CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE: The Fall of Man

The demons slowly came over the horizon early in the morning. There were thousands of them. Nabe looked around, Pandora's Actor in the form of Momon was with her outside the gate, he too was looking around.

"Where is Ridda? You told her to meet here when the demons showed up right?" Momon asked.

"Yes, perhaps she decided not to help us?" Nabe said. Momon looked at her.

"Is that like her?" But nabs shook her head.

"No, she should have been here before us... knowing how eager to please she, everyone is." Nabe explained. Looking bored.

"I heard she might have a thing for you." he said laughing. Nabe clicked her tongue.

"She's talented, but one of the stupidest girls I've ever met."

"So you don't care about her?" Nabe shrugged.

"I've been ordered to care about her... so I do," Nabe said shrugging. Momon looked at the demons.

"I heard she attracts trouble, maybe she isn't worth keeping around? I should ask father to force her to work around the clock making metals for us in the dungeon, she'd be out of our hair then and fulfilling her grand purpose.

"NO! There's no need! She's already agre..." Then Nabe scowled as she realized Pandora's Actor was messing around with her. Nabe clicked her tongue again and looked away.

"Fine... it might please me to have that stupid girl around, alright?" Pandora's Actor nodded, Ainz had asked him to bring up Ridda around Nabe to gauge her reaction about her. She was thinking about telling him off when a girl landing next to them caught their attention.

"Oh, Ridda, we were just talking about you." Ridda nodded.

"Yeah, I heard you from where I was... um, I didn't know Lord Ainz Ooal Gown was your father Momon!" Nabe looked at him with a glare. He nodded and wove his hand, she was already being groomed to enter the ranks of "adopted" Nazarick such info was not a big deal... but he should remember to be more careful in the future.

"Where were you anyway Ridda? The attack will be soon." Ridda was holding a metal cord than ran underground.

"Yeah, once I learned where the demons were coming... I've been out here for the past day and a half preparing." She said and sitting down with a yawn.

"I'm completely out of mana!" Nabe glared at her, why was she out of mana? She knew that they had to put on a show... didn't she? Momon didn't say anything.

"So what have you been preparing anyway?" Nabe asked, looking at the metal cord Ridda had handed her. Ridda wove her hand abover her head.

"Big surprise! Something I thought about when i was talking with Lord Kyouhukou the other day, you know he's SUPER smart!" Ridda said looking happy, she really liked that bug as friend didnt she? That was kind of cute.

"Just use [LIGHTNING] while holding that thing when I give the word," Ridda said snickering.

Soon enough the demon hoard was almost attacking. They were close enough to where you could make out their features and beady eyes.

"Uh, we really should be fighting them, right now... if all 10,000 hit the walls at once..." Momon said looking at Ridda, but she just wove her hand again as to say "wait please". And wait they did, until the first line of demons were nearly at the gates of E-Rantel.

"Alright, Mistress Nabe... please cast [LIGHTNING]" Ridda said and she did. In a flash, the entire field lit up, then exploded in a huge display of metal and lightning! Everyone shielded their eyes from the huge release of light and sound. When they looked back there was nothing but a field of raining dirt, metal, and smoke, as well as thousands of dead demons.

"What the..." Nabe finally asked in shock at the devastation her third tier spell did. Ridda was laughing her ass off.

"OH! that was much bigger than I thought it would be... hmm guess silver would have been a better choice than copper to carry the current.," she muttered.

"What the hell was that?" Momon asked in surprise.

"Ah, well... I've spent the last day and a half making hollow metal balls and attached to this cord to them, they were all connected and laying along the ground... uh, I made like over 4,000 of them I think? Anyway, they explode and the air inside is released, making a little spray of metal! I did some testing and Kyouhukou helped with the uh... "science" he called it... anyway he'll be excited to hear how well it's worked!" Ridda said nodding in satisfaction.

They scanned the devastated field... only two or three thousand demons still remained.

"Oh... there's still some left?" Ridda sounded disappointed. Nabe shook her head at how stupid this girl was... she'd killed too many demons, now the threat would be dealt with by the guards... or even just Momon if he decided to mop them up... either way, the news of this amazing spell is what would spread and not how "Runcrafted weaponry had saved the day and the lives if every single E-Rantel citizen" no the bards instead sing about the amazing lighting magic of the beautiful princess Nabe that killed over 8,000 demons in one attack! While this furthered the reputation of Nabe and Team Raven Black, it did little to open the ears to the wonders of Runecrafted weapons, and how demon scream at the sight of them

Nabe wanted to yell at Ridda and tell her how she had ruined everything! But when she looked at her, her eyes were so full of pride and she was clearly expecting praise... Nabe sighed loudly and rolled her eyes.

"Good work Ridda... you no doubt saved many... people," Nabe said in a monotone voice. Momon just headed back inside, at least the guards would get some credit. Ridda gave nabe a huge smile that made her look her age.

"Anyway, I should go report to Lord Ainz about our... "success" and nabe simply followed. Ridda sat back and watched the guards easily wipe up the demon survivors. Nabe would earn a new title after this day, "The beautiful princess Nabe, Demon Slayer" people would call her from now on.

Meanwhile, a different army approaches three Dark elves standing in an open plain that lead to the forest where mare ruled from.

"There they are!" Aura said pointing at the enemy army that quickly approached them.

"Idiots... why are they attack us? And with such a weak army as well?" Bella exclaimed shaking her head. Mare looked at both his sisters.

"Um... should I just kill them all now? With my magic..." He began but Bella patted his head.

"Naw... that would be too easy! I have a better idea..." Bella... you up for a little competition?" Aura asked stretching.

"Pffftt! you know I am! What are you thinking? However, kills the most wins?" Aura nodded and Bella smiled and flexed one arm.

"You're on!" But Mare looked around nervously.

"Oh um.. what should i do then?" Mare asked looking at all the scary men.

"You have the hardest job of all Mare!" Aura said.

"Oh? What's that sis?" he asked wide-eyed.

"You gotta watch me kick Bella's butt at this game!" Aura cried then made a full sprinting dash at the enemy. Bella realized Aura just got an early start and took off after her.

"Cheater!" Bella yelled at Aura who just looked back and stuck her tongue out at her.

"You're just mad you didn't think to do it first!" Aura taunted back at Bella as they ran at insanely fast speeds toward the enemy, that was now seeing two trails of dust headed their way. Bella clicked her tongue.

"That's true..." She muttered. And soon they were in front of the army that had halted it's charge and taken up a defensive position around the caster units.

"So... what cha all doin here?" Aura asked in a cheerful tone. A woman dressed all in black who was close to the front answered her.

"We are here to eradicate the one known as Aura in the name of our God of death." She proudly announced. The dark elf girls looked at one another. Aura rose her hand.

"Well that's me, I'm Aura Bella Fiora... who are you?" She asked. the ladies face twisted as she walked out toward the girls, telling her men to stay back.

"I am the leader of The Slane Theocracy, Tempesta Allighn! Know the name of the woman who killed you!" Tempest said as she brandished her ring and used it's magic to cast [AURA OF DESPAIR] at the fifth level.

Both Dark Elf girls suddenly went limp as their last breaths escaped their mouths and the eyes want blank... at least that's what SHOULD have happened!... Instead, they both stood there looking at her with disbelief.

"You thought that would kill us, did you?" Aura said shrugging and shaking her head laughing.

"Hey, Aura?" Bella said in a weird voice, Aura turned to see what the matter with Bella was.

"What?" Aura asked.

"ONE!" Bella cried as she kicked Tempest in her chest, sending her arcing through the air and landing a good 30 feet away from Bella, dead on impact. And with that, it was on! The two smiling Dark Elf girls unleashed themselves into the humans. Bella jumped in the air and pulled her bow out, spinning through the air like a top, then she unleashed a flurry of arrows. Killing 43. Their screaming bodies making sizzling sounds from her hot arrows.

"Humph!" Aura smirked as she ran through their ranks using her whip to cull the enemy down, bodies went flying through the air as whip cracks that landed with bone shattering force blew the weak humans apart and to the side, with this attack Aura killed 112.

However, Bella was still spinning and still shooting. By the time she landed she'd killed 86 more as her arrows exploded with devastating AOE magic. Aura frowned, she was losing! To catch back up she launched herself at Bella, landing right in front of her blocking her attack and spraying the men with her own, better, bow. With this sneaky attack, she stole 55 kills form Bella.

"Aura! you just jacked my kills!" Bella complained! Aura looked at her with a silly smile.

"Did I? Sorry hadn't noticed!" She said then fired off more shots killing another 45.

"GUH!" Bella snorted in frustration as she cast used one of her bast attacks, she jumped high in the air, a golden circle appeared in front of her bow and it began firing off like a machine gun, she wasn't even using the string, she was using an ability is had, over the next 4 seconds of her bow firing off she killed 490 members fo The Slane Theocracy. Their bodies filled with holes collapsing to the ground as smoke came from their wounds.

Unfortunately, Aura also had this ability and blast apart 608 with her trump card attack. As she spun and her bolts of light hammered against the wall of flesh. Some fifth tier magic attacks hit Aura from the two caster generals. Aura and Bella looked at one another then tore through the enemy. Eash hit their target with flying kicks followed up by a massive whip combo to the casters that surrounded their generals. In all both killed 203 elite casters.

By now the enemy was beginning to spread out and fall back... some even already calling for retreat. but huge earth walls rose up, making a giant arena that captured all 4000 plus soldiers. Their cries of panic and terror echoed off the massive walls and made a sound like tens of thousands of men screaming for their lives.

"You have to stay here so sisters can have a fair game!" Mare said as he moved the earth to block off any escape. Both Aura and Bella stopped what they were doing to wave to their little brother.

"Thanks, Mare!" They both called out and he giggled at their praise. Bella jumped into the thick of the recent corralled enemy and spun in the center of them with her whip out, she kept spinning till a tornado appeared around her, whipping the men she caught through the air and into the walls this a loud THUD! They would shoot out in every direction, one after the other from her spinning attack, each making the same gross impacting sound as they hit the walls.

Once again, not to be outdone by her younger sister Aura issued the same attack and flung an absurd amount of bodied into the walls with the same sound of flesh hitting wet dirt.

THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD!

One after another their bodies flung like small bits of meat into the now freshly painted walls of Mare's arena. The twin tornadoes spinning around killing them all indiscreetly. After their attacks had finished Aura had killed 1,645 while Bella racked up 2,000 exactly.

The twin sisters sat down in the center of the gore and death tallying their kills up. In all Aura killed 2,668 while Bella managed to kill 2,742.

They looked around and saw a bunch of injured and hurt men, others screaming at the top of their lungs as their minds had broken. Aura realized she was behind and set upon the injured men, as they were easy kills! Aura ran through the field of screaming and crying men, stomping head like watermelons trying to pad her score with easy scores! Bella was trying to maintain her lead by simply kicking the heads off of the men, they sailed through the air like bloody soccer balls, and splatted against the ground or wall. After the easy kills were done it was time to chase down the one that were trying to run... where to was anyone's guess as they were captured. the girls made quick sport of the cowards that ran like children... from literal children.

With everyone finally dead, the final score was...

Aura= 2,698

Bella= 3,032

Bella gave a V for victory to her older sisters face laughing.

"How do you like that? I won!" mare ran up clapping cutely.

"You two did so good! that as fun to watch!" he cried hugging his blood-soaked sisters, they laughed and hugged their bother back as they examined their handiwork.

And so, the Black Scripture fell in a single day, and The Slane Theocracy was left without solid leadership. With an attack on it's vassal nation, The Sorcerer Kingdom marched on The Holy City in earnest, the capital of the Slane Theocracy, The literal army of undead Death Knight and Soul Eaters, however, found the gates to the Holy City open and The flag of The Sorcery Kingdom flying high from every wall upon walking up to the city, they surrendered the city without siege or bloodshed. Within a week The Slane theocracy was officially occupied and then turned over to the Sorcerer Kingdom, as was all it's territories.

Every major nation of man now belonged to Ainz Ooal Gown in one way or another. And while a vast majority of The Slane Theocracy nobles and remaining sunlight scripture members fled south into the Southward Dessert, none of them were heard from again, nor were their signs that they ever made it to the floating city.
