Overlord (オーバーロード)

Your Highness, I'm sorry for intruding so late at night.

Since my captor is here to see me...

It seems the Kingdom has fallen.

Yes, probably so.

We've lost all contact with the royal army

and none of the messengers we've sent have returned.

King Zanac's whereabouts are also unknown.

You fool.

Barbro wasn't enough.

Even you had to go before your father...

I am relieving everyone in the castle of their positions.

They may still have a chance to escape if they use the veil of night.

I understand.

You are included in that order.

But, Your Majesty...

I will stay and meet the conqueror as the last king of this kingdom.

Aren't we being a bit too noisy?

Maybe. All this noise might offend the emissary.

Hey, am I still supposed to wait here like this?

It seems like you've gathered all the members of the Eight Fingers in the various rooms...

When will this Sorcerer King show?

Cocco Doll!

H-His Majesty! I got it!

We'll have the Sorcerer King's emissary take a look at you.

It may not look like it, but I'm actually pretty thankful.

I just don't get why you'd break a has-been like me out of prison...

What are you trying to say?

I don't have any power or connections anymore.

Aren't you being a little too generous to a guy like me?

What's your goal here?

What are you saying, Cocco Doll? No, Amipetif.

You're one of us.

Okay, I'm asking this seriously.

Are you really Hilma? Hilma Cygnaeus?

You're not a monster wearing Hilma's skin, right?!

Have I really changed that much?

Yeah. It's like you're a completely different person.

You're all so weird! You even started some kind of fad diet or something!

You guys have all got to be monsters wearing their skin!

It just shows how much we've been through.

What happened to you guys?

Huh?

I've come to retrieve all of you before we annihilate the royal capital.

It seems you have about a thousand people.

Please bring all of them here immediately.

Yes!

Shadow Demon.

U-Um, we'd like to introduce someone before Olin brings everyone here.

If you have some time...

Let's transport all the luggage first.

I'll have all of you live here for the meantime.

We've stocked enough food for you, so there shouldn't be any problems.

You must be one of the leaders.

Y-Yeah. Er, yes. What do you need?

You need to be taken to Kyouhukou's room.

Huh? Ouch!

Gate!

Help me!

N-No way...

Yes. Yes. Let's go.

Wait. Wait. Hold on!

I don't want to! Help!

We couldn't save Cocco Doll.

It can't be helped.

He won't die. We should just think of this as a kind of baptism.

He'll understand.

You're right.

Thank you very much, Your Majesty the Sorcerer King.

Delay Teleportation.

Body of Effulgent Beryl.

Life Essence.

Mana Essence.

Now, is it time?

This will be their last chance if they plan to make a move.

I'll begin as planned.

Yeah. Our goal is to collect information.

Make sure not to kill him.

I know. What about you?

I'll be sure to fulfill my role brilliantly.

Just make sure to do your part.

Of course.

Oh, excuse me. Please leave it to me, Lord Ains.

Chain Dragon Lightning, huh?

How insolent! State your name!

Go, Albedo! Don't let him escape!

Yes!

I could catch up easily on my War Bicorn...

Goodness.

Does he really think I'm so blind that I can't tell what he's doing?

But how far does he plan to go?

We've gone a long way.

Hmph. Let me test your strength.

Oh, my. To think he'd attack with projectiles that aren't imbued with magic...

What a mistake.

Of course.

Once anyone realized physical projectiles don't work,

they'd switch to attacking with magic.

No damage...

Maybe it's not attack magic, but instant death magic?

Do you really think I wouldn't be able to resist such low-tier magic?!

Huh?

He's so weak! He's like tofu!

What a rude man.

No, you're a coward that doesn't even state your name.

That kind of rudeness should be expected from someone as offensive as you.

What are you prattling about, slaughterer?

Oh? I thought you were some savage that didn't understand the language of humans...

Well, the people of the Kingdom should be considered the same as brainless savages,

shouldn't they?

You have a bad mouth, Prime Minister Albedo of the Sorcerer Kingdom.

You used such a minor incident

to invade another kingdom. You're the savage ones here.

No, you've all been hideous monsters from the start.

You massacred innocent people and went around destroying cities and villages.

I'll just let him happily say all he wants to say here...

Do you really think such an action is forgivable?!

She's taking a while.

I can't believe that he'd really work completely on his own...

Explode Mine!

Did you think I would stand here without taking any precautions?

Life Essence.

It seems he has a lot of HP left...

But no MP at all...

Seems like he's a genuine warrior.

Do you understand?

Skeletons are normally weak against physical attacks.

But do you think I would be foolish enough to ignore such a weakness?

In other words, physical attacks have no effect on me!

World Isolation Barrier.

His HP dropped a lot just now.

I'll forgive you for the surprise attack.

I believe you know my name,

but allow me to introduce myself.

I am the Sorcerer King Ains Ooal Gown.

Now, will you respond with your own name?

Riku Aganeia.

Hm, that's a name I've never heard before...

However, your platinum armor seems familiar.

There was a nameless warrior among the Thirteen Heroes

that was known for the platinum armor he wore.

You said your name was Riku Aganeia.

May I call you Riku?

No.

My apologies. I must have sounded too familiar.

Then, how about Aganeia?

That's fine.

I see.

So, Aganeia, I have a proposal for you.

How about becoming my subordinate?

No.

Take it into consideration. I'm currently gathering the strong.

If you work under me...

I don't mind stopping my attack on the Kingdom.

You are worth more than a country like this.

He doesn't seem to care about what happens to the Kingdom.
