"Show me your worth."
Without any more words Zesshi swung her Sythe. A high tier weapon wielded by one of the Six Gods Surshana. Just as it seemed like the Sythe will strike Hyortr, he held it with his hands.
"I forgot to say." While effortlessly holding the blade of the Sythe, Hyortr Smiles, even though his Face Plate showed no signs of it.
"My creator is a Strategic man. He designed me in such a way that.." Hyortr paused as he kicked Zesshi's abdomen, sending her flying across the Platform. "I am dual built."
Take it as a plothole or not. Being a custom race is the best. For consistency, new racial classes were also added specificaly designed for a Lector.
Although not an fully built allrounder like Shalltear, Hyortr could confidently confirm that he can hold his own in a warriors clash. Especially with Zesshi who was approximately level 87.
Except for TGOALID and Einherjar, she had no other trup cards that were a threat to him. Even Mare in the original completely overpowered her and Hyortr was far stronger than Mare in every aspect.
Vanishing from his spot using teleport, Hyortr reached Zesshi's landing spot as he once again kicked her sending her flying once again. This went on for a minute as Hyortr held complete control of the battle, giving Zesshi no chance to take over or strategise.
*Huff**Huff*
Panting after a series of relentless blows on the stomach which made her fear she might lose her ability to give birth. Glaring at the floating being in the distance she defiantly wiped the saliva and blood on her mouth.
[Einherjar]
Finally she decided to use her trump card.
By now, she knew that physically she couldn't match Hyortr, so she opted for a different strategy.
A white figure of similar height to Zesshi materialized as it transformed into a complete clone of Zesshi along with the Sythe.
In an instant it sprinted towards Hyortr as the original Zesshi used her other trup card.
[The Goal Of All Life Is Death.]
A large golden Clock with its three hands appeared behind her as the second hand started rotating.
'12 seconds..' Zesshi muttered in her mind as she subtly glanced at Rosaria who was watching all this with a calm and indifferent gaze. Seeing her not moving, a sense of dread washed over her.
Dread...fear.. a completely foreign feeling for her. Ever since being born the only emotions she held were Hatred, Ambitions and Desire.
Hatred over that man, and that woman who was too weak and then gave birth to her. Ambitions to defeat him and kill him, to relish in the pain she imagined she will inflict in him. And Desire, to bear the seed of a strong man. No matter the appearance, nature or origin.
Seeing Hyortr effortlessly evading the Einherjar, while still maintaining eye contact with her. A surge of desire overwhelmed her. To bear his child. This man, was the one worthy of being her spouse.
9 seconds passed where she mused all these. Hyortr still didn't completely defeat the Einherjar, although he could instantly do it.
10, 11, 12.
As the countdown ended, she casted her intended spell.
[Cry of Banshee!]
A screeching and loud wail reverberated in a 100 meters radius around Zesshi. Hyortr seeing it seems to remain impassive, merely glancing at it.
As the spell took effect, a second passed , then another.
'What...it didn't work?' seeing that nothing happened she looked at Rosaria who was floating above them.
'The range is 100 meters and she is out of its effects. But what about him?'
Zesshi struggled to believe her ultimate trumpcard didn't work on Hyortr. Her face twisted in disbelief and uncertainty. Is this a dream?
"It seems your spell didn't work." Hyortr, seeing her emotions explained. "In normal circumstances, it might have. But you see..I am not really here."
"What?" Zesshi exhaled.
"Let's just say, I did die due to your spell, but I resurrected." Hyortr explained patiently.
In truth it was because of the Orb Of Life, a world Item that allowed him to negate the spell entirely.
Hearing this Zesshi remained stunned for a while. Thinking about the events that led to this outcome where she along with all the black scripture members were pulled in this mysterious dimension, she realised that they had already signed off their own doom.
"HahahaHHAHAHAHA!" What started as a small chuckle of self-defeat, went into a fullblown maniacal laughter. Her eyes staring at the figure before her.
"You are worthy! You will be my Spouse!! I want you to impregnate me now! This instance! Let's make an army of children!!" Zesshi unnervingly declared. Her depraved grin for all to see.
"Disgusting..." Rosaria seeing this display sneered, what ever image of an elegant elf she had was crushed. Now she firmly believed that except for the twin guardians, other elves are sex deprived maniacs who only think about reproducting.
"What convinced you that you were worthy for me?" Hyortr asked.
'Is she really this deranged? Well that one scene in the anime did show it but this is beyond that. But...' Quickly Hyortr dispelled the dark thoughts he was about to plot.
"You are weak. By our standards, you will be barely qualified to be one of the mid tiers." Hyortr continued outwards.
"Hahaha!.... I never imagined this will bite back at me." Zesshi after regaining her composure, thought aloud. "But I have already promised myself, that only you will be my partner. I don't care How you treat me, I will bear your child."
"This worm.." Rosaria couldn't hold herself back, seeing this elf act like she deserved her Idol.
"Rosaria." Hyortr, understanding her dissatisfaction reasoned.
"Apologies my Lord."
"Antilene Heran Fouche, do your swear upon your name, soul and power to remain loyal to me and dedicate your life to Nazarick?" Hyortr asked.
"I do." Immediately Zesshi answered without any consideration that just moments ago she was on the opposing team.
"Very Good."
-----
In Nazarick.
"So he subdued the Black Scriptures?" Ainz asked as he listened to the reports provided by Albedo about Hyortr's current actions.
He was already informed of Hyortr's prediction of a night attack on him and the plans he set up. But to prevent anything from going awry, Ainz was constantly monitoring the Manor Hyortr lived in with the Mirror of Remote Viewing.
Unfortunately, the Super Tier Spell Hyortr casted dispelled the surveillance of the Mirror, making it impossible to watch further. He had already asked Shalltear to be on the ready to open a gate directly in Hyortr's position at the instant sign of distress.
But it seems his worries were unfounded.
'World Tree Yggdrasil, *sigh* another OP spell. It is almost equivalent to the World Item Depiction of Nature and Society. It traps the opponents in a hundred meter radius in a different dimension.
This dimension consisted of seven platforms around a large tree, the only way to escape it is to either defeat the caster or reach the top of the canopy where a crystal was embedded and destroy it.
In the game, destroying that crystal will lead to 25% of Hyortr's Hp and 10% of his Mp to drop.' Ainz recalled all the information about this Super Tier Spell.
Although it has a large drawback, it's advantages were more absurd. The trapped players will be unable to cast high tier Spells or use their racial skills if the caster wished.
And the most dangerous trait of this spell was that the longer the Targets were trapped the more they succumbed to the Caster's Will.
That was the reason how the 1st seat and 2nd seat of the scriptures instantly collapsed. This was also attributed to the fact that they were 10 or 20 levels below the caster enabling the effects to manifest itself sooner.
'And then the fact that they were responsible for the unsuccessful brain washing of Shalltear.' Thinking this detail, a sharp murderous glint shone in his red orbs for eyes.
But now he was simply happy that the nation responsible for this is already suffering.
"I remember our agreement with the Emperor will soon happen right?" Ainz, after taking the time to sort the details in his mind asked.
"Yes Lord Ainz. According to the Emperor, Jircniv Rune Farlord El Nix, they will start their invasion of the Kingdom, next week. In our previous meeting with him, he proposed one of us Guardians use our most powerful spell to signal the beginning of the war." Albedo smiled as she recounted the events of that day.
"A super Tier spell...to signal the war."
'How Laughable.'
