People of the proud kingdom of Re-Estize!
These devils are not deserving of our fear!
My sword and shield shall be with you!
Long live Prince Zanac!
Where did all the citizens go? Are they hiding inside their houses?
The doors have been broken down. They were probably taken somewhere else.
Iron and copper adventurers, stay here and search through the houses!
The rest of you spread out and form a line.
Here they come.
An Overeating, Gazer Devils, and 15 Hellhounds...!
Hey, don't run away!
Toss me!
That just leaves the Gazer Devils and Overeating!
Such paltry opponents.
I, Momon the adventurer,
will now go and take down the enemy leader, Jaldabaoth!
In the meantime, keep the citizens who are beyond the wall safe.
I'm counting on you.
It's started.
Yes. We have to find the people taken prisoner now,
while the demons are distracted.
Yeah. According to the princess's conjecture,
the warehouses in this area are likely candidates.
Shalltear... Bloodfallen...
Climb, I'll buy us some time. You go on ahead.
What are you all doing in the capital?
Why should I have to be asked that by you?
Are you the only one who made it in this far?
Were you looking for someone else? Someone not me?
You? Why would I?
She's saying it's hard to remember someone as insignificant as an ant?
Would you rather I kill you? Would you like to die?
If you bow down to me and lick my boots, it may improve my mood.
Sorry, but I'm not inclined to do that.
Martial Art! Field!
Not being aware of the difference between our abilities is a real hassle.
Oh, I am aware.
Still, I can at least buy some time.
Wielding my sword...
is my life.
I may have fallen behind, but thank you...
...my friends.
Four Fold Slash of Light.
Huh?
You were aiming for it...?
It looks like you pass as a nail clipper.
You have my gratitude for the compliment.
My swordsmanship— My life has not been for nothing!
I've reached an unreachable height, if only in small part!
You sound like you have a screw loose somewhere.
Even with the One so close by, thanks to his detection-blocking ring,
I can't even sense his presence.
There's no way a human weakling is getting away from me unharmed!
Time Accelerator!
Is that...?
You are indeed strong.
We must have underestimated Jaldabaoth's forces.
I'll let you two take those five.
Let's get to it, Demiu— Demon!
I will take three if you will take two, is that all right?
I don't mind taking three.
You take two, and I'll take three.
You're a stubborn one.
I'll let you all decide who will fight me.
My name is Alpha. This here is Delta.
Is that so? You sure are courteous.
My name is Evileye.
I am the one who will defeat you!
What are you doing here? I told you to go on ahead!
W-Well, we...
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. I don't know what just happened,
but there has to be more to it than what you said.
Why isn't she coming after me?
What exactly did you do?
I found the monster who can stack up against Mr. Sebas.
And...?
I took my sword and... Yeah, I cut her fingernail with it!
I cut off her fingernail!
Y-Yeah, so you cut her nail with your sword. Sure, that is amazing.
Yes, I think... that's amazing...
In any case, it's a miracle nobody is coming after us. Let's hurry.
Martial Art! Dark Blade Mega Impact!
Floating Swords!
They just keep coming.
What do we do, fiendish boss?
This is bad. The priests are almost out of magic power.
Six Fold Slash of Light!
Finish them!
Why is Lord Stronoff here when he's supposed to be guarding the castle?
His Majesty?!
King Ramposa III?!
What is he doing here?!
His Majesty says...
"Is it the castle that you protect, or is it me?"
There is only one answer!
It is our role to protect the king!
As such, here is where we must fight!
Charge through!
Lord Stronoff, I need your help, please.
Of course.
Hold on a second!
Could you use the support of an once-outstanding warrior?
There's a future outstanding ninja here, too.
Gagaran! Tia!
Just lying around was making me soft.
We're ready to fight.
There's no way you can...
That's reassuring to hear!
Let's go!
Yeah!
Shard Buckshot!
Not again!
I'll cover you. Not that you need it.
Sand Field All!
Damn, it's not right for monsters to be teaming up and reinforcing each other!
What the—?!
Crystal Wall!
Fa jin?!
I should commend you. Immobilization and negative energy don't work on you.
You've got every resistance there is, huh?
They're still fighting over there.
In that case, I'm just going to have to buy a little more time!
This room is secure, right?
Everything is fine.
There is no one who can listen in on our conversation in here.
No one, huh? All right, tell me the entirety of your plan.
First, allow me to thank you very much for indulging me
when I said that I would like to meet with you, Lord Ainz.
Mm-hmm.
There are four merits to the series of plans I have made.
Four?! I don't know a single one of them!
Ho, I thought it was three.
I think this may be the first time that I have bested you in a contest of wits.
Oh, you always have the better of me.
How can you say such a thing? You are too modest.
No, really. Ahem...
Now, why don't you tell me about these four merits?
Yes, my lord. The first one
is that we are claiming all of the materials that are in these storehouses.
Mm-hmm.
Fantastic! Now we won't have to worry about being low on funds for a while.
Second, it allows us to cover up our part
in our strike against Eight Fingers, which you instructed us to do.
Now that you mention it, you said that your goal was to recover an item.
Please have a look at this.
The magic imparted within this treasure is the tenth-tier magic,
"Armageddon Evil".
A spell to summon a large number of demons.
This is an item created by Lord Ulbert. Should we use it here?
Hmm...
Demiurge, you may use this.
It is also an item that was created by Ulbert.
It's a prototype, but it should do, all the same.
L-Lord Ainz, I couldn't possibly use your own personal object!
Oh, no? Then I will give it to you, Demiurge.
However, Ulbert might feel self-conscious
that his failed creation has remained around for so long.
Such a...
I am most grateful.
Stop that, Demiurge.
Consider it as thanks for your loyalty.
We guardians were created by the Great Ones.
It is only right that we demonstrate the utmost loyalty until we perish.
Nonetheless, for you to once again address me with such charity,
not to mention grant me with a reward such as this...!
I, Demiurge, humbly offer you even deeper devotion!
Uh, mm-hmm. I look forward to it.
So, Demiurge, there's something more you want to tell me, right?
Yes, my lord. With that narrative in place,
Jaldabaoth has attacked the Eight Fingers bases looking for this,
which ended up with him seizing the capital's warehouse district.
And of course, this item will be found in the warehouse
that serves as Eight Fingers' base, all according to plan.
So then, what is the third merit?
Right. We have captured the humans on the inside of the wall of flame.
The majority of them are already being taken away to Nazarick,
where I was thinking that they could be put to all kinds of uses.
Regardless of their age or gender, am I right?
Yes.
It's true, ever since I ended up in this body,
I haven't felt a sense of affinity for the human race.
No matter how many we kill, it hasn't pained my heart,
so long as it benefited Nazarick.
Still, even so...
Demiurge, see that those who do not dishonor the Great Tomb of Nazarick,
nor myself, are given deaths that are without pain and suffering.
How benevolent of you!
It shall be as you wish.
Back to the subject at hand.
What does that leave as the fourth merit?
Right. I will pin all of the ill repute upon the demon Jaldabaoth.
In other words, your goal is to establish yourself as a notorious demon.
He's using this to increase the fame of the adventurer Momon.
That makes sense. I'm convinced.
So then, is there anything you want me to cooperate with you on?
All you need to do now is drive me off, and there should be no problem.
I would like to do everything within my power
to serve as your foil, Lord Ainz.
Wow, that little girl out there is pretty good, huh? What was her name?
I don't know; I have no interest in these gnats' names.
I believe she is Evileye of the Blue Rose.
She was listed in the information that Lord Sebas collected.
Oh, so that's her name.
Hey Na, are you sure your mind isn't just starting to go?
Can the rest of you remember the names of humans?
No problem for me. I pay close attention to proper names.
No worries. Actually, I get along pretty well with humans.
Not a problem.
There's an earthquake. It looks like one of Mare's.
Is this some kind of sign?
That's right. Okay, Narberal, it's time for you to assume some injuries.
I want to make it as painless as possible. I hope you'll forgive me.
What other choice is there? This is our job.
The devil! This is the devil's doing!
Stay calm! Please stay calm!
Help me! My child isn't here!
My wife was taken away!
Where is my child? He's only three!
Papa! Mama!
Tch, it's just as the princess said.
Sure enough, they split up the families when they took them.
Can you still fight?
Of course. No problem.
Lord Momon!
That was just a little bit fun. How can I describe it? Real?
It feels like I'm actually getting to fight.
I am pleased to hear it.
Now, I will start fighting in earnest.
Come at me, Jaldabaoth!
Aspect of the Devil: Hellfire Mantle!
To be melting a weapon of this level, you must have boosted your power.
Right you are.
The flames of hell?!
Yes. Even if you possess a perfect resistance against flame,
you will not come away unharmed from this.
Frost Pain Modified!
What exactly is that? It's much like that spear you used earlier.
Icy Burst!
You truly are strong.
As are you.
What a pair these two are...
I have a proposal for you.
I will be withdrawing now. Shall we call this the end of our battle?
Don't be ridiculous!
Very well.
I cannot surmise why you would have brought a woman
as unintelligent as her with you, Mr. Momon.
If you'd just think for a moment, I'm sure you'll understand.
I have my demon hordes standing by to assault the whole capital at any time.
You'd take... the capital hostage?
Now then, we will make our retreat.
Unfortunately, without recovering the item that was our goal.
They're gone.
You did it! You won! Leave it to you, Lord Momon!
Er, excuse me, but could you give me some space?
You don't have to be bashful.
Hey!
You still alive?
Guys...
Lord Momon, declare victory to the others!
I'd be too embarrassed.
This is something that he who is most distinguished in battle must do!
Ah, I suppose you're right. It should be done.
Lord Momon is victorious!
Go Cry Go
You really are going back to E-Rantel?
I'd very much like to accompany you, but...
Don't worry about it.
You have done us an extremely great service.
Where is the truths?
Mm-hmm.
I understand His Majesty would have liked to thank you personally.
Ima mujou ittai no sekai de
This world is at one with futility
Here is no truths
That's quite all right, Marquis Raeven. I am grateful for all you've done.
Eikou mo naku ubaiau
We steal from one another without glory
It's like a party!
Not at all. I hope that we can continue our good relations moving forward.
Kousaku suru monotachi yo
Ye who cross each other's paths,
Tsukisusume hateru made
So forge on! Until you expire!
Members of Blue Rose, as a fellow adamantite class adventurer,
Shousha to haisha dochira mo maybe something crazy
Will you be winners or losers? Either is maybe something crazy
What can I believe?
I hope I can look to you the next time something comes up.
Sonna toi nante No one answer
Faced with that question, No one answers
As do we.
Very well then...
Subete kono kokuu no naka kietetta
Everything vanished into the void
He turned you down, huh?
No, he didn't.
Ima wa Break Out! Break Out! susume yo!
For now, Break out! Break out! proceed on!
That's just the kind of man he is.
Cry Out! Cry Out! sono ishi wo kakagete!
Cry out! Cry out! Hold your determination high!
As of now, you will all become servants of our master.
Saa motto Break Out! Break Out! sekai wo!
Escape faster, Break out! Break out! from this world!
Allow us to congratulate you.
Cry Out! Cry Out! kirihirake!
Cry out! Cry out! Cut your way through!
D-Don't be absurd!
We will begin by inviting you to a fun new place.
Mayottemo
Even if you lose your way
So we gatta just go crazy, crazy and mad
Yes, um, you are invited.
W-Wait!
Just go crazy now
Hilma...!
You don't mean me, do you? I helped you, didn't I?
Dance, dance crazy, crazy and mad
Yume ka jigoku ka Go Cry Go
Doesn't matter if it's an illusion, or hell: Go Cry Go
I've had it! I can't take any more of that!
Uh, what did you do to her?
I-I took her into Kyouhukou's room, and had him eat her from the inside out.
Oh, that figures. And then her wounds were cured with healing magic.
Hey, are you kidding? shinjitsu wo oikakereba
Hey, are you kidding? If you chase after truth,
It's only natural that she'd be more submissive.
Mayoikomu kiri no oku
You'll lose your way deep in the fog
Okay, lady, we need you to buy some time with the others
ou mono wa emono ni nari you gonna be hunted
The hunter will become the hunted, you gonna be hunted!
until we're sure they will obey us. Can you do that?
Who is liar? sonna toi datte
Who is a liar? Faced with even that question,
O-Of course I can! Just leave them to me!
Why, you... You wouldn't!
Here is winner shousha ga kotae ni natte yuku dake!
Here is the winner: the winner becomes the answer!
Okay then, we've taken over half the country now.
All those under your protection wish to express their gratitude, Princess Renner.
Subete Break Up! Break Up! kowashite!
No matter what, Break up! Break up! destroy it all!
My, I would sure like to see them.
Burn Up! Burn Up! Sono koe wo hibikase!
Burn up! Burn up! Let your voice resound!
You mustn't! I am so sorry to decline your kind feelings, but...
Yuganda Break Up! Break Up! mirai ni
In a twisted, Break up! Break up! future,
Well, I suppose that's that, then.
Burn Up! Burn Up! Kibou nado nai toshitemo!
Burn up! Burn up! Even if there's no hope!
Oh, yeah? You got beaten by Rigrit, too, huh?
Buzz off.
She got hurt bad.
And left in tears.
This sure takes me back.
Don't lump me in with you! In addition to that old lady,
I had all of these guys around!
Come to think of it,
Evileye, you can teleport, right? You could have created a portal to E-Rantel,
and then been able to go with Momon as you pleased, right?
Kurai sora no hoshi ni todokanai to shittemo
Even if we know we can't reach the stars in that dark sky,
Oh...
You didn't realize that?!
This is the new maid that has joined Nazarick.
Ah kono ryoute wo nobasu dake
Ah, we gotta reach out our hands
I'm Tuareninya. It is a pleasure to meet you.
How much would you like her to be able to do, woof?
Kanawanu kibou wo idaite!
And embrace impossible hopes!
Please make your objective getting her a passing grade as one of Nazarick's maids.
Ima wa Break Out! Break Out! susume yo!
For now, Break out! Break out! proceed on!
Although, since she is only human,
Cry Out! Cry Out! sono ishi wo kakagete!
Cry out! Cry out! Hold your determination high!
please keep her training geared with that in mind.
I understand, woof. Being a maid is simply a temporary assignment, then.
Saa motto Break Out! Break Out! sekai wo!
Escape faster, Break out! Break out! from this world!
Cry Out! Cry Out! kirihirake!
Cry out! Cry out! Cut your way through!
What do you mean by that?
Only that she will be quitting once she's married. Er, woof.
Mayottemo
Even if you lose your way
So we gatta just go crazy, crazy and mad
Just go crazy now
Dance, dance crazy, crazy and mad
Yume ka jigoku ka Go Cry Go
Doesn't matter if it's an illusion, or hell: Go Cry Go
Welcome back,
Lord Ainz!
I have checked into this man named Ainz Ooal Gown.
If this man truly exists,
he could use magic of my caliber, or perhaps even greater.
I see. Is that why you are so pleased, old man?
Naturally.
It takes all sorts of oracles to peer into the magical abyss.
If possible, I'd like to meet him personally.
I would also like you to collect information
on an adamantite class adventurer known as the raven-black Momon.
Will you help me with that, old man?
Of course I will, Your Majesty.
