Inside a mansion inhabited by nobles in the royal capital, a number of people had gathered...
No, they weren't people!
They were the Undead of Nazarick!
Looking around, one could see Yuri Alpha, Solution Epsilon, CZ2128 Delta, Entoma Vasilissa Zeta, and Lupusregina Beta of the Pleiades were all present!
Furthermore, the max-level Guardians Demiurge, Mare, and Aura were also there...
"I never expected Ainz-sama to deploy so many combat forces..."
Sebas, dressed in a black butler suit, looked at Demiurge, Mare, and the others in the room with a feeling of being overwhelmingly honored!
"Sebas, Ainz-sama sent us to uphold the dignity of Nazarick, to let that foolish Eight Fingers know the consequences of offending Nazarick!"
Reaching this point, Demiurge adjusted his glasses, looked at Sebas, and continued: "You understand what I mean, don't you?"
"Ah, of course. Rescuing Tuare is incidental, and punishing the Eight Fingers is the key."
Sebas looked at Demiurge and said.
"Forgive me for not being able to tell you everything about tonight's events. Your task is considered complete once you rescue that human woman. After that, you just need to take that human woman back to Nazarick."
"I understand."
"Then... Operation begin!"
With Demiurge's command, the people originally gathered in the room instantly turned into streaks of black shadow and vanished!
…
Just as Demiurge, Sebas, and the others began their operation, Kenichi, Erza, and Kagura, led by Brain and Climb, arrived outside a majestic mansion!
This mansion was one of the Eight Fingers' strongholds and the target that Kenichi, Erza, and the group needed to attack.
Wendy and Carla, who were originally with Kenichi, had now gone with Blue Rose's Gagaran to another Eight Fingers' stronghold.
"We don't know the specific situation inside yet. I'll sneak in first to scout. You wait outside for now."
Brain looked at the huge building before him and, after saying this to Kenichi and Climb, prepared to climb the wall to get in.
However, just as Brain took his first step, Kenichi stopped him: "No need."
'Huh?'
Hearing Kenichi's words, Brain's forward step halted. He turned to look at Kenichi, his face full of confusion: "What do you mean?"
"Just break through the front."
With that, Kenichi, accompanied by Erza and Kagura, swaggered directly towards the stronghold's main gate.
"Look, the Six Arms within the Eight Fingers possess strength equivalent to Adamantite-ranked adventurers. Right now, we don't know what's inside. Charging in like this is a bit too reckless, isn't it?"
Climb caught up and tried to persuade Kenichi.
"I used to be like you, looking down on others. But after facing a certain monster, I realized just how insignificant I am."
"I want to remind you, there are too many people in this world stronger than you. Being cautious isn't wrong."
Brain also caught up and tried to persuade Kenichi.
Hearing Brain's words, Kenichi gave a faint smile.
'The monster you mentioned is Shalltear, right?'
'She works for me now...'
Although Kenichi really wanted to say this to Brain, he ultimately ignored him and called out to Kagura: "Kagura!"
Hearing Kenichi's words, Kagura nodded in understanding, then pushed off with her feet. Her body shot towards the iron gate ahead like an arrow from a bow.
When Kagura reached the front of the gate, the still-sheathed sword in her hand slashed fiercely towards the iron gate...
Boom!
The moment Kagura's sword struck the iron gate, a violent impact sound rang through the air.
Immediately after, the heavy iron gate collapsed with a crash!
Seeing this, Climb and Brain couldn't help but glance at each other, then reluctantly followed Kenichi as he walked directly into the building!
At this moment, both Climb and Brain were very worried. They feared that Kenichi's recklessness would put them in grave danger...
However, when Brain and Climb entered the building, their fears were realized!
They saw the garden before them was filled with a large number of people!
These people seemed to have been waiting for their arrival. Seeing Kenichi, Erza, and the group suddenly intrude, their faces all revealed smiles like cats playing with mice!
"Oh no! Five of the Six Arms are all here!"
"We've been ambushed!"
Climb looked at the five leading figures ahead, his face extremely grim.
Brain also placed his hand on the sword at his waist, looking at the crowd before him as if facing a great enemy!
Although Brain and Climb didn't know why the strongest Six Arms of the Eight Fingers were all gathered here, they knew one thing: because of Kenichi's recklessness, they were all going to die here!
"Oh my, oh my, if it isn't Brain Unglaus. To think you would come here."
"That's fine too. We'll use you to warm up before torturing that old man to death!"
A man with a long sword at his waist looked at Brain and said mockingly.
"That old man? So the Eight Fingers weren't ambushing us?"
Climb stared at the man who spoke and said in a deep voice.
Perhaps Climb and Brain couldn't immediately figure out who the 'old man' the Six Arms referred to was, but Kenichi instantly know who is it.
That's right. The 'old man' the Six Arms mentioned was none other than Sebas.
The Six Arms had gathered here to kill Sebas, and Kenichi's group had barged in before Sebas arrived.
Just as Climb and Brain were utterly alarmed, Kenichi looked at the five Six Arms members before him, who were comparable to Adamantite-ranked adventurers, with great interest.
