Isekai Restuarant (Rewrite)

- Silas -

Ainz on the other hand had already donned his armour and taken the lead, standing outside the shop, in quite a grand manner if I might add.

He started facing the one who seemed to be the leader of the group.

"We are Ainz Ooal Gown. This place is under our protection. We do not believe they have caused you any harm. For what reason do you attack this place?"

One by one the other people in the Restaurant came out as well.

Rimuru, Kisuke-san, Tohru and I.

The reply he got was not favourable in the least.

"Hehehehe a lowly knight and a lackey of a little devil at that, is questioning us? This is so funny, teacher." A young girl dressed in purple gothic style clothes pointed at Ainz and laughed. "Hey teacher, can I kill them? Please, please pretty please?"

Is she mad?

A man dressed in a suit beside them scowled at me and then looked at Tobio. "Tch, to think that the Five Principal Clans have fallen so low as to allow such filthy creatures. It just shows that they are not worthy of their titles anymore. Do you see this? Do you still think they deserve to rule?"

….

What the fuck, dude?

I haven't even opened my mouth yet and you are dissing me already.

The woman with the crazy girl looked at Ainz and replied. "Why do we attack, you ask? We do this because we want to do this. I mean, do you care for every ant walking in your path? No. They just get crushed. It's not intentional, just your bad luck to encounter us. In this world weaklings like you have no right to speak." There was no inflection in her voice, not even disdain.

….these people….they were complete psychopaths.

Ainz however was completely unmoved by their crazy banter. He took a step forward and spoke.

"You are correct."

Yes, you tell them Ainz….wait what?

"The weak have no right to speak. They can only listen. But I am a kind man, so I will give you a choice… Do not cause any trouble here. If you choose to not listen to advice, both you and your entire organisation will burn."

….

….

What the fuck, dude?

Is he really Suzuki? Did he go off the deep end already?

"Hehehehe they are so funny, teacher. A little warrior, a young girl, a pretty boy and a weak devil. They want to take down the Wizards of Oz and the Utsusemi Organisation. Can I kill them please?" The girl beside the woman laughed.

At this time another figure appeared from my Restaurant.

He was wearing a Gold and purple trim adorn a dark jacket, shirt, pants, and high boots. A long hood casts a shadow to hide the upper half of his face. The only discernible facial features were his mouth and the glow of red eyes.

We looked at him questioningly and he spoke. "I was asked to help by a black haired boy from the Midgard Knight Academy. Is there any danger here? Am I late?"

"Oh! Cid sent help." I….wasn't expecting anyone but the guy actually went around asking for help.

It made my impression of the quiet guy improve by a lot.

"Well, nothing has started yet. You are on time, Cid-kun" Rimuru spoke before I could say anything further, making me stop.

"Say what?"

Tohru also whispered. "Yes Boss. It's that Sissy."

The boy was also taken aback but collected himself almost instantly and spoke in a deep voice. "Who is this Cid-kun you speak of? My name is Shadow: he who lurks in the shadows to hunt the shadows."

….

….

….

….

Was Ainz affecting others now or was this guy also a chunni?

"Hehehehe they keep on increasing, teacher. And this guy is so funny. Can I fight him please?"

"No need to waste time on trash. Get the targets and kill the rest. Attack." The guy commanded as one of his subordinates raced towards Ainz while he himself raced towards Cid.

I gripped my knife and was ready to make a move.

The children and their monsters surrounding us rushed towards us at the same time.

The guy was the first to make a move as he reached Ainz and bashed him with what looked like a staff with iron rings on it.

Is this guy an idiot? Would those even go past his plate armour?

My doubts were erased a moment later when the ground under Ainz's feet shattered as a wave of ice enveloped his form. "Hahahaha poor knight….do you think we are enemies who can be defeated by waving around that oversized blade of yours?"

I was about to slash at the guy almost reflexively but Rimuru held my hand back. I looked at the guy questioningly as he lifted his hand and pulled a Spiderman, throwing steel threads towards the attacking children, enveloping them in cocoons.

"Keep watching." He said as he stood guard beside me.

I looked towards the frozen pillar and saw it crash as a hand came out of it and grabbed the head of the attacker.

The man tried to remove it but no matter what he did, it was useless. He repeatedly bashed his staff on Ainz but there was no reaction at all.

"Hmm, true. A greatsword is indeed not good to deal with flies. For things like these….using bare hands is more convenient." And with that said, he clenched his hand, crushing the skull of that guy.

My grip on my knife shook.

I was pretty sure I heard someone yelp behind us.

….

A sudden moment of silence enveloped the whole place as Ainz looked towards the rest of the attackers and spread his hands. "Come flies. Understand the futility of your efforts."

"As expected. Ainz probably had high level ice and physical attack resistance. I didn't sense him receiving any damage." A second later, Rimuru spoke softly.

My neck snapped to look at the human turned slime.

That was a freaking pillar of ice, you know? He was frozen.

Can something like that even be called resistance?

But then again, I had seen Gojo-san do something like that too so I could contain my surprise.

"Rimuru-san, can you bring some of those kids here? I want to see if I can find a way to fix them." Kisuke-san asked.

"I think I might be able to help with this too." Zeref stepped up.

"Sure thing." Rimuru went Spiderman once again, pulling the cocoons from before to our side and in front of Kisuke-san and Zeref for them to take a look.

I wanted to check out what they were doing but didn't have time to think much as the older of the men, the one who was commanding the force of NotPokemon trainers, shouted in rage. "You filthy bastards! Attack them, kill them all."

The remaining kids suddenly changed their direction towards Ainz

"Please, don't kill our friends. They are not in control." Tobio pleaded again.

But instead of Ainz, this time there was someone else facing them.

Cid-kun stood in between them and asked. "It's fine if I attack the monsters, right?"

"Yes. That shouldn't be a problem." Kisuke-san said from behind us. "These monsters are more of a spiritual creation than actual monsters. Even if they die, the host would at best lose consciousness for a while, depending on the degree of attachment. They can always be cured."

"Very well then." Cid-kun nodded as a black coloured sword formed from his cloak into his hand and the very next instant, he disappeared from his place. What I saw were afterimages as he flashed between dozens of attacking monsters and they kept on shattering.

Fucking hell!

And he is supposed to be a beginner student at the Academy?

Cid-kun made his way through the crowd and within seconds was facing the man in the lead.

The man was stronger than the one who faced Ainz and was raising some kind of earthen Golems to send towards us.

The woman and the crazy girl also joined the fight, summoning what looked like a magic circle and attacking us with a hail of elemental attacks.

"Bakudo Number 81, Danku." A voice sounded before the attacks could hit us and blocked the attacks.

I looked back to see Kisuke-san with a hand raised in our direction while still looking at the subdued students.

"I see. So you people are truly hell bent on dying." Ainz spoke as his armour changed into a garb or some kind and a golden staff appeared in his hand. "In that case, let me fulfil your wishes." He lifted the staff and several beings similar to those elementals I had seen in games appeared and faced the golems and the older woman.

Back with the students, Zeref called the woman beside him. "What do you think of this, Irene?"

"They have enchanted some kind of energy onto the children to develop the monsters in their souls and done a terrible job at that. The monsters act almost like parasites, overwhelming their minds. If their goal was to give them power, a gradual process would have been much better than just shoving a monster inside them." The red haired woman had appeared beside Zeref before I realised and checked the children before speaking.

"Yes. It's like someone awakening their inner spirits, kinda similar to a Zanpakuto but their incomplete knowledge of souls made the whole process go haywire and now, instead of the kids controlling the spirits, they are being controlled by them." Kisuke-san spoke.

"Can you use your Separation Enchantment to remove the monsters from them?" Zeref asked the woman.

"I can but it will take some time." She replied but had already started working on one of the children whom Rimuru had captured.

"Hmm. Let me try something." He turned towards Touma. "Can you try to remove this? I believe you deactivating the enchantment will do the work."

The boy in question went hesitantly towards the tied up boy, removed his glove and touched it.

The target spasmed before fainting while the monster roared and collapsed.

The woman looked at Touma in awe and shock.

Even Kisuke-san was looking stunned at Touma.

"It's as I had guessed. Your gift is really something Touma-kun. Although, I'd suggest not touching the members of the restaurant because some of them are purely magical beings and might get seriously hurt by it."

"Indeed. I suggest wearing gloves like that inside the Restaurant at all times." Kisuke-san said.

The boy in question nodded profusely.

On the other side, the fights were getting heated up too.

Ainz was skillfully keeping the woman's attacks at bay while she was using some kind of purple fire which was giving me severe chills even looking at it.

On Cid-kun's end, he was almost done too.

The man fighting him had one of his hands severed and I might not be a master or anything but even I could tell that at this point, he was just playing with him.

Similarly, Rimuru had bound the crazy goth girl in a cocoon.

"You are not a warrior? What are you? Who are you people?" The woman screeched as part of her face was burned from the attacks of Ainz' elementals.

"We are Ainz Ooal Gown. With this name at stake, there can be no defeat."

I won't lie but….damn if that wasn't cool.

Ainz lifted his hand and all his elementals bombarded the area, completely devastating the woman.

When the smoke cleared, the woman was still standing but looked like she would fall at any time.

"How disappointing? I expected more from someone claiming to be strong….after all, even a mosquito bite is supposed to sting." Ainz looked at her and spoke in a calm tone.

Meanwhile I was wondering how the fuck he had so many cool dialogues. Did he write them in his spare time?

There is no way he was just winging everything.

"You think you have won? You will all die. My people will not let you live in peace so long as any of us still breathe. You will be hunted down till the end of hell." She screeched.

"The wailings of a defeated foe." Ainz waved it off and was about to kill her but was stopped by a voice..

"Please let me. I have a score to settle with her." Surprisingly, one of the girls with Tobio, if I recall correctly, she was called Lavinia, stepped forward to the face of the woman with a wand drawn to her face. "This is for my teacher."

Ainz didn't interfere and watched.

"Your teacher?"

"I am Glenda Goodwitch's disciple." The girl gritted through her teeth. "Today, I will avenge my teacher."

The woman looked at her and her face morphed into a smile that can only be described as… creepy.

"Your teacher… Glenda… she's alive." The woman laughed.

The girl paused. "... you are lying. I saw you kill her with my own eyes."

"I didn't kill her. Whose research do you think these monsters are? All from Glenda's research."

"You people extracted information from her forcibly." She gritted out.

The battle had almost finished and all of us quietly watched the two, trying to figure out the situation.

Ainz walked to my side and whispered into my ear. "This looks like a classic anime plot, doesn't it? I bet five bucks That Glenda woman is still alive and captive."

"I think she is just trying to mess with her by lying to make her switch sides for more information. Ten bucks." Rimuru whispered back.

"Ohh, can I join in? I personally think this woman is just buying time to do something." Kisuke-san walked in and whispered. The fuck dude. Where did you come from?

Even Cid-kun, who had arrived by our side after finishing his fight and Tohru nodded.

"Hat and Clogs, sounds right. Do I blast her off, boss?" Tohru asked. 

These guys, are they monsters?… oh wait…

"No Tohru, no blasting people off." I whispered back but even I was watching the scene.

In the meanwhile, the woman took out something from her waist and did something to the talisman. "Glenda."

Another voice appeared on the other side. "What do you need from me, Augusta?"

I saw Lavinia pause, her body freezing completely.

"Your former apprentice is seeking you and wants to kill me. Don't you have anything to say to her?"

"... Lavinia? She was an interesting subject because of her Longinus but that's it. Her Sacred Gear helped my research. I have no use for her now." The call was cut.

The girl Lavinia looked as if she was devastated and Augusta laughed before quickly swiping at her but the next second Augusta's body fell down as a flash of light surrounded them.

….

Lavinia stood up and a figure which looked like a doll of ice appeared behind her as purple flames appeared around her once more while the original body of the woman lay beside her.

She laughed but her voice now seemed to be overlapping with Augusta's. "You wanted to kill me, right. So die. You, your friends, this entire country DIE!"

"Possession?" Ainz said. 

"That's troublesome." Kisuke-san tugged his hat down.

Well obviously.

You people were busy playing Vegeta.

"Don't worry. We just need to cut off their connection and the girl will be safe." Rimuru said.

Cut off?

Suddenly a thought struck me.

"Let me try something." I said, going forward. "Just cover me, alright."

"Got it."

I took a position with the knife once more as the woman sent those same spine chilling purple flames at me.

Several magical barriers formed in front of me, blocking the attacks.

I bit my tongue, forcing myself to push back the fear of those flames and concentrate on the thing I wanted to do.

The knife in my hand changed shape once more, taking the shape of a cleaver.

My Cursed Energy flared, before concentrating on the blade as a silver black aura enveloped it.

Cut off the connection between them.

Cut off the connection between them.

Cut that woman's soul.

With this single thought in mind, I waved my knife.

One moment Lavinia was attacking us and the very next moment, her body fell while the woman's body jolted awake as she let out a piercing shriek, looking at us with bloodshot eyes.

"Nooooooooo! You bastardssss! The Wizards of Oz and the Utsusemi Agency will never let go of this. You will all be chased till the ends of this world. None of you will be able to take a single breath of peace so long as even one of us lives." The woman continued to curse.

I however was not paying any attention to that.

It worked.

It actually worked.

"That was some impressive show of magic, Silas." Zeref said as he patted my shoulder. "Let me take care of the rest."

The woman with Zeref looked towards Zeref with a smile. "It's not everyday you get to see Emperor Spriggan in action."

"Emperor? Is Zeref a King or something?"

– Ainz –

Ainz watched as the harmless looking guy walked forward and the next moment, his eyes widened… or would have if he had eyes. The amount of magic power he was releasing was insane.

"Since we will not be able to rest while you live, there is only really just one solution to this. I just have to make sure there are no survivors. But I will still give you a chance… surrender… or perish."

The woman however had lost her mind already and a wave of fire rushed towards us.

Zeref joined his hands in the position of prayer and opened them to show a sphere of magic circles formed between them. "Very well. You have chosen your own fate. I invoke… Law."

The sphere of black magic expanded almost instantly and Ainz didn't even have the chance to resist before it passed over him and then went beyond the horizon till nothing could be seen anymore.

Before he could ask what was happening, the remaining monsters all crumbled apart and the children fainted. The women also fell to the ground, lifeless.

Lavinia fell to the ground too but I could see that she was breathing slowly.

"Wh-what was that?" The other blonde girl struggled but finally asked.

The red haired woman who was giving off a feeling of danger from the very start explained. "Spriggan Law. It defeats anyone the user designates as an enemy. No defence works against it. With the Emperor's strength, he can easily cover a large country with its effect. Once you are hit by it… you lose."

….

….

A green light flashed over him.

"I see." Was all he could utter but not because he didn't have any thoughts.

His thoughts were on hyperdrive.

An AoE, targeted OHKO with a defence ignore, covering an entire country.

What the hell? Someone call the admins! This guy is hacking!

Really. He didn't even doubt the woman's words because she was talking about it as if she had witnessed it more than once already.

The harmless mage with the sad backstory turned out to be a fucking raid boss in disguise. Even now he looked at the open jaws of everyone else.

This kind of Skill was gamebreaking and would have been nerfed to the lowest pits of hell in the very next patch and here, this guy looked as if he wasn't even bothered.

What if the world where Nazarick had landed had something like this guy too?

Wouldn't he go to sleep one day only to continue sleeping forever?

It was good that he asked Demiurge to search the other areas first.

Maybe he can establish some trade agreements with Zeref and Mikam… Rimuru too.

Yes.

Slow and steady was the way to survive.

"Did I miss something? Where are the monsters?" At this time a voice came from behind them and Saitama walked out with a yellow costume and white cape.

….

Meanwhile Silas was thinking about what would happen to the now destroyed neighbourhood.

Author's Note:

This chapter took around 1.5k more words than usual.

The chapter would have been a day early but damn this fever.

Anyways, we have reached this point.

Things will be a bit slower than in the snippet with more events explored in more detail as Silas trains and gains power gradually.

Look forward to the next chapter.

Enjoy the new chapter.

Good Day, Peace Out.
