Overlord (book 1)

With his whole body, he let out a huge shout.

With blood and saliva flowing out from his mouth, Gazef slowly stood up.

Feeling the awe-inspiring presence of a man who shouldn't even have enough strength left to

take a single step, the Angels could not help but fall back.

“Hu--—! Hu--—!”

The simple act of standing made it hard for him to breathe, his consciousness was fuzzy and his

whole body felt as if it was buried under a thick layer of mud. But he couldn’t rest, the moment

he did everything would be over.

Furthermore, even with this amount of pain, it could not be said that he would be able to

understand the pain of the villagers who died.

“I am the Knight-Captain of the Kingdom! For my beloved Kingdom, and to protect this

Kingdom’s people! How could I possibly lose to you scum who had tarnished this Kingdom’s

name───!”

This man will protect the villagers.

So the only thing he could do is to defeat the enemy in front of him to his utmost ability.

Wanting to protect the future of the people of the Kingdom. He only thought about this.

“...It’s because you keep on saying such nonsense, that you’l die in this place. Gazef Strolonoff.”

Gazef glared at the enemy commander, as he listened to his enemy’s ridiculing words.

“If you had just chosen to abandon the vil agers in the frontier, then it wouldn’t have ended like

this. It's impossible for you to be unaware that your life alone is worth more than the lives of a

thousand peasants. If you really loved your country, you would have abandoned these vil agers.”

“You and I…. wil never… see eye to eye!”

“What good can you do with your current body? Stop needlessly struggling and lie down like a

good boy. I shal have some pity on you and grant you a painless death.”

“If you real y… think that I can no longer act, then why don’t you… come over here and cut off

my head? With me looking like this… it should be real y easy right?”

“.... Well, looks like you’re all talk. If you stil want to fight, do you actual y believe you have any chance of winning?”

Gazef simply stared ahead, his trembling hand holding onto his sword. Hazily looking at the

enemy in front of him, not even caring about the restless Angels surrounding him.

“... What a waste of time. How foolish. Once I kil you, those surviving villagers will be up next.

Everything that you did up til now only served to prolong their suffering.”

“Heh, Heh…. Hehehe….”

Gazef had a smile across his face.

“...Whats so funny?”

“...Heh, you're the foolish one. In that vil age… there’s stil someone stronger than me. That man

is unfathomable, he’l be able to defeat all of you just by himself... thinking about kil ing… the

vil agers he’s protecting, is an impossible task….”

“... Stronger than you, the strongest warrior in the Kingdom of Re-Estize? Do you really think

you can trick me with something like that? How stupid.”

A smile floated onto Gazef’s face. What kind of face will this person make when he encounters

that unfathomable man, Ainz Ooal Gown? That would be the greatest reward Gazef could

receive in the afterlife.

“.... Angels, kil Gazef Strolonoff.”

With that cold command, countless wings began to move.

As Gazef ran forward with the determination to face death, a voice could be heard next to him.

—— Looks like its time to tag in.

The scenery in front of Gazef changed from blood soaked grasslands to the interior of a simple

house.

Around him were the figures of his men and the worried expressions of the villagers.

“Th-, this place is…”

“This is Ainz-sama’s Magically Protected Warehouse.”

“Vil age Chief...Ma-, Master Gown does not seem to be here…”

“No, he was here just moments ago, but he seems to have swapped places with Knight-

Captain-sama, disappearing in front of my eyes.”

So it was like that, the voice in my head just now was…

Gazef relaxed his body. What happens next would be out of his control. Gazef fell to the ground,

the villagers rushed towards him.

The Six Scriptures. An opponent the Kingdom’s strongest warrior was unable to defeat.

But in his mind, he did not believe Ainz would lose.

There wasn’t a single trace left of the battle that just happened on the grasslands.

The blood covering the grasslands was concealed by the afterglow of the setting sun and the

smell of blood in the air was also blown downwind by the strong winds.

On the grasslands stood two figures who weren’t there before.

Nigan, the Captain of the Silian Theocracy’s Special Intelligence Forces, the Sunlight Scripture,

stared at the two people in front of him in surprise..
