Chapter 558: Ainz has declared war on the Baharuth Empire!

Wall of Skeleton was a fifth-tier magic, but it possessed the effect of blocking a powerful instantaneous attack.

So Lakyus's strike, which injected magic power into the magic sword, was successfully blocked by this Wall of Skeleton.

And after blocking Lakyus's magic slash, in the next second, Yuri also showed physical ability that was completely different from her intellectual beauty appearance.

As a monk, her physical ability was the strongest among the Pleiades!

Accompanied by the ground under her feet instantly cracking, in the next second, Yuri's figure almost shot to Lakyus's front, and she slapped Lakyus in front of her with a hand covered in green metal guards.

"Floating Sword Swarm———!"

The magic sword Kilineiram had a huge blade, and swinging it at close range was not flexible, so behind Lakyus were several other short swords controlled by magic power.

"Ding——————!"

When Yuri slapped over, Lakyus also used the floating sword swarm behind her to form a sword shield in front of her to block.

But in the next second, accompanied by a huge air wave erupting from Yuri's palm, the powerful shockwave instantly pierced through the defense of the floating sword swarm and sent Lakyus behind the sword shield flying.

Ki Blast Palm—this was Yuri's own profession skill. As a high-level monk, she not only mastered force-generating techniques like "Fa Jin" but could also use "Ki."

The so-called "Ki Blast Palm" was a technique that could concentrate the Ki cultivated by herself in the palm and release it in one breath, thereby hitting a shockwave.

With just one strike, Lakyus, who was sent flying by the air wave, had blood overflowing from the corner of her mouth.

And realizing that the opponent's level and strength might be stronger than her own, Lakyus no longer hesitated. She inserted the magic sword Kilineiram into the ground in front of her and took down the second magic sword that had been bound by sealing bandages at her waist.

Magic Sword Aphophis—this was the second magic sword Lakyus obtained after passing the test of the "Eight Greed Kings" guardians.

This magic sword was far stronger than Kilineiram and even had the effect of significantly increasing the user's magic power and physical fitness.

But wanting to obtain this power also required paying a certain price, which was that she would fall into a "chaotic" state because of the magic sword's power.

Simply put, it was losing her reason...

As a cleric warrior, Lakyus possessed the ability to control magic swords, but because the power of this magic sword was too strong, she had been unable to control it, which was why she had always sealed it before.

However, the current situation was clearly not the time to consider so much.

Looking at Yuri who was swinging her fist, Lakyus, who was holding the unsealed magic sword, also had her eyes turn red in an instant, and she gripped the magic sword tightly and slashed at the other party!

"Boom——————!"

The moment the fist and the blade collided in the air, the surrounding ground was instantly shattered, and with the two as the center, spiderweb-like cracks spread out in all directions.

Looking at the center of the explosion, Ainz's expression was calm, but in reality, he was also feeling a trace of surprise in his heart.

Ainz could see that Yuri had truly brought out her strength and there was no suspicion of holding back.

And the human woman, the Kingdom's Third Prince's fiancée, regardless of what means she used, actually possessed the strength to briefly clash with Yuri, which was already quite astonishing.

Wasn't it said that the Kingdom's strongest combat power was the Kingdom's Warrior Captain Gazef Stronoff?

Ainz now seriously suspected that the Kingdom releasing such news was entirely to confuse others.

He had already seen Gazef Stronoff before, and he had to say that the other party's character and other aspects were indeed impeccable.

But if you say he is the Kingdom's strongest combat power, Ainz could now directly give him a slap.

The first Shura King, then the Kingdom's Third Prince, and now this Lakyus—which one of them couldn't beat Gazef Stronoff?

What kind of strongest combat power! If the one fighting Yuri now was that Kingdom's strongest Warrior Captain, I'm afraid the first "Ki Blast Palm" would be enough to send the Kingdom's strongest combat power away directly.

Lakyus, dominated by the magic sword, was in a state like a madwoman, but she did indeed rely on the magic sword to hold out for thirty minutes in Yuri's hands.

When the battle ended, Yuri Alpha also knelt before Ainz with a look of guilt and apologized, thinking that she had brought shame to Nazarick.

"No matter, Yuri Alpha, you have already done very well.

It can only be said that I miscalculated the opponent's strength. I didn't expect that human woman to be so strong."

When the battle ended, the others in "Blue Rose" almost arrived at Lakyus's side for the first time and helped her seal the magic sword again.

And although Ainz had already lost his humanity, he had done what he said in terms of keeping his promises.

The "Four Armaments" who were killed were resurrected, and Ainz also allowed Lakyus to take them away together.

When leaving the Great Tomb of Nazarick, the Empire's Emperor Jircniv proposed the suggestion of forming an alliance with Ainz and his group, but was decisively refused by Ainz.

After all, Ainz also strongly stated that for the Empire's behavior of invading their residence this time, the Empire needed to cede a city to them as compensation, otherwise they would personally settle the account with the Empire!

On the return journey, Jircniv was almost absent-minded the whole time.

Originally, he intended to deal with Ainz Ooal Gown superficially in the capacity of an alliance, and then secretly unite with the Theocracy, the Kingdom, the Holy Kingdom, and the Council State to crusade against Ainz Ooal Gown.

However, the result now was that his idea of playing both sides seemed to have been seen through by that undead, and the other party even intended to take their Empire as the first target.

"Lady Evileye, the strength of Ainz Ooal Gown's group, and their practice of playing with life, you should have seen it too, right?

The goal of Ainz Ooal Gown will not just be the Empire. Whether it is the Kingdom, the Theocracy, or the Holy Kingdom, they may eventually become the targets of his ravaging."

Originally, Jircniv should have said these words to Lakyus, after all, although Lakyus was an adventurer, her other identity was almost equivalent to half of the Kingdom's royal family.

But after fighting with a magic sword that could not be controlled, Lakyus, whose spirit was exhausted, had been in a coma since just now, so Jircniv could only ask Evileye for help.

"Regarding your words, I will convey them to the Kingdom, but whether they will agree to your request, I cannot guarantee."

Evileye completely understood the mood of the Empire's Emperor. After all, being targeted by such a group of monsters, if other countries stood by and watched, then the Empire would almost be finished.
