OVERLORD: The Second Supreme Being

At night, the high-ranking officials in the city were discussing how to handle the upcoming battle.

The Sorcerer King was also present at the meeting, but adventurer Chino was nowhere to be seen.

Yulia replaced adventurer Chino to attend the meeting.

"Today, we have successfully withstood the first wave of the fierce attack from the demi-humans. I would like to thank the four individuals who made outstanding contributions."

The four individuals were as follows: Yulia, the adventurer from the Sorcerer Kingdom, who led the defending soldiers to break out of the city and utterly defeat the Orc army.

She also killed one of the Ten Elites of the demi-humans, the King of Stone Apes.

Next was the Holy Knight, Remedios, who killed the well-known King of the Goatfolk, Buser. As expected of the strongest Holy Knight, wielding the kingdom's greatest treasure.

Upon hearing this, Remedios's face suddenly became awkward, because there was a huge crack on her holy sword. If she fought again, it was likely to break.

The other two were companions of Lady Yulia, but they did not attend.

"Lady Yulia, do you have anything to say?" Caspond asked.

"You shouldn't be thanking me; you should be thanking His Majesty, the Sorcerer King. All of our strength comes from His Majesty, the Sorcerer King," Yulia replied.

"Huh? Why are you putting everything on me?" Momonga looked at Yulia, completely confused.

"Then, we thank you very much, Your Majesty, the Sorcerer King!" After Caspond spoke,

Other generals and nobles also voiced their gratitude.

"Thank you! Your Majesty, the Sorcerer King!"

The Sorcerer King nodded in response to everyone.

"Next, we will discuss how to deal with Jaldabaoth..."

"No need for discussion, Jaldabaoth is here!" The Sorcerer King directly interrupted Caspond.

Boom!

A large hole was smashed into one of the walls of the meeting room. Countless people were struck by flying debris and were injured to varying degrees.

Remedios drew her holy sword and swung it at Jaldabaoth. However, the moment her sword made contact with Jaldabaoth, it broke.

"Foolish humans, your pathetic strength is completely useless against me."

Saying this, Jaldabaoth punched Remedios, sending her flying, crashing heavily into the wall. Remedios spat out a mouthful of blood.

"The only one here who can threaten me is the Sorcerer King! The rest of you are just ants I can crush at any time."

Looking at the broken holy sword in her hand, Remedios thought of Neia's weapon.

"Whatever it takes, I must get revenge on Jaldabaoth!" Remedios cried out in her heart.

"Your Majesty, the Sorcerer King, please lend me a weapon capable of defeating Jaldabaoth!" Remedios said to the Sorcerer King.

"I refuse. I don't need a weakling like you to hold me back."

Hearing the Sorcerer King's words, Remedios sat on the ground, murmuring to herself: I am weak...

"Sorcerer King, we can't fully unleash our strength here. How about we fight outside the city?" Jaldabaoth said, looking at the Sorcerer King.

"Alright!"

Jaldabaoth flew out of the city first.

The Sorcerer King quickly followed.

Suddenly, a huge explosion was heard in the distance.

"Hahaha! Sorcerer King, in order to avoid accidentally hurting those humans, you so easily walked right into the trap I set for you. Your mercy will be the thing that costs you your life."

Jaldabaoth's voice came from the horizon.

The people inside the city now understood why the Sorcerer King had followed Jaldabaoth out of the city.

They recalled everything the Sorcerer King had done for them: first, helping them conquer the city, then having his adventurer subordinates assist in healing the wounded and protecting the city.

Finally, he even entered a dangerous place for their safety.

"Everyone, the Sorcerer King cannot lose! The Sorcerer King is invincible! He absolutely cannot lose!"

Neia spoke to the gathered Holy Knights.

"Neia is right; the Sorcerer King absolutely cannot lose!" Yulia echoed.

After Yulia spoke, many others immediately chimed in:

"Yes! His Majesty, the Sorcerer King, absolutely cannot lose! His Majesty will surely return victorious."

"The Sorcerer King will win!"

"The Sorcerer King will win!"

More and more people joined in the chanting.

Seeing this scene, all the nobles and generals looked displeased. After all, they were the ones in power, yet their subordinates placed so much faith in someone from another country.

However, Caspond's mood was quite good. He even smiled quietly when no one was looking.

That was a genuine smile from the heart.

......

On the Sorcerer King's side:

After using a few particularly flashy skills against the Sorcerer King, the Wrath Demon General stopped attacking.

The Wrath Demon General obediently stepped aside.

A portal appeared, and Shalltear and Pandora emerged.

"Pandora, did you bring the world-class item with you?"

"Of course, Lord Ainz! I've equipped the world-class item [Calm Mind] as per your instructions." (With this item, all damage received is reduced by 10%, and it can nullify three skill attacks.)

"Pandora, from now on, you and Shalltear will stand guard. Report any unusual activity to me immediately!"

"Yes, Lord Ainz!"

"Shalltear, the same goes for you!" Peroroncino said to Shalltear.

"Then let's begin in ten seconds!" Peroroncino said, looking at the Sorcerer King.

"Let's use this watch to time it," the Sorcerer King suggested.

"Alright!"

Peroroncino and the Sorcerer King flew into the air.

"Momonga-oniichan, the time is up!" the watch announced in a cheerful Bukubukuchagama voice.

"Shadow Form Nullification!" Peroroncino was the first to activate a skill.

"Teleport Trap!" The Sorcerer King immediately cast a spell.

Whoosh!

Peroroncino launched the first attack.

A light arrow shot straight toward the Sorcerer King.

"Magic: Maximum Strength Severance!"

A blade of light slashed toward Peroroncino, cutting through the arrow in its path.

"Wind's Blessing!"

Peroroncino activated a special skill, significantly boosting his speed and successfully evading the Severance attack.

"Holy Arrow Rain!"

Peroroncino shot a single light arrow into the sky, which summoned a magical circle above.

Countless light arrows rained down toward the Sorcerer King's position.

"Magic: Maximum Strength Thousand Bone Spears!"

From the ground, numerous bone spears erupted, intercepting and canceling out the descending light arrows.

"Starburst Arrow!"

A crimson arrow shot out at incredible speed, heading straight for the Sorcerer King's position.

"Greater Teleportation!"

"Boom!"

The spot where the Sorcerer King had just been erupted in a violent explosion.

"Trick Arrow!"

Peroroncino launched another attack—a snake-like arrow winding its way toward the Sorcerer King.

"I can't keep letting him dictate the flow of the battle!" the Sorcerer King thought to himself.

"Tenth-Tier Magic: Summon Skeleton Battle King!"

A dark shadow appeared on the ground as a massive skeleton emerged from the earth.

Its entire frame was made of pristine white bones, clad in a striking red cape. In its hands was an enormous, ornate greatsword, and atop its head rested an imposing crown.

"Is that Momonga's strongest undead summon?" Peroroncino muttered, staring at the towering Skeleton Battle King.
