Grand Foreigner (Chapters 1- 200)

Chapter 135

Ainz was angry.

For the first time since the death of Medusa, and for the second time since his stay in this New World, Ainz was angry.

Very, very angry. Furious even.

The loss of a WCI, a cheat among cheats, an item that alone could raise the player to the TOP level, was a huge blow for Ainz. A blow to his unquenchable thirst for collecting new things. A blow to his curiosity, which seeks to analyze the most dangerous and effective abilities of this world. And, of course, a blow to his desire to increase his own fighting abilities.

Once upon a time, when Ainz Ooal Gown was still called Nine's Own Goal, and was at the height of its power, one of the WCI in the guild's collection was stolen.

The conflict that arose from the incident was immense. So much so that one of his guild members, annoyed by such a failure, stopped playing Yggdrasil altogether, accusing Touch Me and his inept guild leadership as the cause of losing such a valuable item.

Subsequently, this became one of the main reasons why Touch Me left the post of guild master, giving this role to Ainz and thus was the main catalyst for the birth of Ainz Ooal Gown.

Of course, Ainz had not lost one of his WCI. That would merit... quite the response. But had only failed to receive one of the WCI of this world that he had coincidentally found, which softened the blow a little, but the resentment and anger he felt at Tesla could not disappear completely.

The death of Jack was a huge problem for Ainz. Not only did he lose a very rare opportunity to research the undead of this world, and perhaps even have the very rare chance to communicate with one of the representatives of the highest race of ghosts, his minion was destroyed. And not one of the mindless and impersonal summoning that he could summon a dime a dozen, but a very real Servant, a unique one at that.

However, Ainz could at least assuage the anger a little that the captured Jack was not one of 'his' Servants. So, formally speaking, no violation of Ainz's own rules about protecting his Servants had occurred. Besides, Ainz was not even sure that he could have taken Jack out of this Singularity without her being connected to Chaldea. But it certainly did not serve as a remedy to Ainz' anger.

It's like finding a gold bar in the middle of a road. It's not like he had spent any energy in finding such a thing, but losing it would still sting somewhat.

And, lastly, the thing that angered him the most, of course, was that his Servants were injured, beaten and exhausted. Which, in general, was relatively expected and that none of 'his' Servants died means that he didn't really have a reason to go on a murderous rampage. But had he hadn't interfered, they would have all died... And that pissed him off like nothing else.

Of course, Ainz understood that receiving injuries in battles were inevitable. But the realization of just how close it had been for him to lose them all, evoked a great anger in his soul. A great anger towards himself and towards his opponent.

In other words, if for example only one of the three things had happened. Say for instance, his Servants almost dying or the lost WCI. Ainz would exhale heavily and look at his opponent seriously.

If for instance, two of the three events happened at the same time, Ainz would clench his fists with anger bubbling inside him, barely suppressed by his skill, and then would start fighting somewhat seriously. He for example might use one of his Super-Tier spells to show his doomed opponent just how angry he was.

But, for good or ill, the three factors had come together at once. And so Ainz was unbelievably angry. He won't be making this 'King of Kings' death short in any way. Just like Euryale and Stheno, his death is going to be long and traumatic. There would be no mercy.
