Chapter 17 - OTKE Chapter 17: The Gears of Assassination

Hades used the monocular telescope to observe the situation below. The assassination was about to begin.

His heart was as still as water, without the slightest ripple. This wasn't because he was so calm by nature, but because of the blessing of the undead body.

Without unnecessary distractions, he could clearly arrange things in an orderly manner and could minimize the impact of emotion.

Hades, although he didn't like it, had to admit the excellence of the undead body. In the lens of the monocular telescope, two Hanzos had already quietly lurked not far from the elf twins.

Two more Hanzos had targeted the fifteen eight-limbed blade assassin bugs. The invisibility ability of this monster was outstanding, but once discovered, it wasn't difficult to deal with.

Hanzos were monsters with a level of over 80, and they were also ninjas, a special class. Even level 100 players would find it difficult to detect their concealment ability.

As for their combat ability, it was even stronger. Using one to deal with these eight-limbed blade assassin bugs was already more than enough. Having an extra one was to prevent any accidents.

Hades had summoned a total of five Hanzos. This was actually all he had. He only had five magic item books to summon Hanzos.

Four of them were ambushing the elf twins and the eight-limbed blade assassin bugs, and the last one was hidden in his shadow for contingencies.

Because Albedo was always following Momonga, and Momonga was a magic caster, he naturally needed a warrior to act as the vanguard.

Hades had already planned how to get rid of Albedo, the vanguard, but as an assassination, it was better to have more insurance.

Hanzos were thief-class characters, so they could use some scrolls to cast magic. As a tool to save magic power, scrolls could only be used by magic casters, and it had to be a magic that existed in the magic caster's skill tree.

For example, a priest's "Blessing" magic scroll couldn't be used by a mana-based magic caster. Priests belonged to the faith system, so the mana system naturally couldn't be used.

Therefore, it was even more impossible for warrior-like classes to use scrolls.

But there were exceptions. Thieves could use skills to deceive magic items and use some items without special restrictions.

Hanzos themselves could use ninjutsu. Because ninjutsu consumed MP, it could be regarded as the ninja's magic, but ninjutsu still had limitations and wasn't as convenient as magic.

Hades distributed various scrolls needed for the ambush to the four Hanzos. The tier of the scrolls wasn't low.

Although he didn't know if he could find high-level materials in this world to replenish the scrolls, being stingy now would reduce the success rate of the ambush.

There was a saying that you can't catch wolves without letting go of the kids. He couldn't really wait until the Ainz Ooal Gown members noticed him and prepared to attack him before he made preparations. It would be too late then.

The organizer of the 1500-person subjugation force back then listed their shocking evidence of crimes.

That guild constantly PKed people, seized their equipment, and even World Items had been taken away.

Because of constant PK, the Ainz Ooal Gown guild had offended many people in YGGDRASIL. Over the years, it finally erupted into that 1500-person siege.

Hades wasn't unaware of what kind of social environment his original world was. In that high-pressure and harsh environment, there would definitely be many people who were dissatisfied with society and wanted to retaliate against society.

Maybe those people didn't dare to do this in reality, so they went on a killing spree in the virtual world.

And judging from Ainz Ooal Gown's consistent behavior in the game, it was hard not to think that the guild was full of people who retaliated against society.

Hades didn't dare to bet his life on the other party's moral standards. After coming to reality and suddenly obtaining such great power, it might make that group of people even more insane, completely disregarding whether it was reality.

Maybe this was just Hades' unfounded worries, but it was better to strike first than to regret it later. He didn't hate society, because his family was well-off, but he wouldn't be a silly white sweet.

Four Hanzos were dispatched to the ground, quietly lurking beside the elf twins and those bugs.

According to the news from the Hanzos and his own observations, the enemies hadn't discovered them.

This put Hades' mind at ease. Hanzos were worthy of being ninjas. Even level 100 NPCs hadn't discovered their existence. Next, he just needed to wait for an opportunity.

He would strike as soon as Momonga left that house. There were villagers inside the house. Rashly attacking would cause innocent deaths.

Moreover, the space there was narrow. Even if he used teleportation magic, Momonga would notice something was wrong the first time, thus burying the first opportunity.

It was better to assassinate him in an open area as much as possible.

Huh! Wait a minute...

Hades suddenly discovered that the village was surrounded by someone at some point. Because his attention was all on Momonga, he had neglected to observe the surrounding environment.

Those people were wearing uniform clothes and black cloaks. Were they natives? Were they going to rob this village? Eh! Wait a minute... that is...

""Arc Angel Flame!" Hades was shocked and continued to observe.

This angel's level wasn't high, but it was a monster in YGGDRASIL. Why would there be monsters from YGGDRASIL in this world? And those people were using tier magic to summon them.

Hades suddenly wanted to overturn the possibility that this was the real world and thought that he was still in the virtual world of YGGDRASIL, but reason told him that this couldn't be in the virtual world.

So there was only one possibility: the natives of this world could use tier magic.

This discovery made Hades both happy and worried. He was happy because if there was tier magic in this world, then he might be able to find some helpers to eradicate the Great Tomb of Nazarick together.

But he was worried because, since there was magic in this world, he wanted to know how strong his strength actually was.

Although those people below were using third-tier angel summoning magic, maybe these were just some small fries.

To be on the safe side, Hades used the telescope to observe the surrounding situation again, confirming that there were no others besides the villagers, the Nazarick members, and this group of magic casters who had surrounded the village.

In reality, there was no clear numerical table like in YGGDRASIL. Hades could only judge their levels through these people's magic.

They could use third-tier magic; the highest was level 21. No..., he should estimate it higher. Double it for them. Maybe they could use sixth-tier magic, the highest was level 42.

Their numbers weren't small, but one Hanzo should be able to deal with them. It was easy for a monster with a level of over 80 to deal with a group of level 40 characters.

He just didn't know if these natives would affect his assassination plan. To prevent the assassination plan from going wrong, he should let the fifth Hanzo, who was hidden in his shadow, meet those natives.

Hmm? Wait a minute...

Hades saw that the strong man who had talked to Momonga before was leading people and riding horses towards the group of magic casters.

Eh... was it a conflict between the natives? That was good. Wait, what was Momonga doing?

Hades' heart tightened, and he quickly switched the scene. When he saw that Momonga was still in that house, he put his mind at ease. Next, he would stare at Momonga.

As soon as he left that house, he and the four Hanzos who were ambushing below would move at the same time.
