I like traveling the most

The light lasted only a short time, and calm returned after a moment. Then, in the eyes of everyone's shock, the four-meter-tall undead giant froze in mid-air, and then slowly melted away.

"It's in the way."

The priest's disgusted tone brought the soldiers back to their senses, and they soon became pious and grateful.

They didn't wait for reinforcements, but they did. Thinking that they had hope of survival, they tried to hug the thighs of the priest in front of them.

But the priest had no intention of defending the city, he chose to take the initiative.

"--Open the door."

"What, what?"

The captain of the guards didn't understand what he said at once. After blinking several times, he understood what the priest said, and shouted in panic:

"Don't talk nonsense! There are a lot of undead on the other side of the door!"

"It doesn't matter, I will purify them all."

The priest's calm tone was full of absolute confidence, and all the guards were shocked and speechless. They couldn't even refute it. After all, the four-meter-tall undead giant had proved that the other party had this ability.

"But you seem unable to resist the surging army of the undead. It will be bad if you are captured again. Sorry, I didn't think it through."

The priest seemed to understand them.

Just when the guards thought that the priest would not rush out rashly, he stepped on the uneven foothold of the city wall and easily jumped over the four-meter-high wall, disappearing on the other side of the wall.

Then the warriors in black full body armor and the beautiful magician also left together.

"Hey, wait...!"

There was no time to stop them. The captain of the guards could only watch them die.

Yes, in his opinion, only a few people dared to break into the army of the dead, which was no different from dying.

There was a silence at the scene.

As if a typhoon had passed, the stunned time lasted for an unknown amount of time. A guard who had come to his senses asked in a trembling voice:

"Hey... did you hear it?"

"What did you hear?"

"The wail of the undead."

Even if he pricked up his ears and listened carefully, he could not hear any sound, as if everything was quiet, and the countless collisions that had just been heard stopped.

The frightened guard trembled and said, "Do you believe that those few people can easily break through and advance safely in the face of that group of undead army?"

The guards were amazed and admired.

The sound stopped because the undead nearby were attracted by the new target that left here. As for the fact that there was no sound until now, it meant that they were still fighting and had not returned.

The unbelievable thought made all the guards curiously run to the wall. The scene in front of them made the guards doubt their eyes and couldn't help groaning.

"Who is that priest?"

"All of them are purified..."

"No, no way!"

There is a bright light source in the dark night, which envelops the priests, warriors, and magicians, and then opens a path in the army of the dead. Even though there are thousands of dead armies who want to engulf this small light source, it still shines like a beacon guiding people forward, standing firm in the ocean of death.

"It's really incredible!"

"Which church is that priest from?"

"I know! It's the Axis Church! The necklace on the wrist of the priest in charge is the symbol of the Axis Church!"

"What, it's the Axis Church?"

"Axis Church..."

After hearing a guard mention the Axis Church, the others were first shocked, then nervous and excited, and finally realized and a little disappointed.

To be honest, the reputation of the Axis Church in the kingdom is mixed... No, to be more precise, it is more negative. However, in terms of who is the most authoritative in dealing with the undead, it is undoubtedly the Axis Church, even the priests of the Silian Theocracy cannot do it.

In particular, they once promoted the book "Even Idiots Can Learn How to Deal with the Undead" for free, which once caused a terrible storm in the kingdom.

Of course, it is negative.

They have always thought that it is a useless book, but now it seems that there is something to be said for it? When I go back this time, I must collect a few more copies.

On the other side.

"Mr. Momo and Miss Nabe, please follow me at all times. The protective shield I can support is only 2 meters in diameter. If I leave it, I may be attacked by the undead."

"I know."

Hearing the news from Kobayashi who was leading the way in front, Ainz nodded, but his footsteps quietly left the protective shield for dozens of centimeters.

No, it's so hot!

He is an undead, how can he be blessed by the priest?

Generally speaking, there are magic resistance equipment in YGGDRASIL, so even if he is a necromancer, as long as he is equipped with light resistance equipment, he will not be afraid of the priest's blessing, even if it is a bit annoying, he will not be hurt.

But the armor he is wearing now has no light magic resistance at all. It's like a beautiful woman taking off her clothes and sunbathing in the scorching sun. This is no longer enjoyment but torture.

So Ainz quietly fell behind him by dozens of centimeters, trying to stay away from him as far as Xiaolin could not notice.

However, thanks to the fact that there were too many undead around him and the strong smell was disgusting, Xiaolin did not notice the little deterrence he exuded, which was also the reason why he was not attacked by the undead army.

Low-level undead are brainless, but they have one advantage, which is the absolute hierarchy. They will not attack undead with a higher level than themselves, so Ainz was not attacked.

As for Nabe, she is a double phantom, and she is not affected by the blessing of the priest too much, so she follows Xiaolin safely and enjoys the protection.

Speaking of which, this mission is quite easy. At the beginning, Ainz thought that he had to protect Xiaolin while breaking through the army of undead and getting in front of the murderer.

Although it is easy for the supreme Ainz, it is quite tricky for the adventurer Momo. I didn't expect Xiaolin to be able to hold up a protective shield and walk among the army of undead.

By the way, is this local magic?

Most of the faith magic in YGGDRASIL is to summon angels. He has already confirmed this with those people in [Sunlight Canon], but the protective shield that Xiaolin holds up now seems to be very similar to faith magic, but different from faith magic.

The most important thing is that for some reason, this protective shield... No, Xiaolin now gives him a very dangerous feeling, as if he is his natural enemy.

It's not that Xiaolin has the ability to kill him, but this breath makes him very uncomfortable. He always wants to escape, but his reason suppresses it.

No one who faced the [Sunlight Canon] gave him this feeling!

Perhaps the mastermind behind the scenes didn't expect that someone could break through the army of the dead, or the living could be easily injured by the army of the dead, so there was no ambush along the way, and the three of them came to the center of the cemetery unimpeded.

Came to the ancestral hall at the deepest part of the cemetery.

"What are they doing?"

"Sacrifice...?"

Xiaolin saw several suspicious people in a circle in front of the ancestral hall with the light, as if they were holding a ceremony.

The black robe covering the whole body was uneven in color, rough in texture, and the color of each place was different in depth. There was also a black triangular scarf on the head that could cover the face and only reveal the eyes, and the front end of the wooden staff in the hand was decorated with strange patterns. They were short in stature, and judging from the outline of the body, they should all be men.

Only the man standing in the center, who looked like an undead, showed his face, and his dress was quite impressive. The man held a black stone in his hand and seemed to be concentrating.

"Chiranon."

"Chiranon?"

Hearing Xiaolin say a name that sounded like a certain organization, Ainz whispered back.

"An evil secret organization with strong power and a well-known leader. It is composed of experienced magic chanters. They have caused several tragedies and are regarded as enemies by surrounding countries. In general, it is a notorious organization. No wonder Clementine ran here. I said who bewitched her. It turned out to be the bug of [Chiranon]."

"I see."

In fact, Ainz didn't understand anything. He was just cooperating with Xiaolin.

But from the other party's tone, it can be heard that the evil organization called [Chiranon] seems to be a character that everyone wants to fight?

The ups and downs of the whispers were carried into Xiaolin and Ainz's ears by the wind. The sound was sometimes high and sometimes low and quite coordinated. It sounded like the sound of prayer. However, it didn't feel like a solemn prayer dedicated to the dead, but more like an evil ritual that blasphemed the dead.

You can tell from Kobayashi's increasingly ugly expression.

Blaspheming the dead in front of the priest is almost as serious as defaming the gods you believe in, so Kobayashi naturally can't stand it.

"Are you going to launch a surprise attack?"

"No, the other party has already discovered us."

Although they deliberately avoided the lights during the process, as long as the other party uses night vision, they can probably see them as if they were in the daytime. Moreover, there is basically a spiritual connection between the summoned creatures and the summoners. Since so many undead have been defeated, the enemy should have noticed their approach.

Besides, even if the other party did not use lighting or detection magic, such a bright light ball would be enough to attract the other party's attention, and the other party still did not stop praying to fight back, which proved that they were confident enough.

The three of them also walked over openly. The enemy did not launch an attack, maybe they had something to say, so after this inference, the three of them walked over head-on.

After coming to a place under the light and seeing their clothes again, Kobayashi once again confirmed that they were the evil organization [Chiranon].

Soon, his guess was confirmed.

After they took a stance to meet the enemy, one of them said to the man standing in the center:

"Lord Khajiit, they are here."

"You dare to hold a summoning ceremony in the cemetery to desecrate the dead... You are so brave." Xiaolin lowered his head slightly, his tone slightly gloomy.

"Hmph, I have the final say on whether it is desecration or not! They should feel honored to be able to contribute to my great cause after death. By the way, who are you and how can you break through those undead?" Khajiit, who was standing in the center of the circle, took the initiative to ask.

Momo said: "We are adventurers who have accepted the commission and are looking for the missing boy... You know the name without me saying it, right?"

The group took a little stance, and it was clear from their actions that these people were also accomplices, and were definitely not innocent people who were implicated.

Khajit's old face moved slightly, and after looking around, he asked: "Are you the only ones? Where are the others?"

The mouth of the skull under Ainz's helmet opened slightly.

He was speechless at Khajiit's low intelligence. He could actually ask such a simple question. Maybe he was on guard against an ambush, but his method and means of asking were too poor.

Pointing to Xiao Lin in front of him, he shrugged feebly and replied: "There are only three of us. Thanks to the protection of this priest, we got here unimpeded."

"Say panic, that's impossible!"

What I got was a resounding denial.

Ainz didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he said, "It's up to you whether I believe him or not. Let's get down to business, hand over that boy, Khajiit."

Khajiit glanced at the stupid disciple who called his name, and then asked: "What is your name?"

"Before that, I have something to ask. Is there anyone else there besides you?"

"Just us."

"It's not just you. There should be a guy with a thrust weapon, named...Clementine? Are you trying to attack in secret, or are you hiding because you're afraid of us?"

Ainz continued to provoke the opponent.

At this time, a woman's voice sounded from the direction of the ancestral hall, "Have you investigated those corpses? Are they pretty good at it?"

"No, he was the one who investigated you."

The woman looked in the direction of Ainz's finger, as if she had just discovered him, and shouted: "Oh oh oh! Isn't this my dear Mr. Lin? Long time no see, I miss you so much! I miss you every night I can’t sleep without thinking about it. I have to do some DIY in front of your handsome face before I can fall asleep soundly! ”

The lovely-looking woman's cheeks were slightly red, and her face was shy with expectant eyes, as if she was excited and happy to see her again after a long separation.

Being able to make a woman think about her day and night is something that would make any man proud. However, the madness and darkness in the other person's eyes clearly showed that what she wanted to express was completely opposite.

Xiao Lin raised his hands in a gesture of surrender and said: "Spare me, you are so delusional by a perverted woman. Even if the teachings of Axis Cult are tolerant of any preferences, I still can't handle you."

"Ah, what a shame."

Although she said it was a pity, Clementine's face became distorted, and she smiled until her mouth almost split to the base of her ears. She takes pleasure in seeing others suffer, that's how perverted she is.

Xiao Lin took a deep breath and said to the dark warrior beside him: "According to the plan, Khajiit will be entrusted to you, Mr. Momo."

"I know."

Ainz nodded.

After receiving a clear reply, Xiao Lin turned to Clementine and said, "Let's go, Clementine, let's go over there and catch up on old times."

"Okay, I haven't kissed you and me, Mr. Lin, for a long time. Let's have a pleasant and intimate communication."

Clementine's smile became even more twisted.

The two of them walked out into the cemetery one after the other, and did not stop until they were far away from the ancestral hall.

"It's almost done here."

"Ah, is this the cemetery that Mr. Lin chose for himself? The location is very good?"

"Maybe it was chosen for you."

"Hehe, hehehe, hahaha, hahaha——"

Clementine seemed to have heard some funny joke and couldn't stop laughing. Then at a certain moment, the laughter stopped suddenly, and then he lowered his voice and said with disdain:

"Are you kidding?"

Her mood changes extremely quickly, which is evidence of her complete madness. Soon her gloomy expression melted again, and she said in a brisk tone:

"I'm telling you, could it be that the person I killed in that store was your companion? Shouldn't you be angry because your companion was killed? Or... is it fun to play the role of a novice adventurer and get along well with them?"

"...you know?"

"Isn't that of course? By the way, can the person you sent to follow me be more professional? It's so boring to be discovered all at once. But since you can follow me, then it's okay for me to follow you too, right? ?”

The woman opened her mouth and laughed mockingly, seeming to be mocking his overestimation for daring to follow someone who entered the realm of heroes.

"Did it turn out to be exposed from the beginning?"

Xiao Lin sighed slightly: "In this case, I can also conclude that you killed Peter and the others and turned them into immortals on purpose, right?"

"Pfft——! Pfft hahahahaha!"

Burst of laughter burst out.

Clementine said while laughing: "That's right! What Axis Cult hates the most is the undead! How about it, doesn't it feel great to kill your friends with your own hands? It must be so refreshing to the soul. Tremble! This is a gift I specially prepared for you, so thank me! Hahahaha!”

The laughter was extremely harsh, echoing under the silent night sky, constantly tugging at Xiaolin's heartstrings, making his anger continue to rise.

"Yeah, I understand."

Xiao Lin slowly opened his eyes.

At some point, those eyes were infected with sky blue, crystal clear like pearls, and at the same time, they carried an inexplicable majesty.

"——I accept your provocation!"
