Night came and crickets bathed the surroundings with their songs. Ainz was sleeping soundly as the time that night seemed not to be minded. All were asleep and that was including his parents.

The owls soon hooted and then flew as they saw entities marching inside the forest. The troublesome thing was that some creatures were running and crumpling the leaves on the forest floor.

Shrieks from small creatures soon rang in Ainz's ears and it was loud enough to wake him up.

He was startled in his wake and then stood up in a jolt. His saliva was still drooling from his mouth as he squinted his eyes. He soon wiped his mouth with the back of his hands.

He soon saw from the window, the creatures small and green. Primarily goblins!

'They were already near the house!' Ainz sputtered inside his mind.

He immediately climbed down his crib and then went tip-toeing towards his parents. Entering their room, he grabbed the candle and then saw his sleeping parents.

He woke them up but it was to no avail. They were sound asleep.

"Mama! Dada!" he rubbed their clothes but they just snored and swat away his hands.

'Such irresponsible parents! We're gonna die at this rate! They will only get killed in their sleep!' he cried inside his mind and then looked around.

He then saw a dagger near his father's sword. Grabbing it, he immediately thought that the sword was heavy and was not up to his capabilities yet to lift. With it, he opened the door and locked it. His mind was in a wreck, whether this was bravery or recklessness. Or maybe even both!

He immediately shouted as he proclaimed his presence, "Fear me goblins!" he announced.

The goblins then all halted as he saw him. A child was challenging them as a whole? He even has milk in his mouth! Armed with a dagger and a diaper, he assaulted them head-on.

Ainz then was surrounded by goblins. He was not even blessed with their mercy.

He was slashed by one and then Ainz ducked. Repelling the dagger of the goblin and then slashing its throat. Blood spurted out like a shower.

"Shree?" they all watched in confusion.

"Shree!" this time they were angered.

They assaulted him and he was attacked in all directions. He deflected one slash of the enemy downwards and then slashed its head off. Making it fly apart from the body. He then was smashed with a club but Ainz sidestepped clumsily and he evaded in a hair's breadth. Making him spout baby words as he rotated and hacked its head off.

He then grabbed one and stabbed another one with his dagger on the back and stabbed nonstop. Others were perplexed at what they saw. They didn't know that a human child can be so fierce. It was far from what they understood.

Ainz then went away from the back of the goblin that puked blood and then helplessly stumbled to the ground. Ainz did not even give it mercy as he slits the throat.

One goblin then slashed horizontally and he ducked. He immediately stabbed its back and then twisted it with his dagger. Blood soon flowed and then he pulled the dagger. Smirking at the enemies.

The goblins then were all stepping back as he approached them.

They didn't know that the kid they were facing was a monster. Or should be something that was still sucking on his mom's tits. He then laughed and giggled at them as he ran with his blood-stained dagger. Swaying it and blood scattered on the ground as it drips from the said weapon.

Ainz then attacked them and their shrieks of excitement turned into shrieks of fear. It was such a blundering feeling that they felt.

Ainz then attacked them and they were sliced and hacked. One smashed with its blunt sword that had been dulled and Ainz met him with his dagger. Ainz then met him head-on with his dagger and his last moment was seeing a dagger heading towards his neck. Slashing his neck and then his head flew as the dagger had enough strength to decapitate him.

The others then attacked and he waited for them to approach him. He sidestepped on the one who was aiming to stab him and it hit his comrade instead. Stabbing him made his comrade struck with hopelessness. Ainz then went to decapitate the two and they were hugging each other as he did so.

'With more goblins that struck with fear, the better!' he muttered inside his mind.

Alas, the battle has yet to be finished. But the goblins' smirks turned to desperation. They can't kill the kid they were facing!

Also, he has yet to get drained or get tired. He was still full of energy. Making baby-laughs at them as he stabbed their dead comrades. Such a monster! Such a horrific scene!

They were soon agitated and felt a mix of fear. But still, they had to finish the job. Or else, they can't go home. Not now that they lost too much.

They soon attacked full force and they all wailed as they attacked. Ainz was not even intimidated as they all surrounded him. He immediately ran head-on towards them and attacked with a loud shout. A baby shout that seemed excited accompanied by a giggle afterward.

He immediately clashed his weapon with them and soon, the battle died down.

His father woke up and then went outside. Seeing his son smeared with blood with all those goblin bodies littered around him.

"Dada!" Ainz shouted, blood was still on his cheeks with hands held high to hug him.

"Oh my goodness! My son! Are you okay?" he immediately ran towards him and hugged him. He will never forgive himself if something happens to his son.

"Hun, what's with all that ruckus?" his mother was still squinting his eyes and saw all the dead bodies littered on the ground.

"Oh my!" she covered her mouth in sheer realization.

"Call the guards! We are attacked by goblins!" she shouted.

"Who killed them?" she was left unanswered.

Soon the clan was alerted and they dispatched guards in all directions. Ringing the bells that they were attacked.

Soon, the goblins were eradicated and they all rested that night. Ainz was then washed by his mother and was spanked on the butt.

"Who told you to get outside at night?! You are smeared with blood all over your face!" she spanked him again and Ainz was not feeling rewarded for his efforts. All went down the drain. Still, his parents then were perplexed by such unacceptable reasoning that their child killed a goblin horde. They would still not believe it because it was absurd.

We should recruit more," said the other instructor."What is your plan, dear principal?" asked the female instructor."We can't lower our standards just to have more students. They should have at least the guts to climb a thousand steps. More than that is not acceptable to our standards," he said then folded his arms."Hmm hmm, I also agree.

It would be set in fate, time is only the one to pass.It was afternoon and the sun was about to set. The training ground was a mess with all those duels with Ragnar. Learning basic combat from him was just easy. As Ainz was already a martial arts grandmaster. He was able to defeat Ragnar several times already using the Voyaging skills and fighting style. As for Ainz, his fighting style was honed throughout the years. And it was mixing up now. A bit of a bad habit that Ainz has gained. He was confused as to what he would use. The fencing style was new for him and he still has to learn such style. It was more of a deflect and thrust style. A bit different from a swordsman's way of fighting. Nevertheless, it was still a good style. Ainz rested for a while but the time was of the essence. He immediately told Ragnar to continue their

Making him a newbie to all of it.They were very secretive and he can only train in martial arts for the war and did not have skills. Reaching the blurred realm of martial arts made him kill several Gods and Demons. That was the trump card of humanity as well as the Primordial technique. Making the humans weak but having the greatest potential. Given the time to grow, they could move mountains. Though the end of the war was a stalemate. After all, the parties suffered great casualties, but they all stopped the war. The Demon gods s

"Find a comfortable spot to sit and then we will start," Ainz commanded them.They heeded his advice and then sat on the floor. Others were on his bed. "Okay, then we will start," Ainz then started his instructions, "First was to sense the specks of mana in the body. Next was to absorb it towards your mana core. Slowly, you will absorb the mana in the air. After that, you will expel impurities from your body with every rank up. Easy right?" They soon look at each other and then start to get it.

    Demon-killing Arrays and Demon-stopping Barriers

    Ainz went outside the Lord's Hall and walked towards the three areas where the edges of the village were. He watched and observed while picturing out the imaginary pillars that he would construct.As for the pillars, they were the Demon-killing arrays or the Murim, Elemental, and Integrator arrays. The next ones were the Demon-stopping barriers or the Demon weakening barrier, Monster repelling barrier, and Shield barrier. "This is a good place to put them," he made a square out of his fingers while watching its hole as he looked from afar. He needed to put a contingency plan when it comes to protecting the village. He doesn't know how strong the enemies were. As for these barriers and arrays, it could only protect them from Legend rank enemies and below. As for mythical to god-rank demons, it would not be as much effective. They needed to at least on themselves or from the Gods that ascended. Well, they were all his past comrades and maybe could help in direst times. As for his prow

    Visitors

    Ainz together with his men escorted the visitors toward their village. These men felt domineering and would be seen as strong ones even just at a glance. His men were always looking at them for a moment and couldn't help but be amazed at their looks.The tribes sure have their battle attire and make them look different from each other. As they marched towards the roads, the tribes were having a chit-chat with each other along the road."Eon, can we trust these people?" Leon asked."Maybe, they are the only humans we could ask for help," he replied then coughed."Can we liberate them?" Pain asked, Eon jolted and then replied, "Of course not! Have you seen their patrol groups? They are already that strong!" he then lowered his voice."We should think of them as allies that could fight the common enemy," Eon then patted their backs.They soon arrived at the village and saw a concealing barrier erected. Ainz then opened it and they entered. They were shocked that they already have advance

    Encounter

    Ainz tested the 700 new villagers and they all were assigned to their martial paths and became cultivators. He was in his new Lord's Hall and was in his room. He was sipping coffee that they freshly brewed and was watching the new census of the village population. Frederick entered giving him freshly baked bread. He has a younger look and his wrinkles have disappeared. Ainz thought that it was due to his cultivation that his impurities have washed out from his body. "Sir, your bread," he closed the door and then paved towards Ainz. He had assumed the position of doing the task of being Ainz's butler. "Thanks, Frederick. How's the realm?" Ainz asked."The scouts reported that there was a disturbance in the forest. Seems trouble was approaching," he was looking at Ainz with a more serious look. "I see, let us investigate more," Ainz felt curious and so, he investigated himself. Together with the scouts, they traveled in the forest and scouted while encompassing the realm. The forest

    Battle

    The scouts saw the upcoming army and the villagers saw them up in the hills. The wind was whooshing as they saw them. Having the weather in a chilly and shady atmosphere. The flags fluttered as the demons carried them. Making them seen as having protruding poles in their vast formations. The drums beat again as they started to march. Other demons were in the skies and they flocked toward them. The General was on the skies, armored with golden full-plated armor. Watching the vast village that he could liberate. He was thinking of making them punished for their insolence and they should not return to them as slaves once more. Their deaths would pay the price of angering them. "Kill them!" the general shouted.They soon attacked from the air and the land. Both forces were in a thousand. Thinking of their numbers, it would be a tough fight. Ainz then saw them and the cultivators were only numbered 300 plus. It would be a total disadvantage if they would only rely on their numbers.But
