"That's really embarrassing."

Having been resurrected by Ainz using the power of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, Demiurge, draped in a cloth, knelt on the ground, bowing his head in apology.

"Don't you remember the reason for the encounter, the process of the battle, or the justification?"

"Yes"

Ainz checked its condition again and then asked, to which Demiurge answered very seriously.

(Is she the same as Shalltear?)

(As expected, NPCs receive some kind of defeat-related penalty when they revive.)

Shalltear, who was resurrected earlier, also lost about five days' worth of memories and didn't even know what she had experienced.

"Well"

"call"

Cocytus, Aura, and the others stared at Demiurge, wondering what it had gone through.

"Lord Ainz, there is something else that may be related to it."

"Huh? Tell me about it."

"Even if I am resurrected, I can still feel the pain of death."

"Given this situation, I may have been the victim of an unspeakable attack before."

"It could even be a fatal blow that kills me in one strike."

Upon hearing Demiurge's words, everyone's expression changed.

"Are you serious, Demiurge?"

"No, this is just speculation and cannot be confirmed, but such a possibility exists."

When asked again, the answer was still uncertain.

(High damage)

Lost in thought, Ainz considered the practicality of this.

If it truly is a magic or martial art capable of killing Demiurge with a single blow, then its scale must be considerable.

Excluding instant-kill skills, the goal is to instantly kill a level 100 NPC by inflicting heavy damage.

Perhaps even more powerful than his transcendental magic, Skyfall.

Even if Demiurge isn't the strongest among the guardians of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, it's important to know that it possesses various special resistances and isn't easily defeated by special magic or power.

They are just as difficult to deal with as, if not more so than, other guardians.

Such a character could be killed in one hit.

Even considering Ainz's years of PvP experience, it's still a bit unbelievable.

That would be enough to be classified as "exploiting a bug" and using "cheats".

Normally, if something like this really happened, I would have already called the GM to file a complaint.

"That's just theory, isn't it? Maybe he wasn't killed in one blow?"

Shalltear was confused by Demiurge's words and spoke up instead.

"Yes, yes."

"If there really is something that can kill Demiurge in one blow, then we'll have to rethink our strategy."

Maré and Cocytes were also skeptical of that explanation.

It is precisely because they understand how strong they are that they find that idea so absurd.

Can a single high-damage attack instantly kill Demiurge?

Perhaps only the supreme beings who have maxed out their equipment, buffs, items, potions, attribute advantages, and armor penetration could achieve that?

This doesn't even take into account the possibility that Demiurge can run, use magic, and acquire skills.

However, given its past performance, its claims cannot be ignored.

After considering the information he currently had, Ainz also remembered Demiurge's current condition.

Loss of memory of the battle

You don't even know the name of the person you're having an encounter with.

All I can remember is a vague, indistinct phrase.

Floating in the low atmosphere.

"The White-Haired Elf"

After uttering that important keyword, Ainz seemed to be deep in thought.

Could it be that there are truly powerful beings in this world whom he is unaware of?

Perhaps level 100 is just their limit, not the upper limit here?

The thought of creatures above level 100 made his face turn quite pale.

If that were the case, it might be possible to kill Demiurge in one fell swoop.

Of course, this is just a guess and a hypothesis.

Perhaps they encountered other players or Servants.

The truth is far more elusive than imagined.

This feeling of the unknown is truly unpleasant.

"Lord Ainz, perhaps we should prepare for the worst."

Seeing that Ainz was not going to speak, Albedo offered a timely suggestion.

"Ah, that's why we notified the Guardians to return."

"You'd better not go out for now."

"The same applies to Sebastian and Cocytus."

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Without knowing the truth behind Demiurge's death, Ainz couldn't let the Guardians leave.

Otherwise, he would truly regret it if an irreversible accident were to occur.

"Let those demons who are active outside also pay attention to the so-called white-haired elves."

"Yes!"

Compared to demons that can be summoned at any time, Ainz absolutely does not want anything to happen to his companions in the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

(Although it's unclear who did it)

(But I definitely won't give up!)

With his hands clenched tightly, Ainz was determined to find the murderer.

He will not forgive any enemy who harms the Great Tomb.

These are his last family members and children.

We have to get revenge no matter what.

With a dangerous red light flashing in his eyes, he vanished from the spot, leaving behind only a group of guardians.

"Demiurge, because of your death, Lord Ainz has developed a bad impression of us."

Albedo slowly rose to her feet, then turned and reprimanded him mercilessly.

"Yes, if they don't allow us to go out, doesn't that mean they don't trust our capabilities?"

Having made similar mistakes herself, Shalltear knew that the Supreme Beings' patience had its limits.

It was precisely because it understood the implications that it felt worried.

"I cannot defend myself on this point. For a guardian to lose his composure in such a manner as to give such an order as Lord Ainz, the Supreme One, is indeed a capital offense."

All plans were disrupted. While Shalltear was worried, Demiurge was more concerned that everything Ainz had planned had gone down the drain.

The establishment of the Magic Kingdom, the conquest of the Kingdom, and the conquest of the Holy Kingdom.

With his death this time, it is unknown how long it will be postponed.

Putting himself in Demiurge's shoes, if a subordinate made such a mistake that led to the collapse of a grand strategy, Demiurge would not hesitate to kill that fool.

"However, even though you made a big mistake, Lord Ainz still did not blame you."

"Lord Ainz is indeed quite merciful!"

"Mare, you shouldn't have said that."

"Yes, no matter what, we should make up for the losses caused by Demiurge."

"This incident has caused us to lose credibility, so only the Guardians can take action to regain it."
