Chapter 530
Hearing that Shengzai was fighting two against one and still holding the upper hand while facing Cocytus and Demiurge, Ainz was quite surprised.
Because the combat power the opponent displayed was not even weaker than his former close friend, the "World Champion" Touch Me.
At the same time, it was unexpected for Ainz that the natives of this world could actually be strong to this degree.
【There is no need to recall Sebas or dispatch other Guardians from Nazarick. In a situation where it is uncertain whether a third party is lurking in the shadows, preserving certain trump cards and strength is necessary.】
【Then, do you want me to use the power of "Hell Abyss"?】
【Let's forget about that for now. Not to mention whether it can kill Lord Xiuluo, Demiurge and Cocytus would very likely be caught in the crossfire.
You should retreat first. Let me handle the negotiations with him. Based on the current situation, there is no clear conflict of interest between us, so there is no need to fight to the death.】
【But, Lord Ainz, the opponent actually intends to steal your hard-earned results. This is truly...】
【Albedo, when facing a choice, sometimes appropriate compromise is for the sake of gaining greater benefits.
Regarding this failure, I sincerely feel it is not a bad thing. At least this can make you understand that Nazarick is not absolutely invincible in this world.
Honestly, I was too careless and underestimated this world before. It was also because of my negligence that Xia Xia Xia Tiya was controlled, leading to such a disgraceful situation. I need to apologize to you for this.】
【No, how could that be, Lord Ainz? It is all because we were too useless, which is why...】
【Enough, Albedo. You all return to Nazarick. By the way, call Narberal over. Next, I will make contact with Lord Xiuluo in the identity of the adventurer Momon.】
Facing Ainz's mandatory order, although Demiurge and the others in the battle were unwilling, they could only retreat helplessly in the end.
After Demiurge and the others left, seeing Kang Jinlong and Aimilena return safely, Shengzai let out a huge sigh of relief.
Shengzai could only think that Demiurge and the others suddenly retreated because of an order issued by Ainz.
And almost shortly after Albedo and the others left, the "disheveled" Dark Duo also appeared.
Seeing the devastated surroundings and the three of Shengzai, Ainz, who had already changed into the dark Momon persona, said half in amazement and half in emotion: "I am the Mithril-ranked adventurer Momon, and this is my partner Nabe.
We accepted the guild's commission and have successfully subjugated the vampire here. Judging by your appearance, you must be the reinforcements sent by the guild, right?
You really were a huge help. Judging by the traces of the battle at the scene, a quite intense fight must have broken out here just now, right?
If it weren't for your assistance, we, being attacked from both sides, might have fallen here."
Compared to their first meeting in Carne Village, Ainz was quite confident in his disguise this time.
Not only did he use warrior-transformation magic, but he even used high-level magic items to change his aura, so he was certain that Shengzai should not be able to tell he was an undead.
However, what Ainz did not know was that Shengzai was not a pure native. As a transmigrator, he had long known his true identity.
But seeing Ainz acting so hard, Shengzai did not go out of his way to expose him.
"We are also Mithril-ranked adventurers, 'Lord Xiuluo.' They are my teammates Kang Jinlong and Aimilena.
Lord Momon need not be too concerned. After all, no one expected that such a powerful vampire would have other accomplices.
And Lord Momon's strength is truly quite astonishing to be able to annihilate such a powerful vampire. For us, just blocking her companions was already exhausting all our efforts."
"Lord Xiuluo is too modest. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to defeat the vampire so smoothly.
Also, at the same time Shengzai's slash was erased, Demiurge, who was in the air, spread his giant demonic wings and swept a barrage of black feather-arrows toward the ground.
The meaning Ainz wanted to express in his words was already very clear: he would not swallow the credit for subjugating the vampire alone, but chose to share it with Shengzai.
After receiving such a result, Shengzai was silent for a while and ultimately accepted the proposal.
After all, his main goal had been achieved. He now had a bottom line in his heart regarding the approximate strength of the Nazarick Guardians. As for this windfall of credit, there was no reason not to take it.
After the negotiation was completed, both sides returned to the E-Rantel Adventurer's Guild amidst a round of pleasant commercial mutual flattery.
And under the confirmation of the Adventurer's Guild, the "Dark Duo" and "Lord Xiuluo" simultaneously obtained Adamantite-ranked adventurer plates.
At the beginning, Ainz's agreement with the guild was only for "Orichalcum-ranked" plates, but when he saw Shengzai directly ask for "Adamantite-ranked" plates, he also decisively proposed to increase the reward.
After Xia Xia Xia Tiya became a neutral wild monster, she had already wiped out several "Orichalcum-ranked" adventurer teams, which was enough to show that she possessed terrifying strength at the Adamantite rank or even higher.
Being able to subjugate such a vampire, the "Dark" Duo undoubtedly possessed Adamantite-ranked strength.
As for the three of "Lord Xiuluo," they claimed to have blocked accomplices with strength equivalent to the vampire. When people from the Adventurer's Guild went to the scene to verify, they also found that quite astonishing battle traces had indeed been left there.
Coupled with the testimony of the "Dark" Duo, they eventually became an Adamantite-ranked team as they wished.
And with the simultaneous appearance of two Adamantite-ranked teams, "Dark" and "Lord Xiuluo," the Kingdom and other surrounding forces immediately took notice of them.
After all, until now, the Adamantite-ranked teams among adventurers were only "Blue Rose," "Red Drop," and "Silver Thread Bird" active in the Empire.
But now, two new Adamantite-ranked adventurer teams had suddenly appeared, and two at once. How could this not be surprising?
And both teams had risen rapidly in a short period of time, which made people even more curious about their strength and identities.
Slane Theocracy,?"
Facing Nigun, who was kneeling on one knee before the bishop of the Six Scriptures, his expression was one of piety and respect, but his heart was full of disdain.
He thought that if it weren't for Lord Shengzai telling him not to act rashly for the time being, he would have long ago asked Lord Archangel Otto to finish off the few guys in front of him!
He, Nigun, was the future Pope. Besides Lord Shengzai, were these people worthy of making him kneel so subserviently?
