Overlord (book 1)

"Uh? No, no, that is not how it is! You better be grateful to Momonga-sama! “

"Aura, it does no matter to me. Your goods intentions are well understood. I do not doubt Mare’s ability as the guardian."

"Ah, yes, yes! Thank you, Momonga-sama."

"Thank, thank you."

They respectfully salute and Momonga can not help but feel a little uncomfortable. In particular,

those two people pierced Momonga with shiny eyes. Never been seen so respected, Momonga

tried to hide his shyness and deliberately cough a bit:

"Well, yes, I would like to ask you Aura, do you feel bored with no intruders coming?"

"- Ah, no, that, that......"

Seeing Aura’s fearful looks, Momonga feels that he asked the question wrong:

"I will not blame you, so please speak your heart content.”

"...... Yes, a little bored. There are no opponents nearby who can keep up a fight for more than 5 minutes with me"

While answering, she put her index fingers close together. As a guardian of this floor, she

reached level 100. There are only a few who can rival in her power in this tomb. Speaking of

NPC, including Aura and Mare, there are a total of nine people who can, with one exception.

"What if you take Mare as your opponent?"

Suddenly, Mare’ body starts shaking. He shook his head constantly with moist eyes and looks

very scared. Aura looks at the scared Mare and sighed. With her sigh, a sweet scent filled the

surrounded. Thinking about Aura’s ability, Momonga backs away from the smell.

"Ah, sorry, Momonga-sama!"

Aura hurries with her hand and disperse the air.

[Passive Skill]

Aura who has the trainer special skills, can also activate a kind of strengthening and weakening

effects with this skill. This skill activates through breathing and the effect reaches several meters in radius. If the user actively uses the skills, the effect can be extended to an incredible distance and sometimes tens of meters in radius can be reached.

In Yggdrasil, for strengthening effect and weakening the effect, an icon will appear in front of

you to show if its active or not. But now these changes do not appear anymore, so it became

quite cumbersome.

"There is nothing anymore, the effect has been stopped!"

"This ah ......"

"...... But Momonga-sama is Undead, the effect of this skill should be useless against you,

right?"

In Yggdrasil it was true. The Undead will not be affected by any effects, whether it is good or

bad, it is all the same.

"...... Have I entered the effects range yet?"

"Well."

Aura shrinks hers neck even Mare next to her did the same.

"...... I'm not angry, Aura." Momonga tried gently as possible to appease them.

"Aura ...... you do not need to be so afraid. Do you think such casual resorted skills can affect me? I simply ask you, if I am within the range of your effect."

"Yes! You have already entered the effect range of my ability."

Aura feels relieved to hear Momonga’s response. Momonga feels a pressure inside his clothes

and his stomach started throbbing. So if he weakens, what should he do? Every time he thought

of this, he wanted to put aside this idea.

"So what is the effect?"

"The results ...... Should be [Fear]."

"Well, Well ......"

He did not feel [Fear]. In Yggdrasil, members of the guild or team-mate cannot attack each other.

Although this rule should not count anymore, but still it should be confirmed in advance.

"I remember, Aura’s ability wil not have a negative effect on allies."

"Huh?"

Aura could not help staring. Mare also exposed the same expression next to her. Momonga

could tell from these two expressions that it was not the case.

"Did I remember it wrong?"

"Yes, I can only freely change the effect range, maybe you got confused with this?"

Rules that prohibit companions to attack each other is really ineffective. Mare who is nearby

seems unaffected, may be he is equipped with an items that prevent this effect.

The artifact items Momonga is equipped with do not have a resistance against this effect, is it

because he is Undead? Why doesn’t Momonga feel [Fear]?

There are two speculations. Either he is relying on the value of his basic ability to block it. Or it is blocked because of his special abilities the spirit of the deceased.

Because he does not know which speculation is right, Momonga intends to conduct further

experiments:

"Can you try to use the effects on others?"

Aura’s head tilts and makes a strange questioning sound. Once again, it reminded Momonga of

a puppy’s look and he can not help but reach out and touch Aura's head.

Her head feels smooth like silk and feels quite comfortable. Because Aura did not reveal any

unpleasant look, Momonga could not help but want touch her face as well. But with Mare’s eyes

staring at the side made Momonga stop. What could Mare be thinking about this? After a brief

reflection, Momonga releases his wand and strokes Mare's hair with the other hand. Mare's hair

seems to feel nicer and while Momonga is absently thinking about these things, he finally

remembers:
