Chapter 6: Battle in the Cemetery

Set walks into Ainz' office, "What the hell is going on?"

Ainz hums, "Narberal received a message from Peter."

"Nfirea has been abducted by cultists and taken to a large cemetery." "The guild is wary of the large army of skeletons and zombies wandering the cemetery."

Set growls, "So we're going in?"

Ainz nods, "Yes."

Azazel walks into the room, "I'm coming with you."

Set raises an eyebrow, "Are you sure?"

Azazel nods, "This will send a message."

He smirks, "We could use this get the two of you up to the Adamantite rank."

Ainz hums, "I hadn't thought of that."

"Let's go."

At the guild hall, everyone is discussing what to do about Nfirea. Suddenly, the doors burst open, revealing Ainz, Narberal and Hamsuke.

Peter sighs in relief, "Sir Momon, thank goodness."

Ainz frowns, the four of them are covered in bandages covering up severe injuries.

Ainz walks up to them, "Apologies for making you wait."

"I was out of town when I got the message."

The guild leader nods, "Thank you for coming."

"We could we use all the help we can get."

Ainz hums, "I brought some extra help."

The door opens and in walks Set, Brita and Brain.

Dyne nods, "Master Bayek, you're here too."

Set grunts, "Momon asked me for help."

One of the guild members speaks up, "Brita, you're here?"

She smirks, "I decided to join Bayek's team."

The guild leader nods, "I see."

The other guild members take notice of Brain, "Hey, isn't that Brain Unglaus?"

Murmurs spread throughout the guild hall.

The leader frowns, "Brain Unglaus."

"I wasn't expecting to see you here."

Brain shrugs, "Bayek managed to beat me in a fight."

"I decided to follow him and become stronger."

This causes another wave of murmurs to spread throughout the guild hall.

"I'm coming with you."

They all turn to see Azazel walk into the guild hall.

Set frowns, "What are you doing here?"

Azazel chuckles, "If this is as dangerous as it sounds."

"You could use my help."

Ainz nods, "We'd appreciate that."

Ninya blinks, "Are you Sir Adrian?"

Azazel nods, "That's right."

Set gains a bloodthirsty grin, "In that case…"

"I might actually get some enjoyment out of this."

He laughs, "The three of us together."

"It'll be just like old times."

Ainz turns to the Swords of Darkness, "At any rate."

"What exactly happened?"

Peter frowns, "There were two of them; a psychotic woman and bald man wearing robes."

"They attacked us at Nfirea's grandmother's shop."

Lukrut scowls, "They tortured us."

"The woman acted like she got off on it."

Dyne nods, "We only managed to escape because Ninya was able to activate a teleport spell at the last second."

Ninya sniffs, "She was going to kill us."

"I just knew it."

Ainz puts a hand on his shoulder, "You don't need to feel sad."

"You saved yourself and your team, be proud."

Set cracks his neck, "She made one mistake."

"She didn't finish them off." "Now it's my turn."

Ainz shakes his head, "No…I'm the one who will finish her off."

"The two of you can have the cultists."

Set frowns, 'Oh, come on!'

Ainz smirks, 'Too bad.'

'After that stunt the two of you pulled with Albedo and Shallter; you can suck it.'

Set grunts, "Fine…"

Azazel turns to the guild leader, "We will deal with this."

"It will swift and efficient."

The guild leader nods, "Do what you have to."

Ninya walks over and looks up at Ainz, "Please, Sir Momon."

"Save him."

Ainz nods, "I will."

Ainz and the others walk out of the guild hall and head towards the cemetery.

He looks over his shoulder, "I want all of you to be on your guard."

"Even though they're just undead, there is bound to be a significant amount."

He turns to Brain, Brita, Narberal and Hamsuke, "You four."

"Keep a good distance behind us." "We'll be fighting hard and I don't want you to get caught in the crossfire."

Narberal nods, "Yes my lord."

They finally reach the gates leading to the cemetery, where they meet with the guards.

"I am Momon, my friends and I are adventurers." "We've been sent here to deal with the undead."

The guard nods, "Be careful in there."

"We haven't even come close to counting how many are in there."

Azazel smiles, "You don't need to worry."

"We are well prepared for this."

The gate is opened long enough for the group to walk through and is then closed behind them. They immediately take notice of all the shambling corpses.

Ainz pulls the swords off his back, "Let's get started."

Set pulls out his kopesh and small shield, "I'm ready."

Azazel equips a rapier, "I'm right behind you."

The three of them leap into action. Ainz gives out wide swings that wipe out large numbers of skeletons at the same time. Set slices through skeletons, while also bashing them with his shield. Azazel moves at lighting speed, slicing skeleton after skeleton.

The rest of the group follows behind them, taking out any stragglers.

Brain slices through the skeletons with his katana, "They aren't very strong, but they're good practice."

Brita slices them up with her dagger, "Speak for yourself."

Nabe blasts them with her lightning, "These skeletons are fools for getting in the way of the Supreme Beings."

Hamsuke shivers, "This is scary, it is."

Set laughs, "This is fun."

"I've always loved trashing skeletons."

Azazel chuckles, "Yes, it is good practice for real enemies."

Ainz grunts, "I find them to be annoying."

Set snickers, "I just pretend they're you."

Ainz gains a tick mark, "Kiss my boney ass!"

After a while, Brain starts to sweat, "There's no end to them."

Brita pants, "I'm not built for this."

Ainz narrows his eyes, "This is taking far too long."

"We need to thin the herd."

He lifts his hand, "Summon Undead: Corpse Collector, Jack the Ripper!"

A large magic circle appears on the ground, before a light comes from it. The light dies down to show two nightmarish creatures. One is a hulking beast covered in bandages, while the other is a jester-like being with sharp claws.

"Corpse Collector, Jack the Ripper; clear the way for us."

The Corpse Collector roars as he plows through the skeletons with brute strength. Jack the Ripper cackles maniacally as it slices up the skeletons with his claws.

Azazel hums, "Not bad, but we still need to get there."

He lifts his hand, "Summone Angelicus Bestiam!" (Summon: Angelic Beast)

A beam of light falls down from the sky and slams into the ground. When the light dies down, they see a large griffon covered in armor. The griffon screeches before leaping at the skeletons and ripping them apart with its beak and talons.

Set grunts, "Show offs."

Azazel raises an eyebrow, "Think you can do better?"

Set smirks, "I might have something."

He lifts his hand, "Aistidea'i: Tajsid 'Abufis!" (Summon: Embodiment of Apophis)

The ground shakes, before a massive king cobra with black scales bursts from the ground.

Brain's eyes widen, "What the hell?"

Brita starts to sweat, "What's that…?"

Hamsuke's fur stands on end, "Alpha predator, it is."

The cobra hisses before barreling into the hordes of undead.

Brita gulps, "My lord, what was that thing?"

Set hums, "Funny thing."

"My father Ra was worshipped as the god of the sun." "Every night he would battle Apophis, the embodiment of chaos and destruction."

He frowns, "When my father was killed, Apophis made his move to devour our world."

"I battled Apophis and slew him once and for all." "After killing him, I enslaved his essence and vowed to use it for good."

Ainz nods, "So you made the great serpent your summon."

The group follows after the summons until they arrive at a mausoleum, where they find a group of cultists.

Ainz, Azazel and Set walk forward and stand across from the cultists.

The bald man frowns, "Who the hell are you three!?"

Ainz points a sword at him, "I'm not here for you."

"I want your female compatriot."

"Well hello there."

They all look up to see a woman with a deranged look on her face.

"Looking for me?"

The bald man grits his teeth, "What do you think you're doing Clementine?"

She smirks, "Relax Khajiit, I'm just having a little fun."

"So big guy, what can I do for you?"

Ainz frowns, "You attacked some acquaintances of ours."

"You tortured them and tried to kill them."

Clementine smirks, "Oh…those four."

"What are you gonna do about it?"

Ainz turns, "Follow me, let's settle this elsewhere."

Ainz walks off, with Clementine following after him.

Set turns back to his followers, "Stay back, this is for us."

Narberal bows, "Yes my lord."

Khajiit smirks at them, "You two are truly foolish if you think you can stop me."

Set cracks his neck, "Bored now."

"Azazel…"

Azazel smiles, "Yeah…"

"Framea Solis!"

Azazel forms a sunlight spear and throws it into the air, where it bursts and rains down multiple spears. It strikes the cultists, causing them to scream as they are incinerated.

When the screaming dies down, Khajiit is the only one left standing due to him forming a shield.

He chuckles, "Impressive."

"Your strength will serve me well."

Set gives him an emotionless look, "Even though I don't really care…"

"Can I ask what you're goal is?"

Khajiit laughs, "I'm glad you asked."

He lifts up a small purple orb he is holding, "Behold the Orb of Death!"

"I use an army of the undead to lay waste to E-Rantel." "Then I shall absorb the dark energy generated by all that death to become a god of death."

Set deadpans, "Wow…that's dumb."

Khajiit blinks, "I beg your pardon?"

Azazel sighs, "That's the most asinine plan we've ever heard."

Khajiit grits his teeth, "Shut your mouths!"

"I won't allow my ambition to be mocked by the likes of you!"

He lifts up his orb, "Come forth skeletal dragon!"

The orb glows and the ground shakes as the bones covering the ground pull together. The bones form a massive dragon that lifts its head and roars.

Set's eyes widen, causing Khajiit to smirk, "Yes, feel despair."

"No human can defeat a skeletal dragon!"

Set suddenly grins, "Oh hell yes!"

Khajiit blinks, "Huh…?"

Set pulls out his kopesh, "Now that's what I'm talking about!"

Azazel smirks as he draws his rapier, "This might be fun after all."

Khajiit's jaw drops, "You can't be serious!"

Brita shivers, "They really are crazy."

Brain laughs, "Maybe, but the best people are."

Narberal smirks, "They are warriors at heart."

"They seek to test their strength against powerful enemies."

Set launches himself forward and slams his kopesh into the side of the dragon's face, making it slide back.

Khajiit's jaw drops, "Impossible!"

"No human is that strong."

Azazel dashes forward slices through the dragon's sword, cutting off one of its wings.

Khajiit starts to sweat, "Who the hell are these people!?"

He grits his teeth, "I guess there's no helping it."

He lifts up the orb and heals the skeletal dragon, while also summoning a second one.

He sighs, "Unfortunately I have used all the energy I've gathered thus far."

He smirks, "Fortunately, I just have to kill all of you to regain that energy."

Set gains a bloodthirsty grin, "Now it's a party!"

He puts his shield back on his back and summons a second kopesh, "Come on!"

"Dance with me!"

Meanwhile, with Ainz.

Clementine smirks, "So...I'm guessing you're here to make me suffer for hurting your little friends?"

"Say, did you know that little squirt was actually a girl in disguise?"

Ainz stops walking, "I'm afraid you don't understand."

"Killing them wouldn't change anything."

He turns to her and pulls out his blades, "They weren't comrades; they were valuable assets for my plans."

He points one of his swords at her, "In other words…"

"You're in my way."

She smirks, "Fabulous."

She unstraps her cloak and pulls out a pair of piercing daggers. Clementine strikes at Ainz faster than he can parry. Unfortunately, she is unable to inflict any damage on him.

He hums, "Impressive."

"You use the Martial Arts to buff yourself and then strike decisively."

Clementine deadpans, "You're just now figuring that out?"

"What kind of warrior are you?"

She licks her dagger, "Also, why didn't I damage you?"

Ainz stabs his swords into the ground, "I've learned a lot from you."

"But now it's time to end this."

He turns his head and his eye glows, "Azazel, Set; show them the power of Nazarick!"

Clementine frowns, "What the hell?"

He spreads out his arms, "Now then, come at me."

Back with the others.

Set slams his blades into one of the dragons, while Azazel slices the other.

Set laughs, "I haven't had a workout like this in a long time."

Azazel smiles, "Yes, it's very exhilarating."

"Azazel, Set; show them the power of Nazarick!"

Everything goes quiet, before Set and Azazel both gain bloodthirsty grins.

Narberal smirks and changes into her Pleiades outfit, "Burn this into your memories you three."

"You're about to see the Supreme Beings in action."

Set laughs, before sand rises up and covers his body. The only thing they can see is his glowing eyes. The sand bursts apart, revealing Set in all his glory.

Hamsuke's fur stands on end, "Dog!"

Azazel's body is covered in a bright light. When the light dies, Azazel is in his full armor with his wings on full display.

Khajiit's eyes widen, "What are they!?"

Set stretches, "Well baldy, I'm afraid that our time is over now."

"Unfortunately for you, I don't have to hold back anymore."

Azazel hums, "Yes, it's been rather stifling with these human disguises."

"It feels so good to spread my wings after all this down time."

Set cracks his joints, "I was starting to go stiff."

He exhales, blowing steam from his nostrils, "Ready?"

Azazel nods, "Ready."

Set lifts his hand, "Iilah Alsahra'i: Darih Alrimal Aleazim!" (Desert God: Great Sand Mausoleum)

Sand erupts from the ground and pulls the skeletal dragons together. The sand shifts until it takes the shape of a massive pyramid.

Brita has an awed look, "That's incredible."

Brain smirks, "He really is a god."

Azazel flies up and holds out his hand, "Lex Permanens Argentum Tormentarii!" (Law Abiding: Silver Gun)

Azazel fires a large beam of silver light that strikes the pyramid and sets of a massive explosion that engulfs both the dragons and Khajiit. Everyone goes quiet, the ground where the pyramid was having been scorched with the fiery indent of a silver cross.

Azazel lands, "It's over."

Set hums, "Now we just have to wait for Ainz."

With Ainz.

Clementine scowls at him, "You're really starting to piss me off!"

"I'm going to kill you!"

She buffs her speed and dashes at him. She rams her daggers into the eye socket of his helmet, before twisting her hand. The blade ignites, dousing Ainz' body in flames. He swings his arm around and pins Clementine to his body.

"Hmm, this is rather interesting." "There weren't any weapons like this in Yggdrasil."

Clementine's eyes widen, "No way."

"You shouldn't be alive right now!"

Ainz hums, "I suppose there's no point in hiding it."

He changes his form to his natural one.

Clementine's eyes widen, "An undead!"

"You're an elder lich!?"

Ainz hums again, "You're only half right."

He pulls the daggers out of his eye sockets.

"Now then, let's get started."

He starts to squeeze her against his body, making her groan in pain.

"Let go of me you bastard!"

Ainz glares at her, "What's the matter bitch?"

"Love to dish out the pain, but can't take it?"

Blood starts to pour out of her eyes, nose and mouth. He holds up his other arm and places it against her.

"Good night."

He gives one final squeeze and Clementine is snapped in two, sending a geyser of blood out of her mouth.

Ainz drops her onto the ground and turns his attention to the mausoleum.

"Master!"

Hamsuke runs up to him, but ends to trying to stop and slides towards him.

"You're not master!"

Narberal stomps onto Hamsuke's head, silencing her, "Be quiet, fool."

"I won't allow you to embarrass the Supreme Beings."

Set and Azazel walk up to them, followed by Brain and Brita.

Azazel looks up at the Mausoleum, "He's in there?"

Ainz nods, "Yes."

Set turns to the others, "Wait here."

The three players walk up the steps of the mausoleum and head inside. They find Nfirea standing in the center of an open area. He is wearing a strange object on his head and has blood dripping down his face. The chamber is filled with skeletons shambling around.

Ainz walks up to Nfirea, the skeletons ignoring him, "What is this?"

He lifts his hand, "Scan Magical Object."

Azazel frowns, "What is it?"

Ainz cups his chin, "It's called the Crown of Wisdom."

"Whoever wears it has their magical strength increased exponentially." "Unfortunately, it costs them their mind."

Set growls, "In other words…"

Ainz nods, "The eyes I can heal easily."

"The mind is another matter."

His eyes glow, "I'd love to study the Crown."

"But it's too risky."

He lifts his hand, "Break Greater Item."

The Crown starts to disintegrate. Nfirea slumps over, with Ainz catching him and lifting him up. Ainz carries Nfirea outside and meets up with the others.

He changes back into his Momon disguise, "Let's go."

The group returns to the guild hall, where everyone is waiting for them. Once Nfirea is healed, Ainz decides to move Nifrea and his grandmother to Carne Village for their own safety. Ainz and the others are all awarded with the rank of Adamantite for their success in the mission.

Nfirea and his grandmother ride towards the village with Narberal acting as protection. When they arrive, they find Enri waving to them, with Beta standing next to her.

"Hi, my name is Lupusregina, but you can call me Beta."

She smiles, "I'll be looking after you from now on."

Narberal hugs Beta then turns to Nfirea, who is speaking with Enri.

"Nfirea, Enri, there's something you should know."

Enri smiles, "Yes?"

Narberal smirks, "Beta here is Lord Set's daughter."

Their eyes widen, "Really!?"

Beta laughs, "Yep, he's my papa alright."

"He asked me to look after you."

Nfirea bows, "I'm in your care."

With Ainz.

He and Set walk into the guild hall. They go up to the desk to ask for a high-paying job, but there aren't any available. Ainz is suddenly interrupted by a message.

"Never mind please let me know when a job becomes available."

He and Set walk back outside, with Ainz lifting his hand to his head, "Raise the alert level to maximum and activate Gargantua."

"This time; we're all going in together."

End of chapter 6.
