Overlordly broken

by oblivon2991

"Everything has a beginning has an end" as the saying goes. In the last day of the popular VRMMO named YGGRADASIL in the notorious guild named Ainz Ooal Gown not only Momonga remained to upkeep and manage the guild. There was an another member who helped him and stayed with him until the very end. Let's find out what happens next. (Completed. Complete rewrite coming when ready)

12. Needs a Good Spanking

Thank you for reading my fanfic and giving me a chance.

My mother language is not English so please be patient about the grammatical issues.

I don't own the Overlord(オーバーロードŌbārōdo?) novel or anime series created by Kugane Maruyama.

I would like to thank the wonderful job what the Skythewood translator team done with the light novel translation.

Without their hard and persistent work, I surely couldn't write this story.

Please review it I know I will make mistakes what I will intend to correct and try to learn from my mistakes and improve myself.

Thank you!

Now let's continue this little insanity of mine!

---

"...Then… let's start!"

Esdeath had already taken her position when Ainz started his preparations.

Ainz shouted as he cast his spell. He carefully selected a spell from his massive repertoire of magic — and activated a 10th-tier spell.

"[Body of Effulgent Beryl]!"

Ainz's skeletal body glowed green, and then—

"Hahaha!"

—He laughed, his eyes never leaving Shalltear as he cast his spell. He laughed because of this unexpected outcome, and also because he had won a big bet.

"Exactly as I had expected. As long as they don't consider my actions to be a clear sign of hostility, the NPCs won't even enter combat status! It's just like how it was in the game!"

These actions were identical to those of mind-controlled monsters in YGGDRASIL. The fact that the game's logic could be used here slightly improved the massive disadvantage he faced.

"That being the case, I'm sorry about this, Shalltear, but I'll have to ask you to stay that way before the battle starts."

Ainz continued casting various spells.

"—[Fly], [Bless of Magic Caster], [Infinity Wall], [Magic Ward - Holy], [Life Essence], [Greater Full Potential], [Freedom], [False Data - Life], [See Through], [Paranormal Intuition], [Greater Resistance], [Mantle of Chaos], [Indomitability], [Sensor Boost], [Greater Luck], [Magic Boost], [Draconic Power], [Greater Hardening], [Heavenly Aura], [Absorption], [Penetrate Up], [Greater Magic Shield], [Mana Essence], [Triplet Maximize Magic Explode Mine], [Triplet Magic Greater Magic Seal], [Triplet Maximize Boosted Magic Arrow]—"

During all of theese Esdeath inspected Ainz from afar„[Greater Full Potential], [Greater Hardening], , [Penetrate Up]. Kukuku. Ainz-san you naugthy naugthy boy. Stop dirty thougths. Bad Esdeath! Bad!"

This seemingly endless stream of spells surrounded Ainz's body.

"Then, here I come!"

The first thing Ainz did was to use one of the ultimate moves of magic, those spells which surpassed the 10th tier of magic.

These spells were known as super-tier magic—

From the perspective of the tiers of magic, spells of this level could be considered spells, and not spells at the same time. To begin with, they did not consume MP, but instead they could only be used a limited number of times per day.

When one first learned them, they could only be used once per day. Every 10 levels after level 70, however, one could use them an additional time per day.

One could learn a single super-tier spell per level.

Rather than call them magic, they might be better described as skills.

In other words, the average player could only use four super-tier spells per day at level 100. One might ask at this point — why not consecutively cast super-tier spells to defeat Shalltear? Indeed, the destructive power of super-tier magic was unrivaled, dwarfing even that of 10th-tier spells. If one could cast super-tier spells one after the other, even the damage alone would only be survivable by a vanishingly small fraction of level 100 players. Shalltear was not among that number, so that would definitely defeat her.

However, he could not do that.

The reason was because super-tier magic could not be consecutively cast.

To begin with, each super-tier spell needed a certain amount of casting time. Cash items could remove that casting time, but another penalty prevented the repeated casting of super-tier spells.

Once any member of a team cast a super-tier spell, every member would be penalized by being unable to cast such spells for a certain period of time — in other words, a cooldown period.

This restriction was put in place to prevent guild wars from being decided by who could vomit out the most super-tier spells. In addition, this cooldown period could not be eliminated by any skill or cash item.

Thus, when PVPing, the party which cast a super-tier spell first was often considered an idiot.

After all, defeat was likely when one expended one's trump card without properly understanding one's foe. The fact was that there were very few PVP battles where the victors were the first to cast super-tier spells.

Yet, Ainz's first move was to cast such a spell.

There was no frustration or confusion on his face. A calm, steady light glowed within his eye sockets.

A gigantic dome-shaped magic circle appeared around Ainz, extending about 10 meters away from him.

The magic circle shone a brilliant white, and translucent diagrams of characters and symbols appeared. These images changed ceaselessly, with kaleidoscopic speed, differing from second to second.

Ainz could have used a cash item to instantly cast the super-tier spell, but he did not do so. Instead, his eyes moved from Shalltear to his surroundings.

"No ambushers…? Or are they watching from afar? This should be the best time to attack, right?"

Magic casters who were preparing a super-tier spell suffered from lowered defenses. In addition, the super-tier spell would self-terminate if the caster took a certain amount of damage.

Ainz laughed and then shrugged.

It was just a hunch, but Ainz was quite sure that Shalltear had not been staked out as bait, but simply abandoned here.

"What is all this, anyway? Ah, I don't have the eyes of god, so I can't see through everything. If I did, perhaps things might not have ended up like this."

He could not move around freely while casting a super-tier spell. All he could do was stand there like a dummy and wait for time to pass.

In order to effectively make use of his time, Ainz pulled out a thin strip of curved metal from his pocket dimension. When he placed it on his wrist, the strip curled and fastened itself to him. There was a row of characters on the metal strip, which changed as every second passed.

Needless to say, it was a watch.

"The timer's set, Momonga-oniichan!"

An incredibly fake, cutesy and high-pitched girl's voice echoed through the surroundings, and it was hard to resist the urge to knit his brows.

"...Why can't I turn off the voice on this watch…"

If he turned off her voice, it would be the same as an ordinary watch.

These preparations took time, and when they were complete, the blue light of the magic circle intensified, indicating that the super-tier spell was ready to be cast.

"Then, let's go."

Having steeled his heart, a look of conviction filled Ainz's eyes.

"Super-tier spell - [Fallen Down]!"

—There was the sound of sizzling, as though someone had thrown a burning torch into water.

The spell which surpassed the very definition of tiers went off — it looked as though the sun had risen on the land, dying everything in his field of view a brilliant white.

The exothermic conflagration generated a rapidly-expanding wave of heat, which greedily consumed everything within its radius.

This hell of a vision lasted only five seconds, but it felt dozens of times longer than that.

Eventually, the brilliant white world disappeared. In the wake of the vanishing pulse of super hot energy was a large circular area — vastly different from before.

Nothing outside the area of effect was affected. The trees were still trees, the earth was as full of vitality as the forest, and the forest itself was untouched — an extremely normal world.

In contrast, the area within the circular area was charred black, converted into a dead zone of jaw-dropping proportions.

The awe-inspiring temperatures had consumed all the vegetation in the area, leaving only a few carbonized tree stumps. There were several vitrified areas on the ground which were still emitting smoke.

Standing beyond the bounds of that world which permitted no survivors, Ainz felt a dreadful presence washing out from within.

It came from the only person who remained within that area.

Nothing living could have survived that fatal heat.

„So this is how a Super Tier Spell looks in this world. Pretty interesting. Its energy signature rivaled with the sun itself. I wonder if I even capable of devouring with even a portion of a Super Tier spell power with my [Magic Eater] job."

thought Esdeath while she watched the start of the fight

"Kakahaaah~ Kahaaaah~"

That strange sound, accompanied by what seemed to be a gnashing of teeth, filtered into Ainz's ears.

He turned to look at its source and saw a point of red amidst a world scorched black.

He saw Shalltear with wisps of smoke trailing off her body, and a look on her face which seemed to say, "not enough gun". Her crimson pupils, filled with hostility and bloodlust, focused on Ainz's body.

"Ainz-samaaaa! That really hurt!"

Shalltear slowly walked forward, her footfalls fracturing the charred ground underneath.

Step by step, she shrank the distance between Ainz and herself, the Spuit Lance in her hand cutting through the air with a whoosh which indicated that she was still able to fight.

"That was just a meaningless present. Did you like it, Shalltear?"

"Ahahahaha!"

Shalltear laughed, and her mirth came from the bottom of her heart.

"Wonderful! To think I have to kill you, the all-powerful Ainz-sama!"

"-Sama, you say. Why do you address me as -sama? Who is your master?"

"What a strange question. Is it not natural to address a Supreme Being like yourself with -sama? As for my present master…"

"...Why do I have to fight you, Ainz-sama? ...Ah, is it because you attacked me? But why would you attack me, Ainz-sama… I need to destroy anyone who attacks me with all my strength? Why is that?"

"Well, I'm still not too sure why, but since you attacked me, I must destroy you, Ainz-sama!"

"...Is that so… I understand. I understand what kind of state you're in..."

"Oho, what's wrong, Ainz-sama? You look a little weak there. How can you beat me like that?"

"Hmph, aren't you getting something wrong? Do you think someone like you can defeat me — defeat Ainz Ooal Gown? The name of 'Ainz Ooal Gown' is invincible. Shalltear, you will kneel in submission before me."

"Ahahahaha! Ooooh, how scary~"

Moving with a speed which put gales to shame, Shalltear charged, wreathed in bloodlust. The scorched ground exploded beneath her feet with every step she took. Clementine's assaults were swift, but Shalltear's speed was in a class of her own.

For an instant, Ainz was grateful that he did not need to blink because Shalltear was fast enough that he would lose track of her if he took his eyes off her for a moment.

In a gentle voice, he said:

"It's dangerous, you know."

The tender warning he gave Shalltear, as though concerned for her well-being, referred to the countermeasure he had prepared for Shalltear's attack.

As Shalltear attacked, the [Triplet Maximize Magic - Exploding Mine] spell which he had cast beforehand automatically triggered.

The three explosions blew Shalltear's body away.

As Ainz saw this,he apologized in an even more compassionate tone:

"Shalltear, please forgive my late warning. Actually, there were mines there… [Maximize Magic - Gravity Maelstrom]."

She was still flying back from the force of the explosion when Ainz hurled a black sphere after her. It was a spinning vortex of hyper-intensified gravity that could significantly damage a target, even one of Shalltear's level.

"[Wall of Stone]."

A vast wall of stone emerged from the ground, completely enveloping Shalltear. The gravity maelstrom Ainz had thrown collided with the wall, causing it to bend, twist and crumble, but the gravity maelstrom vanished as well.

"Hmph! [Maximize Magic - Hold of Rib]!"

As Ainz followed up with another spell, massive ribs erupted from the earth and closed in on Shalltear like a bear trap. The sharp points of white bone bit deeply into Shalltear's body.

"Kah!"

"...Shalltear, I forgot to tell you, but I've already set mines around this area. How about attacking me from the air instead?"

"—Ainz-sama, I won't take the bait. You've put traps in the air too, haven't you?"

"Was that so obvious?"

"Yes, I saw through it long ago."

She chuckled, and the red flames in Ainz's eyes dimmed.

There was nothing of the sort. The mines Ainz had laid just now were the only set. Neither had he set traps in the air. This battle was not an easy one where he could waste MP on ineffective spells.

Ainz was the challenger in this battle. He was walking a very fine tightrope, and he would fall if he was not careful. Ainz knew this, and he was not stupid enough to become complacent over a small victory like that.

"Still, that's Ainz-sama for you. A simple charge like that couldn't close the gap between us."

„The real show's about to start."

„In any case, I need to keep doing damage until my MP runs out."

Shalltear braced the Spuit Lance, narrowing her eyes at the magic caster before her — at her master, Ainz Ooal Gown.

She had no idea why she had to oppose her beloved master, but her mind told her that it was not an important question. All she had to do was kill him and then ponder the matter at length afterward.

As she calmly considered this, Shalltear smiled she noted how favorable the current situation — against a lone undead being — was for her.

„So, please tremble in fear at your dwindling HP and MP. Ahaha, my heart pounds so hard whenever I think of Ainz-sama's terrified face! But where is Esdeath-sama? If there is Ainz-sama. Why not is she with him? Something is not right!"

Shalltear gripped her divine-class Spuit Lance as she hastily threw a battle plan together.

„Ah~ Poor Ainz-sama. He can't summon frontlines and has to fight all by himself~And seemingly Esdeath-sama left him alone as well. Poor Ainz-sama." Her grin goes wide

Shalltear cast [Mana Essence] the already sadistic grin formed on her face goes wider than before.

That spell permitted her to perceive her opponent's mana for a while, and so Ainz's remaining mana appeared before her.

„That's a lot of mana… how did he amass that much?"

Ainz had about one and a half times the MP (mana) of Shalltear. There was probably nobody else in Nazarick who had a mana capacity like that.

„He truly is a Supreme Being. One could call him an extraordinary undead… a super undead… no, a godly undead."

That said, she still did not think that she would lose. Perhaps it might be different from the other Guardians, but to Shalltear, Ainz, and his enhanced necromantic attack spells were hardly a challenge for her.

„Of course, I mustn't be careless. That said, why isn't Ainz-sama wearing his divine-class equipment? And why Esdeath-sama is not here to help him out?"

„Could it be that he wore it to deal with me? It's very likely, but there's no point just staring each other down. Nothing will happen. So let's restore some health first in preparation for a drawn-out battle..."

"[Regenerate]."

The spell Shalltear had just cast could even recover the health of the undead. Currently, it was restoring the health lost from the super-tier attack spell.

"[Maximize Magic - Gravity Maelstrom]."

The black orb approached at great speed. She considered casting the [Wall of Stone] from before, but that would not put any pressure on her opponent.

Shalltear selected—

"—[Greater Teleportation]."

The plan was to teleport into close range and begin melee combat.

Cheh!

Shalltear guessed that this was the effect of the teleport-impeding spell, [Delay Teleportation]."

Shalltear sensed the mines and assumed her mist form to evade them as they flew toward her. This skill transmuted the body into mist, and it was quite a flavourful skill for vampires. However, it did not transform the body into the physical phenomenon called mist but instead phased the body into the astral plane.

"Naive!"

After Ainz's shout, he followed up with a [Maximize Magic - Astral Smite]."

That spell could strike astral entities, and it found its mark on Shalltear's body, whose defense had been somewhat reduced after taking mist form.

"Truly marvelous, as expected of you, Ainz-sama!"

Ainz did not respond to that honest praise. He merely studied his opponent with doubtful eyes.

"You can't believe me, right? But I do feel you are someone worthy of my loyalty."

Still — Shalltear's lips could not help but curl up in a smile. This was because Ainz's MP had diminished greatly.

„Then, how about this one?"

Shalltear made her move.

"[Force Sanctuary]."

White radiance filled the area around Shalltear, a defensive barrier made of pure mana. While this barrier impeded the caster's attacks, it would also completely negate her opponent's' attacks.

Through this barrier of light, she saw Ainz scrambling to cast a spell.

"That's right. If you don't cast a spell soon, it will go very badly for you."

Shalltear already knew why Ainz seemed to have the upper hand in this battle.

Was it because of his abilities — no.

Was it because of his equipment — no.

Was it because of his preparations — yes.

Shalltear was poor at defensive spells, and she had no intention of casting them. Her aim was pure to drain Ainz's mana. She smiled to Ainz as he frantically cast his spell.

„My my, everything's going according to plan, Ainz-sama. Still, you're not even using scrolls, staves or wands; are you trying to preserve your strength? Are you too panicked? Or did you know they weren't effective against me?"

Ainz's magic resistance completely negated the effects of low to mid-tier spells, regardless of how powerful their casters were. In contrast, Shalltear's magic resistance was affected by her opponent's stats and levels. Even a 10th-tier spell by a weak magic caster would not be able to breach her resistance, but against a powerful magic caster — like Ainz — 1st-tier spells were the limit.

As Shalltear analyzed the combat conditions, Ainz continued casting a spell.

"[Maximize Magic - Thousand Bone Lance]!"

scattered chips of bone flew in all directions, melting away into nothingness.

"Cheh!"

She had not expected this magic barrier — upon which she had spent a significant amount of mana — to be broken in one move. Shalltear was unable to believe this as the attack on her continued.

"It's not over yet! [Maximize Magic - Thousand Bone Lance]!"

"—[Greater Teleportation]."

Her teleport destination was an open space in the air, outside of the [Delay Teleportation] spell's area of effect.

"Don't think you can get away — [Maximize Magic - Gravity Maelstrom]."

She seemed calm and collected as always, but Shalltear was quite fascinated by Ainz's incredible prowess. These masterful abilities could only have been honed through long experience.

"You seem to be taking this quite easy."

"Why is it that you are so at ease while fighting me? We are on the same level, but my gear is stronger than yours. Granted, my specialty cannot be brought to bear — which is to my disadvantage — but that is all. Still, I can sense the confidence from you, your belief that you have the advantage and that victory is assured."

A sense of superiority filled Shalltear.

"Ahahaha, then I shall show you one of the reasons why I can take it so easy. Did you know I had a skill like this?"

With a smile of victory, Shalltear evoked an Impure Shockwave Shield. A wave of force — colored reddish-black like clotted blood — spread forth, disintegrating the gravity orb upon contact.

This was one of Shalltear's skills, which combined offense and defense.

"Cheh!"

Ainz clicked his tongue at this.

Shalltear laughed.

A gigantic divine lance appeared in her hand. It was well over three meters long with an especially large head

"Oh… I've never seen that before. Did you summon it with a skill or something?"

"Ahahaha, we'll see how long you can act tough, Ainz-sama. Since you don't seem to know this weapon, allow me to introduce it to you. Its name is the Purifying Javelin!"

Shalltear released the Javelin what pierced through Ainz chest.

"Guwaargh!"

"Ahahaha! That's a holy-element weapon for you; it seems like it was quite effective!"

Shalltear summoned the gigantic lance to her hand again,

"Kuh! Don't look down on me! [Maximize Magic - Reality Slash]!"

Ainz cast a powerful spell.

When one reached the highest level of the strongest warrior class, World Champion, one would learn the supreme, ultimate skill called [World Break]. This 10th-tier spell was merely an inferior copy of that skill, but it was still among the most damaging spells in the game.

A hit from this powerful attack spell could disregard virtually any form of magical defense, but the damage dealt converted back into health and flowed back into her body, as though time itself had reversed to render the attack completely ineffective.

"What did you just do?!"

"There's no need to get worked up, Ainz-sama. That was a skill too," Shalltear answered as she gloated over him.

"Please don't think this is unfair. This was an ability which Peroroncino-sama bestowed upon me. In other words, that great being is superior to you, am I wrong, Ainz-sama? This is why Esdeath-sama don't come to your aid when you called her? Because she thinks an inferior leader can't rule her? Tell me. How does it feel to be alone? How does it feel to be the only one Supreme Being who are ever rejected by an another? "

"—That felt like it came from the heart."

That emotionless tone — or perhaps it was so calm that one could not pick out any emotions from it — filled Shalltear with doubt. However, before it could settle in, Ainz shouted again:

"Here I come, Shalltear! I'll show you that no matter what skills you have, none of them can hold a candle to my magic!"

"Aha! Do you want a showdown of firepower then, Ainz-sama? Don't think I'll lose to you!"

A [Maximize Magic - Reality Slash] spell crossed paths with a Purifying Javelin, each tearing into the bodies of their targets.

Shalltear Bloodfallen was a Floor Guardian of Nazarick, set over the 1st to 3rd Floors. At the same time, she was a loyal subordinate made by the Supreme Being Peroroncino. That being the case, was it not bizarre that she would be fighting Ainz Ooal Gown, who was formerly known as Momonga? Why was she doing battle with Ainz-sama, who was another member of the 41 Supreme Beings?

If her creator had so ordered, she would obey and fight with all her strength. Even if all of the Nazarick were her enemies, she would charge at them without a moment's hesitation. Yet, this was not the case.

She thought and she thought and she thought, but she could not find an answer.

Shalltear inspected Ainz's MP consumption with [Mana Essence], and then she fought to suppress the laughter rising in her heart. At the same time, she reversed time to recover her health.

More powerful spells consumed more mana. [Reality Slash] was one of those spells, and it was quite inefficient, in terms of damage caused for mana expended. Even so, Ainz was still using it. Shalltear thought that perhaps Ainz was hoping to deplete her health and claim victory before the battle became a brawl.

„That's right, finishing it quickly is the right thing to do because drawn-out battles are to my advantage… Perhaps it's also because Ainz-sama knows that debuff spells have little effect on the undead."

Shalltear narrowed her eyes and focused on Ainz, who was still casting big spells.

"Very well, then I shall adapt to whatever he comes up with."

I can fight without MP, but Ainz-sama is finished without MP."

She looked on Ainz — who was limited to his spells — with a gentle expression in her eyes. One could call them the eyes of a mother looking upon her child… or rather, the look of pity which the mighty would bestow upon the weak.

"How about this, then? [Summon Monster 10th]."

"As if I'd let you! [Greater Rejection]!"

The summoned monsters were dispelled in an instant, and Ainz's smug laughter reached her ears.

"I won't let you draw out the fight, Shalltear."

"Really now? Then how about a direct attack? [Maximize Magic - Vermilion Nova]!"

"[Triplet Maximize Magic - Call Greater Thunder]."

The crimson blaze — one of Ainz's weaknesses — engulfed him, while three gigantic strokes of lightning earthed themselves through Shalltear's body.

This was the first time in this battle that she had felt her health drop like a rock, which put a look of displeasure on Shalltear's face.

„Did he make preparations to resist fire?"

No matter how powerful one was, one could not prepare to resist all elemental attacks. There was still a limit, even if a heteromorphic character combined their racial resistances with job classes that granted resistances and outfitted themselves from head to toe in resistance-granting divine-class gear.

„This might be troublesome. I have no idea which elemental resistances Ainz-sama gave up."

„I'm not going to do something tedious like that. I'll target an element which he should be weak against."

"—[Maximize Magic - Brilliant Radiance]."

"—[Maximize Magic - True Dark]."

Holy-element light wrapped Ainz, purifying his body, while Shalltear's body was corroded by non-elemental darkness.

In this moment — Shalltear did not miss the fact that Ainz had flinched.

Although he was trying to cover it up by changing his stance, there was no way he could cover up the fact that he was trying to remain stoic in the face of pain.

Shalltear smiled inwardly because she had found his weakness.

„That's Ainz-sama for you… he's far superior to me in spell battle, be it in attack or defense. I used several holy-element spells in a row, but Ainz-sama took a lot less HP damage than me. Still, I also made him burn a lot of MP too."

From what she could see, Ainz's MP was greatly reduced from how it had been when they had first started out. Even so, she could see Ainz's fighting spirit burning in his eyes.

„It's getting hard to take, I want to break Ainz-sama's magnificent will and turn him into a beaten dog."

Shalltear forced herself to ignore the sensations welling up from her lower belly.

Shalltear looked at Ainz with lust-moistened eyes, and she licked her lips.

Meanwhile, Esdeath watched all of this from afar through a [crystal monitor].

„Eww. Shalltear –san please don't ever look that way. It makes me feel chilly. However inspecting the battle I could see. If Ainz-san lets this battle take a long time he will lose. Either he will make his steps soon or I had to intervene."

"I see. It would seem I've lost quite some health as well — [Greater Lethal]."

Shalltear blinked several times, unable to believe what was happening before her eyes. However, she had to accept the fact that Ainz's wounds were recovering before her eyes, even if she could not quite believe it.

"...Eh? Why is it that you can cast the divine spell [Greater Lethal]? Was it on your class' spell list?"

"No, sadly, this is not an innate ability, but an effect from a magic item. This magic item only allows me to use a single specific spell, and requires me to use an equipment slot, nor can that spell be enhanced with skills. It is also much weaker than someone casting the spell off their own list, so you could say it has many drawbacks."

At the end, she cast—

"[Maximize Magic - Greater Lethal]."

"[Body of Effulgent Beryl]."

—After healing his wounds, Ainz cast a defensive spell on himself.

Shalltear was a divine magic caster, and she had not received much knowledge from Peroroncino. Thus, she did not know what the [Body of Effulgent Beryl] spell did.

Shalltear brandished her Spuit Lance, but just as she was about to move, the words which had slipped from Ainz's mouth entered her ears.

"What a disadvantageous fight."

"If you feel it is disadvantageous, why not retreat?"

"Mm, well, you do have a point…"

Ainz's skeletal face could not show any expressions, but for some reason, she had the feeling that he was smiling bitterly at her.

"I… yes, that's right. I'm very stubborn, Shalltear. I don't want to run from this."

Ainz looked at one of his empty, skeletal hands. Shalltear's eyes went to that hand as well.

"Perhaps others will not understand why I have done this. Some might even think of me as a fool. Still, right now, I am enjoying my position as guild master, because... I… Well, I might have been guild master, but all I did was mainly coordinate events or other sundry tasks. I hardly led from the front. Still, I am now standing on the frontlines for the sake of the guild… Perhaps it was simply to satisfy me."

"Is that so? Is that what they call a man's imperative?"

"Yes… Is it? It might be… Well, to some extent, I might have resigned myself to my fate. It seems we were almost interrupted by this pointless conversation. My apologies, let's start again."

Ainz calmly studied Shalltear, who was bracing her Spuit Lance. He had to triumph in this melee if he was to attain victory.

Several giant bats flapped out from behind her to the sky. These were Elder Vampire Bats summoned through her Household Summons skill. In addition, she continued summoning Vampire Bat Swarms.

They were not strong monsters, but he could not let them do as they pleased. Ainz cast a spell:

"[Sharks Cyclone]."

„Ehh. That horrible spell. The only thing what is more horrible than that spell is the movie itself. The developers modeled the spell after a movie from the 21st century. It was horrible." thought Esdeath while she looked like the one who met Excalibur from the Soul Eater

A tornado, 100 meters high and 50 meters across appeared before Ainz. The black funnel cloud engulfed the bats before they could flee, trap them within the vortex.

Fast-swimming shapes could be seen within the rapidly-spinning tornado. These creatures were six-meter long sharks, and they moved as though they were in the ocean.

Just as the Vampire Bats were vanishing after being torn apart — a shadow broke free of the tornado.

It was a crimson shadow, bursting out of the tornado at top speed. The lance thrust before itself left an afterimage in the onlookers' eyes, like the fiery plume of a rocket.

In the instant in which Ainz had failed to pay attention, Shalltear had appeared in front of him. Her cruel weapon pierced through Ainz's chest and protruded out his back.

"Guwaaaargh!"

The weapon which had struck him also did bludgeoning damage, and the massive drop in health which resulted drew a cry of agony from Ainz.

Ainz's — no, Suzuki Satoru's — mind was assaulted by the fact that his life was ebbing away. His vision grew dim and he felt himself losing consciousness, as though he had lost a great deal of blood.

However, Ainz's will was stronger than that weak mind.

Having impaled him with the tip of her lance, she continued driving it forward, ramming the point straight into Ainz's body and forcing the thicker part of the lance behind it into him. He felt his body tearing apart, as well as a burst of intense pain, accompanied by the sensation of his health depleting further.

Thus, Ainz decided to activate the [Body of Effulgent Beryl].

The green light which enfolded him shattered.

The 10th-tier spell [Body of Effulgent Beryl] reduced the effectiveness of bludgeoning attacks against its subject while it was in effect, and it could completely negate one instance of bludgeoning damage after it was cast.

The [Body of Effulgent Beryl] absorbed the damage dealt by the lance, and so it seemed as though time had turned itself backward, the lance's tip retreating back outside Ainz's body.

"Release!"

In accordance with Ainz's command, the [Triplet Magic Greater Magic Seal] triggered three magic circles, each of which released 30 streaks of light, for a total of 90. These white bolts of light were non-elemental [Magic Arrows]. The dazzling afterimage left behind as they traveled through the air were like the spread wings of an angel — an angel of death.

The 90 magical bolts scored hit after hit on Shalltear, rapidly dropping her health.

The reason why they could pierce Shalltear's defense was because Ainz had used a skill to temporarily boost the magic arrows to the equivalent of 10th-tier spells.

Ainz was not finished yet.

"Dance! [Triplet Magic - Obsidian Sword]."

Three longswords appeared in mid-air, their black bodies gleaming. They streaked after Shalltear, as though they had a mind of their own.

"Out of my way!" Shalltear shouted as she batted them aside with her Spuit Lance.

"[Magic Destruction]."

Shalltear used her scant few remaining MP to cast a spell which dispelled other magic.

Two obsidian swords vanished from that spell

"Ahhh, how annoying!"

Shalltear paid no heed to the longsword attacking her and pressed onward to Ainz. Damage like that was barely a scratch to Shalltear.

The Spuit Lance sent Ainz flying to the side. With no way to resist bludgeoning damage now, Ainz could not ignore this damage. He stabilized himself in mid-air with [Fly], and then—

"Dammit!"

Ainz had enough health to weather an attack like that, but the problem was right before his eyes. This was because the health lost by Ainz had been used to restore Shalltear's own health.

"[Triplet Maximize Magic - Reality Slash]."

The three dimension-rending slashes drew gouts of fresh blood from Shalltear, but she paid it no heed and continued pressing forward, the implacable obsidian sword at her back.

„Shalltear's depleted of MP, so all she can do is advance and fight within the effective range of the Spuit Lance… is that it? But that's the kind of fighting I hate most..."

Ainz retreated with a [Fly] spell and continued attacking.

"[Triplet Maximize Magic - Reality Slash]."

Shalltear pulled herself before him, spurting blood as she did.

Just as he was about to do so, Ainz saw a ball of white light coalesce in front of Shalltear, which slowly shaped itself into a humanoid form.

Ainz was very aware of what that was.

His unmoving face grew stiff, and in contrast, Shalltear grinned like she had scored an overwhelming victory.

"It's here… It's finally here, huh? I knew she'd use this sooner or later, but to think Shalltear would use [Einherjar] — her trump card — at this critical moment…"

„Kukuku… So she used her trump card already. How you will manage to solve this Momonga-san. I eagerly waiting for your solution." Esdeath grinned

The white light fully resolved itself into the shape of a person.

If one ignored the bleached-white armor and the glowing skin, it was the spitting image of Shalltear.

Ainz understood that the resemblance was not merely cosmetic.

While it lacked Shalltear's spellcasting ability and several skills and had no magic items, its weapons, armor and stats were otherwise identical to Shalltear's. It was not undead, but a golem-like Construct. The two creature types had nearly identical resistances and immunities.

In other words, there was another Shalltear, who could only fight in melee combat.

Ainz had anticipated this would happen, but facing two level 100 opponents at the same time was still quite taxing.

"I could wipe them all out with an area-effect spell… but what should I do about the Einherjar?"

Just as Ainz was thinking about his next move, the Einherjar charged, and that surprised him.

Why was Shalltear not moving? Did she not intend to gang up on him?

"Now that's just unfair!" Ainz cursed. To think she would actually do something like that.

What Ainz saw were the sight of Shalltear's summoned minions disappearing one after the other, their bodies pierced by the Spuit Lance.

„Oh. That's clever Shalltear –san. To think about using your low level summons this way. Brilliant!" thought Esdeath

Shalltear was killing her summoned minions with the Spuit Lance to restore her health.

The summoned minions steadily died and vanished.

The expressionless Einherjar continued attacking, the blows knocking Ainz back.

Forced back by the continuous string of attacks, Ainz decided to use his own trump card.

Shalltear's summons was not unlimited, so they should be almost used up by now. Still, it would be bad to let Shalltear heal herself by using the surrounding monsters.

The original plan was to use the trump card once the Einherjar appeared. That plan did not account for Shalltear healing herself by killing her summoned minions.

The move Ainz was planning to use was one which was only available after reaching the maximum level (5th) in Eclipse, a skill which could only be used once every 100 hours.

It was the trump card of the Eclipse-class.

That skill was called [The Goal Of All Life Is Death].

In that moment, a clock face appeared behind Ainz, its hands indicating 12:00. Then, he cast a spell:

"[Widen Magic - Cry of the Banshee]."

Ainz had used various skills to augment this spell, so its potency was greater than normal and harder to resist. Still, it was useless against Shalltear and the Einherjar construct.

Tick.

The clock face behind Ainz ticked, and its hands slowly moved as the spell took effect.

Ainz glanced at Shalltear in the distance as his health dwindled under the onslaught of the Einherjar, and at the same time, he felt quite disappointed.

„...So I can't finish this clearly, huh? Damn you, Peroroncino, did you build her specifically to counter me? To think you actually gave her a resurrection item! Dammit!"

„So. Momonga-san will use his trump card. I never actually saw him using it in a live situation. But after his long ramblings about it. It must be brokenly powerful. Just as I like the spells." Esdeath chuckled

Ainz frantically struggled to avoid the attacks of the Einherjar. After 12 seconds had passed, the hour hand had completed a full circuit, and it pointed to the heavens once more.

Then, Ainz's trump card took effect.

In that moment — the world died.

This was not metaphorical.

Everything died.

The Einherjar evaporated into a white mist as it couched its lance, and dispersed before Ainz's eyes. Even a homunculus with no concept of life died instantly. Shalltear's familiars shared the same fate, unable to resist the destruction which overtook them.

That was not all.

Even the air — which was not even alive, to begin with — fell into death. For over 100 meters in all directions, the air was no longer breathable. If any living creature tried to respire within that area, their lungs would be corrupted by the deadly air, and they would die.

Neither did the land escape the embrace of death. The terrain in a 100-meter radius was instantly transmuted into the sand.

Only Shalltear and Ainz could move in this world, where only death remained.

Esdeath yelled and threw her hands into the air „BEAUTIFULL!" however nor Shalltear nor Ainz could hear her because of the distance.

Ainz's trump card, [The Goal Of All Life Is Death] strengthened the effect of instant death magic and skills. Thus augmented, those instant-death effects could bypass any immunities or resistance and kill their targets after a certain amount of time had passed.

One could resist it by using a resurrection effect on themselves within 12 seconds, as Shalltear had.

The air and the land had also died because of that effect.

"What do you think, after experiencing the power that can slay even the unliving?"

The wind blew, dispersing the dead air between them. That wind carried his words to her.

"Incredible, I would expect nothing less of you, Ainz-sama. My household summons is dead to the last. However, your MP is almost depleted, while my health… is still at maximum."

In Shalltear's eyes, Ainz's MP was nearly zero. It was not completely gone, but he would probably only be able to use two or three more spells.

"I believe you only have two more 10th-tier spells in you? You had too much mana, so I can't really judge how many more spells you can cast."

"That's correct. I should only be able to cast two more spells, I believe?"

That was not a lie.

She had won.

"Truly magnificent. I had to deplete my MP and use up all my skills in order to drain your MP to that level, Ainz-sama. You are to be praised for lasting this long."

Shalltear tightened her grip on the Spuit Lance. Now, all that was left was to deliver the fatal blow in melee combat.

"You are correct. Thus, I shall humbly accept your praise."

Shalltear's forehead twitched.

She was very annoyed.

She was very annoyed at Ainz Ooal Gown's nonchalance. However, in the end, Shalltear managed to swallow her rising uneasiness.

"Any last words?'

"Well, hm… Since you felt that I was a disadvantage, that without my MP I would be nothing more than a mook… You came at me with everything you had. For that, I must thank you, Shalltear. If you had fought more carefully, things would not have gone so smoothly."

"...Wha?"

"The most crucial thing in PVP is to deceive one's enemy. For instance, pretending that you're vulnerable to holy-elemental attacks when you're largely immune to them after swapping out your gear. On the other hand, there's the fact that you're still weak against fire-elemental attacks. However… I seem to have miscalculated. I used [False Data: Life] because I thought you would use [Life Essence]. It would seem that was a waste. If there is a next time, do remember to check your opponent's health. That's the difference between the theory and practice of tactics."

„...Why isn't Ainz-sama backing off? As an arcane magic caster, he can't possibly beat me at this range. This must be a bluff!"

"My friend Peroroncino told me a great many things when he was making you. After I came to this world, I took the liberty of memorizing everyone's information. However, aside from my black history (Pandora's Actor), you are probably the NPC in Nazarick with whom I am the most familiar."

"Didn't you say… you didn't know my skills…"

Ainz smiled inwardly.

"I was lying, of course. Wasn't that obvious? I thought that perhaps if I said so, you would take the bait. That's because it would be quite hard to win if you saved your Impure Shockwave Shield to the last."

The flow of blood meant nothing to the undead, but Shalltear could feel hers draining from her face.

"Ahhhhhhh!"

Shalltear's lips parted and she wailed, the better to vent the emotions welling up inside her breast.

A clear, crisp sound rang forth.

Shalltear could not help but doubt her eyes.

This was impossible.

The Spuit Lance had bounced off some kind of white metal.

If it had been deflected by magic, Shalltear would have pressed the attack, because she knew Ainz did not have much MP left. That would simply have been his death throes. However, Shalltear froze as she beheld the scene before her.

That pure white radiance was not the work of magic.

—It was a suit of armor.

It was a set of pure white armor, with a huge sapphire set into the breastplate, which radiated a pure, holy light.

That suit of armor was on Ainz's body, and it had repelled the thrust of the Spuit Lance.

"From the start, I too was planning to end this battle in melee."

„So old bastard. You planned this all along. No wonder you are the guild master.„ Esdeath muttered under her nose then chuckled

"Gyaaaaah—!"

An unbelievable sight unfolded before Shalltear's eyes. The edge of the blade cleaved into Shalltear's chest from her shoulder, until it reached her un-beating heart.

Shalltear's crimson armor was dyed an even deeper shade of red. She scrambled back, looking at Ainz in shock.

Shalltear screamed the name of that blade as she coughed up blood.

"Takemikazuchi Mk 8!"

They feared the sight of this sword, named after and wielded by Warrior Takemikazuchi, one of the 41 Supreme Beings.

"Did I not say so, Shalltear? Ainz Ooal Gown is invincible."

"Shalltear, you should know this. Ainz Ooal Gown is the combined power of 41 people. You had no hope of victory from the start," Ainz calmly stated.

His words rang with absolute confidence and the utmost assurance.

Currently, their MP was 0, but Shalltear's HP was higher.

The man who had turned the tables advanced with even, steady steps.

"—Shalltear Bloodfallen, open your eyes and witness the might of the ruler of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, the one who gathered the Supreme Beings, and the man which you praise with your very own mouths."

Ainz stepped forward and delivered an overhand strike with the nodachi.

Shalltear leaped away, preparing to jump forward as she did. Her aim was to counterattack Ainz in the opening after he made his move.

No matter how strong one was, it was very difficult to stop a full-strength blow in the middle of a swing. This was especially true when one used a large and heavy weapon.

Even after becoming a level 100 warrior, he would not have been able to fully utilize a warrior's abilities, and they would have ended up wasted. Much like driving a car, one might have a license, but there was a world of difference between someone who only had a license on paper and one who was used to driving on the open roads. Both of them could operate a car, but their reactions to sudden changes in circumstances would be drastically different.

During this battle with Shalltear, Ainz felt that this experience was his most potent weapon.

„It'll be hard to avoid it."

That was what Shalltear calmly thought as she saw the tip of the sword coming at her, as fast as lightning. However, thrusts were a risky move. One could use the weaknesses of thrusting attacks to turn a dangerous situation into an opportunity.

„Then… it can't be helped."

Shalltear put her hand into the path of the thrust, having decided to sacrifice her left arm.

As the blade pierced her palm, Shalltear twisted her left hand, successfully diverting the thrust to one side.

It did not penetrate her chest, but the tip of the sword still drove through her left palm, into the muscle and bone, until it was deeply buried in her left arm. In addition, the electricity surrounding the nodachi coursed through Shalltear's body.

Though she was undead, the sensation of being savagely penetrated still filled Shalltear with something resembling terror, though she kept the corners of her mouth raised.

It was a smile — not one which an injured person would make, but neither was it a brave front. After all, that was what Shalltear had intended.

Shalltear tensed her left arm. The nodachi halted, pinned down by her muscles.

"You're open now!"

Now that his nodachi was tied up, Ainz had no way of defending against the Spuit Lance.

As Shalltear thrust the Spuit Lance at lightning speed, she once more beheld a startling sight.

Ainz let go of the divine class weapon in his hand

The magic item of the highest order — and then withdrew one of the several wooden sticks slotted at his waist.

"Hah?! Are you retarded?! How could a little stick like that block the Spuit Lance?! And then you actually let go of your divine-class weapon?! Isn't that a colossal mistake?!"

Shalltear thrust her lance. But suddenly.

"Eh?" Shalltear exclaimed in surprise.

The wooden stick was no longer in Ainz's hand, and in its place were two kodachis, which had deflected the Spuit Lance. One was as blindingly brilliant as the sun, while the other glowed with the pure, gentle light of the moon.

"You were saying something about being open, Shalltear?"

"Cheh! What, what's going on?"

Shalltear could not feel the weight of the weapon which had pierced her left arm. It had vanished, as though it could not exist in the same world as the new weapons which Ainz had prepared.

The attack at her neck was a feint; the kodachi nimbly altered its course and streaked at her shoulder.

Then, the other kodachi — the sunlit one — sliced into the gap in the Spuit Lance's defense and lightly pierced Shalltear's body.

"Aaaaaahhh!"

She wailed in pain.

Ainz moved the kodachi from side to side while it was still within her, as though to saw open the wound.

"Get away from me!"

The distance between Shalltear and Ainz was too narrow to use the Spuit Lance, so she kicked him. He blocked it with a kodachi, but he could not fully resist the kick and was flung back.

Ainz's hands had released the kodachis, and they had another small stick in them.

Then, as the stick fragmented, a huge, savage-looking gauntlet covered Ainz's hand. That gauntlet was so big that it nearly dragged on the ground from a standing position—

"Take this!"

—And as Ainz shouted, he punched her.

"Gugyaaah!"

Shalltear yelped pathetically as she was flung backward, as though struck by a gigantic fist. The hit did not do much damage, and the Spuit Lance could block physical attacks, but the knockback effect was enough to overcome the magic items protecting her.

She recovered her lost balance quickly thanks to her magic items, but a fire still burned inside her head.

"How, how dare you force such a pitiful sound out of me! I'll make sure you squeal like that before I tear you apart… huh?"

That flare of sunlight came from the bow Ainz had drawn. Its arrow of light was naturally targeted at Shalltear.

"No, no way, how could that be… Hou Yi's Bow?"

This weapon had been named after the hero who had shot down the sun while China was still a balkanized mass of smaller countries. It was also the main weapon of the Supreme Being who had created Shalltear.

„Dammit! I'm out of MP! If I had some, I could defend myself with a spell! I'm out of skills too! If I had known, I should have saved a few uses for… no!"

"Damn you! How did you obtain Peroroncino-sama's weapon? Was all this part of your plan? How did you prepare all these weapons? Where did you hide them? Was it a skill that activated after you broke those sticks?!"

What on earth was going on here?

"What sort of magician would I be if I told you the secret of my tricks?"

"A trick?! A trick couldn't have summoned Peroroncino-sama's weapon!"

"...Well, that's correct. Saying so is kind of disrespectful towards him. Simply put, I was using cash items. You should understand now, right? Everything you have done until now has been dancing in the palm of my hand."

A fully charged orb of light streaked out at Shalltear. She knew it was useless, but she tried to block it with the Spuit Lance anyway — and then her surroundings were enveloped by a blast of exploding brilliance.

Ainz withdrew from an another wooden stick from his belt and snapped it half. With that the bow what was before his right hand disappeared in its place a savage looking huge blood red axe appeared in his hand. The axe head looked like it was made from some kind of blood red crystal.

Shalltear launched her desperate attack.

Ainz white armor had high defensive power, but it could not possibly be unscathed by a hit from the Spuit Lance. All she could do was count on her weapon's life-absorbing properties as she abandoned all defense and focused on an all-out attack.

"The odds of victory are seven to three… I trust I need not say who is who?"

Every attack ate away at their health.

Shalltear's attacks restored her health, but the damage Ainz dealt with every hit was enough to negate the health that Shalltear regained.

Joy filled Shalltear's heart, as she felt that there was still a chance of victory. If they continued trading blows, that might just be the case.

"Ahahaha! Ainz-sama! It seems you'll run out of health first! The difference in our health will be what determines victory and defeat!"

"...Do you really think so?"

Shalltear realized her foolishness as she heard the voice of the schemer who had run her ragged and who had controlled the progress of all the events which had unfolded thus far.

"Time's up — Momonga-oniichan!"

It was a girl's voice.

She had never heard this voice before, which seemed to be that of a woman pretending to be a child. It reminded Shalltear of a female voice she had heard before. If that woman had pitched her voice differently, it would probably have sounded like this.

"Now, what do you think 'Time's up' refers to?"

"If everything thus far has gone as I have planned, that means, the time which has passed has also been within my calculations. Now, what do you think that watch meant when it told us that time was up?"

The axe in Ainz's hands vanished, becoming a pure white shield. With his matching white shield and armor, Ainz resembled a paladin of pure white.

The shield rang crisply as it deflected the Spuit Lance's attack.

"Do I even need to say it? The battle is over, and victory has been decided."

Why? Shalltear was still at 25% health. How has victory been decided, Shalltear wanted to scream, but she could not?

"...Super-tier magic cannot kill you in one hit when you're at full health. Then, all I need to do is reduce your health until it can do so. And it would seem our back and forth just now has heavily depleted your health."

"...Ahhh, ah, ahhhhhhhh—"

Shalltear desperately attacked, trying to shut her opponent up and block out the knowledge of her impending defeat.

Knowing that defeat was at hand, Shalltear continued her frenzied string of attacks. Though her features were distorted, her looks were not diminished.

In the face of that, Ainz made his final gambit.

Despite what he had told Shalltear, his plan had not gone as smoothly as he had intended.

To begin with, super-tier magic was like a skill and did not consume MP. However, it was still a form of magic, and he could not access it when transformed into a warrior.

Once he dispelled the warrior transformation magic, he would not be able to equip his armor and shield and they would fall off him. That would make it very difficult for him to resist Shalltear's attacks. If she decided to use a skill of some sort, he might not be able to secure a victory through HP damage with super-tier magic.

„Now!"

He blocked Shalltear's full-tilt attack with his friend's shield, and then he glared at her.

This was because a wave of guilt flooded through him; guilt at murdering an NPC which his friend had painstakingly created.

His hesitation was a fatal mistake.

Shalltear did not miss that opening. She noticed the item in Ainz's hand and thrust her Spuit Lance, enhanced with a skill. Her plan was to destroy Ainz's hand.

Having dispelled his warrior transformation, Ainz could not possibly avoid Shalltear's attack—

Shalltear felt something.

Just as the Spuit Lance was about to destroy the item, she felt something on her spine. That was clear hostility.

Someone hostile had appeared beside Shalltear, so obviously that she could not ignore it.

And then — she found that there was nobody there.

Ainz's spell had created a 200 meter-wide expanse of desert. Nobody else was there beside Shalltear and Ainz. The hostility she had felt just now was nowhere to be found, as though she had been daydreaming—

"Not good!" Shalltear exclaimed as she came to her senses, but by then it was already too late.

The hourglass shattered, reducing the casting time of the spell to zero.

"[Fallen Down]."

With those words, a brilliant flash erupted between them and swallowed up everything.

Shalltear could feel her body disintegrating in the incredible heat.

Her throat was dried up too — in fact, she did not know if her throat had also been incinerated — so it was difficult to speak. Still, there was one thing she had to say.

Then something unexpected happened. Instead of dying something strong gripped Shalltear and pulled her back from the throat of death. She felt her health and mana points are restored fully and all of her ability cooldowns has been recharged. She felt a strange power run through her. It was unlike any other thing she felt before. She felt wonderful. Stronger than ever. She felt she can even challenge Rubedo.

She felt as if she got a massive buff or she used some kind of dope. Her stats massively arise and a strange dirty purple aura started to radiate from her.

„Hahahahahaha." She laughed maniacally „Some voices telling me to destroy everything and everyone what I encounter. I don't know why, But I should listen to them."

„I-Impossible. Could that be Peroroncino-san gave her a second resurrection item? No…" Though Ainz

"That dirty purplish aura.."

Esdeath gritted her teeth. „The seed of corruption…"Ainz and Esdeath subconsciously said in unison.

„The most troublesome and rare resurrection item ever. It can resurrect an allied NPC. Restore its full health and resource and massively boost its stats it can be hidden into the NPC inventory, it can still activate itself and the activation rules can be configurable. It's power like you giving the already fast Peregrine Falcon a massive amount of dope to further increase its speed."

The peregrine falcon is the fastest aerial animal, fastest animal in flight, fastest bird, and the overall fastest member of the animal kingdom. Though it is not fast enough in horizontal level flight, its hunting dive, the stoop, it soars to a great height, then dives steeply at speeds of over 200 mph (320 km/h).

„However there is a huge drawback. The equipped NPC will could no longer make a difference between allies and enemies so it will attack everyone in the sight after the item activated."

„Damn Peroroncin-san. Why do you have to cause us so much trouble in this dire time? However. Shalltear will be a good testing dummy for my skills."Kukukuku.. She grinned madly

Shalltear prepared herself then she launched her attack. „Now you will die Ainz-samaaaa…"

Momonga flinched back. Then all of his life repellent before his eyes„ I am sorry Esdeath-san. It seems you have to rule Nazarick alone. Still, it was fun till it lasted don't it? Hehe…"

Momonga has no more mana points to defend himself. He used all of the items what he prepared. And considering Shalltear current power level and Momonga HP. She will kill Momonga with her next strike.

Shalltear thrust her Spuit lance towards Ainz. There was no way to Ainz to evade the attack. Nor any spell or ability what he could use. He is lost. He will die. His adventure will end here. This thought went throughAinz mind in mere milliseconds. Then suddenly…

Scene Change: Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick. Floor Guardian Meeting Room:

Everyone besides Zero Rei is panicked.

Albedo eyes widened then she curled up and started to cry and muttering things historically.

Cocytus only exhaled a great amount of his chillingly cold breath. „How. Could. This. Be? Ainz-sama. Is. Lost.

Demiurge gasped then turned towards Albedo. With a great amount of anger and frustration on his face and his eyes what resembled perfectly cut diamonds.

„It is your fault Guardian Overseer. From in this moment, I demote you from your Guardian Overseer position. Cocytus restrain her and escort her back into her room. From this moment on. She will be on house arrest until things settled. I will go out with my subordinates I can't let the another Supreme Beings to fallen."

Albedo only cried and muttered.

„No… It can't be! He promised me to come back. He promised… He promised!" She yelled with a trembling voice

She stood up slowly and a vile aura surrounded her. Albedo turned to Zero Rei. A chill ran through Cocytus and Demiurge spine. This happened due Albedo sudden expression change, the murderous killing intent what she emitted and because of she activated her [Demoralizing Aura] „You…" „She equipped her world item. „Your despicable creator is the cause of this! If she intervened in time. If she would fight instead of Ainz-sama. If she was there instead of my beloved Ainz-sama! She could have saved him. You and your master will die in the most gruesome way I promise this to you!" she yelled.

Zero Rei expression did not change he just sipped his tea with a bored and calm expression.

„And you dare to act like this! You dare to keep up your smug expression?! You and your master are the cause why my beloved one died! My only true love Ainz-sama!

Albedo raised her world item Ginnungagap. A world item what can be used to destroy large areas.

„Cocytus restrain her!" Yelled Demiurge

Cocytus moved but Zero Rei raised his hand. Signaling him to it is not necessary.

„If I were you I would not do that Albedo-san."

Albedo stopped suddenly. Unspeakable anger and desperation just radiated from her face.

"And why is that despicable machine? You are scared because of your own or your despicable master life? Tell me a good reason why I don't just use Ginnungagap on you and your master?"

„Add one. We have the numerical superiority. Even if you defeat me. Cocytus-san and Demiurge-san will not just stand here and let you do as you please and attack the last Supreme One and the other denizens of Nazarick"

Albedo looked to Demiurge and Cocytus whom just nodded. Signaling they are agreeing with Zero Rei.

„Add two. The battle is not over yet. If you were looked to the [Crystal Monitor] instead of panicking you could see it with your own eyes. Or you did you not inspected the battle between that meat bag Shalltear and Ainz-sama?" He pointed to the mirror what they used to inspect the battlefield from afar.

„So. Please sit down and calm yourself. Ainz-sama was never in any danger. Did he say that yourself or not? Everything dancing according to the wave of his palms. That means he planned this all along."

Demiurge, Albedo, and Cocytus composed themselves and sat down. Then they turned their attention back to the crystal monitor. Their eyes widened.

Demiurge turned to Cocytus. „Cocytus what are the odds to Esdeath-sama defeat Shalltear in her current state?"

„When. We . Trained. Together. She. Could. Easily. Keep. Up With. Me. She. Does. Not. Even. Break. A. Sweat. I. Say. That. She. Could. Even. Defeat. Rubedo. Without. Going. All. Out. But. In. The. Current. Situation. I. Don't. Know. There. Is. Too. Much. Unknown. Factor. In. The. Battle. But. I. Think. Esdeath-Sama. Will. Win."

Demiurge turned back to the crystal monitor with a pensive look on his face. „Let's hope you are right."

Scene Change: Unknow location near the battle site

Esdeath stood up from her sitting position. „Then time has come. There is no enemy in the surrounding and if it is I could not possibly let them go away without a good show can I?"

„[Activate Remote Combination Magic: Greater Spatial Tether][Greater Intervene]" with that she vanished from the spot where she stood until that.

---

Scene Change: Clearing near the forest: Battle site:

Shalltear prepared herself then she launched her attack. „Now you will die Ainz-samaaaa…"

Momonga flinched back. Then all of his life repellent before his eyes

Shalltear thrust her Spuit lance towards Ainz. There was no way to Ainz to evade the attack. Nor any spell or ability what he could use. He is lost. He will die. His adventure will end here. This thought went through Ainz mind in mere milliseconds. Then suddenly Esdeath appeared before him.

She took the full force blow from Shalltear weapon for her stomach.

She gritted her teeth because of the sudden pain. In vain she had her [Vector Shield] and numerous passive defensive abilities. Shalltear strength was enchanted by the [Seed of Corruption] resurrection item. And Shalltear had the divine level Spuit Lance with her.

However, after the strike Shalltear got back half of the damage and she wanted to jump back. However, Esdeath grabbed Shalltear Spuit lance with her bare hand and she does not let it go.

She looked Shalltear with an angry and disappointed look.

The damage reflection happened due Esdeath passive [Vector Shield]. What no matter the weapon or ability strength. It is reflecting back to the attacker minimum 30% of the damage what they cause to her. Except raid bosses. Whose got back a lesser amount of damage depending on the boss.

After a few seconds struggle, Shalltear managed to free her weapon but before she could jump back Esdeath punched her chest with a great amount force. Due to the great force behind the strike, Shalltear flew back around 15m.

„Esdeath-san? How?"

„Momonga-san. It is good to see you still alive. And how do I managed to reach you before Shalltear could strike you down? Well. You remember when I patted your back before the battle?"

Ainz nodded with a confused expression. However, you could not see this because of his fleshless head.

„Well. When I patted your back I placed you a [Greater Spatial Tether] what I combined with [Greater Intervene] and added to the spell a remote function. So I could immediately Intervene the strike what could kill you.

"You could do that how? Thre was no such thing in the game."

"Well. I experimented with my spells and managed to come out with a few new innovation. I will later teach them to you. However, I must ask you, Mare and Aura to retreat back to Nazarick."

„Esdeath-san. We can't let you fight alone! At least let Mare and Aura remain here to inspect the battle."

„Ainz-san. Retreat back. Or I will make you retreat." she said with a calm tone. A chill ran through Ainz spine.

Esdeath turned her face to Ainz and started her monolog with a happy tone while she pointed her index finger upward.

„If you not retreat. After I finished with this. I will make you wear a prom dress instead of me."

Ainz suddenly imagined how ridiculous he would look like and a shiver ran through his spine.

„As you wish. But Aura and Mare will stay. I insist."

„Hmm. Wery well. I can afford this much. But do not let them to interfering with our battle."

Ainz nodded

With that, he teleported back to the place where Aura and Mare waited for him. He requested a [Gate] from Nigredo and retreated back to Nazarick.

„Well. Here we are Shalltear-san. I hope you are prepared for a good dance."

On Shalltear face appeared a vicious grin and madness radiated from her eyes. „Hahaha. To think about you could tank head on one of my strongest melee attacks and came out of it unscattered Esdeath-sama. You are really worthy the title Enforcer of Nazarick. But against my newfound power, you can't stand a chance!" Shalltear felt a strangely pleasant feeling her stomach lover part. She licked her lips. She looked like a hungry predator who is inspecting her prey

„I mop the floor with you. Then I will be using your body as a sex toy to my own desires Esdeath-sama!"

„We will see Shalltear-san. We will see. But before that." She raised, stretched her hands and changed her finger positions to pitchfork position.

[Combine Magic][Widen Magic: Maximize Magic: Greater Spatial-Temporal Lock Dome][Maximize Magic: Greater Reality Warp]

With that, a big almost invisible dome appeared seemingly from the nothingness. You could only see it was there because the time and space distortions what it caused around the battlefield.

[Maximize Magic: Greater Spatial-Temporal Lock Dome] It was a tenth tier spell. It prevented everyone except the user to leave the area without the caster authority who cast the spell. The only way to leave it if either you used a World Item, attacked the dome with a massive amount of time space abilities or spells, or used a targeted Super Tier magic on the [Greater Spatial-Temporal Lock Dome ]. The user death will not terminate the spell. In YGGDRADASIL it remained on the spot maximum one hour. The area what locked with this method existed outside the time and space. However, it was very costly. But Esdeath could allow herself this much because she accelerated passive resource regeneration.

[Maximize Magic: Greater Reality Warp] The 10th tier spell effect was very variable and mostly dependent on the user job classes and races and the spell what was used beside it.

In its current use. The [Greater Reality Warp] modified the [Maximize Magic: Greater Spatial-Temporal Lock Dome] spell to instead of preventing the attacker to simply leave the dome. It teleports them back to a location selected by the caster. Esdeath imbued the spell to teleport everything except her in the front of her to a position while they showing their back to her.

„What have you done!?" Shalltear yelled angrily.

„You don't know? But it is quite easy if you think about it. I just make you impossible to escape for an unknown amount of time."

She unsheathed her Ultra Greatsword and held before her in a horizontal position.

„So shall we start our dance?"

Shalltear picked up her battle stance. „I must inspect how many life she had."

[Life Essence]

„She less HP-than me currently. But just because the resurrection item what Peroronico-sama gave me buffed my stats. And she already regenerated the damage what I caused to her with her passive regeneration. While I standing here with a small amount of missing HP."

„So. Shalltear-san. Do you want to start ? Or you let me make my first step in our dance."

Shalltear prepared herself and prepared her [Purifiyng Javelin] and threw to Esdeath direction. Esdeath let the javelin reach her. Shalltear anticipated the javelin could make a minuscule damage to her but she wanted to test Esdeath resistances.

Instead of the shriek what Shalltear expected from Esdeath. An unexpected thing happened. The javelin of pure light is completely absorbed by Esdeath and a Halo of holy light appeared on the top of her head.

Shalltear gritted her teeth then used an another spell [True Dark] the sphere of pure darkness hit Esdeath as the other attack before. But as before. She only absorbed it. The halo on her head changed. Instead of radiating holy energy. It radiated both darkness and light at the same time.

Shalltear used [Life Essence] again and a dreaded expression set on her face. She boosted Esdeath stats by her own attacks.

„Thank you for the appetizing starter Shalltear-san. If you have anything else shoot."

Shalltear gritted her teeth because of her frustration. She was mainly faith based caster. If she only makes Esdeath stronger by her attacks. There is no point to attacking her with this kind of attacks.

"It can't be. She can't be resistant all of the elements!"

The only things remained her to use is her melee attacks and her undead racial abilities and her minuscule amount of elemental spells what she knew.

„Nothing? Then here I come!"

Esdeath disappeared from her sight, Then she heard Esdeath sound from behind her back. „You should always watch your back Shalltear-san." with that Esdeath swung her weapon.

Shalltear had barely had time to block the strike and the sudden force what Esdeath swung caused. Make her fly aback because of the brute force what Esdeath put into the strike. A gust of wind flew around them. Shalltear blood arment started to crack under the force what weighed on them. Still, the strike strength was less than the 50% of Esdeath base form full power.

„What's the matter Smalltear-san? I am not even warmed up. Show me why are you the strongest floor guardian."

„I have no other choice I had to overwhelm her by spells from the other element. She can't be resistant all of the element. Can't she? This is my only chance! But I can't use a holy or dark element on her. That could only make her stronger." she gritted her teeth

[Vermilion Nova][Implosion][Greater Lethal][Magic Destruction][Negative Force Javelin][Greter Force Explosion][Negative Force Javelin]...! Shalltear yelled while she cast her massive number of spells.

Esdeath quickly countered the massive number of spells with her anti-magic barrier [Combine Magic] [Greater Anti-Magic Zone] [Maxisimize Magic: Greater Mass Devour Magic]

A force field appeared around Esdeath and started to convert the spells what Shalltear threw into Esdeath into pure energy what Esdeath could use.

A massive gust of dust bounced up from the dead ground when they collided with Esdeath barrier.

After that. Shalltear magic and Esdeath barrier collided. The two opposing forces struggled to each other for a while. In the end, Esdeath barrier managed to synchronize itself with Shalltear magic and started to convert every magic particle to an usable form to Esdeath. Then the barrier transferred to Esdeath all of the raw resources what it converted. With it, she buffed herself further. Restoring her missing health and resource points.

After the dust settled Shalltear eyes widened. Esdeath barrier was still up. It weakened a little but it still stood vigilantly. Inside her barrier, Esdeath smirked madly. She only grew two wings on her back. A pair of horns on her head and a long tail of pure Aether energy. This happened because of the plus energy what she gathered from Shalltear attacks. Esdeath started to radiate an aura of pure aether energy.

„It seems your MP has been massively decreased Shalltear-san. Any more tricks on your sleeve?"

Shalltear gritted her teeth. „It seems I have to fight with you in melee range Esdeath-sama. It cannot be helped." she curled her mouth into a sadistic smile.

„[Summon Monster 10th Rank] [Einherjar],

With that, her perfect pure white copy appeared on her right side. On her left side, there was a monster what constructed entirely from pure darkness. Two evil red eyes looked Esdeath menacingly. It was a creature of pure darkness a [Greater Void Terror]. The creature could do high magical and physical attack damage and only magically enchanted weapons and magic based attacks can hurt it. It was a creature of the void so it does not count nor holy nor dark.

„Charge!" Shalltear commanded her minions and they started their charge with and explosive speed.

After them, Shalltear too started her explosively fast advancement.

[Greater Teleportation] Shalltear used her ability to teleport behind Esdeath but Esdeath blocked it with her Ultra Greatsword.

She looked to Shalltear. „What is this supposed to be? Oh, I see!" Esdeath smiled

Esdeath smiling form blinked for a moment before Shalltear eyes.

First Shalltear does not understand what happened then Shalltear started smirk to her madly because her minions already were in an attacking range. The two minions and Shalltear struck strike after strike.

But instead of a yelp what Shalltear wanted to hear. She only received an explosion on her and her minions face.

This happened due before Shalltear and her minions could strike Esdeath. She activated silently her ability [Greater Explosive Reflection Dummy] what teleported her away from the way of the attack and replaced her with an explosive copy of her what has only had a minimal amount of HP. But when it reached zero health it is self-destroyed itself. Greatly damaging the enemies what was in its blast radius.

It is managed to destroy Shalltear tenth tier summon and bruise greatly Shalltear and Einherjar.

Their Armor has been cracked in a few places and Shalltear started to bleed from her mouth.

„Well. Well, Shalltear–san. You should watch what are you hitting. You might end killing yourself."

Shalltear Gritted her teeth because of her anger. „[Negative Force Wave]"

Answering this Esdeath swung her Ultra Greatsword into the air [Positive Force Wave]

When the two force collided they nullified each other.

But this was only a decoy to the attacking Einherjar. Shalltear commanded Einherjar to attack and remain behind the [Negative Force Wave] to conceal her advancement. Then attack Esdeath after Esdeath nullified her attack.

Esdeath and Einherjar weapons collided. Esdeath has the upper hand in the vicious spar and it seemed Einherjar is going to lose. But it was just a decoy to Shalltear. While Esdeath fought Einherjar she summoned her household and started to heal herself with her Spuit Lance.

Esdeath glanced to Shalltear then her mouth curled into a vicious smile„Kukuku. Very clever and foolish at once. Using the same tactic twice. Simply boring."

„Then it is time to start the new level of the game."

[Maximize Ability Vector Prison] With that Einherjar frozen in her place. She struggled to break out her prison but she was unable to broke free.

The vector prison was an accelerator job class ability. It made the target unable to move for a short period of time. And if the enemy wanted to force its way out. The force added to the prison integrity. When the prison timer reached zero. The prison suddenly sunk inward greatly damaging the prison inhabitant. The damage dependent on how much damage the prison picked up from its inhabitant.

Einherjar was only just a golem so she should not know about this. So she attacked the prison with her full strength.

In the end, she put so much force into the prison that instantly vaporized her when its timer expired.

„Shalltear."

For a moment Shalltear stopped and looked to Esdeath. „Yes, Esdeath-sama. You want to give up?"

„Shalltear. Nasty girls like you. Need a good spanking. "

Esdeath banished her Ultra Greatsword back to her inventory then equipped her black katana what hung on her waist.

The katana was an exquisite art of blacksmithing. Black, white and red lighting danced around its blade.

"You know Shalltear. The enemies whose I fought before you were the testament of pure rage, brutal, without mercy. But I. I am worse. I Rip and tear until it is done."

Esdeath took a new posture.

A feel of dread ran through Shalltear bones.

"Is this fear? Is this fear what I feel? I am undead how could be possible I feel fear?"

Gonna cut you down

[Sword Art: Dark Slayer Style] Esdeath changed her posture.

This sword style used instant short range teleportation with a minimal cost and fast strikes to get close to the enemy. With a lot of dodging and evasive movement. The teleportation cooldown was minimal so it can be used frequently.

With that, she rocketed into Shalltear direction with hypersonic speed. A big crater remained where she stood.

Before she reached Shalltear she used her short range teleportation to teleport behind Shalltear.

With a fast uppercut, she swung her sword against Shalltear back. A deep cut left its mark on the vampire geisha back.

Shalltear struck back but it was in vain because Esdeath used [Greater Evasion] to evade Shallthear sudden thrust. Then she teleported behind Shalltear again. But now Shalltear expected this and although just barely blocked Esdeath strike.

The vicious encounters of their weapons took a whole minute.

Shalltear gritted her teeth because she struck Esdeath only a few times. While Esdeath gave her a numerous blow.

Esdeath proficient strikes not only came from her Sword Saint job class. But her frequent spars with Cocytus. The spars with Cocytus brought her not only better physical condition but invaluable experience too.

Each of their strikes contained enough power to destroy countless buildings. They were relentless they were faster than light. Mere human eyes can no longer follow their fast movement anymore. The only things what you could sense from their vicious battle are their after images what's disappeared not long after they appeared, the craters what their meeting weapons caused, the mini hurricanes what their weapons swung created and the unimaginable killing intent what radiated from their direction.

Shalltear could barely react because of Esdeath fast movements and swift strikes.

Suddenly they locked their weapons and looked into each other eyes.

Esdeath grinned to Shalltear. They pressed their weapons so hard the weapons started heating up until that point where Esdeath blade and Shalltear Spuit Lance started to glow in a white light because the unimaginable pressure what the two side expound to their weapon.

„Well. Shalltear. Answer me a question."

„What question Esdeath-sama? Do you want to give up? Do you want to be my personal sex toy? In that case, I can forgive you and we can start the action right here right now."

„No. Not that. But that. Is an object with all of its parts replaced still the same object?"

„What?" Shalltear looked pensive and frozen in a moment

„What kind of question is this?" thought Shalltear

Taking advantage of this Esdeath sheathed her sword with a very fast movement.

Then she pulled the trigger what was on the side of her sword sheath. [Reality Destroyer: Slash] Esdeath used her ability.

The sword shot from the sheath with an unimaginable speed and force what mortal man can not possibly follow. Esdeath grabbed the sword in the middle of the air used the still flying weapon force what she strengthened with her own power and cut off Shalltear weapon holding arm. After the strike, the reality behind Shalltear seemed to distort and started to slip downward.

The force was so strong behind the strike and the blade was so fast. It ignited the air around it completely cauterizing Shalltear new wound and destroying Shalltear arm completely.

Shalltear noticed it too late and her arm was no more. She swiftly backed off without her weapon.

Shalltear knew. She lost. She was almost out of mana. She almost used all of her abilities and what she could use against Esdeath. The remaining abilities of her were completely useless against Esdeath. She retreated back with a fast jump.

„Why Esdeath-sama…just why…?" she said with a flabbergasted and trembling tone. While small tears started to flow from her eyes.

„I am sorry Shalltear. I did not want to fight against you. I did not want to end like this. You are my friend creation. We consider all of you like our friend children. The only things what they left us to remember them until either they return or we will be no more. Believe me. It is more painful to me than you. Please forgive me."

„Why... Just why do you serve Ainz-sama who is a lot weaker than you? Why are you subject yourself his will? You could easily overthrow him and rule alone. Then why?! Tell me why do you endure his rule over you? Why don't you just leave him?" she yelled in a desperate tone

Esdeath looked pensive for a moment. Then she looked Shalltear with a very disappointed and sad look.

„As Peroroncino-san creation I thought you know this well enough. But if you don't know. Well. I will tell you. I never bowed Ainz-san. Because I bow to no one. Not to kings not to rulers, not even the gods. I just think about Ainz-san suggestion and fulfill his requests if I see fit of course. I correct him when he is wrong and he corrects me when I am wrong. As a good friend always intended to do."

„Good friend…?" Shalltear looked before her with a pensive look.

„And Answering your last question why I don't abandon him? Shalltear do you ever heard the law of the jungle?"

„No..." She looked dumbfounded before her

„Now this is the Law of the Jungle, as old and as true as the sky. The wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die."

„As the creeper that girdles the tree trunk, the law runneth forward and back;"

„For the strength of the pack is the wolf,"

"And the strength of the wolf..."

Esdeath stretched her open hand forward.

A chill ran through Shalltear spine. And a panicked look settled on her face.

„Is the pack."

„I bored of this pointless game Shalltear. I will end this now. I am really sorry for the way things ended like this "[Silent Cast: Greater Speed Acceleration] [Silent Cast: Greater Draconic Strength] [Silent Cast: Greater Striking Force]with that she sheathed her sword and rocketed in Shalltear direction with a speed beyond of the speed of the light. A big sound explosion followed her movement after a few moments of her disappearance.

She suddenly reappeared before Shalltear. Before Shalltear could even react. With a strong punch from Esdeath left hand what directed from the bottom to upward, she punched Shalltear with her clenched fist. Esdeath fist collided with Shalltear jaw. She cast [Silent Cast: Vector Tag] on Shalltear. Shalltear jaw is broken and the bones in it are shattered to pieces.

Esdeath sent Shalltear flying with her powerful punch.

Insert Music: Dark Souls III Soundtrack OST - Father Ariandel and Sister Friede (Ashes of Ariandel)

Esdeath slowly raised her hand while she looked the ground.

[Supercharge Magic: Vector Prison] Shalltear suddenly froze in the air because of Esdeath spell.

[Combine Magic][Hold Magic: Supercharge Magic: Chibaku Tensei(planetary devastation)][Enchant Magic: Greater Destruction Force]

Multiple huge planetoids appeared suddenly around the frozen Shalltear.

The planetoids had their own gravitation fields. So they started to pull to themselves every movable object what their gravitation field could move.

Gravitation storms were formed because the planetoids gravitation fields overlapped each other.

[Vector Tag: Activate] the huge planetoids started to approach Shalltear at an accelerated rate.

The gravitation storms started to become more violent with each moment as the planetoids started to approach each other with an accelerated rate.

„No… I can not end like this! It can't be." Shalltear panicked

The planetoids started to crush Shalltear with a great force.

„Let's accelerate the process." [Greater Compresison]

The multiple planetoids now compressed into one and started to shrink with each moment. Imprisoning Shalltear into its core. Its density and weight elated. It does not take much time until its density elevated to much it started to bend time and space around itself and black and white force lighting started to dance in its surface occasionally striking the ground below it.

„Now the final piece.„

She raised her arms into the air. [Hold Magic: Maximize Magic:Anti-Reality Bomb] An orb of pure energy what radius was two times bigger than Esdeath appeared over her head. The orb prismatic colors danced around inside the orb and different colored lighting danced around its surface.

[Anti Reality Bomb: Charge] The orb in Esdeath hand started to grow in accelerated rate until its radius reached to the 30m.

[Anti Reality Bomb: Release] with that she threw her Anti-Reality Bomb towards the Chibaku Tensei.

She stretched her hand forward then snapped her fingers. [Chibaku Tensei:Shatter] With that the planetoid shattered with a big explosion. The energy of the explosion pushed against the walls of the Space-Time dome what previously Esdeath established. The dome weakened a little and small cracks appeared in it.

Shalltear broken body started to fall into the ground towards the Anti-Reality Bomb what speeding towards her.

Her mouth curled into a weak smile. She was almost unconscious. „All hail Ainz Ooal Gown. The Supreme beings truly the strongest." however this quote of her was barely recognizable due to her broken jaw and the distance between her and Esdeath.

The reality bomb consumed her body and disintegrated it completely. Then it detonated itself. The space-time field what Esdeath established just held as far until the energy of the explosion abated.

Below the explosion the sand started to melt and crystallize because of the unimaginable heat and pressure what the explosion caused.

Then the space-time dome immediately shattered to pieces and disintegrated.

Esdeath withdrew an energy drink from her pocket dimension then gulped one sip.

"Energy drink. Gives you the power to destroy the reality."

Then Esdeath looked at the direction of her little firework with a sad face. „Huh. Troublesome. At least it was a good exercise."

With this, she turned back and started to walk away while one of her hands were in her pocket with the other she held her energy drink.

"Huh."she sighed"I feel myself a little strained." " I would not have had to use such expensive abilities and spells. But my resource pool is still around 40% and it recovering quickly. Thanks to my passive accelerated health and resource regeneration."

Scene Change: Unknow Location: With Mare and Aura:

Aura dispelled her skill [Sky Eye], and her puckered pink lips returned to their original shape. There was a look of annoyance on her face as she began scolding someone who was not there.

"You dummy… how could you let yourself get mind-controlled, even though you were undead? That's just so stupid of you."

"What, what's wrong, onee-chan?"

"Hm? Nothing."

Mare looked where Aura had been looking, but since he was deep in the forest, all he could see in any direction was trees. Still, he could tell what Aura was looking at from the way she was facing.

She should have been observing the battle between Shalltear and the Supreme Beings.

His big sister Aura could use a ranger skill to expand her field of vision to about two kilometers. This was why he and his sister were standing watch over the surroundings with the help of the Eyeball Corpses.

"Th-then, has the battle been decided?"

"Mm. the Supreme Beings won, hands down."

"That, that's what I thought too. Esdeath-sama was scary."

Aura nodded.

The form of Ainz-sama and Esdeath-sama — the beings that not even the strongest Guardian could defeat — appeared in Mare's mind. It was a sensible conclusion; how could the one who led the Supreme Beings and his enforcer be defeated?

"Then, onee-chan should-should we go collect Shalltear's equipment?"

Aura considered what she had seen before terminating her skill.

"Esdeath-sama should have recovered it all. We'll fall back as instructed."

"Mm."

Mare knew his sister was in a bad mood, so he said nothing else, but obediently acknowledged her commands.

Aura's best friend had been mind-controlled and made to point her glance at the beloved master to whom they had all sworn their loyalty. While her execution was the expected outcome of such a course of action, she still felt upset about it.

Scene Change: Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick: Throne Room 10th floor:

Everyone gathered in the throne room.

Momonga opened the name list in the Throne Room, and as expected, space which should have contained Shalltear's name was blank. This verified that Shalltear was dead, and so phase one of the plans was concluded.

In his heart, Ainz apologized to Shalltear. Then he gulped, and turned to the gathered Guardians.

"Then, the next step will be to resurrect Shalltear. Albedo, Esdeath-san pay attention to Shalltear's name. If she remains mind-controlled as before..."

„No problem boss." Esdeath showed a thumb up to Momonga

"Ainz-sama, though I may overstep myself, I propose that you should allow us to deal with it ourselves."

Cocytus and Aura immediately agreed with Demiurge's words, while Mare despondently agreed as well. Only Albedo remained unmoved.

"Demiurge…"

Demiurge's passionate words interrupted Ainz's mumbling.

"We are fully aware that your orders are to be respected above all else, Ainz-sama. We will grind ourselves to dust in order to obey them. However, as your loyal servants, we cannot allow the Supreme Beings to be placed into danger once more, Ainz-sama."

Demiurge's gaze shifted from Ainz to Albedo.

"If Shalltear betrays you once more, then we shall eliminate her as your Guardians. We pray that you will watch us do so, Ainz-sama, Esdeath-sama."

Now that he understood the Guardians' intentions, Ainz could not offer any further resistance.

"I understand. Guardians, if Shalltear betrays us once more, you may deal with her as you see fit."

The Guardians nodded in acknowledgment.

"Ainz-sama,Esdeath-sama all you need to do is stand aside and watch. To whom should we pledge our loyalty if the two final Supreme Beings vanishes? Though we will not have been abandoned, we will still be lonely if all the Supreme Beings are gone."

"Protect us, Guardians. It begins now!"

Their spirited replies washed over Ainz as he grabbed the Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown that floated in the air beside him, and turned it toward a corner of the Throne Room.

There was a mountain of gold coins there, about 500 million of them. That was the sum needed to recall Shalltear to life.

Normally, they would have needed to use the keyboard to perform the necessary operations, but he now knew that it was no longer necessary.

The mountain of gold changed shape, from a solid to a liquid.

Watched by the Guardians, the molten gold formed a river, which flowed to the same place. Ten thousand tons of gold compacted and shrank, taking a humanoid shape that finally resolved itself into the form of a golden puppet, and its golden glow slowly weakened.

Soon, the golden glow had vanished completely, leaving white, waxy skin and platinum blonde hair. There was no doubt that the person before him was Shalltear Bloodfallen.

Esdeath was in full readiness because maybe Shalltear was in still under the mind control. However, you could not see this because of her relaxed posture.

"Albedo!"

"Please be at ease. It seems the mind control has been terminated."

"Is that so…"

Ainz unconsciously touched his chest in response to the powerful sense of relief flooding him. The gesture calmed his spirit.

Shalltear eyes were tightly shut, and her chest was not moving. She lay quietly on the ground, like a corpse. Still, the undead were essentially animated corpses, so that was hardly unusual.

The chest he had just seen was so flat that it hardly seemed to belong to a girl, but to a boy. Not knowing where to put his eyes, Ainz's gaze left her chest and looked elsewhere.

The freshly resurrected Shalltear was naked (of course), so he had no idea where he should be looking. Ainz was so panicked that he forgot that all he had to do was look elsewhere.

Shalltear's body was carelessly displayed, and her thighs were slightly parted

Esdeath hurriedly threw her long coat what hung lazily on her shoulder over Shalltear

The long coat spread in mid-air, settling perfectly on Shalltear and covering her entire body.

Ainz deliberately ignored the female voice behind him saying, "If you are interested, I have no objection to displaying myself for your viewing pleasure."

Shalltear's crimson eyes opened, as though sensing the presence of someone nearby. She blinked sleepily and looked around, finally resting her gaze on Ainz.

"Ainz-sama? Esdeath-sama?"

„Good morning kid," said Esdeath while she crouched above Shalltear

Shalltear sounded like she was groggy from having just woken up. However, Ainz and Esdeath could hear the loyalty in her voice.

It was hard to believe that such a slender body possessed such startling physical abilities.

„Good morning Esdeath-sama, Ainz-sama."She rubbed her eyes then looked around „What did I miss?"

"...Ainz-sama, Esdeath-sama I believe Shalltear is tired, so we should leave her be for now."

"Indeed."

Perhaps there was a penalty for resurrecting NPCs, just as there was for players. After all, this was the first resurrection ever since coming to this world.

"Tell me the details later. Before that, I have some questions."

"Yes, do ask me whatever you desire… right, Ainz-sama, why am I in the Throne Room? Then, there's the matter of my body, and you and Esdeath-sama treatment of me, Ainz-sama. Have I caused any trouble?"

"I was about to ask you that. Do you remember anything that happened?"

"Ah, yes."

"...Sorry. Shalltear, tell me the last thing you remember."

Shalltear's most recent memory was five days ago. She had no impression of what had happened after that, until now.

Ainz gently asked Shalltear:

"Are there any other problems with your body?"

"I don't think there's anything."

"Is that so."

After Shalltear answered, a look of shock came over her face. Not knowing what was wrong, Ainz felt uneasiness welling up inside him.

"Ainz-sama!"

"What happened?! What's wrong?"

"My chest is gone."

The faces of the Guardians twisted as they heard this, with expressions of "We want our concern back" written all over them. Even Demiurge had his teeth bared.

Esdeath facepalmed.

"Don't you know what you did? How could you say something like that?!"

As Albedo delivered a rebuke on everyone's behalf, Shalltear's shoulders trembled in fright.

Shalltear had already begun tearing up under Albedo's one-sided torrent of abuse.

As Ainz and Esdeath watched the scene before them, they recalled a scene from the past.

A profound sense of loneliness filled their heart.

„They really resemble them don't they?"

Ainz only nodded.

Albedo turned to the two last Supreme Beings.

"Ainz-sama, please reprimand Shalltear sternly."

"That's right! Please give this dummy a good scolding!"

"Indeed. She. Needs. A. Stern. Lesson."

"You'll remember Ainz-sama's words of wisdom, won't you?"

"Al-although, maybe it would be better not to be too strict... er, erm…"

"—Ha, hahaha." Esdeath and Ainz laughed wholeheartedly in unison

"I have told Albedo before, but the fault for this does not lie with you, Shalltear. It is I — who possessed all this information but did not consider the possibility of this happening — who most deserves to be rebuked for this. Shalltear, you did nothing wrong. Remember that."

"Thank, thank you, Ainz-sama!"

"Demiurge, you will be in charge of explaining what happened to Shalltear. Can you do that?"

Demiurge bowed to show that he understood.

"Ah, then there's the matter of Sebas—"

"He will be bait."

Scene Change: E-Rantel: Adventurers Guild a month later:

Perote, the leader of the mithril-ranked adventurer team "Tenrou", opened the doors to the Adventurer's Guild.

The adventurers there looked at him with admiring eyes.

Perote was used to this sort of thing. However, the reception seemed more subdued that it had been a month ago.

„Well, it can't be helped."

He turned his eyes to the noticeboard. Regretfully, there were almost no mithril-ranked requests.

Granted, jobs which only mithril-ranked adventurers could do were quite rare. However, the reason for this dearth of requests was not because there were few of them, to begin with, but because there was an adventurer who could swiftly tackle requests of mithril rank and up.

"...Raidyn-san, huh."

Perote sounded like he was complaining when he said that name.

About a month ago, that woman had slain a powerful Vampire.

He had not personally witnessed that intense battle, but one could imagine what had happened after seeing the remains of that battlefield. Thus, he had not been surprised to learn that Kralgra — an adventurer team of the same rank as Perote's own — had been annihilated in the crossfire.

No, anyone who joined that battle would have been killed for certain.

The exploding power what Raidyn black katana contained had scorched the land black, and it had even reduced some places to a desert. The startling thing was that it had to be done to defeat that Vampire. And then—

"—She survived…"

Not only had she survived, but she had seized victory. It was only natural for Perote to consider the woman— who had returned safely from a battle with a Vampire, a monster that Perote himself could not defeat — to be even greater monsters.

The change in his tone from just now was because Raidyn was powerful enough to compel respect from him.

Just as he was fantasizing about that sort of absolute might, he heard the sound of the door opening. A wave of commotion swept through the guild like a gust of wind.

Perote vaguely understood the reason for that disturbance and turned his eyes in the same reaction as everyone was looking. There, he saw the person he had been expecting.

It was the talk of the town, the "Spell Blade", Raidyn.

She had an oversized Ultra Greatsword what was almost as tall as she on her back, a bladeless adorned greatsword handle on her belt and a black katana on her side. Besides her two sides. Two young looking boy not older than 17. They were Nfirea Bareare and Ninya. Raidyn temporary companions. Or some people said, pupils.

"Her metallic suit looks like it entirely made from adamantine… how much did it cost, anyway?"

The nickname of "Spellblade" came from her fighting style, her metallic suit had been heavily damaged when she returned from her mission . Back then, there had been scorch and claw marks everywhere, but now that her metallic armor is pristine. It glittered brightly under the rays of the sun.

This was the result of the combined efforts of every magic caster in the Magician's Guild coming together to repair it.

At her neck hung a metal plate — one that belonged to a living legend, an object of worship for adventurers, the trump card of humanity that would protect them from being ravaged by the powerful races of the world — an adamantine plate.

Her accomplishments had long surpassed those of the orichalcum rank, and there had never been one of those in E-Rantel before.

And now, this individual, famed in song and story, had appeared before them, stirring the Adventurer's Guild into a frenzy.

"The Kingdom's third adamantine adventurer team…"

"That must be… the 'Spellblade' Raidyn, right? ...And behind her are Nfirea Baleare and Ninya. The rumors were right..."

"You know, they say she was responsible for burning down that swath of forest… apparently, she did it with some kind of martial art or magic..."

"No way, how could that be… if she could use martial arts to burn it down, or magic that strong. Wouldn't that mean she's no longer in the realm of humanity?"

"She should be one of the few people who could do it, right? Adamantite-ranked adventurers are those who define the peak of power. I wouldn't be surprised if people called her the adamantine-rank of adamantine-ranks."

Raidyn advanced calmly to the counter under these adoring looks. The adventurers chatting with the guild receptionists all made way for the most highly-placed of adventurers, and on their faces was respect — and fear.

Radiyn nonchalantly addressed the receptionist.

"Our assignment is complete. Please help us keep an eye out for any new jobs."

The guild receptionist's eyes went wide, but they returned to their normal shape immediately. Perote knew why her eyes had widened. The task Raidyn had accepted was one which even mithril-ranked adventurers would have trouble accomplishing, and which would need quite a while to complete. However, Raidyn and her temporary partners had cleared it with ease.

Indeed, she could clear even mithril-ranked missions with ease.

This was only to be expected because such were the talents of the most highly-ranked adventurers.

"There's no work left for us."

Perote let that grumble slip, but of course, he did not actually mean it. Anyone who could reach the mithril rank would have made enough money to retire and live in luxury for the rest of their lives. Thus, anyone who continued adventuring after this must have had a reason for that beyond money.

"Ah, Raidyn-sama. I am very sorry, but we do not have any other jobs for you, Raidyn-sama. Please forgive us."

The receptionist rose to her feet and bowed deeply to her.

"It cannot be helped. Thank you for your hard work." she bowed her head

"I'll be returning to the inn; if there's anything, look for me there. Do you know where we staying?"

"I do. Is it the Shining Gold Pavilion?"

Esdeath nodded, then she turned and walked away.

With that, they left the guild.

OMAKE

WARNING! THE FOLLOWING LINES COULD CONTAIN WEIRD THEMES!

PLEASE READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!(warning experimental writing)

It was a usual working day in the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick. Clementine just received the permission badge from Esdeath with which she could walk freely almost everywhere in Nazarick.

Life was good for her in the past one month. She had food and shelter fit for royalty. She did not have to fight and struggle to survive, she could do her routine daily exercise without fearing anyone attacking her. She could torment anyone from the prison under the supervision of Neuronist Painkill.

Firstly she was a little suspicious about Neuronist. She thought Esdeath tricked her and brought her to Neuronist to restrain and torment her. Then after the first torture session, she started to like Neuronist style. Her first victim was a fool from the Sunlight Scripture. After a while she befriended a lot from the denizens of Nazarick whose nature were the same were hers.

„Kukuku. That fool face when he saw me. Inestimable." her face turned into an inhuman sadistic smile while she thought about this. „The delightful feeling what his screams caused to me. I-It almost caused me an orgasm. Seeing how the last faint of hope expires from his eyes. Ahh, what a beautiful sight. Kukuku."

Besides these things. She could no longer have to fear anyone from the Slaine Theocracy anymore.

The only thing what she needed to do is to train and teach these beings from the Martial arts. And give them information about the outside world.

„I don't know how these beings whose strength rivals with. No whose strength surpass even the six gods of the Slaine Theocracy don't know about the Martial Arts. But it does not matter. The only thing what matters is my own well-being." she chuckled sadistically

„With all of this monsters around. I am perfectly fit here. Kukukuku. I made a great deal no question about it."

Clementine during her short period of time in Nazarick saw numerous things what she thought was impossible during her life so far. But now she knew for these mysterious beings whose the denizens of Nazarick called Supreme Beings. Not exist such thing as impossible.

She was very glad she was with them and not against them.

Suddenly she realized someone coming towards her way.

The figure was around 1.8m tall demon with a dark skin and nicely combed black hair. Behind the round glasses are eyes so squinted that they aren't normally visible. Wearing a British suit with a tie, he is dressed like a gentleman. Behind his back is a silver tail, covered with metal plates and six long spikes at the end.

Demiurge's pair of eyes lacked eyeballs. In fact, it was complete without pupil or iris but were shining jewels with numerous small cuts.

He was the Arch Devil Demiurge the Creator of The Blazing Inferno the Guardian of the 7th floor of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick.

Clementine was not stupid. She knew if she does something stupid what displeases her hosts. They could kill her or make her something worse than death with a flinch of their finger. So no matter how uncomfortable was this to her she had to give the proper respect to them. She bowed deeply to Demiurge.

„Good afternoon Demiurge-sama!"

„Good afternoon Clementine." he greeted back while his hands were folded behind his back. "What a polite girl." Demiurge thought then smiled sadistically

While Demiurge walked along the corridors of the ninth floor he recalled the previous day when he helped Esdeath with the paperwork.

He was very satisfied and proud of himself because he could help personally one of the two last Supreme Beings.

Flashback:

A little girl sat behind an exquisite enormous black marble office desk. Her hair was pure white while her eyes sclera were black as the darkest night. Her heteromorphic pupils were blood red and pure white. She had long elf ears and pure white skin like a freshly fallen snow. She wore a black together dress what ended in a skirt. It was adorned golden runic symbols. She does not wear any foot gear. Her feet was bare.

She moved her foots back and forth in her big chair what was fit for royalty. It was a really comical view considering that the small girl sat on an oversized chair.

She was Esdeath Gorgon. One of the last two Supreme Beings.

Next to her stood Demiurge the 7th Floor Guardian. Currently, Esdeath was in the line of the paperwork. The reason why Demiurge was beside her and not Albedo because Esdeath knew for some reason Albedo could not stand her. So while Zero Rei managed Demiurge tasks Demiurge got a little free time and Ainz and Esdeath offered him a chance to chose something for his loyalty as a reward.

He chose to help out either Ainz or Esdeath with their paperwork. Currently, they go through the reports of the minor subordinates of Nazarick and the reports from Mare and Aura about the decoy forward outpost what they construct deep inside the forest. The work is progressed well and the denizens of Nazarick seemingly not reported any suspicious or ordinary. This bothered Esdeath. They either very satisfied with them or they do not dare to write anything negative. This really made them difficult to coordinate Nazarick. They needed a solution. Somehow they had to make their subordinates tell them their complaints about their rule and methods. If they ask them personally they surely say they are satisfied with them and they can not imagine a better life than serving them.

„Maybe a letter box where they may drop their opinions and suggestions anonymously or maybe I could send around my summon or Zero Rei to ask their opinion about us. Nah. I can't bother Zero Rei with such unimportant things. He is too busy for such unimportant things. Maybe I could reward him and Demiurge somehow for their hard work. But how?"

In the background, a music played. It was the Paradise City from the Guns N' Roses

„I hope the music doest not bother you Demiurge-san."

He bowed deeply. „No Esdeath-sama instead I like it very much. Could you tell me the song name and where is it come from?"

„The song name is Paradise City from the band named Guns N' Roses. It has come from a world named Earth. I collected almost all of my music, games, and movies from that place under my travels."

„Worlds? Esdeath-same does you mean there are more are more other worlds than the nine realms of YGGDRADASIL and this new world what currently does not have a name."

„How could I answer him for that?" Esdeath looked for a moment dumbfounded. „Ahh. I got it. I just bull shit something gibberish."

„Yes, Demiurge there are worlds for every possibility and scenario what you could possibly imagine. Even I and Ainz-san does not know its number because the possible world and reality counts grow with each moment."

„Oh. I see. If it not disrespectful Esdeath-sama. may I ask? What races populated of that world where you obtained these wonderful tracks?"

„The planet called Earth. Earth you get it Demiurge-san. A world named after the dirt what we standing on. It is quite ironic. The world was populated with only humans and there was no magic."

„Only by humans and with no magic? Please allow my ignorant self-ask how is the world could exist without magic Esdeath-sama?" Demiurge eyes widened because he never heard something like this. Only one humanoid species populate a whole word? And they live without magic? This is very unlikely for him.

„Everything is possible what you or anyone could or could not imagine Demiurge-san. Instead of magic, the world inhabitants relied on their own wits and their own intellect to bend the world rules to their will. However, their leader choice was always poor. They always choose such leaders who always watched their own interest and so they often waged wars against each other. Despite they belonged to one species. They waged war because such pity things as religious differences, someone trespassed someone territory, their skin color was not matched or the leaders simply needed a war because he or she had some business in the war industry and besides this many more unimportant thing."

„Such foolishness. If I may ask Esdeath-sama. Why don't you intervened?"

„It is none of my business to correct the error of their ways. Besides that their struggle what makes them stronger and brought them advancement and this was the thing what produced their beautiful music , movies, games and their arts. Besides it was fun to see their struggle." Esdeath chuckled a little

Demiurge smiled evilly.

„Esdeath-sama. if you allow me one final question before we continue our work. How do you and Ainz-sama intended to name this world where Nazarick transported?"

Esdeath looked pensive for a moment „Hm. My vote is for Bob. Planet Bob. That seems rigth. But I don't know how Ainz-san wants to name this world. It will be his choice. I just make a suggestion. After all, he is the guild master."

„I see. Thank you, Esdeath-sama let's continue the work."

„So how is the decoy outpost? Mare and Aura progressing well with it?

„Yes! Esdeath-sama they progressing within the schedule."

„Good." Esdeath lifted up the steaming coffee from her desk and sipped one sip from it.

„Do you require anything Demiurge-san. Some food or drink maybe?"

„No thank you Esdeath-sama. I am fine."

After a while...

„Do you want to relax Demiurge."

„I am fine Esdeath-sama. But if you want to make some rest I will not complain."

„Do you want to play something or watch a movie?"

„I want to inspect what kind of games do you usually play Esdeath-sama."

„Well then. Chose. Doom 9, Prototype 6, Bloodborne 5, Devil May Cry 6, Dark Souls 10 or [Insert the game title here what you want to Esdeath and maybe Demiurge play]. I can show teasers from them for you if you want."

„I would like to see teasers from them Esdeath-sama if that not a problem for you."

„Very well. System play game teasers in the next order Doom 9, Prototype 6, Bloodborne 5, Devil May Cry 6, Dark Souls 10 and [Insert the game title here what you want to Esdeath and maybe Demiurge play]

With that, a big screen come into life in the wall before them and started to play the teaser videos.

After Demiurge chosen a game, they played many hours with that chosen game. Sometimes even Demiurge tried to control it but he always died with a short amount of time. Despite his genius intellect, he can't really tune into the games what Esdeath played. But it was really relaxing, exciting and interesting to him to see such thing. If Esdeath becomes bored they changed the game into an another one and started to play with it. Demiurge even gets a lot of new idea from the games what Esdeath played. It was really refreshing for him after a long day work.

Flashback End:

Demiurge smiled on these wonderful memories of his. To work and relax with a Supreme Being was a really rare and wonderful moment for every denizen of Nazarick.

Besides his work he got enough free time to many supplementary activities because Zero Rei helped him out with a great effectiveness.

„Zero Rei-san is really worthy to be called the creation of one of the Supreme Being. He is very effective."

He already assembled a detailed list about a suitable breeding partner to Ainz and Esdeath what he assembled from the denizens of Nazarick.

He assembled the list very carefully. Considering every factor what he could come up with.

He placed Albedo, Shalltear and the Pleiades on the top of Ainz list.

„Shalltear is a more suitable breeding partner to Ainz-sama than Albedo if we consider that they are both undead and maybe if they mix their negative energy they could produce an heir without the need of physical contact or the required equipment to impregnate the other candidates. However, it would be interesting to see what kind of heir Ainz-sama procreate if he finds a way to impregnate Albedo or Esdeath-sama or even the other members of the list. However, I don't know precisely how the Supreme Beings reproduce working so I only assembled the list based on the basic information what I currently have. "

„Thinking about Esdeath-sama list. She is not lacking the necessary equipment to produce an heir. But whenever I come up with the theme before her she for some reason looks very confused and nervous. And she starts to divert the matter to another way. Saying there is no time for such thing now or The Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick is in an unknown world and situation. And we don't have time for such things currently.

I compiled her list from most of the male Floor guardians except Mare and the selected few denizens male denizens of Nazarick whom I thought can impregnate Esdeath-sama to produce the most optimal heir.

First I thought about adding Mare to the list but then I changed my mind. He is too young and innocent for such thing. Maybe I will add him to the list in the future when he will be more matured.

Of course, if she chooses me I will be gladly become his partner. That would be wonderful. To be chosen by a Supreme Being by such Important task!"

Demiurge eyes gleamed because of his idea.

„Or with Sebas. The best traits of draconic, angelic and demonic races combined within one heir. That would be very interesting to see. Or with Cocytus or a werewolf NPC? But what if she is for her own gender and she can produce an heir with just impregnate to another female member of Nazarick. I can not dismiss this possibility. I had to make an another list just for this case. I still don't have enough information."

With that, he continued his way to the Floor Guardians meeting room where he will meet Cocytus to begin to plan the invasion of the Lizardman village.
