Momon the Lich King: Aura of despair is limited by an ability at the moment, as his Aura of Despair V can cause instant death. This is why he didn't accidentally kill anyone in E-Rantel, then harmed the Wise King of the Forest with it in the Light Novels. He can release it if necessary, but that won't happen until he has a chance of his identity being compromised or he needs to. And Ling doesn't care about Ainz not being human so long as he doesn't have any harm to either country, and Ling's Dragon pulse can sense Ainz's truthfulness. Although he will mention it to some people if necessary, Ainz has a plan set up for that.

Nemesis Lyonner: I do not have his armor made of pure magic. Yes, it would be untransmutable as magic is not an element, but that wouldn't matter so much in battle against most beings. If Ainz really fought a being that could pose a decent threat, then it he wouldn't bother using his armor.

Guest: Yeah, I made the homunculus a little strong. I need to elaborate on that. I have their strength being so high because it is relative to the souls within them, meaning the more souls the stronger they are, but because all souls are unique, they are sketchy when it comes to levels, so really it isn't a good measurement. Just because they have lots of souls doesn't mean they are easy or hard to kill exactly, because they still get hurt just as easily as a human, but regenerating from it is what affects the level. I hope I explained it well enough.

Guest: Perfect Warrior makes him a level 100 warrior with no limitations. He has that constantly active in YGGDRASIL when being an adventurer, or else he wouldn't be able to use the armor at all, and his mana regen is higher than the spell cost. SO he is already using it. And yes, his armor is Mythril level, which he can only transmute as no one int that world knows what the material is.


Ainz crouched in the shadows, waiting for his target. He was on a mission with Mustang's team, trying to bait out whoever framed Maria Ross. The idea was to lay a trap for the puppet master behind it.. Ainz already knew for certain that is was a Homunculus' doing, but Roy didn't know too much about them. Ainz had originally been supposed to be stationed somewhere else, but he pushed Roy to let him, and made a deal. Ainz would give him all the information he had (Which was false, only some of it would be true, but it was worth it if it helped Ainz track down the Homunculi), and Roy would let him in on all deals and missions if it was worth it. Roy agreed, and told him about the mission, so long as Ainz told him information afterwards.

So here he was, waiting out by a tower where Hawkeye was stationed, waiting for the call that an enemy showed up. He had his aura sensing buff active, and it was helpful that he had his advanced hearing, because he could hear Riza using codes words to talk to Roy. He could also hear Heymans in the building they were watching, where Barry was waiting as bait. Luckily, Fullmetal was sent off somewhere thanks to Roy, and wouldn't get in the way. Not that he could, because of his height.

(Ed sneezed as he stared at the broken transmutation circle in Xerxes)

Ainz also had an idea of how to get away with magic. See, now Ainz had a theory on spells. It wasn't much of a theory, but he figured that Alchemy must be related to his magic somehow, as the glyphs that appear when using spells are extremely similar to the transmutation circles. He had been looking into it, and there is a possibility he could get away with magic here in Amestris and pass it as Alchemy if he used an item he had, but it would take a while to plan a way to use it. He listened to the conversation Riza was having, and heard her say the words that meant someone showed up.

"Hey Kate? We have a customer. Could you please let Jacklyn know?" she said. A dog began barking in the background as Ainz listened to the room where Barry was, and heard someone hit a wall and climb into the window. A low growl sounded, and Heymans let out a sound of surprise. A shot rang out, hitting the floor, and Barry intervened.

"Barry!" Heymans complained.

"We want this one alive, so trust me and don't kill him!" Barry said, a whistling sound from his blades going through the air, as whatever was growling was fighting him. Ainz was about to begin moving, when he felt a being head in Hawkeye's direction. It may have not been the best idea, but they were two people, only one armed, meaning the easiest target. The entity coming towards Hawkeye's location was male, breathing heavily, and Ainz could hear its stomach growling softly. Making a split second decision, he went up towards Hawkeye, who was with Fuery, and both of them relatively undefended. He walked up stealthily, using {Perfect Unknowable}, one of the other abilities he could use with the armor, to be silent, as well as nonexistent to all other senses.

He heard a shot from Riza fire, and hit something down on the streets, which howled. From the sounds, the creature on the street didn't seem to be a homunculus, and Ainz's sensing abilities were telling him it was human, but something off about it. The creature heading surprisingly silently towards Riza, however, was most definitely a Homunculus. Ainz was looking forward to finding out which one.

Ainz was interested when he heard Barry say that his old body came to them to try to get its soul back, which was rather interesting. Reaching the top of the tower, Riza hadn't noticed his presence, and let out a sound of surprise when she saw him standing in the shadows out of nowhere. Shaking of the minor shock, she waved him to the side to stand by Fuery. Black Hayate began barking angrily at Ainz, and startled Riza, who had never seen Black Hayate like that before. She got him to stop with a hand signal, but Black Hayate growled lowly at Ainz, who glanced down at the dog. He released the Tier I version of his Despair Aura, one of the few class abilities he could use with the armor, and Black Hayate backed off, whining.

Roy, having noticed her sign of surprise, asked worriedly, "Elizabeth, something happen? That customer come back?"

Riza focused back on the group. "No, it's just this one guy... Adam, who started working with us recently. He arrived and the dog was barking. Tall, dark, brooding? You might know him?" she said into the phone.

Roy paused, since he didn't know if dog was code for anything, then assumed it was Black Hayate, and understood that Adam was Ainz. "Oh, that guy. You're hanging around him? Are you cheating on me?" he said teasingly, keeping up character.

Riza sighed. "Of course not Roy, I would never cheat on you." she responded in a cheerful voice, all the while focused on the people below. "Oh, one of the customers is mouthing off."

Ainz felt the homunculus arrive, and make it upstairs nearly silent, rather quickly. Ainz could see a large, hulking figure, but that was about it. Riza somehow heard it, and reloaded her gun. "You may have to wait a minute, I've got a customer of my own."

She spun around and fired, landing a solid shot straight to the homunculus' shoulder. It fell back rather heavily, and Ainz could make it out then, as the setting sun lit up the room enough for him to see better. The homunculus had on a similarly themed clothing to what Envy wore back when he was in his true form, and was rather overweight. If the Homunculi were named after the sins, Ainz would put all his money on this being Gluttony, or Sloth. He bet the former.

Riza reloaded her weapon, as Ainz pulled his sword, still silent, and unnoticed by Gluttony. Riza gasped as Gluttony's wound healed before her eyes, and stood up to his full height, looking rather imposing. The receiver for the telephone clattered to the floor, and Roy's worried voice came through. "Elizabeth? Hey? What's going on?" he called, worried.

Riza fired more shots, knocking Gluttony back a little. Black Hayate was barking frantically. Gluttony surged forward, grabbing Riza by her neck, and raising her up. Ainz stepped forward, and pulled back his arm. Gluttony smiled. "Are you done now? I'm ready to eat you!" he said in a child like voice.

He opened his mouth, showing a tongue with the Orobouros on it, and was about to bite her, when suddenly Ainz swung with one of the huge blades he had and decapitated Gluttony. Gluttony stumbled, and dropped Riza. He backed away, and turned to Roy as his head regenerated. Gluttony looked at Ainz, and appeared to be thinking. "Hey you're the new sacrifice! I wanted to eat you, but Lusty said no, so I can't eat you." He turned back to Hawkeye, but when he moved, Ainz spoke.

"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you must fight me. If you don't want to, I'm sure it would be fine with Lust if you didn't kill me, so long as I'm alive in the end? I do want a challenge for once. Maybe you can give me one? Gluttony." Ainz said to the clearly slow thinking Homunculus. Hopefully it was dumb enough to accept that as a reason to focus on him instead. Gluttony nodded, and ran at Ainz. Ainz sidestepped, tripped Gluttony, and when Gluttony hit the floor, stabbed through Gluttony so hard it went through its spine, then the chest, and finally through the stone floor, cracking it from the force. He then pulled it out, simultaneously slicing the body down the back, spilling blood all over the floor.

"Move, Armored!" Riza called, and Ainz, seeing their guns, stepped to the side. Riza and Fuery began emptying their chambers into Gluttony, every shot forcing him to move back, whether out of the impact, or trying to move out of the way. The dim witted homunculus went back until he was close to the edge of the tower. They stopped firing when their guns ran out. Gluttony healed rapidly, and was about to move back to attack them, but hesitated when he had to choose between them or Ainz. A snapping sound appeared, and Roy came up from the stairwell, the explosion from his ignition glove blasting Gluttony to where he was teetering on the edge. Ainz charged, swinging both his blades, and cut the homunculus completely into quarters, and knocking the body off the edge from the force. The pieces flew out, the smaller ones turning to dust, and the main part of Gluttony's burnt body hitting the roof of a building across the street. He watched the homunculus, who didn't seem to be moving.

Roy looked at the blood, and paled. He turned to Riza. "Is that-"

"No Roy, all the blood it that guy's. Ainz did that to him." Roy's eyes widened as he looked at the armored figure who was covered in blood that spurted from Gluttony's wounds.

Ainz made to jump down, or transmute stairs, but Roy stopped him.

"That guy is dead. Armored, I need you to go meet with the rest of the group. It is imperative that we follow the target. Remember, you owe me an explanation for letting you do this." Roy said.

Ainz watched the body of Gluttony for a moment longer, then nodded, and used a {Discern Entity} on the body as he turned away. He walked down the stairs to meet with the others and Barry. On his way down he used a spell to to simultaneously remove the armor and make a new set, so the blood was gone. At least he didn't have to worry about dents in it. There wasn't any weapon that could dent it in this world, and no one other than him knew how to transmute Mythril.

Arriving at the bottom, he saw Barry chasing his body. Ainz heard them mention that it had the mind of a wild animal now, which made Ainz happy that he didn't have to worry about any morals stopping him from killing it.

Running up to Barry, Ainz realized his silencing spell wore off, but he would put it back on when he had a reason for it, but it wouldn't matter because Barry was louder than him because Barry's iron plate armor was clanking more. Barry waved as Ainz caught up to him. "Hey! You're the new guy with armor! Didn't that foreigner say that you weren't human?" he chuckled.

Ainz looked to Barry. "I'd appreciate that if it didn't get spread around." Ainz said dangerously, frustrated that he hadn't made sure the Xingese teen couldn't tell anyone, possibly via mind spells.

Barry waved his remaining arm. "Don't worry, your helping me get my body, right? I owe you for that, so I'll keep your secret!"

A car roared up to them, with Roy at the wheel. "Armored, Barry, don't let him get away!" Roy called.

"Don't worry, we won't lose him!" Barry cackled.

Ainz listened to the conversation in the car as he ran next to it, but only paid attention when he heard the word 'Homunculus' and the car swerved.

Roy argued that that was impossible, but Al responded my saying that Greed had kidnapped him earlier. Ainz entered the conversation. "You met Greed? Which Ultimate power did he have?" Ainz asked, swiftly aiming to get information about the enemy. Al glanced at him, surprised for a moment that Ainz was keeping up by the car, and that he believed the story about Greed.

"W-well, he survived the top of his head being knocked off and recovered a minute later, and he had what he called his Ultimate shield, which was essentially hardening the carbon in his skin to become harder than any substance I've ever seen." he responded. "I wouldn't be surprised if you din't believe me." Then he would have frowned if it was possible to as a suit of armor. "Have you met him before?" Al asked.

Ainz hit himself mentally for cornering himself. "I believe you. I have read on them, yes, I was wondering if you could make a sentient being without doing human transmutation, so the result is homunculi, except the ones without Philosophers Stones don't last more than the time you are powering them."

Al accepted the answer as true. "Well, King Bradley fought and killed Greed, then his subordinate." his voice shook a little with the words.

"Interesting." Ainz mused. 'Bradley must be strong to kill someone with unbreakable skin. Although the Fuhrer's abilities may lie in something that can puncture the shield.'

"Wait, so I turned fat boy back there into a burnt puddle of grease. You're telling me he's already back up and fine?" Roy said in disbelief.

Al nodded. "Probably."

"That's just great..." Roy grumbled.


Location: Laboratory 3

Time: 2045 Hours

The people from the car peered around the corner, looking at the entrance of the building the body had entered.

"My body ran in there. It seems to think it can hide from me."

Roy rubbed his chin. "The third Laboratory, huh? So this ties them directly to the Government." Roy turned to the group. "That's all we need for now, we're falling back."

Barry ran in front of Roy, into the building. "You have fun doing that. I'm going to get my body now." he said, running inside.

Jean cursed, pulling down his mask. "That psycho stormed the building!"

Roy nodded smugly. "Yep, it's our lucky day." Havoc turned, confused.

"It is out duty to clear the building and follow a dangerous criminal, is it not?" Roy explained excitedly.

"Clever." Ainz said, walking into the building with the rest of the group.


Inside, people were screaming, getting out of the way of Barry as he tore down the halls trying to get to his body. Somehow, he did not get lost in the Lab.

"All personnel must evacuate immediately!" Roy called out. He turned to a guard that walked up next to him. "The trespasser is a deranged murderer, we'll handle this. Secure the exits!" The man nodded, and started shouting orders behind them.

They walked down the staircase and through two wire doors. Before them were two paths.

"How are we supposed to find him?" Havoc complained.

"We'll have to split up." Roy commanded.

Ainz judged each path, and called out, "I'll go left."

They decided who else would go each way, and it ended with Ainz, Riza, and Alphonse going left, and Havoc and Roy going right.

Ainz silent-cast the silence spell, so his armor didn't clank. Alphonse if Alphonse or Riza noticed, they didn't comment.

After saying goodbye, they parted ways.

Ainz got a nervous feeling in his chest, and it only grew over time when he didn't sense anything nearby, nor did he hear anything up ahead. Suddenly, the room shook from an explosion. They glanced at each other, then kept on moving.

A few minutes later, they arrived in a large white room, with a door covered in some kind of strange symbols. In the middle of the room, Barry stood over his bloody dead body. "You're too late. It appears a body cannot survive with a random soul stuffed into it." he explained. Al stiffened, realizing the same might apply to his body.

'That's something to look into. I technically give undead beings their souls back so they have at least a modicum of intelligence. Would they fall apart over time? Clearly not the completely sentient ones, as they have no drain on my mana to stay in existence, but the smaller ones, like the skeleton swarms, have a limited duration before they die again and have to be re-summoned.'

Al began saying something about his brother, but Ainz spun around, cutting him off. "We have company." he said, facing the direction they came from. A woman with an Orobouros tattoo on her chest, right above her breasts, walked in through the entrance.

Barry turned as well, and chuckled when he saw who it was. "I was wondering when you were going to show up, Lusty."

The Homunculus had no emotion on her face. "Number 66, Care to explain why you're helping the Colonel?"

"I thought it would be fun to change things up." he explained. "Plus, I've wanted to chop you up since I met you!"

Lust sighed. "You're such a handful 66, and I'm sad to see you here, Armor Boys, you just had to tag along. Talk about a setback." she pouted. "It's bad enough to lose one, but now you're forcing me to kill the second and third candidates!"

"Candidate? Third?" Al said, confused.

"Yes, you, Mr. Dark and Brooding, and Mr. Gallantry." she responded, smirking. Ainz realized that she was referring to Alphonse, him, and Mustang, but for what? It frustrated him to no end how much information he had, but yet so little.

"That's enough of the casual chitchat Lusty. All I want to hear from you is screaming!" Barry cried, as he threw himself at her. Lust swiped up a hand at Barry. Her fingernails extended in midair, and cut through Barry with ease. His pieces clattered to the floor, and remained there, deathly still.

"I do hate overconfident men." she sighed.

'I suppose that would be the Ultimate Blade, or Spear, depending how she uses it. If it's like Greed's Ultimate shield, she can cut through my Armor with it. I need to be careful.' Ainz thought.

"Ah, where was I?" she asked, turning to the group. "Ah, I was about to send the Lieutenant to be with her superior." Lust began walking towards them silently, allowing the words to sink in.

Riza's eyes narrowed, confused. Ainz snapped his head towards Lust. "How dare you..." he said coldly. Ainz's anger was turned immediately to a mild frustration by his emotion suppressant. The anger wasn't caused by fear or revenge for Roy's death, but rather Roy dying would practically reset Ainz's progress in infiltrating the government, and he would lose a source of information about the Homunculi unless he found someone like Roy, which was very unlikely. Before he could move to kill Lust for disrupting his plans, Riza realized what Lust meant.

"No... When you said you'd already had to kill someone, you didn't mean... You didn't!" Riza said in disbelief. Lust smiled widely.

"YOU BITCH!" Riza cried, pulling out a gun and repeatedly firing at Lust. The bullets slammed into Lust, who's eyes widened for a second. Holes started appearing as the bullets slammed into her. The gun clicked as it ran out of ammo, and Hawkeye pulled out another one from behind her back. Finally, the bullets stopped, Riza panting as she stared at Lust with pure hate.

"Are you done?" Lust sighed. Tears began streaming down Riza's face and she dropped to her knees. Lust continued walking towards her, her nails lengthening again to a few feet long. "Such a sad and weak creature... another typical human." Lust said, staring at Riza.

Suddenly, a movement from Ainz caught her attention, and suddenly he was right in front of her. Lust felt an immense pain in her chest, and gasped, dropping to her knees. Looking down, Ainz's blade stuck through her chest, right below the Orobouros. Unknown to Ainz, her Philosophers Stone had cracked from the impact. As a true Philosophers Stone is made to perfection, when a stone cracks, which is theoretically impossible, they simply reform, and can only truly be destroyed by being used up. However, they lose a large amount of souls in the progress, about 10% to repair, and lose quite a few souls over time afterwards if it is still cracked. The resulting energy being blown out forcefully caused immense pressure within her. Blood came out of her mouth as the pain grew. She healed the stone and her body seconds later, weakened by a fair amount from the fracture of her Philosophers Stone and leakage. She pushed off of him, leaping backwards.

Lust was filled with something she had almost never felt before. Fear. She looked up as Ainz moved towards her, a practically visible aura of death bubbling around him. He flashed forward, faster than she could see, even with her advanced senses. He stabbed her completely again, this time with both swords, and pulled her close. Her skin burned wherever he touched her, and it regenerated just as quickly. "Well then..." he whispered into her ear. "How about you face something that isn't human then? Hmm?" he said chillingly, just loud enough where only she could hear.

She paled, and looked into the helmet right next to her, and all she saw were glowing eyes. She was frozen with the amount of killing intent rolling off of him, and it seemed as if only she could see it. Alphonse looked on in shock, seeing the Homunculus not moving, in a perfect position to strike Ainz, but seemed to be terrified instead. Ainz took his swords, which were still in her, and with a feat of strength, pulled them to the sides, tearing Lust apart. She shrieked, as he body quickly regrew he lower half, which had been ripped off in the process.

Lust snapped out of the feeling of terror enough to move around, and strike at Ainz. He stepped back, wary of her Ultimate Spear. She pointed it at him, but Ainz clapped, and then pointed at her. The air shimmered, making it look as if she were underwater. From Ainz's point of view, she was encompassed in a dome of shimmering air, like on a hot summers day. He pointed the finger down, and the air condensed on her, shredding and compressing her entire body, flattening it completely before she could scream. As she was a Homunculus, she had no entrails, and her 'blood' was a philosophers stone, which fell apart afterwards. Even still, it was gruesome.

Ainz stepped back, ready for another attack as she regrew. He didn't attack until she was mostly reformed because he was unsure if he could harm her much while she was destroyed, and would rather wait until Lust was full to attack again. Lust, completely ignoring the fear aura by now, thrust her hand towards Ainz, growing the spears out until the hit Ainz. He spun his swords, deflecting three of the spears, but the other two hit his armor, puncturing it. And then through his arm and upper shoulder. Alphonse gasped as hit hit, and Ainz just stood there with the spears in his arm.

"That hurts." he said dryly, swinging an arm upwards, shattering the spears. Separated from the main body, they disintegrated. Lust stared at him anger.

"Sacrifice or not, you will pay for being in my way!" she shouted. She struck the ground shattering the concrete and creating a dust cloud. She reached forward, stretching her nails to be long, and backhanded Ainz with the flat part of the nails, who was taken by surprise due to the dust in the way. The impact threw Ainz across the room, stunning him from the impact. He winced from the pain, which took him by surprise. The puncturing of his armor must have dealt more damage to him than he thought. Still not a lot, but the amount surprised him. 'About 7% of my health, probably a critical hit, and the armor piercing bypasses my natural defense stats. That leads to more damage than I would like...' he realized, as his body numbed the pain and he already healed from it.

Clang!

He looked up to see Alphonse standing in front of him, taking the hit from the Ultimate Spear that would have hit Ainz right in the skull. The spears were stuck in Al's helmet, chest, and stomach. Ainz was surprised it hadn't hit the glyph binding his soul.

Lust narrowed her eyes at him. "Such a shame, you are a perfect candidate." she growled, more frustrated than anything.

She made to stab Riza with a spear, but Alphonse blocked them with his arm, and stood still, holding her arms in place while they were embedded in him.

"Alphonse, leave me and run!" Riza cried, with tears still on her face.

"No!" Alphonse cried.

"Go!" she sobbed.

"I won't!

"Leave!"

"I won't leave you!" he cried. Lust glared at him with pure hate. "I'm sick of seeing people die! And I just can't sit back and take it anymore!" He cried. "I won't let anyone else get killed! Not when I can protect them!" he said, determined. An image of a white knight with a red cape overlayed himself onto Alphonse in Ainz's mind. For a split second, Alphonse was the perfect image of Touch-me, Ainz's guild mate. Lust pulled upwards with her arms, her claws shredding through the armor into the air, and Alphonse stared her down.

"Well spoken! I couldn't agree more!" a rough voice called out.

Ainz whipped around to see Mustang mostly shirtless, with a severe burn on his side at the entrance. Al clapped, and made a wall encompassing him and Hawkeye. A second later, flames burst from Roy, encompassing Lust, burning her alive. The flames burst out near Ainz, but he clapped, and held a vacuum in place Alchemically, preventing the fire from reaching him.

"Looks like I could get you on your knees after all!" Roy said smugly, glaring down at Lust, who was on the ground in pain.

She stared at him in so much surprise, Ainz nearly laughed. "He's using flint as an ignition, and carved a transmutation circle into his hand!" she gasped. Ainz was surprised at his ingenuity. "You should've bled to death by now!"

"I burned the wound closed." he replied, burning her again, and again. "You told me I couldn't kill you, so let's see how many times it's going to take!" He flicked the flint again, and again, burning Lust's skin away as it grew back. Lust shrieks filled the air, as she was unable to move while her body was burnt, the nerves were destroyed in the process, immobilizing her.

Lust finally let out a screech, lunging at Roy, who dodged as he moved to burn her again, and tripped, the blade narrowly missing his face. Roy fell to the ground, and looked up as she brought down her clawed hand, and closed his eyes.

Then nothing happened.

He opened them to see Ainz there with his sword through her back, and her chest, shattering the exposed Philosophers Stone with a tinkling sound. Lust gasped for air as her lungs were punctured. Lust struggled for a second, then seemed to relax. She began disintegrating, and sighed. "You've killed me..." she said as she died. She gazed into Roy's eyes. "I love the way your eyes are cold and focused. I look forward to the day those eyes will be wide with agony. It's coming... it's coming..." she whispered, as she finally dissipated. The remains of the Philosophers Stone melted away into nothingness. Roy remained there on the ground, relaxing as the injuries finally kicked in.

Ainz stood up, relieved that Roy was still alive, and sheathed his swords. He walked over to Roy, who was reassuring Riza that he was alright. Ainz made sure that Roy really was fine by quickly checking his health stats, and looked down at him.

Roy chuckled up at Ainz. "Nice one with the swordsmanship and the Air Alchemy. I caught the end of that attack, and I have to say that that was one of the most devastating attacks I've seen. And I should know, what with Air Alchemy having to do with my Flame Alchemy, as I control the oxygen to burn the flames."

Ainz grinned under the helmet. "Smart thinking with cauterizing the wound. We Alchemists really are ingenious aren't we-" Ainz's head snapped up, looking to the doorway, the rest followed his gaze, but saw nothing. A few moments of holding his gaze there, Ainz lowered it. "It's nothing... thought I saw something." he stood up and stretched. "I must be getting paranoid in my old age. I need to stretch these old bones." he said, rubbing his arm.

"You aren't getting old." Alphonse said, being polite. He glanced at Ainz's armor and saw the puncture wounds in it from Lust.

Al gasped upon seeing the holes in the armor, but Ainz waved him off. "I'm fine, nothing a bandage or two wont fix. In fact, I already transmuted the material I wear underneath this armor to cover it." Al sighed in relief, and Roy chuckled.

"We need to get you a doctor!" Alphonse cried, mother-henning Mustang.

"Get one for Havoc as well." he responded, still smiling. "I'm happy we're all alive.

Alphonse lifted up Roy carefully, and Riza made sure that he was stable, Ainz turned back to the room, and saw that Barry's old body was crawling to the remains of the armor. Thinking quickly, he strode over and decapitated the body in one strike. He then walked over to the armor, and saw one piece, from the neck of the chestplate, with a circle inscribed on it. Picking up the piece, it moved slightly, and Barry's voice came from it.

"Hey! That was a close one, wasn't it? Did you get her?" he asked excitedly.

Ainz nodded. "I sure did. Now, I have an idea to get you a better body for your soul." Ainz said. "If you're up for it... that is."

Barry cheered. "Of course I would! I never got to thank that woman for helping me, or the Colonel for that matter."

"Then it's settled. This may be a bit disorienting." Ainz opened up his dimensional storage, and gently placed Barry inside. He turned, and left the room, and followed the group out of the building.

I wanted Ainz to take out Lust, but Roy took the limelight, and Ainz did get rid of over half of her remaining Stone with crushing it as well as other stuff, leaving around 30% for Roy to burn up. Alphonse is suspicious of why Ainz armor clanked last chapter, but Ainz threw him off the idea by showing injury and that he referred to himself as wearing clothes under the armor. Edward has been woefully left out, so I hope he gets filled in after this, what with Scar going around. Ainz vs Scar, Anyone? Decomposition vs Mythril... hmm.
