After the Adventure

Once Filius appraised the orb he was impressed, the power of the orb was to have control of the dead at a stronger level. Also, the orb was sentient, it even had the ability to think.

"It seems that a new host wields me", the Orb said.

Filius looked at Nabe, "Did you hear the voice from the orb?"

Nabe shook her head, "No, though it might be coming from that item."

Filius agreed, he looked at the orb, "so what is it that you do?"

The orb scoffed, "Foolish mortal, I am the orb of death, I am the one who controls all the undead. I am the ruler over the undead, if you want my power... I could make a deal."

Filius mentally scoffed, "What is this deal?"

"You must sacrifice living human beings, the more innocent the better. Once these people are killed, I will gain more power and with this, I'll let you use a fraction of it to make an army for yourself. The catch is that you must create a body for me."

Filius was surprised, this orb wanted to become a living being with his own control, he decided to play with the orb a bit, "Seems like its a bad deal, I do what you want and all you do is give me a fraction of your power? Why not give me all your power?"

"Ignorant mortal! You should be delighted to even be able to use 20% of my power. Weak Mortal!", the orb said.

"What if I just decided to smash you right now?", Filius said with a sly grin.

"Mortal! I know you would do that, you're just like all mortals, crave power. I know you want this power too, once you have a taste you will want more and then you will never be able to have enough", the orb stated.

"Don't praise yourself so highly", Filius then started tightening his grip on the orb and slowly started increasing his strength, "you have nothing I want."

The orb slowly started cracking, "What are you doing!? Mortal!? Are you mad!? NO!? You'll lose this one and only opportunity!"

"Why do you think I don't care about it?", Filius asked the orb was confused by what he asked. "Because I am the son of death", suddenly a massive aura of mana appeared, Filius had used magic to disguise his mana and now the orb could feel it.

[N...no way, thus is impossible], Filius started tightening once more, [His..magic is not human! ] the orb knew that if he didn't say anything he would be destroyed, would he beg or would he resist, suddenly there was another crack, "OKAY!! I CONCEDE!!!"

Filius stopped his actions, the orb was still emotional, "I concede...mortal..."

Filius chuckled, "I also have more news", he moved his hand to his lips and he whispered, "I am no mortal. I'm undead."

After he said that he tossed the orb to Nabe, "Watch this thing, make sure it doesn't break. I'll get the other items."

Next was the staff, "Appraisal", it seemed that the staff just increased the attack and speed of any magic used, but it was very weak. Though he wasn't going to complain, any weapon was a weapon, he could save it so when a mortal that served him wanted power he could give him this.

He then shrugged and gave it to Nabe as well, he then sat down and waited. Suddenly he heard something, a voice, "Naberal Gamma! Show them the power of Nazarick!"

Filius smiled, he then looked at Nabe, "Seems like father thinks you are still fighting."

"Should we assist him, young master", she asked.

"No, my father would probably think that we would obstruct his fight", Filius said, "he must also be testing some things as well, you know since we are in a new world."

Nabe nodded, "Okay Young Master."

"Come, sit", he said as he extended his hand to her.

She then grew a blush and took his hand, she then sat down beside him. Filius smiled and then he did something that shocked Nabe. He grabbed her hips and sat her on top of his knees, "Young Master!?", she shrieked.

"Calm down, remember you are my woman so I am allowed to do things like this", Filius said as he placed his chin above her shoulder. He moved in closer and smelled her, even if they were battling and she was dirty due to this adventure she still smelled sweet like tulips.

Nabe was so embarrassed, she knew she hadn't showered but when she saw Filius, he saw that he didn't care about it.

Filius hugged her waist and pulled her closer, Nabe was still red, but she placed one hand on his arms and the other was touching his face, she was softly brushing her hand on his cheek. "Young...Master...", she whispered.

Filius removed his mask and then kissed her, the kiss was a passionate one, Nabe was also motivated, she softly pulled Filius's head for the kiss. She didn't know why but she liked this, no she loved this, she loved it when her master would show her affection, how he would tell her that she belonged to him, she loved this feeling, she wanted more, she wanted more of this kiss.

"Filthy mortals, get a room you dogs in heat!", Yelled the orb.

Filius stopped the kiss and glared at the orb, "Shut it you marble." The orb became quiet but he was still grumbling.

Filius looked at Nabe and leaned in her neck, "the mood was ruined, sorry."

"Please don't worry about it, darling", Nabe said.

Suddenly they heard a cough, Nabe quickly jumped away from Filius. Filius and Nabe looked at the new person that arrived, it was Ainz, "Did I disrupt something?"

"No father, we were just bonding a bit", Filius said as he stood up.

"I can see", Ainz said, mentally he was praising Filius for getting a beauty like Nabe, he felt proud. He then remembered there was still the monumental that they needed to check, "Come we need to find Nphirea."

"Yes, Lord!", Filius and Nabe said.

Suddenly there was a scream, "Master! Master!"

Filius and Ainz turned and saw it was Hamusuke, the rodent quickly stopped running and halted, "That's not master, it's a monster!"

Nabe became irritated so she jumped in the air and landed on the rodent hard, "Annoying Gerbal."

"Come let's go", Ainz said as he walked away into the monumental.

As they entered the structure, they saw that it seemed more like a cave on the inside, it was probably created by Khajit and his group. As they walked deeper into the cave they saw a resplendent green light. When they saw the origin of the light they found shocking a bit, it was Nphirea. Though there was something wrong with him, he was in a transparent robe and was standing in the center of a Pentagram, his eyes couldn't be seen but they were dripping blood as if he was cursed.

Ainz walked up to the boy and inspected him, he noticed the magic coming from the item on his head, he then extended his hand at it, "All Appraisal Magic Item." He was surprised a bit, "The Crown of Wisdom. Interesting. Seem's like an item that can't be replicated in Yggdrasil. Ideally, I'd like to take it back to Nazarick, but it will ruin his mind."

"Father may I speak?", Ainz turned to Filius and nodded, "Why don't we remove it, even if his mind is ruined we could just kill him."

Ainz was shocked by what Filius was saying, "Explain."

"Well, once the body is dead we could use (True Ressurection) which will heal everything then if that fails we could also use (Astral Holy Recovery) to heal him and prevent him from erasing from existence", Filius said.

Ainz was even more shocked, this idea was cruel but that meant that they could take the item and save the boy, "I like that idea, let's do it."

Filius nodded, he walked up to Nphirea, he then grabbed the crown and ripped it off of him. Suddenly the boy screamed, he screamed as if he had seen the most horrific creature in all of existence, as if he was broken from just seeing it. Filius then grabbed Nphirea's neck and head, he then moved his mouth to Nphirea's ear and whispered, "Death is a part of life...therefore you should never fear death...it will always be there for you...but it isn't your time yet."

SNAP!!!!

Nphirea's body stopped moving, his yelling had also stopped. Filius laid him down and placed both hands on his chest, he then stood up and looked at his father, "it's ready."

"Okay", Ainz said. [HOLY F..K! What did I just see!?], mentally Ainz was screaming in shock, his son had just killed a boy in a gruesome way in front of him as if was so natural.

Ainz then moved forward and extended his hand forward, he started casting the strongest holy magic, "Astral Holy Recovery."

Suddenly Nphirea's body started shining, slowly it started lifting up in the air. Then a bright silhouette emerged from out of nowhere, it seemed like some sort of light angel, then the figure placed its hand on Nphirea's head. Once more the light started brightening even more, the whole area was engulfed in this bright light. After 5 minutes the lights died down and what was left was Niphirea's body that was still suspended in the air. The light figure that was there had also disappeared, the boy's body slowly started to fall.

Once the body touched the ground, Filiuswalked up to it and searched for a pulse, luckily he found one, "He's okay, seems like the resurrection was successful."

Ainz nodded, "Carry him, we're going back."

Filius nodded and tossed Nphirea on top of his shoulder, Nabe quickly walked to him, "Young Master, let me do it."

Filius shook his head, "It's ok, let me do this. Petty things like this won't ruin my true image, right?"

As they exited the building they were met with a Gerbal with a sack on his back, it seemed that he had collected all the items and proof that they completed the mission. When the hamster noticed the three figures he quickly stood straight, "Master. Please, forgive me", he seemed sorry for mistaking Ainz. Then he looked at them with determined eyes, "Serve you with even greater conviction, I shall!"

"That's great, Hamsuke. Anyway let's complete the job", Ainz said as he walked away.

Filius Nabe and Ainz walked towards the morning sun, as Hamusuke chased behind, "Master! Please don't take my pledge so lightly! Hurt my delicate feelings, it does!"

After they finally reached E-Rantel they made sure to tell Lizzy and the guild of what happened, of course, they fabricated a fake story to cover up the truth. Then they finally ranked up, it was a massive rank up, from Copperplate to Mythril rank. It was a combination of subjugating the Golin and Orc group, then taming the Wise King of the Forest, and then stopping the Cementary Incident along with killing a member of the Slane Theocracy's Black Scripture (Clementine) and a member of of the twelve core members of Zurrernorn (Khajiit), and last they finished their herb gathering quest.

After reporting everything, they finally returned to the INN to relax.

Meanwhile, they didn't know that a certain vampire had, "I thought they'd promote us to orichalcum."

"Their insolence knows no bounds", Nabe stated.

"It's fine, Nabe", Ainz said.

"Actually, it's way better than expected", Filius said. "If these simple acts could cause a massive jump like that, then it must mean that are rarely any real hard quests", he stated.

"True", Ainz said. "As we speak, the surviving soldiers are spreading the tale of my strength and valor to everyone in E-Rantel. The boost that will give to my status makes getting Mythril rank a moot point."

"Very well", Nabe said seriously, Filius chuckled from that expression, Ainz looked away, he was actually holding his laugh.

Nabe was curious about why Filius chuckled, she then asked a question that was in her mind, "What should we do about the boy and his grandmother?"

Ainz looked at her, "Since Lizzy said that she would give me everything. I'll have her and Nphirea move to Carne Village. Her skill in potion-making will serve me- or rather Nazarick quite well".

He then remembered something, "Oh, right. I needed to contact Albedo."

When he messaged her, she immediately answered, "Lord Ainz. I'm afraid I must report that Shaltear Bloodfallen has betrayed us."

Ainz was left dumbstruck, "Huh?" He quickly stood up, "Betrayed us? Shalltear?"

Filius quickly reacted from what he heard, if he remembered correctly, she along with Sebas and Solution were supposed to be together for a while and then split after. "If that's true then what about the second tracking team, did they come back safely", asked Filius.

"What about the team trailing them, did they report what happened?", Ainz asked, in his mind, he was glad that he listened to Filius's suggestions about having backup groups to see what happened.

"Yes, they are all back in Nazarick ready to speak to you", Albedo said, Ainz knew that this was something big so he had to speak to them in person.

"Ok, I'll be there shortly, order them to wait for me in the throne room", Ainz ordered.

"Yes, Lord Ainz, it shall be done", Albedo said before she cut the message spell.

"It seems we have something big in our hands, we should go", Filius asked.

Ainz nodded, he then returned to his normal form and used his magic, "Gate!" A massive portal opened in front of them where the door would be, they all walked in and entered the grand throne room, "You two should get ready, we'll speak with the team shortly."

Filius and Nabe both bowed, "Yes, Lord!"

After Filius and Nabe left for their quarters they quickly got ready in their normal outfits. Filius had returned to his cyborg state, the term cyborg wouldn't be very accurate. Since instead of being alive he was undead, but he wasn't an android either since he could have rational thoughts and act human as well as reproduce, he was mostly a combination of robotic, undead, and the living. He was an impossible combination, he was truly the son of a Supreme Being, for he knew that something like this whether in Yggdrasil or the New World was impossible.

He was currently wearing his normal body, that's right, body, his room was recently constructed to his wishes, since he was undead with cybernetic parts he wanted to replace them when he wanted. Since he and his father would be adventuring together he wanted a body that was designed for combat, as for the one he was made with would be his royal body.

He was ready as he exited the room he headed for the throne room on his way he met someone unexpected, it was a small little white and black penguin around him were a few men with masks that looked similar to the penguins head.

Filius noticed that the penguin was giving the men orders for proficient cleaning, [his name was Eclair Ecleir Eicler, right?]

When the penguin turned he noticed the person in front of him and he quickly bowed in respect, "Young Lord! It's great to see you back."

"Thank you, and yes it's good to be back home Eclair", Filius said. Eclair looked up at his young master in astonishment he was shocked that the Supreme Lord's son knew his name, he was delighted from it, inside his heart he was devoting himself even more to Nazarick and its rulers.

"It seems you are working hard", Filius asked.

"Yes, I have to work extra hard since Master Sebas isn't here. I have to make sure that Nazarick is in its majestic form", He then pulled out a comb and brushed his hair, "Once everything is clean it would be safe to eat on the ground and the toilet, hypothetically."

"I hope you do a great job maintaining Nazarick as pristine as ever", Filius said.

"Yes, I have to do this for practice for the day Nazarick will be under my care while You and The Supreme Lord rule the entire world", Eclair said.

"Hm, interesting, not to let you down, but I believe you would be better suited in the human cities", Eclair was stunned by this. "Now don't misinterpret what I say, I believe someone with your talents would be better able to prove himself in the new world", Filius suggested, this made Eclair pay even more attention, "If you were able to turn an entire run-down city to something new. Changing an old and dirty city into a pristine modern and stylish one, you would be able to get a massive promotion, not only that you'd be able to run that city."

"Surely you jest young lord", Eclair said, he didn't dislike the idea, but he felt like he wouldn't like the human city too much, though the promotion made it seem bearable, also that he would love to show the true brilliance of Nazarick.

"I trust in your abilities, if you want I can talk to my father about considering that idea", Filius asked.

Eclair was shocked not only was he getting recommended to an opportunity for a promotion, but he was also important enough to be noticed by the young master. "Yes I would lo..no I mean Yes, young lord I'd like that", Eclair said as he readjusted himself.

Filius smiled and nodded as he continued walking, Eclair stood there and watched him leave, once Filius was gone he turned to his workers, "Come on! You heard our young Lord, he wants everything in pristine condition!"

Filius had finally entered the throne room, there he saw his father and Albedo beside him, also in the hall was Nabe who was standing on the bottom of the stairs.

"Hello, sorry if I'm late Father", Filius apologized.

"It's okay, you weren't late at all", Ainz told him.

After Filius positioned himself beside his father then four people entered the hall. Two of them were Vampire Brides while the other was Invisible Assassin Bug, and the last person was the maid that brought them in.

All of the people who entered quickly kneed and bowed to their leaders and superiors, Ainz looked at them and there was a sudden red glow in his eyes. "State your report", ordered Ainz.
