-The End, Part 1-
A woman tosses and turns, having nightmares of an intense battle she had before she took her own life. The woman then suddenly wakes up in a cold sweat, looking around a wooden room hearing the sounds of the waves crashing from an open window. She then checks her body for wounds but found she was unharmed. She stands up going to the door, and upon opening it and sees a vast ocean around her.
"Where am I?!"
"Good morning, student." A calm voice says from behind.
The woman abruptly turns around to spot the first Nabe of the original Team Darkness wearing her signature gear. She seemed as young as when she was an adventurer, but streaks of grey hair can now be seen in her long hair. The woman jumps into Nabe's arms and begins to cry.
"Master...I missed...you so...much!"
She begins to pat her student's head calming her down.
"Is that how my number 1 student acts in front of their teacher and everyone else? And besides, I retired that life and name. Or have you forgotten?"
She looks around, and spots a large amount of people looking at her with smiles on their faces. She then quickly adjusts herself to the situation.
"Sorry, Lady Naberal. So how am I here? I remember using the item Emperor Ainz gave me if I were to lose... what about the others?! Are they ok?!" The Second Nabe begins to ask frantically.
"Calm down you're still resting. Your body might be healed but your mind still needs rest. All your questions will be answered in due time but first are you hungry?"
A loud, beastly growl emanates from the Second Nabe's stomach. With an embarrassed look she nods "yes". Narberal then walks her towards the mess hall. She eats her fill and the two return to her room.
"Lady Naberal, how come I'm still alive?"
"You can't wait can you? The powerful magic items you used have a second ability. They open a [Gate] to your location so Emperor Ainz can pull you to safety."
"Oh! So that explains why I'm a ship... where's the Emperor?! We are being lied too! The Forgotten's leader is a player!"
"Calm down and explain." Narberal says with a raise eyebrow.
"I was fighting the dwarven king, then I broke a blue orb, and found what I fought wasn't a dwarf. It was a beast like creature instead. While I was fighting him I felt a veil of immense magic being lifted off my head."
"So what you are saying is that a powerful item was destroyed that clouded your mind."
"Yes! The dwarf king was willing to take his own life to protect it, as he had orders from his master to guard it."
"I see, I shall report this to Emperor Ainz. You stay here and rest."
"Lady Narberal let me explain to his majesty."
Nabe tries to get out of bed, but Naberal throws a stick at her. Nabe tries to grab it but she misses, getting hit in the forehead instead.
"The student I know would have caught that with ease. For now, you must rest your mind, because this war is far from over."
Nabe relents upon hearing Narberal's words and lays down. Seeing she has lost her mental fortitude, Naberal leaves Nabe's room.
[Message]
[Emperor Ainz, I may have grave news.]
[What is it Naberal?]
[The enemy may have a world item.]
[I see. I have already prepared for this kind of event but knowing they have such a power doesn't make this easier. Can you tell me more?]
[Yes, emperor. Nabe told me that she destroyed a blue orb which lifted a veil of powerful magic making her enemy reveal his true form.]
[I see. I shall investigate this further. Try to learn more Naberal.]
[Yes Emperor.]
[Message disconnects]
A guard then walks up to Naberal.
"My Lady. Momon has awakened."
"Thank you. I shall inform Nabe."
"Yes ma'am."
Naberal walks back into nabe room.
"Nabe, I have good news."
"Was it master?"
"Momon has awakened so come follow me."
"Momon's here?!"
"Yes, so get up and follow me."
Nabe gets up standing beside Naberal eager to go. Naberal pulls out a mirror showing Nabe reflection. Nabe looks at herself, seeing her hair was in disarray and her eyes had bags underneath. Nabe begins to fix herself up, and after an hour of preparations she is ready to meet with Momon.
*Knock, knock*
"Enter."
Nabe enters the room alone, since Naberal had other matters to attend to. She enters seeing Momon sitting up in bed being examined by a healer.
"Nabe! You're alive! I sensed you disappear."
"I thought I was dead, but Emperor Ainz plans for everything. The items had a second power that allowed him to rescue us."
"I am glad that I'm not alone. Do you know if Ren is okay?"
"I don't know. He must be still resting."
"Hmm... I suppose they'll tell us when it's time. Did you found out anything about the Forgotten?"
"Yes, I did! They are being lead by a player, but he is not a supreme being. I destroyed a powerful item that lifted a powerful mind magic, and I think the 'Forgotten' are the eastern citizens."
"Seems like you found out a lot."
"I did, but what about you?"
"Similar to you. I destroyed a powerful magic item that looked like a yellow orb."
"I see, I destroyed a blue orb. What did you feel afterwards?"
"I felt pain."
"Pain?"
"When I fought the frost dragon that called himself 'Last' I destroyed the orb. I saw him shake in pain, as did I. Even after I actived [Will of the First] I still felt pain."
"So your orb blocked pain, and mine blocked the mind. I wonder if Ren had something similar. These two items do explain the unstoppable will of the Forgotten. Also, Momon did you fight the Forgotten?"
"I did to a point. I fought with the demi-humans and a dragon before I passed out."
"So we can't really prove that theory untill I get Ren's part of the story. I hope he wakes up soon."
While Nabe was deep in thought, Momon gets up and hugs her from behind. She was a bit surprised by the action, but she enjoyed his warm body to a certain extent.
"Hey... Momon... is that your sword?"
"Um... technically? Yes."
Nabe then leaps forward with a reddened face in embarrassment. She looks at Momon and sees he is currently naked. She covers her eyes with her hands, but peaks through her fingers.
*Knock, knock*
"I'm coming in."
Sebas abruptly enters the room without waiting for a reply, only to see a naked Momon and an embarrassed Nabe. Sebas gives a smile and begins to close the door.
"Wait! Sebas!" Shouted Nabe.
"I didn't mean to come between your healthy relationship." Said a slightly smiling Sebas.
"It's not like that! Momon put some pants on!" Shouted Nabe, face still flushed red.
"Oh, sorry." Momon replied, with a hint of disappointment in his voice.
"If you wish, I can come get you later once you're finished bonding." Sebas calmly said.
"No! Now is good." Nabe emphatically replied.
"Then I'll be waiting outside. We'll leave once you two are ready."
Sebas exits the room, whilst Nabe and Momon gives him a slight bow.
"Okay. Thank you. Momon, hurry up and get dressed!"
"Okay. Just let me find my pants." Momon says nonchalantly.
A few minutes later, Nabe and Momon leave the room fully dressed. They then spotted Sebas waiting for them.
"Are you current you two don't need more time?" Said Sebas with a tiny smirk.
"No!" Shouted Nabe instantly in reply.
Momon wanted to say something, but Nabe had formed a lighting ball in her hand ready to attack Momon. Sebas just smiles at the two lovebirds.
"Well, follow me. We are already late to the ceremony."
"Ceremony?" Momon asked in confusion.
"Yes. A ceremony. A great deal has happened that I thought wouldn't have happened."
Sebas begins walking towards the end of the ship, and the two follow. They then spot Emperor Ainz standing before a large crowd. The air was tense and heavy as everyone turns to look at them. Ainz moves to the side allowing Nabe and Momon to see Ren and Silver laying in a pile of flowers. The two are shocked at seeing Ren, with pictures of the team that were sent with him.
"Umu. Everyone is here so let us begin. We are gathered here today, to say our final farewells to Ren and his best friend Silver. The two were sent to the Beastman Nation in the eastern continent in a mission of investigation, but they have meet there end to an unknown enemy."
Nabe instantly fell onto her knees, like a puppet whose strings have been cut. Momon stood in silence as he gripped his hands into fists.
"Ren, the third member of Team Darkness, survived countless battles with Momon and Nabe, but alone he fell in battle. I take responsibility for issuing the order of removing Team Darkness' greatest strength of unity. I can only hope that everyone can forgive me for the loss of a hero to our nation."
Just then Momon walks towards Ainz, and placed his hand on his shoulder. Not a single word was spoken between them, but everyone knew that Momon forgiven him. Ainz then bows his head in respect, and Momon walks over to say his final farewells to Ren.
Nabe then picks herself off the ground and stands beside Momon, also saying her final farewells. Nabe holds onto Momon's arm to hold herself up, with his cape fluttering with the wind as Ainz finishes his speech.
"My friend, we've been through so much. The good and bad times. We saved so many, but lost many as well. Ren and Silver. May the supreme beings give you a wide open space and a gentle breeze in the afterlife. " Said Momon in sadness.
"Don't worry about us. You go enjoy yourself with all types of food and drinks. I have this big dummy to protect me, and I'll protect him. We won't forget you, nor the people of the Empire will forget you." Said Nabe with a tear.
"Ren and Silver, watch over us." Said Momon.
Ainz walks over to them and gently spoke.
"It's time."
The two then take a few steps back.
[Greater Fly]
Ainz takes Ren's and Silver's bodies into the air, high above the fleet for all to see. He gently pushes them and they float away gently. Ainz pets Silver and Ren head one last time as he does so. He lifts his staff towards them and casts a spell.
[Flame Storm]
A large pillar of fire surrounded Ren and Silver. Everyone watches on as the two then disappear into motes of ash. It was a warrior's funeral for two of the bravest in their empire. Ainz briefly had flashbacks of when he first met the two, and how they helped him build the empire. The spell ends with a flash of orange, and so Ainz turns around to address the people, amplifying his voice with a spell.
"We move forward to save a continent in peril. These two gave their lives on every mission to save the people. May other heroes follow in their footsteps for generations to come."
Ainz then floats down landing beside Momon.
"Thank you for following his wishes." Momon said solemnly.
"It's the least I could do. I wanted to bring him back, but he would've been yelling at me the entire time. Ren can be such a hot headed fool, but when he told me that he didn't want to be brought back when he died, I didn't question his resolve." Said Ainz.
"If you excuse us sire, we have training to begin. We as Team Darkness shall kill the ones who killed our friend." Said Nabe, with wrath in her voice.
"Of course. We still have a long way to go, but once we arrive it'll become a bloodbath." Ainz said coldly.
The three look over to the east, gazing upon the endless ocean. They can feel someone looking at them directly in the eyes.
-Heaven City-
The imposter Ainz sits on a chair looking towards the west. A cruel laugh emits over the city as screams can be heard underneath him. The imposter lifts a black orb, which then begins to emit black lighting throughout the city, covering the sky in an endless darkness with the screams intensifying.
"My dear friend Momonga. I hope you haven't forgotten me. I can't wait to meet you again, so that this time I can toss you aside and be forgotten."
-The End Begins-
Ainz' fleet arrives at the shore of the eastern continent, and awaiting for him is Evileye, Enri, and the three kings. The armies of Enri and the adventurers hold the banners of the Empire high for all to see. Ainz floats down off his ship landing on the sandy shore. The moment Ainz touched the ground, everyone who belongs to the Empire kneeled before him.
[Gate]
Ainz opens a portal and the Guardians of Narazick appear one by one. The bewitching beauty Albedo stands beside Ainz, wtih even Victim and Rubedo emerging for the portal. Shortly thereafter, all the guardians stood before him awaiting orders. The three kings could feel the immense power coming from them. The Jade King, who was the strongest among the three, was tembeling to the core of his very being, just from Ainz' presence.
A demon in a suit lifts his hand and speaks a single word.
"Kneel."
The three kings then began to kneel by an unknown force. Ainz lifts his hand and the demon stops, and bows for forgiveness. Ainz begins walking towards the kings, and even though the spell has been stopped, the kings were too scared to stand.
"My Emperor, we await your orders." Said Albedo.
"Follow me."
Shortly after, the ships begin to open in the front, and then lower a massive bridge. The kings could see legions of monsters, undead, and humans marching side to side of each other. Momon and Nabe are seen leading the troops, with the adventurers joining them. They then begin to follow Ainz towards Heaven City.
The demon in the suit walks up to the kings and coldly speaks.
"Everything in this land belongs to Emperor Ainz, do you disagree?"
The one to speak for them is the Jade King.
"I do not."
The other kings were in shock upon hearing such a statement, but they knew that they couldn't win in their present situation.
"Good to hear. Now hurry up, for we have a war to win for the emperor."
The Empire's forces, alongside the Gold, Onyx, and Jade Kingdoms then march without hesitation. A total of 6 million strong of every race stood ready to fight. The united force stands before Heaven City expecting hordes of Forgotten but only to see normal people. Many people shout in joy seeing friends and family, but they are returned with warnings to run.
A sinister voice cuts through the air silencing everyone.
"I'm so glad you have finally arrived Ainz."
The imposter then floats down from his seat landing before his army, holding a black orb emitting power.
(I know that item… it's on the tip of my tongue...)
"Thank you for such a welcome, but isn't rude to hide behind that disguise."
"Yes, it is."
The imposter Ainz shines brightly for one moment, and then the next his appearance has changed. He is an undead like Ainz, but everything about his looks were different, with the imposter wearing a tuxedo with a red shirt.
"Since this is our first meeting in such a long time, how about we introduce ourselves for all to know."
"You first." Ainz said coldly.
"Heh. Gladly. My name is Forgotten Ruler, formerly the 42nd member of the YGGDRASIL guild of Ainz Ooal Gown. Now, I shall become ruler of this world." The undead being says with a sinister chuckle.
The guardians were all shocked in turn upon hearing him say he was the 42nd member, while to their knowledge there are only 41. The guardians then all look to their master for answers.
"It is true, but after his reckless actions allowed people to attack and invade Narazick, we decided to throw him out, and ensure that he was forgotten."
"I was forgotten, due to you and that Gabriel Erin Dracon. You two, and the guilds that followed you all hunted me down, all the way to lvl-1. I hated you everyday since, and because of that hate I grew strong and made it to this world." He said with a growl.
"That was all you're doing."
"We had a pact, but I was chosen as a scapegoat. I've waited so long for this moment Ainz."
"So you made this new life."
"Yes, I did. I am complete opposite of you. You are the very image of death, while I represent control. Control you never had. Control that I have over everyone."
"My friend, you lost an opportunity to rebuild your life, but I shall end it and bring you peace."
"Shall we settle this with a guild fight?"
Ainz lifts the Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown. The only item that can end all of Narazick. Forgotten pulls out a purple rapier. The Wand of the [Memory]. The key to his guild.
"Before we begin Ainz, I wanted to know if that little wolf boy and his pet were sent to you. I believe his name was Ren."
Momon and Nabe began to swell with rage, upon hearing that he brought up Ren.
"Yes, he was. Who was the one who killed him?"
The woman standing next to Forgotten lifts her hand with a big grin. Then with her other hand she pulls out a pair of goggles that had belonged to Ren. Momon and Nabe sees it and then immediately rushed towards her. Momon and Nabe attack with such force and speed that a large dust cloud surrounded them. A few moments pass and it was seen that the woman had blocked both of their attacks with two small scythes.
"Forgotten, these two shall fight her as she killed a close friend."
"That's fine. Hey, Izzy. Go fight somewhere else."
"Yes, my love."
She throws the two back and jumps away, with Momon and Nabe following in pursuit. Ainz then turns to Albedo.
"Ensure that no one interferes with our fight."
"Yes Emperor." She said with an elegant bow.
Ainz begins to fly up and so does Forgotten. The guardians begin to walk forward seeing the Forgotten's guild protectors. Standing before them, there was a bloated beastman priest, two human siamese twins, a sleeping ogre, a humanoid flaming scorpion, a fallen angel, and the Jade King.
"Mere copies of us, how insulting to the supreme beings." Said Shalltear in a voice filled with venom and spite.
"An improvement to false creations such as yourself." The fallen angel said mockingly.
Shalltear's blood lust begins to flow freely upon hearing him say such a thing to her.
"Now calm down Shalltear. We'll get to kill them, but first I want to know their names." Said Demiurge calmly.
"Oh! Someone with manners. How wonderful! Then I'll be first. I am Raven, the fallen angel. Will you be my opponent?"
"Of course. I'm Demiurge the demon." He said cordially.
The two then begin to slowly walk towards each other.
The siamese twins begin to step forward as they speak with happy expressions.
"We are the Jack and Jill! We both love fighting!" They said as they look at Aura and Mare with glee.
Aura felt creeped out by them, while Mare begins to slowly walk away. Aura then grabs his shirt, forcibly pulling him back. The two then begin to walk forward.
"I'm Aura and this is my brother Mare. We'll kick your butt!" She said brimming with confidence.
The bloated beastman walks towards Shalltear.
"I'm Pope, the one who'll show the world the light of our lord."
"I'm Shalltear Bloodfallen. I'll be killing you."
The sleeping ogre wakes up and he begins to grow in size reaching the height of Gargantua. The ogre turns to raven.
"I fight big ones?"
"Yes."
"Good, I'm tiny. Let's fight!"
The ogre smiles walking towards Gargantua.
"I'm the Jade King."
"I'm Sebas the Butler."
"A mere butler to fight a king? Such an insult." He said with indignation.
"You are a mess that needs to be cleaned up." Sebas coldly responded.
They then begin to emit energies of their power from their bodies as they stare each other down. The two seemed most eager to fight.
The flaming six armed scorpion pulls out two large claymores as his weapons. Cocytus pulls out a large katana and mace in response.
"I'm. Cocytus."
"I'm Hunter."
The guardians against the protectors. They are all face to face with each other, and it will take only a single moment that begins the war. Millions of troops stood behind them, hearing only the beating of their hearts as the tensions rise.
Ainz and Forgotten have finished buffing themselves with a myriad of spells, and in that instant a mighty thunderstorm begins to crack heavens. Then a single raindrop fell between them, as if in slow motion to everyone else present. The raindrop gently hits the ground, and the war begins.
[Grasp Heart]!
[Mind Break]!
The two inflict damage to each other to feel out their opponent's build. They begin to plan each other's attacks, seeing how to best kill each other. A standard PVP fight lasts 2 minutes, but a guild-end fight can last 10 minutes due to the guild weapons at times equaling world items in power. As the two begin their duel, a battle begins underneath their feet.
-5 Minutes Pass-
Shalltear and Pope were engaged in fierce combat. Shalltear had equipped her red battle mode while Pope has transformed into a werewolf while wearing his pope outfit. The fight has progressed to a near death point for the two fighters.
[Holy Lance]!
Shalltear bellows as she throws a shining lance of energy towards Pope.
[Holy Shield]!
Pope blocks Shalltear's attack with a shining shield of energy, but she quickly closes the gap to land a physical blow.
"Too easy!"
[Divine Aura]!
A bright light shines from Pope blinding Shalltear. She raises her hand to block the light, allowing Pope to then go on the attack. He strikes Shalltear's side with his staff knocking her away with a thunderous, metallic clang.
"Such an annoying opponent." Said Shalltear in irritation.
Two dragons of darkness clash in the sky above them. They look up to spot the rulers fighting in an intense battle to the death. Shalltear can spot a few injuries on Ainz, while Forgotten is also similarly injured.
"I can't waste time on you anymore. I must support my emperor." Said Shalltear resolutely.
"You think you can beat me that easy little girl? Then come with all your might!"
[Einherjar]!
Shalltear activates her trump card, summoning a clone of herself. She then sends out her clone first while she follows closely behind. Pope kneels on the ground lifting his staff upwards.
[Divine Punishment]!
Suddenly a large magic rune appears above Pope sending forth a beam of heavenly fire. [Einherjar] blocks the attack while Shalltear pushes it forward as her shield.
"Seems like you won't die that easy." Said Pope ruefully.
"Not until I have your head!" Said Shalltear with a hiss of spite.
[Divine Punishment-Max Charge]!
The beam doubles in power pushing Shalltear and her clone back.
[Negative Impact Shield]!
A dark colored shield pushes the beam back so the two fly up above and rush towards Pope. He aims the beam up, but it was easy to dodge, allowing the two to get closer and closer.
"It's over you crude failure!" Shouted Shalltear in rage.
Pope looks towards Shalltear and smiles
"Yes, it is. For all of us."
[Divine Sacrifice]
The beam splits into eight smaller beams, forming a cage around Pope and Shalltear. The cage then begins to get smaller in size.
"What have you done?!" Said Shalltear in surprise.
"My final attack. The cage shall get smaller, increasing in damage, and once it touches me it explodes, killing all within it no matter how strong. I can't stop it either, so it is finally over! Such a shame I won't be able to witness the death of your ruler, but I'll be able to see the birth our new world!" Said Pope in adulation.
"No matter what, you can't stop it until you die?"
"Yes! It's all over!"
Shalltear looks upon Pope with glee.
"Good!"
"What do you mean?"
"I trained with Emperor Ainz to better improve my understanding of PVP. He always taught me to save my skills, and luring your opponent into your plan. I am so grateful for his teachings."
Shalltear then suddenly flies towards the edge of the cage taking damage that rapidly drains her HP pool.
[Space-Time Reversal]!
It was a skill that undoes damage inflicted and returns her to a certain point.
Shalltear disappears behind the cage as it begins to close even faster, and she looks down at Pope with a triumphant smile.
"Damn you!"
The cage of energy then closes in, killing Pope and the [Einherjar] clone. Shalltear looks up to see Ainz still fighting, but in her weakened condition she wouldn't be able to help him. She then stands next to Albedo to watch their master fight.
Shalltear turns to see Demiurge in his demonic form fighting an angel with eight wings. The two briefly stop fighting in order to gain a moment to breathe.
"I must admit, seeing Pope lose is not a surprise. He is the weakest of us all." Said Raven in a nonchalant manner.
"Indeed. I must admit, I was wondering what took Shalltear so long." Demiurge coolly said.
Shalltear grimaced with an annoyed look upon hearing Demiurge's comment.
"I'm curious. Where do you rank?"
"I'm third. How about you?"
"Near the bottom."
"Yet you're providing me with such a challenge even though I have the holy element."
"Emperor Ainz showed us how to overcome weakness unlike your leader. He just uses you as chess pieces in his game, but our emperor truly cares for us!"
"Let us finish this!"
Demigure and Raven rushed forward to end their fight in one attack. The two seemed frozen in time as they drew ever closer. Mere inches away from strike range, Demiurge lifts his hand to his face and snaps his fingers. Suddenly, two lvl-90 demons that have been hiding underground arise, grabbing onto Raven's legs. He tries to break free but it's far too late.
[Hell Engulf]!
Demiurge pierces Raven's chest, which flares into a fiery inferno. Raven vomits out a bit of blood and then returns to his base form.
"He he. I understand how your were so confident now." Said Raven in an ironic tone of voice.
"I would have lost if the emperor didn't share his knowledge with us."
"What did he tell you?"
"He said I focus too much, and in so doing I don't plan far enough ahead."
"He ha. I guess I don't focus enough, or I would have noticed those two...it seems like you were right."
Raven fades away in the wind as bright embers as Demiurge slowly returned to his base form. He walks over to Albedo and Shalltear whom were watching Emperor Ainz fight. He then begins to walk forward to the scene when Albedo stops him.
"Emperor Ainz orders said that no one gets involved."
Demiurge looks up to see both of them suffering from mana fatigue even though they are both undead. So great was the clash between the two that it seemed like it could end the world. Understanding the situation, Demiurge walked back to watch the fight.
Meanwhile, an explosion of earth rocks the ground. The ogre is currently fighting the giant stone monster Gargantua. He had numerous wounds on his body while Gargantua had cracks on its body.
Tiny could barely stand, yet he rushes forward regardless. Gargantua stands its ground tanking Tiny's impact, while he's being pushed back. Gargantua grabs Tiny, lifting him up and then slamming him onto the ground. Then it grabs Tiny by the neck, and lifting him up back onto his feet. Gargantua's arm morphs into a spear thrusting it into Tiny, who grabs onto it using all his strength to crush it.
Tiny fell onto his knees while Gargantua stumbled back. Tiny looks up at the golem as it then continues walking towards him. Tiny falls over with a weak grin as his HP hits zero. Gargantua stops moving as Tiny has died, and remains motionless awaiting for orders.
"Another victory for Emperor Ainz." Said Albedo in satisfaction.
"He received quite a bit of damage." Said Shalltear nonchalantly.
"He has but he'll recover. How is Sebas and Cocytus doing?" Demiurge asked coldly.
In the instant that Shalltear turns her head to look around, she sees Sebas breaking the neck of the Jade King. Sebas was greatly wounded with multiple injuries, with his shirt having been torn off, displaying his muscular physique. Afterward, he calmly joins the others watching their master's fight. Ainz' majestic cloak is in tatters from the damage received, and Forgotten's suit has several rips showing his bony body.
"I apologize for my appearance Lady Albedo, but I didn't want to change forms to deal with him." Said Sebas in a formal fashion.
"I understand Sebas. For now, just focus on recovery while we watch our emperor's fight."
-7 Minutes Have Passed-
An explosion of ice and fire shakes the ground underneath their feet. Not far from the position, a powerful tundra swirls around the skies while magma rises from the ground. It was intense clash between Hunter and Cocytus. The two stand back to gather a brief moment of peace to recover. Cocytus has burns on his body's exoskeleton while Hunter has the telltale signs of frostbite with black and dark blue spots on his body.
"You. Are. An. Excellent. Warrior."
"I feel the same of you."
"I. Shall. Honor. This. Fight. By. Using. Every. Last. Drop. Of. Power. I. Have."
"Good. Then so shall I."
Without warning a powerful blizzard surrounds Cocytus, while Hunter has flames dancing around his body. Cocytus' ice spikes on his body begin morphing into ice claws similar to a praying mantis. He pulls out a single sword using all of his arms to wield it. The sword is a large saber, and was once used by his creator, but the sword was very simple and plain in design. It had nothing to it and was rusted on the bottom.
Meanwhile, Hunter's flames consumes him, turning his arms into blades of orange fire. The scorpion's tail turns into three smaller ones dripping acid, and he pulls out a metal claw for each hand.
"You said that you wouldn't hold back."
"I'm. Not."
"That weapon seems like it's about to break."
"It. May. But. It's. My. Creator's. Strongest. Weapon."
"Let us see about that."
Hunter dashes forward, and so does Cocytus. As the two come closer to striking range Hunter pulls his arms back to deal a powerful blow. Cocytus keeps his gaze on a single point; right on Hunter's neck. Hunter can sense danger, but still rushes wanting to see how his opponent will win. They are within weapon's range, so Hunter shoots his tail forward, but Cocytus blocks it with his claws.
The scorpian pushes his arms forward, leaving himself open to attack, knowing this is the end. Cocytus lifts his sword not to attack but to block. He lifts his sword before him as it takes most of the damage, but Hunter attacks still connect. His claws dig deep and burn deep. He knows his attacks have landed, but for reasons he could not explain he still cowered in fear.
Hunter looks up to see Cocytus' eyes were as a predator whom has his kill dying in his mouth. He gazed at the sword seeing it crack from top to bottom. Cocytus swings the sword down with all his might on Hunter's neck removing his head. His head rolls on the ground and his body burns ever brighter, but it's overwhelmed by the cold of Cocytus' body. Frost Vermin Lord looks at the sword at it breaks apart.
"Thank. You. Creator. For. Aiding. Me."
[The Warrior's Last Stand]
A sword created by Cocytus' creator, the weapon has three perks. The sword nearer 0 broken point increases the damage max of 5 times of base damage. The user nearer to 0 HP increases the sword damage of max of 5 times base and increases the user's highest attack by 2. If the sword and user are quickly sent to zero under 10 seconds half of all damage is sent to sword increasing damage base by a factor of 10.
Cocytus turns to walk over with the aid of Demiurge and Sebas.
"That should be all of his protectors." Said Sebas.
"No. There should be only one left." Said Albedo.
"Ah... that woman. I hope those two are doing alright."
A lightning storm erupts from the ground as the battle between Team Darkness and the final protector intensifies.
Momon is slashing his swords downwards towards Izzy, and as she blocks his attack she sinks into the ground. Nabe appears from behind ready to blast her, but she fades away making her lightning attack flow towards Momon instead. He deftly redirects the attack towards Izzy who tries to attack Nabe from behind.
Izzy is then blown back from the magic attack, while Nabe regroups with Momon as they form a new plan. Momon has many dents and cuts throughout his armor, and had some wounds that were bleeding through. Likewise, Nabe is running on empty and has many cuts. Izzy had no life threatening injuries, but she couldn't beat their teamwork.
-10 Minutes Pass-
Izzy turns to see her lord falling from the sky. She panics at the sight running towards him, but Momon and Nabe block her path.
"My lover! What should I do?!"
The Forgotten Ruler lifts his hand and closes it as a signal. Izzy then pulls out the black orb from her dress.
"Time to end this war, and let my love rule this world!"
"Stop her!" Shouted Ainz hurriedly.
(Now I remember that item! It's the [Life Orbs]. They can have various effects but the black one can resurrect people with stat buffs.)
Momon and Nabe rushes toward her, but were too late as she crushes the orb releasing a black mist over the battlefield.
"Everyone prepare for another fight!" Shouted Ainz.
The black mist flowed through the battlefield, entering the bodies of the decreased protectors and the troops of his mind controlled army. The dead stood up once again with new life, yet the air of death still lingered on them. The guardians take positions ready to fight, but Ainz then crashes in front of them. They head towards him helping him up, and they stay guard while Forgotten and his protectors walk towards them.
"Emperor Ainz!" Said everyone in worry and panic.
"We don't have a chance to win so I need 1 minute so we can finish this." Said Ainz with confidence in his voice.
"Leave it to us Emperor Ainz. Everyone! Follow my commands!" Said Albedo forcefully.
"Don't forget about us." Said Climb.
Ainz turns to see Empire's flags flowing high in the sky. A huge army marches forward to aid their emporer. The teleporters made by Ainz had worked, bringing the full force of the empire to him.
"Protect me so I can end this." Said Ainz.
A heavy woman's voice speaks beside Ainz.
"Who killed Ren?" Said Draudillon Oriculus.
Ainz points to Izzy, and then Draudillon and Climb run over to give aid. The two see Momon and Nabe weak from intense combat, and then rush in taking their place just in time as the two collapse from exhausting themselves.
Ainz stands behind his army with the Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown. He was channeling magic into the staff, thus making it glow a bright yellow. It begins to change shape, unraveling the staff into a single snake that grasped its own tail.
(I hope this works.)
[Guild Summon]!
The staff glowed brightly throughout the battlefield opening a golden portal. After a few moments pass and nothing happens, the Forgotten's voice roars through the sky.
"Time to end you once and for all Ainz!"
Forgotten appears above him charging a powerful spell and fires it towards Ainz, who still hasn't recovered from his previous fight. Ainz braces himself for the impact but two large shadows block the attack. A large golden humanoid dragon and a slime with two shields stand before Ainz.
"Forgotten, it seems that you forgot what our guild was capable of. We are friends who'll answer a friend's call for help."
The portal allows the supreme beings, one after the other, to stand beside Ainz.
"Forgotten, let me reintroduce myself. I am Ainz Ooal Gown! The Guildmaster of the 41 Supreme Beings!"
All 41 supreme beings stand next to each other while Ainz stands before them. He lifts his bony finger and points to Forgotten, uttering a single command...
"Get him."

*Author here: Hello everyone! Sorry for the long time it has taken me to get this chapter out. I been busy this past month, especially with the holidays. Only one chapter left for Seekers, and then I will resume work on General Chill. I also have other stories I am currently working on for the next year. Also sorry if this chapter seemed small, and kind of rushes for various action scenes, but if I did every fight scene I would never finish. I mean the Shalltear fight alone was like 3 thousand words. Maybe in the future I'll extend when I have more time. And as always, feel free to leave reviews and send PMs for some constructive criticism.*
*Editor here: Yo! MadDan90 here! I must also send my apologies. This chapter would have been out sooner, but between the holidays, personal stuff, and my own projects I have been plenty busy too. Always the way, huh? Oh, and a VERY special thanks to the author-san, Carlos783, for the shout out cameo for my OC, Gabriel Erin Dracon. That was awesome. ^_^ Anywho, I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays and that the next year brings good things. Like, say, a volume 13 of the Overlord LN series that is worth a damn. Seriously, volume 12 blew donkey balls. *Ahem!* Until next time. Laterz!*
