Tsukasa soared in the sky alone. Because there would likely be a big battle next, she had Hanta, who lacked sufficient strength, wait in E-Rantel.
She didn't bring Alice on this mission either, because she felt this matter should end quickly, and Alice's strength was only barely passing; there was really no need for Alice to risk joining the battle.
Ainz Ooal Gown's designated location was easy to find because it was so conspicuous. A dark mass of the Undead army was stationed there, and the terrifying aura of despair made the air in this area extremely gloomy.
Speaking of which, if things ended, she could ask Ainz Ooal Gown about Necromancy Magic. Although she didn't plan to continue practicing Necromancy Magic, some of the knowledge would be of great help to her Doll Refinement Technique. Also, it was time for Alice to be upgraded; otherwise, with Alice's strength, encountering Ainz Ooal Gown's Guardians would still be very dangerous.
Suzuki Satoru, who was producing the army in the camp, noticed that his warning magic had been triggered. He looked up at the sky. This time, the Sword Saint arrived wearing a set of dashing and handsome equipment. Feeling the Sword Saint's powerful magic aura, Suzuki Satoru's mood lifted significantly.
Because in his heart...
The most desired strong reinforcement was the Sword Saint.
Second was Zesshi Zetsumei from the Slane Theocracy, and third was the Dragon Lord of that one Dragon Kingdom.
As for the remaining other countries...
Although it was a bit embarrassing to say, they were really just there to make up the numbers. After all, the difference in strength was too great. If people like them failed, the so-called allied forces would be useless.
"Incredible, her strength seems to have grown stronger again. Could it be that she knows a way to break the level cap? Lord Ainz..." Demiurge couldn't help but walk to Suzuki Satoru's ear and whisper a few words, wanting Lord Ainz to get the method out of her.
Suzuki Satoru couldn't help but wipe sweat in his heart. Demi really thought too highly of the two of them. Not to mention him, Suzuki Satoru, even if Ainz Ooal Gown himself took the field, he couldn't do such a thing. Ainz Ooal Gown was just more brutal and heartless than him, with more Patience; in reality, their IQs were the same, no difference.
He nodded reluctantly.
Indicating he would do his best.
But in his heart, he had no confidence at all.
Tsukasa didn't know that as soon as she arrived, these guys were plotting against her. She landed on the ground. What Suzuki Satoru had set up was only warning magic; as long as he didn't actively trigger it, no offensive measures would appear.
"I have come at your invitation."
"Thank you very much."
"You're welcome. When do we start the battle?"
Still so direct.
Suzuki Satoru didn't know how to evaluate this Sword Saint. Although sometimes he felt the Sword Saint had a similar temperament to himself, in terms of action style, this Sword Saint could be summarized in four words: resolute and vigorous, almost never hesitating.
Could it be just an illusion? He had originally thought the Sword Saint was a tactician like himself.
"Other allied forces are also coming. We will start the battle after the others arrive. After all, we still don't know how much military force is in the Goddess Cult's headquarters."
Although his side had summoned 500 High-tier Death Knights and 2,500 Enhanced Undead—enough military force to capture a country because these were elites he summoned personally—the members of the Goddess Cult basically everyone had that artifact-like Gospel. Combat power could not be measured by level and attributes at all; those guys were like they had obtained hidden classes.
"Are the reinforcements worth expecting?"
Although she felt it wasn't necessary, Tsukasa was not a blindly arrogant person. Having reinforcements was better than not having any, but it depended on the situation. If there were combat forces worth expecting in the reinforcements, then
waiting a bit wouldn't matter, but if there were no such characters, it's better to act as soon as possible, because that would be a pure waste of time. Moreover, during this waiting period, who knows what the Goddess Cult is doing.
She had an ominous premonition.
"The Platinum Dragon Lord and Zesshi Zetsumei have decided to join this united front. Their combat power should be worth expecting," Suzuki Satoru said with a smile.
To be honest, he was a bit surprised when he first received this news. The people of the Slane Theocracy were very sensible; it was great that they were easy to talk to. And the Platinum Dragon Lord—it could already be confirmed that that one hero was his puppet avatar. Who knows what this person was thinking, not spreading rumors about them but instead agreeing to join the united front they initiated.
"Those two will also participate? That's quite reliable." Tsukasa nodded. Although she hadn't actually met them, the combat power of those two should be decent, probably around her previous level.
After finishing the official business.
Tsukasa and Suzuki Satoru had no more topics.
Demi signaled to Suzuki Satoru from the side.
"Lord Ainz, go for it!"
Suzuki Satoru's heart was drumming.
Is it really convenient to ask about such things now? The Sword Saint won't get angry because of this, right? After all, involving something as important as breaking the level cap must be a very precious secret, possibly worth more than a World-Class Item. Won't he be hit for asking like this?
"that one..."
"?"
Tsukasa looked at Ainz Ooal Gown in confusion.
Although it was the first time seeing the true face of this King of the Undead, it felt a bit unexpected to her. Although his appearance was similar to what she had initially guessed—a terrifying King of the Undead—his temperament was much more plain than what she had seen before.
Should she say he lacked the demeanor of a powerhouse?
Or that he didn't look like an evil Demon God King?
"Sword Saint, do you have any tips for your usual training? It feels like you've become quite a bit stronger than before. If it's convenient, could you give some guidance? Although it's embarrassing, at our current level, the speed of improvement is a bit slow..."
Suzuki Satoru shouted in his heart.
He lied, but not completely. He just described the absolute impossibility of improvement as being slow. No, maybe it really was just slow, so slow that they themselves couldn't detect any progress.
Tsukasa thought for a moment.
While Suzuki Satoru and the others were incredibly nervous.
She said, "Tips for getting stronger... asking me such a question suddenly, I don't know how to answer. Because I'm only 16 this year and still growing."
"I... I see..."
Suzuki Satoru muttered to himself.
"So she's only 16... No, that's too exaggerated no matter how you look at it. Could it be that she's the protagonist of this world? Could we be..." Suzuki Satoru was suddenly terrified, thinking of certain novel tropes.
Because he found that Ainz Ooal Gown seemed to be a villainous role. In that case, if that one big boss Goddess Cult didn't appear, it was very likely he would be the Sword Saint's destined opponent, the evil destined to be eliminated.
Demiurge was also shocked.
Incredible.
To think such a powerful individual could be born from weak humans. It's not that she broke the level cap, but rather she possessed a higher level cap from the start. I'm truly curious if her descendants will inherit this talent; I really want to perform an experiment and see. If she were to unite with Lord Ainz, they should be able to give birth to the strongest successor, though the difficulty of conquest is a bit high.
