Chapter 3: The Real World
The sixth floor of the Great Underground Tomb of Nasalik is a forest of green vegetation, managed by siblings Aula and Marre. The trees in the forest are thick and huge, and the dense magic stones of the light attribute are inlaid on the ceiling hundreds of meters high, instead of the sun shining on the forest.
Occasionally, reptiles can be seen wandering around it, adding a bit of an eerie touch to this peaceful place.
On the other side of the forest is the pitch-black world, which houses a huge arena similar to the Colosseum of Ancient Rome, where invaders must pass to enter the next level.
In the huge and empty arena, a purple light fell from the sky and was fleeting.
"Wow! It's huge......" Ash complimented curiously. "That's amazing!"
It turned out that the flying squirrel had teleported Ash and the girl to the arena.
The girl looked left and right with a look of surprise on her face.
"This is the sixth floor of Nasalik, guarded by the siblings Aula and Marre." "Right now we're in the arena on the sixth floor, and it's a jungle not far from the arena, but because it's the gateway to the next floor, I've designed this location to be the most unique......
"Wow!" Ash's eyes shone with gold.
The flying squirrel silently held his forehead - "Didn't listen to me at all!" ”
At this moment, two figures jumped down from the high platform not far away, running towards here at a very fast speed.
"Flying Squirrel-sama!!"
A good-looking boy (?) Standing still in front of the flying squirrel, he raised his right hand and gave a standard military salute.
"Fly...... Fly...... Flying Squirrel......"
Behind the boy, a girl trotted over with a deadwood staff, stumbling as if she was about to fall in the next second.
"Uh...... Yaura, Mare. The flying squirrel nodded, and just as he was about to say something, Aula seemed to see something, her pupils shrank, and she jumped back a few steps away.
Brush –
When the flying squirrel looked confused and didn't know what was going on, Yaula pulled out a blade whip out of nowhere, did a backflip, and threw the whip blade at the flying squirrel in the air with lightning speed.
Next to the flying squirrel, to be exact, on Ash!
『Magical Blessing Attack』
At the same time, Mare raised his wand, and the red magic representing the attack bonus enveloped Yaula.
Brush - Smack!
The whip blade unleashed an incomparably powerful sword aura, but the moment it touched Ash's body, the sword qi seemed to hit some kind of wall, and only made a crisp sound.
Shields.
Ash's equipment, to be exact.
This nondescript peasant outfit might be some sort of high-level defense item as well!
Aula stared at Ash as she struck a beastly attacking pose.
"Lord Flying Squirrel! Why is this person here! "After that, it's another sword qi.
"Enough! Yaula, Mare! The flying squirrel's hollow eyes glowed red, and a black-purple aura rose from beneath his feet.
"This is a guest!"
……
After some explanation by the flying squirrel, Yaula and Mare finally put away their attacking stance, but they still kept an eye on him at all times.
"Squirrel-squirrel, what are you doing here?"
Aula asked respectfully.
"Well, I heard from Albede that an intruder has been caught by Shatia, and I asked her to send it here, and by the way, gather all the guardians in the arena, I have something to order."
"I see, it's been a long time since an intruder came to Nassalik, so I'm looking forward to it!" Aula said happily.
"En......" The flying squirrel nodded, and then glanced at the staff of Anzi Ulgong in his hand, "Yaura, I want to see your actual combat ability. ”
"As long as Lord Squirrel orders us, we will do it!" Aula nodded.
"En......" The flying squirrel raised the staff of Ainz Urgon.
When Mare saw the wand in his hand, he immediately said "wow"—"This ...... Isn't this the legendary one that only flying squirrels are allowed to touch? Mare said with surprise and excitement.
"That's right, this is the highest-level guild weapon made by our entire guild - 'Staff of Anziulgong'!" The flying squirrel let go of its hand, and the staff of Anziulgong floated in the air and spun slowly, which was very beautiful.
"The seven snakes at the top of the wand each hold a gem, each of which is a prop that surpasses the artifact level, and the power infused into the wand also exceeds the artifact level, which is enough to match the world's power!" Flying Squirrel explained with a little pride.
It wasn't so much to introduce Aula and Mare to guild artifacts they'd never seen before, but to reminisce about the happy times they used to have with all the guild members.
"That's amazing!" Aula and Mare praised, her eyes shining with gold.
Airplanes......
A red orb lit up—
"Summoning the Fire Spirit of the Roots!"
