*Stepping out of the alley, I find myself in a kind of backstreet square surrounded on all sides by apartment buildings. Sticking to the shadows, I carefully observe the area*

@ZAVAZggg

This architecture is unfamiliar to me.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Good. Now let's go.
*I start walking towards the alley entrance*

@ZAVAZggg

*Follows next to Demiurge*

Myriad Reality

Now...
*Stretching out my hand, I summon the staff back to me before casting Dark Warrior on myself*
Let us see what this world has in store for us.

*I turn to Demiurge*
Is there anyway you can hide your tail?

*He nods*
Of course my lord.
*Demiurge lets out a grunt as the tail becomes part of his body, disappearing from view*

*I nod*
Good. Now lets go. Oh and I no longer have need of your vampire brides Shalltear.

@ZAVAZggg

*Desummons them*
Taken care of, Lord Ainz.

Myriad Reality

*Demiurge in his classic reddish suit and glasses walks up from out of the tomb before bowing*
Indeed I am my lord.

*I nod and let my hand fall to my side*
Good. I have need of your aid.

*He nods and rises*
Of course my lord. But, if you do not mind me asking, does this have anything to do with the world item you seek?

In a way, yes.

I see. And will you be needing the services of the other guardian's?

*I shake my head*
No, but make sure to inform them of my absence and tell them to put them tomb into lockdown until I return. Except for Albedo. I don't want her to know about this. She might...overreact.

As you wish my lord.
*Demiurge goes off to complete his task and returns a few minutes later*

It is done my lord.

Good.
*I turn back towards the gate and walk to it, Demiurge following close behind. Stepping through it, we arrive back in the strange city*

*I look over to Shalltear*
You can stop maintaining the gate now, Shalltear.

@ZAVAZggg

Of course.
*Releases the magic channel*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*I nod and turn towards the gate as I let go of the staff, letting it to float in mid air in order to help Shalltear keep the portal open as I step through it and to the other side. Arriving on the first floor of the Great Tomb, I place two skeletal fingers to my left temple and attempt to forge a psychic connection with Demiurge*
Demiurge. Are you there?

@ZAVAZggg

*Continues channeling magic into the gate*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Normally regrouping would be best, but given how unstable this gateway is without our intervention-*gestures to the swirling portal*-I think it would be best if we simply brought Demiurge or one of the other Floor Guardians here.

@ZAVAZggg

*Nods*
Your wisdom is unending, Lord Ainz.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*I nod*
That is wise. But who else, specifically, would you bring to aid us? The gate can only be kept open for so long, even with our combined might stabilising it.

@ZAVAZggg

Would it be wise to regroup and gather our resources or would it be preferable to bring Demiurge?

Myriad Reality

*The gate opens fully and stabilizes*
There, it's open. Who do you recommend I bring through?

@ZAVAZggg

Mu strategies are mere gnats in the shadow of your wisdom, my lord. If I must make a recommendation, however, I would refrain from bringing Albedo.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*I nod and hold out the staff once more*
Alright.
*Space warps and shimmers as another gate begins to open in the same place as before*

@ZAVAZggg

*Feeds magical energy into the gate*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*I look up at you and then at the staff*
I'm not sure if that will work Shalltear. There is magic here, but it's...different to the system in the New World and YGGDRASIL. I suppose it couldn't hurt to try however...
*I hold the staff out before me*
Gate!
*The space between mm and Shalltear shimmers and warps slightly as a gate starts to open before faltering and finally collapsing in on itself*
Hmm...perhaps more magical energy is required for it to work. Shalltear, would you mind channelling some of your MP into the gate as I open it?

@ZAVAZggg

Of course, my lord.
*Holds out my hands*
