The fierce battle inside the [Map of Mountains, Rivers, and Countries] had not yet ended, while the battle outside had become a one-sided and tragic scene.
"Shadow: [Thousand Cuts]!"
"[Thor's Hammer]!"
"[Gravity Vortex]!"
A swift shadow flashed past her, a violent hammer charged forward like a ferocious rhinoceros, and a terrifying magic sphere locked onto her and bombarded her.
Although Albedo was doing her best to defend, she had taken heavy damage, and her three-layered armor was severely damaged. The final sword, [Dimension Severance], which was strong enough to cut through space, swept past, completely shattering the remaining armor on Albedo's body, leaving no trace of protection.
I hate this!
Trying her best to maintain her flying state, Albedo gritted her teeth and stared at the woman holding the longsword in front of her with unwilling eyes. There was no doubt that Lakyus truly wanted to kill her.
Even if Lakyus were alone, it would be difficult for her to deal with her. However, the woman in front of her didn't relax at all and chose to join forces with four teammates to surround her. With such a huge power gap, she could only passively take a beating.
I wonder how Cocytus and the others are doing?
Knowing that she was destined to die and that all her skills had been exhausted, making her no longer able to resist, Albedo shifted her attention slightly and glanced at another part of the battlefield.
But just this one glance made her mood plummet to the bottom.
That burly blue insect creature was stabbed through the chest by a spear. Its head had disappeared, leaving only a few scorched marks on its broken neck, and a strangely colored blood continued to flow out.
The creature with a human appearance but covered with scales fell to the ground. Its lower body had also disappeared without a trace, and the remaining body was covered with traces of various magical bombardments.
Dead. Cocytus and Sebastian both died in battle.
This was natural. They had been targeted by the fierce attack of the Super-Tier magic [Magic Copy: Platinum Explosion] at the beginning of the war, and they couldn't hold out for long against Leinas and the others while wounded. What's more, the surrounding Church of Destiny army wouldn't just stand there and watch, they would also add buffs to their generals and use instant magic to restrain and attack the enemy. Under such a huge disadvantage, defeat seemed inevitable.
Puff!
The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh suddenly rang in her ears. Albedo, who had been distracted, immediately came back to her senses and felt a sharp pain. Looking closer, she saw that three figures had taken the opportunity to rush toward her. The Tiatina sisters swung their daggers to sever both of her arms, and the Champion Sword in Lakyus's hand mercilessly pierced her chest!
The demon's vitality was quite strong, but its body structure was still like that of a living creature. A mouthful of blood rushed up her throat and then flowed out of her mouth. Albedo gritted her teeth and said to Lakyus, "You're just wasting your time. It won't be long before I reappear! And then you will die!"
"No matter how many times we fight, I will completely destroy your nest and kill all of you monsters!" Lakyus snorted coldly with a firm tone, pulled the Champion Sword out of Albedo's chest, and swung it again, cutting off her head.
As Albedo's head and body fell, as if a mysterious switch had been activated, all the Guardians and NPC corpses on the battlefield turned into a neon light and scattered, and the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick in the center of the 'Valley' was covered with a layer of special energy.
Buzz buzz buzz!
White energy, with the underground building as its foundation, quickly rose and condensed into the walls and ceilings on each level. In just a few seconds, the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, which had been damaged by the Church army, was restored to its original state. If the surrounding land had not been moved away and the battlefield had not been left with a large number of magical equipment lost by the enemy, it would have been as if a battle had never occurred here.
Wow!
There was an uproar among the Church's army. Not all the soldiers present knew everything about Nazarick. Even for most believers, they had just received a sudden war order and arrived here, then followed the commander's instructions to attack the monsters that seemed extremely powerful.
It was magical that a building that had been so badly damaged by us was restored to its original state in the blink of an eye.
"Don't be dazed! Keep attacking!"
Lakyus gave the order to the entire army again through loudspeaker magic. The commanders of each unit came to their senses and hurriedly called their soldiers, and a new round of magic bombardment began.
In the Throne Room on the tenth level of Nazarick. In stark contrast to the previous emptiness, the hall was now filled with a large number of gold coins and magical equipment, and the maids were constantly transporting goods from the treasury here.
"Ainz-sama, let's go out again."
Albedo bowed to Ainz with a firm expression, then without looking back, she led the newly resurrected Cocytus and the others out of the Throne Room.
Ainz did not say anything, but watched them leave in silence, a trace of worry appearing in his heart. NPCs themselves could also use gold coins to resurrect to avoid the attribute degradation caused by death, but the equipment lost on the battlefield could not be recovered.
In other words, in each battle, Albedo and the others would lose a set of magical weapons that suited them. There was no doubt that Nazarick could not sustain such consumption, but he couldn't let Albedo and the others fight without wearing any equipment, because without the blessing of equipment, their combat effectiveness would be greatly weakened, which was tantamount to suicide.
Then why go out and fight?
Because the enemy wouldn't enter the Great Tomb themselves, if their attacks were ignored, Nazarick would eventually be completely destroyed, which would also be a slow death.
Since the war began, Ainz had thought more than once that if the enemy were like them in the YGGDRASIL game, they could only conquer the Great Tomb by entering Nazarick to explore and destroy the guild weapon.
Or maybe the enemy's strength wasn't so overwhelming, and even without the help of the defense mechanism inside the Great Tomb, the entire Nazarick army would be enough to fight the enemy in the field, or even destroy them.
If that were possible, it would be an incredible thing.
Ainz shook his head, put these unrealistic thoughts behind him, and began to think about another serious problem.
If... the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick were to finally be breached or destroyed by the enemy, would Albedo and the others die with it?
If Albedo and the others could survive the destruction of the Great Tomb, then no matter what the cost, he would do his best to lead everyone out of here. If not, there was no point for him to live alone in this different world. Fighting to the end with Albedo and the others and dying together would be his best destination.
"Hah! Then prepare yourselves."
After making up his mind, Ainz contacted Pandora's Actor, who had been staying in the treasury. "Pandora's Actor, bring all the World Items to the Throne Room. I want to be in top form for the coming battle."
