Looking Forward to Another World

"Come here yourself, vampire."

When these provocative words reached Shalltear's ears, Shalltear subconsciously became angry.

But when she thought of her last failure, Shalltear suppressed the anger in her heart and kept telling herself to calm down.

"If you lose your cool, it's very likely that [Blood Frenzy] will affect your mind. That won't work."

Although she has lost her memory before and after she was mentally controlled, according to Nazarick's analysis, half of the reasons why Shalltear was so easily controlled by world-class items and plotted by the people from the Black Sacred Scripture need to be Counted on [Blood Frenzy], a special skill with negative effects.

It was precisely because of the influence of [Blood Frenzy] that Shalltear was plotted by the enemy in an unsuspecting and semi-mad state.

Otherwise, as long as Shalltear remains vigilant, with her strength, she can take action before the world-class items are activated and avoid the effects of the world-level items. At worst, she can use [Advanced Teleportation] or [Portal]. Use similar teleportation magic to retreat directly to avoid being mentally dominated.

But due to the influence of [Blood Madness], Shalltear lost part of her rationality. In addition, she is not the type who is good at thinking. She also has the common characteristic of most of the aliens in the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, which is to despise human beings. , despising species outside of Nazarick, and several reasons combined to cause Shalltear to stumble.

This analysis was given by Ainz, so Shalltear believed it deeply.

Therefore, Shalltear told herself more than once that she must be calm and know how to think, and she could no longer be affected by external factors, causing the mission to fail and the Supreme Being to be disappointed.

Shalltear, who warned herself in this way, also recalled the solemn tone Demiurge used to tell her about Lige's presence in the capital yesterday.

"Delay as much time as possible and trap Lige Brighaut on your side. If it is impossible to avoid fighting, then use gathering intelligence as your first purpose and test out that man's power."

The Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick has long wanted to study Li Ge.

Ainz, in particular, was always thinking about gathering information about Li Ge, not only to find out his origins, but also to find out his specific strength.

What type of strong man is he?

What kind of fighting is he good at?

Are you a melee master? Or defender output? If he is an expert in close combat, what kind of skills does he have? If he is good at using magic, what magic is he proficient in?

These are what Ainz wants to know, and what Nazarick wants to know.

Ainz is the type who makes decisions before taking action. He is good at information warfare. Even in PK, he must first collect all the information about his opponent, and then formulate relevant countermeasures to target the opponent and increase the winning rate as much as possible.

Therefore, Ainz had long thought that if Rigo would become his enemy sooner or later, it would be best to find a way to fight him once to find out what his abilities and areas of expertise were so that he could prepare.

Now, this task falls on Shalltear.

"This is a good opportunity to make up for your past mistakes. It doesn't matter even if you lose to that man. You must test his abilities as much as possible."

Demiurge's solemn words echoed clearly in his ears.

"Anyway, your role there is also a prison. Your task is to act as a bait. Now the prey is almost here, and there is also the unexpected harvest of Lige Brighaut, so everything is left to you, Shalltear .”

Recalling Demiurge's instructions, Shalltear took a deep breath.

"I will definitely complete the mission."

With such determination, Shalltear began to chant magic.

"[Vitality continues to recover]."

"[The power of Mother Earth]."

"[High-level attribute defense]."

"[Magic Amplification]."

"[Perception increase]."

"[Sanctuary Protection]."

As Shalltear chanted, bursts of magic light flickered on her body, allowing Shalltear to instantly be blessed with several kinds of magic that were effective in combat and even improved her own abilities.

Seeing this, Li Ge's eyes flashed slightly.

"[Brilliant Emerald Body]."

"[Negative attribute invalidation]."

"[High-level all-attribute enhancement]."

"[Magic Amplification]."

"[Extraordinary intuition]."

"【flight】."

He actually chanted various kinds of magic, causing the magic light to continue to shine on his body.

If [Blue Rose], Brian and others were here, they would definitely be very frightened when they saw the magic used by Li Ge and Shalltear at this moment, right?

Because, the magic they chant is almost all beyond the sixth level, the lowest is the seventh level magic, and even the tenth level magic. Put these magics in this world, that is the real magic. of miracles.

Li Ge and Shalltear not only used it casually, but also used it very skillfully and easily, as if this was an ordinary magic that the two of them had been using on a daily basis.

"[Self-Time Acceleration]!"

The next moment, Shalltear took the lead and disappeared from the spot, entering another time and space with a completely different viscosity.

"[Time stops]!"

Seeing this scene, Li Ge didn't even think about it and directly activated the time magic.

Suddenly, the whole world seemed to be frozen, and time was completely stopped.

Only then did Shalltear's figure appear behind Li Ge. The dropper spear in her hand had already been thrust out, and the tip of the spear was less than five centimeters away from Li Ge's back.

Li Ge immediately turned around and drew his sword.

"Zhi!"

The lightning flashing slash cut through the sky, as if even the frozen time and space had been cut off, restoring the flow of time.

Of course, time will resume flowing, not because the frozen time and space was really cut off by Li Ge, but because the magic of the time system has almost the same restriction, that is, you cannot attack during the activation of the magic.

Li Ge launched an attack, so [Time Stop] was released, allowing the flow of time to return to normal, and allowing the two weapons in the battle to hit each other at the same time.

"Pfft!"

Lige's slash cut open Shalltear's chest, causing blood to burst out in front of her.

"Bang!"

Shalltear's dropper spear also hit Li Ge, causing an astonishing sound.

However, the results of the two attacking each other were completely different.

"Uhhhhh...!"

Shalltear wailed and flew back with blood all over her body.

"Zheng!"

Li Ge's body lit up with an emerald green light, completely avoiding the damage caused by Shalltear's dropper spear.

This is the effect of the tenth-level magic [Luminous Emerald Body], which can reduce the damage of beating attribute for a certain period of time, and completely invalidate the damage of beating attribute.

Shalltear's dropper spear looks like a spear and a stabbing weapon, but it actually has a beating attribute attack, so it can trigger the effect of [Luminous Emerald Body].

Under such circumstances, Li Ge completely avoided harm, but Shalltear was injured by Li Ge's slash, and she retreated bleeding.

"Defensive magic is invalid...!?"

Shalltear was tortured by pain, causing her face to become distorted.

Among the magic she had previously stacked, whether it was [high-level attribute defense] or [sacred protection], they were all magic with defensive effects.

[High-level attribute defense] can significantly reduce attribute damage.

[Sacred Protection] can improve physical defense.

With the blessing of these two magics, logically speaking, Li Ge's slashing attack that seemed to have thunder attributes should be weakened by most of it, and then completely offset by the legendary item armor on Shalltear.

The result was that Li Ge's slashing attack easily caused damage to Shalltear, which was still quite a lot of damage.

This is naturally the skill effect of [Pioneer of the Sun], which has special attack capabilities against evil enemies.

With the special attack ability, even if Shalltear used magic to reduce the damage, she would still be injured.

If it weren't for the legendary item armor on Shalltear's body, the sword just now would definitely disembowel Shalltear.

"Breath of Thunder·Shape of Wu·Hot World Thunder!"

At this time, Li Ge slashed with his sword again, and the blade burst with lightning, allowing him to release lightning-like slashes with high heat, which struck Shalltear.

"[Power Sanctuary]!"

Shalltear immediately used new defensive magic, causing the sacred shield to rise from the ground and cover her.

"Bang!"

The lightning-like slash with high heat landed on the protective shield, causing a muffled sound and causing the protective shield to tremble slightly before being bounced away.

"Is this the trick again?"

Rige recognized the magic.

Back then, in the northern forest of E-Rantel, Shalltear had used this magic to block many large-scale attacks from Lige.

This magic has a very high durability value. As long as the durability value does not return to zero, Li Ge will not be able to attack the protected Shalltear.

Of course, Shalltear couldn't attack Li Ge.

[Power Sanctuary] is a protective magic that completely isolates the inner and outer spaces. No matter whether it is the enemy or ourselves, no attack can be launched.

Shalltear's purpose for activating this magic is also very simple, which is to buy time to recover.

The magic she used at the beginning [Continuous Vitality Recovery] has the effect of slowly restoring her health over time. Therefore, Shalltear is now slowly flashing the light of magic, gradually recovering from the injuries on her chest.

If it had been before, Li Ge would probably have used constant attacks to destroy the protection of the [Power Sanctuary].

But now, he would not give Shalltear that kind of time.

"[Magic disintegration]."

Suddenly, Li Ge stretched out his hand in the direction of Shalltear and activated a new magic.

"boom!"

The protective shield protecting Shalltear was suddenly shattered and disappeared under the cover of a wave of magic power.

"What……!?"

Shalltear's expression changed slightly.

[Magic Disintegration], as the name suggests, is a magic that can dispel the opponent's magic and render the opponent's magic ineffective.

One characteristic of this magic is that if the opponent's ability is higher than yours, you cannot completely remove the opponent's magic.

But Li Ge's magic ability obviously surpassed Shalltear's, and he instantly dispelled Shalltear's magic, rendering her magic ineffective.

"[The most enhanced magic·brilliant brilliance]."

Li Ge used new magic again, causing a burst of sacred light to fall from the sky and hit Shalltear.

It was a sacred type of magic, which had a superior effect on undead like Shalltear and could cause extremely high damage.

In order to pursue damage, Li Ge also strengthened this magic to maximize its damage.

Unfortunately, this time it was his turn to miscalculate.

"Don't think that attacks with sacred attributes can be effective against me!"

Shalltear actually rushed out of the radiance, completely unharmed. She swung the dropper spear in her hand, carrying the roaring wind and the sound of sonic boom, and hit Lige hard.

"Bang!"

Li Ge was immediately blasted away and retreated violently. He finally stopped and avoided hitting the wall.

"...I see, are you wearing a magic item that can reduce the damage of holy attribute attacks?"

Lige's transparent world vaguely glimpsed the scene under Shalltear's armor.

Under the armor, an item was activated and was emitting light, providing Shalltear with the ability to defend against divine attributes.

"I am an immortal, and I am extremely afraid of holy attacks. In this case, do you think I won't take some measures to deal with this?"

With such a sneer, Shalltear raised the dropper spear in her hand.

On the spear, the test tube-like part suddenly rotated, as if it were an injection, sending a force to Shalltear, speeding up the recovery of Shalltear's chest injuries.

This is the effect of the dropper spear. When it causes damage to the enemy, it can absorb that part of the damage and convert it into healing for the holder, restoring the holder's health.

Under the influence of this artifact-level item, even the damage caused by Li Ge's special attack ability was eventually recovered, allowing Shalltear to return to an unscathed state.

"Looks like we're back to square one again."

Li Ge held the knife in one hand and patted the dust on his clothes with the other. As he said this, his eyes were particularly bright.

Shalltear, who was already paying special attention to Li Ge, observing Li Ge and exploring his information, noticed this phenomenon and her heart trembled slightly.

"He's enjoying the fight?"

That's right.

Li Ge is enjoying the battle.

In other words, he was enjoying a close fight.

"As expected, it's more interesting to fight with beings like you."

Li Ge slowly walked towards Shalltear with a knife in his hand, saying this as he walked.

"Let me ask you, what do you, Nazarick, want to do by attacking the Theocracy and the dark side of the kingdom?"

"Is your Lord Ainz planning something?"

"Or are you, Nazarick, finally planning to take the stage?"

Hearing this, Shalltear smiled.

Smiling extremely proudly.

"How can we, the ruler of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, the Supreme Lord Ainz, be satisfied with the status quo?"

"Unfortunately, it is impossible for a human like you to understand what that adult is thinking."

"The only thing you can do is to surrender to our Supreme Being and bow under the banner of Ainz Ooal Gown."

"This is the ultimate honor for you."

After finishing speaking, Li Ge and Shalltear's eyes met, and intense sparks arose in their gazes.

The next second, the two of them rushed towards each other at the same time.
