Incidentally, on par with world-class items are world champion equipment. Only those who win the official martial arts championship can obtain the special profession of "world champion." The game company will give the world champion a special weapon as a gift, whose power surpasses that of divine artifacts and reaches a level comparable to guild weapons.
Of course, since it is a prize given to the champion of the competition, only the world champion can equip it. However, as long as the warrior transformation magic - "Perfect Warrior" is activated, it can be equipped without any penalty caused by any class.
Ainz used this set of equipment and skills in his duel with Shalltear.
However, one thing is certain: when an item reaches the world level, its effects become extremely powerful.
If there's anything that can counter World Items, it's only World Items.
In other words, if the opponent uses a world-class item, it is entirely expected that Shalltear will suffer a setback in this situation.
After all, although Shalltear is very strong, she does not have any world-class items.
To be honest, the sudden appearance of a world-class item in this pitifully weak world did surprise Ainz, but after the surprise came anger.
"I want to know, who was it that Shalltear used a World-Class Item?"
This is also a very important question. The previous questions all addressed why Ainz was summoned to this world and what the hidden big boss in this world might be.
This problem, however, points the finger at a potential enemy that may exist now.
A person who does not plan for the future will have trouble in the present. The waters of this world are undoubtedly not as shallow as they appear on the surface; many things are hidden behind them.
Luo Ya held up five fingers and said with a big smile, "This is the fifth question."
Ainz nodded slightly, which was considered as agreeing to the deal.
Luo Ya continued, "Actually, I've said before that I hoped you could behave yourselves, but unfortunately, you didn't take my words to heart and kept making one underhanded move after another."
However, Ainz responded with a cold laugh. He didn't want to hear Roja's nonsense and asked directly, "Stop talking nonsense. Just tell me which faction used the World Item."
Roya sighed, somewhat helplessly, and said, "The one who used a world-class item on that vampire was the Dark Scripture of the Slane Theocracy."
The Dark Scripture is a special intelligence unit directly under the priests of the Slane Theocracy, and the strongest and most unique unit among the six-colored scriptures.
The Dark Codex, as the strongest force in the Slane Theocracy, is considered the last and strongest guardians of humanity. All its members are at least at the "Hero" level and are equipped with magical artifacts left behind by the six Great Gods.
And that cross-dressing captain is one of only three divine beings in the country who have awakened divine blood, and his strength is quite formidable.
Of course, no matter how powerful they were, they were all wiped out by Shalltear when she went berserk.
Two crimson dots lit up beneath Ainz's armor as he muttered, "Slane Theocracy, Black Scripture."
Without a doubt, Ainz has his eye on that person.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before he asked again: "I want to know, is there anyone in the Slane Theocracy who is more powerful than the players?"
Roya held up six fingers to indicate that this was the sixth question. Ainz, sitting opposite him, remained expressionless, which was taken as tacit acceptance of the deal.
Roya slowly began to speak: "According to current intelligence, after the death of the six great gods, three of the descendants of the Slan Theocracy inherited the bloodline of the six great gods and were called God-Men."
"The gods possess combat power far exceeding that of the natives of this world, and their strength is roughly comparable to that of players. The chief of the Dark Cauldron that Shalltear killed was one of the three gods."
"However, as you know, there are strong and weak players. The chief player who was killed by Shalltear was probably below the level of a player."
"The strongest of the three gods is known as [Zetsu Zetsumei]. She is the only one you should be concerned about. If she were to wear the armor left to the Slane Theocracy by the six great gods, her strength should be enough to rival yours in your unarmored state and the guardians of Nazarick."
As Roya finished speaking, the young man gave Ainz a meaningful look.
The other party's inquiry into this matter is undoubtedly ill-intentioned. If the Slane Theocracy were powerful, Ainz might have some reservations, but given the current state of the Slane Theocracy, it is impossible for Ainz to have any reservations.
Admittedly, Ainz's ability to achieve a beautiful, naked state with a human body is something to be proud of. However, unfortunately, Ainz is not fighting alone; he possesses a large number of divine artifacts. In other words, if Ainz and the guardians of Nazarick were fully armed, then [Zetsumei] would definitely not be a match for them.
Ainz naturally understood this as well, and at this moment, he was already feeling a little restless.
Seeing Ainz's expression, Roja knew what he was up to.
The young man could only offer another reminder: "Although their high-end combat power isn't that strong, the Slane Theocracy was still founded by the six great gods. Nobody knows how many tricks they have up their sleeves. For example, this world-class item—can you be sure they have any more world-class items?"
It would have been better if Roya hadn't said anything, because as soon as he did, Ainz instinctively looked at him, leaving Roya speechless.
"I really don't know about this. The Soul Palace has indeed existed for a very long time, but we have two modes: one of engaging in worldly affairs and one of remaining hidden from the world. Unfortunately, when the Six Great Gods were at their peak, we were in a period of seclusion and did not get involved in their affairs."
"By the time we realized what was happening, the world had already become a mess."
At this point, Roya paused, then continued, "So if you want to ask me what methods the Six Gods left behind, I can only say that I don't know either."
Ainz remained silent for a long time, but this time his tone was unusually firm.
"I will make the Slane Theocracy pay the price."
Ainz spoke these words with an air of certainty, as if making a vow, before turning his gaze back to Roya and asking in a serious tone, "You won't intervene, will you? This is a private matter between me and the Slane Theocracy."
The atmosphere in the arena suddenly became tense. At this moment, both Ainz and Narberal were staring intently at Roya.
Luo Ya's next sentence will be the key answer to what the future relationship between the two will be like.
Roya shrugged, offering no clear answer. He stroked his chin and said, "Well, that depends on your actions."
“You are players, and you may not care about the natives of this world. But we are different. We have been rooted in this world for hundreds of years and have a deep affection for it. If you want to destroy the world, we will definitely step in to stop you. After all, we can't just stand by and watch you destroy our home.”
“Of course we wouldn’t do something like that,” Ainz said with certainty.
Roya smiled and continued noncommittally, "Of course, if you're massacring humans, like raising them as servants, I won't stand idly by. After all, I'm human too, don't you think?"
"That's only natural."
Ainz responded to Roa's words again, but this time his voice was noticeably less confident than before.
"Is there anything else you want to ask?"
"Gone."
The transaction between the two parties thus came to an end.
Next, it's time to negotiate the price.
"I believe you understand the importance of this intelligence better than I do. I won't ask for an exorbitant reward this time. Let's proceed as we discussed before: one super-tier spell, twenty spells of rank nine or higher, and high-quality items like sealing crystals." Roya made an outrageous demand, immediately asking for a huge reward.
This time, Roja made a fortune. He only gave up some information from the original work and was able to obtain a large amount of magic and items, and also gave Ainz a strong sense of pressure.
"can."
Ainz didn't haggle; he nodded in agreement immediately. After thinking for a moment, Ainz said to Roya, "As for the reward, I need time to prepare it. Well, come find me in the Great Tomb of Nazarick three days from now."
Luo Ya nodded, and the two reached an agreement, thus completing the transaction.
For a while afterward, Roya pondered what kind of super-tier magic he needed.
According to known information, Ainz Ooal Gown does not possess many super-tier magic spells. In the original work, Ainz used four super-tier magic spells.
First, there's the Skyfall, which has the effect of creating an area-of-effect (AOE) attack with extremely high firepower.
Secondly, there's the ability to alter the world: this skill can significantly change the weather and terrain. It's generally not very useful in the game, but it can be surprisingly effective in special situations. For example, the seventh-tier Lava River's Domain Guardian, [Red Lotus], can rival the tier guardians in combat power in a volcanic lava environment.
Or perhaps during the Lizardmen annihilation campaign, Ainz used this tactic to create a large-scale frozen environment to intimidate the enemy [actually, it was just showing off].
The third super-tier spell is a gift to the goddess of dark, fertile land. It's a first-strike spell with a wide-area instant-death effect, sacrificing instantly dead targets within the area to summon black goat calves. The number of calves is directly proportional to the number of sacrifices. Ainz once used this move to directly or indirectly annihilate 18 kingdom soldiers, achieving a decisive victory.
Finally, and also the super-tier magic that Roya values most, and the super-tier magic that Roya considers the most abnormal: Star Wish.
In other words, the spell is conjured by the user's will, triggering corresponding effects. Although it cannot change the effects caused by world-class items, the effects are undeniably powerful. Of course, casting such super-level magic comes at a price; it requires experience points. The higher the percentage of experience points consumed, the more random effects will appear, and the stronger the effects will be.
Even so, making a wish upon a star is a very powerful method, and to some extent, it can even serve as a supplementary skill, producing remarkable effects in certain extreme situations.
All four skills mentioned above are helpful to Roya to some extent, but the one that helps the most is undoubtedly making a wish upon a star.
Roya has no shortage of powerful offensive methods, nor does he really need summoning-type skills. Frankly, he can do the same thing himself by changing the surrounding weather and terrain on a large scale.
It's worth noting that in Konosuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!, he was referred to as the manipulator of the atmosphere.
The magic in the jobless reincarnation world has a significant impact on the landscape and weather.
So, if we really have to say, the only skill that can be of great help to Roya is making a wish upon a star.
Chapter 419 Super-Tier Magic
As for the ninth stage of magic, Roya first considered lethal magic.
Roya has no shortage of powerful magic, but he lacks magic that involves things like the laws of death.
Roya has been eyeing Ainz's instant-death magic for a long time, and if given the chance, he would definitely want to get his hands on it.
These past few days, Luo Ya has been considering what skills he should acquire, and also how to improve his reputation.
Some time ago, the fact that Roya killed the bone dragon in the graveyard was discovered by others.
Roya did not deny the matter, but readily admitted it and reported his discovery to the president of the Adventurers' Guild in detail.
The guild leader was greatly surprised and mobilized almost all his resources to investigate whether what Roya said was true.
That necromancer was indeed quite good at hiding, but whenever such a necromancy transformation is performed, there will always be some traces. These traces are naturally very difficult to detect if no one pays attention to them normally.
However, with careful investigation, there will always be flaws.
Upon investigation, it was discovered that the matter was indeed true. The leader of the Adventurers' Guild was shocked by this and subsequently underwent a complete change in his attitude towards Roya.
What started as respect has now become an attitude that can even be described as somewhat ingratiating.
During these three days, Roya focused on consolidating his reputation and successfully obtained the guild's promise to raise his adventurer rank from Mithril to Orichalcum.
Roya's strength is beyond doubt. He single-handedly killed two bone dragons. This strength is enough to live up to his title.
If it weren't for Roya's rapid leveling up, simply resolving this major crisis would have been enough to advance him from Mithril to the highest tier, Fine Steel.
