OVERLORD: The Second Supreme Being

Chapter 23: Chapter 23: The True Ancestor of Vampires



"I think we should prepare for the worst."

"Albedo, have all the guardians who are out on duty return to Nazarick. Nazarick is to be placed on the highest alert."

"Understood."

Albedo then withdrew to inform the other guardians who were out.

"Although Peroroncino, what you said makes a lot of sense, I still feel like things aren't that simple. It's better to be cautious."

"Let's go to the treasure vault and get the world-class items!"

"Alright, we'll do as you say! Being cautious is definitely the right choice."

<Message>

"Nabe, is there something going on?"

"Lord Ainz, the Adventurers Guild came looking for you. They said they discovered something resembling a vampire in E-rantel and want to discuss it with you."

Momonga teleported over to the Adventurers Guild to understand the situation.

Since the Mithril adventurers were all killed during the previous undead siege, the only ones the Adventurers Guild could rely on were Momonga and Peroroncino.

But he couldn't find Peroroncino or Yulia, so he came to Momonga.

"That's actually a vampire I've been hunting, named Honyopenyoko." Momonga lied.

Afterwards, Peroroncino and Momonga went to the treasure vault, where Pandora had transformed into Tachimi and was polishing the items.

"Lord Momonga, Lord Peroroncino, what might the two esteemed ones be taking today?"

"I'm here to take a world-class item."

"Ah~ a world-class item~ one that can change the world~ a testament to supreme greatness... Has the treasure hidden deep within Nazarick finally found its purpose?" Pandora said in an exaggerated tone, making grand gestures.

Momonga covered his face with his hand, unable to bear looking at him.

Peroroncino ignored Pandora and walked over to where the world-class items were stored.

"I've changed my name. I'm now Ainz Ooal Gown."

After saying this, Momonga followed Peroroncino's lead.

"Please take care, my esteemed ones," Pandora bowed to them.

"What world-class items do you plan to take?" Perorocino asked Momonga.

"<Map of Mountains and Rivers>

<Millions of Blades>

<Greed and Apathy>

<Cup of Xueya>"

After leaving the treasure vault, Momonga handed the Map of Mountains and Rivers to Aura, and Greed and Apathy to Mare.

He instructed them to investigate the situation nearby, and if they were in danger, they were to immediately retreat back to Nazarick.

"Understood," Aura answered immediately.

Mare was a bit worried about the safety of the two esteemed ones, but after seeing his sister accept the order, he also complied.

After Momonga and Peroroncino left:

Aura spoke, "Mare, if danger comes, you take the Map of Mountains and Rivers, Greed, and Apathy and retreat first."

"And you, sister?"

"I will not retreat until Lord Ainz and Lord Peroroncino retreat."

"I will stay too..."

"Mare, the importance of world-class items far exceeds our lives. We can die, but the world-class items must not fall into enemy hands."

"Sister, if that happens, I will leave the world-class items in Nazarick and come to support you."

"I will never abandon the two esteemed ones or you."

...

Meanwhile, Demiurge arrived at the reception room on the 9th floor of the Great Tomb of Nazarick. Albedo and Cocytus were there as well.

"Can you tell me the details of the situation?" Demiurge asked Albedo.

"The information provided is all there is."

"Why only let the two esteemed ones go? When Lord Ainz didn't take any guardians to E-Rantel, why didn't you stop Lord Ainz this time?"

"Because Lord Ainz said he wanted to personally defeat Shalltear. Seeing the determination of someone I care about, how could I refuse Lord Ainz?"

"At times like this, guarding our esteemed ones is the reason we guardians were created."

"Believing in our esteemed ones is what we guardians should do."

"Lord Ainz and Lord Peroroncino are two of the few remaining supreme beings here. If there are any threats to their safety, eliminating those threats is our mission."

"Even if we are blamed, even if we lose our lives, we must prioritize action." Demiurge stood up, ready to leave.

"Where are you going?"

"Of course, I'm gathering my subordinates to support the two esteemed ones."

At that moment, a blue giant axe blocked Demiurge's path.

"So that's the reason. This is why you called me back and ordered me to come?"

"Foolish, if anything happens to either of the two esteemed ones, how will you bear the responsibility?"

"The two esteemed ones will definitely return."

"How can you guarantee that!!!" Demiurge glared fiercely at Albedo. His anger was so intense that he almost revealed his true form.

"Just believe in our esteemed ones!"

"Cocytus, what do you think the chances are for the two esteemed ones to defeat Shalltear?"

"3 to 7, Shalltear 3, the two esteemed ones 7."

"How could it be 3 to 7 in favor of the two esteemed ones?"

"Lord Ainz and Lord Peroroncino both need front-line protection while dealing damage from the back. Shalltear's class is very effective against Lord Ainz. And Shalltear has the Spuit Lance, a divine-level weapon that can regenerate her health during battle. She has a real chance of fighting one against two."

......

Peroroncino and Momonga arrived in front of Shalltear.

"Are we really going to kill Shalltear?" Momonga hesitated, not wanting to strike.

"Other than that, I can't think of any other way. We don't have any world-class items that can break the control."

"You're probably the one who finds it hardest to harm Shalltear," Momonga said, looking at Peroroncino.

"You're right, I really don't want to hurt Shalltear."

"Shalltear took up half of my effort in this game. The Spuit Lance, Heroic Warriors, and resurrection items—these are top-tier items and equipment that are rarely seen in the hands of players, and I gave them to her. Her appearance and personality are exactly the type I like..."

"In that case, I'll fight Shalltear alone!"

"Do you remember why I set Shalltear's combat template? It was specifically to deal with you."

"I won't lose. I bet on Ainz..."

"Don't be foolish. How could I just watch you fight alone without doing anything? Ainz Ooal Gown doesn't just represent you," Peroroncino patted Momonga on the shoulder.

Peroroncino extended his hand, clenched his fist toward Momonga.

Momonga also clenched his fist and fist-bumped Peroroncino.

<Glorious Emerald Body>

Momonga cast a defensive magic on both Perorocino and himself.

"It seems that as long as it's not an attack, there won't be any reaction."

"It's just like the game!"

"Now, we have complete control over the situation."

<Flight>

<Blessing of the Magic Chanting Master>

<Infinite Barrier>

<Magic Barrier>

...

Light continued to cover both Peroroncino and Momonga, and Momonga cast many buffs on both of them.

<False Intelligence>

"This is enough. Let's begin!"

A massive magic circle appeared within a 20-meter radius around Momonga.

Peroroncino and Momonga carefully observed the surroundings to check if there were any ambushes.

When casting supreme magic, it's the easiest time for the opponent to focus their attacks on you.

"No ambushes?"

Momonga took out a digital watch and put it on his arm.

"Momonga Onii-Sama, it's time to set the timer," the watch made by Bukubukuchagama voice sound.
