He continued scouring the forest for more potential monster soul essence. The forest then was stirred with chaos after a monster went on a rampage. Smashing the trees that made them thrown over and uprooted. The birds flew by the distance and then Ainz went on his way toward where the chaos was. He immediately stopped after seeing that there was a Basilisk that was corroded with acid on its back. "Maybe it was attacked by an Abysmal snake," Ainz muttered.He immediately went to see it and it was on the verge of dying. He then saw that the predator was already on his back. An Abysmal snake.Ainz was perplexed and then drew his sword. The enemy then shrieked and Ainz dodged its attack. It used its venomous bite on the Basilisk and then it was poisoned. Ainz then stepped back as he was waiting for the right time to attack.The Abysmal snake and the Basilisk then went into a power struggle. The basilisk clawed the snake's face and then went to bite it. The snake was caught on the neck
Ainz went to visit the forest some more and found out that there were more monsters available to be integrated. He surmised that his white soul realm was still able to house more monsters inside. He then went to the north where the fire salamanders were commonly found and his travel was worth it. They lived in desert lands and the heat was scorching. They breathed fire as Ainz saw them from a distance.As for his plan, he needed to evade such scorching breath and not get burnt. And so, he devised a plan. He immediately sneaked and hid with the use of his camouflage skill from his basilisk skill and then tried to approach one. He then soon leaped and then stabbed the head of the fire salamander and then it wiggled to free from his sword.Ainz in the process was flung and then he rolled to the side. His sword was stuck on the head of the fire salamander. Making him bite his lower lips.He immediately stood up and then the fire salamander breathed fire at him. He dashed to the side an
Choosing a patron God for his martial inheritance technique was indeed hard. As only one God can be chosen. He has to select one as the martial path requires it.As for the available Gods that were still alive, they were numbered 15. Ainz already knew them in the past but choosing one was indeed hard. The Gods have left after making their world and left shrines on the lands. Now, the followers would ask their patronage to acquire their blessings and become their followers. Granting them the powers they needed for them to fight the evil that plagued the lands.There was a God that slaughtered thousands of legions of demons. He earned that title after he found and cultivated the Book of Law of Slaughter. After becoming a God and ascending, he left his shrines in the Land of Ashura and blessed his followers.If one would become his follower, he would grant them the Law of slaughter. Further cultivating the Law into many ranks until one would reach Legendary to Mythical. The same with
Ainz gathered his comrades early in the morning and they responded. As for what they would do, Ainz would have to manage their Martial paths. The teachings of their teachers were not enough and they needed to become stronger as soon as possible. Ainz first gathered the Murim practitioners and they immediately stood up. It would be a task to train them. They were Bernard, Parker, and, Feandal.Outside the courtyard were his friends all ready for his teachings."Listen up folks, I will train you in the path of Murim so rest assured and don't worry. The path of being a murim is not as simple as it seems. It would be an arduous path. First is to train your body to handle the tension of your attacks. A well-built body can execute huge movements and attacks without having great setbacks," Ainz explained then waited for them to ask."So we will train our bodies first?" Bernard asked raising his hands. "Yes! And that will take a lot of time. First, improve your stamina then we will use the
"Morning Ainz!" Randalf said to him.Arthurn opened his sliding door and then groaned. Still squinting his eyes in sheer sleepiness."How are you guys?" Ainz asked."We're good!" said Ralph."Okay let us improve our stamina first. Let's run several laps around the courtyard," Ainz instructed them. They then started to run at a slow pace. Running for ten laps around the courtyard made them start to sweat. As for their stamina, it was slowly depleted. In turn, their lungs expanded, and has more stamina in future battles. John has difficulty coping up with the rest and the others can run steadily without problems. Ainz was also having problems as he didn't have much stamina. He needed to expand his lungs. With many laps around the courtyard, they went panting. Others suggested resting to take a breather. It was then, Ainz agreed.They soon rested and then made push-ups and sit-ups. Every one of them was doing their best in the meantime. It was then, they soon started to gasp air. Seve
Looming forest–the forest that has many diversified flora and houses many herbs for cultivation. It was chilly and dark inside and it was a perfect place for herbs to grow. It also has a few numbers of animals but they were a few. They have baskets on their backs and they were all excited to gather herbs. Ainz then gave his last words before they would leave. Also some whistles too."Remember, don't be reckless. Monsters are still present but there are not many inside. Pair by two's and don't battle the monsters if they are too strong. Also, you have weapons with you and if a battle is unavoidable, then you know the rest," Ainz then wished them good luck."What should we do if something happens?" asked Bernard."Just blow the whistle that I gave you and I will be there immediately," Ainz then patted his back."Okay let's go!" Truin said to them and then led the way."Hmm!" Kniel seconded.They entered the forest and the temperature dropped immediately. With the shade of the trees, th
Carrying the crates as they followed Arthurn made John and Astrid sweaty. The others were carrying the same crates but had different contents. "Seriously, where are we bringing these crates?" asked Astrid while gritting his teeth. He was expressing a pained look as he was carrying those. Others were not exempted from the burden."You will see it soon," Ainz stared in his direction then winked. They can only pout at how vague his reply was. Others wanted to surrender as they couldn't feel their hands anymore. It was heavy indeed!They soon arrived at the tall building with a plaque made of wood. Having inscriptions on it."Welcome to the Alchemy guild!" Ainz said in a welcoming tone. They stepped on the steps upwards of the building and were welcomed by several apprentices. "We welcome our honored guests! What can we help you with dear sirs?" asked one robed apprentice. He bowed slightly with arms in his front. Ainz then coughed and finally spoke, "We would like to submit new form
Arriving at his dorm, they bought meat to have a meal together. Ainz grilled the beef they bought and sprinkled some spices. They soon put the meat on the platter and then sliced it into bits. Adding sprinkles of soy sauce and lemon on the meat. They ate and then were full. Resting a bit for the moment.As they were resting, Ainz gave them one each of the cultivation pills and they ate it. After ingesting, they immediately felt the difference. Surging yet unknown energy to their senses was felt. They soon closed their eyes and focused on their cultivation in the meantime. Ainz also ingested the pill and then sat on a lotus position. Closing his eyes and then focused on breaking through.Their cultivation potential determines how fast their job class will grow, and so, Ainz deeply wanted to hasten his growth. Now with the threat of the great calamity still on the side lurking, it would be best to get stronger immediately. He needed all the help he could get. His breaths were control
The morning was breezy and the cold winds assaulted the village. Battering against the roofs and windows of the houses as the villagers huddled inside. The citizens shivers as fall was coming. Making them prepare for winter for now.Others have prepared already and stocked dry woods and food. Others were warmed inside their houses and were settled while sipping soup.Ainz was not excempted from the cold winds but the training must proceed no matter what. For Ainz, time was gold. It would be a waste if he would just huddle inside his cozy room for now. Also, he was in dire straights if he would just waste time. Minding that enemies would attack anytime soon. And so, he thought that he needed to get stronger as soon as possible. Learning all he needed to know in primordial techniques that he needed to know. As far as his progress was, he was still halfway there. More techniques await!Ainz was in the training field as well as Marvin. He was tasked to train Ainz this time. With the ot
Ainz's training in Voyaging was indeed a fruitful one. The Primordials were already excited for their turn. Well, their turn would come sooner than later. 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
Ragnar was on his high horse to teach his Lord. Making him try his best to impart his knowledge and skills. In the training field, Ainz was first taught the skill types and then their use. He was first briefed about his training this week and it would take time to learn them all.In the past when he was still young, even before the primordial wars where Gods, Demons, and, Humans were still battling, he has not trained in the arts of Primordial techniques. 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
Ainz was in his war room and he was surrounded by the 8 primordials. They looked menacing, all confident, and eager to teach. Apt to do and able to. They all were ready and Ainz was concerned and they were overzealous to teach him. Eyes were sparkling with a burning passion. He was like a cornered rat from a cat. Being taught by them was what was his dream. Now the problem was if they would overdo it. He would be having trouble catching up.He needed to be prepared. Especially his mind and heart. It would soon start and he would be training in their arts. All would be in the right place and at the right time. He would be having a rigorous week ahead. His rest would be short-lived and his peaceful days would have to end shortly. They were ready to let the class begin. As far as Ainz was concerned, they would teach him their techniques and it would be tasking on their part."We will teach you the basics. The Primordial technique was divided into 8 groups of clans that merged. Having
"What? Longevity? How?" They all chorused."I will teach you how first," Ainz winked his left eye. "Follow me then," he said.They all followed him and they went inside his room. "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. They soon started to cultivate and then they all were fast in their progress. Having years of battle experience made them fast to adapt. Although they were a little late compared to those of the outside world. They soon made a breakthrough and they sweated impurities. Making them reach Earth realm stage 2."Continu
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
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
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
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
