Chapter 676

As soon as Following Ye Yu arrived on the outskirts of E-Rantel with the manifested Acnologia, he activated perception-type magic to sense his surroundings.

Soon, he sensed the locations of Erza, Kagura, and the others.

However, he did not immediately go to rendezvous with Erza and the others, but continued to expand his perception.

Finally, he sensed the magic power of the Platinum Dragon Lord.

Swish—

The next second, the forms of Following Ye Yu and Acnologia disappeared into thin air.

When they appeared again, they were already in the sky above the Platinum Dragon Lord's location.

Of course, this Platinum Dragon Lord was not the Platinum Dragon Lord's true body.

It was the Platinum Armor he was controlling.

At this moment, the Platinum Dragon Lord was heading toward the Great Tomb of Nazarick with the party of the Four Armaments.

As soon as Following Ye Yu and Acnologia appeared, they were sensed by the Platinum Dragon Lord.

"Hmm?"

He subconsciously looked up toward Following Ye Yu and Acnologia in the sky.

Following Ye Yu did not shy away, just staring back at the Platinum Dragon Lord.

"Heh, sure enough, he's snuck into the Four Armaments' team."

"And he even used intelligence-disguise magic."

Standing in the air, Following Ye Yu couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at the Platinum Dragon Lord among the crowd below.

Based on Following Ye Yu's understanding of Ainz Ooal Gown.

A disguise of this level by the Platinum Dragon Lord would be seen through the moment Ainz Ooal Gown saw it.

After all, Ainz Ooal Gown is an existence who fights wits and courage with the air.

Setting aside whether Ainz Ooal Gown has items to identify disguises.

Just the fact that the Platinum Dragon Lord is a guy who suddenly appeared in a worker team makes it look suspicious at a glance.

"You underestimate the Great Tomb of Nazarick too much; a disguise of your level won't be able to sneak in at all."

Following Ye Yu transmitted his voice directly to the Platinum Dragon Lord.

Hearing Following Ye Yu's sudden reminder, the Platinum Dragon Lord didn't know how to respond for a moment.

After all, time was short.

He could only manage a disguise to this extent.

Of course, if he were willing, he could directly take one of the Four Armaments' members as a puppet to control.

It was just that he didn't want to harm others to accomplish his goal.

"I'll help you out!"

After transmitting this sentence to the Platinum Dragon Lord, he disappeared from the Platinum Dragon Lord's field of vision along with Acnologia.

Although Acnologia was manifested.

But considering that Erza, Wendy, and the others had psychological trauma regarding Acnologia.

After Following Ye Yu brought the manifested Acnologia to the outskirts of E-Rantel, he returned to the magic airship alone.

"Shalltear, I need you to help me with one thing."

Following Ye Yu said to Shalltear.

"Yes, I'd be very happy to."

Shalltear replied with a joyful expression.

"You are to head to Carne Village now."

Following Ye Yu was afraid that Shalltear might just wipe out the villagers of Carne Village while she was at it, so he specifically added:

"Remember, just appear outside Carne Village; you don't need to do anything else."

Although Shalltear didn't understand why Following Ye Yu wanted her to do this.

She still replied with a passionate expression: "Yes!"

After speaking, Shalltear lifted her skirt slightly to bow to Following Ye Yu, then immediately opened a portal and disappeared from the magic airship.

"Following Ye Yu, what are you trying to do?"

After Shalltear left, Erza asked with a puzzled expression.

"Just distracting Ainz Ooal Gown."

Following Ye Yu said casually.

Shalltear was originally a Guardian of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

If she were to appear at Carne Village.

It would definitely be known to Ainz Ooal Gown within a very short time.

With Ainz Ooal Gown's cautious personality, even if he didn't rush to Carne Village immediately to deal with Shalltear.

It would definitely distract Ainz Ooal Gown.

By then, the risk of the Platinum Dragon Lord, who had undergone some disguise, being exposed would be reduced quite a bit.

…………

Just as Following Ye Yu expected, not long after Shalltear teleported outside Carne Village, she was discovered by Lupusregina Beta, the battle maid sent by Ainz Ooal Gown to Carne Village.

"It's Lady Shalltear!"

Lupusregina looked at Shalltear, who was wearing a court gown, from afar, her face filled with solemnity.

0...........

She didn't hesitate at all, immediately activating communication magic to contact Ainz Ooal Gown.

"Lord Ainz, I have discovered Lady Shalltear outside Carne Village."

As soon as Lupusregina said this, Ainz Ooal Gown was suddenly shocked.

What?

Discovered Shalltear?

Ainz Ooal Gown didn't hesitate at all; his skeletal hand reached into the void and pulled out a mirror.

Under Ainz Ooal Gown's control, the scene of Shalltear appearing outside Carne Village soon appeared on the surface of the mirror.

Is it really Shalltear?

Why would she appear at Carne Village?

Could it be a conspiracy to intentionally lure me over?

In this instant, Ainz Ooal Gown thought of many possibilities.

At the same time, Ainz Ooal Gown fell into a difficult dilemma.

Shalltear was very likely a trap.

But as the King of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, he could not see his former subordinate appear before his eyes and do nothing.

"Observe for now."

"After confirming the situation and preparing thoroughly, then go to Carne Village."

After weighing the options, Ainz Ooal Gown finally made this decision.
