"These lizardmen are really weak. We made all these preparations to defeat them, but their strength is disappointing. Are non-human races this fragile?"
At this moment, deep in the Great Tomb, Ainz was puzzled as he looked at the scene in the mirror. His subordinates were dealing with the lizardmen right now, but it's different from the original work, as Ainz spared them to train his subordinates.
Ainz's purpose this time is very simple. It is to expand his army. Since the lizardmen were weak, Ainz intends to turn them into Death Knights.
However, he was also very puzzled by the strength of the lizardmen. They're a world of difference compared to humans like Gazef. In Re-Estize Kingdom, Ainz had suffered several setbacks. Pandora's Actor was defeated, and even his butler was controlled.
His own people had been used against him, making Ainz extremely cautious. It was the same for dealing with the lizardmen this time.
In the original work, only one guardian took action, but this time, almost half of the guardians were dispatched.
They even carried World Items with them. What Ainz did not expect was that it turned out to be a scene of using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
He never expected that the lizardmen were so weak that even the strongest among them was defeated instantly.
"Ara, it seems these lizardmen aren't as strong as we thought. Clean up the battlefield and let's go back!"
After beheading the last lizardman, Shalltear felt bored. The lizardmen's blood didn't even excite her Blood Frenzy. After all, good blood would usually make her lose control, but now, she had no interest at all.
"It seems that we are worrying too much this time. At least, the strength of the lizardmen is really trashy. But we still need to observe the humans. I wonder how powerful they are. If it is similar to the kingdom we've encountered, then we have a problem. If they're like these lizardmen, then this country is hiding a big secret!"
At this moment, Demiurge was deep in thought. The lizardmen's corpses here were quickly brought back by the skeleton soldiers. After all, these are all materials that would be used by Ainz to make new forces.
There are several lizardman tribes. Since Ainz did not give them time to gather together like in the original work, these several tribes have been wiped out, and there were no survivors left…
Ainz quickly used the lizardmen's corpses to create Death Knights and is planning to attack the Bloody Emperor. He needs to determine what kind of existences the humans of this world were. Are they exceptional or just average?
Frankly, he hoped for the latter, as the former would endanger the Great Tomb.
On the other side, the unconscious Antilene slowly woke up. However, the magic power on her body had been completely sealed, and she was also locked in a cell.
"Is this... a prison? What is that guy's deal? How can he be so terrifying, defeating me in one move? Let me see that guy!"
Antilene, now awake, spoke with fervornot caring about her current situation at all. Even though she was a prisoner, she didn't mind. Even with her magic sealed and unable to use battle aura, she didn't care.
"What's wrong with you? At least act like a prisoner. Besides, our lord is not someone you can see just because you wanted to!"
Lakyus looked at Antilene helplessly. They took turns watching her, and it was her shift when Antilene woke up. The first thing she did was ask for Asahi. Lakyus admitted she was a bit jealous.
What was this? A prisoner acting nothing like a prisoner at all.
"You want to know our goal, right? Just let me meet him once... I'll agree to whatever you want!"
As a yandere, Antilene has a perfect fixation on power. She claimed that if anyone could defeat her, she would bear their child, even if they weren't human. Such a yandere was truly terrifying.
However, there are almost no people in this world that could be her opponents. After all, she could even fight Shalltear without her full gear, showcasing her immense strength. Not just anyone in this world could defeat her.
"You…"
Lakyus was speechless. Even before starting, she was already back to talking about Asahi. This was crazy, but Lakyus was determined not to let her see him. However, no matter how she questioned her, Antilene refused to speak further.
Originally, Lakyus wanted to extract information about the Slane Theocracy from Antilene's mouth, but now, that plan was ruined.
Furthermore, Lakyus was just an adventurer, not a professional interrogator. Facing someone as stubborn as Antilene, she was completely out of ideas.
In this way, after a period of fruitless interrogation, Lakyus gave up and sought out the others, hoping someone else could get Antilene to talk. However, none of them could make Antilene to speak.
They didn't resort to any severe methods, so now they were all at a loss.
"Why don't we just agree to her request?"
Just when Gagaran suggested this, she was immediately met with glares from the other girls. Gagaran didn't have feelings for Asahi, so she spoke casually, but the others were different. They had no intention of suddenly introducing a rival.
"How about we let Renner handle this? Princess Renner should be able to deal with her!"
After some discussion, they decided to seek Renner's help. Renner usually had plenty of schemes and often manipulated things from behind the scenes. She was strong and smart.
They all supported Renner becoming the queen, but with her newfound strength, Renner wasn't interested in the position anymore. She believed that having power was everything, and taking the throne was unnecessary.
As long as her power is large enough, wouldn't she have the final say about who the king of this kingdom is? She can be the king if she wants to, and let others take the position if she doesn't want to be. Anyway, she could control everything from behind.
And now, they planned to hand the yandere Antilene over to the manipulative Renner. This combination was sure to be interesting.
