Chapter 389 Take the initiative
His immaculate body could ignore some of the opponent's magical effects, and his magic power was at the A+ level. If he wanted to compete with Roya in terms of mental strength and take Roya down in one go, it could only be said that the opponent was too naive.
Whether it's the enhancement brought by perfect dragon blood, the Fool (second stage), or some strange passive skills, these passive skills combined make Roya quite difficult to kill.
No, to some extent, he is unkillable. Moreover, in the state of boiling dragon blood, even if his head is severed or his heart is pierced with a large hole, these injuries cannot directly kill Roya.
In other words, it would be extremely difficult to actually kill Roya.
"Forget it, I won't think about it too much. Let's see if that guy Ainz has come to this world yet." Roya muttered to himself, having gathered some general information about this world, many thoughts began to form in his mind.
Taking out the map, Roya continued to analyze the current situation.
The most prominent features on the map are three human nations: the Kingdom of Ri Yestize, the Bahars Empire, and the Slane Theocracy.
These three human nations are located in different parts of the map. The Slane Theocracy is located in the south, the Ri-Estize Kingdom in the left, and the Bahars Empire in the right.
The relationship between the three countries was far from good; in fact, it was completely hostile, leading to annual battles in the plains near this fortified city.
That's just how war is. Even without Ainz Ooal Gown's intervention, the world wouldn't necessarily achieve peace, and the struggle between people would never cease.
The Kingdom of Riyestege and the Bahars Empire are separated by a massive mountain range. To the south of the mountain range lies a vast forest. This fortified city belonging to the Kingdom of Riyestege is located at the edge of the forest, and further down lies the Slane Theocracy.
In other words, the fortress city of Yelantil is not only the border of the Kingdom of Li Yestije, but also the closest kingdom city to the two neighboring countries.
What Roya was looking for was the border area between these three human nations.
Because when Old Bone transmigrated, he brought with him an entire force and his own guild's headquarters, arriving at the northwestern end of the continent, at the border of the Kingdom, the Empire, and the Theocracy.
When the protagonist in the original story arrived, the first thing he saw was that grassland. What Roya needed to do was to go there and block Old Bones, and then use the advantage of the information gap to fool Old Bones.
The specific method of deception is quite simple.
It's about creating an image of unfathomable depth, after all, their Lord Ainz Ooal Gown's favorite thing to do is to imagine things.
The first thing Ainz Ooal Gown did upon arriving in this world was to gather intelligence.
If Roya wants to learn magic, he must subdue the other party and then trick them into making a deal with him.
Roya possesses the Fool's Talent, has maxed-out elemental affinity, and has absorbed the power of chaos. As for magic, unless it's super-rank magic, he can steal it with just a glance.
Having figured all this out, Roya made a decision: he needed to hurry and see how far the plot had progressed.
Roya quickly took action. The starting points were actually quite close, as the fortress and the area where Old Bones was located were relatively close.
When Lao Gu transmigrated, he brought with him an entire force and his own guild's headquarters, arriving at the northwestern end of the continent, at the border of the Kingdom, the Empire, and the Theocracy.
That area wasn't far from here. After studying the map for a while, Luo Ya quickly came up with a target in mind.
There are some small villages around the grassland, and the name of one of the towns immediately caught Roya's eye.
"Kahn Village? Let's take a look."
If I'm not mistaken, Ainz's first invasion was against this town.
All Roya had to do was go there and meet Ainz Ooal Gown.
However, there are some minor inconveniences in getting there.
Beyond the fortress lies not a grassland, but a forest separating the two areas. This forest is marked with a large red line, indicating that it may harbor a considerable number of monsters.
This forest covers a vast area and is home to a large number of monsters.
In any world, forests harbor a great deal of danger.
After all, what kind of magical beasts might be lurking beneath the dense vegetation and intricate shade is an unknown quantity.
Moreover, in Roya's memory, there seemed to be a monster called the King of the Forest deep in the forest.
Yes, it's that hamster.
According to the map information, that monster not only uses magic and possesses astonishing strength, but it has also survived for hundreds of years. Even the highest-level adamantite adventurers cannot defeat it in the forest. This is why the guild map marks this area with a large red cross.
Of course, this kind of guy wouldn't even last a single round against Roya.
After thinking about it, Roya still didn't want to continue through the forest.
The reason is simple: there are too many insects. He doesn't want a leech to jump out or a worm to crawl on his face while he's walking, which would make Roya feel extremely disgusted.
If you don't enter the forest, there are only two routes left from this city fortress to the village of Kahn, which is located in the northeast.
One route is to head east first, then north to reach Kahn Village. The other route is to head north first, then, once you reach the edge of the forest, head east along the perimeter of the forest.
The first route completely bypasses the forest. Although it's a bit long, it's completely safe.
The second route also borders the forest. If you choose this route, you will inevitably encounter wild animals that have escaped from the forest. In other words, this route is not particularly safe.
It's much safer than walking directly in the forest, and there's nothing messy or dangerous there.
Roya chose the second route, and there were no unexpected events along the way. Even when he encountered a few magical beasts such as demonic wolves, Roya kicked them so hard that their necks were broken.
The journey went very smoothly, and in less than an hour, Roya arrived at the village of Kahn.
The village of Kahn was peaceful, showing no signs of having been invaded or massacred.
This means that the Knights of Favonius have not appeared here, and Ainz Ooal Gown has not yet made a move.
After wandering around Kahn Village for a while, Roya lost interest and became somewhat bored.
The town was peaceful and quiet, and the villagers were all beaming with happiness.
However, it is likely that after a while, this small town will be completely slaughtered.
And during this period, they won't be too far apart.
Thinking of this, Roya frowned slightly. To be honest, Roya naturally thought he was not a good person.
After all, with too much blood on his hands, he no longer deserves to be called a good person.
However, he also deeply abhorred slaughter, especially the slaughter of the weak and the slaughter of ordinary people.
After hesitating for a moment, Roya infused magic into the ground, and the jet-black threads rolled and disappeared above the surface.
These black threads are like his senses. As long as there is any movement here, Roya can detect it, and then use this magic to take care of all those guys.
These knights were all very weak and no match for Roya. Leaving behind this magic power would be enough to easily defeat them.
Of course, this is just a backup plan. After I finish dealing with the rest of the matters, I will definitely go back and take a look.
Right now, the important thing is still that Ainz Ooal Gown guy.
What he needs to do now is to give the other party a warning, to make them unsure of the true nature of this world, so that they will be hesitant to act rashly.
————————————————————————————
Another place.
Having finished dealing with the Great Tomb of Nazarick, Ainz Ooal Gown was gazing at the distant sky with a look of rapture.
"It really is another world."
This person was wearing a suit of armor that looked extremely expensive and impressive, gleaming with a deep metallic sheen under the light. However, if one were to see their true appearance, they would surely be quite startled.
Because what you see is not a human head, but a skull.
