Reincarnated in another world, I also want to be invincible at the beginning

Since he had angered the Sword Master, his own sacrifice would not matter, but if he attracted such a powerful enemy to Nazarick, he felt that even if he died ten thousand times, it would not be enough to atone for his sins.

"It's time to party."

"Next Mon."

After getting the information he wanted, Si did not stay any longer and left the hotel with Alice.

She was afraid that if she stayed there, she would not be able to resist attacking Ainz Ooal Gown and his group. Because their intelligence gathering ability was a huge threat to her. When Negan first formed the Goddess Cult, he did not hide his identity. Although no outsiders had ever seen the Archbishop Negan, the only person who knew some clues, the Chief of the Black Scripture was also killed by Negan. Negan even dealt with the chief's body, so it was impossible for him to be resurrected and leak the secret. But who can guarantee that Ainz Ooal Gown and his group will not find out the truth of this matter?

If she had not been absolutely sure that she could kill Ainz Ooal Gown and the other two instantly without alerting anyone, she would have done it just now.

[Chapter 70: The Sword of Hope and Dawn]

The news that the Sword Master had arrived in the capital quickly became news in the city. Ordinary people and adventurers alike were all curious about the Sword Master.

His first achievement upon debut was defeating the Demon King, and later he easily defeated the Warrior Captain of the Kingdom. Then when he appeared again, he came as an unparalleled reinforcement to help the Kingdom deal with the powerful enemy, the Goddess Cult.

His achievements after that were very terrifying. He destroyed nearly 5 strongholds of the Goddess Cult and more than bishops of the Goddess Cult. Later, he was ambushed by three bishops and destroyed an angel far more powerful than the Devil with one sword, completing the feat of killing the gods. Such a living legend naturally attracted the curiosity and admiration of many people.

However, this sword master had cast a barrier to avoid people. Even if one had a strong will to visit the sword master, in the end one could not reach the sword master's resting place.

Obviously, it was not a strange place, but since the Sword Saint moved in, many people could not get close to it. Even if some people did not notice that it was the Sword Saint's residence, after spending money there, when they were reminded of this, they could not go back to that place like everyone else. Finally, a magician found the reason and told everyone that it was the magic set by the Sword Saint, and everyone finally gave up the idea of ​​"chasing stars".

There are some people who refuse to give up, but as long as they hold on to this idea, they will never be able to break through this technique and meet the sword master they want to meet.

After Si and Alice hid in the inn and did not go out, Hanta, who was allowed to move freely, recently spent every day in a busy adventurer tavern, telling those "star chasers" about his experiences in the past few months. Although he always likes to add drama to himself, everyone finally got to hear the true story of the sword master, so they didn't care about this guy's bragging.

"At that time, the three bishops of the Goddess Cult set up a closed barrier to trap the entire city. They also sacrificed the lives of thousands of people to summon the legendary archangel. The archangel was extremely holy. As soon as he appeared, the entire space seemed to be purified. The air became extremely fresh. Just by bathing in the holy light of the archangel, all illnesses seemed to disappear."

"But the Archangel of Judgment is an angel of destruction after all. Even his holy appearance cannot conceal his inner evil. Although the holy light can heal all diseases, it can also silently wipe out our lives. Fortunately, I reacted in time and shouted for everyone to hide in the house quickly, otherwise everyone who was illuminated by the holy light would have died in vain."

"Of course, it was also thanks to Miss Alice's barrier magic that we were able to hold on and witness that earth-shattering battle in the house."

"The Archangel sent down a shower of meteors. When everyone saw the meteor shower in the sky, they all thought that the end of the world was coming and they didn't think they could survive. But at that moment, the Sword Saint appeared. His sword split the boundary between heaven and earth. It was so powerful that I couldn't understand it at all.

With a deafening sound, he killed the meteor shower and the Archangel of Judgment together. If that hadn't happened before my eyes, I wouldn't have believed that there was a swordsmanship in this world that could reach that level."

Hanta's eloquence was terrible, and he liked to bring up other people's opinions, but everyone listened with great interest.

Because when the Archangel of Judgment descended, an extremely spectacular vision appeared in the sky of the entire kingdom. The meteor shower that Hanta mentioned was seen by everyone at that time. The meteors were so dense that they looked like rain, falling in one direction. It should have been daytime at that time, but the dense meteors blocked the sunlight, making the whole world seem to be in darkness. Only the burning track in the sky seemed to announce the coming of the end of the world. But at that moment, a sword light cut through the sky, and the sky seemed to be divided into two, one half was night and the other half was dawn. Then the night passed and the world welcomed the dawn again.

At this time, combined with the story told by Hanta, everyone imagined the scene in their own minds.

The whole city was shrouded in the holy light of angels, and there were countless meteorites and fire rain in the sky. People hid in their houses in despair, praying for the appearance of the savior.

Then the Sword Saint appeared, slashed the night with a sword, and saved the people from the terrifying gods and demons. Although as a story, the protagonist Sword Saint is too strong, making the story seem anticlimactic. But this is not a story, but a fact witnessed by everyone in the kingdom.

"Okay! But Mr. Hanta, although the Sword Saint is indeed very powerful. But you seem to have not done anything outstanding except running errands. You took action several times, but you were only able to deal with some low-level members. How can you say that you are one of the protagonists in this story?"

"Why can't I be the protagonist? Although I am weak, I have become stronger under the guidance of the Sword Saint along the way. Look at those heroic legends. Aren't they all weak little heroes who become stronger under the guidance of various heroes and finally become real heroes? In this team, the Sword Saint is undoubtedly the hero among heroes, and Miss Alice is naturally a hero as well. Then I must be the little hero in this team, so why can't I be one of the protagonists in the story?"

"May I ask how old you are?"

"Get lost, I'm 34 this year, so what!"

Hanta threw the bottle of wine out.

The man caught it with a smile.

"Thanks."

"I'm telling you, don't underestimate me because of my age. You should know that I'm still in the growth stage and my strength can continue to improve!"

"Yes, yes, you are always a little hero."

There was laughter in the pub.

Although they said they believed it, few people thought Hanta was serious. After all, he was still at the Mithril level at the age of 34, which meant that Hanta's talent was probably limited to this level. Moreover, even with the guidance of the Sword Saint, he only mastered a martial art that consumed a lot of energy, and his own realm did not improve much. This was enough to explain the problem.

"Sooner or later, I'll let you know the name of 'Iron Front'!" Hanta shouted, and then raised his glass, big and small, "No more words, cheers to the Sword Saint!"

Although Hanta only did it because he couldn't help showing off, a bard soon adapted his story, and a poem about the Sword Master began to circulate. In the story, an evil angel came with the night, and mankind's hope awakened the power of the Sword Master. The holy sword symbolizing hope cut through the endless darkness and saved the world.

[Chapter 71: Eight Fingers]

Eight Finger Conference.

Because there have been many traitors recently, and even the organization has been quietly invaded by the Goddess Cult, when the cadres were unaware, more than half of the grassroots had joined the emerging Goddess Cult. In order to stop the invasion of the Goddess Cult, the cadres of the Eight Fingers unanimously decided to meet in the capital, so this meeting took place. In the underground square of the abandoned alchemy factory, the evil villains appeared from the darkness one by one, and there was no need for words to explain, their bad looks could be seen from their faces.

The surroundings were pitch dark. The magic stone on the round table emitted a faint cold light. Officers dressed in strange styles or wearing cloaks to conceal their identities sat around the round table. With the arrival of everyone, the meeting held by the largest underground criminal group in the kingdom began.

The theme of this conference is -

How to get rid of the invasion of the Goddess Cult into the organization.

"Everyone is here, let's begin." The man in the purple cloak in the center spoke first. Judging from the position he was sitting in, his status in the Eight Fingers organization, where each department operates independently, was above everyone else, and he was most likely the leader of the organization.

"We have suffered huge losses recently because of the chaos caused by the Goddess Cult. The sale of poisonous weeds has been greatly restricted. Unlike normal wars, this sect prefers to engage in meaningless acts such as massacres. The decline in population has greatly affected the sales of poisonous weeds in various places. Moreover, people who have been brainwashed by the Goddess Cult will break free from the control of the poisonous weeds. Members of the Goddess Cult have no need to buy poisonous weeds. If we allow them to continue to expand, this part of our industry will suffer great losses." After he said that, he looked at the woman opposite him, who was the director of this department.

"That's right, and the kingdom's army has recently increased its strength.

Several vegetable fields were sealed by those guys. It was obviously caused by the Goddess Cult, but now everyone suspects that there is a cooperative relationship between the Goddess Cult and us Eight Fingers. If they can't deal with the Goddess Cult, they will come to deal with us. "The woman said harshly.

"We also suffered great losses in the slave trade. I don't know how the Goddess Cult brainwashed our people and infiltrated the organization. They used their magic called [Gospel] to transform most of the commodities into dangerous believers. Some of them continued to infiltrate various parts of the kingdom as commodities, causing many problems. Now many customers have complained to us, and the kingdom is also focusing on cracking down on this kind of trade. Even the nobles have begun to oppose this business. Compared with the so-called venting of desires, they are more afraid that the Goddess Cult will disguise itself as commodities and infiltrate them."

"Those are the most vicious demons I have ever seen. They can endure all kinds of physical and mental torture. They are just death warriors who act to complete their goals and do not value their own lives at all. Moreover, once these demons die, they will self-destruct, causing great damage to the remaining goods. Some customers are also affected. This is a very big problem. Some nobles who originally cooperated with us have now given up their relationship with us. In addition, judging from the frequency of the Kingdom Self-Defense Force's activities recently, they seem to really believe that we are in the same group as that group of guys, and they look like they want to destroy us." The Minister of the Slave Trade Department said in great distress.

The two departments that made the most money from Eight Fingers were hit hard at the moment, and it became extremely difficult for them to continue to operate. The problems of these two departments were mentioned first because they were the most important.

You have to know that the primary reason why this group of people gathered together was for profit, and now the greatest interest has been violated. The remaining departments have also been affected to varying degrees, but they are not as important as these two departments.

But this is not a solution. If the Goddess Cult continues to do this, they will definitely be targeted by the kingdom. The connections they had established before have basically been ruined by this series of events, and they also have to consider the pressure from the Goddess Cult. The Goddess Cult and them are not partners at all, and are even enemies. However, the masters who are currently hunting down the Goddess Cult may not be able to see this clearly. At that time, they are likely to be regarded as part of the Goddess Cult, and regarded as enemies by the legendary swordsman and the adventurer Black Hero.

"Tsk, but even if we get together, we can't think of any good solution. If there really is a way to solve this problem, we would have started to act long ago. Now people outside won't believe us. Inside, except for us and our respective trusted troops, the positions below are more or less eroded by the Goddess Cult. And you have seen the strength of the members of the Goddess Cult. Even the most ordinary members of the cult have the spellcasting ability of high-level adventurers, and they are not afraid of death. Each of them is a bomber who will self-destruct if they lose. How do you think we should fight such an opponent!"

"If you ask me, it would be better for us to disband. Now that our identities have not been completely exposed and the Kingdom's judicial organs have not yet grasped our key props, everyone should go back and enjoy life. The teachings of those crazy people in the Goddess Church are so crazy that they may summon a demon that can destroy the world at any time. While we are still alive, don't think about anything else. It is most practical to use the money we have earned before to enjoy the rest of our lives."

"Although I don't agree with your depraved ideas, I have to say that what you said is not without reason. The group of lunatics in the Goddess Church are simply not something we can deal with on our own. Among the people who are currently hunting down the Goddess Church, there are the Dark Scriptures of the Church, the Sword Masters of the Empire, as well as ancient heroes and vampire progenitors. With such a lineup, it's not that we don't have the guts, but that we are really not qualified to deal with these people. We don't have any better solution now except to disband."

The ministers of several departments were very pessimistic. It was no wonder they were like that. They really couldn't see any hope at all. There was no possibility of counterattack at the moment. The strength of the Goddess Cult made them dare not even consider this aspect. The scale gap was too big.

"It's fine if we disband, but I suffered a huge loss this time. How are you going to compensate me for this loss?"

"Hehe, why? Everyone's business has been hit, why do you want compensation?"

"Stop talking so much nonsense. If you want to disband, then disband. But the wealth in the organization still needs to be divided up. Our security department has been working hard for you for so many years. Since you want to disband, then we must at least take half of the organization's wealth!"

"You must be kidding! No way!"

[Chapter 72: Reasoning]

The purple-cloaked cadre who was leading the group saw the quarreling cadres and shook his head in a state of annoyance. They had wanted to discuss how to save the organization at the beginning, but these guys really had no moral principles. They had been thinking about how to disband the organization since they came here, and now they were quarreling over the division of the organization. Since Eight Fingers' situation was no longer hopeless, there was no point for him to stay here, so he said, "Since everyone has decided to disband, then let's disband. I don't want the profits of the organization, so don't worry about my share."

"You are indeed the most mysterious guy, but since you don't want profit, then the big guys will

You're welcome. I hope you don't do anything stupid and think you'll kill us to silence us when you're done with us."

The other cadres looked at this mysterious cadre with great caution, because most of the people in the Eight Fingers were either mercenaries or criminals, some of the merchants were also smugglers, and the nobles were just the kind that had bad rumors about them, but this guy who could bring them together was undoubtedly a big shot.

Even though their identities were hidden, they were not fools. Now that the organization was going to be disbanded, it was impossible for Xin to be killed to silence him. The only way for everyone to deal with this mysterious guy was to unite. Even though they were arguing over interests, they were united on this matter. Of course, there were cadres who chose to stand on the side of this mysterious cadre in the past, but that was when the organization still existed. Now that the organization was going to be disbanded, everyone, unless they were mentally ill, would be on guard against this mysterious cadre taking action against their colleagues.

"You're worrying too much. There's no need for me to go to that extent. Compared to me, you should worry more about how to whitewash your identities. You should know that the identities of many of you are no secret. Even if the organization is disbanded, do you think those guys chasing the Goddess Cult will be able to find you?"

The mysterious cadre stood up and wanted to leave.

There is no need to talk further.

The meeting continues.

But the content of the conversation changed.

The style of the painting changed from a dark one to a fight in a vegetable market.

Every cadre wanted to make a fortune from the organization in the end. At this time, they should have prioritized disbanding the organization and clearing their identities, but they felt that it was nothing to waste a day's time.

Besides, this is not a waste. You know, they will have to pay a huge price to whitewash themselves. Although they have been doing Poly business before, they are also extravagant in spending money. Although they have saved a lot, they may not be able to find such a lucrative job for a long time, so they will get as much as they can in the end.

And inside.

The security department has the loudest voice.

The tone is also the craziest.

If they want it, they want half!

However, all the major departments are unable to do anything about the security department. After all, the security department is the strongest fighting department in the organization, and it also contains top-notch professionals like Six Arms. If a fight really breaks out here, the security department's force will be able to defeat all the other departments, so no one dares to compete with the security department.

……

On the day when the Eight Finger Conference was held.

Ainz Ooal Gown brought three guardians and the Imperial Sword Master to the abandoned factory of Eight Fingers. They did not rush in immediately, but set up many restrictions around it in advance, making sure that no one could escape. Only then did they enter the abandoned factory, intending to capture all the senior executives of Eight Fingers in one fell swoop.

But before going in.

Demiurge shared the information in advance.

"Eight Fingers means the God of Thieves. According to legend, the God of Thieves, a subordinate of the Earth God, has only eight fingers. The God of Thieves also means a god who engages in dark industries to make money. This shows the original intention of establishing this organization. They are a group of criminals who engage in illegal transactions for profit. However, according to my investigation, this organization has a deep connection with the noble faction of this country. The nominal leader of Eight Fingers is also a very important figure in the noble faction."

Si asked casually:

"What is the relationship between Eight Fingers and the Goddess Cult?"

"At present, the relationship between Eight Fingers and the Goddess Church should be a subordinate relationship. On the surface, Eight Fingers seems to be the one hiding in the dark, but judging from the scope of the Goddess Church's activities, perhaps the Goddess Church initially used the nobles of this country to establish the Eight Fingers organization in order to conceal their tracks. At first, they pretended to be just black businessmen, but in fact, they were secretly plotting how to conduct large-scale sacrifices. Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why they could cause such destruction just after they appeared in the world."

Demiurge's guess was well-founded.

Because under normal circumstances, if the Goddess Cult had just been established, it would not have been possible to spread to various regions in a short period of time, and when it broke out, it destroyed two or three cities in a short period of time. You must know that even the invasion of the Empire could not cause such great damage to the Kingdom at once. This could not be a sudden terrorist attack, but a premeditated action.

If you think about it normally, of course it is true. But Demiurge doesn't know how terrible the brainwashing of the Gospel is, nor does he know how much the Gospel adds to the Goddess Church. A magic organization that doesn't need to worry about unity and loyalty, and will become stronger and stronger, can do too many impossible things. Demiurge thought about the Goddess Church according to normal logic, and it was destined to be impossible to find the right answer.

"I see."

Si nodded.

It means that what you said makes sense.

Demiurge continued to explain: "The Eight Fingers cadres are not worthy of our attention. In fact, most of them are just businessmen and nobles. In my opinion, they are just puppets placed on the surface by the Goddess Cult. What really deserves our attention is a department called Six Arms."

"This department is called the Security Department within the Eight Fingers. Its main job is to be a bodyguard.

The strongest armed department. The name Six Arms comes from the six strongest warriors in this department. It is said that there are martial arts geniuses, the king of the undead, and swordsmen who have mastered the unique skill of space slash. I think they should all be cadres of the Goddess Church. "

Tsukasa looked at Demiurge in confusion.

The information she got from the Adventurer's Guild did not say this, and she remembered that there was no six-armed member on the list of the Goddess Cult, which meant that Ainz Ooal Gown's subordinate had made a wrong investigation.

But she did not correct him. She just finally understood why Ainz Ooal Gown invited her. It turned out to be because of this reason. It was probably because the destruction caused by the Goddess Cult was too great, and the six-armed guys all had a very resounding title, so the Demon King was scared. It seems that their intelligence department is indeed extremely powerful, but it seems to be behind the times. The things they investigated are half-true and half-false, and the authenticity cannot be guaranteed.

If she hadn't known the truth about the Goddess Cult and obtained information about the Eight Fingers through the power of the union, she would probably have been persuaded by Demiurge.

After all, there was nothing wrong with his reasoning.

[Chapter 73: Perfect Infiltration]

"The defense is indeed very tight."

Ainz looked at the mercenaries who had spotted them the first time, and made a sound that was either a sigh or a helpless one. He then ordered Demiurge and Sebastian in front of him, "Get rid of them all. There is no need to show mercy to anyone except the leader. Get rid of them quickly."

"Yes, Master."

“Understood, Master Ainz.”

Demiurge bent down slightly, and the next moment his figure disappeared as fast as a ghost. The crowd on the opposite side was instantly torn apart by a gust of wind. The demon was killing in an extremely bloody yet elegant manner, waving his sharp claws like dancing in the blood rain and tearing apart all the objects in sight. The fighting power displayed by him alone was enough to destroy the defense of this place. Behind him was an "old man" dressed as a butler. This butler named Sebastian was a martial artist with very refined martial arts. Even without using martial arts, he showed inhuman fighting power. Every punch and kick showed the demeanor of a martial arts master. Every enemy who was touched by his fists and feet was immediately hit by the terrifying internal energy, and the bones all over the body collapsed instantly. It was an extremely clean and neat killing method.

Just the blink of an eye.

The security guards at the entrance were wiped out, not even a single one was left alive. Wherever Demiurge passed, there were only torn flesh and organs, and wherever Sebastian passed, there were only corpses killed by one blow. Although they used different methods, both of them completed Ainz Ooal Gown's orders perfectly, and quickly and cleanly eliminated the security guards at the door. No one was allowed to leave alive, and not even much noise was made. At this time, the people inside did not know that the security guards outside had been slaughtered.

Demigod and Sebastian stood on one side, like ministers welcoming the king. Their king, Ainz Ooal Gown, stepped forward and led the troops into the underground of the abandoned factory. The underground area was unexpectedly wide. This was probably not designed like this from the beginning of the factory, but this underground square was dug out later. According to the magic skill of searching for the enemy, the position and number of the enemy were all exposed to Ainz Ooal Gown and others, without a trace of secret. The next thing was very simple. Although it was an infiltration, as long as they killed all the guards who saw them along the way, and if they advanced fast enough, they would have infiltrated the target before their target could react, and they no longer had to worry about the possibility of the target escaping. This was infiltration.

The major cadres were still arguing at the round table meeting. At this time, the cadre who was suspected to be the leader was about to leave with his subordinates. But just as they were heading for the exit, two men dressed in different styles of butlers bumped into them head-on in the corridor. Before the cadre could react, the two men came forward with a terrifying aura like vicious demons. His subordinates were torn to pieces by the demon in the red suit in an instant, and he himself was held down by the shoulders by the gentleman-like old man.

In an instant, the cadre lost his freedom.

Demigos stared at the cadre's face and said with understanding, "This is the founder of Eight Fingers. Don't kill him. According to the information I have investigated, this nobleman is not a professional. It is only because of his power and personal ability that he was able to successfully establish such a gang underground."

"I see, I really can't sense any powerful aura from him." Sebastian reacted the moment he attacked without Demigos' reminder, and used extremely precise force to make the cadre lose the power to resist. With Sebastian's strength that could blow the man's head off with a single flick of his finger, to do such a delicate task required extremely sophisticated martial arts skills, but he controlled the force of his attack in an instant, which showed that he had a very good grasp of his own strength.

Ainz, Tsukasa and others followed the two generals in. The movement here instantly attracted the attention of the round table. The originally dark environment instantly lit up with fire, and torches were lit all around, illuminating every corner of the room.

It turns out that these people also know that they are unable to move around in this dark environment.

The reason why they didn't light the torches to illuminate this place was because some of them wanted to hide their identities. But now that they found someone coming in, they immediately didn't care about so much and lit the torches to ensure their own vision. When they saw the situation at the exit, everyone was surprised.

The man who organized them to gather together and establish the Eight Fingers is now being held in the hands of a butler, and all of that man's subordinates have been killed.

Being able to do this in such a short time was enough to prove how terrifying these invaders were. You have to know that the subordinates of that person were once powerful mercenaries or adventurers, and their strength was not even inferior to that of Six Arms. However, such powerful warriors were killed by these invaders in an instant.
