Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Frost Dragon
Before leaving, Momonga and Peroroncino were sent off by a guide from the Dwarf Kingdom to lead them on their way.
Momonga glanced at the guide and said, "Gondo, if you die, I'll have a hard time."
"With your strength, you shouldn't let me die," Gondo replied.
Saying this, Gondo walked over to Momonga and whispered, "The treasury vault of the former royal capital has remained sealed by the Frost Dragon to this day. Inside, there are very important Runecraft documents."
"Isn't betraying your country a bit much?" Momonga also whispered in response.
"Since the Dwarf Kingdom has already abandoned the Runesmiths, then this isn't betrayal. I'm already a member of the Sorcerer Kingdom."
"I'll pretend I didn't see you enter the treasury vault."
Afterward, they bid farewell to the many dwarves and set off.
"To reach the former Dwarf Royal Capital from here, we must pass through three difficult trials. The first one is the Deadlock Canyon."
As soon as Gondo finished his introduction, Momonga had already flown past with him.
"The second one is the Lava Hell, and here..."
Before Gondo could finish his sentence, Momonga cast a spell. A large amount of water appeared and directly extinguished the lava.
The extinguished lava turned into stone.
Gondo opened his mouth, but couldn't find the words. It was clear that Momonga's strength far exceeded his expectations.
"The third one is the Toxic Gas Maze."
Momonga cast another spell, and a violent wind swept through, dispersing all the toxic gas in the maze.
Moreover, the terrain had changed. It was no longer a maze. What lay before them was now a vast continent.
"You're so amazing! For us dwarves, the maze is as hard as climbing to the sky, yet you solved it so easily!"
"Of course, Lord Ainz is the Sorcerer King, so he's incredibly powerful," Aura agreed.
"As expected of Lord Ainz!" Shalltear echoed.
In truth, Momonga didn't want to be so high-profile. However, this was something Peroroncino had privately told Momonga through communication.
The goal was to show Gondo their strength and make him completely give up on returning to the Dwarf Kingdom.
Peroroncino could tell that Gondo would definitely become a particularly powerful Runesmith in the future.
"Peroroncino, then you and Shalltear go handle Quagoa, and Aura and I will handle the Frost Dragon?"
"No, I also want to see the Frost Dragon. Large-scale massacres are still a bit hard to bear mentally."
The ground was littered with corpses, and for an ordinary person, it was really hard to accept. The previous battles had been against small groups of beasts or undead.
Peroroncino was different from Momonga. He was still a living being with flesh and blood, unlike Momonga, who had become a true undead. He had no humanity left and felt no emotion toward slaughter.
What he cared about was only Nazarick and the members of Ainz Ooal Gown. He didn't care about the lives or deaths of anyone else. Even if humanity were to be wiped out, he wouldn't mind.
"Then Shalltear and Aura can go handle Quagoa!" Peroroncino said to Shalltear and Aura.
"Lord Peroroncino, please take me with you. If we encounter danger, I want to be the first to protect you," Shalltear said, kneeling before Peroroncino.
"Don't worry! If we face danger, I'll notify you immediately! Besides, with Momonga's and my combat strength, there's no one in this world who can gain the upper hand against us."
"Understood!"
"Aura, Shalltear, if the Quagoa refuse to surrender, then kill them until only 10,000 remain."
"Understood!"
Shalltear could only watch reluctantly as Peroroncino and Momonga left.
"Let's go, Shalltear. We'll finish the task and deal with the Quagoa, then we'll come back to find His Majesty the Supreme."
Before Momonga and Peroroncino reached the former Dwarf capital, the Quagoa King attempted to bribe the Frost Dragon Lord with treasure.
He wanted the Frost Dragon's help to defeat Peroroncino, who had been slaughtering the Quagoa at the time.
However, the Frost Dragon was greedy. The treasure the Quagoa King brought was too little, and it demanded ten times more.
The Quagoa King gritted his teeth and agreed to provide the additional treasure.
The Quagoa King was still a good king. When the Quagoa General suffered defeat, he didn't punish him. Instead, he relied on the general's words to deduce the strength of Peroroncino's humanoid form.
Thus, he specifically came to seek the help of the Frost Dragon.
"My King, is it really worth it to give the Frost Dragon so much treasure?" the Quagoa General asked.
"As long as we capture the Dwarf Kingdom and obtain rare ores, then everything will be worth it."
The Frost Dragon Lord sent one of his weakest sons to help the Quagoa to defeat the Dwarves' allies.
It was a very special Frost Dragon—extremely fat and wearing glasses.
Then this Frost Dragon encountered Peroroncino and Momonga.
"So this is a Frost Dragon? Why is it so fat?" Peroroncino remarked, looking at Hejinmal.
"I've never seen a Frost Dragon this fat," Gondo replied.
"Frost Dragon teeth and fur are very valuable. The more Frost Dragons, the better," Momonga thought.
"Eye of Insight"
Name: Hejinmal
Race: Frost Dragon
Level: 45
........
"Truly a great experience boost!"
Without hesitation, Peroroncino grabbed his black-and-white twin swords.
"I am the son of the Frost Dragon Lord," Hejinmal began to speak, but immediately sensed a strong killing intent.
"Twin Sword Instant Slash!"
"I surrender!"
Just as Peroroncino's sword was about to strike Hejinmal, the Frost Dragon knelt down and showed his submission.
Peroroncino's sword also halted.
"Since you know when to yield, I'll spare your life!"
"Do Frost Dragons have to store fat to maintain warmth in such a cold place?" Momonga asked as he looked at Hejinmal.
"No, only my belly is like this in my family."
"A rare Frost Dragon? That should have collectible value. We can give it to Aura later," Momonga said, thinking.
"What's your name?" Momonga asked, looking at Hejinmal.
"Lord, my name is Hejinmal."
"Take us to the Frost Dragon Lord's territory."
"But... the Frost Dragon Lord is very powerful, it..."
Hejinmal wanted to say something, but he suddenly felt an incredibly terrifying aura.
It was the aura of despair emanating from Momonga. Its power wasn't great, and it was only directed at Hejinmal. If it wasn't controlled, Gondo might also be affected by the aura of despair.
Feeling the terrifying presence, Hejinmal was so scared that he wet himself, collapsing to the ground.
Seeing that, Momonga and Peroroncino instinctively took a small step back.
Gondo was so shocked he didn't know what to say. In his impression, Frost Dragons were incredibly powerful beings, and yet even such a being had been frightened to this extent.
Soon, Momonga, Peroroncino, and Gondo sat on top of Hejinmal and headed toward the former Dwarf capital.
