As he inquired, Ainz felt that his children would not make such a mistake.

"Yes, emergency interception measures have been activated after the intrusion of the summoned creature was detected."

"After observation, it was found that they were completely controlled by someone behind the scenes, which is why they were able to cleverly avoid the influence of the mechanism."

"Because of its small size and weak magical reaction, it was difficult to detect before."

"But now that the interception has been used, the hidden earth snakes have all been eliminated, and no more information has been exposed."

Ainz was relieved for a moment after hearing Cocytus's answer.

But then he realized something was wrong.

"Cocytus, how strong are those earth snakes?"

"Very weak. Around level 10-20."

He asked the question, but the answer he received left Ainz speechless.

It doesn't make sense.

He could understand how they managed to avoid combat and get through the first three levels.

After all, without Shalltear, the first three levels would only have a group of automatically generated skeleton soldiers.

He could swoop through the underground lake on the fourth level, and he could understand that.

But the fifth layer of ice river is not something that ordinary creatures can pass through.

The low temperature alone is enough to slow down the forward speed and cause big trouble.

Not to mention the numerous dangers that lie ahead in the sixth layer of jungle and the seventh layer of lava.

You're saying a group of level 10-20 earth snakes can reach the eighth floor without fighting?

Even if someone is small in size, making it hard to notice this feature, it still looks awkward no matter how you look at it.

What about the Allied players who used to conquer the game through sheer hard power?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He had clearly been tested by the enemy, but he still didn't know who had done it.

"Lord Ainz, is this..."

"Um"

Even before Demiurge had finished speaking, Ainz had already begun to hesitate.

He understood what the other person meant.

Since an unknown enemy has sent such a summon to invade, it means that the location of the Great Tomb of Nazarick has been exposed.

Is it really the right thing to stay in this area?

I'm not worried about anyone breaking in; this is the safest place in the world.

But I'm still a little concerned about exposing myself like that.

After all, we don't know what kind of threats might come next.

(in case)

(It's always good to have a backup plan.)

"Cocytus, activate the first five levels of the territory's checkpoints."

It's a universal system, similar to how you have to defeat the "boss" of the current level before you can advance to the next level.

To prevent further exploration, Ainz decided to consider moving the Great Tomb to a different location.

With these two preparations, there shouldn't be any problems.

Then we'll investigate that mysterious guy again.

.........

“Saber?”

Kiritsugu was puzzled as he watched someone draw something on the table with a pen and paper.

Ever since she returned, Saber has been constantly "writing furiously".

Seeing how focused the other person was, he didn't disturb them.

Only now have we finally seen some movement.

Seiya then grabbed the completed drawing paper with both hands and raised it up.

"finished!"

The sound it emitted signified the fruits of their hard work over this period.

Is that a map?

Kiritsugu could vaguely see the routes drawn on the paper and all sorts of dense annotations.

Turn right from entrance number 3 to quickly reach the second floor. On the left side of the second floor, there's a mimicry of unknown origin.

The entrance to the third floor is...

[The first, second, and third floors all contain automatically generated undead, among whom rare elites may spawn. There may also be hidden bosses guarding the levels, requiring repeated exploration.]

That huge pile of words made Kiritsugu feel like he was reading the instruction manual for some complicated machine.

Chapter 550 550 Ready!

"Saber, what is this?"

Upon looking at the drawn map, Kiritsugu discovered that there was more than one.

A large pile of papers was pulled out of the drawer, all of which seemed to be specific descriptions of different locations.

As for where it is, Kiritsugu can't tell yet, but it's definitely not a kingdom or any similar region.

The fifth floor is the home ground for low-temperature warfare.

The sixth level is a mix of jungle and arena.

The seventh layer is the magma realm.

Leaving aside the annotations, each level is specially divided into a large map to mark the route, the items that need to be prepared, and various unexpected situations.

Kiritsugu felt that even an old man could find his way out of this maze-like terrain by looking at the blueprints.

Where exactly did Saber go?

Why would such a strange topographical map be drawn?

And there are just too many paintings!!!

Even if it's just a backup, it's too much trouble to carry around, isn't it?

One step away.

But Kiritsugu received no response; instead, Seiya stroked his chin, deep in thought.

"Is there anything missing?"

Not quite understanding what Seiya was trying to do, Kiritsugu asked again.

"Yes, just in case, it's necessary to make such preparations."

This time, Seiya did answer Kiritsugu's question, nodding as he spoke.

"Is it hard to find?"

Given this savior's resourcefulness, he would probably have disappeared long ago unless he had no other choice.

"It's hard."

"Even if you search the whole world, very few people will know this kind of knowledge."

Kiritsugu looked at Seiya, who had his arms crossed and a serious expression, with great curiosity.

knowledge?

What exactly are they talking about?

"Well, there's still time, we can still make it."

When this topic came up, he heard the other person's confident words.

But their complete lack of explanation is incredibly frustrating.

But this left him helpless.

.........

"Cough cough"

Even if he were to reattach his right hand, it would take time, and Momoshiki coughed while enduring the pain.

His unusual appearance attracted attention, but no one dared to approach him.

Knowing he couldn't attract attention, he simply chose to get away from the city.
