Just as Kenichi subdued Shalltear, another rather intense battle was taking place elsewhere near the city of E-Rantel.
It was less of a battle and more of a slaughter.
The two sides in this fight were none other than Ainz and the [Clown], Clementine.
Looking over, one could see Ainz, clad in a black cloak, holding Clementine tightly in his embrace with one hand.
"Let go, let go..."
Clementine's face was full of despair. Driven by a powerful will to survive, she struggled incessantly.
But whether she used her fists to attack Ainz's head or stabbed him fiercely with her short hammer, Ainz's skeletal arm didn't loosen in the slightest. Instead, it squeezed inward bit by bit.
As time passed, the crushing force generated by Ainz's arm grew increasingly immense.
Clementine, struggling continuously, finally couldn't withstand the tremendous pressure. The bones in her body began to break, and she vomited blood.
"I can be quite willful too!"
After saying this in a tone full of authority, Ainz's other skeletal arm also wrapped around her.
Crack-
The moment Ainz exerted force with both arms, Clementine was crushed to death.
Ainz casually threw Clementine's corpse to the ground.
He didn't even glance at it and turned directly.
Just as Ainz turned, a graceful figure descended from the sky, landing steadily in front of him.
The newcomer was a woman who looked to be in her late teens.
The woman had fair skin and exquisite features.
Her beautiful face was as cold as ice, giving off an aura of keeping people at a distance.
It was precisely this aura that created an ice queen beauty.
This woman was none other than the battle maid of the Pleiades of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, Narberal Gamma.
"Ainz-sama, how should we deal with this flea?"
Nabe emotionlessly glanced at Clementine's corpse at Ainz's feet and asked Ainz.
"Leave it be!"
With that, Ainz and Nabe walked together towards a deserted palace not far away.
As they walked, a 'message' prompt suddenly sounded in Ainz's mind.
"It's from Albedo."
Ainz raised his right hand, placing two skeletal fingers against his temple.
"Albedo, sending a message at this time, is there something important?"
Soon, a pleasant female voice sounded in Ainz's mind.
"Ainz-sama, Shalltear has rebelled!"
"Huh?"
Hearing Albedo's words, Ainz's footsteps halted.
Albedo, as the Chief Guardian of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, although she often wasn't very "proper" in front of Ainz most of the time, when it came to important matters, there were absolutely no issues.
Ainz believed Albedo would never joke about something like this.
"I understand. I'm coming over now. We'll discuss the details when I arrive!"
"As you command!"
With that, Ainz ended the magical communication.
"Ainz-sama, did something happen?"
Although Ainz had no face, Nabe beside him could still sense Ainz's abnormality.
Shalltear was a Floor Guardian.
A Guardian rebelling was a major event.
However, before the investigation was clear, this news couldn't be spread.
Ainz looked at Nabe, thought for a moment, and still decided not to tell Nabe about this matter for now.
"There's a problem at Nazarick, I need to go back and handle it."
"I'll leave matters here to you. Contact me promptly if anything happens."
"As you command!"
Nabe answered respectfully.
Then, under Nabe's watchful gaze, Ainz raised his skeletal hand.
"Gate!"
The next second, a void rift appeared in front of Ainz.
Soon, Ainz stepped into the void rift.
After the void rift closed, Ainz also vanished into thin air.
