Chapter 390: Extraterrestrial Demon

"When did this guy get here? I didn't even notice?" Demiurge was shocked.

Then, the next moment, the young man raised the staff in his hand and aimed it at the two people in the sky.

"With the brave ice sword, punish the target! [Icicle Edge]!"

"King of Frost, overlord of the vast snowfields. Clad in pure white, taking away all heat, king of zero who governs death will freeze everything! [Ice Lance Blizzard]!"

"Oh azure goddess descending from the sky, freeze the world with your staff! [Icicle Field]!"

Instantly, a majestic wave of magic power erupted from Roa's center. In the blink of an eye, Roa completed this series of incantations.

The effect was very obvious. At this moment, the sky and the earth were covered by a layer of frost. The earth was frozen by white frost, snow fell from the sky, and countless dense ice crystal spears gathered out of thin air beside Roa.

Roa waved his right hand slightly, and a terrifying attack swept over. Frost instantly covered the two people, ice blades gathered out of thin air in mid-air and fell towards Ainz's body. Not only that, but ice crystal spears also flew towards the two like cannonballs.

"Lord!"

Demiurge let out a loud cry.

Demiurge stepped forward, standing in front of Ainz, his whole being radiating a terrifying aura.

The magic power infused into the ice crystal spear was considerable, and with the conditions created by Roa, each magic attack was extremely powerful.

However, these spells were blocked, but Demiurge paid a small price, with several penetrating wounds instantly appearing on parts of his body.

"Demiurge, use message to inform Albedo and all the Guardians to raise the alert level to the highest." Ainz had a gloomy face, his skull head flickering with two red points. But after the initial anger, Ainz felt a bit suspicious.

Why was he attacked as soon as he came to the surface?

And judging from the other party's posture, they seemed to be coming for them?

What exactly is this guy?

Was he exposed?

In an instant, Ainz thought a lot of things, but then, his brow furrowed slightly.

Ainz gently raised his hand, instantly shattering the ice crystals rushing towards him. At that moment, a huge wave of magic power spread out in all directions from Ainz's center.

The other party did not continue to attack.

Roa only released one round of attacks; he only came to show a portion of his strength, and had no intention of directly confronting these guys.

Roa raised his eyebrows; this wave of magic power had no other function, it was a reconnaissance method.

But Ainz didn't stop moving; then, several flashes of light appeared on his body, with red, yellow, blue, and green rays. Not only that, Roa could clearly perceive obvious distortions in the space around the other party, meaning that the other party had set up several traps nearby.

"Tsk, quite cautious." Roa clicked his tongue; the surrounding frost gathered again, forming a new offensive. These ice crystals stopped beside Roa, constantly rotating and floating in the air, seemingly ready to rush towards Ainz at any moment.

Roa's face was grave as he shouted at the two above, "Those who do not belong to this world, you should not exist here."

Just one sentence, like a thunderclap in clear skies, startled Ainz into a cold sweat.

Ainz opened his mouth in a hoarse, unpleasant voice: "What do you mean...what are you saying?"

"Stop pretending. This land has always been illuminated by the glory of my Lord. You extraplanar demons, everyone has the right to punish you!" Roa said with righteousness, earnestly addressing the two in the sky.

These words instantly made Ainz's heart sink.

'My Lord,' 'extraplanar demons'?

Behind the other party seemed to be a considerable figure. The guy in front of him could casually unleash magic comparable to seventh or eighth tier, which meant the waters of this world were deeper than imagined.

And he was discovered as soon as he came out, and a master was sent to investigate. This level of execution was too fast.

Ainz's brain was rapidly turning, but Demiurge beside him angrily shouted at Roa below, "You dare offend the Supreme One, I will tear you to pieces."

"Hold on, Demiurge. Since the other party didn't choose to continue attacking, it means there is room for negotiation between us."

When saying this, Ainz did not hide his voice, deliberately raising his voice.

Roa's eyes flickered slightly, not saying anything, the ice crystals around him hovering and spinning, only the frost underfoot became more severe.

But in the end, he didn't come here to fight either.

Seeing Roa's silence, Ainz's heart stirred, and his tone began to soften: "Human, I have no malicious intent."

Ainz began to tentatively talk. The guy in front of him seemed to be quite high level. Able to use such magic so easily, his level was at least around eighty.

And most importantly, there was a guy named 'Lord' above him. It was completely unknown how many such guys 'Lord' had under him, or even how many 'Lords' there were.

"Really, another trouble." Ainz silently complained in his heart, but he explained, "Human, your strength is indeed strong, but it's not enough. If you are the only one who came, I think, more than anything, the 'Lord' who sent you here wants to negotiate, right?"

"State your purpose, human."

Even in just this short conversation, Roa keenly felt several powerful auras rapidly approaching.

No, there were other creatures mixed in. They were densely packed, lurking in the shadows, already surrounding Roa.

With the blessing of Sword Heart and Transparent World, Roa had a clear view of the situation.

The few with the strongest auras were clearly the so-called "Guardians."

The so-called Guardians were the strongest NPCs in the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

The "Great Tomb of Nazarick" was originally a wilderness dungeon. After the heteromorphic guild "Ainz Ooal Gown" occupied it, they transformed this six-layered dungeon into a ten-layered comprehensive fortress with different characteristics: Underground 1st-3rd Floors - Tomb; Underground 4th Floor - Underground Lake; Underground 5th Floor - Glacier; Underground 6th Floor - Jungle; Underground 7th Floor - Lava; Underground 8th Floor - Wilderness; Underground 9th Floor - Royal Suite; Underground 10th Floor - Throne Room.

Nazarick had a rigorous organizational structure. The highest level was the "Ainz Ooal Gown" guild members, called the "Supreme Beings."

Below that were the NPCs created by the guild members. The NPCs had equal status among themselves, but there were superior and subordinate relationships due to different positions.

Further down were the monsters that automatically refreshed in the base and the servants summoned by consuming gold coins through YGGDRASIL's mercenary system. The servants' status depended on their strength or the position they were assigned.

And the Guardians were the best of these NPCs.

The Guardians in the Great Tomb of Nazarick were divided into two types.

One type was the Floor Guardians in charge of one or several floors.

The other type was the Area Guardians in charge of some areas of each floor.

The Area Guardians were managed by the Floor Guardians and were responsible for guarding specific areas. Therefore, in Nazarick, the term Guardian usually referred to the Floor Guardians.

Each of them was a level 100 character from "YGGDRASIL", some even stronger than the players, including the original protagonist who was the ruler of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

In other words, Roa was currently surrounded by such a group of guys.

Roa's expression still did not change in any way. If the other party thought they could eat him up like this, they were too naive.

Ainz was also hesitant, not daring to make any move at all.

Taking action would mean completely tearing the relationship with the other party. Doing so would be like making an enemy of a powerful force out of nowhere, which was completely not worth it.

Moreover, judging from the other party's appearance, they obviously had more up their sleeve. Ainz had always prioritized caution when dealing with unknown enemies.

Roa didn't beat around the bush either, looking directly at the two above. Roa directly said, "Lord says, the extraplanar demons possess powers and knowledge that do not exist in this world. His original plan was to kill you if you were too weak and take all your things. But now it seems, we need to sit down and talk."

Ainz reached out his right hand, subconsciously reaching for his chin, but realized that he was currently wrapped in a helmet.

Ainz's eyes flickered, starting to think quickly. Demiurge next to him wanted to speak, but was directly interrupted by Ainz waving his hand. Ainz said in a deep voice, "What do you want to trade for?"

Roa's face showed a very unpleasant expression, looking at these guys as if he were looking at trash.

This scene deeply stung Demiurge. He said fiercely, "If you look at our Supreme Beings with such a despicable gaze again, I will gouge out your eyes!"

To this, Roa chuckled: "Invaders, how dare you say that."

Ainz waved his hand again, his voice calm and steady: "Stand down, Demiurge!"

"But, Lord!"

"Stand down, Demiurge. You've been saying too much today. Also, call me the Dark Knight."

Demiurge's mouth twitched, eventually turning into a helpless sigh, looking deeply in the direction of Roa.

The disgusted expression on Roa's face faded, and the hand holding the staff raised slightly, and in the next moment, Roa began to float in the air.

This was his own unique [Flight] skill.

It was much inferior to Ainz's skill, because the principle of flight he used was only to counteract his own gravity through updrafts to achieve the purpose of hovering in the air.

It couldn't compare to Bone Daddy's [Flight].

His was completely negating gravity.

Roa brought his line of sight level with the two, and the youth began to pace: "I need your knowledge. Although you are extraplanar demons, you possess magic that does not exist in this world. I need them, and for that, we can trade with you."

Saying this, Roa paused and continued: "As for the things to trade, we can offer the magic, weapons, money, and... intelligence of this world, the intelligence you need most."

Ainz's eyes darkened. To be honest, many of the things Roa said were what he needed right now.

Ainz was a cautious person, even overly cautious to a certain extent.

When he came to this world, the first thing he did was not to explore the surrounding area, but to hide his Great Tomb of Nazarick.

He knew too little about this world, so for safety's sake, Ainz wanted to avoid making enemies as much as possible and avoid conflicts with others.

Even though he possessed a considerable force, even though he was a level 100 player and had all the NPCs in the Great Tomb of Nazarick to command, he still wasn't impulsive.

And in fact, Roa caught him off guard.

He was already careful enough, casting magic as soon as he came out to hide the Great Tomb of Nazarick, but he was still discovered. And the other party blurted out his identity, that extraplanar demon was an unprecedented name, but it didn't sound like a good thing.

Moreover, the other party dared to break into his territory alone, and could talk boastfully in front of him and all the Guardians. What did that mean?

It meant that the other party's strength must be extraordinary. The other party's level could very likely have reached level 100 to be able to do this.

No, level 100 wouldn't be enough, so it was level 200.

If the upper limit of this world wasn't level 200, then level 300 or 400 was possible.

Moreover, the other party also possessed information he didn't know, those high-tier magic.

If the other party could use super-tier magic, then the situation would be even worse.

Ainz, who possessed several super-tier magic, deeply knew the power of super-tier magic. One super-tier magic could completely sway the situation on the field, and if the other party possessed unknown super-tier magic, the situation would become quite bad.

And more importantly, if his so-called Lord was staring at his group right now, then the consequences would be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, Ainz's eyes narrowed. He secretly hid his right hand in the shadows. In the next moment, several items instantly appeared on his right hand.

These items were not combat items. They were all items used to teleport and eliminate space traces.

These were all high-quality escape teleport items that the system gave him when he was paying money.

As a heavy-spending player, he had no shortage of this type of item.

That's right, Ainz was already backing down.

Being cautious by nature, he would never engage in inexplicable battles without figuring out the other party's background.

He wanted to nip all risks in the bud. Now that he was exposed, he would quickly leave.
