Chapter 337 - 65: Gathering (II)

"Oh my, it looks like I'm the fourth one to arrive.", Shaltear's voice suddenly said. Her figure then emerged from the dark gate, arriving next to Aura, Mare and the armored Albedo. Albedo looked at her, and nodded her head as she saw Shaltear's current appearance. He inwardly accepted her, as she was going all out too.

As for her current look, she was wearing her bloody red valkyrie-like full plated armor, letting her white wings extend outward. This armor didn't really have a name, as it was dubbed as Shaltear Bloodfallen's Armor. Shaltear herself didn't have wings, her armor made it as an extension, which was likely done through a Cash Item. It was as if she was covered in blood.

As for her armor, it was only a Legendary piece of equipment, but don't let fool anyone. Her equipment was on par with Divine gear. Only Divine gear was said that could actually damage it. She had a large lance equipped in her right hand as well, that was even taller than her. This was Shaltear's infamous Spuit Lance. This was a Divine item, and very powerful one at that, especially for a close fighter such as herself. She excelled at close range.

The key ability to this lance that made her so powerful up front was her seemingly endless hp recovery upon contact, basically the drain ability one finds in many classic rpgs. As long as Shaltear does damage, she basically recovers it all back as her own health. This was built in accordance to her character, being a vampire. Vampire are known as blood-suckers, who steal vitality from humans to extend and refurbish their own. That concept was put into this lance when Peroroncino gave it to her.

Yet despite looking all geared up, Shaltear appeared to move at a slow pace. And if one looked closely, she could be seen limping lightly with one of her legs. Aura took note of this and spoke out to her with a grin.

"Took you long enough, stupid Shaltear. Did you eat to much to be like this? Haha!"

"Can it, shorty. I'm in no mood right now. Oh...", Shaltear said, letting out a low groan, slowly making her way to to the three. 'It's still squirming around inside...', Shaltear uttered to herself with her cheeks slightly red.

"...Are you alright?" Aura's demeanor changed, appearing worried this time.

"I'll manage. Lord Nao is summoning us so of course I will make it. This will be our first mission since Lord Nao and his family decided to stay with us until the end.", Shaltear said, trying to smile.

"You're right, Shaltear. Aura, stop playing around. Don't forget Shaltear is now on the first day of her own trial. if possible I'd like you to keep your little arguments with her as minimum as possible.", Albedo said through her armor. She then asked another question. "But besides that, are your beasts ready to head out at any given moment, Aura?"

"You're right, Albedo. And yup! My beasts and I are ready to roll out! According to the Valkyries we arrived in an unknown land, right?"

"We did. That's why we are taking this extra step as we don't know what is down there on the surface. Mare you're ready to cast your spells, aren't you?"

"I-I Am! My wand is ready when you need me."

"Good. Then let us wait for the rest to arrive. We aren't the only ones who serve Lord Nao here.", Albedo said to the three, which they nodded back.

Aura, Mare, Albedo and Shaltear then walked forward closer to Nao, only to stand in line off to the right, waiting. Nao inwardly nodded seeing this. Elsa was closely monitoring Shaltear, and was pleased with her current appearance. It appeared she taking this seriously, despite her light limping. Elsa thought of moving the switch's level up a notch, but decided to turn it off at this time.

Shaltear didn't reveal any expression on the outside, maintaining her calm demeanor, but on the inside, she let out a l.e.w.d relieved expression inside her head the moment it stopped wiggling inside her. Elsa was pleased at this too. She knew the servants were likely going to perform that ritual of fidelity that was shown in the original story, to express their loyalty. That's why Elsa had Tights go round up everyone, including the girls. She didn't want Shaltear to mess it up either, so she turned off the rotor.

Only a few minutes passed in silence while the four stood by. Before long, two more Gates appeared not too far away. One revealed a slender yet stern long silver-haired haired woman wearing a pure obsidian one piece armor that had green highlights covering her c.h.e.s.ts and legs. But unlike her Marvel counterpart, this armor revealed a lot of her pale white skin. She did not have those crazy extensions coming out of her headcap though, instead, a silver-crested jewel could be seen embedded in it. Her skin was similar to Shaltear's too.

A pair of black sheathed swords could be seen equipped at her waist. If one looked closely, each blade tip was highlighted in violet, and it appeared to be radiating a faint violet glow.

This was Hela of course, the one humanoid npc under Nao's direct control, not a created one like Brynhildr and the Valkyries. Well, one can think of that she was created by him, though if one were to fet technical, Hela was created by Yggdrasil's System. She is an ex-boss so to say, so it would that Eve was her real creator. But Nao was the one who bestowed Hela the body of an npc. It's rather confusing to say the least.

Hela wasn't alone. The other portal that showed up revealed a bust and l.u.s.trous blondes six-winged Angel. She had a similar body suit of armor to Hela's, but hers was emerald green with snowy-white lining around her curves. Her b.r.e.a.s.ts were quite larger compared to Hela's too. She even had emerald strands in her hair. She wielded a three pronged spear, essentially a trident. She was the only six winged angel of the Valkyries. Those beneath her only had two to four.

This was Brynhildr, leader of the 13 Valkyries, and is the npc Nao had full creation of.

The four saw Hela and Brynhildr appear and walked toward them. Hela appeared quite fierce and decided to speak out with a firm tone.

"So you lot know how to get properly attired. Color me impressed."

"Indeed. We are about to have a bout of honor and loyalty. If I find any one of you with even a slightest waiver, I will have your head.", Brynhildr said with a commanding cone and a serious look in her eyes. She then pointed her trident at Aura, Mare, Albedo and Shaltear, who nodded back at her. Brynhildr then spoke out. "Now, who is the one we serve?"

""Lord Nao!"", the four immediately responded with no hesitation.

"That's right. You lot may have different creators but you must never forget it is Lord Nao who is the one we ultimately serve, as well as being the man we love. It was also Nao's decision of letting him and his family stay behind with us.", Brynhildr spoke out, continuing.

"And as a result, we are now in an unknown place, no longer in the lands of Yggdrasil we once knew. Lord Nao assigned me and my sisters to scout it, and it I can determine it is a new land ready to be explored to our hearts content. The rest will arrive shortly, and they were able tk confirm we weren't the only ones who stayed behind. We discovered the Great Tomb Of Nazarick."

"Nazarick...Isn't that home to that powerful skeleton mage who is well acquainted with Lord Nao?", Albedo asked.

"He is. However, with unknowns all around us, we do not know if Momonga is now our enemy or not. It would be nice if we could unite our efforts against this, but as you lot can see, we will be receiving our first orders from Nao momentarily, once my sisters arrive. We also need to wait for our ladies."

"Understood. We will continue to stand by."

Brynhildr nodded her head as Hela stayed silent. The two then joined the line at its head.

"Brynhildr can be so serious, can't she?", Nao uttered to Elsa.

"But that's how you created her, right? Besides, you appointed her as the leader of the Valkyries, but since coming into the New World, it seems she took up the role of being the leader to all of our npcs."

"Yeah, that seems to be the case. It'll be a big responsibility, but they do need a leader, just like how Albedo led the Floor Guardians. It will be Brynhildr's time to lead the npcs. She will be able to act directly on my behalf."

"Mhm. It seems the rest are arriving now too."

As Elsa said that, another single Gate appeared, and before long, twelve varying Valkyries, all wielding spears and dressed in white plated armor. Like Brynhildr each one of them had different colored strands of hair which let one distinguish them from the others. One by one they poured out of the Gate, aligning themselves into positions as if they knew what position they held. Aura, Mare, Albedo and Shaltear ended up being at the tail end of the line, but they didn't let out a single complaint.

Nao was pleased by this sight, and nodded inwardly. He was ready to give his first orders to them, but he had to wait for his girls and brothers to come. Thankfully he didn't have to wait long, as he started to hear many sounds of shuffling feet.

The first figure appeared from the long staircase, and it was actually Aht, who was currently being supported by Eir. The reason? Aht's belly was quite swollen by this point, it was pretty round. It was as if her pregnancy was due very soon.

Behind those two stood Miya and Chelsea, wearing their red qipao and black kimono respectively. Sayuri and Isabella came in after them. Sayuri wore her white two piece combat dress letting her three tails happily swing behind her. Isabella wore a white tuxedo, letting her clothes cling to her curves.

After those two, Fie, Chronoa, and Towa made their way next, wearing their usual clothes. A posh kai robe for the two Supreme Kais. Towa was wearing her Darkness Towa attire instead of her usual red bodysuit and lab coat.

After those three came Caulifla and Kale, who both seem to have a more m.a.t.u.r.e air around them. It was as though they were proper ladies now, but when they were alone with Nao and the others, Caulifla would still show her mischievous side. The girls joined up next to Elsa on the left side of the throne.

After those two, Vados, Michael and Dabura brought up the rear. Vados and Michael joined the girls on the left while Dabura made his way to the right. These were the last figures to join Nao from the DBZ Plane.

Next up came Lippti and Nemesia, and Lippti held onto Nemesia's hand, appearing a bit shy being in such a large group of people. Nemesia still had her calm demeanor, wearing her usual witch outfit as Nemesia did her robe.

These two joined after Nao and his family left the DBZ Plane. And they were the only two to join during that small interim between planes, besides Michael.

Bukubukuchagama, aka Iris, Tabula Smaragdina, aka Suzaku, and Peroroncino, who actually decided to forego his past name, and kept Peroroncino as his true name. This action of his did upset Iris quite bad but she knew it was his decision to make, and slowly accepted it.

Once Peroroncino who was the last of the family to make their way up, the moment he went passed Brynhildr, Brynhildr signaled those that were lined up at the side.

Just like how Sebas and the Pleiades followed Ainz in single file to his throne just as the timer to the transfer struck down, Brynhildr's line followed the family in single file as well, before gathering around the throne in front of Nao.

And last but not least, Tights appeared, with a confused Eydis in tow. Eydis looked at everyone in shock, as to her this scene made it as if a King and Queen was about to address their people.

"So Miss Eydis, what do ya think of our family? Do ya think ya can fit in with the others?"

"It's very...imposing to say the least. Are you sure this Nao person isn't a ruler of some sort?"

"Not at the moment. Though Nao could if he wanted to."

"I see. And I'm stuck here either way. There are a lot of pretty girls here on Alice's level too, I think I can fit in.", Eydis replied, putting her elbows at her waist, puffing out her c.h.e.s.t.

Tights chuckled seeing Eydis respond like this.

"Just as another reminder, Miss Eydis, every girl you see here in this room besides yourself are part of Nao's women. Including me."

Eydis blinked hearing that before responding in surprise.

"Wait, even the servants are part of his?"

"Yes, even the servants are Nao's women. We will strive hard to try and find a way back for ya, but it may be a while, as we already have two more destinations after explorin' the New World.", Tights replied with a nod.

"But if ya do happen to form yer own bond with Nao in the future during yer stay here, the moment ya step foot into our main bedroom when our nights begin, ya will be treated his woman too. Understand?"

"Main bedroom off limits, got it. Nao is such a lucky guy having all these beautiful girls around him.", Eydis said with a chuckle.

"Pardon me for askin' this too, but from the way I've seen ya behave so far, ya like girls, don't ya Eydis?"

"Hehe, was it that obvious to see? Yes, I do like girls. But it's not like I don't like men either. And as much as I love Alice, I haven't found my special someone yet. But I do have a little sister named Mary waiting for me back home."

"Ya have a little sister? This is quite troublin' if she's alone now."

"You needn't worry about Mary, Miss Tights. She's a strong little gal, it's a shame Her Eminence erased my memory of her before joining the Knights, but thankfully I was able to recover some of them. I did make rounds to home to check up on her before arriving in this place, but Miss Fanatio knows to look after her while I'm away."

"Sounds like ya got it covered then. Let's not tarry any longer. Ya will get to see a good sight now."

Eydis chuckled before speaking once more.

"Whatever it nay it, it does sound exciting with everyone gathering like this!"

A/N : Aht here. Here is the next chapter!

A small announcement to make.

I've decided to go ahead and create my second fanfic : A Reincarnated Tale : Pokémon !

The vote of the poll was to see whether you guys wanted the next Pokémon World to be its own fanfic or not, and most of you voted no. The Pokémon Plane will continue to be next in this fanfic after the Overlord Plane, too!

That won't change!

But even then, I still felt like spreading my wings out to create a 2nd fanfic! And I decided to do it!

This 2nd fanfic will have no relations to my first fanfic. It's story will be different with an all new cast of characters. I'm currently underway of writing the first 15k words.

I'm planning to upload all 15k words at once once the week resets on Sunday. I will not be one of those scrubs who upload 15k filler chapters to be put on the ranking.

This 2nd fanfic will not impact any release speed my 1st fanfic has. My 1st fanfic will still do its 2-3 chapters a week.

And going into my 2nd fanfic a bit it will have :

No System

No Harem

1-2 love interests (1 decided by me, 1 decided by you readers)

1 small ability (easier time to befriend Pokémon)

MC will use his own knowledge to make a name for himself in the Pokémon World. Be on the lookout for A Reincarnated Tale : Pokémon which I'm planning to drop this Sunday. The cover is live for those who want to see who the first main girl will be!

But that's it for my announcement. Hope you guys will look forward to it!

Don't forget to drop those power stones and leave comments below!
