The atmosphere in the Great Tomb of Nazarick became extremely solemn.

“Besides Shalltear, even Demiurge…”

Sitting on the throne, the lich clenched his hands, and the red light in his dark eye sockets shone brighter and brighter.

"Supreme One! We can't endure this any longer!"

At this moment, the succubus next to him also roared loudly.

"If we continue like this, we will only be defeated one by one. We should strengthen the power of the Great Tomb of Nazarick as soon as possible! Attack, destroy the surrounding cities, eliminate all the rebels, and then let the Supreme Being transform them into the Undead Army! We want to show the world the true power of the Great Tomb of Nazarick!"

"…Let me think about it for a moment."

After hearing the succubus's proposal, the lich hesitated for a moment, but still did not give a clear answer. Although he was also very angry about the deaths of Shalltear and Demiurge, in addition to anger, there was also fear. Shalltear was fine, but the lich knew Demiurge's character very well. He was not the type like Shalltear who would not turn back after a fight. If he found that the situation was not right, Demiurge would definitely leave immediately.

However, even he didn't have time to run away... How strong is the opponent?

Not to mention, we also lost a combat maid...

"Everyone listen up, from now on, the entire tomb is sealed and no one is allowed to leave!"

Thinking of this, the lich decisively gave the order, and the succubus was startled when she heard the order.

“Lord Ainz! You are…”

"The situation is unclear right now, so we should proceed with caution!"

The lich shook his head.

"I'm more worried about the Great Tomb and your safety. Shalltear and Demiurge are already dead, and I don't want to lose any more of my men!"

"yes……"

Hearing this, everyone lowered their heads. Although they were very unwilling, as the lich said, even Shalltear and Demiurge, who were among the best in the group, were dead, so the others might be in greater danger. Not to mention, for some reason, none of the people who were killed were resurrected, whether it was the battle maid, Shalltear or Demiurge, it was just a waste of gold coins.

"Lord Ainz!"

At this moment, suddenly, a dark elf raised his hand and spoke.

"Someone has broken into the Great Tomb's sphere of influence!"

"What?!"

Hearing this, the lich stood up immediately, and then without hesitation, he took out a magic scroll and threw it into the sky. Soon, the magic scroll disappeared under the blue flame, and then a picture appeared in front of everyone. In the picture, it can be clearly seen that several people dressed like adventurers are walking out of the forest and coming to a place not far from the cemetery.

"Is this the place?"

Looking at the entrance to the cemetery in front of him, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes and snorted.

"That's right."

The masked girl nodded.

"It is impossible to tell the construction era and background of this ruins, and there is no record of it in the Wang family."

"It's quite interesting indeed. So this is most likely the place."

"Um... Your Excellency the Knight."

Looking at Fang Zheng, the masked girl hesitated for a moment, but still opened her mouth to ask her question.

"Are you going to go alone? Where are your companions?"

"They are not strong enough to handle such trouble, so I let them do the work suitable for them."

Fang Zheng waved his hand, but the sturdy female warrior next to him spoke.

"Do you want to go in alone? I know you are very powerful, but no one can tell what will be in this kind of tomb ruins."

"That's right."

The captain of Blue Rose, Radice, nodded.

"It would be fine if we were outside, but going deep into this underground cemetery... no one knows what we might encounter, right?"

Just as the two said, this situation is actually something that most adventurers will try their best to avoid. If it is just a simple relic, it would be fine, but if it is the territory of an owner, then it means that there are likely to be terrible traps and various mechanisms. Not to mention, if they are forced into a corner, they may directly collapse a floor and bury you alive, or simply throw you into some dimension of time and space... then even if you have the ability to travel through heaven and earth, you cannot escape.

In fact, Princess Lana originally wanted to send the kingdom's army to clean up the mess, but she had to give up after the masked girl who had witnessed the fighting power of the high-level demons tried her best to stop them. After all, if the cemetery was full of terrifying beings of that level, then no matter how many people came, they would only die.

"Of course I know that."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng glanced at the sky, then chuckled and snapped his fingers.

"Bang!"

The next moment, the picture in front of the lich suddenly shattered. Seeing this scene, the lich and his subordinates were all shocked.

"Can it actually destroy surveillance magic?"

"You are here with ill intentions, Lord Ainz."

The succubus bowed her head again.

"Please allow us to prepare for the attack immediately!"

“Hmm… Although there are only a few of them, they are indeed very powerful. The person who killed Shalltear and Demiurge might be among them. Be careful.”

Although he was nervous, since the enemy had come to his door, the lich would not just surrender. Not to mention, this was the Great Tomb of Nazarick, his territory. Previously, Shalltear, Demiurge and others were killed outside, but in this tomb...

It’s time to give it a fight!

At the same time as the Great Tomb of Nazarick was preparing for battle, the masked girl outside asked curiously.

"So, Sir Knight, what are you going to do?"

"No big deal."

Fang Zheng snorted softly.

"Like you said, this is the other party's territory. It would be very stupid to rush in rashly."

"So... do you need us to come with you?"

"No need, you just need to watch from the side."

"Why?"

Everyone was stunned by Fang Zheng's answer. But before they could say anything else, they saw Fang Zheng stretched out his hand and tapped his arm. Then, a blue window opened in front of him.

"This is Fang Zheng, is Iona here?"

"Yes, Commander. What can I do for you?"

"Immediately order Hood, Belfast, and Rodney to activate fortress mode and launch a ground strike on the current coordinates!"

"Received! Commander."

After Fang Zheng gave the order, he put away his personal terminal and waved to the four people behind him.

"Okay, let's back off."

"Back off?"

Although she was a little confused, Cang Qiangwei still followed Fang Zheng and retreated obediently.

"I said, what did you just do?"

Standing next to Fang Zheng, the masked girl couldn't hold back her inner doubts and asked. She could guess that Fang Zheng seemed to have contacted someone just now, but she didn't understand a word of what he said.

"You'll find out soon enough."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng raised his head and looked towards the sky.

“Here I come.”

"Coming? What's coming?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, everyone raised their heads curiously and looked towards the sky.

Then, they saw a scene that they would never forget.

In the dark night sky, a ray of light suddenly appeared.

At first, everyone thought it was the light of the stars, but soon, they saw the beam of light getting closer and closer to them, and then...

"boom--!!!"

For a moment, mountains collapsed and the earth cracked.

The radiance comparable to the sun almost illuminated the entire night sky. The whistling beam of light directly hit the cemetery, easily blasting it into pieces, and then went straight down. It was like a rushing waterfall pouring into it. At this moment, the ground began to tremble, break, and crack. Bright red flames burst out from the cracks in the ground and spread in all directions. For a moment, the whole world looked like hell.

What's this?

Staring at the scene in front of them in amazement, the four people of Cang Qiangwei had a complete blank in their minds. Even in the most exaggerated adventure stories they had heard, there had never been such a scene. They didn't even know what was happening in front of them.

What exactly happened?

This question is not only what Cang Qiangwei wants to ask, but also what the lich wants to ask.

The Great Tomb of Nazarick does have a complete defense system, but... but...! Ever since the Great Tomb of Nazarick was built, it has never thought about dealing with an attack from the outer orbital level!

“Lord Ainz! We can’t stop them! The eighth floor has collapsed! You must escape!”

At this moment, the throne room at the bottom of Nazarick's tomb was in a mess, with cracks all over the walls, and the chandelier hanging from the ceiling had fallen to the ground and shattered. The precious furniture and decorations around were also scattered all over the floor.

"I can't leave..."

The lich shook his head. He had thought about using teleportation to escape when he was attacked. But what the lich didn't expect was that his teleportation, which he had always used very well, was completely ineffective at this moment. Not only him, but even the teleportation of others was the same, completely useless.

It was as if the surrounding space was completely blocked.

“Click…click…click…”

“Lord Ainz!!”

Finally, the ceiling collapsed completely, and a torrent of light roared down. The succubus screamed and threw herself on the lich. The next moment, the two were completely engulfed by the torrent of light beams.

I don’t know how long it took before the light gradually disappeared.

In front of Cang Qiangwei, the mysterious cemetery had completely disappeared, and in its place was a pitch-black, almost bottomless hole.

"You see, it is indeed very risky to rashly enter the other party's territory, so as long as we destroy the other party's territory... there will be no problem."

Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders, whistled, and looked at Cang Qiangwei beside him. The adventurers of Cang Qiangwei were still standing there blankly, with their eyes wide open, like clay sculptures or stone carvings.

"Um?"

At this moment, Fang Zheng seemed to have noticed something and squinted his eyes to look underground.

"You're not dead yet..."

At this moment, the bottom of the tomb was already a scorched earth. After a while, accompanied by a "crash", a figure crawled out from the scorched ruins.

"Albedo! Albedo!"

The lich tightly grasped the succubus beside him. The succubus was already dying at the moment. Most of her body was completely burned to charcoal, and even her skin began to crack.

“Lord Ainz…”

Hearing the lich's call, the succubus opened her eyes.

"Are you...safe and sound?"

"I'm fine! Albedo! Cheer up, I'm here to save you now!"

As the lich spoke, he stretched out his hand and waved it in the air, but to his surprise, the thing that should appear did not appear in front of him.

"What's going on? How could this happen? Where's the control panel? I want to revive my subordinates!"

“It’s useless, Master Ainz…”

Looking at the crazy lich, the succubus smiled slightly.

“I can sense that the Great Tomb of Nazarick has been destroyed… and we… as part of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, will also be destroyed…”

"No, Albedo! You can't die!"

“I’m sorry… Lord Ainz…”

Having said that, the succubus slowly closed her eyes.

"Please... stay alive..."

As the words fell, the next moment, the succubus's body began to shatter, and then turned into a pile of black dust and disappeared into the air.

The lich clenched his hands tightly and watched the black powder flow through his fingers.

“Ah…ah…wu…”

However, the next moment, a green light suddenly emerged from the lich's body, suppressing its emotions that were about to explode.

"I understand, Albedo."

The lich stood up again and had regained his composure, but his tone was filled with murderous intent.

“Albedo, Shalltear, Cocytus, Aura, Mare, Demiurge, Sebastian, Pandora… I will avenge you… I will use these hands to kill those who have ruined my destiny and killed my companions! Come!”

While roaring, the lich raised his hand, and soon, a golden staff appeared in his hand. At the same time, the light of magic began to emerge on his body.

"flight."

"Blessing of the Magic Chanter."

"Infinite Barrier."

"Magic barrier: sacred."

“The essence of life.”

"High-level all-attribute enhancement."

"free."

"False intelligence. Life."

"see through."

"Super intuitive."

"High-level resistance enhancement."

"Chaos Cloak."

"unyielding."

"Perception enhancement."

"High-level luck."

"Magic amplification."

"Dragon power."

"High-level hardening."

"Heavenly spiritual energy."

"absorb."

"Penetration is enhanced."

"High-level magic shield."

"The essence of magic."

"Magic triple enhancement, high-level magic seal."

The magical aura rising into the sky flowed out from the dark cave. Sensing this aura, the faces of the Blue Rose adventurers suddenly changed.

"This is……?!"

"Sure enough, I knew it wouldn't be so easy to solve, but it doesn't matter."

Looking at the dark cave in front of him, Fang Zheng chuckled.

"Then let me play with you."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng snapped his fingers.

Soon, a series of magical lights appeared on his body.

"Mind barrier."

"Shield that is immune to energy damage."

"Advanced spell nullification barrier."

"Excellent resistance."

"True Seeing."

"Advanced scrying."

"Early warning technique."

"Advanced spell penetration."

"Advanced Stoneskin."

"Shadow Shield."

"Spell wall."

"Mage armor."

"Anti-evil magic circle."

"Elemental shield."

"Test resistance."

"Noise shield."

"Disaster Black Blade."

"Summon an elemental giant."

"The Celestial Legion."

"The Oath of the Greater Dragons."

The elements began to condense, transforming into a huge fire element elder that was entrenched beside Fang Zheng. An angel wearing silver-white armor and holding a giant sword descended from the sky. With a roar that resounded through the sky, the giant dragon spread its wings and soared out of the clouds. The dark power of disaster condensed into a giant blade that hovered beside Fang Zheng.

When the lich flew out of the cave, what he saw was such an army ready for battle.

"alright."

Looking at the lich in front of him, Fang Zheng smiled coldly, clenched the black sword in his hand, and swung it forward.

"Die!"
