Ainz Ooal Gown: Noble Knight.

Chapter 98 Lahoz's Worries (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

"Regarding the security outpost of [Six Arms]," Rune's gaze fell on the map, and he lightly tapped the mark with his finger, "we can reduce our forces now."

Lahoz was slightly taken aback.

[Six Arms], as the representative of the high-end combat power of [Eight Fingers], the title of the strongest assassins in the underworld is enough to make most adventurers hesitate.

In its initial deployment, the Blue Rose allocated its heaviest forces to this stronghold, preparing for a tough battle.

"Why?" Gegrand asked first, his voice a shade lower than usual.

She loosened her muscular arms from their crossed arms, and her square face, with its predatory eyes, narrowed slightly. "What happened with the Six Arms?"

Rune raised his head and looked around at everyone at the table.

"I did something last night."

His tone was indifferent, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

"The Six Arms have now been completely wiped out."

After speaking, Rune surprised the members of the Blue Rose.

Tina and Tia exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's wine-red eyes.

A hint of surprise appeared on Gegrand's rugged face, and even Iveriai, who had been silent all along, paused for a moment behind the slit of his mask.

But Lahoz's anger was more prominent than her surprise.

"What?"

She jumped up from her chair, placing her hands on the table, the hem of her pale red dress swaying gently with her movement.

Those light green eyes were now burning with an anger that only arises from extreme worry.

"Brother, did you go and take down the Six-Armed One last night?"

Lajus slammed her hands on the table again, as if to express her dissatisfaction.

"How could you do this? It's too dangerous!"

Before Rune could explain, a soft light shone on him.

Third-tier Faith-based magic: [Healing from Severe Injuries].

The warm magic swept over Rune's body from head to toe, trying to find any wound that could be healed.

Rune was stunned.

He looked at Li Qiusi in front of him, her fingers still trembling slightly as she maintained the spellcasting posture.

Even though he was already the captain of a Steel-level adventurer team, he could calmly handle all kinds of unexpected events.

But at this moment, the flustered Lahoz seemed to have returned to her childhood self.

Rune was a little touched.

"Calm down, Lajus, I'm not hurt at all." Rune's voice was very soft, like he was soothing a cat with its fur standing on end.

"Boss Devil, there are no signs of injury on your brother," Tina confirmed from the side.

Her gaze swept carefully over Rune's body, and with the eyesight of a ninja thief, she confirmed that there were no wounds on the skin exposed outside his armor.

"Captain, there's not a single tear in his clothes, so don't worry," Iver's calm voice came from behind the mask.

The gaze through the narrow slit lingered on Rune for a moment, confirming the same judgment.

Lahoz was finally relieved.

She stopped casting the spell, walked around the table to Rune's side, and carefully looked him over.

His armor was intact, his robes were neat, and there was no sign of fatigue on his face.

There was no injury.

Lahoz breathed a sigh of relief, but then anger resurfaced on her delicate face.

"How could you act rashly, especially alone, brother!"

Lahoz's face was puffed up with anger, making her look like a pufferfish. She stood in front of Rune with her hands on her hips, her light green eyes full of reproach.

Looking at her like this, Rune suddenly felt like laughing.

The last time I saw her this angry was probably when I was a child.

"It's not actually that dangerous," Rune said, trying to keep his tone relaxed. "I've made thorough preparations."

"Prepare what!" Lahas interrupted him, her voice rising an octave. "The Six Arms is the strongest assassin group in the capital's underground! If something happens to you, brother, I—"

She was only halfway through her sentence when something seemed to block her throat, and she couldn't say anything more.

Looking at her slightly reddened eyes, Rune felt a gentle clench in his heart.

He really wanted to explain that he was safe.

But before Rune could speak, Gagran had already steered the conversation in another direction.

"A lolicon who single-handedly took down the entire group of [six-armed] beings. He's quite capable."

A malicious smile appeared on Gegland's rugged face, but his admiration and praise were undisguised.

After a pause, Gegrand's voice crackled again.

"I've dealt with those guys before. Not all of them, but each one was tough to handle. If I can take care of them all in one night, I'll want to sleep with you even more."

Even the usually taciturn Iverai nodded slightly, acknowledging Rune's strength.

The mask concealed her expression, but the magnitude of her nod was enough to demonstrate her approval.

"Yeah, Brother Devil didn't even get hurt. He seems much stronger than Boss Devil," Tia chimed in.

Her voice was almost identical to Tina's, but her tone was flatter.

After hearing Tia's words, Li Qiusi lowered her hands from her waist.

Even though Tia was praising Rune by putting down Lajus's strength, Lajus didn't refute it at all.

Instead, the anger on her face seemed to dissipate in the wind, replaced by an expression of even greater joy than self-praise.

Her lips curved slightly, and the corners of her eyes also curved into a beautiful arc.

He would nod from time to time.

It's as if they're saying, "Of course."

Looking at his younger sister's appearance, Rune felt a little helpless, but also a little amused.

Hey, your teammates all call me the devilish older brother, and you're still so happy about it—

He couldn't quite understand Lajus's thought process.

The room was a bit brighter than before.

The morning light peeked through the gaps in the curtains, drawing a thin, golden band on the floor.

Tiny dust particles suspended in the air floated slowly in that light, as if being gently stirred by some invisible hand.

Lajus was still standing there, unable to suppress the smile on her lips.

Those light green eyes were filled with pride, and her whole being seemed to be bathed in a glow.

Rune looked at his younger sister's appearance.

He suddenly remembered many years ago—

In that dark alley, Lagis stood in front of him, looking at him with bright, sparkling eyes, and said, "Onii-chan is amazing."

Back then, Rune had just killed Baron Levion, and his hands were still stained with blood, but now he had just led Sebastian to eliminate the Six Arms, and his hands were clean.

Thirteen years have passed, but some things seem to remain unchanged.
