Since they can be resurrected, the situation isn't so bad that it's beyond repair.

Now, we must prioritize figuring out the enemy's strengths and weaknesses.

"Aura, Mare."

Ainz asked softly, "Tell me, what exactly did you encounter just now?"

Upon hearing this, Aura knelt on one knee:

"Lord Ainz, I'm so sorry, we've let you down..."

“At the time, Marey and I were ordered to track and monitor those intruders. Just when I thought they had probably discovered us and were preparing to leave as planned.”

"Mare... was crushed by the gravity that came crashing down from the sky! Although I managed to dodge it, the spatial slash that followed was too fast; I had no time to defend against it..."

"It has completely evaded your perception and detection."

"...And it's a spatial slash?"

Ainz tapped the armrest of the throne lightly with his bony fingers, subconsciously asking:

"How does it compare to Touch Me's Spatial Slash? Besides that, have you detected any other useful information about the opponent?"

Aura bit her lip, her tone heavy:

"In my perception... it's probably comparable to Lord Touch Me's spatial slash! As for the rest of the information... I'm incompetent, I apologize, Lord Ainz!"

"The other party never showed up."

Ainz Ooal Gown felt a chill run down his spine.

Even Aura, the most agile and perceptive creature in the Great Tomb of Nazarick, was so easily and silently killed by this opponent...

If it were him, without any preparation, he would probably also be unable to escape being instantly killed!

You know, that was Touch Me's signature move, which even he, fully armed, struggled to defeat!

Just as Ainz was feeling anxious and even began to consider whether to simply seal off all the exits of the Great Tomb and hide there,

Aura suddenly gave him some information that could barely be considered good news:

"However, Lord Ainz."

"Actually, I had the opportunity to escape directly using the [Map of Mountains and Rivers]."

"But after thinking about it, that person posed too great a threat to the Great Tomb... so I gave up on escaping and chose to activate the [Map of Mountains and Rivers], forcibly capturing all creatures within that area into my item space!"

This statement came out.

All the guardians, including Ainz, were filled with awe.

After all, ever since I transmigrated to this world...

He, Ainz Ooal Gown, has never attempted to resurrect any of the guardians of the Great Tomb.

How can one not be moved by Aura's spirit of sacrifice, which is embodied in her willingness to die?

"Well done, Yaura..."

Ainz has not yet offered her the praise she deserves.

Aura pursed her lips again, adding with some concern:

"But my only worry right now is, could this be a trap set by the other side to lure me into making a move?"

"Or... it might just be a long-range attack method that we can't understand, and the caster isn't actually within the scope of the Mountain and River Map?"

"Lord Ainz, what do you suggest we do now?"

Upon hearing this, Ainz's mind raced.

A moment later, combined with the information obtained from the previous memory search of Tsukishiro Tsuneobu.

He slowly began to speak:

"Whether it was sent by the same person or not, I have some impression of the person who used a similar spatial slash in the memories of that human named Tsukishiro Tsuneshige."

"His name is Su Wei. As the strongest among these visitors from another world, according to intelligence, he should not have the ability to strike with precision at long range for the time being."

"As long as we trap him inside the Mountain and River Map, we will eliminate more than half of our threat."

"Aura, you made the right choice, I'm so proud of you!"

Just as the atmosphere in the hall eased slightly due to the successful trapping of the enemy general.

Demiurge suddenly stepped forward, adjusted his glasses, and said:

"Lord Ainz."

"Since intelligence indicates they've come here for a so-called 'trial,' and there's a strict time limit..."

"Moreover, the enemy's strongest combat force has already been removed from the battlefield..."

"So for now, the safest approach is probably to activate the highest level of defenses at the Great Tomb of Nazarick, observe the situation from Nazarick, and stall until their time runs out."

"It's not too difficult for us to deal with Shalltear's betrayal once we've run out of time."

However, to Demiurge's surprise...
