Overlord (book 1)

kept this item around.

“Drink.”

Momonga held out the red syrup. The older sister’s face paled:

“I, I wil drink it! But please let my younger sister go───”

“Sister!”

With a crying face, the younger sister was trying to stop the older sister, also apologising to her

sister who was going to grab onto the potion. Looking at the interaction between the sisters,

Momonga felt confused.

From the beginning he was obviously trying to save them, even going so far as to offer them a

potion, why must they show their sisterly affection towards each other in front of him. What the

heck is going on.

Not willing to trust anything. Although from the start they were waiting to face death, but right

now he should be considered their savior, they should be crying and gratefully thanking him for

his kindness. Don’t scenes like these happen a lot in Manga and movies? But the situation in

front of him was totally different.

What went wrong? Could it be that I must have a beautiful appearance in order to receive that

privilege?

Doubt floated onto Momonga’s skinless face, but then a gentle voice could be heard:

“...Momonga-sama has kindly given you medicine, but to think that you would refuse to accept

it… Insignificant beings… You should be kil ed for your insolence.”

Albedo naturally raised her axe, intending to behead the two of them.

After facing danger to save them, just to receive this kind of treatment... Momonga could

understand Albedo’s feelings, but if she kil ed kil ed these two children it would defeat the

purpose of saving them.

“Wa-, wait, stop being reckless. There are priorities in this situation, put down your weapon.”

“.... Yes, Momonga-sama.”

Albedo warmly replied, putting down her axe.

However Albedo was emitting intense killing intent, strong enough to make the two girls tremble

in fear, it also gave Momonga a bad feeling in his stomach.

In short, they should quickly leave this place.

If they continued to stay here, it is unknown how much unfortunate events will happen.

Momonga once again handed out the medicine:

“This drug is medicine, there is no danger. Quickly drink it.”

Momonga said with a strong and gentle tone. At the same time it also implied that if they didn’t

quickly drink it, they would be killed.

Hearing that, the older sister quickly took the potion and drank it. Then with a startled

expression:

“No way…”

Touching her back, not believing she tried to twist her body, and started to touch and pat her

back.

“It doesn’t hurt anymore right?”

“Ye-, yes.”

The older sister nodded in shock.

It seems like the wound on her body was minor, just by using a low level drug would be enough.

Seeing that he was approved of, Momonga wanted to ask a question. This was a question that

was impossible to avoid, it could potentially affect future actions.

“Do you know about magic?”

“Ye-, yes. Occasionally the pharmacist will come to our vil age… Our friends are also able to

use magic.”

“... So its like that, then this would make things easier to explain. I am a Magic Chanter.”

Momonga began to chant magic:

「Anti-Life Cocoon」

「Wall of Arrow Protection」

With the sisters as the center, a three meter high protective light covered them. The second

spell was invisible to the naked eye, but the flow of air around them changed. Usually it was

enough to just re-cast the first magic to ensure it was foolproof, but since there was no knowing

what kind of spells were available in this world, this had to suffice. If the enemy had a magician

within their ranks, then it would just be bad luck for these girls.

“I have surrounded you with protective spells that wil protect you from most monsters, and a

spell that will weaken ranged attacks. All you have to do is to stay here and you should be

safe——just in case, I’l hand you these items.”

The sisters were shocked at the description of the magic, Momonga then threw two plain horns

at them. The horns were not stopped by the magic and fell through the Wall of Arrow Protection

to land next to the sister’ side.

“That item is called the ‘Horn of the Goblin General’, you just need to blow into the horn and

Goblins——small monsters will appear in front of you. You can order them to protect

yourselves.”

In YGGDRASIL, other than consumables, some items were able to be converted into data

crystals, making it possible to add their effect to other items. Still, there were certain items that couldn’t be converted and this horn was one of those low level items.

With this horn, Momonga was able to summon twelve weak Goblins, two Goblin Archers, one

Goblin Mage, one Goblin Priest, two Goblin Wolf Riders and one Goblin Leader.

Namorax: Raw said “2 Goblin Cavalry, 2 goblin wolves, etc...” I combined them into “2 Goblin Wolf Riders” since anything else wouldn’t really make sense, from a grammar and/or a gameplay perspective.

Also known as the Goblin army, it was a small force and pretty weak.

For Momonga, this was a trash item and it was strange he didn’t threw it away yet. Being able to

find a proper use for this item right now, Momonga felt really clever.
