"Super Tier Spell - [Fallen Down]," With those simple words, everything inside the radius was obliterated beyond measure. The trees, forest, the ground, and everything else was turned into nothing more but a black charred wasteland.
"Kakahaaah~ Kahaaaah~" That strange sound, accompanied by what seemed to be a gnashing of teeth, appeared from within the wasteland. A crimson armored vampire walked through the wasteland, wisps of smoke trailing off her body.
Her expression is that of a pained bliss, as if the attack earlier was not enough. Her crimson pupils, filled with hostility and bloodlust, focused on the supreme being.
"Ainz-samaaaa! That really hurt!"
Shalltear slowly walked forward, her footfalls fracturing the charred ground underneath.
Step by step, she shrank the distance between Ainz and herself, the Spuit Lance in her hand cutting through the air with a whoosh which indicated that she was still able to fight.
"That was just a meaningless present. Did you like it, Shalltear?"
"Ahahahaha!" Shalltear laughed, and her mirth came from the bottom of her heart. "Wonderful! To think I have to kill you, the all-powerful Ainz-sama!"
"-Sama, you say. Why do you address me as -sama? Who is your master?" Ainz asked in genuine curiosity and zero hostility.
"What a strange question. Is it not natural to address a Supreme Being like yourself with -sama? As for my present master…" Shalltear's face scrunched up, as though confused.
"...Why do I have to fight you, Ainz-sama? ...Ah, is it because you attacked me? But why would you attack me, Ainz-sama… I need to destroy anyone who attacks me with all my strength? Why is that?"
Before long, Shalltear seemed to have come to a conclusion, and her smile from earlier returned to her face. "Well, I'm still not too sure why, but since you attacked me, I must destroy you, Ainz-sama!"
Ainz sighed a little, "...Is that so… I understand. I understand what kind of state you're in...". He tapped his staff a little bit.
"Oho, what's wrong, Ainz-sama? You look a little weak there. How can you beat me like that?"
Ainz just chuckled a little in response. "Hmph, aren't you getting something wrong? Do you think someone like you can defeat me — defeat Ainz Ooal Gown? The name of 'Ainz Ooal Gown' is invincible. Shalltear, you will kneel in submission before me."
Shalltear smirked in response. "Ahahahaha! Ooooh, how scary~"
"You seem to be very confident in your victory, Shalltear," Ainz said tauntingly. "How so? Did you forget my supreme power?"
"You're a Magic Caster Ainz-sama and you are an undead, all I have to do is just drain you of your MP and there's nothing else you can do," Shalltear explained.
If he's capable of it, Ainz would've smirked. "I see, so you are saying that it's impossible for me to win because you can still fight even without MP and I don't? and also because of I'm being an undead that I am much more vulnerable to Holy Attacks?"
Shalltear took a step forward in response. "Yes," she said.
"Well let's change that shall we?" Ainz raised his black staff and a powerful wave of magic engulfed him. When it dies down, Ainz Ooal Gown was replaced by a tall mighty warrior wearing pure white Paladin Armor. The weapon in his hand turned into a pure white greatsword. "How about now? Am I still at disadvantage?"
The Vampire didn't say a word, she just stood there, shocked at what she's seeing. "Touch Me-sama?" she said in disbelief. "Perfect Warrior… And…" she tried to look at his stat and felt her unbeating heart quicken. "Impossible… Lord Touch Me, is that really you?"
"I am not Touch Me, neither am I Momonga, I am Ainz Ooal Gown!" he spoke, his voice that's of Vermin Lord. "Now… prepare yourself!"
Then, Touch Me charged in faster than the speed of light. His greatsword clashed off with Shalltear's Lance and a shockwave exploded through the clearing. The vermin lord didn't even pause and followed with strike after strike.
Shalltear jumped back and at that moment, the impossible happened.
"Maximize Magic-[Reality Slash]!" the vermin lord slash his sword and reality itself seems to crack in his will. A tear in a fabric of space appeared on Shalltear's body and a fountain of blood burst from her body.
Then, time itself seems to reverse and she looked brand new. Though, her face is still that of disbelief. "That is Ainz's-sama spell… What's this? Data False?" a grin spread across her face. "It is isn't it? Data False, you're hiding your stat and pretend to be Lord Touch Me."
As soon as that word left her mouth, Touch Me charged at her again. "[World Break]!" just like reality slash, Ainz's sword tear through the fabric of time itself, slicing through Shalltear's armor and cut her in half again.
Once again, Shalltear was forced to use her time reverse recovery spell. She only has one more use for it, but Lord Touch Me didn't even give her time to think. The World Champion dashed at her once again, sending blows after blows to the vampire which could barely block with her lance.
'Impossible!!! World Break is exclusive to World Champion! Did Touch Me learned how to use Reality Slash? That must be it right? This is Touch Me-Sama, he should be able to use Reality Slash'
Then, in a desperate attempt to survive, Shalltear assumed her mist form. Touch Me's blade simply swept through her and the paladin jumped back warily. "How childish," he proclaimed. "[Maximize Magic-Astral Smite]!"
Shalltear couldn't belief what's happening, not only the opponent in front of her is using the trademark skill of the World Champion, Touch Me he's also using a spellcaster skill.
"No… This has to be a trick!" Shalltear exclaimed before charging in with her own magic. "[Maximize Magic-Vermillion Nova]!" crimson flame hotter than the sun engulfed the supreme being. It's a bet on Shalltear's part, if he can resist it then.
However, Touch Me is nowhere to be seen. Shalltear wildly scanned her surroundings, there's no way he can get too far…
"Up here Shalltear-chan!"
A hail of arrows rained down from the heavens and the one shooting it, a bird man hovering above the sky like an angel of death. He held a large bow in his hands, not his trademark weapon, but no less deadly.
"Pero-Peroroncino sama!?" Shalltear sputtered in disbelief.
An arrow to the shoulder, followed by a dozen more striking through her body. The battle with Touch Me earlier has worn her out and she couldn't do anything to dodge the rain of death. Soon enough, she can feel her strength fades away.
The Vampire tried to use her time reverse spell, but even that cannot protect her against the neverending blows of arrows. Her HP drops faster than a rock and she died as soon as the ultimate attack ends.
But she still has her last resurrection
Shalltear stood once again, all the wounds from earlier vanished. "[Fly]!" she flew up to the air all the while dodging the leftover arrows coming at her like bullets. A wall of arrow appeared in her path and she used the Spuit Lance to redirect most of it from her vital organs.
When she's right in front of her creator she wasted no time charging towards him with her lance. But due to her own panic, her strike missed and she can feel her creator breathing to her ear. "You've been a bad girl, Shalltear-chan~"
Shivers ran down Shalltear's back. She tried to strike her creator, but he's already disappeared. She soared back down, her eyes wildly scanning for her opponent. Then, a distance away from her, she saw her opponent and she felt like running away.
It is a giant, a Nephilim wearing a samurai armor and held two blades in his hand. One is black dao sword bathed in darkness and the other one is a katana wrapped in lightning. "No, no, no! NO!" Shalltear exclaimed in denial. Just the thought of fighting this one enemy scared her to the core.
It's scary enough to see Warrior Takemikazuchi, the most powerful damager in the guild fighting against her. It's another to see him with his trademark weapon, Takemikazuchi Mk 8. But the vampire isn't going to back down. There is no possible way he…
There was a brown blur and Shalltear could no longer feel her right arm, nor the spuit lance, anymore. She looked to her right and saw the gigantic figure of the Warrior standing beside her. Near his feet is her right arm, along with the Spuit Lance.
"Your defeat is certain the moment you challenged us, Shalltear…" Warrior Takemikazuchi spoke.
Shalltear jumped back in panic. Her mind going overdrive trying to figure out a way to win against them.
Then, as if fate itself is mocking her, a giant mass of golden slime stood a distance away from her. The slime has no eyes, but she can feel it gazing at her with a disappointed look on her face. "I am very disappointed in you, Shalltear…" a soft female voice spoke to her as the slime swallowed the Spuit Lance.
Just like that, Shalltear lost all her hopes of victory. Without the Spuit Lance, there's absolutely NOTHING she could do to even damage the tank of the Supreme Beings. The creator of the twin elf, the unsinkable, Bukubukuchagama.
If she wasn't brainwashed, Shalltear would've bail out the moment she saw Warrior Takemikazuchi, but now…
"Ahaha…" Shalltear chuckled mirthlessly. "So, who's going to finish me off Ainz-sama? Ulbert? Punitto?"
The slime in front of her shifts and turn into Lord Momonga, a pitch black staff materialized in his hand as he walked towards her. "Forgive me, Shalltear," Momonga said with genuine regret.
"No need to apologize Ainz-sama, this is your win…" Shalltear spread out her only arm. "All hail Ainz Ooal Gown!" she spoke.
Ainz held an hour glass in his hand and broke it. "[Super Tier Spell-Fallen Down]!" he exclaimed and a bright flash of light filled the world.
[LINE BREAK]
The guardians watched the mirror in shock and disbelief. Not even Demiurge who was the most calm and composed one of them can even comprehend what's happening there. To see the late Supreme Beings fighting Shalltear.
The battle was beyond their imagination. It couldn't even be called a proper battle. It looked more like the Supreme Beings were toying with her. From the beginning when Touch Me depleted all her skills, to Peroroncino who took away her resurrection, Warrior Takemikazuchi who disarmed her in the most brutal way possible, and Bukubukuchagama who became the unpenetrable wall between her and victory.
"Could this be… The real power of the Supreme Being?" Demiurge voiced after witnessing. "No, what am I talking about? This is just the miniscule fraction of it…" he put a hand over his face and chuckled a little. "To think that Ainz Ooal Gown is more than just a name…"
Even Albedo who was the one with the most confidence of Ainz's victory didn't expect it to end that way. Shalltear, the most powerful of the guardians, toyed by the Supreme Beings from beyond the grave. "Could it be that… Could it be that the other Supreme Beings left their powers to Momonga-sama when they left?"
Cocytus nodded in agreement. "Perhaps. That. Is The. Case." the vermin said with untold amount of awe and pride after witnessing the battle. "The. Supreme. Beings. Did. Left. Their. Weapons. And. Items. Behind," he said this while rubbing his weapons.
"But did you see his transformation?" Demiurge said, his superior intellect trying to figure out what happened. "It was so real, if it's not for the fact that Ainz transformed into them, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference… And since when did Ainz sama has the power of a doppel?"
Frozen mist bellow out of Cocytus face. "None. Has. Pushed. Ainz-sama. This. Far. Since. The. 1500. Men. Invasion," he spoke a matter of factly. "Perhaps. He. Learned. That. Power. Soon. After…"
[LINE BREAK]
Meanwhile, two kilometers away from the battle. Aura deactivated her skill.
"Aura, what happened?" Mare asked, fearing the worst.
"Ainz-sama won," Aura said with an annoyed look on her face. "It wasn't even a battle, he's too powerful, he… She really didn't stood a chance," she took a deep breath and sighed a little. "Shalltear… You idiot…"
A [gate] appeared behind Aura and Mare, they turned around and knelt in front of the Supreme Being. "Aura, Mare, it is done…" the skeleton's voice was cold, but it still spoke of grief and sadness inside it. "We shall return and resurrect Shalltear."
"Yes, Ainz-sama," Aura said as she and her brother followed Ainz back into Nazarick.
