I like crossing the most

Chapter 516 You Should Chant My Name

When the invasion of the kingdom was about to begin, Ainz summoned all the Floor Guardians.

"At this point, I won't show any mercy. No matter if it's Xiaolin or anyone else in the kingdom, I will kill them all!"

"As ordered."

The Sorcerer King gave orders, and the Guardians all bowed their heads.

Even so, Ainz still silently watched the Blue Rose people, the king and his two loyal guards leaving the screen, treating it as the last bit of his humanity.

"Cocytus, I give this to you."

In order to prevent his subordinates from dying, Ainz distributed the world-class items held by the guild to the floor guardians. Mare's [Greed and Desirelessness], Aura's [Mountain and River State Map], Albedo's [Hell Abyss], and Cocytus's [Hundred Million Blades].

Ainz's heart began to beat fast as he saw Lin standing quietly on the street, waiting through the light curtain.

Hey, what's going on?

Is that Xiaolin?

Although he couldn't see the face clearly, he had seen the obvious blue ribbon condensed by energy in the royal capital and the Katz Plains.

When Cocytus used [Hundred Million Blades] without hesitation after coming face to face with Lin, Ainz was satisfied. He was the kind of person who would use his most powerful trump card without reservation if he could not get any useful intelligence, otherwise he would not be able to use it. This was the truth he had learned from always losing the first time in PKs with other players.

As for the power of [Hundreds of Millions of Blades], Ainz was not worried.

Among the world-class props with various effects, there are of course simple props that exist only to kill the opponent. [Hundreds of Millions of Blades] is one of them.

The condition for using it is that the warrior level must be above level 60. However, because it is essentially a prop, even Sebastian, who is a monk, can use it.

The effect is simple and clear, which is to cause great attributeless damage to people and objects at the same time.

In the game of YGGDRASIL, its range of effect can cover the entire map without paying experience points. It has the power to completely destroy an entire maze and change the terrain. Low-level guild strongholds can even be directly destroyed.

If you pay up to five levels of experience points, you can even change the entire world's topography in one blow. However, that kind of attack spreads outward from the center, and the power decreases as it gets farther away from the outside. It is not like the [Halo Good God] that can deal the same powerful blow to all targets in the world, so it is jokingly called the "broom that cleans the map."

When the true power is released, a change in form occurs that is regarded as romantic by men.

A sudden burst of whirlwinds formed an ominous tornado that rose into the sky with Cocytus holding the "Hundred Million Blades" as the center.

The civilians in the capital saw that all the swords that formed the "shield" began to tremble slightly and were ready to move. The next moment, they left their original positions and climbed up along the sharp blade in the center, biting each other...

The surrounding space began to ripple like the surface of water, and countless swords and weapons emerged from it, gathered at the center, and climbed up into the sky together.

Endlessly, getting higher and higher!
How could there be so many weapons!
In just a moment, what appeared before mankind was a "tower of swords" composed of countless, countless, countless sword blades.

How tall is it?
It reaches up to the sky, splitting the entire cloud layer apart. Even so, the ants on the ground cannot see its top even if they look far away.

——It can be called...the sword that reaches the sky.

The sun's rays refracted on the edges of each sword, as if the entire "tower" was filled with blazing flames, flowing down like pillars of lava.

Brilliant.

“What…are you kidding me!”

“What the hell is that?!”

“No…no ahhhhh!!!”

Of course, it wasn't just the civilians in the capital who were shaken. All the lives hiding around the capital to gather intelligence were instinctively retreating like ants.

They couldn't understand.

It is incomprehensible that what is gathered here is "the swords of the entire world".

On the World Tree, there was once a world where warriors and heroes lived. When faced with the Nine Glory World Devourer, hundreds of millions of warriors throughout the world rose up to resist and fought bravely! … After that, all their swords and knives were fused by the warriors' unyielding heroic spirits and transformed into a treasure that could kill the world - [Hundreds of Millions of Blades]

“Phew! As expected of you, the product of millions of warriors! What courage! You actually gave me such a treasure, Master Ainz!”

Cocytus looked up at the endless tower of swords in the sky, his blood boiling in his cold body, and he was deeply moved.

Then, he set his sights on the blue figure that was still standing quietly in front of him.

Can't see face clearly.

But what kind of expression would it be?

Surprised, horrified, scared?
Seeing such a shocking scene, it is impossible to remain indifferent, but it is a pity that I cannot see the other person's expression.

“Feel the power that Ainz-sama has bestowed upon me!”

Cocytus seemed not to feel the weight of the tower and twisted her body slightly, while the tower completely ignored the constraints of physics and remained impossibly straight.

The light and shadow still stood there quietly.

He showed no fear, panic, or other fearful emotions, and incredibly, no arrogance or disdain either. He just stood there quietly.

Cocytus felt the humiliation of being looked down upon, an humiliation that he as a warrior could never tolerate!

Therefore, his whole body moved.

[Hundreds of Millions of Blades] emitted a terrifying roar—a roar that spread from an invisible top, as if the sky was shattered into pieces and poured down—

"I don't know what you are, but... roar!"

The sky was torn apart in lightning and sparks, and the clouds were split in two like the Red Sea, rolling to both sides. A roaring wind descended on the earth, and the world seemed to be covered with shadows.

The sword was swung down.

Boom boom boom——————

One sound? No, countless sounds!

The sounds of countless heavy objects falling combined together and landed heavily on the kingdom's capital, without any mercy and without any concern for the civilians in the capital.

Just like the army of the Sorcerous Kingdom, no grass grows wherever it goes.

When the chaotic and deafening roar passed, the air became like a suspension, with dense fine dust slowly floating in it, sparkling and very dreamy, making people feel as if they were in a fairy tale world.

——However, the entire surface of the earth was blown away.

All I could see was pitch-black scorched earth that stretched as far as the eye could see. It was emitting scorching heat and even had bright red flames like coal... It was like this everywhere.

In the middle is an abyss that runs through the earth's crust. It is so huge that it seems as if a god has pinched this continent and torn it open like tearing paper, with a bottomless abyss.

The monster's sword destroyed the royal capital!
however--

"Wow! Wow! Wow!"

In the capital city where people should have been devastated, there were cries of babies. No, it was not just the cries of babies, people's panicked curses, devout prayers, and desperate shouts followed one after another.

The land was devastated all around, but the residents of the royal capital were not hurt at all, not even their clothes were torn!

This unscientific!

Cocytus exhaled a breath of icy air.

It looked at the [Hundred Million Blades] above its head and couldn't help but suspect that it was actually the [Hell Abyss] - a world-class item with the strongest effect on objects, but not so effective on people. But even so, it was not something that humans, a mere lowly race, could mess with.

Why, why doesn't it work.

Not only him, but also Ainz and the Guardians who were watching the battle in the Great Tomb of Nazarick could not help but ponder this question.

Ainz stared at the light screen intently. He knew that all of this was done by Krillin.

call----

The cool breeze blew past, dispersing the hot air and cooling the scorching earth instantly, like a mother soothing a irritable child, and even the fear and anxiety of the people were completely calmed down. They put their hands together and prayed silently, and with their excellent hearing, they could hear that it was Xiaolin's name.

When the smoke cleared, a figure inside was revealed.

It's light and shadow.

Xiao Lin still stood there quietly, as if he had never moved.

"impossible."

Cocytus exhaled a breath of cold air again. He absolutely did not believe that there was something wrong with the treasure given to him by Ainz. It must be something that Krillin in front of him had done.

A warrior should not ask his opponent about his cards during a duel, but he couldn't resist his curiosity.

"You...did something."

He didn't expect the light and shadow in front of him to answer, but what he didn't expect was that Xiaolin answered anyway.

"——I just resurrected people."

"what?"

It was too natural. Cocytus's meager brain capacity was a little incomprehensible. He was not a smart person like Demiurge or Albedo. He was just a warrior.

"Your ability... or should I call it a weapon? It is indeed very powerful. It is the strongest weapon I have ever seen, stronger than the gods of the Theocracy. But it is just a weapon. It is true that people will die if they are killed, but humans can also be resurrected."

Resurrect after being killed?
Cocytus thought of Shalltear, who was also resurrected after being killed by Ainz, but that required a large amount of gold coins. However, he did not see those things next to the person in front of him, so it was obvious that she was resurrected by relying on other abilities.

——Is it another kind of magic?

Ainz stared at the light curtain quietly.

When he was active as the dark hero Momo, he talked to Krillin about special resurrection magic. Unlike the priest-type resurrection magic of Lagis, the leader of the Blue Rose (actually the same as the YGGDRASIL magic), Krillin's resurrection magic does not require gold coins.

But there are also restrictions, such as retaining more than 70% of the body, the time of death cannot exceed 24 hours, and the object of resurrection cannot be a demon.

It is indeed very powerful and there are no level requirements, but it fails the first one.

The [Hundred Million Blades] that Cocytus had just released had already blasted those civilians into dust. How could they be resurrected? And not even their clothes were damaged.

It must be a lie.

Cocytus thought the same, so he used it again without saying a word. The [Hundreds of Millions of Blades] left their original positions one after another, climbed up along the sharp blade in the center, and gathered at the center, rising up together to form a terrifying giant sword tower.

Xiaolin looked up at the giant sword hanging in the sky.

"Damocles...?"

In this world, there is a seventh-tier magic called the Sword of Damocles. Albedo can even use its higher-tier magic. However, Ainz knows that the Damocles that Krillin was talking about is not that kind of superficial magic.

"Fall!"

Cocytus waved his arms, and the giant sword in the sky fell again, but Kobayashi, who was locked in the center, did not move, and he even opened his arms to welcome the giant sword.

Boom boom boom——————

The ground was torn apart once again, gushing out scorching heat, like coal with bright red flames, and the scene was exactly the same as before, except that the ground where Cocytus was standing was spared.

However, this warrior was not as proud of his masterpiece as before, but stared at the thick fog, as if that place could attract his attention more.

"Wow! Wow! Wow!"

It was still the sound of a baby crying.

Cocytus exhaled in shock. The frost froze the cool air of the earth, but it made his heart unable to calm down.

call----

A breeze blew by, and the figure reappeared there. The surrounding civilians also appeared here along with the figure.

"Axis believers can do it if they work hard. Even if they fail, it is not the believers' fault. If they cannot succeed, it is the world's fault. Just escape from unhappy things. Escape is not failure.

If you hesitate too long and come to an answer, you will regret it no matter what you choose. You will regret it anyway, so just choose the happiness of the present. Don't worry too much about your old age. Even the gods don't know whether you will be smiling in the future, so just enjoy the present.

If you don't want to work hard, it's the world's fault. If you have a bad nature, it's the environment's fault. If you are ugly, it's your genes' fault. Don't blame yourself, just put the blame on others.

You, don’t be patient. Drink when you want to drink, and eat when you want to eat. Because you may not be able to eat tomorrow.

Kobayashi's gentle voice echoed in the royal capital.

And his words seemed to have some special magic, and the civilians around him clasped their hands together and followed him in prayer devoutly.

Xiao Lin looked... probably looked over here.

"You should chant my name, and you will see eternal life in reincarnation."

"——————!"

Cocytus took a step back subconsciously.

But he quickly took three more steps forward, emitting a powerful aura, as if he was trying to give himself courage, or as if he was ashamed of having retreated just now.

There was no doubt that no matter how many times Cocytus used the [Hundred Million Blades], the people in the capital would not be killed. He also noticed that light blue dots of light were constantly condensing from people's bodies and eventually blending into the light and shadow.

Xiao Lin said: "Can you let me duel with Lord Ainz Ooal Gown? I don't want to kill you."

laugh----

Cocytus let out a breath of cold air.

“Don’t get me wrong. I’m not looking down on you. I’m just repaying you for agreeing to a duel with Gazef at the Katze Plains.”

"Impossible. As a warrior, I must never let my lord be threatened."

"Really, what a shame."

The light and shadows trembled slightly.

Cocytus drew out the central sword of [Hundred Million Blades], which looked so slender compared to the huge sword tower, but the aura it exuded was not inferior at all.

He slowly took up his stance, ready to fight like an inferior facing a superior.

"I commend you for your loyalty, Cocytus."

Lin's hand - the outline of his hand could be seen vaguely, pointing lightly at the Zerg demon in front.

"——Holy Exorcism."

A vast amount of blue light spots filled with a sacred aura roared towards Cocytus and completely engulfed him at lightning speed.

A few minutes later, Cocytus disappeared without even having time to utter the slightest cry.

This is a lie, right?!
