Upon hearing Ainz's words, Pandora's Actor decided to make a run for it. However, Gazef wasn't about to let him go that easily. Pandora's Actor was stunned to realize that his speed was no match for Gazef's, who persistently closed the gap like a relentless pursuer.
"Is there any mistake? I didn't want to use this thing at first!"
Pandora's Actor lamented. Left with no choice, he crushed a special item, and instantly disappeared from the scene. This item was quite valuable, allowing players to escape the battlefield and teleport even during combat, making it a rare life-saving artifact in the game. It is a very rare item.
Now, Pandora can only use one in desperation. Originally, he can use Greater Teleportation, but Greater Teleportation needs him to chant for some time to be used, so using it directly would definitely fail as Gazef would interrupt him.
There's no other choice, so he can only use this item.
"I'm sorry, Ainz-sama, I failed. That guy is really strong, and I was no match for him. I had to use a special item to escape in the end!"
Pandora's Actor reported, feeling a bit humiliated despite his usual confidence.
"I saw it all. Gazef's strength is indeed formidable, and he's not someone you can handle easily. His speed is impressive as well. Without using that item, you wouldn't have made it back. If reinforcements had arrived, you would have been doomed."
Ainz reassured Pandora's Actor, understanding the necessity of the situation. After all, it costs more to resurrect an NPC than using an item. The number of gold coins required to resurrect an NPC is shocking.
But now, Ainz also knows Gazef's strength, so the negotiation can be put on the table.
Asahi watched all this unfold, noting the scheming on both sides, but it was obviously that Ainz suffered a setback in this round. After all, his actions were fully known to the others.
Originally, Asahi shouldn't have leaked Ainz's information, but doing so kept Ainz from gaining an unfair advantage. After all, a single World Item was enough to overwhelm others, making the situation tricky.
Now that it is determined they are going to form an alliance, Ainz naturally prepared for a grand entrance. His entrance is usually quite dramatic. Like when he took action against the lizardman, he is just like a max-level player showing off to newbies.
This time would be no different, with Albedo and Demiurge planning an impressive display.
Ainz's representatives contacted Gazef's group, scheduling the meeting for half a month later. This delay was partly to buy time for Sebas to gather intelligence for him.
Meanwhile, Sebas was already in the capital, and started collecting information. Gazef's group in the capital also knew about these things, but they chose to sit back and watch, as there's no need for additional intervention for now.
On the other side, Brain dispatched people to intercept a crucial delivery from Slane Theocracy. It must be known that this time, Slane Theocracy is bringing a World Item to Re-Estize Kingdom, the Downfall of Castle and Country.
Since Slane Theocracy was originally the enemy, Brain naturally wanted to plunder this item.
This kind of gorgeous clothes is simply too wasteful to be used on an old woman, so he doesn't mind taking it over directly. As for Slane Theocracy's people, he'll just kill them all.
Previously, the presence of the Sunlight Scripture had been merely a reconnaissance mission to gauge the target's strength, to see if they're worth being brainwashed. If deemed worthy, they would deploy a stronger force, which is why Shalltear was directly controlled in the original work.
At that time, Nigun and his men were under surveillance. The footage they recorded was transmitted back to their superiors. Originally, they planned to use the Downfall of Castle and Country to control Ainz, but Shalltear ended up taking the hit instead.
This time, their target was Enri. Upon receiving the information, the Theocracy deemed Enri worthy of recruitment and sent people with this artifact to control her. The Slane Theocracy's methods are like this.
With the World Item, the Downfall of Castle and Country, they can easily control others. This World Item was indeed peculiar, allowing its user to exert control, though the target could resist, leading to potential complications.
While Downfall of Castle and Country was not the most powerful World Item, its effective use could yield results surpassing other, more potent World Items.
Of course, if they could obtain the Ahura Mazda, it would be devastating for Nazarick.
This World Item would cover the entire world, all entities with negative karma values, which included every member of Nazarick. Once such an item is activated, Nazarick would be severely crippled instantly.
Of course, there are other weird World Items, but at this stage, these items have not yet appeared. Only Downfall of Castle and Country wore by an old woman has been sent here.
Brain, knowing this, has been guarding here. He also thought that maybe, he can use this thing to directly control the members of the Nazarick.
In this regard, the Slane Theocracy was unaware that they were walking into a trap, eagerly delivering the World Item.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed. Brain, who had been waiting a little impatiently, finally saw the target he had been waiting for.
"They're finally here. I've been waiting for this for half a month!"
Brain grumbled but was pleased at the thought of acquiring such a valuable item.
On the other side, the members of the Black Scripture didn't know that someone was preparing to ambush them. They continued their journey until they walked into Brain's trap and were directly surrounded.
Surrounding them is just in case. Brain immediately killed the old woman who held the Downfall of Castle and Country. He knew its controlling power and he dare not say that he can get rid of it, so he chose to directly kill the owner.
When the old woman was killed directly, the others were shocked. And even if their strength entered the realm of heroes, for Brain, they are just special trash among trashes. Within a few seconds, the members of the Black Scripture were eliminated directly.
Then, Brain directly took the old woman's body. As for why her body was taken away, it's because he was not a pervert. He didn't want to strip an old woman's clothes, so he'll just leave that to others.
The World Item changed hands just like that. It was indeed audacious of the Slane Theocracy to send out such a valuable item without more caution. Reflecting on this, Brain found it both amusing and unbelievable.
