As in the original story, a group of people set off to go to the place where the Six Arms were located, preparing to solve these guys first.
The Six Arms were the highest combat power of Eight Fingers. All the members of the Six Arms were figures comparable to adamantite-ranked adventurers. This level of figures was already at the same level as many people in Blue Roses.
As long as these people were solved, the remaining members of Eight Fingers would not be a concern.
Eight Fingers were responsible for managing slave trading, assassination, smuggling, theft, drug trafficking, bodyguards, finance, and gambling. There were many types, almost encompassing the entire underworld. Therefore, their structure was also relatively scattered. Except for some necessary things, they were all in charge of their own affairs. This time, the intelligence showed that there were as many as six strongholds of Eight Fingers.
And the Blue Roses group went to the place where the Six Arms gathered first, intending to deal with these people first.
The plan was very smooth, and there were no unexpected differences.
The night was dark and the wind was high. Roa was pulled by a group of people, hiding in the corner peeking at the tall building not far away. Everyone's faces showed solemn expressions.
That was a tall and majestic building, with high walls standing tall. Not only was the building tall, but its space was also closed. The first impression it gave people was not like a fortress or a stronghold. It was more like a prison, a very large prison.
Lakyus said in a deep voice: "If there are no accidents, the Six Arms are inside. Let's make a quick decision. After solving them, we will go to the remaining strongholds separately and wipe out the remaining evil forces. This way, this mission will be completed."
Then Lakyus began to assign detailed task plans. Roa didn't listen to what Lakyus said at the moment. His brows were slightly frowned, looking at the prison not far away, and fell into deep thought.
Roa suddenly asked: "Lakyus, is there some information you didn't tell me about this mission?"
Lakyus was slightly stunned, and after thinking for a moment, she didn't understand the meaning of Roa's words.
Roa said directly: "Princess Renner… is she hiding something and not saying it?"
Lakyus's face changed slightly, and she asked: "Roa, have you discovered something?"
Roa glanced at everyone and nodded slightly: "Fortunately, I came here, otherwise you would have been wiped out here."
If it were other adventurers, they would definitely sneer and think that Roa was just talking nonsense.
Because the group of people in front of them were adamantite-ranked adventurers, masters who had stepped into the hero realm. Even in the Royal capital, there were only four such teams, two of which were Roa and Momon, who had just emerged recently.
However, when the Blue Roses members heard what Roa said, their faces changed, and their eyes became sharp.
Lakyus said: "Just say what you want to say, is there a problem with the information? Or is the information in front of us a trap?"
Roa sighed: "It is indeed a trap, but it's not aimed at you, forget it, let's act according to the plan first, it's not okay to just stand outside."
Lakyus whispered: "Since there is a problem, are we still going? Roa, don't you think the other party has the strength to wipe us out?"
"Yes, but the BOSS inside hasn't come out yet, what's in front of us is just bait." Roa's tone was calm, but he had already started walking towards the prison.
The Blue Roses members looked at each other, and they all saw a hint of helplessness in it.
Roa had always been mysterious, and everyone didn't know much about Roa, but according to their plan, they had to go hard this time, and there was nothing else wrong.
Lakyus didn't want Roa to rush in alone, she said to Roa: "We have thief-type professions in our team, we can let them try it out first."
Lakyus was referring to Tia, the Tina sisters. As thief-type people, reconnaissance missions were naturally Tia and Tina's forte. They could enter the shadows and move around in this form.
"Whatever." Roa replied and ignored Lakyus.
The young man sat expressionlessly in the front, followed by Brain behind Roa. Brain's expression was a little nervous. He was also frightened by Roa's previous words.
Being able to wipe out an entire adamantite-ranked adventurer team, how terrifying would that strength be.
And being able to have the corresponding strength
Could it be that monster?
The guesses in his heart increased, and Brain swallowed subconsciously, his eyes fixed on the young man in the green shirt standing in the front.
"Brain, give me the sword."
Roa's words interrupted Brain's thoughts, and he subconsciously handed the long sword he had been preparing for a long time to Roa's hand.
Roa took the Windpipe, looked at the people behind him, and said: "We have been discovered, there are probably magic or magic items similar to life perception set up nearby, from the moment we stepped into the surrounding area, we have been discovered."
Sure enough, in the next moment, above the prison, a bright light suddenly lit up, followed by dense arrows, the arrows made a sound of breaking through the air, and attacked everyone.
The door opened, and six differently dressed guys stood in front of Roa.
These individuals possessed different occupations, but without a doubt, they all exuded an aura of competence and brutality. However, that wasn't the main point. The moment Roa saw these guys, he already understood who was behind the scenes, stirring things up.
"Shalltear?" Roa murmured, speaking the name aloud.
The reason he suspected Shalltear was simple.
All of them were currently under mental control.
And the only one he knew who possessed this ability, capable of controlling even the undead, was Shalltear, the high-ranking vampire. He hadn't seen anyone else capable of using such a skill.
Although he couldn't rule out the possibility of them using items, the fact that they could directly control the Six Arms meant that Ainz's side had definitely made a move.
Roa's gaze was deep, and he quickly guessed the situation with a high degree of accuracy.
The young man raised a hand and pointed, saying softly, "[Infinity Wall]."
Instantly, an invisible barrier rose from the ground, intercepting all the arrows that were flying over.
"Who do we have here? If it isn't Blue Roses!"
The burly man in the lead spoke first. His muscles were bulging and prominent, giving off a sense of strength and fitness. His body was covered in tattoos of wild animal images.
"But now that you're here, you'll all stay here."
"Consider it a mercy from your host."
With that, the burly man revealed a ferocious smile and charged towards Roa.
However, before Roa could even make a move, the members of the Blue Roses team had already stepped forward and engaged the enemy in fierce combat.
Among them, Lakyus had the most momentum. With a light shout, a number of longswords appeared behind her.
"Go! Floating Swords!"
This was Lakyus's signature magic item—the Floating Swords.
This magic item could be controlled by Lakyus's will, freely attacking incoming enemies, and its effectiveness was outstanding.
The Floating Swords didn't attack the bald, burly man. Instead, it changed direction and headed straight for the Eight Fingers members at the top, those wielding bows or staves, instantly launching a major cleansing.
"I'll assist you!"
A man dressed in brocade and fine clothes, looking like a nobleman, and holding a rose rapier, spoke and became entangled in a fight with a member of Blue Roses.
Gagaran recognized the opponent's identity and gritted her teeth, saying, "Thousand Kills Malmvist!"
"That's right, it's your grandpa here."
The other Blue Roses members were also entangled by the Six Arms members, unable to break free for the moment.
Except for Evileye, who was able to overwhelm her opponent, the other members were evenly matched for the time being, fighting fiercely.
Roa had sharp eyes and instantly saw what was happening.
These Six Arms members had been noticeably enhanced, their strength having jumped from the quasi-heroic domain to the heroic domain. Their combat power was quite remarkable, making it difficult to defeat them for the moment.
Seeing these people, Roa became even more certain that these guys had been tampered with by Shalltear.
However, there were still flaws. Evileye's attacks were fierce, and her opponent happened to be one of the weaker ones. As the fight went on, he gradually became overwhelmed and shouted to those around him, "Kill this bitch together! Edström!"
The person called Edström was a young girl. Her attire was quite exotic, with revealing clothing, a thin veil covering her face, and gold rings on her wrists and ankles. She had a slender figure, and six curved swords surrounded her.
Dancing Scimitar Edström!
Edström chuckled softly, "Succulent, you're really too weak. You can't even beat a little girl."
Despite saying that, Edström still joined the battle, barely turning the tide.
"Crystal Lance!" Evileye gritted her teeth. Originally, she had planned to quickly end the battle and then support her teammates, but now it wouldn't be possible to finish the fight in a short amount of time.
A lance formed from gathered crystals was launched towards Edström, but Edström easily dodged it.
A free-for-all, the scene undoubtedly became a mess.
Roa wasn't in a hurry to make a move. Instead, he observed the faces of the individuals.
Soon, Roa discovered the clues.
These guys had bloodshot eyes, and when they spoke, their unusually sharp fangs could be clearly seen.
"I see, so Shalltear not only used mental control but also directly converted them into familiars." Roa murmured softly, having already guessed the general truth in his heart.
"However, this game is over!"
Roa extended his finger, pointing at the people in front of him.
"[Mass Hold Species]"
"[Reverse Gravity]!"
Almost instantly, an invisible energy enveloped the six, and even though they were called the Six Arms, they couldn't resist in the slightest. Cracking sounds came from their bodies, and one by one, they fell to the ground, unable to rise again.
The six who were originally fighting were instantly defeated.
The burly man in the lead had a flushed face but could only kneel on the ground, unable to move.
The members of Blue Roses stopped their actions, looking stunned. Lakyus stuttered as she asked, "T-That's it? It's over?"
However, what responded to Lakyus was Roa's cold voice: "Not yet."
Zero, wounded and battered, knelt on one knee on the ground, looking at the surrounding scene and roaring in disbelief.
"Damn it, damn it, how could this be!"
"We clearly received power from the master!"
The Eight Fingers members suffered heavy casualties. Almost everyone except the Six Arms had died in battle.
Zero's muscles bulged, and even though he was affected by Roa's binding skill, he still wanted to stand up.
Roa came in front of Zero and kicked him hard in the head without hesitation.
Several of Zero's teeth were kicked out by this kick, his nose caved in, and a large amount of blood gushed out of his nostrils, flowing onto the ground.
Roa smiled and said to Zero, "Where is your master? Where is she?"
However, what responded to Roa was Zero's cold laughter.
"You, you will all die!"
Zero said with a very certain tone. His eyes became extremely red, and he continued, "No one will be a match for that master. You will all die, you will all die here, haha!"
Roa sighed, his gaze sweeping across the chaotic battlefield.
He waved his hand and said to the others, "Everyone, leave the rest of the battle to me."
After speaking, Roa ignored the Blue Roses members. He stepped forward alone and said loudly, "Shalltear, you're here, aren't you? Aren't you going to come out and see an old friend? You're the one controlling these people, right? I must say, the dogs you've raised are really loyal."
Just a few breaths after Roa's words fell, a sharp, piercing sound rang out, and a swarm of bats swooped down from the roof.
A blood-red Sword of Lighted by, and a petite figure stepped out of the blood light.
The girl had a small figure, delicate features, silver hair, and wine-red, enchanting eyes that stared straight at Roa. She was still wearing that evening dress, but the fabric in front of her chest was missing a circle, making her a complete loli.
"Heh, what a waste."
Shalltear glanced at the Six Arms kneeling on the ground, a fierce killing intent flashing in her eyes. She raised her hand and waved, and the necks of the six twisted into an exaggerated arc. Five of them died on the spot, falling to the ground with a thud, blood flowing from their necks, eventually wanting to gather towards Shalltear's head.
However, the blood ultimately didn't gather on her head. Her expression became a little unpleasant, as if she had remembered something very bad. She didn't use the Blood Pool skill at this moment.
Almost the moment he saw the other party, Brain Unglaus exclaimed, "You, why are you here?"
