Although these knights were weak, the Undead still did not let down his guard and let powerful demons follow him to protect his safety. He then used the knights' corpses to summon a Death Knight.
He gave the order: "Destroy all the knights who attacked this village."
“OO ...
"..."
The undead looked at this scene and was stunned for a moment.
He didn't come back to his senses until he heard the devil's voice. The devil pointed at the two girls and said, "Master Momonga, what should we do with these two lowly creatures?"
The two girls huddled under the gaze of the undead. They were frightened by what had just happened. The girls who were born in Kahn Village had never seen such a big scene. At this moment, a foul smell spread in the air. The two girls were frightened to the point of incontinence. The undead was silent for a moment, took out a bottle of brightly colored potion, and handed it to them: "Drink it."
Before they arrived, the elder of the two girls had been slashed by the knight in order to protect her younger sister. If she was left alone, she would bleed to death. So the undead took out a healing potion, but the girl seemed to have misunderstood something.
My sister mustered up the courage to step forward.
“I, I drink!
But please let my sister go───"
"elder sister!"
My sister was crying.
The undead's hand trembled.
At this time, the demon next to him said angrily: "... Lord Momonga gave you medicine with good intentions, but I didn't expect you to refuse to accept it... You are just an inferior creature... You really deserve to die."
She even raised her long-handled battle axe, intending to behead this ungrateful and inferior creature.
"Wait, wait, don't be impulsive. Things have their priorities. Put down your weapons."
The undead quickly spoke out to stop it.
"...As you command, Master Momonga."
Although the devil obeyed the undead's orders very gently, the murderous aura from her still made the two girls tremble with fear. It was obvious that she only let the two girls go because of the undead's orders.
But the devil's intention to kill them remained unchanged. As long as they stayed here, the two girls' spirits would never recover.
The undead felt a slight pain in his non-existent stomach as he thought about how to deal with the situation.
"This is a therapeutic medicine, there is no danger, drink it quickly." After a moment of silence, he suddenly threatened the girl in a threatening voice, implying that he would kill her if she didn't drink it quickly.
The girl hurriedly picked up the bottle of potion and drank it.
Then he looked at his body in surprise.
No more pain.
I touched my back and only felt the touch of skin.
The injuries are gone.
"Is it no longer painful?"
“Yes, yes.” After this incident, the girl relaxed her guard against the undead.
The Undead asked:
"Do you know magic?"
"I know. The herbalist who comes to our village occasionally...my friend can use magic."
"...I see. That explains everything. I am a magic caster."
The Undead finished.
Then he released two spells around.
【Reject the Cocoon of Life】
【Wall of Arrows】
"I've cast a protective spell on you that prevents any living creature from passing through, as well as a spell that weakens shooting attacks. As long as you stay here, you should be safe - and just to be on the safe side, I'll give you this thing." The undead said, throwing two unremarkable horns to the two girls.
"This item is called the Goblin General's Horn. As long as you blow this horn, goblins - small monsters will appear in front of you. Order them to protect you." Leaving behind such a foolproof measure, the undead led the demon towards the village.
At this time, the voices of two sisters came from behind them.
"Thank you, thank you for saving us!"
"Thank you!"
The undead stopped, looked back at them, and said briefly: "...Don't take it to heart."
“Also, although it may seem a bit shameless, no, but you are the only one we can rely on. Please! Please save our parents!”
"Got it. If they are still alive, I will save them." The undead agreed casually.
"Thank you, thank you! Thank you, thank you very much! And, may I ask your name?" The girl was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. ⑥⑨④⑨③⑥①④⑤
The undead was silent for a moment.
“…Remember my name. My name is — Ainz Ooal Gown.”
The demon next to him heard the name.
Looking at the undead silently.
[Chapter 30: Imperial Sword Master]
"Stop!"
Alice suddenly shouted.
"What, what happened?!"
Hanta, who was walking in front, was startled.
He turned around and saw Alice with a serious expression. He suddenly became extremely nervous. It was the first time he saw this adult with such an expression. Could it be that there was something dangerous around that he didn't notice? !
He looked around, and although he found nothing, he had no doubt that there was any danger around him because he trusted the judgment of the adults.
Alice looked forward seriously. In her vision, the front was obscured by dark and cold magic.
The heavy reaction of magic in the air made her feel a chill. It was a kind of magic that her master had used in experiments before - the magic of the dead that controlled the soul! And although she was reluctant to admit it, the reaction of the magic in front was even greater than what her master had shown before.
Although the owner of the magic power may not be as powerful as its master, it is undoubtedly an extremely vicious existence, and that kind of magic is her nemesis. If she encounters it, there is no possibility of escape.
"Let's go to another place. The village ahead is not safe." Alice looked at Hanta.
Although Hanta wanted to say that there was only this one village nearby and the nearest city was still some distance away, when he saw Alice's serious expression, he swallowed nervously and nodded to show that he understood.
A place that even Lady Alice felt was unsafe must be extremely dangerous. He couldn't even imagine what had happened in the village ahead.
Could it be that the entrance to the demon world had reopened and appeared in Kahn Village? Otherwise, he really couldn't think of any reason that would scare Lady Alice, who had already stepped into the realm of heroes, and make her avoid that place.
Shortly after the two left.
Si followed their scent and came here. Seeing that they changed their route, she was relieved and continued to move towards Kahn Village.
On the way, they met the warrior leader and his men. They seemed to be hesitating. They saw the soldiers of the empire going in that direction and saw the smoke rising from the direction of Kahn Village. The warrior leader was arguing with a soldier. From what they said, it seemed that the soldier thought that the empire was doing this to force them to go over, while the warrior leader said that as soldiers of the kingdom, even if they knew it was a trap, they had to protect the safety of the villagers of Kahn Village!
But during the time they were arguing, I'm afraid all the villagers had already been killed?
And she really didn't think there was a trap targeting the Warrior Captain there because the Warrior Captain was too weak.
Compared to the magical reaction in Kahn Village, the Warrior Captain was as small as an ant.
shook his head.
The company continued to move forward.
At her speed, she soon arrived at Kahn Village.
“Ooooohhhhhhhhhhhh——!”
As soon as she arrived at Kahn Village, she heard the roar of a monster. She immediately walked into the village and saw many slaughtered villagers on the road. A quick glance showed that they died at the hands of the knights' swords.
She came to the place where the monster's voice came from, and saw a tall death knight standing in the central square of the village fighting with a group of soldiers wearing imperial knight armor, and there were some villagers hiding around. According to her judgment, it should be the knights who slaughtered the villagers, because the wounds on the villagers' bodies were very easy to distinguish, and the big sword in the death knight's hand could not leave such a small wound.
"You, you guys!"
"Hurry up and stop that monster! I am not someone who can die here easily! Hurry up and help me buy time! Protect me with your body as a shield! Money, I will give you money. Two hundred gold coins! No, five hundred gold coins!"
A knight suddenly shouted with a mental breakdown. He seemed to be the captain of the team. Si found the captain's behavior a little strange.
After the bloodbath that the empire experienced, it was impossible for such a coward to remain in the army, let alone an officer like a squad leader from his appearance.
The imperial army in front of them was most likely in disguise, and their behavior seemed more like that of the soldiers of this country. But why did they disguise themselves as the empire, and what was their purpose?
Could it be that their purpose was to disguise themselves as the Empire's army, anger the necromancer hiding here, and bring an invincible enemy to the Empire? If it was a necromancer of this level, he would indeed have enough power to destroy a country by himself.
When Si was thinking about these things.
Those soldiers disguised as Imperial Knights had been killed by the Death Knights, with only a few left, and these knights looked as if they had given up struggling.
"Death Knight, that's enough." At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the air.
Si looked up.
A magic caster in a black robe and a female warrior in armor slowly descended.
Si immediately entered the state and copied the magic of [Flying] from them. But to her surprise, she only leaked a little breath, and the female warrior discovered her existence and rushed over to attack her without saying a word.
"That battle axe... is not an ordinary weapon...!" Noticing this, Si did not dare to be careless. The opponent was very strong, and the speed and strength he showed were close to that of Sofia's vampire.
If she wasn't in the right state, she would never dare to fight a close combat with such a guy.
Anger is unleashed.
Si rushed forward to meet the female warrior's attack. At this moment, she had used martial arts to increase her speed. Just as she was ready to face the opponent's martial arts, she saw the surprise on the warrior's face. The warrior seemed to be completely unable to keep up with her speed, so she decisively swung a space slash.
Space Slash is her new move based on Shura's Wrath. Although it is a new move, its power may not be stronger than the original move, it is just more convenient.
The space in front of the female warrior seemed to split open, and in an instant, accompanied by a huge roar, she crashed into the ground. Using the flying skill that he had just copied, Si floated in the air without continuing to pursue, and said to the silent magic chanter over there: "I am the sword master of the empire. I received news that someone disguised as our soldiers entered the border of the kingdom to cause chaos. I came here to investigate the truth. I have no ill will towards the people of Kahn Village. Please persuade your companions."
At this moment, an extremely evil magical power appeared from the deep pit that was blasted out.
She frowned and looked over.
"Albedo, stop!"
The magic caster's words fell.
The magic power in the pit gradually subsided.
With the sound of footsteps, a female warrior who seemed to be unharmed walked out of the pit.
Si saw this scene and thought to herself, as expected, that set of armor is also a very high-quality equipment. These two people are very dangerous, although their own strength should not be stronger than her. But this set of equipment is too troublesome, and she really doesn't want to mess with such a dangerous guy.
[Chapter 31: Mutual Suspicion]
The Sword Master of the Empire.
Ainz Ooal Gown looked at the girl in front of him with some uneasiness. The girl didn't look very old, but judging from her life breath, she didn't seem to have maintained her youthful appearance.
Did he really reach the maximum level (100) at this age? It seemed that his decision to have Albedo fold her wings and put on a mask was the right one.
He made this decision just to avoid scaring the villagers of Kahn Village and to facilitate the subsequent negotiations. He didn't expect that he would be saved because of this. The move the girl used just now should be the one he knew. That's right, absolutely right! That was his friend's signature skill - [Space Slash].
Moreover, what kind of monster could knock down Albedo, the chief guardian, in just one encounter?
He almost saw the shadow of his friend in the other person, because only that guy could do such an outrageous thing!
This world is really dangerous. An underage girl has the fighting power of a professional world champion. Although the title of "Sword Saint" sounds very powerful, maybe there is also a "Sword Emperor"? As far as he knows, there are at least four such titles. Does that mean there are at least four strong people of this level in this world?
Although his face was expressionless and nothing could be seen because of the mask, the image of the small man Ainz Ooal Gown was already covered in cold sweat.
“I’m sorry, but if it’s them you want to investigate, these are the only ones left alive.” Ainz Ooal Gown pointed at the knights whose faces showed a renewed will to live. Although he originally wanted to ask these knights something else, at this moment he decided to give these few survivors to the Sword Master as an apology for Albedo’s sudden attack just now.
Tsukasa was also on guard against Ainz Ooal Gown.
The magic power of this magic caster and the aura just displayed by the female warrior made her vaguely guess the racial identities of these two people.
This magic caster and his companions could definitely not be human. With this quality of undead magic, even if they were human before, they couldn't be human now.
The little bit of aura that the warrior just revealed only confirmed her guess. After all, she also knew the magic of the dead, and the magic of the dead that she mastered was the ultimate magic book leading to the gods. This also meant that they were more difficult to deal with. The magic caster itself was a very fragile profession, but the undead had a very high degree of immortality.
And that warrior might be a demon or something, she had an extremely high panel, plus with that set of equipment, her defense was ridiculously high. She was hit by a space slash, and even if she didn't use her full strength, there was no trace left at all. It was really exaggerated!
Ainz Ooal Gown said:
"I'll leave them to you."
"grown ups!"
