Looking Forward to Another World

Chapter 378 People who fall into darkness

At the northwest end of the continent, there is the grassland at the junction of the three kingdoms: the Kingdom of Li Yestije, the Bahas Empire, and the Silian Theocracy.

This prairie that Li Ge had visited twice had become different from before after more than two months.

This place is no longer an endless flat terrain, but there are many raised mounds of soil. On the mounds are grown plants with low pointed leaves like those in the grassland. It feels as if they have existed here a long time ago. People feel that the terrain around here has been like this since the beginning.

In fact, naturally this is not the case.

This terrain was deliberately shaped by the people of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick with the power of magic in order to cover up the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick that also existed on this grassland.

Because of the existence of these mounds, the originally vast grassland turned into a land with countless bunkers, and it was impossible to see any buildings here.

Thanks to this, the cemetery on the surface of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick is surrounded by mounds of earth and hidden within. Unless you fly over in mid-air and look down, you cannot see the existence of that cemetery. of.

Of course, even if you look down from mid-air, you can't see the cemetery on the surface of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick.

The reason is very simple. An illusion barrier has been deployed in the sky above here. Unless you are close to a certain level, you cannot see the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick that exists here.

Under such heavy cover-ups, perhaps only those who belong to the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick would know what exists here and know how to enter their stronghold.

Therefore, when the two figures appeared here at the same time, their identities could be basically determined, and they would definitely not be other than the people from the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick.

"Ahem...!"

Demiurge held his bleeding chest and couldn't help coughing the moment he appeared.

"Are you okay?"

Cocytus was supporting Demiurge like this. The carapace-like armor on his body had also been completely destroyed. His appearance was terrible, but he still looked much better than Demiurge.

"It's okay." Demiurge wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with a gloomy expression: "It seems that I still underestimated the power of Li Ge Brighaut. His power can cause harm to a demon like me." The damage is really too high and it cannot be completely cured in a short time.”

"...I will let you use the scroll I carry with me. What is sealed in the scroll is [Great Healing], a sixth-level advanced healing magic." Cocytus said in a deep voice: "That is already on hand. The best healing magic scroll ever."

"I know, it's okay, Cocytus." Demiurge would only use a gentle tone when facing his own people, and said to his colleagues: "As long as you can temporarily escape the state of death, , so that I have the ability to move, that is enough."

"This level of injury is nothing compared to the current situation."

Thinking of the serious situation in front of him, Demiurge's expression became a little gloomier.

"Let's go." Cocytus also understood the seriousness of the situation and stopped talking nonsense and said directly: "Let's go back first."

Demiurge nodded.

The two immediately entered the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, passed through the illusion barrier, and came to a cemetery.

Their target was the largest and solemn central temple in the cemetery, which was the only entrance to the interior of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick.

When the two came here, someone was already waiting here.

"Demiurge!"

"Co-Cocytus!"

The people who were calling the two of them were the Dark Elf Twins who were also guardians with them, the people who had surrounded Lige in the prairie with Albedo, Shalltear, Demiurge and others—— Aura Bella Fiora and Mare Belo Fiore.

The two guardians of the sixth floor of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick also had tense faces at this moment, obviously knowing what happened.

Seeing this, Demiurge did not explain anything more, but just asked the two of them.

"Is your lord back?"

Hearing this, Aura and Mare nodded one after another.

"is back."

"R-right in the throne room."

Their words made Demiurge and Cocytus look relieved.

What they fear most is that the adult fails to come back.

"Come on, let's go to the throne room."

Demiurge immediately walked into the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, letting everyone follow him.

This time, their destination was the tenth floor at the bottom of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick.

Through several teleportation arrays, everyone arrived at this floor smoothly and arrived at an extremely wide and exquisitely designed high-ceiling room.

As its name suggests, this room is not only spacious but also solemn.

Its ceiling is very high, and the walls are based on white and dotted with various decorations mainly in gold. There are also several gorgeous crystal lamps made of colorful gemstones that exude a dreamy and dazzling light. It illuminated forty huge flags with different patterns painted on the wall.

In this hall, which uses a lot of gold and silver tones, there is a staircase with a height of more than ten steps. At the top of the staircase is a huge throne cut with huge crystal. The back of the chair is as high as the sky. On the wall behind the throne, there are A huge red flag with a logo on it. That flag was larger than the forty flags on the wall, and it was obviously far more important than the former.

This is the Throne Hall, located in the deepest and most important place of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick.

Here, not only can many affairs in the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick be managed through the system provided by the guild "Ainz Ooal Gown", but also the NPCs that exist here can be managed. If there are NPCs outside, If it dies, it will eventually be resurrected in this place and return to the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick.

Last time, Shalltear was resurrected here after being controlled by her spirit and defeated by Ainz.

When Demiurge and others came here, not only were many high-level NPC characters from the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick gathered here, but also some servants with extraordinary combat prowess were summoned here.

They all knelt down on one knee and faced the direction of the throne.

On the throne, Ainz sat holding a golden scepter.

Yes.

Ainz is resurrected.

Demiurge and Cocytus looked excited and hurriedly came to Ainz and knelt down on one knee.

"Lord Ainz!"

"It's great that you're okay!"

The two of them were excited and moved, looking almost on the verge of tears.

Ainz's eyes flashed red, as if he hadn't noticed the return of Demiurge and Cocytus until now, and he raised his head.

"...It can be regarded as nothing for the time being."

Ainz said this in a tone that sounded like he didn't know whether it could be regarded as the aftermath of the disaster.

"Fortunately, there are transfer tools that can be activated immediately when resurrected. Otherwise, I might not be able to come back this time."

Ainz was indeed grateful for this.

Before setting off for Dulig, Ainz brought two precious items with him.

One is a resurrection item that can be activated immediately upon death and will not reduce the holder's level.

One is a transfer item that can be activated in a chain at the moment of resurrection to transfer the holder to a preset location.

Both of these props were purchased for a fee, which are so-called krypton gold props.

Just before setting off, Ainz took these two items with him just in case. As a result, both of them were used, allowing Ainz to safely return to the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick without actually being seriously injured. 's death.

"But Shalltear and Albedo are dead."

Ainz's bony hand placed on the armrest began to make a fist.

"They were killed! By that damn human...!"

Anger surged out of Ainz's heart uncontrollably, and even though he was forced to calm down, it still continued to erupt. Ainz unconsciously activated the effect of [Aura of Despair], and a dark and ominous aura rose behind him.

"————!"

Feeling this suffocating and terrifying aura, everyone present lowered their heads in fear, not daring to take a breath again.

Demiurge and Cocytus looked even more guilty and remorseful.

"It's all because of my inability to protect Lord Ainz."

"There were obviously four guardians accompanying us, but we ended up in such a situation, and even caused Lord Ainz to die because of it. We really deserve death."

"Please punish me, Ainz-sama."

"If it can appease the anger of the noble Supreme Being and let us suffer any punishment, we are willing to do so."

The two of them said these words in voices that sounded like they were about to cry, and Ainz finally got rid of the state of raging anger that was constantly pouring out. The forced calmness also took effect smoothly, calming the intense emotions in his heart.

"Forget it, this has nothing to do with you." Ainz shook his head and said: "This time it is not that you are incompetent, but that Li Ge Brighaut is far more powerful than we imagined, which led to this result. .”

"The power of that human being is too strong. With that level of power, he still fought with Shalltear twice. It can be seen that he has been deliberately hiding his strength in order to mislead us. "

"So, the top priority is not to punish you, but to make arrangements quickly to resurrect Albedo and Shalltear, and then formulate new countermeasures."

Having said this, Ainz turned his attention to Demiurge.

"Has the situation in the kingdom been under control?"

Ainz's question made Demiurge finally raise his head.

"Yes, it has been successfully controlled." Demiurge said respectfully: "Although we were all severely injured by Lige Brighaut, the plan was successfully implemented. There is the third princess of the kingdom. With the help of secret help and the dirty information of the major nobles obtained from [Eight Fingers], the kingdom’s senior officials will be misled and turn hostile to the Theocracy. It is only a matter of time.”

“Also, as a giveaway, we are bringing back some people related to Rigo Brihaut.”

Demiurge summoned several servants and asked them to throw a group of people into the hall.

That, surprisingly, was everyone from [Blue Rose] and Brian.
