I do not own Overlord(オーバーロード) by Maruyama Kugane

The Maids stepped into the room. Suddenly, a gigantic magic powered chandelier activated as the dark room was illuminated. The maids were surprised at the masterful craftsmanship of the room that almost rivaled Nazarick's. The walls were darker than obsidian and looked more solid too. The floor was also this color but had the faces of tortured souls imprinted on it. If one took a closer examination of it, they would be able to observe the details.

However, other than the ground and walls, the room was bare if not for the majestic throne in front of them. It was made of material somehow darker than the walls. It radiated pure dark energy. The armrests of the throne each had a purple gem attached to it. A larger purple gem was attached to the back of the throne.

The diversity of the materials were scarce and would usually not be enough for the room to be called perfect, but the craftsmanship and the fact that that the throne was a beacon of dark energy countered that weakness.

Yuri thought that the throne was good enough for even Ainz-sama to sit on. She quickly put that thought out of her head and chided herself for thinking of something so disrespectful.

The only throne worthy for the guild leader Ainz Ooal Gown would be the in the Great Tomb of Nazarick. The throne in the place the Supreme Beings poured their blood, sweat, and tears to make. Any other structure made by any other being was inferior. That was the thought process of the NPCs of Nazarick.

There was a man sitting on the throne with a smile on his face. He leaned on his fist and acted like he was bored. The man was an elf. His skin was very pale, a perfect contrast to his clothing. He wore a black fedora with a feather to the side. He also had black metal shoulder pads, curving up at the ends. He wore a long cape that stretched to his calfs. He had a silk jerkin with gloves on with stylish, pointed leather shoes. (He looks like Dar'Khan from WOW with a few changes. Search him up if you don't know what he looks like)

The man began speaking. His voice sounded silky smooth and would attract a lonely female any day of the week.

"Welcome, my dear intruders, to my humble abode."

The man says this in a cheerful tone, the smile never leaving his face.

Yuri spoke for the maids "You have driven citizens from the Sorceror Kingdom insane with the miasma that was emitted from your fortress. Explain or face the power of our nation."

"Oh, I understand. Who is your king?"

"His name is Ainz Ooal Gown-sama, the leader of the 41 supreme beings and a true god of death."

"Hmm, I understand. Sorry about the people I drove insane. They ventured into my territory without asking or knowing what was in store for them."

"Well I'm sorry if that caused inconveniences to your nation, but those people were really big idiots. "

Yuri sighed, glad it was just an accident and that the resident of the fortress was not hostile.

However, Nabe was angry.

"How dare you offend Ainz-sama and not kneel and beg for mercy worm!"

"My my, it seems like negotiations have broken down. From the looks of it she doesn't want to negotiate."

"However, it seems like your king did not think long enough before picking your members here, he is stupid for doing that."

All the maids burned in anger at that statement. Even Yuri. Naberal just charged at him, lightning charging up in her hands, yelling.

"How Dare You Maggot!"

"I just stated my opinion. The Sorcerer Kingdom is supposed to be free nation after all."

The smile never left the mystery man's face.

Naberal attacked the smiling man.

"[Dimensional Move]"

The battle maid used this ability to appear behind the man, swing at him with her staff, trying to destroy him and his throne.

Naberal smiled in glee, thinking she has killed the one that insulted her master.

"My, My, you're a magic caster yet you still try melee attacks?"

Nabe's eyes opened wide in shock. Her strike had been stopped by a sword. A two handed sword with a skull at the crossguard. (It looks like Rebellion from Devil May Cry)

The man still sat on the throne with a smile on his face. He held the sword back with his right hand, effortlessly blocking the strike.

Nabe was a battle mage that could attack with melee weapons while casting spells. However, that meant her stats were split between spellcasting and melee. She could not defeat someone skilled at melee at the same level as her. She had no knowledge about the man's abilities so if he was a warrior, she was screwed.

"[Dimensional Move]

Naberal teleported back to her fellow maids.

No one from the new world she encountered could match Naberal's combat prowess so she was cocky. She cursed herself and went on guard.

"Careful, he's strong."

The man got up and stood in front of his throne.

The NPCs in Yggdrasil had no way to learn the levels of players. They were supposed to stay in their guilds as raid bosses or decorations. Therefore they could not use [Discern Level] or other spells like it. Therefore, the maid squad did not know how strong their foe was.

Yurr took charge.

"Entoma, with me! Naberal, you stay in the air and shoot him with spells! Shizu, you cover us!"

Nabe cast [fly] used [Dragon Lightning] against the mystery man. Shizu knelt down on one leg and shot at him. Yuri and Entoma charged in with their weapons.

The man still had the smile on his face even as he was pummeled with attacks. First he had to deal with Shizu. A hail of pink magic bullets came at him so he twirled his sword in his hand, blocking the shots. Shizu reloaded her gun. Next came Naberal's spell. A giant lightning dragon came at him and he slashed it in half with his sword. The dragon exploded in a burst of electricity in two halfs behind him, leaving the man unharmed.

However, Yuri used the attack as a smokescreen. As soon as the dragon was split Yuri charged in, ready to punch with her fist.

"Hyaa!"

The man merely smiled and pulled out a large, black revolver from his inventory and began to shoot at her, canceling her attack. (.45 long Colt from Trigun, Knives' not Vashes')

Yuri was surprised the man had another weapon as she blocked the bullet fired from the gun by crossing her gauntlets at the center of her chest. It knocked her back several feet.

Meanwhile, Entoma attacked from the side with her sword bug. This was blocked by the sword and the man shot towards her forehead with his revolver. Entoma's arm twisted in an unnatural way as she brought her shield in front of her face for protection. The bullet knocked her back several feet.

The man smiled seeing Entoma using her insectoid heritage to her advantage.

Meanwhile, Shizu started firing again. (She started firing 2 seconds after the dragon was chopped in half so things went by very fast.)

The man spun his sword to block the shots again but this time he shot back with his revolver. However, he fired through his spinning sword's spinning area.

Shizu's eyes widened. Not many people could have that kind of coordination with their limbs.

She was forced to roll to dodge the bullets. Meanwhile the maids regrouped.

"My my, I expected more from the Pleiades Battle Maids."

The maids were shocked, no one outside of Nazarick should have known their identities.

Yuri asked, "Who are you?"

"Let's just say that we are of the same world."

Yuri cursed. This man might prove to be a threat to Nazarick. He was definitely from their old world. He was strong and knew about them. Yuri wondered if the man encountered the supreme beings.

"Are you perhaps thinking that I will be a threat to the great tomb of Nazarick?"

Yuri's eyes widened and her face paled. How could he know about the tomb?

"How did you know?"

"Let's just say that I've heard of it"

Yuri cursed again. There was no way of getting a straight answer out of this guy.

"We have to use our full strength got it?"

"It doesn't matter if we die. This man is a threat to Ainz-sama!"

The maids solemnly nodded. Entoma equipped her thousand whip bug and threw away her sword, keeping her shield. Naberal buffed herself with [Greater Luck], [Blessing of magic caster], and [Greater Damage]. Shizu also buffed herself.

"[No Reload], [Greater Firing Speed], [Eagleeye]"

[No Reload] removed the need to reload a gun. But it only lasted 5 minutes and had a cooldown of 1 hour. The second spell was self explanatory. [Eagleeye] increased her accuracy tenfold.

Lastly, Yuri readied herself to use her most deadly abilities.

"Oi are you done yet? I'm bored." The man said with the smile still on his face, taunting the maids.

Yuri clenched her teeth at the insult.

The maids began their attack.

Yuri suddenly appeared in front of the man, readying a punch. She was so fast that she left an afterimage. Yuri was a brawler so her punches were very potent.

"[Sound Breaking Punch!]"

Yuri punched the mystery man at the speed of sound. The man was hit in the stomach, all of his bones broken as he lied, broken and dying on the floor.

Back to Reality

The man just grabbed the maid's arm after stabbing his sword into the ground and asked,

"Really? I was expecting more. This is starting to bore me."

Yuri smiled as the man was distracted.

Shizu suddenly shot at the man from behind. Shizu was an assassin so she was very agile. Yuri's attack bought her all the time she needed to sneak behind the man.

The shot came at the man. While keeping the smile on his face, the man grabbed his sword with his hand he used to grab Yuri's arm, twirling his sword to stop the bullets. He kicked Yuri in the chest at the meantime, knocking her back. However, when Shizu's bullets were blocked, they exploded, obscuring the man's sight. Entoma used this chance to wrap her whip bug around his sword arm while Naberal casted [Maximise Magic: Chain Dragon Lightning]

The whip held the man in place and he couldn't use his sword while the dragon-shaped lightning came at him.

The man smiled with a serene expression on his face and closed his eyes.

"Good"

The maids had triumphant looks on their faces seeing the man accepting his death.

"But not good enough!"

The man suddenly opened his eyes and pointed to the dragon with his revolver.

"[Dragon Shot!]"

Twin black dragons came through the barrel of the man's gun, each the same size as Naberal's lightning dragon. The black dragons tore the spell apart as the maids looked in shock. (Basically Hanzo's ult from overwatch but black instead of blue and the dragons are a lot bigger.)

The smile never left the man's face.

"I must say that strategy was quite well planned, but this battle comes to an end."

He reversed his grip on his sword, cutting through the whip bug as it hissed in pain. His hand was free and he jumped backwards, standing on his throne.

"[High Noon]"

[High Noon] was a gunslinger attack that required time to charge but left the user vulnerable for its charging period. However, the attack sent bullets from the gun to every enemy in sight, the bullet speed and damage was multiplied by 500.

The attack began charging.

The maids each felt a sense of dread, like they were about to die no matter what they did. Entoma whimpered,

"Is this the end Yuri-oneesan?"

Yuri clenched her teeth. She would not let her sisters die. She couldn't. What would her creator say? However, she knew that she could do nothing about the situation. She knew that she was going to die and acknowledged it.

However, she would not go down without a fight. She charged up an attack.

"[Sound Breaking Punch!]"

While she was trying to punch the mystery man, her life flashed before her eyes as she closed her eyes, waiting for the end.

"Forgive me, Ainz-sama"

However death did not come. Instead her punch connected and the man was knocked out, unconscious on the floor. All the maids were surprised by this and they voiced their surprise.

"EHHHHHHHHH?!"

The maids, once they had captured the man, were on their way to Nazarick. A pathway was open through the miasma outside. While the occurrence was strange, the maids were too tired to think about something like that.

The maids did not kill the man because he could be a source of information for Ainz-sama. They put celestial uranium handcuffs on him that Shizu happened to have. Made by one of the blacksmiths of Nazarick.

However, the maids never recognised what the smile on the man's face represented. The smile that the man still wore, but changed. It represented knowledge when the maids first saw him. But now, the smile was one of triumph.
