A crossover anime, where people are in Classroom of the Imaginary Era, and behind the scenes, the ki

Upon seeing Ainz suddenly teleport back, Demiurge, who had been waiting there, immediately stepped forward and bowed:

"Lord Ainz."

"Based on our observation just now, among that group of testers, apart from the white-haired witch, there are two other individuals who also possess resurrection items."

Demiurge said with annoyance, "I originally intended to leave them behind. But those ninja soldiers hidden in the shadows were too fast. Taking advantage of the gap in Kiryuin's sneak attack, I forcibly dragged them into the shadows... This was my mistake. Please punish me, sir."

Ainz waved his hand dismissively, interrupting his self-reproach:

"Demiurge, it's normal that you didn't expect the opponent to have a resurrection item. After all, even for us, not everyone has a resurrection item, so there's no need to worry about it."

"Our more important task right now is to welcome this group of otherworldly examinees who will officially begin their 'exam'."

With that, Ainz stopped wasting time.

He raised his hand and opened the guild system's resurrection interface.

Ainz glanced at the remaining gold in the guild vault and felt a headache coming on.

He hadn't expected the destruction by the Ghost Dragon Institute to be so extensive, directly damaging more than half of the guild's stored gold coins.

To be honest, he couldn't even resurrect all the guardians once.

Fortunately, because of his caution, it's enough for now, at least for the time being.

Ainz began to operate at lightning speed.

"During the time between my resurrection of Albedo and Cocytus and their awakening... I entrust the safety of my surroundings to you."

Ainz gave the order without turning his head.

Upon hearing this, Demiurge straightened his back and placed his right hand on his chest, saying:

"Rest assured, Lord Ainz! I, Demiurge, am willing to risk my life to vouch for you!"

However, this vow of loyalty had only just been made.

The shadows surrounding the throne room suddenly began to churn like boiling ink.

Countless shadowy ninjas with only scarlet eyes emerged from the shadows without warning, surrounding the throne!

"court death!"

Demiurge's eyes sharpened.

With a wave of his hand, scorching hellfire gathered in his palm, ready to burn the annoying ghost soldiers around him to ashes in one fell swoop.

As an intelligence operative stationed in the rear to oversee the overall situation, he had already figured out the general capabilities of these ghost soldiers through the details of the battle outside.

Possessing a certain level of intelligence, even after being killed, it will quickly reappear in the shadows.

It can be said to be an excellent vehicle for human wave tactics.

However, the individual strength of these monsters is weak. Even the strongest troll-sized ghost soldier is only equivalent to a mid-to-low-level monster of level 30 or 40 at most.

For a guardian like him, not even a defense could be broken; a simple seventh-tier area-of-effect spell would easily wipe him out.

Therefore, Demiurge did not pay much attention to this group of cannon fodder.

His greater vigilance was focused on Nan Yunya and her companions, who could launch a surprise attack at any time using spatial means.

However, his neglect of the Shadow Soldiers caused him a great loss.

Because he had absolute trust in Demiurge, Ainz Ooal Gown devoted himself entirely to the resurrection operation on the system panel.

Completely oblivious to the commotion around them...

No, or to be more precise.

With Ainz's max-level detection magic, he naturally sensed the presence of these ants.

But he believed that Demiurge could be easily crushed and that he didn't need to be distracted.

That's why he didn't pay attention.

then.

A group of strangely shaped Shadow Eaters, taking advantage of the shadows cast by the deaths of other black-clad ninjas, silently appeared in the shadows behind Ainz.

These tiny Shadow Devourers, barely bigger than rats, greedily licked their lips.

"Suck it-"

A very soft swallowing sound was heard.

Just as Ainz realized what was happening and was about to trigger a magical counterattack...

His shadow, projected onto the ground, had already been completely devoured by several Shadow Devourers!

Upon seeing this, Demiurge, who had just unleashed his black flames, turned his head.

Lord Ainz, standing before the throne, froze!

Immediately afterwards, he raised his hand and clicked on the hand bone on the system's resurrection "Agree" screen, and it was abruptly suspended in mid-air.

A sense of foreboding welled up in Demiurge's heart:

"Lord Ainz...?"
