Mailena was in the dressing room adjacent to Momonga's suite, a mess with almost nowhere to put her feet.
The room contained armor and other means of protection, weapons, from magic staves to two-handed swords. It was indeed a set of equipment.
Momonga selected a two-handed sword from the weapon in the room. Freeing itself from its scabbard, the silvery blade gleamed in the light. The runes carved into the blade's body also glittered, engraved in the eyes of any outsider.
Momonga unrolled his two-handed sword. He was light as a feather.
Of course, this was not because the blade was light, but because Momonga was very strong.
Momonga was a magician, and his spellcasting characteristics were very high, but its physical characteristics were inferior to them. However, the strength he gained from reaching level 100 was no small number.
Momonga slowly took a fighting stance, and then a loud metallic clang echoed through the room. The sword he had been holding a minute ago was now on the ground
The maid in the room immediately took the two-handed sword and held it out to Momonga. However, Momonga didn't pick it up, but looked at his empty hands.
"So some of the functions of YGGDRASIL are still present?" warrior classes, so he could not use a two-handed sword. However, if this new world was real, it only made sense that he could own it.
Momonga shook his head and decided not to think about it. In the end, he will not be able to find the answer, no matter how much he thinks.
"That's for sure, I can't tell, there are a lot of things to check," Momonga replied.
After Momonga ordered the maid to get out, he turned to look in the mirror, which almost covered the entire wall. He saw a skeleton dressed.
He should have been scared to see what his body had become, but Momonga remained unperturbed. Indeed, it even seemed natural.
There was another reason for this, besides the fact that he was used to this image since YGGDRASIL.
The reason was that his mind changed with his body.
The first sign of this was the fact that whenever he felt a strong surge of his emotions, he immediately calmed down, as if something was suppressing it. Another thing is that he did not feel thirst, hunger, or fatigue. There might have been something akin to lust, but he didn't feel aroused even as he stroked Albedo's soft breasts.
While Momonga was pondering, Meilena called the servant away.
"So how do you feel Momonga? Being in your new body? "
" Nothing, "Momonga could only answer, meanwhile he continued:
" When I start to experience something, some inner strength calms me down. "
"Hmm, is that how it is? Perhaps a passive racial skill is working and it affects you that way? And I wonder if he will stay if you have a body?
"This is a very interesting question Mailen-san should check someday, but later."
Right now he possessed the body and mind of an undead, but some remnants of his humanity remained. Therefore, even when he experienced emotions, if they reached their peak, they were immediately suppressed.If he continues that way, he may end up losing all of his emotions in the future.
"
After Momonga cast the spell, his body was covered with a set of engraved full plate armor. It glowed darkly, and its surface was covered in gold and silver patterns. It looked very expensive.
Meilena decided to move a little further.
Momonga decided to move around in his armor to see what it was like. Although somewhat restrictive, he was not immobilized. In addition, the armor fitted very well to his body, which was quite unexpected considering the gaps between his naked body and the armor.
It would seem that he could use magic items like in Yggdrasil.
Bye Momonga silently applauded the wonders of magic, he looked at himself in the mirror from behind the slits of his closed helmet. The dashing warrior looked back at him, not at all like a wizard. Momonga nodded in satisfaction and swallowed a non-existent throat.
".. You must have already learned what Momonga wanted?" They nodded to each other and using the ring, teleported to Floor 1 at the entrance to the tomb.
(Entrance to the First Floor of Nazarick).
They ended up in a small room. On either side of them were rows of narrow gravestones, but there were no corpses on them. The floor was polished limestone. Behind Momonga and Meilen was a flight of stairs leading down, and at the end there were double doors that led to the 1st floor of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick. There were no torches in the sconces in the walls; the only light came from the bluish-white moonlight streaming outside.
This was the closest to the surface where the Ring of Ainz Ooal Gown could move it, the central mausoleum on the surface of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick.
All they had to do was take a few steps to reach the outside world. But despite the huge space in front of them, Momonga and Meilen were unable to take these steps.
This was due to a completely unexpected meeting.
Silhouettes of heteromorphic creatures loomed in front of them. There were three monsters in total
These were the Evil Lords of Wrath, Envy and Greed respectively.
All the Evil Lords turned their attention to Momonga and Mailen, but they did not move, but only watched with their unshakable gazes. A gloomy atmosphere was in the air.
They were all monsters around level 80 or so, and should have been assigned to watch around the Hellish Sanctuary where Demiurge lived, near the 8th Floor Gate. Shalltear's undead minions had to stand on the upper floors to stand guard. So what were Demiurge's subordinates, his elite guard, doing here?
There was another figure behind them. Momonga hadn't noticed him until now, but had watched Momonga from the beginning. Once it was revealed, everything became clear.
"Demiurge ..."
Momonga decided to bet on a small probability and moved on. If he stopped now, it would be a miracle if his true identity were not revealed. Either way, his plan was to slowly move forward, staying near the wall, ignoring the monsters and walking past them.
He was fully aware that their eyes were on him.However, Momonga suppressed his feeling of weakness by sheer willpower, lifted his chest high and continued to move forward.
Meilena only stood next to Momonga.
Once they got close enough to each other, all the demons simultaneously knelt with their heads bowed before them. At the head of them, of course, was the Demiurge. His neat movements were fluid and elegant, as if he were a nobleman.
"Momonga-sama, Meilena-sama. May I ask why you two came here unaccompanied and in such armor? "
" Ah ... it's difficult. Demiurge, you should know why I am wearing this. As for the escort. Meilena-san is accompanying me, isn't she? "
Demiurge's elegant face contorted in horror. He took a few breaths before answering:
"My deepest apologies for not being able to predict your bottomless intentions, Momonga-sama ... About Meilena-sama accompanying you. For the last two Beings, it is not the smartest move to go out on the street unaccompanied. "
" Don't you trust our ability, our power to protect yourself, Demiurge-san? " - said Meilena and pressing the Dimiurge with her Aura.
Demiurge heard what was said from Meilen bowed even deeper, sweat ran down his face, his whole body gradually became heavy before falling face down on the ground, the pressure disappeared. {{1} } This pressure in Demiurge's mouth made everything dry.
"We are very flattered Demiurge that you are so worried about us, but even every concern has its limit, do you understand?"
".. I , I understand Mailen - as expected of you, you decided to check everything yourself. "
(What?) - this is what Mailen and Momonga had in their minds, because all they wanted to do was get out and get some air
You could say Meilena wanted to feel the influx of fresh air, because being in the world of 2138, where he was polluted, and he lived there for 13 years, he could not bear it, and people who live there from birth.
"However, I cannot allow your noble personality to act unaccompanied. I understand that this may cause inconvenience to you two, but I hope that, by your boundless mercy, you will allow one of us to accompany you, "Demiurge replied with all his courtesy."
"... Can't be helped ... Okay, I'll let one person travel with us, "Momonga replied.
Demiurge smiled elegantly.
" I, thank you for your trust, "said Dimiurge.
Momonga and Meilen passed the bowing Demiurge, who raised his head and followed his master.
As they emerged from the mausoleum, Momonga and Meilen were greeted with a beautiful sight. The Great Tomb of Nazarick was 200 square meters and was protected by six-meter walls with front and back entry and exit.
The grass in the Tomb was cut short and refreshing. On the other hand, the trees of the Tomb had leafy branches that covered most of the shadow area, and extensive shadows gave the place a gloomy look. Alabaster headstones were also scattered.
In addition to the large central mausoleum, there were four smaller mausoleums to the north, south, east and west, each protected by statues of armored warriors, each six meters high.
The central mausoleum was the gateway to the Great Tomb of Nazarick, and it was from this place that Momonga entered the outside world.
Momonga and Meilen stood at the top of the stairs, and calmly looked at the landscape in front of them.
The Great Tomb of Nazarick was originally located in ice world - Helheim, which was constantly shrouded in darkness.The atmosphere was gloomy and dark, and the sky was constantly overcast. However, what he saw now was very different from this.
They were looking at the beautiful night sky.
(Momonga's thoughts)
"Amazing ... the sky is so clear. "
(Mailen's thoughts).
(I already forgot what the sky looks like to be honest, .... nostalgia, huh?).
Momonga activated a special subject "Flight" and gained altitude, Meilena kept up with him using the skill "Levitation" followed him.
Although Demiurge desperately tried to catch up with them, they did not pay attention to him and steadily climbed up. Before they knew it, they were several hundred meters high.
The blue-white light of the moon and stars chased away the darkness of the earth. It seemed that the meadows, fluttering with a light breeze, were glowing. Countless stars and the moon also radiated their own radiance, shining brightly against the backdrop of light emanating from the earth.
Momonga sighed involuntarily.
"It's beautiful ... no, it's not beautiful to describe it .... the stars in the sky are shining like jewels like this.
" Maybe so. I believe the beauty of this world exists to adorn the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, "Demiurge said in a reverent voice.
" Hmm, you must be right ... maybe we came to retrieve this jewel box. "
Momonga clenched his fist in front of him, and it seemed like he was taking the stars in his arms. Of course, it was simply because his hand was covering the stars. He shrugged his shoulders at his childish behavior and said to Demiurge:
Meilena only smiled at his comrade's behavior.
"... No, this is not something we can claim for ourselves. Perhaps these jewels are intended to decorate the Great Tomb of Nazarick; me and my friends from Ainz Ooal Gown. "
" ... What a moving statement. If you wish, at your order, I will lead Nazarick's troops to retrieve this treasure chest. I, Demiurge, would not like nothing but presenting this treasure chest to my lord and mistress, Momonga-sama and Meilena-sama. "
These silly lines made Momonga chuckle. He wondered if Demiurge was intoxicated by the atmosphere?
(Momonga's thoughts).
(What if it's fun to rule the world? What's next, and what enemies or friends will we meet?) {{ 1}} Meilena looks at his friend and cannot smile broadly, from such a smile, Satan himself would run away, praying to God.
(Mailena's thoughts)
(I feel like a little child to her God .. I'm already 105 years old .. and I can't remove my stupid smile ..).
Conquering the world is something that only villains in anime / manga talked about.
The thing is, conquering the world was not easy. And then there was the question of how to rule the world after its conquest, to prevent rebellion and maintain public order, and all the other problems that have arisen with the rule of many nations. Thinking about it, you can understand that there was no point in conquering the world.
Momonga knew all this, but he still talked about conquering this world, because the sight of his beauty awakened youthful desire in him. In addition, when he was about to become the leader of the terrible guild Ainz Ooal Gown, those words accidentally escaped his mouth.
And there was another reason.
This was because they remembered the words of their former guildmates: "Let's conquer all 9 worlds in Yggdrasil."
Maybe they could have done who knows? It is a pity that the dream was not destined to come true, although there was a dark developer on their side, but the light ones also had one, but there were only 41 of them, and there were too many opponents ...
And now it is possible .. {{1} } "Let's conquer this world," they said in unison.
Meanwhile, a broad smile is visible on Demiurge's frog face.
