After exchanging positions, Ainz in the front also noticed that Xiaolin went to talk to Narberal. Seeing Narberal's arrogant and indifferent expression, he suddenly became anxious.
Talk, you are talking!
Aren't you allowed to speak?
...If Narberal had a temper, she would definitely reply like this.
In fact, Ainz really wants to talk to Krillin right now. It would be great if he could trade places with Narberal. But the atmosphere is very awkward now. If he switches places again, it would be as if he is cutting off social contact and keeping away from strangers. very bad.
I hope Narberal can speak and bring back some useful information.
...No, forget it.
Recalling the way the other party blurted out the information about the Great Tomb in a moment of impatience, Ainz thought it would be better not to let her speak.
And we can’t give up here.
He also wanted to know about magic.
Having just arrived in this world, Ainz was severely lacking in information about the development of magic, so he carefully satisfied his thirst for knowledge while constantly exploring the information that this world should have.
Of course, there was also some information that left him speechless. For example: The sea in this world is not salty!
Quite different from the original knowledge.
After an unknown amount of time, Lukrut suddenly spoke in a nervous tone:
"Be careful, there's something moving!"
It was completely different from the frivolous appearance when talking to Narberal. The person in front of him was an experienced professional adventurer, and the others immediately raised their weapons and looked in the direction of his finger.
"Where?"
"There, right there."
Hearing Peter's question, Lucroot stretched out his finger and pointed to a corner of the huge forest. Because it was hidden in the forest, the view was not good and no movement could be seen. Even so, no one questioned it. He seems to trust his companions very much.
"what to do?"
"You can't force it deep. If you haven't left the forest, just ignore it."
"Indeed. It would be bad if we just clean up and delay our schedule. Plus we have to protect our employer, which would put us in danger."
"Then according to the plan, ask Nfilia to step back and leave the rest to us."
While they were discussing loudly, there was movement in the forest, and monsters gradually appeared.
There were fifteen creatures about the same height as a child, surrounding six huge creatures. With green skin, a lean figure, tattered clothes and a hunched body with a small wooden stick, he looked exactly like the Goblin in the game.
As for the rest...the crooked face has a flat nose, and there are two protruding fangs in the bloody mouth. The skin is bright brown, and the messy dirty black hair seems to be fixed with hair wax. He is about 3 meters tall. The type of huge monster is unknown.
"Are games different from reality...?"
Although he could understand it and was actually experiencing it at the moment, the completely different situation made Ainz slightly confused.
There are no ogres in the game.
Almost all the monsters carry tattered leather bags, which seem to be used for traveling long distances. The monster that looked around at the group of people walked toward the plain, and even though it was a bit far away, it was still enough to feel hostility from its ugly face.
"The number is a bit large..."
"It seems there is no way to avoid fighting."
"That's right. The characteristic of goblins and ogres is that they attack when they see few people. Xiao Lin, please protect Nfilia."
"I see."
It should be said that the wisdom they possess can only judge each other's fighting ability based on the number of people, which is a little troublesome.
After Peter finished communicating with his companions, he said to Ainz beside him: "Mr. Momo. We agreed half and half before, but how will we allocate it now?"
"Can't we divide into two teams and deal with the incoming enemies appropriately?"
"Then it will be troublesome if they all run to one side. Can Miss Nabe use area magic like [Fireball] to destroy all the goblins in one go?"
"No, I can't use [Fireball]. The most powerful magic I can use is [Lightning Strike]."
Narberal flatly refused.
This is the restriction given to her by Ainz. Since it is Ainz's order, it will never change even if these people die!
...Unless Xiaolin is in danger.
After Peter thought briefly, he said: "[Lightning Strike] is a magic that penetrates straight through, right? How about inducing the enemies to line up in a row and deal with them from the side in one go? But in this way, a defense line must be built to withstand the enemy's assault..."
"Then I'll be responsible."
"Is that okay, Mr. Momo?"
"If I fight against a mere ogre, I'll be in a tough fight. I'm just showing off. Please see how I can easily defeat the ogre."
Ainz's confident voice gave the [Sword of Darkness] and the others a look of understanding, which also contained a sense of reassurance that it would be okay to leave it to him.
Of course, this is intentional.
In addition to establishing a strong image and promoting his reputation, the most important thing is to win Xiaolin's favor. Therefore, he secretly looked at Xiaolin who was sitting with Nfilia, only to find that the other person was still giggling, showing no sense of crisis at all.
Huh? Did I do something bad? Normally, shouldn't one show admiration, like Nfilia's? !
Ainz's confidence was slightly shaken.
Especially when he saw Narberal's adoring eyes, he even complained about what she was worshiping for, it was just rubbish that could be wiped out with a wave of his hand. Forget it, if that's the case, let's use more powerful moves to get rid of them and attract everyone's attention.
Peter asked worriedly: "Mr. Ainz, do you need support magic?"
"No need. You just need to support your comrades and protect your employer (Nfilia)." Naturally, Ainz didn't need help when dealing with a mere ogre.
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
After receiving the answer, Peter said to the others: "Everyone, if we start a war in this state, because it is close to the forest, the enemy may escape, so..."
"We have to do it the old fashioned way, right?"
"Yes, lure them out first. Mr. Momo will resist the enemy's attack. I will contain the ogres. Nina will use defensive magic on me. Lukerut and Dyne will stop the goblins. In addition, it may not be necessary. ...Xiaolin, I leave Miss Nabe's safety to you. If an ogre crosses the defense line, you will be responsible for blocking it. Then Nina will change the priority to clearing out the goblins."
"Understood." X4
The advantage of the team is reflected here. They make good use of their respective strengths to deal with difficult monsters, and their cooperation is quite tacit.
Everyone looked at each other and nodded to show that they understood Peter's instructions. The battle strategy was decided very smoothly, and the tacit understanding between them was excellent. Ainz, who admired him wholeheartedly, sighed softly, and the memory of the YGGDRASIL era was revived again.
But Xiaolin just joined the team, right?
is that OK?
Forget it, Narberal will protect him anyway, so there is no need to worry about it.
"Then let's fight."
Peter's voice was serious.
This is not a game, but a life-and-death battle. If you are careless, you will really die.
"watch out--"
The first to attack was Lukrut, who stretched the strings of his synthetic longbow until it made a chirping sound.
Snapped! The bow string cut through the air, and the arrow flew straight away, landing ten meters away from the goblin who came to the grassland.
The sudden attack made the goblin approaching with a shield laugh scornfully at the archer's attack. There was no doubt that it was laughing at the inaccurate shot.
Of course, the goblins' attacks couldn't hit targets more than 120 meters away, but they completely forgot about this.
The fact that they were attacked and the huge disparity in numbers made the goblins' violent nature over-inflate, so they shouted loudly together and sprinted towards Lucroot with all their strength, and the ogres behind them also rushed forward.
The thirst for blood has reached the point of forgetfulness. Not only are there no formations, nor are they holding shields for protection, their heads have become blank.
Seeing that the seduction was successful, Lukroot smiled, and then shot another arrow when the distance between the enemy and the enemy was ninety meters. The arrow missed and shot through the goblin's head. The goblin at the back staggered a few steps, collapsed to the ground and died.
The hand is quite steady.
Taking this as the clarion call to start the battle, Nina launched defensive magic on Peter from behind, and Peter struggled with an ogre. Dyne also quickly took out the seeds from his pocket and scattered them into the ground. The vines that grew out restrained an ogre, causing the irritable monster to howl loudly.
The cooperation is very tacit and smooth, but it only goes so far.
The rest can only be left to Momo and Nabe, but because of Ainz's instructions, Narberal wanted to protect Xiaolin, so Ainz was the only one to fight.
Ainz walked forward leisurely.
His steps didn't look like he was trying to fight a charging monster, but were so relaxed that he looked like he was taking a walk.
As he got closer and closer to the ogre running in front, Ainz crossed his hands behind his back and grasped the hilt of his sword, drawing a wide arc, and two big swords appeared.
The dazzling light that caught the eye made everyone in [Jet Black Sword] take a breath.
The two giant swords in Ainz's hands, which were over 150 centimeters tall, looked very majestic. They were more like valuable works of art than battle props.
The patterns carved into the grooves of the sword resemble two intertwined snakes. The front end is like an open fan, and the blade emits a cold, sharp light.
——Hero’s weapons.
Ainz holds the veritable hero's sword in both hands. This figure made the [Sword of Darkness] and the others take a breath again. If it was a breathtaking scene just now, this time it was a scene that left people speechless.
The longer the sword, the heavier it is.
Even weapons with lightweight magic are not that easy to cast.
During his short journey, he already knew that Ainz had amazing arm strength that was beyond ordinary people, but common sense still could not accept that someone could wield a giant sword so easily. However, Ainz was calmly waving it like he was holding a wooden stick in his hand, and his appearance was truly majestic.
'how? This amazing first appearance should make him look admiring, right? '
'……Huh? Not watching? ! '
When Mighty first appeared, he thought he could make Xiao Lin admire him and get closer to him, but he didn't expect that the other party turned his head and went to be wary of the goblins surrounding him!
It’s true that you should be careful about what’s behind you in battle, but wasn’t your gorgeous debut a complete failure?
Ainz almost cried.
It's like I'm trying to flatter my favorite goddess, hoping that the other person will look at me more, but I always fail due to various combinations of circumstances.
There is no other way. In that case, let's make a bigger noise.
Ainz looked at the stupid ogre who was confident in his arm strength and rushed towards him without thinking about life and death. A bloodthirsty smile appeared under his helmet.
As the distance between them grew closer, the ogre raised his club.
Although the sword in Ainz's hand was huge, the attack range of the huge ogre with a huge club was still relatively large. The moment the ogre took action, Ainz had already stepped forward first.
He moved like a gust of wind, and then swung the giant sword in his right hand at a faster speed. The silvery-white radiant afterimage flashed past as if cutting through the space.
That sword was too shocking. Even if it didn't hit him, it felt like he was witnessing death right next to him, which was horrifying.
With just one sword, it came to an end.
As if waiting for Ainz to leave, the upper body of the ogre, which had been standing upright just now, slid to the ground, leaving only half of his body motionless. The bright red and internal organs spurting out also disperse the surrounding stench, indicating that this is definitely not a fantasy scene.
Although the battle is still going on, the enemy and we are standing still, as if time has been suspended, quietly looking at this shocking and powerful scene.
One hit kill!
Even with the burly figure of the ogre, he still cannot escape the fate of being split into two.
"Amazing……"
I don't know who was whispering praises, but it was clearly audible on the silent battlefield.
It is not impossible to cut two people in half. A very small number of sword masters or possessing powerful magic weapons can indeed do this. However, it is common sense that it is difficult to use a huge two-handed weapon like a giant sword with one hand to cut it in half. The so-called two-handed weapons are held with both hands, and are weapons that use centrifugal force and the weight of the weapon itself to chop, rather than simply relying on arm strength to swing.
Therefore, Ainz's movements can prove that either his sword exerts unusually high magic, or his one-arm strength is stronger than that of an average warrior's two-arm strength, or both!
how?
My gorgeous slash!
Ainz secretly looked back and found Xiaolin looking at him, his original silly smile disappearing at some point.
For some reason, he felt very proud after successfully showing off in front of Xiao Lin that it was a monster that could be easily destroyed.
To go further.
Seeing the jaw-dropping scene, the ogre stopped involuntarily and backed away with a fearful expression.
Ainz continued to move forward, quickly closing the distance.
"What's wrong, why don't you come over?"
A slight calm voice echoed across the battlefield, and the simple words alone frightened the ogre. Because they saw with their own eyes the disparity in strength between themselves and the other party, they had the idea of escape.
But how could Ainz let them go if he was determined to attack them? Approaching other ogres at an astonishing speed, it is completely unlike the speed that should be achieved when wearing full body armor.
Seeing that he could not escape, the ogre let out a muddy sound that sounded like a cry or a cry, and raised the club in his hand to face the incoming Ainz, but everyone knew that such an action was too slow.
Ainz, who was approaching the ogre, swung the giant sword in his left hand horizontally. The ogre's upper body spun in the air and landed in a different place than its lower body. It was a horizontal slash that cut it in two.
"Mr. Momo...is he a monster?"
Seeing the shocking scene in front of them again, no one uttered a word to deny Dyne's statement.
Then Ainz stepped forward again, and the ogre's ugly expression froze for an instant as he retreated further.
The goblins made a wide circle around the ogre, bypassed Ainz's defense line, and ran to attack Krillin and the others.
Ainz saw Xiaolin standing in front of Narberal as the four goblins ran towards the carriage. Then he waved his hands quickly a few times, and he saw that the four goblins seemed to have pressed the pause button. , suddenly paused in mid-air.
"Sorry, this road is blocked."
Then, Xiao Lin's fingers gently moved, and the four goblins were instantly torn apart, with their limbs and internal organs scattered around.
"...Huh?" X6
Not only the members of the [Sword of Darkness], but also Ainz were surprised.
