Ainz and his followers in the Great Tomb were unaware that they were being plotted against. The Slane Theocracy eyed them like a tiger watching its prey. Antilene had returned with crucial information, claiming she had gathered it herself. This earned her immense merit and further elevated her already high status due to her formidable strength.
Therefore, Antilene quickly became the theocracy's most trusted guardian. This was also planned by Renner and the others. After the Slane Theocracy learned a lot about the Great Tomb, they brought out their prepared arsenal.
They also quickly learned that the kingdom of the Bloody Emperor was under attack. While they didn't care about the Bloody Emperor, they saw the need to deal with Ainz.
The one attacking the Bloody Emperor's kingdom was Shalltear, a being of terrifying power when enraged. Though the Great Tomb had many beautiful women, their true forms would undoubtedly deter any interest.
Although many creatures in various worlds can assume human forms, their original forms often leave much to be desired.
At this moment, Shalltear was directly targeted by the Slane Theocracy. They did not know that Ainz had the special ability to resurrect these guardians, so they planned to ambush and eliminate Shalltear first.
Shalltear's strength was formidable, and she was a max-level entity. Even Ainz had to rely heavily on expensive cash items in order to defeat Shalltear in the original work. Otherwise, as a mage fighting directly against this super soldier, he wouldn't even have time to release his magics.
Ainz's combat effectiveness is mainly bombing from the rear. As for standing in the front line, it is not suitable for Ainz, because the casting time of the Super Magic takes too long, and only by using cash item can it be shortened.
The Slane Theocracy now armed Antilene to the teeth, along with other supporting forces, making Shalltear's situation precarious. Although Shalltear was immensely powerful and Antilene is definitely not her opponent, but what the Slane Theocracy is holding in their hands is what the Six Great Gods left behind. And these things are enough to kill Shalltear.
There are many World Items, and they are all heaven-defying. This time, Antilene had two World Items on her body, one for defense, the Ash Tree Armor, which could withstand even direct attacks from super-tier magic, and another for offense, a Holy Greatsword specifically designed to counter undead beings. According to the game's settings, a general player facing this sword would be downgraded by five levels, but a dark creature like Shalltear would be suppressed by ten levels, affecting her strength, speed, recovery, and more.
These two items together gave Antilene the ability to challenge Shalltear. It was a classic case of compensating for insufficient power with superior equipment.
Armed with these items, Antilene and her squad launched a direct assault on the Great Tomb's army.
They broke through the skeletal defenses and penetrated deep into Great Tomb's army. While Antilene could now match Shalltear in battle, the Slane Theocracy had prepared many other items left by the Six Great Gods.
The other World Item they brought is specially designed for bombardment, a colossal mirror. The Slane Theocracy had gathered all their nation's magic casters behind one side of the mirror, which could absorb their collective power, while the other side could release it.
The chance to use the mirror was a one-time opportunity. Although it was a World Item that could be used again, the enormous energy required meant that the Slane Theocracy's forces couldn't utilize it more than once without substantial recovery.
This was their trump card. And now, they needed Antilene to engage Shalltear, injuring her or driving her into a frenzy.
And Antilene, showing her cunningness, brought large quantities of blood.
Blood had a powerful allure for Shalltear as a vampire, and an abundance of it would trigger her blood frenzy, potentially making her reveal her true form. As long as she didn't enter her Valkyrie state, they had a chance to deal with her.
The World Item, gathering the power of numerous magic casters, boasted an attack strength surpassing Super Magic, enough to destroy Shalltear, provided they could hit her.
After a series of preparations, Antilene charged into the inside of the Great Tomb's force directly, launching a direct assault on Shalltear. She knew that they didn't have much time, and it would not be long before the people from the Great Tomb came over.
So, she must end this as soon as possible.
"Who on earth are you?!"
After Shalltear fought Antilene, she also felt a little frightened. The strength of the other party was definitely not weak, and she could feel that although the opponent was a little weaker than herself, the items in the opponent's hand made her extremely uncomfortable.
Moreover, Antilene directly threw a large amount of blood she had brought, pushing Shalltear into a blood frenzy before she could assume her Valkyrie state. Seizing this opportunity, Antilene struck with her greatsword, inflicting severe wounds on Shalltear, though killing her outright would not be so simple.
The weaknesses of these dark creatures were too apparent. Shalltear, caught between her blood frenzy and injuries, was now vulnerable.
After a while, Antilene signaled her, and then they unveiled the cloth covering the mirror. Then, the mirror's light shone upon Shalltear.
"It's starting. This guy, what a filthy existence, attack!"
When the people of the Slane Theocracy first saw Shalltear's appearance, they thought that Shalltear was very cute. But now, they recoiled in disgust at Shalltear's true form, as any previous notions of her cuteness vanishing.
The assembled magic casters poured their power into the mirror. Within three seconds, the mirror absorbed their collective energy, and the battlefield mirror emitted a brilliant light. A beam of light engulfed Shalltear, who, not in her complete Valkyrie form, was consumed entirely, leaving no trace.
