Chương 52: Chapter 51: Future plan II

"Now then, where were we again? Yes, about the players. So Friday, how should I proceed with my moves in future." Arthur asked.

[Don't you already have a plan on how to deal with the players, Sir.] Yes, while Arthur may not be the brightest student in the class, he still has his fair share of experience in both the real world and in the game.

So just after he heard about the presence of other players in this world he started to formulate a strategy to make all the opposition fall.

"You know me, Friday. I just thought it was fun and this is a serious matter so I couldn't just go along with my halo-plan. And knowing you, you should already prepare a foolproof plan for me to proceed." After saying that Arthur stood up in a dramatic manner and made a 'T' pose he said:

"So tell me—King of Wisdom—Friday, how can I, Master of yours, claim this land and make my way to the next world? Give me your infinite wisdom, Friday and pave a path for me to walk towards the throne of this world."

[I thought you grew up from your chuunibyou phase, Sir, seems like I'm wrong. Anyway for your future development, I have constructed two possible plans.]

[The first one is relatively hard and needs a long time and countless schemes to put the plan into motion. And the end result is where both the Six Great Gods and the Eight Greed Kings are killing each other for us and the casualties for our side are almost negligible.]

[But as previously stated the plan needs a long time—around a century—to complete. But the merit is—we won't need to sacrifice much from Nazarick reserve. But knowing your personality, I don't think you will intend to go with this plan.]

[And my second plan is relatively simple, and doesn't require much time but the problem is, this plan requires an army and lots of sacrifices. Even—] Just then the door opened and Yuri entered the room once again.

"Sorry for making you wait, Ancient-sama." Then she just stationed at the side of Arthur to address any order he may give.

Arthur just nodded at her as he once again put his attention on what Friday said.

'So Friday, the sacrifice you are talking about, it's not on Floor Guardian level, right.' If it's on that scale, Arthur won't even have considered it as it's a high price to pay.

Sure, he had the finances to resurrect all the Floor Guardians along with all the Areas Guardians a hundred times over but he wasn't willing to sacrifice any of them unless a critical situation called for.

Here they also have an alternative plan so Arthur isn't willing to sacrifice any Guardians—and he also makes a promise to himself not to let any of his friends' hard work and dreams go to waste.

[No, Sir. The sacrifice I am stating is about the Mercenary NPC along with the pop-up monster and in the worst case we only need to sacrifice Five Ruler, who is located on the Eighth floor.]

🔹🔹🔹

Mercenary NPCs are a group of NPCs, which need to be summoned using a book, a special summoning ritual and an adequate amount of gold. Thus, they could not be summoned without a book.

And said the book is a collection of recorded monster data, Which Arthur and previous members of Ainz Ooal Gown slayed, And this date was required to summon said monsters as mercenaries.

For summoning, the gold cost for summoning a mercenary correlates with its level. As Ainz Ooal Gown is a collector-type guild, the majority of their mercenary books are high level—there are low-level mercenary NPC but compared to the rest, that's just a few in numbers—and the gold cost of summoning one of high-level NPC is immense from an NW perspective.

In reality, there is no need to acquire so many books, as using every single resource from Nazarick, one cannot summon even a tenth of the amount of monsters.

Because the monster data was not very expensive, Arthur started making a massive number of duplicates for future uses and another reason for gathering so many books was to hide important magic items by blending them among the ordinary ones making it impossible for anyone other than guild members or servants to find anything, which is smart idea proposed by none other than Nishikienrai—the Assassin com theft of Ainz Ooal Gown.

🔹🔹🔹

'This strategy is much closer to what I thought but anyway how should I start.' Arthur said after Friday explained the outline of her plan.

Just then the view on {Mirror of Remote Viewing} started to change its scenery until it stopped under a four people, who were wearing standard adventure outfits and were fighting a group of Demi-humans.

Arthur didn't ask why Friday showed him this image as he ordered Yuri.

"Yuri put Nazarick on maximum alert. I will go first, and you will tell Demiurge, who is standing on the next floor, to follow me after fully equipping himself. However, I forbid him to bring his Evil Lords with him. After that, prepare support units, just in case. Also, tell Demiurge—We are meeting humans with racial prejudice—just tell him that he will understand what to do."

"I understand, but I wish to request the task of defending your body to be given to me, Ancient-sama, as your personal maid it's my swear duty to protect you."

"Then who will relay my orders? And if by any chance any intruders came to the tomb as the last line of defence you along with all Pleiades should be present in the throne room. Therefore, you must stay." Saying so Arthur looked at the {Mirror of Remote Viewing}.

The image changed, and now it showed the Demi-humans sending a girl flying with a punch. The girl was sent back to a monk, who quickly healed her. They were probably at their wits. Arthur immediately opened his inventory and withdrew a Staff, which looks as majestic as {The Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown}.

Just as the humans planned to flee, they were once cornered by the Demi-humans. Since time was tight, Arthur swiftly incanted the spell: {Gate}

—a spell that had no limits on distance and a 0% chance of teleport mishaps.

Time to give an Oscar-winning performance. Arthur thought as he entered the gate.

Chương 53: Chapter 52: Adventure party

The scene before him changed in an instant.

The fact that the opposition had not used teleport-blocking filled Arthur with relief. If he was denied the chance to rescue them and was ambushed instead, it would have been bad.

The scene before the eyes was the same as what he had seen earlier.

Four adventures were in front of him surrounded by a bunch of Demi-humans.

The one who looked like the leader had a braid of straw-blonde hair with a black iris. He wore expensive-looking armour. He was breathing heavily and his wounds were visible to anyone.

Behind him was a woman wearing a traditional witch outfit, clearly telling that she was the wizard of this party. Despite that her skin was healthily tanned with amber colour eyes were now deathly pale from tired from the long battle.

And a hunky bald middle-aged man with a cane in his hand. There was nothing remarkable about him other than he was wearing a priest robe and was healing the women with light armour—the same girl Arthur saw through {Mirror of Remote Viewing}.

She looks like the youngest of the group. She had blonde hair with black eyes. No matter how you look she clearly is related to the leader of this party.

And their opponents—the Demi-humans—looked exactly the same Quagoa from the series. They have a mole-like appearance. Most of them have the fur colour of burnt tea brown, black and tea colour.

—But then, as soon as they meet Arthur, both of them immediately stop fighting.

Arthur gazed coldly at the Quagoa standing before the adventure party.

Perhaps Quagoa were shocked by Arthur's sudden appearance, but they simply stared at Arthur, having apparently forgotten to swing the claws towards them.

Arthur had grown up without knowing the touch of violence in his life. Even after release that this was not a simulation but the real thing, Even so, he did not feel the slightest bit of fear at the creature before him who held a sword.

And with a cruel demeanour, Arthur murmured his spell. {Dragon Lighting}.

A dragon-shaped bolt of white electricity crackled around Arthur's arms and shoulders. The bolt flared brightly as it instantly surged out at the Quagoa Arthur was pointing at.

There was no way to avoid it or defend against it.

The Quagoa who had been electrocuted by the dragon-shaped lightning bolt shone brilliantly for an instant. Miserable as their death was, it was still a beautiful sight.

The light in his eyes faded, and the Quagoa collapsed to the ground like a puppet whose strings had been cut. The body was charred black and gave off a vile stench.

There was no hint of guilt, fear or confusion. Arthur just felt like everything was normal even after seeing the half-dozen Quagoa burned to death.

"Pathetic, And it was only a fifth-tier spell."

Panic was written all over the remaining Quagoa face—even though Arthur didn't see any difference, he could feel their emotions, a small perk of being a dream demon—as Quagoa watched the malevolent gleaming of the terrible spell that cast upon them, and they realized two things.

The first was that their life would be over in a few seconds if they didn't defeat Arthur. The second was that they didn't possess the strength to defeat the opponent in front of them.

"... So, you dare to chase and hunt my fellow brethren but don't have the nerve to face someone like me. Truly Pathetic."

"—Don't worry my fellow humans, You can now rest. I will deal with them." Arthur said the adventure party, who was looking at him with Stars in their eyes.

'I totally nailed it. And I am feeling weird. Is someone watching me?' Arthur thought to himself while maintaining his heroic look.

As Arthur stared down the quivering Quagoa, he considered what spell to use next. Ultimately, he decided to go with an elemental spell: {Froze Bite}.

The moment the spell activated all the targets began to freeze while alive their screams fell on deaf ears.

Just as Arthur was thinking about starting a conversation with the adventures, a humanoid shape came through the still-open Gate. At the same time, the Gate's duration ended, and it slowly disappeared.

A person wearing a British suit with a tie—he is dressed like a gentleman—entered wearing a family-friendly grin.

"I apologise for the wait, Ancient-sama," Demiurge speaks formally—but his silver tail has no where to see. He looked Just like any human from the new world.

"No, it's fine. You came just in time," Arthur responded.

Then Demiurge looked at the surroundings almost like inspecting after which he looked at Arthur and then to the humans—a wide grin formed on Demiurge's face.

🔹🔹🔹

Albedo raised her hands, folded in a prayerful gesture, then gazed lovingly at the [Throne of Kings] before her, on which her Lord, Ancient One, had once sat. "Ah, my love, I pray that you will allow me to share your bed once again… "

When Sebas returned with the urgent report that, Lord Ancient One, the Last of the Supreme Beings, and, in Albedo's opinion, the only one worthy of the title, had gone into battle, Albedo had almost disobeyed the order to stay put. Every one of the Guardians of the Floors, every one of Nazarick, down to the last maid, was willing to go after him. Death in service was the ultimate reward for any of the beings of Nazarick, but the very thought that they might lose Him, the Last Supreme Being and Lord of the Supreme Beings, Lord Ancient One, is unthinkable. It was an endless torture worse than any other.

Albedo herself almost threw herself at Sebas for being there, before rushing to flee to her Lord, but Yuri, who came along with Sebas, uttered the most sacred of words, that she had received orders from Lord Ancient-sama, that she should remain in Nazarick along with the rest of Pleiades. These words managed for a moment to keep the Floor Guardians from acting harshly.

But even assurances that Lord Ancient One could always retreat if the battle failed a ludicrous notion, could not completely appease the Guardians.

The only thing that managed to calm Albedo was that Demiurge was present with Lord Ancient One. Even so, most of the Guardians wanted to witness the Last Supreme Being's glorious form.

So the general decision to turn at short notice to go to Nigredo, Albedo's own older sister, was formed unanimously and in a matter of seconds – whereupon the Guardians instantly rushed to the Fifth Floor. All in order to be able to view her Beloved's battle.

Albedo was aware that her lover, Lord Ancient One, always maintained a passive shield to protect him from surveillance, even when he wasn't using his ring to completely hide him from observation. Nigredo however is a high-level Area Guardian specialized in information gathering and as Lord Ancient One is in his weaker state she is enough to bypass that protection, even considering that it was Lord Ancient One's own protection.

So the general procession of the Guardians and others, who had joined them, clearly also worried about Lord Ancient One's fate, made their way instantly to the Frozen Prison. After which, opening the way to Nigredo, is able to convey the necessary information and requests to her.

Nigredo responded instantly, using her own abilities. and spells to glimpse Lord Ancient One's upcoming battle...

Albedo's heart seemed ready to burst with the emotions of admiration and lust that almost overwhelmed her...

But she controlled it in as she knew she could have her lord later at night. Then without blinking, she continued to look at battle—engraving each moment of her lord in her memory.
