Looking forward to another world.

Chapter 378 The Man Who Falls into Darkness
At the northwestern tip of the mainland, the prairie at the junction of the Kingdom of Re-Estij, the Bajas Empire, and the Kingdom of Sleng.

This prairie that Li Ge had visited twice, after more than two months, has become different from before.

Here is no longer an endless flat terrain, but many raised mounds, on which grow the same plants as the low pointed leaves in the grassland. It feels like it has existed here a long time ago. People think that the surrounding area was originally such a terrain.

Naturally, this is not the case.

This terrain was deliberately shaped by the people of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick with the power of magic, in order to cover up the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick that also existed on this grassland.

Because of the existence of these mounds, the originally vast grassland has become a land with countless bunkers, and no buildings can be seen here.

Thanks to this, the cemetery on the surface of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick was surrounded by mounds of earth and hidden within it. Unless one flew in mid-air and looked down, one would not be able to see the existence of that cemetery. of.

Of course, even if one looked down from mid-air, one would not be able to see the cemetery on the surface of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick.

The reason is very simple. An illusion barrier has already been deployed in the sky above here. Unless it is close to a certain level, it is impossible to see the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick that exists here.

Under such heavy cover, perhaps only those belonging to the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick would know what existed here and how to enter their stronghold.

Therefore, when the two figures appeared here at the same time, their identities could be basically confirmed, and they definitely would not be anyone other than the people from the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick.

"Cough cough...!"

Demiurge clutched his bleeding chest, and couldn't help coughing the moment he appeared.

"Are you okay?"

Cocytus supported Demiurge like this. The carapace-like armor on his body was completely destroyed, and his appearance was horrible, but he was still much better than Demiurge.

"It's okay." Demiurge wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said with a gloomy expression, "It seems that I still underestimated the power of Rieger Brihaut, his power can cause serious damage to a demon like me." The damage is too high, and it cannot be completely cured in a short time."

"...I'll let you use the scroll that I carry with me for the time being. The scroll is sealed with [Great Healing], the sixth-level high-level healing magic." Cocytus said in a deep voice, "That's already on hand. The best healing magic scroll ever."

"I know, it's okay, Cocytus." Demiurge said to his colleagues in a gentle tone only when facing his own people: "As long as I can temporarily escape the dying state , let me have the ability to act, that's enough."

"This level of injury is nothing compared to the current situation."

Thinking of the serious situation in front of him, Demiurge's expression darkened again.

"Let's go." Cocytus also understood the seriousness of the situation, stopped talking nonsense, and said directly: "Let's go back first."

Demiurge nodded.

The two immediately entered the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, passed through the illusion barrier, and came to a cemetery.

Their goal was the largest and most solemn central shrine in this cemetery, which was the only entrance to the interior of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick.

And when the two came here, someone was already waiting here.

"Demiurge!"

"Co, Cocytus!"

It was the dark elf twins who were their guardians who called the two of them in this way, the one who surrounded Lige in the prairie with Albedo, Shalltear, Demiurge and others—— Aura Bella Fiora and Mare Bello Fiore.

The two guardians of the sixth floor of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick also had tense faces at this moment, obviously already knowing what happened.

Seeing this, Demiurge didn't explain anything, but just asked the two of them.

"Is your lord back?"

Hearing this, Aura and Mare nodded one after another.

"is back."

"Right, right in the throne room."

The words of the two made both Demiurge and Cocytus look relieved.

What they are most afraid of is the situation that the adult fails to come back.

"Come on, let's go to the throne room."

Demiurge immediately walked into the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, and everyone followed.

This time, their destination was the tenth floor at the bottom of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick.

Through the teleportation of several teleportation arrays, everyone arrived at this floor very smoothly, and also came to an extremely spacious and exquisitely designed high-ceilinged room.

True to its name, the "Throne Hall", this room is not only spacious, but also solemn.

Its ceiling is very high, and the walls are based on white, decorated with various gold-based decorations, and there are several gorgeous crystal lamps made of colorful gemstones that emit a dreamlike dazzling light. Forty huge flags with different patterns painted on them were illuminated.

In this hall that uses a lot of gold and silver tones, there is a staircase with a height of more than ten steps. A huge red flag with a logo painted on it was bigger than the forty flags on the wall, obviously far more important than the former.

This is the Throne Hall, located in the deepest part of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, and also the most important place.

Here, not only can you manage many affairs in the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick through the system provided by the guild "Ainz Ooal Gown", but you can also manage the NPCs that exist here. If there are NPCs outside If it dies, it will eventually be resurrected in this place and return to the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick.

Last time, Shalltear was revived here after being dominated by spirit and defeated by Ainz.

And when Demiurge and others came here, not only many high-level NPC characters from the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick had already gathered here, but even some servants with extraordinary combat power were summoned here.

They knelt down on one knee, facing the direction of the throne.

On the throne, Ainz sat there holding a golden scepter.

Yes.

Ainz, resurrected.

Demiurge and Cocytus hurried up to Ainz with excited expressions on their faces, and knelt down on one knee.

"Ainz-sama!"

"It's great that you're all right!"

The two were both excited and moved, as if they were about to shed tears.

There was a red light in Ainz's eye sockets, as if he hadn't noticed the return of Demiurge and Cocytus until now, he raised his head.

"...For the time being, it can be regarded as nothing."

Ainz said this in a tone of not knowing if he could be counted as the survivor of a catastrophe.

"Fortunately, there is a transfer item that can be activated immediately at the same time as the resurrection, otherwise, this time I might not be able to come back."

For this, Ainz was really thankful.

Before setting off for Dulig, Ainz took two precious items with him.

One is a resurrection item that can be activated immediately upon death without reducing the level of the holder.

One is a transfer item that can be activated in chains at the moment of resurrection to transfer the holder to a pre-set location.

These two props are bought for a fee, which is the so-called krypton gold props.

Just before departure, Ainz brought these two props just in case, but in the end they were all used, allowing Ainz to safely return to the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick. die.

"However, Shalltear and Albedo are dead."

The bone hand that Ainz placed on the armrest began to make a fist.

"They were killed! By that damn human...!"

Anger poured out of Ainz's heart uncontrollably, even if he was forced to calm down, it still continued to erupt, which made Ainz unconsciously activate the effect of [Aura of Despair], and a dark ominous aura rose from behind.

"------!"

Feeling this suffocating and terrifying aura, everyone present lowered their heads in fear, not daring to take a breath.

Demiurge and Cocytus looked even more guilty and remorseful.

"It's all because of my incompetence, unable to protect Ainz-sama."

"Evidently there are four guardians accompanying us, but it has come down to this point, and Lord Ainz died once because of it. We really deserve death."

"Please punish Ainz-sama."

"If you can appease the anger of the venerable Supreme Being and let us suffer any punishment, we will be willing."

The two said these words in a voice that sounded like they were about to cry, and Ainz finally got rid of the raging anger that was constantly pouring out. The forced calm also took effect smoothly, calming the intense emotions in his heart.

"Forget it, this has nothing to do with you." Ainz shook his head, and said, "It's not because you are powerless this time, but because Rieger Brihot's power is far beyond our imagination, which led to this result. .”

"That human's strength is really too strong. With that level of strength, he still fought Shalltear twice. It can be seen that he has been deliberately hiding his strength to mislead us. "

"Therefore, the most urgent task is not to punish you, but to make quick arrangements to revive Albedo and Shalltear, and then formulate a new countermeasure."

Having said that, Ainz cast his gaze on Demiurge.

"Is the situation in the kingdom under control?"

Ainz's question made Demiurge finally raise his head.

"Yes, it has been successfully controlled." Demiurge said respectfully: "Although we were all severely injured by Li Ge Brihot, the plan was successfully implemented. With the support of the third princess of the kingdom With secret assistance and black information obtained from [Eight Fingers], the high-level officials of the kingdom will be misled and become hostile to the Theocracy, that will happen sooner or later."

"Also, as a giveaway, we're bringing back some people related to Rieg Brihaut."

Demiurge summoned several servants and asked them to throw a group of people into the hall.

Then, it is the people of [Blue Rose] and Brian.
