OVERLORD: The Second Supreme Being

"Her speed surpasses Yulia's, but her other stats are relatively weak," Peroroncino remarked, observing Clementine's data.

At that moment, Momonga also noticed Peroroncino watching from the sidelines.

Momonga had been aware of Peroroncino's presence ever since he teleported into the area. However, he didn't mind. Knowing Peroroncino's tendencies, he assumed his guildmate was merely here out of boredom.

Momonga swung his massive greatswords, launching relentless attacks on Clementine.

Clementine evaded each strike with ease, occasionally laughing and pulling exaggerated expressions, her face often resembling a comical grimace.

"I'm getting a little tired," Clementine said casually, waving her rapier-like weapon.

"Your physical attributes are strong, but you're just flailing about wildly with all that strength. Are you an idiot?"

"Then come at me. All you've done since the start is dodge, haven't you?"

"If I could, I would have already!"

"What happened to the confidence that no other warrior could defeat you?"

Clementine's eyes grew sharp as she drew the stiletto at her waist.

"Roarrrr!"

A sudden bellow erupted from the direction where Nabe and Khajiit were battling.

"A bone dragon?"

"You know about it?" Khajiit sneered. "Magic doesn't work on it, making it the bane of spellcasters."

Peroroncino shifted his gaze to the distant bone dragon.

"Eye of Insight."

Bone Dragon

Level: 40

All attributes: 500

Passive Ability: Immune to spells below the sixth tier.

"So, that's why you think Nabe can't win?" Momonga asked, glancing toward Khajiit.

"Now, can you close this gap?" Momonga readied himself, holding his twin swords in an offensive stance.

"Guess!" Clementine said, flashing her trademark mischievous grin.

As she spoke, she removed her cloak, revealing her armor: just a breastplate, shoulder guards, gauntlets, and something resembling ultra-short shorts that barely covered her lower body.

Clementine crouched, her body low to the ground, one hand steadying her on the floor.

Suddenly, she accelerated past one of Momonga's greatswords, moving entirely out of its attack range.

Momonga swung his other sword at her, but—

Warrior Skill: Immovable Fortress

When their weapons clashed, Momonga's sword was deflected.

Clementine seized the opening and stabbed at Momonga's shoulder armor, leaving a crack in the plating.

Her eyes betrayed surprise—Momonga's armor was far tougher than she expected, managing to withstand her strike.

Momonga slashed both his swords again, but Clementine lightly leapt back, avoiding his attacks.

"That moment when my weapon was deflected—was that a warrior skill?" Momonga thought to himself.

"So tough! But no matter. I'll just aim for the weaker spots next time," Clementine said, grinning wickedly.

"Such a shame. I was planning to toy with you for a while—maybe slice off an arm, then a leg, and let you watch yourself bleed to death," she added gleefully.

"So, you deliberately aimed for the shoulder? I've learned a lot already!"

Clementine crouched low again and whispered, "Here I come!"

She launched another dash toward Momonga. This time, wary of her movements, Momonga concentrated on her lower body as she approached.

As soon as Clementine came within range, he swung his greatsword directly at her face.

Warrior Skill: Immovable Fortress

Once again, their weapons clashed, and Momonga's sword was deflected.

However, his other sword arced toward Clementine's back.

Warrior Skill: Flowing Speed

Like a slippery eel, Clementine weaved her way between the two swords and thrust her blade toward Momonga's eye socket.

"Hmm?"

Clementine's confusion was evident—there was no blood, no cry of pain.

"Is this all you've got? How dare you challenge Clementine, who has stepped into the realm of heroes?"

"This battle has been enlightening. I've learned about warrior skills and the importance of balance during an attack," Momonga replied.

"Huh? You're only realizing that now? You're unworthy of being called a warrior," Clementine retorted. "But how did you withstand that strike without a scratch? Some kind of defensive skill?"

"Thanks to you, I've come to understand my own shortcomings. But time is precious, so let's end this game," Momonga declared.

Peroroncino turned toward Nabe's direction and shouted, "Narberal Gamma, show them the might of Nazarick!"

"Yulia, let Nabe know not to go too hard. We need that body intact as proof for the Adventurer's Guild later," Peroroncino instructed.

"Understood," Yulia replied and sped off toward Nabe.

Nabe, who had been hovering in the air and preparing her spell, paused.

"Nabe-sama, please be gentle. We'll need the body for proof later," Yulia relayed.

"Understood," Nabe said, turning her gaze toward Khajiit and his two bone dragons.

"You all seem to think magic is ineffective against bone dragons," Nabe began, her voice calm yet confident.

"But to be precise, it's only ineffective against spells below the sixth tier.

Which means it can't nullify higher-tier magic.

And that means it certainly can't nullify my magic, Narberal Gamma."

"Don't be ridiculous. No human is capable of casting seventh-tier magic," Khajiit sneered.

"You seem to be mistaken about something. When did I ever say I was human?"

Nabe clapped her hands together, and a powerful lightning current surged between her palms.

"Maximized Magic: Twin-Chain Lightning!"

The crackling electricity transformed into a twin-headed lightning dragon, obliterating the two bone dragons standing before Khajiit in an instant.

"Impossible! I spent five years preparing for this, only to have it all destroyed in a single moment!" Khajiit exclaimed in despair.

"You should feel honored to serve as a stepping stone for Ainz-sama. It's a great privilege," Nabe said coldly as she teleported in front of Khajiit.

In a desperate move, Khajiit swung his staff at Nabe, but she severed it effortlessly with her spear. The strike didn't stop at the staff; it also cleaved Khajiit's body in two.

..........

Meanwhile, Momonga planted his twin swords into the ground.

"Come at me with everything you've got!" he declared.

"Hmph, acting tough," Clementine sneered.

Faint lights flickered across Clementine's body as she powered up.

She lunged at Momonga with a piercing strike, her speed far surpassing what it had been before.

"He's not moving?" Clementine thought, confused by Momonga's lack of reaction.

"Whatever."

"Die!" Clementine shouted as she plunged her sword into Momonga's eye socket.

She twisted the hilt, activating a mechanism that released a surge of lightning from the weapon's tip.

Electricity crackled violently across Momonga's helmet.

"It's not over yet!"

Clementine pulled out another stiletto from her waist—this one missing its blade tip—and stabbed it into Momonga's other eye socket. She twisted the hilt again.

"Boom!"

A violent explosion erupted from Momonga's helmet.

But amidst the flames, a skeletal hand reached out, seizing Clementine by the neck.

"This is fascinating. Yggdrasil didn't have weapons like this—truly an eye-opener," Momonga said casually.

"No way! How can you still be alive after taking that kind of damage?!" Clementine screamed.

"Allow me to reveal the answer."

As Momonga spoke, his armor vanished, revealing his true skeletal form.

"An undead. The Elder Lich,"

"Now, how do you like fighting a magic caster in close combat?"

"Ahhh! Don't underestimate me!" Clementine shrieked, pounding on Momonga's body, but his grip on her neck remained firm.

"I don't have a habit of tormenting my enemies, so let's end this."

"These things are annoying," Momonga said, pulling the two weapons out of his eye sockets with his free hand.

"You bastard!" Clementine struggled furiously, but it was futile.

With a slight squeeze of his hand, Clementine's eyes rolled back, and her life was extinguished.

........

At that moment, Peroroncino emerged from the shadows.

"So, how did it feel to be a warrior?"

"Magic is still better," Momonga replied.

"Agreed! Once I level my humanoid up to 40, I'm challenging you to a PK match. If I can't beat you with my main account, I'll thrash you with a side one."

"I'll look forward to it," Momonga said as the two headed toward where Nfirea, was being held captive.

"Master! Master!" A frantic voice called out from behind them—it was Hamsuke.

Momonga turned to look at the panicking hamster.

"Wha-what the hell is that terrifying creature?!" Hamsuke exclaimed in shock, cursing loudly.

Boom!

Nabe slammed her foot on Hamsuke's head, embedding it into the ground.

"How foolish."

"Ainz-sama, this lowly creature isn't even worth keeping as a pet," Nabe commented coldly.

"Don't say that. Taming the Wise King of the Forest has significant public relations value."

"Enough about that. Nabe, retrieve all the equipment they have before the other adventurers and guards arrive," Momonga ordered.

"Yes!" Nabe replied.

"There may not be any guards coming. I sent a lich and some undead to attack the city," Peroroncino interjected.

"Most of the guards and adventurers should be defending the walls. After we rescue Nfirea, we should assist the defenders," he added.

By now, the pair had reached Nfirea.

Nfirea's eyes were clouded, indicating blindness.

"Blindness can be cured with healing magic, but it seems he's also under mental control," Momonga said.

"Because of that crown, perhaps?"

"What's this?" Peroroncino said, examining the crown on Nfirea's head.

"High-Level Magic Appraisal," Momonga cast.

"Crown of Wisdom? Although it's not an item from Yggdrasil, it must be destroyed to complete our mission."

"High-Level Item Destruction."

The Crown of Wisdom turned to ashes.
