Chapter 2
Author notes : if you have checked the reviews , you know the back story of this overlord is a little different. Though I gave malak extra levels I made sure she is just a top class and powerful player ( not too much powerful)
Please enjoy the story and help improve it with your suggestions.
Unknown location
Malak-Al-Moot spent the several hours examining the surrounding environment and collecting information.
After she finally come to accept the truth that she was no longer in Yggdarssil but a real unknown world , she decided to check her skills as a warrior and magic caster.
Fortunately her spells and skills activated without a problem and her items also worked without any trouble.
" Now then , it might not be safe to be in an outside open plain like this. I better make a shelter "
She reached into her inventory and after some search drew out a small tent.
It looked very plain and small as a tent. Even a single adult would find it hard to sleep in it.
But that was just its appearance on the outside.
Inside the tent was big and spacious place that could easily house 30 people without a problem.
And it was also enchanted with a combination of camouflage and complete invisibility that made it very hard to detect.
Plus it had an anti-divination field around it that warned the owner if someone was within its 100 meter radius.
After siting in one of the rooms Malak pull out and item called the mirror of remote viewing.
It was a divination item often used to check surroundings.
After spending hours she finally found some settlement around a nearby river.
Said settlement appeared to be a small town filled with Beastmen.
All of those beastmen had strong bodies but they didn t appeared to have any valuable equipment.
There was a small and cruelly made road leading to the beastmen town.
She decided to follow it and see if there are any more villages or town nearby.
After going in the road direction for about 50 miles , she finally stopped as she saw a group of roughly 30 beastmen were moving toward town.
It seemed they were guarding a few cages filled with people.
A closer looked revealed that all those cage were filled with about roughly 40 human. Man , women and even some crying children.
" well this doesn t look good " Malak tought.
While she still didn t know the details . all those beastmen looked like carnivorous animals and those human were all clearly dreadfull of them.
Maybe I could gain some information if I could save those humans and capture some of those beastmen alive.
That said , it would very foolish if they are strong foes.
Having made up her mind she casted 'Greater teleportation' and got close to about 300 meters of them.
After casting ' bunny ears ' spell and activating her ' Ranger ' class ability she could clearly hear their words.
On the road to Zoastia saq lu tribe
They had been traveling for about 7 days from the border of the humans dragon kingdom to return home.
It was a long and tiresome way to travel even for zoastia.
Finally the leader of the group ordered them stop and take a break.
One of the guards said :
I am hungry! For the past week we had nothing to eat but jerky horse beef and rat!
Another on said :
" Yeah ! why can't we have some fresh meat?! "
Then his eyes fell on their human captives.
He clicked his tongue.
" What about them ? they are fresh. "
Suddenly their leader steeped forward.
" They are not for eating! Our tribe leader Saljar-sama ordered us to deliver them unharmed and unspoiled."
Another zoastia said :
" Unharmed ? "
" They are going to be sold as slaves to the mountain dwarfs in exchange for weapons and armors."
" Why should we even have to pay those little ones? We are already protecting them from the attacks of other demi-human tribes. They should be glad to give us weapons for that alone."
" That is saljar-sama order! If you dare disobey him , I will rip the flesh form your bones myself "
Suddenly one of the zoastia grabbed a human child ready to bite her.
" Just on little bite! a mouthful ! "
Before he could bite however a sword suddenly appeared and cut off his head.
The leader killed the one that wanted to eat the child in an instant.
The leader said :
" Looks like meat is back on the menu boys "
" Yeeeeaaahhh"
" ROOOAAARRR"
The zoastia all attacked their fallen comrade body and started to rip the flesh form his bones.
They couldn t care less about the fact that this was cannibalism.
They just wanted to eat some fresh meat soaked with blood.
That was simply in their nature.
A few hundred meter away
Malak watched and heard all of it.
It was quite clear that this were some savage and evil beings.
She casted another spell to verify their strength.
Widen magic / scan enemy
The results were immediately shown.
She , despite being undead , breathed as a sign of relief.
All those beastmen were about level 10 to 15. While their leader was about level 25.
If that was the case there was no need to worry about engaging them.
She pointed to the ground and used an undead summoning skill.
What appeared before her was giant red monster that was without eyes or skin.
It body was very muscular and it sharp teeth and claws could easily
dent steel.
It was a level 45 monster called " Greater fear hunter " or as YGDDRASSIL players called it ' Big licker ' because of its long and
sharp tongue.
It had high HP , and Agility but was low on defence. But it could regenerate form minor wounds and could spawn 7 level 20 familiars called " fear hunter " to aid it.
It also radiated a fear aura and would attack those who would be affected by fear first.
Hence the name fear hunter.
" Greater fear hunter , kill those beastmen and capture their leader alive . But do not harm the humans."
In the humans cage
Asar was a member of an adventure team that was hired to protect
the people of a border town form the beastmen raids.
But his team members were all killed in combat and he was captured alongside some of the town people.
He watched with utter horror and disgust as the zoastia begun to eat their fellow guard.
But soon he saw something that was far more scary.
A big red monster alongside of seven similar but smaller monsters
suddenly appeared and begun to savagely rip the throats of the
beastmen.
The big one didn't even used it's claws and instead ripped them in
half with it's big sharp long tongue.
Some of the zoastia tried to attack the big one but even if their
blades manage to scratch it's body , it's wounds healed in seconds.
Their leader managed to kill one of the smaller ones but he was
quickly caught by the big on tongue.
In just 2 minute all the beastmen were killed and their leader was
captured by the big monster.
Just as Asar thought it is going to be their turn he heard
a voice he excepted the least.
A female voice said :
Hunter! That s enough!
He looked at the sky and saw a figure.
She was wearing a black scale leather armor with dark green lines
and on top of that a masterfully crafted full plated armor that looked
even superior to the equipment of adamantite adventures.
Her dark green cape also looked like to be a very expensive magic item.
She also had a long beautiful sword around her waist.
And her beautiful face a long dark hair was that of a goddess.
But her green eyes were those of a battle veteran and were ablaze
with strength.
She stepped forward and toward the cages and said :
Don t worry , You are all safe know , So please be at ease.
She opened the cage and let them out.
After that Asar , still fearfull , asked :
Who are you? Why did you save us ?
She answered :
" My name is Malak-Al-Moot. I was traveling around here , when I saw
you who were captured by this savage beastmen , I came to
rescue you.
The humans still looked scared , constantly changing their
eyes direction form her to the monsters behind her.
Malak noticed this and sighed tiringly.
" There is no need to think too hard about it. I was doing this for a personal benefit as well.
Now .. may I talk with your representative?
Next chapter : Malak learns more about lands around her and will begin to search for a permanent settlement and a way to increase her strength by creating an undead army.
