Chapter 449: The Cleared Painting World
Elsa is extending an invitation directly to the king?
People thought they were seeing things. How could two people who had basically no connection with each other suddenly become like this?
If it was someone else, the servants around him would not allow him to leave with that person until Ainz III agreed.
But Elsa is a hero who has just shined not long ago. What on earth does a person like this want to do by inviting the king into the painting world? It can't be that she just wants to go in and see what happens after the painting world is conquered.
"Elsa, you..." As the person who was most familiar with Elsa among everyone present, Fingri was about to ask.
But Ainz III took a step ahead of him and asked with a smile:
"Can I ask why you invited me in?"
He seems to really show interest in the world of painting!
Sally quickly tugged at Elsa's sleeve and told her to be careful when speaking in such an occasion.
However, Elsa was so emotional at the moment that she felt she couldn't read the other party's hint and said directly:
"This can ease the anxiety in your heart."
She, she actually said that Ainz III felt uneasy!?
Sally couldn't help but cover her face, thinking that the group of adventurers from Luluwo who kidnapped Elsa only knew how to take her around but didn't teach her how to behave in the world!
General Guillimanbo was about to say "how outrageous" but when he thought of the opponent's strength, he couldn't say the words for some reason.
Selene looked at Ainz III carefully. She was not sure whether he would be angry because of such words. She still had not fully understood his temper after spending the past few days with him.
At this moment, she suddenly found that her father's expression suddenly became serious?
"As expected of a hero," Ainz III clapped his hands. "Okay, I'll go in with you. Can this painting world accommodate two people?"
"Your Majesty, won't you give it more consideration?" General Guillimanbo felt something was wrong.
"There is no way a righteous hero would harm me."
Ainz III suddenly showed great trust in Elsa, and before the people around him could continue to persuade him, he was about to enter the world of paintings. Elsa was not one to give people time to react, and she simply pulled the king to touch the painting.
It wasn't until the two figures disappeared that people reacted.
"You'd better explain to me clearly what can be seen in that painting world."
The tall and strong General Guillimanbo stood in front of Sally like a wall, and the shadow he cast completely covered the noble's back.
The corner of Sally's mouth twitched, and she felt that she was going to have a hard time next.
On the other side, Ainz III has followed Elsa into the painting world "Berserk".
Before seeing the image of this painting world, he was thinking about what Elsa had just said to him.
There is uneasiness in his heart. Yes, although he looks optimistic now and the kingdom is developing in a positive direction, there is still a sense of uneasiness hidden in his heart.
This uneasiness was made up of many factors: the long-term bestiality, the shadow left by Eliphis, the threat from the demons, and most importantly, the evil god hiding in the dark who might bring disaster again at any time. These factors prevented him from really settling down and enjoying peace of mind.
However, he thought he had hidden his uneasiness very well, but he didn't expect that the brave man would see through it at a glance. He was really ashamed.
But while feeling somewhat embarrassed, Ainz III could not help but look forward to it. How would this painting world solve the anxiety in his heart? If it could really solve it.
He vowed that he would become a bigger fan of Sean than his daughter, and become the person who respected Sean the most in the world.
Images that were already familiar to Elsa flooded into Ainz III's mind. He was amazed that in some distant era there would be people and events that were so similar to the Black Hawk Rebellion. He understood everything and saw the bloody Eclipse.
Both of them sacrificed their teammates in exchange for an increase in their own strength, but in Ainz III's opinion, the power of the Eclipse was much greater than that of Eliphith.
Similarly, it causes many more negative emotions.
The scene of the Eclipse evoked the shadow left by Eliphith in Ainz III's heart, but at this moment.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
The sounds of flames exploding and scenes being destroyed continued to be heard. Ainz III turned around and saw Erza, who was holding a heavy weapon in each hand, already chopping. Her fighting posture was so heroic, as if she could kill all the monsters.
Ainz III suddenly became calm.
He looked at the knight's sword in his hand, then looked at the monsters that were defeated by Elsa, and the blood that had just been aroused by the image of the campfire surged again!
“I’m coming too!”
He rushed towards the apostle monster that was left alone after being chopped down by Elsa with great enthusiasm.
Although people are full of enthusiasm, they still need to carefully consider their own capabilities.
When the King used the Apostle Monsters to recall the brief adventures of the past, Elsa showed her powerful fighting ability like mowing the grass.
After the Black Hawk Rebellion, her strength had undergone a major upgrade. The repeated use of the Hell March had given her a new understanding of the use of the giant sword. For example, now, she dispersed the flames wrapped around the giant sword, and each ball of flame would transform into a human form to kill the monsters, and protect the members of the Eagle Group at the same time.
Before leaving the royal city, she hoped to clear up some regrets, and the strategy for the painting world Berserk was one of them. After two days of research with Sally, she finally found the best way to pass the level. Even if she was alone, she could protect the members of the Eagle Group until the end.
The growth of strength brought her more confidence, making her believe that she could protect what she wanted to protect.
Ainz III, who was already exhausted from fighting, looked at Erza, who seemed to never get tired, and couldn't help but reveal an envious look.
The Eagle Corps members could not be massacred in large numbers no matter what, which made the apostle monsters even more violent. Their numbers were like a ferocious black ocean. However, Elsa was the stabilizing force, and as long as she was there, the monsters could not cause any trouble.
It was unknown how long this defensive battle lasted until the entire picture froze, signaling the end.
Elsa finally breathed a sigh of relief, because it meant that she had once again opened up this painting world.
Under Ainz III's expectant gaze, the image moved.
What was unfolding before him was still a scene of despair. Dark Wing Griffith completed his transformation and spread deep despair toward Guts. Everything was developing in the same way as it had done when he failed.
Ainz III had a strange expression on his face. This scene would only deepen his anxiety!
However, the turning point also came at this moment.
The black sun hanging in the sky above the Eclipse suddenly developed fine cracks, and in the blink of an eye the sun shattered!
The demons looked over with disbelief, only to see a skeleton knight like an overlord rushing into the Moment of Eclipse. With a casual wave of his sword, he beheaded countless monsters!
Even Griffith, who displayed extraordinary strength, was helpless against him.
The Skeleton Knight suddenly appeared, killed the monster with thunder and rescued Guts, then turned around and took him out of the Eclipse!
The picture turned dark.
Ainz III turned to look at Erza. He probably understood why she said that this painting world could ease the anxiety in his heart.
Perhaps the other party wanted to use this character's coincidence to correspond to a somewhat weird story to tell him that even the seemingly invincible Dark Wings cannot completely bring despair to people. There will always be people like Guts who rise up to resist, and there will always be a glimmer of hope.
After feeling that he understood, Ainz III couldn't help but smile, and his favorable impression of this hero increased a little.
It's a pity that, judging from the ending of the story, Guts still has no chance of successful revenge. Although there is some hope, it is not much.
He, Ainz III, is no longer at the age where he can be inspired by the slightest bit of hope, so he can only thank the brave man for his kindness.
It's rare to meet such a kind-hearted hero. She is going to embark on a journey, right? Then as the king, I have to give her some travel expenses.
Just as Ainz III was thinking about what to give Erza as a thank-you gift after he left, the screen, which had originally gone dark, suddenly brightened again.
Ainz III raised his head suddenly, and heard the ambitious cry of an eagle, which seemed to have the power to bewitch people, which made him frown deeply.
A white eagle was flying in the sky, and behind him were more and more followers. Whether they were monsters or humans, they all stared at the white eagle with longing eyes.
Compared with its glorious appearance, the scarred black dog on the ground looked so miserable. Countless monsters attacked it. It fought day and night without a moment's rest. Its blood-red eyes were always fixed on the White Eagle, vowing revenge.
The white eagle flew higher and higher, and the majestic and magnificent capital city rose up under its claws. Any attack of the black dog could not even touch it, and its situation became more and more desperate.
The screen flickered, and a giant sword as big as a block of iron flew through the air, dividing the screen into black and white.
The black dog roared and snarled, and the white eagle let out a sharp cry.
As Ainz III watched with increasingly wide eyes, the once arrogant white eagle fell from the sky. The further it fell, the darker its pure white feathers became. When it hit the ground and died, it had already turned into ugly mud!
The giant sword fell from the sky and sank straight into the mud, making a heavy sound:
“Boom—”
Finally coming out of the image, Ainz III's breathing became heavier. He looked at Erza, his eyes flashing with an expression of impatience to know the answer.
The white eagle and the black dog must correspond to Griffith and Guts, so the last video does not mean that the man finally succeeded in his revenge! ?
But how is this possible? The power gap between the two sides is so great that it is despairing. How is it possible to win?
Facing Ainz III's gaze, Erza nodded, then shrugged, indicating that her guess was the same as Ainz III's, but she had no idea how Guts would succeed in his revenge.
But it doesn’t matter if you don’t know the process.
The moment he saw Erza nod, the uneasiness hidden in Ainz III's eyes quickly dissipated!
If a mortal like Guts can successfully take revenge against the god-like Dark Wing Griffith.
Then the difficulties that Ainz III had to face were nothing to mention! Moreover, Eliphis was already dead, the Hidden Dark Star was banished by the gods, and his beast transformation showed signs of improvement!
There is nothing to be afraid of anymore!
The conquered painting world will kick out the adventurer, but before that, the clearance reward will be issued.
A dark and heavy suit of armor slowly fell in front of Elsa.
[Berserker Armor]
————————————
Not long after, when Fingri and others saw Ainz III again, he was already in high spirits and full of energy.
People were very curious about what he had experienced in the world of painting, but he did not give them a chance to ask questions. Instead, he started to ask:
"Hurry up, let me see the fight between invaders!"
In the entire painting world of Berserk, Ainz III admired Guts's warrior spirit very much, who fought desperately even with a broken hand and blind eyes. He felt that this was what a warrior should be like. Presumably, this was what the old King Fred of the Warrior Kingdom wanted to learn!
Well, the adventurers of the Kingdom of Anor must have been chosen because of their spirit.
He couldn't wait to taste it again!
If Fingerly knew what he was thinking, he would probably break out in a cold sweat.
As the terrain of the Casas Underground Cemetery was complex and not suitable for watching the battle, the group went back to the Fire Shrine to help Ainz III complete the secret fire-infusing ritual to strengthen his mental strength, and then turned around and went to the Fran Fortress.
This is the place where almost every adventurer has their first encounter with invaders, and it carries the fond memories of too many people.
In order to facilitate viewing, they also found a beacon tower and cleared out all the monsters in the surrounding area.
At the urging of Ainz III, Fingri summoned the invaders. What kind of invaders could be a match for them?
[Invaded by the soul-sucking ghost "Black Bat"! ]
Soon, an invader wearing a black bat mask and wrapped in a black cloak arrived!
As soon as she appeared on the stage, she let out an evil and rampant laugh, like the big boss who would appear at the end, pointing at everyone and saying something harsh.
Then her voice went hoarse.
Because the moment she appeared, except for people like the king, the princess and the general who rarely participated in dungeon activities, everyone else looked at her.
When she saw Fingerly, Miss Black Bat's hands trembled.
When she saw Elsa, her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.
Damn, she just came to the novice area to fry some fish after a long absence.
How did they blow up the whales?
"Let's fight, warriors!"
Ainz III, standing on the beacon tower, commanded his knights to beat their shields rhythmically. It sounded like alternative war drums, and the atmosphere became heated.
Miss Black Bat was completely at a loss as to what to do. She had intended to fry fish so she forgot to bring the Farewell Black Crystal, and now she had no way to retreat.
Also, who is that old man who is making a fuss on the beacon tower?
Miss Black Bat looked at Elsa for help. The latter had experienced a burst of emotions once, so logically she should be more indifferent now, right?
However, she showed a sinister smile.
Miss Black Bat was dumbfounded.
It seems like we have no choice but to go ahead with it. It's okay, Luluwo, you have to believe in yourself. You are familiar with the Fran Fortress better than anyone else!
"One-on-one duels, no team fights!" She shouted righteously, but her toes turned silently towards the open road behind her.
Fingri saw through her intention, smiled slightly, nodded and agreed to her request for a duel, but behind his back he used gestures to direct Alayya and Matilda to be ready to outflank her at any time.
Ainz III on the beacon tower was looking forward to seeing a battle full of warrior spirit, and was completely unaware of the tricks of the two sides.
This is the art of socializing!
Just when both sides were ready to strike—
[Invaded by the invader "Yharnam Hunter"! 】
