And now we witness the 'battle' between Ainz Ooal Gown and the Sunlight Scripture. Enjoy and review!
(Carne Village)
The guild members were currently meeting to the side away from the villagers. Said people were holding a funeral for those who had died in the attack. The players had decided to give them space while they went over what they learned from the village chief. Albedo was also with them, keeping a watchful eye for anything that could be a danger to the Supreme Ones. Touch Me's eyes wandered towards the two girls they had saved. They were standing over two specific corpses, their parents.
[Touch Me: I worry for those two. They lost their parents at such an age.]
[Ulbert Alain Odle: I have to agree with you there. As someone who went through a similar experience, I know that they'll be going through some tough times in the future.]
[Bukubukuchagama: That's a surprise. You actually have a heart, Ulbert-san.]
[Ulbert Alain Odle: Shut up.]
[Herohero: I think we should focus on other things. Like what we just learned. We're in a pretty bad situation.]
[Amanomahitotsu: Yeah. To be honest, I had thought we were in Midgard given how we've only seen humans so far. But we really are in another world.]
[Yamaiko: We honestly didn't get much information since this is a frontier village. The only nations we learned about are the Re-Estize Kingdom, which we are in. The Slane Theocracy that worships the Six Gods. And the Baharuth Empire, which the Kingdom is on bad terms with.]
[Touch Me: None of which are Nordic legends. And we can't find any similarities with YGGDRASIL terms either besides job classes and races.]
[Momonga: Not to mention that the chief was speaking in a different language. Did anyone else noticed that?]
[Bellriver: I noticed it too. The way his mouth moved was different and yet we were able to understand it easily. Magic maybe?]
[Tabula Smaragdina: Well at least it makes it easier for us to communicate. Unlike our money problem.] That caused the members of Ainz Ooal Gown to sigh dejectedly, earning a worried look from Albedo.
[Punitto Moe: Yeah, did you see the shocked look on the chief's face when one of the gold coins from the game weighed twice as a normal gold coin here. Given its foreign appearance, its legitimacy would be hard to support and just attract to much attention.]
[Bukubukuchagama: Well, we could take some of money from the corpses of the knights. It would be a start when we plan in the future.]
[Touch Me: I think we should give those to the villagers. They'll need it to repair the village.]
[Peroroncino: Soft hearted as ever, Touch-san.]
[Nishikienrai: Hold on guys. I just got word from the Eight-Edge Assassins. A group of hundred armed men on horses are heading towards the village.]
[Momonga: Reinforcements of the ones we just defeated?]
[Nishikienrai: I don't think so. According to the assassins, these guys are dressed differently. More like soldiers than knights.]
A few minutes later several riders came into the village. Albedo took a defensive position in front of her masters as the one who was clearly the leader approached the village chief. "I am Gazef Stronoff, Warrior-Captain of the Re-Estize Kingdom. On order of the King, I have brought a punitive force to drive away the Imperial Knights who've been attacking villages on the frontier." The man named Gazef announced.
The village chief spoke to Gazef and directed him to the players. The Warrior Captain approached them, stopping at a respectful distance. "Greetings, my name is Gazef Stronoff. I was told that you were the ones who saved this village." He asked politely.
"Yes. My name is Momonga. My comrades and I are a part of Ainz Ooal Gown." Momonga introduced themselves to Gazef. The others beside Albedo said their own names, though Gazef was a bit confused when Touch Me gave his.
"I see. In that case I am deeply grateful to you for saving the villagers." Gazef said as he bowed his head. "Forgive my rudeness, but I've never heard of Ainz Ooal Gown before."
"Understandable. We are from a foreign land and have remained in isolation until now." Momonga explained.
Gazef nodded, seeing the logic in that. "Again, my thanks for what you did."
Touch Me spoke next. "It's only common sense to help others who are in need."
The Warrior Captain smiled. "I agree with that full heartily, Touch-dono. I just wish certain people had the same belief."
The silence was broken when one of the warriors ran up to Gazef. "Captain! Our men have spotted a group in the field outside the village. They appear to be mages, around a hundred of them and they have angels too!" The man reported.
"Angels?" Ainz Ooal Gown muttered when they heard the word.
Thirty minutes later, Gazef, the players, Albedo, and Gazef's second-in-command were standing inside a house at the edge of the village. The surviving villagers had been evacuated to a large shed on the other side of the village while the rest of Gazef's men were preparing their horses. Looking through a window, they could see a large number of mages. Each of them had an angel hovering above them. It was the angels that caught the players' attention.
[Herohero: Aren't those Archangel Flames? Summons from the game.]
[Touch Me: You're right, Herohero-san! What are they doing here?]
[Peroroncino: Not only that, but I can see two Principality Observations at the back.] He said, using his enhanced vision.
[Ulbert Alain Odle: I wasn't expecting to see YGGDRASIL summons. I wonder who they are?]
Ulbert's question was unknowingly answered by Gazef. "This is bad. To think one of the Slane Theocracy's Scriptures would be after me."
That got their attention. They recognized Slane Theocracy from the village chief. However, the term 'Scripture' was new to them. "Pardon me, Stronoff-san. But who are the Scriptures and why would they be after you?" Nishikienrai asked.
"The Six Scriptures are the Theocracy's special forces. Each one skilled in a different field." Gazef explained. "As for the other part, unless there is something valuable out here in the frontier than it is logical that I'm their target."
"Because you're the Kingdom's Warrior-Captain." Yamaiko said.
"That, and probably because a commoner like me rose up to become the King's bodyguard is unacceptable. I have a feeling that this might also be the influence of those from within the kingdom." Gazef added with a sigh.
"It sounds like these are foes you cannot face." Takemikazuchi commented. "Forgive me if I am rude, but you are the strongest warrior of the kingdom."
"Sadly, I am at a disadvantage." Gazef cursed. "The Noble Faction were able to deny me from bringing my powerful equipment. What you see now are spares." He said, gesturing to his armor and sword.
[Bellriver: So, we basically got ourselves caught up in a Cold War conflict between two nations, as well as the schemes of higher ups in the kingdom.]
[Touch Me: Those bastards! They sacrificed the common folk, so they could kill one man!]
[Ulbert Alain Odle: What do you expect from those kinds of people? They can't accept anyone from a lower social class because of their damn ego.]
"Momonga-dono." Gazef said, approaching the disguised Overlord. "I know this might be a bit presumptuous of me, but could I possibly hire you and your group to help me? I have no doubt that those mages will slaughter the villagers to cover up their involvement here." He said, surprising Momonga for showing no concern for his own safety.
Momonga looked at his comrades and then back at Gazef. "Please give us a moment while we discuss." He said before he and the others stood to the side.
[Touch Me: We have to help them! They won't last against those numbers.]
[Momonga: I can't just jump in blindly and fight against an enemy that is potentially stronger than us. I don't want you guys to be killed or worse.]
[Takemikazuchi: Surely there must be something we can do. We can't just hide in Nazarick forever. Sooner or later we'll have to face the people of this world.]
[Yamaiko: Takemikazuchi-san is right. Besides, I want to teach those bastards a lesson.]
The group dispersed and approached Gazef. "We will help you, but we won't require money." Momonga said.
Those words brightened Gazef's face greatly. Without hesitation, Gazef got to his hands and knees. "Thank you Momonga-dono! All of you! I will not forget this!"
"Umu. Now then, if you say you are their target then things will be simpler." Momonga said as he looked at Punitto Moe.
The Death Vine nodded and walked forward. "I think we should have your men prepare to evacuate the villagers. We need time to prepare ourselves. However, some of us are magic casters so we can enchant you and your weapon to hold off the enemy while we get ready."
"I see. If I'm out there, then their focus will be diverted away from the village." Gazef said, nodding in understanding.
'Well, also so we can determine the strength of this Scripture.' Punitto Moe thought as Bellriver prepared his spells. As an [Enchanter] Bellriver was better at casting support spells on people and objects than the others.
"[Lesser Strength], [Greater Shield], [Reinforce Armor], [Enchanted Blade: Sharp Edge], [Lesser Speed], [Magic Ward: Holy], [Increased Reaction], [Enchanted Bade: Lightning Steel], [Wall of Protection from Arrows] and [Boosted Luck]." Bellriver said, Gazef glowing a different color for every spell.
Gazef looked at his body. He couldn't believe how powerful he felt. "Remember, while those spells increase your body and weapon, you're still facing against Archangel Flames. You got to fight with everything you have, okay?"
"I understand, Bellriver-dono. Thank you." Gazef said.
"Take this as well." Momonga handed a small item. "I can't explain what it can do yet. You'll learn in due time."
Gazef was confused but accepted the item anyway. He stuffed it into his pouch before heading towards his horse.
The members of Ainz Ooal Gown watched as Gazef raced towards the angels. Thanks to Bellriver's enhancements, Gazef had managed to slaughter half a dozen Archangel Flames with ease. Even with their odd-looking helmets on, it was clear the mages were surprised by Gazef's unusual strength. Eventually, the Warrior Captain began to tire out as the spells started to wear off. Touch Me tightened his grip around his sword when he heard the mage leader planning to slaughter the villagers.
"Bunch of damn hypocrites. They claim to be protecting humanity and yet they have no qualms of slaughtering defenseless villagers." He said, his rage seeping from his voice.
Amanomahitotsu huffed. "Seriously, and after all the work we went through to save these people. They could at least not try and hide behind excuses such as doing the work of god."
"Looks like Gazef-san is nearly spent." Herohero commented.
"In that case, it is our turn to take the stage." Momonga said as he prepared to activate the item he had given to Gazef.
(Battlefield)
Nigun Grid Luin, captain of the Slane Theocracy's Sunlight Scripture, was completely baffled. They had been sent under order of the Six Cardinals to eliminate Gazef Stronoff. True it had been requested by some corrupt nobles of Re-Estize, but in the long run, the Theocracy would gain more from this deal than the greedy bastards.
The operation had started as plan. Knights disguised in Baharuth Empire armor would slaughter isolated villages. It would eventually gain the attention of the King, who would dispatch Gazef. Under the nobles' voices, the man would go without his gear, the treasured relics of the Kingdom. Without it, Gazef would not be able to match the might of Nignu's Scripture.
But now, now things were going against plan. Gazef had charged out alone to face them. That left Nigun to believe that the man was foolishly giving his life to buy the villagers time to escape. Instead, the Warrior Captain had slaughter two dozen Archangel Flames with relative ease, while receiving minor injuries. For a brief moment, Nigun had feared that the man was showing his true power.
Eventually, though, Gazef began to tire out. He was now on one knee, covered in wounds and panting deeply. Using his sword to push himself up, Gazef appeared as if he would collapse any moment. Despite his tired state, the Warrior Captain still had a glare that caused Nigun to sweat.
"Just…just what kind of monster are you?!" Nigun demanded, pasty-faced. "You are without your best equipment and are alone! And yet how can you stand against us so easily?!"
Gazef smirked weakly. "Ha, having powerful Magic Casters as your allies helps. And know this, dog of the Slane Theocracy, there are people in the village who are far stronger than I am! When they come it will become a slaughter!"
"Silence! The only ones who will be slaughtered will be you and those villagers you so desperately tried to protect!"
[Momonga: Guess its time for us to take the stage] Gazef heard the magic caster's voice in his head. Before the Sunlight Scriptures' eyes, Gazef's form disappeared and was replaced with fourteen exotically dressed people.
Nigun had taken a step back in surprise. But, he quickly recovered. "What is the meaning of this?!" He yelled.
"Greetings, gentleman of the Slane Theocracy." Momonga said. "We are Ainz Ooal Gown. We have a bit of a relationship with the people of that village."
"Hmph, have you come to beg for their lives?" Nigun sneered.
Ulbert chuckled. "Oh no, nothing like that. I gotta admit, though, you have a lot of balls. Using magic to listen in, we heard you telling the Warrior-Captain that you plan to slaughter the people we bothered saving."
"You bastards have a lot of nerve! Killing innocent just to go after one man! All the while preaching in the name of your worthless gods" Touch Me yelled, surprising Nigun at his anger.
"Thus, we give you two options. The first is that if you surrender without a fight, you shall feel no pain." Momonga said as he raised his hand and then clenched it into a fist. "Resist, and you shall know despair like you have never known."
For some reason, those words sent a shiver up Nigun's spine. His instincts were screaming that these people were dangerous. However, his eyes wandered over towards the man wearing blacksmith attire. Nigun immediately concluded that he was the weakest of them, and if he were to kill that one then the others would be too distracted by their comrade's death to react. "Angels! Attack the blacksmith!"
Immediately, two Archangel Flames shot towards Amanomahitotsu. The blacksmith blinked as the angels lunged their swords towards him. Nigun smirked as he watched the summons impale man. That smugness turned to shock when the blades bounced off Amanomahitotsu's skin, who then grabbed the two angels by the heads. "What?! How?!" Nigun exclaimed.
"[Iron Shell] A passive racial trait that deflects all physical and magical attacks below level 60." Amanomahitotsu said as he crushed the angels' heads. Their bodies disintegrated into light.
"I'm kind of curious why you guys have Archangel Flames from YGGDRASIL." Tabula commented. "Tell us, who taught you how to summon them?"
"I-impossible! All angels! Attack at once!" Nigun ordered and all the remaining Archangel Flames charged.
"[Spiked Rampart]!" Bukubukuchagama shouted. A translucent barrier with spikes sticking out appeared before the oncoming Angels. The first wave was wiped out immediately, impaling themselves against the wall. The other Archangel Flames paused, allowing the rest of the Ainz Ooal Gown members to attack.
"[Severing Wind]!" "[Thunder Arc]!" "[Strong Fist]!" "[Combust Acceleration]!" "[Frost Cage Talisman]!" "[Impaling Thorns]!" "[Force Hammer]" "[Light Storm]" Nishikienrai, Warrior Takemikazuchi, Herohero, Tabula, Yamaiko, Punitto Moe, Bellriver and Peroroncino all said respectively. In order, several angels were cut into pieces by razor sharp wind, others were slice and electrocuted by a large wave of lightning. Several more were pummeled by blows of powerful punches and the molecules of another batch accelerated until they burst into flames. Talismans were launched into the air, where they encased a couple of angels in ice, shattering them seconds later. Shooting out of the ground were several vines that impaled multiple angels at once, while a group of angels were crushed under a powerful invisible force. The last batch of Archangel Flames were shot down by a barrage of light-shaped arrows. In seconds, all the Archangel Flames were obliterated with ease. The mages of the Sunlight Scripture could not even comprehend what had just happened. Finally, they snapped.
"What are they?!"
"Monsters!"
"Demons!"
"D-die!"
Losing to their fear, the mages released spells after spells. Countless spells struck down on the players and yet did nothing. "Why isn't anything happening?" Nigun yelled in disbelief.
[Herohero: Anyone taking damage? Cause I'm not.]
[Amanomahitotsu: I'm perfectly fine.]
[Tabula Smaragdina: Nope, I an't feeling a thing.]
[Punitto Moe: Me neither. Well, at least we've confirmed that they can use YGGDRASIL magic.]
[Warrior Takemikazuchi: Speaking of, anyone see those techniques Gazef had used on them? They kind of looked like skills that warrior-classed players used.]
[Ulbert Alain Odle: He called them Martial Arts. I wonder if there is any difference or similarities between them.]
[Nishikienrai: Hey guys, I am detecting a surveillance spell around here.]
[Momonga: Really? How powerful is it?]
[Nishikienrai: Not that strong, low-tier. Should be easy to cover and destroy without giving much away.]
[Peroroncino: I can also see that their leader is holding what looks to be a sealing crystal.]
[Touch Me: Sealing crystal? If I recall, those things can hold 10th tier spells.]
[Momonga: Then we ought to be prepared. Bukubukuchagama-san be ready to defend us. Bellriver-san and Yamaiko-san will support you while the rest of us prepare to take the offense.]
[Bukubukuchagama: Roger that!]
Back with the mages, they began to realize that their spells were having no effect. One of them became frantic enough that he fired a metal projectile at Tabula. Only for Albedo to intercept it and send it right back to the launcher, destroying their head. That appeared to have snapped the others out of their fear as they watched their comrade's headless corpse hit the ground.
Nigun blinked. "What just happened?"
Tabula sighed. "Albedo, that wasn't necessary. You should know an attack of that level would have no effect on us." The Brain Eater said to his creation.
"Apologies my Lord. I cannot stand to see lesser lifeforms using such primitive weapons against you. It would be like throwing a pebble against a mountain." Albedo replied.
Momonga chuckled. "That just shows the foolishness of their resistance."
Nigun looked like he was in the middle of a crisis. "Principality Observations! Kill them!"
The two large angels, who had been immobile until now, were now on the move. Conjuring maces, the two angels levitated towards the players. However, one of them did not get the chance to attack. "[Dimensional Slash]!" With lightning fast reflexes, Touch Me sliced the very fabric of space and completely destroys one of the Principality Observations.
The second Principality brought its mace down on top of Ulbert. The demon player merely raised one of his claws and stopped the attack with ease. "If I were a low-level demon and didn't have [Demon God] this might've hurt." Ulbert mused as his racial class gave him strong resistance against holy attacks and items, while his job class [Hell Emperor] could weaken holy attributes and debuff angels. "[Hell Flame]!" He muttered as the Principality Observation was consumed in black flames.
Deathly silence filled the field. Nigun could only look with wide eyes and open mouth as two Principality Observations were destroyed with ease. He could faintly hear his men screaming and asking him what they should do. Nigun had but given up until he remembered a certain object in his breast pocket. "Protect me if you want live! I will summon the most powerful angel! Our salvation!" Nigun declared as he held out a blue crystal that began to glow.
The members of Ainz Ooal Gown stiffened as they watched the seal on the crystal begin to break, thinking it was an Empyrean Seraph. "Albedo!" Momonga ordered.
"Yes, my lord!" Albedo shouted as she took up a battle position between her masters and the new threat.
"Behold! The power that vanquished a demon god! The highest tier angel!" Nigun screamed fanatically as the light became blinding. When the light faded, it revealed a large majestic angel, radiating a holy aura and holding a tablet in its hands. "Dominion Authority!"
The Sunlight Scripture mages let out sounds of awe as their hopes were renewed. The players looked at the summon angel in surprise and disbelief. "This, this angel is your trump card? Your salvation?" Momonga muttered.
Nigun smirked, believing that their state of shock was one of fear. "Be honored, members of Ainz Ooal Gown! For I have deemed you such a threat that I had to summon the mightiest of the Gods' angels. Though I do not blame you for being scared in the face of-"
"This is stupid…" Momonga finished, cutting off Nigun's rant.
"Huh?" Was all Nigun could say.
"Man, I was really hoping to finally go all out. Instead we get some trashy mid-level mob boss." Peroroncino moaned.
"I know, right? I lost track of how many of those things I killed in the past." Ulbert commented.
"Can't believe we were getting so worked up for this child play." Punitto Moe sighed.
As the guild members kept voicing their complaints, Nigun began to feel his composure break. "Impossible! Dominion Authority is a being that humanity can't hope to beat!" He shouted. Even the Extra Seat of the Black Scripture, Zesshi Zetsumei, would struggle against Dominion Authority. "Enough of this! Dominion Authority! Attack with the Gods' judgment! Use Holy Smite!"
The angel's tablet broke and suddenly a beam of holy light came down from the sky, striking the guild members. Nigun watched with a wide grin, believing that he had succeeded in killing them. But his joy turned to horror when he heard laughter. The silhouettes of the Ainz Ooal Gown members could be seen, the people perfectly fine.
"Ha ha ha! This is what it feels like to take damage!" Momonga laughed.
"To be honest, I don't feel a thing." Touch Me commented.
"I wonder how much damage I'm taking?" Ulbert wondered.
"Man, this is almost next to nothing." Said Bellriver.
"How odd, I'm surprisingly taking little damage." Yamaiko noted.
"Boring~!" Bukubukuchagama moaned.
"At least we confirmed another experiment." Tabula chirped.
Nigun's legs began to tremble. "T-this cannot be! It isn't possible! How can the most powerful angel, who destroyed a demon god, is unable to defeat you?" He screamed in hysteria, fearing for his own life.
"Maybe because that demon god was weak?" Ulbert questioned.
"W-weak?!" Screeched Nigun.
Momonga looked up at the Dominion Authority. "Well, that was interesting, but we should get back on track." Red glowing orbs could be seen behind his mask. "Know despair."
Raising his hand, he said, "[Black Hole]!" And the middle-tier angel was sucked into a vortex, rendered into oblivion.
Silence reigned in as the Sunlight Scripture took in what had just happened. The strongest angel had been destroyed, with ease. Nigun couldn't believe it. "To destroy the strongest angel with but a spell…just who the hell are you people?"
Momonga's cape fluttered against the wind. "We are Ainz Ooal Gown. In the past, there were none who did not know this name." He said proudly.
CRACK!
The sound of glass shattering caught the humans' attention. "What was that?" Nigun asked.
"Ah, that was just us destroying the surveillance spell." Yamaiko answered cheerfully.
"We had cast [Anti-Information Magic Wall] around the area, so I doubt that they saw much." Tabula added.
Nigun couldn't believe it. There was only one group of people who could perform such a spell. "My countrymen were watching me?" He muttered.
Touch Me stepped forward. "Now then, let us prepare the punishment that you scum so rightfully deserve." The World Champion said darkly.
"Indeed, we wasted enough time." Momonga agreed.
"W-wait a moment Momonga-dono…no Momonga-sama! Please, if you spare us, no me, I promise I will give you any sum of money you desire!" Nigun yelled, surprising his men.
"You seem to have gotten the wrong idea. Our lords have stated that you shall die, and thus you will. Inferior lifeforms like you humans should lower your heads in gratitude and wait for the end." Albedo said.
Her words confused the Sunlight Scripture. "Inferior…lifeforms…?"
At that moment, the members of Ainz Ooal Gown removed their disguises, revealing their true forms to the Sunlight Scripture. "As I said" Momonga began as the Eight-Edge Assassins appeared behind the terrified mages. "You shall know despair like never before."
(Thirty Minutes Later)
The Supreme Beings were standing on top of a hill overlooking Carne Village. The mages had been captured and transported to Nazarick via Gate. From there they would be tortured for information by the information specialist Neuronist Painkill. Touch Me had discovered a letter among Nigun's possession. It was written by several nobles of the Re-Estize Kingdom with their family seal stamped onto the parchment. The World Champion had gone to give it to Gazef before the Warrior-Captain left.
[Peroroncino: Do you think that letter will do any good?]
[Ulbert Alain Odle: I did an appraisal of it and detected weak magic on the emblem. The Nobles probably used low-level magic items to show their letters legitimacy and prevent imposters from using them. Not a bad idea.]
[Punitto Moe: Though now it's going to bite them in the ass.]
"Shit. My lords, so freaking cool." Albedo said in a quiet yet excited tone.
Takemikazuchi heard her. "Is something wrong Albedo?" He asked.
The Overseer Guardian recovered from her fangirl. "N-nothing, my lord. But, I do not understand why you saved that human. You even gave him such an important item." She said.
Tabula chuckled, patting his creation on the head. Albedo blushed a little at the contact. "That item was just useless, so it was no big lost."
"I see. Still, why did you save him? It would've been better if I had gone in your place, my lords. There was no need to personally save a lower life form" Albedo commented.
Momonga shook his head. "We may be powerful Albedo, but we know nothing of this world. We must be careful to acquire information." Albedo gasped in awe, seeing the logic in this. "Anyway, our business here is done. Let us return to Nazarick. I have an announcement to make to the others.
[Nazarick, Throne Room]
Twenty minutes later, the Ainz Ooal Gown guild members were facing the many denizens of Nazarick. Momonga was sitting on the throne, half of his comrades on one side and the other half on the other side. The NPCs were all kneeling before them.
Momonga shifted his head towards his friends. Seeing them nod, the Overlord directed his attention back in front of him. "First, we would like to apologize for leaving so abruptly. Albedo will fill you in on what had happened. Now, I shall announce our next objective."
Getting up, Momonga slammed the Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown against the ground. "Make Ainz Ooal Gown an eternal legend!" Here the Supreme Beings radiated powerful auras, startling the NPCs as they bowed their heads. "There will be many hardships, but we will surpass every one of them. We will let everybody in this world know that Ainz Ooal Gown are the true heroes! If there are people stronger than us, we will deal with them in ways other than force. If we encounter heroes, we shall crush them! If we encounter a magician with many followers, we will achieve our goal some other way. This is merely the preliminary phase to let everyone know that Ainz Ooal Gown is the greatest. If you have any objections, voice them now!"
"We have heard your precious decree and will carry it out with our full being!" Albedo responded. "All hail the Supreme Beings! Glory to Ainz Ooal Gown!"
"All hail the Supreme Beings! Glory to Ainz Ooal Gown!" Everyone repeated.
"We give ourselves to the Supreme Ones! Without any hesitation!" Shalltear exclaimed.
"For the Supreme Beings, we shall serve with absolute loyalty!" Said Sebas.
"To the most powerful rulers!" Aura and Mare said together.
"Everyone will know of your greatness and fear your immortal wraths!" Demiurge declared with a grin.
"To our masters who rule over all!" Cocytus boomed.
"Glory to the Supreme Beings and the Supreme One! The absolute Overlord of Death!" Albedo cheered.
Momonga raised the staff. His comrades did the same as they raised their own fists. "Let us fight together for this glorious future!" The guild master declared, earning roars and cheers from the NPC.
After the cheering had died down, the Supreme Beings left the throne room, leaving the NPCs alone. Albedo was the first to rise to her feet. Without looking she spoke to the 7th Floor Guardian. "Demiurge. Tell everyone what you heard from the Supreme Beings."
"Certainly." Demiurge replied as he got up. Looking at the others, the demon spoke with a wide smile. "As our masters stood aboard the mighty Ark, gazing at the starry night sky, Ulbert-sama said these words to Supreme Beings, 'the reason that we have come here is to claim this chest of jewels, which only belongs to us.'" He paused as these words sunk in before continuing. "Then, Momonga-sama added, 'World domination does sound interesting.'"
There was a deep silence in the throne room as the NPCs took in these words to their very hearts. Then Albedo turned around to face them. "Everyone know that Nazarick's ultimate goal is to present this box of jewels to the Supreme Ones. As their faithful servants we shall give the world to Ainz Ooal Gown!"
And there we go! Hope you all enjoyed this chapter. Leave a review
