"This is absolutely impossible. The sacred tree descended on its own. If someone can plant a sacred tree, then she must be a god!" The tree demon became excited and even raised a branch to guide the knight in the direction of the sacred tree, but the other party seemed to have lost interest in this matter.

Is the direction the tree demon is pointing to the Dragon Kingdom? The knight thought to himself that this was the place he was going to next. If he encountered it along the way, it would be a good idea to take a look at it.

"Sir Knight..." Pinis looked like she had something else to say, but she didn't notice that the atmosphere in the entire space had changed.

It was only a moment, but the almost frozen murderous intent suddenly appeared, making the air seem to become several degrees colder.

"Shut up." The knight interrupted the tree demon coldly and turned to look at the wasteland in front of him.

The dark clouds that had been obscuring the bright moon in the sky dissipated, and the moonlight poured down, revealing an empty space.

"Oh? Did you discover me in advance?" A voice with a somewhat mature tone but sounding quite young was heard. A shadow appeared on the ground, and then the shadow turned into a shape similar to a door. A person's figure slowly emerged from the void.

She was wearing a soft-looking black evening gown with a large, puffy skirt that felt heavy. She had a cardigan embellished with lace and ribbons over her upper body, and long lace gloves on her hands, so that almost no skin was exposed.

Her well-proportioned features, which could only be described as peerless beauty, were exposed, and her skin was as white as wax. Her long silver hair was tied at one side and fell down, so it did not cover her face at all, and her deep red eyes exuded a bewitching, bloodthirsty look.

She was probably fourteen years old or even younger, and her childish appearance was the perfect combination of cuteness and beauty. However, there was a part of her body that didn't match her age, as it was bulging.

"It seems that you are quite strong. I didn't expect that after following the direction of that beam of light, I would have such an unexpected gain." The girl said while licking her fingers, and a charming and sadistic smile bloomed at the corners of her mouth.

"Let me have a taste of your blood."

[Author's message:

The identity of the mysterious knight will be revealed soon.

The Dragon King of Destruction, also known as the Demonic Tree of Destruction, appeared in the original. It has extremely high health but its other attributes are average. In the original work, it was used as a training target by Ainz for the Guardians.

Everything that happens in this world is made up of countless coincidences, and a slight change may lead to completely opposite results.

If Ainz had not captured Nigan of the Sunlight Codex, if Ainz had not launched a strong countermeasure against the Theocracy's intelligence system magic, if the Theocracy had not mistakenly thought that it was the resurrection of the Dragon King of Destruction, if Shalltear Bloodfallen had not indulged in the momentary pleasure of killing and made a mistake...

From another perspective, if the knight had not received the mission to search this area, if he had not used such a powerful move when killing the Demonic Tree of Destruction, if the Demonic Tree of Destruction had awakened half an hour earlier, when Shalltear was still in the mercenary base...

Or more fundamentally, if someone far away in the Dragon Kingdom did not plant that tree.

If there were just a slight change in these things, the situation would probably be completely different now.

But there is no "if" in reality. At this moment, facing the two people who are thirty years old, there is no room to consider "if".

This is what fate is all about. Countless coincidences piled together will create a dramatic effect beyond imagination.

The two people standing on opposite sides under the pull of fate have no more choices at this moment.

"She is my enemy." This is the thought that comes to mind when both parties see each other.

They didn't know each other, and of course, they didn't have any inherent hatred. The reason for such uncontrollable hostility was probably because of their 'fundamental' differences.

The knight raised his weapon and took a guarded stance. He had never been so alert even when facing the ridiculously large demon tree just now.

Of course, the magic tree is not weak. Although its other attributes are very poor, its health value that is far beyond the limit can cause a lot of trouble to its enemies. The knight can easily kill it, even with one blow, also taking advantage of its attributes, compatibility, and weapons.

However, compared with the "powerful" magic tree, the girl in front of him could only be described as "very strong". If she fought the magic tree a hundred times, she would win a hundred times, and if she fought a thousand times, she would win a thousand times. Compared with the magic tree that was said to destroy the world, the girl was just this strong.

The knight stood quietly, not rushing to take action, but silently observing the girl, waiting for the right opportunity.

While the knight was observing the girl, the girl was also observing him.

Shalltear was not a cautious person who would conduct a thorough investigation and intelligence campaign before going into battle, but she had a keen sense and sixth sense, and the first time she saw the knight, she realized that the other party was a strong man.

She was far stronger than the vampire brides he brought with him, and was also superior to the combat maids. As for who was stronger between her and the guardians including himself, it was beyond the range of intuition to judge.

He must be weaker than Ainz-sama. This is not a judgment, but a belief.

But at this time, Shalltear was not only considering strength, but also some selfish motives. That was why she did not respond to Nazarick through "rumors" in the first place.

Just now, Shalltear made a huge mistake while carrying out her mission.

She failed to control her blood-sucking urge and entered the form of 'blood frenzy', resulting in not only the accidental killing of the person she was supposed to capture, but also the escape of a man who seemed to know 'martial arts'.

In a panic trying to make up for her mistake, she encountered a woman who seemed to have had contact with Lord Ainz. At the same time, the followers she released were killed by someone unknown.

Shalltear, who had suffered many disasters and was in a state of panic, was about to go to the place where her followers were killed. At this moment, an extremely bright beam of light flashed across the sky, along with an energy shock that spread along with the beam of light.

This light awakened Shalltear, who was in a state of blood frenzy. After hesitating for a moment, she gave up on the other side where her followers were killed and chose to move closer to the source of energy.

Then she saw this scene in front of her, a very strong man standing there.

If it was Demiurge or any other guardian, their first choice would probably be to contact the Nazarick headquarters, but in a panic, Shalltear's first thought was - this was a chance to redeem herself.

Defeating and capturing the enemy, doing this by herself, would definitely reverse the failure of this mission and even increase Ainz-sama's favorable impression of her. This was Shalltear's judgment.

Should she go all out right from the start? Or should she test the opponent's strength first? Thinking along these lines, Shalltear and the knight on the other side were still in a state of confrontation.

This confrontation lasted for about three minutes, but it felt like three years. Finally, Shalltear spoke first.

"My name is Shalltear Bloodfallen."

The other party did not respond, which made Shalltear frown.

"What's your name?" Shalltear asked bluntly, but still received no response.

"Can't you speak?" A trace of anger appeared on the girl's pretty face.

"Rongominiard, this is my name." The knight finally spoke.

She don't know if it was an illusion, but there was a very complicated emotion in the knight's voice.

"What a difficult name to pronounce."

"If you don't mind, you can also call me Arthur." Said the knight who called himself Rongominiard.

"Arthur? I feel like I've heard it somewhere before. Well, never mind." Shalltear said, shrugging.

"Then Arthur, you can choose to submit to me. If you do this, not only will I spare your life, but I will also give you the opportunity to serve the Supreme One. It's a good deal, right?" Shalltear spread out her hands and said with a smile.

At the same time, she sniffed the air carefully and scanned the other person's body up and down twice with her eyes, finally stopping at the breastplate.

"If I'm not mistaken, you are a woman with a good temperament and figure. If you have a good appearance too, you can choose to commit yourself to me." Shalltear stuck out her tongue and licked her lips.

"Ha, that's ridiculous and stupid. Do you think it's possible?" After hearing the other party's sneering response, the smile on Shalltear's face disappeared.

"Yes, there are always people who won't cry until they see the coffin. I hope that the way you kneel down and beg for mercy will please me." The artifact dropper spear appeared in her hand. Shalltear raised her head and her eyes collided with the other party.
