Runeion: it is an interesting idea, having her read the skill book instead of absorbing it, I have something of an idea involving skill books in the future, and this might just add to it. Thanks for the idea


Field outside nearby village

"Sister" a little girl says shocked as she sees her older sister get slashes in the back with a sword. The soldier come closer and moves to strike them both down but stops

.

"What"

"What is that?"

.

The two sisters look up to see a dark red portal behind them. From it emerges Alice with her wings spread an her purple tattoos out on display, she strikes the ground with her staff and Carnage and Toxin emerge behind her with their wings out

.

"Monsters" one of the soldiers says

.

Alice looks at them bored before looking at Carnage and gesturing to the soldiers

.

Carnage holds out his hand towards one of the soldiers

.

"[Grasp Heart]"

.

A translucent heart appears in his hand and he closes his fist around it, crushing it. The soldier falls over with a thud

The remaining soldier holds up his sword and takes a step back in fear

.

"So you're fine chasing little girls around but were too much to handle?" Alice says with a glare

"Well, since you're here, you're going to help me with my experiments" Alice says looking to Toxin and gesturing to the remaining knight

"[Fell Dragon Lightning]" Toxin says as black lightning forms between her hands before shooting towards the soldier in the shape of a dragon

.

"Pathetic, a mere fifth tier spell is enough to kill them, I expected more, though in reality I should have known this was the only outcome" Alice says in a bored tone. She walks over to the soldier's body and decides to try another new spell

.

"[Create Middle Tier Undead: Death Knight]"

.

A black fog descends on the body before sinking into it and covering it in a black sludge and growing into a large skeleton with grey armor with a horned helmet and a large great sword

.

"Death Knight, attack anyone in the village wearing this armor" Alice says gesturing the other body

.

It lets out a guttural roar before taking off towards the village

.

"Cool Mama" Toxin says in awe

"If that middle tier, what are high tier undead going to be like" Carnage says in excitement

.

Out of the gate emerges Albedo in full black plate armor and a large axe in her hand

.

"I am sorry for making you wait but my preparations took more time than anticipated" Albedo says in an apologetic tone

.

"Don't worry yourself over it, this is merely a test right now, gauge the strength of the enemy and all that, no reason not to be cautious though, just in case" Alice says

.

"Understood, what should we do with these lower life forms" Albedo asks referring to the two sisters

"For now the soldiers in the armor are our opponents; you look injured take this" Alice says handing a red health potion to her. She looks at Alice for a moment, focusing on her wings before drinking it. The wound on her back closes and she looks at them shocked

.

"I am a magic caster; I saw you in trouble and came to help you, don't worry about the wings too much" Alice says offhandedly

.

"Albedo if you would be so kind" Alice says gesturing to the two sisters

.

She walks over and holds up her hand and a magic circle appears before another appears over top of it

.

"Anti-Life cocoon, Wall of protection from arrows" Albedo says as a green dome of energy surround the two

.

"I'm not good with defensive magic, these should protect you as long as you stay here, oh and if you need more then here" Alice says as she tosses two tusk shaped horns at them

.

"Blow the horn and it will summon an army of goblins to do your bidding, use them wisely" Alice says as the four of them walk away

.

"Um, thank you for saving us, what's are your names?" one of the sisters asks

.

"Hmm, what to go by this time, more than one of us so can't be Ainz Ooal Gown" Alice thinks to herself

.

Alice telepathically talks to the children before deciding on what the three will go by

.

"Remember it well and tell everyone of our powers, I am Masquerade, the two behind me; the boy is Carnage and girl is Toxin"

"Wonder how memory magic works in this world" Alice says

.

Alice waves her hand and the two pass out unconscious, she pulls a familiar blue mask out of her inventory before placing it on her face and it changes her into the original male version of Masquerade

.

"Guess, Venom's still too weak to complete the full transformation. That's ok though" Masquerade says as he waves a hand over Carnage and Toxin and identical copies of the mask appear on their faces to conceal their identities.

.

Masquerade goes to the two sisters and changes their memories so that the two saw the masks and not their faces. They all put up the hoods on their tactician coats to further strengthen the disguise.

.

The group fly's towards the village to see the people gathered in the center while the soldiers try to fight the Death Knight unsuccessfully before being cut down

.

"Stop Death Knight, you've served me well" Masquerade says as they fly down to the ground near in their disguises

.

"My Name is Masquerade; it is a pleasure to meet all of you"

"Do not worry about my Death Knight, no harm will come to you now, let your owner know of my kindness, although if you perform such heinous acts again, I will bring death to your entire kingdom. Leave and make sure you speak my name to everyone" Masquerade says as the soldiers drop their weapons and run off

"Pardon me sir, why did you come here" says one of the villagers

"I could not let such heinous action be performed, call it a moral obligation, do not worry you are all under my protection, you need not be scared any longer. I don't do this kind of work for free though, I expect to be compensated for my efforts" Masquerade says

.

The townsfolk look at each other and smile

.

.

"No matter what world, no one can ever just take kindness, always has to have some ulterior motive" Alice thinks to herself in a tired voice

.

Chief of the village's house

"So then we are agreed Lord Masquerade, you and your companions shall always have a place in this village when you stop by and anytime you purchase anything in the village you will receive it for half off, is that alright?"

"Yes, that is quite reasonable and I agree to those terms, another thing, do you have a map, I lost mine sometime ago" Masquerade says

"Yes of course, I will have one brought up right away" he says and moments later a map is brought up

.

The map itself is separated by a large mountain range in the center in the shape of a Y stretching throughout the entire map and breaking into flatland in several places. In the center of the map is Carne Village, where they are currently, shortly to the southeast is the capital of the Re-Estize Kingdom, named E-Rantel, to the east of the mountain is the Baharuth Empire, who is in constant hostility with the kingdom. To the south of both is the Slane Theocracy, instigators of much of the conflict.

.

After the funeral for the fallen villagers the group of four walks through the town and notices the villagers cleaning up and repairing the damages caused by the attack. They go to the center of town to see the villagers discussing something with the village chief.

.

"Village chief, is there a problem?"

"Lord Masquerade, I have just been informed that more soldiers are making there way here at breakneck speed"

"Is that so, alright then, I will handle this situation, please gather the surrounding villagers around your house and come meet us in the town square" Masquerade says

"Yes of course" he says as he and the villagers smile

.

The center of town, several moments later

About a dozen horses ride into town with men wearing red and white armor. A man rides up to where the group is positioned. He wears the same red and white armor, no helmet, and brown hair with a beard.

.

"I am the Chief Royal Warrior for the Re-Estize Kingdom, Gazef Stronoff. The king has ordered me to hunt down the knights attacking surrounding villages, your people are safe now, we will do all we can to protect you"

"Thank you General Gazef" the chief says

"Are you the chief of this village? Who are these people standing beside you, they look peculiar" Gazef asks

"This man is…"

"No need to worry about that now, it is a pleasure to meet you general, my name is Masquerade, I am a simple magic caster on a journey, with these three, Carnage, Toxin, and Albedo, when I discovered this village being ransacked by those knights" Masquerade says

"What, these people would have been lost without you, thank you Sir Masquerade" Gazef says getting off his horse

"General, we've spotted a large army of unknown origin. They are surrounding the village as we speak" one of the soldiers says to Gazef

.

Inside the chief of the village's house

"They've surrounded the village at regular intervals" One of the soldiers says

"You suspect the Slane Theocracy correct?" Masquerade asks

"Yes, only they could deploy this many magic casters at once, probably one of the special ops units, directly beneath their head priest, it must be one of the Six Scriptures" Gazef says

"Hmm, and of the soldiers attacking earlier" Masquerade asks

"Theocracy soldiers no doubt, they dressed in imperial armor to throw us off"

"Yes, I had thought that, but I don't understand what is so important about this village"

"If you don't know why their attacking, then I'm assuming there not after you, which means one thing"

"It would appear you are quite despised, Chief Warrior"

"Indeed lucky me, to think, even the Slane Theocracy wants me dead" he says

"Sir Masquerade, I'd like to hire you, name your price and I'll ensure you get it"

"Sorry, but I'll have to decline"

"I understand, then take care and thanks again, this village owes you gratitude, as do I" Gazef says grasping masquerades hand with both of his

"I am grateful, which is why I hesitate to ask, I know this is a selfish request but please, grant these people your protection one more time, I have nothing to offer you now, but I beg you please" he says dropping to one knee before masquerade stops him

"There is no need to go that far, I understand, I will protect the people of this village; I will even put the name of Masquerade on the line" he says

"Then I will have nothing to worry about, instead I will focus on the task before me"

"Take this" Masquerade says handing the chief warrior a strange carving

"A gift, I gratefully accept, thank you"

"Good luck"

.

The men get on their horses and ride off to meet the soldiers

.

"You know Albedo, when I first met the humans here; I didn't see them as very much either, but the more I speak with them the fonder I grow"

"Is that the reason you promised the honor of your great name to his request my lord" Albedo asks

"Perhaps, no it was because of the strong will of someone prepared to die"

"Lord Masquerade. Those marauders are still out there. Why is the chief warrior leaving?" the village chief asks

"Because he was their target, not this village"

"So then should we just wait for him to deal with those brigands?"

"That would be unwise" Carnage says

"When the Chief Warrior disrupts their lines that should be when we make our escape" Toxin says

.

Masquerade summons a mirror of remote viewing and watches the battle taking place; with dozens of men fighting against the Archangel Flames. Archangel Flame; a summoned monster in shining knight-like armor, with wings and a halo of light, wielding a sword also made of light.

.

"Focus Battle Aura"

"Sixfold Slash of Light"

"Flow Acceleration"

.

"Summon another set of Angels; focus all your attacks on the Chief Warrior"

.

Eventually Gazef is the only one left, on the ground and bleeding before picking up his sword and standing again

.

"I'm not through yet; I'll die a thousand deaths before I lose to the likes of you"

"Yes, you will die, and you'll only have yourself to blame. After were through with you we'll massacre those in the village. Cease your futile resistance and just lie down like a good dog, as an act of mercy; I'll make sure your death is painless"

.

Gazef laughs at this

.

"Is something amusing?"

"Yeah, you and you little army, when the man in the village comes for you it will be a massacre"

"Trying to bluff me, have the angels kill him, make sure he suffers"

"Looks like it's time for us to switch"

.

The chief warrior looks around and notices he is no longer in the battlefield

.

"Where am I?"

"This is the village storehouse, Lord Masquerade set up a defensive barrier to protect us"

"Is he here?"

"He was right there, then he disappeared along with his companions and you appeared in their place"

.

He takes the carving out of his pocket and it disappears as he smiles

.

"Well, I'll be" he says as he passed out

.

Back in the battlefield

.

"And just who are you"

"Nice to meet you, people of the Slane Theocracy, My name is Masquerade"

"I am Carnage"

"I am Toxin"

.

"We have something of a relationship with those villagers"

"Did you come to beg for their lives or just your own?"

"No, no, you misunderstand"

"We overheard you conversation with the Chief Warrior"

"You really have a lot of balls don't you"

"We spent our precious time and energy saving those people, and you brazenly declared your intent to massacre them, I can't imagine anything more offensive"

"Your being rather brazen yourselves for a bunch of meager magic casters, so what do you plan to do"

"Offer your pitiful life to us without resistance, do this and there will be no pain"

"However; if you refuse we swear here and now"

"You will die painfully and in despair for your imprudence"

"Have the angels attack these fools"

.

Six angels fly towards the group, two to each of them and run them through with their light swords

.

"Is that all you had, I expected more after a bluff like that"

.

The angels are struggling to get free and seem to be unable to be moved. Masquerade, Carnage and Toxin are holding the angels in place

.

"Did you not hear us, we said offer your life without resistance, by the time were through with you you'll wish you had listened"

.

"A trick"

"Yes it has to be"

.

"[High Tier Physical Nullification], it's a passive skill that completely nullifies physical attacks of low level weapons and monsters" Masquerade says as the light swords disappear

.

The three of them smash the angels against the ground and they disappear

.

"Weak, I'll have to find something to alleviate this boredom, but for now I'll focus on killing you" Masquerade says

"It's our turn, I'm up first; you wanted a massacre you'll get one" Masquerade says

.

"Don't just stand there, attack them, hurry" the commander says as the angels gather and ready to attack them

"Albedo, stand back"

"Yes my Lord" She says as she quickly jumps out of the way

.

"[Negative Burst]" A dome of dark energy forms around Masquerade and expands rapidly engulfing and destroying all the angels before disappearing

.

"That not possible" The commander says before remembering the words of the chief warrior

"When the man in the village comes for you it will be a massacre"

.

The Theocracy soldiers use fire spells of all kinds from magic circles in their hands. They rush towards the group only to bounce off a purple dome that appears around the three

.

"[High Tier Magic Nullification]; another passive skill that nullifies all magic attacks below 5th tier"

.

One of the soldiers fires a rock from a slingshot; it gets close to the three before Albedo jumps in and deflects it back knocking the man's head off

.

"What just happened?" the commander asks confused

"Albedo, these weak level spells do us no harm, there was no reason for you to interfere"

"I beg your pardon, Lord Masquerade, Lord Carnage, Lady Toxin, but if someone wishes to fight supreme beings such as you, they should at least be able to best me. These men are mere pebbles fighting a mountain" Albedo says as they all share a laugh

"I'm afraid they wouldn't meet your requirements in ten lifetimes. Now then" Masquerade says as he looks back to the soldiers

.

The commander looks to the three angels floating above him. All of them are wearing long robes covering their legs; they each have a shield with the image of the sun on it. They each have four wings, these three are identical except for the color of their wings and shield. The first is colored golden, the second is colored light blue, and the last is colored a light orange

.

"Principality of Observation, Principality of Peace, Principality of Justice, Attack"

.

The three clasp their hand together and three maces appear, one for each of them, they move forward and ready to swing their maces. Toxin steps forward.

.

"My turn now, [Triple Maximize Magic] [Hell Flame]"

Three small black fireballs appear in her hand and they float towards the three angels. Once they make contact they are engulfed in black fire and disintegrate

.

"That was one hit, that's impossible there's no way high level angels could be destroyed with only one spell"

"Captain Nigun sir what should we do now" one of the soldiers asks

.

He reaches into his coat and pulls out a crystal. The crystal is white and inside the crystal is a small red crystal

.

"We'll summon the highest level angel" Nigun says as the crystal glows and Masquerade thinks how to go about this

.

"There were slight differences than the show already so this sealing crystal could also be different"

"Albedo, I believe your skills may be required"

"Understood" She says standing in front of the group with her axe at the ready

.

"Behold the shining form of the highest of angels, Dominion Authority"

.

The sky takes on a blue color and light emerges from the sky as white feathers fall to the ground. Its head and body are obscured it is covered with numerous glowing feathered wings. At the front of its head, a glowing divine magic circle is emitted. In its hand it holds a large golden scepter

.

"You're telling me this is your strongest trump card" Masquerade says in a deadpan voice

"That's right, I didn't think I'd have to call on it, but you've proved worthy of its divine greatness" Nigun says

"I'm at a complete loss for words" he says as he covers his head with his hands

"Regretting your folly, I wouldn't blame you"

"This is stupid"

"What"

"I can't believe I was worried about such child's play, in fact, Carnage you finish it"

"What was that, you can't be serious? No way, you're lying; mankind can't compete with its might. I'll show you. Smite them with your divine power"

.

The scepter breaks into many piece and orbits around Dominion authority

.

"Dominion Authority is the holy product of 7th tier magic, nothing can survive it. Now receive the god's judgment and repent" Nigun says as the magic circle glows in Dominion Authority before a giant blue pillar engulfs the group.

.

Nigun smiles and thinks victory is assured before hearing three people laughing

"So this is how it feels to take damage, this is pain"

.

"You worms, you harmed our great supreme ones, for that you will know hell" Albedo says preparing to strike them down

"Calm down Albedo"

"But Lord Masquerade"

"Its fine, aside from the surprising weakness of the angels, everything is going exactly as I have foreseen it, though I do wish they would put up more of a fight" Masquerade says as Carnage walks forward

.

"It's our turn again. Know despair. [Black Hole]"

.

A black orb appears in front of Dominion Authority and sucks it in. when it disappears the sky once blue and bright became as black as the night sky

.

"Even demons don't have this kind of power, just who in the world are you?"

"Masquerade"

"Carnage"

"Toxin"

.

"In the past, there was no one alive who did not fear these names"

.

A large crack in the sky appears before disappearing

.

"Hey what was that?"

"It seems someone was using reconnaissance magic to watch you from afar, I'm guessing the Theocracy, with what they've just seen, I think they will be quite afraid now"

"My country was watching me?"

"If that's all you had then it's time to end this"

"No, please wait, I beg of you sir-I mean Lord Masquerade, Spare my life; the rest of these men don't matter. I'll give you anything you wish, name it, I will do whatever it takes to appease you"

"I think you're confused, Lord Masquerade has no need for sniveling lower life forms, humans like you should bow your head and give thanks to him for ending your miserable lives"

.

"What's that mean, humans like me"

.

"What was it you said to Gazef" Masquerade says pulling out her Dragonstone and transforming into her thirty foot dragon form

"Cease you futile resistance and just lie down like a good dog" Carnage says pulling his out and also changing into his dragon form

"As an act of mercy I'll make sure your death is painless" Toxin says pulling hers out and changing as well into dragon form

.

Looking at the three dragons the only thing the soldiers do is scream in terror

.

On a road

"That was fun Mama" Toxin says

"Yes Mother it was quite enjoyable watching them squirm in fear" Carnage says

"Yes, now we should return to Nazarick" Alice says putting her mask away

.

"Lady Alice, why did you save that human, you gave him such an important item, I could have gone in your place. There was no need to personally save him"

"Until we know more about this world, we must always act under the assumption that the enemy is stronger than us"

"So that was your plan. You used him as a pawn to test the enemy's strength, I must ask though, why did you take that angels attack, even though I knew you would come out unscathed, it still pains me to see our great Supreme Beings in pain"

"I understand Albedo, let us go home"

"Yes Lady Alice"

.

In the throne room

Alice sits on the throne with the staff of Ainz Ooal Gown in her hand along with Carnage, Toxin, Yuno, Ophis and Trihexa by her side as hundreds of those in Nazarick are bowed before them

"First I apologize for moving on my own"

"I as well"

"Me too"

"Albedo shall tell you all what has transpired, but there is one thing I must say right away, inside of Nazarick you shall all refer to me as you always have, but when outside Nazarick or when someone from the outside come to speak with me you will refer to me by a new name"

.

Alice stands and pulls the mask out and places it on her face returning to the male version of Masquerade

.

"You shall refer to me as Masquerade, if you have any objections, stand and voice them"

"We have heard your precious name lord, and devote ourselves to it, with unwavering loyalty. Glory to Lord Masquerade"

""Glory to Lord Masquerade, All hail"" they all say

"We give ourselves to you, utterly and without any hesitation" Shalltear says

"To the most powerful Supreme being" Aura and Mare say

"Everyone in this world will know of your greatness and fear your undying wrath" Demiurge says

"Our King who rules over all forever" Cocytus says

"Glory to the Overlord, the supreme master of death" Albedo says

.

Masquerade strikes the staff against the ground

.

"This is an absolute order, make the name of Ainz Ooal Gown an eternal legend" Masquerade says as they all cheer

.

"And now the fun starts. Well then" Alice thinks to herself while smiling a feral grin

.

In Alice's room

"So; what happens next Allie?" Yuno says lying down on the bed

"Next should be when we establish a foothold in E-Rantel with me Carnage and Toxin, along with Narberal because they are making me take eat least one of the Pleiades"

"And what are the rest of us going to do"

"Coordinate with Demiurge, and work with him on his demon king plan, some of you need to work with Cocytus to prepare for the Lizardman invasion. Furthermore, some need to begin influence of the Baharuth Empire to come under the banner of the Sorcerer kingdom which the existence of will be announced soon after Demiurges plan for E-Rantel comes to conclusion"

"Ok"

"Yes Allie"

"I'll do my best"

.

"Alright then, time for bed" Alice says as she lays down before groaning as several screen appear in front of her

.

.

.

"Now this could be interesting" Alice thinks to herself as she falls asleep

.

Several days later in Alice's office

Ophis, Carnage, Toxin, Yuno and Trihexa sit on the couch as Alice sits in her chair at her desk as Albedo gives the daily report

.

"And the man we captured, Nigun, was the leader of the Sunlit Scripture of the Slane Theocracy, a nation believing humans should rise up against all other races, lastly what shall we do about the village" Albedo says reporting to Alice

.

"Carne Village is the foothold we obtained on friendly terms, so avoid creating a negative image as much as possible" Alice says

.

"Understood, then that is the last of my report" Albedo says

"Understood good work Albedo"

"I am unworthy of such praise. As a supreme one as well as the one I love…"Albedo starts before Yuno has a blade to her throat

"Easy Yuno, Albedo I wouldn't recommend saying such things in her presence, Yuno is very protective of me, and doesn't want any other females who have those types of feelings to be near me if possible"

"Surely Lady Yuno understand the need for a supreme one to have multiple Ladies in her court"

"Allie is mine and no one else's" Yuno says pressing the blade a bit closer

"Yuno, stop"

.

Yuno reluctantly pulls the blade back and goes back to stand by Alice

.

"Think about it Lady Yuno, no one would try to take her away from you, you would always be number one and you would always have final say if they stay or not" Albedo says

"That's enough Albedo, you have said your piece and Yuno has heard it" Alice says

"Yes, just think about it Lady Yuno" Albedo says as the door opens and Shalltear comes in

"Lady Alice, I hope you are well" Shalltear says curtsying

"You as well Shalltear, what brings you to my room today?"

"Why I came to view your exquisite form once more before I depart for my mission" Shalltear says with a blush on her face as Yuno places her Katana on the table and places several more knives on the table

"I am about to leave for my mission with Sebas, who has already departed on your orders; I believe I may not be able to return to Nazarick for a short time, so I came to give you my regards before I left"

"Thank you and good luck to you on your mission Shalltear, remember what we discussed beforehand about keeping your blood frenzy under control" Alice says

"I understand Lady Alice but I don't see when I will encounter so much blood as to activate it"

"Caution is never the wrong approach Shalltear, just please be careful"

"Yes Lady Alice, I shall take my leave now" Shalltear says as she bows before she leaves

"Albedo, I shall begin my Mission with Carnage, Toxin and Naberal in E-Rantel, I charge Nazarick's upkeep to you while I am gone, and to the safety of the remaining Supreme ones"

"Yes Lady Alice, no harm shall come to Nazarick or your family while you four are gone" Albedo says

.

Fortress city E-Rantel

Masquerade walks in with his tactician coat on and his hood down along with his now black mask as the people inside stare at his unusual spiked blond hair and the jet black long sword on his hip. Carnage and Toxin walk in behind him wearing their tactician coats with hood up and also black masks on, finally Naberal walks in behind the wearing a large brown cloak and minor armor underneath and a sword at her hip. They walk up to the innkeeper

.

"You want a room? Its five bronze pieces a night for two rooms, meals are every morning and at night; you miss them you don't eat, anything in-between you buy yourself" he says

"Yes that sounds very reasonable" Masquerade says taking a sack off his hip and pulling out five bronze pieces

"You're a bunch of copper plates huh" he says

"Yes we just registered a moment ago"

"Seven bronze pieces and you gotta pay upfront" he says

"That's fine" he says pulling out a few more and putting them on the counter

"Rooms on the second floor in the back" he says

.

They walk to the back while one of the guys drinking tries to trip Masquerade, who just walks by and kick the person's foot out of the way, he gets up and stands in Masquerades face

.

"Hey now, that hurt, how am I supposed to work with a busted ankle, maybe you friend there can kiss it and make me feel better" he says looking at Narberal with a lecherous smile

"Not in your wildest dreams"

"What, how bout I ignore you and just take what I want" he says walking towards Narberal before being picked up by Masquerade using one hand

"Seems you're too weak to even to even play around with" he says in a bored tone before throwing him across the room and into a table which collapses

"So are we going to fight now, because if so I'd like to just get this over with" he says looking at the remaining members of the group at the table before a girl screams and marches over to them

"Hey, my potion shattered because if you, you better pay for it, I skipped meals, and stopped drinking to afford it, I finally had enough to buy it today" she says

"Alright how about this" he says handing her a red healing potion

"This is a red healing potion?"

"There's no problem now right?"

"No I guess not"

.

The four of them arrive in the rooms that are separated on the inside by another door; they all set their stuff down lock the doors and move into one room to speak

.

"As Supreme ones you should not have to stay in a place like this" Naberal says in disgust

"It is fine Nabe" Masquerade says taking off the mask and becoming Alice again

"What should we do about that vile woman from before?"

"She is an iron plate, a higher rank then us, we should try not to make a bad impression or it will hinder our progress in our mission"

"Yes I understand, if I may ask a question, why do you hide your gender outside Nazarick"

"A fair question I suppose, people in this world seem to think less of women in this world unless they accomplish something great, like the Blue Rose adamantite team we have heard about"

"Don't we have a meeting with their magic caster soon?" Carnage asks removing his mask

"Yes I think I made quite the impression even if it was on accident" Alice says remembering their first meeting

.

Flashback

In a dark alley Masquerade teleports in and looks around to see if anyone is around and notices one person who observed him teleporting in

"Well this is not good"

.

The person walks up to the Masquerade. She looks like a twelve year old girl wearing a blood red cloak with the hood up obscuring all but a few strands of her blond hair; she is wearing a black dress with black leggings and black boots. On her face is a white mask with no eyes, several black lines along the mask leading to a red gem where the forehead of the mask is.

.

"Hello stranger, how did you use teleportation magic, that's a 5th tier spell and very few people can use them?" the newcomer asks

"Greetings, my name Is Grima and I am a magic caster. I was learning teleportation magic and this was my attempt to try it, where are we exactly?" he asks confused

"My name is Evileye and this is the capital of the Re-Estize kingdom, E-Rantel" she says

"You know one would think it rude to introduce yourself without taking of your mask" he says

"Same to you Sir Grima"

"Very well, but I assure you you'll be quite surprised"

.

Grima reaches up and takes the mask off his face as he transforms back into Alice. Evileye stands there shocked and looks on in what appears to be confusion

.

"Hi, my name is Alice, I use this mask to hide my appearance when I go outside my home, you seem trustworthy enough so can you please remove your mask"

.

Evileye reaches up and takes off her mask, revealing a young girl with red eyes filled with wisdom beyond her outwards appearance

.

"My name is Keeno Fasris Inberun, and you are the first person in a very long time who I have told my name to, my teammates don't even know it" She says confused as to why she told her name to a stranger

.

"I thank you for sharing your name and I ask you to keep mine a secret along with my real gender"

"How did you create such a powerful glamor though, it shouldn't be possible" Keeno asks

"It's not a glamor; although I am female this mask changes me into a male as long as I wear it" Alice says as Keeno looks on in awe

"Are you human, because I am sure that a human body would not be able to handle the strain that something like that would cause" she asks seriously

.

Alice holds out her hand and Keeno confused takes it

.

"[Greater Teleportation]"

.

The two appear in the middle of a grass field and Keeno looks on in shock

"That's 7th tier magic, how is that possible"

.

Alice smiles and her six wings sprout out of her back and her purple tattoos appear and her eyes change to blood red and her black aura spikes

.

"Dragon"

.

"Yes Keeno, I am a direct descendant of the great Fell Dragon Grima, who commands power over death and darkness" Alice says holding up her right hand and showing Keeno the brand of the Fell Dragon.

.

"I'm sorry, of all the dragon lords I have never heard of the Fell Dragon Grima"

"Yeah, I would be surprised if you did, were not from around here, matter if fact we only recently got here and settled down, I was testing new magic and I ended up here and met you"

"Ok, now then I need to ask you a serious question, what are your plans. Do you seek destruction or are you peaceful"

"Personally I just want to enjoy life, but that's not an answer is it. I'm just as peaceful as you are little vampire" Alice says as Keeno looks shocked

"Yeah I know what you are, I don't care though, I like you, I want to be your friend" Alice says holding her hand out and Keeno takes it

"I'd like that; I haven't had a true friend in a long time. I love my friends in Blue Rose but they will die eventually while I'm left all alone again"

"Well, never again my friend, Dragons live almost forever and I am only 220 years old, though I look a little younger so we will be friends for a very long time"

"It was nice meeting you and I hope to continue this conversation another time but I need to return to the other members of Blue Rose" Keeno says putting her mask back on

"You keep mentioning them but who are the Blue Rose Exactly" Alice says putting her mask back on

"You're really not from around here are you?" Evileye says

"Nope" Grima says

"The Blue Rose is one of the only adamantite ranked adventure team" she says

"Interesting, when the fellow members of my team get here we would be interested in meeting them if possible" he says

"Shouldn't be a problem, if they like you they may even take you on as an apprentice team"

"Apprentice team?"

"Some higher ranked teams fulfil quests with lower ranked teams to help them grow and rise in ranking, although it doesn't happen often as most are only out for themselves"

"It sounds like a great opportunity and my team would definitely be interested"

"Great, now can you please take me back" Evileye says holding out her hand which Grima takes

"Yes, [Greater Teleportation]"

.

They reappear in the dark alley where they disappeared the first time

.

"It was a pleasure meeting you Lady Evileye and I look forward to our next encounter" Masquerade says

"The pleasure was all mine Sir Grima, I look forward to our next meeting" Evileye says realizing what he was doing

.

End Flashback

"Yeah we should be having that meeting today" Alice says

"Why do you wish to associate with these lower life forms Lady Alice?" Nabe asks

"First one of them is a vampire so, at least one of them is worth interacting with, and second, the others could raise our ranking by taking on our team as apprentices" Alice says

"As you wish Lady Alice"

"That's another thing, when we are in the city, I am Grima; the children are Ddraig and Albion, and you are Nabe, next none of this lady stuff, it's just Grima"

"Yes Ms. Grima" Nabe says

"Close enough" Alice says as there is a knock at the door

.

Alice gestures to Carnage and Toxin as she puts her mask on

.

"Just a minute" Carnage says as he and Toxin put there masks on as well

.

Grima throws on his tactician cloak and goes to answer the door to see Evileye and some other women. Grima goes to greet them only to be stopped by Evileye engulfing him in a hug, which he awkwardly returns. A muscular woman looks at the scene and laughs

.

"So I guess you're the famous Grima, Shorty hasn't stopped talking about you since she got back from shopping a few days ago, what'd you do to get her to be this affectionate, you two together or something?" she asks as Evileye jumps away clearly blushing under her mask with Masquerade looking away

.

"Were just friends, we met and found we had several things in common" He says as the two twins from Evileye's group smirk

"Sure Seems that way…"

"…For the moment, but let's see…"

"…how long that lasts"

.

Grima ignores this and walks up to the remaining member of their group. She is wearing full gold and white plate armor with golden swords on her back, along with a large black sword in a sheathe on her back

.

"Hello Sir Grima, my name is Lakyus Alvein Dale Aindra, call me Lakyus. Evileye hasn't stopped talking about you, I do wonder how you got her to act the way she does but now I'm just glad she's happy"

"Names Gagaran, you already know shorty"

"My name is Tia…"

"…I am her sister Tina"

"…You better treat Evileye right…"

"…or we'll kill you"

.

"Okay then, my turn, you know me I am Grima"

"Greetings my name is Ddraig" Carnage says

"Hi, my name is Albion" Toxin says

"My name is Nabe"

.

Lakyus looks over the group and focuses on Carnage and Toxin

.

"Are those two kids or are they just short?" She asks confused

"Oh there kids, but there also great casters, they like me can use 3rd tier magic and with Evileye showing us some of her moves all of us have started on 4th tier magic"

"So that's why you were sneaking out lately, to go and see your boyfriend" Gagaran says

"He's not my boyfriend" Evileye says

"Sure, we believe you, it is interesting that your entire group can cast 4th tier magic. It is very rare to find a single person that can, but a whole group, now there is some serious potential" Lakyus says

"Thank you, we work very hard to learn all we can, personally I think we could get to 5th tier magic before the winter, but of course that would make us prodigies and I won't admit to that" Grima says with a smirk as the Blue Rose look at her curiously

"Yeah well when you get there could you show me some?" Evileye asks as the other Blue Rose looks at her curiously

"Who are you, and what have you done with our Evileye? You never ask for help and you haven't insulted anyone yet today"

"I'm the same Evileye you know, I'm just happier" she says

"Well I'm glad you made a friend, you don't seem to talk to anyone else except us and maybe Climb"

"Would you like to see what we can do?" Grima asks

"That would be interesting" Lakyus says

.

Grima pulls a scroll out and throws it, it opens and burns up and they all disappear and the door to the room closes and locks

.

Field outside the city

The group appears and Blue Rose looks around shocked at what happened

.

"What was that?" Gagaran asks

"Where we come from we have great magic casters it does not take very long to gather enough power to imbue a scroll with the Mass Teleportation spell" Ddraig says

"That spell takes a large scale ritual and you say it does not take long? How powerful are the casters where you are from?" Lakyus asks

"Now that is a Family secret, understand" Grima says subtly implying what he wants them to know

"Yes I think I do, thank you for sharing, now then I think you promised a demonstration" Lakyus says with a smirk

"Alright this is a new spell, all thanks to you Evileye"

.

Grima walks a distance from the group and holds out his hand where the signature purple magic circle appear with the Fell Dragon's brand on it before three more circles appear overlapping and spinning

.

"[Crystal Wall] [Lesser Barrier Shield] [Force Absorption Field] [Bronze Skin]"

.

A three meter tall and wide wall of crystal appears in front of him, a white aura appears around it before a black field joins it swirling around the wall with the white finally a bronze colored aura surrounds the whole thing before a bright light blinds everyone. When it dissipates the crystal wall has taken on a bronze coloring and is slightly see through, on the edges of the wall wisps of white and black energy are present. The group looks on in awe as a screen appears in front of Grima

.

.

Experimenting with spell combinations has created a new spell

.

[Crystal Bronze Absorption Barrier] – Active – MAX – 450MP to cast 100MP per minute to maintain

A 4th tier spell that creates a barrier wall made of crystal infused with bronze. Any attacks used on this barrier will have their damage reduced. More MP can be added to increase durability.

Durability: 500 + 300 per minute

Attack damage reduction: 75%

.

.

Grima smiles and floods the barrier with magic energy and then looks to the Blue Rose team

"Can you all launch your strongest attacks and strikes at it" Grima asks

.

"[Maximize Magic] [Shard Buck Shots]"Evileye says launching crystal bullets at the wall

"Martial arts: Smash" Gagaran says swinging her war pick

""Twin Bursting Flame Column"" the twins say creating twin explosions

"Dark Blade Mega Impact" Lakyus says swinging her demonic sword

.

All the spells create a large cloud of smoke and when it dissipates there are several minor indents and small cracks. After a minute the cracks heal and Grima smiles and laughs

.

"Yes, Finally" he says going over and picking up Evileye and twirling her around

"Thank you, thank you; thank you, I have been trying to create this spell forever but with your crystal wall it finally stabilized and took form" He says happy as he puts her down as she seems to blush and turn away

"What's the spell?" Evileye asks curious

"It's called the [Crystal Bronze Absorption Barrier], any attack that hits it loses the majority of its power, along with its ability to regenerate after some time has passed, and if it is fully regenerated increases its durability by the minute"

.

The group looks at the barrier with awe in their eyes and Evileye comes up to get a better look at it, feeling the crystal and knocking on it

"It could inevitably become indestructible couldn't it" She asks

"No but it could become strong enough that no attack could shatter it, so I guess it's the same thing" Grima says

"And what were those other spells you mixed into the spell, I've never heard of them before" Evileye asks

"[Bronze Skin] a simple first tier spell that hardens the skin increasing physical power slightly per minute. Next was [Force Absorption Field], another 1st tier spell that negated the majority of attack power only dealing a minimal amount of damage whenever the caster is attacked. The last one was [Lesser Barrier Shield] which is a simple shield spell which increases its defense a little every minute. These spells put together allow a barrier that increases its durability every minute and negates most of damage done to it when under attack" Grima says

"It is amazing, I created my own original spell, but it was from scratch which was easier than what you did but less impressive" Evileye says

"Indeed, using first tier spells to create something amazing, what tier is this new magic spell?" Lakyus asks

"A 4th tier spell, which would make the [Crystal Wall] spell 3rd tier, something I did not know before. I only expected the final product to be a 3rd tier, fascinating" Grima says

"It is indeed, it took me years to create my spell while you did it in a matter of minutes" Evileye says

"I've had the material and the knowledge on how to do this for some time but the spell was unstable, it needed something to stabilize the magic"

"And crystal is highly magic conductive" Evileye says

"Yep and now I finally have my own spell" Grima says with a smile

"Congratulations" Evileye says

"I didn't follow most of what you said but I think we need to celebrate right" Gagaran says

"Yes, we need to congratulate Sir Grima…" Tia starts

"…So it's time to party" Tina finishes

.

Back at the inn

"To Sir Grima, for his creation of a new Spell" Gagaran says holding up a mug of alcohol as a resounding cheer is heard. Grima sits at a table with Evileye with each of them holding a mug, not drinking from it

.

"You don't drink much do you?" Grima asks

"Not really, mask is in the way, don't really like it much regardless though" Evileye says

"Yeah I know, have you ever tried wine" Grima asks

"No what's it taste like" She asks

"Oh I have something to show you" he says taking her hand and leading her out as Gagaran and others in the in whistle and throw cat calls their way

.

The two make their way back to Grima's room and he closes the door and takes off his mask and hangs up the tactician coat as Evileye also takes off her mask

.

"Alright Alice, what is it you wanted to show me" Keeno asks

.

Alice reaches into thin air and pulls out a bottle and two glasses. She pours two glasses of red wine and hands one to Keeno. Keeno holds the glass up to her nose and sniffs it before taking a sip and widening her eyes

.

"It's sweet, like fruit" she says taking another sip

"This is red wine, made from fruit and it is nice and sweet, that is why I like it, much more subtle then the stuff at the inn, only problem is you feel it faster" Alice says taking a sip

"It is pretty good, where do you get it"

"It is made pretty easily where I come from, I don't really understand why it's not that popular, except with the nobles"

"Yeah I think I understand what you mean about feeling it faster" Keeno says wobbling a little bit holding the empty glass

"No, you just don't seem to have any real tolerance to it" Alice says going over to hold her up as she passes out, Alice lays her on a bed

.

Alice pulls a scroll out and throws it

.

"Message" she says as the scroll disappears

"Lady Alice, what a nice surprise, to what do I owe the pleasure" Shalltear says

"Hey Shalltear, is it possible to get a vampire drunk?" Alice asks

"It shouldn't be, we vampires have poison resistance, was she created or changed from human"

"Changed, and it is possible because I just did it"

"What class of vampire is she?"

.

Alice looks over to her and uses observe

.

Keeno Fasris Inberun, (Evileye), (Landfall)

Estimated level: 50

Classes:

Vampire Princess

Sorcerer

Elementalist (Ground)

.

"Vampire Princess, what does it mean?"

"It means that she doesn't have poison resistance and that she does not need blood to survive as a true vampire does, so that explains how you were able to get her drunk, off topic Lady Alice, I found your Martial Arts teacher"

"Oh, what is he like"

"Well from how this fight is going, he seems strong for a human, I think, hard to tell, he mentioned creating several original Martial Arts"

"Wait, are you fighting right now as you are talking to me"

"Yes but it is no problem, I can deflect his strikes with my pinkie finger, as I am doing now"

"What is his name?"

"Brain Unglaus or something"

"Hmm, don't let him escape and bring him back to Nazarick, I shall make my way there within a few days"

"Yes Lady Alice"

"Happy Hunting Shalltear"

"Yes, thank you Lady Alice, I shall remember your previous words" Shalltear says as the message spell cuts off

.

Alice walks over to Keeno and taps her on the shoulder; she looks up with hazy eyes

.

"Yeah, what is it Alice" Keeno says with her speech somewhat slurred

"You stay here for the night, I'll sleep in the chair" Alice says

.

Alice turns to go to the chair but Keeno grabs a hold of her sleeve

.

"You can stay, I don't mind" She says moving over in the bed

"Keeno I can't"

"Come on, please"

"Keeno I'm with someone"

"I don't mind sharing" She says pulling her towards the bed

"Yeah but she does"

"Just for tonight, nothing intimate, just hold me" she says as Alice falls into the bed at Keeno's pulling

"Fine, but nothing more, understand"

"Yes, goodnight Allie"

"Keeno, how do you know that name?"

"Hmm, it's just easier to say"

"Okay…Night Keeno" Alice says lying her head down

"Night Allie"


Few minor differences to canon at this point, Alice meeting Evileye and Blue Rose, Evileye being more affectionate as a result, and seeming to have a crush on our favorite heroine, not to mention, with Alice having knowledge on Canon, she can change events to suit her desires better

.

Does anyone notice that the martial art 'Void Cutter' sounds like Getsuga Tensho from bleach, when I read about it I thought it was interesting how many attacks from various anime and other things have this one basic energy attack

.

Before anyone says it, yes, much of the dialogue was from canon events, but it fits with their personalities so I see no reason to change it

.

How do you think Alice's presence will change Canon events, what will be the outcome, find out more, Next Week on 'The Strongest Ambition'

.

P.S. – I currently working on book 4 of this story, each book in between being between 60-100K words, so this story is gonna be around a while

.

There is a poll in my profile, please take it, I need the feedback to determine an ability

.

Favorite, Follow, and Review.

And PLEASE, recommend universes, as it is, after book 5 there will be nowhere else I can think of for Alice to go
