Grand Foreigner (Chapters 1- 200)

Chapter 35

After the teleportation, Ainz took a few steps forward a little thoughtfully.

The plan seemed perfect to him.

First of all, he had to send his Servants and the army to attack the Witch, watching their battles from afar, studying their opponents and analyzing their abilities. Unknown Servants, possible hidden monsters of the Witch and, of course, Fafnir.

Ainz was not stupid - leaving the two Servants to fight with the arriving dragon, he first established observation with the help of several of his spells, in order to finally get information about his opponents.

And he was shocked to learn that the dragon summoned by the Witch was Fafnir. The Fafnir.

In Yggdrasil, there were several types of opponents that you can fight - ordinary mobs, players,and bosses - all of them differed in their abilities and powers, up to the point that some players, such as World Champions, could defeat three or even four level one hundred players in a battle, and some bosses were so weak that they could lose in a battle with even to some of the mobs in the game. However, in any case, there were three categories of opponents game-wise. And lastly there are World Enemies.

Throughout the game, there were only thirty-four named World Enemies. The final boss of the game, the World Eater, the final opponents of the three additions to the main game - the Twelve Seraphim of Sephiroth, the Seven Lords of Mortal Sins, the Five Rainbow Buddhas, a special opponent added to the five-year game - the Lord of the Seventh Heavens. And the Eight Great Dragons.

The World Eater was the final boss of the game and the most powerful of all possible opponents in the game, and in order to add additional significance to him in the eyes of the players, even in order to get to a fight with him, the players were forced to go through eight of his strongest subordinates, the Eight Great Dragons, each of which in itself was a World Enemy, requiring twenty to thirty players of the hundredth level even to attempt a battle, not to mention a victory. Each of these dragons was an incredibly powerful opponent with a large number of special abilities, various advanced tactics and many unpleasant surprises that awaited anyone daring to oppose them in battle. Eight different dragons, each of them was unique and extremely difficult to defeat, each of them had its own significant place in the lore and required a huge amount of quests in order to be able to fight them, so each of them was remembered by all the Yggdrasil players.

One of these dragons was the Dragon of the Primeval Force, the Golden Dragon - Fafnir.

To say that Ainz was shocked at the first sighting would be an understatement - his suppression of emotions had to be activated three times at the moment when he found out that his opponent was the Fafnir himself.

Of course, Fafnir was not the strongest of all the dragons, and he was extremely inferior to the World Eater - the creature that Ainz had once killed in battle - but he remained a World Enemy - in other words, a battle with less than twenty trained players of the highest level, with the right equipment and full knowledge of the fight was suicide.

Therefore, Ainz's plan formed quickly enough. If he cannot defeat Fafnir, then he simply will not fight him.

Ainz had to use the Servants as a distraction to get Fafnir out of its lair - and with the help of the army he could track down other possible opponents that the Witch had saved for the last battle - something stronger than wyverns and skeletons. At the same time, Serenity had to use her Presence Concealment in order to avoid the battle with Fafnir and arrive at the Witch's castle, so that Ainz could directly teleport to the Master who had summoned the dragon and destroy her before Fafnir got to him. When Ainz made the plan, it seemed perfect to him.
