Looking Forward to Another World

The Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, eighth floor.

In this wasteland, there are three terrifying levels.

The first is the guardian of the eighth floor, Victim.

It is an alien that is classified as an angel and looks like a one-meter-long embryo with a long tail and pink skin.

Among the many guardians of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, this alien has the weakest combat power and the lowest level, only level 35.

The reason why it can become the guardian of the eighth floor of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, known as the final line of defense, is that it possesses the strongest special skills.

That is a powerful binding skill that Victim uses as a condition for his own death and will only be triggered after death.

In the past, 1,500 players who had invaded the eighth floor of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick had triggered Victim's special skill. In the end, one by one, they were all affected by the effect of this skill and suffered terrible consequences. Movement impediment.

Because this skill can only be triggered after Victim dies, Victim's level is not high, but it has very important strategic significance.

Therefore, this angel, who is only at level 35, will be granted the status of the eighth-level guardian. He is usually responsible for guarding the final line of defense of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick. He will not be dispatched casually and has become the first barrier to the intruders.

This level is not difficult to pass. As long as you know the information about Victim in advance, do not take action against it, and then use magic to prevent it from committing suicide, then this angel without very strong combat skills will be reduced to just waving flags and shouting from the side. cute thing.

Unfortunately, Li Ge knew the information about Victim, so Victim did not pose any threat to him.

The problem is the next two levels.

That's what's really deadly.

In the eighth floor of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, there is an NPC that, like Gargantua, is usually asleep and can only take action after being activated in advance.

Her name is Rubedo, she is the sister of Albedo, the guardian general, and the strongest individual in the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick.

Shalltear is only the strongest among the Guardians, not counting the uneducated Gargantua, but Rubedo is different. She is truly the strongest in the entire Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick. Compared with her, Shalltear She can only be regarded as a weakling. Even Ainz, who is fully armed and equipped with artifact-level items and many krypton gold items, cannot defeat her.

It is said that this NPC is a character created in a way that is almost buggy, and its creator also spent a lot of money on it.

This shows how strong this NPC is, and it is very likely that it has exceeded Lv.7.

Even this Lubedo is only the second level in the eighth level, and the threat is not as high as the final third level.

The third level is the final means and the final weapon that allows the former "Ainz Ooal Gown" to spend most of his wealth.

They were a group of monsters whose individual strength was even higher than Lubedo's. It was only because of Lubedo's special characteristics that they could not defeat her.

When Li Ge broke into this place, Ainz sent him a [Message].

"...Actually, I don't really want to activate this, because each activation requires a large amount of resources, but since you have already reached this level, it is a rare opportunity, so I will let you see what I am waiting for." Ainz Ooal Gown's most powerful weapon! "

With these words behind him, Ainz cut off the transmission of the [Message] and opened the eighth floor.

Thanks to this, Lige was defeated.

Yes.

He was defeated.

Facing Lubedo and the group of terrifying monsters created with krypton gold, Li Ge fought hard on the eighth floor for more than half an hour, and then he suffered a fatal blow and was forced to activate the God of Meloai. The second effect is the life-saving ability of being able to go back in time and restore oneself to its full state.

In this battle, Li Ge activated the dragon secret treasure obtained from Gazef, which improved the strength of the warrior, and used sword skills and magic methods, whether it was the breath of the sun or decomposition magic, including He used the two weapons of the Hermit and the Fool, as well as all the magic he learned from the Earth World, Akasha Continent and this world, without hiding anything.

Rige also took out a large number of scrolls, short staffs, staffs, magic sealing crystals and other props that he had previously obtained from Ainz. He also sent out a legion of battle machine dolls to assist them. Attacked, but ended up being mercilessly killed. All the machine dolls were smashed, all the props were used up, and all the methods were taken over. In the end, the remaining power of the God of Meloai could only be triggered and a traceback was performed.

It can be said that up to this moment, Li Ge was forced into a desperate situation.

However……

"boom!"

Along with the raging flames rising in the wilderness of the eighth level, Li Ge, who turned into the sun that never sets, is still fighting.

His whole body was burning with unprecedented spectacular flames, and his eyes were bright enough to rival the brilliance emanating from the Meloai God worn around his neck and the Dragon Secret Treasure worn on his right hand. He was obviously forced into a desperate situation, but not only did he not With the intention of retreating, he became more passionate, crazier, and more fearless in attacking the monsters in front of him.

The monsters fought back against him, showing overwhelming strength, leaving scars and blood stains on his body. Soon, Derig was reduced to a near-death state that would not be surprising even if he died suddenly on the spot.

However, under such circumstances, Li Ge still had no intention of retreating at all. His eyes became brighter, the flames on his body became more surging, and his movements did not become sluggish at all. Instead, it seemed that he had finally inspired the fire hidden in his body. His strength is average, his sword swings are getting faster and faster, his sword skills are getting better and better, and even the power of magic used between sword skills seems to have increased.

No, it’s not that the power of magic has increased, but that Li Ge has understood a higher level of magic use in battle, making the use of magic faster, the link more perfect, and the timing of use becoming more and more clever. , posing a far greater threat to the enemy than before, so it feels like the power of magic has become stronger.

In this way, Li Ge became braver and stronger as he fought. Even though the scars on his body accumulated more and more, and the injuries became more and more serious, he did not blink an eye because of this, but became more fanatical, more intense, and more intense. Swinging the knife excitedly.

"Boom boom boom——"

Suddenly, the entire eighth floor was trembling, and the deserted wilderness continued to collapse in the astonishing aftermath of the battle, as if it was a natural disaster.

"————"

In the throne room on the tenth floor of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, all the aliens were looking at the window in mid-air, falling into a state of speechlessness as they watched the fierce battle.

They were all shocked as they watched Li Ge become more and more courageous as he fought, completely ignoring his own condition and fighting bloody battles.

This includes Ainz and the resurrected guardians.

The overwhelming murderous intent and anger disappeared, replaced by a sense of trembling for no reason.

"monster……"

Someone suddenly muttered such a sound, and all the aliens in the throne room shouted one after another as if they had found an outlet.

"That's right! This guy is the monster!"

"Compared to him, what kind of monsters are we?"

"I absolutely don't believe he's human!"

"How could there be such a strong human being?"

"No, being strong is one thing. The really scary thing about this bastard is not the strength at all...!"

"right!"

The aliens were so shocked that they said such words.

Even Shalltear and Albedo, who had previously been extremely hostile to Rige and wanted to kill him with a thousand knives, looked at Rige fighting bloody battles on the eighth floor at this moment, and their emotions were shaken. A fear was replaced.

"Lege Brighaut..."

"This hateful monster...!"

Shalltear and Albedo were whispering through gritted teeth right next to Ainz.

Demiurge, Cocytus, Aura and Mare also fell into silence. Looking at Li Ge on the screen, they felt particularly complicated.

Of course, no matter how complicated their emotions were, they couldn't be more complicated than Ainz.

Ainz, who was sitting on the throne, was reluctant to fall down. Instead, he ignored his injuries time and time again and tenaciously attacked Lubedo and "those" Lige on the eighth floor. Waves of thoughts emerged in his heart. chill.

"Why hasn't he fallen yet?"

"Why can he still fight?"

"Even the 1,500-man expedition team that broke into the eighth floor of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick in the past could not last as long as he did!"

Ainz's bony hands on the armrest clenched tightly.

Especially when he saw Li Ge curling up the corners of his mouth and laughing sincerely in such a desperate situation, his spirit that should have been forced to calm down began to tremble.

Only then did Ainz finally realize a problem.

"Could it be that I provoked a terrifying and powerful enemy to the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick that has never appeared before...?"

Thinking of this, the human part that still remained in Ainz's heart began to cry out, as if he wanted to cry.

"If everyone is still in the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick..."

Ainz couldn't help but think of his past companions, and the forty other players who were called the Supremes along with him.

If they are still here, can we defeat those humans?

Ainz would have answered this question without hesitation.

His companions are the best and the strongest. If they were still there, how could they possibly allow such a coward to run amok in the noble Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick?

However, at this moment, Ainz could no longer give such a definite answer.

He had a premonition.

Even if "Ainz Ooal Gown" reappeared in his prime, he might not be able to defeat the man in front of him.

This is not a question of strength, but something else.

At least, looking at the scene of Li Ge smiling sincerely and fighting in a bloody battle with extremely bright eyes, Ainz could not imagine his side winning.

"hateful!"

The fear in Ainz's heart completely overshadowed his anger, causing him to look at the unconscious people in the throne room.

"It seems that we can no longer keep them here."
