Chapter 448 Wait, isn’t this a fantasy medieval setting?
"What?!"
Ainz had not expected this at all, and watched in amazement as his greatsword sliced through the Mercury Hamster’s body as if it were slicing through the air, and then sliced out of its body.
There was no real feeling of hitting an object, as if the opponent's body did not exist.
But this is impossible, the impact force from the opponent's huge body is continuously transmitted from the blocking sword.
Taking advantage of the moment when Ainz was distracted, the long silver tail that attacked him sneakily arrived and lashed at his chest with great force.
Oh no!
Ainz opened his eyes wide in surprise at Longtail's sneak attack. He wanted to counter the attack with an attack, but his own attack was completely ineffective.
puff!!
There was an impact on the chest, but because of the special skills of the race, even if the tail hit the armor, this level of attack was still not enough to cause any damage.
But the impact was unavoidable. Ainz, wearing jet-black armor, leaned on his sword and slid back several steps.
"Poor, poor, too poor!"
The Mercury Hamster that had defeated Ainz laughed arrogantly.
"That's enough!"
Ainz let out a chilling voice, stretched out the greatsword in his right hand towards the Wise King of the Forest, and activated his own ability.
"Aura of Despair!"
Because the maximum level of Despair Aura directly causes instant death, Ainz deliberately weakened the intensity to produce a Lv: 2 panic effect.
Level: 2 despair aura can cause severe fear in the opponent, and the target who falls into panic will be unable to take any combat actions.
In an instant, an invisible gas gushed out from Ainz, and a chilling chill that affected his mind spread in all directions.
But the radiating cold air had no effect when it touched the mercury hamster. After all, it was not a living being and did not have the emotion of fear.
The Mercury Hamster completely ignored the mental attack, charged forward again, turned in mid-air, and lashed out at Ainz with its long silver tail.
clang!
The high-pitched metallic sound was heard once again, and the two swords that Ainz used to block were deflected once again.
Upon closer inspection, the twin swords that looked like heroic weapons actually had tiny cracks on them.
Seeing this, Ainz narrowed his eyes beneath his helmet. Such an attack power was beyond the ability of a warrior to handle.
If judged by the levels in "YGGDRASIL", his current physical attack power is about the same as that of a warrior around level 30.
However, in the game, individual combat power will be greatly affected by magic and equipment, so this cannot be concluded.
But if we judge based on this, the combat capability of the Forest Sage King is definitely more than level 30, and it is very likely that he has reached level 50.
However, what really puzzled Ainz was the feeling of having hit the opponent just now.
"Is it a special ability?"
Ainz frowned his phantom face beneath his helmet. “In this case, it seems I have no choice but to use magic.”
While Ainz was thinking, the Mercury Hamster charged forward again. Although its body looked bloated, its movements did not seem clumsy at all.
The round body rubbed against the air, making a loud noise. The distance of several meters was shortened in the next moment. Ainz's eyes blurred and his sharp claws tore through the air and flew straight to his face.
Ainz leaned back and did a backflip to avoid the claws. At the same time, he crossed his swords and slashed down in an X shape towards the Mercury Hamster.
Swish!
But the attack that could tear the ogre apart with one blow seemed to hit the air and was cut through the mercury hamster's body.
The mercury hamster completely ignored the physical attack, turned its body upside down in mid-air, its long silver tail stretched taut, and a tiny chainsaw suddenly appeared on its tail.
The long, flexible tail suddenly lashed out towards Ainz. Seeing this, Ainz, who was a beat slower, quickly raised his sword to block.
Sizzle!!
A sound like a chainsaw cutting steel was heard, and as Ainz frowned, his magically created swords broke in half with a crack.
In fact, the jet-black armor and the matching twin swords he wears are all created by the magic "Superior Item Creation".
Although it is not as good as a real magic item, it is far superior to ordinary weapons. But at this moment, it was destroyed so easily.
"What? You're not going to use magic yet? Do I have to break all your armor?"
After shattering Ainz's two swords, the Mercury Hamster did not pursue the victory. Instead, it jumped back and stared at Ainz in mockery.
Ainz's heart tightened when he heard this, but when he thought about it, since the other party was known as the Wise King, it seemed that there was no problem in seeing that he was actually a magic caster.
He judged people by their appearance and found that the legendary Wise King of the Forest was a hamster, which was why he was careless and had his two swords shattered.
"Good, you've piqued my interest."
Ignoring the Mercury Hamster’s mockery, Ainz suddenly shouted, “Narberal Gamma, show us the might of Nazarick!”
“Yes, Master Ainz!”
Narberal, who had already stood beside Ainz, replied in a low voice, grabbing his shoulders and pulling down his robe.
“I am Narberal Gamma, a battle maid serving the Absolute Ruler of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, the Supreme Being Ainz Ooal Gown, and one of the Pleiades!”
"You, a lowly creature, should feel honored to be able to fight me!"
In the blink of an eye, Narberal's equipment changed completely.
She wears gauntlets and knee pads made of gold, silver and black metal, and armor designed based on the concept of a manga maid uniform. She wears a white hair accessory on her head instead of a helmet, and holds a cane with gold inside and silver outside.
Narberal's robe contains a crystal for quick changing, so she can switch to pre-set equipment without wasting time changing equipment.
The robe that was taken off previously will be replaced into the storage space, which is very convenient.
Seeing that Narberal had already replaced her equipment, Ainz threw away his broken swords. He stretched out his empty hand and waved calmly, “Then, come here with the understanding that you will die.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the jet-black armor on Ainz disappeared like smoke, revealing a terrifying face underneath.
It was a fleshless and skinless skull, with an evil red light glowing in the empty eye sockets.
Facing the two who suddenly changed their equipment, Mercury Hamster mocked, "Undead and double phantoms? As expected, they are not human."
“…”
Aren’t you also not a human?
Ainz couldn't help but complain in his mind, but because of his skeleton appearance, his inner thoughts could hardly be seen by others.
“Lord Ainz, please allow me to deal with this ignorant bastard!”
Narberal, who had transformed back into a battle maid, pleaded with Ainz, and Ainz nodded in agreement.
With permission, Narberal's hands suddenly gave rise to winding, running dragon-shaped lightning.
"「Second most powerful skill: Chained Dragon Thunder」."
In an instant, a lightning bolt thicker than an arm suddenly shot out and directly hit the mercury hamster who had no chance of dodging.
Bilibilipa!
The blinding lightning illuminated the dark forest, and the surrounding trees were directly turned into debris.
But what is unbelievable is that the mercury hamster in the center of the lightning remained unharmed.
"That's it?"
The lightning on the Mercury Hamster's body suddenly disappeared, and then its long tail bent and pointed towards Narberal.
Crack! !
Suddenly, an arc appeared around the mercury hamster's silvery-white tail, and the circular arc formed a current loop on the slender tail.
The closed electric current coil gradually generates a magnetic field, and the dust around it begins to vibrate.
Seeing this scene, Ainz's eyes glowed red, he was shocked.
Although he was a social animal when he was a human, he actually went to school. The scene in front of him was more like physical science than magic.
His scanty knowledge was reminding him that the other party seemed to be forming an electromagnetic circuit, and doing so was very dangerous!
“Get out of the way!”
Ainz shouted loudly and disappeared instantly. Hearing Ainz's voice, Narberal hurriedly cast a spell.
"Dimensional shift."
Although [Dimensional Movement] is a third-tier magic, for a magic caster, it is an excellent teleportation magic to create distance between themselves and their opponents.
Because it is hard to defend against, it is even stronger than ordinary attack magic.
boom!!!
The next moment, the tip of the mercury hamster's tail glowed red, and a beam of light like a laser cannon suddenly shot forward and disappeared into the forest in front in an instant.
A certain railgun!
Because it is a mercury robot and has just drawn a large amount of electric current, Xia Yu, who is manipulating the robot behind the scenes, directly fires a super-electromagnetic cannon.
The plasma beam that was emitted was dazzling and eye-catching. Wherever the beam passed, tiny arcs of electricity flashed in the air, and everything in front was blasted into pieces.
Long, charred grooves were left on the ground, and a slight smell of burning filled the air. At first glance, it was almost impossible to see the end of the railgun's bombardment.
On the other side, Ainz and Narberal appeared. Looking at the charred path of flashing arcs, Ainz's red eyes flashed with surprise.
Isn't this world a fantasy medieval world? What's up with this extremely incongruous electromagnetic cannon?!
Before the mercury hamster could continue to be surprised, it saw them appear, and its upright tail revealed an electric circuit again, and a red light suddenly burst out.
boom!!!
Another railgun!
Ainz and Narberal used teleportation magic to dodge once again, but this time the attack was much ado about nothing, and the plasma beam caused almost no damage to the surrounding area.
When Ainz and Narberal appeared , the mercury hamster suddenly stretched out its body and bit Narberal's shoulder almost instantly.
As Ainz watched in astonishment, the Mercury Hamster suddenly turned into liquid mercury, wrapping up Narberal completely.
When Narberal attacked the Mercury Hamster before, all the thunder was stored in the Mercury Hamster's body.
After all, it is a robot, so it is normal for it to store electricity.
Now that he had captured Narberal, Xia Yu simply let her have a taste of his magic.
In an instant, thunder erupted.
Crackling!!
The lightning was surging, and the blazing white lightning ball completely enveloped the Mercury Hamster. Because it was conductive, almost all the damage from the lightning strike was transmitted to Narberal.
“Damn it!”
Seeing this, Ainz became anxious, but he had no good solution. If he used offensive magic, it would most likely affect Narberal.
The lightning gradually dimmed. After the lightning struck, the mud below was burned into crystals by the high temperature. Narberal's face was charred and she opened her mouth and spewed out a puff of black smoke.
She has resistance to electricity, so she won't faint when facing electricity attacks.
"asshole!"
Narberal, who was tied up all over, had a ferocious look on her face, and her black eyes were even colder. Being defeated in front of the Supreme Being was undoubtedly the greatest humiliation for her.
But unfortunately, she was restrained and her whole body was wrapped tightly, and she couldn't even move a finger.
"Aura of Despair!"
Until this moment, Ainz, who was watching from the sidelines, shouted coldly and used the maximum level of his passive ability.
Despair Aura Level: 5, instant death effect, the victim dies on the spot, unless the level is too high to be immune.
However, the mercury robot itself is not a living being. Even if it is a silicon-based life form that can be considered a living being, it would probably be immune to the "Aura of Despair".
Almost at the moment when Ainz used the Aura of Despair, the liquid mercury transformed by the Mercury Hamster suddenly drilled into Narberal’s mouth and then entered her body.
The mercury hamster was like a slime at this moment, almost imprisoning Narberal from the inside out. The next moment, the mercury hamster turned into a drill and fell to the ground.
Realizing that the Mercury Hamster was trying to escape, Ainz's heart tightened and he quickly stretched out his hand to aim at the Mercury Hamster.
"Heart Mastery!"
A ninth-tier magic spell that has the effect of squeezing the heart and causing instant death, and has the additional effect of causing the person to become dazed if resisted.
But as the magic was cast, Ainz’s face froze.
No...heart?
The Slime-like Forest King in front of me actually has no heart? !
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the mercury hamster, which had transformed into a drill, sank into the ground and fled underground.
Seeing this, Ainz hastily cast blocking magic again.
"Time stagnates, and the inside is broken!"
These two magics belong to the ninth and tenth levels respectively. Time stagnation can completely stop the opponent's actions and will not cause any harm to the opponent who stops moving.
Therefore, it is necessary to connect the internal destruction magic, which can make the object expand and explode like a balloon.
In such an emergency, in order to avoid accidentally hurting Narberal, Ainz could only use the magic he knew with caution.
puff!!
Apparently, the magic worked this time. The mercury hamster, whose time was stagnant and whose internal organs were broken apart, exploded directly underground.
But before Narberal, who was trapped underground, could escape, the exploded mercury liquid regrouped and bound Narberal again, forcing her to escape deeper into the ground.
Ainz, who sensed the other party's actions, was almost furious, and a green light flashed rapidly on his body.
"The Earth Shatters, the True Death!"
In a blink of an eye, two more spells were cast. The ninth-level instant death spell was still useless. The ground crack that hindered the opponent's escape, although it slowed down the opponent's speed when it was just used, lost its effect in an instant.
In an instant, Ainz lost sight of the Mercury Hamster, and even lost the presence of Narberal!
Swish, swish, swish!
A pale green light kept emanating from Ainz’s body. This was the effect of his forced calmness.
It was precisely because of this effect that Ainz did not raise his hand to cast super-level magic, because he knew that using super-level magic would most likely kill Narberal as well.
Unlike guardians of other classes, although the combat maid corps was also created by his companions, their levels are not high, all around sixty.
It would be impossible for him to be so radical without confirming whether the resurrection method could revive the NPCs of Nazarick.
As long as the person is not dead, he will rescue him no matter what method he uses!
Thinking of this, the frequency of the green light on Ainz's body slowed down. His eyes glowed red and cold, and he raised his hands to his ears.
"All level guardians, listen up! Return to Nazarick immediately and notify all personnel to prepare for the first-level battle!"
