Capital City, on an open space in front of a luxurious residence, was now covered in a large number of branch vines.
Those branch vines were like tentacles several meters long, constantly stretching and writhing.
The scene appeared quite terrifying.
At the edge of these branch vines, two figures now stood.
No, to be accurate, they weren't human.
They were the Undead of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
"Mare-sama?"
Entoma, looking at Mare who stood with both hands on his staff, his gaze fixed on the sky since earlier, couldn't help but ask curiously.
Then, she followed Mare's gaze and looked up at the sky.
Under the moon in the sky, there were two figures.
These two figures were naturally Wendy and Irene.
Perhaps Entoma didn't notice anything unusual about Wendy and Irene, but Mare did.
In Mare's vision, both Wendy and Irene had a blue, flame-like light rising around them.
That blue flame wasn't real fire.
It was a state visible after Mare cast the [See Magic Power] magic.
The size of the blue flame represented the amount of magical power.
At this moment, the blue flame around Wendy was larger than Entoma's.
And the blue flame around Irene, next to Wendy, was like a pillar of light shooting towards the sky.
"Su-such immense magical power!"
"I need to report this to Ainz-sama immediately!"
Mare, holding onto his staff, spoke in a soft, timid voice.
"Immense magical power?"
"From a human?"
Hearing Mare's seemingly self-directed words, Entoma tilted her head, her expression full of confusion.
"A-Ainz-sama!"
"What is it, Mare?"
When Mare used communication magic to contact Ainz, Ainz's voice soon sounded in his mind.
"U-um, Ainz-sama, sorry to bother you at this time. I have something very important to report."
"What is it?"
"I encountered someone with very strong magical power over here!"
"Someone with strong magical power? Can you estimate their level?"
At this moment, Ainz's tone hadn't changed.
"Not yet."
"I understand. I'm on my way. I'll send Demiurge for support. If the situation seems unfavorable, retreat immediately!"
"Y-yes, Ainz-sama!"
While Mare was communicating with Ainz, Irene in the sky pointed her staff through the air towards the branch vines on the ground.
[Enchantment Magic]
The next second, the constantly writhing branch vines began to wither and shrink at a visible rate.
Soon, the entire forest of branch vines had withered completely.
Gagaran, who had been bound and unable to move, looked at this scene and first exclaimed: "Amazing!"
Then, she exerted force and directly broke the withered vines restraining her.
Not long after Gagaran landed, Wendy, carried by Carla, also descended to the ground.
And Irene flew directly towards Entoma and Mare.
Seeing Irene approach, Entoma was about to attack but was stopped by Mare.
"Entoma, this human is very strong. You are no match for her."
Although Mare's voice was soft and timid when he said this, his face showed an expression of facing a great enemy.
Furthermore, his pupils were emitting a faint light.
Hearing Mare's words, Entoma stopped and immediately retreated, standing behind Mare.
Mare planted his staff on the ground once more.
The next second, two incredibly thick stone hands burst through the earth's surface.
Immediately, the two giant stone hands slammed down towards the ground.
One of the palms happened to slam onto the luxurious building surrounded by the branch vines.
Boom-
Instantly, the huge building was crushed directly, as if it were a block of tofu.
After the two giant stone hands landed, the earth began to shake violently.
Soon, the ground between the two giant stone hands began to rise towards the sky.
It was as if some colossal being was about to break free from underground.
And indeed, that was the case.
Under the utterly horrified gazes of Gagaran and Carla, a stone giant as tall as a mountain broke free from the earth's restraints and slowly stood up.
The two giant stone hands from before clearly belonged to this stone giant.
"This... what kind of monster is this?"
Gagaran looked at the immense stone giant whose top she couldn't see and spoke with extreme gravity.
"Wendy, quick, we need to leave here now!"
After calling out to Wendy, without waiting for Wendy to speak, Carla directly picked up Wendy and flew into the distance.
Gagaran also retreated.
Only Irene remained, hovering quietly in mid-air, looking at the mountain-like stone giant before her.
"So there's magic like this too."
"It would have been better if Brandish had come along to deal with such a large fellow."
As Irene spoke, the enormous stone giant threw a punch directly at Irene.
To Irene, the stone giant's fist was like a huge meteor, blotting out the sky and sun.
However, Irene's face still held its captivating smile.
Watching the giant stone fist rapidly enlarge in her vision, Irene swung her staff through the air.
"Enchantment Magic!"
Bzzzt-
An immensely large air shockwave, like a transparent flow of water, shot directly towards the stone giant.
The air shockwave was extremely fast.
In the blink of an eye, it pierced through the stone giant's entire body.
Boom-
Accompanied by a terrifyingly loud noise.
The stone giant's huge fist, which had been punching towards Irene, had vanished.
And the part connecting the stone giant's head and legs had completely disappeared.
Soon, the stone giant's head fell towards the west like a meteor.
And its legs also crumbled into a large amount of rock debris, collapsing downwards.
"She destroyed that huge monster with a single strike?"
"Who exactly is this woman?"
Gagaran, noticing the huge commotion behind her, subconsciously turned her head to look.
However, when she saw the stone giant disintegrate, her steps gradually slowed to a stop. She stared at Irene hovering in mid-air with an expression of disbelief.
