How did you bunch of silly group members also time travel?

Ainz Ooal Gown sat atop the throne of the Kings of World-Class Items.

In Nazarick, there are two items belonging to Nazarick itself. One is the Throne of the Kings, a world-class item located in the sixteenth tier, and the other is the guild artifact Ainz Ooal Gown, which Ainz currently holds.

If these two special items are destroyed, especially the Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown, Nazarick's defense system will be partially paralyzed, and most of the guild's functions will be rendered unusable.

Now facing a contingent of powerful individuals from different other worlds, including a formidable stealth user, Ainz Ooal Gown will be defending Nazarick alone for the first time, risking the name of his guild and using items shared by his friends.

Therefore, Ainz Ooal Gown is always carried close to his body and sits on the throne of the kings, displaying nine light screens to detect all levels except the tenth level. It requires the real-time dynamics of all levels of the Great Tomb of Nazarick to prevent enemy infiltration!

*Tap!* Suddenly! The sound of high heels clicking on the floor rang out. Ainz Ooal Gown asked curiously, "Is it all taken care of, Albedo?"

"Oh dear, Ainz-sama, I'm not that bitch Albedo~"

Shalltear reports for duty: obeying her master's orders and causing the biggest commotion at all costs!

"Master's mission, could you please ask Ainz-sama to die once?"

Chapter 145 Pleiades Cluster 6/7

The first to lead the attack was Yuri, the headless knight and leader of the Pleiades.

On the surface, it seemed to be aiming to attack Yakumo Ran, but the moment it got close, it suddenly transformed into a phantom, passing by Yakumo Ran, gathering dense magical power, and punched the fox's edge, slamming into the air.

"You guessed the wrong spot." The fox glanced at Yakumo Ran, then grabbed the headless knight's hand to prevent her fist from hitting the ground. The magic power in that fist, and the arc of that attack, suggested that the maid was trying to destroy the ground.

The fox wasn't from the Great Tomb, so it didn't know what was on the ground inside, especially near the chambers of the level guardians. What bad things might happen if it were disturbed?

"So I won't do as you wish..."

But the headless knight, whose arm was grabbed, did not break free. Instead, he used it as a fulcrum to turn around and perform a maneuver capable of tearing human ligaments, allowing another hand, also wearing a strange flail-like gauntlet, to come around from behind and smash into the fox's face.

However, this is useless.

The fox, no longer a novice in combat, showed no dissatisfaction. Never letting her guard down, she dodged a punch with a sideways movement and returned the favor by smashing the headless knight's head off with her shield.

"I'm here~~~"

But before she could press her advantage, the fox felt a gust of wind and snapped Yuri's hands to prop herself up and dodge the slide tackle from Lupus Rechina, the werewolf with the Pleiades's second daughter designation.

In his haste, he glanced at Yakumo Ran and his fox face twitched as he realized that the naked celestial fox had stepped aside and was just watching from the side!

"Yakumo Ran, why are you just staring like that? Could it be that you... Waaah!?" Suddenly, a snap interrupted the chanting.

Yuri, whose head had been knocked off, was momentarily slowed down due to her own uncoordinated movements. As the falling fox landed on the headless knight, who was caught off guard, the fox instinctively applied force, causing Yuri's waist to bend sharply. The sudden shift in her center of gravity left the fox scrambling and disoriented.

Bang! Just as the fox looked down, it felt something fly over its head, and a bullet lodged in the stone wall not far behind it.

"Thunder Dragon!" Crackling lightning flashed, giving the fox no time to catch its breath.

The insect girl, her mouth full of worms, pointed at her, and a thunder dragon with its ferocious maw lunged at her.

She heard several more bangs, and a few more bullets followed, blocking her escape route.

A whooshing sound came from the left; the werewolf who had slid in swung his axe and hurled it in their direction. Suddenly, the headless horseman's body below clung tightly to one of her arms, preventing her from escaping. A remarkably coordinated effort.

"Wake up, mortal!"

Caught in a pincer movement with nowhere to retreat, the fox cried out, and with a clang, the spinning, hurtling axe was blocked and sent flying back by Miss Fan Gu.

The fox also raised its shield in a defensive stance, and the massive thunder dragon failed to penetrate the spiritual energy shield, its energy being diverted elsewhere. As for the bullets?

Let the bullets pass by you, let them fly a little longer.

"Drink!!" battle cry!

She kicked away the headless knight's body that was clinging to her calf, swung her mortal bone to cut off the talisman thrown by the spider girl, and skillfully used her shield to counter the werewolf who was swinging his axe at her. Occasionally, she used the mortal bone as a shield to block the insect girl's magic that was about to brush against her. She completely ignored the eyepatch girl shooting a gun in the distance. Only then did the fox have a chance to shout at Yakumo Ran: "Yakumo Ran! What are you doing, Yakumo Ran!"

"Why are you just standing there watching!"

With a single shield, he swatted away the werewolf, and amidst a hail of bullets and magical bombardment, he forcefully broke the headless knight's leg.

"Weren't you sent by Zi Ma to help me!?"

"I did not betray you." Yakumo Ran revealed half of her body behind a stone pillar, her several sparse tails making a strong presence as they swayed incessantly.

She said, "Lady Purple only asked me to ensure the safety of Lord Fox; I will not participate in the battle."

"I tore it up because Purple Mom didn't tell me how to trigger the spell card!!"

"No, as a shikigami, I will only strictly obey my master's orders no matter what happens, and it has nothing to do with this matter," Yakumo Ran said immediately, but the tail behind her stopped wagging.

The fox gritted its teeth. As expected, Purple Mom was the most unreliable! It was very troublesome to be facing the attack of the Pleiades alone. Whether it was one-on-one, one by one, or even two or three in a group, she could deliver a fatal blow.

But now, facing a pincer attack from these six Pleiades star clusters simultaneously, that's...

Wait, six?

The fox calmed down and dealt with the melee attacks from the headless knight and werewolf, as well as the ranged harassment from the insect girl, the eyepatch girl, and the spider girl. He counted them on his fingers and found that he had five!

A slime that eats people without its breasts!

"Did you notice, Lady Fox?" Yakumo Ran suddenly said, "She's right below you."

Directly below?

After forcing back the headless knight and werewolf who were attacking her from both sides, the fox paused. Suddenly, a large amount of blue, viscous liquid emerged from the ground, forming a huge sphere that enveloped her.

Slime!

She did not resist; the slime bound her tightly, leaving only her head exposed.

No matter how hard she tried, the fluid slime could easily dissipate her power and she couldn't break free at all; it was quite sturdy as a chain.

The fox nodded.

"Yakumo Ran, are you still watching like this...?" Turning around, the entire naked celestial fox was gone!

Okay...

"That's great, Suo Liuxiang, you've done a great job!"

"Even humans who can defeat Lord Demiurge are helpless against me once I bind them."

"Hey, even though Solusang has already captured this human, why can't we see him?"

"Ainz-sama said that this human's passive ability is invisibility."

"Strange, we can't get in touch with Ainz-sama at all, but a Guardian of the Floors said that Ainz-sama has already sent them over..."

"Edom wants her voice!"

"..." The maids of the Pleiades star cluster breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the fox captured, and gathered together, standing very close together.

Although neither side has disarmed or relaxed their vigilance, they are clearly much more cautious than before.

"...Do you know?" Upon hearing this, the fox, who was tightly bound by Suo Liuxiang, suddenly spoke, calm and composed, showing no sign of panic.

"Being restrained is not, in theory, an abnormal state, but simply a state in which the body's movements are affected by external forces."

"You!...You!?"

The fox didn't answer. Instead, it released emerald green spiritual energy from its body, expanding Suo Liuxiang's body into a ball. Even though Suo Liuxiang tried to shrink back and bind the fox again, it couldn't resist this power and burst it apart!

Great will.

Aside from certain special abnormal states, it is an active skill that can remove all abnormal states from itself.

"But the bound state is judged as an abnormal state by this skill!"

While the maids in the Pleiades were still processing this information, the fox roared and cast another battle cry buff to subdue them!

Devour them! Mortal bones!

Spiritual energy erupted from the mortal bone sword, creating a vortex of energy. The fox held the greatsword horizontally, like a standard billiards player.

"Deadly Thrust! Guardian Deer!"

The giant sword, with its spiraling thrusts, was like a meat grinder; the maids of the Pleiades had no time to defend themselves or escape.

The massive blade thrust out, followed by a brief pause and the appearance of a verdant divine deer.

The elegant and noble deer raised its head, its sharp antlers concealing the fatal wound it had narrowly escaped, or perhaps the injury the maid who had been pushed aside should have suffered.

Only a spider's head hanging from the tip of the sword remained intact; the rest was littered with fragments, and only a few barely alive maids remained.

solved.

"Something's here. Based on the strength analysis of the feedback, it's a level guardian, Lady Fox." Yakumo Ran reappeared and used a spell card to restore the fox to its full strength.

"Shall we continue, Lord Fox?"

"...What is Shalltear doing?!"

Chapter 146 Rescue Operation Three

Ainz Ooal Gown raised his hand, and the dark, oppressive death magic transformed into a bone claw.

Such magic was useless against Shalltear; it was a pure waste of magic. Shalltear simply waved her hand, and a surge of magic from the blood pool neutralized it.

"Shalltear, look at this pool of blood behind you, just how many of your former comrades have you attacked?" Ainz Ooal Gown, glowing green, stared at the blood orb beside Shalltear that showed no signs of diminishing despite being used indiscriminately, and roared.

Blood Pool, a special skill of professional bloodthirsty individuals, allows them to store the blood of victims for various purposes. They can also extract magical energy from it.

Shalltear has used this skill from the very beginning until now, and it hasn't diminished at all. One can only imagine how many of her colleagues in the Great Tomb of Nazarick she had killed before she came to find it.

"Who knows, maybe a hundred, maybe two hundred... Ainz-sama, do you remember how many maids, how many servants, and monsters Nazarick have?" Shalltear elegantly fiddled with her fingers, and as she spoke, she once again activated the blood pool to release magic. A pale light flashed, but it was intercepted by the shield automatically released by Ainz Ooal Gown's staff in Ainz Ooal Gown's hand.

In this battle, Shalltear is no longer the mindless monster who only fights when attacked. Ainz Ooal Gown has no time to prepare a strategy or equipment specifically for Shalltear, nor does he have time to apply all his buffs before the battle.

Even without her signature weapon, Shalltear still held the upper hand in her battle against Ainz Ooal Gown.

"How could Shalltear dare to fight Ainz-sama without preparation?"

But Shalltear is very anxious now.

Her master's task for her was to draw the attention of the Great Tomb of Nazarick at all costs.

But even though she and Ainz Ooal Gown have been fighting for quite some time now, and the commotion has been immense, for some reason, it's always just her and Ainz Ooal Gown fighting here; not a single other Floor Guardian has been drawn to the scene.

"Ainz-sama, what have you done?"

"Who knows, Shalltear?" Ainz Ooal Gown was not at peace either.

Shalltear and its affinity were not good to begin with. Some equipment that could be used to target Shalltear was used to arm NPCs. Now, even with the assistance of Ainz Ooal Gown's Staff, they seemed somewhat powerless against Shalltear.

Moreover, Shalltear has yet to appear fully armed; she's not serious, still considering something, which only adds to its headache. The enemy on guard is likely already lurking within the Great Tomb of Nazarick...

We've already notified the Guardians of the Floors to provide support, but why hasn't a single one arrived yet...?

...

The second tier, Shalltear's chambers, the "Dead Wax Chamber".

Albedo and several other max-level NPCs from the Great Tomb of Nazarick gathered here, furious at the sight of the Pleiades's corpses scattered all over the ground, yet they could only rage helplessly.

By the time they arrived, the battle was already over, and not a single maid remained intact. They couldn't even find a trace of the enemy.

"It was my dereliction of duty not to come immediately after receiving Ainz-sama's notification of support!" Cocytus said heavily, white breath coming out of his nostrils.

They also did not expect that while Ainz Ooal Gown's emergency renovation plan for the Great Tomb was proceeding smoothly, the enemy would quickly arrive from the capital and find the entrance to Nazarick in a very short time, sneaking in to kill members of the Pleiades.

Although the Great Tomb of Nazarick is the stronghold of the guild "Ainz Ooal Gown", not all creatures inside actually belong to the Great Tomb.

There are also monsters that nest between or within the hierarchical worlds, a large portion of which are neutral wild monsters that normally have a symbiotic relationship with the Great Tomb of Nazarick. When invaded by enemies, they can also serve as cannon fodder to hold them off. Now that the Great Tomb of Nazarick is undergoing large-scale environmental modifications, it's perfectly normal for these monsters to be disturbed; they've already been attacked by these monsters more than once during their activities.

Therefore, when these NPCs, who are the top combat force in Nazarick, received Ainz-sama's support notification and the Pleiades' report, they thought that the Pleiades had just encountered such trouble and had not arrived in time, thus causing this tragedy.

"...After this matter is over, I would like to request to Ainz-sama that I resign from my position as a Floor Guardian. I am no longer worthy of this honor," Cocytus said. The other Floor Guardians shared the same sentiment.

As for the failure of the campaign, not a single NPC in Nazarick ever considered this issue.

Albedo, who had been silent for a long time, stepped forward, her expression filled with resentment, and donned her black steel helmet:

"Ainz-sama has not given any further updates. That damned intruder has not left Nazarick yet. Send one guardian to guard the exit, and the rest of the guardians to spread out and search. Once you find the target, do not act rashly. Notify the rest of the guardians before taking any action!"

Qingshan the Great Demon King: Has this newbie who's just there to fill in already reached level 5?

Newbie just there to fill a spot: I found the teleportation circle, so I arrived at...

Seventeen-year-old girl: Hmph, I've already prepared for this kind of thing~
