Dragon of the Root

Chapter 65: Dealing with Unfinished Business

Wu Ming sat in the office chair and saw Demiurge standing in front of the desk.

"I know, Demiurge can understand my thoughts from my words, and I am very satisfied with your assistance to your comrades, so you don't have to blame yourself."

"Thank you for your generosity, Master Wu Ming." Demiurge bowed.

"So, how is Cocytus progressing?" Wu Ming asked.

"Cocytus just finished his first attack. There is no doubt that he was utterly defeated."

"Well~ I think so, after all, the soldiers I gave Cocytus were undead soldiers produced automatically by Nazarick. He couldn't win, but I was surprised by the combat power of the lizardmen."

Wu Ming continued.

"Demiurge, tell Cocytus that I want to see him fight the lizardman, and allow him to enter the battlefield, but only alone."

"Yes, Master Wu Ming."

Demiurge started contacting Cocytus with <Message>.

In his spare time, Wu Ming stretched out his hand and took out Ainz Ooal Gown wand from golden ripples.

"<Mirror of Remote Viewing>"

It's a magic that can see into distant sights, and it's also a special intelligence magic that can penetrate some counter-intelligence magic.

"Master Wu Ming, I have already informed Cocytus."

"Un, sit and watch together."

"Yes."

....

Soon, Cocytus won. After all, these lizardmen didn't even reach level 50, how could they win the Cocytus level 100 warrior job.

"I will see him on the spot, are you coming, Demiurge?"

"Yes, Master Wu Ming."

"<Gate>"

The black-red rippling door opened, then Wu Ming and Demiurge entered.

Wu Ming came to Cocytus place and saw the large number of lizardmen corpses on the scene, Wu Ming exclaimed.

"Really a wise choice."

After all, when you know that the opponent wants to conquer your own race, you don't need to send all the combatants, because after they are all killed, it can be a disaster for this race.

"Master Wu Ming." Cocytus saw Wu Ming coming, and bowed on one knee in salute.

"Good job, Cocytus."

"Thank you for your compliment, Master Wu Ming."

"Since the lizardmen have been subjugated, we should return."

After all, Wu Ming wanted to leave.

"Master Wu Ming, I have a request."

Wu Ming glanced at Cocytus who was kneeling and bowed in respect.

"In any case, I will agree with you no big deal."

"Thank you Master Wu Ming, I would like to ask you to resurrect some lizardmen."

"Oh~ may I know why?"

"Since they are all fighters with great strength, I think they can serve Nazarick..."

"Don't you think this reasoning is far-fetched, Cocytus?"

After speaking, Wu Ming looked not at Cocytus, who had his head lowered, but at Demiurge who was at the side.

Wu Ming meaning was simple, Did Demiurge ask Cocytus to ask Wu Ming for help?

Demiurge immediately understood the meaning, but shook his head slightly.

Wu Ming understood, he stretched out his hand to the golden ripples, took out a short ivory colored staff encrusted with gems, and threw it at Cocytus.

"This resurrection wand is here for you, Cocytus. Even if it's been used several times, it's fine to resurrect these lizardmen."

"Thank you, Master Wu Ming!"

Then, as a thank you to Cocytus, Wu Ming returned to Nazarick, Demiurge did not follow him, still helping Cocytus use the resurrection wand, as a Sword Saint job, Cocytus could not use wand type items.

...

Sitting on the office chair, Wu Ming looked up at the ceiling.

"With this, Nazarick business is almost done."

The magic "Message" came from his ear, and Wu Ming put his hand on his ear.

"What is it."

"Master Wu Ming, two humans have entered the Spirit Palace of Nazarick."

...

The surface of Nazarick, the spirit palace.

Since Mare had created an illusion magic circle, it made sense that no one would break into Nazarick.

But

"I was right, little Khajiit~, I said it here, but you don't believe it." The speaker was a woman with a smile on her face who was wearing a black robe, blonde hair and short neck hair.

"Hah! Again warn you not to call me that! It's normal to be weird here. After all, such a huge tomb was wrapped in some unknown illusion magic. If you don't step into the hero realm, even if you saw it before, it's impossible to remember the location of this place at all."

The other was a middle-aged man with gray skin like a corpse, wearing a black-red mage robe, holding a scepter and a gray-black orb. There was not a single hair on his head, be it beard, eyebrows, or hair.

"I see, then Khajiit, are we worthy of what happened to the Slane Theocracy. I don't know if the Slane Theocracy provoked those dragon kings."

"Not only was the capital main church destroyed, but even members of the "Six Scripture" were killed and injured. Terrible, I really hope they all die, so they won't come after me again."

"Okay, let's hurry, Clementine, the <Orb of Death> told me that there is an enormous death energy beneath this tomb. As long as I can get this energy, I can complete my ritual."

The man named Khajiit started to march towards the entrance of the spirit hall.

"Stop, you two."

The voice of a young man came from the entrance of the spirit hall. Khajiit and Clementine expressions changed. Clementine even took out her weapons which were two short spikes.

After all, this place is very mysterious, it is always right to be careful.

Wu Ming slowly walked out of the shadows and looked at Khajiit and Clementine.

"The two of you were able to enter only because I let the barrier open the hole. After all, there are people who think to come all day, it's better to invite them early."

Wu Ming folded his arms across his chest, looking at the two of them happily.

"Hmph, was that the conversation just now, Clementine, ready to back off." Khajiit face became ugly.

"You don't have to say I'll do it too, this man is terrible, he gives off a terrible aura," whispered Clementine.

"I advise the two of you not to move. If you're not careful, the heads of both of you will be cut off."

After that, several insect shadows appeared beside Khajiit and Clementine. It was a Level 85 monster called the Eight-Edge Assassin who was in charge of Wu Ming safety in Nazarick.

At this moment, the foreleg blades of the Eight-Edge Assassin were placed on Khajiit and Clementine necks at a dead angle.

"What, when!"

After that, Wu Ming said to the side.

"Shadow Demons, capture them."

As the voice resounded, Wu Ming shadow flashed, and a shadow rushed towards Khajiit and Clementine. In an instant, the shadow covered the two of them.

Wu Ming left without looking.

After all, Demiurge would take care of it.

"It is almost time to leave Nazarick and go to another world. Alright, let's go tomorrow morning."

With this in mind, Wu Ming left the surface of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

Then, Demiurge appeared where Wu Ming had been standing earlier.

Demiurge pushed up his glasses.

"Send them to the <Room of Truth> on the fifth floor of the <Frozen Prison>, and let the Neuronist cheer them on."

After speaking, he also left like Wu Ming.

In an instant, the Eight-Edge Assassin Insects and Shadow Demons swiftly disappeared, leaving only the spirit hall empty.
