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

“...Okay.” Aizen nodded and wrapped the large box inside as well.

Without giving Miss Fox a chance to speak, it charged straight up and left.

Chapter 152 End

Thunder roared, wind howled, and a giant dragon circled.

Dark clouds gathered, thunder roared and lightning flashed, a black dragon writhed in the earth, the foundations collapsed, the great tomb crumbled, and magma and ice, two natural environments that were almost impossible to meet, collided and mixed, and finally disappeared in the dragon's writhing.

It blended into a cluster of exquisite buildings, turned back into soil, and disappeared completely from the geographical landscape.

"Just like the equipment in the Great Tomb of Nazarick..." Holding the box that Aizen had helped her bring out, Miss Fox shed unspeakable tears.

She originally planned to become stronger and solo the Great Tomb of Nazarick, then everything inside would be hers.

The result was completely unexpected.

The group mission started early, and in this wave of team battles, not only were the loot divided equally, but even the loot was barely managed to be kept in a single box.

Most importantly, she forgot about Shalltear and failed to decompose her to make the most of her resources.

"Hey..."

Seeing Miss Fox sigh and weep, Qingshan on the ice felt a pang of heartache, as if his heart was being gripped tightly, making it hard to breathe.

We have to do something.

"...Just a newbie trying to make up the numbers. Look, is Aizen using Five Dragons Transformation right now?"

After thinking for a moment, Aoyama chose to steer the conversation toward Aizen, "It looks like it should be the 99th level of the Hado technique, Ryuten no Mitsuki, but why is there only one dragon?"

Miss Fox continued to weep silently, ignoring him.

"It was just a small experiment." Aizen appeared beside the two in a flash and explained.

Having learned Yin-Yang techniques and referenced systems from other worlds, Aizen didn't just focus on turning Kido into paper talismans; he would occasionally improve some Hado or Bindo techniques.

And the current transformation of the five dragons at the original site of the Great Tomb of Nazarick into the Five Dragons of Annihilation is one of his achievements.

It reduces the effort required to destroy a single dragon with five dragons and eliminates the incantation without cost. Although its power is reduced to less than a fraction of its original strength, it is still quite effective.

It is very suitable for demolition work.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing I wanted to tell you about Fox."

"Alas...it's too late."

As soon as Aizen finished speaking, Miss Fox felt her head go blank and could no longer feel her own existence.

But there seemed to be a vague, hazy feeling. Miss Fox recalled the things she had almost grasped when Purple Mother's gap opened in front of her.

Still, still a little short.

As soon as I reached out, my senses returned, and the sensations from before vanished.

It's just a little strange.

Miss Fox clearly remembered that she was lying on top of the box just now, but now when she opened her eyes, she saw the sky and her body was falling down, but she was stopped and did not fall.

Looking up, she saw that it was Uncle Aizen supporting her.

"?"

Moreover, Miss Fox discovered that Pegasus had come out.

"What happened?"

"So that's why you, fox, were able to be resurrected..."

Aizen stroked Pegasus's fur, "You have a good partner, so my backup plan is useless."

With that, Aizen threw a body onto the ground.

Yes, a body. A woman's body.

After being rendered in three dimensions, it's impossible to tell who it is just by looking at their faces, but judging from their flat chests and short hair, it should be Soi Fon...

And on the ground lies Aizen's body, imbued with the concept of "death." Hmm... a Gikai?

"???"

"The Great Tomb of Nazarick is a trap. It seems to be a trap set on a certain level. When it is destroyed, it will release an indiscriminate [instant death] attack on a large area of ​​creatures. Our position just happened to be right on the edge."

Aizen explained casually, "It was quite interesting. The experience of death in an instant made many thoughts clear, and I gained a lot of insights."

"Huh...?" Such a good thing? Why didn't she die like that before? She always came back to life the moment she opened and closed her eyes.

But then again, "Uncle, it seems like we're not the only ones here..."

The elf and the Grim Reaper turned around together and saw Aoyama's corpse, which, like Aizen's artificial body on the ground, was covered with the concept of "death".

“…” “…”

Aizen adjusted his glasses, realizing he had truly forgotten about Aoyama.

The initial plan to participate in this task was to ensure the safety of the newbies who were just there to make up the numbers. Although Aoyama was among the participants, he forgot about it while he was busy.

"Fortunately, the soul is still intact."

Aizen picked up Soi Fon's artifact, saying, "This was originally a backup plan for you, Fox, so it wasn't wasted."

Miss Fox couldn't see what was happening, but she felt that Aizen seemed to have grabbed something and stuffed it into Soi Fon's Gikai.

"Does the older gentleman prefer Soi Fon's type?"

"Huh?" Aizen was momentarily stunned.

But Aizen had spent a considerable amount of time with the two newbies and discussed many topics, so he quickly grasped their thoughts and followed the fox-girl's train of thought.

He said, half-laughing and half-crying, "I just grabbed it casually."

"I see... then, sir..."

[Mission objective confirmed destroyed, mission complete. Merit calculation to begin.]

The mission announcement arrived late.

[Mission Achievement Report]

[This task is initiated by newbies in the group killing a max-level NPC; performance bonus +10]

[Group members, just filling in the numbers, followed up by killing several mobs, defeating 6/7 of the Pleiades, one max-level NPC, charming one max-level NPC, and defeating the main target Ainz Ooal Gown once. Performance +9]

[Group members are just filling in the numbers, newbie restrictions apply. The main target is Ainz Ooal Gown's resurrection, performance +10]

[The group member, the general store owner, finished off the remaining enemies, destroying the entire Great Tomb of Nazarick and eliminating a large number of grunts. He also killed the main target, Ainz Ooal Gown, once. This final kill earns him a +10 performance bonus.]

[Group member Qingshan the Great Demon King betrayed information, performance -10]

[After this task is completed, a group owner selection process will be conducted.]

[Do you want to receive the reward? 】

"It seems a little different from last time..."

Miss Fox scratched her head, unable to figure it out.

Especially the information about calculating the uncle's performance, she only killed two max-level NPCs, and the rest were all wiped out by Aizen's one-shot version of the Five Dragons Transformation. Why didn't the announcement mention that?

"Could it be that he's still alive?"

"No, he's already dead."

Aizen said, "This should be judged according to the standard of individual strength. Those max-level NPCs are more difficult for the fox, so they get more points, but to me they are ants and not worth mentioning."

Makes sense.

[Note: Within this world, any items and equipment can be used without regard to conditions (Note: Side effects are also ignored this time)]

[All martial arts cultivation methods in this world (with basic, fully developed versions)]

[Strengthen (with literal meaning)]

The reward this time is so meager...

Scratching her head, Miss Fox made her choice.

Nothing more than the thought that a certain masked loli is still inside the "Landscape Painting." If I choose this option, then I can release her.

Anyway, the rewards from this mission are incredibly meager!

"Uncle, what about you? What reward did you get?"

[Isekai Version of the Hogyoku]

[All knowledge of the existing magic system in this world]

Aizen didn't hesitate and chose...

...

[Since your contribution was negative, there will be no reward.]

Chapter 153 Group Upgrade Notice

After this mission, a group leader selection will be held.

This information was mixed in during the group task settlement, and it was actually carried out after the rewards were settled.

[Group Announcement: The newbie who was just filling in the numbers for the group owner position received the most votes]

[Group Announcement: Congratulations to the newbie who was just filling in the group to get promoted to group owner! You will now have group owner privileges.]

It was basically a foregone conclusion, since Miss Fox was the only candidate for group leader from beginning to end.

Getting the group leader position is basically a done deal.

"Now that I've gotten what I wanted when I joined the group, why don't I feel happy at all?"

Miss Fox frowned as she thought to herself.

When she joined the group, she was clearly focused on getting the group admin position, and then, for that goal, she...

she...

She seemed to have done nothing, yet won the whole thing! Hehe~☆

She had almost forgotten about it herself; she was more concerned about the only inheritance she had in the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

It's become an old flame in the blink of an eye, oh dear...

'Huh? Master, master, everyone's gone?'

Miss Fox was taken aback, somewhat confused by her own Zanpakuto's question.

Everyone's gone. Right after the rewards were settled, Uncle Aizen and that other guy were sent away by the World Consciousness for a while. What's with only realizing this now?

“You’re just a mortal, you can’t do this.”

The fox sighed, "I was counting on you to be my detector in the future, but your reaction is so slow. Doesn't this force me to learn a technique of divine sense detection?"

'Your way of speaking is so strange. Even if you try to imitate that handsome older man, you won't get the same feel for him. Give up.'

Handsome, handsome middle-aged man?!

Hmm, he does seem quite handsome. When Aizen came over, he wasn't wearing glasses or making any attempt to disguise his personality. He just spoke in a very old-fashioned way. I wonder what Aizen was doing all that time before.

"Also, Master, you still haven't told me where the handsome uncle went. I wanted to discuss changing jobs with him..."

No, it's nothing, Master. Just pretend you didn't hear what I said.

"You want to switch jobs!?" Miss Fan Gu's statement...

The fox was shocked all day!

While Aizen is indeed very handsome, the fox believes she has treated Miss Fangu well and has not done anything to criticize her.

I didn't use it to roast sweet potatoes! Nor did I use it as a teppanyaki grill!

"Why do you want to leave?" The fox couldn't understand.

Since she got together with Miss Fan Gu when she was still a novice, she had never done anything despicable to Miss Fan Gu. So why did Miss Fan Gu want to switch jobs?

"Could it be..." Miss Fox was shocked and took a few steps back.
