Chapter 12: The Great Tomb of Nazarick

 Chapter 12: The Great Tomb of Nazarick

In the valley.

With the heroic sacrifice of the King of Bicorns, the magic circle began to flicker with a blood-red light. The layers of the base magic array unfolded, and brilliant magical imprints appeared in the sky, forming magnificent patterns.

"It's finally coming."

Watching this scene, Lucas clenched his fists in excitement. susu, beside him, had her big, sparkling eyes wide open, full of anticipation. Only Albedo, with a blissful expression, was caressing the crystal ring on her ring finger, indifferent to the sacrifice of her mount.

"Boom!"

A loud noise erupted, and a powerful and terrifying aura burst forth from the magic circle. The valley shook violently, and rocks flew everywhere. The violent airflow made the hems of the trio's clothes flap wildly. The commotion lasted for a full quarter of an hour. When the light dissipated, a massive tomb entrance appeared in the center of the valley. The entrance was surrounded by stone pillars arranged in a circle, guarding it at the center. The pillars were intricately carved with complex patterns, giving an ancient and elegant appearance.

Ding! Guild territory activated, guild module opened!

Please name the guild.

A virtual light screen automatically appeared before Lucas.

"Guild name?" Lucas pondered slightly. As someone who was bad at naming, Lucas didn't hesitate and directly entered "Ainz Ooal Gown."

Ding! Guild: Ainz Ooal Gown, officially established.

Guild residence: The Great Tomb of Nazarick!

With everything perfectly concluded, Lucas woke Albedo from her daydreams. The three then headed towards the tomb entrance.

...

As Lucas had expected, the first three floors of Nazarick were just ordinary tombs. It was an enormous tomb, and at the moment, the first three floors were empty and vast. The rooms that should have been occupied by Shalltear and the terrifying public office responsible for the domain of the black coffin were all absent.

The trio continued to the fourth floor. The fourth floor was a huge underground lake, but it was also empty. The fifth floor was a glacial world, covered in glaciers that could inflict continuous freezing damage on intruders. The prison of the great tomb was located on this floor. The icy world was freezing Lucas to the bone.

The sixth floor was a vast forest with a realistic artificial sky, and outside the forest was a huge circular arena. This floor should have been filled with numerous monsters, but it was currently empty. The seventh floor was a lava world, covered with lava that could inflict continuous fire damage on intruders. The eighth floor was a wilderness, and the beautiful cherry blossom sanctuary did not exist, indicating it needed to be rebuilt.

The ninth floor was the royal suite Lucas was most looking forward to, a non-combat area with facilities equivalent to a five-star hotel, including various leisure and entertainment venues, where the supreme beings and their servants resided. However, when Lucas entered, he found nothing resembling a royal suite. It was practically bare, with only a few dim oil lamps.

The last floor, the tenth floor, was the throne room. This was the only place that could comfort Lucas's wounded heart. Inside a solemn hall, there was a magnificent throne almost identical to what Lucas had imagined.

So, apart from the throne room being fully summoned, none of the other structures had come along.

Lucas sat on the throne and sighed deeply. "Sigh! So poor!" The guild was in a state of disrepair, lacking everything.

"Master! Where is this place?" susu, who had been looking at these strange little worlds along the way, finally couldn't hold back her curiosity.

"From now on, this will be our home."

"Wow, our home is so big!" susu exclaimed, giving Lucas another headache. The place was indeed too large, and since it belonged to a different space, only those with the guild's unique space ring could use space magic for teleportation. Lucas felt a headache coming on.

"Master, why don't you summon Sebas and the Pleiades?" Albedo, as the chief steward of Nazarick, was very adept at management. Summoning the necessary personnel would indeed save Lucas a lot of trouble, especially with talents like Sebas and Eclair. However, the designated summoning ability had a one-month cooldown, which made Lucas anxious.

"This can't be rushed; I'll think of a way."

Albedo nodded, "Understood."

"I'll go bring in the summoned creatures outside. You two find a place to rest first." Lucas gave a few instructions and teleported out of Nazarick. After successfully establishing the guild, the system had given him a guild ring, allowing him to teleport at any time and place. However, there was only one ring, and it was bound to him, so he had to handle some things personally.

Under Lucas's leadership, a vast number of summoned creatures, about seventy to eighty thousand, entered the first floor of the great tomb, serving as guards. Since the ordinary monsters had turned into undead and zombies, Lucas didn't have to worry about their food.

While he was settling the summoned creatures, on the other side, in the Frozen Continent, inside the White Ice Palace, a man with bright red hair was frowning at the report in his hand.

"Farmus Kingdom... otherworlders killed the cursed bearer, caused a flood... robbed the royal treasury..."

The man was none other than the original red, one of the oldest demon lords, Guy Crimson. As the world's mediator, he had to handle a large number of affairs daily, unlike the other two unreliable demon lords who either played around or stayed at home.

After carefully reading the document, Guy muttered to himself, "Cases of otherworlders fighting back aren't unheard of, but this is the first time someone has been this brazen."

Behind him stood a blue-haired maid, the original blue, Rain, who asked, "Do we need to intervene?"

Waving his hand dismissively, Guy said, "Not many people died, let them be. But since there are more than twenty unrestrained otherworlders, send someone to monitor their movements. If uncontrollable factors arise, we'll intervene then."

"Understood!"
