Chapter 149 – Third Island, Reid Island
I had a feeling of déjà vu because it reminded me of Myeongdong, which I saw last time. Not only did I feel déjà vu, it was also unpleasant.
It felt like I had fallen into a corner of a destroyed world.
‘Besides, what is this? It’s a modern city, not only in our country
Strange characters
There are many signs with.’
Could this be the Earth of a parallel world?
It seemed like a modern city with many things mixed together.
But there was nothing as normal as being on a destroyed Earth.
In particular, the sky was very red.
Since the weather and climate were different for each island, it was difficult to understand what that meant.
“The weather is really nice. “It’s a very bloody scene.”
I clicked my tongue and looked around.
It overlaps with the Myeong-dong I saw last time, but it wasn’t as desperate.
At least there are no strange tentacles, liquid or corpses. Moreover, there was no sign of a monster.
It was like a ghost town, like an empty set, with nothing in it from the beginning.
I stroked Lin’s head. When Rin purred, he gave instructions.
“Just in case… Lin, you are on the second island.”
“Kihee hee!”
Rin refuses right away. But she persuaded her.
“Are you going to remain loyal? I’ll call you if I need to, by all means. “Don’t worry.”
“Hee!”
Rin reluctantly looks at me and leaves. As always, he ran with his black, shiny body shining.
I’ll have to take a look here first.
Chin!
I flew around at dawn. As I flew a little higher, I looked to see if there was anything I needed to know.
“Hmm… Huh?”
I flew gradually increasing altitude and looked down.
It was exhilarating to fly through the clouds. As soon as I looked down, my mind went blank.
“Crazy… !”
I narrowed my eyes.
First, I saw a city densely packed with all kinds of infrastructure and buildings.
A tall wall seemed to surround the city like a shell.
The wall was surrounded by thick walls. As if trying to protect it from the outside.
And when I looked outside, I saw a long asphalt road.
Following this, I could faintly see another walled city. There were more than just two cities.
In the midst of the confusion, a friendly notification even appeared.
[City ‘
Ainz
’ Has arrived!]
[Would you like to use it as a base?]
What happens if you use it as a base? First, I looked around some more.
Then I took a deep breath.
Huge gashes were visible around the city walls. It’s like a meteorite fell.
“What is that… ?”
Does a meteor suddenly fall like a shower? Other than that, the barrier is fine. Honestly, the buildings look as if millions of years have passed, and the materials are old and have collapsed.
While I was wondering what the hell that was, the goddess materialized for a moment.
Tsutsu!
He stood next to me with a serious look on his face and frowned.
“This is not an environment I like very much.”
“You can go in without any hesitation.”
“Still, it’s just the two of us…”
“Please tickle my eardrums, hehe.”
“Hmph, he’s a lowly devil hero! But he’s also the man I love♥”
She disappears again with blushing cheeks.
〈I feel that there was an intense energy there.〉
‘Intense energy? Is it also a meteorite? Or something else?’
Could it be about Grant or the outsourced gods?
The goddess was unclean.
〈No, a dimension made of one-off energy… Hmm, looks like a gap.〉
Her mouth opened wide. Dimensional gap, cities facing apocalypse.
Only one came to mind. Just one.
‘Oh, the gate? Huh, then it looks like this is an island where the gate opens the moment you establish it as a base!’
〈gate?〉
‘A dimensional gap opens, and monsters pour out from there. Such a medium is called a gate.’
〈Ah, you know that. The Outer God Tribe also invaded that way! 〉
We moved on and had a conversation. I whistled.
As soon as I found out the truth, notifications started popping up again.
That’s very kind. This unknown world.
[This is an island made up of cities and undiscovered areas,
Reid Island.]
[At certain times
A gate appears
Do! Current
City as a base
Grades are based on!]
I laughed.
‘Now you can experience raids too, right? No, is it from defense? Wow, it’s amazing, it’s amazing.’
It felt like I had all kinds of experiences. The goddess smiled as she crossed her arms and felt the wind.
〈Do you think it’s dangerous? 〉
‘Wouldn’t it be worth a try? Let’s try it first. I wonder what level it is!’
He immediately pointed at Ainz and shouted.
“Set Ainz as a base!”
[City ‘
Ainz
’ Has been designated as a base!]
[Right now,
E-class gate
Appears! Good luck!]
Phew, pahaaaaang! Kugugoogung!
The ground began to shake violently. It looked dangerous, as if the ground would collapse at any moment.
Then, I saw energy slowly gathering from the huge hole. Is this the beginning?
“Would you like to see what level? Kkkk.”
I looked around.
As if surrounding the city, as many as ten gates appeared on all sides.
Kugugugwagagagang!
Gates that appear making quite a loud noise.
The size of the gate itself was not large, but a wave of intense energy was felt.
Honestly, it was surprising. I never thought I’d see something I’d only seen in novels in real life.
“No, crazy. No matter how low it is, ten gates? Are you kidding me?!”
This is going to be crazy. I sighed and went down.
‘I can’t help it.’
As soon as it reached the ground, it ran at the speed of light.
I ran with all my might and aimed for the nearest gate.
Kiheeeeek!
Monsters started pouring in. There were only E-class monsters such as gnolls, orcs, and goblins.
But there were many.
‘Can we roughly say that dozens of birds are poured into each gate?’
Certainly, at this level, it was not at a level that could be stopped by the E-D level hunters, based on the novel.
Because there were too many before the ratings. It’s not some kind of chinese’s tactic.
‘But all the gates are orange?’
It was unique because the gate was orange. Just when you have doubts.
[Caution! The orange gate is
Volatility
No see. It pours out monsters and disappears.]
[Caution! The blue gate is
Reflection composition
No see. You must find the core of the gate and destroy it to disappear.]
[The monsters break the barrier
Core of the base
Aiming for. If the core is destroyed, the base is lost forever!]
『Mission』
◆City defense
-Goal: Defend from the gate[0/10], Protect the city’s core
-Reward:
Ainz’s ownership, barrier level +1
‘It’s a friendly island. Thanks,
Raid Wagon
!’
It wasn’t until I left the mission that it finally felt real. I am the hunter!
I defeated all the monsters I could see. First, I focused on the nearby gates.
‘The barrier will have to hold up.’
These guys aren’t fools either, they must have appeared with a purpose.
I’m sure you know what to do. There will also be measures against barriers.
So, I had to kill them all before they crossed the wall and targeted the core of a city I didn’t even know about.
Squeak! Bah! Kagagak!
I excitedly wielded the dawn and slaughtered monsters. Points continued to accumulate little by little.
It stirred up the dawn like a dog butcher. The approaching monsters were pulverized with just the wind pressure I exerted with my sword.
Well, right now, my level of existence is at the transcendental level, and my level is 100.
“Who will stop me! Come, you bastards!”
When I shouted, the monsters screamed even louder and rushed at me.
Rather, it was good.
So we blocked the gates one by one. When I turned my head, the three furthest away remained.
“Those bastards, really?”
Monsters emerging from three gates were seen struggling.
It was seen that they were trying to break the barrier with Ohama or climb up.
I did use my brain, but didn’t I?
“How dare you?!”
There was no need to even run. I aimed the dawn at the monsters and struck with all my might.
I put some energy into the dawn.
Dawn’s sword body vibrated slightly, and a cluster of lights began to swirl.
“Dawn, Caliberooooo!”
Shuhuuut, shahaaaaak!
The monsters that were still there were all wiped outs by Dawn Caliber.
The moment when I thought it was over.
“Hehe, I got caught!”
“Hmm?”
I turned back.
One of the gnolls held a dagger covered in green liquid and stabbed me in the chest.
Is it a poisoned dagger?
“… “You’re the one caught.”
There was no way an attack like this would work on me. I spun around once and smashed the guy’s head with a backspin blow.
Wow! Kwazijic!
That’s how I solved all the mobs that escaped from the gate.
As I was trying to catch my breath, the entire wall, including the city, emitted a brilliant light. As if I had received a blessing.
[Congratulations! City ‘
Ainz
’!]
[Mission complete!]
[ Of the relevant sky island
Ownership
Obtain!]
The corners of my mouth naturally went up. With this, the third island is also part of it, but get it again!
But it looks like there are more things that will raise the corners of your mouth.
[You can advance through points, so right now
Nucleus
Please go and find out!]
“Nuclear?”
I tilted my head. Is it possible to develop a city?
I flew up at dawn. The barrier felt thicker than before.
If earlier it was just a shabby gray wall with scattered cracks, now it was like an ivory castle wall with all the cracks gone. It was cool.
“First of all, the first raid was successful.”
〈Hehe, this is my man♥〉
I was happy that the goddess liked it too. For no reason, she felt a strain on her shoulders, but she didn’t show it.
First, I flew over the city at dawn.
‘Where is the nucleus? Do you want to be in the exact center? Hmm.’
I turned on my eyes and looked to see if there were any unusual buildings. Isn’t it usually a place where development is done, such as a local office or city hall?
But my prediction was wrong.
While looking around the city, there was an unusual place that was softly shining in gold. As if he was asking me to look after him.
“Huh?”
I approached there. It was a fountain that no longer produced water.
The fountain itself was the core of the city.
It’s amazing. Usually, the core of a city is a large building or important sculpture. Is it fresh?
‘Ho-oh, a fountain that can’t even spit out water is nuclear? Let’s see…’
I approached to see if there was something. But something translucent appeared in the air. It wasn’t a notification.
“Uh? These features… ?”
My eyes widened.
