The twins could still feel Luke’s kindness.
In front of someone they felt close to, they behaved just like ordinary siblings — soon, they smiled happily and cast away their fear.
Before long, the Guardians began arriving one after another.
“Eh, am I the first to arrive?
Ah… so the shorty Aura and Mare are already here, tsk.”
Although the voice sounded a bit mature, it was still distinctly youthful.
A shadow appeared on the ground, then turned into the shape of a door, and the owner of the voice slowly emerged.
She was wearing a soft-looking black evening gown.
The skirt puffed out widely, her upper body covered by a short open-front bolero adorned with lace and ribbons.
She wore long lace gloves, leaving almost no skin exposed.
The perverts of the guild — both male and female — were strange.
Their chosen heteromorphic appearances were all quite bizarre, but when it came to creating humanoid characters, they were almost all either perfectionists for beauty or obsessed with “moe” designs.
As such, the newcomer was a flawless beauty, easily a 9.9 out of 10 on the scale — though her skin was unnaturally pale.
Her long silver hair was tied to one side, and her face, left uncovered, had deep crimson eyes that glowed with a bewitching delight.
Her apparent age was about fourteen, perhaps even younger — a face combining both cuteness and beauty.
Her chest, however, was extremely “just” — so much so that it didn’t seem to match her apparent age.
“In Nazarick, where teleportation is restricted, haven’t we been told not to use portals unnecessarily?
You could have walked to the arena normally.
So why not just walk, Shalltear?” Aura immediately snapped at her, as the two had a rivalry-like relationship.
Shalltear Bloodfallen, the True Vampire, her elegant and beautiful appearance wrapped around the power of a tyrannosaurus.
She was the Guardian of the first to third floors, with a Karma Value of –450, one of Nazarick’ level 100 Guardians, and the only one to oversee three floors.
“What I do, does it need your interference?” Shalltear only gave a cold smile, then turned her gaze toward Momonga and Luke.
“Ah, my most beloved two masters…”
“Haha, Shalltear, I already have four wives, my harem is basically full for now, and I have no plans to expand it.”
“What a pity.
Shalltear extended her hand toward the side of Momonga’s skull as if to embrace him, then parted her crimson lips, revealing her wet tongue as she licked around her lips and a sweet fragrance wafted out.
Though she perfectly suited the role of a seductive vixen, her apparent age was still far too young.
This “gap moe” contrast was exactly what her creator intended.
Her height wasn’t enough either, even if she stretched out her arms to hug Momonga’s neck, it looked more like she was dangling from his cervical spine.
For the single-dog Momonga, though, this was already very stimulating.
Though he considered stepping back to avoid her, in the end he chose to remain as unmoving as a mountain.
Well… this was classic Japanese man behavior: saying “no” with the mouth, while the body obediently stayed still.
Peroroncino, Shalltear’s creator, was someone who loved H-Games so much that he proudly declared, “H-Games are my life!”
Thus, Shalltear was given a character design overflowing with H-Game vibes…
But that wasn’t all — this perverted guy added all kinds of perverse settings to Shalltear, turning the strongest one-on-one combatant into a complete pervert-girl.
How perverted was this setting?
Do you know why Shalltear loves a skeleton like Momonga and a stitched-up corpse-like Luke?
You think it’s just because they’re her masters?
Too naive, my friend.
The truth is that Peroroncino set Shalltear’s orientation as pansexual!
Pansexual including yuri, yes, lesbian tendencies — hence her having vampire bride “concubines.”
She also had necrophilia, which meant she was “excited” by corpses — Luke, as a body stitched together from corpses, was perfect.
Finally, Shalltear also had osteophilia — a love of bones — which meant Momonga, a skeleton (and technically a kind of “corpse”), triggered her turn-ons perfectly.
That’s why Shalltear nearly reached climax just from seeing Momonga!
Naturally, Aura and Shalltear’s bickering soon exposed the truth about Shalltear’s fake chest.
Yes — that was yet another one of that degenerate Peroroncino’s settings…
Fortunately, Shalltear was practically a newborn, and harbored an extraordinary love and respect toward her “parent” Peroroncino.
Plus, a True Vampire’s aesthetics and worldview were completely different from that of humans.
Otherwise, by human standards, Shalltear’s tragedy would be enough to cry a river under the Great Wall of China. Get faster updates on g.com.
Ainz Ooal Gown’s guildmates were truly a bunch of free-spirited oddballs — every single one of them was “talented,” constantly trolling their children with outrageous settings.
Next, accompanied by a loud “Shut up!”, came Cocytus, the Guardian of the fifth floor — a towering 2.5-meter-tall figure resembling a bipedal insect, with a five-meter-long tail and a body covered in sharp, ice-like spikes.
Cocytus was another level 100 powerhouse, with a Karma Value of +50.
He held a silver halberd in his two main hands, a black-glowing morning star in one of his other hands, and a massive greatsword in the last one.
Exuding a chilling aura, this was Cocytus, the ruler of the Glacier, Guardian of the fifth floor.
Nicknamed… “Big Bug.” Well, that nickname was given by Luke.
Cocytus’ base design was that of a Japanese samurai, so he didn’t have as many bizarre personality quirks as some of the others.
Of course, he had a few — but they weren’t as obvious.
Thus, after a few simple greetings, there wasn’t much more said.
Following that came Demiurge, the Guardian of the seventh floor, and Albedo, the Guardian Overseer, along with the four from the tenth-floor council.
Demiurge stood about 180 cm tall, his skin dark, looking very much like a capable businessman or lawyer but radiating a sinister aura.
Behind him trailed a tail wrapped in silver metal.
He was another level 100 powerhouse, with a Karma Value of –500, completely and utterly evil.
“It seems everyone’s here, Momonga.” Luke looked at the assembled NPCs and said to Momonga.
“Momonga-sama, Luke-sama, there are still two who haven’t arrived.”
A voice naturally infused with the “Command Mantra” spoke — Demiurge.
Because his name was a bit of a tongue-twister, Luke often teased him by calling him “Santiago.”
Later, after his infamous “pasture incident,” he even earned the nickname “Golden Fertilizer Guy.” Of course, since names were given by their creators, Luke couldn’t actually order him to change his name — it was just a friendly nickname.
The “Command Mantra” was a debuff Demiurge carried naturally, just like Cocytus’ frost aura — automatically affecting lower-level creatures.
Of course, no one present was below level 40, so it had no effect here.
So now you can roughly estimate the level of the Lizardman Chiefs in the anime, who froze up just from Demiurge’s words — the strongest among them was barely level 20.
And as for how overpowered Cocytus was?
It was like a max-level warrior storming into a newbie village, mowing everyone down and if you gave him eighteen Endless damage procs, he’d just be even more broken.
