Holy Grail War? Dragon Ball War

This proves that the other party is still lingering and hiding nearby.

His skills are so exceptional that even when he hides himself, it's difficult for him to pinpoint his exact location.

A profession specializing in thievery?

That's the only possibility.

Perhaps the other party was waiting for me to leave, then became careless and seized the opportunity to attack.

Pretend to rest here first, and see if the other party will deliberately reveal a weakness.

If you can't find the other party, then "luring the snake out of its hole" is the best approach.

Anyway, the Kaz Plains are very close to the Great Tomb of Nazarick, so we can teleport there or call for reinforcements whenever needed.

It's just a pity that "Momo's" identity cannot be wasted.

This is the "smaller version" that he painstakingly raised to travel in the outside world.

If something trivial is exposed, it's a huge loss; all the reputation and hard work you've put in all that time will be wasted.

Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the security of this identity and prevent others from seeing what the true identity is.

"Yes"

Nabe had no idea how many thought processes Ainz went through in that short period of time.

She could only sit down next to them with a hint of suspicion.

No matter how I try to sense it, there is no sign of any living being.

But Lord Ainz said that person was still nearby.

Could it be an enemy of a higher level than myself?

Her expression was more wary than usual; if necessary, she would act as a human shield for Ainz at any time.

(It won't come out.)

Sitting on the ground, lost in thought, Ainz was somewhat impressed by the other person's patience.

He was deliberately revealing many weaknesses, just to see if it would provoke an attack.

But to my surprise, even so, the person still didn't take the bait.

Troublesome

What exactly is the other party thinking?

Do I have to leave on my own?

Aside from the ashes of the undead, there's no gold or silver treasure in this area.

……

Did you sit down and rest?

Unable to understand the other party's intentions, Seiya frowned as he observed.

He confirmed that the other person must have realized they were being "watched".

But why didn't they leave and instead chose to rest where they were?

Is he confident of success, or does he have ulterior motives?

I thought that continuing to spy on them would make them want to leave, so I decided to follow them and see what would happen.

Unexpectedly, the other party did the opposite, seemingly planning to spend the night there.

This is abnormal.

This is a very difficult guy to deal with.

Having made this judgment, he slightly changed his opinion of it.

The enemies I've encountered in the past were mostly eager to show off, and even those who occasionally had hidden cards were easy prey.

But the two people in front of me were very calm.

It's also impossible to launch an attack without authorization, as the opponent might already have counterattack skills or magic ready.

He could have chosen to leave directly, but because of the investigation into the identities of the two people, Seiya did not intend to leave so easily.

Any intelligence that may be related to the Dragon Ball Wars should be taken seriously.

Not to mention that "Black Momo" is an adventurer of the Adamantite rank, and has the potential to become a Master.

Then came the long standoff.

It's late at night.

Chapter 466 Unexpected Gains

(Ah, it still hasn't come out.)

Even though he hadn't made any threatening moves or suspicious behavior, the other party still didn't leave, and it felt like they were going to keep him occupied.

This tricky feeling seems to be something I only experienced when I was fighting the unknown hidden boss in "YGGDRASIL".

Are they really planning to stay here and keep surveillance going?

That's just not realistic no matter how you look at it.

Initially, he thought that if he dragged it out for a while, the other party would probably not be able to stand it and leave or attack.

Counterattack, escape, trap, encirclement

I've already imagined many possible scenarios.

But this state of being staring blankly at each other was something I hadn't expected.

He originally thought that if the other party launched an attack, he could counterattack appropriately and capture them alive.

Even if the other party leaves, he can follow that feeling of unease and track them down, and who knows, he might be able to find their hideout and affiliation.

Either way, it's a win-win situation for Ainz.

But why did they choose this awkward confrontation?

He didn't move, and neither did the other party.

I've been here for almost two hours already!

Ainz felt a jolt of pain in his stomach, his mind screaming inside.

(Even if they're waiting for reinforcements, they should be here by now, right?)

To be honest, it has a kind of stiffness that makes you feel restless.

(No, I can't keep dragging this on aimlessly.)

Completely unable to guess what the other party wanted to do, Ainz stood up abruptly.

Nabe, who had been on high alert the whole time, turned her head to look over.

"It seems I was overthinking it. Let's go."

We have no choice but to make a change of tactics, otherwise who knows how long this agonizing standoff will last.

Since the other party refused to move and he was resting in place, he pretended to leave to see if it would cause any changes.

"Yes"

Although they remained on guard for two hours without any incident, Nabe did not complain or show any dissatisfaction; she simply followed her instructions.

They gradually emerged from the depths of the plains, defeating some of the newly spawned monsters along the way.

(Are you controlling the distance?)

Having roughly confirmed that the person was still following them, Ainz did not turn around to look in that direction.

The unease he felt would sometimes disappear and sometimes return.

This is the evidence.

To be honest, he relied on this strange feeling to "counter-detect" the other party's location.

After all, he couldn't possibly remove his armor to reveal his true form and use his magical abilities right now.

If this leads to a misunderstanding, it will be quite troublesome to handle.

With their incredible speed and stealth abilities, catching them won't be easy.

It seems the other party is also intentionally adjusting the distance of the surveillance.

(Speaking of which, you could also lure them to the vicinity of the Great Tomb of Nazarick and then use the Guardians to form an encirclement.)

(No, it wouldn't be good if we didn't catch it.)

They were almost at the kingdom's garrison camp, a place where adventurers could also rest, and Ainz was thinking of a new strategy.

But he then rejected the idea.

Putting aside stability, the risks alone are too high.
