Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 598 A Guide to Conquering the World Boss of Nazarick

Player forum.

The atmosphere was noisy.

Players across the Asgard map were in an uproar on the forums because no one dared to stay online; anyone who did would be killed by overpowered magic skills.

"Is the game company trying to get everyone to quit the game?"

"Can someone check if the people of Asgard are still online?"

"No, I got killed in the Ice and Snow World as soon as I went up, and I lost another level of experience..."

"Midgard's main city has also been destroyed. Uehara Naraku just slaughtered all the players in the city, and Midgard is now inaccessible..."

"Niflheim is finished too... The whole map is raining lava... The damage won't last more than a few minutes..."

"Muspelheim, the land of fire, has been transformed into a world of ice and snow... This world's boss is truly going to destroy the world!"

"..."

"Is Helheim the last of the Nine Worlds?"

"The last message before logging off seemed to be that Uehara Naraku was attacking Nazarick, the last guild stronghold, which I think was Ainz Ooal Gown's stronghold?"

"Is that the same base that, like Sky City, is said to never fall, the base that wiped out a coalition of 1,500 men?"

"There's such a powerful guild?"

"Newbies probably don't know this, but the Ainz Ooal Gown guild is a bunch of oddballs. They seem to only accept players who spend real money, and they rarely participate in large-scale events... because they have too few members..."

"It hasn't even been a day, has it? Uehara Naraku has single-handedly fought his way from the highest level map, Asgard's Sky City, all the way down to the lowest level map, Helheim's Nazarick..."

"I just want to know when this cataclysmic event will end..."

"I'm more interested in knowing what the game company is actually trying to do..."

"Insider information suggests that the game company's president, Uehara, heard that the world boss modeled after him was constantly being hunted by players, so he had a Cataclysm version developed..."

"Really?"

"Are there really company presidents like this?"

"This is too much! Well then, there's nothing more to say. After the Great Cataclysm ends, we'll log in again and team up to push down Uehara Naraku. How can we not get revenge..."

"+1!"

"Is there really any hope...?"

"Last time, our five guilds sent five magic casters using super-tier magic, along with countless pay-to-win items, and blasted away 10% of his health in one go... In the end, Uehara Naraku countered with a single Elemental Chaos Rain and wiped them all out..."

"Awkward…"

"Shout out our slogan!"

"I won't quit YGGDRASIL until I've defeated Uehara Naraku!"

The entire forum was in an uproar.

The game company's customer service department was practically overwhelmed with calls.

Unfortunately, they couldn't make any decisions. The only ones who could make decisions were attacking the last guild stronghold, the Great Tomb of Nazarick, the stronghold of the Ainz Ooal Gown guild.

This guild...

It also possesses the most world-class items!

Ten levels below the Great Tomb of Nazarick, all members of the Ainz Ooal Gown guild gathered in the throne room to discuss how to confront Uehara Naraku.

"The cataclysmic event may not be as simple as we think."

Bu Niu Meng sat in her chair and slowly began to speak: "According to the intelligence we've received, any player who possesses a world-class item will inevitably drop it upon being killed. This incident might also be a tactic by the game company to reclaim world-class items..."

"What if I quit the game?"

"That's not very realistic either."

Momonga shook his head and continued, explaining, "According to known intelligence, all players must undergo the cataclysmic event. Even if they quit the game, they will remain in the game in an AFK state, which means they are at the mercy of others unless they die once before quitting..."

Bu Niu Meng nodded, looking at everyone as she continued, "Furthermore, if we kill someone who possesses a World-Class Item, it will definitely drop as well, which means that the World-Class Item will definitely appear in front of Uehara Naraku..."

"Then let's fight a defensive battle on our territory!"

"This is our home turf. Who knows, we might be the first guild to defeat Uehara Naraku, the world boss..."

"Shalltear Bradfordren, the guardian of the first to third floors created by Peroroncino, has gone to meet the enemy!"

"Uehara Naraku has already entered. Let's quickly come up with a plan..."

A mirrored screen of light appeared on the table of the entire Ainz Ooal Gown guild, revealing a cute silver-haired girl wearing bright red armor. She was the Guardian NPC created by Peroroncino, and also a Guardian with top-tier overall strength!

Shalltear Bradfordren!

Even some players in Ainz Ooal Gown's guild might not be as strong as Shalltear, because she is wearing a full set of legendary equipment and a divine artifact, the Dropper Spear!

However, Shalltear's power should make her invincible in group battles...

Because she can use her dropper gun to replenish the HP of those around her at any time!

Indeed, this was the case. Before Shalltear even engaged in battle, the creator, Peroroncino, deliberately manipulated her to summon a group of familiars—vampire brides—and distract the enemy, all to replenish Shalltear's own HP...

The second level of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

Just as Uehara Naraku stepped in, Shalltear leaped forward, brandishing her dropper spear, to meet him in battle. This adorable silver-haired, red-armored girl was about to unleash her formidable close-combat prowess!

However, a fist slammed towards Shalltear, bypassing the dripping spear and about to knock the girl NPC to the ground!

"High-level teleportation!"

Shalltear vanished in an instant!

However, it had no effect. The silver-haired girl stood there, bewildered. Why did her spatial teleportation skill seem to have failed...?

The next moment, Uehara Naraku's fist slammed into Shalltear's face, sending the silver-haired girl flying. He also snatched the dropper spear from Shalltear's hand and severed the connection between the dropper spear and Shalltear's body!

Immediately afterwards…

Uehara Naraku suddenly hurled the dropper spear, pinning Shalltear's body firmly to the ground. Even in her dying moments, the silver-haired girl remained in a bewildered NPC state…

Guardians of the first to third floors…

Shalltear Bradfordren has been murdered!

Uehara Naraku simply sealed off the space and used two ordinary attacks to kill this top-tier NPC girl!

The bottom level of the Ainz Ooal Gown Guild.

Peroroncino clutched his head, his face contorted with displeasure, and exclaimed, "Ughhhhh, how could that guy treat Shalltear like that?!"

"Hey! Hey! Hey!"

Bubble Teapot glanced at his younger brother and slowly advised, "Be rational, she's an NPC... Besides, that Shalltear wasn't all that great to begin with!"

"That's the cutest creation ever made!"

"What do you mean, the cutest creation? She's clearly the most repulsive one! You pervert, you've just added all your own fetishes to Shalltear's design!"

"You're the real pervert for doing voice acting for certain games! And look at your own slime character, it's practically a walking Ding..."

Bang!

Just as Peroroncino and Bubble Teapot were still bickering and the others were still discussing countermeasures, the mirror screen on the table suddenly lit up, and a strong vibration startled all the guild members!

An image flashed across the mirrored screen.

Two mangled corpses lay on the sixth floor of the arena!

Those were two dark elf NPCs, the twin siblings Aura and Mare, created by Bubble Teapot. The guardian of the sixth floor had also been killed!

That's good...

The Bubble Teapot and the Peroroncino siblings don't need to argue anymore; all the NPCs they created have been killed...

Momonga couldn't help but ask, "Wait, the guardian of the sixth floor was killed, but what about Cocytus, the guardian of the fifth floor?"

"They're definitely dead too..."

"Don't panic, we'll wait on the ninth floor. Our trump card is on the eighth floor. We'll deal with it after Uehara Naraku breaks through to the eighth floor..."

"Let's see how things go on the seventh floor... Is there any hope that Demiurge can make Uehara Naraku lose more health? So far, his HP seems to be full, right?"

"That's not very realistic..."

"Wait a minute, why do we feel like the bosses in those dungeons and maps that we're about to defeat, while Uehara Naraku is like a player clearing a dungeon?"

"It seems like our roles are reversed..."

"Whether it's their status or their abilities, it all seems reversed..."

"..."

The noise from the entire Ainz Ooal Gown guild suddenly stopped.

Every player finally realized that something was wrong. Even though it was an invincible world boss attacking their guild's territory, why did they feel like the other side was actually raiding a dungeon?

Oh, and I'm going to make a bonus chapter for the New Year...

Leave a message here if there's anything you'd like to see.

I'm currently thinking of Konan's Infinite Tsukuyomi arc. Do you have any other ideas?
