Ainz retreated behind everyone, with the four guardians providing cover for him, giving Ainz plenty of time.
Of course, when dealing with someone as strong as Roa, the last thing you should do is appear in front of him.
Albedo looked at Roa in the distance with an angry expression, holding the giant battle axe in her hand. After steadying herself, she took a deep breath and charged towards Roa again.
Ainz's expression changed, and he quickly said, "Albedo, don't go!"
However, it was too late. Albedo roared, "Die! Lowly creature!"
The giant axe was raised high, and with great force, it slammed down on Roa.
The previous collision made Albedo clearly realize that the quality of Roa's weapon was not as high as she had imagined. Her combat experience told her that this was an opportunity. Realizing this, she planned to directly confront Roa in close combat, wanting to directly destroy Roa's weapon.
However, the idea was good, but how could Albedo keep up with Roa's speed?
The raised axe blade carried unparalleled power, and the flowing axe blade reflected a black light.
Under the illumination of the night sky, it appeared so radiant.
This attack could not be resisted. If someone used a weapon to block this attack, then the weapon would definitely be destroyed in an instant. Even the Windpipe would be directly and severely damaged due to this weapon collision.
This was Albedo's wishful thinking. Only she could stand up at this moment to restrain Roa and prevent Roa from unleashing that terrifying slash again.
However, Albedo was still too naive.
A cold smile appeared on the corner of Roa's mouth. Facing the world-class item Ginnungagap, Roa put the Windpipe back into the system space.
This action, in everyone's eyes, was undoubtedly tantamount to courting death.
A manic smile appeared on the corner of Albedo's mouth. She said, "It seems you know that your weapon can't compete with Ginnungagap, so you plan to surrender? That's fine, let me smash your skull with an axe!"
But in the next moment, Albedo's smile suddenly changed. A strong sense of warning rose in Albedo's heart, and then her eyes shrank to the size of a needle.
Because Roa's body was actually emitting terrifying energy fluctuations again.
And this energy fluctuation was not magic power, but—divine power!
The gate symbolizing the spirit world opened at this moment, and divine power was poured into it without restraint, establishing a channel between the present world and the spirit world.
In the next moment, two long swords appeared in Roa's hands, one on the left and one on the right.
These were two knight swords with similar shapes but opposite styles.
One knight sword shimmered with a silver luster, exuding an aura of sacred inviolability.
The other knight sword was jet black, and the sword was attached with an extremely evil and ominous aura.
Two long swords, one black and one white, appeared in Roa's left and right hands at this moment.
Without the slightest hesitation, Roa directly emitted a dazzling light from the silver-white sword held in his right hand, colliding with Ginnungagap.
Under Albedo's great strength, Ginnungagap collided with the Demon Slayer Holy Sword, making a sound that made people's teeth ache.
Two huge forces intertwined. Almost in an instant, the ground where Roa was located instantly collapsed, completely shattering the ground within a radius of hundreds of meters, turning it into a deep pit.
The strong wind blew the hems of everyone's clothes, rustling. In the next moment, a figure flew backwards. Albedo was instantly countered and kicked away by Roa, smashing towards Shalltear's location at a faster speed than when she came.
Seeing Shalltear, she cursed Albedo in her heart for being more than useless, but she had no choice but to use means to catch Albedo.
However, the battle did not stop here. The young man's steady voice resounded throughout the world again.
"—The cold steel queen, the holy sword that slays demons and eliminates evil—now transform into a steel sword and grant me divine power!"
The god-like, indifferent voice made the expressions of everyone in the field change. Roa's right hand was soon shrouded in a layer of silver-white halo.
This was the steel protection of the Demon Slayer Holy Sword.
And the silver-white long sword, after colliding with Ginnungagap, was unscathed.
Albedo staggered to her feet from the ground, staring at the dazzling silver sword in Roa's hand, and said, "His weapon has definitely reached the divine level. Ginnungagap cannot destroy it."
"That move of his should have used the ability attached to the divine weapon."
At this moment, the guardians of the Great Tomb of Nazarick undoubtedly felt heavy-hearted. They knew too little about Roa's information. Roa usually had a mysterious and unpredictable appearance, and Roa didn't show much of his cards in the previous test.
In the previous collision, Albedo thought that the other party's weapon was not as good as she had imagined, and planned to exchange injuries for injuries, forcibly destroying Roa's weapon. As a result, the unequal information made Albedo suffer a great loss.
Ainz became more and more silent. He stared at the young man in front of him, and finally seemed to have made up his mind. He said to everyone around him, "Cover me, I'm going to use that move!"
However, before he could finish speaking, a huge sense of crisis suddenly rose in Ainz's heart, and the faces of the other four guardians also changed.
The silver knight sword was held by Roa again, and the holy sword was raised high.
Like before, this was exactly the starting stance for Roa to unleash that sword light.
Only this time, the weapon was changed to the Demon Slayer Holy Sword.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the long sword, which was long and narrow, polished on eight sides, and engraved with obscure spirit characters.
When the long sword was raised above his head, a dazzling light began to bloom from it, and the sacred, inviolable aura was rising at this moment.
The thick, ink-like night began to fade quickly, and the holy sword burned with a fiery silver-white light.
The silver-white light continued to burn and expand, and the vast, abyss-like divine power was frantically poured into the Demon Slayer Holy Sword without restraint. The light continued to expand until it reached its peak.
At this moment, everyone in the Royal capital, whether civilians, nobles, or adventurers, looked at the scene in the distant sky.
At this moment, they saw a great sun rising, and the dazzling light filled the world, dispelling all evil and filth.
The crimson-gold dragon eyes coldly watched everyone in the field. Roa looked at the guardians in the field, looking at the panicked and fearful expressions on their faces, and Roa showed a faint smile.
However, this smile quickly disappeared without a trace.
Because, a figure actually rushed up again.
It was Albedo, who was already like a madman.
Albedo let out a frantic roar, like a beast, rushing towards Roa without the slightest integrity.
"It seems that you really want to die."
"Well, then you can leave the stage here."
"Ex——calibur!!!"
The soaring pillar of light instantly enveloped everyone in the Great Tomb of Nazarick. The magnificent and vast divine power connected the sky and the earth, rushing towards the five people. This sword light focused on Albedo, who was at the very front.
Albedo, who was at the very front, raised the battle axe in her hand, colliding with the soaring pillar of light. The battle axe bloomed with a terrifying black light, colliding with the sword light.
However, even though Ginnungagap was a world-class item, it could not annihilate this sword light. After only supporting it for a moment, Albedo's figure was submerged by the torrent of light.
Sensing something was wrong, Albedo used two defensive killing moves again in an emergency.
"Walls of Jericho!"
"Aegis!"
These two defensive killing moves were more than enough to withstand even the tenth-tier magic of the attack type, but under the impact of the beam, they were instantly destroyed in less than half a breath.
A large amount of divine power was wrapped around Albedo's body, and the sword energy continued to wash over Albedo. Cracks began to appear on Albedo's most valued armor.
Hermes Trismegistus, a divine-level item, a three-layer armor, covering the whole body. It has unparalleled defensive power and can allow the wearer to withstand three sky falls head-on without any damage.
As a defensive NPC character, Albedo, unlike Shalltear, does not have the heaven-defying time-based abilities, but she also has special skills to avoid defeat.
And this armor, combined with her own abilities, is her last trump card.
"Damage Transfer!"
The speed at which the divine-level item on her body began to crack rapidly accelerated. The heavy armor made a series of cracking sounds. The outermost armor persisted for less than a breath before it was mostly broken, and even the inner breastplate made a violent, slight cracking sound.
Albedo's expression changed, and the horror in her heart was undisguised. A sense of despair arose spontaneously.
Too powerful.
Roa's strength was too powerful.
Albedo tried her best to intercept, using all her means. The armor on her body, which could withstand three super-level magics, could only last for two breaths at most before it would be broken. This terrifying strength made a sense of despair rise in her heart.
However, when the last piece of breastplate was broken, Albedo laughed in the face of the soaring light.
"But, you are still one step too late."
The sharp sword light and the majestic divine power intertwined, directly engulfing Albedo's body.
Albedo, who was already exhausted, was instantly washed away by this torrent, and her HP was instantly cleared.
Albedo, dead in battle.
Being besieged by four guardians, plus Ainz sitting in the rear, resisting this huge force, and forcibly killing one of the guardians, such a record was so terrifying that Ainz and his party felt their scalps tingle.
But fortunately, the time Albedo bought gave Ainz and his party enough time to breathe.
"Greater Teleportation!"
Ainz pulled everyone away, directly escaping the range of the sword light.
Ainz looked back to see that everyone in the field was injured to varying degrees. It turned out that although Albedo had taken the brunt of the attack, a small portion still struck the four of them.
The divine aura was naturally effective against them as heteromorphs, and after this series of skills, the guardians' HP dropped by more than half.
Shalltear was the most severely injured. She had withstood Roa's heavy attacks earlier, using almost all her means, and her HP had already dropped significantly. This time, even the aftershock forced her to use Time Reverse again.
Next was Demiurge. Demiurge was not good at close combat, and as a strategist, his defensive measures were relatively weak. This wave of impact directly knocked off nearly half of his health.
Cocytus was the least injured. As the strongest guardian in close combat, his armor and skills allowed him to weather this crisis with only a slight cost.
Of course, in any case, Roa's attack made everyone fully aware of the situation.
Roa's strength was too great, so great that he could handle five level 100 high-end combatants with ease.
If this terrifying combat power was not eliminated, Ainz would have trouble sleeping and eating, especially since the two sides were already at odds.
"The matter has come to this, there is no turning back. Albedo can be resurrected through the Throne Room, but Roa must be killed today!"
"Widen Magic - Cry of the Banshee!"
A shrill and piercing scream echoed in the empty space.
The ear-piercing scream made Roa frown.
Cry of the Banshee, a range-type instant death magic, capable of triggering an instant death effect on all life within the effect range, is a wide-area life-slaying magic.
Ainz released this magic not to directly kill Roa with this one attack, but to reduce Roa's instant death resistance.
Roa had already been hit by Despair Aura. Although Roa used Life Drain to directly negate the stat-reducing buff of Despair Aura, Roa's instant death resistance had indeed been reduced.
And this magic attack was a prelude to the upcoming ultimate move.
Roa's eyes narrowed, his expression becoming extremely serious, but deep in his eyes, there was a flash of excitement.
"Are you finally going to use it? Your trump card, 'The Goal of All Life is Death'!"
Crack—Crack—
A huge clock appeared behind Ainz, a golden and dazzling clock with Roman numerals engraved on it. The crisp sound echoed around.
"The Goal of All Life is Death" is an enhanced type of instant death skill.
Ainz's strongest move, enhanced instant death magic, can ignore the opponent's instant death immunity and force instant death. It has a cooldown of 100 hours, which cannot be shortened or canceled.
This skill can only be learned by Ainz's special class, Eclipse, and has the powerful effect of ignoring the opponent's resistance and directly ending their life.
Regarding the description of this skill, the original work also has this evaluation: "Only the ruler of death who has truly exhausted death can use this skill, devouring all life like an eclipse."
