Ainz - Create Fortress

No need. It’s not like I forgot a tent. I didn’t put one on the list because it was unnecessary… You know how Mare can create accommodations using magic?”

Judging from Shalltear’s gestures, she was familiar with the concept.

“Very good. Then, know that I can do the same. We could use an item like a Secret Green House, but that might be a bit cramped for this many people. Watch this.”

Ainz searched for an appropriate location. It didn’t matter if the ground was sloped, but it had to be an open plot with no large boulders in the way.

He found what he was looking for right away and began casting. He chose a tier-ten spell. Create Fortress.

Once the spell was completed, in the space where there had been nothing, an imposing tower nearly a hundred feet tall appeared, seeming to bite into the stars above with its dark silhouette.

It had thick double doors that seemed like they could repel even a battering ram. In order to keep any who would try to climb in at bay, the walls were covered with sharp spikes. Demon statues glared in the four cardinal directions from the top floor. To those looking up from below, their presence loomed.

This tall fortress, with its massive or even overawing presence, was surely worthy of the word towering.

“Let’s go.”

Ainz led the party to the iron doors, which opened automatically. Then he stood to the side and allowed everyone else to enter. In Yggdrasil, anyone from the same team would be able to open these doors simply by touching them. Anyone else who tried would be attacked. What would the doors do in this world?

Ainz had two undead remain outside. Then he ordered them to try to open the door once it was shut and shut it.

He waited, but the door didn’t open.

“…Am I the only one who can open these doors? Aura, try touching them.”

“Okay,” she said and reached out to touch them, but they didn’t show any signs of opening.
