"Let's do this, Shalltear!", Ainz stated as he clenched his hand in front of her, "It doesn't matter how many special skills you have. My magic will always be stronger. I show you!" Ainz then clapped his hands and cast a spell in them, "Ultra-speed Whispering Chant." Suddenly Ainz's body started being surrounded by a white aura, he then gazed up back at Shalltear, "Let me show you true power."
Currently with Filius and the others.....
Filius started chuckling and then he started laughing, "Hahahaha!"
Naberal was wondering why her Young Master was laughing, "Lord, what is wrong?"
"Nothing, my love", Filius then turned to the Mirror again, "It's just that, Shalltear is putting a futile resistance."
"Young Master?", Demiurge spoke.
"Yes Demiurge, ask your question", Filius ordered.
"You say that Lord Ainz has already won, may I know why?", Demiurge asked.
Filius smiled, "We've been here for two weeks, and in that time I investigated everything I could. From war tactics to the knowledge of engineering, I researched the names and powers of every servant of Nazarick as well as every item we have. But there was something that always bothered me, that is the law of magic in this world."
Everyone paid close attention to Filius's words, "In Yggdrasil, we had limits or some form of restriction when it came to fighting or doing other things. But now, those restrictions are gone, we can do almost anything, then why haven't we tried new things. A few days ago I learned some knowledge of the New World and found out that there aren't limitations to magic, there are only unknown forms. If a certain spell isn't known it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist, it only means that nobody has found a way to cast it."
Everyone was shocked by this, if what their master was saying was true, that meant that they could learn new skills and spells that weren't in Yggdrasil or usable to their race.
"I tried my theory out, and it worked, I created new spells and they were even more powerful than before, the only issue would be the mana cost, but that could be fixed later on. I managed to increase the number of spells I could use at one time, I even found a way to reduce the casting time of any spell or skill to almost zero. That is the spell my father just used", Filius said.
"Incredible", Naberal said, she was shocked, even her face, the one that was always stone still, was actually showing an expression of shock and astoundment.
"Young Lord", Demiurge ten kneeled on the floor, no he then prostrated himself. Albedo and Cocytus then followed suit. "I have no words, you are astounding, incredible. It shows to everyone in this New World that you are truly the Son of the Strongest and most powerful Supreme Being. Our Lord, please lead us, along with your father, for the rest of eternity."
"I accept your devotion, hear me, you will follow my father's words first before mine. Until the day father finally conquers the world, we shall not rest, work harder from now on, and experiment with various things. Become stronger, so that this world and many others will be ours!", Filius ordered.
"Yes! Young Master", they all said in unison.
"Now raise your heads and sit, my father will show you that even the strongest guardian is nothing but a near spec of dust compared to him", Filius said.
Back with Ainz...
"Hm?", Shalltear tilted her head in confusion, "Strange? What did you just do? It seems you casted a spell just now, but nothing has happened." She then smiled, "Poor Lord Ainz, it seems he is getting rusty, all those years sitting on the throne must've deteriorated your skill huh."
"Speak all you want, what matters next is if you can beat me or not", Ainz said as he stood up straight.
Shalltear still had her smug smile, "Such a poor man, not willing to give up even when you know you will lose, hiya!" Shalltear launched herself at Ainz, she didn't even care that she be hit by the mines, she needed to hit Ainz before he could cast any more spells.
Just as Shalltear was about to strike Ainz's chest, he vanished from her sight. Shalltear was shocked, she quickly turned around or tried, when suddenly she was struck by three holy lances. She screamed in pain, she turned around and saw Ainz in the sky, Ainz then raised his hand in the air, and a massive ball of lava and electricity formed in his hand.
Shalltea was dumbfounded, [How?! How is he doing that without casting magic?! Wait, that is magic, but then how? He never chanted a spell?!]
Ainz threw the sphere of lava and electricity, Shalltear quickly flew backward trying to run away. What she didn't realize was that there was a trap waiting for her where she was flying. It was the last trap that Ainz had, Hidden Vortex. Shalltear was stuck, she was being sucked into the vortex, she couldn't fly forward or she would be hit by the Ainz's attack. "I won't let you!", she decided to take a risk. Shalltear let herself be sucked in by the vortex but before she was dragged away she chanted a spell, "Force sanctuary!"
A massive wall of white light appeared in front of Ainz's attack, both spells clashed with one another creating so much force that both Shalltear and Ainz were blown away.
Ainz was forced back by the explosion he reacted quickly, he raised both of his hands in the air. Above him, a massive barrage of dark spheres appeared, after the last sphere is manifested, he swings down both his arms forward.
Shalltear who was blown away, quickly gets to her feet, "Force Sanctuary!" The massive barrage of dark bullets was coming her way, so she activated her shield.
Both holy magic and dark magic met once more, Ainz and Shalltear wouldn't give up, this was close to the end of their battle.
Shalltear was being pushed back, she couldn't hold this much longer, her MP was draining fast from using so many high-level spells. She was shocked by the number of unknown spells that Ainz was using, what surprised her even more, was the fact that Ainz hadn't run out of MP. He casted spell after spell and was still using magic. Suddenly behind Ainz, a light appeared, she was shocked by what Ainz was doing.
Ainz while using his spell had activated one of his most powerful skills, The Goal of all Life is Death.
Shalltear was getting annoyed she was being played like a flute. She then decided to take another big risk, she had seen Ainz activate two spells at once which meant she could too. "Force Sanctuary!", Shalltear yelled again, "Force Explosion!". As her holy shield wall appeared she created an explosion which caused both her Force Sanctuary spells to expand and grow, creating an opening for her.
Ainz was dumbfounded, he never expected that Shalltear would adapt so quickly to his overpowering her. Though that was just an instant, he already knew the outcome of this battle.
Shalltear flew away from her past position, she decided t use her trump card, she flew at a good distance and activated it. Suddenly Shalltear's shadow started expanding.
Ainz saw this and smiled, he then activated his secret spell, this was a spell created by Filius. Ainz had witnessed Filius use it once before when he was training, it seemed like a very powerful spell so he learned it. "Activate!", he yelled.
Shalltear who was distracted from casting her spell never saw the attack coming. A small ball of energy was the shot from the woods, the ball struck Shalltear square in the face.
"Huh? What happened?", Shalltear slammed against the floor.
Einherjar, her trump card, was dispelled due to her not feeding it mana. She was in trouble, she lost mana, she was stunned on the floor and she was too far away from Ainz to stop him.
The clock for Ainz's skill, The Goal of All Life is Death, finally activated. Instantly everything around him was destroyed, for two and a half miles everything was destroyed, nothing but sand and infertile dirt. In the center of the sand stood two figures, one was of the dumbstruck Shalltear, and across from her stood Ainz Ooal Gown.
"How? How?! How did you do that?!", Shalltear yelled, she lost. She was defeated so one-sidedly that it was laughable. She felt anger, fear, and despair she never felt so powerless.
"Shalltear Bloodfallen, you believed that this would be an easy victory. You are facing a Supreme Being, not just any Supreme Being, but the Leader of the forty-one Supreme Beings. I am no longer Momonga, that name was from Yggdrasil. In the new world I am, Ainz Ooal Gown, the new and only Supreme Being", Shalltear shivered from Ainz's frightening words.
She tightened her grip on her lance, she couldn't stand for this, she couldn't, "Enough!!" She charged at Ainz and shoved her lance forward aiming for his chest.
"It's time to end this! Force explosion!", Ainz chanted his spell, forcing Shalltear away, he wanted to reduce Shalltear's HP and send her far enough so he could finally end this once and for all.
"No!", Shalltear wasn't going to roll over anymore, she jammed her spear on the floor and held her ground. She then shot herself from the floor with all her speed, she tried getting close, but she was intercepted by another attack. It was the Sniper Shot attack that Ainz used to cancel Enjeriar.
The Sniper Shot was aimed at her face, she quickly twisted herself in mid-air and managed to evade it, but she was met with something else. Ainz had finally used his sticks, he snapped two of them as he charged towards Shalltear after his Sniper Shot was launched. The sticks he used were the Armor of his friend Touch-me, Compliance with Law, and the Female Sensei's Iron Fist of Wrath from his friend Yamaiko.
He slammed the gauntlet in Shalltear's unguarded face, he got in a perfect uppercut, sending Shalltear flying. He then quickly snapped another stick, then another item appeared, this time it was a bow. The bow his friend Peroroncino used, Houyi's bow, he quickly drew the string and shot at Shalltear's flying body. He had shot three arrows in the span of three seconds, all of them hit his target.
Shalltear couldn't move, she was being beaten in both magic and weapon-wielding, she was being defeated, no, she was defeated. She couldn't beat him, he was too much for her.
"Greater Teleportation!", Ainz then teleported above Shalltear as she was still falling, he had raised both arms in the air, and in his hands was a massive axe. He slammed it down on her and she was struck down.
BAM!!!
Ainz, who was flying in the air, opened his hand allowing the Axe to go back home. He slowly let himself land on the ground, when he reached the floor he was in a crater. He had put all his power into slamming the axe down on Shalltear and this was the result. A massive crater in the sand, in the center, was Shalltear, and around her was her splattered blood.
"... It's over Shalltear", Ainz said, "Any last words?"
Shalltear struggled to even look at Ainz, "...its an honor....to have battled....you, my lord..." She coughed out blood and turned to her side trying not to choke, she then shifted her eyes to her master, "I...am...so...sorry...I am...unworthy of being...your servant...."
Shalltear's armor and lance started crumbling, after everything disappeared she was left with her dress which was torn up, and he messy hair. Ainz bent over and picked her up, he held her with both his arms and embraced her softly, "Shalltear, I am the only one who can determine your worth. To me, you are valuable, more than you realize."
Shalltear shed a tear and smiled, "I'm glad...to hear that."
"Rest, it's over now", Ainz moved in closer and kissed Shalltear on the cheek. Shalltear smiled and closed her eyes letting herself fall asleep from exhaustion.
Ainz looked up at the sky, and smashed the hourglass in his hand, "Fallen Down!"
With Filius....
Filius sighed and spoke, "Naberal."
"Yes, My Lord?", Naberal asked.
"Tell the rest of the Pleides to get ready and assist Pandora's actor. We will need the exact amount of gold for a Shalltear's resurrection", Filius said in a serious tone.
Naberal nodded, "It shall be done, my Lord."
"Albedo", Filius called for her as he stood up.
"Yes, Young Master?", asked Albedo.
"You, along with the Demiurge and Cocytus, call for all the servants of Nazarick, except Gargantua, to be present in the throne room", Filius said.
"Yes! Young Master!", the three guardians said in unison and left.
Filius looked at the mirror and saw his father's figure once more, he could tell his father was distraught, it was probably due to him being forced to kill Shalltear. Filius knew how much Ainz loved Nazarick and all of its people, he could tell his father's feeling even if they hadn't talked. The reason was that he also loved Nazarick just as much as his father did.
Sometime later.....
Ainz was now in the throne room, and beside him stood Filius and Albedo. On the bottom of the steps were the Guardians, the Pleides, and the rest of Nazaricks servants. Everyone was formed around the pillars in the room, the reason for this is that there were mountains of gold in the center of the hall. That gold would be used in order to revive their fallen companion, Shalltear.
Ainz stepped forward, "Albedo, please tell me if the name is still red. We might need to enter battle once more."
"Please, if that comes to pass, let us be the ones to fight her", Albedo spoke on behalf of the Guardians and her.
Ainz was hesitant about letting the guardians fight if that happened, he was about to speak but he was stopped by Demiurge.
"Please, Lord, it was terrifying enough to know that you were alone on the battlefield without any backup", Demiurge said.
Ainz went silent not knowing how to respond, he was glad that they were worried about her, but he was saddened by the fact of them having to kill the memory of one of his friends.
"Please listen, Lord Ainz", Albedo spoke in a soft tone, Ainz turned to look at her in wonder, "If a guardian is rebelling, it's up to the guardians to handle this. If you were to disappear we would lose a reason to live." Albedo and the rest of the servants, Albedo turned to Filius, "I don't mean any disrespect Young Master, though I believe that you feel the same."
Filius nodded, "Father, you are the core that held all the Supreme Beings together and united. With your leadership, Nazarick became the strongest, here in the New World, we want that. I still believe I am not ready, it would become very lonely if I didn't have my father, my family, and my comrade."
Ainz sighed and nodded, "You're right, it does get lonely when no one is around." Ainz looked up and looked at all the banners hanging in the hall, he remembered all those times when would grind level with his friends and how they struggled. He was now in the New World, he was alone, or he thought he was, until now.
Ainz sighed and mentally smiled, then he walked to Albedo.
Albedo was wondering what was going on, Ainz reached out for her hand which stunned her at first. Ainz grabbed her hand softly and moved it to his lips kissing it, "Thank you for believing in me, Albedo."
"With pleasure, Lord Ainz", Albedo said with a blush.
"All of you!", Ainz spoke to everyone as he turned around while still holding Albedo's hand, "Continue to protect me, my Guardians!"
"Yes!", everyone said in unison.
Albedo and Ainz walked down the steps together, Ainz lifted up his staff in the air, "Commence the resurrection!"
It would take 500 million gold to revive a person, in this case, that would be an NPC. Though the problem was if the game revival system worked the same here in the New World.
After confirming the request, the revival process began, all the gold that was in the room started liquifying. All the liquid gold started shrinking and approaching the center, then it formed a silhouette. The shape of the figure was about the size of a small thin girl.
After a while of waiting, the liquid gold finally formed the figure of Shalltear. Then the color of the figure changed, it was now a sleeping but naked Shalltear. She was back, she was a beauty while sleeping, her pale but soft skin as well as her white hair and small beautiful body.
"Albedo?", asked Ainz.
Albedo looked at the name roster and Shalltear's name was white, "be at ease my lord, she is free from the mind control."
As Ainz walked to her he let go of Albedo's hand, which saddened her a bit, Ainz entered his pocket dimension and pulled out a blanket. He tossed the blanket over Shalltear, and it landed perfectly on top of her body. He bent over and held her in his arms, this caused Albedo's heart to hurt a bit.
Ainz lifted up Shalltear, at that moment she woke up. Shalltear looked around her wondering where she was, she then met Ainz's gaze.
"Shalltear? Are you feeling well?", asked Ainz, Shalltear was confused by the question, "I'm sorry Shalltear, it was because of my mistake that you got hurt."
"I don't know what you mean", Shalltear asked, she then wrapped her arms around Ainz's neck, "But what I know, is that this moment couldn't be a mistake." Shalltear then giggled, "So this is where my first time will be."
Albedo sneered and smiled, "Lord Ainz, I believe Shalltear has still not fully recovered, we may need to fix her mental state."
Shalltear grunted at Albedo's sarcasm, Ainz then let Shalltear go and stood up, "Tell me Shalltear, do you feel any discomfort?"
Shalltear was confused at first, but she checked herself making sure there was nothing wrong, "I feel the same as ever."
Ainz sighed in hopefulness, suddenly there was a shriek, everyone turned to look at Shalltear.
"It's gone! My chest is a washboard!", Shalltear yelled.
Everyone had mixed expressions, Demiurge was angry, Cocytus palmed his face, Aura and Mare both sighed, while the other NPCs deadpanned.
"Do you even know the situation you were in?", Albedo asked in an angered tone.
"So you conveniently have forgotten, but your peers still remember your blunder!", Demiurge yelled.
"What an idiot!", shouted Aura, "You did something unforgivable to Lord Ainz, aren't you ashamed?"
Ainz walked back to the steps and sat down, Filius stood there beside him waiting, after a minute passed by Filius spoke, "So, what is the plan? Will we go and get payback for this?"
Ainz thought about it a bit, "No, we need power, more power than they could ever imagine. I want them to feel fear and despair, the Slane Theocracy will fall, but I want to see them burn. First, we conquer the Re-estize Kingdom, then the Dwarf Kingdom."
"Two good moves, we get numbers and then we get craftsman", Filius said while taking mental notes about these strategies. "I believe after that we should attack or conquer the Baharuth Empire, they may bend to power after we have conquered Re-estize, but I believe they would still make moves in the shadows."
"Yes, that would be the best move", Ainz nodded, "After that, I believe we should make an allegiance with the Elf Kingdom. Then we pincer the Slane Theocracy from both sides."
"Perfect plan father, I will get all the information we have on Re-estize and compile it so we can review it", Filius said.
Ainz nodded at his suggestion, Filius then called for Yuri and whispered him the orders. Yuri nodded and left the grand hall to make preparations.
After that Albedo saw Ainz and Filius speaking and came to them, "Sorry Young Master, but may I take him for a moment", Albedo said with a smile.
Filius nodded, Albedo smiled happily grabbed Ainz's hand, and softly pulled him up.
Filius smiled at the view and nodded, "We are coming for you, Slane Theocracy."
