Alright! Dressing up complete! Now, first, I'll contact Nigredo to confirm the exact location of the Black Scripture. Iri took out a message scroll.
This time, Iri was well-prepared before heading out, bringing quite a few message scrolls. However, this was Iri's first time using a message, so she wasn't sure if she could contact Nigredo.
"Aunt Nigredo..." Iri called out several times in her mind after activating the message magic scroll.
"Here...here, I'm here...Little Yi, behind you." Nigredo's voice finally came through. But in this situation, it's not the time to play urban legends like 'Mary-san from the Telephone'. Besides, Nigredo is still grounded; no matter how powerful she is, she couldn't possibly be truly behind me, could she?
At this moment, Iri felt a chill down her spine... She remembered the first time she met Nigredo, it was like this too; a chill down her spine and then she was right behind her.
Uh... I'd better not turn around. It's not because I'm scared!
"Aunt Nigredo, where exactly are the people you asked me to monitor right now? Have they done anything?" Iri asked.
"They are...not far from the town where Little Yi helped that ninja before. After they moved there, they set up camp. If you're asking what they did, one of them set up an item nearby that can enhance surveillance magic." Nigredo replied.
"They haven't discovered you're monitoring them, have they?" Iri became a little worried when she heard Nigredo mention an item that enhances surveillance magic.
If they knew someone had been monitoring them all along, they would definitely be on alert, and then her surprise attack might be greatly compromised.
Although without Death Knight, the Black Scripture is just a group of elite cannon fodder, Theocracy has many strange items in its possession, and they might just be carrying them, so it's better to be careful.
"Hehehe, they couldn't possibly discover me... I... I'm right behind them." Nigredo continued.
Uh... in a sense... Nigredo is even scarier than Albedo.
"Thank you, Aunt Nigredo. I'm hanging up now." Iri was about to close the message magic.
"Hehe! I saw all of Little Yi's heroic figure just now... Little Yi... so 'charming'." Nigredo's words came through again, and this time, it sent a shiver down Iri's spine.
Heroic figure just now? Was she talking about when she was slaughtering the First Prince's troops? But wasn't Nigredo monitoring the Black Scripture? How could she see her heroic figure?
Could Nigredo monitor two targets simultaneously?! Does that mean? She saw me changing clothes too?? This! What should I do!!
Iri immediately panicked. Iri didn't feel much about just being seen, even though Nigredo was a perverted peeping tom, she was still her aunt, but! The problem was, this person was also a figurine fanatic! The thought of her room full of various 'Little' Iri dolls gaining a bloody version of 'Little' Iri and a changing-clothes version of 'Little' Iri made Iri tremble uncontrollably.
"Aunt Nigredo! That... ah... it's cut off." Iri was just about to beg Nigredo to be merciful, but Nigredo had already hung up.
Uh... forget it. For something like this, to waste another message scroll, it just feels...
"Message Magic Activate!! Aunt Nigredo!!" Iri unhesitatingly pulled out another message scroll and activated it.
In a flash, Iri was once again teleported to the town where she had previously rescued Tia. Under the cover of night, Iri quickly 'felt' her way towards the direction Nigredo had mentioned.
Just now, she had managed to persuade Nigredo to abandon the idea of making a changing-clothes version of 'Little' Iri, but the bloody version was unavoidable. For this, Iri was forced to agree to visit her often on the fifth floor after this matter was concluded.
The thought of that room full of 'Little' Iri dolls made Iri shiver. Since she had agreed, she would occasionally make time to visit her.
Got it... With the help of Iri's senses, she quickly found the location of the Black Scripture. However, Iri didn't have any assassin-type skills, so she didn't dare approach them rashly.
Tia was discovered earlier, so if someone like her, who had no stealth skills, approached, she would be directly discovered, right?
It seems that after this is over, she still needs to go back and find Solution Epsilon to see what skills she can learn. It's always good to have more skills.
Huh? Iri only now realized that she might have inadvertently set two flags just now? "I'll go back to see you after this incident is over," and "I'll go back to learn after this incident."
She had a bad feeling, but according to the usual 'disposition', flags only work on supporting characters, and she was the protagonist! She came with flag immunity!
So, how to kill the Black Scripture? Although she only knew from Nigredo that they were a five-person team this time, she didn't know which five people had come.
She only knew from Tia that Death Knight was not present. The Black Scripture as the captain should be there, so Astrology Thousand Miles should not be there.
In the original work, Astrology Thousand Miles was responsible for monitoring Papa Ainz on the Katz Plains, so she shouldn't have come here.
Moreover, if Astrology Thousand Miles were here, she, with no stealth skills, would have been discovered by getting so close. It's not good to act directly when information is unclear!
Papa Ainz had said that PvP battles are actually intelligence battles. It's indeed not good to attack rashly when information is unclear, so she would use the lure method.
Tia was attacked only after getting close enough to overhear their conversation, which means they also have certain anti-reconnaissance methods. So, she would use this point.
Iri directly opened her small satchel. She was about to splurge on the magic scrolls she had saved up earlier. First, a Flight, then a Magic Effect Amplification, then a Focus Target.
Uh... it should be called Target Concentration. Then she pulled out a high-level teleportation scroll and held it in her hand. Alright! Let's go!
Iri flew directly into the air. Oh! This is what it feels like to fly by one's own power. But now is not the time to play. As she flew up, due to the effect of Target Concentration, the Black Scripture had already discovered her presence and began to be on alert.
This flight gave Iri a wider field of vision. With her excellent eyesight, she saw two members of the Black Scripture team on alert: one was the yellow-haired One-Man Army she had encountered before, and the other was the Black Scripture himself. They had already noticed her presence, so she would greet them! Ice Aura Level Three, Ice Blade Generation!
Iri generated an ice spear in her hand, aiming directly at the Black Scripture himself. "Take this, my Ice Spear Magic (Physical)!" Iri shouted in her heart, and then, using her arm strength, she flung the ice spear from a great distance.
