How did you bunch of silly group members also time travel?

The long-haired woman couldn't dodge the lightning's speed. The white lightning did hit her, but it didn't hit the long-haired woman herself; instead, it hit the large scroll in her hand!

No, that's not quite right. To be precise, it was the large scroll in the long-haired woman's hand that sucked the white lightning away! And then nothing happened at all!

"A world-class item?" Miss Fox frowned, feeling a headache coming on.

It can withstand the Kido Talisman created by Aizen, so even if it's not a World Rank item, it's definitely a very powerful item.

Drawing her mortal greatsword, Miss Fox said, "Evilue! You take that big guy and leave first!"

"Understood!" Ibiruai didn't waste any words and immediately used magic to carry Gagran away.

But Ibiruai was a step too late; the long-haired woman had already opened the large scroll!

A white light enveloped the three foxes, making them unable to sense anything. Their sight, hearing, and touch all seemed to have failed, and they could not perceive any information from the outside world at all!

What exactly is the purpose of this world-class item?!

Fortunately, the white light came and went quickly. Not long after, her vision returned, she could hear again, and her sense of touch returned as well. Miss Fox found herself still in the same spot, as if nothing had happened. The long-haired woman, however, smiled, seemingly having achieved her goal.

"..." What is this... doing? Miss Fox frowned.

She was unharmed, but Evilue and Gagran, who were originally behind her, had disappeared. Strangely, the large scroll in the long-haired woman's hand contained portraits of Evilue and Gagran, depicted in a bizarre and wondrous world.

But the long-haired woman was not satisfied with the figures of Ibiruai and Gagran on the scroll. Her gaze kept scanning the scroll, as if she was looking for something.

Miss Fox tiptoed to the long-haired woman's side, gently touched her shoulder, and as the long-haired woman slowly turned her head to look at her, she canceled the passive ability to reduce her presence.

Are you looking for me?

The long-haired woman immediately closed the scroll—

"Bite her! Mortal bones!!" Emerald green spiritual energy formed an elegant guardian deer, its sharp antlers piercing through the fragile flesh. The long-haired woman's body flew through the air like a tattered rag, tracing an arc before crashing to the ground. The scroll also slipped from her grasp and rolled to the ground beside her.

The long-haired woman immediately struggled to her feet, but just as her hand touched the scroll, Miss Fox stepped on it, slamming her long-haired hand hard onto the scroll.

The mortal bone greatsword swung down and stopped at the long-haired woman's throat, lifting her face.

He said, "Now, we are all just ordinary people."

Chapter 133 I just wanted to call for reinforcements...

The long-haired woman's direct combat ability is not particularly strong.

After being bitten by the mortal bone, the long-haired woman, who had lost her special abilities and could not use her items, was even inferior to the mage Demiurge. She had also lost her stealth ability because of her own items. At close range, she had no chance to fight back against the fox lady. After a set of skills, she was left with only a relatively intact corpse.

But the focus isn't on the long-haired woman; the focus is on Evilue and Gagran inside the large scroll.

With the keywords "world-class item" and the appearance of this scroll, Miss Fox basically remembered what it was: The Map of Mountains and Rivers.

The effect is to trap the target in an alternate dimension, of which there are more than a hundred different types. However, there will always be a way to escape. Once the trapped person escapes, they will gain ownership of the item.

It's a very troublesome thing. And unlike the alluring beauty, this "Map of Mountains and Rivers" is now completely beyond her control. It seems the map itself doesn't recognize her as its current master and has no way of releasing Ibiruai and Gegrand from within. And expecting Ibiruai and Gegrand to pull them out themselves is simply a pipe dream.

She didn't believe that Ibiruai and Gegran could escape the world of the Mountain and River Map on their own, after all, it was a world-class artifact.

"So what should I do now?" Miss Fox racked her brains but couldn't come up with a good solution.

Limited by her limited knowledge, Miss Fox was helpless in this situation. Furthermore, her science skills before transmigrating were terrible, so she couldn't even attempt to analyze it using scientific theories.

"...Why didn't this scroll put me in?" If she were in there too, it would be easier to deal with.

Furthermore, if you flip the scroll a bit, you'll find that all the adventurers who were watching have gone in, but the fox lady, whom the long-haired woman most wanted to go in, hasn't.

It's just weird.

'My foolish master, aren't you also a World-Class Item owner? Aren't World-Class Items supposed to be independent of each other's owners?'

Yes! When I asked in the group before, the newbie who paid mentioned it!

“...What...happened here…” Laju’s weak voice echoed in the dilapidated restaurant.

Looking back, compared to when she went out with the soldiers to escort Gou Qingshan, La Qiusi's current attire was quite bad.

His armor was tattered with hardly any good cloth left on his body, and he had many wounds; there was a wound here and there everywhere, indicating that he had been through a fierce battle.

"What happened?" Miss Fox quickly stepped forward to support Lajus, taking out a healing potion and forcing it down her throat, which helped her somewhat. Lajus's wounds seemed to be cursed; the healing potion had little effect, only barely healing some minor wounds, while some force seemed to be hindering its work on the rest. She could only keep giving her the potion, hoping that quantity would help.

I was wondering if the long-haired woman would cause trouble for the other members of Blue Rose, but I didn't expect her to split up and cause trouble in two groups.

But that's not right.

"Lahagi, how are you still alive!?" Uh... do you really believe Miss Fox just blurted it out...?

“Indeed… I am still alive. Dad… I can hardly believe it!” La. Hagi didn't seem to care about Miss Fox's blunt statement. With the continuous treatment, her pale face had barely improved, and she could speak in a normal tone.

"Those monsters were incredibly strong, almost every one of them surpassed the 'Heroic Realm.' It's a miracle I survived their onslaught!" "A group of monsters?" Miss Fox frowned. In her hazy memory, she couldn't find any unit in the Great Tomb that corresponded to the group of monsters Lajus had described.

Those not mentioned in the plot, or those with very low presence?

“Yes, they were insects about the size of a human head, with limbs made of sharp blades,” Laju explained. “Those insects were very strong. Led by a red-haired werewolf, they suddenly attacked the escort team and kidnapped the spy. They could have easily killed us, but instead, they humiliated me, not killing me, but…” Laju, nestled in Miss Fox's arms, released her hand that had been covering her abdomen, revealing a wound that gleamed black across her abdomen, through which her internal organs and bones were visible.

Lajus is still alive and back here, which is truly a miracle, just as she herself said.

The fox got goosebumps all over at the sight, and the muscles in his face were almost out of control; he had no idea what expression he was making.

Cruelty—that's the word that's filling Miss Fox's mind now, even though she's at a loss for words.

"Finally, something seemed to have happened, and the red-haired werewolf and those insects hurriedly left with the spies, which allowed me to barely make my way back..."

"..." The fox gasped for breath before recovering. She knew that Lajus's injuries, which were so shocking, were among the best that the trash from the Great Tomb of Nazarick could possibly manage. So good that it was unbelievable how minor they were.

The parts that weren't described in detail in the original work, once examined in depth and transformed into real-life scenarios, could absolutely make a person so disgusted that they couldn't eat.

For example, the experiments related to the two-legged sheep (human) pasture mentioned only briefly in the original work.

“Well, Lahoz,” Miss Fox made her decision.

Although it seemed like a pipe dream and a bit overestimating her abilities, Miss Fox made a decision in her heart that she thought was insane... to find a way to kill Ainz Ooal Gown herself!

"What's wrong, fox?" Lajus looked around and saw the long-haired woman's corpse. "Was this place attacked too? Speaking of which, where are Evilue and Gagran? I think they both stayed here..."

"I'll figure something out for Ibiruai and Gorgran." Glancing at the large scroll at her feet, Miss Fox tore off some return scrolls for Lajus while handing her more healing potions.

"It's strange to bring up this kind of thing now that I've only joined the group, but please allow me to temporarily leave Blue Rose."

Lahoz remained silent.

The atmosphere was both pleasant and subtle. She vaguely sensed something, some scenarios that had appeared in her fantasies many times before.

But fantasies are just fantasies, because she wasn't the protagonist in reality. At this moment, the girl grew up!

With teary eyes and a pained expression, she held Miss Fox's hand tightly: "Fox, you must promise me, you can't leave and never come back!"

Miss Fox shivered! "Lagus... what are you suddenly saying? This is so awkward!"

"Huh? Didn't you become an avenger to avenge Evil and Gagran, shouldering everything alone, exposing all the darkness behind the scenes, venturing into human forbidden zones, surviving in ancient ruins, almost being captured and taken home to succeed the Elf Queen, but then defeating the monster sealed away by the elves for generations because of your beliefs, and embarking on a journey again, gaining the dragon's recognition, and receiving the ultimate holy sword from the dragon to defeat the Demon King and save the world?"

"...Lahagi..." Miss Fox was at a loss for words.

"I just... wanted to go get some help..."

Chapter 134 On the Value of Green Hills

"Fox, are you really going alone?"

Lajus was still administering the medicine. With the continuous effects of the medicine, the curse on the wound was no longer being supplied with energy by the one who cast the curse, and its effect on hindering the wound's healing was becoming less and less. It was believed that it would be completely healed in no time, so there was no need to worry.

"You guys coming along won't be of any help to me, will you?" the fox shrugged and said bluntly.

Since she can't control her mouth anyway, she might as well be blunt. Let people hurt her if they want, but everything she says comes from the bottom of her heart, and everything she conveys is the truth.

And let's not even talk about how the members of Blue Rose are dragging us down; actually, Miss Fox is also one of those who are dragging us down.

Of all the Great Tomb members she encountered along the way, from Shalltear to the long-haired woman this morning, the only one she truly defeated using her own strength was the long-haired woman, even after her stealth ability was removed. With such combat power and such a record, even if these events accelerated her growth, if she were to actually face the Great Tomb's dedicated combat NPCs, she'd probably only be able to handle the maid corps.

"You can keep this Mountain and River Map. I'm quite afraid that if I take this thing over there, it will just disappear back into Ainz Ooal Gown's hands in an instant..." After all, the reason she can't use the Mountain and River Map is very likely because the holder's judgment is still Ainz Ooal Gown, not her.

If Aizen comes to help and gets trapped in the landscape painting she brought, that would be quite awkward.

While it's not a problem for Aizen to break free, she might be dead by the time he gets out.

If the Mountain and River Map hadn't trapped Ibiruai and Gegrand, Miss Fox would have preferred to just dismantle it.

"Fox, why do you think that werewolf kidnapped the spy?" Lajus suddenly asked.

"Do you think that spy is actually their prince? Because he's a half-human, half-werewolf, he's very weak despite being royalty, and is looked down upon by his people and even his father. One day, the prince couldn't bear those looks anymore and ran away from home. Because he has human blood, he looks no different from humans. After being kindly received by humans, he gradually developed a desire to become an adventurer, but he never expected to encounter something like this, and then..."

"Stop!" Miss Fox quickly interrupted, stopping Lahoz, who was getting more and more excited.

The captain of the Blue Rose is perfect in every way—good-looking, with a great figure and a nice personality. She also exudes a goddess-like aura when she wears formal attire.

But this very mind of mine is filled with adolescent angst.

"Although I don't know the real reason, it definitely can't be what you think! Give up!"

The werewolf and the long-haired woman who attacked Lajus must have come together.

For some reason, instead of coming together to cause trouble for their main target, Miss Fox, the two of them split up. The long-haired woman came to cause her trouble, while the werewolf led a team to attack Lajus and kidnap Dog Aoyama.

Miss Fox really can't understand this.

What value does Dog Qingshan have? Dog Qingshan is indeed from another world and knows about the chat group; after all, he was the group owner at first. Although Dog Qingshan gained courage easily from Brian's mere intimidation, he'd probably spill everything if caught, including the group quests. But this dog really has no value.

First, a chat group is just a chat group. Even if you know how to join, it's useless if there's no clear method.

Second, what could Gou Qingshan possibly know? Knowing about the group quest is useless; Miss Fox and Ainz Ooal Gown are destined to fight to the death. Even without information about the group quest, it wouldn't make a difference. At most, he could only know that other group members were going to cause trouble for the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

But according to the group members that Gou Qingshan knows...

The general store owner → Kisuke Urahara, through whom Ainz Ooal Gown learns about Urahara's abilities. The seventeen-year-old girl → Yukari, from a thousand years before the founding of Gensokyo, through whom Ainz Ooal Gown learns that Yukari only possesses basic Onmyojutsu and relies more on her own level of Youkai power.

Then, Gou Qingshan knew nothing about the newbies who paid for the game, only considering them Muggles. He also knew nothing about the filler newbies, namely Miss Fox, only considering them Muggles, at most knowing her invisibility passive and a few skills, probably less than Ainz Ooal Gown knew. Hmmmm...

It seems like we don't need to care about this at all. Even if Gou Qingshan gets arrested, it won't affect anyone in the group.

It even has the function of spreading misinformation; it's almost harmless for Dog Qingshan to be captured and taken to the Great Tomb.

"But what about this long-haired woman..." Besides, there's also the long-haired woman's corpse, and we don't know what to do with it.

The most valuable item on his body is the "Mountains and Rivers Map" used to deal with her; the rest of his items are basically consumables, and there's nothing else that can be dismantled.

"How about we try dissecting the corpse too?" Miss Fox had only ever dissected weapons, equipment, and props before; she had never actually dissected a corpse before.

But after all, it came from the Great Tomb of Nazarick. Things from the Great Tomb can be broken down into small crystals, which are extremely scarce for her...

"Let's try putting one hand in first!"

Then go find Shalltear.

Since Ainz Ooal Gown sent people to annoy her, it wouldn't be too much for her to annoy him back, would it?

...

The Great Tomb of Nazarick, the meeting room.

"Ainz-sama! I'm back! This time, Nicoled discovered an unexpected find!" Returning to Nazarick via a pre-prepared magic circle, the werewolf maid Lupus Regina was completely oblivious to the heavy atmosphere in the meeting hall. Full of energy, she led the struggling Aoyama forward to claim credit.

Compared to before he was sent away by the members of Blue Rose, Aoyama now has more marks on his body from being beaten. It is clear that falling into the hands of this werewolf maid is not a better option than falling into the hands of the soldiers.

"Where's Nicole, who went on the mission with me?" Finally, the werewolf maid realized that something was wrong.

The supreme ruler on the main seat remained silent, while the guardians of the hierarchy with human faces all wore subtle expressions, creating an overall oppressive atmosphere.

The werewolf maid quickly realized she had misspoke: "I'm so sorry, Ainz-sama, I..."

"No need to apologize, it's not your fault, Lupus Regina." Ainz Ooal Gown, seated at the head of the table, shook his head. "It's more that it's my fault for not allowing you to live such carefree lives..."

Ainz Ooal Gown was inwardly tormented by these words, and once again found himself caught in a vortex of self-doubt. But the skeleton's emotionless voice, combined with the heavy atmosphere, had already made the werewolf maid tremble.

But Ainz Ooal Gown was oblivious, still tormented by the complete disappearance of yet another spot from the guild NPC list.

It never imagined that simply sending Nicole, an NPC specializing in stealth and intelligence gathering in the Great Tomb of Nazarick, to test the other party would lead to her being discovered. Even though Nicole was given a large number of escape items, resurrection items, and even the world-class item "Map of Mountains and Rivers" for use during her escape, she still couldn't return alive.

Perhaps Shalltear's betrayal was the right thing to do... Ainz Ooal Gown couldn't help but think that.

Even the plans he had made after learning of Shalltear's whereabouts from Demiurge not long ago were no longer mentioned. He feared facing Shalltear's questioning, feared her accusations...

Ainz Ooal Gown clenched his fists, his entire body flashing with green light!

But now, no matter what, for Ainz Ooal Gown, for the guild built by his friends, for the NPCs to whom his friends poured their hearts and souls! He stakes the name of Ainz Ooal Gown, and will absolutely not allow such a tragedy to happen a third time! Absolutely!

Just wait, Shalltear. Once the one who offended Ainz Ooal Gown is killed, she will come to apologize with her sins!

"Albedo, this human is in your hands. Take this human to the House of Truth, and by any means necessary, make him reveal everything that Nicole wants us to know!"

What Nicoled was determined to bring back to it must have been of great value!
