Even Ainz and Albedo were a little nervous when they saw Nigan's performance at this time. There was actually such a foul magic? I don't know if their resistance skills can be immune to it. If it weren't for the fact that resistance skills are ineffective against this magic, then the threat level of the Sword Saint would increase sharply.
And how much strength does the Sword Master still have? Sword skills and magic are all mysterious.
And such a Sword Saint is not even the strongest in this world. There is also the Church suppressing the Sword Saint. This world is so scary, it is really terrifying!
At this time, Tsukasa turned around and said to Ainz, "Then I will take this Negan away. As for the one in your hand, you only need to prepare a living body for him and then slap him in. But you have also heard what Negan said just now. In order to protect the information, they have all been restricted. The restrictions on the body are easy to deal with, but the restrictions that act on the soul level are not so easy to deal with. But you are the legendary Demon King, so I guess there are demons among your subordinates who are good at manipulating souls."
Ainz: "...I am not the Demon King."
Hey! This identity cannot be used as a fake.
This Demon King is obviously the big boss of the world's enemies. If he is given this identity, I'm afraid that everyone in the world will want to destroy Nazarick. This is no joke. This world is so dangerous. Who knows how many people are as strong as the Sword Saint? And there are also world items. If he is pushed as a boss, Nazarick will really be unstoppable. Don't talk nonsense, who is the Demon King? He has a name, called Ainz Ooal Gown!
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. I hope we won't be enemies when we meet again."
“…I also don’t want to see us become enemies, Sword Saint, please rest assured about this.” Ainz Ooal Gown no longer had the majestic aura he had before.
"Also, I'm really not the Demon King."
"...Well, then, Lord Ainz, now that the matter has been resolved, I will take my leave."
Si didn't want to stay here for long, as she felt several strong auras approaching nearby.
Moreover, these auras are similar to those of the Demon King and others.
Those were probably the Demon King’s reinforcements.
At this moment, the Demon King is probably using this joking method to hold her back. It's all because of that Negan who revealed the identity of the Demon King.
, this time she might have aroused the murderous intention of the Demon King.
Tsukasa left quickly with Nigan. Ainz and Albedo were not sure if they could keep them. After all, the Sword Saint's strength was unknown, but at least he was stronger than Albedo. Even if they wanted to stop him, they probably couldn't.
Wait until Si and the others leave.
Several figures appeared nearby.
That is Ainz Ooal Gown's guardian.
One of the demons wearing glasses squinted at the bottle in Ainz's hand.
“You can manipulate the soul so delicately, Ainz-sama. Are you able to do it?”
"There is no such skill in YGGDRASIL."
Ainz meant that he couldn't do it because he only knew the skills in YGGDRASIL.
"Is that so? Is the other party a friend or an enemy?"
“Demiurge, go back and tell everyone in Nazarick that when they encounter the Imperial Swordmaster, they should give in whenever possible and never fight him. Even if they cannot avoid it, they should contact me before making a decision. If they really want to be his enemy, then if there are less than three Guardians, they must flee when they encounter him!”
[Chapter 44: E-Rantel]
Ye Lantier.
The nearest city to the village of Kahn.
Originally, according to Si's idea, she had no intention of coming to this city. She had originally planned to return directly to the empire from the border and leave the kingdom as soon as possible.
But they had no choice but to get supplies, so when the Theocracy's troops attacked Kahn Village, Hanta and Alice came to E-Rantel.
With their two paces, if they went at full speed, they could reach this city from Kahn Village in one day, which was even faster than an ordinary carriage. However, when they arrived here, the incident in Kahn Village had already ended, and the sun was about to set.
Alice looked at Hanta, who was lying on the ground like a drowned dog, covered in sweat, with disdain. She distanced herself from him and avoided his sweaty smell before saying, "I have just contacted the master. The master asked us to replenish supplies in this city and wait for them to come over to meet up."
"Ahem... I got it... Miss Alice... could you, could you... let me take a breath..." Hanta was soaking wet, with sweat all over his face, as if he had just fallen into the lake. His face was pale as if he would die at any moment, and he pleaded with Alice weakly, "Let me rest for a while... and then we can act again."
I couldn't walk anymore, not even a single step, and I didn't even have the strength to stand up.
Hanta had never thought that a journey that normally takes three days would be forced to be completed within three hours. Even if the adventurer's physical strength is stronger than that of ordinary people, he cannot endure such consumption. However, every time he was about to lose heart, he saw Miss Alice's calm expression. Although Miss Alice didn't say anything, he always felt that he looked incompetent.
But now that bit of manly self-esteem has long gone to who knows where.
Because compared to him, Miss Alice not only didn't complain of being tired, but she didn't even have a drop of sweat on her body. And after running all the way, there wasn't even a stain on her maid's uniform that was not convenient for movement. How arrogant was he before to think that he could not hold Miss Alice back?
Alice felt Hanta's life characteristics and did not speak, but stood nearby waiting for Hanta to recover. The guards of Ye Lantier saw the performance of the two adventurers, but did not say anything, because they saw the two adventurers running over from the top of the city wall. And the man's appearance was exactly the performance of being exhausted.
Alice also had the badge of a Mithril Adventurer. Although Alice's strength was more than enough to become an Adamantium-level Adventurer, Alice had no achievements or reputation in the guild after all, and even the guild leader was reluctant to give her a higher level. However, the identity of a Mithril Adventurer was enough, at least she could freely enter and exit cities in various countries, unless she encountered a place with special rules.
Hanta gritted his teeth and took out a small bottle of healing potion from the travel bag on his waist. Although using potions to restore physical strength was simply an inhumane act, he didn't dare to let Alice wait for him too long. He also knew that if he waited for his body to recover naturally in his current state, it would take at least half a day. As for the value of the potion? Fortunately, the guildmaster paid for the entire trip this time, otherwise Hanta might not be willing to waste it.
After drinking the healing potion, Hanta could clearly feel his body regaining vitality.
Although fatigue cannot be eliminated, physical strength has indeed been restored to a certain extent.
"Phew...I'm well rested."
"Well, let's go into the city."
Alice didn't say much. She didn't care about Hanta's feelings towards her.
Although she looks like a human, she is actually a doll. Her body is made of various materials. Even though she looks the same as a human due to the magic of alchemy, she is different in nature. The most obvious point is that Alice cannot get pregnant. Although Tsukasa did install all the organs in her, she does not have that function. And she does not have the physical strength.
Limitation, basically as long as there is magic power, it can continue to run, and Alice itself has the function of automatically absorbing magic power. It is natural that Hanta's physical strength is not as good as Alice's, he doesn't know what he is comparing with.
E-Rantel is a border city.
However, the place was not as heavily guarded as imagined. Alice and Hanta were able to enter without any hindrance after submitting their adventurer identification certificates.
Although the kingdom had intended to stop them in the capital before, after they left the royal city, the nobles and the king did not issue a wanted order for them. However, Hanta was not surprised at all. Regardless of whether the kingdom's soldiers could capture them, if the kingdom really dared to do such a thing, he guaranteed that the empire would take real action the next day.
It is possible for the emperor to lead the army in person, because the Sword Saint has such a high status. The Sword Saint of the Empire is equivalent to the face of the Empire. How can the kingdom have the courage to arrest the Sword Saint?
You must know that the situation between the Kingdom and the Empire is now very clear. It is not that the Empire cannot conquer the Kingdom, but that the Empire does not want to do so.
The Blood Emperor deliberately used this method to consume the strength of the kingdom's nobles. He probably wanted to conquer the kingdom and slaughter the kingdom's nobles without any effort. Also, the kingdom's warrior leader is really strong. If the Sword Master does not go into battle, it will be difficult for the Empire to deal with this warrior leader. However, the Empire's victory is basically doomed, and the kingdom's demise is only a matter of time.
Those nobles always have to consider their future retreat. Whether the kingdom is destroyed or not will not affect them too much. They can still join the empire. So even if the old king wants to put the sword master on the wanted list, these nobles will be the first to not allow it. What these nobles do is very contradictory. If they have the chance, they definitely don't mind killing the sword master, but if anyone wants to put the sword master on the wanted list, they will definitely stop it. In short, they want the kingdom to defeat the empire, but they are also considering how to join the empire after the kingdom is defeated.
The two came to the Adventurer's Guild.
After revealing his identity, Hanta used the guild's authority to make connections with nearby businesses and purchased a lot of the best food and dry materials without hesitation. Anyway, this expense would be reimbursed by the president. According to the hint the president had given him before, he should spend as much as possible where there was no need to save money. In short, he just wanted to serve the Sword Saint and the others well, and money was not a problem.
Anyway, the black card given to him by the president has never encountered a spending limit. God knows how rich the president is.
Chapter 45: Transition
Tsukasa came to E-Rantel to meet up with Alice and the others, but Nigan separated from Tsukasa at the city gate.
At this time, Negan has changed his original clothes. His temperament is different from the past. Even familiar people will not recognize him immediately after changing his clothes and hairstyle. Next, he will act alone to test the movements of the Church, because after knowing the secret of the so-called Astraea family, Si knows that the Church will not let him go easily next time. And from Negan's mouth, she finally knew why the Church suddenly started to act this time.
Although she didn't think that a small figure like Negan could know the entire plan of the Theocracy, the information Negan knew should be true, which also made her more aware of the current world situation.
Although the Silian Theocracy was strong, it didn't seem as invincible as she had initially thought.
According to the information obtained from Nigan, the basic combat power of the Silan Theocracy is not actually higher than that of the Empire. After all, the upper limit of human potential is there, and it is not so easy to break through. However, the Theocracy has the bloodline of the six gods, and those guys called gods have indeed broken through the limits of humans and entered the realm of heroes. However, the strength of gods is also extremely limited. According to Nigan, from the information he knows, the only god who can fight against Ainz Ooal Gown is actually a monster in the Theocracy.
Even the Black Codex, the Theocracy's strongest force, would probably not be a match for Ainz Ooal Gown if that monster wasn't among them.
Because the monster's bloodline was extremely abnormal, its mother was a hybrid of the descendant of the Six Gods and the Sword Saint, and later her mother combined with the Elf King to give birth to the monster.
That monster perfectly inherited the power of these bloodlines. Protection, magic, swordsmanship, all reached an immeasurable level, and his strength was even above that of the Dragon King. He was the strongest guardian of the Church.
As for who is stronger, the monster from the Church or Ainz Ooal Gown, Nigan's strength is too low to analyze, and Nigan has not seen the full strength of the monster from the Church and Ainz Ooal Gown. However, Nigan also told Tsukasa with certainty that the bloodline of the monster is definitely not as good as the master's.
Because the monster only has one protection, and it only improves martial arts talent. As for magic, Nigan doesn't think there is a magic caster stronger than the master in this world. Because the magic mastered by the master far exceeds the magic system of this world, and the elves in this world are indeed real elves, but they are still not comparable to the conceptual level of fairies like Eidol.
Negan said with certainty that the master's strength was definitely far beyond that of the half-blood from the Theocracy, and the only difference might be just the problem of equipment.
He said confidently that he would find a way to get the real thing from the Church.
Artifact, then the master will not be inferior to the Church in this respect. Although Si was not optimistic about Nigan's decision, she did not care about the life and death of a cheap familiar, so she let Nigan do it. Now Nigan is stronger than before and has stepped into the realm of so-called heroes.
Although Shadow Demon cannot grow when he is first summoned, he can break this limitation once he successfully possesses another body. However, even if he can grow, he will be limited by the talent of the body he possesses. Nigan can only break through to the hero level at best, and he is at the bottom of the list, because the talent of this body is not high.
"A tool that can change the world."
Negan only knew that the Theocracy possessed one such true artifact, but even Negan himself did not think that the Theocracy only had this one true artifact.
The effect of this true artifact is to force enslavement of any target. Although the essential effect is charm, the effect of the artifact itself allows the wearer to control the charmed object. The Church even thought of using this artifact to control the Dragon King, which is enough to show how powerful this item is. However, because it has not been actually used on the Dragon King, Si is still skeptical about the power of this item. However, her follower Nigan is indeed full of confidence in this, and even said that only the master is worthy of that item. If it is the charm of the master himself plus the charm of the item, let alone the Dragon King, even the true God can be charmed. However, Shadow Fiend's attitude towards his master is a brainless dog licker, so it's okay to listen to such words, but Si can never take such words seriously.
And she really didn't think Negan had a way to get that item. It should be mentioned that the Theocracy seemed to call all aliens above the Demon King "Dragon Kings". As for what the Theocracy was thinking, Si said she was too lazy to guess. Anyway, if the Theocracy wanted to make trouble with the Dragon King, it was the Theocracy's own business, and she didn't want to cause trouble in this world. This world was not in danger of extinction, and no one was forcing her to move forward. She just wanted to calm down and practice well and enjoy herself. What Dragon King, Theocracy, Demon King, etc., just let them fight on their own, just don't involve her.
But obviously, she also knew that this was impossible to achieve. Even if she did nothing, her existence itself was a threat in the eyes of many people.
The Astraea family knew that they were no match for the Theocracy, so the first emperor made the Astraea family establish such a family precept. Never interfere in the disputes between human races, even if the empire is in trouble, they can only take action when the empire is in danger of life and death. All of this was done for the Slaine Theocracy to see. The emperor used this method to show the Theocracy that they had not thought of using the power of the Sword Master to threaten the core position of the Theocracy. But what happened later was enough to show that the Theocracy did not trust the sincerity of the emperor, and they still took action against the Astraea family.
If he didn't want to fall out with the empire.
The Church probably wants to wipe out the bloodline of the Astraea family. And they actually did so. Now there are only two bloodlines left in the Astraea family in this world. One of them is the guardian of their Church, and the rest is Si. If Miss Astraea had not shown any talent before, I am afraid there would be some accidents.
So Si understood very well.
I can't stay out of it.
The Theocracy is her enemy.
Definitely.
"Equipment. I wonder if I can find suitable materials in the empire's treasury. If I go back and ask the emperor for it, I think he will refuse, right?"
Si pinched her brows with a headache. Although she knew alchemy magic, it was not so easy to use alchemy to make equipment. There were other skills in this area. Alchemy magic was more used to make props and enchantments. She lacked forging skills.
[Chapter 46: Death and Fate]
In the meeting of the Church.
An unbelievable voice came:
"Just one person, just one person destroyed the troops led by Nigan Gulide Luin? Nigan Gulide Luin possesses the magic-sealing crystal that can summon the Archangel of Glorious Light. Could it be that the magic chanter is a being comparable to my God?!"
"I didn't expect that the one summoned this time would be of this level. It seems that we need to customize our countermeasures. It is not appropriate to have a dispute with this person at this time. Our biggest enemy is still the alien race."
"Will he affect our plan?"
Everyone was discussing important matters at the meeting, and in a corner, the sound of twisting a Rubik's Cube was heard.
The one playing with the Rubik's Cube is a woman with black and white eyes. She looks like a young girl, but in fact she is older than everyone present. She has broken the upper limit of human beings and possesses strength and lifespan far beyond that of humans. She is a real monster and is regarded as a true inheritor of the bloodline of the six gods.
"Ainz Ooal Gown, what a scary man."
"I heard that the Empire's Sword Master was also present at the time. How should we deal with this girl?"
"This generation of Sword Saint has the strength of a Dragon King. Unless we use the Black Sacred Scripture and the True Divine Artifact, we may not be able to defeat him. This matter needs to be carefully considered."
"Seconded."
"Seconded."
"Seconded."
finally.
The meeting ended with the original plan being maintained.
Both Ainz Ooal Gown and Si Astraea were beyond their control, not to mention that they were planning to control the Dragon King.
The kings were slaughtering each other and conquering the foreign countries led by the Dragon King. In the face of such a great cause, the summoned Ainz Ooal Gown and the Imperial Sword Master were not enough to make them give up their previous preparations.
The woman with strange eyes walked out of the conference room, looking like she didn't care about anything, but in fact she had already memorized the names of these two people in her heart. She longed to face the strong, and even more longed for the strong who could conquer her. The reason was simple, because she wanted to complete her mission as a mother and give birth to a stronger next generation, just like her grandmother and mother had done. As for the other party's gender and race, they were irrelevant. There would always be props or superpowers that could solve such small problems. The key thing was whether the other party was stronger than her.
This woman is the guardian of the Church, an extra-special member of the Black Scripture, and her number is [Absolute Death and Life]. Because her existence is extremely powerful, once the surrounding countries know about it, it will definitely cause great unrest, so the Church has always hidden this weapon.
After all, once what the Church has done is exposed, it will definitely cause condemnation from all countries.
They have been using various methods to obtain powerful bloodlines, including not only marriages but also kidnapping and other vile means. Even a certain generation of sword masters from the Astraea family were once captured by them and used as studs. And Juesijieming's mother broke a taboo that must not be broken! Because of the strength of her bloodline, she could not find a suitable match among humans, so Juesijieming's mother planned a defeat herself and degenerated into the womb of the Elf King. In the end, she used the power of the Church to successfully escape from the Elf King's hands with Juesijieming, who was still in the womb, and finally successfully gave birth to the monster Juesijieming.
Although Juesi Jueming is the strongest guardian of the Church, her existence is a taboo that cannot be exposed to the Church. Because her half-elf mixed blood characteristics are a mockery of the Church's persistence over the years. When they were fighting against aliens, the strongest guardian was actually half alien, which was a great shame for the Church! Therefore, although Juesi Jueming has a supreme position in the Church, the top leaders of the Church regard her as a "monster that should not be born". If it weren't for the power shown by Juesi Jueming that made the Church reluctant to give up, I'm afraid the Church would have killed her as a heretic long ago.
Because of Juesijieming's special identity, he has been trapped in the barrier of the Church since his birth. But not everyone is unaware of Juesijieming's existence. At least the Dragon King who rules the country knows about Juesijieming's existence, and they have a tacit understanding. If Juesijieming takes action, most alien races will not be able to stop the invasion of humans, and the existence of the Dragon King is the same for humans, so both sides agreed not to take action. However, the Church predicted that the Destruction Dragon King who brought natural disasters would be resurrected soon. Originally, the Church should be prepared to destroy the Dragon King, but this time the Church made a different decision.
They decided to use one of the true artifacts, [The Allure of the Country], to control the dragon king. What exactly they were planning to do was self-evident, that is, the Church still wanted to conquer foreign races.
It was precisely because of the importance of this matter that even though the summoned Ainz Ooal Gown destroyed one of the six colored armies of the Theocracy and the Sword Saint showed enough power to threaten them, they temporarily ignored the two. Perhaps they were still thinking that once they controlled the Dragon King of Destruction, then the Platinum Dragon King, Ainz Ooal Gown, and the Imperial Sword Saint would all be on the same plate and they could do whatever they wanted with them.
But the Theocracy does not know yet that their former Minister of the Sunshine Scripture is now establishing a new sect and is calculating how to disrupt their plans and present the true artifact to his master.
In a certain mountain village within the kingdom, Nigan Gulide Luin, dressed in a black priest costume and exuding madness, opened the cage that held the slaves.
As he walked along, all the bandits and mercenaries suddenly turned into pillars of fire and evaporated the moment they approached him, with a scorching magical power emanating from his body.
He opened the cage, ignored the gratitude of the slaves around him, and went straight to the deepest part.
There were several zombies who had been tortured to the point of losing their will to live. There was no light in the eyes of these slaves, and their hollow eyes looked as if they were already dead. But Negan laughed wildly at them, and the slaves outside looked at their benefactor's crazy behavior in confusion, and some slaves even stayed away from the crazy priest out of fear.
"Wake up, followers of the Dusk. You have already received the gospel of the end of the world. Be grateful. From now on, you are like me, followers of the Dusk Goddess, and you are the ones who judge and end this world."
Negan muttered a bunch of random prayers, and then secretly used brainwashing to instill his loyalty to his master into the hearts of these slaves. These slaves had already given up hope, so the brainwashing was naturally very smooth, and the so-called "gospel" was not false.
