Dark Night did not choose to fight. Although she could stop time, her ability could not affect the state of things. What was before the time halt would remain the same after the time halt. In other words, she could not attack the enemy during the time halt. Therefore, it could be seen in the game that every time she launched an attack during the time halt, the time halt would be forcibly lifted the moment before she touched the target.
For enemies of similar rank, this ability was almost invincible, but when facing opponents of a higher rank, this gap would be a flaw. Take Kaguya for example. They were both time ability users. Except for the fact that he could not stop time, Kaguya almost perfectly restrained Dark Night.
Moreover, Dark Night knew very well that time ability was not invincible even in this world. The Bone King had the ability to break the time halt.
Therefore, the moment the time halt happened, Dark Night immediately chose to escape, rushing out of the hall as fast as she could.
Crack … Crack!
Dark Night had just started running when the space in the hall suddenly began to shatter. The originally frozen time was forcibly torn apart by an incomparably tyrannical force. Looking at the empty hall, the Bone King, who was standing in front of the throne, had an ugly expression on his face.
Of course, the Bone King was just a skeleton, and his expression could not be seen at all. However, from the terrifying aura he emitted, the Guardians all knew that the Supreme Sovereign was furious!
Thump!
The demon Dimugos immediately knelt on the ground and said respectfully, "Lord Ainz, please calm down. This time, the intruders broke in because of our Guardians' incompetence. We never expected that someone could invade the ninth underground floor, but please rest assured that we will definitely capture the intruders and hand them over to Lord Ainz to deal with."
Following that, the other Guardians also knelt down with a look of fear and trepidation.
"Hmm …" The King of the Undead maintained absolute majesty, and the overflowing magic seemed to dominate this space. He said solemnly, "Then, Dimugos, I'll leave this matter to you Guardians. You must not let the intruders escape from the Great Tomb of Nasalic."
"Lord Ainz, rest assured that there is no problem with the defense of the Great Tomb of Nasalic. It will not be a short time for the intruders to escape."
"Hmm, then you guys go. However, the intruders are not weak. You have to pay attention to your own safety."
Sensing the concern in the Bone King's words, the guardians were touched, and they immediately responded. Then, they got up and quickly chased after Dark Night.
As the Protectors left, the Bone King returned to his throne. A bony hand without any flesh or blood pressed against his face. It was the complete opposite of his terrifying appearance. At this moment, he was panicking.
[Damn it, why are there intruders? And he infiltrated the ninth floor without a sound?]
Bone King thought back to when he was still in the game. As the Alien Guild, they were viewed with hostility by countless players. Many guilds had joined forces to attack Nasalic's Graveyard many times, and there was no lack of powerful players among them. However, not a single player had been able to conquer this throne. But now, a human maid had managed to sneak through the layers of defense of the graveyard and silently infiltrate the ninth floor. Moreover, before this, not a single guardian had discovered it. This kind of thing …
[This world is too scary!]
The Bone King couldn't help but shiver. Since the other party was able to sneak into the ninth floor without a sound, that meant that it was possible to take their heads while they were resting, right?
Moreover, she had the ability to stop time.
Although he did not lack the ability to stop time, time-type abilities had always been one of the most troublesome powers. He had to be on guard. Fortunately, he had discovered it in time. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
[How laughable …]
The Bone King recalled his experience when he came to this world.
Although the entire guild had transmigrated together, in the beginning, the other guardians were just ordinary NPCs, unable to communicate normally. Until a few days ago, there seemed to be some kind of change in this world. The guardians all became real people, with their own thoughts and behavior patterns … although this behavior pattern was based on the characters that the players had set when they created the guardians.
At that moment, he was very happy because he was finally no longer alone. Finally, he did not have to guard this graveyard alone and worry about all kinds of things.
Even his courage grew, and he actually wanted to send guardians to investigate the giant tower in the sky.
Ahhhh, now that he thought about it, it was ridiculous!
The graveyard was their foundation, but a human had entered it like no man's land. They could not even protect their own home, and yet they wanted to invade another's territory. It was ridiculous.
At this thought, the Bone King was terrified and blamed himself.
Whoosh!
In an instant, a green light sprinkled down from the top of his head.
The Bone King activated a skill that forced him to calm down, and finally calmed his emotions temporarily. He murmured, "The matter of capturing the intruder will be temporarily handed over to the guardians. Although it might be dangerous one-on-one, if everyone attacks together, there shouldn't be a problem, right? No, I still can't be too careless … Hmm, just in case, I should take out the world-class item first. "
After saying that, the Bone King immediately went to the guild's most important treasury.
From Tang Hao's point of view, with Dark Night's strength, she did not have the confidence to win against any of the guardians one-on-one. Now that she was facing so many guardians, it was basically a maid's escape story. Moreover, the Bone King still had to prepare external equipment like a world-class item. It was simply making a mountain out of a molehill.
But for the Bone King, this was a necessary preparation, because a battle of wits and courage with the air was his daily routine.
Let's not talk about the Bone King's actions first. On Dark Night's side, after escaping from the hall, she quickly followed the original path and tried to rendezvous with Tang Hao. But before she could run far, a few powerful auras suddenly appeared behind her.
So fast!
Dark Night was shocked. The enemy's reaction was much faster than she had imagined. Moreover, she should not have been so slow at this kind of speed of pursuit. In other words … Teleportation?
The Great Tomb was the enemy's base, so it was natural for there to be various teleportation arrays.
"Ahhhh, damn ants, how dare you invade my and Lord Ainz's beloved nest and bring trouble to Lord Ainz. You deserve to die … Die!"
Amongst the pursuing Guardians, the fastest was Yaer Bede. It would be better to say that she had been completely overwhelmed by rage. Originally, as long as she kept her mouth shut, she could be called a peerless beauty. But now, she was grinning widely, her hair flying wildly, and she had completely transformed into a monster.
At the moment of attack, her entire body was covered in pitch-black armor, like the Yangtze River Knight of the Moon. The giant axe in her right hand released a green light, and she threw it at Dark Night.
Although it was just a simple throwing attack, whether it was power or speed, it had reached the extreme. For Dark Night, she could not resist such an attack, so she activated the world again.
Dark Night's world!
The same ability, but a different usage.
Considering that the previous world was almost instantly destroyed, Dark Night strengthened the effect of the world this time, but after the power was strengthened, the time was limited. Dark Night's world could only last for five seconds.
Of course, this time was enough for her to escape.
When time resumed, Dark Night's figure had completely disappeared from the guardians' eyes.
"Ahhh … This damn bitch!!!" Abel's uncontrollable voice of anger came from within the black armor. Even her entire body was trembling, and she released a dense black magic.
"Yaer Bede, calm down." Dimiugos immediately said.
"Huh?" Abel immediately glared at him. "You're telling me to calm down? How can I calm down at a time like this? Don't you see that bitch has already invaded in front of Lord Ainz? She has tarnished the Supreme Honorable, so she must die in the most painful way possible! "
"Of course I know, that's why I need you to calm down."
Ignoring Abel's anger, Dimiugos adjusted his round-rimmed glasses and said to the guardians, "First of all, we have to figure out the purpose of this mission. Don't let anger get to your head. Secondly, the opponent has the ability to control time, and can move in a time that we don't know. Blindly pursuing will not be effective."
"Then what do we do? Do we give up the chase? "A guardian asked.
"Of course not, we have already made a promise in front of Lord Ainz. There is no reason to give up. But before that, let me ask you, what is the purpose of the intruder?"
"Hmm … It should be to investigate? It seems like she has no intention of fighting us head-on. "
"That is at most her purpose of invading the Great Tomb. Now that she has been exposed, and since she has chosen to escape, it means that she cannot fight us in terms of combat power. So … she only has one purpose, and that is to escape the Great Tomb."
Dimiugos smiled faintly, "Since we know her goal, then our operation is very simple. She cannot use the Great Tomb's teleportation circle like us, so she has to break through layer by layer before she can leave. So there is no need for us to chase after her at all, we just have to guard the path she must take. And if she wants to advance, she has to defeat our guardians head-on. Even if her strength is enough to fight against us guardians, after a few battles, she will definitely be exhausted. When that time comes, it will be easy to take her down again. "
"I see, as expected of Dimiugos, the military adviser and commander of the guardians."
"But in this case, she can't even break through the eighth layer. After all, the eighth layer has' Those '."
"No, we will give up on the eighth layer." Dimiugos adjusted his glasses. "If [Those] were to be used, it would deal a thousand damage to the enemy and eight hundred to ourselves. Lord Ainz has also instructed that unless the great tomb of Nasalic is destroyed, we will not use [Those] on the eighth floor. So, we can only rely on the few Guardians here."
"That's true." The Guardians nodded immediately.
"So …" In the end, Dimiugos smiled. "I am the guardian of the seventh layer, I will guard the first level. As for Yaer Bede, in order to prevent the intruder from returning, you will be in charge of protecting Lord Ainz. As the strongest shield, as long as you are here, no one can threaten Lord Ainz."
