Tomie's Unlimited Journey

The morning sun was so bright, and no one knew what happened last night. The vendors and footmen walked out of their homes one after another and started their day's work.

Narberal opened the window and looked at the people passing by outside.

"Lord Ainz, are we still going to take on missions today?"

Narberal was a little disgusted with being with those low-level humans, especially the bed bugs that were in estrus all day long, which really made her want to use magic to kill them directly.

"Yes, in order to break into another world, it is absolutely necessary to contact humans."

Ainz said matter-of-factly. As an undead, he naturally did not need to sleep, but in order not to attract attention, he pretended to go back to his room to sleep. Last night, E-Rantel was a little uneasy. It was already midnight and there was still a faint trace of sleep.

Magical waves appear.

However, because the magic power fluctuation was too weak, Ainz didn't bother to check it.

"Sure enough, I still care a little..."

Ainz now regrets not joining in the fun, maybe he could get some useful information, but he has never relaxed about the green-robed woman. According to the information from his subordinates, they have already left E-Rantel.

"It's cloudy, it looks like it's going to rain soon."

Ainz and others came outside the tavern. Dark clouds were rolling in the sky, and it seemed that heavy rain would fall at any time. The air also became a little thick. Such an environment made him feel a little irritable.

He was about to tell Narberal to take a rest today, but suddenly he was stunned again.

There was a trace of strange energy in the surrounding air that even he could hardly detect. This energy actually penetrated into his body through the armor. It seemed that because the energy was too small, it automatically disappeared as soon as it entered his body.

Nabe on the side was completely unaware of this.

"Nabe, I'm not going out today, let's stay here."

Ainz became a little interested. Maybe he would soon see the high-end martial arts in this world.

"Yes, An——Mr. Feifei."

"Hey, can you not add Mr. Big? It feels so stupid."

Ainz raised his forehead and sighed. If what happens next is as expected, he might say it's okay or disrespectful...

There is a space that occupies about a quarter of the size of the outer city wall of Yer-Rantel, and that is where Yer-Rantel is located.

Lantier's common cemetery. Of course there are cemeteries in other towns, but they are far less extensive.

There are still many unknowns about the reasons for the creation of the undead, but unclean things are often born in the dying places of the living. Among them, the dead who died unexpectedly and have no one to care about are most likely to be reincarnated. Therefore, battlefields and ruins

In other places, undead people often appear.

Since the battlefield between E-Rantel and the Empire was right outside E-Rantel, in order to prevent the dead from becoming undead, a huge cemetery was needed for people to pay their respects to the dead.

The same goes for neighboring empires. They will make agreements during battles, and even if they are fighting each other, they will still give priority to excluding the undead.

The main reason for this agreement is that if the undead are left alone, as the number of undead increases, more powerful undead will easily be produced. Therefore, adventurers and guards will patrol the cemetery every night to eliminate as many weak ones as possible.

Immortal.

There is a wall around the cemetery that is about four meters high. This wall is the dividing line that separates the dead from the living. Although it is not as tall as the city wall, it is enough for people to walk on the city wall, and the gate is also quite strong.

It is strong and cannot be easily broken through by low-level undead.

There are stairs to the left and right of the gate, and a lookout is set up next to the wall. Five people are assigned to guard each shift.

The cemetery has a lighthouse equipped with permanent light magic, which is quite bright even at night. However, due to its large scope, there are still many dark places, and the view is even worse in places blocked by tombstones.

A guard with a gun looked absently at the cemetery, yawned and said to his companion who was watching beside him, "It looks like it's going to rain. Let's go in and take shelter. There are no powerful undead here anyway."

"That's right, there were only five skeletons that appeared before, right? Judging from the frequency of their appearance in the past, it feels like they have decreased a lot."

"Well, the soul of the deceased was summoned back by the six gods... It would be very lucky if that were the case."

Other guards were also attracted by this topic and joined in the discussion one after another.

"We can still handle just skeletons and corpses. But it's not easy to defeat skeletons with a gun, so it's a bit troublesome."

"I think it's a centipede skeleton. Last time, if the adventurers who were on guard nearby hadn't come to the rescue, I would have died."

"Centipede skeleton? I heard that if you let the weak ones go, powerful undead will be produced over time. Obviously, if you catch them all while they are weak, you won't be able to produce such powerful undead."

"Yes, that's absolutely right. The team patrolling the cemetery was severely scolded by our captain last week. Although the apology wine was great, I don't want to experience that kind of thing again."

"Okay, let's go in, I don't want to be a drowned rat."

The guards nodded to each other in agreement.

"Have you heard? The situation in the Kaz Plains seems to be exaggerated——"

A guard who was about to continue speaking suddenly stopped and said, "Quiet!!"

"What's wrong? Is there an undead coming out?"

"Although I didn't hear any movement...but I seemed to smell the smell of earth. Didn't I dig a cemetery before? It was very similar to the smell at that time..."

"Don't make such a joke."

"...Huh? Ah, hey! Look over there!"

Two guards who were out on patrol were running towards the gate. Both of them were panting, their eyes were wide open and bloodshot, and their hair covered with sweat was stuck to their foreheads. They looked as embarrassed as they could.

The sight in front of him made the guard feel bad.

The guards patrolling the cemetery were at least operating in groups of ten. Why were there only two of them? They didn't look like they were running desperately with weapons. They looked like they were fleeing.

"Open the door quickly! Open the door quickly!"

Seeing the two men shouting desperately in front of the door, several guards on the city wall hurriedly ran down the stairs to open the door.

Unable to wait for the door to be fully opened, the two guards rushed in from the cemetery. The two guards who left the cemetery interrupted the inquiry with pale faces, panting and shouting, "Quick! Close the door quickly! The undead are coming!" There are a lot of them! Hurry!”

Upon hearing this, the guards immediately worked together to close the door again and put the bolt on, and then they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When they came to the city wall, all the guards were stunned at the sight in front of them.

A jaw-dropping number of undead were heading towards the gate from the cemetery.

"What's going on with this amount?"

"I'm afraid there should be thousands of them..."

"There are too many..."

There are countless undead in places where the light cannot shine. If you include the shadows moving in the darkness, it is difficult to estimate the total number.

Carrying the smell of corruption, they are slowly approaching the city gate. Among them are not only zombies and skeletons, but also a rare number of powerful undead - ghouls, hungry ghosts, corpse demons, bloated ghosts, rotten corpses, etc. wait.

Despair, fear, helplessness.

It is simply impossible for them to stop these undead, and even with all the strength of Elandir, I am afraid that they may not be able to eat these undead.

Not only that, some undead can also turn the killed people into the same kind of undead, and although there are no flying undead yet, if they are not wiped out as soon as possible, powerful undead capable of flying will appear sooner or later! This is completely a vicious cycle!!
