Crossover Anime: Starting from Jobless Reincarnation

And there was more than one of these bizarre creatures. There was one hanging in a corner, one suspended from the ceiling, and even one hanging from a tree outside. Their bodies were transparent. Not only that, they concealed all their presence. Judging from their level of concealment, not to mention ordinary people, even the highest-level steel-grade adventurers would have difficulty detecting their existence.

Luo Ya's eyes narrowed slightly, his pale golden pupils standing out starkly in the dim light.

Luo Ya picked up the dinner knife from the table and said with a hint of helplessness, "Honestly, I don't have the habit of being watched while I'm sleeping."

The next moment, an invisible domain opened up, and everything in the room came to a standstill.

Roya slowly walked up to the spider closest to him and touched its appearance. Undoubtedly, observing arthropod-like creatures closely would make Roya feel physically uncomfortable.

"Eight-limbed Assassin Bug?" Luo Ya called out the other party's identity, and then plunged the kitchen knife in his hand directly into the other party's neck, severing all eight of its legs. The Eight-limbed Assassin Bug remained motionless, unable to move even with its legs severed and a hole in its neck.

After doing all this, Luo Ya walked back to the eight-limbed knife assassin insect hanging from the ceiling. With a casual wave of his knife, the sound of wind being cut rang out, and the silver-white knife instantly pierced through the body of the eight-limbed knife assassin insect.

The original knife could not possibly achieve this level of sharpness, but the moment Roya held it in his hand, it was given a buff of sharpness and durability, making it more than enough to deal with these monsters.

The Octopod Assassin Bug is a monster that excels at stealth and can become invisible, making it a true assassination expert. This monster is terrifying in both its stealth and aggression. Its eight legs are covered with sharp blades, allowing it to launch eight extremely threatening attacks.

These eight attacks were triggered simultaneously; if any one of them could not be blocked, the neck and limbs would be severed instantly.

These monsters seem to have been created specifically for assassination. With their powerful stealth abilities and the ability to kill with a single blow, no human in this world could withstand such a terrifying attack. Even heroes would be killed instantly.

Unfortunately, they encountered Roya.

As time slowly returned to normal, the eight-limbed assassin insect that had been in the corner suddenly let out a shrill wail. Blood gushed from its neck, and only half of its body remained, limply hanging to the ground. The eight-limbed assassin insect hanging from the ceiling also collapsed to the ground with a thud, unable to rise again.

Roya looked out the window at the eight-legged assassin insect and said, "Won't you come in and sit down?"

The eight-legged assassin insect outside the window had never seen such a scene before. In its eyes, the human in front of it was just walking into the room. However, the moment the other party closed the door, its two companions died tragically at the same time. It had no idea how the other party had done all this.

Their orders were not to assassinate Roya, but simply to come and monitor him. This behavior could also be seen as a test; if Roya noticed, they would retreat immediately.

Without any hesitation, it shouted, "We've been exposed! Retreat!"

A sharp cry echoed through the silent night, and it suddenly transformed into a black shadow, shooting outwards.

It wasn't the only one fleeing; three black figures appeared almost instantly, one after the other, and fled in different directions.

To this, Luo Ya simply smiled and said, "That won't do. Now that you're here, don't leave."

The next moment, four dazzling blade lights flashed by. Before Luo Ya could make any move, the small dinner knife instantly pierced through the four eight-legged assassin insects. Their retreating figures staggered and then fell to the ground, unable to utter a single word.

Setsuna was a true master of close combat and a born assassin.

No one can easily escape from the user of the instantaneous technique; the moment Roya discovers them, their fate is sealed.

The movement was rather loud, and the noise quickly alerted the inn's servants. The servants hurriedly ran over, only to find a hideous and terrifying spider corpse lying on the ground when they opened the door. The people working at this inn were all ordinary people, and they had never seen such a scene before. Their faces paled instantly, and they staggered back a few steps.

However, he soon spotted Roya. He used his illumination spell to see Roya's face clearly. The young man had a relaxed and casual expression and was not injured at all.

Chapter 405 All forces

The servant finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and his expression relaxed.

"It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright," the servant said, but his expression turned serious again as he looked at the corpse lying on the ground beside him.

"Whatever the reason this monster appeared in our inn, we will take full responsibility. For the next three months, no, no, for a year, our inn will cover all expenses. Not only that, we will also compensate you with a large amount of gold coins. We hope you can forgive us for what we did," the attendant said to Roya sincerely.

Luo Ya clicked his tongue slightly. To be honest, this inn was quite expensive, and being able to use it for free could indeed save a considerable amount of gold coins.

However, he also understood why the hotel had made such a big concession; the reason was quite simple.

As the largest hotel in the city, the Golden Pavilion naturally has its own signature features.

The people who live here are not only adventurers, but also a large number of wealthy and noble people.

The hotel is largely to blame for the monster that infiltrated the customer's room. If they don't compensate Roya and resolve the matter, things will become quite complicated later. Therefore, the hotel should show the appropriate attitude and provide compensation.

Moreover, the young man in front of him was a Mithril-level adventurer who had recently been promoted, and he also had the idea of ​​currying favor with him and making this matter a small matter.

Roya saw through the servant's thoughts but didn't expose him. He nodded slightly and said, "Alright then, let's just leave it at that. Actually, these monsters aren't targeting you, so don't feel too much pressure."

The attendant smiled and said, "Compensation is necessary, given the seriousness of the matter. Please do not refuse."

Afterwards, the attendant asked some more questions, to which Roya gave only perfunctory answers, saying that upon entering the room, he discovered these strangely shaped monsters lurking in the shadows, and after discovering them, he killed them one by one.

As for what type of monster it was, who might have sent it, and why it was causing trouble for Roya, Roya was deeply puzzled.

There was no way I could be doubtful; these were all just for show for the servants.

The servant, having received no further answers, could only sigh. Knowing he could not obtain any more clues from Roya, he shook his head, moved Roya to another room, personally checked it over, and then leisurely left.

The room was still the same familiar one, with no major differences. A lamp lit by a perpetual light was hanging on the wall cabinet. Luo Ya was not asleep, but stood by the window, staring blankly into the distance.

Needless to say, these eight-limbed assassin insects were sent by Ainz. As for their purpose, it was most likely just surveillance, or perhaps more of a test.

The eight-limbed assassination insects were merely a signal to test whether Roya had discovered their methods. If they hadn't found these insects hiding in the shadows, the other side might have taken other countermeasures.

This time it was surveillance, but if Roya doesn't discover it this time, then next time it won't be just simple surveillance.

Of course, it didn't matter if Roya found out. They weren't allies to begin with, and to some extent, they could become enemies at any time. So, this little test was nothing.

A smile played on Luo Ya's lips. Moonlight streamed through the window, making the hazy moonlight even more indistinct. Luo Ya's gaze seemed to pierce through the thick darkness, and he saw a figure in the distance.

"Don't be so reckless next time."

Luo Ya murmured softly.

----------------------

In the distance, above the valley, a burly warrior clad in black armor, completely covering his body, gazed expressionlessly down from above. Beside the warrior stood a slender and exceptionally beautiful woman, but her face was frosty, exuding an aura that kept people at a distance.

Of course, whenever the burly warrior spoke or asked about something else, the woman would show either a respectful or humble expression.

The black warrior is Ainz, and the woman is Narberal.

The two of them weren't standing there in a daze, nor were they admiring the moonlight.

The black warrior pressed a finger to his temple, as if he were resting with his eyes closed, while Narberal stood quietly beside Ainz, without saying a word.

After waiting for a moment, Ainz suddenly spoke up: "The eight-limbed assassin bugs we sent to monitor them are all dead."

Ainz spoke these words with absolutely no fluctuation in his tone.

"Are they all dead?" Naberal frowned her beautiful brows, lowered her voice, and said, "Was it that person who did it?"

“That’s right.” Ainz said with certainty, “Until the moment of his death, the Octopod Assassination Insects did not sever the [message] connection, and I was able to share their perspective for a short time.”

At this point, Ainz said with some surprise, "They were discovered instantly. In the instant they were discovered, two of the eight-legged assassin bugs were killed. As for the remaining three, they were all killed in the next instant as well."

Naberal's expression turned serious. She wasn't surprised that Roja was able to kill the Eight-Limbed Blade Assassin Insects, but from what Ainz said, it seemed that Roja killed all of the Eight-Limbed Blade Assassin Insects the moment he sensed them.

This is a bit scary.

Having come to a profound understanding of the weakness of humanity in this world, he felt that no one should be able to eliminate five level 49 octopus assassination insects in such a short time.

Especially after Ainz consolidated the information about this world, he became even more suspicious.

"Could that bug be a player?" Narberal voiced Ainz's thoughts.

Ainz remained silent, also caught in his own doubts.

Ainz could not possibly imagine that Roya's one-sided account could so quickly and decisively pinpoint their location, and that he was so certain they knew nothing, using this as leverage to obtain a large number of skills from them. Besides being a hidden force in this world, there was another possibility for Roya's identity: he was a player.

Of course, if Roja were a player, some questions would still remain unanswered.

For example, why did Roja do this, and what was the significance of doing so?

For example, if Roa Grellatt were a player, what stance would he be taking now?

Ainz began to pace, the skull beneath his helmet appearing extremely heavy.

"He came knocking on our door not long after we appeared in this world. Was that premeditated? What is he up to? Those skills aren't worth much to players. Damn it, if he's a player, Roya Greirat, I don't even have a memory of him."

Ainz muttered to himself, and as he spoke, even he felt a headache coming on; things were becoming more complicated.

It's understandable that you'd feel overwhelmed if you had too little information about the other side.

If you want to obtain more information about the other side

Ainz pondered, "It seems I need to find an opportunity to approach him first."

Upon hearing this, Narberal immediately asked, "Should we send the Guardians out?"

Ainz fell into deep thought, the skull beneath his heavy helmet gleaming with a scarlet light.

After thinking for a moment, Ainz dismissed the idea. He said helplessly, "No, the Guardians are the strongest defensive force in Nazarick. Before we confirm that Roya will harm Nazarick, we should not let him rashly contact the Guardians, lest something unexpected happens."

At this point, Ainz added, "And it would be very unwise to lay our cards on the table now."

Naberal gritted her teeth, somewhat unwillingly asking, "What about the eight-limbed assassin insects that were killed?"

Roya didn't speak; the two crimson dots in the skull's eye sockets flashed repeatedly.

In fact, the Great Tomb of Nazarick, the headquarters of the game guild Ainz Ooal Gown, is inhabited by NPCs, except for the forty-one Supreme Beings.

However, due to the transmigration, only Ainz Ooal Gown came to this world. This means that currently, in Nazarick, apart from Ainz, the rest are not players, but merely servants who have gained life. And within Nazarick, servants are also differentiated.

As mentioned before, the game "YGGDRASIL" has a high degree of freedom, which is reflected not only in professions, magic, races and various weapons and items, but also in other aspects.

For example, when a player guild owns a base that is higher tier than a castle, the players in that guild can obtain several special privileges.

One of these is the ability to have NPCs to protect your base.

NPCs are divided into two types.
