"Lord Ainz!"
Demiurge turned back, which gave Ainz a real headache.
After all, there's a wild Shalltear sitting right under my butt right now!
He had just sent Aura and Mare away to keep watch around when Cocytus went into battle, so he could find an excuse to get off Shalltear, but unexpectedly Demiurge turned back.
"Demiurge, is there anything else?" Ainz asked with feigned composure and great authority.
"Yes, Lord Ainz! I, Demiurge, am extremely grateful for Lord Ainz's kindness!" Demiurge immediately knelt down, uttering nonsensical words.
"Demiurge, I appreciate your gratitude. Continue to serve Nazarick loyally from now on!" Ainz was completely bewildered. What had he done now? How did Demiurge suddenly become grateful to him again?
"Your subordinate will serve Nazarick with all your heart and soul!" Demiurge lowered his head.
Uh... this is so strange, Demiurge, can you explain this?
Ainz thought so, but it was just a thought; he couldn't say it out loud. So... should he test the waters?
"So... Demiurge, how's it going?" Ainz wanted to probe a little, hoping to get some information out of Demiurge.
"Initially, there wasn't much progress. The monsters we cultivated weren't much different from the monsters that Lord Ainz summoned directly, and in some ways, they were even inferior to Lord Ainz's summons," Demiurge said.
"Is that so..." Ainz said, but that wasn't what he really thought. Raising monsters? He'd never heard Demiurge mention that before, and he hadn't been of any help at all! Ainz thought to himself.
"As expected of Lord Ainz! After realizing my intentions, you actually used this method to enlighten me. I have the utmost respect for Lord Ainz!" Demiurge said another sentence that Ainz was completely confused about.
How did I end up reminding Demiurge again?
The more I try to figure it out, the more confused I get! Although I know it's related to Demiurge's monster breeding, I haven't done anything to make Demiurge grateful to me!
Ainz was even more bewildered, though he still maintained a dignified demeanor on the surface.
"As expected of Ainz... sir." Shalltear, panting heavily, chimed in from beneath him.
"You pervert, shut up!" Ainz thought to himself.
"Hmm... Demiurge, although the Guardians weren't created by me, you are still like my children. As a parent, I naturally care about your affairs." Ainz made up some nonsense, because he really didn't know how to get any information out of Demiurge.
"Ah! I understand!! I will certainly treat the skeletal warrior with intelligence and self-awareness that Lord Ainz created with kindness!"
Upon hearing this, Demiurge seemed to understand something again! His eyes gleamed.
"Okay! Let's do it then!" Ainz waved his hand with an air of superiority.
Even more confused, what kind of intelligent and self-aware skeletal warriors are these?
When did I ever create something like this?
Besides, since I transmigrated here, the commands in the game system have become completely unusable. How could I possibly create something with intelligence and self-awareness?
Thinking about it carefully, the only skeleton warriors I summoned recently were the bunch I just summoned for the sake of showing off. Was there something wrong with those skeleton warriors?
I care so much!
Although he knew that the skeletal warriors he summoned were just level 20-something monsters, not even qualified to be tanks in the game.
Although we haven't actually tested their combat capabilities since arriving here, the skeletal warriors summoned in the first few tests were basically just puppets that obeyed orders, just like the Death Knights, and their duration was not long. How could they have intelligence and self-awareness?
I care so much!
I really want to go and see what's going on!
...
A little while later, Xiao Di returned with a big smile on her face. Although Xiao Di's face always looked like she was smiling, Elizabeth was a little puzzled. Why did she just leave her here like that?
I want to see Lord Anko! I want to see Lord Anko!
Elizabeth screamed inwardly, but dared not move rashly, for the two Death Knights behind her were watching her intently!
I was afraid that if I made any sudden movements, it might get torn down. When Xiao Di came back, she just looked at me with a smile and didn't say anything.
Then he summoned Xiao Di's personal guards, his angry demon generals, who simply packed him up and took him away!
No! I still want to see Anzi!! Don't take me away!!
Although Elizabeth cried out in her heart, she was unable to speak and convey this "longing" to others.
Afterwards, Elizabeth was taken by the Angry Demon to some unknown place. Since she had come through a portal, she couldn't accept that the place was real.
Whether it's psychological or physical, the floor and ceiling seem like they're made of fleshy chunks that are writhing. Is it really necessary to be so horrifying?
Is this the filming location for Saya no Uta?
The question now is, why would the Angry Demon bring himself here?
Uh… does that mean I have to be executed?
I don't think so.
If they wanted to execute me, those two death knights could have easily slapped me to pieces. There was no need for the Wrathful Demon General to lift a finger. And why bring me to such a terrifying place... What are they trying to do?
Does this mean I'm being sent to Xiao Di's Happy Ranch?
No! I absolutely don't want this!! I don't want to become a two-legged sheep!!
Hmm... that doesn't make sense either. I'm just a skeleton now, I can't be a two-legged sheep, right? That's strange.
Before Elizabeth could finish wondering what was going on, the Angry Demon shoved her into a dark, jar-like object and locked her up.
Wow!! That's disgusting! This doesn't look like a jar at all, it looks like the stomach of some monster!
Although she had no sense of touch and no light, Elizabeth could still clearly feel the place where she was confined wriggling...
Wow!! What is this?!
Although she felt no pain, it wasn't until she had been in this disgusting place for a while that Elizabeth realized... when her feet had disappeared.
To be precise, it was melted away. Oh, I see... This way of dying is really something...
Damn it! You wretched god! That's not fair of you!
It's one thing to not give me overpowered skills or cheats, but you didn't complain when you turned me into a little skeleton, did you?
That's outrageous! They actually tried to kill me this way!
The crucial point is! Before dying again... I won't be able to die in peace if I don't see Lord Anko! And this time, dying feels even worse than being hit by a car last time!
It melted away completely, leaving not even a trace...
Just as Elizabeth was blaming the god who had transported her here, most of her body had melted away. Now, Elizabeth could only be thankful that she was incapable of feeling pain.
And it's fortunate that there's no light at all in here, so you can't see yourself being dissolved.
Alright, this is really goodbye, Elizabeth... She's survived two more chapters, but in the end, she's still going to die. There's nothing I can do about fate. See you in the next book!
Elizabeth closed her eyes peacefully.
