Chereads / Overlord: Across The Multiverse / Chapter 15 - Wise King Of The Forest

Chapter 15 - Wise King Of The Forest

"How long was I gone?" I asked Toph who had a confused look.

"You were gone for a few minutes... did something happen?" Toph asked, to which I shook my head. I knew she sensed that act even though she was blind.

'It felt like I was gone for hundreds of years, just lost in absorbing all of Anos' experience... that guy was a genius.' I thought while sensing how my [Death's Almighty], [Instant Death], and my job class [The End] had begun to start fusing. All I needed to do was wait.

{A/N: I will take some time to purely focus on [The End] Job Class since I had avoided going deep about these abilities from this job class. But I did drop hints on the job class, such as adding an instant death effect to attack spells he cast.}

'In the anime, Momon would have gotten his hands on the Wise King Of the Forest, should I go get the pet? I also need to work on getting the princess to be my wife.' I thought while looking around Carna village, confused as to why everything was moving to how the plot would. That was weird, it was like Fate was pulling me and the guild toward things.

"Demiurge." I cast the spell message, and instantly Demiurge answered.

"I will give you 1 task. Go to see the princess known as the Golden Princess, You will see she is special and is worthy of joining me. If she by chance refuses, which I highly doubt she would refuse to join us, leave her be. I would deal with her... don't do anything to push her away." I said calmly.

"Understood my lord," Demiurge said while looking towards Albedo in confusion, but all he saw was Albedo in deep thought.

"Lord Ainz Ooal Gown should be disappointed that you didn't catch on to this person sooner. maybe that's why he suddenly disappeared." Albedo said lightly, making Demiurge's eyes widen in shame. 

He gritted his teeth, feeling like a fool. He looked at his hands, not understanding just why he was so useless. He quickly ran off, scared to disgrace Ainz Ooal Gown.

Elsewhere, Shalltear stood, traveling around doing her missions. She was given the task of searching for Talent Holders and those with Martial Arts. But she paused as she suddenly got a message.

"Shalltear, avoid killing when possible, keep your bloodlust under control. I want as many people brought back alive for experiments. Report if you run into interesting matters." My voice sounded in her head, causing her to stiffen while looking at the sea of lifeless bodies all around her.

"Y-yes my lord," Shalltear said in fear, scared that she might have messed up and she was caught. She looked at the many lifeless bodies all over the place, not knowing what she should do right now...

'Should I do the whole Nazarick invasion thing? I would need a reason for Nazarick to show itself to the world, I will use the Slane Theocracy. Yes, they are out right now.' I thought my eyes growing with a smirk.

"Albedo," I called out in a serious and heavy tone, 

"My Lord You call for me! I'm here, please forgive me. I wasn't in control, allow me to see you, smell you, and touch you again." Albedo cried, happy to hear me talk to her once more.

"Join Ur in creating a fake Nazarick. Have it be near Carna village, but not too close, I plan to have people enter it soon. Have all of Nazarick ensure it's completed within 12 hours. Depending on how well you can complete this task will determine how many days will be taken off your punishment." I said seriously, 

"Y-yes, I will have it done in 6 hours," Albedo said with flames burning in her eyes, she ran off, ignoring the mirror she was using to spy on me... only to remember she had the ring of Ainz Ooal Gown, and quickly used it to teleport away.

'Tonight should be the night which Shalltear would meet with the members of the Slane Theocracy. If I'm correct, fate would try to make things happen the way it went down in the anime. But with Shalltear having 22 world items, she would be immune to the world item in the enemy's hands. So, fate might do something to try and make Shalltear lose. With that in mind...' I thought while summoning my Mirror Of Heaven.

I looked into the future in that mirror, allowing me to foresee all possible things I could see using that mirror. I quickly found the possible future that showed Shalltear facing the members of the Slane Theocracy. Knowing the location, I went on to have the mirror look towards that place before I went on to see all possible outcomes that could play out in that location. 

'I see...' I thought seeing what trump cards they would have. I thought for some time, before shrugging, since it would fall into my hands in a few hours. I was just impressed that some things shown here were not in the anime or light novel...

Well, time passed and soon we joined Nfirea in the woods for him to gather herbs. The main reason Nfirea wanted us, was so that we could protect him while he searched for herbs.

"So, the Wise King Of the Forest is here? I do sense the thing, seems weak." I said calmly while looking toward where I sensed Aura. I had told her to cause some chaos deep within the forest so that I could show off my strength.

"I'm sure to someone like you it's weak, but to us, it might be able to kill us all," Brita said with a sigh. She was right, as that Wise king of the Forest was level 30, above their power. Working together, they could combat someone at level 14 at best, this Wise King of the Forest would one-shot them.

"I see... I do look forward to fighting it." I said calmly, which scared everyone as they didn't want to face that monster. So, we went on to guard Nfirea, although the forest grew... restless.

"You guys should leave," Toph said calmly, confusing them, but after a moment, Lukrut's face paused, 

"Yeah, we should leave, for some reason, the monsters in the forest here are going wild," Lukrut said causing everyone to go on guard.

"Yes, it seems like the Wise King of the Forest is the reason behind this. It's currently coming towards me. I guess it sensed me. We should go," I said lightly, causing everyone to grow uneasy. 

They quickly turned to leave, but with the Wise King of The Forest running over here at full speed, it didn't take long for its arrival. What first answered us was a tail, which I quickly blocked as Ninya and the others couldn't even react fast enough.

"You who challenge thee, state thou name!" The Wise King Of The Forest's deep and scary voice filled the space, with its mighty shadow appearing before us. Horror filled the hearts of Nfirea, Ninya, and the others, unable to comprehend how they would deal with this monster.

"My name is Momon. No one challenged you," I said calmly, facing the scary shadow with swords in my hands.

"Thee who has stepped into thou lands, without thou permission has challenged thou." The Wise King of the forest said while slowly stepping into the lights, and there appeared the monster.

It had a mighty snake-like tail, harder than most metal out there. The Wise King of The Forest might look like a hamster, but its eyes carried great power. Its size trumped all who stood there, making everyone feel small. This was a truly powerful existence, a lifeform without equals, and it now stood before us.

Be it Brita, Ninya, or Peter, they lost all hope in living today. They could only hope for me to face such a powerful boss monster. And I got ready to do such that.

"Fall back, I will do battle with it," I said heroically, to which they nodded, while the Wise King of the Forest Attacked. I blocked the blow, the loud sounds from our clash filling the forest. Trees fell over as we passed, nothing able to stand in the path of our mighty battle.

I was sent flying back, landing before Peter and the others, the group watched in shock as I went on to block the snake-like tail shooting towards me before I shot forward. With the sound of a few clashes, they watched as the Wise King Of the Forest was sent flying into the air, a deep cut in its stomach.

It landed before them, fear and horror filling the Wise King Of the Forest as I came falling from the sky, my sword stabbing right next to its head.

"I thought you were strong," I said calmly,

"I surrender..." The WIse King Of The Forest said in fear and horror while looking at how close the blade was to its face...
