Hello, reader! Firstly, I want to apologize for the late update. I've been more and busier...ok, maybe just a little busier but it truly exhausted and when I do get back from work, I either go right to bed or just play some game to release some stresses. I did try my best to kick my own ass to get on my computer and tried to write, but thanks to my empty tank of energy, I had a hard time coming up with ideas, plots, and line, hell I feels like this chapter is half ass lazy writing but I don't have time to rewrite everything or god tier skill to edit it and it been so long since I update so I decided to just update. I was planning to update like maybe a month ago but something happen to both my hands so I have to rest to get better. Anyway here you go, sorry if I stopped the chapter in a bad time but I'm too tired to go on, also sorry if this chapter is a half ass if it bad I will edit it and reupload. Also, I was thinking of rewrite chapter 1 to somewhere I forgot but if I'm to do so I have to put next chapter on hold, so tell me what you think and I's decide. Here is chapter 8 and enjoy!

E-Rantel - Outside the gate

Finally, after the meeting, Momonga and company have finally set out for their journey to the Forest near the small Village called the Carne Village. The forest that Nfirea has told them about is 100 meters away from the Carne Village.

"So we're going to take the northern route and then east along the outskirts of the forest to Carne Village"

"We got it, Nfirea. Momon, are you ready?"

"Umu"

Momonga responds to Peter with a nodded. After confirming that they are ready, they began their journey. They are traveling with only one small wagon, Nfirea will be driving the wagon while everyone else is walking. Lukrut will be leading a little further ahead so that he can spot for any possible danger. Momonga and Silver will be on the Left side while Peter, Ninya, and Dyne on the right side. The rear of the wagon will be Nishiki, Takemi, and Narberal, the last person is sleeping in the wagon peacefully.

"I must apologize to you guys again for my carefree sleeping friend on the wagon, while we are working. She didn't have any sleep yesterday because of the people next door"

Both Peter and Nfirea look at Momonga then turn to his friend that is sleeping peacefully in the cargo, Nakisa

"Ah don't worry about it, Momon. I don't mind it because we already have enough security anyway so it's alright"

"I agree with Peter, Mister Momon. Plus, a sleepy bodyguard won't be effective, so let's let her rest for now"

"Thank you, both very much"

Nakisa was supposed to be with Momonga and Touch Me on the left side of the wagon but now she is having her beauty sleep.

"Yes, Thank you, very much. Because now I don't have to carry her along the way, you guys are a life savior" After

After Takemi said those comment, he let out a relief sigh and everyone laugh. After that, it was dead silent, but someone decided to make the flow of talking going by saying this.

"Don't worry guys, Nothing troublesome will happen as long as we don't get ambushed, of course, I am lead so nothing can hide from me from my sharp eyesight and hearing. Just look at Miss Nabe, She is so calm because I am here~"

That cause the black hair beauty to sneer at him with an annoying look. She the pointed at him and look at her creator.

"Father, can I please roast that rubbish cockroach and bury it in the deep of hell?"

Touch Me is currently facepalming himself and shake his head while Nishiki is patted her head and rejecting her proposal. After that, they continue to take the road up north carelessly while Lukrut is still talking and praised himself of how useful he is for Narberal.

If Momonga were to be here alone he would be very careful of every step he is taking but not in this case. If a powerful enemy shows up now, they would get beaten by him and his friends with eases he believed. Because right now he has two World Champion from YGGDRASIL with him and a warrior that can rival their power, also a Ninja that mostly build to be a Glass Cannon and a Magic Caster that may not match the power and level of his friend and him, but consider her full power in this new world, she's still considered very strong person in this world. If all of this is not enough, then Momonga himself, will throw away this armor and use his full potential as a Magic Caster to support his friends. If that is still not enough, then he will call for his other friends for help. IF that is sill not even enough, Hell, he will call for all the level 90+ NPC from Nazarick to just kill the piece of shit, because if that's what it take to kill an enemy that need this much firepower then it will be considered a World Boss. And if all that didn't work, then he will just very retreat and hide from the cruel world in his home, Great Tomb of Nazarick.

it has been almost an hour of them traveling to up north and so far nothing has happened. The carefree is still having her sleeping beauty while everyone else is having their own conversation with each other. Momonga and Touch me are discussing on what to do after the current job that they are doing. Ninya is getting more information about the Samurai and Ninja from the two man while Dyne is just quietly listening to it, Ninya doesn't particularly need to know about it but it does not hurt to have some knowledge about it and it's also a way to kill time. Takemi and Nishiki told the boy their knowledge of the lore of Samurai and Ninja, they know a lot of it but they are no expert but even so, they need to pretend like they do or they will look like a fool.

"You said that Ninja and Samurai don't get along, then why are you two friend then?"

"It's not that they are enemies, let's just say that Samurai fight with honor while Ninja doesn't. It just really hard for them to be found on each other because of their belief of their way of combat. it's the same like Knight that fight with honor and for the people while Mercenary fights freely and for money"

"I see, but that didn't answer my question, Takemi"

"Ok, look. I do, hate to fight dirty and people who do so, but if you let those ways of thinking get in your way then you will only make enemies. For example, throughout my life, I have never trusted any of Samurai than my Ninja friend here, Zedd, to watch my back"

"Same goes for me, You may have a different belief but who know, maybe that person that you suppose to be an enemy with, turn out to be the most trusting person than your family. You must not let hatred blind you for making allies. Because you can not grant peace if there is hate in the way, instead of sitting down and understanding each other and work things out peacefully, they rather take out their weapon and take a life from someone to create more hatred"

Ninya just listening to the tall Ninja with awe while the big bearded man is nodding in approval with a smile.

"Look like you are a wise man, Zedd"

Dyne complimented the Ninja and was still being agreed.

"Thank you, Dyne, even though I don't consider myself that wa-"

Suddenly he was patted on the back from the tale Samurai.

"Don't think so lowly of yourself, Zedd. If people said that you are one, then you are one"

"Whatever you says, big guy"

"By the way, Zedd. Since you have a daughter then that mean you have a lover? why is she not here?"

Ninya question got Nishiki off guard while Takemi is trying to hold in his laughter. He has no choice but to lie.

"W-well...You see o-our relationship weren't working because I like to travel around so I can never be there for her...So we decided to move on with our life and I decided to rise Nabe on my own she can't do so...Now she has nothing to do with my life anymore, yes that is it..."

"Oh I see"

"Really, Zedd? I remember that she was sleeping with 5 Ogres"

"EHH?!"

"STOP WITH YOUR BULLSHIT LIEs, YAMATO!"

The tall Samurai began to let out a big laughter while Momonga and Silver try to hold in their laugh.

"S-sorry, sorry, it was a joke Bahahaha!"

"Ahhh, You two are too loud!~"

Everyone turn to the voice that came from the wagon, it was Nakisa who is just woken up.

"Ah, You finally awake, Seiso"

"Yeah, no thanks to them But whatever, where are we now, Silver?

"We are still going up north but we should be close to our checkpoint"

"Aww, I thought that we will at least start camping by the time I woke up..."

"Well, as you can see we are still walking, so get down here"

"No!- Hmm?"

Before she could argue with the Silver Knight, she felt something that caused her to become serious.

"We are being watched..."

Her statement gotten everyone off guard but not her friends.

"W-what do you mean we are being watched, Seiso? I don't see anyone..."

"Yea I have to agree with Peter, I don't hear or see anything"

Lukrut was going to scan the premier but was stopped.

"Don't look and don't panic, just keep calm and continue moving"

Everyone nodded their head and do as she says.

"Look like our stalker is not human...my instinct is telling me that they are demihuman by their stare"

"Goblin? Or maybe Ogre..."

"I don't think they are Ogres, if they are then I would have spotted them right away because of their size and lack of stealth, I'm not a Ranger so I don't have the super eyesight but I can feel the gaze and my hearing is really good too"

"T-that sound amazing, Seiso"

"I know right, Ninya?- Oh? I can hear more footsteps incoming from over there..."

Nakisa slowly turn to where the sound of the footsteps is and stare at the tree line from the left side of the road, the distant of the road and the forest are great. Right now Nakisa and her company are in the Plainfield that is surrounded by the forest. The road that they are using are in the middle of the Plainfield, the Plainfield is quite widely large so they are very easy to be spotted from the forest. Because of that, they are in a very disadvantaged compear to their stalker, even so, they also have a little advantage. The distance from the forest and the road are long and if the stalker decided to show themselves, Nakisa and her team will have enough time to be prepared for an attack by the time they reach them from the tree line.

A couple of second of staring, she spotted something in between the bush, it was an ugly green face of Goblin. Right when she spotted the Goblin, she grins widely and looks at it in the eye and show a little tiny bit of kill intent, to let it know that she know.

"There's that little shit face Goblin! No wonder it's hard to see! It was the ugly green face of his that blend so will with the bush over there!"

She pointed at the bush where the Goblin is and everyone follows her pointing, Lukrut began to scan the bush like crazy and finally he found the bastard.

"Aha, you are right Seiso! That Goblin face fit so well with that bush"

The Goblin was shocked that he was found but most of all, He also felt something unpleasant that cause him to panic even more so he ran and cause the Bush to move for everyone to see.

"And he ran away..."

"I don't think he is running, Lukrut. He is reporting to his buddy, that is my bet, so we have two choices"

"Everyone turns to her.

"We either wait and prepare ourselves or just run. I favor we kill them all so that one problem can get out of our way when we reach to our checkpoint. Also, we can collect them for money, I see so many wins in this choice"

"You're right. That does sound nice..."

Peter began running his brain for any possible problem or side effect.

"Let slaughter them all I say!"

Takemi said with eagerness.

"Extra money can never hurt anyway, plus it's a Goblin, it can't be that bad"

"Even so, Zedd. We can't let our guard down just simply like that"

"I agree with Silver, if we going to do this we should at least be more cautious and plan things out"

"A-are you sure about this, Momon?"

"Well, I don't think we have any choices. Plus, I am sure with our numbers and force alone is enough"

Even so, Ninya was still skeptical about the idea of fighting them. Not because she scared of them or anything but because they don't have any information about the enemy, so who know how much they may have? They might have an army that is ready to attack. Ninya was nervous, then someone patted her on the back, she turns and was meet with Dyne, her teammate, and friend.

"Don't worry Ninya, We got this so there is nothing to worry about. Momon is right, also if they decide to pick a fight then we have no choice but to fight back and defense ourselves. Plus, something is telling my that the only one is going to get hurt are those Golins"

The Big man said to him with a calm smile that can get rid of any uneasiness he may have. He turns to his other two friends and was met with a smile of confidence that eases him down a little more. Since she can't come up with anything else, she sighed and nodded to Dyne.

"Alright, let's do this"

"Ok, I guess everyone is down then?"

Everyone nodded but Nfirea was a little nervous. The silver Paladin went up to him and patted his head, Nfirea the look up at him with a questionable look.

"It's alright Nfirea, Even if you don't trust anyone here to protect you, but trust ME, I won't led anyone hurting you as long as I, Silver of hopes and dreams is near you!"

Nfirea eyes spark a little then he shakes his head and nodded to Silver.

"Then please, I'll leave it to you!"

"Umu"

"Good, Now then, Peter. If you have any plan? If no then I can provide us with a few of mine"

"Ah, yes. Although, I am not sure because we still lake information of the enemy force. So, how about we consider two teams? The first team will play as offense and charged toward the enemys while the other team defense to protect Mister Nfirea?"

Momonga agrees to his plan, it was the same as his but he has some extra ideas to add into it.

"That sound good, but if you don't mind I can add a few extra idea into it"

"By all means, Momon"

"It's the same plan as yours but instead of charging in and fight them immediately, how about we wait and hold them off and let all of them in the battle zone so that we can wipe them all in one go? It's to make sure that none of them can manage to escape and be troublesome in the future with possible ravages. Also just in case, we will let Zedd to secure the surrounding forest for any possible hidden reinforcement? If there is any, then he will eliminate them all, if possible. But if they're proof to be challenging, then Nakisa will lead him a hand"

"You don't have fate in me, Leader-sama? How mean of you"

"I do have fate but just in case you need any, she will be there when you gave the signal"

"I don't think I'll need any for these Goblins but I'll make sure to do so if I ever do"

Momonga nodded to the tall Ninja and continue from where he left off.

"Now then, If there isn't any, then you are to regroup with us and help us annihilate them all in one swipe and collect our payment"

Some of the Sword of Darkness and even Nfirea, receive a shiver run down their spine because of what the dark warrior just let out, He said it with confident and so sure that they're strong enough to do so with ease. From Peter point of view, it look more like The warrior in black is just about to step on fews ants, that's all.

"Is that alright with you guys, Sword of Darkness?"

"A-ah yes, Momon!"

"Good, Now then...shall we began?"

Again, another shiver.

''''I swear that I could see a smile under that helmet!''''

Sword of Darkness thought the same.

Great Tomb of Nazarick - 6th Floor - Amphitheatrum [Arena]

The Amphitheatrum is the arena in the 6th Floor and is the only arena in the Great tomb of Nazarick. The size of the arena is as big and maybe bigger than the Roman Colosseum, The Amphitheatrum have enough room to storage 50 body and still have enough room for more, in fact, it's being use by the giant gray goat right now to experiment the Goblins and Ogres corpses that were brought in from the Great Forest of Tob.

"Hmm...It works...but I remember this ring can also upgrade tier one zombie into tier two and three...am I missing something?"

The gray goat is murmuring to himself about the corpse in front of him. Well, not really a corpse anymore but a zombie of Goblin. He's looking at the zombie that is staring at him dumbly, he then turns to the small Devil that is floating beside the zombie, the Imp.

"Also, I can summon devil from nowhere, that sound about right. Because of how much I consume mana, I have to rely upon my summon to buy me time to get mana back."

Ulbert, known as the strongest Magic Caster in the guild, his class is called the Wold Disaster, a class that has incredible magic firepower. Also, he took and levels classes that further specialized in offensive ability. Because of his offensive power alone, he's easily on the top five in Ainz Ooal Gown. But because he has such a firepower, he can easily burn through mana very quickly. That is why he come up with a way to defense himself when he is out of mana, he will summon devil before he used any ability that will eat his mana quickly to defense him from any threat. After he used the ability which cost big among of mana he will let the devil, fight in his stand and get his mana back by using mana potion when he is alone or if he's lucky, one of his party members will have mana regeneration spell. If they do, he might be unstoppable. Of course, unless there is a Ranger or Assassin that can one shot him from behind, like Nishikienrai who can burst squishy player down like hot knife cuts through butter.

"[Undead Evolve]"

He cast the second spell of the ring ability. the Ring of the Undead Slaver, this ring has two ability spell once you put it on, back in the game, once you put the ring on you will unlock two extra ability. The first ability is called [Raise Undead] when this spell have been cast after the living has passed away, it will enslave the dead corpses into a mindless undead for the caster to command it to do as they please. The second ability is called [Undead Evolve] this spell can only work on the undead that was rise from the Ring of the Undead Slaver only, Any outsider will not be affected by it. The result of this spell is that it will evolve the undead, it will become stronger, faster and the skin will become as thick as a thick tree, it will take several swings of a heavy ax from the human to even get through it, lastly, level rise. But because of this buff, it will have the limit of numbers of 10, that can be used on. But since this is a new world, there are many things that was changed and this ring is one of them.

It has been a minute after he cast the spell on the zombie, yet nothing happen. It's was the same like last time he cast not too long ago, now he doesn't know what to do.

"What am I missing? It evolved back then, the last time I used it in the game, did it change?"

While Ulbert is thinking to himself, someone called him.

"Ulbert-san, are you busy?"

"Not really, Punitto-san. Is there something you need from me?"

"Yes, in fact, Momonga-san has contacted me 2 hours ago"

"2 hours ago? What does our humble Guild leader request?"

" He was reporting in, that is all. Also, his mission is rather a successful, Momonga-san and the other has become part of the Adventurer and has finally gotten their first job"

"That's a good news then"

"I agree, but it's still not enough, he said."

"Please explain, Punitto-san"

"He said that the Adventurer have rank, sooo-"

"He is currently a newbie..."

"Yes, so he does not have access to much valuable information, even at all. So he want to raise the other and his fame and rank, so that is where he required our assistance"

"What are we waiting for then? I been stuck in this damn for quit sometime now"

"Well, I was trying to come up with a plan but most of them are just too much and it will cause suspicious for many folks"

"How so?"

"Look at it this way, imagine a nobody, especially a noob. Slain a world boss with ease. So of course, everyone will think that the noob a hacker, cheater or whatever"

"You have your point"

"So, I want them to do something big but make it look like they work hard for it, but knowing Touch Me-san, Nakisa-san, and Takemi-san strength. Nothing in this new world can stand against them if the report of the Carne Village was right that is. If they said that Dominion Authority is the most powerful Angel in this world...it's just a level 50 angel by the way. Momonga-san told me that it only hurt a little when it attacked, even though he is an Undead Skeleton and by taking a positive attack like that and to only hurt a little, then it is nothing much to worry about. But just because I said that, does not mean we should just completely drop our guard down so easily"

"I see"

"Anyway, then I remember that you were trying to turn those filthy from the forest into an Undead. So how did it goes? Depend on your report, it might be useful for our Leader and my new plan"

"Well...I manage to turn them into a zombie Goblin, that is the first ability of Ring of the Undead Slaver anyway"

"That's good"

"Yes, but there is one problem"

"...Which is?"

"You see, this ring also have another ability, and that is to evolve any undead that was affected by the ring, to become stronger and raise its level as well. But the problem that I am currently having is that it won't work"

"What do you mean?"

"It's not working, they did not evolve"

"Hmmm...Remember that I said some stuff changed when we came to this new world? So maybe you have to feed them or something? Because usually in my knowledge, every monster need to consume something in order to upgrade itself"

Ulbert didn't reply to him but instead, the goat is in deep thought.

'Hmm, what he said is true...then maybe I should...'

"You might be right Punitto-san, let me try that now"

"Sure"

Ulbert then turns to the zombie that is still standing on the same spot.

"You"

He pointed at the zombie.

"Go ahead and consume those Goblin corpses over there"

The zombie made a groan and comply with his command. The Undead Goblin then made its way to one of the dead Goblin and began to devour the body. that was his first command for the zombie so far, it's nothing special but he is a little bit annoying of how slow this zombie consuming it meal right now. it has been a minute and it barely ate an arm, he let out a frustrating sigh and facepalm himself.

"C'mon, Eat faster!"

The zombie obeys and starts eating like a hungry fat man devouring a meat. After an awhile, it finally finishes and then the gray goat starts casting the second ability of the ring on the Undead.

"[Undead Evolve]"

"..."

Still nothing.

"Maybe he needed more? Oi you, eat another one of those bodies and make it quick!"

Its complied.

After waiting for the undead to finish, he cast again.

"[Undead Evolve]"

"...Oooahhh"

He facepalmed again, harder than before.

"This is gonna take a while..."

It has been 40 minutes and the zombie finally finishes devoured another corpse. After countless of try, this made it the 10th body that the undead ate. The goat is worn out because of boredness of waiting and failure execute, so he decided that this is going to be his last try.

"Here goes another...take 10, [Undead Evolve]"

He tiredly cast the spell and still nothing.

"Enough! I can't take any more of thi-"

Suddenly the Undead Goblin belly split open and multiple sharp teeth came out on the both side of the open belly wound that represents an open mouth with sharp tooths. The Undead Goblin body also became taller, bigger and muscular, the nail also grows an inch to be a razor claw on both hands.

"Oh, it works! Yes! Yess! Yeesss!"

The Goat began to start celebrating for his accomplishment even though this is nothing worthy of praising about but because it took so long and he wastes his time over it, in the end, it was not in vain. So it is worthy to celebrate for the Ulbert. The Goblin is still in the processing to evolve and Ulbert decided to observe it while it developing itself.

Few place on the body of the zombie were being torn apart by the bones that are being mutated. Because of that, the sound of bond cracking can be heard through the arena, and it kind of made Ulbert a little unpleasant. After a few more second the undead has finally evolved into its potential form, The past mindless undead Goblin that was here could not be seen anywhere, instead, a bloodthirsty beast appears in its place.

"Ohhh...It look almost the same like-"

Orges. The Undead Goblin, look almost as identical as the Orges but more muscular. Also, a few upgraded compear to the old version, For example, the bones on the elbow have grown and reaped out of the skin into a shape like a shark fin but the tip is pointier like wolf fang that can pierce through flesh with ease. But in this case, it might be even more than just a flesh. The ugly nails become a sharp beast like claws that can tear down human like butter.

"-Ogre...Heh whatever, at this point it looks cooler. Anyway, can you hear me? Raise one of your hand if so"

The Zombie Goblin opens its eyes and it glows bright red and follows the instruction.

"Oh, he listens, good, good! Now I need to test your strength...but how?"

He needs to test the undead capacity and see how strong it is to determine how usefulness it can be to him. He could've used his Imp that he summoned but Ulbert wants to see, how powerful is this Evolved Undead is to this new world. Most of the Summon he possesses is above tier 4 and it's almost the same level as the undead but a little higher, so he won't get too much information out of it.

After a minute of thinking, an idea flashed his mind.

"Those human that Momonga-san locked up in the prison! Wait...hmmmm, I need more info"

"Punitto-san?"

"What is it, Ulbert-san? How the experiment goes?"

"It's like what you said, Punitto-san. They need to consume flesh so it can be upgraded, so thank you very much for your assistance. I thought I was wasting my time"

"That's good and no problem, that what friend are for and I'm glad I was able to help"

'Friends...huh?'

Back when he used to attend to school, the elementary school. Ulbert never made any friends because of kids back in school always thought he was weird, nobody wanted to befriend him, not even the unpopular kids and also because he is a loner, bullies started to pick on him but regardless he never told his parent about what he had to go through in school because they got their hands full with work to raise a trash like him, he always thought that way. He knows that his parent loves him that's why they are the only people he ever needed, but shortly later after he graduated from elementary school, his only 2 people that he could care for passes away. They died due to work relate and thank to the insurance that paid poorly, probably knowing that his parent is dying soon so they stop caring and only paid little so that they can still keep up their 'good' reputation. Because of that and losing his only 2 people that are closest to him, cause him to go through misanthropy. That's where the evil personality starts to build up inside of him, but he can't show that publicly so he has to improvise. That is where internet and games come in and he comes to love it, because no matter how weird he is or acts nobody will care and even if they do? Nobody knows him so he doesn't care. But regardless, no matter how many games he played he still can not find any friends. Until he got into one certain DMMO-RPG, YGGDRASIL. Of course, he didn't make friends right away, He tried joining many Clan and Guild but few of them did not welcome him and some were just boring and have no sign of progress.

He then decided to give up and just become a solo player, but that didn't turn out so well. It's because he was a solo that made him an easy target for Humanoid players, the Humanoid players like to hunt down Heteromorphic player and also what make it worst was that because most people find the Heteromorphic race or any monster race, in general, disgusting so there were third to fourth Humanoid race in the game. Because of that, they can out number Monster race with ease, so it was not easy for Ulbert to solo through the game by himself. But he can't do much, he wants to be with a group that he can get along and not have to fake himself to make him look good, no matter what he thought of he was on dead end. Until he did a raid dungeon with some group of players that were in the clan together called, Nine's Own Goal.

They talk freely and it seem everyone get along quite well with each out, the time he met them, they had only 14 members and wasn't big at the time but that were thrown aside because they are friendly and common to each other. When they were in the middle of the raid, Ulbert decided to be a little open to them and complain about how he was always being hunt down and how pisses he was about it. And that is where they offer him the invitation to become a member of their clan, he finds nothing wrong or bad with it so he accepted.

After being in the clan for 2 years he becomes friend with everyone...well, not really, there's Touch Me, Ulbert despises him but regardless he recognizes the knight of justice as one of the clan mates. He did not regret once for joining them and he was happy that he did.

'...Yes...friend. We all are friend'

Ulbert smile.

"Ulbert-san?"

The call snapped him out of his thought.

"A-ah yes?"

"Are you alright? You didn't respond to me earlier..."

"Oh, I'm fine!...s-sorry I was just thinking of something..."

"If you say so. But anyway, if you need some help, just ask"

"Yeah...I'll make sure to do so, Punitto-san"

"Good, now then is there anything else?

"Ah yes, there is. I have some few quests that need to be answered"

"Sure, go ahead. If it's within my knowledge"

"Thank you. Now then, I remember you said that our leader brought some trouble outsiders into Nazarick, right?"

"Yes. Well, to be precise, it's more like we imprison them and have Neuronist Painkill's interrogating them for any valuable pieces of information. The last update of the information was 2 hours ago"

"I see, good, good...but how do we know that he told us everything? You can torture someone for days none stop, but if the person has a strong moral and loyalty, then they might still hold some very useful intel or giving some false"

"That is true, but we can't do much. There's aren't any spell that can force them to be honest with us and spill everything out back in YGGDRASIL, so yeah"

Spell to force anyone to tell everything honestly, Ulbert recalls something similar. Mind control.

'I might have something familiar...what was it?...Ah! Crown of Slavery!'

Ulbert then reaches to his Infinite Backpack and pull out a plain wooden crown with a dark ruby gem in the middle. He took a look at the crown and smile happily likes a devil that has everything went as they please.

"I think I might have a solution for that, Punitto-san"

"W-what do you mean, is there really a spell for it?"

"Well, no. But something better"

"Well? Spill it out"

"I have an item that can turn anyone, I think, into a slave"

"...You know, Ulbert-san. I have been slightly bothered, but where the hell did you get al-"

"Soooo, since we have this-"

"..."

"-we can try it on their leader, to get some info and maybe other things! Isn't that convenience that I have it?"

"...Yes...VERY convenience..."

"Yep, yep. Anyway I'll need every report on what happen in Carn Village, you can send one of the maids to give it to me and I'll pass this item to the them, to you"

"Alright, I'll get one right now. Is that all?"

"Pretty much"

"Ok, now then. I must continue planning for Momonga-san fame"

"Do you think the zombies will be of bits of help with your scheme? if so, then I will produce more just in case"

"...We might...I don't know yet but yes, have it ready just in case we do. Also, have some of your own Sommons ready, they might be of use to us later"

"Will do, then farewell, for now, Punitto-san and good luck. if you need help from me, then do so"

"Same to you as well, Ulbert-san"

When his friend departs from the call, Ulbert still has that smile on his face from talking to his friend, but shortly was replace with a frown. As of right now, he has the face of full determination and dark look as well.

'If anyone of the trash from this world dares to lay their hand on them and our holy place then...'

He started to laugh, an evil one at that.

Great Forest of Tob

After Momonga finished briefing his plan to his team, the Goblin that spied on them ran to his allies to report of what he saw. It didn't take that long for him to reach them and after he did, he began his report to his leader. Unlike the other Goblins, the leader has more armor, he wears a Roman Galea helmet with a red crest on top of it, along with a small leather armor with two iron shouldering. His weapon of choice is a broadsword and a wooden small round shield.

While the scout is reporting to him of their target, he smirked and starts laughing.

"Only 11? HAHAHA!"

Because they saw their leader laughing, they then follow suit and laugh along with him.

"We outnumber them, This is going to be an easy fight!"

"B-but, leader! I'm telling you tha- AHHGGG!"

The Scout tried to protest the chief but was slap in the face like a bitch by his superior and follow by a few kick on the stomach.

"Are you coward?! I said that they have been outnumbered you shit! You hear me? Or do I have to kill you here like a coward you are?!"

"N-no Leader! I am no coward! Please don't!"

"Hmmm, very well!"

The Scout smile happily that his life has been spared.

"...But"

And that smile faded away.

"You will charge in the front along! Like the brave warrior you are!"

"Y-yes, i-it is h-honor..."

"Good! Now then you lot! Gear up and be ready for the massacre! HAHAHAHAH! You two!"

He pointed to the 2 underlining with a creepy smile.

"Go wake up those lazy Orges! And tell them we are going to hunt down us some humans, and if they make it quick, tell them they'll get to eat those bastards!"

"Yes, captain!"

"Good! Now it is time for some slaughtering!"

""""OHHH!""""

While the Goblins letting out motivate cheering, because of how idiotic they are, no. Because of how weak they are, they aren't aware that they are being watched, In the shadow of the forest.

"Slaughtering you say? I think not, it will be the opposite little Unglyface-chan"

He let out a small chuckle.

"Leader, they are on the move very soon"

"That's good to hear, Nishiki-san. What took them so long?"

"Celebrating, from what I'm seeing"

"Huh? The fight haven't even started yet"

"That should tell you how ignorant they are. If you really think that it's because they are very confident of their strength, then why haven't they detect me?"

"You're right, then this should be an easy fight"

"Is it even a fight, Momonga-san?"

Momonga let out a small giggle at his friend question.

"Sorry I was wrong, This is going to be a one-sided"

"Yep, Anyway I'll still keep watch of their movement and see if there is any ambush, but by how confident they are. My guess is that they are going for the full assault with everything and everything they have"

"if you really think that way then return to us and wait for them, if you like"

"No, just in case I will still keep watch. Plus I can also work on my stealth, even though I'm already a level 100 Ninja but that's of course, it's a game. In reality, I've only known little about Ninja and have no experience on how to be one, I might have a few idea thank to anime and game that are about them, but that is not enough...man, I wish there is someone that can show me how~"

"I see, then carry on. Also about Ninja, Maybe when we do return to Nazarick we can visit the Library, there might be something there that can help you, Nishiki-san"

"That sound wonderful Momonga-san! I need something that can help me, you can't just train to become something if you have no full knowledge about it..."

"Indeed. I also have to train my swordsmanship also, right now, all I can do is swing sword with my brutal strength. I can try to copy some fighting style from a movies and games"

"I think you can ask Cocytus right? You can just say that because you're a Caster and know little about swordsmanship, that you need him to help you train or at least give some bits of advice. I think that sound reasonable"

"I don't know about that...I mean, to them we are some kind of god. So if a god were to ask for training is a little..."

Before Nishiki could say something, he notices the Goblins began to move along with some Ogres.

"Ah! Look like they have some big toy"

"What may that be?"

"Ogres, 12 of them. But the majority of the force is the Goblins...from the look of it maybe more than 70, not sure. Don't want to waste time counting so expect that much"

"I see, Let us observe how things turn out, keep tracking them and keep an eye out for any trickery"

"Alright, then I'll get going"

"Umu"

Afte that, the Ninja hang up and began to move in closer to the enemy force.

Meanwhile Momonga and other are getting ready for the battle. The Sword of Darkness is standing by Nfirea alongside the Silver Paladin in exception of Luruk, who is standing on top of the Wagon to keep watch. The rest are waiting on the plain field and ready for the Goblins to arrive.

"I've heard the signal. Embrace yourself, Goblin is coming soon!"

Nakisa shout to let everyone know. Of course, that was for Sword of Darkness and Nfirea only. Everyone else already knows because there is no signal to began with, it was a lie. Because they can't just go and say 'Oh we can talk through mine!' That will be outraged for these people.

"I wonder what the signal was...I didn't hear anything and even if there was any, how did she hear it? Also earlier when she spot the Goblin..."

"Are you saying she has super sense?"

Ninya asked with Lukrut with shook.

"Well, yeah. I mean, I'm a Ranger and my hearing and sighting are above normal average people unless she..."

Lukrut is specious about Nakisa sense. He trained his sense to be superior to a normal person, he uses to know an old master hunter that compliment him for his sense. Compares to a regular person, the sensing that he posses should be close to the maximum of the realm of humanity. So, if Nakisa managed to beat him with ease, what kind of person or being is she?

"Well, let me tell you guys this"

Before Lukrut can go any further, the Silver Paladin interrupted him. Everyone around him then turns to his attention.

"Her Family died while they were traveling in the forest when she was 4 years old and she was the only survivor, that what I heard from her"

"O-oh..."

"...That must be...very unpleasant"

"Indeed it was, Peter..."

Dyne agreed with the young warrior with sympathy toward the Nakisa past.

"Yes, that what I thought at first. After her family passed away, guess what happened after that?"

The Sword of Darkness look at Touch Me confusingly, what happen after that? Before they could begin to guess, a voice interrupted them.

"Here they come!"

Everyone from Sword of Darkness tense up included Nfirea. They all then turn to Nakisa, who was shouting at everyone earlier, to find her pointing her finger in the direction of the tree line that is across from them. There was nothing at first when they look at it, a couple of seconds passed by, the tree then began to tremble. The sound of several footsteps could be heard from where the tree are trembling and every second went by, the sound increased by triple.

Usually, the Goblins around Great Forest of Tob will only have a medium size group of 15 to 20 members. They should not go any higher than that because they can't get along well with each other, the reason was that most of the chief in each group are self-beneficial, so if they ever did join arm together with another group, they'll be a fight for whoever can become the leader to rule over other. Because of that, there can never be an army of Goblins, until now. The sound of the footstep and the trembling that they are causing is not something a medium size group can do, only an army could do so.

"Oi, oi. Doesn't this sound more like a group of an army than a small group?!"

The Goblin finally showed themselves along with 12 Ogres that is using a giant wooden bat as a weapon. Most of the Goblins only wear old dirty brown cloth as a skirt to cover their little johnny and every each one of them carries different kind of weapons, such as the short sword, one-handed ax, wooden bat, and few of them are using bow and arrows. What stand out the most is one Gobline that is leading them all, he have a full top armor while its lower body only have 2 pairs of greaves and like the other, a dirty cloth to hid his junior. They all charging toward Momonga and his company without delay, it can easily be tell that they want blood just by the look on their face.

"M-Momon! We should retreat immediately! We are out numbered no matter how much you look at it, we're screw if we stay any longer!"

"..."

Peter didn't get any reply from the Dark Warrior.

"Momon, did yo-"

"We're going to stand our ground, Peter"

"W-what!? Momo-"

"Everything going to be ok"

Peter was dumbfounded, did he hear that correctly? We're going to be fine?! Is he crazy?!

Those thoughts ran through Peter mind wildly. Now Peter's mind is running faster than ever before, he trying to find a way to convince the Dark Warrior that there's no way that they will stand a chance against an army of Gobline no matter what. But before he could, someone patted his shoulder. It startles him a little but regardless he turns around to meet the man with the shining silver armor. He was a little confused about what the man want but most of all, he is scared for his life and guilty. He wouldn't mind dying here if it's by his decision but knowing his friends is going with him really scared him the most and what else is that they going to die because of a man that they just met told them to fight to the end is ridiculous. He could just screw everything and run away with his team, but that will be his last resort.

"We going to be alright, Peter. Trust him, or at least trust me"

"Sorry, Silver. But How can we trust you?! We just met for heaven sake!"

Silver sigh.

"Ok, How about this then? You guys can step back and watch if the battle is in our favor or not, then you can decide whether to run or stay. Or you guys can go ahead and keep going north and wait for us somewhere, or just screw everything and leave us, it's up to you as a leader to your team. If you think we going to get you guys kill then go ahead and run, we won't hold any grudge against you, but I'll say this much"

The Silver Paladin lean closer into him.

"We're going to win and we going to make some money"

Peter was again, dumbfounded. What is wrong with this people?! they going to die and he still thinks about money?!

He then looks into Silver eyes, even though the man wore a helmet, Peter could feel confident from the man, he doesn't know why but it eased him a lot. Peter then break eye contact from Silver and look away, he then gave it a second thought of whether to trust the man or not. Few second passed by and Peter let out a heavy sigh.

"...Ok, we'll stay and fight. But if my friend die, I'm holding you at fault"

That got Silver off guard a little but regard that, he chuckled.

"Alright, I'll take full responsibility if anything bad does happen. Now then prepare yourself, they getting closer. Nfirea, whatever happen, do not leave my side no matter the cost unless I say so!"

"Y-y-yes!"

After seeing his old leader get everything sorted out, Momonga smirk and chuckled.

"Such a hero wannabe"

"Well, what do you expect from a justice maniac, Yamato?"

"What are you talking about Zedd. I expect no less from our silver friend"

After saying that, Takemi let a loud laugh which causes Momonga and the other to smile.

"Agree, now then..."

Momonga drew out his twin greatsword from his back which gotten everyone attention, they look at him with awe because of how he easily wield it with ease. Takemi and Nakisa follow suite, Takemi brings out his Nodachi and drew it out from the sheath. The Nodachi he is using is a level 60 item, Most of the level cap player will throw away any low gears level item because it is trash and wasting inventory space. But some people actually kept some of them for its design and style, because there are nothing else about it but useless as trash and look nice for a collection.

This Nodachi is, in that case, it look nice but he has never gotten a chance to use when he reaches level cap but he collected it anyway. He likes to collect weapon that Samurai used for it looks or how powerful they are, it depends on some time but as long he like it, it will always have space on the wall somewhere in his room. If not then he will put it in Cocytus room instead, either way, he will always have room for weapon collection.

The Nodachi he is currently using is called the Hell Flame Dragon Claw, It's one of his top 5 looking blades in his collection. It looks simple, yet, very well designed and detail. It's a boss drop from the level 60 dungeon, he Obtained this Nodachi for his first time when he went in the dungeon, called Hell Fire Realm of Beast.

The blade itself is black, while the Hamon is in shape of a dark blood Asian dragon that ran along to the Kissaski, the tip is O-Kassaski. instead of using a ray skin to cover the tasuki, it was replaced by soft dark blood dragon skin while being wrapped by a black ito. Lastly, the tasuba is black with Asian dragons came out from both side and circle around each other while having a small pair of glow ruby eyes.

Nakisa doesn't carry her weapons because she can summon it with her special ring, which is called the Convenient Items Reach. The ring lets the user the ability to reach out to all their storage from anywhere and anytime instead of being there. But can only do it one at a time.

She summoned her favorite sword, the Twins Lord Wolves Fang. The sword is somewhat similar in appearance to the scimitar in a way, the whole sword itself is silver white and it was made of special ore that fused together with a material that drops from a boss and nothing else, except the handle that is being wrapped around with smooth black leather.

The Sword of Darkness just looks at the three in awe. Where and how did they obtain those kinds of weapons? Some of their armor already look like it belongs to a hero and look very expensive enough, these thoughts run through their mind while they are just staring at them with admiration. They have never seen any of the gears like these people before until now in front of their very eyes, so now they just have to burn it into their memories.

"Silver, Sword of Darkness!"

The Dark Warrior snapped them out from their awe and now are focusing on him.

"We'll leave Nfirea to you guys, good luck!"

""Y-yes!""

"Don't worry and likewise!"

After Touch Me respond to his friend, he gave them a thumbs up. After that, he brings his shield out and drew his one-handed long sword that is being sheath in the shield. His long sword is like any sword they seen around that the knight used, but the design is beyond like any knight or even a noble knight ever used.

The Sword he is using is made out of holy silver ore. Instead of a boring cross guards, the guard of this sword is in shape of diamond from both side, although the pointing tip is a little extended, then in the center of the guard is a shining tanzanite. The tip of the sword is also a diamond shaped like but the pointing tip is extended a little more.

His shield looks almost the same likes the shield he alway used but this one is a kite size in a similar diamonds shape.

"Well then, ready yourself! Our job is to protect Nfirea with everything we have!"

The Sword of Darkness acknowledge him and draw their weapons.

While slowly making his way to the Goblins, Momonga was peeking back if they were ready. After confirming it, he turns back and talks in a low voice to his friend that is following him so that only they could hear him.

"Remember, let some of the small ones pass us so that Silver can get some of the action, the big guy is our"

"""Ooh!"""

"Good. Now then, Yamato, You take left and Seiso take right while Zedd block their escape route from the rear, Nabe, you're with me in the middle"

"""Roger"""

"As you wish...Momon

"...Umu, now go"

After that, the three made their way to their position.

"Now then"

Momonga then stops looking at his friend and turn his attention to incoming Ogres that is charging right toward him with the giant bat high up ready to smite him down when within range. The Ogres finally swing the bat downward toward the dark warrior, but unfortunately the dark warrior didn't permit it and counter it with a slash dash to the side and slice the Ogres and leaving a trace of afterimage of the swing, after that he continue to casually stroll his way to the next target, leaving the now frozen Ogres behind. After seeing her Lord moving forward, Narberal then moves past the Ogres like if it nothing even there and made her way to her master side, after a few second the frozen upper Ogres body began to slide off from the lower body and onto the ground which caused the gut to spill out and blood spraying all over the place near it leaving the other in shock and awe.

After witnessing something shocking, all the Goblin stop moving and their feet began to tremble in fear. Seeing his minions became scared, their leader got mad, even though his leg is also trembling as well. But regardless he shakes those fear away and focused.

"What are you lot standing there for?! Go around him, we have to reach those other humans and surround them! GO!"

If they can't stand against a strong opponent, then they just have to fight somebody else that is on their equal term or weaker than they are.

After hearing the order they comply and do as their leader commanded. Few of them manage to made past the Dark Warrior while most got butcher.

"Tek! Form a group on the left and right and go around him and I want 3 Ogres on both side as well as evenly split of Archers to provide pressure, also stay as far away from that black armor then flank those humans on the wagon! The rest of big fellas, will keep on fighting, now get your ass moving!"

The Troop then start to regroup and split in 3, left, middle, and right. After they finished, they then began to attempt to spread out and flank from their own side but immediately stopped by two warriors, left side was meet with a tall red armor man while right side by a person in a cloak with a hoodie.

"Where do you think you lot are going, huh?!"

The giant warrior said while tapping his shoulder with the side of his blade.

"Don't think everything is going to be easy! Now, who wants a piece of this champ?!"

He then took a battle stance and ready for the incoming enemies. While the right side just stood still and watches the giant warrior yabber.

"Yo~"

The troops on the right were caught off guard by the voice that startles them a little. They then turn slowly to where the voice came from and saw a person in the cloak that stopped earlier, waved at them carelessly.

"Sorry Ugly-kun, but only a few of you are going through me~"

After saying those, she pointed her right sword at them and taunt. Seeing that made them very angry and charge right at her like a raging bull, but that just caused her to smile, a sadist one that is. It just made her smile every time seeing someone gets mad from just a little act. The Goblins troop on her side charge toward her in packs, a regular person would stand no chances again a small troop that attacks as one, even if it is an experienced master fighter. Because no matter what, being attacked from all side can get even a true fighter in trouble easily, especially if the fighter lack to keep up with the enemy movement, have no mobility, and sense of the surrounding. If anyone lacks any of this requirement while fighting alone with multiple enemies as one then it's better off to run away or things will get ugly very quickly.

But too bad for these Goblines, they are dealing with the person that fully master the art of those lacking, even though she really doesn't really need it to beat these lot.

They were getting closer to wipe that smug off that human face but before they knew it, the first 5 Goblins head that was charging on the front fell off to the ground which caused the rest to slow down their speed and come to stop because of what just happened. Some of them snapped out of their thought and turn to where the human that they were trying to kill but to find nothing but the air blowing through the grass. They were confused at first then panic and start looking everywhere for the human but no trace to be found, one of the goblin were looking for any clue that could be left, while he is looking, he saw the shadow on the ground getting bigger, there were nothing there where the shadow is, it's like something is falling from the sky that made the shadow growing larger. Finally caught up, the Gobline look up and to his surprise, it was that human falling right toward him with a smile that only a devil could love. The Last thing that Goblin saw was a sweat terrifying smile and everything went dark from there.

After landing on one of the Goblin, she pulls out both her sword that was stabbed into both eyes of the Goblin that she landed on, she then quickly moves onto her next prey. Many Gobline tried their best to land a hit on her but all were too slow to keep up her flash likes speed, which resulted in their death.

The Sword of Darkness is just watching in awe again while she dances through the pack of Goblins like if it were a free space for her to do whatever she wishes to do with no consequences. The way she fights, no. More likes moving through enemies and slice them up before they could even have a chance to hit. Peter has seen a familiar fighting style like her before a few time back when he used to group up with other random fellow Adventurer, Sword dance style. It's where the fighter fight with smooth movement and instead of using brute force to attack the enemy, they use speed while letting the flow force of the movement and the blade do its work.

While they are watching Nakisa cutting down her enemy, suddenly a short horrible scream startled them and make them turn to whatever cause the scream. What they saw is the similar scene of when Nakisa cut off 5 Goblins head in one swing but instead, 13 heads are flying everywhere by the Red Samurai named Yamato. Unlike the dark warrior, Momon, the way Yamato swing his sword is not just cleaner and better than Momon, but it's also more powerful. Watching Momon himself took down an Ogres in one swing leave them speechless and awe already but watching Yamato is different, it cause the Sword of Darkness to have strong goosebumps and most of all, fear of death crawling up onto their shoulder just by witnessing it alone. Even though the swing is not directly toward them but regardless it just makes them want to flee away from this Samurai as far as possible and hide behind at least a thousand of knights wielding great shield to protect them.

Tried to stop the goosebumps, Peter then notices that most of the Goblins on Yamato side has run to the opposite side to where Nakisa is while leaving the 3 Ogres behind and a very few Goblins by themselves to deal with Yamato, He guessed that they rather have a chance with her than Yamato. If he were them he would have run away without a second thought, so, by seeing the Goblins to still manage to keep on fighting really began to make him have some respect for these Goblins to still have the well to fight and not flee like a rabbit. As of right now Peter would rather watch Momon or Nakisa slaughter these poor little warriors, but something is telling him that he haven't seen even the fragment of Yamato power yet, and that attack from him was just a basic one too, so he have to continue observing even though he doesn't really want to.

But before he could do so, the Goblins that did successfully on getting through from Nakisa side is almost half way toward him and the other at the wagon. From the looks of it, it seems to be at least 20 of them or more, most wielding wooden club while a few carries bow and arrows.

"Look like you guys won't be able to observe their fighting now that we got companies. If you wishes to continue then go on and I can take care of the rest. But that would just mean you guys are not working and look likes a lazy bunch, so let's take this opportunity and let us part take in this battle!"

The Sword of Darkness hesitant at first because of the overwhelmingly of inhuman strength that the people they are working with possess. Peter thought, will they just be getting in the way? Compare to Momon and his friend, he and his team are out of their league. Peter was unmotivated, but luckily for him, there is a certain someone that can boost his spirit.

"Now, now, What with this atmosphere you are letting out, Peter? Giving up already?"

Peter turned to the Silver Paladin with an uneasy expression.

"Well..."

Silver sigh and shake his head side to side, letting him know how highly he disapproves of it.

"Yes, my friends and I are stronger than you, I am confident to say that"

'That just make it worst!'

Peter thought.

"But just because you're useless, doesn't mean there is no part for you to take in. Every little help can be of bits of help, it can make thing easier as well for other"

The young warrior agreed but still hesitating.

"If you didn't notice yet then let me tell you guys right now"

Everyone that is close by looks at him with confusion and waited for him to tell them.

"These Goblins are no threat to my friends and I what so ever and we could have wiped them out with ease. But they purposely letting some of them passed so that they can witness your guys strength, can they trust you with the task to defend Nfirea without their help? My leader wants to see if he can put his trust in all of you, can he do that? Will you guys not answer his trust?"

Hearing those reason really leave him speechless, was it really like that? Peter thought to himself while someone patted him on this shoulder, he snapped out and turn to who was trying to get his attention, it was Ninya.

"I think we should do our best regardless of how little it will help them, Peter"

Ninya told him with a smile while Dyne nodded in agreement.

"Yes indeed, Ninya. It will only be rude if we are to do nothing, Peter"

Peter just stare at his bulk friend and turn to Luruk that is smiling. After seeing his friend motivation, all he could do is look down in shame.

'What am I doing? I was supposed to lead them and be their hope of guidance when they are lost. But here I am, being guided by them...Pathetic'

While in his thought, Peter chuckles bitterly to himself while smiling the same. He then looks back up to his team, no. His friends, that he went through hardship together with, from their childhood time. They just look at him with a bright smile and wait for him to make his move.

'I still got a long way to go...Momon, he must have started from the beginning at some point to get to where he is right now, right? He must have worked hard...so I must as well! This is my beginning to become great!"

He slapped both his cheeks and shake his head. When he stopped, he smile at his friends with looks of great resolve.

"Thank guys, sorry to let you see me like that..."

They shook their head.

"Now then, Let's get to work. We will move up and make a defensive line and try to hold the back. Ninya, cast your defensive spells on me and after that will provide us support with offense magics"

"Ok"

"Lukruk, do what you do best and pick them off one by one, take out the Archer."

"Ohh! It's time for me to show Nabe my skills!"

"Shut up. Lastly, Dyne, you will heal anyone if needed. But most of all, try to slow them down so that we don't get overwhelmed by numbers"

"Of course! I can bind the necessary one. But Peter, what about the one that manages to get past you?"

"Then You two and Lukrut will protect Ninya while I'll try to hold off most of them back. If things become messy then we will retreat back here and regroup with Silver to form a defensive formation"

"That's sound good!"

He nodded in approval and turn to the Silver Paladin.

"While we are gone, can you-"

"Protect Nfirea? Of course! Do not worry about him and worry about your team and yourself, he is safe with me!"

Peter was surprised for a second but regardless he respectfully nodded to Silver.

"Thank you, Silver. Then we will leave him to you, Let's go guys"

They nodded and follow him

Peter moved up a little further to make free space for any necessary retreat. He looks at his foes while they're getting closer with every second past while observing the incoming enemies he was able to gain new information, they are leaderless. What give it away is that there is no communications preparation what so ever, and their formation are off. Because of that, they look more like a bunch of untrained barbarians, it's true that as Goblin they are supposed to be that way but compare to before when they first made their appearance they were more organized and walk as one. At this point, it's like fighting against a newbie soldiers. But still, he needed to focus and take this fight seriously, he is, after all, just a Silver-rank Adventurer. Silver-rank Adventurer may be stronger and have more experience than the regularly trained soldier, but only a little, so because of that little advantages he still should not let his guard down regardless of how weak they are.

"[Reinforce Armor]!"

A sudden green light appeared around his body, Peter knew this light so well because he has seen it so many time before. He slightly gazes over his shoulder and lightly nodded to show appreciation and turn to focus on his enemies again.

"Lukrut!"

"Yeah, I know!"

The blond Ranger draws his bow and arrow and starts picking his target. He would pick someone that is a threat, like Archer, Caster, or anyone with range attack in general because, like him, they can pick people off or rain down attack magics and arrows by standing in a safe position. But he will ignore them if Ninya is in dangerous. Because as a caster, Ninya is weak against close combat or any physical relate but if he can use [Fly] then things might be different, but since he can't he will need protection. Usually, Dyne alone can protect Ninya by holding them back and letting Ninya attack, but he can only hold at least 2 or 3, any more than that is a no. So, if Lukrut ever comes to a conclusion that they will be overwhelmed then he will have to abandon his post and assist them.

Since the Goblins are still far from him, he decided to go for the enemies Archer like Peter told him. the range distant between him and the Goblins Archer would make any none train person a very hard time but even the trained one would still have a difficult time and miss a few shot. But in his case, it is no problem for Lukrut.

After calculating the drop velocity, he let loose of the string and watch as the arrow headed toward his target. The poor Archer didn't have time to react as the arrow go through his skull then brain and drop dead like a lost string puppet. His comrade didn't bother looking back at his dead body and instead kept on going forward as fast as possible before another meet the same fate as him.

On instincts, the enemies Archer didn't waste time and switch out to their bow and began to suppress the blond Ranger from shooting another shot. Lukruk might be a good bowman but dodging 4 Archer attack while trying to return with the accurate shot, it's quite difficult.

While Lukrut is busy, Peter is as well, with 6 or so Goblins that he needs to take care of before the rest will catch up. There are 23 Goblins in total that team Sword of Darkness are up against, but right now there is 4 that is busy with Lukrut while 6 other are at it with Peter, the rest is still far back trying to catch up, the reason they're behind is because they have lost moral to fight and decided whether to run away or keep fighting, thank to the incident earlier that they saw earlier that causes them to be this way. After a minute after, the fight between Peter and the 6 Goblins broken out, there was still no casualty yet on both sides. Peter sidestepped one of the Goblin attacks and return it with a weak poke in the eyes, right away 2 more attacks came from both side and cause him to jump back away. the Goblin that took the attack in the eye didn't die but he is losing a lot of blood and pain. Since Peter is fighting against multiple enemies, he has to move fast and keep up with the enemies at all time. He would have gone and cut off that Goblin head instead of stabbing the eye but since this is not a dual between 1 against 1, so he has to go for a quick attack and not heavy one because it's slow and it will get him in a messy situation. Plus, his enemies will not give him time to attack at all because of so many follow up attacks, one after another. After he dodged the 2 Goblin, another attack follow up, it's a heavier but slow blow but he has no time to dodge.

"[Fortress]!"

His shield glows green and before the attack could land on his face, it was reflected away by a shield block that was fused with defensive Martial Art skill. The Martial Art skill that he uses helped him reflect some attack but as long if it's not too powerful like a full rhino charge, also, the more force the attack is, the more force the reflect will become, so because of that, this skill work perfectly with most of the heavy attack.

Being stagger back because of the reflect force, the Goblin were vulnerable for a few second. Because of that, Peter has little time to land attack but thankfully nobody is there to interrupt him. He launches his sword and it pierced the neck of the staggered Goblin, because of the how thin their neck are, the sword wideness is wide enough to fully cut the Goblin thin neck just by stabbing thoroughly.

Wasted no time, He took a stance and ready for what to come next. Another attack came from his right side but he just back step and the attack misses, seeing his foe being exposed Peter took this chance and stab the Goblin heart, it goes through completely but when he was trying to retreat his sword, the Goblin that he stabbed grab onto his blade and hold on to it with his life. While fighting to free his sword, Another Goblin took this chance and attack Peter left side while he is vulnerable. Seeing another attack, Luckily for Peter, his shield is still free and he uses it to block the attack. But that attack wasn't finished, instead of attacking again the Goblin is forcing the club on Peter and putting pressure onto him, now that both Peters' hand is busy. Not wanting to let go of his sword, Peter still trying to free his sword and after that, he plans on backing away, but it was too late for him. The Third Goblin flank his rear and about to land a backstab onto him seeing this make cause him to panic.

'No!'

"[Magic Arrow]!"

Two magical javelins struck the Goblin that was flanking Peter on the back of the head and now collapsed on the ground dead.

"Peter, retreat!"

"I know, wait for a second!"

After replied back to the worries young Caster, He resumed to freeing his sword, but it's not easy because the other Gobin is giving him a hard time by pressing pressure onto his shield.

"Don't be stupid you dumbass! Let go of it and retreat, look around you!"

Even though it only been a day and he rarely heard that person talks, he knew well of who is calling him a dumbass, it's the lady in the cloak, Nakisa. He listened to her and took a quick peek at his surrounding. To his shocking, the rest of the Goblins has finally caught up and is about to overrun him. After that, he let go of the grip of the sword and shield bash the other goblin and began to make his retreat.

"Fall back to the to the wagon, hurry! Lukrut!"

"On it!"

Peter and the other start running to the wagon as fast as they could, but of course since Ninya is physically weak, they had to slow down so that they won't leave him behind.

Meanwhile on the wagon. Silver was observing Peter and his team fight, especially Peter because he has all the action to himself. It went smoothly for him at first but then he made a fatal mistake that Silver would like to point it out for him. But that would be for another time because he has to work.

"S-Silver, they are coming! So as the Goblins! W-What should we do?!"

The Silver Paladin didn't answer at first, he merely looks at the boy and turns back to the Incoming allies and enemies.

"Didn't you paid attention to the plan, Nfirea? We'll stand our ground"

"B-But, they just got overwhelmed..."

That made Touch chuckle a little which causes the mushroom hair boy to confused.

"The different between there and here is that I am not in there, but now I will. So be at ease and stay close to me at all cost, understood?"

Yet again, Touch me confidence made the boy calmed down again. When their little chat is done, Peter and the rest has finally reached them.

"Silver!"

"Just like the plan, we will stand our ground"

"Are you sure?"

'...Am I sure? You just showed me your resolve and now you ask me if I'm sure?!'

That unconfident from Peter made him facepalm himself and shake his head side to side. He reaches to the young warrior should and get close to face to face. This causes Peter to cring, not just him but the rest that is around as well. They don't know how but they could feel the unpleased aura around the silver paladin.

"I'm going to scold you later, you hear?"

"H-Huh?!"

'Maybe he just needs someone to show him how to man up!'

"Right now keep that eyes of your wide open and observe. Nfirea please stay behind them and scream if anything happen"

"O-Ok?"

They still confuse but Touch Me didn't bother with it and move past him to the Goblins.

"W-Where you're going, Silver?!"

"I said observe, Peter!"

Peter was dumbfounded.

Again, didn't bother with it and make his way to the Goblin, He drew his sword and slightly raise his shield to cover his body and blade. The first Goblin that reaches Silver first died. The Goblin couldn't see his sword that was hidden behind the shield, that was his fatal mistake and because of it, he died meaninglessly. After cutting down his first prey head, he moved on to the next. This time there is 2 Goblin charging right toward him. Silver sidestepped to the left and cut off the head of another victim and shield bash the second Goblin smite attack to the side and follow up with a pouch to the face with the top edge of the shield. If it were a normal warrior punching like Silver did, it would only stun them and nothing more, but in his case, the Goblin head was crushed and die but not before being sent playing away.

Unlike Peter, Silver did so with no afford and made it look like it just an every day roulette for him, which cause the young warrior to felt silent. Peter then, decide he just going to watch him likes boy watching his favorite T.V superhero in action.

After taking down the other 2 Goblin he continued to walk forward to the new challengers.

Now the rest of the Goblins slow down and came to a stop, now most of their mind is telling them that this human that's in front of them is the same like the other 3 warriors from earlier and that they should just flee away. But can they? Would they be allowed to run? If they run right now they would probably have a chance.

Seeing how his foes are trembling like a naked person just gotten out of a frozen pool, cause him to let out a small laugh.

'At this rate, they're going to flee and that would be troublesome for Nishiki, then I guess I have to clean it up myself...But in any case, I'm just going to kill them like killing harmless ants...so let's see if this does work. Let me give you guys some fighting spirit boost, so you guys don't have t die pathetically!'

Touch Me raise his shield up high while the front of the shield is facing the trembling Goblin. That gotten the scared Goblins attention and they just look at him to see what is the Silver Paladin is up to next.

"[Shield Flash]!"

The front of the shield began to glow brightly and flash a white light for a second, and nothing happened.

'Did it work?'

Touch Me thought to himself.

After seeing the bright flash of light came from their enemy shield, their fear went away and a sudden rage and anger began to grow inside them. They don't really know what happen but one thing for sure. Whatever that human did, it made them trigger and want to attack him. And they going to do so, the Goblins ready their weapon and charge forward without second thought, the Archer ready their bow and prepare to rain down arrows at the Silver Paladin.

'Oh! It does, now then I could just go in and make this very quickly, but I want him to learn...So I'm going to have to hold back and fight with sense and logically!'

After finishing thinking to himself, Silver took a stance but before he went off, he slightly turns to look for the mushroom hair boy. Nfirea is looking at him like the rest while staying behind Sword of Darkness.

'Luckily none of these guys will attack anyone else except me, so Nfirea should be safe. But let's make this quick and return to his side before any unexpecting thing happen to him...now then'

Silver turns back and starts charging forward, he has to make sure to keep everything smooth including his movement and speed so that Peter can learn of whatever he is going to do and hope he learn.

Right now the Goblins he is dealing with are just like any other angry wide animals that will attack whatever they see. Because of that, it's going to be easy to predict them.

Instead of charging on forward to the middle of the wide formation enemies, Touch Me decided to attack right side first. the reason he did so was that if he charges in forward to the enemies core, as a normal person, that would be the most foolish. By doing so, it will be very easy to get surrounded, overwhelmed, and get gang rape. So by going to the edge first will give him a large amount of room to retreat and most of all, not getting surrounded. Of course, Touch Me doesn't need to do any of that to the weak opponent, he is just trying to teach a certain someone.

But why right side and not left? Because there are the Archers on the right wing of the pack, taking them out first can make thing easier and put everyone heart at ease. It doesn't have to only be Archers in general but any enemies that do range damage, support, and healer, by taking them out first can make battles become easier.

Half way to the enemies, the Goblins Archers has already begun to shoot arrows but all were easily blocked by his shining silver shield. After blocking and dodging countless arrows he decided to it's a good time to start attacking now that most of the Goblins are about to reaches him. He was luring them to him to draw them away from the Archers to become defenseless so that he can get rid of them without any interruption. He sees the opportunity right when all 4 Archer is loading their next arrow. He dashes toward them while they are defenselessly preparing for another shot. As they were about to draw their bow the next thing they knew they were spinning around everywhere. They were confused at first but then while spinning, they saw the human that they are supposed to kill, standing in front of 4 headless bodies. When they just realized everything went dark from there.

Again, Peter has just seen another inhuman thing that just happened right in front of his eyes. What he saw a minute ago was a flash of light that shined from the shield that is wielded by the man name, Silver. And the next thing he knew was that the frightened Goblins suddenly became fearless and proceed to charge toward Silver like a bunch of raging bull. Then, later on, he saw an incredible dashing slash with godlike speed and the result was a perfect strike that cut all 4 of the Archer's head clean off. He then comes to a conclusion that these Copper-Rank Adventurer team that he is working with are in the league of the Adamantite-Rank Adventurer or better yet, a hero. Who are these people and where did they come from? That may never be answered.

After taking out a few trash, Touch Me turns around and walk back to take more.

"Now that, that was taking care of...you guys are next, prepare yourself!"

He pushes onward.

After liberated 13 head from their bodies, Yamato was pleased, very.

Finally, after all this week of waiting he can finally release these urge, there bothersome urge that been bothering him for a week, the urge for battles. He never felt this pleasant feeling before, the feeling of joy in fighting, killing, and slaughtering, all these good feeling for doing it, it pleases him, it's like taking a scroll through a peaceful park. He would be lying if he were to say that he never felt the joy in it but that was only when he play video games and not reality. He would greatly reject this feeling if he was still a mere human and back to his time and world. But right now, in this body and a mind of a war hungry maniac, he just can't deny any of it and embrace it, he needs to fight to release this bothersome urge and these battle right now might be the perfect opportunity to do so. But now, seeing most of his enemies fled away to Nakisa side, Yamato began to become slightly angry. He wanted to have more action because he didn't have any ever since the short slaughter in the Carne Village of the knights that killed innocent villagers for the sake of killing one man, which didn't even come close to satisfy him and leaves the urge to fight more, but for the sake of not causing any trouble to his friends, he had to keep himself together.

He wouldn't care and do whatever he want if he was still in the game, that is if it so, then he wouldn't have cared in the world and gone off to kill anything he sees that is killable. But right now is not the case, every living that he took won't come back and that can leave a bigs impact to his friends and other innocents if he kills the wrong peoples or monsters. Killing anybody that deserved it will not make him feels any slight of guilt whats so ever, like those vermin that he slaughtered in the peaceful village, which for him, was very enjoyable but not satisfying because he had only killed one of third of them. Because of that, seeing what suppose to be drugs for an addict, ran away is just gonna make thing worse.

"The Hell you lot are going?! Come back here, you ugly weeds!"

They slowly stop and turn back to him but to turn away immediately and keep on pushing through Nakisa to get pass her. If he were still being a human, he would have a lot of veins popping on his head right now.

"Huuuh?! You cowards!"

"Oi! We're still here you kno-"

One of the Goblin that was still brave enough to fight him was cut off right away with a slash to the face by the Samurai. His head was sliced in half and causing the blood to ooze out.

"""Chef, nooo!"""

The three Ogres that was far behind the dead goblin cry out and extend their hand to their dead comrade like they are trying to reach to him. After witnessing their ally death right in front of them, one of them began to point at Yamato with ugly rage expression.

"Damn you human! He was our only chef that can cook something good! Damn you!"

Yamato just looks at him blankly and speechless of this stupidity situation.

"Who the hell is going to cook for us now, Huh?!"

"Does it look like I give a fuck?!"

"I can't see anything underneath those helmets, human!"

Triggered.

He doesn't give a damn anymore about any of this, all he want to do right now is stop this stupidity. Without any warning, he dashes forward with raging speed and force that even with Lukrut great eyes sight cannot even keep up. Right when he's in range, he swings his Nodachi to their side and cut all 3 Ogres in half in one swing without wasting any movement. But what is weird, is that the Ogres didn't feel any pain, they examined their tummy and everything is fine, but for some reasons, they can't feel their lower body. A second passed, the line of cutting wound began to slowly emerge of where it first was hit to where is end. After seeing that they began to panic but its just cause the cut wound to appear faster, before they know it, they slide off and felt to the ground which causes the gut to ooze out. Before they could even scream, they felt unconsciousness and never waked up again.

He just looks down at the bugs he just killed and he didn't feel anything or pity at all, all he feel is 2 things, pleasant and unsatisfied. He wants more, now he looks back up and scans for anymore but unfortunately, there were none, on his side anyway, only death. But then while looking, something catches his eyes. A certain Goblin with half full armor with what it look like is a Roman superior helmet. Compare him to the rest, he looks special among the rest of the Goblins. But what he found weird out of it, is that the Goblin in armor is beating upon one of his own men, it seems the one that is being beaten is begging and saying something to the one in armor. So, out of his curiosity, he goes ahead and listens to their conversation.

"We can't win this!"

"Of course we can, you coward!"

"No, we can't! Just look at the battle! You've brought us to our doom! I tried to warn yo- UGHH!"

"SHUT YOUR FILTHY MOUTH! I SAID WE CAN SO WE CAN!"

"B-But Gor-UGGHHH!"

"It's Commander! But that doesn't matter anyway, a coward like you need to die here! I should have just kill you after all!"

"W-Wait please, Chief! Listens!"

While the two are in their own little world, Takemi was listening.

Did he hear that right? A Chief? Leader?

Suddenly, energy roast up within him, he doesn't know why but knowing that there is an enemy Leader, just made him want their superior head.

Still stumbling the Coward subordinate, He decided to just end him now. Because this has already taken more time than it has already. He raises his sword, prepared to smite his subordinate without mercy because he is a coward. Right when about the tip of the sword is about to lead on the beaten Goblin, a sudden voice shout toward his direction and cause him to stop and turn to where the voice came from. To his surprise, a blood color armor warrior dashes toward him with incredable speed.

"GIVE ME THAT HEAD!"

"What the f-"

Before the Goblin Chief could act, it was already far too late. The Goblin head was still intact and no cut mark can be seen. Takemi turns around and looks at the still standing Goblin like he is waiting for something to happen, a few second passes and nothing. He was a little annoy and decide to reach out to the Goblin head and pick it up, Surprisingly, the head came off with a popping noise. He turns the head to face him and it made him laugh, what he found was funny because the Goblin Chief expression was of an ahego. After a few second of laughing to himself, he toasts the head to the side like an old toy that serves its purpose for entertainment and now it's useless trash.

Now for some reason, he is satisfied. Maybe because he is a Samurai and beheaded an enemy superior pleases him? Maybe that's the case, he is still not sure but that might be so. Anyway, he is fulfilled, that's all it matter.

After trying and countless death, the the rest of the Goblins realized that all the Ogres are dead and lastly their leader is dead, That only mean one thing.

"Look! The Chief is dead, we're free! Quick, run away!"

One of the Goblin shout that got everyone attention, including the Adventurer that they are fighting. Every Goblin didn't have any second thought and began to run like a fleeing rats.

"Retreat! Retreat!"

There were only 10 or so Goblin left that are running while holding on to their life. Peter just realized that they are running and tried to warn the other that are just standing still while watching them flee, it look like they are not worrying and at all, maybe showing mercy? He was again, like many time, dumbfound.

"Don't worry, Peter. have you forgotten that we have one more person?"

He then remembered, Where was he all this time? He observes a little more and then something that catches his eyes, there was dead Goblins body on the far back near the forest away from the battle zone. It seems that they were trying to flee without anyone noticing but someone stopped them.

"Com'on, they're too slow..."

That voice, Peter then turn to where it came from and it was the person that claim to be Ninja, Zedd. When was he there? Peter and the rest of the Sword of Darkness didn't see him there next to the dark warrior before.

"Aren't you going to finish them off, Zedd?"

The Ninja sighed.

"I am, Leada. As soon as they double their haste that is, ahh so slow~"

While Observing the fleeing Goblin, it was finally the right time.

"Yes, keep running...[Ninjusu Tag: Lighting Floor Trap]"

While running for their life, they saw the forest. Yes! They are close, they thought. Almost free from death and close to their salvation, but sadly they didn't saw the papers on the floor that now a sudden blue spark of electricity appear. Still, they didn't see anything even with the spark of the electricity that would have gotten anyone attention. That is because Nishiki uses tier 6 Ninjutsu ability that he barely uses called [Hidden Object]on the Tag to make it harder for anyone to see, especially anyone that blows level 40.

When they close into the Tag, it triggers the Tag to cause the lighting to spread out to the surrounded ground within raidus of 3y.

Before reaching to their salvation, they were stunned by the electricity and because it is a higher tier beyond any of this world, it roast all the Goblins that were caught within it. It was not a very quick death and also painful, that could be felt from every inch of their body, the trap reaches its duration and the lighting slowly faded away along with the Tag. The Green Goblins that was there now is replaced by the coal that was in shape of a Goblin, a statue.

Everyone was stunned, in exception of Momonga and his team. What just happen? They thought as one.

"So a mere tier 6 AOE stun is overkill for this world, I see..."

"Indeed"

Momonga agreed with his Ninja friend, who is very disappointed about the result of one of his experiment. Why? Because that was one of his lowest damage ability and it considers overpower in this world.

"Are we done? From my point of view, all the little guys are dead. Also, I killed more than anyone so I deserve a nap"Said Nakisa while walking toward Momonga and Nishiki. Momonga sigh and nodded.

"Go ahead, I'll talk to the rest to see what we need to do in order to earn money from this"

"Yay~ Just call me when you guys really needed me~"

She happily walks toward the wagon with no care in the world. Momonga and Nishiki look at each other and struggled it off. When Momonga was about to say something, in corner of his sight, Takemi is making he was toward him and the Ninja. It's true that Takemi is wearing a helmet but something about him seems happy and satisfied.

"Momon, Zedd. I can see that everything went well, I knew I can Leave everything to you guys"

The samurai then laughs cheerfully, but that just made the Nishiki feel awkward.

"Well, it was Momon plan that everything went so smoothly and not a single one of them escaped"

"Ah, yes. As expect of our leader, always making everything go right for us"

Takemi agreed with Nishki. they both then turn to their leader then slightly bowed with respect but it just made Momonga feel embarrassed. if he were to still be a human, he would have been like a child book, very easy to read.

"Ahahaha...well, it was thank to everyone that everything went accordingly. Thank you for your hard work"

"You too, Leader. But if I may say so myself, this shouldn't even consider hard work, it was a piece of cake. Right, Yama-yan?~"

The way Nishiki address him, make him want to frown and let out a heavy sigh, instead of doing that he just facepalm and shake his head side to side.

"Great...I'm assuming that you're going to go back to the old you, the nickname you gave me is all the evidence that I needed..."

Hearing that just made the tall Ninja giggle. Back then when he was still active in the game, Nishiki like to give his friends cute and weird nickname. For instance, He uses to called Punitto Moe, Policeman-san or Commander-sama to tease his green death vein, Punitto Moe sometimes even consider it as a mockery but he just waves it off because it kind of pleases him in a way.

"How rude, Samarai-chan! I am who I am and who I please to be where and whenever I wish!"

"Uh huh, cool story. Anyway let's head back to the other, they must have been waiting while we are flattering each other"

"Oh, Yama-yan. I never thought of it that way but if you say so~"

"Shut up!"

Momonga just chuckles and the both of them follow.

When they reached the wagon, they expect to find everybody waiting for them and a sleeping beauty lady, But it was not. What they see is a Silver Paladin friend of their scolding Nakisa while the other are just watching.

"What were you thinking?! You can't just take a nap after taking a bunch of life!"

"Ehh? Why not?!"

"Because it's common sense and immoral!"

"Common sense is for a noob!"

"What?!"

"They're bunch of Glob anyway, no one is going to miss them~"

"I give up...Oh, so you guys are here, that means we are finished, yes?"

Momon nodded to him.

"Because of everyone, we manage to get every last one of them, thank you for your hard work. You guys too, Sword of Darkness"

Sword of Darkness only frowned by hearing Momon appreciation which Momonga notice. He is confused about what happen that cause them to be that way, he can only turn to the person that was supervising them, Touch Me. His friend gives him a head signal as to say to go on and talk to them. Momonga doesn't really know why but he's going anyway.

"Was there something wrong? Why are you guys so down? We've won so shouldn't you all be happy?"

Momonga really curious of why they are acting this way and wish to know, did he do something wrong?

Peter couldn't look at the dark warrior so he continually looking to Momonga side to avoid eyes contact while scratching the back of his head.

"Well...you see...as a higher ranking than you guys, We were supposed to shine and be the example for the newcomer like you to admire. But it seems the table has been turned"

Peter awkwardly laugh to himself with a bitter smile. After honestly telling them what is on his mind, there were silent and a laugh from the dark warrior and his friends. Peter feel uneasy and angry, are they mocking him?

"Sorry, sorry"

Trying to stop laughing, Momonga looks at him.

"I see, so that was all, huh? I thought I did something wrong but it seems like it was just in my head"

"N-No, you did nothing wrong, Mister Mo-"

"It's Momon, no formality please"

"Ok, M-Momon..."

The Dark Warrior nodded in approval.

"Umu, anyway. I wasn't laughing at you or mocking, so please don't think too much about it. So that's how you think...Well then, Let me give you one of my advice for almost anything, so listen carefully"

The young warrior does so and waits for him.

"...Don't underestimate anyone, because there will be a time that it will be the end of you if you do so. There is always a bigger fish out there in this big world and there'll always be someone that is better than you in every way. If not, then may the newborn child take up the challenge to grow and surpass you"

"Well, I do bu-"

"What were your first impression of m- no...Us, back in the city?"

That question catches him off guard.

"Well...I am kind of jealous because you wear a full plate armor as a copper...meanwhile I only have chainmail armor being cover in leather clothes, the only plate armor I currently possess is probably my shoulder plate"

"Anything else?"

"Umm...no?"

"...I see...look like you've going to have to work on your observation more"

Peter's confused about what the dark warrior meant by it. Just by looking at the confused young warrior, Peter, he can already tell he doesn't know what he meant, so Momonga does the pleasure.

"While you're only looking at my fancy armor, You have utterly overlooking of how much strength I must possess to wear the armor from the start. I have encountered many fools that were looking for troubles from me just because of my rank. There is the time when rank doesn't matter, Peter. So remember that well"

Even though they just met, Peter is quite exciting to be advised from probably a man soon to be a legend, a hero. He felt kind of awkward to be taught by someone that is low ranking than him though, but true be told, just like what the Dark Warrior said, there are time when rank doesn't even matter at all and only actions will show how powerful one can be, and he saw one hell of an action today.

"Y-Yes"

Momonga nodded.

"Your wisdom truly is gifted, Leader"

The Dark Warrior and everyone turn to the Silver Paladin, Silver made his way toward Momonga and patted him on the back shoulder. Momonga smile and chuckle

"Please Silver, I am just like anyone else. There should be someone that is wiser than I, perhaps yourself? After all, you use to lead us and be the hope of many"

"I might, but not sure about when you said 'hope for many' but for certainly, I am not fit to be a leader because of how selfish I can be. That is why I stepped down and you rises Momon. Please stop doubting yourself, I merely gave you that chance and you took it, and now you have taken all of us here, including the rest elsewhere this far. So enough with self-doubting because I, Silver, and the rest that are out there somewhere, can assure you that you have earned it, Leader"

Too be praise from the person that he admired and saved him in the past, Momonga was embarrassed and happy. To Momonga, Touch Me is one of the important friends he ever has, he owns this justice manic for saving him when he was still in the younger days in YGGDRASIL were he was being constantly PK by the Humanoid player for fun and beneficial. Alone, out numbers, and weak, Momonga was at the end of the rope in YGGDRASIL, no hope was on his side at that moment when thing about to end for him, then shining white warrior of hope presented himself to Momonga and gave him something probably no one else can, hope, friend, Nine's Own Goal, then Ainz Ooal Gown, his ultimate treasure that out weight the universe itself.

"Indeed, Silver. I can say that the rest is satisfied being lead by you. After all, you took us this far and back then when we were picking someone else to replace Silver, most of us could not think of anyone else but you, Momon. And we were right, it was a wise choice to appoint you as our Leader"

"Yep, Big sister agree!"

Nakisa said while taking a nap.

"That's right, Praise our Leader-sama!"

"Oi, oi, oi, Zedd. It sound like you're worshiping him like some kind of god or something"

"Oh please, Yama-yan. I was just complimenting Momon-sama, that is all"

Then Nakisa suddenly popped her head from the wagon with a smug on her lip.

"How about we have a competition to see who can praise him more, Zedd?"

"Hmmmm...very attractive proposal. I might consider..."

The tall Ninja then was deep in thought of whether he can win this challenge.

"Com'on guys, that's just too much..."

Momonag said while doing his best to hide his embarrassment even though he is wearing a full plate of armor that cover every part of his body, also a poker skeleton face under of that. But regardless of all that, he does still have the urge to hide when he's embarrassed.

"Now, now. Enough with this flattery. We're keeping our colleague waiting so let's us get moving. So then Sword of Darkness, What shall we do now? If my memory serves me right, for the Goblin and Ogres we suppose to cut off their ears and collect it to turn it for the reward right?"

Touch Me said

"A-ah yes! We're urged to do so if we want money"

"Then can we cut off both ears so that we can earn more?"

Nakisa question the young caster with curiosity while leaned her side head on the wagon.

"Umm...well, back then some individual group of Adventurer took advantage of that when the system was just announced and it been spreading around the city then to other Kingdom, because of that many other Adventurers that are in need of money start to follow that method because there were no rule or sort. Then shortly later on the Adventurer Guild find it unpleasant and consider it cheating so they decided to make it, for example, if it were a Goblin then the only way to collect and turn in the bounty is by presenting the Goblin left ear and not right ear. Something like that"

"Bleh!"

Nakisa spit at the ground with dissatisfaction and went back to napping. Rules always make thing complicated and make many things less fun, but it is necessary to keep order so that thing won't become chaotic. That's how she always see it from her point of view anyway.

"I see, that is unfortunate for us foreigner...but it can't be helped. At least I hope that with these many Goblins and the payment from this quest, we will be able to earn good among of money to last long enough to make more..."

Momonga said while thinking some other matter for their plan in the future to make money. They are in need of money really bad, it's not like he needs it personally but for when the time come that require it and that time should be sooner or later for possible investment in the future.

"Anyway..."

The sudden voice catches his attention, he then turns to the owner and it was his ex-leader, his friend. Touch Me patted him on the shoulder.

"Let's worry about the money later, It been a long day today and everyone is probably tired. So let's finish this up and set up a camp so everyone can rest for more journey that is ahead of us tomorrow, hmm?"

Momonga nodded in agreement. It has been a long day, At least for these people anyway. He gazes at Peter and Lukrut who is being healed by the big man name, Dyne. Then to Nfirea and Ninya, who is looking at him and waiting for something to happen.

'Let's see, we need to collect our reward and then look for places to set camp. But the problem is that the sun is going down soon'

He looks at the sun that is soon to be set.

'Should have 1 or 2 hours before dark rises. In that case, we need to double time'

"Nakisa! Please wake up, I have a task for you. You too, Zedd"

Nakisa groan but did as her leader told and jump off the back of the wagon then made her way toward him, Nishiki is already waiting next to Momonga. When she reaches him, he nodded.

"Ok, your task will be to scout for any good nearby area for camping, something like maybe open high ground with a good view of the surrounding for any intruders. Also, find a lake or river for water, we might need to refill. You guys think you guys can do that much?"

Both of them nodded.

"Good, now you two may go...also don't wander off too far, ok?"

""Yes mom!~""

"Umu"

With that, both of them wander off. After watching them off, Momonga turns his attention to the rest.

"Now then..."

Momonga looks at Peter and Lukrut, who is still haven't fully healed yet.

"Dyne, please continue to heal them, we'll take care of the rest"

The big man nodded that he understand.

"Of course, leave it to me"

"Umu, now then. Ninya, If you may, can you show us how to collect the trophy? After that, we'll follow"

"Y-yes, of course!"

Ninya then made his way to the nearest Goblin corpse. He reaches to his waist for his small hunting knife and crouses beside the lifeless Goblin body. He then stretches the Goblin left ear and cut it upward, just like that.

"And that is how you do it on the Goblin, simple right?"

Momonga and his present friends nodded.

"That's it? Well, that was disappointing"

Said Takemi while sighing

"What were you expecting, oh mighty warrior Yamato?"

"Well, Silver. I was expecting one epic slashes with my Nodachi and all of their ears will come off smoothly while the body roast to ashes...Ahh, that would be a magnificent sight~"

Momonga and Touch me chuckle at him.

"That's just overkilling, my friend. I think a small blade will do just fine"

"...Have I ever told you that you're so boring, Silver?"

"Of corse you did... so many time...that I've lost count"

While being treat by Dyne, Peter is watching the 3 warriors in their little world, just openly chatter among each other without a care in the world. They must be really close, Peter though. Suddenly he has the urge to ask them a question but does not have the courage to do so, but regardless he need to know, he want to know. So he gathers all the courage he can get and ask.

"M-momon!"

The dark warrior turns around faced toward Peter then followed by the rest. Now that he have the Dark Warrior attention, he was going to ask but hesitation got the better of him. he couldn't speak and he doesn't know why but all the boldness he gathers just now shatter right when they all looking at him. Now he felt like a little kid that wanted to speak with their idol but is too scared and shy to do so.

"Yes, Peter?"

"Ah...ummmm...well..."

He doesn't know why but he is really nervous.

'What the hell is wrong with you?! You were never this much of a coward before, God dammit!'

A couple second pass by and they just stood there waiting for Peter to talk. Momonga can clearly see that the young warrior is off so that made him worry, did he do something? It can't be, he didn't do anything, maybe something he said?

"What's wrong? Did I do or say something I should not have?"

"N-no, nothing like that..."

"I see...then what? It seems something is bothering you and I can't help but felt responsible..."

"N-no! Really, it's not you but myself..."

Momonga study him.

'If it's not me then what is the problem? He looks nervous that for sure...maybe something personal? If so then I have to soften him"

"If that is the case then I...no. We can help you. Even if it is personal, we can help but you have to tell us the problem Peter"

After Momonga said those, there was a few second of silent and Peter lower his head and sigh then look back up to face the Dark Warrior again.

"S-sorry for earlier, so if you could just forget about that"

Momonga nodded.

"I...just have a simple question that is all if you could please answer it? I really want to know"

Momonga tilts his head.

'That's it? Maybe I just really thinking too much after all'

"Of course, I'll answer anything that I can. So go on ahead"

The young warrior nodded.

"Ok. So...who are you people really? To have those gear that came from a realm of hero is already impressive enough but...Your guys' powes alone prove to be beyond that and my gut is telling me that you guys were just holding back... So really...who are you people? You guys should be Adamantite-rank or even higher than that. If that is the case then you all are stronger than Warrior Captain of the Re-Estize Kingdom, and he is well known across the continent of this land...then what position are you all in if you're all beyond him?!"

After Peter releasing all those questions at them there was an awkward silent. Momonga couldn't help it and turn to look at his Samurai and Paladin friend for a bit and turn back to Peter.

"Well...We are-"

Everyone in exception of Momonga and his friend leans in closer to hear what he have to say.

"Right now just a bunch of Copper-rank Adventurer that is doing their first quest"

Hello again, sorry if this is a bad time to stop but I'm too tired to go on at the moment. Also if you're wondering why Peter is acting kinda off, it's because I have planned for him and his team later on in the future, so just don't mind it for now. Anyway, here is some list of ideas of how items look like.

Nakisa Dual Sword is called White Shark Twin Swords from Vindictus. I love that design.

Touch Me Sword have the similarity of Kirito Dark Repulser. And his sheild has the similar shape like Silver Knight Sheild from Dark Soul 3, the only difference is the detail.

Also, I tried my best to looks up for a picture of how Takemi Nodachi, or at least close to it but no luck so just use your head I guess. Also sorry to any Japanese sword expert if I wrong in detail on Takemi Nodachi like name and such, I am no expert and I did try to study a little before I write it. Correct me if you wishes.

I also try to make the fighting and combat more action, but I might miss used some word, so my apologies if I did.

I did also change a few thing on Nakisa character sheet.

By the way, do you guys think 20,000 word is a lot or little for a chapter?

Lastly, certain someone just woke up...somewhere

Anyway, have a nice day and until next time!
