Having prepared himself mentally, Draco arrived at the Eighth Floor and began the summoning.
The result... "Thump, thump, thump!"
He retreated three steps once again.
His heart was pounding from the successive shocks, feeling like it couldn't take much more.
Before him was a young girl dressed in black mourning clothes.
Her face, obscured by long black hair, had no skin; it was all exposed muscle.
Her glittering eyes and pearl-like teeth would have been beautiful on their own, but without skin, lips, or eyelids, the overall impression was terrifying.
If Draco hadn't been prepared, he almost would have attacked.
The newcomer was indeed Nigredo.
(The Sadako in black!)
Because of her terrifying appearance, she had been stationed by the supreme beings in the Frozen Prison on the Fifth Floor of Nazarick.
Her character build was a specialized Magic Caster, an expert in Information Gathering and Detection.
She possessed powerful Anti-intelligence Magic.
General skills: Mass Sense Presence, Dimensional Eye, Remote Viewing, Detect Sense, False Data, Crystal Screen, Counter-Detection, Locate Item, Essence of Mana, Essence of Life, Clairvoyance.
With Nigredo's existence, it was equivalent to Nazarick having eyes.
She could not only block enemy probes but also monitor the surroundings of Nazarick, with a staggering area of coverage.
At the same time, Nigredo was also Albedo's elder sister.
If one didn't look at her face, the aura Nigredo carried was very similar to Albedo's.
At this moment, Nigredo held a doll in her arms and had a pair of giant scissors at her waist, looking like the incarnation of death and terror.
Draco stepped forward and quickly completed the contract.
The next moment.
Nigredo suddenly dropped the doll in her hands.
"My child!! Why did you take my child!"
She instantly became violent, her eyes turning bloodshot, and a thick killing intent erupted from her body.
Draco silently picked up the doll from the ground and placed it into her hands.
"My child, my child!"
Nigredo took the doll and gently caressed it.
This was a small scenario set up for her by her Creator, Tabula Smaragdina, based on horror movies.
As long as someone appeared in front of her, the scenario would be activated.
Immediately afterward, Nigredo returned to normal and hurriedly knelt on one knee.
"Greetings, supreme being. My subordinate was rude just now, please forgive my offense."
"It wasn't your fault. Stand up."
Draco waved his hand, not blaming Nigredo at all.
He had seen this setting when he signed the contract; for some reason, Draco found it hard to maintain such a perverse taste.
I'll let that girl Kurumi experience the cruelty of society later!
"Let's go. I'll take you back to the Glacial Prison and help you set things up while I'm at it."
"As you command."
Nigredo followed Draco to the Fifth Floor.
He designated one of the rooms as her bedroom and filled it with the various horror dolls she liked.
Draco knew very well that although Nigredo's appearance was terrifying, she was very gentle at heart.
She was very tolerant of those close to her and loved children dearly.
Catering to her interests, Draco filled the room with dolls.
Afterward, he gave Nigredo a few more instructions and left.
In the next moment, a transparent mental field expanded.
A giant bubble phantom completely enveloped the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
This way...
Unless someone possessed a skill like Milim's 'Dragon Eye' that could see through everything,
no one could hope to peer into the Great Tomb from the outside... Returning to the Eighth Floor, Draco continued his summoning.
This summoning was different from before; Draco's MP was drained almost instantly.
This had only happened before when he summoned Orel.
A powerful pressure descended upon the Eighth Floor.
Orel, who was constantly watching Draco, frowned slightly and immediately came to his side.
Draco glanced at her. "Don't worry, it's Lupusregina Beta."
Possessing the skill 'Time Prediction,' he could see ten seconds into the future.
After the summoning started, he took a special look to avoid being startled again.
As expected.
As the commotion gradually subsided, a beautiful young girl emerged from the void.
The girl looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old.
Behind her was a pair of black crystal wings; she wore a long white dress and a silver crown on her head.
The only strange thing was that her feet were supported by two black crystal pillars.
The girl did not touch the ground, floating in mid-air like an angel embodying both good and evil.
Nazarick's strongest individual, Lupusregina Beta.
In terms of pure melee combat, she surpassed Sebas, Cocytus, and Albedo.
Even a fully armed Ainz Ooal Gown couldn't defeat her; even Shalltear was considered weak in comparison.
Even the strongest supreme being, the 'World Champion' Touch Me, was no match for her.
Only 'those' on the Eighth Floor, combined with World Class Items, could overcome her.
Lupusregina Beta's strength was off the charts—a mysterious bug that could crush everything!
In the game, creating NPCs required 'NPC Creation Points' provided by the system.
But Lupusregina Beta was an NPC forcibly created using World Class Items and massive amounts of money.
Her level hadn't even reached Lv100.
There were pros and cons.
Like the golem Gargantua on the Fourth Floor, Lupusregina Beta needed to be'started' to be activated.
She could easily lose control and go on a rampage.
(According to the original description, if she went on a rampage, only the existences of 'those' on the Eighth Floor could stop her.
Even if all the Floor Guardians worked together, they might not be able to suppress her, or rather, the cost would be too high.)
Draco didn't dare to activate this beautiful girl at this time; if she went on a rampage, Nazarick would suffer immense losses.
Unless it was a matter of life and death, he wouldn't easily use Lupusregina Beta.
Draco took the contract and, carrying the seemingly sleeping girl, arrived at the tree of life on the Eighth Floor.
Inside the tree of life was a room made entirely of crystal, the place where Lupusregina Beta was sealed.
Placing her on the platform inside the room, the surrounding crystals immediately began to flicker with mysterious runes.
Only then did Draco dare to sign the summoning contract.
The girl seemed to be in a deep sleep, quietly floating inside the crystal room.
Victim, who had been idle for a long time, finally had something to do.
"Victim, I'll leave Lupusregina Beta in your care. Contact me immediately if anything happens."
"As you command, My Lord!"
Victim nodded... (Separator)
I'm not sure exactly what Lupusregina Beta looks like.
The original work didn't specify, so I've defined it myself based on the current situation.
The introduction of Nazarick has all been concluded.
Next might be a jump to one year later.
Rimuru will appear tomorrow.
Hmm...
