So then, which one of you is my foe?
Raven Black Hero! I am Evileye, of the Blue Rose!
As a fellow adamantite class adventurer, I request that we party up!
Wait, what's the point of asking for his help?
I can't very well let his life be taken, too.
Understood.
May I begin by asking your name, please?
My name is Jaldabaoth.
Jaldabaoth? Well, all right. I am Momon,
adamantite class adventurer.
What is your purpose here?
It seems that a mighty item that can summon us and make us do its bidding
has found its way into this city.
I am here for the purpose of recovering it.
He's trying to get information out of him through this interchange, is he?
He's a first-rate adventurer, all right.
Demiur—
Ahem, Jaldabaoth, is there no other way but for us to oppose each other?
No, there is not.
I realize that fairly well. In that event,
I will have to defeat you, right here.
You have no issue with that, do you?!
I am afraid I can't have that, so I will have to resist.
Here goes!
Amazing... What is that?
Is that...?
But my heart stopped beating a long time ago...
Hang in there, Lord Momon.

Miss Tuare, come, this way.
Are you all right?
Very well, let's get out of here while Lord Sebas has the enemy drawn away.
Is something the matter, Lord Brain?
Hmm? Oh, no.
Let's go.
Zero?!
That's right, kid.
I remember seeing your face before.
You're Brain Unglaus, right?
Which means that Succulent was beaten because he was outmatched.
In recognition of your extraordinary talent with the sword,
let me offer you a chance.
Kneel before me,
and swear that you will become my subordinate.
Do so, and I'll let you live.
Then you can die!
Zero, I'll be the one to take you on.
Climb, I'll let you handle the enemy to the rear.
You've got it.
Figured it out, did you?
The way you slipped around behind me like you did,
anyone could have smelled a rat.
Although, I had my doubts ever since I saw you in the cell.
Hmph, so it was all a cheap trick, eh?
Succulent, kill those two small-timers behind you.
You can at least do that, right?
O-Of course I can, Boss!
We meet again, huh,
kid?
Hey, now. I hear that top-notch monks' fists can become as hard as iron,
but this is beyond even that.
I'll back you up!
This is the way a thief fights!
Poison?!
Powder of Will o' Wisp.
Thank you very much!
Damn it!
Martial Art! Ability Release!
Hmph! Damn it, Succulent!
On the other hand, Unglaus,
you have done quite well.
You may be the first man to ever withstand my attacks for as long as this.
As are you.
Then what if we were to start fighting like we mean it just a bit?
That sounds good to me.
That thing you're doing is a sword barrier, right?
If I am careless enough to step too close, I'll be cut in half, won't I?
However, I can tell that you can only do that technique
by standing still, on the defensive.
Brain Unglaus, is that your ace in the hole?
That it is.
A slashing attack that uses both Field, which never misses,
and my speed-of-god blade attack, God Flash.
Blade Technique, Whistling Wind!
I'm going to punch right through that technique and hit you.
I am the strongest in the kingdom!
So this is where you are.
Wha—?! What is going on?
The other Six Arms were supposed to be dealing with you!
I have defeated all of your colleagues.
There's no way you could have gone up against them and come this far unharmed!
The truth is often taken to be a surprising thing.
Lord Sebas, the Tuare that was in the basement was a fake!
We have to hurry and go save her!
Thank you very much for your concern.
However, it is all right.
Tuare, please wait here for a moment.
Right.
Brain Unglaus, my fight with you is on hold for now.
I'm going to show this old geezer the power of Six Arms.
Geezer! You will pay for these shenanigans with your life!
Panther!
Falcon!
Rhinoceros!
Buffalo!
Lion!
Wh-What are you...?
Whew, that was a close call.
It would seem that I was just the slightest bit stronger, though.
Aspect of the Devil: Tentacle Wings!
Thank goodness you weren't hurt.
Y-Yeah...
Ah, your shoulder! Are you all right?!
Something this minor is no problem at all.
Never mind me, I'm just relieved that you're all right.
Bravo. Imagine, being able to keep her from any harm.
I, Jaldabaoth, would like to sincerely offer you my praise.
I don't need your flattery.
Wah! L-Lord Momon?!
Forgive me, bards of the world!
Knights do fight while defending their delicate maidens in their arms!
This feels more like being baggage than a princess...
No, no, this is no time to be thinking anything so silly!
Well, I think it's time I be on my way.
Our objective is an item.
I will now encircle a section of the capital city in the flames of hell.
If you make your way inside, I promise you,
purgatorial flames will send you into the afterlife!
Th-This is bad, Lord Momon! We have to get him, quickly!
We can't. If we go after him, he will start fighting like he really means it.
If that happens...
Ah! Lord Momon, you're protecting me...
Okay then, what am I going to do now?
So then, we drove the insect maid right down to the ground.
You drove her?
And did you kill her?
No, we didn't kill her.
Jaldabaoth showed up before we could.
Is that right?
I see, I see—
Ahem! So um, couldn't it be that Jaldabaoth got serious with you
because you were about to kill the insect maid?
We tugged on the tiger's tail when we shouldn't have.
That's what you're trying to say, right?
Jaldabaoth did say one thing...
He was going to envelop part of the capital in hellfire.
There's no way a maid that was in his service is on the up-and-up.
I believe my friends were right to challenge her to battle.
Er, yes... you're right.
What you're saying is correct.
Pardon me.
Ah, please, lift up your head!
A man as handsome as you are shouldn't be...
Handsome?! What am I saying?! Ah, but I can't help it, can I?
It's okay for me to have girlish thoughts
for the first time in hundreds of years, isn't it? When he's this strong?
Yes! He's a handsome warrior who's even stronger than I am!
Miss Evileye?
Y-Yes, um...
I need to discuss something with Nabe.
Excuse me a moment.
Huh?
She won't be able to hear us here.
Nonetheless, we should still be cautious.
Now then, Nabe...
I can pretty well guess what Demiurge's plan is, in large part.
However, the more precise a machine is,
the easier it is to make it all come apart
by throwing a monkey wrench in the gears.
We must prevent the slightest misunderstanding
from knocking everything back to square one.
Do you know what I mean?
Indeed. I would expect no less from the Supreme One.
I have everything well in hand.
Like hell I do.
I was called out here in the first place by a request from some grand nobleman named Marquis Raeven.
We had to ride on a Floating Board, and were carried along like luggage.
But, since the reward was exceptional, that was fine.
And, because of the disturbance here, I thought,
"This is the adventurer Momon's first big fight in the capital city,
so I have to make a cool entrance", and jumped down from there.
Ugh, how did things turn out this way?
Now, I want you to get in touch with Demiurge.
The reason I don't do it myself is that I can't use magic right now.
Also, I have that girl's eyes on me.
Hmph, she's watching.
She must have her doubts about me.
You cannot mean it. That is not the case, I daresay.
If I were to guess, could it not be due to some other emotion?
Precisely why I do mean it. I can read her thoughts like the back of my hand.
Becoming upset when she spoke of Entoma was a critical mistake.
I should have expected as much, Lord Ainz.
Truly, your vision befits one who sits upon the throne.
Enough with the flattery.
It's an obvious consideration that arose from my own slip-up.
Now, let's get the ball rolling, Narberal.
Yes, my lord.
Message.
That should keep my reputation as the leader from falling apart.
Now then...
You know, it's hard to believe that a little child like that
possesses adamantite class strength.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Would you like me to help you carry them?
My friends should be along shortly.
It's possible that we will be able to cast resurrection magic right here.
Ho, you have someone that can use resurrection magic?
Oh, uh, yes. Our team leader, Lakyus, can invoke Raise Dead,
which is a fifth-tier spell.
Will they be able to engage in combat right after they return to life?
I'm afraid not.
This magic costs a huge amount of life force at the time of resurrection.
Ho-ho...
As such, they won't be able to physically move about very well for a while.
So much so that when it's cast on those with lower life forces,
they will be reduced to ashes, so it can't be used.
I see. If you wouldn't mind, could we wait here with you?
I would like to meet this woman, Lakyus.
Wh-Why do you want to meet Lakyus?!
Sure enough, she's acting wary.
Well, um, I would like to meet the leader of the Blue Rose,
a fellow adventurer, and my senior in experience.
Is there some reason why I should not?
N-No! No, there's no problem!
Mr. Momon...
...please look over there.
hametsu sae itowanaide
Don't hesitate to face destruction
nee, mada kono te ni nokoru kakera datte
You know, even the pieces remaining within these hands
What will you do after this, Lord Sebas?
I will take Tuare to a safe location,
anata no mono
Belong to you
to make sure that nothing like this ever happens again.
Very well. Lord Sebas, thank you for what you've done these last two nights.
nanimokamo nakushitemo
Even if I lose everything
Please do not let it concern you.
Someday, I will repay the debt I owe you for helping to save her.
sasageru mono ga aru no
I have something to offer
mirai datte inochi de sae
My future, my life...
yaketsukita kanjou mo fumou na inori mo
My burnt-out emotions, my fruitless prayers,
A wall of flame?
sugaru buzama mo mitsugu oroka mo
The ugliness I cling to, the foolishness I provide
yanda koe mo kegareta ryoute mo
My ailed voice, my stained hands,
kizu de sakareta kokoro mo
And my heart, held open by the scars
What is that?
I have been wishing for nothing but your happiness, over and over
The flames of Gehenna?
nanimo kono te ni nakutemo
Even if there's nothing in these hands
My good adventurers,
thank you for coming together in this time of crisis.
jikan ga mada aru no nara
If there's still time,
Early this morning, a wall of flame sprang up around this area of the capital.
nandomo kurikaesou
I'll do it all over, again and again
These flames are similar to an illusion,
and coming into contact with them seems to do no harm.
muimi datte muda datte ii
I don't care if it's meaningless or futile
The leader of Blue Rose has in fact confirmed this.
I actually touched it.
I didn't feel the least bit of heat,
tsumiageta hibi ga muzan ni chittemo
Even if the days I've built up scatter mercilessly
and went inside without any interference at all.
I also confirmed that there are low-level demons on the other side of the wall.
omoi ga noroi ni kawatta to shitemo
Even if my feelings become a curse
The ringleader behind this incident is named Jaldabaoth.
mukui mo naku torou ni owattemo ii
I don't care if it all ends in vain, without any reward
We have information that he is an extremely fiendish and powerful demon,
who has many other evil entities serving him.
mou anata shika mienai
I can't see anything but you anymore
Just how strong is he?
Two of my comrades, the warrior Gagaran and the thief Tia,
were killed by him.
And it only took him one blow, at that.
What?!
One blow?!
Don't lose your heads!
Jaldabaoth is strong, to be sure.
As someone who actually confronted him,
and was powerless to stop him, I can assure you of that.
However, we have this man on our side!
The Raven Black Hero, Master Momon!
kuraku kagetta kono michi no saki de wa
In the dark clouds beyond this path,
Yes. We are absolutely not going into a fight that we cannot win.
donna hikari mo yagate tsuieru deshou
I'm sure any light would eventually perish
Now, allow me to present our detailed plan of attack...
unmei ga sou nara......
If that's fate......
kibou matsu you ni ikiru yori
Instead of living as if I'm waiting for hope,
Lastly, we will need a detached force to rescue the civilians who are trapped inside the wall of flame.
tsukushi kiru no ima wo
I'll give my everything in this moment
If the demons are holding them captive,
they will likely use one of the warehouse districts inside the wall.
yaketsukita kanjou mo fumou na inori mo
My burnt-out emotions, my fruitless prayers,
They'll split up families, to keep them from breaking out.
sugaru buzama mo mitsugu oroka mo
The ugliness I cling to, the foolishness I provide
nanimo kamo ga dou nattemo ii
I don't care what happens to any of it
Climb, you'll go, right?
As you wish. Even if it costs my life.
subete anata ni sasageyou
I'll offer my everything to you
Princess,
would it be okay if I went along, too?
Are you sure, Lord Brain Unglaus?
Well, count me in, too.
All right, everyone, I will remain here,
praying to God that every last one of you comes back.
Good hunting!
Leave it to us!
Long live the Golden Princess!
Nothing would make me happier than if I could be with you forever......
Climb...
I'll lend you this.
What is it?
A magic item?
Yeah. It's supposed to raise one's power as a warrior well past their limits.
Past their limits?
I-I can't accept such a precious item!
I myself got it from an old lady I know.
Bring it back to me alive.
We all have to come back, for the princess's sake.
Right!
Form a line using the adventurers,
and have the guardsmen back them up, to thin out the enemy's formation...
Then have the greatest force,
consisting of the raven-black Momon and Nabe, as well as Evileye,
acting as an arrowhead to break through the enemy's center.
But isn't Climb's mission a dangerous one?
He will be making rounds inside the capital,
together with your soldiers, won't he? It will be no different for him.
Climb may end up dead,
but if he does, Lakyus will cast her resurrection magic on him.
Then, when his life force is drawn out by the magic,
who will look after the weakened Climb?
Who could object to nursing back to health
someone who followed orders to his death, and then came back to life?
So that's it.
All according to plan, my sister?
Yes.
At the behest of the King, the humans band together to pierce the blazing wall of flames.
Next Episode
And face off against a hellish horde of demons.
Soldiers and adventurers alike lock shields against the onslaught.
Meanwhile, the elimination of Jaldabaoth is entrusted to the raven-black Momon, as well as Nabe and Evil Eye.
Momon raises his blade against Jaldabaoth, and with it brings humanity's hopes to the fore.
Chapter 13, The Ultimate Trump Card.
I hold all the cards.
