"Magic Delayed - Real Death".

With a smile on his face, Ainz walked step by step toward Roya, extending his pale, bony hand and placing it in front of Roya.

Since we can't attack Roya before the time stop expires, we can time it perfectly so that the magic activates the instant the time stop expires.

Of course, mastering the art of using skills in sequence is a considerable challenge for players.

Even among all the magic-based players in "YGGDRasIL", only about 5% can skillfully utilize this move.

But clearly, Ainz is one of those 5%.

Ainz's spell was enhanced by his own power, and the Despair Aura he had released earlier could reduce the opponent's resistance to death directly.

"Farewell, goodbye to your life."

Ainz made a victory declaration, slowly placing his skeletal hand on Roya's body, the two red lights in his eye sockets flashing slightly.

All he had left to do was wait quietly for the skill effect to end.

However, just when he thought he had it all figured out, he noticed that the motionless young man in front of him seemed to have a strange smile on his lips.

He frowned, a vague sense of unease creeping into his heart.

Time passed slowly, and Ainz stared intently at Roya's pretty face, calculating the remaining time of his skill.

"Three seconds left."

The young man in front of him remained motionless, as if nothing had changed.

"Two seconds."

The surrounding guardians remained motionless; the world was still frozen in time, the river of time cut off, and nothing unusual happened.

"One second."

Ainz's magic was ready, poised to strike Roya at the perfect moment with this powerful, instant-death spell.

In Ainz's hands, the ninth-rank death-direction magic was comparable to a high-ranking tenth-rank magic. Combined with his tenth-rank time-stop, it could, in certain situations, directly turn the tide of battle.

"Get ready to take action!"

Ainz was about to make his move when the opportunity presented itself, but then a sudden change occurred.

An invisible wave emanated from Roya and suddenly erupted at the last second. Ainz, seeing the situation was not good, tried to escape.

"High-level teleportation".

However, when he tried to use the skill, he was shocked to find that he had not been able to cast the spell.

Ainz's expression instantly turned quite ugly.

"Damn it, isn't the skill over yet? What's going on? How can he possibly move?"

Before Ainz could think any further, a large hand suddenly reached out and grabbed Ainz's shoulder. The young man's sinister voice rang out behind Ainz.

"Time-stop magic? That's impressive, but guess what type of skill I'm best at?"

"Thanks to you, I've truly grasped the wonders of time magic this time."

Ainz trembled upon hearing Roya's voice. He said to Roya, "Impossible! How could you break free from your restraints? You clearly didn't do anything to counteract the situation."

Roya's smile remained unchanged. Roya's gaze swept over Ainz from head to toe. Roya laughed and said, "Trying to stall for time? No problem. Our time has been accelerated at this moment. No matter how much you try to stall, it will be useless."

"Ainz, should I call you clever or stupid? You've plotted to bury yourself. Are you unable to use any of your skills now?"

"But I'm different, I can attack you!"

"Light Sword!"

Throat whistle unsheathed!

The longsword that had been with Roya for many years now revealed its true power.

A sword light almost enveloped the entire world. This sword was incredibly fast. The longsword arrived in an instant and struck Ainz hard.

Ainz was caught off guard and struck by the slash.

Ainz's body was not cut in two by the sword as expected. Instead, beams of light enveloped Ainz, which shattered one after another, actually managing to resist most of the power of the attack.

The powerful force sent Ainz flying, and just then, Ainz's skill ended.

The four guardians had just broken free of their restraints and were reacting when they saw Ainz fly out like a cannonball.

The guardians instantly understood what had happened. As Ainz's closest confidants, they were very familiar with the skills Ainz possessed, and they immediately realized that Ainz must have used the Time Stop spell.

However, judging from the situation, Ainz seems to have received a counterattack from the other side.

In short, the methods that were thought to be foolproof proved to be completely ineffective at this moment.

Albedo, who was in the lead, was the first to react. She watched helplessly as Ainz was knocked away by Roa, and at that moment she was on the verge of going berserk.

"You lowly human, how dare you do such a thing to our most revered Supreme Being!!!"

With a sharp roar, Albedo charged toward Roya at supersonic speed, like the most evil monster in the world.

Not only that, Shalltear, who was standing at the farthest point, also reacted.

"Self-time acceleration!"

She raised her spear once more, using the last of her professional skills available that day.

"Clean Throwing Gun!"

A dazzling silver light emanated from the spear, which Shalltear once again hurled with tremendous force, its speed even surpassing that of Albedo as it struck Roya.

"Demon Aspects - Tentacle Wings!"

Even the usually composed Demiurge was enraged. Another pair of wings unfurled from Demiurge's back. The two different pairs of wings spread out, their feathers writhing, and shot towards Roya's location.

The silver halberd in Cocytus's hand had somehow been replaced by a long sword with a blade over 180 centimeters long. Cocytus flashed to Roya's side, raised the long sword in his hand, and unleashed a powerful side slash at Roya.

"Wind Slash!"

An attack by four guardians working together would undoubtedly be an extremely frightening thing.

Each of these four individuals is a master with a level of 100 and possesses at least three pieces of divine-grade equipment.

Although Albedo and Cocytus are not as strong as Shalltear, they are two of the three strongest close-combat fighters in the Great Tomb of Nazarick. It can almost be said that all the guardians of the Great Tomb of Nazarick who are ranked have been mobilized.

Even Ainz would find it difficult to cope with such a lineup, and facing four adventurers at the same time, Ainz's defeat was inevitable.

However, faced with such a massive and overwhelming offensive, Roya simply chuckled.

"Moment - Third Stage"

"Time zero."

His own time began to accelerate, and the passage of time became much slower in front of Roja. The power of the Word of Power had already reached the level of the rules, which was completely incomparable to Ainz's time magic.

No matter how fast the attack, how swift the strike, or how powerful the killing move, it is utterly vulnerable in the face of time.

The moment Roya opened his eyes, everyone in the room seemed to see a dazzling sun.

A blazing light rose from the eyes of the young man beside him. Those were such burning eyes that just one glance made one feel as if they were on fire.

"You may all leave now."

He raised the throat flute in his hand, leaped over his head, and then tucked it into his waist. In the tidal wave of light and heat, Roya lowered his body, his golden eyes, like molten lava, focused on the crowd in the scene, and the young man slowly exhaled a scorching breath.

Draw your sword.

In that instant, Roya made his move.

The moment the throat flute sword was drawn, the world began to fade, and all that remained in everyone's vision was the light of that sword.

The sword light collided with the killing moves of the four guardians, producing a deafening explosion. Waves of magic swept over them in circles, forcing the four guardians back several steps. Their ears rang, and then they felt an unbearable pain in their eyes.

The three guardians closest to Deroya let out a shrill scream as the sword light injured their eyes, obliterating all their killing moves. They were forced to retreat hundreds of feet again.

At the crucial moment, Shalltear unleashed her final power.

"The Sacred Domain of Power!"

An invisible barrier enveloped Shalltear, and at the critical moment, Shalltear stepped forward and stood at the forefront to withstand the sword light.

The four guardians' killing moves were extraordinary. Most of the sword light was worn away, but even the remaining small part caused a series of sounds like shattering glass to emanate from around Shalltear.

"Damn it, the 'Sanctuary of Power' can't hold out! Albedo! Act now!"

Shalltear cried out in terror. Albedo took Shalltear's place, and in her haste, she wielded the ominous giant axe and slashed fiercely at the sword light.

The next moment, Albedo, wielding the ominous giant axe, was violently flung away, but the sword light was finally completely obliterated.

The guardians breathed a long sigh of relief, while Roya's gaze was fixed on the giant axe in Albedo's hand.

Albedo's weapon was not a divine artifact like Shalltear and the others, but a genuine world-class item—"Hell Abyss".

This is one of the eleven World Items obtained by "Ainz Ooal Gown," possessing the strongest destructive power against objects.

As a world-class item, its attack power against living beings may not be as high as Shalltear's Water Drop Lance, but its characteristics make it terrifying.

It can destroy equipment and objects, and can even be said to be the nemesis of all melee classes that use weapons to fight. Once it comes into direct contact with the Abyss of Hell, its weapons will suffer unimaginable wear and tear, and if these weapons are not at the artifact level, they will be instantly destroyed.

Luo Ya glanced at the nick on the throat flute longsword, his expression showing some heartache.

The throat flute, a longsword, has always been Roya's favorite melee weapon.

As the sword god of the holy land of swords, his throat flute can be said to be a signature of the sword god. Both the previous generation sword god, Gar, and the current generation sword god, Roya, are very fond of this sword.
