The Dark Warrior

witnessed the difference of power between them.

Ainz closed in onto the other ogres at an amazing speed, a speed that someone

wearing armor shouldn’t possess.

“Waarghh---!

The ogre let out a howl that was a cross between a wail and a shout, raising the

club in its hand to face Ainz who was attacking. But everyone knew that was too

slow.

Ainz swung the giant sword in his left hand horizontally after he got close.

The top half of the ogre spun in the air and landed at a different spot from its

lower half.

That was an horizontal slash, slicing the ogre in half with one strike.

“Momon-san… is he a monster…?”

Stunned once again by the scene before them, no one objected Darwin’s

speculation.

“... And so, the rest…”

Ainz took a step forward, the ugly faces of the ogres froze stiff and they backed

further away.

The goblins that made a large detour around Ainz’s defense line attacked Peter

and the others. The Sword of Darkness members who were watching the fight

reacted to the goblin’s attack and started to move.

Peter lifts up his broadsword and large shield, taking the dozen or so goblins

straight on. He stabbed with his sword and sent the head of the leading goblin

flying. Peter dodge the spray of blood and began a melee battle with the goblins.

“Take this!”

The goblins bared their yel ow teeth and gurgled weird sounds.

Peter deftly blocked the goblins’ clubs with his shield and used magically

reinforced armor to tank the attack from the other goblin, which landed on him

with a dull thud.

“Magic Arrow.”

The goblin that was attempting to attack Peter from behind was hit by 2 magic

arrows and fell silently to the ground.

Half the goblins surrounding Peter rushed at the other 3 party members, all of

them ignoring Narberal who was standing beside Ainz, the whirlwind of death.

Putting down the composite longbow, Lukeluther drew a shortsword from his

waist. Together with Darwin who was holding his mace, they ran in front of

Ninya’s line of fire with their back towards him.

Lukeluther and Darwin took on 5 goblins together and were well matched. They

took down one after the other, but it would take a lot of time from the current

situation. Lukeluther had a pained expression as he endured the pain of his arm

being hit by a club while stabbing his shortsword into the gap of a goblin’s

leather armor. Darwin took a few punches and his actions slowed, but didn’t

receive any critical wounds.

Ninya watched over the battle tensely, conserving his magic. Some of the ogres

were binded by spells, and Ninya might need to deal with them if the situation

changes.

Peter was evenly matched with the six goblins he was fighting, an intense battle.

They weren’t overwhelmed by the eleven goblins because of the goblins’

hesitation in their attacks. After witnessing Ainz’s incredible one hit kil , the

morale of the goblins plummet, unable to decide between fleeing or continue to

fight.

As if he intended to shatter the morale of the goblins, Ainz swung his giant

sword.

The sound of the wind being sliced was followed by a sound of a heavy thud.

Twice in a row.

As everyone expected, the body count of the ogre continued to rise. There were

only 2 ogres left stil clinging on to life, one was bound by grass, the other

trembling before Ainz.

Ainz’s helmet turned towards the last ogre facing him. The ogre seemed to feel

Ainz’s gaze from the thin slit of the helmet as it drop its club and ran for the

forest with a weird groan. Its speed was faster than its attack just now, but there

was no way it could escape.

“Nabel, do it.”

The cold command was issued, and Narberal standing by behind him nodded

slightly.

“Lightning.”

A lightning which violently shook the air burst forth, striking the escaping ogre

with the sound of thunder. It pierced through the ogre bound by grass behind it

too.

Easily finishing off the 2 ogres.

“Run away!”

“Run away, run away!”

The goblin who watched this scene in this despair screamed and attempt to

escape, but Peter was faster than them. The routed goblins were no threat.

The group disposed of the goblins one after another. Ninya who didn’t need to

conserve mana joined in the attacks too. The Goblins were turned into corpses,

none escaped.

With the intense smell of the corpse as background, Darwin healed Lukeluther

and Peter’s injury with ‘minor heal’. Ninya who was free took out a dagger to cut

off the goblins’ ears.

Turning in the ears wil earn them rewards for the corresponding monsters. Of

course, the parts were not always ears, and varies according to the monster. But

for demi-humans like ogre and goblins, it were mostly ears.

Ninya who was skil fully cutting off the ears saw Ainz and Narberal searching

around the ogre, and seemed to be looking for something.

“Is anything wrong?”

Hearing Ninya’s query, Ainz lifts his head and answered:

“Ah, I was thinking… maybe these monsters will drop items such as crystal.”

“... Crystals? I had never heard of ogres possessing jewelry like that.”

“That’s true. I was wondering if there would be rare items.”

“Indeed. It would be nice if the ogres have treasures.”
