Chapter 10: Chapter 10: Please Focus Your Attack
Back at Nazarick
Momonga gathered all the NPCs in the great hall.
Peroroncino, disguised as a humanoid, hid among the NPCs. This form had only been seen by Nabe, and since he had arrived before everyone else, no one suspected anything.
When everyone had gathered, Momonga spoke.
"First, I apologize for acting on my own without prior discussion."
"What happened exactly can be asked of Albedo."
"But there is one thing I need to inform you all about."
"High-tier item destruction." Momonga cast a spell, and the flag symbolizing him was burned and fell to the ground.
"I've changed my name."
"It is now Ainz Ooal Gown. You may refer to me as Ainz."
"Anyone with objections may speak up."
Peroroncino had intended to say something but thought it best to ask Momonga privately later.
"Remember your esteemed name!" Albedo spoke up.
"Swear absolute loyalty to the Supreme Being."
"Long live Ainz Ooal Gown!"
"Long live Ainz Ooal Gown!" Everyone shouted in unison under Albedo's leadership.
"To give everything to the Supreme Being."
"The King with supreme power."
"The world shall know of your greatness."
"Our King, who transcends all."
"May the glory of the Death King, the Undead King, shine forever."
Afterward, Momonga left with the command, "I order you to make Ainz Ooal Gown an eternal legend."
Once Momonga left, Albedo stood in front of the throne facing everyone.
"Demiurge, tell everyone what Ainz-sama said to you."
Demiurge stood before the crowd and said, "Ainz-sama said this while admiring the night sky,"
"I came here, perhaps to obtain this treasure chest that does not belong to anyone else."
"And then he said this,"
"Conquering the world might be quite interesting."
"And Peroroncino-sama also agreed,"
"Who wouldn't want to be the first person in history?"
"Everyone, the final goal of the Great Tomb of Nazarick is to conquer this world and dedicate it to Ainz-sama."
Peroroncino looked at Demiurge and thought, "As expected of you, Demiurge. What a masterful job of trimming the beginning and the end."
When most of the people had left, just as Peroroncino was about to leave, Shalltear approached him.
"What floor are you from? I've never seen you before."
At this point, Nabe also noticed what was happening.
"Shalltear-sama, he is..."
"Shh! Let me handle this."
"Why does it matter what floor I'm from?" Peroroncino teased Shalltear.
"Do you want to die?" Shalltear's anger was kindled, and her appearance slightly changed.
"Are you sure you want to make a move?"
"You think I wouldn't dare?" Shalltear was about to explode.
"Look me in the eyes!" Peroroncino then transformed back to his original form.
Shalltear slapped herself twice.
"I'm terribly sorry, Peroroncino-sama, I..."
"It's alright. I was just teasing you. You did the right thing, asking for identification when facing someone you haven't seen before to make sure they're not an infiltrator."
"But you also need to control the negative effects better. Try not to lose control, or you'll become a mindless zombie who only knows how to slaughter."
"I will remember your words."
Later, Peroroncino found Momonga.
"Momonga, why did you change your name, and why did you choose the guild name?"
"I thought about it for a long time. I've always felt that we weren't the only chosen ones, so I wanted the name Ainz Ooal Gown to spread throughout the world, in case any other companions come to this world. I hope they'll know of our existence."
"I see. But I'll still call you Momonga! Ainz just feels strange."
"Call me whatever you like."
Later, Momonga informed Peroroncino about the information he had gathered from the village chief.
"An adventurer, huh? I plan to become one. What about you?"
"I'm planning the same. It'll allow me to learn the common knowledge of this world and gather information."
"Then shall we form a team?"
"I refuse!"
"I want to train the humanoid, and splitting up will improve the efficiency of gathering information."
"That makes sense, but I still want to team up with you for adventuring."
"Actually, I want to experience being the only man in an adventuring party with a harem. You know what I mean!"
"Well, I can only say, as expected of you."
"Of course, if we happen to meet, we can team up. But my main goal is to level up. The harem is secondary."
"I get it, I get it."
As Momonga's close friend, Peroroncino was considered the most suave person in Momonga's eyes, with no one before or after him surpassing his level of suave.
Among everyone Momonga had encountered, Peroroncino was definitely the smoothest.
In the end, Peroroncino did not tell Momonga about the things Demiurge and Albedo had done.
This was because Peroroncino also wanted to see what the NPCs would do and he had his own plans to accomplish something significant.
After bidding farewell to Momonga, Peroroncino used a teleportation ring to travel to the first floor.
"Welcome, Peroroncino-sama!" A vampire bride spoke as she saw him.
"Gather all the undead that will automatically emerge on the first floor!"
"Understood, Peroroncino-sama."
"Slane Theocracy, huh? Let me test your strength!"
"Shalltear, bring the servant and knight here."
"Understood, my lord."
Soon, all the undead that emerged on the first floor were gathered. At this time, Shalltear arrived with the servants and knights.
"Master, what do you plan to do with these low-level creatures?"
"Attack the Slane Theocracy!"
"Is this to lay the groundwork for Ainz-sama's world conquest goal?"
"No, this is just a test. I want to know how long it would take the Slane Theocracy to eliminate these undead to judge their strength."
"Truly a deep and thoughtful plan, my lord!"
"No, it's just that you're a bit slow-witted..."
"My apologies, my lord, I am too slow-witted."
Peroroncino patted Shalltear on the back and said:
"I was just joking with you. From now on, you don't have to be so formal with me. I am your creator. We should be the closest people. If you have something to ask or say, feel free to do so. You can even joke with me like I just did."
"Yes, my lord."
"Instead of 'my lord,' I'd rather you call me 'Onii-chan,' though, only in private."
"Yes, Onii-chan-sama," Shalltear replied in an extremely seductive tone.
Upon hearing this, Peroroncino nearly unsheathed his sword to duel Shalltear for three hundred rounds. But with so many skeletons and other undead creatures around, he couldn't act.
"Servant, come here!"
"Yes."
Peroroncino took out the Administrator's Staff.
The servant eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
"What profession should I change it to?"
"Got it, Impostor, maxed out stats."
Peroroncino used his Insight Eyes to see the servant new attributes.
Profession: Impostor
Level: 40 (Max 40)
Race: Vampire Servant
Skills: Disguise. Can make anyone unable to tell their true race.
At this moment, the servant woke up.
"Try disguising yourself as a human."
"Yes, my lord."
The servant originally pale skin returned to a normal human tone, looking very much like an ordinary human.
"Now, turn into an undead, let me see."
The servant flesh was gradually enveloped in black mist, and as the mist dissipated, the flesh vanished.
It became an ordinary skeleton.
Peroroncino pinched its arm and felt the flesh-like sensation. So this is what disguise is. It's hard to tell without direct contact.
"Very good, now I order the knight to follow your commander, servant, as vice-leader. Proceed to attack the Slane Theocracy."
"Understood," the servant said. The knight nearby hesitated.
"My lord, I cannot do this. I cannot slaughter the people of my country. Please, kill me!"
"In that case, I promise you that I will not harm any defenseless civilians in the city. As long as they stay inside their homes, they will remain safe."
"..."
"You have five seconds to decide."
"Thank you for your consideration, my lord. I am willing."
"Not slaughtering civilians is my unchangeable bottom line. You can rest assured about that."
"Servant, besides the capital, what other major cities are there in the Slane Theocracy?"
"My lord, there is the City of Water, Aelakaze; the City of Trade, Tingsinmute; and the City of Miracles, Dream Valley..."
"Let's go with the City of Water, Aelakaze."
"It is 2:56 AM now."
"Attack will begin at 4:00 AM."
"Shalltear, open a portal and send them near Aelakaze."
"Understood!"
After the army left, Peroroncino looked at Shalltear.
"It's time to fulfill your wish."
"Please make it a little more intense, Onii-chan-sama."
"..."
