It was not the end of the world, but the destruction of the world.

This statement is not a deliberate metaphor for exaggeration.

At least, during this period of time, the world shrouded in the effect of the [Banshee Scream], which is the scope of the death magic, is indeed dying.

The gravel scattered in the air turned into nothingness and died.

The mosquitoes that flew around turned into corpses and died.

Even the lifeless air is dying, forming a vacuum with a diameter of more than two hundred meters, leaving this world with only the breath of death.

If the battlefield was on the ground, the land would not be able to escape the fate of death, and it would all turn into a desert in the blink of an eye, right?

This is a desperate situation where even inorganic matter cannot survive, whether living or non-living, will die in an instant.

In such a desperate situation, even Shatia and Albede disappeared at some point, whether they had escaped using teleportation magic in advance, or whether they had disappeared and died completely.

If they hadn't escaped, there was no doubt that they would have died.

Whether it's Shatiya who can turn back time, or Yarbed, who can transfer damage to the armor, as long as they are in this space of absolute death, they won't even have the opportunity to activate special skills, and they will die violently, there is no second possibility.

This is the killer weapon of the necromantic chanter of magic Ainz your Gong, the true trump card and the true strongest means of the Dead Ruler who brings death to all things.

In the face of such a terrifying force, in this world full of death, probably only Anz himself can stand here unharmed, unaffected, right?

Even if it was Riege, who was acted on by such a terrifying force, it was no luck at all.

………… That's how it should be.

"Hoo ————"

Fresh winds began to flow into the space, diluting the dead air here.

Ainz stood in the wind again, suspended in mid-air, but looked at the man who was also suspended opposite him, and fell into a state of speechlessness.

In a world that was supposed to exist only in Ainz alone, a second figure who did not die miraculously appeared.

“…… It was a terrifying force that I almost thought I was going to die. ”

With these words, the magic light of [Flight] floated around Rieger, and he looked at Anz with a calm face.

Yes.

Rige, alive.

“…… Did you use a resurrection item? ”

In a hoarse voice, Ainz said something like this.

[Death is the end of all things] ——— the ability to enhance the magic and special skills that have the effect of instant death, after activation, no one should be able to resist the instant death magic used by Ainz after it is activated.

Even if Rig has instant death resistance, after Ainz activates [Death is the End of All Things], his resistance is equivalent to non-existent, and he will definitely be instantaneously killed.

The easiest way to resist this is to wear a precious resurrection item on your body, or use a magic that can delay the activation and resurrection effect, so that you can be resurrected immediately after death.

As for the method of resisting this move without being affected, as far as Anz knows, there should be none.

Unfortunately, Rieger shook his head and denied Aintz's claims.

"I did use props, but they weren't resurrection items."

As he spoke, Rigra opened his clothes, allowing Ainz to see the emerald pendant he was wearing around his neck.

That's what Ainz was already wearing when he first met Riger.

At this time, the gemstone on this pendant is radiating brilliance.

Mu Yong doubted that this was the prop that Li Ge had just used in his mouth.

"It's called the god Merloay, and it has two very powerful effects."

Rige's calm voice slowly reached Ainz's ears.

"One of these two effects is that it can completely isolate the wielder from the outside world, so that as long as the power is directed at the wielder, whether it is harmful or harmless, it cannot be applied to him."

What Rieg meant, Ainz understood.

“…… I see. Ainz said in a deep voice: "Because of this effect, I don't care about the [Death is the End of All Things] I activated, but [Banshee Scream] is isolated, so the instant death effect cannot be applied to you?" ”

"That's right." "Your special skills are indeed very strong, but [Banshee Scream] is just a magic, as long as you isolate its power from yourself, then, no matter how strong your [Death is the End of All Things] is, if there is no instant death effect, then nothing can be done." ”

To put it simply, Rieger is now in a different space from the current world, which seems to exist here, but in fact is completely isolated from the outside world.

In this case, no matter how powerful the skills or magic Anz uses, as long as he can't affect a different world from the current world, he won't be able to reach Rig anyway.

If it can't touch Rieger, then no matter how powerful it is, it has nothing to do with Rieger.

Realizing that he couldn't stop Ainz, Rig chose to activate the effect of the god Merois and make himself invincible, so as to avoid this mortal kill.

Knowing this, Ainz looked at the Meroai god worn around Rig's neck with a different gaze.

This kind of effect, this kind of power, as far as Anz knows, artifact-level props will definitely not be able to do it.

What does this mean?

“…… World-class props. ”

Ainz's voice was filled with a cringe that he hadn't had before.

"No, it can't be, it can't be a world-class prop."

There are only 200 world-class items, which is something that any player knows.

In "Yggdrasil", Ainz had never heard of the name of the Merloai God item, let alone the name of the Merloai God among the world-class items of only 200 pieces.

So, Ainz can assert that it's definitely not a world-class prop.

However, this idea was shaken by Rige's next sentence.

"Why can't it be?" Li Ge said to Anz, "Even if there is no such world-class item in 'Yggdrasil', can't there be a prop of this level in other worlds?" ”

Ainz was dumbfounded.

That's what you say, right?

"Is that a world-class item born in this world?"

Only this explains.

It's just that, for Ainz's words, Li Ge could only smile noncommittally.

"It doesn't matter if it's not."

Rig tucked the scorching sword in his hand into a delicate scabbard that suddenly appeared, and placed it at his waist.

"Anyway, if you fail to kill me, then it's your turn to die."

The words, as if to state the facts, made Ainz stare at Rieg for a moment.

"[Advanced Teleportation]!"

In the next second, Anz activated the teleportation magic and chose to retreat.

No way, he already realized that he couldn't win against Rige.

Just kidding, the information brought back by Shatiya was fundamentally wrong, and the strength of the other party greatly exceeded his own expectations, and he was unable to defeat him at all.

If you use the level in "Yggdrasil" to calculate, the strength displayed by Li Ge has definitely exceeded the full level of one hundred, reaching the realm of the Dragon Emperor that he mentioned once.

】

Able to deal with five full-level 100 characters alone, and is also a team that is quite fully equipped in all aspects such as offense, defense, forward, guard, guerrilla and long-range output, etc., Ainz has never even heard of such a character.

In this case, if you don't run away now, when will you wait?

However, Ainz had forgotten that he was not the only one in this world who would hinder others with magic that would hinder teleportation.

"[Magic Rank Ascension: Dimensional Blockade]."

Under such chanting, an unusually powerful wave expanded in this space, causing the entire space to fall into an incomparably condensed state.

The original [Dimensional Blockade] was a magic that could make people unable to use the ability of the transfer system, but now Rig has also strengthened its effect, raised its rank, and made it the highest level magic of the tenth rank, so that once the magic is cast, no matter how strong the teleportation magic is, it will not be able to escape from this blocked realm.

"[Magic Disintegration]!"

Ainz tries to break Rig's magic using a spell that specializes in breaking magic, but he is shocked to find that he can't succeed.

The reason is simple, the magic he uses depends on the opponent's magic attainments to determine the success rate and the destruction rate, and when the opponent's magic power is above him, he has no way to break the magic cast by Rige.

In other words, at this moment, Rige's magical power is still higher than that of Anz, who specializes in necromantic magic.

"It seems that my training for 'magic' during this time has not been in vain."

Rige's voice rang out again.

"In return for your killer skill just now, I will also use the strongest sword skills."

"To be put to an end by this trick is not to fall into the name of the supreme ruler of your Nasalik underground tomb."

"You say yes, right? Mr. Flying Squirrel. ”

When such a frighteningly informative sentence reached Ainz's ears, Ainz saw it before he could reply.

I saw a bright sun rise in front of my eyes.

The surging flames are sweeping.

Astonishingly high temperatures are spreading.

The entire night sky is lit up by the dazzling daylight.

"Breath of the Sun: Pick-up Three-Type ......"

The sun swayed, flashing in the world of day and night.

"Lord Ainz ......!"

Shatia and Albede flew in from afar, looking a little hysterical.

Ainz was no longer able to respond to them.

Because, the world in front of him has been completely replaced by a firelight.

In the firelight, a figure suddenly appeared, and the sword was drawn in an instant.

The slash was as if it could evaporate everything.

That knife seemed to absorb the sun rising under the night sky.

The extreme scorching sun slashed, and it flashed in front of Ainz's eyes.

"Blooming Bloom."

Rieger's voice no longer sounded in front of Ainz but behind him.

“…………”

Ainz opened his mouth, as if to say something.

But he didn't succeed.

"Kacha ......"

The skeleton's body, which has attack resistance with slash attributes, suddenly cracked.

Ainz looked down and found that his body was broken in two as if it had been burned by a red-hot soldering iron, starting from his chest.

"Peng!"

At this time, flames erupted from Ainz's body, enveloping his entire body.

Ainz burned away in the flames until there was nothing left, and it was completely gone.

"Lord Ainz ————!"

The grief-stricken voices of Shatia and Albede echoed beneath the night sky.

For a long time, it has not subsided.
