Overlord (book 1)

far… Who are…”

“... I already said, I am Ainz Ooal Gown. Other than this name, I am still not something well-

known. Let us skip the small talk, continuing to say anything more would be a waste of time.

Also, in order to not waste your efforts, I have to tell you some things, I have already stopped

the ability to use teleportation magic here. In addition my subordinates nearby are waiting in

ambush, so you have no means of escape.”

The sun had completely set, and the surroundings were slowly being engulfed in darkness.

Nigan knew it was over, this was absolutely true. Just as all his men felt demoralised, a hole

appeared from out of nowhere, like a clay pot. But it quickly disappeared, returning to the

original scene.

While Nigan was confused, Ainz answered:

“Oya oya... You guys better thank me. Looks like there is someone who has been using

Intelligence Magic to monitor you, but because I am also within range of effect, so I was also

able to resist the spell by being using an Anti-Information Magic Wall, so I won’t be subject to

surveillance… Ahh, if I had known this would happen, I would have prepared some more high

level counter spel s.”

That speech made Nigan understand why.

The Silian Theocracy must definitely be monitoring him.

“With some strengthening, I could influence a huge area with 『Burst』 and maybe let that

peeper learn a lesson… With that, the game is now over.”

Understanding the meaning of those words, Nigan felt a chill up his spine.

They were usually in the other position, but now they were the victims.

He was afraid. Afraid that of all the lives that he had taken on his own, now his life was able to

be taken. His subordinates saw the fear in his eyes, truly making them upset.

They were on the brink of crying.

He wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy, but Ainz did not look like a person that was that

compassionate. So Nigan held back his tears and tried desperately to find a lifeline. But no

matter how much he thought, he could not think of any foreign aid. The only way he could think

of was to appeal to Ainz’s compassion.

“Wa-, wait a moment! Lord Ainz Ooal Gown… No, Master! Please wait a moment, We… No, I

want to make a deal with you! It will definitely be no loss to you! As long as you can spare my

life, I wil prepare any amount of gold you want!”

Throughout his field of vision, he could spot some of his subordinates showing expressions of

surprise, but they weren’t significant to him anymore. At the moment the most important thing

was one’s own life, everything else is insignificant.

Also, he could always replace his troops, but he himself would be irreplaceable.

Ignoring the countless sounds of complaint, Nigan continued:

“To satisfy a great Magic Chanter like yourself, would surely be difficult, but I wil definitely

prepare you a satisfactory amount of gold! I have a strong position in my country, the state will

be willing to spare no cost in saving me! Of course, if you have any other demands, I would

gladly oblige! I beg of you! Please have mercy!”

With those words Nigan began panting.

“S-, so how is it? Master Ainz Ooal Gown!”

Towards Nigan’s pleading face, the gentle voice of Albedo replied:

“Did you not previously refuse Supreme Ainz-sama’s compassionate deal before?”

“That was!”

“... I understand what you want to say. Because even if you had accepted the offer, it would

have ended with a dead end, so you wanted to beg for mercy is it?”

The black helmet slowly shook her head, as if she couldn’t take it anymore:

“I see you are confused about the situation. As Ainz-sama, the one who holds the power in

Nazarick, has already said, humans, you lower lifeforms should bow your head down and be

thankful, waiting for death.”

Albedo said with an unyielding tone, flatly said so.

Crazy. This woman is completely insane. Realising this, Nigan look at Ainz with a glimmer of

hope.

Quietly listening to this conversation, Ainz knew that they were waiting for his decision, he

shook his head and said:

“It… is so. Do not unnecessarily struggle, obediently lay down and await death. This way I can

send you off without any pain.”

Walking on the grass plain after night had fallen, the beautiful stars were visible when you

looked up.

Ainz was in awe after seeing this scene a second time and walked silently to the village.

He went a bit overboard.

With Albedo by his side, Ainz can’t act too weakly. A master has to look the part before his

underlings. Even though this time he went a bit overboard, but he still did his best playing the

role of a master.

He didn’t know whether he made the grade, but it’s fine if he didn’t let Albedo down.
