Zongman: I'm working hard to develop my daily life in the time-travel series

Page 39

The cyan gem on the scepter flashed with a faint light.

"Portal!"

A deep, dark hole appeared out of nowhere in front of Ainz Ooal Gown.

Momonga took a deep breath and slowly stepped into the dark portal.

The next second, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed.

He had arrived at the border between a forest and a grassland.

[Portal]

There are no distance limitations, and the transmission failure rate is 0%.

This is the most useful teleportation spell for the flying squirrel in the game Yggdrasil.

If Shi Yu saw this, he would definitely covet this magic. After all, compared to teleportation, the portal seems much more convenient, and it's also cool and unpredictable.

The flying squirrel cautiously glanced around.

After seeing that everything around him had calmed down, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, the other party did not use magic that would have hindered the teleportation. Otherwise, it would have been bad if the other party had gained the upper hand before we could even save the person."

Momonga lived a life free from violence from childhood, but after being reborn as a ghost, his human emotions were completely suppressed by the ghostly power.

Intense emotional fluctuations trigger a forced calming effect, allowing him to quickly immerse himself in this cruel journey into another world.

At this moment, he was holding an hourglass-shaped prop in his hand.

He planned to immediately jump back into the still-open portal should anyone attempt to ambush him.

Before he had even figured out his opponent's strengths and weaknesses, he had already planned his escape route and follow-up plans, as well as backup options.

The reason why Ainz Ooal Gown was able to maintain the top guild Ainz Ooal Gown until the game was shut down was because of one word: cowardice!

The flying squirrel expressed great pride in this.

Holding the Staff of Anno, Ainz Ooal Gown remained vigilant for a long time until a tall figure clad in jet-black armor emerged from the portal. Only then did Ainz Ooal Gown breathe a sigh of relief and close the portal.

"Lord Momonga."

Albedo bowed respectfully to Ainz Ooal Gown.

The flying squirrel nodded, coldly gazing into the deep, desolate forest of death.

"Very good. This time, let's investigate our neighbors thoroughly. Our main task is to gather information; we must not cause any trouble."

Albedo: "Yes, Lord Ainz."

The flying squirrel breathed a sigh of relief.

He has already tested his magic with the Kingdom Knights in the past two days.

The soldiers who massacred the villagers couldn't even withstand their own low-level fifth-tier magic, Dragon Lightning.

This gave him some confidence in his abilities, which is why he chose to come and find out.

After all, for the flying squirrel, the level 5 magic Dragon Lightning is considered a very weak spell. In a training ground suitable for level 100 players, the lowest-level spells that can cause damage are all at level 8 or above.

So, after seeing that the group of knights were easily wiped out with fifth-tier magic, Ainz's tension was relieved; otherwise, he would never have been willing to come and explore the Death Forest on his own initiative.

Although he had already decided to go to the Forest of Death, he was still very cautious about this forbidden land of the undead.

So he suddenly crushed the hourglass in his hand.

Although it was a waste of a paid item, Ainz felt it was worth it, since he didn't dare gamble that the opponent wouldn't attack him when he used super-tier magic, leaving him defenseless.

Even with Albedo by his side, he still felt somewhat insecure.

That's right, he's preparing to use the super-tier magic - Heavenly Army Descent!

As paid items break,

A dozen or so enormous magic circles appeared above the flying squirrel, centered on it.

A massive beam of light shot out from the magic circle and soared into the sky.

Six angels appeared around the area, accompanied by a pillar of light.

This is an angel with a lion's head, a pair of outstretched wings, and a pair of wings that cover its body, for a total of four wings.

They wore gleaming armor, carried shields adorned with eye patterns, and wielded spears imbued with flames.

Cherubim are the guardians!

Angelic guardians with a level of over 80.

Although she is called an angel, she is essentially a summoned monster. Unlike Tia and Aqua's class leaders, she does not have an independent personality and can only be considered an artificial intelligence at best.

The Cherubim Guardians possess excellent tank performance and superior detection capabilities, making them perfectly adequate as guards. He chose these reputable servants to make a good impression.

Momonga gave the command to the descending Cherubim guards:

"Protect me. Do not attack the enemy first. In case of conflict, do not let the opponent get injured (330), just deprive them of their combat power."

The angel in the sky bowed slightly and said:

"Yes, sir! Summoning Master!"

The flying squirrel nodded.

That's much better. This isn't a compassionate order. Ainz Ooal Gown isn't capable of human emotions at this moment; his order is purely out of concern that they can't win.

"Then let's go!"

Ainz had the angels set up defenses around the area before he prepared to leave.

Summoning magic, a type of super-level magic, also disappears after a certain period of time, so it is essential to avoid wasting time.

“Angels, Albedo will come too. You must protect her as you would protect me.”

"Yes, sir! Summoning Master!"

Albedo rubbed her legs together, her eyes gleaming.

"Lord Ainz... How can you treat me the same as the Supreme Being's body!"

"Albedo, you are the Grand Steward of the Great Tomb of Nazarick. You are very valuable to me, understand? I won't repeat myself, so remember my words!"

"Thank...thank you, sir!"

Albedo excitedly swung her great axe twice.

The flying squirrel glanced at the angel floating beside it with satisfaction, and its sense of security increased significantly.

"let's go!"

P.S. The timing for Chapter 63 was wrong. The first chapter to be released should be Chapter 62, which is already available. You can check it out so the story doesn't feel disjointed.

Chapter Sixty-Six: The Bone King's Test, Expanding the Number of Angels to be Annihilated

My name is Tia, and I am an angel.

[While chasing her vampire best friend, she ended up being captured by a pack of hell wolves and devil spiders.]

[Here I encountered the vampire who put me in danger; she called a man "husband."]

[I was taken prisoner and left in the village by that wretched vampire.]

At first, I couldn't understand why she was so eager for me to stay.

At first, she just told me that she simply couldn't take it anymore, which puzzled me because I knew that wretched vampire should have a bewitching effect after drinking blood.

At first, I didn't understand what she meant. Later, every night I heard that awful vampire call her husband a beast, then try to resist, and finally make embarrassing noises.

Then that wretched vampire sold me out, and I finally understood what that wretched vampire meant by "a body brimming with energy."

My way of addressing that guy went from "beast," to "animal," to "you bastard," then to "village chief," and finally to "my dear husband."

Now I finally understand why that despicable vampire, who was clearly possessive, dragged me into this mess.

[Damn it, he never gets tired! His body just can't take it! And Shi Yu's original companions are just a bunch of kids, they can't help distract him at all, so I discussed it with that wretched vampire and we decided to find some like-minded companions to join Big Tree Village and share some of the pressure.]

[Those high elves who were obsessed with expanding their race last time were all show and no substance. Even with another group added later, it still didn't work. It seems we still need to find our own kind.]

[By the way, I am from a branch of the angel race. The annihilation of the angel race is a battle race that can reach the 8th rank upon adulthood...]

……

Momonga was currently cautiously exploring deeper into the forest with Albedo, taking small, unsteady steps.

Along the way, he only encountered low-level monsters such as level 2 or 3 killer rabbits or porcupines.

This peaceful scene made the flying squirrel feel somewhat dreadful.

How exactly did those numerous undead spies I sent out sacrifice themselves?

Albedo, looking at the cautious Momonga from behind, asked curiously:

"Lord Momonga, are you on guard against something?"

Startled, the flying squirrel, having triggered forced calm, coughed twice and forced an explanation:

"Albedo, don't be fooled by this apparent peace. I told you before, there's a large group of high-level magical beasts here."

"Just like the checkpoints set up by our guild, they will definitely lower our guard first and then launch a surprise attack from a place we never expected."

Albedo looked at Ainz Ooal Gown with admiration and complimented him:

"I see. As expected of Lord Ainz, one of the 41 Supreme Beings, your wisdom is truly admirable."

"Um...who are you people?"

Suddenly a voice came from directly above them, "Are you of the same race? Huh? The Undead?"

The flying squirrel jolted awake, opening its massive skeletal maw to gaze at the sky above.

At this moment, a curious angel girl was leading three other angel girls holding spears, all looking at him and the cherubim guards behind him with great curiosity.

The leading angel spoke again,

Are you from the Demon King's Castle?

Forced calm activation,

Ainz Ooal Gown's enormous mouth snapped shut instantly.

The flying squirrel raised its head and coughed twice:

“I am… um, Ainz Ooal Gown! I have come here specifically to visit the lord here, hoping to establish a friendly alliance with him.”

"Lord? An alliance? So you really are from the Demon King's Castle?"

Tia looked at Ainz Ooal Gown with some surprise.

"Demon King's Castle..."

The flying squirrel thought for a moment, then nodded:

"That's right, we are indeed from the Demon King's Castle."

Tia frowned. The Death Forest was part of the Demon King's territory. Was this place a place to charge a fee?
