Monster?

Feeling Rucker's horror, everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to look in the direction he was pointing.

I saw that at the edge of the black-green forest, at the intersection of trees like the gaps between the sharp teeth of a demonic beast, a silver-white demonic beast phantom was hidden in the shadows.

It was a monster large enough to compare to a horse, and although it didn't look as big as an ogre, no one thought that the beast was weaker than an ogre.

"Is that the Forest Sage?"

Anzi was vigilant in his heart, although he couldn't see the other party's appearance clearly, but he was so powerful, I am afraid that only the mysterious forest sage king.

Hearing the inquiry, Peter paused before replying, "I'm sorry, Mr. Feifei, because the Forest Sage King is so mysterious, I can't give you a definite answer, but according to the description, that hidden magical beast is most likely the legendary Forest Sage King." ”

Hmm, is that really the case?

Ainz thought silently, first at the monsters that were running towards them, and then at the forest sage king hidden in the shadows of the forest.

Thinking back to the information he had gathered earlier, Ainz gradually realized in his heart.

It is very likely that these demonic beasts were driven by the forest sage king, and they wanted to consume their physical strength through the demonic beasts, and then appear to deal with them?

Or guess their combat strength through their battles with the monsters, and use them to decide whether to flee or fight?

It's really cautious.

It's just a beast, but he can use stratagems, and he really lives up to the title of a virtuous king.

At this moment, Ainz became a little interested, and he wanted to capture the Sage of the Forest into Nassalik.

Thinking of this, Ainz glanced at Nabelal on the side, and said as he walked to the front of the crowd: "That monster may be trying to take advantage of the fisherman, and after our battle with the ogre, the other party is very likely to launch a sneak attack when we have no strength." ”

As soon as these words came out, the originally calm atmosphere instantly panicked.

After realizing this, Ainz smiled in his heart, he wanted this kind of result, so that the adventurer's courage and fearlessness could be supported.

Seeing that everyone was gradually panicking, Ainz said with righteousness: "But don't worry, the monster hiding in the forest will be dealt with by us, Nabei and I will expel it, and you can deal with ogres and goblins!" ”

"This ...... Mr. Feifei, are you really okay with Nabe? Don't need our support? ”

"No, just the two of us."

"That's really...... I'm very confident. ”

Peter's words revealed a little unease, it was the legendary king of the forest, and the reality was not a game, but a battle that risked his life.

"You'll know."

Ainz concluded with this sentence and strode forward.

Their steps don't look like pre-battle sprints, but rather like they're walking.

The goblins who were already roaring and rushing forward had not yet launched an attack on the advancing Ainz when the arrows were already coming from behind.

The arrow didn't miss, it sank straight into the head of the goblin in front of him, and the attacked goblin staggered a few steps, collapsed to the ground, and died.

"Don't worry, Mr. Feifei, we'll help you keep the ogre and goblin at bay!"

Ainz didn't respond to Ruckruth's shouts behind him, but crossed his hands behind his back and grasped the hilt of his sword.

With a bang, the two giant swords drew a big arc and appeared.

The dazzling light that greeted the eyes made the "Pitch Black Sword" and his party gasp, they were two giant swords more than one hundred and fifty centimeters, which looked very magnificent, not so much a battle prop, but more like a valuable work of art.

The pattern carved into the groove of the sword body resembles two intertwined snakes, and the tip part resembles an open fan, and the blade emits a cold and sharp light.

At a glance, you can see that this is a hero's weapon.

The figure holding the Hero's Sword in both hands not only shocked the team members of the "Pitch Black Sword", but even monsters with low IQs such as goblins and ogres were completely shocked, and they watched the figure rush towards the forest in a daze.

When he realized that Ainz was coming at him, the Forest King who was hiding in the shadows immediately hid in the forest, as if he was about to escape.

"Don't try to escape!"

With a loud shout, Ainz led Nabelal straight into the forest, and only after the jaw-dropping figure disappeared did the others gradually come back to their senses.

"Mr. Feifei, what kind of sacred ...... is it?"

Peter, who seemed to be speaking on behalf of the crowd, exhaled and sighed, as a warrior, he could naturally understand how much arm strength was needed to make the pair of swords like arms and fingers.

If he wants to get to that point, he doesn't know how much time he has to spend exercising.

At this time, the monsters that had been shocked gradually came back to their senses, and when they saw that the terrifying figure had disappeared, they roared and attacked Peter and the others.

Seeing this, Peter smiled and drew his sword: "But we can't be intimidated, now, it's our turn to fight!" ”

At the same time, the interior of the forest.

Ainz and Nabelal were still chasing the sage king of the forest who was fleeing in front of them, and looking at the monster in front of them, Ainz thought in his heart.

He had already seen that the other party was trying to introduce him deliberately into the forest.

But no matter what traps lie ahead, he will not stop, but he must be vigilant.

"Nabe, use probe magic to see if there's a trap nearby?"

Because he was wearing warrior armor, he was unable to use magic as a magic troubadour, so he had to ask Nabelal, the magic troubadour, who accompanied him.

"Understood, Lord Ainz!"

Nabelal first replied respectfully, and then opened the magic circle in her palm.

"Advanced Magic Detection."

With a fluctuation of magic, Nabelal wondered: "It's strange, I didn't detect any traces of traps, and there was no ambush around, it seems that the other party only wants to lead us into the forest." ”

"Oh, is that so?"

The red light in Ainzi's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, did the other party really just want to lure him into the forest?

The next moment, as if in response to Ainz, the rapidly advancing monster suddenly stopped.

The monster hidden in the shadows was hidden behind the trees, and only the eyes that glowed slightly yellow could be glimpsed.

"Oh? Don't run away? Or do you think you've led us to the Jedi? ”

A calm inquiry sounded inside the forest, but no response came.

Whew——!

Suddenly, the sound of breaking wind struck, and Ainz, who felt the movement of the air, raised his greatsword and used it as a shield to defend against it.

Boom!

As if the sound of metal clashing, a silver-white snake-scaled tail slammed into the greatsword in Ainz's hand at great speed.

After being hit hard, Anz slid straight backwards for half a meter before he was able to stabilize his body.

What a power!

Shocked in his heart, Ainz stood in front of Nabelal, who was not good at hand-to-hand combat because she was a magic chanter like him.

And from the blow just now, it can be seen that the Forest Virtuous King is obviously a melee demonic beast.

Because he doesn't have a special striker skill, Ainz can't think of any way to easily solve the opponent, and it seems that he can only engage in hand-to-hand combat with the opponent.

Thinking of this, Ainz sighed, of course, he didn't have lungs and he was just making a look.

Regaining his spirits, Ainz lowered his shoulders and struck a chase-ready position, waiting for the next attack.
