The ultimate skill [World Savior], [Transform into God of Salvation at this moment], had a cooldown time of 100 hours, and Super-Tier magic could only be used twice today. Other high-tier profession's special skills did not have similar super-powerful attacks. Next, Kael could only rely on [Martyr] and [The Twelve Labors of Hercules] to fight this prolonged war.
However, he had the [Leaf of Yggdrasil] to boost his defense, the [Holy Chalice] to restore his MP, and the [Ultimate Grimoire] as a firepower supplement. There were also a large number of consumable items in his backpack, so he would have no difficulty fighting for a long time.
"But I still prefer ultimate attacks," Kael felt a little regretful in his heart, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing across his face, but he was not hesitant in his actions.
Tenth Tier: [Descent of Heavenly Fire]!
Triple Maximize Magic: [Vermilion Nova]!
A large-scale fire magic attack was unleashed, and a fireball the size of a meteorite appeared out of thin air in the night sky, then fell rapidly with an unstoppable and terrifying momentum, incinerating the surrounding air.
Ainz and the others were about to use [Fly] magic to evade, but a magic circle suddenly appeared at Albedo's feet, and three consecutive red fire attacks made it impossible for her to move. And because the defensive layers on her body were severely damaged, Albedo almost used her own body to withstand the burning fire attacks, and suppressed groans of pain continued for a long time, indicating her suffering.
"Albedo!" Ainz noticed Albedo's poor condition and was momentarily enraged. The red light in his empty eye sockets glared at Kael not far away, and green fluorescence continuously emerged from his body, signifying burning wrath.
A gigantic fireball fell to the ground with a loud bang, and flames immediately spread, and the already barren ground was once again ravaged, adding to the destruction.
"Hmm?" The surrounding ground suddenly shook, then several thick spikes emerged from the ground and pierced towards him like a deadly trap. Kael immediately recognized it. This was Ainz's Tenth Tier magic, [Bind Bone], which could also produce a binding effect upon hitting the enemy.
He didn't care about the damage caused by the magic, but its binding effect would interrupt his attacks on the enemy, so he chose to use [Embrace of the Goddess] for defense. The bone spikes bit into the energy barrier, and after reaching a stalemate, they disappeared together.
Kael turned his head to look at Ainz and Albedo in the fire-filled sky, but unexpectedly found that in the flickering light of the flames, a huge light-blue magic circle was rapidly forming.
"Heh, Super-Tier magic," Kael muttered dismissively.
Almost as soon as those words were uttered, a terrifying high-temperature heat source emerged from beneath Kael's feet, and then destructive energy rapidly spread from it, engulfing his figure in a blaze of annihilation.
The Super-Tier magic attack continued. Ainz, who was at the edge of the attack's range, activated [Life Essence] and observed Kael's HP within the explosion, in disbelief. The opponent's defensive attributes were simply exaggerated, which was completely unlike what a Magic Caster should possess, so even Super-Tier magic wouldn't be able to kill the opponent with so much HP.
Ainz knew this too. Calculating his remaining MP, he launched an enhanced magic attack, Triple Maximize Magic: [Grasp Heart]!
The space-cleaving energy blade shot towards the explosion, and the extra MP consumed ensured that the skill would hit the opponent, clearing the opponent's HP without any surprises. Without pause, Ainz used the ultimate skill of the Eclipse class, [The Goal of All Life Is Death]. His single-target instant death spell, Eighth Tier: [Death], was also ready, waiting for the right moment to activate it.
As for why he didn't use the large-scale instant death magic [Cry of the Banshee] that he usually used, it was because all summoned creatures from both sides were killed in Kael's several large-scale attacks. Moreover, currently Ainz's MP value was depleted and he could no longer use magic.
Let me see if your resurrection ability has limits, Momonga thought to himself as he began to feel the urge to retreat. Although he still had several magic scrolls on him, and Sebas Tian, Demiurge, Victim and the others were on standby in the darkness, so the battle in Nazarick could still continue, but he didn't want to take any more risks.
Sebas Tian and the others were on standby, and they didn't appear immediately even after Shalltear's death, just in case of enemy reinforcements. This was something that had been decided beforehand. Fighting was like playing cards. Whichever side exhausted all its cards first would have a smaller chance of winning. It wasn't something a qualified leader should do to incur greater losses due to a momentary impulse and anger.
After this move, it was time to retreat.
Seeing the figure in the explosion showing signs of strong vitality again, Ainz used Eighth Tier: [Death] on him without hesitation, and the Roman pendulum hand behind him immediately began to move, counting down.
"Albedo, it's time to retreat!"
"Yes!"
After releasing their skills, Ainz and Albedo immediately flew towards the completely ruined temple in the distance, where Sebas Tian, Victim, and the others were hiding.
Trying to run?
After being resurrected, Kael saw Ainz and the others' actions and immediately guessed their purpose, and quickly prepared to use magic to stop them.
At this moment!
Swish!
A man wearing a red suit with demonic wings on his back suddenly appeared before Kael. He was Demiurge, his presence abrupt and menacing.
[Demonic Aspect: Giant Demonic Arm]!
Demiurge's right arm writhed and instantly swelled into a huge demonic fist, its muscles bulging, and he punched Kael in the face with a heavy, powerful blow.
Am I still allowed to let you slap me in the face?
[Holy Cross Shield]!
A shield of light appeared before Kael, easily blocking Demiurge's attack, then he fired a magic cannon backhand to knock him down.
Although Demiurge was a killer in the original work and fiercely beat the natives of the New World until they couldn't resist, he was actually a battlefield disruptor and his abilities were not outstanding. His physical abilities were only about 50% higher than the combat maids of Nazarick's Battle Maid Corps. The average level of the Battle Maid Corps members was only in the 50s, but Demiurge was at level 100. This showed that among level 100 units, Demiurge was the type with poor frontal combat ability.
Kael wasn't interested in playing around with this demon now, he was more concerned with something else. Demiurge must have just used [Teleportation] magic, which meant the teleportation magic blockade on the battlefield had been lifted. In this case, the people of Nazarick could easily use [Teleportation] magic to complete their escape, which was unacceptable to Kael.
"It's time for you to act!" Kael shouted to the sky, a resounding command.
Demiurge and Ainz, who were approaching the temple, were startled and looked up to see a white-bearded human Magic Caster wearing priest robes suddenly appear in the air. He was the Old Priest Kael had summoned earlier.
[Forbidden Area Teleportation]!
An invisible wave spread, covering an area of about five kilometers in the blink of an eye, extending the battlefield's range and locking everyone within it once again.
