A skull with no facial features, no flesh, only stark white bones.
He shouldn't be called Ainz Ooal Gown anymore; he should be called Momonga.
His real game name is Ainz Ooal Gown, and he still calls himself Ainz Ooal Gown now. He will change his name to Ainz Ooal Gown once he enters this world and comes into contact with its people.
Originally, he was just an ordinary human being, so ordinary that he couldn't be more ordinary. His real name was "Satoru Suzuki," and he was a busy salesman. He was an orphan with no friends and lived a lonely life in the real world.
Such people are often referred to as "corporate slaves".
But now, he has traveled to this world through "YggDRasIL" and become the supreme being in this world.
The game world has become reality; anyone would feel somewhat dazed and unreal in that situation.
The same applies to flying squirrels.
The surface area of the Great Tomb of Nazarick is 200 meters square. It is protected by a six-meter-thick wall and has an entrance at both the front and rear.
The weeds in the cemetery were trimmed short, creating a refreshing atmosphere. However, the large trees in the cemetery had dense foliage, providing shade everywhere and creating a somber feeling. Many white stone tombstones were also arranged haphazardly.
The enormous shrine in the center is the entrance to the Great Tomb of Nazarick, the place where flying squirrels emerge.
The flying squirrel stood atop the wide limestone steps, silently gazing at the scene before it. Helheim, the site of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, was once a cold, perpetually dark world.
Influenced by the eternal night, the atmosphere here is quite eerie, with the sky often obscured by thick black clouds. But the scenery now is completely different.
What I see before me is a beautiful night sky.
The flying squirrel gazed at the sky, sighed deeply, and shook its head repeatedly, seemingly unable to believe the scene before it.
This is the clearest night sky I have ever seen in my life.
Feeling the wind whistling past his ears, experiencing incredibly realistic touches, and witnessing scenes that seemed like something out of a dream, Feisquirrel took a deep breath and murmured, "Scenes that can't be seen in reality, and a realism that can't be felt in a game—is all of this real? It's like a dream."
At this point, Momonga uses the skill [Flight].
Freed from the shackles of gravity, the flying squirrel floated lightly into the sky. It then accelerated rapidly, ascending in a straight line. A thrilling sense of exhilaration washed over the flying squirrel.
But as it flew, the flying squirrel suddenly became sentimental.
"It's a pity they're no longer here."
Now he is all alone, with no companions around him.
Bubble teapot, blue planet, the names of dear friends flashed through my mind, but sadly, none of them came.
"Lord Momonga, please slow down."
A magnetic voice came from behind Fei Su. Turning around, one could see the servant following behind Fei Su. He was a man about 1.8 meters tall, with tanned skin and a straight back. He was quite a gentleman in both his appearance and demeanor.
However, this gentleman exuded an aura of evil, and he had a tail covered by a silver metal plate with six sharp spikes at the tip. He also had huge, damp, black membranous wings on his back, making him a true alien.
The flying squirrel stopped moving forward and slowly floated in mid-air. The next moment, it heard a series of flapping sounds of wings.
A creature with huge, damp, black, membrane-like wings on its back, and whose appearance changed from a human face to that of a frog, appeared before the flying squirrel.
His name is Demiurge, one of the NPCs who traveled to this world with Ainz Ooal Gown. He is the guardian of the seventh level of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, the headquarters of Ainz Ooal Gown's guild, and a level 100 highest-ranking demon—Demiurge.
"Don't call me Flying Squirrel outside. We don't know what the situation is like in this world yet, and we need to avoid accidentally revealing my identity, understand?"
"Oh, is that so? Then how should I address you?"
"Call me Lord Dark Knight."
"...Dark Knight?"
"Ah."
After exchanging a few words with Demiurge and venting his frustrations, Ainz Ooal Gown decided to return to the dungeon.
However, the next moment, Fei Su's gaze sharpened as he caught sight of a young man in a white robe below.
"Demiurge, do you see that?" Ainz pointed at the boy below.
Demiurge, who had been following closely behind Ainz Ooal Gown, paused slightly. He looked in the direction Ainz Ooal Gown was pointing and saw Roya.
Chapter 390: Extraterrestrial Demon
"When did this guy get here? How come I didn't even notice?" Demiurge was startled.
Then, in the next moment, the boy raised his staff and pointed it at the two people in the sky.
"Let the valiant sword of ice punish the target! 'Icicle Edge'!"
"The Frost King, the overlord of the vast snowfields. Clad in pure white, the Zero King who steals all heat. The ice king who rules over death will freeze everything! 'Ice Lance Blizzard'!"
"O Azure Goddess descending from the heavens, wield your staff and freeze the world! 'Icicle Field'!"
In an instant, a powerful surge of magical energy erupted from Roya, and in the blink of an eye, Roya completed this series of incantations.
The effect was quite obvious. At this moment, the sky and the earth were covered with a layer of frost. The earth was frozen by white frost, and snow fell from the sky. Meanwhile, countless dense ice crystal spears gathered out of thin air around Luo Ya.
With a slight wave of his right hand, Roya unleashed a terrifying attack. Frost instantly covered the two of them, and ice blades gathered in mid-air, crashing down on the flying squirrel. Not only that, but ice crystal spears also flew towards the two like cannonballs.
"grown ups!"
Demiurge let out a loud shout.
Demiurge stepped forward, blocking Ainz's path, exuding a terrifying aura.
The ice crystal spear was infused with a considerable amount of magic, and coupled with the conditions created by Roya, each magical attack was extremely powerful.
However, these spells were still blocked, but Demiurge paid a price, with several penetrating wounds appearing on parts of his body.
"Demiurge, send a message to Albedo and all the Guardians to raise the alert level to the highest level." Ainz Ooal Gown's face was gloomy, and two crimson dots on his skull flashed. However, after the initial anger, Ainz Ooal Gown felt somewhat suspicious.
Why was I attacked as soon as I arrived on the surface?
Moreover, judging from their posture, it seems they are coming specifically for them.
What's going on with this guy in front of me?
Has he been exposed?
In an instant, Flying Squirrel thought of many things, but then his brows furrowed slightly.
With a gentle lift of its hand, the ice crystals rushing towards it shattered instantly. In that same instant, a massive surge of magical power emanated from the flying squirrel and spread in all directions.
The enemy did not continue their attack.
Roya only launched one attack; he came here to demonstrate only a portion of his strength and had no intention of directly confronting these guys.
Roya raised an eyebrow. This magical fluctuation had no other purpose than reconnaissance.
But the flying squirrel did not stop. Then, several flashes of light appeared on its body, including red, yellow, blue and green light. Not only that, Roya could clearly sense that the space around the opponent was obviously distorted, which meant that the opponent had set up several traps nearby.
"Tsk, quite cautious." Roya curled his lips, and the surrounding frost gathered again, forming a new offensive. These ice crystals stopped beside Roya, constantly spinning and floating in the air, as if they would fly towards the flying squirrel at any moment.
Luo Ya's face was ashen as he shouted at the two people above, "There are no people in this world. You should not exist here."
Just one sentence was like a bombshell in a clear sky, startling the flying squirrel into a cold sweat.
The flying squirrel spoke in a hoarse, unpleasant voice, "Why don't you... what are you saying?"
"No need to pretend. This land has always been under the glorious light of our Lord. You extraterrestrial demons are all worthy of being killed!" Roya said solemnly to the two people in the sky.
These words instantly chilled the flying squirrel's heart.
'My Lord' 'Extraterrestrial Demon'?
There seemed to be a formidable figure standing behind the other party, and the person in front of them could casually unleash magic comparable to a seventh or eighth-tier character, which meant that the world was more complex than imagined.
The moment I stepped out, I was discovered by the other side, who then sent a master to investigate. Their execution was incredibly fast.
Momonga's mind raced, while Demiurge beside him angrily screamed at Roya below, "You bastard, how dare you offend the Supreme Lord! I'll tear you to pieces!"
"Wait, Demiurge. Since they haven't chosen to continue attacking, it means there's still room for negotiation between us."
When he said this, the flying squirrel did not hide his voice and deliberately raised his voice.
Luo Ya's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't speak. The ice crystals around him floated and swirled, but the frost and wind made them even stronger.
But ultimately, he didn't come here to fight.
Seeing Roya remain silent, Ainz Ooal Gown had a thought and softened his tone, saying, "Human, I mean no harm."
The flying squirrel began a tentative conversation. The guy in front of it seemed to be of a very high level. He could use such magic so easily, so his level was at least around level 80.
Most importantly, there is a guy above him called 'Master', and how many such guys 'Master' has is completely unknown. In fact, how many 'Masters' there are is also unknown.
"Seriously, another problem." Momonga muttered to himself, but explained aloud, "Human, you are indeed very strong, but not enough. If you are the only one coming, I think the 'master' who sent you here is more interested in negotiation, right?"
"State your purpose, human."
In the short time it took to talk, Luo Ya keenly sensed that several powerful auras were rapidly approaching from the surroundings.
No, there were other creatures mixed in, densely packed together, lurking in the shadows, already surrounding Roya.
With the aid of Kenshin and the Transparent World, Roja had a clear understanding of the situation on the field.
The individuals with the strongest auras were none other than the so-called "Guardians".
The so-called Guardians refer to the strongest group of NPCs in the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
The Great Tomb of Nazarick was originally a wilderness grotto. After the alien guild Ainz Ooal Gown occupied it, they transformed this six-story grotto into a comprehensive ten-story fortress with distinct characteristics: the first to third floors are the tomb; the fourth floor is the underground lake; the fifth floor is the glacier; the sixth floor is the jungle; the seventh floor is the lava; the eighth floor is the wilderness; the ninth floor is the royal suite; and the tenth floor is the throne room.
