"Demiurge, what do you think we should do now?"
Ainz's voice held back anger and sought a final answer from Demiurge.
For a moment, Demiurge pushed up his glasses and replied firmly, "Ainz-sama, although the opponent is strong, this incident is clearly another provocation by the opponent against the Great Tomb of Nazarick."
"We cannot continue to let it go. We must forcefully resist and let the other party know that we are not easy to bully!"
As soon as this was said, many Guardians in the conference hall echoed.
"Exactly! Can't let that person be too proud!"
"Since we won last time, this time we can definitely defeat the opponent until they fall!"
"Saying... That's right."
Aura's and others' reactions were as Demiurge expected.
As the proposer of the plan, on the surface he continued to smile confidently, but inwardly he couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Although in the last battle at the Re-Estize Royal Capital, Nazarick won the final victory, it did not achieve a decent result.
The expected gain from killing Kael was completely offset by the resurrection item's teleportation. Given the threat of Kael's return after his recovery, the royal capital could not be taken under his command. After plundering property, he could only choose destruction.
Because of Shalltear's sacrifice, a high-value World Item fell into the enemy's hands.
In relation to his past, Demiurge was not willing to start another war against the Church of Destiny at this time.
Only as a vassal, in addition to necessary strategic considerations, he also had to pay attention to Ainz-sama's attitude towards the incident.
Narberal was also a created member of the Supreme Beings. Now she was in a fatal crisis. Even if he knew it was a trap, Ainz-sama would definitely want to save her.
That was Ainz-sama's will, and Ainz-sama's mercy.
The reason Ainz-sama did not propose a rescue plan was because he suppressed his own desires for Nazarick's safety.
Everything in the Great Tomb of Nazarick exists for Ainz-sama. If his desires can be fulfilled, it's worth doing no matter the cost!
Besides, everyone in Nazarick was ultimately boosted by the victory in the last royal capital, and this spirit could not be crushed for a while.
The last point, on the surface, was exactly as he had said.
After several battles, Nazarick had gathered relatively complete intelligence about the high-ranking members of the Church of Destiny, especially Kael himself.
At this time, a war was initiated, and it was not without Nazarick's single combat power.
If faced with the Church of Destiny's provocation, Nazarick still chose to endure, which would only make the other party more unscrupulous.
Conversely, expressing one's own attitude with a tough fight and counterattack would gain more room for Nazarick to survive.
"If that's the case, then we will fight the other party again!"
Ainz rose from his throne, and with a hint of audacity in his firm tone, he commanded, "This time we will send out the entire force, just as we did last time in the Re-Estize Royal Capital, to win the final victory of the battle!"
"Yes!"
Demiurge and the others all received their orders, and the atmosphere in the hall instantly reached an emotional climax.
E-Rantel, Marquis Raven's Residence.
Narberal's magic power had been depleted, and she was now relying on close-range abilities to fight her final battle as a trapped beast. However, she was no match for Lakyus at all, and the battle was rapidly approaching its ultimate conclusion.
Lakyus delivered a powerful blow and cut Narberal's combat staff with her sword, forcing her back.
At this moment, Gagaran, who had been observing the battle from the start, seized the opportunity and used a similar fast-moving skill to get behind Narberal, slamming her into the air with a heavy hammer blow.
"Ugh!"
With a stifled groan, two cold lights flashed through the air, and Narberal's arms were simultaneously severed by Lakyus and the Heroic Spirit, spraying blood and flying to both sides.
Lakyus turned again and kicked Narberal hard to the ground.
After a resounding thud, several members of the Church of Destiny quickly stepped forward and captured Narberal, who was unable to resist, using chain restraints.
"Evileye, when you take her back to the Holy City and put her in the holy prison, remember to take good care of her. The Supreme Beings will have to interrogate her personally in the future."
After Lakyus fell to the ground, she immediately explained to Evileye.
After the battle just now, she had roughly judged Narberal's power level.
Among the five-member Blue Roses, except for herself, only Evileye should be better than Narberal.
And considering that Narberal was a magic user, the Holy Prison's confinement, although it had a special effect that prohibited magic transmission, did not guarantee that Narberal would not be able to escape.
So it would be most appropriate to choose Evileye as the caretaker.
"I know."
Evileye then lifted the spatial blockade in this area and teleported back to the Holy City, dragging Narberal, whose arms had been severed.
Almost as fast as lightning.
The two had just vanished when six figures suddenly appeared in the sky, giving Lakyus and the others a warning.
"You... People from the Great Tomb of Nazarick! Everyone, be on alert!"
Lakyus's expression changed slightly, and she immediately put herself on guard while warning the other church members loudly.
The newcomers were Shalltear, along with five other Battle Maid members.
After glancing around, she didn't see Narberal's figure, only two severed arms lying on the ground. How could Shalltear not guess that she was already in dire straits? Anger immediately surged within her.
"You ants!!!"
With a loud shout, Shalltear waved her hand and pointed it at Lakyus, who was clearly the target, unleashing Ninth Tier Magic: [Vermilion Nova]!
The blazing red lotus flame completely engulfed Lakyus in an instant.
As if uncontrollable, the severe burning pain made Lakyus groan uncontrollably.
"Lakyus! Damn it!!"
Her companion was attacked, and Gagaran naturally didn't stand by. She activated the effect of her boots and flew directly into the air.
Not only her, but the ninja twins Tia and Tina also unleashed their [Shadow Raid] skill and appeared directly behind Shalltear, with two artifact-tier daggers pressed against Shalltear's back of the neck.
"Naive!"
Feeling the chill coming from behind, Shalltear snorted in disdain, and the space around her quickly turned gray in her eyes.
[Self-Acceleration]!
After greatly increasing her mobility, Shalltear quickly spun around, swept the blood-red spear in her hand, and sent sisters Tia and Tina flying far away, easily completing the fatal strike.
However, before she could even boast, a blade of wind swept directly across her body, as if intending to slice her cleanly in two. The attack actually caused her HP value to drop by more than half in an instant!
Shalltear turned around in disbelief, and saw Lakyus on the ground in a swinging and slashing posture, with the greatsword in her hand glowing with a strange brilliance.
