Nazarick also had that kind of item, so he knew very well how powerful it was. Ainz Ooal Gown silently memorized this information. At the same time, he had another question, which was what a 'god-man' was. Being able to be placed on the same level as a world item, it must be something that should not be underestimated. Is it a human?
Could it be a boss of the main god level or something? With world items and world bosses, the Silian Theocracy is really powerful. However, these are all settings in "Yggdrasill". What is the relationship between the Silian Theocracy and "Yggdrasill"? The skill of this mage unit to summon angels is also a skill in "Yggdrasill".
As Tsukasa and Ainz were observing the battle and thinking about the Silian Theocracy, the village chief of Kahn Village carefully walked up to Ainz and said worriedly, "My benefactor, is this really a good idea? That's Warrior Captain Stroronov. If people knew that we didn't save the Warrior Captain, I'm afraid..."
Ainz raised his hand to stop the village chief from saying anything.
"That was the Warrior Captain's own choice."
"The Theocracy's target has been the Warrior Captain from the beginning. If the Warrior Captain doesn't go out to face the enemy, the Theocracy will not let this village go. It is precisely because he knew this that the Warrior Captain chose to go. If you want to protect the Warrior Captain, you will have to fight against the Silian Theocracy's mage troops, but the result will probably be total annihilation. You cannot defeat the Theocracy's troops that can summon the Angel of Fire."
Ainz's meaning was clear enough.
There was no room for the Kahn Village to intervene.
The village chief looked at Ainz hesitantly.
If it was this powerful magic caster, he would have been able to save the Warrior Captain. But he couldn't ask for this, because there was no reason for this gentleman to do such a thing. As for paying him, he knew that the reward he had given to this gentleman was not enough. He couldn't ask his savior to do more for them. But if the Warrior Captain died here, the bigwigs in the kingdom would definitely not let the Kahn Village go if they got angry.
"Don't worry, I promise to protect this village, absolutely." Ainz saw the uneasiness of the village chief and could probably guess what he was worried about. It was not uncommon for superiors to vent their anger on others in the workplace. The warrior leader of the kingdom died nearby, and the kingdom, unable to retaliate against the Church, would most likely vent its anger on the village of Carne and this passing magic caster. As for the sword master, this weak kingdom probably didn't have the courage to retaliate against him.
[Chapter 39: The End of the Warrior Chief]
Six consecutive cuts!
Six angels shattered into pieces of light at the same time.
The warrior captain completed six kills in the first encounter, which encouraged the soldiers behind him and their originally low morale instantly rose a lot.
When the enemy saw how powerful the warrior captain was, the soldiers of the Theocracy were greatly frightened.
The Sunlight Canon was originally composed of mages, and was not good at direct confrontations with the enemy. In such direct confrontations, it was difficult for ordinary mages to calm down and cast magic. Under normal circumstances, the enemy would not give them the opportunity to cast magic. If the warrior leader had not brought too few men and horses at the moment and could not form an effective charge formation, this would have been enough to tear open a big hole.
But just as the warrior leader was about to attack the enemy commander, a voice came from the enemy center: "Don't panic, use the angel summoning technique again, keep fighting, and use up his strength."
The warrior leader's mood sank when he heard this voice. Their only chance of winning was to take advantage of the enemy's underestimation of the enemy and rush to the enemy commander as quickly as possible to defeat him. However, the enemy commander was a very timid guy. Although his number was several times theirs, he did not face their charge head-on, but instead summoned angels to consume their physical strength.
He heard screams from behind him and had no time to turn back to check on his subordinates. He rushed into the enemy's formation without thinking and was soon surrounded by a large number of fire angels. Looking at the more than 30 angels, the warrior leader's breathing became a little heavy.
If there were less than ten angels, he might be able to handle it, but if there were more than 30 angels attacking at the same time, he didn't think any warrior would be able to fight back. Just as he was thinking this, the face of the young swordsman flashed before his eyes.
No, if it were a sword master, he would be able to break the dilemma even if he encountered such a situation.
Just as the Flame Angel's attack was about to fall on the Warrior Captain, Gazef recalled his previous match with the Sword Master, when the Sword Master used the Six Light Slashes to counterattack.
That was not just a martial arts imitation, but a brand new martial arts derived from his original martial arts. There was a final round of attack after the six consecutive strikes. Gazef was surprised to see the sword light in his memory being unleashed from his hand. The six consecutive strikes drove his body forward like flowing water.
At that moment, the warrior leader seemed to have turned into a flash of light and rushed out of the encirclement from the shattered light of the angels. He did not kill all the surrounding angels, but simply found a gap and used it to
The martial arts completed the breakthrough and penetrated to the vicinity of the enemy commander. There, a man looked at Gazef in shock as he broke out of the encirclement. That man was the enemy commander. Gazef endured the pain caused by the use of martial arts and instantly used another martial arts.
Instant reflection!
The effect of this martial arts skill is to force the player to return to the martial arts skill level before the attack after the attack.
In other words, Gazef had the possibility to attack again. This allowed him to use the second half of the martial arts skill, the ultimate attack after the six consecutive slashes were accelerated! The last and strongest slash.
Gazef did not have the swordsmanship talent of a swordsman. Therefore, he could not complete this martial art alone - [Six Light Slashes·Inner Sword Style]. However, in a desperate situation, his potential was stimulated. He used the martial arts effect of instant reflection to force himself into the last Inner Sword Style after the six consecutive slashes, completing this amazing martial art!
Won!
Gazef’s eyes glowed with a burning light.
"Damn it, don't underestimate me!"
The captain of the Sunshine Festival, Nigan, saw Gazef's eyes and was angered. Gazef just broke through the siege of the angels and came in front of him. Did he really think he won? Indeed, he admitted that the martial arts that Gazef just used was very wonderful, and it could have a place even in the strongest army of the Theocracy, the Black Scripture. But don't think he can't see that Gazef didn't perform this martial arts to its full potential!
Is this last sword underestimating him?
This powerless sword is also trying to kill him, Negan Gulide Luin?
Kill him, the captain of one of the six colors? !
Just as Gazef rushed to Negan, an invisible impact erupted from him. He could no longer bear the overdrawn energy and spat out blood. Then an angel hit him in the back, pinning him to the ground. His spirit was subjected to an extremely severe impact at this moment.
"Ugh!"
It was originally a martial art that was used forcefully. After being interrupted, the strong side effects instantly caused severe pain. Even a person like Gazef couldn't help but scream. He didn't have many injuries from the angel, but he had quite serious injuries. That was the result of his serious overdraw of physical strength.
“You courted your own destruction and forcefully used a skill that exceeded your capacity, which led to this consequence. I don’t know where you learned this martial art from, but if you had really performed it, I’d probably be a corpse now. Gazef Stronoff, you are indeed an obstacle standing in the way of our plans. It’s a pity that apart from you, no one else will be able to reproduce such a martial art.” Negan looked at Gazef lying on the ground and did not step forward. Instead, he asked his subordinates to join him in letting the angels end Gazef Stronoff’s life. He was really a very cowardly guy.
When Gazef heard what Negan said, even though he couldn't move a finger, he couldn't help laughing at this moment. He said, "You will see it, because the creator of this martial art is in that village."
"What a frivolous threat. If such a person really existed, he would not have let you come here alone to die. You just want to scare us off and ask us to spare the village. Unfortunately, they saw the battle and knew our identities, so they will surely die next. And this is all your fault. Gazef Stronoff, your sacrifice is meaningless. If you really loved your country, you should have abandoned the village and fled. Your life alone is more precious than all of theirs combined. I'm sure you understand this simple truth."
“I have nothing in common with people like you…” Gazef said he didn’t understand.
"How stupid."
Negan didn't care about Gazef's attitude, because the warrior captain would be dead next.
Angels surrounded Gazef, and the next moment, endless light pierced through the warrior leader's body. The warrior leader of the kingdom was killed by the Sunlight Scripture Troops of the Theocracy. After killing Gazef, Nigan had the warrior leader's body collected.
Considering that Gazef was a great man after all, there was no need to destroy the body. Besides, he didn't think anyone could take Gazef's body from his troops, so there was no need to worry about resurrection magic.
"Then, we will march towards that village and leave no one alive. Since the warrior-chief of the kingdom is willing to sacrifice himself to protect them, let them be buried with him."
The Sunlight Scripture troops advanced towards Kahn Village.
[Chapter 40: Deciding Life and Death]
"Stupid commander."
Ainz stood at the gate of Karn Village, facing the Sunshine Festival troops, and taunted the commander of the army by name, "Warrior Captain, I kindly reminded you, but you still stepped into this territory without knowing the consequences. This place has just been included in the protection of Nazarick. Invading Karn Village means becoming an enemy of Nazarick and me, Ainz Ooal Gown. I believe you are prepared. - Death Knight! Crush the enemy!"
“Ohhhhhhhhhh——!” The Death Knight, emitting fear magic all over his body, pounced towards the army. Nigan was just about to question the identity of the magic caster, but he didn’t expect the other party to suddenly call out a high-level undead to attack them. The troops in the front row were crushed by the roaring Death Knight before they could react.
The undead was chopped away like a gust of black wind, instantly tearing through their troops and starting to kill mercilessly.
The vanguard troops suddenly panicked. Their army did not have any vanguard professions. They were either priests or mages. Even if some priests could barely do the vanguard work, it was still too difficult for them to deal with the Death Knights who were higher level than them.
The whole army was in chaos for a moment. Negan shouted from the back: "Calm down! Let the angels surround them! Then use holy water! They are just undead creatures. As God's representatives on earth, how can we be afraid of such corrupt undead creatures!"
Although the Death Knight's impact was indeed very strong, causing heavy losses to the Sunshine Canon army, it was only a Death Knight after all. After falling into the enemy's camp, it was quickly surrounded by angels. Coupled with the attack of holy water, the Death Knight's roar began to sound like screams.
The undead originally possessed the skill of immunity to pain, but there is always a nemesis for every thing. The sacred attributes of holy water and angels are the nemesis of the undead and can cause huge damage to the Death Knight's weaknesses.
Ainz Ooal Gown saw the Death Knight being surrounded and beaten, and he had no intention of helping him. Even if the Sunlight Scripture temporarily controlled the rhythm, it would still take some time to wear down the Death Knight's health.
"Is that all?"
Ainz was waiting for the opponent to use his trump card.
Although the commander had not shown any tricks worthy of attention, after knowing that the Theocracy might have world items, this level of probing was necessary. Because the effects of world items can mostly ignore the level difference, if the opponent happened to have such items, then even if he and Albedo took action, there would be a risk of failure.
That's why he asked the Death Knight to test it.
After all, the Death Knight was just a familiar summoned by him, so he wouldn't feel bad even if he died. But it looked like the commander of this unit didn't carry any world items.
But it was true. If he was the ruler of the Theocracy, he would not give such a precious item to this army. They were so weak. What if the precious item was placed in their hands and was snatched away by the enemy? This was very likely to happen.
It's time to end this game.
Ainz thought of this and looked at the Sword Saint beside him.
Although he didn't want to continue fighting with the Sunshine Scripture, he didn't know what the Sword Master was thinking.
According to his idea, of course, he would wipe out the entire army and then leave a few survivors to take back for experiments.
But the Sword Master might have other ideas. After all, the Church's action this time was entirely aimed at dealing with the Kingdom's Warrior-Captain. Maybe they had reached some kind of agreement with the Empire's top brass.
Maybe the Sword Master just happened to not know about this, but if when he was about to kill, the opponent suddenly took out something and made the Sword Master turn against the opponent, then this would be very fatal.
"Death Knight, enough of the probing, come back." Upon hearing Ainz's order, the Death Knight immediately broke out of the encirclement and ran away.
Although Sunlight Scripture wanted to continue the pursuit, it became conflicted when it saw Ainz Ooal Gown and Albedo behind him.
Nigan's expression kept changing, as if he had guessed something from Ainz's behavior, but he still couldn't make up his mind. At this time, Ainz said, "Then the last question is, is the Theocracy's actions related to the Empire? Based on your answers, I will decide whether you live or die."
Nigan was disturbed when he saw his sacrificed subordinates, but he still asked calmly: "Who are you? To be able to summon undead of this level, you must be no unknown person. Do you really want to stand in front of us and become an enemy of the great Theocracy?!"
“I was the one who asked the question in advance.” The magic power surging from Ainz's body changed the color of the sky. The originally clear sky became dark, and he looked just like the legendary demon god who destroyed the world.
impossible!
Negan shouted in his heart that he didn't believe it. How could the demon reappear on the ground? He suspected that this was just a trick of the other party. Perhaps the undead knight was just a familiar that the other party got by chance. But thinking of the attitude and confidence shown by the magic chanter, he really couldn't say for sure that the other party's actions were just acting. But why did he mention the Empire? Could it be that this magic chanter had some relationship with the Empire? Thinking of this, Negan had an idea.
"This matter has nothing to do with the Empire. Why bother yourself with trouble? These villagers are not worth that much at all." Negan just finished speaking.
The magic chanter suddenly turned around and said to a figure next to him, "That's what he answered. So, Sword Saint, there's no problem in dealing with these people according to our rules."
Negan's eyes widened.
He didn't even notice that there was a person standing there?! There was no cover, but under the aura of the magic caster, the person seemed to be non-existent. It's not that he was so weak that people ignored him, but that person's presence was almost non-existent, that was the effect of some skill! And the magic caster called the other person a sword saint! In this world, the only one who dared to call himself a sword saint was the legendary imperial sword saint!
Other sword masters did not dare to call themselves sword masters, and they had to add other titles before the title of sword master.
The sword master gained his reputation through killing.
Perhaps only a few people in the human world knew about the deeds of the Sword Saint, but among the alien races, the Sword Saint of humans was as invincible as the God of War. The Church was naturally very clear about these things, and even the current legends were originally the versions that were changed by the Church. No one knew the truth better than them.
As for why Negan happened to know about this matter, it was because the top leaders of the Church had just held a meeting to discuss matters concerning the Sword Master not long ago.
After hearing the news that the current Sword Saint had defeated the Demon King, the Theocracy immediately held a meeting to discuss the matter.
During the meeting.
The story of the first Sword Master was brought up again. Negan barely managed to get to the edge of the meeting, only to find out that the legend about the first Sword Master was actually true, and it was even a weakened version.
The first generation Sword Saint was not an opponent of the same level as the Eight Desire Kings, because the Sword Saint alone forced back the alliance of the Eight Desire Kings, and then helped the founding emperor of the empire to establish the empire. What made him feel even more absurd was that the last pillar god among their six gods died in the hands of the Eight Desire Kings afterwards.
[Chapter 41: Facing a formidable enemy]
The content of that church meeting was simple.
That is to suspect that the Sword Saint of this generation may have awakened the hidden power in his blood. According to the will of the last of the six gods, the Sword Saint was not a native of this world, but a wanderer who was washed into this world by the turbulence of time and space. The Sword Saint has a power called "World Protection". It is a bonus from the world, a super-standard power.
The Sword Master once mentioned that although he wandered to this world, he possessed a blessing that allowed him to return to his original world, so he would not stay in this world for too long.
And it turned out that the Sword Master was not lying, for he suddenly disappeared and returned to his own world.
But the Sword Saint himself might not have thought that it was just a drunken experience that left him with offspring in this world. That was the calculation of the emperor of the empire. After all, the establishment of the empire was closely related to the power of the Sword Saint. So after knowing that the Sword Saint would leave sooner or later, the emperor set up the drinking party.
And without the Sword Saint himself knowing, he let his sister obtain the Sword Saint's seed and established the Astraea family.
The descendants of the Sword Saint indeed showed superhuman swordsmanship, but the power called World Protection had become much weaker. The high-ranking officials of the Church had been secretly observing the Astraea family. Once they encountered a Sword Saint with strong talent, they would secretly send people to contact them. If they were willing to submit to the Church, it would be fine, but if they disagreed, they would have to be eliminated. In fact, every generation of Sword Saints would die strangely due to accidents, and these things were basically done by the Church.
Moreover, the Church once captured a sword master alive for experimentation, and even gave birth to offspring.
Si Astraea's parents also died in a trap set by the Theocracy. As for this girl, everyone thought she did not inherit the talent of the Sword Saint. No one even taught her swordsmanship, and she did not make any progress in learning magic. Although she seemed to have a high learning ability, it would be meaningless if she could not release magic stably even if she learned it.
No one could have imagined that just when they had relaxed their attention on this girl, she suddenly showed her terrifying talent and killed the Goblin King, a legendary demon king, on her first outing!
Now things are going to be tricky.
So the meeting discussed how to deal with this sword saint, and the focus of the discussion was what the sword saint's protection was, how many protections she had, and how many people were needed to defeat this sword saint?
In the end, due to the lack of key intelligence and the fact that the Astraea family would only take action when the empire was in danger of extinction, there was no impact on the Theocracy for the time being, and there was no follow-up.
Moreover, the Church now has people who are not inferior to the Sword Saint. Some people even think that the monster of the Church may not lose even if it faces the first generation Sword Saint, so the treatment of the Sword Saint has been temporarily shelved.
Negan really didn't expect that he would meet this sword master on this trip. This was not in his plan at all.
The Sword Saint heard the magic caster's words and said, "Please do as you please, sir."
"It seems your fate has been decided."
After hearing the words of the Sword Master, Ainz finally let go of the worry in his heart. Now he could defeat this Theocracy's army without any worries and dig out intelligence about the Silan Theocracy from their heads!
Especially the information about the world items, he wanted to dig out all of them! Is it a world item? If it is a world item, what is the name of the world item? And he was very curious about where these world items came from. You know, there are only 200 world items in "YGGDRASIL". Unless a player traveled to this world before him, it is impossible for the world items to appear in this other world. What is the truth? Let him torture these people's brains!
"Sword Saint! Do you want to be an enemy of our Silian Theocracy?!" Nigan shouted nervously. He even suspected that the Sword Saint knew the truth and knew that his parents were killed by the trap set by the Theocracy, so he ambushed them here.
The sword master had no expression on his face, and then Nigan heard her say, "Oh?
You didn't know I was here, it seems I misunderstood. But what you said is not true, because it was Ainz-sama who killed you, and I had nothing to do with it. "
Si looked at Nigan's crazy face and expressed sympathy. This poor commander was probably just a pawn of the wise man, and he didn't know the truth of the plan at all. Now it's not that she wants to be an enemy of the Church, it's the Church that calculated her first. And she really doesn't think that the Church will deal with her first. Compared with the threat of the Demon King, she, the sword master, doesn't cause trouble, there is no reason for the Church to deal with her first. And the policy of the Church is to deal with aliens first. She is a human, and the Demon King is an undead. Is there any need to think about who the Church will deal with first?
Besides, she is alone. If the Theocracy intends to deal with her, can't she hide? As for the survival of the empire? What does the survival of the empire have to do with her? You are thinking too much. Do you think she will shed a tear of sympathy when she sees the empire fall? So she doesn't care about Negan's threat at all.
“That’s right, the one who killed you was me, Ainz Ooal Gown. Feel honored, right?” The Demon King seemed quite happy. Perhaps this was his true nature?
Si looked at the other party.
At this moment, Ainz, who had just finished speaking, wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. This sword master was so sinister, but for the information in these people's heads.
He admitted this matter.
