Chapter 1263: Chapter 869: On the Brink

“I think, although the ability might be average, it can still be useful.”

Grimmjow knew the boss enjoyed collecting various skills, and this didn’t seem much inferior to ‘Martial Arts’, so it should count as one of the gains.

“If everyone wants to learn, I will naturally teach you everything I know.”

At this point, Lan Mei paused, even though the task priorities had shifted, she certainly didn’t want to abandon the main quest. Then she turned to the eight team members behind her and said,

“From the fourth to the seventh, stay here. If the representatives here are interested, teach them the ‘Eight God Ancient Martial Arts’ without holding back.

“I will go with you to meet…”

But before she could finish speaking, Grimmjow waved his hand to interrupt her,

“Finish what you’re planning to do first, we can go there together afterward.”

He wasn’t acting on his own but rather because the boss had a task to lure out the Burning Legion, and he couldn’t keep handing everything over for the boss to do personally.

Handling it all at once would, of course, be the best…

From previous contacts, it was understood that the Magic Country might have already started engaging with the Burning Legion and fel energy.

Now, without any signs, one couldn’t guarantee what changes might occur later.

Or rather, perhaps this was precisely what the boss wanted, making use of the Magic Country to lure out the Burning Legion actively…

——

“Reincarnators, are they from the organization within the Abyss World Fragment? They seem equally powerful, straddling worlds, perhaps they are in opposition to the Burning Legion.”

Ainz had also made his decision.

However, at this moment, Demigros, who had gone to find Kapibaha, returned again.

Ainz gave him a glance,

“Did you encounter something?”

“The High-Level Demon of the Burning Legion has already arrived outside the Great Tomb…, I must have been followed, I am truly sorry!”

Demigros said fearfully.

This was truly a disgrace!

He thought he had been very cautious, but he didn’t expect the other side to be so insidious.

Now that the lair was exposed, and knowing almost nothing about the enemy, they were at a disadvantage.

Ainz listened to Demigros, also feeling somewhat solemn,

“I don’t like this passivity, but since the problem has occurred, it must be solved. Since they’ve come knocking, let them come. If we can’t face them even on our own turf, then no amount of struggle will be of any use.”

Ainz understood the situation well now.

The Great Tomb was the guild’s domain, essentially a war fortress!

In the ‘World Tree’ game, it was the top guild location, where all kinds of mechanisms and boosts worked with their forces, able to show their strongest form.

While it was indeed troubling to have the lair approached so quickly, now was the time to showcase their strength!

“Demons are quite a practical race; weakness will lead to being devoured without even bones left.”

Though he had entertained thoughts of joining the Burning Legion, Ainz knew he couldn’t blindly compromise.

In his hands were many loyal Guardians, eleven World Items, and the Great Tomb; that was his confidence!

…

“So this is the Great Tomb, truly an extraordinary sight…”

Kapibaha followed Demigros into the Great Tomb, descending layer by layer, sensing the various powerful Magic Traps lurking in the shadows, observing the layers of Guardians and the barriers and constraints of the Great Tomb itself.

He was quite moved along the way.

He wasn’t tracking them; it was mainly because the boss gave a rough location upon departure, and with the Dreadlord’s power, he could naturally find it.

“This fortress built by the Supreme Beings naturally possesses immense might, but your uninvited arrival is indeed a bit rude.”

Demigros still cared about being tracked.

“Heh heh heh, I come bearing gifts for you; if you try using the Seed of Fel Energy, you should feel my sincerity. We accept all who pursue power; the Burning Legion seeks only strength, might, eternity.”

Kapibaha’s words were filled with persuasion.

Even though he looked a bit comical as a chubby Dreadlord, he still exuded a trustworthy aura.

“But earlier, we learned from a group calling themselves ‘Reincarnators’ that you enjoy destroying and transforming worlds. We don’t know your relationship with them…”

Demigros, leading Kapibaha deeper, inquired.

“A bunch of boring moralists, we merely pursue great power, not world destruction, only transformation.”

Kapibaha laughed and casually said,

“If you’ve tested, you should know that these ordinary World Wills tend to reject fel energy, requiring transformation before acceptance.”

“So, did you come to us to have us transform this world?”

“Yes, that’s the essence and price of the trade, we do not force.”

Kapibaha’s words actually set Demigros at ease; if it was just that, he hadn’t failed too gravely.

Then they arrived at Ainz’s throne and saw Ainz himself.

“This is Lord Anzi, our supreme Supreme Being.”

Demigros introduced with a touch of excitement, and Kapibaha graciously bowed.

Without waiting for Ainz to speak, he presented something even stronger and more robust than the previous Seed of Fel Energy—a Fire Spark.
