The Supreme Beings of Life and Death

by Ashkar

What if Ainz was joined in the NW by the 41st and final member of AOG? He is still the Ruler of Death but a different race/build. How will Ainz deal with being an Angel of Death in this new world that fears heteromorphs? Will Taylar, the Angel of Life, be able to balance everything out? And why is Taylar so attached to Albedo? kind of canon, with my own twists and additions

A/N: So as you can tell, my plan to release a chapter that just dealt with review replies to ease the replies at the beginning of my chapters failed spectacularly lol... I think this might be the most review replies I've ever had at the beginning of a chapter instead of lessening them... Not sure if any of you are members of AO3 but I would suggest leaving comments on that site if you want a quick response or to have a chat about my fanfic... I can reply instantly on there and so can you so we can have a much more productive conversation and you won't have to wait for a new chapter to get an answer to your question... now, let's get to this ridiculous amount of replies so we can start the next chapter!

Lucz3b: It seems that you, like most people, are hoping for a boy and a girl... I'm not sure if I'm going with outlandish names or regular ones, but I'm heavily leaning towards a girl's name that was suggested in the comments... I won't give it away yet but you won't have to wait long for the children to be born so it won't be that long of a wait... three or four chapters at the most... Ainz will certainly be going to the Dwarven Kingdom... it will more than likely be the chapter after the Battle of the Katze Plains but it might be two chapters after that depending on how I want to do my timeline for this part... there will not be another player appearing, good or evil, while Ainz conquers the world... I have plans for more players but that won't be until the epilogue/sequel and that is going to be a long ways off... well the sequel certainly will be

Daflamingo: sorry about that... didn't mean to ruin your relaxing break time reading my new chapter only to disappoint you... I was trying something new... thought it would alleviate some of the replies at the beginning of my chapters, but as you can tell, it didn't help at all just gave me more things to reply to lol

Blackholelord: Almost none of this is based on the anime... I am basing this off the LNs so when the Battle of the Katze Plains happens, I'm not out of canon material... I've read all the way up to Volume 13 of the LNs... I have plenty of material to get through before I start doing my own thing completely... glad you like me saving people also, I'm a sucker for that lol

OechsnerC: I appreciate your suggestions... Damien is a good option for the race they are going to be, close to what I wanted to name a boy but using my son's name in my story might get a little confusing so Dante is out for me... Damien would be a good substitute though... Evelyn was a name I was considering for a girl so it's close to your other suggestion... also, I appreciate that you are reading my Overlord fanfic after reading my Familiar of Zero one... I figured most of my readers from that fanfic would be pissed I haven't updated it in a long time lol

AndyMclaine1021: That is a crossover I considered doing... Overlord is my favorite anime/LN there is (The LNs are a hundred times better than the anime BTW) and Gate is number 3 on that list... sorry I absolutely love Death March lol... I think Oblivion's fanfic is fantastic (it's on my favorites list for a reason) so I'll leave that to him or her

TheCrownKingdom: Already answered your questions in a message lol... can't give away too many spoilers before they happen in the story

Chaoseater2010: like everyone who voiced an opinion, it seems a boy and a girl is the popular vote... I like the name suggestions too... I'm getting a lot of suggestions for that so I'll end up using names from my readers more than likely

Buujack: you'll find out what race they will be when they are born lol... If I went by D&D standards as I normally do, they would be Infernals... that's the race of being you get when an angel and a demon/devil have a child even if the angel is a fallen one... Perhaps Taylar and Ainz children will be just like Aureole, Immortal Humans lol... I don't want to give it away yet but you won't have to wait long to figure out the race of Albedo and Ainz kids... only a couple chapters away from their arrival

Gossip90210: when my updates first started slowing down, it was because I was reading every halfway decent Overlord fanfic there was and changing my story to try and not use any ideas I had read already... it didn't matter to me if I decided well before I read that fanfic on doing something that way, I tried to change it... I had a few people tell me to just go with what I had originally... I do still plan on doing Zesshi/Mare, but just not sure when I want to do it... it obviously won't be for a very long time in terms of years... Mare needs like another hundred years or so before that is an option for him... An elf child with one white eye and one blue or green eye does sound fantastic lol... heterochromia in Dark Elves signify royalty, not necessarily their power level, they just usually are more powerful... the Aura part of this will be the fun part... I doubt she would be happy, but you never know... maybe Mare doesn't go anywhere and Zesshi lives in Nazarick or Aura goes with Mare to the Elf Kingdom or I don't pair them or Aura kills Zesshi so she can't take her brother lol... lots of possibilities :-)

Fae Fanatic 27: Believe me, I know lots of fey races... I can tell by the name you do as well lol... the number of different types of elves alone I can name off the top of my head would make other people get a headache lmao... I don't know much of anything about Maleficent but I do know fey... I'll tell you that the Drow or Dark Elves will be in my fanfic along with the Duergar or Dark Dwarves just not sure when I'm adding them... kind of want to when I go to the Dwarf Kingdom but might wait until after the Holy Kingdom arc... I really need some Pope Neia in my life! See my reply to Fang Assassin 99 as to the type of elves I'm going to include in the Elf Kingdom.

Sledovatel: I really don't want to answer that and give away any of what is to come lol... but don't plan on it... not saying it won't happen but don't be surprised if it doesn't... was that vague enough? lmao

NeophyteXIII: I always try to reply when I can so no worries... I've actually seen/read/played most of the games and anime's you listed... the exception would be Darksiders, never played it even if it did look cool... I usually pick a game and stick with it for a while... I still play Civ V and I own Civ VI, I still play Skyrim and Oblivion occasionally, and I've been playing the same MMORPG for over thirteen years (Dungeons and Dragons Online). I'll try to keep the monsters interesting as best I can

GhostNova1: I posted a new lemon since so many people asked for one... the other one I planned on posting might be up by the time this chapter/response has come out, if not, look for another one soon... if it's already posted, go ahead and let me know what you think of it

Valkyrie8967: I'm not sure I'll do any of what you asked to be honest. I rarely include those in my fanfic that aren't Ainz, Taylar, Albedo, and Enri. I might do the fate of Arche's parents for you if it fits in one of my chapters since it wouldn't be very long but I won't promise that I will.

AlernateReality: You're not the only one who disliked me bringing back the Swords of Darkness but I will say you are in the vast minority. Most of my readers wanted me to bring them back before I even did. As far as your comment about chapter 11 and no chance a girl from Nazarick would be interested in someone not from Nazarick, keep reading. Like everyone else who complained about the same thing, you just need to keep reading to find out what it was actually about

Guest: Victim has been in my fanfic he just hasn't had any lines... he is always there when I say all the guardians are present. Gargantua is obviously a different story. He/She/It can't fit in the conference room, etc so not there, and don't get your hopes up. Gargantua will not be at the Battle of the Katze Plains

Bloodpack2002: Glad you love my fanfic so far.

Fang Assassin 99: When I get to the Elf Kingdom, there will be many more different types of elves then just elves, dark elves, and wild elves. Dark elves will not be a part of the Elf Kingdom first of all, they will have their own kingdom and you will see that eventually. They will be called Drow as well, not Dark Elves. As far as the Elf Kingdoms actually elves, I'll let you know a few types I will have living there but not all of them. Elves, Wood Elves, High Elves, Moon Elves, Sun Elves, etc...

Chaoseater2010: Your suggestion was essentially what I told others I would consider doing if I were to add Shalltear but I won't lie, it's not going to happen. I'll say this for anyone who has the same idea so I don't get anyone's hopes up... Shalltear will not, not, be part of the relationship in my fanfic. I know a lot of people want me to do it, but I have no plans to.

Inferno666: you'll find out what happens to Gazef in this chapter, let me know if you liked it.

: I'm replying to this comment on Nov 3rd and yes it has been nine days since I posted chapter 19. Chapter 20 will be out, obviously now since this is a reply but, as everyone has known for quite a few chapters, I work a lot and can only release a chapter about once a month so you probably waited about another three weeks for this to actually come out. If you would like to pay me so I can pay my bills to sit at home and write fanfiction, I will gladly accept, but until that happens, you will have to wait for new chapters when I get time to write them.

I vamp slayer: Rubedo's name might mean redness, but that isn't why she was named Rubedo. Rubedo, Albedo, and Nigredo are the three ingredients required to make a Philosopher's Stone, that is why Tabula named them each that. It didn't have anything to do with redness

Turbo3000: Sebas did kill Succulent in chapter 14. He was the last to die with Edstrom's brains all over his face before Sebas upper-cutted his head off his body. I didn't bother naming Coco Doll because he is insignificant but he died at the hands of Shalltear and the Vampire Brides.

Demon Lord 852: I know the last two lemons didn't happen in my story but as I said, the chapter with Rubedo is more like a hasn't happen yet deal. I'll probably write a new lemon when that happens. For now though, I'll just drop hints here and there

Dungeon-Crawler7: Well, I haven't seen Re: Zero even though I have had a lot of friends tell me to watch it, but I do own every DanMachi LN and I also am already writing a DanMachi fanfic called Renarts Don't Mind If You Pick Up Other Girls In The Dungeon! so the second part of your comment might be true lol

Jackpot V: I have seen the first season of drifters but I've never read any of it but... I fucking love Smartphone! The anime was pretty good... it wasn't great but it certainly wasn't bad... they cut out too much of the guild things for my liking but it gets soooooooo much better the longer it goes on... I have all 17 LNs and once they get to having mech's casting forbidden and compound magic, it gets absolutely fantastic... I'll certainly be adding more races and monsters into this eventually and yes, most will be from Dungeons and Dragons but that is the standard that everyone who writes/makes anything fantasy related lol... a couple of replies above yours you will see the many different types of elves I plan on being in the Elf Kingdom and that isn't even all of them so I hope you like what I do with it... you're not the first to ask me to go deeper into Evileye's character but it probably won't happen... I have no creative passion to dig deeper into Evileye so I don't want to just end up getting writers block trying to add her to my story... If I get inspired I'll certainly include it but don't hold your breath

DD Freak 666: I have plans for Argland and the Dragon Lords, but you'll have to wait for that for a bit lol

Kung-Fu God: Before I answer your review... fantastic name! Now, as I said to Jackpot, there will be a lot of races I'll add... the different types of elves are just the start... I'd name them but I think you named every elf race in D&D lol... only thing I'll say is the Drow (Dark Elves) will not be part of the Elf Kingdom... they will have their own Kingdom and we will get into that in future chapters

Marvel Geek 2008: Sorry but I know little about Marvel races other than their main heroes which all all pretty much humans with powers... I've always been a DC Comics fan so sorry if not adding those races disappoint you but I've got no idea about Marvel Comic races other than the mainstream ones any comic reader would easily know

Bloody Widow: Lolth will not be a part of Nazarick, but... you'll see I'm going to add the Drow so I'll let you come to your own conclusion as to what that means lol

Devilkin20: Here's your bloodbath! Don't mind the evil laugh... I quite enjoy them myself :-)

Jakob: How do you know I'm overpowering the Black Scripture? No one knows what level they are, or any one from the New World because Maruyama never does levels for the New World characters... remember in Yggdrasil/Overlord if you are twenty levels higher than what you are fighting, it's nearly impossible for the person who is twenty levels higher to lose unless some special circumstance were to happen such as the person who is lower level possessing a World Item... With that being said, anyone who is level 80 or lower would be nothing more than fodder to anyone from Nazarick who was level 100... I can't wait to see your reaction when I reveal Zesshi's level lol... you might send me death threats lmao

Skyguard12: I will let you know that The Elder Scrolls is my favorite game franchise of all time. I still play Oblivion and Skyrim some times and I love their powers, magic, items, creatures, races, gods, everything about the world so I might add some at some point.

Fallen One 666: We will get more into his experiments not only in this chapter a little bit, but in future chapters as well. Hope you like where I take those aspects of my fanfic

Polo Playa 112: Governor of a province you say. Maybe Queen regent would be a good title instead hehehehe. I think Enri might explode if they give her a title like that lol. As you can tell, I love Enri's character so you'll see more of her for sure as the story progresses.

Guest: this is the massacre at the Katze Plains chapter so read and find out what happened to Gazef in my story :-)

Responses done! Next chapter time!

P.S. Trigger warning: Some parts of this chapter depict rather intense violence and torture if you don't like that I'd skip the end of the first section when Lupus Regina gets to the Prince and possibly some of the Battle of the Katze Plains... just as I had to tell my DanMachi readers in my newest chapter to be posted about some of the sappier moments being blamed on Ed Sheeran and Usher because I was listening to them while doing some editing. You can blame the extra violence and torture on a combination of people asking me to be a little more detailed when it came to violence and me listening to Slayer and Pantera as I edited those parts... Don't actually blame them lol... I did write these words with my own fingers :-)

On the road between E-Rantel and Carne...

As the remnants of the Re-Estize Army led by Prince Barbro finally stopped fleeing as night set in, he was seething in rage. Prince Barbro couldn't believe he was defeated by mere goblins.

It didn't matter where they came from, who they served, or what equipment they had on. He would forever be remembered as the Prince who lost to goblins.

The thought made him so enraged he could barely contain his anger. He wanted nothing more than to turn around and kill all of those goblins, ogres, and villagers but he only had a few hundred men left. If he went to E-Rantel, he might be able to get more troops to go and finish the job, but everyone might wonder where the rest of his army was.

He truly did not want to explain how he lost an army of five thousand when his only objective was to go to a small farming village. The fact that it wasn't a small farming village anymore did not matter in the slightest.

No one would believe him if he told them it now resembled a city instead of a village or that they had an army of over five thousand that consisted of humans, ogres, an undead, and countless goblins.

Prince Barbro finally dismounted his horse as the remainder of his troops came to a halt. His men were completely exhausted from fleeing the battle. Most of them didn't have horses so they ran most of the way. It did not take long for his frustrations to boil over and he began stomping on the ground like a petulant child.

"Damn it. Damn it. Damn it..."

Prince Barbro's stomping and screaming didn't seem to calm his rage at all. In fact, it seemed to just make him angrier. He probably would have gone on like that until he was exhausted if a voice from behind him didn't snap him out of his rage-filled moment. He instinctively draws his sword as he turns towards the voice.

"Hey there buddy~"

Prince Barbro turned to see six maids standing there. At first glance, they were all incredibly beautiful, but they were completely out of place in the middle of this field. He wasn't even sure where they came from or how they snuck up on him.

It was hard not to ogle at all of them. The Prince would have had no qualms about doing it if they were in the city, but the fact that they were in the middle of the plains, with no village around for miles, allowed him to stop himself after only taking in the six of them.

The redhead in the middle had so much leg showing, it was hard to look anywhere on her but there. The sight of her white stalkings drew his attention immediately. The maid with her black hair in a bun and glasses seemed to be the most elegant of them all with the way she carried herself.

The second black-haired maid was almost completely covered up as the first was, but her face was perfection. The blonde maid had the most perfect breasts Prince Barbro had ever laid eyes on, and her very short skirt had him almost drooling.

The orange-haired maid was beautiful, short, and slim as well. The eye patch she wore did little to take away from her beauty. The only one he didn't immediately want to bed was the shortest one with purplish hair.

There seemed to be something off about her and he couldn't really see anything about her. Even her face seemed somewhat different from the rest.

"Now, now." Yuri claps her hands together twice and breaks the Prince out of his ogling. "Don't be so informal with our guest yet, Lupus Regina."

"Awwwww~ but Albedo said..."

"Exalted Queen Albedo."

Yuri corrects her, but Lupus Regina just shrugs her shoulders.

"She told me I could call her Albedo. Owieeeeee~" Yuri chops her on the head to smack some sense into her.

"Not when we are on a diplomatic mission, Lupus Regina. There is protocol and etiquette to follow and you are being a terrible ambassador right now."

"Can we just get on with this. I'm hungry."

Solution chimes in with her opinion and Yuri can't help but just shake her head.

"I see you both need more training. I will have to have a word with Pestonya. It seems my sisters have been slacking off in my absence taking care of Exalted Queen Albedo."

"Awwwww~ Come on Yuri, you know we are the best of the best!~"

Lupus Regina is obviously not down with more training. It is a good thing she gets to miss a lot of it being in Carne. She is sure Solution is going to ask to come more if Yuri goes through with what Lupus Regina sees as a threat.

"D-Diplomatic Mission?! Who exactly are you?"

It seemed their confusing conversation had finally gotten Prince Barbro to do something other than just stare at them. They were all frowning a little at the Prince's initial stutter to his question.

A true Prince would never make such a mistake, it is probably why they were sent to wipe him and his men out. He truly would be useless to the rulers of Nazarick.

It was Yuri who answered the Prince. She fixed her glasses, gave a polite bow, and addressed him in a way that was fitting for the vice-captain of the Pleiades.

"I am Yuri Alpha, vice-captain of the Pleiades. This is Lupus Regina, Narberal, CZ, Solution, and Entoma. We are the Pleiades Combat Maids who serve the rulers of Nazarick. The Exalted King Ainz Ooal Gown and our Exalted Queens Taylar and Albedo Ooal Gown who now also rule over the Saiko Kingdom."

She motioned to each as she said their names and didn't move on until each one had either bowed or curtsied. They may have been sent here to slaughter all these men, but there was no reason not to display proper etiquette beforehand. Especially after mentioning they directly served their King and Queens.

"What did you mean you are here for a diplomatic mission?"

It seemed the Prince had focused on what he thought was the most important information Yuri had said. It made the vice-captain frown somewhat at his tone. The fool was about to be slaughtered and he was acting as if he was in charge of the situation. Before she could answer as a proper diplomat should, Lupus Regina decided she had the best answer.

"Yuri was just trying to sound all polite~ We came here to play with you~ ssu~"

Prince Barbro smiled at Lupus Regina's words. He couldn't tell if it was because of the thought of him getting to play with them, or if it was the ridiculously sultry voice that Lupus Regina always seemed to use.

"I suppose getting to have fun with you lot would start to make up for the slight your masters have given the crown."

"Ewwwww~" It seemed Lupus Regina was disgusted by that idea. "A weak, pathetic human such as you will never touch this body~ The only man who ever will is our wonderful Lord Ainz~ All he needs to do is ask~ I would love to be the Mistress of our Exalted rulers~ I bet they're wonderful in the sac-"

Yuri Alpha chops Lupus Regina on the head again when she sees her staring off into space getting lost in her inappropriate thoughts. Yuri would also love the same thing but this was no place for such a conversation.

"I apologize for Lupus Regina. It seems all her time away has forced some bad habits into her that I will deal with later. However, her words ring true. You seem to have misunderstood what she meant by that."

"Oh? And what did she mean by that?"

Prince Barbro couldn't fathom her meaning anything else and he was pissed she called him weak and pathetic. Who the hell was this lowly maid to call the Crown Prince of the Re-Estize Kingdom such words? It was not Yuri who answered him though. It was the blonde named Solution who spoke instead.

"She meant, we are here to massacre all of you."

The calm, yet predatory way she had answered his question made him visibly gulp for a moment. Then he remembered their odds. The remainder of his army might be exhausted and mostly asleep, but there were only six of them and hundreds of his troops. Even if they could overtake all his men, he was the Crown Prince. He was much too valuable as a hostage to just kill.

"Oh yeah? You and what army?"

"Ssu~" Lupus Regina can't help but giggle. "We offered to slaughter your entire army before Enri embarrassed you~ What makes you think you and a few hundred exhausted, sleep-deprived, demoralized troops would be any different?~"

Prince Barbro had essentially reached his boiling point. He was red with anger, and maybe a little flushed from Lupus Regina. He had no idea why when she spoke it always seemed sexy.

Even when she was obviously threatening or even disgusted, her voice had a way to make him shiver that could only be described as desire. It was unnerving, to say the least.

"You think you can follow through with that nonsense?! Do you know who I am?! I am Crown Prince of the Re-Estize Kingdom Barbro Andrean Ield Ryle Vaiself!"

"You are still just a human."

The maid with her black hair in a ponytail, Narberal, says to Prince Barbro.

"Also, we already knew you were a prince."

Yuri, the only one who seemed to know how to talk to a Prince followed up after Narberal.

"I... see. So you are going to kill everyone but me?! I can't say that's a good idea. You will need others to send back when you take me hostage to negotiate. Without doing that, it will get difficult for your masters."

Prince Barbro thought he figured it out, but the reactions of the maids said otherwise. All six of them just looked at him and tilted their heads. It looked to the Prince as though they thought he said something strange.

"What nonsense are you spouting?~ As Solution so eloquently put it... Ma~ ssa~ cre~ It's called a massacre because we are going to kill every single one of you~ I know you are only a human but is your brain really not developed enough to figure that out?~"

"But I am the Crown Prince of the Re-Estize Kingdom! Do you not realize my value?! You do not kill the Crown Prince, you negotiate a ransom for a noble so valuable!"

"This human is dumber than I thought."

"Agree."

Solution seemed agitated at how dumb the Crown Prince of a human kingdom could be, and it seemed CZ agreed with her.

"I wOnDeR iF hIs MeAt Is As YoUnG aS hIs BrAiN?"

Entoma just seemed to be wondering if he would taste like veal. Solution was probably wondering the same thing but didn't voice it.

"Now, ladies." Yuri claps again. "The Prince here was promised to Lupus Regina. Unless of course, she does not wish to have fun with him."

"Sorry sisters, I have a special treat planned for the Crown Prince here~"

This is the point Prince Barbro realized none of this was a jest. The smiles on the maids faces as Lupus Regina said that were beautiful, happy, and... murderous. He knew there was no jest in there anywhere.

"You... You are... really going to... kill me?!"

None of the maids could tell if it was a question, a plea, a statement, or what, but the terror in his eyes made all of them delight the same.

"You know~ I like the way you said that~ I think I might be starting to like you~"

Lupus Regina seemed to enjoy his predicament and a small flicker of hope could be seen in the eyes of the Prince.

"So you're not going to..."

Yuri cut him off for the first time and did not let him finish asking his question.

"You are not needed in the plans we have for your kingdom. Which is why we are here to massacre all of you. Thus, no one can leave here alive. Not even you."

"I did think about this quite a bit~ I was going to deal with you first but~" Lupus Regina pauses and puts her fingers on her chin like she is contemplating something. "Our exalted rulers wish for us to try and split the kills as evenly as possible~ There would be no time to enjoy playing with you~ Soooooo~" she draws it out to torment him some more. " Solution, if you would please~"

Before he knew what was happening, the blonde maid was in front of him and he felt a pinch in his neck. Right after that sensation, he couldn't move anything.

It was as though his whole body locked up. He was still gripping his sword in front of him but could not move a muscle. It wasn't only his muscles that weren't responding. He could only move his eyes around. He couldn't even close his eyelids and he had no idea what had just happened. Solution gave him the answer though just inches from his face.

"A neurotoxin create for me by the Supreme Being that created me. He modeled it after a fish from his home world known as a puffer fish. You will be like this for quite a few hours and only able to move your eyes around, but you will feel everything done to you."

The terrifying smirk she gave when she finished made him piss himself.

"Oh~ I guess those functions still work as well~ ssu~"

Lupus Regina seemed to find his terror all too entertaining. Even Yuri had to use her hand to suppress a giggle and not lose her composure.

"Now~" Lupus Regina moved up to the Prince, grabbed him by the shoulders, picked him up, and turned him around. "You can watch as we cut your men to pieces~ Only then will I get to you~ And I have a lot planned for you~ I might not be as good as Solution, but~" her wicked grin would have made him piss himself if he didn't just moments ago. "I'll show you I'm not that bad myself~ ssu~" she giggles once more. "You can't have a slaughter without the laughter~"

"Remember sisters." Yuri gets their attention. "Try to stick to no more than one hundred kills. That should make it as even as we can make it in the middle of battle."

All of the maids just nodded their heads to Yuri. The Prince could do nothing but listen to them as he faced his now doomed men. This would have been the point where waking his soldiers as soon as he saw the maids would have been a good idea.

As he saw the maids sprint past him towards the first soldiers to dispatch, he could do nothing to warn them. Their screams of pain and agony filled the air and it started to wake his troops and draw the ones already awake towards the noise.

It just hastens the slaughter.

The Prince watched as Lupus Regina wielded her enormous weapons and cleaved three or more men at a time in half as though they were made of paper. Just when he thought she couldn't get more terrifying, she stuck out her hand towards a group of men trying to flee and yelled.

*FIRESTORM*

Lupus Regina let off her tier 7 attack spell on the fleeing cowards and all thirty of them were consumed in flames and turned to ash. The slowly cooling puddles of metal the only sign anything had even been there before the spell was cast.

Prince Barbro looked to the side farther away and a little hope blossomed for him when he saw about fifty horses trying to flee. Even they couldn't keep up with that many fleeing horses so someone would get away and tell them of what happened.

The more he observed though, the more despair set in. Half the horses were running around frantically. He saw why when he realized their riders were missing their heads. He saw another rider's head explode as he watched and heard a peculiar noise.

He looked up and saw the orange-haired maid with a strange weapon in her hands floating in the sky. It was making the peculiar sound and his men's heads were exploding every time the noise was heard. He even heard the maid counting as she pulled the trigger.

"Twenty-Eight, Twenty-Nine, Thirty..."

He looked around hoping to see someone getting away when he noticed the blonde maid, Solution, making her way through his men as if she was dancing. She was slicing his men on their arms and legs with strange weapons formed from her fingers. His men would either, drop their weapons, fall to their knees, or both.

Most of them fell into the last category as the maid was moving so fast it was hard to tell when she cut all four of their limbs. His hope was quickly fading as he found the black-haired maid named Yuri.

Yuri was easily weaving through the ranks of this so-called army as a trained professional would. She found she didn't even need to use her abilities since their heads were exploding after a single normal blow.

So Yuri simply concentrated on her orders and dispatched each enemy as quickly as possible. She needed to get to her count of one hundred so she could make sure the others were following orders. Some of them had picked up some bad habits being outside of Nazarick so much and she would need to train that out of them.

Prince Barbro couldn't watch the brutal display Yuri was putting on so he tried to look somewhere else. When he did, he wished he hadn't taken his eyes off Yuri.

The maid with the purplish hair he was weary of to start with was chewing on the arm of one of his men. She seemed to treat it as a snack and toss it aside when it was nothing but bone.

To add to his horror, there was a swarm of bugs devouring a good portion of his men as the maid sliced off a leg to resume her feast of yet another of his fallen soldiers. He could feel the bile in his stomach but he was too paralyzed to actually throw up so the taste stuck in his throat and mouth.

Prince Barbro could only look towards the only part of his army that he hadn't observed yet and he got hopeful once more. About a hundred men were fleeing together and it seemed none of the maids had even noticed them.

He lost all hope though when he heard another voice above him. "Cowardly insects." He looked up to see the maid named Narberal floating above him, looking directly at that group of troops. The Prince looked at the group, hoping she could not kill that many men at once when he heard her say.

*[MAXIMIZE MAGIC] WHIRLWIND*

Narberal unleashes her tier 8 air spell on the entire group of fleeing men. A tornado forms right in the center of the group and picks every single one of them up and into its vortex. Prince Barbro can see his men spinning around inside.

He hears their screams and pleas as their limbs start flying out of the tornado. The ground around them gets redder by the second until there are no screams and only a puddle of blood and scattered limbs in the area.

The thought of his men being ripped apart piece by pieces in that vortex of death made him realize his fate would be crueler than he ever imagined possible. Narberal seemed unaffected as she just floated there with an emotionless expression.

It wasn't until he observed her for a few moments that he realized she had a slight smile on her face but it only appeared when one of his men could be heard begging or screaming.

For the first time in his life, Prince Barbro truly prayed. It was not for salvation, it was not for remorse of past deeds, or to lay bare his sins before being sent to the afterlife.

No. He was praying for a quick death and nothing more.

The more he watched the carnage, the more he despaired and realized his prayers would not be answered. His men were literally being torn apart by these maids. It did not matter if it was by magic, weapon, or their bare hands. The entire field was covered in blood.

It was not appropriate to call this a battlefield, for that was not what just happened. The only thing that he could think of was Solution and Lupus Regina's words ringing through his mind.

This is a massacre.

'Ma~ ssa~ cre~'

'Ma~ ssa~ cre~'

'Ma~ ssa~ cre~'

He was going mad watching this happen to his men as Lupus Regina's voice played over and over in his mind. It wasn't until everything went quiet and he saw Lupus Regina in front of him once more that he realized all his men were dead already. It took these six maids only a few minutes to massacre all of his men.

Lupus Regina pulled something shiny out of her maid outfit and held it up to Prince Barbro's face. The Prince had never seen an instrument like this before. It was barely bigger than the maid's finger, and the blade at the end was small and looked a little jagged. He could only imagine what that is for.

"Solution was kind enough to let me borrow this for our time together~ Most people who noticed this design would think I had a scalpel in my hand~ ssu~ They would be close~ It was designed after one and just as sharp, but...~ Unfortunately for you, this one is designed jagged for maximum pain and not surgery~"

Tear are now running down the Prince's face along with a good deal of snot.

"Don't worry Prince~ It's just as sharp so it will still cut through you~"

Lupus Regina gave him her wicked smile as she drug the modified scalpel down the side of his face. Prince Barbro was screaming, but just on the inside.

The poison he was inflicted with did not allow him to voice any of his pain. Lupus Regina did not stop her tracing until she reached the middle of his chin.

"Very good Lupus Regina. Now, just do the same on the other side and you should be able to remove his face with no problem."

Solution complemented the werewolf on her work. Pleased with how well she has been learning. Lupus Regina just smiled at the compliment and continued her work.

She was determined to become just as good at this as Solution was so she just be useful to the rulers of Nazarick in any way she would be needed.

Once Lupus Regina had finished her work and the blood was slowly dripping from Prince Barbro's face, she grabs a hold of his chin and his eyes went wide, realizing what was about to happen.

Lupus Regina grabbed the skin at the bottom of his face and started to carefully peel it upward. Every inch she went exposed more and more of the face beneath the despicable human in front of her.

Since she could not hear him scream, the look in his eyes would have to do for now, and oh how glorious it was. Lupus Regina could almost hear his screams by looking in his eyes.

The sheer pain and terror reflected in them was starting to make her rub her thighs together. There was little that could get her going more than watching people suffer, especially if that suffering was at her hands.

Now that his face had been completely peeled back and was resting on the top of his head, Lupus Regina wondered if that is how Nigredo ended up without a face. She would have to ask Albedo one of these days.

Once she decided on that, she picked the scalpel up once more. She moved on to his neck and slowly started sliding it down the side. She was determined to take off all his skin while he could feel it.

This would make her useful to Demiurge on his farm if he ever needed a hand. This was a job she could certainly learn to enjoy doing. She had only made it a little way down his neck when Solution interrupted her.

"Wait... change your angle towards his back or you will hit an artery and he will bleed out too fast."

Lupus Regina did as she was told and changed directions. She was glad for Solution's training and advice. Even if the blonde maid wasn't the one doing the torturing, she seemed to be enjoying it none the less.

Lupus Regina had only made it down his neck and shoulder before she noticed his eyes starting to glaze over. It would be no good if he was to space out somehow and not feel every inch of this blade cutting into him. She would need to do something about that.

She ceased her careful tracing, grabbed the scalpel in her fist, and drove it forcefully into his gut. She even twisted it for good measure.

The look on his skinless face and eyes let her know she was successful in bringing the pain back to the front of his mind so she went back to her former task.

"Can't have you spacing out on us, Prince Barbro~ What good would it be to torture you if you didn't feel it?~"

Once she hit the end of his shoulder, she started her path down his sides. She would peel him apart layer by layer like an onion. She went down his side to just about his ass and cut her way across the small of his back and back up the other side.

By the time she had made it back up to the other side of his neck, there was a puddle of nothing but blood, tears, and urine below the Crown Prince. Lupus Regina looked very satisfied with her work and it seemed Solution was just as pleased with her student.

"Now remember, this time, don't be gentle, just rip that shit off. It will feel to him like he is dying all over again."

Solution gave Lupus Regina one of her predatory smiles and Lupus Regina just nodded. She grabbed his skin at the base of his neck and yanked as hard as she could. She could tell it had to have been as painful as Solution said because Prince Barbro had somehow let out a whimper even though he shouldn't be able to make any noises.

"Hmm~ I wonder~"

Lupus Regina has an idea from an old memory. It was something one of the Supreme Beings had said once. She couldn't remember which one, but she wanted to try it anyway. Solution looked perplexed at Lupus Regina when she noticed her stop and reach into her inventory.

When she saw what she pulled out, Solution smiled. She had yet to inform Lupus Regina about such a normal substance being able to cause more pain but it seemed Lupus Regina had either gotten the idea or heard it somewhere before.

Lupus Regina walked to the front of the Prince and looked him straight in the eye as she held up a clear container with white crystals inside. She looked like she was enjoying this way too much.

His eyes followed the container as she took the top off and shook it at his face. When the little crystals hit his exposed muscles and tendons, he managed to actually scream a little in pain. It felt like everywhere that crystal hit was on fire worse than he ever imagined possible.

"It seems the Supreme Beings were right~ Salt in the wound does make it worse~ ssu~"

Lupus Regina seemed very proud that she had figured that out on her own. Anything new she could learn to bring pain and suffering to others would always brighten up her day.

"Now~ Let's trying something different~"

Lupus Regina throws the skin from the Prince's back on the ground in front of him and rips his pants off. It was time to try Neuronist's favorite technique to get information out of her chorus.

This time though, the only information Lupus Regina was after was more impossible screams from her playmate. She couldn't help but laugh and hold up her pinky in front of the Prince's face once she had actually removed his pants.

"Y-Y-You thought... you th-th-thought... you could... please even one of us... with... that!~"

She can't help but point at it. She would have a better time using her own fingers if that was all this Prince was packing. How did he think he would please all six of them? Surely he knew that wouldn't please even a virgin. The thought made her bust out laughing. Even Solution couldn't help but laugh.

Once Lupus Regina had her fun at the Prince's expense. She held up a long silver instrument that looked like it contained a spiked ball at the end. She never explained what she was going to do with that, she just thrust it into his dick and he let out another whimper along with more tears as she twisted it inside his manhood.

She yanked it out with just as much force as she thrust it into him and her face showed the elation she felt as she heard his whimpers of pain. Lupus Regina couldn't help it, she shoved it right back in and twisted again. She was rewarded with another whimper that almost actually sounded like a scream. She yanked the instrument out again.

It would be nice to hear him make his impossible screams some more but doing the same torture technique to obtain her screams would get boring.

Lupus Regina decided on a new approach. She got inches from his face and her tone changed to soft and seductive instead of predatory and murderous.

"My poor Prince~ I have been awfully rough with you~ I know what you need~ Some pleasure before more pain~ I'll show you how a member of the Pleiades beat someone off to relieve you a bit, my Prince~"

Her smile was so sexy, the prince believed her for a few moments. He truly believed, after all she had already done, that she was going to at least give him a little pleasure. Instead of going for his manhood though, she grabbed his wrist and lifted his arm out beside him.

She grabbed a knife from her belt and cut his arm off at the shoulder, right where she stopped scalping him to remove his back skin. He felt the pain shoot through his entire body as her knife sliced through his skin. He let out another whimper but before the pain could truly set in, Lupus Regina put a hand on his shoulder and said.

*CLOSE WOUND*

Prince Barbro's bleeding stump of a shoulder immediately formed new skin and stopped bleeding. The pain was still there but he would not be dying of blood loss any time soon.

Lupus Regina just smirked at him as she spread his legs a little farther apart. She grabbed his severed arm by the wrist and swung it upward into his crotch. A sickening crunch could be heard as his severed arm impacted his manhood and it even made Yuri flinch.

"Oh my~ Seems one of your testicles exploded~ I bet that didn't feel good~ ssu~"

Lupus Regina taunted him one more time before reeling back and hitting him in the crotch with his severed arm once more. The sickening crunch continued as she beat his crotch with his severed arm. None on the field witnessed this but Ainz had to look away from the screen.

The next one was definitely his other testicle exploding but no one was sure what the other ones were from. More than likely, it was the bones in his hips and arms that were being crushed against one another as she beat him with his own arm.

After Lupus Regina had beaten him enough to her liking with his own arm, and his manhood was just a dangling mess hanging between his crotch, she tossed his arm aside, and picked up his back skin from the ground. She began slowly shoving the skin down his throat as she said.

"I hope you liked my hand job~ ssu~ Now, since I would never to such a lowly human~ It is you that has to swallow since you are finished~"

That sadistic smile never left her face as she stuffed his mouth full of his own skin. She made sure to leave a little room so he could breathe a bit. It wouldn't be good if he suffocated or passed out before she could have some more fun.

Once she had put enough skin in his mouth and it was hanging down his chest like a bib, she grabbed her next instrument. If you were thinking it would be some modified surgical tool, you would only be half right.

Lupus Regina pulled out a rusty saw.

She said nothing after she showed Prince Barbro her next tool. Lupus Regina simply crouched down, put the saw to his ankle, and began to saw. Prince Barbro's blood was flying everywhere along with chunks of his skin as Lupus Regina sawed his foot off with a dull, rusty saw. When she was just about to break through the bone, she stopped and stood up.

"Ssu~ I never knew human royalty could be so fun!~ I underestimated you Prince Barbro~"

Then she started on his other ankle. The process was the same. She needed to use a lot of force to get through his skin, muscles, and bone since the saw was so dull, but she persevered none the less.

Once she almost got through that ankle, she stopped again. She stood to the side of the Prince and whispered in his ear.

"Why don't you rest for a bit?~"

Lupus Regina then swept her leg at both of his ankles and they snapped off. His feet stayed in place but the rest of his body planted into the ground, face first. Lupus Regina pulled out her salt and rained it down on his skinned back. He began to make a noise that was a true scream at this point and it filled Lupus Regina with a sense of accomplishment.

Lupus Regina kicked him over so he was facing the sky after. She wanted him to feel the grass, dirt, rocks, and sticks in his skinless back as she finished him off.

She went to work with Solution's help once more but this time on his front. She peeled off small chunks of flesh piece by piece. Solution told her it was more painful and easier to miss major organs and arteries if you did the front like this. She never stopped until the only skin remaining on the prince was from his hips down.

All the Pleiades could see his internal organs still working inside his body as Lupus Regina pulled him apart as though he was a pig being served at a feast. The only one who reacted really at all was Entoma, and that was just because she was drooling thinking of being able to eat some of him. She really wanted to know if he tasted like veal.

"I bet I know why you didn't enjoy my hand job~"

Lupus Regina starts pulling the skin out of his mouth, lays it on the ground, and lines it up on his back as best she can. She begins putting the pieces of his front flesh back in, lays his face down where it should be, and once everything is in place, she puts her hand on him and says.

*CURE CRITICAL WOUNDS*

The tier 4 healing spell goes off and Prince Barbro is almost back to his old self. The exception would be his missing arm and feet. This spell did not restore missing limbs and Lupus Regina didn't want him to get them back yet. She had plans for those feet of his.

"You didn't like it because you must have a foot fetish~" Lupus Regina picks up one of his feet still planted on the ground. "That has to be it~ I know you will enjoy this~"

She grabs the sole of his boot and angles the bottom of his protruding bone right towards him and pushes it into his ass with all the force she can muster. It seemed the cure spell must have dulled some of the poison as well.

She came to that conclusion when the Prince cried out like a baby as his broken, jagged, sharp bone penetrated his ass and he started bleeding all over the ground once more. Lupus Regina didn't seem to enjoy this as much as she kicked his foot into his ass like she was hitting a nail with a hammer. His cries of pain were satisfying but it seemed something was missing.

"Oh I know~"

Lupus Regina has another light bulb moment and grabs the bottom of his leg still attached to his body. She pulls out another knife, but this one looks like a meat cleaver. She wastes no time and severs his leg right below his hip. She places her hand on the wound and says.

*CLOSE WOUND*

Prince Barbro's leg wound closes again and he sees the sadistic look in the werewolf maids eye. He knew somehow this would be even worse than the first time and he could do nothing to stop the tears that started spilling from his eyes.

"Oh~ I love that face~ See, I knew what you needed~ You like it when it's two at once~"

Lupus Regina kicked his foot harder so it went even deeper into him then she rained down blows on his crotch with his severed leg. The sadistic smile on her face never left as she said.

"See!~ I knew it!~ You not only like double penetration, but you're a leg man!~"

After beating him again with his own limb and making sure his asshole was thoroughly stretched, beaten, impaled, and bloody, Lupus Regina started on removing his skin once more. She had improved dramatically in just a few minutes and it took half the time to scalp the sorry Prince.

It seemed Prince Barbro had enough and so did Lupus Regina as the Prince wasn't reacting to any of the torture she was inflicting once she removed his back skin again. She seems to have broken him completely again and can tell from the look in his eyes that he is not present in reality any longer.

She planned on doing the same thing again with his other two, still attached, limbs but that should be enough suffering for now. She would no doubt get to test her skills again soon.

Lupus Regina reaches into his chest cavity, grabs his heart, and rips it out in one swift motion. She holds it up in front of his skinless face and lets the blood drip into his eyes as the light leaves him. She drops it right down on top of him and turns to the rest of the Pleiades.

"Well that was fun~ ssu~ Shall we head back now?~"

"You are a very good student Lupus Regina, my compliments on a job well done."

Solution seemed happy with her progress but before she could strike up a conversation with the blonde maid, Yuri interrupted.

"Yes, let's head back. I'm sure their majesties would like a full report."

With that, the Pleiades disappeared from the plains. The entire area was a mass of blood and limbs, but that didn't bother them. Others from Nazarick would be sent to collect the bodies that could be used for creating undead. They simply needed to give their reports.

---

Ainz was staring at the four monitors Aureole had floating over the table in the war tent. The reports Aureole and Cocytus put together were very accurate. The Empire brought sixty thousand troops with them and the Kingdom brought two hundred and fifty thousand.

The Empire's assault should much resemble that of a Roman Legion. They formed their troops up in the same manner and even used a lot of their wordings. Their cavalry would be on the flanks with their infantry in the center and their bowman in front.

That way they wouldn't have to move when the army charged. There would be about ten thousand soldiers kept in reserve to fortify any struggling position so it should be easy to predict their movements.

The Kingdom on the other hand would attack much like the other countries of the same time period as the Romans. They would attack with little coordination with each noble looking for glory on a battlefield. It would make it seem as though they were fighting weak barbarians since very little tactics would be used by the Kingdom.

They had seventy five thousand troops on each flank and one hundred thousand troops in the central column. He was excited to see what would happen to those one hundred thousand troops in the central column when he unleashed his Super-Tier Spell.

He knew for certain that the Empire would face his wrath. Well, not his actually since he was dealing with the Kingdom's army. Taylar, Rubedo, the Pleiades, and some of his army would deal with the Empire. The Emperor didn't even come to the final parley so he would get no mercy.

Ainz was not pleased with who would be accompanying him to fight the Kingdom's army. He didn't mind the army that would help or whatever summon he would get from his Super-Tier Spell, but having Aureole be the one to accompany him did not sit well with him.

Unfortunately, she wormed her way into accompanying him by using his own argument as to why no one could accompany him against him. He thought he was rather ingenious when he thought it up. He constantly teleported around and no one would be able to keep up with his movements so it was pointless for someone to tag alone.

Ainz had no idea why he thought she would forget, or maybe he is the one that forgot. Aureole pointed out that she can not only anticipate teleportation near her, but she also has a tier 8 spell called greater anticipate teleport that would allow her, to not only follow him, but redirect his teleportations and dimensional moves if he accidentally went somewhere too dangerous.

Aureole promised to not take part in combat unless absolutely necessary and would only be there to make sure nothing got him in the back or he went somewhere too dangerous. Ainz definitely thought appealing to Taylar would stop her from going. There was no way she would let her daughter step foot in the middle of the battlefield, but Ainz was wrong there.

He didn't even get to ask, she was already nodding her head in approval before he even said anything. If she wasn't going to deny her, there was no way anyone else would say anything. So somehow, he got stuck being followed around by his daughter so she would keep him out of trouble.

'Wasn't he the one supposed to keep her out of trouble?'

It seemed riders were approaching the center of the battlefield flying white flags so the final parley would begin in a few moments. Ainz stood up from his seat and everyone else did as well. They all made their way out of the tent but only those going to the parley continued walking towards the center of the battlefield.

Those from Nazarick following Ainz were Taylar, Aureole, Albedo, Cocytus, Sebas, Rubedo, and the Pleiades. The Pleiades were serving as guards to appease the rest of the guardians. Sebas and Cocytus were Albedo's personal guards, Rubedo was Taylar's, and Aureole somehow was his.

'Once again, aren't I supposed to be the one protecting her? My Queens and daughter must think I'm nothing but reckless.'

Ainz did manage to chuckle even if it shouldn't be that funny. It was to him. Both his Queens thought their daughter was more responsible than he was. It was quite humorous if you thought about it.

When the group made it to the center, Ainz frowned a bit. He understood that the Emperor didn't show up so he didn't plan on listening to anything the Empire's lackey had to say, but he saw the King of Re-Estize in his tent. Why didn't he come himself? Ainz brought his whole damn family as was expected.

He didn't think the King would bring the whole family, they were nothing like his, but he should have at least came himself. Instead, he sent Marquis Raeven, Gazef Stronoff, Marquis Blumrush, and Marquis Boullope.

'Does he think sending three of his so-called Great Nobles and the Warrior Captain would make up for him not coming himself?'

Ainz is now more pissed than anything. He even brought a pregnant Albedo to this damn parley and that weak, lazy king couldn't drag his old bones a few hundred meters out to meet him?

No fucking way was this going to fly.

'Alright then, show of force it is.'

But as soon as all three parties met in the middle, and before Ainz could voice his displeasure, Aureole's voice cut through the air.

"Father..." she turns to him. "May I handle this... negotiation?"

Ainz wants to say yes immediately. Aureole still seemed set on never inheriting Nazarick and he was hoping she would change her mind. She was perfect for it, but had no interest in it. He wanted just to say yes because he knew he would love how she handled it and point it out repeatedly as to why she should rule Nazarick one day.

On the other hand, if he just relinquished power that easily these other nobles may see it as some former of weakness he has for his daughter. He did honestly, but it was best they didn't know that. Ainz is pretty sure he has never said no to Aureole, or said no for very long would be more accurate.

"Is there a reason you wish to head up these negotiation, daughter?"

Ainz didn't miss all of the Empire and Kingdom's representatives eyes widen when they realized this was the daughter of Ainz Ooal Gown. It probably threw them for a loop considering he was a Fallen Angel and his Queens were an Angel and a Succubus respectively. Aureole looked human and she technically was, immortal human was still a human.

"Not that anyone exists to match your station, father, but neither of the rulers showed up for these negotiation so there is no reason for you or either of my mothers to speak. While I believe being a Princess is too much for what has arrived to parley, I know you respect the Warrior Captain Gazef Stronoff so I will also do the same and speak to him as a Princess of Nazarick and the Saiko Kingdom."

In all honesty, Ainz wanted to hug Aureole right then and there. He knew he should let her choose her own path but he really wanted her to take over Nazarick. She was brilliant all the time.

Not only did she point out to the others why him handing the reigns to her was not a weakness on his part, but a slight on who showed up. She even managed to lessen the slight of the Kingdom by saying she respected the Warrior Captain as he did, but also slight the nobles again because he was a commoner.

He wanted to clap at her performance. It was spectacular.

"Very well Aureole. I will let you handle this how you see fit."

"Thank you, father!"

Aureole beamed a smiled at Ainz then turned towards the delegates gathered. Her smile was gone by the time they saw her face, and only a serious look, almost a frown, was on her face before she addressed them. She gave a slight bow and began.

"Greetings, I am Princess Aureole, daughter of Exalted King Ainz Ooal Gown, Exalted Queen Taylar Ooal Gown, and adopted daughter of Exalted Queen Albedo Ooal Gown. We are pleased to see you here for this parley as delegates Warrior Captain Gazef Stronoff, General Nimble, Climb, General Kasin, Marquis Raeven, Marquis..."

As Aureole greeted each delegate by name, much to the surprise of most of them, Ainz leaned toward Taylar and started whispering.

"She even managed to slight all the nobles by greeting the commoners first just to piss them off more because their monarchs didn't show up. Can she please take over for us now?"

To Taylar, it honestly sounded as if Ainz was begging for permission to force her into it. The look on his face said otherwise though. He just looked proud.

"I certainly wish she would reconsider. She'd be better at it than us."

Taylar tried not to giggle at their exchange but she couldn't help it. Watching a girl who looked no older than sixteen politely, yet scoldingly, greet men two or three times her age like she owned the place was quite amusing.

"I don't know. The Queen of Order Albedo seems to be made to run a country. I'm sure together, they would be unstoppable. We could just retire. I wouldn't mind spending the rest of my days making and raising children."

Ainz couldn't help the playful smirk he sent towards Albedo. He knew she could hear what they were saying as well. Albedo didn't seem to mind the idea. She just smiled back at him and added a playful wink.

It seemed play time was over though because Aureole's voice got serious again.

"Now, before we begin. There is two people that still need to join us."

After Aureole said that, she simply pointed to the open space in the middle of the three delegations. No one knew why but that is because they can't sense the magic of a silent spell going off near them.

*[SILENT - TWIN MAGIC] FORCED TELEPORTATION*

A gold lounge chair with red cushions appears in the left side of the clearing. Sitting atop the chair was the Emperor of the Baharuth Empire. He was looking up at the sky about to eat a grape but stopped when he realized he could see the sky and turned toward Aureole.

In the right side of the clearing appeared a wooden throne with gems in it. King Ramposa III sat upon this throne staring directly into the eyes of Aureole. Neither monarch had any idea how they appeared in the center of the parley they were just observing.

It was especially unnerving to Emperor Jircniv. He was just in the Empire, thousands of miles away, protected by Fluder Paradyne's magic, but that didn't seem to make any difference. Neither got to say a word as Aureole continued.

"You both have disrespected and threatened my mother and father too much and this latest slight is my final straw."

She glares at the both of them and their mouths clamp shut at what they were about to say.

"The entire royal family of our kingdom shows up to this parley, even pregnant Mother Albedo, one my father shouldn't have granted you due to your disrespect of his generous proposals, and you send lackey's in your stead?..."

"Who are you calling..."

*[SILENT] TELEKINESIS*

Marquis Blumrush starts to interrupt Aureole but she just points her finger at him and begins raising it higher in the air. The Marquis raises from his horse as she does this and soon he is floating fifty feet in the air trying hard not to piss himself.

"Don't interrupt me, worm! Since your monarch has ruined his chance at a parley, you should either run after this battle or hope you die. Don't think we won't purge the unloyal nobles like yourself who sell your countries secrets to the Empire."

Marquis Boullope can't help but chuckle at Blumrush finally being exposed with no consequences for any in the noble faction. He isn't laughing for very long as he feels a glare and a lot of killing intent directed at him. It takes all he has not to release his bowels on the spot.

"What are you laughing at Marquis Boullope? You think we don't know you do the same thing for the Slaine Theocracy?"

The man turns pale white at the accusation wondering how in the world this little girl knew that.

"My father offers to protect part of your kingdom, which is actually his, but he generously let's you keep most of it. Because you can't protect them yourselves. You have a weak king and corrupt nobles who care for no one but themselves. He even saved your beloved Warrior Captain, and you disrespect him at every turn."

Aureole turns to the Emperor, points at him, and continues her lecture.

"And YOU! You send people to assault and plunder our home because you think you are smart. Then your guards threaten my MOTHER! If it wasn't for Leinas coming from your shit country, and my mother showing your guards they were pathetic insects. I would have leveled your palace months ago!"

Aureole glares back and forth at all of them. She isn't directing her killing intent at any one of them, but all of them. They can all feel it rooting them in place. It feels like the air is pushing down on them and holding them there.

"My parents have been too generous and now you have left us no choice. You think you are superior and don't have to answer to us diplomatically so we will teach you misbehaving children the error of your ways. You will see the power of Nazarick! This day will be remember for millennia as a warning to those who oppose us."

*[SILENT - TWIN MAGIC] TELEPORTATION CIRCLE*

As soon as Aureole finishes, she moves both her hand in front of her like she is cleaning the delegates off a canvas and they all disappear except Emperor Jircniv. Aureole stares him dead in the eye. "Enjoy the show." she snaps her fingers.

*[SILENT] FORCED TELEPORTATION*

Now that Aureole's rant is over and every one of them was out of her sight, she turns to her parents. She did go a little overboard but she hoped they didn't mind.

Thinking of the Emperor sending those workers to Nazarick got her blood boiling. Only thinking of Leinas and Arche kept her from burning the man on the spot.

When Aureole noticed that not only her parents, but everyone from Nazarick was staring at her with a look of awe on their faces. She started rocking back and forth on her heels while she fidgeted with her fingers thinking she went a little too far. That was until a huge grin broke out on Ainz face and he said.

"Shall we all kneel for Queen Aureole, ruler of the New World?"

It was meant to be a jest but everyone except Ainz, Taylar, and Albedo either didn't realize that or they felt compelled to do it from her speech.

They all knelt.

Ainz could tell Aureole was about to protest but he wouldn't let her. This would be another fantastic way to remind her she should rule Nazarick so he moved to her quickly and scooped her up in his arms.

It wasn't the right thing to do considering their location but he couldn't help himself. He couldn't stop himself from peppering kisses all over her cheeks, forehead, and nose either.

"You... are... so... perfect... my... daughter..."

Aureole giggled for a moment at his words and his kisses tickling her, but then she also remember something. Not only were they on a battlefield, but a lot of those from Nazarick were watching.

"Father! Stop! Put me down this instant! I'm not a little baby!"

Ainz sets her down when she starts protesting. Aureole is happy that he did, but the mischievous smile her father had after he set her on the ground, she didn't like one bit.

"As you command, Queen Aureole!"

Ainz puts his hand over his heart and gives her a bow. He was trying to mimic Demiurge as best he could. He knew she would dislike this teasing as well, but he honestly wanted to do it. That was simply spectacular, and exactly what Demiurge would do if he wasn't guarding Nazarick with Shalltear.

"Father!"

"Alright Ainz, leave the poor girl alone. You know our daughter isn't good at accepting praise especially when you give it to her like that."

Taylar thought the entire exchange was adorable. It was a good change of mood for a little bit. The mood on these plains was about to get brutal, dark, terrifying, and awe inducing.

"Let's get this over with."

Ainz said that more as a fact and nothing else. It did not bother him in the slightest that he was about to kill over a hundred thousand people himself. As Aureole said, misbehaving children needed to be taught a lesson and this seemed to be the only lesson they understood.

Ainz starts making his way back toward the camp with Albedo, Sebas, and Cocytus, but doesn't get more than half way back when he points at the crest of the hill. A tall, black throne appears from nowhere and he leads Albedo to her seat.

Aura and Mare are already there with the pillows for Albedo. He makes sure she is comfortable and has a good view then turns to her guards.

"Sebas, Cocytus, you know you orders. Nothing gets within three feet of her. I don't care if it is a fly, nothing!"

"As you command, Lord Ainz."

Both of the guardians give him a bow and he turns to Aura and Mare.

"You two will guard Albedo as well. If she deems it necessary, she may ask you to aid me against the Kingdom. That will only happen if she says so, do I make myself clear you two?"

Both of the Dark Elves bow their heads to him.

"Yes, Lord Ainz."

"Good. Now, my Queen." Ainz kisses Albedo. "I hope you enjoy the show."

"I'm sure I will, my love." Albedo smiles at him and gets comfortable.

Ainz makes his way back to where everyone else is still waiting. Everyone was in their full battle gear for this fight. The exception would be the gauntlets he added to Taylar's equipment.

As far as they could tell, no one who was level 100 could gain any experience in this world. Even Surshana was stuck at his level when he was transported here according to his notes.

Ainz couldn't imagine being stuck at level 60, and being limited to tier 7 or lower magic in this world. It would still be possible to take it over but he would need all of Nazarick for it and fighting the Dragon Lords and Elf King would be a nightmare.

Ainz and Taylar were already well past level 100 in terms of experience since you could bank experience in Yggdrasil to learn spells or use as an ingredient for certain spells such as Wish Upon A Star.

In Yggdrasil, even if you killed something that was level 1 when you were 100, you still got 1 experience point for it. None of them had gained any experience points since they came to this world so he had Taylar equip Avarice and Generosity.

Avarice and Generosity were a pair of gauntlets that were a World Item. When they were worn, the experience points the wearer would normally gain would instead be stored inside the gauntlets. It seemed the obvious choice to have Taylar wear them during the battle so the experience she got slaughtering soldiers wouldn't be wasted.

Ainz would probably kill more than her but he already had gauntlets as part of his armor. Taylar did not wear gauntlets so it made more sense for her to wear them even if she would get less kills. It would all even out in the end since the Empire's troops were so much higher level than the Kingdom's.

Ainz had already used some of the experience in the gauntlets to learn the Super-Tier Spell, Origin of Species, after Taylar informed him what it did. It would be very useful for Ainz to be able to use the spell also since Taylar and Rubedo both already knew it.

Taylar should have no problem replenishing the experience he burned to learn that spell as long as she took part in the battle. He honestly wished she would sit it out but she was a lot more protected than he was. She would be fighting with not only all the Pleiades, but Rubedo would be by her side to make sure no one got a lucky shot on her.

He finally made his way to the center and everyone looked at him expectantly. He wasn't sure if they wanted a speech or something but that wasn't going to happen. Ainz was just going to remind them what to do when he started his Super-Tier Spell.

"Remember everyone. We will finally know for certain if there is a player from Yggdrasil in the Kingdom or Empire's Army when I start casting my Super-Tier Spell. Make sure you are on alert for anything coming towards me when I do. If no one tries to interrupt me, I'll use a casting timer to activate my Super-Tier Spell. It should serve as the perfect distraction for the army to get into position while everyone is watching my spell go off. Is everyone ready?"

Ainz looks at everyone and they all nod their heads. Taylar makes her way to him and gives him one last kiss before facing towards the Empire's troops along with everyone else except Aureole. She would be with Ainz against the Kingdom and would be watching for a player from their side.

General Nimble and General Kasin were both very concerned with the battle that was about to happen. Both of them had knowledge of magic since they needed it for commanding troops, but neither could comprehend the magic the Princess was using at that parley, if it could be called that.

They were both aware of teleportation magic since Fluder Paradyne could use it, but neither had ever seen someone forcibly teleport someone from thousands of miles away. The Princess had even sent all of them back to where they came from when she was done scolding them.

Neither were completely sure she was actually casting spells. The magic circle that normally appeared when a spell was cast, never actually happened. She never said anything when casting either, she was just pointing with her fingers.

They only came to that conclusion because there was no other explanation. Neither wanted to contemplate what it would mean if the Princess could do that naturally.

They couldn't even fathom what tier of magic that would have to be, and that wasn't even the King or one of his Queens doing it, it was his daughter. The thought of how powerful the King must be made them tremble and contemplate retreating back to the Empire.

"Do you think we would be executed for retreating now?"

General Kasin could tell General Nimble tried to say that in jest. He failed completely and it was obvious the man wanted to know the answer to the question.

"Fleeing a battlefield before the battle begins would certainly be treason and grounds for execution..."

General Nimble just slumped his shoulders. He knew that was the answer but hoped General Kasin would have a different thought after what they just witnessed. Even the Emperor had seen their power, he thought maybe he would understand, but General Kasin apparently wasn't done.

"However..." Kasin looked at Nimble. "I believe his majesty might forgive us this time. He did witness their power first hand..."

General Kasin trailed off as he looked up in the sky above him. All thoughts of retreat were pushed away as he saw Fluder Paradyne appear in the sky just in front of his troops. The troops seem to have noticed as well and a collective cheer went up for the Triple Magic Caster of the Empire.

They all quieted down rather quickly when they noticed a bright light from the center of the battlefield. There were white and blue magic runes circling around the Exalted King of the Saiko Kingdom Ainz Ooal Gown.

Even Fluder slowly descended to the ground in front of them, completely transfixed by the magic runes spinning rapidly around Ainz Ooal Gown. None of them could see, since his back was too them, but Fluder Paradyne was crying.

Fluder was awe struck at witnessing such powerful magic for a second time, he couldn't do anything but stare and cry. General Nimble remembered what those runes did last time he saw them.

His only solace was in the fact that Ainz Ooal Gown was facing toward the Kingdom's army and not his. He still wasn't going to take any chances when he started to give the order to retreat.

"Sound the ret..."

Nimble never got to finish as the runes shattered, and Ainz Ooal Gown's voice could be heard all over the battlefield.

---

The war tent of King Ramposa III was much more crowded than it should be at the moment. Not only was the King sent back by Princess Aureole, but so was everyone else who was out there with them. All the men he sent to parley were in the tent, and they were still on their horses.

They had no idea how the Princess had sent them all away with a simple swipe of her hand. Gazef had told them of how powerful Ainz Ooal Gown was but none knew that his daughter, and most likely his Queens, was just as powerful.

It made them all doubt that this war would end well for the Re-Estize Kingdom. They hadn't even had time to fully process that Marquis Blumrush was a spy for the Empire and Marquis Boullope was a spy for the Slaine Theocracy.

Marquis Raeven knew all about Marquis Blumrush but didn't want to out him and shift the balance of power too much to the Noble Faction. The news about Marquis Boullope was a surprise.

He knew the man was ambitious, but didn't think he'd stoop to the level of working with the Slaine Theocracy. Then again, the Princess could have made it all up so they would fight amongst themselves.

"What are we all doing standing around like idiots in this tent for! Let's attack before they can muster their forces!"

Marquis Boullope still seemed intent on attacking Ainz Ooal Gown for some reason.

"You still want to attack after what just happened?"

Gazef was finding it harder and harder to control his tongue around these ridiculous nobles. It seemed the man just wanted to get everyone killed.

"Of course you wouldn't want to attack your friend, or is it ally?"

The implication was apparent to all. It was kind of ironic coming from someone who was just ousted as a spy for the Slaine Theocracy, but it was done by an enemy so could they really trust it?

"Yes, their majesties saved my life, and I owe them for that. They also saved the lives of my men and countless villagers as well. They saved them from troops from the Slaine Theocracy. I wonder how they knew where to attack to draw me out, Marquis?"

"Do you have something to say to me commoner?!"

Marquis Boullope did not look at all pleased with Gazef's tone or question. He also didn't deny the obvious question directed at him.

"It's a bit ironic you were adamant I did not take anything besides my backup gear only for me to run into a trap by the Slaine Theocracy."

"Watch you mouth commoner or I'll cut out your tongue!"

"Now, now, gentlemen..." Marquis Raeven steps in. "Let's just calm down. This is exactly what they want us to do. Let's all ju..."

"His brain..." Marquis Boullope points to Gazef. "can't process such obvious things! If you are all to cowardly to do what needs to be done, I'll do it myself!"

Marquis Boullope didn't wait for anyone to say anything, he just kicked his horse in the rear and sprinted out the tent. He nearly ran over the two guards standing just outside the entrance as he sped past. Gazef went to follow but felt a hand on his arm.

"Let him go..." It was Marquis Raeven. "there is no stopping him, and I suspect what the Princess said is true. Let him sacrifice himself, we need to order a ret..."

Marquis Raeven stopped mid-sentence when he saw the runes light up around Ainz. The sight was mesmerizing. He had no idea how long he stared but he wasn't snapped out of his daze until he heard the stomping of hooves and a voice calling out to him.

"Marquis Raeven..." he looked up to see his personal security force of ex-adventurers there on their horses. "something terrible is about to happen. We must flee at once, sir!"

Marquis Raeven was about to agree wholeheartedly but before he could get the words out, the rune shattered, and he knew it was too late to run.

---

Ainz activated his Super-Tier Spell and scanned the Kingdom's Army with Aureole. Taylar did the same with Rubedo and the Pleiades on the Empire's side. They scanned for almost a full minute before Ainz decided there were no players on either side.

He had a pretty good idea this was already the case, but it was good to always be sure of your conclusions. Now, there was no reason for him to wait any longer.

It was time to see what this Super-Tier Spell did in this world. He was shaking with excitement wondering what he would summon.

"It seems there are no other players." Ainz looks at the hourglass in his hand. "Let the Festival of Destruction begin."

Ainz crushes the hourglass and the runes shatter. He holds his arms out towards the Kingdom's Army and everyone hears.

"I offer these tributes to the Shadow of Death. Grant me a minion worthy of their sacrifice!"

*NECROMANTIC SINGULARITY*

The Empire's soldiers see it before they hear it, and the Kingdom's soldiers hear it before they see it. Those from Nazarick already know where to look to observe the effects of the spell since there was no need to worry about another player now.

In the sky above the central column of the Kingdom's Army, a thirty-foot diameter ring of crimson lightning crackled above. The crimson lightning seemed to be covered in a black aura that made it look even more sinister.

To add to the terror-inducing sight, two pitch-black skeletal hands reached out of the portal and grabbed either side of it. The bones were so black, it was hard to say they were solid, but that was the best way to describe it.

In an instant, the hands darted away from each other and the portal expanded to encompass the entirety of the center column. A black fog began to seep out of the portal down towards the staring soldiers.

When the fog reached halfway to the ground, all the soldiers in the center column began to feel something drawing their very being up toward the portal. None could move and it felt as though they were struggling just to keep their feet on the ground.

A white light began to ooze out of every soldier's mouth and eyes. It was drawn straight up toward the portal and awaiting fog. When the light made contact with the black fog, the black fog expanded and the white light slowly faded as though it was feeding the sinister fog.

Not only did the fog expand downward toward the troops, but it also got thicker. All over the battlefield, a series of thuds could be heard as the soldiers in the center column started dropping over one by one. Anyone close enough could see the blank white eyes and shriveled up corpses left behind once the fog had consumed their life force.

Once the last of the thuds could be heard, the whole length of the center column was shrouded in a black mist so dense you could not see a single speck of light in it. The crackling of the lightning grew louder and everyone felt something pulling them towards the mist.

The portal slowly began to close as the black skeletal hands slowly retracted its grasp on the edges of the portal. As the portal closed, the mist retreated toward the center of the portal, and the center column was slowly revealed. Body after body was revealed to all, and it looked like a dug up graveyard from a battle fought long ago.

No one would believe someone if they said these men died mere moments ago from the state of their bodies. It was hard to even call them men anymore their bodies were in such bad shape.

Every soldier in the Empire and Kingdom's Armies watched the scene transfixed in both horror and awe. When the portal had finally closed, that is when the true horror started.

The fog had condensed itself down into a creature. It was nearly impossible to tell what kind of creature it was for it did not have many defining characteristics. It seemed to be wearing a cloak that covered most of its appearance.

The only discernible parts were its black skeletal hands, scythe made of pure darkness, and glowing red eyes, at least that is where its eyes would be if that was indeed a hooded cloak it was wearing.

It stood over fifty feet tall and gave off an aura so terrifying over half of each army had already lost control of their bladders inside their armor. A black shroud seemed to encase its entire body and weapon and the only reason no one fled was because they were too damn terrified to do anything.

"Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha..." Ainz laughter can be heard. "Splendid! Never did I think I would be able to summon that! HAHAHAHA!"

Taylar come up behind Ainz and takes a closer look at what he managed to summon, once she realizes what it was, she couldn't help but kiss him on the cheek and start to ask.

"Holy shit... is that?..."

"Yes! I've heard of people getting two generals, and even four lieutenants, but never this!"

"What is that Lord Ainz?"

It would be hard to say who asked that question. It came from every direction and by so many voices it was hard to tell them apart.

"The Shadow of Death did not send one of his minions to aid us! No, no, no! He came himself to give us aid!"

Taylar jumped on his back and gave him another kiss before saying.

"The shadow of a World Enemy. Who would have thought that was possible? If it has the same abilities as its normal form, it is considered level 120!"

A collective gasp can be heard from behind Ainz and he hears someone clapping off to his right. He looks over and sees Albedo clapping at his display. It wasn't long before every being from Nazarick was doing the same.

Ainz scanned around as Taylar jumped down and saw his army was almost in position. No one had noticed the Gates opening behind each army to encase them in a semi-circle so the only place to flee was towards Ainz and those from Nazarick.

Now it was time for the final act. The last terrifying thing most of these men would ever witness before he wiped them from this world.

"Aureole, are you ready?"

"Yes, father."

As soon as Aureole replied, Ainz and Aureole vanished from the middle of the battlefield and appeared right next to the Shadow of Death. Ainz stared straight into the tent containing the King of the Re-Estize Kingdom and never broke eye contact with the man.

Ainz held both of his arms out at his side and concentrated. He started to burn his undead creation attempts per day into his hand in the form of a ball of solid black negative energy. The more attempts he burned, the larger the balls got.

Once he had expended all thirty-six of them, he took in the terrified looks of those in the tent from the Kingdom. He smirked a little at the King before he slammed his palms into the ground and yelled out.

*CREATE MID TIER UNDEAD ARMY*

Both balls of negative energy impacted the ground and immediately expanded along the ground. It encompassed several corpses around Ainz and soon black puddles were starting to stand from the ground. After just a few moments, there were now fifty new Death Knights surrounding Ainz, Aureole, and the Shadow of Death.

Ainz could not help the proud look on his face. If he used his undead creation abilities like this, he could make his army even bigger much faster. This was almost twenty more Death Knights than he could normally create in a day if he did it individually.

He might have to come back tomorrow and try low tier and upper tier undead army creation. The number of Elder Liches he could create would probably be four or five times the amount of Death Knights he could create.

Even if he only got ten Soul Eaters or Winterwights out of doing it for the upper-tier it would be worth it. Once he knew the number of maximum created, he could just get that exact number from the freezer every day and have his undead creation over within mere moments instead of it taking an hour or so.

Ainz looked and saw the last of his troops had already made it through and the Gates were closed. It seemed the battlefield was still silent as he snapped his fingers. It seemed to snap some out of it, but that wasn't the purpose of it. It was to tell Taylar and Rubedo it was time for their end.

Taylar and Rubedo had both already been waiting for this sign so they went into action quickly. They both spun toward the Empire's Army and saw their army in position. Both of their right arms went up in the sky as white magic runes encircled them.

This Super-Tier Spell, however, did not need a casting timer to quicken its casting time. It was one of the few Super-Tier Spells that had an instantaneous cast time. As fast as the runes had appeared, they shattered and Taylar and Rubedo let off their spells.

*HELLBALL*

A one hundred and twenty-foot wide ball of swirling elements appeared above both of their hands. The fire, cold, acid, and force elements swirled in unison making the ball a mixture of red, blue, green, and purple. Electricity rings circled the ball and the entire ball seemed to vibrate at an unnatural speed.

They both bring their hands forward to throw the ball towards their targets. The ball of energy moves so quickly, it looks as if it is teleporting short distances. Their targets are the flanks of the Imperial infantry knowing that the ball will explode into a much larger area on impact.

When the ball finally reaches its destination, it expands to three times its size and encompasses the entirety of the cavalry on each flank as intended. It also serves to destroy as much of the Infantry on either flank as it can as well.

It seemed as though it was successful as the screams of men being burned, frozen, dissolved, shocked, vibrated, and torn apart can be heard across the battlefield. True fear finally took hold of all the troops of each army and both sides general's started to order a retreat.

"You deal with the others. The Emperor sent me to deal with Ainz Ooal Gown."

Fluder tried to give some semblance of an order but everyone ignored everything he said. It was either that or they truly didn't hear him. He could understand that even he was terrified and the Supreme God of Magic who just cast that spell was his master.

Once the soldiers turned to flee from the nightmare that was taking place on this battlefield, they truly realized how fucked they were. The moment they turned around, they saw they were surrounded by an army of Death Knights and Angels.

There had to be thousands of Death Knights and just as many Angels. The majority of the Angels had black wings, but about a quarter of them had white wings. They were either wielding a sword, a staff, or a bow and were lined up in a perfect semi-circle formation.

It made it so the only place to go was forward. Either forward through this legendary army or forward through the beings that just slaughtered over a hundred thousand people in an instant.

Almost every single man turned back toward the center of the battlefield, and quickly wished they hadn't. The Empire's troops saw eight people rushing them and none of them looked scared to be attacking an army of sixty thousand, well, less than that now.

The six women dressed as maids seemed to not only dance around the battlefield in perfect sync but also never leave one of their own open to any kind of surprise attack. The ease at which they sliced their way through the Imperial troops was unnerving to everyone.

These were not mere conscripted farmers and laborers as most of the Kingdom's Army was. These were professional and trained soldiers whose only job was being a soldier. No one should be able to walk through them severing limbs and heads as if it was a game to them.

To Generals Nimble and Kasin, a game is exactly what this seemed to be to them. They could both hear them counting every time they took out one of their soldiers as if they were keeping score.

They both knew what needed to be done when they saw one of the Queens approaching their position as she laid waste to anyone who was foolish enough to get near her. Their only chance was to take her out and it would still mean almost nothing when Ainz Ooal Gown came for them. It would still be a win and show they could be killed so they had no other choice.

It looked to Generals Nimble and Kasin that Exalted Queen Taylar had heard their thoughts for she was wading through a path of death directly toward them. The blonde beauty at her side seemed to just be moving with her and only killing those who might get the drop on her Queen.

Faster than either thought possible, the Queen and her blonde bodyguard were only a few feet from them. Nimble and Kasin both raised their weapons to attack but slumped over on their horses before they could even bring their weapons down to attack.

Taylar and Rubedo had quickly moved behind both of the Generals and knocked them out. Few were going to survive compared to how many came, but Nimble and Kasin were not going to be among the dead.

Both were capable advisers and strategists, they would survive and keep their positions for the same reason the Emperor was. There was no one capable of taking their places right now.

Ainz watched for a moment as the Imperial Army was being torn to shreds by the Pleiades, Taylar, Rubedo, and some of his army. He knew they would not be at it for much longer. They planned on sparing ten thousand of the troops and both generals so the Empire wasn't completely defenseless.

They did not want to spread their army out over three countries just yet. It wasn't nearly big enough to protect E-Rantel, the Kingdom, and the Empire at once. In time, it would be more than adequate but now was not that time. Now was the time for Ainz to continue his lesson to the Re-Estize Kingdom.

He pointed toward the right flank where he could see Marquis Boullope and his men charging toward him. The man had obviously learned nothing and Ainz would gladly hasten his demise. He did not need to give any orders verbally. His creations and summons knew his will before he could say anything.

All fifty Death Knights and the Shadow of Death advanced on the coming army. He couldn't wait to see what the Shadow of Death's attack was like. He was hoping it was just like his World Enemy counterpart. It would make his success at summoning this creature even more joyous if that was the case.

The enormous Shadow of Death moved quickly but his large footsteps didn't make a sound. Ainz watched in anticipation as the Shadow of Death closed in quickly. It swung its massive scythe in a wide arc and connected with fifty horses and humans with the one blow.

As the scythe tasted the flesh of its victims, Ainz could see them instantly turn to dust in front of his eyes. It seemed this Shadow at least drained all their life force from a touch just as its World Enemy counterpart did.

Ainz sent it a mental command to see if anything else was the same. He was not disappointed as the Shadow held out its outstretched palm and spoke in a language only a handful of residents of Nazarick understood.

*SMIVAS LUQMZLULQ* (Shadow Lightning)

A pure black bolt of lightning shot from the palm of its hand and the pure negative energy sucked the life force right out of every soldier it touched. Hundreds died in an instant and the only thing left of them were ashes being scattered by the winds. Marquis Boullope was still alive per Ainz instructions and he now turned his sights towards the traitorous coward.

Ainz spread his wings, kicked off the ground for added acceleration, and flew as fast as he could toward the Marquis. He moved so quickly, the Marquis didn't even realize he was coming until Ainz hand was wrapped around his throat. He was being lifted into the air as Ainz changed directions and took the Marquis up into the sky.

Ainz held him at arm's length when he stopped to hover in the sky. He could barely look at this piece of filth who would sell his countries secrets to a nation like the Slaine Theocracy all for a little more power. He felt no pity for what he was about to do, he just hoped the Marquis didn't die quickly.

"They say the greater the noble, the harder they fall. Let's see how you fall Marquis."

Ainz released his grip on the Marquis' throat the moment he finished and the man started plummeting toward the ground. Ainz didn't move, he simply watched as the Marquis fell toward his death. Ainz didn't turn away until he heard the splat and watched a number of fluids begin to form a puddle around the Marquis' flattened body.

Ainz army had done little to the Re-Estize Kingdom than just block their escape. They did not need to try and kill anything because most were still frozen in place out of sheer terror. Ainz had given them the mental command to open a path for them to flee back towards their capital, but none had taken the chance yet.

He figured he might as well get some fuel for his scythe so he dove straight into the middle of the army. He impacted the ground so hard, a crater formed and everyone within twenty feet of him fell prone on the ground.

Ainz took this opportunity to whirlwind attack with his scythe and claimed the existence of twenty men in a second. Their remains were blown away in the wind as Ainz dashed to the next group of condemned souls.

Ainz felt magic approaching from behind him but didn't bother turning around. He could feel Aureole still there and she would handle anything that came that way whether it was a weapon or magic.

*FIREBALL*

Fluder fires a Fireball at the back of Ainz Ooal Gown. He did not wish to attack his master, but he was told to listen to Emperor Jircniv as though he still served him so that is what he was doing. Fluder knew he had no chance of actually harming his master, but he had to make it look as though he was trying.

He was also intrigued to meet Princess Aureole. He had never stepped foot in Nazarick and had only met the three monarchs and Narberal Gamma. He witnessed all the forced teleportations and did not miss her cast that tier 10 teleportation spell he didn't even know existed.

He was truly in awe of the daughter of the God and Goddess of Magic. He hoped she would speak with him about magic one day. She seemed to possess a lot of spells he had no clue about. The one she just used on his Fireball was a prime example of that.

*MAGIC REFLECTION*

Fluder had to dodge to the side while floating in the air as his spell was directed right back at him. He had never seen that spell and judging from the magic power she used. It was only a tier 4 or 5 spell. He had to see what it could reflect and this would make it seem like he was going all out for Emperor Jircniv.

"Interesting, your majesty. I wonder what tier of magic that handy shield of yours can reflect."

*GRAND FIREBALL*

Fluder fires off a tier 4 spell instead of a tier 3, but it doesn't seem to matter. He needs to dodge to the side once more to avoid his own spell as Aureole reflects it right back at him.

*MAGIC REFLECTION*

*BALL LIGHTNING*

*MAGIC REFLECTION*

Fluder dodges again and is now convinced it is a tier 5 spell, but he is still impressed. He didn't think it was possible to reflect his tier 5 attack spell with a tier 5 defensive spell. You normally needed a spell one tier higher for it to work like that.

"Impressive your majesty. I should have known you would have magic that could reflect the same tier, but... since I know that is tier 5. What can you do against a tier 6 attack spell?"

*DISINTEGRATION*

Fluder watches in anticipation as the pale green beam shoots towards Aureole. He knows she can't use that same spell and can't wait to see what spell she does use. The smirk Aureole sends him as she holds up her hand unnerves him a bit.

Aureole was contemplating truly fucking with Fluder Paradyne. It was true you couldn't reflect a tier 6 spell with a tier 5, but that didn't mean she couldn't heighten that tier 5 spell to a tier 6.

She decided to show Fluder something new since he was following orders so well. She knew the Emperor was still watching, and he had to appear on their side still. She could sense Fluder's scrying magic still in the area so it meant he cast it on an object.

She could also sense the Thousand Mile Astrologer who they were letting watch this time. They were letting her see the entire battlefield except for Albedo. The Thousand Mile Astrologer would be dealt with soon enough. There was no need to think about her yet.

*SPELL ABSORPTION*

The pale green beam was absorbed right into her palm and her smirk turned into a wide grin as she took in Fluder's flabbergasted expression. The old man could hardly believe his eyes.

"W-What did you d-do?"

"I absorbed your spell. I can either consume the MP you used and add it to my own or..."

Aureole points her finger right at Fluder, a pale green beam shoots out of her fingertip and heads straight for Fluder. The old man is in such a daze, he barely avoids the beam. Most of his left sleeve and the part of his robe on that side that covers his ribs is disintegrated.

"Not a bad reaction time, old man. It is too bad you can't cast magic higher than tier 6. Do you have anything else to try or would you prefer to die now?"

Of course, Aureole had no intention of actually killing Fluder. He was her father's lackey after all but she had to keep the show going if the Emperor could hear as well as see. Fluder seemed to think the Princess was not jesting from the look on his wrinkled face.

"I fear I must disappoint you, your majesty."

"Oh? And how are you going to do that?"

"My Emperor will wish I survive so I must make my exit. Sorry to disappoint you, your majesty."

"I do hope you reach your intended destination, Triple Magic Caster, Fluder Paradyne."

Fluder was about to leave when Aureole said that and took another moment to look at the Princess of Nazarick. The smirk on her lips made him realize there was something more to her words than just letting him leave. He didn't have time to figure it out though and he needed to leave.

*TELEPORTATION*

Just as Fluder thought, the world around him changed, but not in the way he imagined. His teleportation was supposed to put him back in the palace at Emperor Jircniv's side to inform him of his failed attempt to neutralize Ainz Ooal Gown.

Instead, it seemed as though the world had only shifted a bit. Fluder could still hear the screams of men as they were being torn through like paper, and his eyes landed on the being directly in front of him.

He was floating just a few feet from Princess Aureole. The amusement in her eye was plain for Fluder to see, and he had no idea how in the world he ended up only teleporting a few hundred feet instead of reappearing at the Emperor's side.

"Did you think it would be that easy, Fluder? I specialize in teleportation magic. I know teleportation spells that only exist because I can cast them. Did you truly think you could just disappear from my presence with a tier 5 spell after your tier 6 attack spell was treated as nothing to me?"

Aureole had a dangerous glint in her eye, but it also held something else. Was it pity? No, perhaps it was guilt? No, it wasn't that either. Fluder finally figured out it was regret, but by then it was too late for him to do anything as Aureole said.

*PARALYSIS*

Fluder's entire body went stiff as a board, and he could move nothing except his eyes. He could not see much other than Aureole, but he didn't like the look in her eyes. He knew he was about to experience something that would awe him and hurt like hell.

"It seems you are no different than any other human, Fluder Paradyne, so you must be taught a lesson. You will take our last terms back to your Emperor, and this will be his final chance at surrender or we will march on the Baharuth Empire and not stop until it is completely ours."

Fluder could do nothing but stare at the Princess of Nazarick with wide eyes.

"He will accept our terms or he will perish with the rest of those who stand against us. The Baharuth Empire will become our vassals. Jircniv may keep his palace and wealth, at least what we don't take in compensation for his foolishness, but he will no longer be Emperor Jircniv. He will accept the title of Governor if he wishes to keep his head attached to his body."

Aureole lays out the basic terms for Fluder to relay to Emperor Jircniv. Those are the ones that really matter, the others can be worked out when he accepts. No need to waste too much breath if they were just going to have to march through the Empire and kill the Emperor anyway.

"I do hope you can remember that Fluder. It may be hard though once you have received your lesson."

"W-W-What l-l-lesson?"

Fluder has no idea how he managed to get out those words. It felt like he had just run up a mountain with the amount of energy he expended to ask that question. He was pretty sure his fear had somehow overridden the spell for a brief moment.

"The only lesson humans seem to understand. Pain."

*WRACK*

Every nerve in Fluder's body shot off simultaneously as he experienced a pain unlike any he thought possible. It felt as though someone had set his skin on fire and someone was methodically punching him all over his body. The tears came quickly and flowed freely as he felt like he was being set on fire from the inside.

"Don't worry, Fluder. This tier 9 spell will not kill you. Although you might wish for death soon, this spell does nonlethal damage over time until you pass out from the pain. Do try to remember what you need to tell your Emperor. Now, you may go."

*FORCED TELEPORTATION*

Aureole watched as Fluder disappeared. She knew he would appear right next to the Emperor so he too could learn a lesson. Aureole would have preferred to cast that spell on the Emperor. Fluder was her father's loyal subject, but appearances needed to be kept up so she couldn't feel regret for too long at what she just did to Fluder.

She glanced over her shoulder and saw her father standing there talking with two citizens of the Kingdom she knew well from her time gathering Intel for them. Apparently, Mother Albedo had seen her taking on Fluder and sent Aura and Mare to guard her father as the two Dark Elves were standing just behind Ainz. She made her way toward them, intrigued at what their conversation was about.

Ainz felt Aureole stay behind as the magic he sensed neared and knew she would be dealing with Fluder. He took the opportunity to truly unleash himself on the Re-Estize Army and began wading through men as if they were a nuisance.

Each swing of his scythe saw five or more men turned to ash and feed his weapon. Even though they were low-level, he was killing so many men that his scythe was filling up on souls rather quickly.

Ainz had only got to kill a few hundred men when he sensed Aura and Mare take up his flanks. Albedo no doubt saw Aureole stay behind and sent them to watch his back.

He certainly didn't need them to against such enemies, but there was no persuading his Queens when it came to his safety. They truly believed him to be completely reckless.

"Don't kill anything unless you absolutely have to." Ainz says back towards the two Dark Elves. "My weapon needs fuel so save them for me."

"Yes, Lord Ainz!"

Both the Dark Elves acknowledged his orders and simply followed him around the battlefield. Ainz was glad they listened and his scythe tasted the souls of thousands before he came across two people he knew well.

Well, he knew one well from his interactions with him over the last couple of months. The other one, he knew from reports he read. This was the infamous puppy of Princess Renner. He remembers briefly seeing him when they had the incident in the Kingdom.

He was still puzzled as to why the Princess favored this boy so much. If there was one word to describe Climb, it was average. Average looks, average strength, average skill, everything about him was just... average.

Ainz may not have any interest in the Princess but she was certainly good looking. She couldn't match the beauty of those from Nazarick, but in his estimation, only Holy Queen Calca and Lakyus would be in her league from this world.

The Queen of the Draconic Kingdom would probably be in there too if she didn't always appear as a little girl to appease some perverted, lolicon adventurer who seemed to be her best defense. She was rather attractive in her older form.

Trying to figure out what the Princess saw in this puppy would be like putting together a thousand-piece puzzle while missing a hundred pieces. There was no reason to dwell on it though, it was time to talk to the Warrior Captain Gazef Stronoff.

"It is good to see you again Warrior Captain. Unfortunately, it is under these circumstances, but they couldn't be helped. Your King is too weak and unwise to simply submit to my generous request."

"Master Gown, I could sa-"

"That is EXALTED KING Ainz Ooal Gown, you filthy human!"

It seemed Aura took exception to the Warrior Captain calling his lord, master.

"It is alright Aura. We can forgive the Warrior Captain his slip up. We are in the middle of a battle so formality might be forgotten for a brief time."

"I apologize, your majesty."

"So Warrior Captain, why have you sought me out on this battlefield and not fled with your King to safety?"

"My King is not fleeing, I am her-"

"We have a fairly good relationship Warrior Captain. Let's not taint it by lying. Do you think that the path of escape opened in our army because they lost discipline? Our Army answers to my will, I opened that path for your King to flee so he may survive to accept my new terms."

Ainz was going to continue and tell Gazef his terms, but the Warrior Captain jumped in.

"I challenge you to a duel, Exalted King Ainz Ooal Gown."

Ainz looks at the Warrior Captain, then to his Dark Elf subordinates, then to Aureole, and finally back at Gazef. The man seemed genuine in his challenge. Ainz could only do one thing. Laugh, hard and loud.

"HAHAHAHAHA... Surely you jest Warrior Captain?"

"It is no jest, your majesty. I see the enemy King in front of me. I know I owe you and your Queens for saving my life, but I must do my duty to my King and country."

"Is it your duty to die for a weak and pathetic King?"

"It is my duty to fight the enemies of my King and country. I do not plan to die, your majesty."

"Lord Ainz, please allow me to dispose of this annoying insect."

It seemed Aura was eager to duel the Warrior Captain, but Ainz really had no interest in anyone dueling him. He did like the Warrior Captain. He was one of the few good men in the Kingdom and it would be a shame for him to die.

Ainz didn't want to fight him though for a much more basic reason. It was no fun to duel if you couldn't lose. There would be no point, and Gazef had no weapon that could hurt Ainz.

"I admire your courage Warrior Captain, but dueling me would be pointless. You may not plan on losing, but it isn't even possible for you to win. How would that be any fun or fair?"

"I wield the treasures of the Re-Estize Kingdom." Gazef makes a point to draw Razor Edge and point it at Ainz. "Defeat of any foe is possible with their power behind me."

This time it wasn't Ainz who laughed, it was everyone present from Nazarick. Aura, Mare, Aureole, and Ainz all chuckled at the Warrior Captains' statement. Treasures of the Re-Estize Kingdom to him, but to those from Nazarick...

"What you consider a national treasure, we see as trash items. It is true that your sword may possibly be able to harm one of my subordinates, but you stand no chance against my armor. I spent years crafting and enchanting this armor and your "national treasure" could never hope to penetrate it. You'll actually just end up dying while I stand here and watch you kill yourself if you attack me."

The amusement in his tone was gone by the end and it was intentional. He wanted to tell the Warrior Captain exactly what would happen if he decided not to stand down and run back to his King.

"Razor Edge is capable of cutting through anything. I think I will take my chances unless you are afraid to dual me, your majesty."

That was the wrong thing to say, and not just because Ainz was no longer joking from the look on his face. Both Dark Elves and the girl Gazef knew to be Princess Aureole let off so much killing intent toward him that Climb fell to his knees and Gazef was close to being forced into the same position. When Ainz voice cut through the air, the oppressive force ceased in an instant.

"Aureole, Aura, Mare, that is enough." Ainz glances at the three until their killing intent disappears and he turns back to Gazef. " I do like you Warrior Captain, and you seem to think that because I do, I won't kill you. I gave you an out because I respect you, but you have tried my patience. You want a duel? I accept."

Everyone takes a step back from the two combatants as they both get into position. Ainz decided to stay in place and let the Warrior Captain set the distance. He wasn't surprised when the man only went about ten feet away.

At least he was somewhat smart, you certainly shouldn't give a magic caster too much space in a duel. Not that Ainz was your typical magic caster. How far away the Warrior Captain was would not change the outcome of this duel.

"Are you ready Warrior Captain?"

"I am, your majesty, but it seems you are not."

Gazef points out that he isn't in a combat stance. He is just standing there, leaning on his scythe looking bored. Not the position you should be in when about to duel someone.

"I am. You..." he points toward Climb. "ring a bell or something. That will signal the start of the duel."

Climb is shaking in pure terror as he reaches into his pouch and pulls out the three bells Gagaran gave to him. He was surprised he didn't accidentally chime one of the bells early he was shaking so badly.

Climb looked at Gazef and he nodded he was ready. Climb looked at Ainz and just got a bored expression directed back to him. He took that to mean they were ready and he shook his arm.

Ding. Ding. Ding.

Gazef drops low when he hears the bells chime over the battlefield and begins to activate some of his martial arts. Ainz still looks on bored with the display.

*FOCUS BATTLE AURA* *FULL THROTTLE*

Gazef springs forward faster than Climb can see, everyone else can see him moving perfectly fine. Ainz still hasn't changed his posture when Gazef brings his weapons down on him.

Razor Edge is about to make contact with Ainz's armor when one of the twisted spikes shoots toward his sword and deflects it away. Two other spikes pierce right through Gazef's armor as if it was paper.

The wounds are deep and Gazef begins bleeding immediately. He also feels his body getting weaker by the second. He could tell when he jumped back to get some space, it had taken a lot of energy just to jump backward.

Ainz was still staring at him, a very bored expression on his face. Gazef began to realize that he was not jesting when he said this would be no fun for him, but Gazef had made his bed already. He could do nothing but press on.

*SENSE WEAKNESS* *POSSIBILITY SENSE*

After Gazef used his martial arts, his eyes went wide. According to his martial arts, Ainz Ooal Gown had no weaknesses, and he had a zero percent chance of defeating him. He did the only thing he could.

*BODY STRENGTHENING* *FLOW ACCELERATION* *PACE OF WIND*

Gazef sprung forward again even faster and brought his weapon down to the other side of Ainz. The same thing happened again. One of his spikes deflected Gazef's attack and this time, three spikes pierced his armor.

Gazef felt very weak after that round as he jumped back. He was struggling to even stand after wasting the energy to jump back. He was starting to bleed pretty badly as well from the five wounds he received.

He looked himself over and realized that his wounds were starting to fester already. They were only seconds old and it looks like they were spreading all over his body already. He watched in awe as he saw his wounds stop festering, and he heard an angelic voice ring over the battlefield much closer than he was expecting.

*GREATER RESTORATION*

Gazef looks up to see Exalted Queen Taylar Ooal Gown standing off to the side near her daughter and the Dark Elves. He knew he saw her fighting the Empire's troops and when he looks past her, he realizes why she is here.

The Imperial Army, or what is left of it, is retreating as fast as they possibly can. He sees the same gap Ainz Ooal Gown left for his King in his army fighting the Empire. Gazef is glad he at least knew his King would survive even if he made the wrong decision in dueling Ainz Ooal Gown.

"You must see now it is pointless Warrior Captain. I will not heal your plague again if you are foolish enough to attack my husband. Run back to your King and take our terms if you wish to live."

Taylar's voice was as clear to Gazef as if she was standing next to him, but knowing that his King was safe was good enough for him to go out as the Warrior Captain he was. He did not answer the Queen, he simply got back in his stance, and activated every martial art his body could handle.

*MENTAL ENHANCEMENT* *BODY STRENGTHENING* *FOCUS BATTLE AURA* *FULL THROTTLE*

Gazef dashes towards Ainz Ooal Gown once more, but his martial arts were not finished yet. When he closed half the distance, he activated his most powerful martial arts attack.

*SIX FOLD SLASH-*

*[SILENT] TIME STOP*

Ainz waves his hand and time stands still. He casually starts strolling towards the Warrior Captain. This was truly the most boring duel he had ever taken part in. He wasn't even paying attention to it. The conversation he was having with Aureole over message was much more interesting than anything the Warrior Captain could do to him.

Once he had relayed his message and Aureole had carried out her instructions though, he tried paying attention to the duel but got too bored. He appreciated the Warrior Captain's courage, but he should have listened to Taylar.

*TOUCH OF DEATH*

Ainz activates his special ability as he closes in on the Warrior Captain. Luckily, he could still touch Gazef with this activated and not use it until the Time Stop ended. He wrapped his hand around the Warrior Captain's throat and just a moment later, the Time Stop ended.

Everyone witnessed Ainz appeared right in front of Gazef holding him off the ground by his throat. Climb was speechless and wondered how this terrifying being had moved so quickly. Taylar, Aura, Mare, and Aureole all saw what Ainz did. None of them could be affected by Time Stop, even the Pleiades had countermeasures for such an attack.

It just showed once again how under-powered this world's "national treasures" were. He wouldn't equip a single piece of gear Gazef was wearing on any of the Pleiades. Even the Swords of Darkness and Leinas' new gear was just as powerful as the Warrior Captains, and they were given trash items for their gear.

*TOUCH OF DEATH*

Ainz activates his ability and Gazef goes limp in his hand. He was holding up this grown man in full armor off the ground as if he was a child. This more than anything showed the difference in the power between Nazarick and the countries of this world.

As Gazef stared into the eyes of Ainz Ooal Gown, he saw two emotions behind his eyes. Bordem and redemption. The first was obvious from the beginning, but the latter seemed to be directed at Gazef somehow. Ainz realized he truly did have a soft spot for this human. He would have wiped him from existence by now if he didn't.

"I told you I did not wish to kill you, and against my better judgment even after what you did. I'm going to give you another chance to live. I'm sure your King had once deserved your blind loyalty, but that time has past Gazef Stronoff. You may still serve your Kingdom proudly though if you make the right choices."

Ainz looked over at Taylar and saw her nod his head at his silent question so he continued.

"Tell your King that in one week, the gates of E-Rantel will be opened for us for its surrender. After we have established ourselves in E-Rantel, we will come to the capital of the Re-Estize Kingdom, accept your vassalization, and choose a new reagent. He will also compensate us for the time we had to waste on this pointless war. If he agrees to these terms, we will stand down and your country shall prosper. If he still will not submit... I will unleash my subordinates on your Kingdom until nothing stands in opposition to us. Now, you may go."

Ainz moves his arm to his side with Gazef still held by the throat. He was manhandling the Warrior Captain as if he weighed nothing. He quickly threw his arm forward arcing upward and released the Warrior Captain from his grip.

Gazef could do nothing but fly through the air, limp, as Ainz Ooal Gown tossed him away from him like a child. The Warrior Captain sailed through the air much farther than he ever thought a person could be thrown. He landed with a thud as his paralyzed body finally started to have its feeling return.

When he finally was able to stand, he looked around and saw Climb running toward him. He didn't realize how far he was thrown but judging from where he saw Ainz Ooal Gown standing, it must be about a half-mile.

When he truly got his barrings, he noticed hundreds of Death Knights, Fallen Angels, and Angels surrounding him but not attacking. He was standing right in the clear path Ainz had made for retreat. He only lingered long enough to glance at Ainz one more time and wait for Climb to catch up to him before he turned from the battlefield and made his way to where his King had retreated.

Ainz watched the Warrior Captain leaving the battlefield and a strange emotion took over. Worry. It may have seemed weak for him to let the Warrior Captain go after what he said. Hopefully, no one thought he made the wrong decision.

"What's wrong, my love?"

Taylar can see the emotions behind Ainz eye's as she makes her way to him. Both armies had already been routed and were retreating so there was no need to be very cautious. Taylar even saw Albedo making her way over toward them as well.

"Should I have killed him after what he said?"

Taylar took a minute to think about that. She noticed all those from Nazarick nodding their heads that they agreed he should have killed the man. She didn't share that sentiment.

"You did the right thing, Ainz. Gazef was blindly loyal to his King for what he did for Gazef. It is much like how those of Nazarick feel about us, but..." Taylar gets his attention on her. "If he tries anything again. You end him without hesitation. This is his second chance, he doesn't get a third."

Ainz just nods his head in agreement at Taylar's words.

"Aureole, how did our other operation go?"

"It was splendid father! You should have seen the look on her face when I whispered her real name before forcing all those memories into her mind." Aureole looks positively ecstatic. "She should be having nightmares of this day for the next couple decades at least!"

"Good job, Aureole. Hopefully, this will teach Lana Partouche and the Slaine Theocracy to stop spying on us. If not, well, I'll leave the next punishment up to you."

Ainz smiles at Aureole who beams back at him for the next opportunity. Aureole and Ainz both knew they would try again. They didn't tell the poor Thousand Mile Astrologer who they were when Aureole was messing with her. They just let her assume since she was watching the battlefield.

He turns to see Albedo and the rest of Nazarick making it to their group. Now that this was done with, it was time to return to Nazarick and prepare for the take over of E-Rantel. They also needed to make a pit stop in Carne to take care of some things. The next week would be busy.
