Chapter 554 Ainz Ooal Gown: Let's have a life-or-death duel!

When Lajus roared those words, the guardians who were standing next to Ainz instantly appeared beside the Blue Roses.

Shalltear had even reached out to press down on Lahas's neck, but Ainz Ooal Gown suddenly stopped her.

The old man who was sitting on the throne stood up and, accompanied by Albedo, slowly walked to Lajus.

Shalltear immediately stepped aside and walked behind Ainz Ooal Gown. Ainz Ooal Gown looked at Lahas and asked with his red eyes, "Do you think we did something wrong?"
Just as you humans slaughter monsters and raise livestock for food, why don't you realize that your actions are trampling on life?

Faced with Old Bones's retort, Lajus argued vehemently, "How can human life be compared to that of cattle, sheep, pigs, and dogs..."

But before she could finish speaking, Old Bone rudely interrupted her, saying, "But to us, you humans are just like pigs and dogs in your eyes."

If it were you, would you ignore the maggots that appear on your food?

Lajus was stunned when faced with Ainz's question.

Yes, she overlooked something very important: the creature in front of them, although intelligent and capable of communication, was an undead!

Even so, Lajus still couldn't tolerate Ainz Ooal Gown and his group's actions.

Lajus wasn't stupid; she knew that Ainz Ooal Gown had shown them those things simply to provoke them.

Lajus understood that, like Gilkenif, enduring humiliation was the most correct course of action at this stage.

She was a complete stranger to the Empire's workers, and it was not hard to see from the previous footage that these so-called "workers" were not all good people.

"Dragon Hunter" is a senior who uses his age and seniority to try and use others as bait and test subjects.

A pretentious but actually extremely greedy "Heavy Crusher".

"Tianwu" is arrogant and abuses and enslaves elves.

In general, these high-ranking workers in the Empire are actually all scum.

But when she saw the camaraderie among the "four strategists," Lahoz finally couldn't hold back anymore.

“Ainz Ooal Gown, although I am powerless to refute what you just said.”

As a human being, I still cannot condone your actions. However, what I just said was merely my personal opinion and has nothing to do with anyone else.

So if you want to take action, I'm ready, but I hope you won't take it out on others.

Lajus knew very well that, given the way these monsters operated, her words had undoubtedly landed her on their death list.

Furthermore, the strength of these monsters was beyond her ability to withstand.

Lajus knew she had to bear the consequences of her words, and she didn't want the other members of "Blue Rose" to die here, so she took the initiative to shoulder all the blame.

However, before Ainz could respond, the other members of "Blue Rose" immediately protested.

Tia and Tina drew their weapons and assumed a fighting stance, saying, "Since the Ghost Boss is our leader, then what you say naturally represents our entire team."

Gagran also picked up his hammer and laughed loudly, "Tia and Tina are right. Actually, even if Lajus hadn't said anything, I would have almost lost my temper too." Ibiruai: "I told you before, following you guys will never bring any good. I didn't expect that you guys would really kill me today."

Seeing the attitude of the other members of "Blue Rose", Lajus was deeply moved and gripped the two magic swords in her hands tightly.

Now she understood why she couldn't hold back her emotions when she saw what happened to the "Four Strategists".

Perhaps it's because, like that girl named Arshe, I have a group of companions I can entrust my life to!
Looking at the "Blue Rose" in front of him, who seemed ready to die, Old Bone was now somewhat conflicted.

To be honest, he would stage this scene partly to make an example of Nazarick and demonstrate the power of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

On the other hand, they also wanted to take this opportunity to challenge the Baharus Empire, acknowledge the existence of their Sorcerer Kingdom, and force them to cede territory and pay reparations.

If the other side objects, they will use this as a pretext to launch a war against the Bahars Empire.

To Old Bone's surprise, the emperor Gilkenif, the ruler of the country, actually endured such humiliation, while it was the adventurer Lajus from the kingdom who couldn't hold back.

If we don't eliminate "Blue Rose", we can't establish our authority.

But if we were to actually kill Lajus and the others, it would be like issuing a declaration of war to the kingdom, or even completely breaking off relations.

Old Bone was very annoyed because things were getting out of his control.

However, as someone who frequently needs to patch up the Dihua Guardians, this unexpected event ultimately didn't stump him.

After pondering for a moment, Old Bone finally stopped the guardians who were about to make a move and said, "So that's how it is. Is this what they call camaraderie?"
I once had a group of companions with whom I could entrust my life and who were trustworthy.

"Your name is Lajus Elbein Drew Eindora, right? Since we both have a group of excellent companions, I can give you a chance."

“Yuri Alpha,” Old Bones called out, looking at Yuri beside him.

"Lord Ainz." Yuri knelt on one knee, awaiting the order.

"Since you trust your companions, then your companions must trust you in the same way, right?"

Then let's make a bet. If you can win... oh no, if you can hold out for thirty minutes without losing to Yuri.

I can forgive your previous rude and inappropriate remarks. As a reward, I can even resurrect the "Four Strategists" and let you take them with you.

"But... if you lose, not only you, but your companions will also experience the true despair of the Great Tomb of Nazarick."

Believe me, that kind of extreme despair is the real abyss compared to what you just saw.

So, do you have the guts to accept this bet I'm proposing?
Furthermore, if you refuse, I might, in a rare act of mercy, grant you death alone. I just don't know if your companions would be willing to risk their lives for you.

What she thought was certain death has suddenly turned into a glimmer of hope. Whether these monsters wanted to watch her struggle for their amusement or for other reasons, overall, it's much better than she initially expected.

However, the thought that if she lost, Evilue and the others would perish with her, made Lajus loosen her grip on the magic sword and declare that she was giving up. But she was interrupted by Evilue and the others behind her.

"Lagus, if you dare to say you're giving up, we will never forgive you!"
