I like crossing the most

Chapter 509 What do you think of life?
What happened?

No one could understand in time.

All the creatures that made up the left wing of the Kingdom Army, including but not limited to humans, war horses, monsters, and even the insects crawling on the ground, suddenly fell to the ground as if their strings were broken.

The Imperial Army that was facing them was the first to understand the situation.

The unbelievable situation happening before his eyes made his brain slow down for a few beats before it came to a conclusion. Then the noise turned into an abnormal wave, covering the entire imperial army.

That’s right, when Ainz opened the magic circle, they knew it was some kind of magic.

However, who could have expected such a terrible magic, and who could have expected that the magic could kill 70,000 troops in an instant - more than the total number of the imperial army!
Even the imperial army was praying.

Pray that those people in the Kingdom Army are not dead, and pray that there is no such terrible magic in the world.

Of course, if you just see what is happening before your eyes, you will understand that it is nothing but wishful thinking. Even so, your emotions still cannot accept it and you are unwilling to admit the fact.

The fact that no one was standing.

It is too much, too much, too terrible.

No, it's not that simple.

Ainz Ooal Gown, this magic caster is a monster who can easily destroy a small country built by humans like a sand castle by himself.

The phenomenon before our eyes makes us realize this fact more strongly than a thousand words can express it.

The noise that enveloped the Imperial Army gradually faded away like the tide, and finally everyone shut their mouths and could not make any sound.

Only the Imperial Army remained silent, and strange noises were heard in the position.

There are too many sounds overlapping, and it even sounds a bit noisy.

That was the sound of the soldiers' teeth chattering.

Everyone felt the same fear of the brink of death as the Kingdom did... No, it was even worse! If they really became enemies, they would rather die like the 70,000 Kingdom soldiers! At least they wouldn't have to endure the fear of being shrouded in death!
But! If you think the magic ends here, you are wrong! The highlight is coming!

The first to notice something was wrong were the Imperial Army.

After the death vortex claimed the lives of the kingdom's soldiers, they discovered a terrifying black sphere appeared in the sky that seemed to pollute the world.

They knew it was extremely dangerous, but they just stood there silently looking at the sphere floating in the air as if they were lured. It was as if the sphere with a hole in the air was like a spider web, and once they were attracted by it, they could no longer look away.

The black sphere gradually grew larger.

Under everyone's dull gaze, the huge fruit fell to the ground. As if it was natural, the falling ball broke apart as soon as it hit the ground. Like a water bag breaking apart when it hit the ground, or like ripe fruit flesh bursting open. It continued to infect the earth like ink, spreading another layer of ink-like dye on the red plain.

They had a premonition that more serious events were just beginning.

“Meh——”

Suddenly, there was a sound like the cry of goats. And there was more than one goat, as if a group of goats appeared out of nowhere. As if being attracted by the sound, the ink swelled and squirmed, and something hatched from it.

That monster was really abnormal.

It was probably ten meters tall, with several huge tentacles growing out of the giant tumor, and five legs like a black-hoofed goat below. The fat, knotty flesh cracked and soon peeled apart, and it did so in several places at the same time. The goat's cry came from the cracks, and it was a big mouth dripping with mucus.

There are five such horrific creatures in total!

They revealed their terrifying full bodies in front of all the humans on the Katz Plains.

—Black goat cub!

This is a monster that appears in proportion to the deaths caused by super-level magic. Although it does not have powerful special abilities, its endurance is outstanding, and the level of the black goat's cub is over level 90.

It may be an optional addition to powerful players, but to ordinary humans who have no resistance, it is a monster like a natural disaster that can destroy the kingdom!

The crusade level has reached an all-time high!
A clanging sound began to be heard in the Empire's position. It was the sound of armor colliding, and the soldiers were trembling, but who would laugh at them?

It was impossible not to get goosebumps after hearing the terrifying summoning magic Ainz had just cast.

All the imperial soldiers present hoped that such cruel force would not fall on them. They clasped their hands together and closed their eyes, looking as if they were praying to God.

With the soldiers’ pleas at his back, Ainz began to move on to the next stage.

Although he felt that he had done enough, he remained relaxed and thought that it might be better to kill a few more.

The purpose this time is to use super-level magic to publicize the powerful force of Ainz Ooal Gown to all countries.

In this regard, the goal has been achieved.

But it would be a shame to just eliminate the magic like this.

Yes, what a pity.

After all, even in the game, he has never summoned five black goats. Wouldn't it be a waste if he didn't put on a good show?

"——Well, let's give it a try. Let's start the chase, you cute little goats."

Following the order from the summoner Ainz, the Dark Youngs slowly began to move. Their movements were more like a show of strength than elegance, and perhaps looked quite warm and cute. Of course, the premise was that they didn't fall on themselves.

The five black goats started running, heading straight for the kingdom's army.

"Oh, right, there are three people - no, four... five people who must not be killed. Do not hurt them."

In addition to the three people mentioned by Demiurge, Ainz also added Gazef and Krillin. Although he didn't think Krillin would die, he still wanted to be on the safe side.

However, the next second——

"boom----"

The huge beam of light instantly penetrated one of the black goats, killing it on the spot.

Ainz had seen that move before. Although it was not as eye-catching and spectacular in the middle of the night, he knew who used that skill.

It’s Kobayashi.

Great! Really great!
Being able to defeat a level 90 black goat kid, even if it was only due to his endurance, was already impressive for a race like humans whose highest level was less than level 40.

At least to be fair, if Ainz were in the other person's shoes, he would definitely not be able to do this.

But that’s about it.

He knew that after using this move, the opponent would become exhausted and enter a state of near death. Even if he expelled one black goat, there were still four on the scene.

"…Forget it, let's go there."

Ainz was not afraid that Krillin would kill all the black goats. Instead, he was afraid that Krillin would be accidentally trampled to death by the black goats. That's right.

Ainz summoned a black goat and flew up to it. He told the others to wait here, then rode the goat towards the column of light.

----

"Hey... this, I am dreaming."

Looking at the alien monster from afar, a kingdom soldier whispered.

However, no one answered him. Everyone's eyes were drawn to the scene unfolding before them. No one had the energy to reply, as if their souls had been hooked away.

"Is this a dream? I am dreaming, right?"

"Yeah, it was the most horrible dream."

It was only when he asked the second time that someone finally answered, and the tone of the voice sounded half escapist.

Impossible, I don't believe it.

This sentiment spread among the soldiers. Faced with the aliens that were slowly getting bigger and closer, they were unwilling to accept the fact even though the ground was shaking.

If it was just an ordinary monster, they might still be able to muster up the courage to resist. However, the monster that appeared after the opponent instantly killed 70,000 troops on the left wing could not be just an ordinary monster.

It was like witnessing a huge tornado sweeping in, and no one had the courage to stand up and fight.

The huge monsters moved their thick and short legs nimbly and rushed over at lightning speed.

“No, don’t…!”

Just when the kingdom soldier was frightened out of his mind, a water-blue figure flashed in front of him. He was wearing a priest's uniform with a blue ribbon fluttering in the wind behind him.

Just as the huge black goat hoof was about to step down, the man stomped his foot on the ground and punched hard.

boom------

A huge explosion and a blue beam of light shot up into the sky, instantly destroying the terrifying alien monster.

"So, so strong..."

He turned his eyes slightly and realized that the person standing in front of him was Lin!

"Master Lin!"

"Run away."

"me……"

"Hurry up, run!"

I thought the person who appeared would be able to turn the tide and destroy all these terrifying giant alien monsters, but I didn't expect that the first words he said would be to tell them to escape, and he even said it in a panic-stricken tone.

"Damn it!"

Tears welled up in the eyes of the kingdom's soldiers, and they turned and ran, even dropping their spears and shields.

It is a big taboo to drop weapons and run away on the battlefield, but Lin no longer has the energy to teach them a lesson. Letting them scatter actually saves them.

Looking at the four black goats in the distance on the battlefield, Lin's legs went weak and he knelt on the ground.

Whatever the case, five just won’t do.

He was lulled into complacency.

The purpose of the Empire declaring war each time was not to kill, but to contain the Kingdom and prevent it from developing, so there would not be many casualties each time a war was started. ... For the Kingdom and the Empire, the sacrifice of a few hundred people was not considered a large casualty.

However, this time it was completely different. Seventy thousand people disappeared in the blink of an eye. There was no time to react, and not even the slightest bit of defense.

It wasn't the Empire, but the necromancy magic caster. Even just a spell caused such horrific casualties.

Lin really wanted to ask that person what he regarded life as.

Looking at the tent where the king was, an alien monster rushed over there. He really wanted to go over and help, but his body was still recovering and he was powerless. He could only leave it to Gazef, hoping that he could lead the king to escape.

Boom, boom, boom——

The earth trembled violently, the sound of heavy objects moving slowly came to my ears, and the scorching sun above my head was blocked by a huge shadow.

When I turned around, I saw an extremely disgusting big mouth with mucus flowing out.

Another alien monster.

But Lin didn't look at it. Instead, he looked up at the skeleton standing on it, wearing a gorgeous and mysterious black cloak and with a red jade bead between its bodies.

He did not hide his features.

He was wearing a scary mask when he was casting magic, but now he didn't even cover it up? Was he absolutely confident of winning? No, what was he talking about? Wasn't the other party having the absolute upper hand now?
"Ainz Ooal Gown."

Lin whispered his name.

If you still don't know who the skeleton in front of you is, then you can really take his head off and kick it like a ball.

No wonder he can use such exaggerated necromancy magic, it turns out that he is actually a skeleton wizard.

The two of them just stared at each other from a distance.

Suddenly, a tentacle attacked from the side. Lin's pupils shrank slightly and he jumped up with his right hand, avoiding the attack.

It might be a small test in the eyes of the other party, but Lin's body was indeed at the limit.

——It’s reaching its limit.

Out of respect for Xiaolin, the steady Lao Gu just tried it out a little bit, and the result was just as he expected, Xiaolin could no longer use that skill.

"Forest!"

"Master Lin!"

"Forest--"

When Lin half-knelt on the ground, three acquaintances ran over.

It was Gazef and the other three.

Brian and Clem lifted Lin up. They had just seen the beam of light rising into the sky and realized that Lin might need help, so they ran over quickly.

Gazef looked at Ainz on the alien monster, his eyes slightly widened, and he said with some surprise and some relief: "Sir Gown, so you are not human."

Climb's teeth chattered as he looked at the black kid.

"What exactly is this..."

“Who else could be capable of enslaving such a monster except one person, Climb-kun? It’s Ainz Ooal Gown.”

"That's it, that's it... I'm so... sorry."

It is understandable that a young man who has not experienced real life and death would become mentally ill.

Brian laughed. “Don’t worry about it, Climb. There’s nothing to be ashamed of. Oh, I’m so helpless! A third extraordinary strong man! What has happened to my life since then?”

"Indeed." Lin took a breath and said, "I thought that pervert from the Church was invincible. Whose general is this?"

The two of them were chatting and laughing, seemingly not caring about life or death. In the eyes of the strong, such disrespect is a taboo, but Ainz appreciates it.

He shifted his gaze from Kobayashi to Brain and Climb before stopping at Gazef. He had not forgotten that Gazef was the only person Ainz knew.

"How are you, Mr. Stronov? It's been a long time since we last met. I haven't seen you since the incident in Carne Village."

"Your Excellency Gong, I hope you are doing well. So... can you tell me what you want to do? It's not like you just happened to see an old acquaintance on the battlefield and came here specially to meet him, right?"

"That's right. I don't like sweet talk, and this isn't the place to beat around the bush. So... I'll just say it straight out."

Ainz slowly extended a skeletal hand.

Not in a hostile way, but in a friendly manner.

"Be my subordinate."

At that moment, Lin thought he would say that he wanted Gazef to be his son.

Wait, why do I have such strange thoughts, and the closer I am to death, the more I have such thoughts.
