The cold and bone-piercing words, at this moment, seemed to be infinitely amplified.
Falling in Daz's ears, it had a feeling of the god of death urging him to die.
He never expected that he had just regained a small life in Kai's hands not long ago.
Now he had to face the threat of death again.
The honor of the former powerhouse had directly disappeared at this moment.
Faced with the halberd that was rapidly slashing down from the air in his pupils, his hands were still in the throes of the collision just now and clearly couldn't catch up.
The only thing he could do was to watch death descend.
"Cocytus, enough!"
Kai's voice suddenly rang out.
At this moment, for anyone, it was like the sound of nature.
Watching the halberd that was slashing down, it suddenly stopped when it was one inch away.
As the sharp slashing gale swept down, it brought a crackling sound like rain hitting plantain leaves.
It made people feel their pupils contract suddenly. Wherever the gale passed, everything was frozen.
Even Daz's body surface had a thin layer of ice crystals.
However, when they saw clearly what the person who had launched the sneak attack looked like, their faces were full of disbelief.
It was a huge insect man!
At least, the first adjective that flashed through their minds was only this one.
He was about three meters tall, and his whole body was like he was wearing light blue armor. He had four arms and a distinctly scaled tail.
As a pair of eyes suddenly turned, they landed on Kai.
As his huge body turned, in front of everyone's eyes, he suddenly knelt on one knee.
"Nazarick Great Tomb's 5th-Floor Guardian Cocytus greets the great Supreme Being, Ainz Ooal Gown!"
The loud words, at this moment, were like they had been infused with magic and echoed in the huge palace for a long time and couldn't be dispelled.
Watching this insect man who had suddenly appeared and was pressing Daz to cut him down, he actually called Kai Lord.
Then his identity was self-evident.
He was probably the guardian of the Nazarick Great Tomb.
Right now, a guardian's strength was so powerful.
Then if there were a few more, it would probably be a nightmare.
Perhaps sensing what Nico Robin and the others were thinking, Cocytus suddenly raised his head and said respectfully, "Lord Ainz, I have just awakened from my slumber."
"However, I haven't found any trace of Albedo, Shalltear Bloodfallen, and the others. May I ask Lord Ainz, what exactly is going on?"
As these words came out, Nico Robin and the others' expressions changed drastically.
Especially Daz, who had suffered a lot, had an even more iron-blue expression.
One guardian had already made them suffer a lot.
According to Cocytus's statement, there were more guardians than just him, and there was an unknown number.
If this news spread out, it would probably cause a sensation throughout the world.
After all, not long ago, the Skeletal Demon had suddenly appeared. In the eyes of outsiders, he was only alone.
However, with just one person, he had played the Marine Headquarters in the palm of his hand.
Now there were also an unknown number of subordinates with unknown strength. This was a huge force.
For anyone, it was a nightmare.
"Cocytus, I'm very happy to see you, who is so loyal." Kai was also a little surprised.
He had originally thought that the system had only given him an empty Nazarick Great Tomb and that he needed to spend time to collect some underlings to fill it up.
He never expected that it would directly send out a level 100 NPC.
This was said to be one of the four strongest people in melee combat in the Nazarick Great Tomb.
He was known as the Ruler of the Glacier! His classes were Sword Saint, Asura, and Niflheim Knight!
If he was let out, he could probably be comparable to the admiral level.
As for how the victory or defeat would be, Kai didn't dare to draw a conclusion.
Hearing this, Cocytus was stunned for a moment and said with a moved and excited expression, "Thank you for Lord Ainz's love. Being able to awaken first and be used by Lord Ainz is Cocytus's honor."
"It's just that I didn't know just now that these weak insects were Lord Ainz's guests, so I acted rashly. I hope Lord Ainz will punish me severely!"
Watching Cocytus, who had finished saying the harsh words and directly held the halberd in both hands and handed it to Kai, this kind of single-minded loyalty made even Kai startled.
As for Daz and the others, their expressions were even more iron-blue.
Looking at him and Nico Robin, who were the strongest executives in Baroque Works, usually they were feared by people.
They never expected that in this insect man's mouth, they would become weak insects.
However, thinking of the sudden fight just now, it made them unable to refute it.
Especially Daz, not long ago, he still had a bit of arrogance in his heart for Kai's repeated invitations.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have rejected Kai's transaction and sought to show his ambition with death.
He had originally thought that Kai couldn't do without him.
He never expected that a guardian who just walked out of Kai's command wouldn't be someone he could compare to.
This huge gap between the front and the back made Daz unable to accept it for a moment.
"Cocytus, you're not wrong. As a guardian of the Nazarick Great Tomb, your dedication makes me very gratified. I'm also very happy to see you." Kai said in a deep voice.
He slammed the staff in his hand on the ground and said, "However, before I give the order, you acted without authorization. That's a very big mistake."
"Now, I want to punish you. From now on, be doubly loyal to me and promote the reputation of the Nazarick Great Tomb!"
The awe-inspiring words echoed in the huge palace.
Originally, everyone had thought that Kai was actually going to punish Cocytus.
They never expected that he was just hanging a sheep's head and selling dog meat, saying a few harsh words and then comforting him again.
However, watching Cocytus's excited gaze and the gesture of heavily patting his chest to show his loyalty, the people who were present had a dumbfounded expression.
"Thank you for Lord Ainz's love. Wherever Lord Ainz's banner points, the weapon in Cocytus's hand will split everything open. May the glory of the Supreme Being of the Nazarick Great Tomb, Lord Ainz, spread throughout this land!"
The rolling words gave people a deafening feeling.
Faced with Cocytus's unquestionable posture, only one thought flashed through the minds of the people who were present.
The insect man in front of them had definitely been brainwashed in a pyramid scheme.
Probably if Kai told him to die now, he would also not hesitate and directly draw his sword and commit suicide.
Of course, faced with the fanatical Cocytus, they didn't dare to act rashly. The only thing they could do was to stand aside and watch obediently.
"Alright, Cocytus, I've already seen your loyalty. Now you wait aside first. Allow me to resolve the other trivial matters first." Kai responded in a deep voice.
He had a lot of confidence in the loyalty of the NPCs in the Bone King's original work.
After all, that kind of die-hard loyalty was completely comparable to pyramid scheme brainwashing.
