Shizu (Doppel) - Negates Ainz's Magic

He chose the tier-ten spell with the most destructive power, Reality Slash. At the same time, he activated a skill that would strengthen its effects. If he tripled it, he could deal a ton of damage at once, but he figured that was dangerous when he didn’t know how much the doppelgängers could take. He wanted to avoid accidentally killing them in one hit.

“Maximize Magic—”

The moment he raised his arm, it was hit by an incoming projectile, and the spell dispersed. The mana he’d planned to use on it was wasted.

What?! Shooting to disrupt a spell? Is that a skill?

Whether it was due to his being an undead or his capability as a seasoned player, he was confused for only a split second. He immediately set about analyzing the attack he had taken.

Neither the evil lord nor Yuri nor Lupusregina had a power like this.

It could be the World Item wielder who brainwashed Shalltear, but…

If the Hanzos missed someone…

The one who would use projectiles was…

And she had skills that could obstruct spells…

“They tricked me!” Ainz shouted once he had the answer.

Yuri was closing in to punch, but he had magically raised his defense, so he didn’t need to be too careful about it. There was something more problematic he had to take care of.

So it was all a trap?! No, Yuri— Oh! When she said “here,” she meant the square! And the Hanzo said the Pleiades were here, too! Shit! I thought it was a weird way to put it if there were only two of them!

The realization came together in an instant.

It was Shizu who had just attacked him.

It wasn’t just Lupusregina and Yuri. Shizu was on this battleground as well. And probably Solution and Entoma. This city had a full set of Pleiades Doppels inside it.

“Twin Maximize Magic: Re—”

As he was trying to send a spell flying at Lupusregina, another bullet went through his arm. And the spell became pointless once again.

“Huh?”

This was impossible.

Even if once was possible, he couldn’t get his magic canceled twice. The level gap between him and Shizu was enormous.

Could he really be so unlucky as to have his resistance fail twice in a row? What were the odds of that happening? Or was this not luck but the natural outcome? For example, if his opponent wasn’t Shizu?
