Meanwhile, Seiya and the other two had just left the Royal Capital and headed straight for E-Rantel, making directly for the area where Shalltear was located.
Old Bones had changed into plain clothes, with a full set of divine gear tucked around his waist. After fully buffing himself, he had just been about to engage the controlled Shalltear in Player versus Player when he suddenly received an urgent message from Aura, who was standing guard.
"Lord Ainz, someone has entered the alert range!"
Just as Old Bones entered Shalltear's target-locking range and successfully activated her from standby mode, Aura's sudden message gave him quite a fright.
Considering that the person controlling Shalltear was likely nearby, the Skeleton King worried that he might be interrupted during his Player versus Player battle with Shalltear.
He had specifically taken the World-Class Items "Diagram of Mountains and Rivers" and "Greed and Desirelessness" from the guild treasury, and had Aura and Mathew carry them while standing guard.
It had originally been merely a precaution, but he had not expected the enemy to actually appear.
"Who are they? Are they people from the Slane Theocracy?"
Having spent some time as an adventurer, Old Bones was no longer as ignorant of this other world as he had been at first.
Among the organizations and factions he knew of so far, Old Bones considered the Slane Theocracy the most likely force behind Shalltear's control.
First, the Slane Theocracy claimed to be the apostles and descendants of gods, and had always regarded races such as the undead and Vampires as evil beings.
Second, the Slane Theocracy had been founded by the legendary "Six Gods." Given that the magic used by the Sunlight Scripture had come from YGGDRASIL, it suggested that the so-called Six Gods had likely been YGGDRASIL players
