Chapter 415 - Chapter 415: Dogs Bite Dogs

The intense sounds of fighting from Roa's side naturally attracted Shalltear's attention.

Compared to the elderly woman in a cheongsam, Roa was undoubtedly the person Shalltear cared about the most.

"What?" Shalltear's attention was drawn, and she couldn't help but look in Roa's direction.

However, this action was undoubtedly a grave mistake.

The young man's eyes lit up, and he ordered those around him, "Now!"

The old woman raised her hands, making a strange gesture, and with this gesture, the five-clawed golden dragon on the old woman's cheongsam began to shine, and the cheongsam began to glow.

By the time Shalltear reacted, the five-clawed golden dragon had already gathered into its original shape, roaring and pouncing towards Shalltear, with incredible speed.

She had missed the best opportunity to kill the enemy.

When fighting Roa, Shalltear had repeatedly suffered due to insufficient speed, once falling into a disadvantage and being suppressed by Roa.

And now, Shalltear had directly fallen into the enemy's trap due to a series of reasons.

Shalltear didn't react in time and was struck by the five-clawed golden dragon.

Shalltear's eyes widened, and she staggered back a few steps, letting out a cry that sounded like a death scream or a painful wail.

Roa frowned upon hearing this scream. He didn't expect Shalltear to have fallen into the enemy's trap. He wanted to look towards Shalltear to observe the situation, but he was blocked by the guy in front of him.

The attacker was wearing full platinum-gold metal armor, with a mysterious mark on the chest and weapons floating around him.

A total of four weapons floated around this warrior: a platinum broad-bladed spear, a platinum katana, a platinum broadsword, and a platinum handleless great hammer. These weapons all had one thing in common: they were all silver-white and looked quite handsome.

These weapons surrounded him, moving with the warrior's will. This was a mysterious platinum knight with an incredible aura.

Seeing the attacker's true face, a look of surprise appeared on Roa's face.

"It's you?"

The attacker's movements also paused slightly upon seeing the expression on Roa's face. He didn't rush to attack, and a voice that seemed both near and far came from under the heavy helmet.

"You know me?"

Roa didn't answer the platinum warrior's question but instead asked, "Putting that aside, why did you ambush me?"

However, the platinum warrior's answer was very simple.

"That is a very dangerous existence. Since someone is preparing to eliminate her, I naturally won't stand by and watch someone else stop it."

"She" naturally referred to Shalltear, and "someone" referred to the group he had just seen.

Roa understood the platinum warrior's words, but it was precisely because he understood that the strange expression on his face became even more pronounced.

"Stop… Which eye of yours saw that I would stop their plan?"

The platinum warrior was silent for a moment before speaking in a low voice, "I saw your gaze was constantly fixed on that item."

The platinum warrior's meaning was simple: he thought Roa might do something, so he acted directly.

After all, the opportunity only came once, and he couldn't gamble this rare opportunity on whether Roa would act. All potential dangers should be nipped in the bud.

Roa sighed and quietly extended his magic downwards, probing and feeding back Shalltear's condition to Roa.

It was okay. Although Shalltear was being controlled, she was still a level 100 NPC far surpassing the natives of this world.

The moment she was hit, Shalltear directly activated her berserk mode and charged towards the group of people.

Knowing the general situation, Roa breathed a sigh of relief.

The plot hadn't deviated too much; it had just blown up the person in front of him.

Roa was now considering retreating.

He didn't really want to stay here and fight this guy in front of him.

However, at this moment, the platinum warrior suddenly asked, "Are you a player?"

Just this short sentence instantly caused the surrounding air to freeze.

If Ainz heard this, he would probably be shocked as well.

After all, judging by the other party's attitude, it was obvious that he knew something about "YGGDRASIL," even knowing that "YGGDRASIL" players would come to this world.

To be able to say this with such a calm attitude and tone, it could be inferred that the other party was very aware of the existence of players.

Roa wasn't too surprised to hear this. Someone in this world must know about the existence of players; it wasn't uncommon. Roa asked with interest, "I see. So, it seems I look a lot like a player in your eyes."

The platinum warrior had only asked as a test, but he didn't expect to get something out of it.

"If someone of your strength were to do evil, it would inevitably bring serious disaster to this world," the platinum warrior continued, wanting to confirm more things.

However, Roa scoffed at this. The young man's gaze was cast on the platinum warrior in front of him, his light golden pupils staring directly at the other party. Roa slowly said, "So, you want me to give you some kind of guarantee?"

Roa's tone already carried a hint of displeasure. The platinum warrior heard this, but his face didn't show any emotion, and his tone remained calm as he said, "You don't seem to know the harm that players bring to this world."

"Forget it, you don't need to know about such things. You're human, which is a blessing in disguise for you."

"For this world, players from 'YGGDRASIL' are a very dangerous and unstable factor, especially those heteromorphs."

The platinum warrior paused here, and his tone became somewhat cold at the end: "Actually, saying so much is also to hope that you can consider your position in the future and not choose the wrong path."

Roa narrowed his eyes, gazing deeply at the platinum warrior in front of him. He asked, "If I choose the wrong path, what do you plan to do?"

The answer to Roa was a calm tone without the slightest hesitation: "In that case, I can only eliminate you first."

"Interesting."

Roa wasn't angry, but at this moment, one of Roa's hands had already gripped the hilt of the Windpipe longsword.

As if making some kind of declaration, the young man said, "Then let me see what strength you have."

The ancient longsword was suddenly drawn, and flames wrapped around the sword as it slashed fiercely towards the other party.

Roa's current swordsmanship skills, when using Sun Breathing, could completely disregard fixed moves.

The violent slash carried boundless heat waves, crushing down on the other party.

The platinum warrior's expression changed, and he held the platinum greatsword horizontally to block.

However, how could this slash be so easily received? A scorching aura spread along the Windpipe towards the platinum greatsword, and the part of the platinum greatsword that came into contact with the Windpipe instantly turned fiery red.

Roa's own strength was very powerful, and the platinum warrior's stats were clearly not that high. With one strike, he was almost directly knocked to his knees by Roa.

Seeing the other party's embarrassed appearance, Roa smiled and said, "It seems your strength hasn't reached the point where you can threaten me."

The platinum warrior was silent, and two of the three weapons rotating around him shot towards Roa.

At this moment, Roa only had one weapon in his hand. To block the attack from the platinum warrior, he would have to retract his attack.

However, Roa smiled indifferently at this, and his light golden pupils became dazzling at this moment.

"Word Soul - Moment."

An invisible domain enveloped him, and the two weapons that were originally speeding towards Roa's face became incredibly slow at this moment.

Roa grabbed one of the platinum weapons with his left hand, exerted force with both hands, and threw the weapon out fiercely.

The target of the throw was Shalltear, who was standing in the distance with a dazed and scattered gaze.

It turned out that Roa's attention had always been on Shalltear.

At this moment, Shalltear had already cleared out all the surrounding trash.

A level 100 NPC, especially Shalltear in a state of extreme frenzy, was truly powerful. The group in front of her was almost cruelly and mercilessly killed by Shalltear in a few breaths.

At this moment, Shalltear had returned to her previous appearance. She was still wearing that elegant evening dress, and the fluffy skirt draped to the ground. She had returned to that state of a peerless beautiful girl.

However, the surroundings were not peaceful at this moment. The ground was covered with brutally murdered corpses, and blood had dyed the ground crimson red.

Some of the corpses were either violently torn in half, or simply pierced through the heart with one blow, the scene was bloody.

However, at this moment, Shalltear's eyes were lifeless, and she looked around somewhat confused.

The blood pool above her head had also dissipated, and the girl stood there alone, matching the surrounding environment, as if she had just suffered some kind of fierce battle.

However, Shalltear, who was currently in a neutral state, was pierced through the chest by a platinum katana.

Shalltear's expression froze slightly, and her originally dull and scattered pupils gradually radiated vitality.

And after a while, following the platinum katana, a huge and burly figure fell.

A white figure crashed into the ground with a similarly exaggerated speed, stirring up a large amount of dust.

Who else could this be but the platinum warrior?

The platinum warrior shook his head and got up from the ground.

It turned out that in the instant of the previous exchange, the weapon thrown by the platinum warrior was directly taken over and thrown out by Roa. The platinum warrior was not spared either, and was kicked away by Roa with a straight kick.

After the dust settled and the platinum warrior recovered, he saw a beautiful girl with a silver-white katana piercing through her chest.

"Hey, you damn bumpkin, did you do this?"

Shalltear reached out and pulled out the platinum katana from her chest, staring at the platinum greatsword of the same design as the platinum warrior that was floating in the air.

The wound that had been pierced by the platinum katana almost completely healed in the blink of an eye.

The platinum warrior was silent for a moment. He looked at the katana in the other party's hand, and then at his own silver-white armor. The originally flashy silver-white armor now looked glaring no matter how he looked at it.

At this moment, he really wanted to say, "It wasn't me."

The platinum warrior was also speechless. He didn't expect Roa to give him such a kick, and more importantly, compared to Roa, the guy in front of him was undoubtedly more difficult to deal with.

He also didn't expect that the people of the Theocracy hadn't even lasted a few breaths before being slaughtered.

But without a doubt, all of Shalltear's hatred was now on the platinum warrior.

Shalltear simply asked a question, and then suddenly attacked.

The platinum warrior was speechless and had no choice but to fight with the other party.

Standing in mid-air and looking down, Roa had a satisfied smile on his face.

"That's right, this is the enemy you should be facing."

Both of them were put in a bad situation by Roa using the same means.

Roa wasn't very interested in their battle.

The ending was simple: the Platinum Warrior definitely couldn't defeat Shalltear. With Shalltear's stats and her ridiculously luxurious equipment, it would be strange if the Platinum Warrior could win.

However, it would also be somewhat difficult for Shalltear to kill the Platinum Warrior, purely because Shalltear was in a wild monster mode.

In this mode, she would only react if attacked or if someone entered her attack range.

That is to say, if the Platinum Warrior realized what was happening, wasn't killed by Shalltear, and used teleportation in time, he would likely escape the battlefield.

Roa, who was originally preparing to leave, narrowed his eyes slightly. If he let the Platinum Warrior escape that easily, Roa would feel somewhat regretful.

To avoid any regrets, he decided to use some tricks.

Roa slowly extended a finger, aimed at the area, and whispered, "[Greater Magic Seal]!"

This was one of the few good things Roa had obtained from Ainz. Of course, this skill also had significant drawbacks: the sealed magic couldn't be too powerful, and if the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, the magic wouldn't have the desired effect.

If Roa wanted to use this skill against Ainz, he could probably only seal a few low-level skills. As for higher-level skills, such as super-tier magic, that would naturally be impossible.

But in the current situation, it was perfect.

Roa didn't seal many skills, mainly targeting two: the teleportation skills the Platinum Warrior had used before, which Roa directly banned.

The Platinum Warrior, who was confronting Shalltear, seemed to sense something and his expression turned ugly.

He had never forgotten the guy who kicked him in front of Shalltear.
