OVERLORD: The Second Supreme Being

Peroroncino looked at Rubedo, clearly realizing that his attempt to deceive had failed.

"Perfect Resurrection Jade! Revive Shalltear."

"It's a revival item, quickly interrupt him!" Albedo shouted.

Just as Rubedo was about to act, she saw Shalltear revive instantly.

"How could the revival happen so quickly! Shalltear was revived in an instant," Albedo exclaimed in astonishment.

"That was also a world-class item," Rubedo replied.

Using the world-class item, Rubedo, could sense that the energy emitted by the Perfect Revival Jade just now was of world-class quality.

"Shalltear, use the Unclean Shield Impact! Push Rubedo back!" Peroroncino shouted.

"Hmph! Special skills have a usage limit every day. There are only two chances, and Shalltear has already used them. Stop bluffing," Albedo said with a disdainful look at Peroroncino.

Shalltear rushed in front of Rubedo, who was trying to get closer to Peroroncino.

"Unclean Shield Impact!"

A flash of white light passed in front of Rubedo, and her whole body was sent flying.

"Impossible! Shalltear has already used it twice!" Albedo's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Peroroncino did not explain anything.

After all, he didn't have the time for that.

Although Peroroncino was still maintaining a very high health line, Rubedo's combat power was too terrifying. Peroroncino couldn't afford to make a single mistake.

Shalltear did not continue attacking but instead guarded by Peroroncino's side.

The Perfect Resurrection Jade revived Shalltear and simultaneously reset her used special skill count.

Peroroncino checked his mana and noticed that he had already used more than half of it, while Rubedo's health was still not below half.

"Starburst Arrow!"

The arrow shot out at high speed, hitting Rubedo precisely.

An explosion sounded, and damage appeared on Rubedo's body.

Due to the special skill Peroroncino used earlier, Rubedo's defense was reduced by half, which meant that Rubedo was not as resistant to damage now.

"Maximize Magic: Crimson Nova!" Shalltear cast the spell.

The towering flames directly engulfed Rubedo.

"Shockwave!" Rubedo swung her fists, causing the air to tremble, and the flames surrounding her were scattered by the shockwave.

"Maximize Magic: Demon Power!" Albedo unleashed a skill, and a massive demon fist charged toward Peroroncino.

"Shalltear, ignore Albedo and focus on stopping Rubedo," Peroroncino ordered.

Peroroncino didn't dodge and instead took the hit from Albedo head-on.

"Maximize Magic: Thorned Chains!"

Peroroncino cast a spell, and a chain covered in thorny spikes appeared next to Albedo, binding her tightly.

"Ultimate Secret Skill"

＜Destruction is Rebirth＞

"Corona God Arrow"

A regular arrow appeared in Peroroncino's hand.

Peroroncino placed the ordinary arrow onto the Houyi Bow.

At that moment, a shadowy figure appeared behind Peroroncino, as if possessing him. The figure's eyes glowed with white light, filled with confidence as they drew the bow, resembling the legendary archer Houyi, the god of the sun.

"Albedo, what is that technique?" Rubedo asked for the first time, feeling a sense of fear. She immediately inquired.

"I don't know. I've never seen this skill before," Albedo replied.

"What's the use of you then? Charge!" Rubedo activated her skill.

Shalltear blocked in front of Rubedo, but Rubedo used her own speed to bypass Shalltear.

She charged straight toward Peroroncino.

Just as Rubedo was about to reach Peroroncino, she suddenly changed direction.

"What's going on?!" Rubedo said in shock. She hadn't intentionally changed direction, but her body moved against her will.

"It's Peroroncino's previous use of ＜Spatial Distortion＞," Albedo explained.

Albedo was also approaching Peroroncino, but during the skill's activation, movement was still possible.

An archer pulling against a tank—just having hands isn't enough.

Albedo tried to approach Peroroncino but couldn't do it; she didn't dare to remove the teleportation restriction. If she did, Peroroncino would surely escape.

But without remove the teleportation restriction, she couldn't touch Peroroncino.

Rubedo gave up on using her sprinting skill and tried to approach Peroroncino using her normal speed.

However, with her normal speed, she couldn't bypass Shalltear. She would definitely be intercepted by Shalltear.

But Rubedo couldn't remain passive.

"Albedo, cover me!" Rubedo shouted at Albedo.

Albedo immediately charged toward Shalltear.

"Pure Throwing Spear!"

Shalltear released her special skill.

The white energy short spear hit Albedo, causing significant damage to her.

Rubedo seized the opportunity to try to bypass Shalltear.

"Unclean Shield Impact!"

Rubedo was once again knocked back.

Shalltear had been keeping an eye on Rubedo. At that moment, it was only because Albedo was too close to her. If she didn't counterattack, Albedo would definitely use control skills to restrain her.

Shalltear had no choice but to attack Albedo first to create some distance.

The seemingly ordinary arrow was shot out, and true to its appearance, it seemed plain and unremarkable.

Rubedo immediately backed away, trying to dodge the arrow's attack.

But the arrow seemed to have tracking capabilities, relentlessly following Rubedo.

"Albedo, block this attack for me!" Rubedo shouted.

Albedo hesitated for a moment before replying, "Okay!"

Albedo tried to approach Rubedo.

"Pure Throwing Spear"

Shalltear couldn't just stand by and watch; she immediately attacked Albedo.

"Ah~~~!" Albedo cried out in pain.

"Maximize Magic: Radiant Glory"

"Ah~!! Shalltear~!"

Divine light descended, and Albedo screamed in agony.

"Self Time Acceleration!" After casting the spell, Shalltear charged toward Albedo.

"Spear of Penetration!" Shalltear drew her long spear and thrust it directly at Albedo's face.

Albedo quickly blocked with her axe.

At this point, Rubedo knew it was unlikely that Albedo would help her. She was being completely restrained by Shalltear.

"Do or die!" Rubedo thought to herself as she steeled her resolve.

"Extreme Burst Momentum!"

Rubedo's fists glowed as she slammed them together.

The power of her left hand transformed into an energy form and was completely absorbed into her right hand.

"Boom!"

Rubedo's fist collided with the arrow, creating a violent explosion.

Shalltear and Albedo both instinctively looked toward the source of the explosion.

Both of them knew that whether Rubedo survived or not would determine the outcome of the battle.

Peroroncino was panting heavily.

The skill just now was huge in scope, and it consumed 100% of his mana. If the mana was insufficient, health had to be used to make up for it.

At this moment, Peroroncino's health was already below half.

Peroroncino stared intently at the smoke.

A figure suddenly rushed out of the smoke! Rubedo looked in a terrible state, with one eye blind, her body covered in wounds, and her clothes torn, leaving only a few fragments.

Peroroncino, who had seen many battles, didn't pay attention to such details during the fight.

"Extreme Acceleration!" Rubedo activated her speed enhancement skill.

"Damn it, the skill duration is over!" Peroroncino suddenly realized that the effect of the skill had ended.

And now, with no mana, he couldn't use any more skills.

"Shalltear, come protect me!"

After speaking, Peroroncino flapped his wings and retreated while pulling the Houyi Bow, continuously shooting light arrows.

"Die for me, die quickly!!" Peroroncino shouted as he pulled the bowstring, attacking relentlessly.

Peroroncino's physique was like a fragile glass cannon. With half health and no mana, facing a close-combat warrior was a disaster waiting to happen.

Rubedo, seeing her own health, knew that if she didn't land an attack on Peroroncino this time, she would have no chance left.

"Special skill!"

"Blood Crumble"

Rubedo's body was surrounded by her own blood flowing from her wounds, which gathered into her left fist. Her right fist was completely useless, like rotten flesh attached to her right arm—completely ineffective.

"Self-Time Acceleration!"

Shalltear, in a frenzy, charged towards Peroroncino.

Shalltear didn't have time to use any other skills and could only use her own body to take the blow meant for Peroroncino.

She knew very well that her current speed wouldn't be enough. However, her resolve to protect Peroroncino surpassed everything, pushing her to break her limits.

"Self-Time Ultimate Acceleration!"

In that moment, Shalltear broke through her limits, further enhancing her already rapid speed.

The cost of this was steep—her health began to plummet, dropping at a rate of 1% per second. Shalltear's remaining health was 93% (she was gambling everything in these 93 seconds).

Her speed, which was originally comparable to Rubedo's, now far surpassed it. But since Rubedo had already moved first, Shalltear had to catch up.

Shalltear was ultimately one step too late. The distance between them was almost within reach, but she failed to catch up.

"F*ck you!" At the final moment of his life, Peroroncino couldn't care about appearances. He let go of the Houyi bow, and his fist collided violently with Rubedo's.

Peroroncino could clearly feel the overwhelming force coming from Rubedo's punch.

His arm, which had been used to strike, was shattered into pieces.

Rubedo's fist landed heavily on Peroroncino's heart.

Peroroncino lost consciousness and fell.

Shalltear didn't pay attention to Rubedo as she chased after Peroroncino.

"Attack!" Albedo suddenly said.

A figure resembling Ainz's image appeared.

"Maximize Magic Fireball"

As Peroroncino was falling, his consciousness returned. He looked at the figure of the false Ainz.

"This is clearly a large skeleton wearing a fake robe. It doesn't look like Momonga at all. It can only fool those with poor eyesight," Peroroncino thought to himself.

The fireball grew larger within Peroroncino. At this point, with his health below 1%, he could not withstand the attack, and his nullification ability only worked when he had mana.

"Boom!"

The fireball struck Peroroncino, sending sparks flying.

It was as dazzling as fireworks.

Peroroncino died...

The protagonist is dead, the novel ends, with the final fireworks.

Just kidding.
