Overlord (book 1)

However, his subordinates couldn’t do the same, so they tried other methods.

“Woo, wooahh───!”

“How could this happen!”

“Monster!”

Finding the Angels useless, his subordinates screamed and began to cast the spells they were

confident in.

「Confuse Human」, 「Hammer of Justice」, 「Bind」, 「Rain of Fire」, 「Jade Coffin」,

「Sacred beam」, 「Blast」, 「Stalagmite Assault」, 「Open Wounds」, 「Poison」,

「Fear」, 「Curse」, 「Blind」...

All kinds of magics hit Ainz.

Withstanding this storm of magic, Ainz still had a calm expression.

“These are all very familiar spel s... Who taught them to you? Some people from the Silian

Theocracy? Or someone else? Seems like there are more and more things that I have to find

out.”

Not only could he kill an Angel with a single blow, he was also immune to magic.

Nigan felt like he was trapped in a nightmare world.

“Yi i ─────!”

Because none of the magics had any effect, one of his men shrieked strangely and took out an

iron bal for a catapult. Nigan thought that if an Angel’s sword was unable to cause harm, what

use would an iron bal be? But he stil didn’t stop his subordinate’s actions.

An iron ball capable of easily crushing human bones flew accurately towards Ainz.

The sound of an explosion could be heard.

Instantly.

It really happened in a instantly.

When someone is fighting, one cannot let his eyes stray from the target. But Albedo, who ought

to have been standing behind Ainz, suddenly appeared in front of him. The place where she

stood at from before swelled because of a strong kick, that was the reason for the sound.

Albedo, with speed that was nearly impossible to see, raised the long axe held in her hand.

Drawing a beautiful faded green trail in the air.

Following that, the men carrying the iron ball fell to the ground.

“... What?”

No one knew what had happened before their eyes. They should be the one attacking, but they

as the attackers are getting beat down.

One of the men began running to check on his comrades and finding them dead, he shouted:

“Hi-, his head was smashed by the iron ball!”

“... What? The iron bal … wasn’t that the iron bal that was just flying there!?”

Why were they being killed by the iron ball that they just launched?

At this point, the wind carried a voice into Nigan’s ear.

“Terribly sorry, it looks like my subordinate had used the two spells, Anti-missile Shield and

Reflect Missile to send it back. It seems that you have casted barriers that resist projectiles, but an attack that is stronger than the defenses will still break through right? No need to be so

surprised.

Ignoring Nigan after explaining what happened, Ainz then turned towards Albedo:

“However, Albedo, you should know that those kinds of ranged weaponry would not be able to

hurt me. There was no need——”

“——Please wait, Ainz-sama. If they want to challenge the supreme overlord to a fight, they

need to reach some standard in strength first. That iron bal attack... was too rude!”

“Haha, that is like saying that Nigan and his men have no qualifications, am I right?”

“Wuu! Heh! Principality of Observation! Come!”

Hearing Nigan’s orders, the Angels who were lightly flapping their wings began to move.

Principality of Observation were Angels who wore a full body of armor. In one hand they held a

huge warhammer, the other held a round shield. A long robe covering up their legs.

Angels who were stronger than the Archangels, the reason why they were not used till today

was because of their special ability. The Principality of Observation, just as their name implies,

enhance the defensive capabilities of all allied forces within their line of sight. They would lose

that ability if they weren’t stil , so making the Principality of Observation stay back was a wise

move.

The fact that the order to move out was given, showed that Nigan was at his wit’s end. As long

as there was a chance of survival, even if it was just a blade of grass, he would grasp onto it.

“Stand down, Albedo.”

The Angels who had accepted the command appeared in front of Ainz in the length of a breath,

and raised their shining warhammers. Ainz impatiently stretched out his gauntlet gloved left

hand to engage.

Although it was a strike that would normally break his bones, but Ainz’s hands were safe, he just

calmly withstood the multiple attacks of the Angels.

“Oya, oya… Looks like its my turn to attack. Hellfire.

From the finger of Ainz’s stretched out right hand, a small flame appear, looking like at any

moment it would be blown out, it attached itself to a nearby Principality of Observation. On the

body of the shining Angel, that flame was so small that it was a joke.

But——

The Principality of Observation’s body was instantly engulfed in black flame, a flame so strong

that even Nigan who was so far away could feel the heat, so much so that his eyes were unable

to open.

Within the imposing black flame, the Angel’s body melted away with no resistance. The black

flame faded away after consuming its target.

There wasn’t a trace left on the scene. The previous scene——the attacking Angel the burning
