Pleiades - VS Shark Cyclone + Reality Slash

Flying toward Lupusregina, Ainz cast Reality Slash.

This time there was no disruption from Shizu, and blood spurted from Lupusregina’s body.

“Widen Magic: Shark Cyclone.”

He created an extra-large tornado and sent it to the rear where it would catch Yuri and the evil lord. He could use it to buy time, since it would obstruct their view while creating a disturbance. He had come up with the plan to create the tornado before using Nuclear Blast to cut off Shizu’s line of fire and take out Yuri first, but he figured the evil lord would have no trouble getting through it. He judged this timing, when everyone was confused, to be most effective.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Entoma moving a crumbling pillar out of her way as she stood up.

It was unclear what had happened to Shizu, whom he hadn’t managed to spot yet. If she was trapped under some rubble, that would be great.

“He’s over here! Stop him!” Solution yelled from in front of Lupusregina, but Yuri and the evil lord couldn’t hear her over the roar of the wind. Yuri was on the move, desperate to avoid being blown away by the tornado. Some classes could use magic or skills to teleport or go incorporeal and escape with no trouble, but Yuri didn’t seem to have any of those abilities.

Of course, that meant she had strengths in other areas.

After this battle, we’ll all learn what sort of equipment changes and preparations we should make. No…

The real Pleiades might have handled everything like experts. These were only doppelgängers who had copied their abilities. Their combat prowess had to be inferior to the real combat maids.

***

The evil lord and Yuri must have made it past the tornado, because Ainz saw them searching for him. Following up with another Nuclear Blast would have been a good plan except for the possibility of killing Lupusregina.
