Chapter 5
Having finished their talks with Ainz, the four assassins Akame,Leone,Bulat and Sheele are currently resting in one of the rooms of the 9th floor; they are not surprised anymore by the beauty of the room, the dark god resurrecting an empire soldier is the final nail in the coffin for them for all their life until now they thought that death is the end, because there are no teigus capable of doing it, but now they see miracle,hope and what true power means. Their teigus did not seem to amaze them, they only want information and whatever conditions the dark god wants, they just hope that the conditions are beneficial to the Night Raid and the boss must accept this alliance! They can't miss the opportunity to have the dark god as an ally because if they allied instead with the Empire then they can't even win anymore,considering the number of unknown monsters he rules with powers unknown to them. Akame, with a 1 yen sticker on her forehead, still drinking what the people of this tomb called chocolate milkshake given to them by a very cute maid with an eyepatch, addressed her friends about the encounter and what can possibly happen in the future because of this alliance.
"Everyone, what are your opinions on what is happening right now? And the alliance?"
"They are really dangerous, that's all I know. I even doubt that Esdeath has any chance on any of them, look at those monsters Akame! Even the angel, they see us as worms. But the dark god offers an alliance, isn't that suspicious?"
"Yes, I know Leone. I think that's because they aren't humans and they saw us as beneath them,but I felt that the dark god really wants an alliance and can definitely help us, this is our chance, you know all that I don't want any of my friends to die anymore. We can convince the boss if she refuses, do you want them to be our enemy? They call the dark god a supreme being and not a god, and I have a bad feeling that they are over zealous and will do anything for him."
"Do you think that they are a threat to humanity?"
"Maybe , but I feel that the dark god will not let them be a threat to humanity, they want to be the saviors."
"Saviors? What do you mean?"
"Tell me, what do you think if people saw a never before seen beings that are non-violent and can revive the dead? Knowing how many violent unjust deaths and executions are happening in the empire?"
"They are gonna be revered as gods that descend this world that will punish evil beings, and that is the Empire. Riots will be rampant and believers of gods that are opposed to the Empire or even allies of the Empire are gonna start revolution themselves when they see the skeletal god."
"Knowing that every being in this tomb refers to him as a Supreme Being which we assume are their version of gods, and since they will be having an alliance with us, when we win with the Empire, they are gonna be the new rulers!"
"Is this bad?"
"Maybe, we will see in the future, if they are worse than the Empire, we will fight them."
"Can we win?! I'm pretty sure that little dark elf child is above Esdeath herself! And we know how monstrous that woman is and there is someone, that little elf child, who is stronger than her!"
"I'm not sure myself Leone but I think that the dark god has a weakness, see his pulsating red orb inside him?"
"Yes? So you think that is his weakness? Why would he let his weakness be easily seen? They are not danger beasts, Akame."
"Then if we can't win against them, we will have to hope that boss Najenda will agree to this alliance. And I'm sure even if she is stubborn, who can't miss the opportunity to have an alliance with a god? And having a high chance of winning a war without worrying about dying? I think that alone can convince her."
Hearing a click in the door of the room, the Night Raid quickly turns their heads and the cute maid with an eyepatch speaks to them in her monotone voice. They find this maid weird, she barely has any expressions, but knowing that maybe she is not human they just ignore it.
"Ainz sama is ready to speak to your boss so you will have to travel with Ainz sama, go take a bath, i will escort you."
"Um we didn't bring any spare clothes with us, is it okay to refuse? I think we still smell good."
"Negative, we have many clothes and Ainz sama ordered that those clothes be given to you, so you need not to worry, let's go."
Sighing in defeat, all of them follow the maid to a glorious and majestic bathroom that you can mistake as a large pool with how big it is. After a bath with their new clothes,they were given foods for travel, like fries,burgers and sodas.
"Lets go outside, Ainz sama is ready to leave."
Outside, they saw 3 carriages pulled each by 2 skeletal horses with flickering yellow green light around it. The Night raid, especially Leone felt chills just being near the horses but she knew that they were not gonna harm them so she calmed herself.
"Now, let's just wait for Ainz sama."
After 2 minutes of waiting and the dark god came out from a gate, He is wearing a red robe with gold linings with huge gems decorating it, giving him a very majestic look but also frightening because of his skeletal face. To his right side is the angel wearing a white priest-like robe with gold linings and a white mitre hat with a golden symbol of the tomb's flag in the middle, still wielding her now shortened golden spear. And to his left is a demon female with white horns on her head with folded black wings wearing a light blue dress and holding a black staff with a floating black orb. Following them is a beautiful tan skinned maid with red hair tied to a braid, Leone sensed some familiarity in her. They walk gracefully until they are in front of the Night Raid.
"Good afternoon Night Raid, let me introduce you to these two beautiful ladies at my side, Albedo,Rubedo and Lupusregina Beta."
Being called beautiful by their master, the two yanderes and even Lupus glanced at their lord with lustful and loving eyes, then the three monsters bowed slightly to the humans, they didn't care anymore, happiness filled their hearts so much that they just didn't mind bowing to the humans.
"Good afternoon too lord Ainz, um the sun is gonna set soon and we don't have any camping equipment, we do have of course personally and we are willing to share but we think it's not proper to use our dirty camping equipment by you lord Ainz and we didn't have enough food."
"You don't have to worry about that. Inside the carriages are plenty of food and there is a maid inside ready to prepare your food, the carriages are quite large inside so you can sleep there."
"I see then let us go lord Ainz."
"Umu."
'Aaaahhh finally I got to see and feel the outside! So many trees and good smelling air and unpolluted, I'm so lucky to be isekai'd! But are there any players before me?'
Entering their carriage, the Night Raid sees a pretty maid that has short brown hair sitting, waiting for them with a smile.
"Hello guests of Ainz sama. I am Increment, may we get along even for a short while."
An hour later while eating their snacks, and clearing the awkward silence between them and the maid, the assassins began asking questions about the dark god…
Meanwhile Ainz inside his carriage with his two guardians clinging to him with their arms wrapped around his bony arms, began to mentally sweat because of embarrassment and the lack of libido.
'Aaaahhhh please spare me! Even though I want to, I can't do it! Let me go even for a second!'
Najenda is worried, her four assassins are not returning. Did they encounter a danger beasts that they can't defeat? Shit! She should have reject Akame! and there is this dark pillar she keeps mentioning before leaving, this is really bad, she knew it! This is their third day away, they should be back yesterday! She, along with other Night Raid members named Lubbock and Mine are with her on the cliff of their base, still waiting for Akame and the others.
'If they did not return this morning, we will find that dark pillar ourselves, shit! Akame, please return alive with the others.'
2 hours later they finally saw something moving in the woods and it's coming fast based on how the many birds quickly flew away, then they finally saw it. Three carriages bearing an unknown flag pulled by skeletal horses?! What is this?! This is unknown and impossible to begin with! Quickly readying themselves for battle, they come down fast to find out what is going on and what these monsters are.
Waiting patiently and wearily, the carriages finally stopped, and out came their friends Akame,Sheele,Bulat and Leone. They are alive and they are wearing expensive looking clothes, what is going on? Seeing the flags again and the beautiful carriages, they began to wonder if this was an unknown nation? And Akame who came to them first began to talk to her,
"Boss, sorry we took too long but something really unexpected happens."
"I can see that, but what are these monsters Akame? They are really scary and impossible to exist."
"I know boss but this is reality and these are possible now. Now we want you all to remain quiet and do not show any hostility."
"Why? Are there many more monsters inside?"
"Yes. but this is different boss, not some mere monsters."
"I see, then you can trust me on this."
Preparing themselves for the unknown, the remaining three members of night raid waited with worried but with curiosity on their faces. And at last the second carriage door finally opened and what comes out are a extremely beautiful girl with horns on her head wearing a light blue dress and on her hips are a pair of black wings, second is a another beautiful girl but this one is much beautiful, like they are seeing a literal goddess, she is wearing white priest robes and a white mitre hat, giving her a feeling of holiness around her, in contrast to the other female that gives off a feeling of dread. And after them is a being that makes their bodies run cold, the person who come out or rather an abomination is a skeletal being that is emitting a dark aura around him but abruptly disappeared as if it were their imagination, it is dressed in a majestic red robe and they can clearly see its bald skeletal head. The final being is a maid with twin braided red hair. They walked regally and stopped in front of them. The skeletal being is so tall that it towers over them all giving a more intimidating appearance.
"Good morning Night Raid. Are you their boss Najenda? I am Ainz Ooal Gown, the ruler of the Great Tomb of Nazarick."
'A ruler?! Shit!'
"Ahem, yes I am Najenda your majesty Ainz Ooal Gown. it is nice to meet you."
"Just Ainz is fine. Is this all of the members of the night raid?"
"Yes your majesty, they are 7 of us, we are the intelligence and assassination branch of the revolutionary army."
"Hmm , then let us talk. I want to propose something to the revolutionaries."
'What?! What is this talk?' Najenda glanced at Akame and the others but they all gave a nervous chuckle and a knowing look that means: "this is safe boss.". With a sigh, she smiled.
"Then let's go to our base lord Ain-"
"Ainz sama, the eight edge assassins spotted a group of people coming in our direction, they looked hostile with weapons, what shall be done to them?"
"Hmm what a pain, miss Najenda, do you have any idea who they might be?"
"I think they are mercenaries hired by the empire, your majesty, we are a wanted organization after all and they wanted to find our base of operations."
"I see, enemies then, Albedo, tell them to capture the mercenaries and bring them here."
"Yes, Ainz sama."
A minute later and four humans showed up tied in what looks like spider silk and carrying them are spiders that are almost half the size of an adult human. The humans, seeing the skeletal being, screamed and squirmed from their captors. One of the spiders appeared to be kneeling in front of the skeletal being and spoke.
"Ainz sama these are all the humans that are trying to disturb your talks."
"Hmm, miss Najenda, what shall be done to them?"
"Mostly we kill spies and mercenaries that are working with the Empire, your majesty."
"I see, then Albedo give the two of them to Demiurge and one each for Entoma and Solution."
"Yes, Ainz sama~!"
'Ugh, when she speaks like that, I get chills. Can she stop?!'
Then the one called Albedo sends the four humans to a dark swirling circle called gate but not before Najenda sees them begging and screaming with their lives and she is sure that those four are going to be tortured based on the sadistic smile that briefly appears on the demon woman. She is not sure now to continue the talk, should she refuse? No, maybe she will observe and see the end of these upcoming meeting.
"Then miss Najenda now that the enemies are taken care of, let us continue."
"Yes your majesty Ainz, let's go to our base.
Inside the base, Ainz inspected it first; there are no barriers or spells that can prevent spying or any traps. 'Maybe this world really doesn't have magic after all, that's why when we explain to them what magic is, they almost can't believe themselves that humans can possess magic, even danger beasts that exist in this world do not have any magic or mana, it's just natural.' What is this world? Are there any danger beasts that are comparable to a world enemy? Or any teigus that is comparable to a world item? Haah this is scary to think about, just ignore it Satoru!'
"Ainz sama this place is a disgrace, this is unbefitting of you to step on this filthy floor supreme one."
"Now Albedo don't be like that, I'm sure they clean this place everyday."
"Yes your majesty, we clean our base everyday, after all we can't work if it's dirty." said Najenda with an annoyed tone, clearly not liking the mockery of the demon. At least this skeletal being is polite.
After they sat down at the sofa and served their drinks by the red haired maid, they began their meeting, all are present. Waiting for the dark god to speak.
"Then I will start first, just like I said to your other members, I would like to ally ourselves to the revolutionaries."
Najenda glanced at the four for confirmation, only to see that they are nodding, confirming the skeletal being's words.
"Then what would be the reason for this alliance, your majesty?"
"You see, when I arrived on this world, we surveyed our surroundings and found 200 soldiers belonging to this called 'Empire' when we captured them and with my trusted interrogators, we found that this empire is so rotten and corrupt, something that I dislike personally, they even have slavery that I despise greatly. So when we found out that they are revolutionaries that are fighting and currently at war with them, i thought this is great opportunity to cleanse this world from their filth that is dirtying this world, since we are somewhat on the same goal, this is the chance for your army, let's work together and i will guarantee the protection of Night Raid and not worrying about dying anymore."
Najenda's eyes widened by what she hears, especially the last one, not worrying about dying?! What does he mean by that?! Do you mean?! No! That's impossible! There is no teigu capable of that!
Seeing her reaction, Ainz decided to finally spill the beans that will guarantee the success of this alliance.
"Indeed Miss Najenda, we are capable of that, I already demonstrated that to your members, and I know that there are no teigus capable of that but we are not talking about teigus here, we are talking about magic."
Magic?! Is this true?! She glanced at the four again only to find out that they are smiling and nodding. Again confirming what this god says, she didn't know what to call this skeletal being. Is this a god? If he is truly a god, then she should accept this alliance. But there is still a question bothering her.
"T-then if what you are saying is true, I'm sure they are heavy conditions your majesty, what you are offering is very valuable."
"I think this is not that heavy, my conditions are simple, we want you to give us any humans that you assassinated or any humans that are soldiers and higher ups from the empire in this war, we want to have as many humans as possible, especially the humans with teigus as we want to study them. And finally, we want the empire when it falls."
"The empire?! Why your majesty?"
"You see, to obtain true peace and for this to not happen again, i want to guide the humans of the empire to what i call a utopia, a perfect kingdom, where others are helping each other and of accepting of other races, as you can see we are not humans, so we want to be accepted on this world."
"I see, then can you promise a prosperous kingdom and the innocents to be protected?"
"Yes, I promise in the name of Ainz Ooal Gown. miss Najenda."
"Then your conditions are acceptable, your majesty Ainz Ooal Gown." Najenda said with a slight bow.
"I'm glad with our talk Miss Najenda, and you can call me just Ainz you know, we are allies now after all."
"Then, lord Ainz, do you want to rest for a while or have a tour of our base?"
"A tour? I am honored, please guide us." Ainz said as he stood up.
Then the tour of the Night Raid base takes place, and when they are done, Ainz was happy with the tour so he wants to reward Najenda.
"Miss Najenda, what happened to your arm and eye? If you don't mind me asking?"
"Ah this, this is because of my battle with the strongest general of the empire. Esdeath. "
"I see, is she strong?"
"Yes, she is a monster, she can manipulate ice at will because of her teigu. She mastered it enough to the point that she can stop time."
'Stop time?! Is she a player? That is possible, wait no! She said she mastered it, we need as much information about her as possible.'
"She can stop time, hmm. By that skill alone, she is dangerous enough, but is that all?"
"Well she can summon a large ball of ice out of thin air. And several icicle spears to pierce her opponents."
'That's all?! That's not impressive at all!'
"I see, so miss Najenda we need to leave now, but i want to give you a parting gift."
"What is it lord Ainz?"
"This, [Break Item], Rubedo."
"Yes Ainz sama."
Then Najenda saw that her mechanical arm just disappeared and the beautiful blonde haired woman raised her hand and said [greater heal] and her previously lost arm is now there and she can feel it! She immediately cried but noticed that she was crying with both of her eyes, she removed her eyepatch and her previously lost eye can now finally see! Bullock and Mine saw their boss with wide eyes. This is impossible until now! This scary looking skeleton. What is he? A god?! Or maybe this magic can do this normally? They can't be skeptical, this is a happy moment for their boss and if she called this being a god then so be it.
Najenda stared at Ainz for a minute then he hugged him! His guardians stared on the human with rage and jealousy in their eyes while the maid Lupusregina was furious for touching their lord with their filthy hands. But all their hatred and jealousy stopped when their master raised his hand. Ainz patted her head and let her cry for a moment then said.
"I am glad that you are this happy Miss Najenda but unfortunately we must leave."
"Are you sure? Don't you want to eat before leaving? I think it is time for lunch."
"Hahahaha just relax Miss Najenda and calm yourself and you will realize that I am a skeleton therefore i can't eat."
"A-ah yes, I'm sorry, thank you lord Ainz, for this alliance and restoring what I lost."
"No problem with that, Lupusregina, shadow demons."
"Yes! Ainz sama!"
"Lupusregina you will stay here with our new allies and your task is to protect and assist them when they need any help, shadow demons, stick to their shadow and become their spies, you will obey anything they order you all."
"Yes Ainz sama."
Seeing the so-called shadow demons attached to their shadows, the Night Raid felt uneasy but not Najenda, seeing their boss with a completely happy smile. They ignored their uneasiness to their new allies.
After the two leaders shake their hands in farewell, Ainz and the others leave and the assassins watch their carriages disappear through the forest.
"Isn't Ainz sama amazing su~? By the way I'm Lupusregina Beta, one of the pleiades su~."
"Yes, lord Ainz is amazing, welcome to Night Raid miss Lupusregina, I hope you enjoy your stay in our home."
"Don't worry about that su~."
"Then let's go, you all, we are gonna have a meeting about this alliance and our new allies."
"Yes boss!"
In a remote village, there are three young villagers saying their farewells to their village chief, and now on their way to the capital for their village.
"All right! Ieyasu, Sayo, aren't you two excited?! Let's go to the capital for our village and adventure!
"Don't shout idiot, you may attract danger beasts to us! And of course we are also excited Tatsumi. This is for our village afterall.
"That's right Tatsumi but unfortunately we are unable to go three together, me and sayo need to see someone that already recruits us to a rich noble family, and because you wanted to become a soldier we need to separate ways later."
"Haah, you're right, be careful alright? Sayo,Ieyasu."
"Of course Tatsumi, Sayo will protect me from danger beasts."
"Stupid, i will run and will leave you behind when that happens."
"Hahahahahahahaha!"
"Hahahahahahahaha!"
"Hahahahahahahaha!"
"Then for the village and for our dreams!"
"For the village and for our dreams!"
