"Whoa!"
As the flash of a silver sword streaked with astonishing speed, the tall and brutish-faced demon lost all of its hit points in an instant. Its body immediately disintegrated into black powder that drifted away with the wind, leaving a faint scent of ozone in the air.
Seeing such an easy and effective scene, Kael smiled faintly. He floated forward calmly towards Enri.
"Well done, Enri," he praised in a gentle yet satisfied tone.
"No, it's all thanks to the Lord," Enri replied with a wry smile on her face. She even felt a little embarrassed by the praise. If this success had been achieved through her own hard work and ability, she would naturally be able to calmly accept the praise from her Lord. However, looking at the results she had obtained now, she felt like she was just someone enjoying the fruits of another's labor.
She turned her head to the side, only to see that the swordsman who had just killed the large demon with a single deadly sword strike had returned to her side and bowed respectfully to her. Enri hurriedly returned the salute with a deep bow.
The swordsman held a long sword that shone with a pure silver light in his hand and wore gleaming white armor filled with beautiful patterns that looked sacred. His white cloak fluttered gently in the breeze, adding to his graceful yet powerful presence.
Enri had just seen it with her own eyes. The swordsman had only casually swung his sword, but the sword energy he released flew out, leaving a deep and wide gash in the ground that was more than ten meters long. A person with such power must be a legendary hero who only existed in stories, right? And now that swordsman had become her servant. This was more than just flattering, it felt like a dream too beautiful to be true. Enri felt as if a mountain was pressing down on her, so heavy that it made her breathless and feel small in the face of such great power.
Kael saw the mixed expression of admiration and unease on Enri's face, then gently patted her shoulder to encourage her. "Most people wouldn't be so lucky as to win my favor, so you must work hard in the future. Don't let others question the decision of a god like me in choosing you," he said in a joking tone that contained sincere expectations.
"Yes! I will definitely work harder and will never let the Lord down!" Enri replied with a serious nod, her voice full of determination as if she were making a sacred oath. The Lord not only resurrected my father and mother but also gave me such great power and protection. If I don't repay this kindness with my whole life, I will be a truly ungrateful person.
Kael couldn't help but smile faintly when he saw Enri's sincerity and determination. He then glanced at the swordsman standing upright beside the girl. This was the level 90 [Legendary Knight Karon], a permanent summoning life form that Enri had summoned using the rare mercenary summoning book that Kael had given her.
Since we know that summoning creatures to kill monsters can help your followers level up quickly, there's no need to let your followers fight and kill enemies themselves with great effort. Wouldn't it be better if you just summoned powerful creatures to fight for you? Kael thought calculatingly. Moreover, in this way, Enri could also obtain a large amount of experience value rewards due to the significant level gap between Karon and the monsters summoned by the Sunlight Scripture, allowing her level to increase even faster.
After [Legendary Knight Karon] slaughtered a large number of high-level monsters summoned by the Sunlight Scripture members with their expensive items, Enri's level instantly soared drastically to level 41! An achievement that 99% of the natives in the new world would never reach in their entire lives!
Although he had managed to quickly raise his follower's level, Kael had to pay a considerable price for it. The Sunlight Scripture members used advanced summoning items that had no restrictions on user conditions. Novices like them wouldn't be able to use ordinary magic scrolls with the same effect. To be honest, Kael felt a bit of a loss using these high-level summoning items just to exchange for a follower who had only reached level 41.
"So, the most urgent thing now is to cultivate production-type followers with unique abilities, otherwise, my precious summoning items won't be replenished, and it will be difficult to quickly obtain powerful followers in this way in the future," Kael muttered inwardly, thinking about a solution to the problem of his limited summoning item resources.
"If only we could find someone who has the ability to ignore the usage restrictions of magic items... Eh? It seems there is such a person!" Kael's eyes suddenly lit up brightly as he was deep in thought, and he recalled an important character who appeared in the original storyline.
Nfirea Barreare was a genius boy living in E-Rantel, the Re-Estize Kingdom's fortress city closest to Carne Village, and the grandson of the famous apothecary Lizzie Barreare. Like Nigun, Nfirea was a natural possessor of supernatural power, and the effect of his extraordinary supernatural power was that he could use any magic item without level restrictions or other requirements. He was exactly the talent Kael needed right now to solve his summoning item problem. And what was even more interesting was that Nfirea and Enri had a certain relationship; the boy was Enri's secret admirer.
It must be the Lord helping me! Kael couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in his heart that almost made him laugh out loud. The plan to obtain a follower with the unique ability to bypass magic item restrictions suddenly seemed much more feasible.
"Enri, you and Karon take these people back to the village first," Kael ordered Enri, then cast a sharp gaze at the Sunlight Scripture members with a warning look. "You're not stupid enough to do anything unnecessary, are you?"
"Ah, you... don't worry!" one of the Sunlight Scripture members replied nervously.
"Yes, yes, yes, we will fully obey Miss Enri's orders. We won't oppose her even if she asks us to kill ourselves!" another member chimed in with a pale face and cold sweat dripping from their temples. Everyone in the Sunlight Scripture felt a chill run down their spines and swore allegiance to Kael and Enri again and again.
In fact, even if Kael didn't explicitly say it, the people in the Sunlight Scripture wouldn't dare to even think about disobeying Kael's orders at this moment. They had witnessed his overwhelming power and felt completely powerless before him.
Joke! When they received the summoning items from Kael, some of those who knew the [Identify Item] spell secretly identified the item. After confirming that it was sealed with terrifying tenth-tier magic, they almost fainted from shock! There were only ten tiers of magic in the system of this world in total. The highest tier of magic that native humans in the new world could use was only the sixth tier, and the seventh tier was considered the realm of the Gods. Tenth tier... that was the ultimate limit of magic! However, even such a powerful item, Kael just threw it to them like garbage, without worrying in the slightest that they would use it against him. Didn't this indirectly prove that Kael himself could easily reach the same level of magic, or even be far more powerful than that?
A god above the gods! At this moment, all the Sunlight Scripture members had the most intuitive and profound understanding of Kael's existence. If they hadn't been raised by the Church to believe in the Six Gods, they might have turned around and converted to become Kael's followers right then and there.
"Hm, it seems you're not that stupid," Kael said with a satisfied tone, seeing everyone's fearful and obedient reactions. He then cast a sharp gaze at Nigun, who was standing among the team, and pointed at him with his finger. "You, come with me."
Nigun didn't know why he was suddenly being summoned personally, but he still followed Kael obediently and without asking, his steps trembling slightly with nervousness.
…
In the dense forest closest to Carne Village, three figures stood side by side under the shade of tall trees, staring in the direction of the human team in the distance with observant gazes.
Standing in the middle was an Elder Lich wearing a luxurious bachelor's uniform that looked out of place in the forest. To his left stood a beautiful woman clad in gleaming black armor with two large jet-black wings extending from her waist, giving off a powerful yet graceful demonic aura. To his right stood a white-haired old man wearing a neat and polite butler's uniform, contrasting with the aura of magical power emanating from his two companions.
They were none other than the Yggdrasil player Momonga who had also been thrown into this different world, and two loyal guardian NPCs from the Great Tomb of Nazarick level 100—Albedo, the alluring Succubus, and Sebastian, the mysterious and powerful Butler.
In the skeletal hand of Momonga, he held an old-fashioned Western-style telescope. It was not a sophisticated magical creation but an ordinary optical device he had brought from Nazarick. The last time he tried to scout Carne Village through a magic-based [Far-Seeing Periscope], it had inexplicably shattered. Momonga realized that Kael must possess anti-magic abilities or magic items that could detect and destroy magical surveillance.
The Great Tomb of Nazarick itself was surrounded by a vast wilderness, with no signs of any intelligent life nearby. Suddenly traveling to this completely unfamiliar world, gathering accurate information became the top priority for Momonga and all of Nazarick. Now that the existence of intelligent life had been discovered near them, Momonga certainly didn't want to miss this valuable opportunity to learn more about this mysterious new world.
So, concealing their magic auras and moving cautiously, the three of them had come to the edge of the forest bordering Carne Village. In order to avoid being detected by any magical defenses, Momonga did not use detection magic to spy on the village as before but chose to use a telescope, a physical means that magic could not counter. With that simple tool, he observed the activities in the village from a distance.
"There are characters who seem to be very powerful in such a small village. I guess I need to be more careful and thorough when collecting information in the future," Momonga thought to himself after putting down the telescope in his hand. He felt a slight unease about the potential dangers lurking in this world.
Before approaching Carne Village, Momonga had first conducted reconnaissance in the area several kilometers around the village to ensure there were no other human settlements nearby. It was difficult to explain the existence of such an isolated village if it wasn't a remote border village. Although the possibility of coincidence couldn't be completely ruled out, the level of civilization development in border villages was usually far lower than in major cities. Since there were people in Carne Village who seemed capable of creating or using tools to summon high-level monsters, there shouldn't be a shortage of people with similar or even stronger abilities in major cities. This also indirectly indicated to Momonga that the level of danger in this world might be as high as or even higher than he had previously estimated, which made him feel a bit apprehensive and even more cautious in his every action.
