Zinedine quickened his pace. Although he hadn't received any reports yet, the sudden appearance of the Giant Bone Dragon was already very telling.
Could it be that that adult has been resurrected? Only that adult could summon such a huge Bone Dragon, right?
Although Zinedine himself had only heard about that adult's deeds from the record keepers, the current situation left no time to seek confirmation from them.
But... if that adult had been resurrected, then her disciple should have reacted... Filled with various questions, Zinedine gathered his disciples, and after leaving the range of the anti-teleportation barrier in the city, they directly teleported to where the Giant Bone Dragon was located, the main gate of the Slane Theocracy Capital.
As soon as they teleported, they saw from afar that all the Holy Guard Knights, the pride of their nation, were kneeling on the ground.
However, the object of their worship was not that adult, but a woman who looked both familiar and strange?
Just then... a guard ran over in a panic, probably intending to request reinforcements. As soon as he saw Zinedine, he rushed over and explained everything that had just happened at the city gate.
This is impossible... Even if she is that adult's disciple, she couldn't summon so many Undead at once, unless it was that adult herself.
But the so-called 'Princess' he saw from afar didn't look like that adult at all?
Since she was said to be a Princess of the Magic Kingdom, Zinedine naturally thought of Princess Elizabeth, who had previously assisted their country.
However, the Princess he saw now did resemble Elizabeth, but... her age seemed a bit off?
Could she be Elizabeth's older sister or something? Does the Magic Kingdom have two Princesses? Given her striking resemblance to Elizabeth, is she her sister?
Hmm... Regardless, since she is said to be a Princess of the Magic Kingdom, they cannot treat her lightly. After all, with the current strength of the Slane Theocracy, there is no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation with the Magic Kingdom. They should see what she intends to do before making a decision.
Having made up his mind, Zinedine mustered his courage and slowly walked towards the city gate, taking the initiative to greet her.
But just as Zinedine finished his greeting, he witnessed an even more astonishing scene: standing behind the Princess was Bell Adokmisrena, their country's spy sent to monitor Elizabeth.
What is going on? Wasn't she responsible for monitoring Elizabeth?
How did she end up here with this Princess? Could it be that her sister, Elizabeth, had been wronged, and she brought Bell Adokmisrena here to demand an explanation?
This possibility is high; otherwise, this Princess wouldn't have summoned such an absurd Undead force, and she even shifted the blame onto the Slane Theocracy. It seems this Princess is not an easy person to deal with, and they must handle her carefully.
Indeed... After just a few seemingly polite exchanges, Zinedine had already figured out the Princess's disposition.
Extremely troublesome... not at all inferior to her sister Elizabeth. Damn Ainz Ooal Gown, are all the daughters he raised so terrifying?
If that's the case, what about his son, the Momon the Dark Hero? He must be even more formidable, right?
It seems a plan needs to be devised to try and make contact with Momon.
Hmm... Let's put that aside for now. The most important objective at hand is how to ensure the Slane Theocracy emerges unscathed from this Princess's presence.
Honestly... at the moment, Zinedine felt completely out of his depth. Based on the previous guard's report and the Giant Bone Dragon he saw before him, it would probably require the entire Black Scripture to be assembled to even contend with it.
What about the Princess's own strength? That's still a mystery. If they use her sister Elizabeth as a benchmark, then this Princess, combined with her Undead force, could directly flatten the Capital; it's not impossible.
Therefore, they must... they must calm down and deal with this.
After the pleasantries, Zinedine noticed that the Princess kept looking around, as if she had noticed something. Following her gaze, he saw many injured civilians.
Needless to say... these civilians must have been terrified by the Undead Legion and got injured while fleeing!
Just then, the Princess spoke of offering compensation.
Compensation?
Is she being sarcastic?
Besides... which country would dare to accept compensation from the Magic Kingdom?
However... he then saw a very large magic circle suddenly flash out from around the Princess. What was this Princess trying to do?
Was the compensation she mentioned just now... this??
No wonder she kept glancing at the injured; was she planning to use them as sacrifices to summon more of her Undead Legion?
Zinedine had heard from the record keepers that powerful Necromancers could summon even more powerful Undead by directly sacrificing the living, without needing to store any Undead remains. Was she going to do that?
This damned person! Even if she did that, given the current position of the Slane Theocracy... they would be completely powerless against her.
Was the purpose of her coming here to cause trouble just this? To kill so many innocent civilians in front of a high-ranking Chief Priest, and yet the Slane Theocracy would remain indifferent?
Damn it... If this news spread to other countries, the reputation of the Slane Theocracy would be completely ruined.
However, it was not. Things completely exceeded Zinedine's imagination. The Princess merely smiled and spoke of directly rectifying her mistake.
Moreover, the magic power emanating from her had no evil intent whatsoever, and the huge magic circle didn't look like a dark magic circle at all.
Could she simply be using magic here to heal these injured civilians?
This? This can't be, right?
Isn't this Princess a Necromancer? To be able to enslave and command such a large number of Undead, and even control such a huge Bone Dragon, only an extremely powerful Necromancer could achieve such feats, right?
Yet now she can use faith-based healing magic?
This? Even that adult herself couldn't do that, could she?
Hmm? Faith-based magic?
Given the current situation? What if she uses it?
Rather, he hoped she would use it... Zinedine noted the situation at hand and verbally agreed to the Princess's action.
But seeing that the Princess had already conjured the magic circle, even if he refused, she would probably still use it!
However, after the Princess finished using that incredibly absurd, large-scale healing magic, Zinedine was truly shocked.
The healing magic she used must have been at least sixth-tier or higher. Judging from the magic circle, Zinedine had never seen such healing magic before.
Not only was its range extremely wide... but its effect was also incredibly powerful. It not only healed all the numerous injured civilians in an instant, but it even cured Zinedine's own back pain, which he had accidentally strained that morning.
This... this was nothing short of a miracle. In the Slane Theocracy, perhaps only the former Pope, with the assistance of a Princess Priestess, could cast healing magic with a similar effect, right?
Yet this miraculous healing magic... was actually used by a Princess who was supposedly a Necromancer.
Ainz Ooal Gown Magic Kingdom! Just how many more monsters are you hiding?!
