The Dark Warrior

only do they have powerful physical attack power, physical defense and endless

stamina, they were also able to use numerous special abilities and magic.

They had already reached a special level.

YGGDRASIL had many different types of monsters, among them were named

monsters along with regional monster chieftains and they also had very strong

world-class monsters. Even if six teams consisting of six members each were to

fight against these monsters, their chances of success would be very low.

Other than the boss who appeared at the end of the main-story, “Devourer of the

Nine Worlds”, there were stil the “Eight Dragons”, the “Seven Demon Kings of

Sin”, the “Ten Great Angels of the Tree of Life”. The expansion “Valkyrie’s

Downfall” also introduced new bosses, the “God of the 6th Day” and the “Five

Rainbow Buddhas”. Altogether, there were thirty-two level-breaking monsters.

Some of these bosses were from the dragon race, which showed the

preferences of the developers.

If dragons really exist, then I must be extra careful. In YGGDRASIL, dragons

were a race with indeterminate lifespan, so meeting a dragon with power

beyond imagination wouldn’t be strange.

“Ah——if you don’t mind me asking, but what’s the name of the dragon who’s

able to change the weather?”

Ainz wasn’t shameless enough to calmly ask something of the person he had a

quarrel with, so he quietly whispered. But it was stil loud enough to catch

everyone’s attention, so Ninya quickly turned his head around.

They were acting like a quarreling couple, Ainz wanted to use that question as a

chance to reconcile with Ninya.

Ainz could not resist thinking about the scene he saw in a coffee shop in the

past to compare with this situation.

Having said that, since it was Ainz who asked the question, Ninya showed a

small, cheerful expression. The members of the Dark Sword and Enfrea smiled

as well and only Narberal was unmoved. Speaking of which, ever since this

morning, Narberal didn’t even notice the awkward atmosphere between those

two.

“Terribly sorry! Once we’ve returned to the city, I wil look that up!”

No, there is no need to be so excited… Just saying that you don’t know is good

enough… I only wanted an answer…

Just that he did not say those words.

“Eh, in that case Ninya-san, if time permits, would you please help me check it

out?”

“I understand, Momon-san!”

Everyone nodded in satisfaction, making Ainz feel embarrassed. The situation

would be different if it was the other way round, but being oldest person in the

group he couldn’t help feeling ashamed.

“Alright, we should be arriving at Carne Vil age soon…”

This would be the first cheerful thing he said all morning, but suddenly Enfrea

went silent.

Everyone started to look at the vil age as it gradually got into their sights. It was

a simple vil age that was situated next to a forest. No strange atmosphere could

be felt from it and there was also nothing of interest, so nobody knew why

Enfrea suddenly stopped talking.

“What’s wrong, Enfrea-san? Did something happen?”

“Ah, never mind. It’s just that this sturdy fence wasn’t here before…”

“Is that so? But looking at it, there doesn’t seem to be anything special about it

at all. To be honest, this kind of defence is a bit shabby for a frontier vil age, isn’t it? This vil age is located next to the forest, so they probably use it to stop

monsters. It wouldn’t be strange if there was an even stronger fence, right?”

“Eh—— What you said may be true... but Carne Vil age was protected by the

Virtuous King of the Forest, they never needed a palisade before...”

They all looked at the vil age. From what they could see, the vil age was

completely surrounded by the wal s, some of them were even fashioned from

wood that would break easily.

“How strange indeed… what happened here....”

Even after hearing the young man’s uneasy questions, Ainz stil didn’t say

anything, because the last time he visited the vil age it was as the Magic

Chanter ‘Ainz Ooal Gown’, and right now he was the Adventurer Momon.

Ninya interrupted with a serious face:

“Maybe I’m worrying too much… but I clearly remember the vil age from the last

time I came here, and I noticed two very suspicious differences. One is that

even now I don’t see anyone working in the fields and the other one is that some

of the wheat has already been harvested.”

Looking towards the direction Ninya was facing, they could clearly see that parts

of the wheat fields had already been harvested.

“I see. In that case… what exactly happened here?”

Ainz with an uneasy expression said to everyone:

“...Everyone, please leave this to us. Nabel, please use your flight magic to

survey the vil age.”

After listening to Ainz’s instructions, Nabel activated her concealment magic and
