How did you bunch of silly group members also time travel

So after climbing a slope, I simply threw myself face-first into the snow and slid down. I was completely buried in the snowdrift, not bewildered but not really wanting to get up.

Just as Miss Fox was feeling down, the figure of Cocytus, the guardian of the fifth level, appeared on the slope.

Looking down at the slope, Miss Fox's figure was buried under the snow; there was nothing there.

Cocytus said with annoyance, "Too late again... But I can confirm the target is on the fifth floor. Notify Albedo..."

The withdrawn Miss Fox peeked out, just as Cocytus turned to leave.

"I think I just heard something?" Miss Fox looked around in confusion, but apart from the heavy snow with extremely low visibility and the howling wind, she didn't find anything else.

Not to mention any NPCs who can guide you.

"How come there isn't even a single NPC to guide us in this crappy floor..." Miss Fox felt a headache coming on.

"Lord Fox."

"Ooh!"

Turning around, she saw Yakumo Ran's face, which startled Miss Fox so much that her heart stopped beating for a moment. It took her a while to calm herself down. "Why are you appearing and disappearing like this? What's wrong?"

"The guardians we checked on the second floor have all appeared on the fifth floor."

"..." Miss Fox blinked.

"Yakumo Ran" and Miss Fox looked at each other. "...That's it?"

"Yakumo Ran" seemed unable to understand Miss Fox's meaning, tilting her head but saying nothing.

Miss Fox felt like she was about to have a stroke. This Purple Mother definitely didn't just simply copy Yakumo Ran's mindset; she definitely made some other settings specifically for her.

"Support? Solutions? Suggestions? There must be something else you want to tell me, right?"

That's what she said, but Miss Fox no longer expected "Yakumo Ran" to be of any use other than occasionally replying to her status updates in a businesslike manner.

Perhaps its main purpose was to annoy her.

"It must be my imagination. Surely Zi Ma wouldn't be that despicable?"

"Lord Fox, I cannot confirm the House of Truth you are looking for. However, there is a human man chained to an ice wall, covered in wounds, which confirms that he is a member of the group, the Great Demon King Aoyama. He is located directly below you," said Yakumo Ran.

"Yes, yes, and... um?" The fox paused. "What did you just say?"

"The Great Demon King Aoyama is right below you. Also, since you entered the fifth floor, you've been circling directly above the Great Demon King Aoyama. You're on your twentieth circle now," said Yakumo Ran.

My heart stopped beating!

It hit a vital spot and had an outstanding effect, but Miss Fox held on with her Breath Belt!

"...Then why didn't you tell me sooner!?" Clutching her heart, Miss Fox felt like she was about to vomit blood.

It's amazing that "Yakumo Blue" could still remember how many times she circled in this vast white glacial world!

"Because you didn't ask, Lord Fox." Yakumo Ran said respectfully, casually saying something that was infuriating: "Lord Purple said that if you don't ask, you don't need to answer."

"Tsk!" Little Fox Miss marked a few tally marks on Purple Mom's notebook, she'd made a mental note of this grudge!

However, directly below... Dog Aoyama said he was in a closed indoor environment, which is why he was able to survive for so long without freezing to death.

That means she's currently on the roof of the House of Truth...

"So, how do we get down..."

“It’s not us, it’s you,” said Yakumo Ran. “I am merely a pseudo-Yakumo Ran created by Lady Yukari. I am a mimicry of Lady Yukari’s demonic power and do not have a physical form. The ice wall’s obstruction is only effective against you, Lord Fox.”

"..." Silently pulling out Miss Mortal Bone, Miss Fox thought to herself: Can I kill this naked celestial fox?

"No, my dear master," Miss Vangu replied.

Never mind then.

Now that we're directly above the House of Truth, things are simpler to handle.

Dig down.

Dig a hole in the roof, then use the two gap spell cards given by Yukari to take Aoyama away and return to the ground. Then, tag Aizen's father to bring warmth to the Great Tomb of Nazarick to complete the group quest.

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: I found the House of Truth!

The Great Demon King of Qingshan:!

After saying one sentence in the group chat, Miss Fox stopped reading, lest Dog Green Mountain's next remarks cause her to have a brain hemorrhage.

Finding a place to stand firmly, holding Miss Mortal Bone, the fox began to adjust its state.

"Awaken, mortal!" The slender Zanpakuto swiftly transformed into a handy greatsword, and the fox took a deep breath—

'Wait! My dear master! What are you trying to do?! Please, please put away your dangerous thoughts!!!'

...

Green Mountain Demon King: Newbie just here to fill in, wait a minute! Don't come in yet!

The Great Demon King Qingshan:...

Aoyama the Great Demon King: A newbie just there to make up the numbers?

Aoyama the Great Demon King: @Newbie who just fills the numbers

Noelle: What happened?

Green Mountain Demon King: Oh no, we're doomed!

Chapter 148 Rescue Operation Five

Outside the House of Truth, rows of magic circles lit up, as max-level NPCs, chasing after the invaders of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, arrived one after another from various levels into the glacial world of the fifth floor. They had arrived at the House of Truth.

The commotion startled Qingshan, who was ignoring the pain on his body through the water. He quickly lowered his head, closed his eyes, and slowed his breathing to minimize his presence.

“Welcome,” Cocytus said.

The group of NPCs didn't care about Qingshan hanging on the wall. Even though the guardians noticed that Qingshan's heartbeat was strong, they didn't even bother to look up.

To put it bluntly, the green hills, having been squeezed dry of their value, no longer hold any worth for them. The only reason they've survived until now is because the situation was urgent; once they got the information they needed, they didn't have time to bother with them anymore.

Now that we've arrived at the fifth level, the reason has absolutely nothing to do with this human. Why bother with a half-dead two-legged sheep that has no value and we don't even have time to clean up?

"Cocytus! You said the intruders are on the fifth level, is that true!?" Albedo excitedly stepped forward and questioned him as soon as she arrived.

The death of the Pleiades star cluster had a particularly strong impact on Albedo.

"Calm down, Albedo," Sebastian advised.

“Ainz-sama told us to always stay calm. We are all furious about the deaths of the Pleiades sisters, but if we let the invaders take advantage of this anger and escape, then we would truly have no face to face Ainz-sama!”

“Yes, Albedo. I found the intruder’s footprints on the roof of the House of Truth. Although it was too late and the intruder escaped, the teleportation arrays are all near the House of Truth. Unless the intruder wants to confront us directly, they can only leave through the passage between the levels. We still have a chance,” Cocytus explained.

The fifth level is covered in ice and snow, a glacial world where snow is piled up everywhere.

Unfortunately, the weather on the fifth level is extremely bad right now, with very low visibility. If we don't enter the House of Truth and use the teleportation array to leave, we might be trapped and die on the fifth level.

"As long as we guard the passages between the levels and the teleportation array near the House of Truth, a vigorous search will surely uncover traces of the intruders!"

Phew, so it turns out they just found traces of newbies who were just there to make up the numbers.

The green hills on the wall breathed a sigh of relief, but quickly became tense again.

Although the newbie who was just there to make up the numbers was only discovered, it also alerted the guardians and led to their capture. Under such a pincer attack, unless the newbie could break through, he would inevitably perish here.

As for the strength of the newbies that Aoyama knew, let alone defeating one of the guardians, they probably wouldn't even be a match for some of the other NPCs in the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

Don't come any closer, you newbies just there to make up the numbers! Forget about me, let's just run away and let Aizen blow up the Great Tomb of Nazarick!

Green Mountain prayed in his heart.

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: I found the House of Truth!

The Great Demon King of Qingshan:!

However, Aoyama's prayers were of no use. The next moment, he saw a message in the group that made his heart stop beating!

No need! Run!

Aoyama hurriedly sent a message in the group, trying to stop the newbie who was just there to make up the numbers from doing something stupid, but things didn't go as planned. The newbie who was talking just a moment ago didn't see his follow-up message at all, and didn't even respond to being tagged.

This made Qingshan extremely anxious. There was a group of max-level NPCs down there. If he went back, at least the newbies could survive as long as they made up the numbers. But if he went in, they would just be feeding the enemy with him!

Damn it!

"Hey, that two-legged sheep up there is pretty energetic," an NPC suddenly remarked.

In his haste, Qingshan accidentally tugged at the chains, attracting their attention.

Only now did the NPCs realize that this two-legged sheep, which had suffered a great deal of torture, was still alive. Although it looked haggard and its face was ruined, its heartbeat was gradually becoming stronger, which made the guardian take notice and turn his attention to it.

"You're not hoping the invaders will come back to save you, are you?" Aura laughed heartily.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that this sudden intimidation of the two-legged sheep is merely an outlet for her pent-up emotions. Shalltear, with whom she's always bickering, has suddenly betrayed Nazarick; her companions on a mission, Demiurge and Entoma, have died; Demiurge cannot be resurrected; and now, the Pleiades, including Entoma resurrected by the Supreme Being, have been killed again right under her nose. Beneath Aura's cheerful exterior lies a torrent of emotions and pressure.

So now Aura is clearly taking her anger out on this two-legged sheep, but the guardians present are pretending not to see it and are just continuing to assign duties.

"Two-legged sheep, I think you're getting in my way now...!"

Boom!!

Suddenly, the glacial world of the fifth level began to tremble violently!

"This is coming from below! There's a battle going on in the lower levels!" As an insect, Cocytus has an unparalleled sense of danger and immediately detected the source of the tremor.

The vibrations came and went quickly, and stopped after a short while.

But the guardians gathered in the fifth tier felt a deep sense of unease.

What has been overlooked? What important things have been ignored because of their anger?

"What happened?!" Albedo asked anxiously.

Shalltear's betrayal, Demiurge's death, Nazarick facing its most powerful enemy yet, six of the Pleiades' Seven Sisters killed, and now such violent tremors are occurring in the lower realms...

"Ainz-sama! We must find Ainz-sama quickly! He's all alone on the tenth floor right now, what if an enemy finds him..."

"Calm down, Albedo," Sebastian stepped forward.

"Ainz-sama is the supreme ruler of Nazarick, a person who will win no matter who he fights. Moreover, there is only one intruder capable of sneaking into Nazarick undetected. If there were any other intruders, Ainz-sama would definitely..."

“We can’t get in touch with Ainz-sama,” Cocytus suddenly said.

Just now, Cocytus tried to contact Ainz Ooal Gown, but for some reason, it failed to make contact.
