Ainz - Wraith Summon

Continuing with his preparations, Ainz used Create Lower-Tier Undead to create a wraith.

Take a look around and see if there is anyone watching me.

Following his orders, the wraith exited the room without opening the door. Since wraiths had astral forms, they were able to pass through walls. There were limits when it came to thick or dense obstacles, so they didn’t work in every situation, but the walls of this building posed no challenge.

Ainz focused his attention to his magic ears.

Could any thief, even one extremely good at hiding, stay completely still without moving so much as a muscle in the presence of an undead who had appeared all of a sudden scattering an aura of Fear? They would need enough concealment skills to evade the wraith as well. Of course, it wasn’t hard to trick a lower-tier wraith, but doing it all at once would be quite a feat.

In the first case, Ainz didn’t believe anyone was that capable. If someone like that existed in this country, they would have been sent to fight in the two most recent battles.

Still, I can’t rule out the possibility that the people of this country are still on guard against me and are hiding their hero. But given that woman’s personality, I highly doubt it. If there was someone like that around, I assume Demiurge would’ve told me about them by now.

But as soon as he finished the thought, he wondered if that was really true.

Was it possible Demiurge thought Ainz would know even if he didn’t inform him?

…Agh, the more I think about this, the more my stomach hurts.

If there was an oversight that big, he would have to brace himself and call Demiurge and Albedo together for a talk.

Soon the undead returned.

“Spot anyone?”

The undead replied, “Negative.” And Ainz didn’t hear anything strange, either.

“Got it. Then hide in the wall and patrol the area.”

Watching the undead enter the wall, Ainz made up his mind.
