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)

20. Raiding of the Night Raid

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 excellent 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 our little story!

---

"Let's crash the party! Shall we?" as she jumped into the air and activated her [Fly] spell and flew away in the night.

As she flew towards the massive flame wall, she looked into the clear night sky just to saw the heavens what was littered with stars. As far as the eye can see. She and Momonga were here more than two months. Still, she can't see enough this clear sky what was never given to her or any other people in the dying Earth before. Besides the old recordings from the past Earth sky or virtual recreations.

"I wonder what Blue Planet–san would think when he saw his sky…. It is maybe a selfish wish. But I hope we will meet him here. I hope we will find our friends." A sad smile moved on her face.

"Why am I so selfish…? Why I feel so alone despite Momonga-san is still there? Damn this body! It made me sentimental…"

"Hey! We are here too!" said the dark side.

"Y-Yes… Don't forget about us!" interjected the light side.

She smiled inside of herself. "How could I? You two after all damn annoying. Don't leave alone the person with its own thought…"

"Hey! Take that back!"

But she did not respond to the dark side. After this sentence. The two of them went silent.

As these thoughts ran through her already confused mind, Esdeath saw the capital for the first time from the sky at night. She wanted to enjoy the view even more at least as a tribute towards her friend who loved the nature more than anything else. But there was no time for that at the moment. She had a mission what she had to fulfill after all.

"I hope after we conquered the world or at least has a little time. I could come back to see at least once more to see this sight. It is really inspiring…"

The capital was dark, and it didn't seem like a bustling city at all. Even so, it was a fascinating experience for Esdeath, whose eyes could see clearly in the darkness and the hidden energy patterns and forces behind the world what held the things together in the universe. Thanks to her energy and extrasensory perception.

She sometimes wished to everyone could see the brilliance behind the scenes of the hard reality. The intricate and beautiful horrors and miracles what take place behind the scenes. Even when you just grabbed and raised a rock. Unfathomable information exchange locations in the universe. The complex calculation and symmetrical processes to have occurred. It was truly amazing.

An average human brain would melt down even from a glance at it. Even she often got a massive headache and nausea from her extra sensitive perception abilities. She was here more than two months. Still, she could not get used to it. It was like when you try to stuff through an 850 tons' engine a small barely one cm hole. She almost fainted sometimes when she was outside, and it often happened when she was alone.

She just let herself go when she was her room. When she was out of cold at least did not felt the pain what she felt because of the overwhelming amount of information. The worse thing was that. A headache and the periodic sickness do not lessen just grow with each day. She did not know how much time she could endure before she either die or gone insane.

Watching quietly from above, Esdeath's eyes spotted an unusual sight; a light in the distance. Its energy patterns suggested a magic caster is casting spells.

Though nothing much happened at first, when she saw the rising black flames, she realized that this was an emergency situation.

"I wonder who is fighting? I know Demiurge, and a few other vassals will carry out operations around the Capital. I read it in the report after all. But in the Capital directly? That's new…"

She lunged towards the battle and used [Message] to contact Ainz.

[Message]: "Momonga-san. Are you there?"

[Message]: "Yes, I am here what do you need Esdeath-san?"

[Message]: "Do you know anything about Demiurge operation near the capital?"
[Message]: "Not much. He did not clear many things in it. Maybe he assumed I predicted his move and did not felt the need to write it into his report. Why do you ask?"

[Message]: "Just because a massive wall of flame appeared near the Capital walls and I feel a similar energy signature nearby. Do you want to come along investigate it?"

[Message]: "Go ahead. I will go as fast as I can. Luckily I am nearby because a noble named Marquis Raeven hired me to protect his mansion in the Capital."

[Message]: "Strange… I know you, and Narberal-chan became Adamantine ranked adventurers, but the nobles don't usually hire adventurers from outside of their country. They usually pick one from their own nation."

[Message]: "Umu. I know. It was strange for me too when the Dragon Kingdom Queen Draudillon Oricolus handed me the mission personally. But as she said. Her close friend the Marquis requested my help for personal reason and after the Beastman nation crushing defeat in the Border Fortress. The country could recuperate so my help would not have needed on the front lines for a while. The foot soldiers will do the brunt of the work. So she asked me this little request."

[Message]: "Really? And how she looks?"

[Message]: "She is a loli, and I think she is fallen to me. When she hires me to be part of her honor guard she always tries to create such situations when we remain alone or lure me into her room. Guh. …"

[Message]: "Hahahaha…." She laughed full heartedly in the [Message]. Ainz sweat dropped on the other side. "Momonga-san… You little pervert. I know you like that kind of girls in anime and mangas. But in real life? You are a bad boy…. Kukukuku."

[Message]: "It is not funny! It is horrible! What if she accidentally finds out who I am!? Anyway, she is not a little girl she is probably a hundred years old…"

[Message]: "Oh. I am sorry. Poor Momonga-san. But you are a bright boy. I am sure you will find out something sooner or later."

[Message]: "Probably. One more question."

[Message]: "Shot Sans-san."

[Message]: "Why do we still use honorifics?" inquired Momonga.

[Message]: "I don't know. Maybe, because of habit?"

[Message]: "Well then, from now on as your Guild Master I declare we don't need to use honorifics when there is only a chat between the two of us. Of course, if it is business or we are in front of the denizens of Nazarick we still use it when it is necessary. After all, we are friends or not?"

[Message]: "As you say, Boss. As you say…"

[Message]: "I am glad we agree on this." Momonga chuckled. "Well, we meet at the meeting point. Thanks for the coordinates by the way."

[Message]: "No problem Mr. Bones. Until we see each other again."

[Message]: "But then be surprised Snow white when I arrive to save you as a Prince intended to do. Kukuku."

[Message]: "Shut up bonehead!"

[Message]: Momonga chuckled, but this act immediately activated his emotion suppression. "Sush… You are so just adorable when you are angry." With this Momonga terminated the connection.

"Snow White? Really? I expected a more creative nickname Momonga…" she mumbled under her nose.

As she approached the site, she saw more clearly with each meter what happening below her on the ground.

She knew something was not right. Either it was an unknown element, Demiurge operation or even a Shalltear brainwasher revealing itself at this moment.

From Clementine information, she and Ainz knew the greatest suspect is the Slaine Theocracy who could own such items what could be capable of such things as brainwash undead. But the two of them don't want to act hastily. They needed more information before they mobilize the full wrath of Nazarick to annihilate from the earth Shalltear attacker. Beside that. if they make move against the Slaine Theocracy now. Because of the nation and its churches high influence in this world. They might recite a witch hunt. The thing what they wanted to avoid at any price.

"That is one of the eight location what the raids should hit…" she murmured.

"I hope you will give me some entertainment. I am a little bored." She lunged towards the location. Her speed jus grown and grown as she was fallen towards the ground.

Evileye was ultimately cornered by the 'Demon God' as she called it. There was no way to her to escape. Her friends and companions were dead. She even used her trump card against the monster, but he simply brushed off. Cutting off and thwarting all her escape plans. She felt the feeling what she thought she felt only when she fought against the Evil Deities two hundred years ago.

Then the masked figure looked towards the sky as the two of them heard a voice from the far. The voice seemed quite familiar with her, and it seemed the person just sing a song while her voice felt closer and closer with each moment. Evileye eyes widened. "Is she insane to fall with such speed?"

"Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green, and the girls are pretty
Take me home (oh won't you, please take me home)
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green, and the girls are pretty
Take me home (oh won't you please take me home)"

Raidyn closed the distance between herself and the ground while she sang the song to divert attention from Evileye. Now she clearly knew why the presence what she felt was similar. It was the masked Demiurge. But what is he doing in the city? What business could he have here?

Before she could land. She elegantly made a flip into the air as she unsheathed her Ultra-great sword and fell on the ground with a big thud breaking the stone floor beneath her as she strokes in the point where Demiurge stood. Making sure she will not hurt him but to not raise too much suspicion in the process. Demiurge simply jumped away from the way of the strike.

As she stood up, she glanced backward to Evileye. "Beautiful night. Isn't it?"

Evileye who was on the brink of life and death stood dumbfounded. The new girl probably just saved her life then joked like it was nothing. She felt no fear from her words as she stood before the most likely 'Demon God' entity who could probably easily crush the 'Evil Deities ' who she fought two hundred years ago.

However, she immediately changed her mind. When you thought about it, both of them seemed very suspicious. After all, it was a very unlikely situation from her she just appearing from the nowhere when the demon just ends her life.

"Raidyn?! What are you doing here?!"

Raidyn tilted her head and sheathed her sword. "I finished with my raid point earlier, and I thought I help out those groups in need. When I saw the signs of magic here. So I decided to investigate it."

There was no other chance. She had to ask her help. "Then as a fellow Adamantine ranked adventurer, I request you give me a handout!"

As the words left her mouth, she realized what she has done. She most likely sent to death the fresh girl.

That was the difference in the fighting strength between herself and the enemy. Even with the help of Raidyn the Spellblade, a fellow Adamantine ranked adventurer, what could she do what Evileye did not try already? The demon facing Evileye was one she could not hope to defeat, even with her help. It would be like going from a scrap of paper to two— either way, they would both be scattered by the raging storm before them.

If she accepted Evileye's request, she would be directly responsible for her death. What she should have done was to tell her to flee, and if possible, take the bodies of her comrades with her.

Raidyn closed her heteromorphic eyes and smirked like it was some kind of light request from a friend. "Okidoki! Evileye-chan.".

She tightened her grip on her sword.

The petite vampire held her breath.

Despite her thin frame, she felt unimaginable strength flowing towards her from Raidyn's direction. It seemed for a moment she saw the reflection of the leader of the thirteen heroes. No, her aura even surpassed his. It was an incredible sight.

She looked to the masked demon before her. "Sorry to make you wait. I hope this little incident will not ruin our future relations."

The demon before her bowed his head to her like a servant to a noble. No. It couldn't possibly be respected; he must have been mocking her. Was the two of them merely playing games? Evileye just stood stunned behind her and did not understand what she saw. "Is this girl insane, overconfident, stupid or not able to sense danger what she is facing?"

"My, my, such an honor you pay us this night. Might I inquire as to your noble name? This one is known as Jaldabaoth."

"Jaldabaoth? You have a strange name. Let me introduce myself then. I am Raidyn." She bowed sarcastically before the demon.

"What she is doing? Is she mocking him? Is she insane?"

Evileye didn't think the name Jaldabaoth was weird. In fact, Evileye had no idea what to think of it. She knew quite a bit about the lore of demons and other infernal beings, but next to nothing about this name.

Although Jaldabaoth emitted a terrifying infernal presence, she felt the opposite but similar from Raidyn's direction. It seemed she exudes some kind of unknown holy energy instead of subterranean what counter the demoralizing demon presence.

Then Evileye realized what Raidyn is doing. She measures her opponent through verbal communication and through his movements. It was all along her plan. Measure the enemy strength before she fights with it.

The petite mage, who was ashamed of how easily her emotions had taken control of her, moved into the shadow of Raidyn to not distract them.

Even though Raidyn seemed just a newcomer, Evileye felt she would be in the way if that two clash.

The two side did not bother with her presence anymore. At the moment that she moved, they began a duel of wits, each seeking the secrets of the other.

"What do you seek in this beautiful night?"

"The Winged Seed of the Thorn- apple whispered me the fact here, and now I could find some Buttercup."

"Hmm. Clever. The language of flowers…" Though Raidyn.

"Ah. I see… And what kind of Weath do you seek tonight Jaldabaoth-san?"

"The rarest kind of Weath capable of beckoning us to this plane has found its way to this city. We are here to retrieve it, of course. Regretfully it could be only recovered tonight."

"And what if I give the weath what you seek? Wouldn't that solve the problem?"

"Unfortunately, the Thorn- Apple flower still not bloomed."

Raidyn lowered her head. "That's so… How unfortunate. But so be it."

"That is precisely so."

Evileye tilted her head at the surreal sight before her. Rather than a battle of wits, they were just speaking bout flowers and weath. How did that even make sense? "What are those two are doing!? Speaking of Weath and flowers? Nonsense!"

Raidyn placed her hand on the handle of her sword. "Then. At least bring me some Viscaria. I heard they are beautiful at this time of the year."

The masked demon bowed as he smirked under his mask. "As you wish. If the Delphinium, ask for it. It's the task of the Winged Seeds of the grass to fulfill it. "

Raidyn pulled out her Ultra Greatsword, and it seemed its size grow before Evilieye's eyes as Raidyn pulling her sword out from its sheath. Its length was almost three meter. A partial skull adorned its joint between the blade and the handle.

"How could she possibly even raise that huge sword?"

"Please permit me a little resistance."

"It would be pretty disappointing if you did not show any resistance," Raidyn smirked.

As Raidyn stepped forward, she disappeared before Evileye's eyes. She searched her for a moment. Then she heard the clangs as the two figure struggling against each other.

The petite mage could not describe the fight with words. Although she barely saw anything from the battle of the two figure what she saw was awe-inspiring.

The after-images of countless swords parried and countered by the extended claws of Jaldabaoth.

"Incredible..." she murmured.

There were many ways to render praise, but at this moment, Evileye, who was entranced by the dazzling swordplay before her, could only offer up that single word. It exceeded the blows of all the swordsmen in her memory. It seemed as though she would slice through the night and evil in one blow.

She felt like the princess in the songs of the bards. And the girl before her seemed like a knight come to her rescue. An electric current ran up her spine from between her legs, and Evileye's petite frame shuddered.

The heart of hers that had been still for over 150 years seemed to beat quickly once more.

Placing her hands on her breast, she found that of course there was no movement there. Even so, it felt real enough to her.

She could not say a word. Just watched the two sides clash with each other.

Whoosh! Jaldabaoth has blown a good distance away, with a sound that didn't seem like it could have come from a body of flesh and blood. Though he remained on his feet, he was still skidding over the cobblestoned floor at a rate that would swiftly wear out the soles of his shoes. After several dozen meters, he finally came to a halt and dusted himself off.

"Truly spectacular. Crossing blows with a genius warrior like yourself might have been a mistake on my part."

Raidyn raised her ultra-heavy sword with one of her hand and summoned several blue energy swords behind her back then released them towards Jaldabaoth. The demon raised his heavy clawed hands to protect himself from the energy blades.

"Muu. Jaldabaoth-san. I expected a good show tonight. Why are you holding back?" she pouted her face in a sad expression.

It seemed almost unbelievable that neither party was going all-out despite the scope of this battle.

"Could she be a God-kin?"

The offspring of the beings known as "Players" were people who might awaken incredible power from within themselves. The Slane Theocracy called these people demigods. Or, more precisely, they were the ones who carried the bloodline of the Six Gods within their veins. If they had the blood of others, they would be termed differently.

"Could she carry the blood of the Players?" she murmured.

"My my, it seems I couldn't hide it from you after all. you said (that your name is) Raidyn-sa—n didn't you."

"As you say, my friend. As you say." She smiled under her hood.

"Oh my, what an honor to called by such thing from a blooming purple Tulip. Very well, then. Here I come. [Aspect of the Devil: Tentacle Wing]."

Wings sprouted from Jaldabaoth's back, but the feathers covering them were abnormally long, evoking the appearance of tentacles. Despite the horrific scene, Raidyn remained on her guard.

"You are strong. There is no doubt that your might exceeds my own. Though it is not exactly to my tastes, permit me the use of this method. While your own defense is formidable, can the same be said of the small fry behind you? How will you deal with that, then? Perhaps you should focus on defending her, no?"

With that, he cast forth a hail of feathers. Their tips were razor-sharp, capable of slicing cleanly through muscle and bone.

Evileye was defenseless in the face of this onslaught. She had no more mana to cast 'Crystal Wall.' All she could do was wait and hope for a miracle.

Then suddenly saw a dark form appearing before her. She looked up. Crimson Cape and black-clad armor adorned the broad warrior.

"Are you alright?" he asked in a gentle voice as he glanced back.
Seeing the broad black-clad warrior Evileye's she felt the sensation when she saw Raidyn fight. "Damn! Twice in the same night… What a shame!" she thought.

The shattered remains of the feathers were scattered everywhere. Even though they were capable of shredding a human being to pieces, it was still a beautiful sight.

"Y-Yes, thank you…." She shuttered. However, her face was completely red under her mask.

"It's good that you're all right. I am Momon by the way. Adamantine ranked adventurer from the Dragon Kingdom."

"Evileye-chan are you alright?" asked Raidyn who withheld the huge demon claw with her oversized sword.

"I am fine!" she yelled. However, she still did not want to believe in her eyes. "Two god-kin in one night?" Normally that could not be possible. Still, it happened before her very eyes.

That man's calm voice. Raidyn's arm, swinging her sword at incredible speed. The black-clad warrior breathing was measured, and his tone was calm, even as he furiously deflected the feathers coming at them.

"Ah... ah... Ah! Your shoulder! Are you okay?" she asked in a tone of concern.

Momon's pauldron had a feather stuck in it. Because it had been cloven in half mid-flight, it had lost its penetrating power. It looked like a decoration on his armor.

"That's nothing. Attacks at this level aren't even worthy of consideration. Rather, I am glad that you're all right." He chuckled.

Evileye felt her heart lurch with a badump. Her face was hot under her mask, which seemed like it was going to scald her.

"My, my two purple tulips in one night. I may need backup." Chuckled Jaldabaoth and raised his hand.

From the air above them, numerous white flashes appeared whose flew towards them at an incredible speed. Raidyn kicked the demon in his stomach who from the force flew back a few meters, and for a moment she was before the Dark Warrior and Evileye to block the attack. With a slash, she cut down all shells.

"Marvellous! For defending the two of them without letting her sustain so much as a scratch, I, Jaldabaoth, offer you two my heartiest congratulations. Indeed, a marvelous display." The demon bowed.

In the roofs, they spotted an another masked suited figure who held some kind of strange staff in his hands. He held it in an odd position.

Instead of he held his most likely ranged weapon in the right position. He held it vertically while used his two hands to balance it. If a magic caster saw this, he or she maybe laughing at the other masked person due of his clumsy staff placement.

"What do you want?" inquired Momon.

With that, Momon scooped up Evileye in one arm and hugged her close to him.

"!"

Her unmoving heart felt like it was going to burst from her mouth. In her mind, the stupid stories of the stupid bards kept pounding through her brain, over and over again. Especially the ones where the Knight carried the princess while doing battle. Any sensible person would realize that carrying a burden while fighting a strong enemy was nothing but foolishness.

"Bards throughout the world, I'm sorry! A true knight does indeed carry the frail maiden in his arms, fighting while protecting her. Uwah, what am I thinking! So embarrassing!"

She was being carried like a sack of potatoes under his arm. Although, that was actually the best way to do it. Compared to a mature adult woman, Evileye was small and light. To maintain his center of gravity, it made perfect sense for Momon to carry her like this.

She knew she had no grounds to complain, and her heart still burned with the anger of seeing her companions murdered. She knew full well this wasn't the time for such foolishness. Even so, there was no way to adequately quell the unhappiness inside her heart.

"Then, Let's continue. The night is still young." Raidyn stepped forward. Momon placed Evileye on the ground and stepped beside her as unsheathed his two huge black great swords.

"No, I believe that will be all for now. Like I said earlier, my objective is not to defeat you. Now, we will turn part of the capital into a purgatory. Once we have established the breach, rest assured that I shall certainly send the two of you to the underworld atop a pyre of infernal flame. Come, Chef. We have to cook tonight." The masked figure with the strange glowing staff nodded but did not say anything.

Jaldabaoth glanced towards the other masked figure on the roof which held some kind of strange item in his hand.

The figure nodded and with that, the two of them turned and vanished. Their movement did not seem hurried they just disappeared into the night.

"No. No, this is not okay, Raidyn-sama, Momon-sama if we don't pursue them they will cause havoc in the city."

The two warrior shook their head in unison. "Think about it Evileye. What will happen if we fight here with them in the middle of the city? Many civilians could die in the process."

Momon nodded. "She is right. If we fight with them here. That will not be beneficial to the city and its denizens."

Evileye lowered her head shamefully. "I –I understand…."

The petite mage hated herself her helplessness. In the current situation, she was only a burden to the two Adamantine ranked adventurer before her. To think she'd said such high-sounding things to Climb.

"We did not meet yet. I am Momon Adamantine ranked adventurer from the Dragon Kingdom and she is my companion Nabe."

He pointed to the woman who just descended slowly from the sky. The dark hero, Momon's team, included the magic caster known as the Beautiful Princess. At the time, Evileye had laughed at the vanity of such a nickname, but now, with the real person in front of her, she found herself holding her breath.

"I am Raidyn. It is nice to meet you Momon-kun. I heard many great things from the two of you. You two are really accomplished adventurers." They shook each other hands, and Raidyn nodded towards the blushing Nabe.

Nabe bowed her head respectfully while tried to hide her embarrassment. "We could say the same. Defeating thousands of undead in the cemetery and a high ranked vampire is not an easy feat."

"Oh, you just flatter me. It was not a big thing really." She chuckled.

"Is that so…" Momon chuckled from the acting of his guild mate.

"What do you think what will be our next move be?" inquired Raidyn.

" Ignoring Jaldabaoth and the other who accompanied him would be dangerous. I am here purely to watch over my client mansion. But If I get his permission. Maybe, we could combine our powers to stop him and his plan."

"I agree, but first we should acquire the permission of our clients. It would be pretty unsatisfying if we would have kicked out before we could explain the situation and rally the guards." Explained Raidyn.

Momon nodded. "—That is true."

"What the two of you think?" Momon turned towards Nabe and Evileye.

"I agree." Said Evileye. Nabe just nodded.

"Then we should throw away that oversized Mosquito first." Noted Nabe in an annoyed tone.

Evileye bowed deeply to Momon and Raidyn.

"Thank you very much for all your help. Allow me to reintroduce myself. I am Evileye, of the adamantine ranked adventuring party Blue Rose. I further apologize from Raidyn-sama because of my rude behavior in our first meeting."

"No problem Evileye-chan. You don't need to be so formal to me. We are colleagues after all. It is our duty to help each other in the time of distress." Said Raidyn cheerfully.

Momon nodded. "She is right. You don't have to be so formal."

"Shall we help you with your friends?" She pointed to Gagaran and Tia.

"I am deeply grateful for your offer, but there is no need. Our colleagues should be arriving soon. Perhaps they can cast the resurrection spell upon them here."

"Hm? You can use Resurrection spells?" inquired Momon.

"Ah... ah, yes. Our team leader Lakyus can bring the dead back to life."

"Is that so? Then... if I may ask, from how far away can one cast a resurrection spell?"

"What do you mean?" Evileye tilted her head confusedly.

"That is to say, let's say you wanted to resurrect these two. Assuming you cast your spell in the Empire, where would they resurrect? In the Empire, or where their bodies lie?"

"I am sorry Momon-dono. I am not aware of the spell details. But maybe when Lakyus arrived she could explain it to you.."

Momon nodded. "Mmm. Then, another question; after the resurrection, would the two of them be able to fight immediately?"

"It would be impossible," Evileye replied.

The spell Lakyus cast was the 5th-tier magic 'Raise Dead.' The raising would drain tremendous amounts of life force. Without exception, adventurers ranked iron and lower would be reduced to ash if it was cast on them. Adamantine ranked heroes could be revived without a problem, but the resurrection would drain so much life energy from them that they would not be able to move, and recovering this life energy would take a long time.

If Jaldabaoth was right, not only were they still in danger, but they would also be deprived of a great amount of fighting strength.

"...no, under these conditions, nobody can fight Jaldabaoth besides the two of them in front of me. Resurrecting my companions would do nothing to alter the circumstances. It would be wiser for them to focus on recovery after their revival." Thought Evileye.

"I see… I think I have a general idea now. If possible, I think I would like to meet Lady Lakyus. Would it be possible for me to wait here with you?"

"Wha! W-w-w-why do you want to see Lakyus?!" Evileye panicked.

She didn't understand the reason why herself. In an instant she heard Momon saying that he wanted to see Lakyus, her heart was filled with resentment. It even shocked herself, and her outburst had alarmed Momon too. Raidyn tilted her head confusedly seeing Evileye's shameful act.

Within her mask, her face began reddening with shame, and she was glad that the cloak covered up the tips of her ears which were also turning red.

"I was hoping to ask about revival magic, and also to meet with the leader of Blue Rose, who are fellow adventurers of the same rank as myself, and who are my seniors besides. That, Jaldabaoth and his mysterious companion might be gone, but there's no guarantee he will not return. Is that so displeasing?"

"N-no, it's not like that... ah, I'm sorry I shouted at you."

The resentment in her chest vanished the moment she heard Jaldabaoth's name; she knew they had to be on guard against him.

"Can you explain to us what happened here before we arrived Evileye-san?" asked Raidyn.

Evileye nodded. "Of course, but before that, I need to reposition my comrade's bodies. Could you help me with that?" Momon and Raidyn nodded and helped her with the bodies.

She'd thought they would have been burned beyond recognition, but it seemed that the devil's flames had only burned the soul rather than the flesh. The corpses were immaculate. After closing their eyes and crossing their arms over their chests, Evileye withdrew a 'Shroud of Sleep' from her pack, and began wrapping Tia up in it.

As the two of them helped Evileye Nabe gritted her teeth at the background. "Why the Supreme Beings care about that cockroach? I can't stand seeing my masters doing the work instead of me…." As she thought about this, she strolled towards the scene and started to help them.

Evileye started her long explanation as the four of them worked. Nabe hearing what happened her comrade almost decapitated the vampire beside her. Only the awareness of her two master's presence stopped her. The two of them wanted to remain hidden in a time come. She did not know why the one above all and his enforcer hide from such miserable creatures as humans. But she did not care. If it is the wish and the plan of her masters. Then she will obey as a faithful servant of Nazarick.

As Evileye spoke of how she had nearly finished off the insect maid, a change came over Raidyn, Momon, and Nabe, who had been quietly listening to her story up until now.

"Then, did you kill her?"

His words were neutral, but the anger behind them was unmistakable. Raidyn glanced downward for a moment. However, it did not seem from her hood, but she gritted her teeth.

"Kill her! I know you want it!" her evil side appeared again.

"Shut up already!" she roared in herself as she gritted her teeth. "A headache and nausea back again…. Why is the pain so intense this time!? Deep breath…. Deep breath… You will be over it just a moment, and the pressure will be gone! The pressure will be gone!" She took a deep breath. She wanted to shout in her agony, but she withheld. Instead, she bit her lower lip. "Come to the dark side we have cookies..."

"Oh, cookies! I love cookies! What kind of cookies do you have?"

"Cookies with raisins." said the dark side.

"Get away from me! Monster! And take with you those infernal abominations with you!"

"No, we didn't kill her. Jaldabaoth appeared before we could do that." Evileye explained.

"...Is that so? I see I see." Momon nodded.

The anger vanished, and Evileye wondered if he had even been angry in the first place. But, the silent Nabe's hard eyes were still filled with simmering wrath. It is hard to tell if she disdained everyone in this way.

"Did the insect maid what you speak about shown any hostility before your group attacked her? " Asked Raidyn.

The petite mage realized why instantly the tone of the two of them changed.

It was only natural for adventurers to avoid unnecessary battles. If a group of high-level adventurers didn't know this, it would disgrace the name of adamantine-ranked adventurers; everyone knew that.

"Jaldabaoth said that he would turn the capital into an inferno. A maid following someone like that couldn't possibly be a normal person. I believe the decision my colleagues made to fight her was the correct course of action."

Momon and Raidyn looked at each other and nodded. "Fair enough." Said Raidyn as the two of them lowered their head.

"Ah! Please, raise your heads! Such a wonderful persons like yourselves should... Ueeeeee?" Evileye twisted her tongue when she realized what she has done.

Evileye squealed in her heart.

"Ahhh. I can't help! The two of them so cool!"

Given the way Evileye was looking at the two of them like a schoolgirl in love, her expression was kind of pathetic under her mask. This was the one reason why she wore a mask. To avoid such cases.

Evileye's body had stopped developing at the age of twelve. As such, she possessed none of the parts that a man wanted to see. Whether it came to inducing the fires of lust in others or satisfying said passion, it would have been tough for her.

Of course, a particular subset of men would have been very attracted to her, but they were a minority. With a beauty like Nabe or Raidyn beside Momon. She had no chance.

Yes, she was interested both of them. But she was more interested towards Momon. Of course, if that came into she would be in a threesome.

Raidyn was very attractive to her, but she was confused what to do with her when she thought about their future relationship. Has she felt a deep gratefulness towards her savior,s friendship or love? She did not know, and this is frightened her. But most likely she thought about Raidyn more like a popular girl in the school who she wants to befriend.

She didn't quite know what they were doing at first, but when she remembered how she had wailed just now, it came to her. The two of them had taken her cry as a warning.

"Momon-san, do you recognize those flames?" Raidyn pointed in the direction of the huge flame wall.

As Raidyn said this, all of them turned to look at the crimson radiance. Evileye's eyes widened, for she knew what had caused the fire.

Momon looked in the direction of the flames.

The crimson fire spat tongues of flame toward the sky, as though it aimed to burn down the heavens. It was easily more than thirty meters high, and she could hardly imagine how wide it was— several hundred meters, maybe more.

The wall of flame swayed like a veil and encircled the city like a girdle.

Evileye, who had been shocked senseless by sight, heard a soft male voice in her ear.

"'Flames of Gehenna'?" whispered Momon.

"Yes, it is. Strange seeing it there…." Replied Raidyn.

"Do you know what is that?" inquired Evileye.

Raidyn turned towards her. "I am not sure. But I saw similar thing under my travels."

The black clad warrior nodded.

"I need to discuss something with Raidyn, please excuse us," Momon crooned.

"Eh, can't I come along too?" yelped Evileye.

"Ah, no, it's a personal thing. Please, excuse us." The two of them retreated while Nabe remained at Evileye's side.

Evileye did not understand why she can't come along if Raidyn can. She was like a small child again. After more than two thousand years she felt jealous? Or this was the feeling of loneliness. She did not know, and this is bothered her.

She saw Raidyn face under her hood and what she saw shocked her. It was concern and pain. "Did she hiding something? Uhhh. I just want to hug her!" Her eyes widened. "What did I think." She gritted her teeth then sighed. "I don't know what to do anymore…"

"It's foolish to want to be protected because you're weak. Instead, all you need to do is become strong, and you won't need anyone to keep you safe. That should be the way."

"Sorry, Evileye-chan. We will tell you what we found out when we finished. If it is alright to you of course." Said Raidyn playfully.

"Hm? Ahh, I'm sorry. Ok, I just wait for my party here then." Raidyn and Momon nodded.

She recalled the idle chatter in the tavern. At that time, she'd laughed it off, because she had thought it had nothing to do with her.

Ainz activated a cash item. It had the power to prevent eavesdropping, but it felt like a waste because it was a one-use item. However, he had no choice.

"Did you activated the item?"

Momon nodded. "Better be safe than regret later. It is one use, but you have plenty of them in your vault."

"Right. To plunder my vault very nice from you…"

Momon noded.

"Let's get back to the topic. So what do we do with her? She hurt little Entoma. But killing her would cause too much ruckus and questions…" She glanced towards Evileye who just spoke with Nabe.

"Exactly. This is why she will live for the time being. We will deal with her later. She could be a valuable resource. But when the time comes. She will be punished for hurting our friend creation."

"What do you think of her?"

"I don't know. She is strange. First, she was rude then now she is like an excited child seeing her idol. And there is an another funny thing…"

"What is it?"

"Maybe I am wrong… But I feel small negative energy traces around her. Barely recognizable but the small marks are here."

"How do you know?"

"You know. I have Extrasensory and Energy perception. I can see and sense energy signatures around me."

"And how is the world painted through your vision?" asked Ainz.

"Beautiful, horrible and give me too much information to work." She rolled her eyes.

Momon nodded. "Demiurge sure chose the worst time for a raid. But every bad situation can be converted into a positive one. I say this is a great opportunity to strengthen our reputation further. I think I saw through his plan for the most part. However, the more complex a machine, the more easily it breaks down."

"Yeah, you are right… When I thought I have a lazy night…" she sighed and massaged her nose temple. "You are feeling alright? You don't look good…" noted Momon. "What happened?"

Esdeath realizing Ainz recognized her moment of weakness tried to save the situation. "Shit, he and Nazarick has enough problem without my unimportant sickness. I need to bullshit myself out again…"

She started to smile. "What do you say! Momon-kun! It is not nice to say such thing to your friend!" She chuckled.

"Don't play with me! What is the problem?"

Raidyn glanced next to her and showed an awkward face of disgust. "I just thought back to the soup what I ate yesterday. It was like this. Bleeh…." She stuck out her tongue her face twisted to an Excalibur face.

"Seriously. Don't do that again! You are frightening me. You know if there is any problem. You can come to me."

"I know I know daddy. I promise I will tell you if there is a problem." She pouted her face.

"So what do you think? Is she suspect anything about us?" asked Raidyn.

"I don't know. From how she is staring us at this moment. Possibly…."

"We have to be wary to do not reveal our identity."

"Right." Raidyn nodded. "We have to be on our guard to do not raise any more suspicion."
Momon nodded. "I am sorry. It was foolish of me to reveal my anger when she spoke about Entoma."

"Don't worry about it. I was upset too. Hurting poor little Entoma who just did her own business. Who would do such thing? Only bullies do such things…"

Narberal was completely calm in the background. Thinking everything is going according to the Supreme Beings plans. But it was not the chase. Not at all.

The two guild member felt as though they were going to drown in the lake of their own cold sweat. In Momonga chase it was only metaphor due he was undead and did not have sweat glands.

The two of them couldn't even grasp the meaning behind Demiurge's scheme. When Esdeath arrived at the scene, she was thought it would be fun, so she jumped in the battle. She knew only a fool battle maniac thinking. But her blood did not let her just to pass such opportunity.

She suspected from the energy signature it is some kind of demon who is similar to Demiurge was nearby. But when spotted Demiurge. How could I say? It surprised her. Just as Momonga when he heard about it.

The two of them started to worry if such beings as themselves worthy of the respect their subordinates.

If superiors — especially one of a CEO's level — proved themselves to be too incompetent, their subordinates would lose their trust in them.

When the two of them heard about Evileye almost killed Entoma. The two of them almost used their powers to annihilate her from the face of the New World. Only the two of them great control and Ainz Emotion Suppression prevented them to do not do such thing.

The two of them already knew. They have been grown to control themselves. It was a great breakthrough. But they needed more to succeed. The NPC's what their friends created was like the children's of their friends.

If someone hurts them. It's like someone hurting their friends. There is not forgiveness for such act.

"Let's go, back before we become more suspicious of her. And please send a [Message] to Albedo about our situation. That we may have to join in clearing up Jaldabaoth's mess."

Raidyn nodded in response and relayed the [Message] to Albedo.

The two adventurer slowly made their way back to Evileye.

Scene Change: Palace: Receiving room:

Though it was in the middle of the night, a corner of the royal city was lit up by torches as though it were broad daylight. A somewhat cramped room was packed full of men and women. They were all dressed in battle gear, but there was no unifying theme among them.

They were all adventurers within the capital who had responded to the hasty summons of the palace. Orichalcum and mithril-ranked adventurers notwithstanding, even lowly iron and copper-ranked adventurers were present for this. Amongst them, the eyes of the adventurers pointed at four people in the crowd. Raidyn, Momon, Nabe, and Evileye. Of course, beside them, Nfirea and Ninya was present too.

"Ninya, Nifirea. Let me introduce you Momon and Nabe from the Darkness Adamantine Adventurer group and Evileye from the Blue Rose. All three of them adamantine ranked adventurers."

The two boys gasped. "R-Really. It is an honor to meet you."

Nabe only scoffed, and Evileye nodded towards the two boys. But Momon stepped forward to greet them in a manner of worthy.
"It is good to meet you two." He shook the hands of both of them.

The two boys were awe inspired. Every high ranked adventurer who they met. (Except Raidyn.) Was all full of themselves and could only boast of their achievements.

"Where are you and Miss Nabe from Momon-dono?" inquired Ninya.

"We mostly operating in the Dragon Kingdom. But due to a request. We came in the Re-Estize Kingdom."

"I see…" nodded Ninya.

The great door to the chamber suddenly opened, and what appeared was a band of women, causing a stir.

Every one of them was known to the adventurers within the Kingdom.

At their head was the leader of the adamantine ranked adventuring party "Blue Rose," Lakyus Alvein dale Aindra.

Close behind her was the Golden Princess Renner, along with the leader of the Adventurer's Guild in the capital. Then there was one of the twins. And at the back was the strongest warrior of the Kingdom, Gazef Stronoff.

As the group stood before the gathered adventurers, the youth in white armor unrolled the scroll in his hands and pasted it onto the wall behind him.

It was a detailed map of the royal capital.

"Ladies and gentlemen, to begin with, I'd like to thank you for being able to be present for this emergency meeting." The woman who spoke was a former mithril ranked adventurer in the middle of her forties. The room quietened down hearing her voice.

"Due to the events what took place in the capital tonight the adventurers guild decided to cooperate with the Kingdom. Usually, this would never happen. But this is an exceptional chase. In order to quickly resolve the problem what we are facing. We decided to cooperate."

The Golden Princess advanced accompanied by The members of the Blue Rose and Gazef Stronoff.

"I am Renner Theiere Chardelon ryle Vaiself, and I am deeply grateful that everyone here was able to respond to the extraordinary summons issued tonight."

Renner started to explain her plan those who present and answered the questions those who asked. It only took a few minutes.

Then Renner reached the climax of her speech.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you will be the bow of our Kingdom, drawn and loosed, to pierce our foe straight through the heart. Just as the adventurers will spread out, so will the enemy as they follow us. This also means the enemy's defense will weaken. Between a relaxed and a closed formation, I am certain it is easier to break through an informal structure. The purpose of forming you up into a line like this is to lure the enemy into weakening them. And finally, acting as the arrow will be Raidyn- and Momon-sama here. When they saw the enemy lines open up, the two of them will make a low-altitude flying assault to break through them."

"...how about Red Drop? I know Raidyn. But you are sure you want to place your trust in a foreign adventurer's hand? Sure he is an adamantine adventurer but what if he is allied with that demon? Raidyn-dono. You are really want to place your life in a foreign adventurer's hand?"

The crowd started to mumbling among each other.

Raidyn turned towards the one who showed concern. "I feel he and his companion are trustable. In case if I am wrong. Well, let just say. I made the necessary precautionary steps against such situations. Please don't worry about me. Instead, concentrate your own survival and to save as many lives as you can."

Esdeath assured the crowd. Amongst the crowd, there were many faces what she previously saw. The adventurers looked at each other and nodded. The dedication and trust radiated from their eyes.

"If you meet an enemy what you are not capable of defeating alone. Call reinforcements. Don't die in vain. Most of you are too young for that. Don't forget. Death comes for everyone. But you know what?"

The crowd was completely silent.

Raidyn looked around. "When you meet Uncle Death. You look into his empty eyes and just say to his face. Not today."

The whole crowd cheered. Lakyus chuckled. "Well, I admit… She can give a speech."

[Message]: "How do you like my statement Momonga?"

[Message]: "Not bad. Your luck stat is almost as high as mine. But to saying to them not fear me. That was rude."

[Message]: "You know. I am that bad." she rolled her eyes and chuckled.

[Message]: "Kukukuku… Indeed. Now it is my turn."

Momon stepped forward. "I am Momon. Adamantine Ranked Adventurer from the Dragon Kingdom. I know. You don't trust me. You don't know me. But I promise I rather die on the battlefield saving the innocent and fighting against our foe than letting our enemy get away with that what he is done." Because of his collected clear, inspiring speech and tone. The Kingdom's adventurer's teams started to admire him.

They all started to cheer.

[Message]: And the Oscar goes….. To Momongaaaa. Congratulate him, people. He deserves it. Because he is the King of the buulshiit!"

[Message]: "Thank you! Thank you! Everyone. But I could not do it without my friends. Sush. Emotion suppression kicked again."

Evileye eyes brimmed like a schoolgirl under her mask. "They are soo cool!"

"Then how about Blue Rose? Will they be going in with Raidyn-san and Momon-san?"

"...I will be accompanying Raidyn and Momon-sama... as the two of them makes their entry, so I have been focusing on restoring my mana up until now."

"Then let me ask another question. I'd like to ask the Warrior Captain something. What about the nobles' house troops and warriors? Blue Rose has already lost two members. You should be taking their place in battle. Couldn't you lead those troops into battle, and let Blue Rose handle the task of clearing the path for Raidyn and Momon-san?"

"Answer us!" yelled an another one from the crowd.

The Warrior captain stepped forward and answered. "The house troops are responsible for protecting their masters' estates, and the soldiers look to the defense of the capital. And the warriors I lead are tasked with defending the royal family."

"Are you telling us the Great Gazef Stronoff. The Warrior Captain does not dare step on the battlefield."

The air had changed. It was filled with hostility and frustration. Gazef's words were correct, but even if they understood them on a logical level, it was still unacceptable on an emotional level. The ones who earned their coin in blood were the adventurers, and they were already prepared to sell their lives dearly in the coming battle.

The nobles and royalty should have been the same way. Having taken the money of the masses, they should be rushing to their rescue instead of holding up safe in their castles. Especially since they were taking the Kingdom's strongest man as their bodyguard. What the hell?

Hostility against the nobles and the royalty filled the air. Gazef took a step back. He understood that at this point, anything he said would only sound like an excuse.

Lakyus wanted to speak, but Raidyn interjected. "Please don't be too harsh with the Warrior Captain. As a Warrior Captain, his duty requires protecting the royal family whatever it takes. I am sure if the time comes. He will make his appearance on the battlefield. I am right Warrior Captain?" Raidyn glanced towards Gazef.

Gazef stood dumbfounded for a moment. "Why did she risking her reputation by protecting me. This does not make sense."

Then collected his thought and replied. "As you say Raidyn-dono." He bowed his head.

The fellow adventurers murmured for a moment then nodded their head. Accepting Raidyn judgment.

"Thank you Raidyn." Lakyus continued.

"You should know. The one paying to gather you all here is not the royal family, but Princess Renner herself, out of her own private sources. The one who brought Momon-san here was Marquis Raeven. Although he is not here tonight because he is on guard against the attacking demons."

"...Climb. I have one more task for you!"

"Yes, Princess!"
"There might be survivors in the middle of the enemy territory. Please rescue them."

Murmured whispers rose up from the adventurers. "Impossible," "it's too much," that sort of thing. Entering the heart of the enemy formation and looking for survivors wasn't so much dangerous as outright suicidal. And escorting powerless civilians back out through a war zone was practically impossible.

Climb answered immediately.

"Yes, your majesty! I will stake my life to accomplish any task you ask of me!"

Everyone looked at Climb as though he were mad.

"We would like to volunteer to go with Climb-kun!" raised his hand Ninya. Nfirea did not know what did his partner said a moment before. "What?" Then he realized what his adventuring companion has done. "What?!"

Everyone glared to the two boys besides Raidyn.

"It will be a dangerous mission where you most likely die. Do you two still want to go?"

The flames of sturdiness burned in Ninya's eyes. "I will prove Raidyn-chan. I am worthy!"

"I am sure Princess. If there are civilians who are still alive, we will rescue them!"
"Ninya are you sure?" inquired Raidyn in a cold tone.

Ninya gulped and turned to his secret love. "I am sure! Please permit me to go! I know I can't go with you to fight with the demon. At least let me participate in this mission."

Raidyn mouth curled into a smile. "You two can go. Take care of yourselves. I trust you two enough. And the two of you are big boys after all."

Every adventurer gasped in the room.

Nfirea just mumbled in an incomprehensible tone because he still processed his fellow hero signed him into a suicide mission. "Is he crazy?" He murmured in a low tone.

Renner smiled and nodded. "So be it. You two can accompany Climb."

Brain Unglaus stepped forward. "...Princess, Climb, and the two boys are just three men, and there might be some risk. Will you permit me to accompany them?"

"Will that be all right, Brain Unglaus-sama?"

That name raised another commotion from the adventurers. The name of Brain Unglaus was one which nobody who valued strength would ever forget.

"Ah, it's no problem for me."

"Then I will be counting on you four. May I now ask the various party leaders to step forward?"

The leaders of the groups stepped forward and introduced themselves. Everything went according to the plan what was composed by the two players.

People who looked like they were second-in-command for their adventuring parties were coming up to Ainz and Esdeath in twos and threes to speak to them. Mostly Raidyn received these requests due she operated in the Kingdom, not Momon.

After them. Lower ranked adventurers came to introduce themselves and their parties to the two adventurers. The two of them greeted all of them with equal care. After all, this event was like exchanging business cards. After all, when you are doing business with someone. The first impression could be the watershed between a successful trade or failure.

The two of them paid attention every newcomer. It was not important to remember all of their names. But to at least remember the party names and their ranks. Of course, it was not really important for Momon and Nabe. But it was important for Raidyn. After all. She operated in the Kingdom, not Ainz as said before.

However, it was an excellent opportunity for the leader of the Ainz Ooal Gown to strengthen his memory what was a good leader's main quality. "Those long hours' practice before the mirror finally paid out. Huh… Being leader is mentally exhausting."

[Message]: "Pink hair. Well, that's new. I mean there was a lot of players in YGGDRASILL who made his/her character hair pink. But I never thought I meet someone in a world where the people still in the middle ages."

[Message]: "Why are you surprised? This is a fantasy world after all." Said Momonga through his mental

link.

[Message]: "Still. Who wants to dye his hair pink? No offense Momonga…."

[Message]: "Hey! What do you mean by that!?"

[Message]: "Sorry. I thought you died your hair back then. Oh, sorry I forgot. Now you are bald as a badger."

[Message]: "And you are…. You are like a white cucumber…"

[Message]: "That was the weakest comeback what I ever heard..." she rolled her eyes.

[Message]: "Oh… But you use cucumber often, don't you? You pervert. Kukukuku." Momonga's emotion suppression kicked.

[Message]: "You speak gibberish tooth fairy!"

[Message]: "Said snow white which is still strolling around Nazarick in the form of a little child."

[Message]: "Hey! I do that because of practical reasons…"

[Message]: "And what's those possible reasons?" inquired Momonga.

Esdeath thought about the reasons for a moment. [Message]: "It is easier to keep clean, I can ride in your neck, and you will never find me if we play hide and seek."

[Message]: "Add one. You will never ride in my neck after what happened last time. Add two. I am the mighty ruler of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick. You had no chance against me in Hide and Seek. I just order my subordinates to find you."

[Message]: "That's cheating!"

[Message]: "A wizard never cheats. Just re-evaluate the rules. You will get extra paperwork after we finished with this mission."

[Message]: "What?! Why?"

[Message]: "Because you were a bad little girl. That's why."

[Message]: "I hate you so much!"

[Message]: "I hate you too my loyal companion. I hate you too…"

Adventurers in the capital really were a different thing altogether. Just because there were so many people in the capital, that didn't mean you had to go so far just to stand out.

During Ainz' life as a salaryman, pink hair would have been considered strange, but in this world, even kids could dye their hair.

Ainz and Esdeath got a moment of pause between the waves of adventures and sighed internally. Ninya and Nfirea too got a few adventurers who spoke with them. Mostly from the girl adventurers. It seemed Ninya courageous volunteering to a suicide mission.

Nfirea leads Ninya to the sidelines for a moment. "Why did you do that? Why did you volunteer a suicide mission?"

"This is my only chance..." he gritted his teeth.

"To what?" Nfirea frowned to his companion.

"To raise her attention towards me. According to the book. Females instinctively attracted towards the strong. I can't see Momon-dono take her..."

Nfirea sighed. "Ok. I help you. But you owe me."

Ninya eyes widened. "Really?"

Nfirea nodded affirmatively.

Because of Nabe radiating hostile aura towards the adventurers, no one really wanted to speak with her.

After a while, the introductions were almost over. There were only a few adventurer parties remained from the lowest ranks. Esdeath recognized something from the side of her eyes. She looked towards it. It was Gazef who watched her. Recognizing him, she waved towards him what the Warrior Captain requited with a simple approving nod.

"Raidyn-dono, Momon-dono. Could you come over here for a moment?" asked them Evileye.

"A moment and we will finish with the introductions Evileye-san." Said Raidyn. "Ninya-san, Nfiria-san. Please take my place until I finish." the two young man nodded and apologized from the adventurers who they spoke.

"Nabe, take my place and meet them. I'll come over after I finish up here." Nabe nodded and followed the two boys.

The nearby listeners' eyes went wide.

Soon the introductions ended and the Adventurers Guildmaster clapped her hands to get everyone's attention.
"Attention! The operation will conclude in one-hour time. Please relayed the message to your party members who could not be here. After we leave this place. Just stick with me.

Scene Change: Invasion Point Beta:

Raidyn, Evileye, Momon and Nabe stride through the night sky. Because of their low flying attitude, no enemy flyer unit really cared about them. As the four of them flew through the skies, Momon recognized something from the corner of his eyes. Momon carried by Evileye and Nabe due he was unable to fly because of the use of [Perfect Warrior].

"Raidyn. Look there." He pointed in the direction of the soldiers on the ground. "What do your elf eyes see?"

"The Uruks turn northeast. They taking the hobbits to Isengard!"

"What?" Evileye turned to her.

"I said in code language. The demons will overwhelm the guards in any moment…"

"Oh… I see…" Evileye nodded. "You must teach me that code language. It sounds very useful."

Raidyn smiled. "Oki-Doki."

"Stop here." Commanded Momon. All of them stopped.

"Evileye. Release the bomb!"

"What?"

"Throw Momon-kun in the middle of the battle."

"B-But…" Shuttered Evileye.

Momon nodded. "Do it."

Evileye, albeit with a feeling of uneasiness released Momon. Nabe did the same. And he started to fall towards the demons under them.

"Let's have some fun." Raidyn lunged forward the battle after Momon and summoned a few blue spectral blades what appeared around her immediately. She overtook Momon in the air so she arrived earlier than him.

The two falling player speed just grew and grown. The four of them did not fly in great height. But it was enough to kill any normal humans.

The demons who broke through the barricade encircled the guards. A strangled cry came up from them, for they knew they would indeed die here.

It was like the demons mocking the guards due to their foolish resistance. The demons only took one-one guards after each charge.

One of the guards looked to the sky, praying for his god to save him.

The demon prepared to its strike. The strike what was so strong it could easily break an average human in two fallen towards his head. He held a spear however that weak stick could not possibly stop the oversized demons.

As he finished the most likely last prayers, something happened. Instead of the devil made him into a paste. Several blue colored magic swords made the huge beast step back then fallen to its knees. Then died.

The guard eyes widened. He doesn't want to believe he survived. Maybe because of his praying to the Six Gods. Or something else? He got his answer. "Hey! Are you all right." He heard a female voice above him. Then a big thud as a black-clad warrior just sliced in an another huge demon as he finished his failing attack.

"Y-Yes…." He answered.

The female figure who still floated above him tilted her head. "That's good. Please fall back behind the barricade. My colleague and I will take over this messy situation. You just hold the line behind the barrier. Ok?"

"O-Ok…"

She tilted her head and smiled. "Thank you! Your cooperation is appreciated."

With that, she turned around and charged into the battle to help out the black warrior who already started his massacre amongst the demons.

"W-Who was she….?" Shuttered the guard. However, his comrades pulled him back. "We are luck. We can see a legend in action." Said one of the guards as he smiled.

"What do you mean? Who is she?" His comrade looked at him with a dumbfounded expression. "You live under a rock? She is Raidyn the Spell sword. The Kingdom's newest adamantine ranked adventurer."

Back with the two adamantine ranked adventurer.

"Seriously. This is just disappointing Momon-kun. Only sending Hellhounds… This is just annoying. Bleee…"

The dark warrior nodded. "I agree. Even twice this much would be not enough."

The Hellhounds surrounded the duo from all sides. The black clad warrior and the hooded beauty stood shoulder to shoulder. The two of them killed the creatures faster than anything could count them. But it seemed when they cut one down. Two come to take their places. Momon used his pure physical strength combined with his amazing ability to cut down the demons. While Raidyn used her blue floating spectral blades and her huge Ultra Greatsword to annihilate whoever stand in her way,

It seemed for a moment the demonic hordes overwhelming the two adventurers. It was a brutal strategy Overwhelming the opponent with just pure numbers. It worked most of the cases. But it seemed not now.

Despite his seemingly heavy armor. Momon had an incredible move set. Many pirouettes followed each other in the air what made him looks like a whirling tornado of death. It was a very dangerous move set and strategy. Every warrior knew this. One misstep, one little error in the calculation, or any small dazzlement should cause loss of the balance. What could led the warrior fall to the ground. And that meant certain death in the battlefield.

But it seemed Momon did not bother with such things. He just continued his attacks according to his seemingly reckless wild style.

The anguish on the face of the guards was only natural, but none of them knew what true power was.

The gigantic swords slashed and killed, displacing air in their wake. Blue glowing energy swords tore the flesh of the beasts and another massive sword what was adorned with a partial skull in the joint of the blade, and the handle tore holes in the middle of the demonic hordes.

Everyone present was speechless.

The duo barely started fighting. But the two of them seemed to killed more demons than all of the guards combined.

Even though both of them wore a suit of sturdy plate armor and a metallic suit, the hellhounds had sharp teeth, and claws that could rend steel. And there would be no way to survive unscathed after being attacked by that many hellhounds.

In the guards' eyes, they imagined their would-be saviors taking countless wounds before them.

The remaining hellhounds were cut apart; their bodies flung far into the distance by the power of the two adventurers swings. Any hellhounds who could still move were long gone.

"Who is up to the next round!" Said the woman cheerfully as the two of them finished with the hellhounds.

"Next up... Devourers and Gazer Devils, huh. How boring." Replied the dark warrior after her.

The strike followed strike. Spell followed spell. The black warrior and the slender woman did not stop even for a moment to regain their balance. The two of them just used their momentum to accelerate themselves forward. It was like a dance of death. Equally, awe-inspiring and horrific. The guards could not take their eyes from the duo. Their dance of death made them mesmerized. They became addicted to the sight. All of them became addicted to death.

"Im-Impossible…"

The murmuring from one guard represented the words in their hearts. Or rather, after seeing the majesty of this display, they had nothing else to say.

The two of them strode towards the next pack of demons. Did not caring about the horde of Devourers and Gazer Devils charging towards their direction. If there was no demon invasion. The normal people could think the two of them just taking a light walk in the park. Of course, because of the two adventurer's equipment, no one would think they are simple passers-by.

The guards did not even dare to say a word. Not to stop them. All of them knew. They have no power here. They would be just in the way. Every guard wants to believe in their eyes. Yet, it seemed they were in the dream. The brain of the simple soldiers could not have wanted to accept the truth yet. The fact that the two heroes saved their lives and just massacre demons like nothing happened.

Yet, it happened before the guard's very eyes. Swords swung and the creatures disgusting insides poured out.

The only thing mere mortals could do was watch the back of the dynamic duo do what they seemingly made of. Destruction amongst the ranks of the enemy.

Unable to bear the encroaching pressure that came from the man approaching him so casually, the red-eyed demon roared and leaped at him.

One flash.

The dismembered parts of the corpse flew in all directions.

Momon had not broken his stride for even a single second. He continued walking, as though the red-eyed demon had never existed, with an ease like he was alone in the wilderness.

The other beast jumped towards the petite girl. Who was looking left and right like she did not care the leaping demon before her. While resting her massive sword what dwarfed her on her left shoulder.

"...Incredible..." shuttered one of the guards.

As though reacting to the guards' words, the Devourer opened its maw. It was like the jaws of those snakes which could open up and swallow their prey whole. In its depths, one could see the flickers of fires within. The tormented expressions intensified on the faces pressed out from the inside of its body, and theirs were the screams of souls condemned to a fate worse than death.

The Devourer could consume the souls of its victims to produce a wail that would terrify and kill any living creature.

The girl lazily pointed towards the Devourer with her index finger and with a move what resembled a firing a gun she said. "Bang!" The demon exploded from inward to outside. Raining the creature inside contents and blood everywhere.

"If it can't scream like Granma after you ate all of the cookies. Then there is no problem." Said Raidyn smiled while turned towards the guards and her index finger steamed.

Some guard even vomited because their stomach could not keep up with the sea of blood and insides.

The guards cried out. It was the joyous sound of men who had been granted a miraculous reprieve from death.

Though bathed in praise, the two of them took no notice.

"...That was the last.." sighed Raidyn.

Momon turned towards the guards. "We will go to take out the enemy leader. Until then, please protect the civilians behind you. We are counting on you guys."

The two magic casters descended from the sky to pick Momon up. As he rose into the air. Raidyn shot them a salute. "Hold the line guys! We are counting on your work."

With that, she used her [Fly] spell and Followed Momon and the two magic casters.

As the guards watched their saviors receding forms, they could not say a word.

If heroes like that put their trust in them, then there would be no complaints at all about defending this area with their lives.

"Oi! Get the roadblocks up! We need to get ready to stop the enemy's advance! Worry about what happens when it gets torn down later!"

Scene Change: Battle with Jaldabaoth and the Chef

"I see them." Noted Evileye.

Looking ahead, one could see the masked demon standing in the center of the plaza, making no attempt to hide. Beside him stood an another masked figure who helped escape Jaldabaoth previously. Yes, Evileye clearly remembers him back then. She could no see any demons around them, but she was sure there are more of them.

The two of them realizing their presence turned around and bowed like it was like some show.

"This is most likely a trap, what's now?" she turned toward the two adamantine ranked adventure.

"It doesn't matter what awaits us. We just have to smash it all."

"I like the way you are thinking Momon-kun. "Raidyn smiled.

"It seems it's starting right on schedule." The demon raised his hand, and from behind, the sound of drums and battle cries rang out. His Butler uniformed companion prepared his weapons. It seemed he carry two machete-like weapons with glowing edges and his mask resembled a hockey mask. There was no other chance left. Either they defeat Jaldabaoth, and his mysterious sidekick or the city will be gone forever.

"Which one of you want Momon-kun?" asked Raidyn.

"I will take Jaldabaoth. Please take care of his sidekick."
"As you wish." She grabbed her large sword handle.

Momon turned to Evileye and Nabe. "We will leave the rest of them you two."

"You can count on us!"

Nabe bowed her head.

"We will defeat the baddies, and we will come back triumphant don't worry. After all, we are professionals. This is what we do. Beating baddies."

"Understood, we will do our best."

The four of them landed in front of Jaldabaoth. Evileye looked around, and from a house adjoining the plaza, a maid appeared.

She wore a mask like the last time she saw her, with a fixed expression. But Evileye could feel the hatred directed at her.

"There's probably more than one of them."

After their arrival, more maid outfitted woman appeared similar what was the insect maid.

They were all wearing different kinds of maid uniforms.

And they numbered...

"...Four of them?!" Evileye gasped. The insect maid alone was bad enough, but now there are five of them.

There was a total of five people with fighting power comparable to herself. Two against five would be far too great a difference in power. The battle seemed unwinnable from the very start.

"Damn it! I underestimated Jaldabaoth's forces!" she gritted her teeth under her mask.

Jaldabaoth's maybe was weaker than Raidyn and Momon, and the two of them possibly could defeat him. But then the maids appeared, and Evileye did not know anything the other suited masked man who held some kind of strange glowing daggers in his hand.

"Go on Evileye-san. We are counting your and Nabe-chan's support." Raidyn glanced back to Evileye.

Evileye nodded firmly. "You can count on us!"

She smiled and turned back towards her opponent.

The dark warrior and the exotic beauty grabbed their weapon and charged towards their opponent. The two of them left a big sound explosion and a crater in their wake as they charged into the battle.

Evileye rebuked the part of her that wanted to reach out a hand to them. She knew she would not stand a chance against those two. Whatever, she tries. After she saw what happened Gagaran and Tia. The petite mage knew she had no chance against such monsters as the demon Jaldabaoth.

She clearly felt her two adamantine ranked adventurer college placed their trust in her. She can't let them down. Whatever it takes she will hold the line until the two hero won the battle. Even if it means her and Nabe death. Evileye felt fear like never before. What if Momon and Raidyn failed? What will happen the people in the city?

She apparently knew if even one of them defeated their opponents surely use the opportunity to help out either the maids or each other.

The other masked figure from the previous meeting seemed on one level with Jaldabaoth. One of him was bad enough. But there was two of him now. In this desperate circumstances what could you possibly do? Nothing else just pushes forward until you win. Either you break the walls before you or the wall break you. And that was not an acceptable option in this situation.

It was all in. Either both heroes won their own battle. Or they will go down together.

Come to think of it, Momon definitely said something from behind his back. If it were Evileye and Nabe, they would definitely be able to hold the enemy back until w won, something like that.

A fire blazed up from within the depths of Evileye's heart.

"Then here I come, De... demon!" She yelled as charged towards her opponents.

Raidyn and Momon charged towards their opponents with full force. "[Aspect of the Devil: Archdemon's Wrist]!" the demon used his ability and his wrist enlarged. He blocked the strike of Momon with his huge wrists.

Raidyn was not idle while her fellow adamantine ranked adamantine fought. She used her massive sword to strike forward the other suited figure who used his agility to evade her seemingly fast attack. Of course, this was all an act from the side of the four of them. Because Evileye was present, they had to make her think they fought against each other with all of their strength.

As Raidyn and the machete wielding figure clashed. The dark warrior Momon and Jaldabaoth did the same. Their forms seemingly phased in and out from the existence. No normal human eyes could follow them anymore.

The machete-wielding figure seemingly countered Raidyn every move. There was no random act among his moves. It seemed everything that he did accord to his own cold calculated way.

The two of them clashed together their blades one after another. No pause, no missteps just the perfect dance between two opponents. The battle started to resemble more and more like an actual conversation. A chat between two friends. Or more likely compliment towards each other skills.

Above them, Evileye and Nabe fought with their opponents. While Nabe fended off three maids. Evileye fought two of them. The two magic caster despite their clear disadvantage held themselves firmly. Seemingly Nabe held herself better than Evileye. But the petite mage did not let herself. She fought with all of her might. Never giving up Never retorting. Never retreating.

Just pushing forward. Knocking down the walls of her limits. Not caring about what will happen if she loses her head. She only watched one thing. To do not reveal her true identity to Momon and Raidyn. Evileye knew. If she shows her true nature. Her real self. The monster what she had become two hundred years ago. Momon, Raidyn and everyone else most likely will see her as a monster that has to be destroyed. Even if she survive their wrath. She will remain alone again. She feared this more than anything else.

This is why she always wore the ring what hid her true self from the world. Only her companions knew what she is real. Her true self. Landfall. The monster who destroyed a nation.

The fight started to reach its climax as the sides began to use more vicious attacks against each other after each second.

Jaldabaoth used his demonic distorted long limbs and sharp claws to damage Momon's armor. What the dark warrior blocked with his huge great swords and in response strike back towards his opponent.

Meanwhile, Raidyn fought with her calm, collected and silent enemy. The strike followed strike. The masked young man used his machetes to stab towards Raidyn. In response, Raidyn used her sword and magic to repel the attacks and strike back.

It seemed the sides did not found grasp or opening in each other defenses.

Suddenly Momon and Jaldabaoth crashed into the nearby house. Raidyn seeing her guildmate disappearance from the battlefield decided to reposition their battle so the two of them can speak in a relaxed environment.

The two of them stopped. The masked man raised his weapons before himself. "Your name is Chef right?"

The man just nodded. Saying nothing. His posture was flawless. "Please forgive me what I will plan to do." She threw her sword away and with an incredible speed she lunged towards the masked man. The ground under her feet shattered, and a wave of wind followed her.

When she reached him with a sharp move, she grabbed his face with such strength that would immediately grind to dust to a normal human skull. Luckily her opponent was not human, and she knew well enough how much her creation could withstand. She designed him to be able to fight without a head because his central processor unit does not position in his skull.

The two of them flew to the other end of the battlefield. Evileye just watched the corner of her eyes what Raidyn is doing with her opponent. "S-she just threw away her weapon!?"

As the two of them finally finished their flight what Raidyn momentum caused. The young looking man finally stopped. "Is Nigredo did the necessary anti spy measurements?" asked Esdeath.

The masked man nodded. "Yes, she did. She even provided us illusions while we speak. So that meat bag does not get suspicious while we are talking."

Esdeath nodded. "Great work!" she showed a thumbs up while smiled.

"However, it is surprising to see you here Creator-sama. If I may ask you what you and Ainz-sama are planned."

"Shit, what should I tell him? Bullshit time!"

"We just came to check everything goes according to Demiurge's plan and according to Ainz-san. It is an excellent opportunity to raise our adventurer personas fame even more."

"I see… Ainz-sama indeed the wisest. Please don't take this as an offense. I am only your humble servant after all. If it offended, you or Ainz-sama please just order my execution and will terminate myself immediately!"

Esdeath released a weak chuckled. "None was taken. After all, Ainz-san is the brain, and I am the brawl. It is only natural for you to praise him because of his clear thinking."

Zero nodded. "Thank you."
"Ainz-san did not explain me his plan. Could you explain to me what you and Demiurge planned tonight?"

Zero nodded. "Of course Creator-sama."

He started his explanation. "Demiurge planned four primary objectives for tonight. The first was, the goal of attacking the warehouse district was to secure the wealth and goods within and transport them to Nazarick. To facilitate this, we asked Shalltear to open 'Gates' in front of the warehouses, and let Pandora's Actor handle the matter of transportation."

Esdeath nodded. "Crafty. The second?"

Zero continued. "Our second objective is to cover up our involvement in our attacks on the hideouts of the Eight Fingers in the area. As Ainz–sama and you Creator-sama have no doubt surmised, a direct attack on the Eight Fingers' hideout would arouse suspicion. If we are unlucky, it might even lead to the exposure of Sebas and his contacts. As such, we expanded the area of operations to make others think our real aims lay elsewhere."

"Our third objective was to transport as many meat bags as we can in Nazarick. Their further uses will be discussed later with Demiurge. This also helps us to build the infamy of the demon Jaldabaoth and his companion. The Chef."

"So you create a villain duo. Crafty. But what will be the fate of the kidnapped citizens? You transport elder, young and adult too? I hope you two will not planning anything devious."

Zero bowed before his creator. "Of course not, Creator-sama. We would never dare do such things."

Esdeath was no longer human. However, her angelic side felt some kind of pity towards those people whose are transported to Nazarick. Her angelic side wanted to save them. But her demonic side just wanted to see the humans suffer. As she called them. 'Delicious little worms. 'Her demonic side did what was expected from the demons. Despised humans.

She massaged hr nose temple to relieve the stress. "I hope those who did not offend Nazarick or Ainz-san will be dealt quickly and efficiently."

"As always Esdeath-sama." he bowed his head.

"Where these demons came from anyway? I don't remember we had so many demon servants in Nazarick. Did the two of you used the resources of Nazarick to create them?"

"We would never dare to do such thing Esdeath-sama! They are mere of summons of Demiurge's Evil Lords."

"Ok. Right. By the way. What was the fourth objective."

"Demiurge did not explain it to me. He said it is still in the development period. But I am sure he will gladly explain it to you when you return to Nazarick."

Esdeath nodded. Then grabbed her head as an another wave of a headache and nausea came to her.

"Why now!? Why could it be after the mission!?"

Her creation rushed towards her. "Esdeath-sama! Are you alright!"

She vomited a little blood. Seeing his creator blood Zero was completely frightened. His face twisted under the mask into a terrified expression. "I will call Demiurge immediately! You need medical attention!"

"I will be okay. Just a moment…" she took deep breaths.

Zero wanted to use his [Message] spell to tell Demiurge. But Esdeath grabbed his hand.

"Don't dare tell anything about this! Not to Demiurge, not to Ainz-san, not to anyone! If you dare to tell anyone about it. I will disown you!"

"B-But…" Zero shuttered. He was terrified hearing his creator may disown him if he tells anyone about her condition. But her master's wellbeing was more important than his own existence.

"Please…" A few tears rolled down from her face. "If not else do this for me…"

Zero nodded. "I understand. But if this gets worse. I had to report about your condition to Ainz-sama."

Esdeath nodded as she stood up. Her sudden sickness subsided. "I understand. Could you damage my armor? It would be pretty suspicious if I came out from the battle without scratches."

Zero nodded. Esdeath unequipped her armor and handed to Zero who damaged it. After this, she reequipped her armor. "Then continued our fight! Don't hold back now Zero-san. I am counting on you."

Zero nodded, and Raidyn equipped the sword handle what was strapped on her belt. As she poured mana into the runed great sword handle, it came to life, and a long yellow-colored energy blade appeared from it. She made a few slash with it in the air. It gave away typical lightsaber sounds.

"Wush. Wush. Laser Sword."

She joked as the two of them lunged against each other and returned to the battlefield.

As Zero and Esdeath returned to the foreseeable area of the battlefield where Nabe and Evileye still fought against the five maids.

Evileye's eyes widened. She saw Raidyn who wore her heavily damaged metallic suit and in her hand a glowing sword what was seemingly made from pure magic.

"What kind of magic artifact she used to create that sword?" As she thought about this. A person was blown through the air, and the building collapsed behind him. She looked at the person's direction. She prayed in her heart it will be Jaldabaoth and not Momon.

Evileye did not need to breathe, but she still held her breath.

Momon lunged after Jaldabaoth immediately and continued his fight. As in Raidyn's case. His jet black plate armor was heavily worn down thanks to the intense fight. It was evident from the torn suits of the two masked figure and the two adamantine ranked adventurer armor and Raidyn weathered long coat. Their struggle was an intense one.

Evileye's body was filled with joy, and she tightly clenched her fists. The two of them seemingly dominated their own match.

Momon and Raidyn lowered their weapons.

"Well, that was fun. How shall I put it... it felt real. I could feel myself really battling with you. So this is what it feels like to be the vanguard... in the past, I used to overpower all my opponents in melee combat, so I didn't feel anything, but now I feel like a berserker. So, bringing out your full power shouldn't be a problem for you, no?"

"Do you worst. Chef-san. I was expecting a great fight. Don't hold back."

Telling one's opponent to use their full strength was a grave insult. Thinking about this, Evileye shook her head. Perhaps this was Momon's and Raidyn's true desire. The desire of the strong. To find someone who can fight with them toe to toe.

"Then, please allow us to do so."

The two masked figure changed their posture. Raidyn grabbed her other sword what she previously threw away. Now the petite girl held two equal long and robust Ultra great swords in her hand. One of them was the magic-fuelled energy sword. The other was her other physical sword.

As she watched them, Evileye was filled with the pride of knowing that she understood Momon and Raidyn better than Jaldabaoth.

The two masked figure charged towards Momon and Raidyn. Momon answered with it with his own charge. However, it seemed Raidyn just stood in one place as she held her weapons before her. Evileye heard she murmuring something. "Maybe, she is preparing some kind of strong magic?" she thought.

"Curse defines, their children's do. And their children's forever true… I called the blood lust forever be…"
"[Silent Cast: Activate Enchantment: Holy Devastator]" her sword started to radiate white holy light. Raidyn lunged forward to the other masked person.

Their exchange was like a replay of the time Evileye had first met Raidyn and Momon. The two adventurers high-speed, constant attacks were deflected by extended claws and the strange short swords of the Chef. Since they could parry Momon's greatswords, the hardness of those claws must be beyond human understanding.

"[Aspect of the Demon: Hellfire Mantle]."

As the spear struck, a roaring flame blazed up from the ground, and a massive shockwave erupted from Jaldabaoth.

"Kuh!"

In order not to be blown away by the large displacement of air, Evileye crouched down and tried to weather the storm. Fortunately, because she wore her mask, she was able to keep her eyes open during the tempest.

Looking ahead, she saw Momon raising his swords, which stood unwavering in the wildly blowing wind. Then, as though he was going to cleaved the air in two as well. He charged at Jaldabaoth once more.

As Momon swung down on him, Jaldabaoth caught the sword with both hands. Smoke rose from his palms, and the metal between his fingers started to melt.

"So, you're able to melt a weapon like this… the ability has gotten stronger."

Raidyn and the Chief continued their clash without pause. Seemingly the glowing edges of the machetes of the suited man left burnt on her huge weapon. But they did not affect her energy sword.

"These two are incredible..."

Evileye was terrified. She already knew how strong the two of them were, but her body was still trembling uncontrollably.

"[Frost Pain Modified— Icy Burst]!" Momon used his sword enchantment to extinguish the Hellfire around him.

A wave of frigid air rushed forth from the weapon, dropping the surrounding temperature instantly. Although it seemed as though the cold could even freeze fire, Jaldabaoth's hellfire burned hotter than normal flames. Still, for a moment, the heat was suppressed.

The two adamantine warriors armor surface melted into an unrecognizable mass losing their shine and the two demon tuxedo was shredded completely.

The four of them who had dueled each other in a domain beyond the grasp of humanity seemed like old friends to Evileye.

"Your puissance is unparalleled."

"Indeed, so is yours, Jaldabaoth."

"In that case, might I make a proposition?"

Momon raised his chin to Jaldabaoth, as though telling him to carry on.

"If I concede this battle and the victory to yourselves, perhaps we can both take a step back from the edge? Or rather, to be more precise, We will withdraw ourselves from this incident, and I hope you two will cease your pursuit of ourselves."

"Why do you propose this Jaldabaoth-san? Are you frightened?"

Demiurge smile under his mask. "No, I assure you, Purple Tulip. It is not the case. It is simply not beneficial to us to remain here anymore. You know what will happen if the two of you start to pursue us."

Evileye's cry was fueled by intense emotion. For someone who had filled the capital with this much chaos and death, a plea for mercy and forgiveness was nothing short of shameless.

Raidyn lowered her head. "How unfortunate. But. So be it."
Momon nodded. "It is alright."

Under her mask, Evileye stared goggle-eyed at the two adventurers. She could not understand why Raidyn and Momon, who was in such a superior position, was accepting Jaldabaoth's terms.

Sensing Evileye's confusion, Demiurge shrugged his shoulders. Much as she hated to admit it, he looked quite stylish while he did.

"It baffles me why Momon and Raidyn-san would bring an air-headed woman like yourself along. A moment's consideration should reveal why the two of them accepted my proposition."

The other so far silent figure turned to Evileye and started to speak.

"You are really stupid aren't you? To keep away the two of them from our operation, we drew them here. Even if Momon and Raidyn-san defeat us. They will be not able to stop in time our minions to destroy the capital and kill every denizen in it. You weak minded meat bag." Disgust radiated from his words.

Evileye felt as though she had been impaled through the spine with an icicle.

Jaldabaoth chuckled. "Indeed. As my colleague said. Either you defeat us and let the capital burn in the fires of hell, or you let us go, and we withdraw our forces. The choice is yours."

Although Marquis Raeven was patrolling inside the capital with his troops, she honestly could not believe he could deal with all the demons Jaldabaoth had in store. A similar conclusion awaited if the demons started taking hostages from throughout the city.

Evileye considered their options, but in the end, there were no other options just accept the proposal. She nodded.

"Then, since this outsider has accepted it as well, we will begin our withdrawal, though it is a shame we could not recover our objective. I pray we will never meet again. Come Chief. Let us retreat." His silent companion bowed his head in the direction of Momon and Raidyn and disappeared. Followed him Jaldabaoth and the maids.

"T-They are gone…" Shuttered Evileye.

Raidyn sheathed her massive sword and deactivated her yellow energy blade. With a sharp move, she reattached its handle to her belt. "Well, that means we have won."

Evileye floated in the sky, her eyes looking to where the wall of fire had been. Nothing was left; only a slightly livelier patch of the night skyline.

The fact remained that Jaldabaoth and the Chef existed, two demons with power surpassing the Demon Gods by far. And against them stood Momon and Raidyn, two top-ranked adventurers. What would the world make of these two once the word spread, and how would the world change after that?

Evileye shook her head to scatter the thoughts which had blended into a big pile inside it. She would consider these things slowly, in the future.

The petite mage landed on the ground and ran towards the two heroes. "Uwaaa. You two actually won! I can't believe it! As expected from Raidyn and Momon-sama!" she jumped up and down like an excited fangirl.

The two adamantine ranked adventurers looked at each other and sighed. She jumped into them and hugged the two of them while glanced towards Nabe. She smirked under her mask.

[Message]: "This girl is scary Momonga!"

[Message]: "I know right! She just jumped on us without hesitation."

"A little distance please." Evileye released the two of them and nodded.

The battle for the capital had ended.

At the moment a group of people appeared.

"Is that the Warrior Captain? With everyone else?"

Beside Gazef Stronoff were Lakyus and Tina. Gagaran and Tia were there too. Everyone was covered in grime, a testament to the vicious battles they had fought to get here. They looked around at the aftermath of the intense battle that had taken place here, and then, with an intake of breath, they all looked to Momon and Raidyn.

"Raidyn-sama and Momon-sama, lead us in a cry of victory."

"We just did our work. There is no need for that." Raidyn eliminated the praises.

Momon nodded. "As she said. We just did our duty."

The surprisingly human reaction from the superhuman warriors made Evileye laugh out loud.

"...but, doesn't that honor belong to the ones who did the most for us? Don't let this chance go by."

Raidyn looked to Momon and nodded. Both of them raised their swords and released a loud cry of victory.

"UOOOOOOOOOOOOHH!"

In the next moment, everyone in the plaza raised their fists to the sky, shouting in celebration of their victory. In everyone's mouths was the name of Raidyn and Momon, the heroes who had saved the nation.

Scene Change: Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick: Throne Room:

A few days later after the raid of the capital. A gathering happened on the tenth floor of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick. In the throne room, Ainz sat on his majestic throne. In his right side, Esdeath stood in her child form. She wore her usual black rune adorned together dress what she wore when she is in this form.

Albedo, Cocytus, Shalltear, Demiurge, Mare and Sebas was in the present due previously they welcomed Tsuare amongst the maids of Nazarick. The next point of the day why they gathered here was Clementine ascension to a Heteromorphic being. "Lead her in," Ainz commanded his servants.

The servant bowed and led Clementine in the Throne room. As the girl entered and looked around, she awed seeing the grand throne room of Nazarick. She was never here before. Being a former member of the Black Scripture, she saw many awe-inspiring things. But all of them was dwarfed with the throne room of Nazarick. Forty flags hung on the columns of the throne room and one behind the Ruler of Nazarick.

As the servants led her, she reached the first step of the stars before the throne. She kneeled down before the avatar of death.

"Raise your head." Commanded her Ainz.
The blonde woman raised her head. From her sadistic red eyes radiated the loyalty toward her new masters.

"Due to your services and information you gave us about this world. And because my Enforcer personally interceded in your case. We will fulfill your wish and ascend you into a higher level of existence. Anyone has any objections?" Ainz glanced to the floor guardians.
All of them shook their heads in unison.

Ainz nodded. "Very well. Esdeath step forward and start her ascension."

The little girl nodded and stepped before Clementine as she leaned closer she whispered in her ears.
"There is still time to withdraw. Are you sure you want it?"

Clementine smiled. "I am completely sure Esdeath-sama."

"Very well then." She started the ritual. A dome of blue dancing runes and magic appeared around her. Here ability began to charge. Approximately forty-five seconds later she raised her palm towards the kneeling Clementine face.

"[Super Tier Magic: Reincarnation]!"

Clementine gritted her teeth as an unbearable wave of pain went through her body. The [Super Tier Magic: Reincarnation] was a Super tier spell what allowed a player to change an NPC race and raise its level depending on the NPC quality.

It was not really popular due it cost five percent XP from the Person current level and it could not be used in combat or changing hostile NPC's or players race.

It was only for fun for players who had surplus XP to spend. Esdeath only has it because she found it amusing to sometimes change the quest giver NPC's races for example slimes.

Once she spent a month just to transform a whole village of elves into slimes. It was fun to see how the humanoid raced players mistaking them to invasion monsters trying to attack them just to be attacked by the nearby guards.

From Clementine back started to sprout two black feathered wings. Her pupils became vertically split. Her ears melted away and two cat ears appeared on the top of her head. While a cat tail sprouted from the upper section of her butt.

When the transformation ended the world shadowed before her eyes and fallen into the ground like a sack of potatoes. "It is done. From now on. She will be under your command."

Esdeath heard Ainz booming voice. Turned around and saluted him sarcastically. "Ok. Boss. I promise I will not break her."

Esdeath looked to Zero. "Zero. Please take care of her until she wakes up."

Zero bowed and placed his hand over his heart. "As you wish Esdeath-sama."

He grabbed Clementine body and disappeared.

Scene Change: Adventurer's Guild:

One month passed since the defeat of Jaldabaoth and the Chef. Everyone in the Kingdom praised Raidyn and Momon. And after the defeat of the Demon God Jaldabaoth, Momon and Nabe went back to the Dragon Kingdom immediately because of an another assignment from the Queen.

Raidyn stepped in the Adventurer's Guild of E-Rantel. As she stepped in everyone turned towards her and greeted her. She showed her usual happy expression and greeted them back while she headed towards the reception girl.

As she reached her, she asked. "Is Ainzach-san here? He sent me a message about he has an important mission for me."

The reception girl bowed her head. "Ah! Of course, Raidyn-sama! I will inform him your arrival immediately."

Raidyn smiled. "Take your time. But how many times I had to say. Just call me Raidyn. There is no need to be so formal."

The reception girl bowed her head. "As you wish…" with that she left to inform the Adventurers Guild Guild master.

While she waited. Many adventurers came to her for a handshake or just chat. A few minutes later the receptionist came back. "Ainzach-dono is receiving you." Raidyn nodded. Apologized from those who she can't receive and headed towards the stairs.

She reached the meeting room in the upstairs and opened it. "Ah. Raidyn-dono is here. It is good to see you! You came just in time!"

"Likewise Ainzach-dono." She nodded. She looked around. She saw three figure beside Ainzach. One of them was a black clad warrior. Momon, the Dark Hero. The other two was covered with a brown mantle, and a hood covered their faces.

"Momon-kun? It is good to see you again." She smiled.

Momon just nodded.

"Raidyn-dono. Let me introduce you…." Before Ainzach could finish his sentence, the two hooded figure jumped up and kneeled before Raidyn. The adamantine ranked adventurer in her confusion started to scratch her face. "Why do you kneel…"

The two hooded figure removed their hood. One of them was a simple elf the another one was a dark elf.

"Your majesty! The Elf Kingdom needs you! The Elf King require your presence!"

Ainz, Esdeath, and Ainzach just watched the impossible scene dumbfounded.

" Majesty!? What the FUCK!" thought Esdeath.

Omake:

In the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, a plan came into motion. Ever since their master's absence, the denizens of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick always worked relentlessly to show their loyalty towards their masters.

But due Ainz orders they had to pause their work for one day a week to release the stress. Everyone know overworking sooner or later led to a total mental breakdown. Ainz beside the weekly rest day ordered his Floor Guardians to at least spent a weekly rest day together once a month. Developing their social skills further in the process.

This was like a monthly team building game. Every CO knew it needed for the future development of their companies.

Albedo, Shalltear, Demiurge, Cocytus, Aura, Mare, Sebas and Zero was in the floor guardians meeting room.

"What do we play Demiurge?" inquired Shalltear.

Demiurge smiled as he shuffled the cards in his hands. "Today we play Supreme. Everyone know the rules of the Supreme?"

Everyone shook their head. Mare raised his hand "D-Demiurge-san. Could you please explain us the game?"

Demiurge nodded. "Of course Mare. Where should I begin? Ah… I got it. The game is about the clash of two armies locked in mortal struggle on a battlefield where the players are the leaders and the cards their forces. With four different factions offering unique combat styles and endless paths to victory, Supreme will be every adventurer's first choice when it comes to one-on-one card-based dueling after we conquer the world. Note it is still under development."

Everyone nodded.

"Take risks and think on your feet, strategize and deliver cunning combos, use strong magic and mighty Supreme Being Cards what I prepared with the help of Zero-san. Be the last one standing on the field of honor! And you will win. We made four factions already the others under development."

Cocytus nodded and berthed out a gust of cold wind. "Sounds. Good. A. Worthy. Game . For. A. Warrior."

"To begin a match, the game selects the starting player with a coin toss.

Each player receives ten random Supreme cards pulled from their decks. Players can discard two cards and redraw in the hope of receiving two superior cards. This is done once.

Players place a Unit Card on the Supreme Board in the dedicated combat row. Each player may play one card per turn unless a special ability enables them to do otherwise. Players may also utilize Weather Cards from the Neutral Deck.

Each unit Card has Strength Points that are added to each player's total. A player will win a round of Supreme when the player has more points than the other, and both players no longer have cards to play, or the other player passes their turn.

Matches are set with two wins out of 3 rounds. However, one faction has the unique ability what automatically win if there is a draw between the two sides." Demiurge continued the game and the faction's explanation. In the end, everyone nodded signing they understood.

"Splendid. We start with training duels. Everyone please took place in the contest tables. After the preparations finished. The live matches will start. Everyone who defeats his/her opponent will move up in the rank list. In the end, the two undefeated champion will duel against each other."

"What will be the prize for the winner?" asked Shalltear.

Demiurge smiled sinisterly. "A coupon to spend a day with the chosen Supreme Being. Ainz-sama personally bestowed it to me." Everyone gasped. Albedo and Shalltear bit their lower lips in their excitement.

"Let's start!" shouted Aura in her excitement.

An hour later the training duels ended, and the live matches started.

First round. Aura vs. Mare. Cocytus vs. Demiurge. Albedo vs. Shalltear. Sebas vs. Zero.

Winners of the first round. Mare, Demiurge, Albedo, Zero.

Shalltear sobbed on the corner. "There goes my chance to be with Ainz-sama... Sob-Sob."

Aura grabbed her brother and started to rub the top of his head with her fist. "Oi! What are you doing! You took away the chance for me to be with the Supreme Beings!"

"Onee-chan! This hurts! Please stop!" pleaded Mare.

Cocytus released a gust of Cold wind. "I. Lost," he said in a disappointed tone.

Demiurge smiled. "Don't despair Cocytus. Still, it was a close match. Next time you may beat me."

"Do. You. Really. Think. So?" The Archdevil nodded.

Zero and Sebas just bowed to each other. "Splendid match." The two of them said in a calm tone.

Next round: Mare against Albedo. Zero against Demiurge.

Winners: Mare and Demiurge.

Albedo jumped up. "What!? You cheated! I demand a rematch!" Mare curled up seeing the furious Albedo.

"Albedo. What is the problem?" Demiurge approached her from behind.

"Mare cheated!" she pointed to the small dark elf boy. Demiurge looked to Mare. "Mare did you cheated?"

Mare gulped and shook his head. "Well then. There is no problem."

"Demiurge!"

Demiurge turned back. "As I explained before. Cheating is prohibited. It is the part of the game. If the player does not get caught. Cheating is allowed."

Albedo glared to the timid Mare. "We will talk about this later..."

Mare gulped.

Zero just stood and shook while tried to suppress his anger. "There goes my chance to spend a day with Creator-sama. Damn! Why I am so simple minded."

Last Match: Demiurge vs. Mare.

Winner: Mare. Despite Demiurge Tricks. Mare innocence, cheating and a good run of the cards gained him an upper hand he was able to beat Demiurge.

The Arch Devil was completely stunned for a moment then his stunned expression replaced with his usual sadistic smile.

"Congratulations Mare. You managed to surprise me."

"Th-Thank you Demiurge-san…"

Demiurge nodded and turned to the spectators. "Don't despair. Ainz-sama bestowed me, an another token if you are interested. Of course, Mare will not play so the others will have a chance to win it."

Everyone nodded, and the duels started again.

Meanwhile from the Mirror of Remote viewing Ainz and Esdeath watched the Floor Guardians play.

"They are playing Gwent?" inquired Esdeath.

"What is Gwent?" asked Momonga.

"It was a card game from the Witcher three. But how they managed to recreate it with different card sets I will never know."

"It is better just to leave them… it is weird enough from them to play such games in the team building event," responded Momonga.

Esdeath sighed. "Maybe, you are right. So an another round of Goat Simulator?"

Momonga nodded, and the two of them grabbed the controller.

"This time I will defeat your goat!" Esdeath smirked.

Momonga chuckled. "Dreams of misery." With that, the two supreme beings continued their weird game.
