Chapter 164 Candidate

Clementine appears in front of Nfirea, preparing to kidnap him. The Swords of Darkness attempt to buy time for Nfirea and Ninya to escape, but Khajiit blocks their route of escape, leading to all the members being killed.After registering Hamsuke at the Adventurer's Guild, Momon's group meets Lizzie, and she guides them to her house. However, there they find the Swords of Darkness, who have turned into zombies. After killing them off, Momon investigates their objective, Nfirea. Momon tells Lizzie to hire him and rescue his grandson, to which she agrees.

Momon orders Nabe to use the locator scroll to track where Nfirea is held. Momon discovers an undead army at the cemetery and tells Lizzie to warn the people and the Guild of the threat.

At the E-Rantel Cemetery, the undead army assaults the city gate. The guards try to defend it but are overwhelmed by their sheer numbers. Momon's group arrives and breaks through the undead.

They meet the members of Zurrernorn, who are in progress on using the Death Spiral at the city. Momon then leaves Nabe to deal with Khajiit while he and Clementine leave to take their battle elsewhere.

Momon tells Clementine that he doesn't need to fight her seriously, and their duel begins.

Momon and Nabe begin their respective fights against Khajiit Dale Badantel and Clementine to save Nfirea Bareare. Khajiit summons two Skeletal Dragons that he declares have absolute resistance against 1st to 6th Tier Magic.

Nabe hears his master's command to use the power of Nazarick, and she will no longer fight as Nabe but as Narberal Gamma. She easily obliterates both the dragons and Khajiit with a seventh-tier spell.

Momon continues to give Clementine a handicap and clashes with her repeatedly. Furious at how Momon repeatedly mocks her as a weak warrior, Clementine charges Momon with a full force attack and stabs him in both eyes with elemental strikes.

Momon grabs her with a one-armed bear hug. Ainz reveals his true nature as an Overlord (which she mistakes for an elder lich) and then torments Clementine that she was defeated by a magic caster that didn't even use his magic against her.

Ainz crushes her body with both arms, killing her. Ainz then rescues Nfirea and destroys the Crown of Wisdom. Momon then returns victorious with Nabe, Hamsuke, and Nfirea for resolving the cemetery incident in E-Rantel.

At the inn, Ainz is disappointed with his new promotion with Nabe. He thought they'll at least be promoted to orichalcum rank, but he is content as long as everyone spreads his heroic name across the land.

Ainz then contacts Albedo, who alerts him that Shalltear Bloodfallen has rebelled against Nazarick.

A few hours ago,

In E-Rantel, a young mistress complains about her food, causing a scene at the inn she and her butler are staying. The young lady is actually Solution Epsilon, who alongside Sebastian is posing as members of a noble family from the Baharuth Empire.

Zach, a human the two hired, sells them out to a mercenary group who plan to ambush them outside the city. During a carriage ride to Re-Estize, the two are joined by Shalltear Bloodfallen and her two Vampire Brides. The group has a brief discussion on their creators and Ainz until they are disturbed by a commotion outside.

The Death Spreading Brigade surrounds them and is excited at seeing Shalltear. However, their excitement becomes horror after Shalltear and her vampires begin slaughtering the bandits.

Solution catches Zach, who she consumes into her body. Shalltear and her minions later take their leave from the group to track the bandits and their lair.

At the bandit's base, Shalltear meets Brain Unglaus who challenges her. However, for all his skill and ability, he is unable to land a hit. Shalltear's comments on his Martial Arts drive a point into Brain's ego, causing him to flee.

Seeing that playtime is over, Shalltear reverts to her True Vampire form and continues her massacre of the bandits.

She senses someone outside the base, and it turns out to be a group of adventurers. Shalltear slays all save Brita, who is saved from certain death by her use of a red potion, given to her by Momon.

Shalltear uses mind control on Brita to find out where she obtained such a potion. Upon learning of the information extracted from Brita, she grows confused at the human's explanation and decides to spare the woman as it may be part of Ainz's plan.

Additionally, she is shocked to learn that an adventurer was sent back to E-Rantel.

Furious at her neglect, Shalltear flies overhead and summons several vampire wolves to track the adventurer.

The group of wolves begins moving through the forest until they were all immediately killed.

To her surprise, this prompts her to investigate the cause, where she finds a new group laying in wait. Faced with a new foe, Shalltear dives into the offensive while resuming her monstrous form.

Conjuring Spuit Lance, she attempts to attack but is parried by the leader of the group. Just as she is blocked, the leader orders an old lady in their group to activate her dress.

The magic of the dress glows, and a dragon of light shoots directly at Shalltear. The Floor Guardian senses her mind to be slowly taken over. Before her mind is taken, she manages to throw an attack that kills the wielder as well as her bodyguard.

The group then retreats after realizing the old women and a few companions died, while no one notices two figures floating in the sky looking at everything that happened below.

"Brother, this vampire is so weak and what is with her disgusting form? She can't even sanely attack," Ada spoke thoughtfully.

Eero nodded, then glanced in a direction, "We aren't here for her; instead, we are here for our third candidate."

Ada also glanced in the direction of a male running toward the E-Rantel city direction. "Brother, I guess you are going to use them against that Skeleton," she spoke thoughtfully.

"Oh, you finally got the hang of it. I have a very bad habit; I like defeating opponents in their own expertise," Eero said playfully.

Ada startled, then nodded intriguingly.

"Let's go," he said, then flew toward the running-away Brain Unglaus. Ada followed.
