This price...
It's not low at all!
If they calculate the cost of reviving the NPCs eliminated during this catastrophe event, it would require over one to two billion gold coins...
Fortunately, everyone here is a pay-to-win player.
Although Albedo has yet to meet Uehara Naraku, Tabula Smaragdina can almost guarantee that Albedo will definitely be killed by Uehara Naraku...
Up until now, Uehara Naraku has never left anyone alive...
Not to mention Albedo wielding a world-class item, for Uehara Naraku who loves collecting world-class items, Albedo is simply a piece of meat served on a platter...
Elsewhere.
After Uehara Naraku eliminated all members of the Ainz Ooal Gown Guild, he gathered six world-class items, reaping far more than any other guild!
Uehara Naraku's steps did not halt, for he remembered the special nature of Albedo, the guardian overseer of Nazarick Great Tomb...
Rumor has it...
Albedo possesses a world-class item.
Though uncertain whether Albedo still holds the item under circumstances where world-class items are becoming increasingly valuable...
Nonetheless...
Might as well take a look...
The Throne Hall of Nazarick Great Tomb, where the last bastion of the Ainz Ooal Gown Guild stood, was also their usual gathering place.
Now, the Throne Hall has become a wasteland.
A fully armed, double-horned succubus, clad in divine artifact armor, swung her greatsword to fend off enemy attacks—she was Nazarick's last line of defense!
Indeed, it was Guardian Albedo!
Beside Albedo, an elderly NPC in a suit coordinated with her attacks; this was the butler Sebastian!
This elderly NPC excelled in fighting techniques, as Sebastian was crafted by Touch me, the world champion of player-versus-player combat!
However...
These NPCs, yet to birth sufficient intelligence, could only perform mechanical attacks and defenses here!
Uehara Naraku punched Albedo, causing her armor to shatter inch by inch, landing a fierce kick that sent this NPC flying away!
"..."
Albedo remained silent.
Albedo flew backward and smashed through the wall, finally crashing to the ground as fresh blood spewed from her mouth...
Her HP had bottomed out.
Now, this succubus NPC finally revealed her true form, though her figure appeared curvaceous, her face beautiful... yet her expression seemed perpetually icy and unfeeling, appearing no different from other NPCs, utterly emotionless.
"Even lacking the feeling of pain?"
Uehara Naraku raised his eyebrow, sparks of electricity danced at his fingertips, instantly striking down onto Albedo!
This succubus NPC, still cold-faced, was killed, dropping a world-class item.
"So it still exists?"
Just as Uehara Naraku intended to pick up the world-class item, Sebastian lunged forward again, kicking to force him back!
Bam!
Uehara Naraku's arm blocked the kick!
Upon collision, Sebastian's kicking leg was directly parried by Uehara Naraku's arm, causing the leg bone to snap as if hitting steel!
Uehara Naraku punched Sebastian's face, sending this equally expressionless butler flying, his fingers leisurely pinched: "Mr. Sebastian, it seems I'm a bit stronger than you..."
"..."
Yet Sebastian remained expressionless.
After all, Sebastian is merely an NPC, even if the game's world allows substantial freedom, it cannot directly grant him a soul...
"Hmm, don't understand?"
Uehara Naraku shook his head, sighed, bent down to pick up the world-class item beside Albedo, and helped close the eyes of this succubus who died with an unseeing stare: "Never mind, soon enough you'll be able to understand..."
