Crossover Anime: Starting from Jobless Reincarnation

Forget it, what could such a minor character possibly know?

Roya raised the broken sword in his right hand. This long sword, which had been created, ultimately could not withstand the infusion of magic. The front half of the blade was still shattered, leaving only half a broken sword.

However, even this half-broken sword, if it were to get out, would still cause quite a stir.

Without any hesitation, the broken blade fell instantly, piercing through Kajit's body. Dark purple blood splattered all over the ground. Roya subtly stepped back, avoiding getting the blood on himself.

Chapter 410 Shalltear

Thus, the mission was accomplished, and Clementine and Cajit were both killed.

Roya surveyed the surrounding cemetery. Although he had unleashed a powerful attack earlier, Roya had been paying special attention to this cemetery.

In this world, if people who die are not properly cared for, they may become undead.

While these undead don't pose much of a threat to adventurers, they are a considerable challenge to villagers and townspeople. To prevent these undead from wreaking havoc on the town, people choose to build a cemetery like this to gather together the corpses of those who died in battle or for some inexplicable reason.

The Adventurers' Guild sends priests to the graveyard periodically to cast spells and prevent the birth of the undead.

It can be said that this tomb is quite important, and it's best to avoid damaging it if possible. This is why Roya didn't unleash any large-scale magical skills.

"But it seems that this place has suffered some damage." Roya stroked his chin and looked around. Many tombstones were damaged, some were completely shattered, and some were half broken, showing a complete cut.

Roya shrugged. Let the adventurers worry about that. His mission was complete, and it was time to go back.

Roya took a step and walked away into the distance, but after only two steps, he suddenly turned back and looked at the corpse of Kajit lying on the ground.

To be precise, it was looking at the gem in Kajit's right hand.

"Oh, I almost forgot, if you don't deal with it, it'll be a menace too."

The boy muttered to himself, as if speaking to himself, or perhaps to the precious jewel. Roya returned to Kajit's side and bent down to hold the jewel in his hand.

The Orb of Death is a unique intelligent artifact that does not exist in "YGGDRASIL," possessing self-awareness and language abilities.

In other words, this item is intelligent. If the holder is an ordinary human, it will have the power to control and manipulate the other person, turning them into a puppet to spread death.

Only those who can resist mental manipulation abilities, or those of demi-human or alien races, are immune to the power. Even so, they are still affected by their subconscious. For example, part of the reason why Kajit became so insane is due to this bead.

Although the item itself doesn't have any overpowered attributes, if it continues to be left behind, something similar might happen again in the future.

Although Roya wasn't exactly a pushover, he decided to deal with the bead in front of him, adhering to the principle of seeing things through to the end.

"So, goodbye."

The Death Orb was held in Roya's hand, yet it remained completely still, just like a normal bead, seemingly ordinary and harmless.

"High-level item destruction."

The moment Roya uttered those words, the bead seemed to sense some danger and began to struggle violently. However, how could the power of the Death Bead possibly overcome Roya, who possessed dragon blood? The Death Bead flashed for a moment, and then shattered suddenly like a glass ball.

After doing all this, Roya had no more lingering feelings and began to fly away into the distance.

This grave isn't unattended; given the commotion, someone will likely come to check on it soon.

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

On the edge of the northern forest of Ye-Lantir, very close to the boundary line of the forest interior.

In the pitch-black night, a petite and frail young girl stood.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an exceptionally cute girl with a loli-like face. She appeared to be around fourteen years old, not very tall, and gave off a slightly childish vibe.

She was wearing a black evening gown that looked very soft, with a large flare at the bottom, giving it a substantial feel.

Her upper body was covered by a short cardigan adorned with lace and ribbons, and because she wore long lace gloves, almost no skin was exposed.

Her face could only be described as that of an absolute beauty; her skin was as white as wax. Her long silver hair was tied up on one side and hung down without covering her face, making her a quintessential Lolita girl.

If we were to use the words of those otaku from our past lives, then silver hair and red eyes would be our craftsmen's favorite.

At this moment, the girl's deep red eyes were radiating a bewitching, joyful gaze.

The ground she was standing on was now an eerie red.

This glaring scarlet blood, emitting a faint fishy smell, is undoubtedly human blood, still slightly warm.

Strangely, the blood did not fall to the ground or stain the surroundings. Instead, as if it had its own consciousness, it transformed into streams of scarlet water and flowed into the blood sphere at the top.

And the owner of this blood orb is naturally the beautiful girl in front of us.

She is Shalltear Bradfordren.

They are currently carrying out a so-called 'secret mission'.

Having just slaughtered a group of bandits, she was currently in a state of excitement, with hundreds or even thousands of corpses lying on the ground.

The corpses died in extremely gruesome ways, some were mutilated and limbs severed, and others had been drained of blood, becoming mummies. These corpses, with their different deaths, all shared a common feature: fear. Intense fear distorted their features, making them look incredibly ferocious even in death, and exceptionally terrifying.

This is enough to show the kind of cruel torture they suffered before they died.

In response, the beautiful and lovely girl in front of him blushed abnormally. She was still holding the severed arm of a bandit in her right hand, and her eyes looked as if she had obtained a toy.

However, Shalltear, who was looking excited, froze for a moment.

"Oh?"

A slightly confused voice rang out softly, echoing in the inexplicably silent forest.

“What was that just now…?”

The girl tossed aside a severed arm she had been holding for who knows how, looked in one direction, and stared into thought.

That direction was precisely the direction from which Roya swung his demonic sword.

In this situation, a voice rang out beside the girl.

"What happened, Shalltear?"

The person who spoke was an elderly man dressed in a traditional butler's uniform.

The old man had a head of white hair and a full beard, which was also white. His face was covered with deep wrinkles, giving him the appearance of being very old.

Chapter 411 Chaos

Besides the old man, there was also a blonde, blue-eyed girl standing in the room. This girl was also dressed in very luxurious clothes and looked like a beautiful princess. However, at this moment, her expression revealed a humble look. She was very respectful to the two people in front of her. She looked more like an extremely beautiful maid than a princess.

"Oh, you've come here, Sebastian." Shalltear seemed a little surprised to see the middle-aged butler here, but she still gave Sebastian a dignified smile.

"Sorry, we went a little too far. These thieves have a lot of trouble escaping. It seems we wasted quite a bit of time here."

Shalltear spoke in an elegant tone, though she always had a strange habit of ending her sentences with a certain quirk.

Sebastian was already used to this. The old butler stood straight, his back straight, his face as stern as if carved by a knife. He stood upright and meticulous.

He simply shook his head at Shalltear's explanation, saying, "That's not the reason. What happened just now? I sensed a very powerful magical fluctuation not far away."

The distance between the cemetery and here is not particularly far. The magical fluctuations caused by the magic sword that Roya just cast have clearly been detected by these two.

“Hmm, it seems something has indeed happened.” Shalltear said with some uncertainty, “Should we go and take a look? With this level of magical fluctuation, the other party must be a powerful human. If we can capture him, we will have completed our mission.”

"Do you need my help?" Sebastian asked.

Shalltear waved her hand, her eerie red eyes gleaming, and a look of rapture returned to the girl's face. She refused directly, saying, "Let me play with him for a while first. Sebastian, you have your own things to do. I can handle things here by myself."

Sebastian nodded, not too surprised by the answer. It was perfectly reasonable for a warmonger like Shalltear to make such a choice.

After all, Shalltear quite enjoys the thrill of killing, the feeling of blood splattering everywhere and bathing her in it.

“In that case, I won’t disturb you any longer.” Sebastian bowed perfectly to Shalltear and said, “We will now step down and go to carry out the other tasks assigned by Lord Ainz.”

But when this was mentioned, Shalltear countered with a question: "Are there any problems on your end? It seems like quite a few things that weren't originally planned have happened tonight."

Indeed, if Ainz's plan were to proceed as intended, the likely course of action would be to search for humans in the vicinity of Ye Rantil who would not attract much attention even if they disappeared, capture those among them who knew how to use magic or martial arts, and send them back to Nazarick.

In order to fulfill their master's insistence on "not attracting too much attention," the Guardians devised a series of actions that were far too cumbersome and troublesome for beings of their stature.

First, Solusham Epsilon, a combat maid under Sebastian's command, pretends to be a spoiled young lady from a wealthy family. Together with Sebastian Tian, ​​who is also in disguise but is actually the butler, they check into the Golden Pavilion, the most luxurious inn in Ye Lantier. There, they do some eye-catching things to attract the attention of thieves who have their eyes on the wealthy family.

Once they've confirmed that their prey has taken the bait, Sebastian and Solius will lure them outside Ye Lantier and hand them over to Shalltear and her two vampire brides for disposal.

The person carrying out this mission is Shalltear; Sebastian and Solius will only assist her before leaving to gather necessary intelligence for their master elsewhere. This is the mission they are currently undertaking, but it seems that some unexpected events have occurred.

However, Sebastian was quite confident about this. The old butler said meticulously, "Don't worry, there won't be any problems on my end. As long as there are no problems on your end, even if there are some slight deviations, it won't be a big deal."

Upon hearing this, Shalltear's face relaxed, and she smiled, revealing two small fangs, saying, "That's true. In that case, I wish you a safe journey."

Upon hearing this, Sebastian's aged and stern face revealed a subtle smile. He looked at Shalltear and said, "You too, Shalltear. We're both carrying out Lord Ainz's orders, so let's work hard together."

“That’s natural, for Nazarick, for the Supreme Being.” Shalltear smiled, and Sebastian agreed, repeating it once more.

"Indeed, for Nazarick, for the Supreme Being. Alright, I'll be going now. The rest is up to you."

After saying that, Sebastian, accompanied by his maid, drove the carriage away into the distance.

Soon only Shalltear remained.

The bright moon hung high in the sky. Shalltear licked her lips and looked again toward the distance where Roa was.

"What should we do next?"
