Chapter 345 Upgrade, LV.7
"Put on high alert!"
With a command given, the Great Tomb of Nazarick fell into unprecedented tension, with guardians and monsters on each level on high alert, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Ainz and Albedo had already devised a plan to find Shalltear first.
However, they were horrified to discover that Shalltear Bradford's name had vanished from the member list without warning.
This situation can only mean one thing!
Shalltear has been killed!
For the Great Tomb of Nazarick, which had enjoyed a smooth and successful existence since its arrival in this world, this was nothing short of a heavy and chilling warning.
"hateful!"
Ainz's face darkened, and a mix of emotions—panic, tension, and anger—swirled in his mind. But as a green light, invisible to others, flashed by, he was forcibly calmed down by his racial traits and regained his composure.
"Hoo!" Ainz breathed silently. Sure enough, he wasn't the only one who had been transferred to this world, or rather, there were other unknown and powerful forces in this world.
We must be more cautious in our actions from now on!
Fortunately, there was still a chance to avert Shalltear's death.
Ainz and many guardians gathered in the throne room (the tenth floor) and activated a resurrection spell, consuming 500 million gold coins to successfully revive Shalltear.
"Lord Ainz? What am I doing—"
Shalltear slowly opened her signature blood-red eyes, which were filled with an unusual confusion.
Ainz's voice was deep and steady, "Shalltear, do you remember what happened before?"
Shalltear shook her head in confusion. "After I parted ways with Sebastian and the others, I continued to pursue the mercenaries, and then—there was nothing."
As soon as he finished speaking, the air between the thrones seemed to freeze. The red light in Ainz's eyes flickered slightly, and the hearts of all the guardians sank to an even deeper abyss because of that "blank memory gap".
On the other side, Roy completed his mission to hunt Shalltear, received his reward, and parted ways with the Dark Scripture forces and Brian, preparing to return to Orario.
Watching the departing, dark-skinned Holy Scripture troops, Roy secretly lamented that if these guys had been a little more arrogant, he could have rightfully taken away the beauty of the city and the kingdom.
It seems I scared the other person too much before.
Without the help of the Dark Scripture forces, dealing with Shalltear would not have been so easy. A gentleman loves money, but he acquires it honestly. Roy is no gentleman, but he wouldn't repay kindness with enmity.
A world-class item, capable of captivating cities and nations, equivalent to Freya's individual power, is still not enough to make Roy abandon all his bottom lines and principles to seize it.
Moreover, the resurrected Shalltear will lose her memories.
The fact that the information about the world-class item "Alluring Beauty" has not been exposed means that we can still cooperate with the Dark Scripture and continue to scheme against the Great Tomb of Nazarick, obtaining a steady stream of rewards through hunting.
As for now—
Let him process the reward first.
[Survival of Shalltear Bradfordren successful! Congratulations on obtaining 2800 attribute points, 2 Golden Treasure Chests, an Ability Draw Card, and a Dropper Spear!]
Name: Roy Level: 6
Strength: 965 → 1235 (SSS)
Endurance: 1235→1266 (SSS)
Dexterity: 998 → 1305 (SSS)
Agility: 999 → 1312 (SSS)
Magic Power: 1358 → 1666 (SSS)
Roy added attribute points, and soon a total of 1229 attribute points were consumed, bringing his LV.6 panel to its limit, where no more points could be added.
A super luxurious panel with all SSS ratings!
[Congratulations on reaching LV.7! You can now choose to develop your abilities as a Hunter, Healer, or Combo Attack!]
Healing significantly enhances the effectiveness of healing magic; an essential development skill for healers.
Combos, or continuous attacks, increase your own stats. As long as the combo is not interrupted, it can even increase indefinitely, provided your body can withstand it.
Roy skipped over the "Hunter" who was like a dog skin plaster and focused his attention on the other two development abilities.
The emergence of development abilities is related to the experiences and things encountered during this period. In the Underworld, using Riveria's magic to support an entire battle line, and with the blessing of the Underworld Soul Chasing skill, the thunder magic bombarded everything. It is not surprising that the development abilities will include healing and combos this time.
After much hesitation, Roy still opted for a combo attack.
Their own divine elixir has terrifying effects that can make up for the lack of healing abilities. In the heat of battle, if there is no time to even drink the medicine, there is no chance to release healing magic.
The effect of healing is far less than that of combos.
And when I think of the pleading looks my girls give me, it's as if they're saying: Don't take away my few remaining roles, Commander!
Roy couldn't bear to continue enhancing the healing abilities.
[LV.6 attribute points are incompatible with LV.7. The remaining 1571 attribute points have been automatically converted into experience points for development. Congratulations on your upgrade: Abnormal Resistance (F→E), Forging (D→C), Domineering Strike (G→F), Combo (I→G)]
As Roy watched his many abilities advance to the next level, a slight smile appeared on his lips. In battle, these abilities would all translate into real combat power.
Then, Roy's gaze fell on another panel. Shalltear truly lived up to her reputation as a LV.8 BOSS, as the rewards she dropped were the most generous ever.
Two golden treasure chests, an ability draw card, and a legendary dropper spear—it's worth the fuss.
adventure!
Roy simulated a sense of crisis in his mind, then activated his adventure development ability. The goddess of fortune descended from the sky and gently kissed his forehead, enhancing all his attributes, including hidden resistances, luck, and so on.
The main attribute is luck!
Roy didn't know if it would work, just like how he always used "Good Luck" when drawing cards. Maybe it was just a psychological effect, but what if it worked? He hadn't gotten anything good in a long time, so he had to try his luck this time!
Golden treasure chests can only be obtained from bosses at levels 6 to 9, and this time there are two of them.
Roy carefully clicked "Open Treasure Chest".
The Golden Treasure Chest has been opened!
[Congratulations on receiving a LV.9 trial card, an Absolute Magic Tome, ten bottles of Panacea, and one bottle of Antidote!]
[Congratulations on obtaining the Sky Battleship Blueprint, Antidote, Unlocking Potion, and ten bottles of Panacea!]

As two treasure chests radiating golden light opened, several panels popped up one after another, displaying a dazzling array of rewards that almost blinded Roy.
The unboxing method, based on superstition, actually worked!
Roy suppressed his excitement and checked the rewards one by one. Leaving aside the filler elixirs, the main rewards were mostly legendary.
"hiss!"
Upon seeing these rewards, even Roy couldn't help but gasp. The LV.9 trial card was far superior to the LV.7 trial card he had played with before; they were in completely different leagues.
The absolute magic book, the blueprints for the sky battleship, and the antidote further excited him.
The Elixir of Antidote can most likely remove the restrictions on the Celestial Elixir, allowing others to use it as well.
A glint of madness flashed in Roy's eyes as he looked at the "Ability Draw Card." It could draw a target from Shalltear. Pressing his advantage, his intuition skill made him vaguely realize that this was the best time.
[Ability draw card used!]
[Drawing in progress————]
Roy saw Shalltear's phantom appear before him, deconstructed layer by layer, each of her abilities transforming into a dazzling starlight, floating in the air.
Finally, a starlight fell into his body.
Congratulations on successfully transferring to a higher rank!
[Upper-Level Transfer: Performs a spatial transfer. The distance is determined by the mental energy consumed. It can carry other people, but the target must be willing, and the mental energy consumption is doubled. There is a chance of failure in special locations!]
Roy's eyes lit up, and he almost burst into laughter.
Without a doubt, I drew an SSR!
If we were to ask him which of Shalltear's abilities he found most appealing, it would undoubtedly be her High Shift and Teleportation abilities—two spatial abilities that are outrageously powerful!
Teleportation portals can teleport a large number of targets at once, and over greater distances. However, enemies may catch up before the portal closes, making them less useful in combat. It is more important to transfer large amounts of supplies.
The higher-level teleportation technique can only carry a few companions. The teleportation distance is shorter than that of a portal, but the teleportation speed is faster, and it can be used in combat.

The highest level among existing adventurers!
"call!"
Roy looked at his impressive stats panel and let out a deep breath. In three years, he had risen from LV.1 to LV.
7. This record is unbeatable!
Even Bell in the original timeline might not be able to break it.
Bell reached LV.5 in six months thanks to the skill "Single-minded Aspiration". The more one aspires to a goal, the faster one's growth rate will be.
However, as your level, experience, and skills catch up to your desired goal, your growth rate will slow down to a normal level, LV.5.
After that, it became difficult to maintain the original speed.
There's no comparison to a true cheater like him.
"Captain, what good thing happened?" Tiony asked with a coquettish smile, her arm around Roy's right arm.
The girls also noticed that the faint smile on Roy's lips had become even more pronounced.
"Has it been upgraded?" Liu's eyes flickered.
"Yes, thanks to you all!"
Roy smiled, his gentle gaze sweeping over the girls with their distinct styles: Ryu, Tione, Tiona, Algana, Baje, and Haruhime.
Without these girls, even with the Black Codex, it wouldn't be easy for him, at LV.6, to handle Shalltear, who was at LV.8.
"Captain, if you really want to thank us, repay us with your body!" The desire in Tione's eyes was undisguised, and his lips were close to Roy's ear, his breath sweet as orchids.
Amazonian girls are just that direct.
The warm breath tickled Roy's ears, and a nameless fire surged from his lower abdomen throughout his body.
"My husband!"
Algana and Baje licked their lips with their delicate, rosy tongues, like female leopards on the savanna seeking a mate, their eyes burning with desire.
Needless to say, the fox spirit is also incredibly gentle and affectionate.
"Cough! Cough!"
Roy felt a chill coming from behind him, so he coughed and pretended he hadn't heard anything. If Liu wasn't around, he would have turned into a big bad wolf and devoured these Amazonian girls who were teasing him.
Building a harem isn't that easy!
"Hmph!" Liu snorted coldly.
Roy quickly changed the subject, "This is a rare opportunity, let's go to the dungeon!"
His original plan upon entering the Overlord instance was to hunt down Ainz, Albedo, and Shalltear.
First, they joined forces with the Dark Scripture forces and used the World-Class Item, Allure, to control Shalltear. When Ainz and Albedo arrived, the controlled Shalltear joined them in hunting down the two men.
However, this plan only has a success rate of about 30%.
Ainz and Albedo possess superior teleportation and portal abilities, making them formidable escape speeds. At best, they can catch their opponents off guard; if they can't eliminate them quickly, then it's pointless.
Now that Ryu had him backed down, Roy decided to give up his ulterior motives and quit while he was ahead, knowing that caution was always the best policy.
However, since it was rare for so many people to gather together, the super fox spirit (Haruhime) didn't even get a chance to be used. Looking at the girls' expressions, they were eager to try, clearly not having had enough fun yet. Having reached LV.7, they were eager to adapt to the physical and mental deviations as soon as possible.
"Yay!"
Upon hearing Roy's suggestion, Tiony, Tiona, Algana, and Bajie couldn't possibly object. Their little faces lit up with excitement, and they cheered and rubbed their hands together, eager to participate.
The same applies to Ryu and Haruhime.
Unlike other clans that spend a lot of time and effort, they have spatial rings and can carry a lot of supplies with them, allowing them to enter the dungeon for expeditions at any time.
Roy laughed and said, "Grab me."
Tiony, Tiona, Argana, and Bajie were already clinging tightly to Roy, and these words were spoken to the shy and reserved Ryu and Haruhime. His hot, large hands grasped the two girls' soft, boneless hands.
The girls looked puzzled, but the next moment, their expressions turned to shock.
"Transfer to a higher position!"
Roy activated his magic, and an invisible spatial fluctuation swept out. Under the influence of this power, the outlines of everyone, including Roy himself and the girls, suddenly became blurred and transparent.
In the next instant! Everyone's bodies were instantly disintegrated as if by an invisible giant hand, turning into billions of magical particles that shimmered with pure light!
Light and shadow distort, everything flows backward!
With a speed beyond human comprehension, it tore through space and instantly traversed most of Orario!
call out!
When visibility improved, everyone found themselves in an alley near the Tower of Babel.
Beneath their feet lay a wide marble floor, and above them stood the towering shadow of the Tower of Babel, piercing the clouds. The spatial transfer was complete; from initiation to arrival, it took only a breath!
"Commander, what...what is this?"
The girls' reaction was even more intense than Roy had anticipated, erupting in excited shouts and almost throwing themselves at him, instantly shifting from the north of Orario to the center—a tactic never before seen.
Liu also stared intently at Roy with her beautiful eyes.
Roy laughed, "This is my new magic; it allows me to teleport other people."
The girls' eyes widened, their delicate jaws nearly dropping to the ground—it was spatial magic!
"Captain, you're amazing!" The girls' faces all showed admiration.
"Hehe, let's go!"
Roy laughed and took the lead, walking out of the alley and heading towards Babel Tower Square.
After showing off his skills in front of the girls, Roy's handsome lips curled into a faint smile, but he was far from as relaxed as he appeared.
He had intended to use "Superior Transfer" to teleport directly into the dungeon, but it failed.
The girls followed closely behind Roy as they arrived at Babel Tower Square, unsurprisingly attracting the attention of everyone present, who began to whisper among themselves.
The Astrea Familia is now a true top-tier group, attracting attention wherever they go.
The news of everyone's upgrades hasn't been officially announced yet, but countless rumors are already circulating outside, flying everywhere, after all, they've conquered the Underworld!
It is highly likely that the great achievement was accomplished collectively!
The Astrea Familia is unstoppable and shows signs of ascending to the top of Orario!
This is also why Roy didn't transfer over directly; transferring to a higher position is a rare trump card.
Mobility is often the key to victory!
Unlike the dungeon world, in Orario, the gods, adventurers, and the people are well aware of Roy and his group's strength, and no one dares to block their path.
The group successfully entered the underground city.
Upon entering the first floor, one can see an enormous cylindrical object, approximately five meters in diameter, radiating a steel-colored sheen.
This is a large dungeon elevator jointly built by the guild and the school district, together with many clans. Each piece is made of the hardest metal (ostrichite), and it can withstand the attacks of most monsters and harsh environments above the 37th floor!
The elevator is about five meters in diameter and can theoretically carry seventy or eighty people at a time. However, considering the supplies carried by adventurers, it can only carry about thirty or forty people into the dungeon each time it is used.
It's not that the school district and association don't want to build larger elevators; all the data has been rigorously calculated, and further increasing the capacity would exponentially increase costs and unknown risks.
The elevator in front of us looks more like a trial version.
If the subsequent economic benefits and effects exceed expectations, the association and school district will definitely expand further.
Clearly, this elevator became an instant hit upon its release. At the elevator entrance, numerous adventurers lined up, carrying large bags and bundles.
Currently, the elevator can only go down to the eighteenth floor.
But compared to the arduous journey down the stairs, the cost of taking the elevator is much more acceptable.
"Captain, let's take the elevator down too!" Tiona's eyes lit up, and she tugged at Roy, acting cute and charming. They had contributed a lot to building this elevator.
The girls were also very curious about this large elevator, a brand new way to conquer the dungeon.
"Okay," Roy agreed with a smile.
The Astrea Familia has a stake in this project. Every fee paid by the adventurers is distributed as dividends by the guild at the end of the year. They use the elevator, so it's a way of keeping the profits within the family.
Of course, they also have obligations to fulfill.
In addition to assisting in the construction of large elevators, high-level adventurers are also sent along periodically.
Setting up security at the elevator entrances on each floor is impractical; the monsters in the dungeon are endless, and even the strongest person can't withstand such an onslaught.
However, corresponding security measures must also be implemented.
Otherwise, if the elevator doors open and the adventurers step out, they'll be met with hordes of monsters, which would be a huge problem, as they'd be trapped inside the elevator.
There are also many clever people in the guild and school district who have adopted the measure of having high-level adventurers accompany them.
High-ranking adventurers are dispatched to accompany the adventurers using the elevator daily, ensuring their safety, at least for the short periods when they are outside.
Every member of a high-ranking family has a responsibility, and the Astrea Familia must also send out high-ranking adventurers.
Fortunately, the resurrection of Alyssa Rofer and others doubled the number of members in the Familia, temporarily alleviating the manpower shortage. Otherwise, Roy would have been very troubled if the guild kept coming over to ask for bodyguards for the elevator.
"Madman, Gale—seven people, eighteenth floor, I understand. The usage fee is 2.45 million Fali. Thank you!" The sweet-looking guild lady smiled professionally.
"Three hundred and fifty thousand falies per person, that's so expensive!" Tiona counted on her fingers, it was almost the price of a bottle of top-grade panacea.
Ryu, Tione, Haruhime, and the others all had similar expressions; if it weren't for the expedition, they probably wouldn't have chosen to take this elevator.
The guild member patiently explained, "The elevator usage fee increases progressively. The first five floors cost 3,000 Faris, and the fee for each subsequent floor increases significantly due to high maintenance and security costs. Please understand."
"For example, today's elevator companion is Ais Wallenstein, a high-ranking adventurer from the Loki Familia. She will protect your safety throughout the journey."
The accompanying high-level adventurers also receive a daily wage; in general, the cost is ultimately borne by the adventurers themselves!
"Ais, it seems we don't need her protection," Tiona muttered softly.
As neighbors, they had a good relationship with many members of the Loki Familia next door, such as Ais, Riveria, Alyssa, and Anachitti.
Boom!
Tiony pinned him against the wall, asking, "Can this security fee be refunded in cash?"
The guild lady maintained her professional fake smile, a few beads of cold sweat appearing on her smooth forehead. Of course, she recognized them as members of the Astrea Familia!
Her strength is no less than that of "Sword Maiden", and may even be stronger. She doesn't need Ais Wallenstein's protection at all!
The problem is that whether the security fees can be refunded in cash is not something a lowly employee like her can decide; it requires the approval of her superiors.
"You two, don't cause any trouble for the guild lady." Roy picked up his two rascals, tossed them aside, and went down to the eighteenth floor in one breath. With a LV.5 bodyguard, 350,000 Fali was actually not bad.
Ryu stepped forward and stamped the seal of his clan.
For large clans like theirs, with hundreds of millions in their guild accounts, most public facilities can be accessed by facial recognition, so there's no need to carry cash with them.
The guild lady gave Roy a grateful look and bowed slightly, "Have a safe journey."
Ding!
At that moment, the elevator that had sent the adventurers down returned, emitting the standard elevator announcement sound.
The elevator doors slowly opened, revealing only a tall, blonde beauty inside. She was expressionless, seemingly cold, but actually quite naive.
Ais looked at Roy, who was surrounded by six beautiful girls, and thought he looked just like those gods and adventurers who slept around in the pleasure district with women on their left and right.
"So Roy was a delinquent after all —"
