Chapter 213 ~ Wish The Throne of Kings. Carved out of a single obsidian, the jet-black throne, which back reached up high into the tall ceiling, sat as the most magnificent and majestic object within the Grand Throne Room of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick. By clearing and conquering the Great Tomb of Nazarick, a level 80+ dungeon in one attempt, Ainz Ooal Gown was rewarded with the Throne of Kings as a trophy. When the user sits on the Throne of Kings, a buff can be seen on their status screen. What appeared on the user's status screen are the statistics of its allies inside the Great Tomb of Nazarick, whether they're alive or under the influence of an unknown power/effect. It also gave those who sat upon it the ability to watch and oversee the areas within the underground tomb in real time. Moreover, it also had the ability to defend the tomb against any kind of divination magic from the enemy that was used on them, activating countermeasures in its defense system as a response to the enemy. The defense system possesses several layers of protection, which contributed to what made Nazarick an impregnable fortress when it comes to protecting the tomb from external attacks outside. Its function, however, was only secondary to why it was regarded as one of the most important items of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick. To Momonga, an item filled with the brightest and happiest of memories of when he and his friends would traverse and challenge the dungeon, and attain victory together. While to the “NPCs”, it was a symbol of power, of divine and secular rule over the entirety of Nazarick and its denizens. All should kneel before it, until they were granted the permission to rise by the Supreme Beings. And now, Shalltear kneeled before the Throne of Kings. The reverence she held for the symbol of Godhood that ruled over her mind, body, and soul was etched deep into her heart. However, even more than that, her true reverence and loyalty lay in the Supreme Being who sat upon it, as well as those who stood by its side. While the World Item emanated a holiness that Shalltear believed could never exist within the world outside of Nazarick, its presence was almost minuscule when compared to the Supreme Beings who truly owned her very soul and loyalty. To Yuuji and Aika’s side, Albedo stood on the steps slightly below the platform where the Supreme Beings stood. A beautiful smile spread across her lips, one that had always existed as part of her visage. However, something seemed a bit different from the brief glance Shalltear saw of her. Her familiarity with the succubus allowed her to notice the minute differences in her otherwise perfect, masked expression. In addition to her instincts as a woman, Shalltear noticed something more profound and deep hidden behind the mask of smile she wore on her Goddess-like countenance. There was a sense of happiness, fulfillment, and... profound bliss. Though, that was all she could glaze over before she kneeled and shifted her attention towards the Supreme Beings. Behind her, two males kneeled with absolute reverence as they hung their heads as low as they could, unworthy to meet the gaze of the Supreme Beings before them. And behind them, the rest of the Black Scripture similarly kneeled in silence. “Raise your head, Shalltear.” Shalltear obeyed the command from the Overlord of Death and met the gaze of the twin blazing orb of fire that sat within depths of his skull. “Firstly, I am glad to find you uninjured during your mission. While the threat you’ve encountered was predicted by us, you still faced it with great bravery, determination, and loyalty. You did well” “I am only here thanks to your generosity and kindness for lending me the World Item, Billion Blades! Without it, I could not even begin to imagine the horror and nightmare of what would happen if the weapon of these insects managed to affect me. For it, I am eternally grateful to you!” A low grunt of acknowledgement resounded as Ainz nodded towards her. “I will allow you to have two days of rest before you return to your mission and rejoin Sebas and Solution in Re-Estize. But before that, I would like you to recount the events that happened last night.” “Yes!” Shalltear recounted every single detail of the event that happened, starting from the moment her carriage was stopped by sellswords to the moment she entered the gate to return to Nazarick. She did not miss a single detail, even if they would highlight her failure and the lack of control over herself she showed during her Blood Frenzy state. When she was done, she hung her head low once more, ashamed and fearful for what the Supreme Beings would think of her negligence and failure. Especially Yuuji-sama. And because of that, she did not see him going down the stairs towards her to pull her into his embrace. “Thanks to you, Yuuji-sama... I never felt better! As expected of Yuuji-sama~!!!” He nodded as his lips curled into a smile. Then, after one last caress of her cheeks, Yuuji stood back up and returned to his place to the right of the throne, leaving Shalltear longing, yearning, and wet for his touch. Her eyes never left his figure, which caused her to miss Momonga and Lelouch’s impressed expressions and Aika and Albedo’s proud faces. “Ahh... Ahem. Once again, I'm glad you are fine, Shalltear. After something like a Wish... I don’t think any affliction or injury could have lingered within you.” Momonga looked at Yuuji with a look of shock, taken aback by the miracle that just happened he didn’t know Yuuji could do. “Yes! Thank you very much!” “Now then, about the group you’ve captured...” Momonga shifted his gaze towards Lelouch, who stood to his left. “I’ve used my geass on all of them. They’re all under my command. And as we planned, we’ll have them return to their own nation and act as spy and, when the time comes, a trojan horse.” Momonga nodded in acknowledgement. “But we can’t very well let them keep something like a “World Item”. It’d be too dangerous. Moreover, that world item...” ‘...Would be needed to complete our mission.’ Momonga did not utter the last part of his sentence in the presence of those present in this chamber aside from his friends from the chat group. And it was unnecessary for him to, as Lelouch understood what he meant. “Of course. We will be taking the World Item. Shalltear had killed some of them, and we can injure the rest to make it seem like they’ve gone through a battle of life and death only to live by a sliver of their life. Then, we can make up just about anything that they had “faced” and let Providence take the credit for defeating it.” With the ranger Shalltear “missed” returning to E-Rantel with news of a terrible vampire running loose around the area where the Black Scripture was, everything would fall in place for them. ‘Just as we’ve planned...’ A sense of relief and assurance filled their hearts when everything they’ve so carefully planned finally fell into place. Now, all they needed was to execute it and their missions would be completed one after another. Perhaps, even the bonus missions. “Albedo, please take some of them who would’ve “died” in the battle and extract any kind of useful information you can from them. Then, assign some shadow demons and spies along with the rest on their way back to the Theocracy.” “Yes, my lord.” Albedo bowed at the twelve-winged Fallen Angel and the brightest mind of Nazarick as he turned towards Shalltear. “Shalltear, injure those who will be returning to the Theocracy, but not to the point of disability or death. We need them to still be capable of fighting. Then, you may return to your mission with Sebas and Solution in Re-Estize.” “Understood, Lord Lelouch.” Shalltear lowered her head once again. “We will join you in Re-Estize, though in our adventurer’s persona. Our reputation as heroes, especially after becoming Adamantite, will help you establish yourself amongst the high society. I will look forward to it.” “Me too~” Shalltear’s eyes sparkled in excitement as she looked up towards both Yuuji and Shalltear, and nodded. “Yes~! I look forward to it as well, Lelouch-sama, Aika-sama~!”
