Chereads / Overlord: Ancient one / Chapter 77 - Chapter 70: Chaos II

Chapter 77 - Chapter 70: Chaos II

Arthur and his entourage crossed the mountain range of gold with the {Mass Fly} spell, and then they came to the door on the other side.

No, was it right to call it a door? It was more of a bottomless black shadow in the shape of a door, affixed to a wall.

As they arrived before this painting-like door, Arthur fell into thought.

"This is the armoury, so what is the password..."

"Ancient-sama, if there is an armoury, does this mean that there are other treasures stored in other locations?"

...Eh? Does Albedo not know about the interior of the Treasury? Maybe I didn't upload that information on her counsel.

Arthur had no idea why Albedo would have such doubts. However, it was understandable why she would not know about such things. After all, the Treasury did not exist within the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick proper, but could only be reached via the use of the Ring of Chaos. It was designed to be very difficult to infiltrate. Thus, it was only natural that Albedo had only received the ring and now knew of such things.

He had many questions about what exactly the NPCs knew, but after thinking about it, Arthur dismissed those concerns as trivial and answered her question.

"Yes. I had a friend. She liked sorting things out neatly, so she should have arranged the items by their intended purpose."

"Is your friend a supreme being, My Lord."

"Mm, Supreme being? You a partially right, Demiurge. However, it seems there was an exception to her orderly tendencies. If she was truly obsessed with cleanliness, then the treasures among the gold pieces should have been tidily arranged as well. One would not want to say that one's room was filthy, after all. Come to think of it, these items should be arranged in order of defensive gear, weapons, jewellery, wondrous items, consumables, crafting supplies, and so on. Also, there are the rooms for the management of Nazarick... and yes, there should be a room for data crystals. And this is sector 5 of Chaos." (He is talking about Friday, if any of you is wondering)

Sector 5, is an area in chaos that holds artefacts of legendary levels and above that are specialised in AOE. This area of chaos can only be visited by a limited number of people including Arthur, Aurora, and Pandora's Actor.

During the canon Pandora's Actor resided on the 9th floor, but due to Arthur creating this floor, Pandora's Actor has been relocated to the 11th floor since this is where all the artifacts lie.

Not only that but this floor also needs a supervisor other than Aurora, which is done by Pandora's Actor. While Aurora is a cable floor Guardian, due to her also being the Overseer of Co-Guardians, she can't often do her role as the Guardian of the 11th floor because of that Pandora's Actor takes her role when she is absent.

Sector 5 is Pandora's Actor residency and his command centre.

As Arthur chattered on, he pointed to where a two—dimensional shadow now appeared on the wall.

"And there are different sections all over chaos, and it doesn't really matter which direction you enter from... oh, my apologies. I seem to have said too much."

"Certainly not. I am grateful that you would answer our questions so readily, Ancient-sama."

The guardians bowed in thanks as Albedo made her reply. While Aurora for some unknown reason looked very proud. You can see that smug look on her face.

Arthur turned to the black abyss; this was a door that required a certain password to open, just like {Sector 5}. All other sectors also needed such verbal verification, otherwise, the golem that was present in the chaos would attack the intruder. Perhaps one could force it open with magic or some specific set of skills, but Arthur didn't need such a thing.

There is also a possibility of NPCs using the passwords to their advantage—which is very unlikely—and there are members who specialize in lockpicking; however, the chances of them bypassing Aurora and Friday's radar are next to impossible.

Arthur spoke a master password:

"Glory to Ainz Ooal Gown." In response, the jet-black door turned to crimson.

Arthur looked at the crimson door and a single word appeared on it 'Wrath'. This must be a hint for the password. Since there is a different password for each sector, the way to find the correct password is by identifying the words the door shows after the Master Password is spoken.

He racked his brains, taking his time to plumb the depths of his mind for the answer.

'Friday, Correct me If I am wrong.'

[Yes, Sir.] With Friday's confirmation, Arthur chant the sentence.

"Our Wrath will burn those everlastingly who make themselves fuel for it. And from their ashes, we will build our fortress."

As though in response to Arthur's words, the crimson shadow door collapsed into a single point. Soon, it was gone, leaving a fist-sized sphere of blackness floating in the air.

Now that the shadow had vanished, one could see into the tunnel that had been left behind. This was an orderly place, completely unlike the previous gold-filled area. The best way to describe it would be something like a display from a museum.

The dimly lit room was very long and stretched ever inward.

The ceiling was about five meters above the ground, a height which was clearly not designed with humans in mind, while it was about ten meters from one wall to the other.

The ground was made of tightly-fit, shiny black stone blocks, and it looked like a single gigantic stone slab.

Neat rows of countless weapons were arrayed on the walls to Arthur's left and right, making an impressive display.

"I'm going in."

Arthur entered the Armory without waiting for his followers to respond.

What awaited of them were giant Swords, magic Staff, Fancy Artifacts etc.

Of course, there were other types of weapons as well. There were one-handed axes, two-handed axes, one-handed bludgeons, javelins, bows, crossbows...

All the items present here have one common point; they all are specialized or rather have powerful AoE attacks.
