Aura. Mare.
This is where we part ways.
After we separate, begin scouting the area for enemies.
Yes.
But if the number of enemies outnumber you, retreat back to Nazarick immediately.
I understand.
Listen, make sure to retreat.
That's also an important part of my plans.
Also, the Depiction of Nature and Society and Avarice and Selfless are world items treasured by Nazarick.
They must never be taken from us.
Depending on the situation, they are more important than your lives.
Yes!
Well. I used magic to confirm it, but the owner of the world item that's controlling Shalltear isn't here.
What's going on?
Where does the answer lead? Seek it out!

I've returned.
So? May I ask what is going on?
All the words I exchanged with Lord Ainz has been communicated to everyone in the Message I sent.
Why did you let Lord Ainz go alone?
Lord Ainz made the decision.
And we must obey...
Why did you allow such a thing?!
If it's a trap, we could have just sent our minions in as a decoy.
We could overtake any enemies lying in wait if all the guardians fought.
I believe that Lord Ainz was lying.
I cannot begin to guess his profound reasons, but l am sure you noticed it, too!
Yes, it is as you say.
Then, why did you let Lord Ainz go?!
When Lord Ainz went to E-Rantel, you objected his refusal of a guardian so vehemently!
Why did you concede to his wishes this time?!
Lord Ainz said he wanted to defeat Shalltear himself.
What?!
I promise you.
I will defeat Shalltear and return to this place.
I felt true determination from him.
As a woman...
It may have been irreverent of me, but when the man I love is that determined to fulfill his will
I just couldn't continue arguing with him.
And, Lord Ainz promised me that he would return to this place.
So you based your decision not on logic, but emotion.
Lord Ainz is the last supreme being that stayed behind!
It is our role to eliminate any danger that may befall him.
Even if he rebukes us afterwards or claims our life, we must take action!
Where are you going?
It's obvious.
I will have my subordinates...
I see.
So this is why you ordered me here immediately after my return, Albedo!
That's right.
How foolish!
If Lord Ainz perishes, how will you take responsibility?!
Lord Ainz is the last master we can pledge our loyalty to!
Lord Ainz will return.
How can you be so sure?!
Believe in your master.
That is also one of our roles as their creation.
If...
If something happens to Lord Ainz, I will have you step down from your position as supervisor!
Step down from a position she was placed in by the supreme beings?
Demiurge.
That is blasphemy!
Fine.
So, Cocytus.
What do you believe are the odds of Lord Ainz being victorious?
Three to seven.
Three being in Lord Ainz's favor.
What?!
I see.
Then let's watch attentively as Lord Ainz beats the odds and wins victoriously.
Shit!
I wanted to spread the name of Ainz Ooal Gown to search for my allies.
I planned to do whatever it took.
However, I moved quietly so I could avoid unnecessary fighting.
So how did it come to this?
I don't know who did this, but I'll be sure to destroy them.
I'll make sure they deeply regret their own folly.
Don't think that things will end like this after starting a fight with Ainz Ooal Gown!
I'm so stupid.
I know there are better ways of handling this.
Aura and Mare seem to be convinced, but I'm sure Albedo saw through my lie.
Even so...
Don't you think this is a huge gamble as well, Shalltear?
I don't even know if we can resurrect like we do in Yggdrasil, but I'm going to start a battle with our lives on the line.
Even so...
I will kill Shalltear!
I don't want to see you guys killing each other.
And...
I am Ainz Ooal Gown!
And this name cannot ever know defeat!
Body of Effulgent Beryl!
As I thought.
Unless I unleash an actual attack, you won't go into to battle mode.
Just like in games!
Then, Shalltear.
Sorry, but I'll have you wait a bit before we engage.
Fly.
Bless of Magic Caster.
Infinity Wall.
Magic Ward, Holy.
Life Essence.
Greater Full Potential.
Freedom.
False Data, Life.
See Through.
Paranormal Intuition.
Greater Resistance.
Mantle of Chaos.
Indomitability.
Sensor Boost.
Greater Luck.
Magic Boost.
Draconic Power.
Greater Hardening.
Heavenly Aura.
Absorption.
Penetrate Up.
Greater Magic Shield.
Mana Essence.
Triplet Maximize Magic, Explode Mine.
Triplet Magic, Greater Magic Seal.
Triplet Maximize Boosted Magic, Magic Arrow.
Now, let's begin!
What's that?
I-It's probably super tier magic.
That's a spell that surpasses tenth tier magic, right?
He's going to use Super tier magic from the beginning?
It should be closer to a skill than a magic spell.
To use a super tier spell that does not use MP, but cannot be cast again first is a bold tactic.
Perhaps he wants to bring down Shalltear's HP as quickly as possible.
Still no enemies.
Or are they still watching?
This should be a good chance to attack...
Goodness, I really have no idea what's going on.
Big brother Momonga!
I'm setting the time!
Bukubuku Chagama-san...
I wonder why I can't mute the voice on this watch.
I will borrow some strength from all of you.
Well, let's go.
Super Tier Magic, Fallen Down!
Lord Ainz!
That really hurt!
It wasn't much of a present, but did you like it, Shalltear?
Wonderful!
I have to kill such a powerful man as Lord Ainz!
Hey, why do you still address me as "Lord"?
That is obvious.
A supreme being such as yourself can only be addressed as Lord Ainz.
Who is your master now?
My master...
Why am I fighting you, Lord Ainz?
No, that's not it.
Because I was attacked?
I must use all my strength to counter and destroy if I am attacked?
Why?
I don't really understand, but now that I've been attacked, I must destroy you, Lord Ainz.
I see. I understand.
Your current state, that is.
Oh, my.
What is the matter, Lord Ainz?
Will you be able to beat me like that?
Ainz Ooal Gown does not know defeat.
Shalltear, you will bow down before me!
How terrifying!
Watch out.
Sorry, Shalltear.
Triplet Maximize Magic, Explode Mine is cast there.
Maximize Magic, Gravity Maelstrom!
Wall of Stone!
Maximize Magic, Hold of Rib!
Shalltear, I forgot to mention this.
I prepared various traps in the area.
Why don't you just flap your wings over to me?
Lord Ainz, I will not be provoked so easily.
You've trapped the air as well, haven't you?
Was it that obvious?
Yes, quite obvious.
Of course I didn't.
That was the only mine spell I casted.
I don't have enough MP to cast spells that may not give results.
I wonder how much I'll be able to damage her before I run out of MP.
As expected of Lord Ainz.
Attacking straight on will not let me close our distance.
However, as a magic caster, Lord Ainz's strength only exists with MP.
If I can extinguish his MP, he won't stand a chance against me, who can fight on HP alone.
This Spuit Lance heals my wounds in response to the amount of damage I deal the enemy.
Because of that, Lord Ainz cannot summon a creature to fight on the frontlines.
He knows that weak monsters will only feed the Spuit Lance.
Oh, poor Lord Ainz.
He has to fight me all alone!
However...
Mana Essence!
He has so much MP.
How did he obtain such power?
However, since Lord Ainz specializes in necromancy he cannot become an unbeatable force for me.
It bothers me that he isn't wearing his normal god level items, but a staring match will get us nowhere.
First, I should heal to prepare for an extended battle.
Regenerate!
I won't allow you time to recover!
Maximize Magic, Gravity Maelstrom!
Greater Teleportation!
Delay Teleportation?!
Drifting Master Mine!
Not good enough!
Maximize Magic, Astral Smite!
Maximize Magic, Thousand Bone Lance!
Greater Teleportation!
I won't let you escape!
Negative Impact Shield!
What?!
Lord Ainz, did you know I had a skill like this?
Oh? I've never seen it before.
I wonder how long you can play tough, Lord Ainz.
This is called Purifying Javelin.
A skill that summons an object.
As expected of a holy element weapon for use against magic users!
Looks like this is really effective against you!
Don't underestimate me!
Maximize Magic, Reality Slash!
That's not normal recovery magic.
What did you do?!
Don't be so surprised, Lord Ainz.
This is another skill.
Please do not think I'm cheating.
Lord Peroroncino gave me this power.
Perhaps this is proof that he is superior to you?
It sounds like you really feel that way on the inside.
Let's do this, Shalltear.
No matter what skills you have, know my magic is superior!
A shoot-out, Lord Ainz?
If so, I won't lose.
Though there are limits to how many times I can use these skills!
Maximize Magic, Reality Slash!
Purifying Javelin!
You must have used a lot of your MP, Lord Ainz.
Though I've pretty much used up my skills, I still have MP.
How about this?!
Maximize Magic, Vermillion Nova!
Triplet Maximize Magic, Call Greater Thunder!
Fire based attacks don't work?
Lord Ainz, it looks like you have taken measures against fire.
Compensating for your weaknesses is part of the basics.
But, it should be impossible to prepare countermeasures for all elemental weaknesses completely.
Then, I should stick with the element he is most weak against.
Maximize Magic, Brilliant Radiance!
Maximize Magic, True Dark!
That's your weakness, Lord Ainz!
Cocytus! What is the meaning of this?!
For the undead Lord Ainz, the holy element is a deadly weakness.
Since his equipment focuses on fire protection, it is impossible for him to guard himself completely against it.
I used holy magic one after another, but Lord Ainz still far surpasses me in a battle of magic.
Though it looks like I was able to lower his MP quite a bit.
Body of Effulgent Beryl!
Defense magic?
But, that's a good idea.
I'll be physically attacking from here on out!
This is such a disadvantageous fight for me.
Huh? Lord Ainz?
Then, why do you not retreat?
Well, that's true.
It's just...
I'm very selfish, Shalltear.
I don't want to run away.
Perhaps no one would understand, but right now I feel fulfilled as guild leader.
I wonder why?
I...
Though I held the position of guild leader, I mainly dealt with business and regulations.
But right now, I am fighting on the frontlines for my guild.
It may just be self-satisfaction.
Do they not label such things as the pride of man?
You may be right.
Well, I dampened the mood with boring chatter.
Let us continue.
Summon Household!
Sharks Cyclone!
Body of Effulgent Beryl, Activate!
Wall of Skeleton!
Maximize Magic, Force Explosion!
Greater Magic Seal, Release!
Magic Destruction!
Fly!
She recovered!
Triplet Maximize Magic, Reality Slash!
Negative Impact Shield!
It's come. It's finally come.
Shalltear's final trump card...
Einherjar!
Summon Household.
These numbers are a bit of a problem.
I'll take care of all of them at once with range magic, but how should I deal with Einherjar...
Wait. Huh?!
That's dirty!
Even if friendly fire is allowed, I can't believe she used her own summoned household to heal!
Skill, The Goal of All Life is Death!
Widen Magic!
Cry of the Banshee!
This is the end.
Don't you gimme your love 'n passion!
Believe in love, even though there're borders and disturbance and more
How was the experience of death for the undead, Shalltear?
I'm the only one who loves you
Because I'm crazy about you
Let's ride to hell, tsuijuu shite Go!
Let's ride to hell – I'll serve you as we go!
As expected of Lord Ainz.
issho nara mushiro shinitai janai?
If we're together, I might not mind dying right here and now!
Beyond the line, hate nanka nai
Beyond the line, but there's no end
All of my household has been killed.
I swear, I'm gonna be so fucking grateful!
Though I was saved by the resurrection item Lord Peroroncino gave me.
Blessing word, anata wa shikou
Blessing word! You are supreme!
meirei ni Your highness chuujitsu ni Follow
To your commands, I say, “Your highness”, as I faithfully follow.
You give orders, watashi wa shinai
You give orders, but I won't pass them off to anyone;
naniyori toutoi mono yo
You're more precious than anything to me!
However, your MP should now be running on empty.
I don't know why my love is crying
gyouchaku shitai kajou na kurai
I wanna stick to you, to an excessive degree...
And on the other hand, my HP is completely full.
towa ni naritai, Don't wanna cry
I wanna become eternal, don't wanna cry!
shitto mousou kuruisou yo
Jealous delusions – I feel like I'm going mad!
You're right.
You were amazing.
Don't you give me your love and passion?
Like you, Lord Ainz, I have almost no MP left and I have used up most of my skills.
ai towa boudoushoudou Let go
Love is a rebellious impulse, so let go!
kokoro ijou ni honnou heart made More youkyuu shitai
I wanna demand more than your soul – down to your instinctual heart!
I don't want to live in a world without you
You did well to get this far.
anata igai no kono mirai o Kill it, kill it
Or any future other than yours, so I'll kill it, kill it
I'll accept that honest praise of yours.
I would be happy to kill it for my love
So, do you have any last words?
Well, that I'm at a disadvantage and that I'm weak without my MP...
I'm imaging now, if you're mine,
It's like a paradise and haven and more
I'm grateful you thought that way and fought me without holding anything back, Shalltear.
You're the only man who I love
In my life and destiny and all
Don't you give me your love and passion?
If you had fought cautiously, I wouldn't have been able to execute everything this well.
I know the border. It should be wrecked, go
Next Episode
As Shalltear realizes, I'm out of MP.
Sure of her victory, her grin grows wider.
With a deep gratitude for her, I make everything clear.
I'll show you the true power of the great Ainz Ooal Gown,
supreme leader of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
