Chapter 269: #269 - ·

"What is this?"

Sebas dodged the giant two-headed wolf's attack, a hint of surprise on his aged face as he looked at the mountain-like monster before him.

The black and white butler's uniform was torn at the chest, revealing a deep, bone-exposing wound on his robust muscles.

If he hadn't dodged in time, he would have been torn in half by the monster; even the aftershock of its claws had been enough to wound him, making the power of the direct hit unimaginable.

"Giant Wolf, Fenrir."

Rigrit Eine, a faint smile on her aged face, said to Sebas as she walked onto the giant wolf's head, her body gradually merging with the wolf's head below.

Before Sebas could react, Rigrit Eine had completely fused with the giant wolf.

Her life was completely integrated with the summoned giant wolf.

"Madam, may I ask your name?"

Sebas adjusted his clothes, his chest where the wound had been already healed, his other hand behind his back, asking with aristocratic elegance, looking at Rigrit Eine, only her upper body exposed.

When Sebas saw Rigrit Eine merge with the summoned giant wolf, he knew she had bet her life on this battle, and out of respect for his opponent, Sebas intended to go all out.

"Rigrit Eine, one of the Thirteen Heroes who once saved the world."

"Sebas, butler of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, a respectable opponent, I will remember your name."

"That's very kind of you!"

After hearing Sebas's reply, a smile appeared on Rigrit Eine's aged face; encountering such an opponent at the last moment of her life was a kind of fortune.

The next second, Sebas and Rigrit Eine simultaneously looked up at each other, the mountain-like giant wolf letting out a ferocious roar, both mouths opening, gathering substantial magic power, instantly illuminating the sky as two scarlet magic beams streaked across the horizon.

Sebas, seeing the incoming attack, his eyes turned to dragon eyes, sharp dragon horns sprouting from his head, his body like a cannonball charging straight at the attack, just as the magic beams were about to hit him.

His fist, already fully charged, punched out violently, instantly shattering the two magic beams, exploding in mid-air into dazzling fireworks.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a giant wolf claw appeared above Sebas's head, the sharp claws distorting the space around them, even with several meters of distance, Sebas's dragon-scaled face showed traces of blood.

Bang!

The next second, fist and claw collided, blinding sparks erupting in mid-air, visible shockwaves rippling outwards, instantly blasting apart the clouds closest to them.

"Hmm?"

Just as fist and claw were locked in stalemate, Sebas's terrifying battle instincts sensed a threat, subconsciously reaching behind him, an immense impact coming from his back, a stinging sensation on his dragon-scaled palm.

"You have truly terrifying instincts."

Rigrit Eine, now fused with the giant wolf, looked at Sebas, who had blocked her sneak attack, a hint of solemnity on her aged face, originally thinking this attack would at least seriously injure him, but unexpectedly, he had blocked it even under these circumstances.

Bang! Bang!

As Rigrit Eine spoke, Sebas suddenly exerted force, directly overturning the wolf's claw pressing on his head, and at the same time, his left foot spun around, heavily kicking backwards, the bone tail that had attacked him flying out with the sound of bones breaking.

"Likewise."

Sebas glanced at the wound on his palm, which was already healing, his eyes full of vigilance as he looked at Rigrit Eine above; if he hadn't reacted in time, he would have been seriously injured.

Originally, Sebas hadn't taken Rigrit Eine too seriously, after all, her strength was about the same as the Pleiades, but unexpectedly, after merging with this monster summoned by a World-Class Item, she had become so powerful.

Although this was only temporary strength exchanged for life, he had to get serious.

"Hoo!"

Thinking this, Sebas took a deep breath, and in Rigrit Eine's astonished gaze, he bowed slightly to her in apology, then Sebas opened a dimensional space and took out all the equipment and items that his creator had left him.

"Round two begins, please don't die so easily!"

The next second, Sebas's voice suddenly rang in Rigrit Eine's ears, and when she turned her head, she discovered that Sebas had appeared behind her without her noticing, while the Sebas figure below was slowly dissipating, a phantom left behind by high-speed movement.

"Heh!"

A punch was thrown, the air in front of him instantly reduced to nothingness, the space compressed, this was Sebas's strongest attack, without any fancy skill effects, only pure, ultimate attack power.

Boom!

In an instant, a terrifying roar suddenly rang out in the sky, even the armies fighting below were affected, each subconsciously looking up at the sky, only to see a fist mark nearly tens of meters long appearing in the sky, the clouds split in two, churning continuously... the entire sky seemed to have cracked open.

Bang!

Just then, some demi-humans riding on magical beasts suddenly changed their expressions, frantically beating the beasts beneath them, trying to drive them away, but the battlefield, already crowded with countless soldiers, had nowhere to escape, and in the desperate gazes of many magical beasts and demi-humans, the behemoth falling from the sky crashed to the ground, countless blood and minced meat scattering in all directions.

With this one blow, at least nearly tens of thousands of soldiers of the Re-Estize Kingdom died; in front of the strong, the weak were like ants, and the other party's casual action was as terrifying as a natural disaster to the weak.

"Awoo!"

Just as many demi-human and magical beast soldiers on the battlefield were trembling as they looked at the fallen behemoth, suddenly the giant wolf lying on the ground moved, its massive body standing up again, one of its original two heads completely gone, a large amount of blood spurting from the broken neck.

The next second, the severely injured giant wolf lowered its remaining head, its crazed beast eyes fixed on the dead bodies beneath it, its fanged maw opening to the extreme, and in an instant, everyone on the battlefield felt the speed of air movement increase.

But in reality, countless corpses were constantly flying from the ground into the giant wolf's bottomless maw, and even undead and demi-human soldiers who were too close screamed as they flew in.

In just a few seconds, nearly one hundred thousand corpses and tens of thousands of soldiers had been devoured, and with the replenishment of a large amount of nutrients, countless thick blood vessels intertwined and grew on the giant wolf's neck, and a brand new wolf head reappeared.

Upon the wolf's head, Rigrit Eine looked towards Sebas in the sky with lingering fear, her face devoid of expression, appearing as if he were looking this way. Just now, if she hadn't completely merged with the giant wolf, she would have been utterly dead, her very soul reduced to dust by that attack.

"Not bad, that recovery ability. But how many more times can you recover?"

In the sky, Sebas flexed his hand encased in the Divine class gauntlet, his tone filled with indifference and cruelty.

"At least, before the war ends, I won't die so easily."

With that, Rigrit Eine controlled the giant wolf beneath her, charging towards Sebas in the sky. The giant wolf's massive, powerful limbs ran through the void as if on flat ground, its speed increasing, leaving trails of afterimages behind.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, the speeding giant wolf let out a deafening roar. The bone-like giant tail on its back split into dozens of strands, the tips of the tails emitting a ghostly green light as they struck towards Sebas.

"Hm?"

Seeing the dozens of giant tails coming at him, Sebas, who was about to strike them away, suddenly changed his expression. A muffled groan came from his chest. Looking down, he realized that one of the giant tails had evaded his intuition, directly piercing his chest after traversing hundreds of meters through space.

"High-level spatial ability!"

Without time to consider why the opponent possessed high-level spatial ability, Sebas shattered the bone tail in front of his chest with a single blow, his body rapidly retreating.

"Cough, cough!"

On the opposite side, Rigrit Eine, looking even older, coughed up large mouthfuls of blood. A silver-white bracelet on her wrist silently shattered, but Rigrit Eine didn't even bother to glance at it, frantically driving the giant wolf to attack Sebas.

Her time was running out. She absolutely couldn't waste this opportunity that she had barely managed to seize with a top-tier item. Even if she couldn't kill Sebas, she had to at least incapacitate him. Only then would they have a better chance of winning this war.

Just as Sebas and Rigrit Eine's battle grew increasingly fierce, Shaltear, relying on the Unclean Barrier, finally broke through layers of magical barriers ten thousand meters above to meet the Platinum Dragon Lord.

In the high sky, the Platinum Dragon Lord's silver-white dragon body shimmered with dazzling light, each flap of his massive dragon wings filled with a sense of power. Even before the battle began, Shaltear was already excited, her already extreme speed subtly increasing once more.

"Let's fight to the death!"

Looking at the approaching Platinum Dragon Lord, a bloodthirsty desire completely filled Shaltear's heart. Her delicate and lovely face now revealed an incredibly twisted smile, one arm raised high as terrifying magic continuously gathered, forming a light spear nearly tens of meters long.

Suddenly, just then, the Platinum Dragon Lord, who had been circling above, suddenly lowered his head to look at Shaltear, a ferocious dragon grin slightly revealing itself, a powerful magic that instinctively frightened Shaltear suddenly appearing in front.

"Ultimate Great Explosion!"

The next second, endless light illuminated the sky, even dimming the high-hanging sun by a few degrees. Shaltear, caught off guard and struck in the face by the Platinum Dragon Lord's ultimate move, had completely lost sensation in her body, her eyes only able to see the world around her completely transformed into light.

This was the Platinum Dragon Lord's strongest Origin Magic, [Ultimate Great Explosion], possessing unparalleled power, and only World-Class Items could recover from the death or damage caused by the Ultimate Great Explosion; other items and abilities were completely ineffective.

When the light disappeared, Shaltear's figure reappeared, but her aura was now extremely weak. Her original white skin had turned pitch black, and her crimson armor was tattered, constantly peeling off her body.

Moreover, after the armor peeled off, the carbonized body inside was exposed to the air.

"Shaltear!"

Just as Shaltear was about to fall, Albedo, fully armed, appeared beside her, reaching out to gently embrace the severely injured Shaltear. After confirming that Shaltear still had a trace of life, Albedo breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ainz-sama, how is she?"

Following closely behind, Ainz Ooal Gown also appeared, looking at Shaltear, nearly carbonized, in Albedo's arms, the tall skeletal body constantly emanating waves of green light, a tangible aura of despair enveloping his surroundings.

At this moment, looking at Shaltear in this state, and recalling what the Platinum Dragon Lord had done to Demiurge and Cocytus, the fire of anger and killing intent in Ainz Ooal Gown's heart had been completely ignited.

"Ainz-sama, Shaltear is still alive, but the injuries on her body are not self-healing, as if some force is preventing it."

"It's good that she's still alive; leave the rest to me."

With that, Ainz Ooal Gown took Shaltear, and as a veteran player, he understood Shaltear's situation after only a slight thought, taking out a World-Class Item to clear the negative status effects on Shaltear.

"Nabe, take Shaltear to the battlefield below; Shaltear's injuries will quickly recover there."

"Yes!"

Nabe, who had just been summoned by Ainz Ooal Gown, nodded, picked up the severely injured Shaltear, and flew towards the battlefield below. At this time, the negative status effects on Shaltear had disappeared. With the abilities of the Divine class spear, plus the countless soldiers of the Re-Estize Kingdom, it was only a matter of time before Shaltear fully recovered.

"Then, is it our turn next?"

After confirming that Nabe had taken Shaltear far enough away, Ainz Ooal Gown finally raised his head to look at the Platinum Dragon Lord staring at him above. As for why the Platinum Dragon Lord didn't take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, it was entirely because Demiurge, Cocytus, Mare, and Aura, the four Floor Guardians, were standing in front of him.

Originally, Ainz Ooal Gown had planned to secretly hide himself, including Albedo and the other five Guardians, and after Shaltear had completely attracted the Platinum Dragon Lord's attention, directly launch a full-force sneak attack to kill the opponent.

Who would have thought that the Platinum Dragon Lord would be so dishonorable, immediately opening with a big move and instantly killing Shaltear, forcing Ainz Ooal Gown and the others to show themselves.

"Evil being attempting to destroy the world, I will completely eliminate you here!"

Faced with the Platinum Dragon Lord's majestic voice, Ainz Ooal Gown didn't say anything, silently retreating behind Albedo, a giant magic circle beginning to emerge, calmly preparing a Super-Tier Magic.

Above, seeing that Ainz Ooal Gown had no intention of talking to him, the Platinum Dragon Lord didn't say anything more, roaring and charging towards Ainz Ooal Gown, while a giant teleportation gate reappeared beside him, several Dragon Lords between levels seventy and eighty flying out.

The great battle then began, both sides silently engaging in a life-and-death struggle.
