"We can't teleport, so it will take us a while to get there."

Hiyori Shiina gave a soft "hmm":

"I remember that Yotsuya and the others had Y-GUNs."

"Although we can't directly view enemy information..."

"But seeing that they didn't seem to be turning around, I figured they were still on guard for the time being. I'll see how things go and decide what to do next."

......

And just as the girl had predicted.

In fact, as she left, Nanase Tsubasa and the others spotted two enemies lurking behind them at a distance on Y-GUN's radar screen.

Although Y-GUN does not have a compendium function to directly view the specific stats of enemies.

But the glowing spots were much brighter and redder than those of ordinary enemies, and they had left from not far outside Nazarick...

It's not hard to guess who's on the other end.

The only thing we need to guess is the exact level of the opponent's strength.

Having just experienced the terror of the Hell Lord, they also knew very well that, given the absolute disparity in strength, gambling with their lives now would be a waste of their chance to be resurrected.

then.

The group remained silent as they walked through the woods.

As long as the other party doesn't offer themselves willingly, they'll pretend they didn't find out.

On a mountain ridge several kilometers away from them.

Using their magical abilities, Aura and Mare were able to observe the group's actions closely.

"Sister...have we been discovered?" Mare gripped her staff tightly, biting her lip anxiously.

Aura, perched on a treetop, propped her chin on her hand and said noncommittally:

"Let's follow them and see. If it's a trap ahead, or if there's anything suspicious, we'll use the teleportation scroll to go back immediately."

"However... these people seem genuinely afraid of us."

Aura touched her nose, staring enviously at the Y-GUN in Yotsuya Miko's hand.

"Sigh... If it weren't for Lord Ainz's orders, I really would have jumped down and snatched the tools they were holding to study them."

"I bet they found us through that prop, Marey, do you believe me?"

Mare nodded slightly, his voice barely audible:

"It seems that after the voice that appeared out of nowhere disappeared, they did check the prop before suddenly changing their route."

"But sister... I... I'd better set up a defensive formation first. It wouldn't be good if their accomplices ambushed us from the shadows..."

As he spoke, Mare raised the artifact [Shadow of the World Tree] in his hand, intending to stack a high-level resistance shield and physical defense barrier around the two of them.

Seeing this, Aura didn't say anything to stop her, but simply looked up at the moon, which was obscured by dark clouds, and sighed with a sense of inexplicable emotion:

"Hopefully it will work. But Lord Ainz also said that if we encounter a truly dangerous situation that even magic can't defend against, we'll probably have no choice but to use the [Map of Mountains and Rivers] in the end..."

She hadn't even finished speaking.

With the terrifying intuition of a top-tier beast tamer, Aura suddenly felt a sense of foreboding!

"Mare! Get out of the way—!"

Aura instinctively cried out, her body already recoiling to the side.

but.

It was all too late.

Above the sky, there were no magical fluctuations, no dazzling special effects.

Only an invisible and colorless, yet heavy and terrifying gravity, like a falling star, crashed down!

They completely ignored the dozens of layers of high-level magic shields that were stacked on Mare's body!

"Pfft—!!!"

He didn't even have time to cast a spell.

This younger brother was instantly crushed into a pool of scarlet flesh and blood right before Aura's eyes!

"Ma...Mare!!!"

Aura's brain nearly shut down at that moment.

Driven by her instinct for survival, she still flashed away, turning into a blur, and frantically retreated to create distance.

"Impossible! How could this be?!"

Aura was genuinely frightened.

'I clearly had my senses active the whole time! Why... why didn't I sense even the slightest fluctuation of magical energy?!'

She looked up in alarm.
