(As expected of Raphael, he really knows his stuff.)

(Um)

A word of praise seemed to elicit a very quiet response, and Rimuru turned to look at Ainz in front of her.

To be honest, this is the first time I've ever seen instant-death magic.

I never expected the other party to possess something so dangerous.

A spell that instantly kills the opponent.

It's like the kind of unreasonable thing that happens in games.

(Note that, given the strength of instant-death magic, even without instant-death resistance, the success rate is only 0.1% with the resistance bonus from the individual name "Rimuru".)

(Even though the probability is very low, does that mean if you don't have any resistance, you'll still be instantly killed?)

It's quite surprising that this special effect exists. In Rimuru's opinion, this might be magic exclusive to the undead.

If successful, it will allow you to easily kill your opponent in battle.

(Answer: It has been deduced that this can be avoided by using items, magic, or dispelling abilities that can resurrect the deceased.)

But then, Raphael's suggestions made him suddenly realize that "instant death" magic wasn't so scary after all.

"This is."

Muttering to himself, Ainz suddenly sensed something was wrong.

I clearly hit the opponent with an instant-death spell, but why did it fail again?

Even with protective items and equipment, this shouldn't be the case.

"Ah, it's nothing to worry about. I gained instant-death resistance through the instant-death magic you cast."

Seemingly understanding his question, Rimuru kindly provided an answer.

"?"

ha?

Hearing Rimuru's answer, Ainz felt a sense of absurdity.

What does it mean to gain instant-death resistance through the instant-death magic he used?

It's described as if they're saving someone's life.

The servant before him was perhaps more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.

High HP, various magic resistances, even ordinary instant-death spells are ineffective.

Close combat also demonstrated a threat level no less than that of the warrior class.

This is a rather difficult opponent for him to deal with.

If the opponent can become stronger, then unless I reveal my trump card, I will have little chance of winning.

"Well then, it's my turn now."

The opponent has already used quite a few attack methods, and Rimuru will not hold back any longer.

He held a longsword and quickly approached Ainz.

"High-Level Transmission"

"Anti-magic barrier!"

"!"

Ainz had originally planned to use teleportation to create distance, but a skill used by the opponent surprised him.

The square space enveloped the surrounding area, and its vast expanse extended far and wide.

"【Radiant Emerald Green Body】".

"Teleportation failed," Ainz shouted, but the attempt was in vain.

"It's no use. Magic cannot be used inside this barrier!"

The swung blade, wreathed in lightning and flames, struck Ainz's explosive staff.

(There's even a barrier that blocks magic?)

Before he could even be shocked, Ainz felt something was amiss.

Fighting a magic caster and then restricting their ability to use magic seems like going too far!

This Berserker is too abnormal!

"Zizzi!!"

The excessive force sent Ainz flying, and the entangling lightning flames had already seeped onto his arm along the staff.

"Well!"

Although it was somewhat expected, this was the first time, apart from Shalltear, that I had experienced having my HP reduced since coming to this world.

As an undead, Ainz is vulnerable to holy magic, and even fire magic can cause him excessive damage.

In the past, almost no high-level enemies could pose a threat, but the person in front of me now is different.

"Crack!"

He took out a spherical object, crushed it, and the lightning flames on his body disappeared instantly.

"Is that a Noble Phantasm that removes abnormal statuses?"

As the black lightning flames dissipated, Rimuru was surprised that her opponent had such a method.

"Hmph, what a pity. I also have many prepared methods to deal with emergencies."

Suppressing his inner turmoil, Ainz didn't explain the origin of his item, and said coldly.

What he just crushed was a "pay-to-win item".

Active items used to clear abnormal status.

After becoming a Heroic Spirit, his biggest change lies in the number of Noble Phantasms he possesses.

Why is he given higher priority as a Rider than a Caster who uses magic?

Aside from controlling and managing various NPCs and monsters, the most crucial aspect is...

That's because Ainz has too many "Noble Phantasms".

From world-class items with a value of [20] to various useless gadgets, all of these have been categorized under the Noble Phantasm of the Heroic Spirit "Ainz Ooal Gown".

It can be used anytime you want.

The difference lies in the cooling time and energy consumption.

"Demon King" is just one way to raise the bar.

"Lord Rimuru, if there is still a possibility of joining forces afterward, I would still welcome you."

"Trying to escape? Magic won't work right now."

Sensing the other party's intention to back down, Rimuru taunted.

"Heh, if possible, it would indeed be better to defeat you here."

"But I can't do that if there are people in the way."

If no one had been watching, Ainz would have really wanted to try using the phrase "death is the end of all life."

Unfortunately, it's better not to use it if there are people watching.

Otherwise, if others obtain the information, it may cause great inconvenience to future battles.

"!"

Rimuru was about to give chase when she noticed that Ainz had pulled out a new item.

It's a small, capsule-shaped thing.

(Is it another Noble Phantasm?)

Somewhat surprised by the things the other party kept taking out, Rimuru also began to understand a little.

No wonder Rider is so adept at using magic, yet his class isn't Caster.

It seems this is related to the treasure he hid.

(So, should we focus on its "tools" rather than its "magic"?)

"Move away!"

After crushing the capsule, Ainz vanished from the spot.

"So it really isn't magic!"

Unlike previous high-level teleportation, this movement is not magic.

Therefore, the anti-magic barrier cannot control it.

"Hmm, this is a tricky guy."

"From this perspective, we have absolutely no idea about his background or what other tricks he has up his sleeve?"
