Chapter 24 The Strong and the Intruders (Finale)

Different worlds have different settings, and different settings create different systems, and finally this system completely plans the difference between strength and weakness, so that the world has a certain degree of order.

The strong in the high positions rule over the weak, and it is precisely because of the gap between them that the apparent peace is maintained.

However, there is a premise of 'the same world' in the above situation, and if the two are located in different worlds, then the difference between strength and weakness must be carefully considered.

In the end, what really distinguishes who is strong and who is weak is not 'what kind of enemy has been defeated', nor 'past achievements', nor 'past glory', but 'the setting that exists in the body'.

Suppose Demon King A has a magic sword that cuts everything, then Brave B who crosses over only needs to have a 'blade that destroys it regardless of the attributes of the magic sword'.

No, it's okay if it's not a blade, as long as you have the setting of 'ignore the magic sword attribute and destroy it', so B brave can even use items like branches, candies, and cookies to defeat the demon king, of course, provided that you have the setting just mentioned.

To sum up, when the characters of the two worlds are intertwined, there is only one factor that determines the strength and weakness - the setting.

Even if the enemy is a 'demon who defeats all things', as long as there is a setting of 'unconditionally defeat the demon'.

It's just that in general, there are often no such coincidences, so it is not easy to achieve the mentioned conditions at all, but if they do...... It's all easy.

The power of setting is so powerful, with the attribute of 'ignoring everything'.

It is for this reason that people often use the setting of 'attribute restraint'.

After all, in such a setting, even if the combat power in the work is out of balance (for example, some of the immortals that Gu Wu has seen in the later stage), as long as there is attribute restraint, the fire attribute mage of LV99 may even be defeated by the water attribute magic of LV69.

Attribute restraint can make up for the gap with the opponent, and if you do it well, you can even improve your win rate.

From this it can be drawn quite obvious conclusion -

The strength of the traverser is not determined by the world traversed, but by the setting on his own body.

Under such a premise, the "Senluo Vientiane" copied by Altaïr and Gu Wu is undoubtedly quite powerful, although it has no miraculous effect on a traverser like Gu Wu, but when facing these characters, "Senluo Vientiane" has an overwhelming advantage.

For this reason, Shatia Bradfren, who holds the nickname "Blood War Girl", is very vulnerable in "Senluo".

This has nothing to do with how strong Shatiya really is, just because she is weak in the setting, not to mention that Gu Wu and Altai have a numerical advantage.

The advantage in setting and numbers, coupled with Gu Wu's understanding that Shatiya would not go all out at the beginning, so he and Altaïr chose to fight quickly and completely suppressed Shatiya in just one minute.

It's just that this situation can't be maintained forever, and the effect of "Senluo Wanxiang" is not permanent, and Shatia is afraid that she will soon recover her setting and reappear as the strongest true ancestor.

But Gu Wu is not stupid, even if the ninth movement of "Sen Luo Wanxiang" "Cause and Effect Return" cannot continue to seal Shatia, he also has other tricks.

The system said a long time ago that Gu Wu's power was not as small as described.

On the premise of completing the final task, Gu Wu still has a large number of skills that have not been used.

As a traverser, Gu Wu also served as the ruler of the exchange world, a superpower, and a magician, and the reason why he didn't use all of them in the previous battles was because Gu Wu chose the easiest way to fight.

And it's too middle to shout out something every time you use your ability......

Not only that, but in terms of magic, because magic requires the use of magic power, and magic power will reveal his whereabouts, Gu Wu thinks that it is better to use skills that are no different from superpowers.

One more point...... Unlike skills that are directly activated, magic requires the support of magic power, and it can also be interfered with, which is also the reason why Gu Wu prefers other skills.

That being said, there's no doubt about the power of magic.

After all, the weakness of "requiring mana" mentioned above is also a strength, because it can be achieved with "only magic", and there are no other restrictions, and it can construct many magic spells with different effects.

Having said all this, all Gu Wu had to do now was to use magic and use it to restrain Xia Tiya's movements.

"In the setting of the original work, only 'world-class props' can affect it and exert the effect of props, and nothing else is estimated to be a threat to her."

"What is the setting of the protagonist and his team?"

Gu Wu, who was half-crouching, looked at Shatia, who was drenched in blood, and when he was about to take action, he heard a question from Altair.

"It's almost a setting like 'invincible'.,It's 'full-level' as soon as you cross it.,So basically don't worry about any kind of threat.,It's just that the hero is still very cautious.。

"Invincible ......? Looks like we've just lost a terrible existence. ”

"It won't be a problem to kill Shatia, but I think if we do, the answer we want will probably be out of luck."

Although there is a means of 'killing the protagonist group and threatening them', Gu Wu has no intention of continuing to mess around in other people's worlds, and at the same time, he didn't cross over here for the sake of chaos.

"And then? Are you going to take it as a hostage? ”

"No, Miss Altair, I'm just going to talk to her and let her contact the protagonist."

Of course, I will also ask Shatiya about the 'first host'.

Altaïr, who was aware of this, said that she was responsible for keeping an eye on the situation around her, so Gu Wu began to work magically.

Not long ago, Gu Wu mentioned the setting that 'world-class props' only have effects, although he didn't know what level his magic belonged to, he was still very confident.

Gu Wu thought so and began to mobilize the magic power in his body.

The imprisoned magic he was the first to use.

The effect of this spell is the same as the literal one, imprisoning the target and preventing them from taking any action; Unlike vertigo, imprisoned targets can answer questions and take action.

Gu Wu first prepared the most basic technique—imprisoning magic.

After confirming that the magic has an effect, Gu Wu increases the output of mana.

At this moment, the magic power that was fully output glowed, and the brightness gradually increased.

The magical streamers that shone here covered the sky like pale blue auroras, and the resounding wind currents were affected by the magic, and they roared across the forest, taking away the dull atmosphere and leaving a cool grassy smell.

Then, in the central area of this aurora following the wind vortex, the magic array that existed in front of Gu Wu shone brightly.

With each breath of Gu Wu, the magic array would also change its form rhythmically.

At the moment, Gu Wu's magic is actually very simple, that is, all the magic with different effects is superimposed.

Gu Wu's brain was constantly renewing and recalling magic patterns

Right now! The magic array of changes beats and stops like a heart......

Originally, these spells could be used directly, without the support of chanting and media, but on the premise of having time, Gu Wu decided to make their effects stronger.

With the support of the magic circle, a large amount of magic is carried out in turn.

Enhancement Magic, Re-Enhancement Magic, Effect Doubling Magic, Quantity Increase Magic, Duration Increasing Magic, and finally Enchantment Magic to make it have the effect of Winding, Pulling, Stress, Compression, and Fixation.

When the above magic was applied together, Gu Wu repeated the first steps.

Putting together hundreds of magic spells with special effects and then applying them to Shatiya's body was Gu Wu's plan, and it was also the best means he could think of.

After all, it is impossible for Gu Wu to directly threaten Xia Tiya to take him to Anz, this vampire, who is one of the fan sisters, will definitely speak out against everything Gu Wu wants to do, and it is impossible to cooperate.

It didn't take long for the dazzling light that had just faded a little, and Altair, who was staring around, moved to Gu Wu's side.

"How?"

"Perfect, I have strengthened the basic magic 'Imprison' in multiple ways, and at the same time relied on the enchantment to make it have other attributes to facilitate ......"

"It doesn't matter if you don't have to explain."

Isn't that right......

Gu Wu stood up with a smile, and then lifted Shatiya, who was imprisoned in the magic barrier, up with his ability.

"It's probably because the effect of the spell is too strong, and it will take some time for this vampire lady to wake up, so let's go inside the sulfur cave and see how it goes."

"You're going to look for the missing people?"

"yes, and I'm curious, why did Shatia come out of the Brimstone Cave, even if she was a vampire, she wouldn't like the smell of Brimstone, would she?"

After confirming that there was no sign of movement in Shatiya, who was floating in the air, Gu Wu walked towards the sulphur cave before Altair could agree.

————

There was a flowing wind in the cave, blowing from the northwest towards the southeast where Gu Wu was.

The area was dusty and smelly due to the fact that a lot of sulphur had been mined, but after about 500 meters, the road sloped significantly upwards, proving that this was a breakthrough space.

In fact, with the air flow, this can be affirmed......

Gu Wu stepped forward, the first to walk out of the sulfur cave, the area he arrived at was a square that looked like a patio, but part of its top was covered with green leaves and branches, if you observed it from the air, you would definitely miss this hidden place.

In this space, there are plenty of beds and a stockpile of smoked food, so it can be seen that it was used as an evacuee.

I have to say that this is a smart approach, because even if ordinary people attack this place, they will not go deep into the sulfur cavern, and when the time comes, they will only need to cover up the entrance and exit here.

Of course, Gu Wu didn't have any cover-up measures when he came in, probably because he was worried about provoking Xia Tiya.

"This should have been a small volcano in the past, and it was just right for them to take advantage of it."

At this moment, in the depths of the square, a figure appeared in an area under the shadows.

Their hair was messy, their faces were covered with dust, and everyone looked sleep-deprived, as if they had been working for a week.

These people saw Gu Wu and Altair, and then saw Shatiya who was imprisoned, they looked at each other face to face, knelt on the ground one by one, and some even lay down directly, and began to fall asleep.

"Explain it to me personally, otherwise the consequences may be serious."

"Wait...... This lord ...... We haven't slept or eaten for three days in a row, and we only have a little water to drink......"

"What happened?"

"We had attacked an adventurer before, and then ...... The vampire appeared, and she killed some people and left us alive, saying that she had to accept the 'punishment of the Supreme Sword', and to tell the truth...... We don't know what's going on. ”

After speaking, the tired-looking male sat down on the ground, leaning against the wall and gasping for breath.

It seems that after Ainz was attacked, Shatia came here to punish them, and the reason why these people survived was mostly because of Ainz's orders.

What does the protagonist want to do?

Gu Wu, who was puzzled, heard the man just now continue

"Two adults...... Please allow us to have a bite to eat......"

"Whatever you want."

As soon as Gu Wu's words came out, the people who had just observed this side immediately started to act, picked up the smoked food and devoured it.

Xia Tiya punished them severely, and Gu Wu, who defeated Xia Tiya, surpassed the demon-like existence in front of them, so he showed that appearance.

"When that vampire comes to her senses, we're going to have her tell us enough information."

"Miss Altair, of course, but if the other party doesn't cooperate, I don't think my hypnotic magic will have much effect."

Therefore, Gu Wu walked in front of the man just now.

"Where did the adventurers you attacked before go after that?"

"Those two adventurers......

"Yes, I need their information."

"This one...... I don't know the details, I only know that the direction they are heading is on the north side, and there are very powerful monsters over there, and we haven't been there, you look at the map...... There are no markings on it. ”

On the north side.

Gu Wu was going to find out, maybe he wouldn't need the imprisoned vampire at that time.

It's just that at this time, the roar of anger broke the stability of the scene.

This sound sounded, and everyone in front of Gu Wu immediately hid in the corner.

"I thought it would take half an hour, but I didn't expect you to wake up so early, Shatia."

"Human! I'm going to kill! Crush all your entrails that you dig up! ”

"It's a shame you can say lines like that."

"What the hell did you do before?"

"Who knows?"

Gu Wu pulled over a stool and sat on it, looking at the imprisoned vampire girl.

"I need information from Ainz because I know everything about you, that you are the Guardian of the first to third floors of the Great Crypt of Nasalik, that you live in the Dead Wax Chamber on the second floor of the subterranean Crypt, that you quarreled with Jarbede, and that Ainz is playing the role of an adventurer."

"...... you?"

"I know the secrets of your chest, too."

Gu Wu, who made a movement with his hands in front of his chest, gestured and began to negotiate as a 'prophet'.
