I dont own overlord.
Interrogating Evil Eye
Kits was sitting inside his room with his eyes closed. He was concentrating in his [Area Scan] spell.
He was keeping an eye on Blue Rose and its group, whom he had marked earlier. They were still sitting together in at adventurer's guild.
He was waiting for an opportunity. After few hours, he mumbled.
"Finally….."
The Blue Rose team had started moving.
He opened his eyes looked at his hand which had gloves on and mumbled [Activate]. This activated his doppelganger ring.
His form started changing from human to white ghost.
He smiled looking at himself in the mirror.
"Well, I am still not able to read my own expression in this form."
It was easier to read expressions of beings such as humanoids and others who actually had a facial structure but very difficult to see the same in others.
He swapped few of his rings, satisfied with himself started concentrating again.
This time two of them, Tia and Tina went in particular direction. Gagaran and Lykus remained at the guild's ground floor and Evileye was at guilds first floor, probably in their room.
Kits had no intention to waste time.
He activated his 10th tier spell [Erase presence].
One of the best of his assassin class spell.
He simply activated [Greater Teleportation] and was teleported outside Evileye's inn.
He could not feel any kind of anti-divination spells activated there.
"Seems like my Erase presence was a waste," Kits thought.
He floated inside the room through the walls in which Evileye was reading book.
He saw a face of a twelve year old child, but he wasn't surprised. She was neither able to see nor sense him.
Without wasting time, he simply targeted spells on evil eye. [Control Species], [Greater Charm Species], [Greater immobilization], [Greater Control Will], [Truth speech], [Compel Tongue], [Stabilize Mana]
He wanted neither to take any chances nor waste time.
Evileye who was reading the book was now in a state of trance.
Satisfied with the effect of his spells, he casted another spell [Summon: Interrogation Chamber],
Then he activated few spells on himself [Greater Psionic Powers], [Greater Control Influence],
Kits could have easily transformed into a demon using his doppelganger ring and used [Hellgate], or [Torture chamber] but it was not required against such a low-level vampire and he also did not want to leave any aftereffects.
Then Kits spoke.
"Are your team members going to come up here?" Kits asked looking at Evil eye.
Without moving or any other expression, she simply said "Yes"
She was still looking at the book in her hand.
"So how much time we have here?" Kits inquired.
"15 minutes".
"Will they be able to detect changes in your ki and mana flow?"
"No"
"Good", Kits thought. "Then, tell me everything about yourself".
"When I was human I was called Keeno Fasris Inberun. Later, people called me Landfall. Now people know me as Evileye."
"Wait Landfall? I have heard this name before, wasn't landfall killed by thirteen heroes?" Kits thought.
"How old are you?" Kits asked.
"More than 250 years" Evileye said.
Kits mentally smiled; he has found a perfect specimen for gaining information.
"Tell me about your fight with thirteen heroes," Kits asked
"I never fought them; I joined their group against the Evil Deities'."
Kits was surprised with this new info.
"Tell me everything about thirteen heroes and Evil Deities."
….
Kitsume took a seat next to evil his eye gleaming with curiosity. He never met someone acquainted with these so called legends before.
After this Kitsume asked various question to evileye on various topics for next 15 mins.
"Hmm I gained good amount of information," Kits thought.
After 15 minutes when he sensed someone approaching towards the room. Kits activated another spell
[Erase memory: 16 minutes]
Kits simply deactivated his spells and floated out of the room.
Then he activated [Greater Teleportation] passed though it and was now safe in his room.
He had now gained new information about the power levels of the strongest beings of this world that had existed earlier.
He changed his form to a human again. Changed his rings and clothes and seated himself on his bed.
"So Rigrit Bers Caurau is the strongest one in this world. Interesting. Stronger than Platinum Dragon Lord." Kits thought and smiled.
"I knew Evileye was a Vampire Princess level. I never thought that she is a Sorcerer and ground Elementalist."
"She said she is wearing an enchanted ring to conceal her status as a vampire and considered players as another race." Kits laughed.
"So two of the thirteen Heroes were players. Hmm, they had a sad ending. Still I don't know if players could be revived." Kits mumbled
"I came to know much deeper info on these Demon Gods who were taken down one by one by these Thirteen Heros". Kits thought.
Demon Gods were not beings originally from the New World, much like the Six Great Gods and the Eight Greed Kings. They were extremely powerful according to the New World's standards, requiring the Thirteen Heroes to face and destroy each of them one by one. While at the same time, the demon gods were not all equally powerful as they have been defeated in different ways.
However, most of them, if not all, did not exceed level 60. Some were even a lot weaker.
"I knew Platinum Dragon Lord was inside a guild base but Platinum Dragon Lord took up residence in the former guild base of Eight greed kings and took on the task of guarding their magic items to ensure no one would ever be able to misuse them." Kits mused.
"Seems like I will try for his little treasure later." Kits smiled evilly thinking of laying his hands on a valuable item.
Kits never created his own NPC's in Yggdrasil. He instead, considered upgrading his own items and stats. As such when players kept themselves busy by upgrading and did various dungeons and events for getting good stuff for their NPC's kits always did the same for his collection. Hence, he had various items for each of his avatar, which he could take using his doppelganger ring. This had greatly improved his survival capabilities and efficiency even in extremely dangerous situations.
"Seems like every few hundred years players do come to this world. However, why are they popping up in different times? Was the leader a rookie in Yggdrasil?"
The leader of the thirteen heroes; the hero was just an ordinary person. Although that person was weaker than anyone was, the hero became the strongest by endlessly swinging a sword despite being covered in wounds. The hero possessed a power that could rise without end. Evileye knew that the was a player, but didn't knew much about his past life.
"I hope I had taken atleast level 1 scribe skills." Kits looked sad.
It was difficult to remember everything and he could miss on a point. Hence, he had to come back and note down anything important or interesting information in his small diary kept securely in his personal dimension.
He took out a magical pen, which used negligible amount of mana as an ink of the user and started to update his new findings in his diary.
· "Leader" of the Thirteen Heroes. (Player)
· Rigrit Bers Caurau
· Magic Craftsman
· Dark Knight
· Izaniya
· Lord Warrior of the Air Giants
· Loyal Elf
· Landfall now Evileye of Blue Rose.
· Platinum Dragon Lord
"Damn, I forgot the other names." Kits mumbled in frustration.
"Is Rigrit, who is still in touch with Evileye, or Magic craftsman a player?" Kits was a little confused.
{For readers: As far as Kits is concerned, he was not the type of person to write his daily routine in his diary. He used his diary to write down his new findings and many other things of importance in his diary for future reference. Moreover he didn't had any notebook/ Palmtop/ memory cells (its 2126 after all) in this world}
After updating various columns adding new columns and new pages, he sighed.
"It was a complete luck that I stumbled on Evileye". He said
Apparently, he was already wary of Evileye as she was a vampire and would have questioned her even if he had not met her earlier. Now that feeling of wariness had ended.
"So one of the Eight Greed kings left a Player Encyclopaedia. Damn, she wasted my time describing as if it was a world item. What was it? Ahh Nameless Book of Spells", he mumbled.
"If that book can update itself then it's probably a World item. Hmm that city is quite far"
The city kits was referring here was the floating city in the desert called Eryuentiu, also guild base of Eight greed kings.
Kits was now looking at the page reserved for updating details on Eight greed Kings which was right before the page reserved for Thirteen heroes.
The description on the top read as follows:
Eight Greed Kings: Second group of YGGDRASIL players to be transported to the New World after the Six Great Gods and before the two players of the Thirteen Heroes. Fought among themselves and killed each other.
Some could possibly revive after death, though they become weaker and weaker after repeating the revival. This might be due to the revival penalty of YGGDRASIL.
It had taken about a number of ten Dragon Lords to defeat one member of the Eight Greed Kings.
If Eight Greed Kings had not attempted to dominate the world, the stronger races would have already annihilated humanity.
Not all were strong nor were all-human.
Kitsume had collected good amount of information from his previous travels and kept on updating acquired info accordingly. He was anxious to know more and if any of the players were around. However, he was also sceptical to let them know about his own existence.
He neither had any interest in being a hero nor as a villain in this world. He simply wanted to find a player who had levels as a krons magic caster.
"Seems like Ainz owl Gown is the only lead I have at present."
Kits looked outside his window and it was early morning. It was a beautiful sight after all. There were only few people on the road.
"Time to have a morning walk"
Morning Walk
Kits then took a bath, changed his clothes and went outside for a morning walk.
While strolling around through the streets of the capital a thought popped up his mind.
"What was that item Jaldabaoth looking for?" he mumbled.
He smiled and looked for a place so that no one looked at him while transforming. After stumbling upon a good spot, he changed his appearance to a ghost and activated [Hide Presence].
He then floated towards the castle. His target was the King of this country.
After all, most probably the King was the person who would have known where that item was kept. Kitsume had never seen that item so he could not use any of his scrolls or any other detection magic to find the item. Hence, this was the only way to find that item in the shortest possible time.
After floating through the air above streets and houses he reached the lawn infront of the castle.
"Where to find this King?" he thought.
He was well aware about the shadow demons as he could clearly sense their presence. Moreover, he had no intention to confront them before knowing whom were they working for. For some time kits simply floated through the castle walls via various rooms but was not able to find the king.
"Damn I don't even know how that guy looks like. Hope he is wearing his kingly attire".
After moving through various rooms and not able to find the king, kits took a decision, "I will need some help after all".
He went back to a room where an old man was sitting alone. His eyes were red. Looked like he was sobbing and was in a state of grief.
Kits thought for a moment, "Is this guy even strong enough to handle my interrogation?"
Deciding that he was not worth the risk kits simply floated from the nearby wall towards the maid that was working in one of the rooms.
When he reached behind her, he activated his spell. [Greater Charm Species]
"Can you take me to the King?"
"Ofcourse, but Why can't I see you?"
"Ah don't worry friend. It's my new experiment; I just want to show the King its success."
"Oh, please follow me."
After moving via few corridors, the maid took kits infront of a room.
"So the kings here?"
The maid nodded
"Thanks you can now resume your work."
[Erase memory: 10 mins]
After the maid left kits simply passed through the door and was back in the room of the same old man.
"Damn, this old man is the King. He doesn't look good"
Kits here was referring to the overall state of the King whom he had seen earlier and decided not to question.
After the war, the King Ranpossa III was full of grief and despair; he had fallen into a state of extreme mental distress. His health had also deteriorated significantly.
Kits used his spells. [Greater Charm Species], [True Speech] etc on the old man and asked.
"Are you the King Ranpossa III?"
The man simply nodded.
Kits took out a bottle of a red liquid from his personal dimension and asked him to drink it.
The healing portion will take care of his health complications but won't do anything meaningful against his mental fatigue.
"Well he might be able to atleast answer my questions." Kits thought
"So can you tell me anything about Ainz Owl Gown?"
After hearing many cursing words about Ainz, Kits simply concluded that the King literally have no clue and had lesser information compared to Blue rose.
He sighed.
"Did you find the item Jaldabaoth was looking for?" he asked.
"Yes, it's kept securely at the basement of Magicians guild".
Taking few more details and having got his answer Kits simply deactivated his spell on the king, erased his memory and floated out of the castle.
It was afternoon and was the time he had given to Richard for having lunch at the inn. So Kits returned to the merchants' inn.
Chat with Richard
The inn was a multipurpose place for merchants. Here they could conduct meetings, have drinks, snacks and even lunch and dinner. Along with rooms at first and second floor for those merchants who were from outside the city.
Kits walked towards the table where Richard was sitting with someone.
"Mind if I join in?" Kits smilingly asked looking at Richard.
"Ofcourse, we were waiting for you."
"Hello I am Kitsume a mercenary from Republic". Kits introduced himself to the new guy sitting with Richard.
"Ah yes, Richard told me about you. I am Rock also a mercenary in this city"
"Which rank?" kits inquired
"Gold" Rock stated and gestured towards kits to state his.
"Oh, I am a platinum ranked but might get upgraded during my next…." Kits stated.
"Well enough introductions, I have an important information to share." Richard said interrupting kits.
Both Kits and Rock looked at Richard curiously.
"Well yesterday a guy came from E- Pespel who had some new information on Ainz Owl Gown." Richard stopped after saying this much.
"And?" both Kits and Rock were now frowning looking at Richard for creating suspense.
"Well Blue Rose Tia was the one who met him yesterday night. So, I don't know the details."
"Where is that guy now?"
"Oh he had already left back to his city. But I requested Lakyus sama to tell us about it."
"Oh that's why you called me, do they need more money?"
"They probably refused to give him the details." Kits thought.
"Ah no, they said they will share this information with you for free".
"Oh thanks Richard, so when can we meet them?"
"Today evening". Richard said.
"Well let's have lunch first. I am starving." Rock gestured towards the food plate in the hands of the waiter, meant for other customers
"Ah yes."
The trio had lunch and both Rock and kits talked about their adventures as a mercenaries. Of course, only about those missions of which they could speak off. Mercenaries' were involved in illegal stuffs too but that did not kept them from trying to know others.
Even though the trio were walking towards the adventurers guild Kits was sceptical if Blue Rose was aware of his small adventure yesterday night.
"Well probably not", Kits was deep in thought.
The trio reached the adventurers guild and then met all the blue rose members at the same place as yesterday.
The Blue Rose members were already familiar with all three of them and simply started to talk.
Gagaran continued her chat with Rock as if teasing him.
Kits simply sat quietly without disturbing them.
Obviously kits was not interested in there chat but also did not wanted to disturb them so he sat quietly.
After some time talks went to the direction for which Kits was actually here.
"So what information did you gain?" Richard asked.
"Well the man said that Ainz owl gown treats every living and undead equally in his country."
"You mean are they all slaves?" Rock asked.
"Actually none of them are slaves. He has extended the policy of no slavery to non-humans too." Tia stated.
"Oh" Richard made a sound.
Kits was deep in thought trying his best to figure out Ainz owl Gowns true intentions.
"He also said that Ainz Owl Gown is not an ordinary lynch but an Overlord as well as the leader of Supreme Beings. I don't know what he meant" Tia stated giving stress to the word supreme beings.
As soon as she completed her statement Kits was deep in thought. "Wait what? Supreme Being's? Is'nt that the same shitty code that players simply copied for NPC's to be referred as? Overlord?" he thought.
kits mumbled accidentally "Ah yes?" in a jolly manner as if figuring something out.
Kits was actually referring to the word Overlord species but they mistook him.
All seven of them (5 members of blue rose, Richard and Rock) were now looking at kits as if he was hiding something.
Kits was now in trouble, as he did not know what to say.
"Ah no, errr sorry", kits said in an apologetic manner cursing himself for his own stupidity.
"So what do you know about Supreme beings". Tina said
"Well it's a long story and I don't know how to explain. I am sorry. So what else did that guy say?" Kits tried to divert the topic from him.
"Well we have a lot of time with us. So kindly care to explain." This time Lakyus said in an imposing manner.
"Seems like I have no other way to get out of this without bullshitting." Kits thought.
"We know that Gods exist right?" Kits said
The others nodded.
"They are beings of higher plane than gods" kits thought that this might be enough explanation and stopped speaking.
But unexpectedly, except Richard and Rock none of the Blue Rose looked surprised or even doubted Kits statement.
To this Rock looked angrily asked kits. "What do you mean?" Kits didn't knew what to say. Rock being a warrior was no good as a magic caster but he was a believer of six great gods.
To this EvilEye came to kits rescue and said.
"I know that players can be stronger than gods."
"What?" Richard didn't know what else to say after such revelation from an adamantium class adventurer.
Kits at this moment decided to keep his mouth shut.
"So who is stronger Player or Supreme Beings?" Tina asked.
"I don't know" Evileye stated and looked towards Kits as if to get some input.
Kits felt as if it was a setup to get info out of him.
"I don't know, but I have a hunch that Supreme beings are stronger." Kits said in a confused tone. He didn't want to give out more info.
Finally, the topic changed thanks to Richard and all of them discussed various other topics in which Kitsume was not interested in but tried to keep his relevance in those discussions.
Jaldabaoth's item
After this long meeting and dinner, Kits came back to his room in the inn.
So that overlord guy was the leader of Ainz owl gown" kits smiled.
"Ah, I forgot I still have to look for that Jaldabaoth's item." Kits thought.
He again changed his form and then floated towards the magicians' guild to look at the item.
He went straight to the basement and after some effort and taking some help from a worker there and later erasing his memory.
Kits found the desired item covered by the divination magic barrier.
He simply picked up the item passing himself through the barrier while remaining invisible. Obviously, the magic barrier was nothing compared to his form. He did not even needed to use any of his spells against it.
He picked up the item. It was a cruder looking demon statue, holding three gems in its hands.
"Greater Item Identification."
If Kits had a definitive face in this form, his facial expressions would be changing the more he came to know about the item description.
Name: Experiment
Uses: none.
Magic items: 3 gems imbued with spell "Armageddon Evil"
Creator: Ulbert Alain Odle's
"What is this..? Experiment ? From Yggdrasil" kits smiled
He was shocked to see the creator of the item's name and he was literally laughing at Ulbert's device.
Kits had a respect for Ulbert and knew the he was a man of passion but the device in his hand was useless.
"Well seems the name is correct after all. A prototype."
He placed the item in his personal dimension deactivated his spells on his magicians guild helper, erased his memory and floated back to his room at the inn.
"Is Ulbert here in this world?" kits thought.
"Ulbert showed me the item he created with 6 gems so this one is definitely a prototype"
Kits was aware that Ulbert is not the type of person to keep useless items.
"Why was Jaldabaoth after it?"
The gems were imbued with Armageddon Evil spell but the three were not enough to activate the same due to lack of data. Hence, the item itself became useless.
"Is that for some personal reason? Wait is that Ulbert's NPC? Or just Ainz Owl Gown's trick?"
"Seems more like some plan in action."
Kits who was in his human form was visibly shaking as he tried his best to connect the dots. He calmed down decided to connect it step by step.
"Ainz Owl Gown, Jaldabaoth and Momon " Kits thought.
Jaldabaoth description had no resemblance with Ulbert so him being a NPC was most probable.
Both Ainz and Jaldabaoth are connected and Ainz is leader so most probably Ulberts NPC will follow him too. {Kits knew about Ains being a leader from his second encounter with Blue Rose and group.}
Momon fought Jaldabaoth, which raised his fame.
Therefore, he may or may not be in Ainz actual group.
So either he is a NPC or a Player related to Yggdrasil. Kits knew Momon's links with Yggdrasil as Evileye told him that Momon could identify the Yggdrasil area denial high level spell. The second probable outcome shook him to his core.
"Was it a plan? Momon working for Ainz as an enforcer later?"
