Looking forward to another world.

Chapter 337 Three Guardians

At noon, the scorching sun was in the sky.

The slightly hot light shone on the somewhat messy forest clearing, forcing the vampire girls in dresses to be exposed to the sun.

The beautiful girl stood under the scorching sun with a dull expression and dull eyes. The scene was enough to make anyone think that the other party had sunstroke.

But in fact, not only did the girl's extremely fair skin not seep out a single drop of sweat, it didn't even turn a little red.

Shalltear just stood there blankly, waiting for the enemy to arrive.

"rustle……"

Not long after, a very subtle but real sound of footsteps came from far and near.

Ainz walked slowly, and slowly appeared in front of Shalltear.

As I said before, Ainz came to find Shalltear to fight one-on-one.

"Is it finally about to start?"

At some point, Li Ge's figure appeared on a small hill in the distance. Looking at Ainz who was slowly approaching Shalltear, he looked like he had been waiting for a long time.

Of course, Li Ge is not the only one who has been waiting here for a long time, there are other existences waiting for his arrival here.

"Okay, don't hide."

Li Ge didn't even look around, and spoke directly.

"Don't you get tired of hiding and surrounding me every time? Come out!"

As soon as the words fell, around Li Ge, several figures appeared one after another after a beat interval.

Those were three existences that looked extremely individual, and could even be said to be extremely individual.

They were located in front, left and right of Li Ge respectively, presenting a triangular shape, surrounding Li Ge.

The one on the left is a cold alien.

It has a height of up to 250 centimeters and a huge body shape. It looks like a walking insect with two legs. Its whole body is light blue like ice. There is a tail twice as long as its height behind it. The whole body is covered with icicles. With sharp spikes and silver halberds in both hands, it looks like some kind of alien creature that came here specifically for killing, and it is very infiltrating.

The one on the right is a demon who once had a relationship with Li Ge.

With an oriental face, he was dressed in an English-style suit and dressed like a gentleman, but exuded an evil aura. Behind him was a tail covered by a silver metal plate, with six spikes growing from the front of the tail. Constantly swaying light black flames, these characteristics all show that he is a real demon, not someone who looks like a demon.

As for the one in front, it is a warrior with obvious graceful feminine features all over his body.

The opponent was wearing a full body armor, the armor was black and covered with spikes, making him look like a demon. The metal glove on his hand had claws, and one of his hands was holding a huge giant that exuded an ominous atmosphere. Axe, told others that although this warrior is female, she is more dangerous than the other two existences to some extent.

No matter how you look at it, these three beings who didn't look like good people appeared in front of Li Ge, staring at him closely, causing an extremely terrifying pressure to fill the air.

Under such pressure, Li Ge still looked normal, but it gave others a strange feeling.

"You really think highly of me."

Li Ge's eyes swept over the insect warrior, the demon gentleman, and the ax-wielding female warrior one after another.

"The guardian of the fourth floor of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick——Cocytus."

"The guardian of the seventh floor of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick—— Demiurge."

"The Chief Guardian of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick---Albedo."

"It's really flattering to send three guardians to my side at once."

Hearing Li Ge's speech, which was completely inconsistent with the plain expression on his face, the three guardians of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick all released murderous aura and hostility.

Obviously, Li Ge's arrival was extremely unwelcome by them.

"Rig Brihaut."

Albedo was the first to speak out.

She looked at Li Ge coldly, as if she might attack at any moment, her every move showed hostility.

"Although this is not my intention, since Mr. Ainz has said that you cannot be rude to you, we will naturally abide by it."

Immediately after Albedo, Demiurge spoke next.

"You can watch the battle here, but for the safety of Lord Ainz, you can only stay here."

Demiurge's tone was very flat, and seemed to be much kinder than Albedo, who had obvious hostility. However, if someone saw the darkness hidden in his eyes, they would know his hostility towards Li Ge. Absolutely no less than Albedo.

The last one to speak was Cocytus.

"From now on, you can't take another step forward."

The worm king exuding a cold air hit the ground heavily with the silver halberd he held tightly in his hand.

Immediately, the ground began to freeze, and the cold air began to spread outward, gradually freezing the entire hill.

"So that's how it is." Li Ge glanced at the small hill that had turned into an iceberg, and said with a nonchalant smile, "That means you were sent to spy on me?"

The three guardians did not speak, as if acquiescing to what Li Ge said.

"I really like to worry about nothing." Li Ge immediately said indifferently: "Don't worry, I'm just here to watch the battle today. I don't have any second purpose other than this. I won't take advantage of the opportunity to do something like you imagined."

"I hope so." Albedo moved her head under the helmet, and said, "Of course, personally, I still hope you do something."

In this case, she has a reason to attack Li Ge.

"If you want, I can satisfy you after watching the battle." Li Ge frowned, looked at Albedo, and said, "How about it? Do you want to try?"

"Please don't..."

"Albedo."

Just when Albedo was about to respond, Demiurge stopped her.

"Don't forget Lord Ainz's order."

Hearing this, Albedo was silent for a while, and then smacked her lips openly.

Seeing this, Li Ge felt bored instead.

"Watch the battle." He said like this: "It's about to start."

Li Ge's words made Albedo and the others involuntarily look in the direction of Ainz and Shalltear.

There, Ainz, who moved in front of Shalltear, had indeed started to take action.

"[Glorious emerald body]."

He chanted magic, and it was the tenth tier of defensive magic as soon as he came up, allowing emerald green brilliance to ooze from his whole body.

[Brilliant Emerald Body], this magic that can reduce the damage of the assault attribute, and even nullify the damage of the assault attribute, has great strategic significance for Ainz, who is a skeleton who is extremely afraid of the attack of the assault attribute.

So, this was the first spell that Ainz cast.

Regarding this, Shalltear still stood there motionless, which made Ainz laugh out loud.

"Sure enough, as long as you don't make obvious aggressive behaviors and keep your distance, the NPC won't enter the combat mode, just like the game!"

"In that case, I'm sorry, Shalltear."

"Before the battle begins, please stay where you are and wait for me there!"

Saying this, Ainz started a series of classic operations.

"[Flying], [Blessing of the Magic Singer], [Infinite Barrier], [Magic Barrier · Sacred], [Essence of Life], [High-level Full Attribute Enhancement], [Freedom], [False Information · Life], [See Through ], [Supernatural Intuition], [High-level Resistance Strengthening], [Cloak of Chaos], [Unyielding], [Induction Boost], [High-level Luck], [Magic Boost], [Dragon Force], [High-level Hardening], [Heavenly Aura], [Absorption], [Penetration Boost], [High-level Magic Shield], [Magic Essence], [Magic Triple Enhancement - Critical Mine], [Magic Triple Transformation - High-level Magic Seal], [Magic Triple Strongest Rank Ascension·Magic Arrow]."

In front of Shalltear, Ainz began to stack buffs for himself grandly, chanting one magic after another, so that the brilliance of magic could not stop appearing on his body.

After covering himself with dozens of layers of magic like this, Ainz opened his hand, allowing a huge dome-shaped three-dimensional magic circle to spread out within a radius of about ten meters around him.

The magic array is complex and gorgeous, layer upon layer, layer upon layer, like an extremely exquisite geometric three-dimensional figure, emitting white light while constantly changing the pattern.

"come yet?"

Seeing this scene, Li Ge was refreshed.

That magic formation is exactly the complex formation that will appear when the player uses super magic.

Ainz used super-level magic directly before the battle started, causing the huge magic circle to expand continuously.

After expanding and changing like this for a while, the light emanating from the magic circle suddenly brightened.

"Super Magic!"

Ainz yelled.

"[The Sky Falls]!"

In the true sense of the word, the strongest level of magic in this world was officially activated amidst Ainz's shout.

"------"

For an instant, the entire forest clearing seemed to be stripped of color.

As if a great sun rose from the center of the open space, everything was dyed white.

The hot gas generated by the ultra-high heat source appeared in a large white area, expanded and exploded, and burned everything around it on the spot.

That scene, as if a beam of light descended from the sky and landed on the ground, made the entire forest tremble.

So, the heat blows away.

Thus, a piece of the earth was planed away.

The doomsday-like scene appeared, causing an unknown number of birds and beasts to be frightened away from the forest.

Soon, the white world gradually disappeared, and the ultra-high temperature also quickly receded.

Until then, the onlookers could see the scene of the earth after being ravaged by the super magic [Sky Fall].

It was a large circle with completely different interior and exterior scenery.

Outside the circle is the forest that has not been affected in any way, is still intact, and has not changed in any way.

Inside the circle is the scorched black earth, as if turning into a crater, emitting billowing heat waves and scorched smoke.

All flora and fauna were burned.

In the scorched earth, apart from the carbonized roots of giant trees, there were several places where crystallization appeared.

"Ahhh-"

In the middle of the scorched earth, an untimely voice suddenly sounded from it.

That was the only bright red figure that could maintain its own existence and its own color in this scorched black world.

"It hurts……"

Finally, Shalltear was no longer standing there motionless, but regained her vitality as if a doll had come to life.

She was smoking all over.

There seemed to be a lot of blood on her body.

However, she withstood the super magic and did not die on the spot.

"It really...it hurts...!"

The vampire girl who wasn't supposed to feel pain screamed and turned her crimson eyes to look at Ainz.

The next moment, Shalltear's body appeared a set of crimson full body armor that seemed to be stained with blood.

It was a set with only one hole in the face, the helmet was like a swan's head, and two bird-like feathers protruded from the left and right. There were wing-shaped decorations hanging from the chest to the shoulders, and the lower body was the whole body of the skirt armor. armor.

This was Shalltear's official weapon.

As the guardian of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, the level [-] NPCs, Shalltear's weapons are all legendary powerful weapons.

Now, Shalltear equipped these weapons, and took out the artifact-level props that had shown up once in the battle with Li Ge —— dropper spear.

This is Shalltear's real posture, the true form of her going all out.

"It's too much, Ainz-sama."

Shalltear said those words in a complaining tone.

"You actually used super-level magic to attack me as soon as you came up. As the ruler of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, one of the Supreme Beings, wouldn't it make people think you are worthless?"

Shalltear actually uttered disrespectful words that she would never say normally, causing all the guardians guarding Li Ge to cast angry glances at her.

Ainz himself didn't care at all.

"Don't say that, Shalltear, it's just a greeting." Ainz said nonchalantly, "I'm also a person who wants to save face. Since I've come to fight in person, I have to guarantee that I won't be defeated in this battle. , otherwise, how can you continue to be your ruler?"

"Do whatever it takes to win? You really deserve to be Ainz-sama!" Shalltear said in admiration or sarcasm, "But, do you really think that you can win me this way?"

Facing Ainz, what Shalltear showed was a kind of confidence to win.

Because, she knew very well that in terms of strength, she was going to surpass Ainz.

Although Ainz was a player, the ruler of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, and the guildmaster of the former "Ainz Ooal Gown", his actual strength was not considered strong among full-level players. It can be regarded as about the upper middle.

Shalltear was almost the strongest guardian in the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick. Even against players, she had a high winning rate.

In a fight against Shalltear, the probability of Ainz losing was actually very high.

Ainz himself knew this very well.

but……

"You have to try everything to know."

Ainz murmured like this, and stretched out his hand to Shalltear.

War is imminent.

　Burning...not retreating...
