Root Fire Elemental "Monster Image Mirror"

Guild!

The Metal Dragon Starstripe's savage metal scales gleamed brightly, and deep within his eyes was a grave expression.

His understanding of a "Guild" was limited, but he knew it was a powerful group like the former Eight Greed Kings, one that possessed the power to overturn the world.

Below.

Ainz and Cocytus stared at the Metal Dragon Starstripe overhead, prepared at any moment for a sudden attack.

"He didn't attack immediately. Does he intend to talk—or compromise?" Ainz was somewhat surprised. He had thought the other party would attack directly.

"Essence of Life."

The next moment!

Ainz was startled. The opponent's HP exceeded his expectations somewhat, nearly comparable to the stats of an ultra-rare Gacha Krypton Gold Dragon.

Other than differences in appearance and attribute inclinations, the opponent's HP value was astonishing. Though inferior to Cocytus, it had still reached the high standard of around level 95.

"Essence of Magic."

He activated the detection spell he had prepared in advance once more.

"Just as expected!"

The MP value was equally astonishing, reaching the high level of 73!

The stats of a Gacha Krypton Gold Dragon were basically fixed. There was only one possible explanation for this situation: its user had enhanced it by embedding Data Crystals.

I absolutely cannot judge this opponent by the standards of a Gacha Krypton Gold Dragon! Ainz's heart sank, and he immediately became tense.

Though his MP was only around level 73, he had Teleported here, which meant he had already made preparations in advance.

Combined with that high HP!

This was the MP remaining after he had used all kinds of Enhancement Magic. It was also impossible to determine whether he had used anti-intelligence measures to disguise himself.

In a normal battle.

Two level-one-hundred beings like Ainz and Cocytus would have no problem
