The wind was killed, the air was killed, and even the earth was killed.

This area has become a complete vacuum zone.

Dust constantly drifted in the air, and grayish-white was the only color in this world.

This terrifying skill would kill even Albedo, who could withstand three super-tier magic spells head-on, instantly if she didn't escape this cage of despair in time, leaving her no chance whatsoever.

Even Shalltear, who possesses the ability to rewind time, would not have time to cast her spell before dying here.

This is a forbidden zone for life; nothing 'living' exists here.

This is why death is the end of all things!

The remaining three guardians had already disappeared. This powerful killing move did not distinguish between friend and foe; everyone except Ainz himself would be killed.

Therefore, after intercepting and blocking Roya, the three guardians quickly used their methods to leave the battlefield.

Logically speaking, without a resurrection item, Roya should have no chance of withstanding this magic.

However, there are always many unexpected things that happen in this world.

Ainz stared intently at the gray and white world.

In that world, there was no trace of Roya.

Roya wasn't there at all.

The night wind began to blow back into this deathly silent world, diluting the deathly aura, and this despairing world began to radiate life again.

A dull thud came from behind Ainz. It was a trap he had set up around him, capable of exploding and causing massive damage to prevent enemies from getting close.

But clearly, the trap did not cause much harm to Roya.

Ainz turned his head and looked behind him. A young man had been standing behind him at some point.

The young man was expressionless, his crimson-gold dragon eyes were extremely cold, and his handsome features were only calm as still water.

He sensed a deep sense of powerlessness from the young man; the course of the battle seemed to be unfolding exactly as he had anticipated.

Ainz hovered in mid-air, the cool night breeze chilling him to the bone. His gaze lingered on the young man before him, and he asked with great difficulty, "How did you do that?"

Roya stared expressionlessly at the tall, imposing skeleton before him and slowly said, "What harm is there in telling you? I possess two skills. The first skill is called 'Moment,' which can accelerate the flow of time within me. As for the extent to which it can be accelerated, I will not tell you."

"The second skill is called Time Zero, which can accelerate the time speed of objects around me."

"Now you should understand why you can't beat me, right? You don't even know what skills I have, yet you want to defeat me?"

Upon hearing this, Ainz fell silent. He began to recall what had just happened, but unfortunately, he could not see Roya's figure, nor did he know what had just occurred.

The moment the clock struck twelve, this incredibly powerful 'magic' was activated, and Roya made his move.

Whether it's the Word of Power: Momentary Instantaneous Strike or the Word of Power: Time Zero, both skills are related to time. Ainz's use of the tenth-rank magic, Time Stop, was particularly impressive, giving Roja a new understanding of the laws of time.

Ainz's magic is powerful, but it is not causal magic. No matter how large the range is, it still has a fixed range.

To kill Roya using this method, Ainz would either need to be faster than Roya, or simply stop time before unleashing his ultimate attack.

However, Ainz's tenth-rank magic was simply not capable of stopping time and still allowing him to cast "Death is the end of all things."

Therefore, from the very beginning, Ainz was no match for Roja, and killing Roja was simply an impossible task.

Ainz sighed upon realizing this, and said in a helpless voice, "Information, yes, I lack too much information, but there's nothing I can do about it, since you've already come to me. If you could give me more information, things wouldn't have turned out this way."

As he spoke, Ainz gave another bitter laugh, looking somewhat dejected: "Besides, even if I knew about your two skills, what could I possibly do?"

Luo Ya didn't say anything more, but he raised the long sword in his left hand.

This longsword, named the Sword that Pierces Truth, possesses unparalleled sharpness, a quality that reaches its peak under the infusion of Roya's divine power.

"I'm sorry to say this, but this time, you still need to learn a lesson, don't you think?"

Without any hesitation, the black knight's sword slashed directly at Ainz's body.

Several more beams of light flashed across Ainz's body, but these beams were torn apart by Restia. The black knight's longsword, without any surprise, pierced through Ainz's body in an instant.

Roya did not stop. He raised his knight's sword again, and a dazzling light flowed across the silver-white blade, exuding a holy aura.

Ainz offered no resistance, simply gazing at Roya with a calm expression.

Roja and Ainz stared at each other. Looking into those golden eyes, Ainz felt as if all his thoughts had been seen through by the other.

The Demon-Slaying Holy Sword finally struck Ainz, rendering all his defenses useless. In the end, Ainz's HP reached zero, and his body began to dissipate.

Ainz remained calm, but Roya's next words made his pupils shrink.

"I know you still have tricks up your sleeve, but it's okay, I'll come find you later."

Ainz is dead!

The supreme leader of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, leading four guardians to confront Roya, ended up with two dead and three crippled, fleeing in disarray.

Roya exhaled a breath of stale air, his gaze returning to the ravaged land, his crimson-gold pupils gradually returning to calm.

The night breeze made Roya's long hair flutter. Roya's gaze fell on a certain spot on the ground. He slowly walked over and sighed.

There lay a corpse there, a woman's corpse, and only that one corpse.

Clearly, the owner of this corpse is the girl named Zesshi Zesshi, who is now lying quietly on the ground, motionless.

Ultimately, their group couldn't make it through.

Although all of Ainz's skills were designed to target Roya, unfortunately, even the aftershocks were something that the Zetsu-Zetsu-Mei group could not withstand.

Ainz unleashed the Banshee's Scream, deliberately increasing the skill's range, with the same intention: even if he didn't kill Roya, he wanted to keep all of the Slane Theocracy here.

As humanity's last protectors, Slane Theocracy's trump card, even though it is known as the Absolute Death and Absolute Destruction, does not have any means to deal with instant death.

Although she possesses a weakened version of Ainz's ultimate move, it is clear that possessing an instant-death skill and dealing with an instant-death skill are two completely different things.

While Roya was able to withstand the banshee's screams head-on, the entire group from the Slane Theocracy was wiped out here. Apart from the dead and the corpses, the rest were turned to ashes, leaving no trace.

Chapter 439 The Real Recovery

If news of Zessef Zessef's death were to reach the Slane Theocracy, it would surely cause a huge uproar and trigger a series of reactions.

After all, this time, almost all of the Slane Theocracy's high-end combat forces were lost in a foreign land, and the leader, Zetsu Zetsumei, was a formidable force with a level of lv88.

It goes without saying how weak the natives of this world are, so it goes without saying how rare it is for a human powerhouse to reach level 88. It is precisely for this reason that she is hailed as the guardian of humanity, and her status is that of the strongest person in the human race, holding a special position in the Dark Codex.

Although the Slane Theocracy is a rather fanatical nation that advocates anthropocentrism, it is capable of using everything by any means necessary, indiscriminately regarding all subhumans and aliens as enemies, and trying every means to eliminate any monsters that may threaten humanity's status.

However, it is undeniable that the existence of the Slane Theocracy is a pillar for humanity in this world.

Without the Slane Theocracy protecting them, the human condition would be many times worse than it is now.

After all, this world is a dog-eat-dog world, and the weak human body makes humans inherently weaker than those monsters.

There is nothing we can do about it.

Although Roya didn't have much affection for the Slane Theocracy, and had even killed the Sunlight Scripture before, the world still needed them, especially the human side, which needed the powerful force of Zesshi Zesshi to guard it.

Moreover, upon closer reflection, Roya discovered that the Kingdom of Slan was far stronger than his own kingdom.

This kingdom truly disgusts Roya; he really wants to cleanse that entire scumbag kingdom from the inside out.

Roya's gaze swept over the skeleton, and after a moment's thought, he made a decision.

"Very well, it's a good opportunity to try out my newly acquired magic."

"Ninth Tier - True Resurgence, let's see how it goes."

Roya stretched out a hand, and magic began to flow into it, forming a massive magic circle that enveloped the corpse of the dead.

------------

My consciousness is hazy.

Jue Shi Jue Ming felt as if he had lost all sensation, like a rootless duckweed floating on the water.

Her body seemed to be out of her control; she could only feel herself sinking deeper and deeper.

The seawater engulfed her consciousness, pulling her ever forward into the darkness.

A strong premonition told her that it seemed that in just a little while, she would become completely one with the darkness below, becoming a part of the shadows.

She was powerless to resist this process, or rather, she had no ability to resist it.

There was no despair in her heart, because the thought could not arise in her mind.

She just stared blankly at her surroundings, her mind a complete blank.

However, the next moment, a warm feeling flowed through her body, causing her to tremble. Her previously dazed gaze quickly regained its brightness, and her previously numb and stiff body became light at this moment.

Not only that, she also saw a hand, a strong yet gentle hand, slowly approaching her.

The hand gripped her firmly, carrying her body forward as they swam toward the highest point of the sea.

A dark shadow passed by her, and a gentle hand led her forward.

The ocean wasn't deep, or rather, she hadn't been dead for very long.

Before long, she was on the surface of the sea. Holding her large hand, she pulled her out of the water with ease.

Consciousness began to return, and Zesshi Zesshi came back to life.
