(Great Tomb of Nazarick. 9th Floor, Momonga's office)
It had been a day since the tomb had arrived in this new world. Since then, the guild members had worked to better adjust themselves in their new forms, as well as see what else had changed or were still the same. They planned on checking the rest of the tomb to ensure they had a full grasp on the mechanisms that might've changed in the transportation to this world. However, currently the guild members were in Momonga's office, trying out to the Reviewing Mirror. With them was Sebas, the butler standing a respectful distance as well as Cixous, one of the 41 Homunculi Maids and another personal creation of Herohero. Beside them were several tray carts, filled of various foods and beverages.
Momonga was currently using the Mirror of Remote Viewing. "Okay I can now move the image with a wave of the hand." Momonga said.
"That's good, at least we won't look at the same spot." Commented Warrior Takemikazuchi, who sounded rather bored.
Tabula spoke up. "Momonga-san, how about waving your hands? Try and see if that will expand it." He suggested.
Momonga nodded and did just that. "Oh! It worked! Good thinking Tabula-san!" The Overlord said as he continued to explore.
"Well at least we now have a convenient way of surveying the surroundings." Nishikienrai commented. He was holding an empty cup. "Ah, could I have some more tea, please?" The half-golem asked the butler and maid.
"Of course, Nishikienrai-sama." Sebas said as Cixous came forward with a pot of tea.
"By the way, Punitto-san. What's with the stacks of paper?" Ulbert asked the Death Vine sitting beside him.
"I've been writing down what we need to look over. Now I'm just trying to organize them from highest priority to the lowest ones." Punitto Moe explained. "Its essential for us to know what changes have been made to the Tomb since we came here."
[Momonga: Back in YGGDRASIL, there were a lot of updates to the game. I had to add them in to keep playing.]
[Bukubukuchagama: Oh yeah, we had to go through a bunch of updates, so we could log in. What kind of updates were added to the Tomb?]
[Momonga: Nothing big, mostly additions to the POPs, defenses, effects of spells, items and paying for the base.]
[Punitto Moe: In that case I'll add those to the top of the list. Could you also fill me in on the updates and patches later, Momonga-san?]
[Momonga: Of course]
Momonga kept skimming through the mirror when suddenly Peroroncino's sharp eyes caught something. "Hey Momonga-san, I'm seeing smoke coming from the left side." The birdman said.
The others gathered around as Momonga zooms in. They see a small village, with several houses on fire. It also appeared that everyone was running, being chased by knights. "It that a festival?" Momonga asked.
"That doesn't look like a festival." Herohero commented.
"It appears that the knights are killing those defenseless villagers for some reason." Ulbert answered. His tone was one not of shock but of uncaring. In fact, many of them did not seem phase by the sight of death. Another result of their new bodies.
However, Touch Me was a different story. Slamming his hand against the desk, the World Champion spoke. "I can't stand by and just watch this…this injustice! Momonga-san, we have to save those people and deliver punishment to those scum knights!" Touch Me declared.
"He's right! We can't just let them get away with this!" Yamaiko said, already putting on her signature gauntlets. She watched as three knights chased after two girls into the forest
"Besides" Takemikazuchi began as he got up. "This is a good chance to see how well we measure up against the inhabitants of this New World.
Momonga could see that many of his comrades were voicing their agreements. Personally, he would rather remain in Nazarick then allow his friends to go off towards potential danger. But, the Overlord recall when Touch Me had first rescue him from being PKed, when they were nothing but strangers towards one another. And seeing how invigorated the guild members were, Momonga decided to go with them. "Very well, let us show these fools the might of Ainz Ooal Gown. Sebas!"
"My lord!" The butler said.
"Raise Nazarick's defense to maximum. Inform Albedo to meet with us fully armed. We might need her skills. And have her bring a detachment of stealthy monsters a well." Momonga ordered.
Sebas bowed his head. "It shall be done, Momonga-sama."
"[Gate]" Momonga casted. A tear in space appeared in the middle of the room. Touch Me was the first to run through, followed by Momonga and the others.
[Forest]
The two girls were on the ground as three knights neared them. The youngest, Nemu Emmot, was crying loudly as her older sister, Enri Emmot, was desperately trying to shield her while ignoring the large gash on her back, given to her by one of the knights. Just as Enri planned to sacrifice herself to save her sister, the knights stopped when a hole in space appeared behind the girls.
Before anyone could question what was going on, a silver flash shot out of the tear and suddenly the head of the nearest knight was separated from his shoulders. His comrades cried out in alarm as his headless body fell to the ground. The sisters were just as confused and scared.
Touch Me stood in between the girls and two knights, glaring down at the latter as they slowly backed away. "Scum! Are the defenseless and weak the only ones you have the courage to face? You can't deal with those who fight back?" He snarled.
"It can't be helped, Touch-san." Momonga said as he stepped out of the gate, scaring the two remaining knights even more. "People like them are incapable of fighting those who are stronger." He added. "[Grasp Heart]" An image of a heart appeared in his hand. He then crushed it, causing one of the knights to hold his chest and fall, dead. "Still, we confirmed that spells and skills do indeed work, which is good. Though, I must admit I feel nothing after killing him." Momonga stated, not even sparing the last knight a glance.
"I think that's because you're an undead, Momonga-san. They're not suppose to feel emotions." Stated Ulbert as he walked out. The appearance of the demon was the final stray as the last knight ran away. "Sorry, but you aren't leaving here alive. [Aspect of the Devil: Tendril Claws]" Raising a hand, the claws shot out and impaled the fleeing knight with ease. Ulbert then retracted his claws, letting the body fall to the ground. By then the rest of the guild members stepped out. The sisters could only watch as these thirteen creatures stand before them. They made not a sound, worried that beings might bring their wrath onto them.
"I'm going on ahead. The quicker we get there, the more lives we can save!" Touch Me said as he took off.
"Hey, wait for me!" Warrior Takemikazuchi yelled as he followed after the Paladin.
"I suppose I should try and summon an undead." Momonga muttered. "[Summon Death Knight]"
The moment those words were spoken, a dark sludge appeared behind Momonga before heading towards the body of the knight he killed. The process took the Supreme Beings by surprise, another unexpected change. The body began to rise and was covered in black mist. When the mist dissipated it revealed a 2-meter-tall skeletal warrior wearing spiked armor, holding a flamberge sword and tower shield. Nemu screamed as Enri tried to shield her.
"Death Knight, head towards the village and kill any knights you find. Protect Touch Me and Warrior Takemikazuchi." Momonga ordered his summon. The Death Knight let out a loud roar in response. It then took off towards the village.
Momonga looked at the archer of their group. "Peroroncino-san take to the skies and scout the area. Let us know what you see." The birdman nodded and flapped his wings, shooting upwards.
"I think the rest of us should give a shot of summoning." Ulbert said. "[Summon Savage Marauder]!"
The ground before the demon cracked and a demonic red light shown underneath it. Then lava spilled out followed by a pillar of fire. A large, purple-skinned horned bestial-looking demon came out of the large hole. It had little armor besides gray demonic bracers, shoulder pads, greaves and a helmet. Both hands were a pair of wicked Danish Axes with red edges. Ulbert couldn't help but smile with glee at the awesome way his summon appeared. The Savage Marauder was a mid-level Demon used by summoners who focused more on magic casting then melee combat to assault the enemy while the caster prepared their spells. In terms of defensive power, the Savage Marauder was weaker than the Death Knight. However, its offensive power was greater than the undead and its axes delivered flame damage to whoever it cut.
Herohero went next. "[Summon Acolyte Ooze]!" Suddenly a piece of Herohero's body detached. Seconds later it took on a humanoid form of average height. The only difference is that its hands were in the shape of long blades. The Acolyte Ooze would normally accompany the Elder Black Ooze due to the latter being a mob boss. The Acolyte was quite agile and could morph its hands into different forms of weapons but could not deliver much damage to heavily armored opponents. Like all slime creatures, however, it was immune to physical damage and could deliver acidic debuffs with its attacks.
"[Summon Heavy Brawler]!" Yamaiko ordered. There was a brief flash of light and when it went away, it revealed a large creature wearing armor. In both hands was a two-handed maul with spikes sticking out. The Heavy Brawler was a giant Nephilim. It had equal stats in both physical offense and defense, both being high, as well as mild regenerative skills. Its only drawback was that it didn't possess any range attacks and was mostly for close combat, though it did have powerful knockback effect.
Amanomahitotsu raised his claw. "[Summon Ballistic Crab]!" And a geyser of water shot out of the ground. When it died down, it revealed a large armored crab with four claws and four legs. The Ballistic Crab was another summon with well-balanced stats and was good for both close ranged, using its claws, and long range as it could shoot high pressurized water bullets from its pincers. However, it was quite slow, though it made up for it with its strong shell.
"[Summon War Golem!]" Ordered Tabula. A magic circle formed on the ground and soon clumps of earth began to gather until it formed in a large humanoid golem. It had disproportionate arms, as they were much larger that the hands touched the ground. The War Golem was slow, so it would be easy to outrun. Its defense, however, was quite high and difficult against those who did not possess strong offensive skills and spells. It was the perfect support for magic casters who were not good in melee combat. Furthermore, it could shoot its arms from their sockets like cannons and reattach them.
Bellriver raised a hand. "[Summon Night Gaunt!]" And from his shadow a humanoid entity with only sleek black skin appeared. It had a pair of bat wings on its back and tail sticking out, as well as very long claws coming from its fingers. The Night Gaunt is an Eldritch being that is highly skilled in assassination, with incredible speed and reflexes, capable of moving through shadows and attacking its target with its long claws that can cut through low-tier enchanted armor. However, it is not suited for front-line fighting and had low defense.
"[Summon Slime Beast!]" Bukubukuchagama called out. Just like with Herohero, a piece of her body came off and soon took on another form. This one was a slime creature in the shape of a creature standing on both legs and arms, a head with an extended neck, and what appeared to be a long tail. The Slime Beast was a front-liner and a perfect match for someone who focused on defense. Like all slimes, it was immune to physical attacks and could deliver very powerful bludgeon attacks with its limbs. And while it didn't possess acidic properties, the Slime Beast instead was elastic, capable of stretching itself a fair distance. It could even use its tail to impale targets.
Punitto Moe was last. "[Summon Cursed Tree!]" He shouted. From the ground sprang vines and roots, twisting and linking together. Eventually they formed into a large monstrous tree creature, with long arms and legs, a hollowed face, and veins that glowed lime-green. The Cursed Tree was immune to regular fire, but could be harmed by fires with unique attributes, such as holy flames. However, it was very nimble and could use the vines wrapped around it as whips. By planting its feet into the ground, it can summon roots to attack foes from afar, although that left it immobilize.
The summoners then gave their orders and their freshly made summons took off to assist their friends. Seconds later, Albedo stepped out of the portal, now clad in her personal pitch-black armor, Hermes Trismegistus. In her hands was a large pitch black Bardiche. Following behind her were several magical beings with human-like body shapes that wore black spider ninja costumes, with eight legs that looked like keen blades. These were the Eight-Edge Assassins, monsters that specialized in stealth.
"Apologies for being late, my lords. It took longer than I thought." Albedo said as she curtsied before the Supreme Beings. The Eight-Edge Assassins all got on one knee and bowed before their master.
"There is no need for that, Albedo. Your timing was impeccable." Tabula assured his creation.
"Thank you, Tabula Smaragdina-sama." Albedo said. She then turned her attention towards the sisters. "Now then, should I exterminate these bugs for you, my lords?" She asked as she readied her weapon, scaring the sisters.
Fortunately for them, Yamaiko stopped the Overseer Guardian. "Albedo, we decided to save the villagers. Killing them would be counter-productive." The Nephilim said. Yamaiko then approached the sisters. She looked at the older sister's back, seeing the large wound. Leaving it alone as it was would cause the wound to become infected. "Here, let me-" Yamaiko offered.
"Please! Please, do what you want with me, but don't hurt my sister!" Enri begged, clutching Nemu even tighter, who was crying.
The guild members stared at their terrified looks. They all thought the same thing simultaneously. 'They don't trust us at all.'
Albedo was having different thoughts. "You dare reject the courtesy of the Supreme Beings?! You deserve to die a thousand deaths!" She roared, preparing to kill the girls. The Eight-Edges also appeared ready to tear them apart.
"Calm down, Albedo!" Momonga ordered. "It's only natural they would react like this, given the current situation."
Yamaiko gave Momonga a nod of gratitude before looking at the girls. "We're not here to hurt you. I just want to heal your wound before it gets worse." Yamaiko reassured, speaking in the same tone she would use with her students. Enri did not look fully convince but allowed Yamaiko to come near her. Raising her hand, Yamaiko used a minor healing spell and in seconds the wound was gone.
Seeing the sisters' shocked expressions, Momonga spoke next. "Now then, you'll still be vulnerable from an attack. So, I will give you some protection. [Anti-Life Cocoon]. [Wall of Protection from Arrows]." He spoke the spells and a barrier appeared around Enri and Nemu. "Take these as well. Blowing them will summon goblins to protect you." Added Momonga as he tossed two horns to Enri.
[Bukubukuchagama: Aren't those Horns of the Goblin General?]
[Momonga: Yeah, I got them as drop outs. I didn't really have much use for them, though.]
[Ulbert Alain Odle: You and your collector spirit.]
[Herohero: Still, to give them trash items… talk about cheap Momonga-san.]
Momonga appeared a bit shocked by his comrade's comment. Nishikienrai shook his head and took out a silver bell with red stripes on it. He handed it to the sisters. "If the goblins don't help, then ring this. It will summon a Salamander." The ninja explained.
At that moment, Peroroncino landed. "Touch-san and Takemikazuchi-san have already reached the village. The summons will catch up to them soon. I also saw several knights on horses with bows and spears at the outskirts of the village."
"They must be there to prevent any villagers from escaping." Nishikienrai concluded. "I can deal with them. The Eight-Edge Assassins will also be useful in getting rid of those knights."
"Mhm, good idea, Nishikienrai-san." Momonga said. "In that case, Pero-san, please continue your recon in the air. Provide support for the others."
"Roger that!" Peroroncino said as he launched himself back into the sky. Nishikienrai soon took off towards the woods. The assassin monsters morphed into full spiders with large glowing yellow eyes. Their bodies became invisible as they followed the Supreme Being. The others prepared to move out until a voice called out to them.
"P-please wait!" The group turned to look back at the girls, who had recovered from their shock and were now shouting. "If it's possible, please save our parents! Please!"
Before the others could speak, Momonga decided to answer first. "If we find them alive, we'll save them."
"Thank you!" The older girl exclaimed, relief shining on her eyes. "Also, if I may ask…who are you people?"
The group paused at the question. The guild members exchanged glances with one another, the feeling of a strange synergy seemed to form between them, as if struck by inspiration. Without even using [Message], the group made their decision. Momonga looked back at the girls.
"You do well to remember this." Momonga said dramatically. With an elaborate gesture, Momonga's cape fluttered as he gestured towards his comrades. "We are Ainz Ooal Gown!"
(Outskirts of Carne Village)
Several knights on horseback, wielding spears and bows, waited patiently as their comrades carried out their mission. A few villagers had managed to make it out of the village, only to be killed by them, hence why they were positioned here. The sounds of screams were slowly starting to die down, indicating to the knights that their job was almost done.
However, the screaming picked up again. This time alongside with the clashing of weapons against armor. That caused the riders to look at each other in surprise. While the villagers would obviously fight back, it sounded like there were several skilled warriors engaging the knights. One of the riders approached another, a sign that the latter was one of a higher rank.
"Lieutenant, it sounds like there's a real fight going on in the village? What should we do?" The first rider asked.
The lieutenant frowned under his helmet. He had no love for Belius, the arrogant man always treating them as expendable tools. However, that didn't mean he could just leave the others to face against whatever foe was in the village. Before he could make a decision, one of the knights cried out. Spinning around, the lieutenant was shocked to see one of the soldiers' slash another with his sword.
"Soldier! What are you doing?!" The lieutenant demanded. He and several others tried to stop what seemed like a maniac from attacking anyone else.
"I-its not me! My body is moving on its own!" The knight cried as he kept swinging his sword.
Several more cries followed as other knights found themselves moving on their own. Some attacked their fellows while others injured themselves to the point of killing themselves. The lieutenant couldn't even comprehend what was going on as his own arms began moving out of his control. He could do nothing as his sword impaled the rider next to him through the heart. The horses were neighing and going wild as their masters were out of control.
The lieutenant was sweating underneath his helmet. His eyes were wide as he stared at the blood of his comrade coating his blade. "What the fuck is going on?!" Were his last words as something from the shadows impaled him from behind.
Rising from the shadow of a nearby boulder was Nishikienrai. He smirked as he watched the Eight-Edge Assassins finish off the surviving riders. Thanks to his [Manipulator] class, Nishikienrai could create thin wires that he could use for numerous tasks, such as controlling the bodies of others. Watching as the assassins dealt with the remaining knights, Nishikienrai contacted the others.
[Nishikienrai: I finished up with the riders. How are things going on your end?]
[Peroroncino: Touch-san and Takemikazuchi-san are almost done with the ones in the village. The process is going faster thanks to the summons. It will be done soon.]
[Momonga: Before we enter, we should probably disguise ourselves.]
[Punitto Moe: Good idea. We don't want to freak out the villagers. Luckily, I brought some illusion rings for the occasion.]
[Nishikienrai: Okay, I'll be heading back right now.]
Ending the message, the ninja looked at the assassin monsters. "Good work all of you. Be sure to hide the bodies. Then remain here and keep watch. If you see any armed force approaching, notify us before doing anything. Understood?"
"As you command, Nishikienrai-sama!" The Eight-Edge Assassins responded as they immediately got to work.
(Carne Village, A few minutes ago)
The knights that had attacked the village had used a basic encirclement tactic to take all the villagers to one spot, much like one would lead cows to the slaughter. It was the same strategy they had used countless times with the other villages. Mounted knights were placed at the outskirts of the village to shoot any villager that tried to escape, and at the same time chase the rest of the villagers to the central square while setting houses on fire. Once again, the knights had been able to accomplish their objective without a hitch. However, with this village…
"AAAAHHH!"
Someone was fighting back.
Touch Me cut down a knight with his sword. He then followed it up with bashing another with his shield. The impact sent the knight flying into a tree, the sound of bones breaking loud enough for all to hear. Three knights tried to attack at the same time, only to be brought down as Touch Me's blade cut through them as easy as paper. Even with his helmet on, the knights could feel the World Champion's glare on them.
"You bastards will never slaughter another innocent again! Time to face justice!" Touch Me roared as he impaled a knight through the head.
Warrior Takemikazuchi was also making quick work of his opponents. Wielding his Divine-class weapon, the Dao sword Takemikazuchi Hachishiki, the Nephilim cut down several knights with ease. Even bashing them with the flat part of the blade was enough to kill them, as the sword's constant generating of electricity would run through the knights' bodies. Their metal armor only increasing the damage they received. It should also be noted that Takemikazuchi was wearing a samurai helmet with an oni-face mask over his head, as to not scare the villagers.
However, the knights' nightmare was not yet over. As one of the knights attempted to impale Takemikazuchi with a spear, he was sent flying when a large shield smashed into him and another was cut in half. The knights and villagers all screamed as the Death Knight made its appearance. "OOOOHHHHHAAAAAHHHH!" It roared with an inhuman voice. Takemikazuchi gave the Death Knight a glance, who merely bowed its head in respect. The Nephilim quickly deduced that it was one of his friend's summons before continuing his slaughter of the knights. The Death Knight joined him as it killed anyone foolish enough to attack Takemikazuchi from behind.
Soon the Savage Marauder came, letting out a mix of a war cry and insane laughter. Its appearance frightened the knights even more. The demon struck any knight it reached with its burning axe. If the blade did not kill them swiftly, then they were left to die screaming as the flames consumed their bodies. It laughed in glee at the sight, both the dead and the fear of the living. Some knights began to run, only to be cut down by the Acolyte Ooze. The slime creature impaled the knights with its blade arms, ignoring their futile attempts to harm it with their swords. Instead, when their blades touched the ooze's body, bits of acid spilled out and hit their armor. One knight screamed in pain as the acid burned through the metal and hit his skin, only for his suffering to be ended quickly as the Ooze killed him.
The War Golem and Heavy Brawler were making short work of several knights. With their large mass and strong defenses, the knights stood no chance as they were either crushed by the golem's large fists, split open or bashed aside by the Nephilim's maul. The golem raised an arm and fired its hand at several fleeing knights. They had no idea what hit them as the large hand crashed into them, sending the knights splattering against the ground.
Five knights tried to get around Touch Me while the Paladin was distracted in helping injured villagers. They hid behind a tall tree, preparing to attack the insectoid, only to be shocked when the 'tree' began to move. The Cursed Tree let out a loud groan as it stomped two knights under its foot. It then extended a vine and sliced apart a third knight with a single swing. The last two knights were grabbed by the Cursed Tree's hands and brutally bashed against one another. Once their bodies went limp, the tree monster tossed them aside before continuing its task of protecting Touch Me.
"The villagers!" A knight cried. Beside him was their captain, Belius. His eyes were widened with fear and a hint of madness. Londes, the knight who had yelled out, saw his captain was being useless and decided to give out orders. "Use the villagers as hostages! And get archers on top of the houses!"
Before any knights could carry out the order, several of them were shot down as arrows of light impaled their bodies. More light arrows came raining down from an unknown source and killed any knight that tried to go near the villagers. None of them thought of looking up or they would've seen a birdman wielding a bow. As for the archers; they had managed to get onto the roofs. But before they could even ready an arrow, their bodies were riddled with holes. The Ballistic Crab began stalking into the village, firing bullets of water from all four of its claws. More knights were brought down by the pressurized bullets.
Some knights tried to flee on horses but were quickly intercepted by the Slime Beast. Its elastic body extended as it knocked aside its targets with ease. It split its tail into three and impaled three knights at once. Once it was done, the Slime Beast joined its fellow summons in protecting the two Supreme Beings. The villagers remained where they were, frozen in fear and awe as these newcomers were easily slaughtered the knights who had attacked their village.
"Buhiiii! No, this cannot happen to me! I can't die in a place like this!" Belius screeched as he watched these monsters cut down his men. His pupils dilated to the point he looked delusional. "L-Londes! Be my shield and help me escape!"
Letting a low growl at his Captain's cowardice, Londes said, "That's impossible, captain. Do you honestly expect for them to let us escape?"
A scream from behind caught both men's attention. Turning around, they saw the Night Gaunt impale a knight with its long claws. Londes's eyes widened. He didn't even hear the monster approaching. He could only watch the two remaining knights with them desperately charged the Night Gaunt. It proved fruitless as the summon swiftly sliced them apart, their bodies falling to the ground in pieces.
"Ah, ah…" Londes stammered. He had realized that escape from this village had become impossible. But to witness such monstrosities up close now, was making the man lose all reason. His wide eyes shifted back to Warrior Takemikazuchi, who by then had noticed the two remaining knights. Slowly, the Nephilim made his way towards them, his sword somehow clean of the blood from the knights he had slain.
Finally, Londes snapped. "AAAAHHHHH!" He yelled as he charged towards the samurai, sword raised. Perhaps because he sought death, or he had been braver than the other knights, Takemikazuchi made it swift. With a single swing of his sword, the Nephilim separated the human's head from his body, granting a quick and painless death.
All that remained was Belius, who by then had the look of a madman. Snot began to run from his nose as he tried to look for anyone who could help him. However, all that remained were the gazes of the monsters, and the unfeeling cold eyes of the villagers he had been busy slaughtering. "M-money! I'll give you money, fame, anything you ask for! Just spare me!" Belius pleaded.
"What about the villagers you attacked? Did you spare them when they pleaded for mercy?" A voice from behind asked.
Spinning around, Belius found himself looking up at Touch Me, who somehow appeared behind him. The World Champion glared at the cowardly man behind his helmet. He generated such killing intent that Belius soiled himself. Before the man could speak, Touch Me severed his right arm.
Ignoring the squealing pig of a man, Touch Me continued. "Did you spare the woman as your men raped them?" The left arm was severed.
"Did you spare the children, even as they cried for their parents when their short lives were abruptly ended by you and your knights?" Touch Me asked as he cut off the right leg. Slowly his voice was rising, filled with anger.
By then, Belius was lying with his back on the ground. The man was screaming incoherently as he tried to form a proper sentence. But, the pain of losing his arms and a leg, combined with his overwhelming fear made it impossible. All he could do was stare up in horror at the Paladin.
"If not, then why should we spare you?!" Touch Me roared as he brought his sword down onto Belius's face, finally ending the man's suffering. Blood drenched the nearby grass red as silence filled the village. Touch Me let out a sigh as he pulled his sword out of the corpse, Takemikazuchi joining him. The summons gathered around the two Supreme Beings, forming a protective circle. The villagers dare not move from their spot, too scared to do so. The tension was broken by an unknown voice.
"It appears that the 'battle' is over."
The villagers looked up and saw the rest of Ainz Ooal Gown. However, this time they were wearing disguises. The easier ones were Momonga, Bukubukuchagama, Herohero, Ulbert and Peroroncino. Momonga had covered up his ribs with his cloak, while wearing gauntlets over his hands, and a Mask of Envy over his face. Bukubukuchagama had wanted to appear as a loli, but after some convincing from the others, settled on a teenager girl with long pink hair, orange eyes, fair skin and wearing mage robes. Herohero took on the appearance of a young man with shoulder-length black hair, dark blue eyes, fair skin and wore blue pants, black boots, grey shirt, a long sleeve navy jacket and some armor. Ulbert wore a golden goat-shaped mask over his face, black socks and cloth to cover his legs and gloves that hit his claws. Peroroncino used his racial class [Phoenix], he could take on a human disguise. Now he had a humanoid face with brown hair and eyes, with brown clothes replacing his feathers, light golden armor over that, and his wings formed into a brown cape.
Tabula, Bellriver, Punitto, and Amanomahitotsu had to use the Rings of Illusion that Punitto had brought. The rings were of mid-tier and so did not completely hide their true forms, though. Thus, Tabula wore a mask over his face and a hooded white and gray robe. He had various potions attached to pouches and a belt. Bellriver wore metal version of his armor, and a match helmet. He only had two arms this time and to cover his red skin he wore chainmail underneath his armor. Punitto's size wasn't any different, and he wore a green priest robe of his body, as well as yellow shoes with upward curved tips. At the neck of the robe was tree-brown colored fur, while wearing a mask to cover his face. Amanomahitotsu was the one with the greatest change. His body had a dark tan like he had been in a forge for too long. He had bushy brown hair, wore a pair of goggles over his eyes, a brown smith robe over black clothing, and grey gloves. Yamaiko was the only one who didn't need to change anything.
The guild members and Albedo landed beside Touch Me, Takemikazuchi and the summons. They were soon joined by Nishikienrai. Momonga turned to face the villagers. "Greetings, people of Carne Village. We are Ainz Ooal Gown and you have nothing to fear." He said, trying to reassure the humans, before adding. "However, we have a few questions for you all."
The first part of the battle of Carne Village is done. Next chapter will have Ainz Ooal Gown face off against the Sunlight Scripture. Be sure to leave a review.
