"Damn it, someone has invaded the Great Tomb and sealed the surrounding space. They even blocked energy, making it impossible to notify Ainz-sama about this. Who on earth did this?"
Sebas, due to previous incidents, still had some estrangement between him and the others. Although everyone understood he was controlled, it wasn't an excuse for attacking Ainz, and even Sebas himself couldn't easily forgive himself.
Now, he had been staying in the Great Tomb handling matters. But with the Great Tomb invaded and most guardians absent, and some special guardians in slumber, the only combat strength available was him, Pandora's Actor, the Pleiades, and a few special entities.
But such a small force couldn't possibly resist Renner and her group. This time, they did not hide anything at all. After all, Renner had decided to loot the Great Tomb completely, making secrecy pointless. So, the group wandered through the Great Tomb with ease.
The Great Tomb's defenses were transparent to them. Without the guardians, they didn't even consider the minions a threat. After all, the minions weren't high level, merely some special skeleton soldiers and a few vampire brides. There is also the rather high-levels Pleiades.
Upon discovering the invasion, they immediately fought back, but their resistance was futile. Among the ten invaders, except Antilene who wasn't max level, the others were. Even Antilene was fully armed, so they were unstoppable.
Pandora directly encountered Brain. As for Sebas, he met Renner once again. Because the enemies were scattered, the Pleiades quickly chased after him.
"Well, it seems we meet again. We must really have some fate!"
Lana saw Sebastian immediately.
Seeing Sebas, Renner immediately sent signal to the nearest person, who happened to be Lakyus. Upon receiving the signal, Lakyus quickly rushed over. As for Entoma, she had already fallen. Although she looked cute on the outside, she couldn't even transform and relied on many bugs, which was excessively disgusting.
Facing Lakyus, she was instantly slain. The maids' strength was limited and couldn't compare to the guardians. Entoma was easily dispatched, and Lakyus, after receiving Renner's signal, quickly ran to her side.
Soon, Lakyus saw Sebas who is fighting against Renner. She roughly understood why Renner sent her signal, it is to control Sebas. Finding the treasure vault of the Great Tomb was challenging, but with Sebas, it would be different. The previous maids were too low-ranking, so she didn't hold back. However, Sebas, with his considerable strength, was a different case.
Renner couldn't use the Downfall of Castle and Country alone. After all, the caster will be completely defenseless during the activation process. If someone wants to kill her during the casting, it would be over in a second.
Thus, Renner summoned Lakyus, who immediately took Renner's place and engaged Sebas. At this moment, Sebas felt a chill in his heart. After all, facing one expert was manageable, but two was too much. He couldn't match them both.
"Who are you people, and why are you invading the Great Tomb?"
Sebas felt it necessary to gather some information, considering the situation.
"You don't need to know that. Just follow me obediently. This is the second time, isn't it? You really are unlucky!"
When Renner started the Downfall of Castle and Country, Sebas wanted to stop her, but Lakyus was entangling him. Thus, Sebas was tragically controlled once again. As soon as he was controlled, Sebas became Renner's pawn again.
"Take me to the vault. Lakyus, notify the others to come quickly!"
After Renner finished speaking, Sebas respectfully led the way. Soon, the group gathered, having cleared out the maids and most of the minor enemies.
"There are three guardians in the underground vault. Although their strength is not as strong as the guardians individually, they are formidablewhen working together!"
Sebas explained.
"Gazef, Brain, you two need to hold off these three. We'll go ahead and take the stuff first."
Renner nodded, indicating she understood, and then issued the order. As for Gazef and Brain, they naturally had no objections. They only need to be responsible for fighting. As for the command and strategy, it was left to the clever Renner.
In this way, the group quickly entered the vault. The three demon-like creatures guarding the vault immediately launched an attack but were effortlessly blocked by Gazef and Brain.
"This vault is unbelievable. How much gold and how many items are in here?!"
Upon seeing the Great Tomb's treasury, even Renner and Antilene were stunned. Compared to the Great Tomb's treasury, the Slane Theocracy's vault seemed like a rundown shack.
This vault was truly extraordinary. The sheer amount of gold was staggering, not to mention the numerous items.
"Forget the gold for now. We're short on time. Focus on the items and equipment first!"
Renner stopped looking at the gold. Gold wasn't the priority, items and equipment were.
So the group quickly regained their composure and began working fast, selecting and bagging the items to give to Renner to be sent away, following their usual procedure. However, this time it took much longer.
Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Ainz was becoming increasingly anxious. It's because someone has died, and when he tried to teleport back to the Great Tomb, he found he couldn't.
The space was locked, and he couldn't sense the spatial coordinates.
Additionally, another problem was that the space coordinates were inside the Great Tomb, so using his spatial transfer ability to return was impossible.
All he could do was wait anxiously while he and a few Guardians used short-range teleportation, which didn't need coordinate to be used, to move quickly.
Watching one name after another turn black, Ainz was incredibly anxious, but forced calmness will always suppress his emotions.
However, when he saw Sebas's name turn red again, his bony face completely darkened. It was the second time, it turned red to represent hostility. There is only one case of hostility in the Great Tomb, that is, being controlled. Ainz knew this well.
So, Sebas had fallen for it a second time.
