"Damn it, you're buying me time!" Nigan knew that the opponent's strength must be beyond his imagination. After all, a magic caster who could be honored as Your Excellency by the Sword Saint must have strength above the Demon King level. Facing an opponent of this level, he would not be able to keep any trump cards.
“That’s…!” Ainz became alert when he saw what the other party took out. “Demon Sealing Crystal? Albedo, use your special skills to protect me!”
The magic-sealing crystal is a tool that seals magic. Judging from the information on the crystal, it is a high-level magic that summons angels. Ainz immediately thought of the god-man that the swordsman had just mentioned. Could the magic-sealing crystal be able to summon a high-level angel boss?
No, not by how sparkly the crystal is.
It shouldn't reach that level yet.
"Yes!"
Albedo became nervous because of Ainz's words, and Tsukasa beside her couldn't help but quietly grasp the hilt of the sword. For a moment, everyone was facing a powerful enemy.
[Chapter 42: Mighty Lord Angel]
Negan destroyed the crystal in his hand in the prescribed way - it emitted a shining light.
It was as if the hidden sun appeared on the earth, and the surroundings were instantly dyed dazzling white, and a faint fragrance drifted into the nose. The legendary angel came, making Nigan cheer excitedly: "Look! This is the face of the highest-level angel! The Archangel of Glory!"
It was a collection of shining wings. Among the wings, there was a hand holding a tablet that symbolized the king's power, but other than that, the head and feet could not be seen. Although the appearance was very strange, anyone could feel that it was a sacred life form. Because from the moment it appeared, the air around it became quite pure.
The supreme embodiment of kindness caused a frenzy of cheers to break out at the scene, and the subordinates of the Sunlight Scripture were all excited. Faced with the excitement and excitement, Ainz finally managed to squeeze out a sentence: "That... is it? This angel...? Is it the strongest killer move you can use against me?"
Albedo, who was standing next to him, was holding a shield and didn't know whether to step forward to protect the Supreme One, because she felt that doing so would be too disrespectful to the Supreme One. Facing such an ant-like existence, did the great Supreme One really need her protection?
Si, who had just grasped the hilt of the sword, relaxed.
Oh no, she was worried for nothing. This Demon King was probably trying to make fun of her. She wasn't worried at first, because the magic power in the magic crystal was not strong, but she got nervous when she saw the Demon King and his men were so alert. Now that she saw that the summoned familiars were not strong, she knew that her judgment was correct. The Demon King's performance just now was probably to tease his opponent deliberately. Even she was fooled by his superb acting skills.
“That’s right! There’s nothing we can do about being scared, this is what a highest-level angel looks like. It would be a bit of a waste to use him in a place like this, but I judge that you have that value.” Seeing that Ainz Ooal Gown was stuttering when he spoke, Nigan thought that Ainz Ooal Gown was frightened by the archangel he summoned, and his face looked smug.
However, the next moment, his emotions were interrupted by cold words: "It's so boring."
"what?"
Negan couldn't understand why Ainz Ooal Gown dared to say such big words. He was an angel of the highest level, an existence that humans could never defeat. He could even fight against the legendary demon!
He calmed down.
The woman who followed Ainz Ooal Gown looked disdainful. The sword master next to him even crossed his arms, looking like he didn't take the highest-ranking angel seriously.
"I'm so sorry, Albedo. I asked you to use your special skills."
“Don’t say that, Ainz-sama. We don’t know what kind of monster we might summon, so we must try to reduce the possibility of getting hurt.”
"You're right. I didn't expect it to be this far. It's totally unexpected."
Si heard the heart-breaking conversation between the two people from behind and couldn't help but roll his eyes.
If you keep talking, there might not even be a fight, the guy on the other side will be pissed off to death by the two of you.
However, this kind of evil and humorous way of playing is worthy of the evil Demon King. Not only does he want to kill people, but he also wants to make the other party experience what despair is.
"How dare you show such an attitude in front of the highest-ranking angel!"
As expected, Negan was so angry that he started yelling.
"Launch [Extreme Holy Strike!]"
That is magic at the 7th level.
It is magic that cannot be mastered by humans.
Currently, there is no information about the Church except this.
The strongest magic caster in the world is Si's teacher, the chief magic caster of the empire. That old man can use 6th-level magic.
That is the seventh level of magic.
Si shook his head.
All the bells and whistles.
In terms of power, it may not be as powerful as the fireball she used.
Ainz raised his finger.
Magic gathered at his fingertips.
【Black hole.】
In an instant, all the light around was absorbed.
A hole appeared in the angel's body.
Then it slowly turned into a big hole.
The void sucks everything in.
It's jaw-droppingly simple.
It even seems ridiculous.
He couldn't even hold out for a moment.
"..."
Nigan seemed to be stuck in the neck, unable to utter a word. The troops of the Sunlight Scripture also lost all their morale. The main angel they regarded as their faith was destroyed by the enemy in one blow. This blow was enough to make them lose all hope and no longer have the courage to fight.
"Ok?"
Ainz suddenly raised his head and glanced at the horizon.
"It seems someone is trying to spy on you with some kind of intelligence magic, but since I was also within the effect range, the defensive wall that resists offensive intelligence magic worked, so I wasn't being watched... If I had known this would happen, I should have prepared a high-level magic chain to activate it in advance, and strengthened it to have an [Explosion] that can affect a wide range... Maybe..."
Negan couldn't help but shudder.
He understood what Ainz Ooal Gown was saying.
Perhaps only the Sword Saint, Tsukasa, didn't understand because they learned a different magic system. Tsukasa was shocked when she heard Ainz say that someone wanted to use magic to monitor this place. Was there such a convenient magic? As for what Ainz said later, about how to fight back against the monitor, she didn't understand it at all, but she could still guess the general meaning.
"I know, you are the Demon King! Being able to destroy the Archangel with one strike is far beyond the power of the Demon God. Only the legendary Demon King can do it!"
The devil and the devil king.
Ainz memorized these two names.
Perhaps it is also something worth being vigilant about.
"From now on, please come to my Nazarick and be my guest. I will not take your lives easily."
Damn it, this demon wants to get the secrets of the Church from them! Nigan shouted at the Sword Master: "Are you going to go along with the Demon King?"
When Ainz saw him shouting at the Sword Saint, his expression suddenly tensed up, and he clarified himself seriously, "Hey, don't talk nonsense, I don't know anything about the Demon King."
"Sword Saint, the matter between the Church and your family is just an internal matter among our human race. Do you want to cooperate with a demon like the Demon King because of this?"
"Shut up!"
Ainz shouted loudly.
Are you still excited?
I've already said he's not the Demon King!
At this time, he felt that the Sword Master began to move. Although he had turned into a skeleton, he still had a creepy feeling. He and Albedo beside him immediately entered the highest alert state.
However, the Sword Master just walked past them and did not attack them. Si came to Nigan.
"What is the grudge between my family and the Theocracy?"
Negan was stunned.
"You know this, so you..."
He reacted instantly.
Then he laughed.
"You don't know, you don't know!"
"Let's make a deal, Sword Master. As long as you save my life, I will tell you the secret of your family. This information is extremely important to you. If I die, you will never know it!"
[Chapter 43: Manipulating the Soul]
This guy!
When Ainz heard what Negan said, he suddenly wished he could go back in time and kill that bastard!
He let Negan live because he was the captain of the army, but he never expected that this guy actually had secret information about the Sword Master family.
And it seems that even the Sword Saint himself doesn't know that information. This is a big problem. Is it inevitable that we will become enemies with the Sword Saint?
Damn it, is there no way to remedy this? He really doesn't want to be an enemy of the Sword Saint, because if he does, some guardians will definitely be sacrificed, and every guardian is invaluable to him!
“Sword Master, if you are willing to trust me, I can have my interrogator help you get this information.” This was the only solution Ainz could think of.
"Do not."
hateful.
Ainz clenched his fists.
Do we really have to fight?
"No, I can get it myself."
Ok?
Just as Ainz and Albedo were about to enter combat mode, the Sword Master finished speaking.
Si looked at Negan with a cold expression.
Although she didn't know what other secrets the Astraea family had that she didn't know, she didn't want the Demon King and others to know this secret.
Because she couldn't be sure whether this secret would make the Demon King hostile to her. After all, in the legend, the Sword Saint was equivalent to the guardian of mankind. There was also a Sword Saint who helped the thirteen heroes in the Demon War. So in terms of camp, she and the Demon King were in opposition from the beginning.
"You want to torture me? Wishful thinking! Don't underestimate my willpower!" Negan's face changed and he looked at Si fiercely. He would never give in!
"I don't mean to underestimate your willpower, but please don't underestimate me."
A black shadow suddenly rose from the ground.
That was Negan's own shadow.
Negan watched this scene in horror.
He found that he could not move his body and he didn't know when he was paralyzed.
"When did you use magic on me?!"
"Who knows."
Tsukasa did not answer Negan's question.
Negan's shadow reached out and pulled Negan's body open, then entered Negan's body like putting on clothes. Negan's original soul was squeezed out of his body, and she took out a bottle and put it into it, then threw it to Ainz Ooal Gown behind her.
"That's Negan's soul."
"what?"
Ainz looked at the little man in the bottle in his hand.
Hey Hey hey!
How did this swordsman suddenly become so scary? Are you a necromancer or am I a necromancer? And what kind of magic is that?
Never seen it before.
What is the effect?
Just when Ainz's jaw was about to drop beneath his mask, 'Nigan' woke up again and knelt down before the Sword Master: "Nigan Gulide Luin, thank you Master for giving me a new life."
"You should know that information, right?"
"Yes, I have mastered everything about Negan Goodhead Luin, and have broken away from the control of the Theocracy. I have used recovery magic to restore the damage caused by their restrictions on my body. The restrictions on my soul have not affected me. I think it is still in the soul of the original Negan Goodhead Luin." Negan answered without reservation.
really.
The Shadow Demon himself has the talent of possessing another's body.
In the previous experiment of creating Alice, she had vaguely sensed this point. They could absorb all the power of the soul of the object they possessed. And all the curses and other states on the object were retained in the remaining soul of the object. After being possessed, the soul would become extremely weak like an ordinary person, equivalent to a civilian in the previous world.
The subordinates of the Sunshine Scripture were extremely frightened when they saw the appearance of their captain at this moment.
At this moment, the fear that the Sword Master brought to them was even stronger than that of Ainz who defeated them before. After all, Ainz was only strong, but the Sword Master could play with their souls and even take away everything they had.
Stop talking about them.
