Chapter 518 VS Ainz Ooal Gown

Even so, Ainz didn't plan to rush in directly, otherwise Cocytus's fate would be a true portrayal of him.

Besides, he is a magic chanter, how could he be a brave but foolish warrior?

Ainz began to analyze quickly based on the current situation.

First of all, he took all the world-class props that could be used in the Great Tomb. In the Great Tomb, except for Albedo's [Hell Abyss] - after all, it was given to her by Emerald, and the throne and thermal stone of the Great Tomb, which would not be useful in the next battle, Ainz took all the rest. Including [Hygiea Cup], he also took it back from Demiurge.

He made sufficient preparations and gave Xiaolin enough respect.

Ainz can use more than 700 kinds of magic, and his magic value is far higher than that of ordinary players (because he practiced rare professions, his magic value increased dramatically, breaking the upper limit of ordinary players). This is his advantage.

He must turn this advantage into a winning advantage.

Therefore, in the Great Tomb, all the amplification magic that can be used is used, and the magic power that is lost is replenished with potions.

Ainz, who uses magic to continuously raise barriers to protect himself, feels that he is like a baby without any sense of security, but he does not feel angry or ashamed. His PK aesthetics is to use everything that can be used, even if he kneels down and begs for mercy temporarily, it doesn't matter for victory.

With terrifying magic power surging all over his body, Ainz is enough to be called the end of magic. The man of the abyss, Ainz, is still dressed as a magic chanter.

"Then, I'm leaving!"

Leaving behind a powerful word, he strode into the portal with a group of floor guardians seeing him off.

When Ainz's figure disappeared, Demiurge could no longer bear it.

The thick tail slammed on the ground, and he couldn't help but growl: "Why, why did it become like this! This is the fault of the floor guardians, and the reason is all Cocytus's fault! It is because of his dereliction of duty that Lord Ainz has to go to the battlefield himself. That lord must be very disappointed with us!"

He was angry.

As the commander of the Great Tomb, it was unacceptable for the king to go to the battlefield in person. And Shalltear, Aura, Mare and others all lowered their heads and remained silent, without refuting his words.

"Shut up, Demiurge."

"But-"

"All we can do now is to believe in Lord Ainz! I, Albedo, believe that Lord Ainz will be able to return safely!"

Albedo, the steward of the Great Tomb, the prime minister of the Magic Kingdom, and Ainz's personal secretary, stood up.

At this time, she had to stand up to stabilize the morale of the army. Ainz was fighting outside, how could they, the guardians, be in a state of confusion?

Under Albedo's reprimand, the other guardians gradually calmed down, but at the same time they prayed in their hearts that Ainz would be able to defeat his opponent and return safely.

————

Xiaolin stood there and waited silently.

Since he purified Cocytus, the capital and the surrounding areas of the capital have become quiet. The enemy's army no longer makes deafening noises, and there is no talk of a large army approaching.

But the oppressive atmosphere made everyone understand that this was just the calm before the storm, and what awaited them would be a more violent wave. Even the baby felt this strange dullness and cried continuously.

The residents of the capital curled up in the corner.

For some reason, they did not flee in all directions, but all put their hands together in a prayer posture and knelt in one direction.

——It was the direction where Xiaolin was.

Even the stupidest people knew that the scope of the battle just now was far more than the entire capital, and they had nowhere to escape. The only way to survive was to ask Xiaolin for help.

Blue light spots continuously emerged from them, and then gathered on Xiaolin.

If Xiaolin wanted, he could teleport the people in the capital at any time, but for the next battle, he had to use these people again.

I'm sorry.

He whispered in his heart.

Not long after, a black vortex appeared not far in front of him. He couldn't see the scene inside, but the terrifying magic power was dissipating.

Under the black robe was a pale but not pale skeleton body, with various rings on all ten fingers, and a staff in his right hand - on the spiral staff, there were seven gems of different colors bitten by seven circling snakes, and the magic power emitted was comparable to that of Ainz himself.

Xiaolin knew that the real master had appeared, and he was a little surprised when he saw the person coming.

"Are you here? I didn't expect it to be Ainz-sama. I thought it would be your subordinates."

From the princess, I learned that Ainz has nine floor guardians under him, and their strength is similar to that of Cocytus just now. If all those floor guardians are purified, Xiaolin doesn't know if he can still meet Ainz.

"Hahaha, since I'm invited, how can I escape?"

Ainz's heart was beating fast.

This is his old problem. When he meets an opponent he doesn't know the inside and outside of, he will become extremely cautious.

But there is no need to be particularly afraid.

Xiaolin is the challenger.

As the challenged party, being a strong person is also one of the conditions for winning.

After all, as long as you speak in a low voice, your voice will be magnetic; as long as you speak slowly, you will have temperament; if you dare to pause, you can show your authority.

Don't be nervous at any time, always show a comfortable and relaxed state, and always treat anyone you want to contact as an old friend.

This is social charm.

Speaking of which, Ainz is indeed an old friend of Xiaolin, but it is just a one-sided old friend.

Xiaolin did not expect that Ainz would be so open-minded. Is it because he is a skeleton that he has a mind that ordinary people do not have?

Bowing slightly - the light and shadow swayed, and it looked like bowing.

"Thank you for agreeing to my rude request."

"No. I should thank you for telling me, otherwise my subordinates might be killed."

After Ainz finished speaking, he observed Xiaolin's expression. He wanted to confirm whether Xiaolin was disdainful of Demiurge and other floor guardians as he thought.

Unfortunately, the light and shadow completely enveloped Xiaolin, and he could not see his expression at all. But there was no response, as if to say that it was just like this.

Ainz raised the danger level of Krillin to another level in his mind.

Then he used the detection magic.

[Life Essence]

A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Krillin in the light and shadow.

No.

Absolutely nothing.

Not only did the energy representing the life value appear, but even Krillin himself did not exist. In other words, the Krillin in front of him had a life value of 0.

Is this possible?

Then there is no magic power...

[Magic Essence]

either? !

Did he change his job from a faith priest to a warrior? No, plus the life value is 0, it can't be [Information Cover-up]. Or is the Krillin in front of him already dead?

Ainz was a little unsure.

Xiaolin shuddered, as if he had sensed something, and said, "Could it be... Is Ainz trying to find out my information? Unfortunately, I don't think you can find anything. In fact, I am dead now. No, it should be said that the boundary between life and death has blurred."

"...What do you mean?"

"That is to say, I am neither alive nor dead now, and the relevant magic has no effect."

"I am very interested in what you said. Then, let me do a little experiment."

Ainz spoke slowly, and Xiaolin in front of him shrugged as if he didn't care. Then Ainz stretched out his skeleton hand and grabbed Xiaolin in the direction of where he was. Of course, he didn't really grab Xiaolin, but just pretended.

Then, a beating heart appeared in his palm.

——Ninth-level magic: Heart Mastery.

This is instant death magic. Whether it is human, dragon or monster, they will die after their hearts are crushed.

Ainz crushed the heart without hesitation, but Xiaolin in front of him was not affected at all.

The magic failed... It doesn't seem to be like this.

He could clearly feel the life force flowing through his palm, which meant that the magic had not failed, but had been successfully activated.

After carefully feeling it, Ainz soon understood.

"So that's it, you used the resurrection magic immediately after being killed, right?"

"No, that's not the case. In fact, I just used my life force to pay for the instant death magic. But this can't be used casually. The condition required is to be in the blurred boundary between life and death like now."

"Oh?"

Ainz's red eyes flashed.

This was very useful information for him. His brain began to think frantically, constantly screening the magic he knew, thinking about what methods could be used to restrain such a Xiaolin.

Just when he was silent, Xiaolin asked a strange question.

"Sir Ainz, do you remember the question I asked in the Katze Plains? What do you regard life as? Now, can you tell me?"

"Are you trying to show that you are the righteous side? Or do you really love the people like your own children?"

Ainz looked at the civilians around him who were praying constantly.

I had heard that the Axis believers were frighteningly fanatical, but I didn't expect them to be so fanatical. It was completely different from the way the people in the Fortress City... no, the people in the Sorcerous Kingdom trembled in fear when they saw him.

Ainz sighed deeply.

"Prince Zanak II also asked this question, and my answer was - because there is no benefit. I will do this to make you a sacrifice, so that more people will know how stupid it is to be an enemy of the Sorcerous Kingdom in the future."

"Sorry. Wrong answer."

Lin also sighed deeply.

"I don't want to hear about your demonstration to others, Ainz-sama, or your actions in the so-called awakening. I just want to hear your understanding of life. In my opinion, what you are doing is nothing more than despising life. For your own happiness, you trample on and plunder the lives of others at will."

"Are you trying to say that I did something wrong?"

"No. Everyone has their own way of survival, whether it is conquering the weak or challenging the authority of the strong. What I want to say is that Ainz-sama, you don't understand the meaning of human beings... no, life to powerful individuals. No matter how small, it has its meaning of existence."

Inexplicable!

Ainz only had this thought.

But Xiaolin was not deliberately condemning him or denouncing him as a righteous person. It was more like reminding him and telling him something. However, he could not understand such a charlatan-like statement.

But there was no time to think about this now.

Ainz's eyes flashed red, and he spread his hands and feet to step on the magic circle.

"——Teleportation from above."

He was a magic caster, so of course he had to keep a distance.

However, before Ainz's figure could completely dissipate, it was as if some entity had eliminated the magic effect, and his figure appeared again.

Transmission failed...

Ainz looked around and found that the scenery had not changed at all. This feeling of déjà vu…

Although it didn't happen to him, it also happened to his half-son. Just like the unknown enemy wearing white armor. It should be said that he is a journeyman. When he competes with the magic caster, he always wants to contain the enemy's teleportation magic.

"So--"

He stepped on the already destroyed and unsightly ground, and the dust, air waves and gravel flew outwards, but he could not leave this space no matter what. Ainz seemed to understand why Krillin wanted to thank him.

"Lord Ainz, why do you think I went out of my way to talk to you or even ask you to do experiments?"

"Have you actually made such preparations in advance? A good pre-war arrangement."

Although he was the one trapped now, this did not stop Ainz from admiring Krillin.

In terms of combat, the two are extremely similar.

Kobayashi didn't give him a chance to continue his research. He ducked in front of Ainz and landed his fist hard on the abdominal cavity of Ainz's skeleton - where Mo Moyu was.

Ainz's health and physical defense are at the upper-middle level, and his physical attack and agility are at the lower-middle level, so it's difficult for him to deal with enhanced melee characters.

However, before teleporting, he had already added the power of [Glorious Emerald Body] to himself, completely negating the damage. But for some reason, Ainz still felt like he had been injured, even though his health had not been reduced at all.

This is quite unusual.

Generally speaking, as long as all damage is negated, the additional effects will be meaningless. However, this is not the case with Xiaolin's attack. What exactly that means is unclear.

"What's going on?"

"If I were to say that this is the weight of life, would Sir Ainz think that I am a fool?"

No, no, no, you have already said it, why do you still want to ask others if they are divine?

Ainz couldn't stop complaining in his heart.

"Sir Ainz, I'll give you a piece of advice. Don't trust your own magic. The same applies to your equipment."

"What?"

But he was not given time to think. He only saw Xiaolin's blurry figure in a lunge posture, with his right fist tucked into his lower abdomen. The huge energy was contracting there, and the space was slightly distorted as if it was collapsing.

Ainz had seen this move many times, and it was also the move that killed Cocytus.

boom----

The blue light filled with divine aura roared out again like a wave, completely engulfing Ainz.

The same move as used against Cocytus!

I've been thinking about it all night, but I don't have any good ideas. The update may be stalled during this period, so let me polish the ending more. In addition, reconciliation is impossible.
