Final battle of Camelot still continued (215)

“Stop!” Ainz stepped forward as Artoria's spear glinted in her hands, interested in her words and remarks.

“Wait a second, what exactly did you want to say about saving humanity and your plan!?”

Ainz had been preparing for this confrontation for a long time, honing the best of his excuses, remembering the most appropriate phrases and copious visualization training. And yet, at the last step, where he was to confront the big bad and after one big battle solve the Singularit...

Momonga left the confines of the old church a couple of hours later, one small gym bag full of bills richer and poorer by several million nerve cells… At least if Momonga had still continued to be stressed in the same way as before, he probably would have lost most of his nerve cells, or maybe died in the church of a heart attack.

‘I haven't had time yet to see exactly what kind of God Raynare has begun to think I am, and everything has escalated from there. I'm not ready to declare...

So it is done: Where the line is drawn

Opening his eyes, Jonathan allowed himself a few moments of morning grogginess before forcibly bringing himself to full wakefulness. Today’s the eighteenth of May in the year one thousand seven hundred and forty-five, a Monday. And more importantly, tomorrow is Kali's birthday.

The secretary should have picked out a present for her by now.

Of course, Jonathan, the ruler of Glenn, couldn't afford to be distracted by something as mundane as picking out suitable birthday presents. ...

Final battle of Camelot continued yet again (214)

There was no wave of fear, horror, or darkness even as the wave of death seemed to swallow the world. On the contrary, the sky seemed to become even clearer, and all the small and pitiful details like darkness, light, horror, joy, simply gave way to an absolute void of sterile space. Such a sight gave a feeling of alien-ness as all living beings in the battlefield involuntarily shivered as a wave of power anathema to life touched them.

Lancelot readied his blade and turned his gaze side...

As both Katase and him walked the streets of Kuoh, with Katase leading the way to the church, Momonga looked at the girl with some confusion. ‘What's wrong? Why is she acting so strangely?’

After classes were over, Momonga found Katase waiting for him, luckily not with an ambush. As it turned out, he hadn't stepped into the trap of an unknown opponent meeting the girl, as Pandora’s Actor had informed him, Katase and Murayama together were both mere humans… Either that or they we...

So it is done: Tiresome kingship

Jonathan made his way from his office straight to exit, passing by the reception area. Passing by the receptionist, who had met his gaze, she smiled, instantly catching the invisible meaning of his actions. “Should I reschedule the remaining appointments for today to a later date?”

“Who exactly is left for today?” Jonathan's mind was preoccupied with a multitude of thoughts, even if he were at his best, there was no way for Jonathan to remember all the multitude of meetings and ...

Final battle of Camelot continued again (213)

Semiramis’ Hanging Gardens is a mighty Noble Phantasm. How could it be otherwise? A soaring, protected fortress with the ability to launch hundreds of magical projectiles against entire armies, each one easily capable of destroying a dozen targets at once. And if that wasn't enough? Semiramis could always use the main weapon of her Noble Phantasm, taking out not dozens of people at a time, but ready to bury the entire enemy army at once.

But even in the event that thi...

Katase followed close behind Satoru, after a dash to get her own lunch, glancing at the surrounding students. Whose eyes on Satoru changed from disinterested to intrigued as soon as they realized that not only was he not involved with the trio, but he was able to stop them from being perverts… For how long, remains to be seen.

Katase was not exactly innocent in the matter, but Satoru had definitely received a portion of undeserved and unpleasant looks in his direction, simply because ...

So it is done: Worth of a friend

From the perspective of the ordinary man, the relationship between Glenn and Menagerie could not be described as anything other than an alliance. With a deployed military contingent, an economic partnership, numerous cultural, scientific, and technical exchange programs, what else could it be?

Glenn and Menagerie existed in an alliance so close that it was easier to consider them a single state entity in two forms than two separate Kingdoms.

Menagerie’s youths went to Glenn's te...

Final battle of Camelot continued (212)

Sita's arrow sliced, whistling through the air, overcoming speeds that no nameless ancient inventors of the bow could have imagined possible in any frightening or fantastic dream. It flew the distance from Sita’s bow to its target in almost an instant.

Sita, or more accurately, her bow, her Noble Phantasm possessed outstanding destructive power, but when compared to the walls of Camelot, protected by the power of the Goddess, even this was entirely insufficient to shatter the city def...

Taking the first step out of the [Gate], Momonga was not knocked down a moment later, and did not fly into the back of an ambush of the Special Forces. Generally, nothing incredible to indicate that the Pandora Actor had somehow done something ill-advised while Momonga was distracted. "Umu, things seem to be looking up already. Hmm, it's amazing how your expectations lower, once you run into trouble a few times…”

Momonga moved himself into his room, Gorou's previous office, to be mo...

So it is done: Invisible movers

Many people were able to distinguish between ‘big’ and ‘small’ victories and defeats among themselves, and such things depend on the individual. But no one would even try to equate the death of their family with a lost quarter. But, the difference between ‘big’ and ‘small’ setbacks was more blurry for people.

For the moneyless vagabond, the loss of a single crust of bread could mean starvation, while for the richest tycoon the loss of tens of tons of produce was only a �...

Final battle of Camelot started (211)

In YGGDRASIL, all players possessed an internal clock – which was surprising to Ainz. The game company actually allowed something to be free, sure it’s a basic part of any online game UI, but it was surprising for the company to forgo a possible way to fool Players into losing their sense of time.

There’s a reason why there are no clocks inside Casinos.

Anyway, with the clock, at any moment, a Player could look at the corner of their field of view and determine the exact tim...

Putting Albedo aside and covering her with the blanket of his bed, Momonga paused for a second, as he looked at the sight of the sleeping girl. Her chest was heaving gently and her face filled with a smile that broke through even her sleep.

‘Well…’ Momonga stared silently at the girl, carefully trying to shift so as not to pinch Albedo's wing, watching them carefully as they moved if possessing a mind of their own, rising up, trying to walk black feathers over his arms. ‘That ha...

So it is done: Family by soul

Nora had no memory of her parents. It was perfectly normal, abandoned at an age when children are not yet ready to attend school, it was perfectly normal that Nora had no memory of her parents. No notes, no acquaintances, not even a memory.

The very first memory Nora remembered was… Probably the time she managed to steal a pancake that had fallen out of some woman’s breakfast plate.

It had fallen to the ground by accident, soiled by the dust, so the woman would probably not ha...

Chaldea and Staff: F?r$i)& (210)

Joan of Arc, the maiden saint of France, Heroic Spirit, and, more recently, Ruler class Servant of Ainz, after a while had settled herself in her life in Chaldea. Kneeling in front of her makeshift altar, she finished her day-prayers with a cross in front of the crucifix, Jean started on another in Chaldea.

Sadly, as it became apparent in her first week, there’s not much to do in the while halls of Chaldea.

Most of the Servants in Chaldea spent most of their time, bored out of t...

‘Well, let's consider the question of money solved for the moment.’ Momonga nodded to himself.

‘I don't know how exactly I should feel about making money from black market activities and underground fighting rings, but on the other hand, private security agencies are indeed a good suggestion. I haven't even thought about not killing monsters, but protecting against those! What a blind spot. Of course, I won't be able to do it personally, but I do have the option of working as a su...

So it is done: Cinder

For the Hunter Academies’ the fourth year was the final year – the last year of training before the teams became full-fledged Hunters. And, as one would expect, for the soon-to-be-graduating Hunters, studying was the last thing on their mind. Except of course for the week of cramming before their finally final, Final Exam. Even the slackers in the Hunter teams would’ve learned by now the need of studying, or be badgered into it by their more studious teammates.

Of course, the last...

Road to Camelot (209)

Semiramis shifted her gaze to the silhouette of Camelot in the distance, or rather, to the place where Camelot should have been. "The Goddess panicked… Though, is there an ability to experience human emotion for a creature like her?"

All throughout the Singularity's existence, a delicate balance has been maintained in the territories of surviving humanity through a system of checks and balances between powerful and influential Servants. And those who were too small and unimportant for...

It existed in nothingness, unaware of either existence or even the phenomenon of nothingness. But existence itself required awareness of nothingness, so after moments of meaningless existence, it ceased to exist.

First, it existed without existing. Then it ceased to exist.

A nothing with no meaning, no consciousness, no role.

Then it felt the possibility of existence.

It felt the possibility, but it did not understand the meaning.

It could have not existed, or it...

So it is done: Jonathan Goodman?

Jonathan closed his eyes, trying to catch the moments of rest, peace, and quiet that are slipping through his fingers.

To Jonathan… It was hard to tell if he enjoyed his work.

He was by no means complaining about his current life, certainly not, he was in a position where it was simply hypocritical for him to complain about anything.

Remnant's richest man, according to the ‘official’ survey, of course. Remnant's most powerful man, according to an equally ‘official’...

Calm (208)

After Bedivere's long and thorough retelling of his sad story, all Mashu could do was to bow her head and head in the direction of the small refugee camp, bearing the stares of fear and mistrust of the camps’ inhabitants. Mashu found the stares hard to bear, no matter how real or unreal the people might be.

After all, the people of this Singularity could not be called ‘real’ in the full sense of the word, simply by the very existence of the Singularity as a warping of Human Histor...

After saying his goodbye to the trio, of which his sort-of-son was now involuntarily a member, Momonga walked out of Kuoh Academy. He walked in a great arc, to bypass the two girls he had previously met, whose response to his previously demonstrated inhuman abilities he could not think of. Putting that thought aside for the moment, he walked slowly through the streets of the city, looking around thoughtfully while occasionally raising his eyes to the sky. Looking up at the sun of this world s...

Yang struck, her fist blazing forward, but Raven ducked playfully away from her daughter's unsharpened technique before knocking her to the ground with a light punch. Then, as she struck the ground, raising a cloud of dust upward, Raven placed her hand to Yang’s neck in a symbolic gesture, signalling her victory. “You are dead.”

Yang, hearing the same words for the umpteenth time, closed her eyes, then slowly opened them again, shedding the violet-tinged redness that had begun to ...

Chaldea and Staff: Ainz Who? (207)

“So…” Da Vinci folded her hands in front of her face, as she frowned slightly, assuming an unusual posture and expression for her. The act conveying a surprising amount of seriousness and concentration that seemed to make the room itself feel gloomy, causing all those present to pay attention to the usually flighty and cheerful scientist. “Any questions before we begin?”

Olga-Maria Animusphere slowly looked around the room with an attentive look, and seeing that no one seemed ...

Momonga rose from the table before pausing for a moment as his instinct warred with his usual behavior. His body couldn't get tired, and sitting in one place definitely wouldn’t cause any exhaustion to him, thanks to his undead nature. But, the remnants of his human emotions and feelings, seemed to be urging him to reach out his hands and stretch his stiff limbs a bit.

Deciding to satisfy his body's desires for once, Momonga stretched his body, then felt that strange pleasurable feeli...

Willow Schnee could be considered by most to be lucky, especially with the circumstances of her birth. Heh, lucky indeed.

The daughter of a world-renowned philanthropist, a powerful Hunter and a brilliant businessman, beloved by people inside and outside the state. A person who also organized the world's largest corporation controlling the world's most strategically important resource, Dust. A person who also reached out to the faunus, who were among the first in line to propose such an...

Fate of Bedivere (206)

Mashu shifted her gaze from Bedivere’s face, to his silver hand, which Arthuria held with a kind of undercurrent of warmth that is rare to her, or is it nervous fear? Looking to Arthuria herself for that answer, who’s seemingly in no less contemplation than Mashu herself, before giving up and asking her now eternal and constant companion. ‘Galahad? Do you understand what Bedivere was talking about?’

‘No more than you do, Mashu, but if it involves Merlin, then a headache is exa...

The subsequent day of schooling for Momonga went by about the same as the first, perhaps even more boring, if that’s even possible. After the sense of novelty had weathered and given the absence of meeting Rias Gremory and any possible ambush dissolved, Momonga found that he was bored out of his mind.

No, Momonga preferred situations where he was safe, even if doing something rather boring, to those in which he risked his life. But having realized that yesterday, he was probably not i...

So it is done: Menagerie

Ghira Belladonna faced away from the desk filled with documents before collapsing, exhausted, onto the back of his chair. After a heavy sigh, he ran his hands over his tired face, as if trying to gather the fatigue and shed it, knowing that his working day was not yet over.

As a top-level politician, being King of Menagerie, not that he liked being called that, Ghira's working day was never over. He’s the first faunus to receive all the news inside and outside the state, the first fau...
