"Edom wants her voice!"
"..." The maids of the Pleiades star cluster breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the fox captured, and gathered together, standing very close together.
Although neither side has disarmed or relaxed their vigilance, they are clearly much more cautious than before.
"...Do you know?" Upon hearing this, the fox, who was tightly bound by Suo Liuxiang, suddenly spoke, calm and composed, showing no sign of panic.
"Being restrained is not, in theory, an abnormal state, but simply a state in which the body's movements are affected by external forces."
"You!...You!?"
The fox didn't answer. Instead, it released emerald green spiritual energy from its body, expanding Suo Liuxiang's body into a ball. Even though Suo Liuxiang tried to shrink back and bind the fox again, it couldn't resist this power and burst it apart!
Great will.
Aside from certain special abnormal states, it is an active skill that can remove all abnormal states from itself.
"But the bound state is judged as an abnormal state by this skill!"
While the maids in the Pleiades were still processing this information, the fox roared and cast another battle cry buff to subdue them!
Devour them! Mortal bones!
Spiritual energy erupted from the mortal bone sword, creating a vortex of energy. The fox held the greatsword horizontally, like a standard billiards player.
"Deadly Thrust! Guardian Deer!"
The giant sword, with its spiraling thrusts, was like a meat grinder; the maids of the Pleiades had no time to defend themselves or escape.
The massive blade thrust out, followed by a brief pause and the appearance of a verdant divine deer.
The elegant and noble deer raised its head, its sharp antlers concealing the fatal wound it had narrowly escaped, or perhaps the injury the maid who had been pushed aside should have suffered.
Only a spider's head hanging from the tip of the sword remained intact; the rest was littered with fragments, and only a few barely alive maids remained.
solved.
"Something's here. Based on the strength analysis of the feedback, it's a level guardian, Lady Fox." Yakumo Ran reappeared and used a spell card to restore the fox to its full strength.
"Shall we continue, Lord Fox?"
"...What is Shalltear doing?!"
Chapter 146 Rescue Operation Three
Ainz Ooal Gown raised his hand, and the dark, oppressive death magic transformed into a bone claw.
Such magic was useless against Shalltear; it was a pure waste of magic. Shalltear simply waved her hand, and a surge of magic from the blood pool neutralized it.
"Shalltear, look at this pool of blood behind you, just how many of your former comrades have you attacked?" Ainz Ooal Gown, glowing green, stared at the blood orb beside Shalltear that showed no signs of diminishing despite being used indiscriminately, and roared.
Blood Pool, a special skill of professional bloodthirsty individuals, allows them to store the blood of victims for various purposes. They can also extract magical energy from it.
Shalltear has used this skill from the very beginning until now, and it hasn't diminished at all. One can only imagine how many of her colleagues in the Great Tomb of Nazarick she had killed before she came to find it.
"Who knows, maybe a hundred, maybe two hundred... Ainz-sama, do you remember how many maids, how many servants, and monsters Nazarick have?" Shalltear elegantly fiddled with her fingers, and as she spoke, she once again activated the blood pool to release magic. A pale light flashed, but it was intercepted by the shield automatically released by Ainz Ooal Gown's staff in Ainz Ooal Gown's hand.
In this battle, Shalltear is no longer the mindless monster who only fights when attacked. Ainz Ooal Gown has no time to prepare a strategy or equipment specifically for Shalltear, nor does he have time to apply all his buffs before the battle.
Even without her signature weapon, Shalltear still held the upper hand in her battle against Ainz Ooal Gown.
"How could Shalltear dare to fight Ainz-sama without preparation?"
But Shalltear is very anxious now.
Her master's task for her was to draw the attention of the Great Tomb of Nazarick at all costs.
But even though she and Ainz Ooal Gown have been fighting for quite some time now, and the commotion has been immense, for some reason, it's always just her and Ainz Ooal Gown fighting here; not a single other Floor Guardian has been drawn to the scene.
"Ainz-sama, what have you done?"
"Who knows, Shalltear?" Ainz Ooal Gown was not at peace either.
Shalltear and its affinity were not good to begin with. Some equipment that could be used to target Shalltear was used to arm NPCs. Now, even with the assistance of Ainz Ooal Gown's Staff, they seemed somewhat powerless against Shalltear.
Moreover, Shalltear has yet to appear fully armed; she's not serious, still considering something, which only adds to its headache. The enemy on guard is likely already lurking within the Great Tomb of Nazarick...
We've already notified the Guardians of the Floors to provide support, but why hasn't a single one arrived yet...?
...
The second tier, Shalltear's chambers, the "Dead Wax Chamber".
Albedo and several other max-level NPCs from the Great Tomb of Nazarick gathered here, furious at the sight of the Pleiades's corpses scattered all over the ground, yet they could only rage helplessly.
By the time they arrived, the battle was already over, and not a single maid remained intact. They couldn't even find a trace of the enemy.
"It was my dereliction of duty not to come immediately after receiving Ainz-sama's notification of support!" Cocytus said heavily, white breath coming out of his nostrils.
They also did not expect that while Ainz Ooal Gown's emergency renovation plan for the Great Tomb was proceeding smoothly, the enemy would quickly arrive from the capital and find the entrance to Nazarick in a very short time, sneaking in to kill members of the Pleiades.
Although the Great Tomb of Nazarick is the stronghold of the guild "Ainz Ooal Gown", not all creatures inside actually belong to the Great Tomb.
There are also monsters that nest between or within the hierarchical worlds, a large portion of which are neutral wild monsters that normally have a symbiotic relationship with the Great Tomb of Nazarick. When invaded by enemies, they can also serve as cannon fodder to hold them off. Now that the Great Tomb of Nazarick is undergoing large-scale environmental modifications, it's perfectly normal for these monsters to be disturbed; they've already been attacked by these monsters more than once during their activities.
Therefore, when these NPCs, who are the top combat force in Nazarick, received Ainz-sama's support notification and the Pleiades' report, they thought that the Pleiades had just encountered such trouble and had not arrived in time, thus causing this tragedy.
"...After this matter is over, I would like to request to Ainz-sama that I resign from my position as a Floor Guardian. I am no longer worthy of this honor," Cocytus said. The other Floor Guardians shared the same sentiment.
As for the failure of the campaign, not a single NPC in Nazarick ever considered this issue.
Albedo, who had been silent for a long time, stepped forward, her expression filled with resentment, and donned her black steel helmet:
"Ainz-sama has not given any further updates. That damned intruder has not left Nazarick yet. Send one guardian to guard the exit, and the rest of the guardians to spread out and search. Once you find the target, do not act rashly. Notify the rest of the guardians before taking any action!"
...
Newbie here to fill in the blanks: It's so cold... Is there anyone kind enough to provide some warm gear...?
Qingshan the Great Demon King: Has this newbie who's just there to fill in already reached level 5?
Newbie just there to fill a spot: I found the teleportation circle, so I arrived at...
Seventeen-year-old girl: Hmph, I've already prepared for this kind of thing~
[A seventeen-year-old girl uploaded a file to the group chat: Fire Rat Fur]
Seventeen-year-old girl: Here, you're welcome!
[A newbie who just wanted to make up the numbers downloaded the group files, Fire Rat Fur]
Newbie here to fill in the numbers: Purple Mom, can you tell me properly what's going on with this Yakumo Blue?
Newbie just filling in the numbers: Although it has a physical form and quite a few abilities, this is clearly not Yakumo Ran.
After the battle with the Pleiades ended, the fox-like lady, having calmed down, immediately noticed that something was wrong with Yakumo Ran.
As a shikigami of Yukari-mama, Yakumo Ran, who is known as the "naked celestial fox," is impossible to deal with from beginning to end in a businesslike manner, no matter how you look at it, even if Yukari-mama asks her to.
Moreover, when I'm with her now, I never speak unless absolutely necessary, and she won't even let me get close enough to touch her tail for warmth.
This attitude is a bit much, even if Miss Fox accidentally tore off some fur from her tail.
At least in every aspect, it doesn't match Miss Fox's perception of Yakumo Ran.
A seventeen-year-old girl: Isn't this just common sense?
Yukari Yakumo in Gensokyo opens her folding fan.
A seventeen-year-old girl: Putting Blue into a spell card and using group files to cross worlds is practically smuggling, isn't it? How could I, as her older sister, bear to let Blue take such a risk?
Noelle: That makes a lot of sense.
Newbie here to fill in the blanks: So what is this blue color?
The seventeen-year-old girl: It's just a copy of Lan's mindset, that's enough. You should focus on saving Xiao Qingshan instead of just filling in the numbers.
A seventeen-year-old girl: Time is running out!
Grocery store owner: Be careful, no rush.
Before going down, Miss Fox had made an appointment with Uncle Aizen. If Miss Fox failed to complete Yukari's task before dawn, then Aizen would go directly to Aizen to bring warmth.
It's already past 2 a.m., and since it's summer, it will get cold in about two hours.
Newbie here to fill in the blanks: I really don't know what Shalltear was doing. She was tasked with drawing the attention of the Great Tomb of Nazarick NPCs and Ainz Ooal Gown, and now all the Floor Guardians are looking for me...
Newbie commenter: By the way, this Fire Rat Fur coat is so narrow at the chest area, do you have a larger size?
Seventeen-year-old girl: Hehe~
Chapter 147 Rescue Operation Part 4
"It's so tight... This doesn't seem like a code meant for me..."
Miss Fox tugged uncomfortably at her fire rat fur coat, feeling uncomfortable.
Logically speaking, when preparing clothes for someone without knowing their size, shouldn't you try to prepare clothes that are a bit larger? How come the Fire Rat Fur that Zi Ma prepared for her is completely the size of a loli girl?
Especially around the chest area, if it's not pulled tight, air will get in; if it's pulled tight, it feels constricting.
"As for the Fire Rat Fur, that should belong to NEET-hime, it's really amazing that Yukari-mama was able to get her..."
Walking through this glacial world is truly exhausting.
Everything was a vast expanse of white, with flying snow and howling wind constantly dominating the senses. It was unclear whether this had always been the case or if she had simply happened to encounter this kind of weather.
Fortunately, although it was difficult to travel in this weather and visibility was extremely low, the footprints on the snow were quickly filled and buried by the falling snow, so there was no need to worry about being rear-ended.
The most important problem is that, unsurprisingly, the passive strategy of reducing one's presence has failed; stepping on ice and snow is not considered as being grounded.
Fortunately, the Fire Rat Robe given to her by Yukari is more in line with the legend; it's white in its normal state, unlike the bright red one in Inuyasha. Otherwise, in this vast white environment, wearing a bright red Fire Rat Robe would be a disaster if she encountered a Guardian of the Floors. She'd be spotted immediately.
Newbie here to fill in the blanks: Where exactly is the House of Truth...?
Green Mountain Demon King: I don't know either. I was teleported there. I only know it was indoors, but I don't know exactly where.
Newbie just there to make up the numbers: What use are you! Just kill yourself! (Full of anger)
Miss Fox glanced back at "Yakumo Ran," wondering what she was doing. She kept looking around and occasionally released her demonic energy, but there was no reaction after she released it.
Moreover, this "Yakumo Ran" just follows her around; it doesn't even have a chat function, which is incredibly boring.
"Ah... how come there isn't a single NPC in such a huge glacial world..." Miss Fox wanted to use her stunning beauty to capture an NPC to guide her.
But to her surprise, she had been on the fifth floor for quite some time and still hadn't found a single NPC.
"Yakumo Ran" won't chat with me again. Seeing Dog Aoyama in the chat group makes me feel like I'm having a stroke. Miss Fox's willpower is almost completely worn down. I should have kept that penguin.
