Overlord: I’ve Been Recruiting Followers in Another World

"Dark Night Undead?"

Hearing the name of this racial class, Ainz Ooal Gown hesitated for a moment.

According to Demiurge, the opponent's power wasn't that strong.

However, as the head of a force that had just declared its submission to the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, he could certainly accept it. An unexpected advantage.

It just so happened that he also wanted to experiment and see how intelligent undead in the New World differed from himself.

Thinking of this, Ainz Ooal Gown said to Demiurge, "Then, if he has time in the future, let him come."

"Yes, Ainz-sama."

Demiurge nodded and made a note of this.

After that, he reported to Ainz Ooal Gown, "Ainz-sama, there is something I wish to inquire about. It concerns Princess Renner of the Re-Estize Kingdom."

The Golden Princess?

Of course, Ainz Ooal Gown remembered this person.

According to Demiurge, she was a very intelligent human princess who had excellent rapport with Nazarick and was a very special individual.

She had played a very important role in Nazarick's previous plan against the Re-Estize Kingdom, and even now, she still held a certain value for Nazarick.

"What happened to the princess?"

"Previously, to control the princess, I placed a shadow demon beside her. However, just yesterday, that shadow demon seemed to have been destroyed, and the princess's current whereabouts are unknown. She may have been killed." Demiurge answered, his tone showing a hint of uncertainty.

"Is that so..." Ainz Ooal Gown thought for a moment and said, "Then, arrange for someone to search for her. If we can find her, that would be good. If not, forget about it."

"Yes, I understand."

Demiurge accepted Ainz Ooal Gown's order and prepared to send people to search for the Golden Princess after completing his report and discussion.

As for the outcome... as Ainz-sama said, it depended on luck.

Nazarick had now thoroughly investigated the intelligence of the Re-Estize Kingdom. There was nothing particularly noteworthy in that kingdom. Its political power was decentralized, and its ruling class was utterly chaotic.

Even without the Golden Princess, they could find another replacement.

Two days later, at the Church of Destiny's training ground.

"Begin!"

A female ninja in tight mesh clothing and a female warrior wielding a spike hammer stood facing each other. After the spectators signaled to start the fight, both dashed towards each other almost simultaneously.

The speed of both sides was not slow, and they collided in the blink of an eye.

The female warrior shouted and swung the hammer in her hand to strike the opponent, but the female ninja was very agile. After seeing the trajectory of the attack, she simply moved one step to the side to avoid the hammer's blow.

The strong wind from the rapidly swinging war hammer stirred the female ninja's hair. She stared at the female warrior's neck, stomped on the ground, quickly approached her opponent, and mercilessly thrust with the magical dagger in her hand.

It seemed that due to the influence of her armor and the weapon's backswing, the female warrior was unable to adjust her body in time for defense, and the magical dagger easily pierced the opponent.

Unfortunately, the attack caused no damage.

For when the dagger's tip touched the female warrior's skin, it was blocked by a layer of red light, then bounced back as if it had been stabbed into steel with all its might.

This was the effect of the martial skill [Fortress].

After her attack was thwarted, the female ninja's body stiffened for a moment.

At this moment, the female warrior displayed a speed completely different from before, and the war hammer in her hand fiercely swept towards the female ninja's waist.

There was clearly no way to avoid it.

The two watching thought so about the female warrior's attack.

This was indeed true. The war hammer struck the female ninja's waist hard, sending her flying.

After the successful attack, the female warrior not only showed no sign of joy, but instead frowned.

Because the impact of the hammer just now felt completely wrong. It didn't feel like hitting a human body at all.

Sure enough, the female ninja's body, which had been thrown, transformed in mid-air, with a faint fluorescent light all over her, then she disappeared like a swarm of fireflies.

At the same time, the female warrior suddenly felt a cold, sharp light flash behind her, and she quickly turned and blocked it with her war hammer over her head.

Clang!

The magical dagger and the hammer handle collided with each other, the female ninja's attack was blocked, and then she flew backward to the ground with the help of her opponent's explosive force.

Both sides began a new round of combat.

"It seems Tina and Gagaran are recovering well!"

Lakyus, standing on the sidelines, saw the agility of her two teammates during the training, couldn't help but smile joyfully, and commented on their performance.

Tina beside her glanced at her and suddenly said, "Still far behind you, Boss."

"Hmm!"

Lakyus was slightly displeased with Tina's remark, her cheeks puffed out a little, then she said, "There's nothing we can do, right? The God has ordered a temporary cancellation of training, and said he would try more efficient training methods after a while."

"That's what I said, but I always feel like I'm being targeted. You weren't treated like this before, Lakyus."

On the other side, Evileye shrugged and teased Lakyus for the rare opportunity.

Two days ago, when Lakyus decided to officially join the Church of Destiny, some of them joined as well.

Actually, this wasn't a spontaneous idea.

Adventurers were fundamentally people who pursued power and renown. When they previously trained with members of the Church of Destiny, they were a little envious of the opportunity to rapidly increase their strength.

This time, Gagaran and two others died suddenly, and their strength greatly declined after they were resurrected. Joining the Church of Destiny could also help them recover faster.

Then there was the connection with Lakyus.

The Blue Roses were a single unit. If Lakyus became extremely powerful in the future, they would only become a burden, and the team might even disband in the future.

This was not an exaggeration.

Lakyus seemed to be greatly favored by the great god. Although most of the believers' combat training had been suspended, Lakyus, like other high-ranking church members, would go out of the city every day for training.

So in just two days, her strength far surpassed the four of them. Even if they used an encirclement approach, they were no match for Lakyus and could be said to have been thoroughly defeated.

"Boss, why don't you talk to the God and help us increase our strength?"

Tina seriously proposed to Lakyus, and added, "At worst, you could receive a promotion from the God like Miss Rennas and become a Battle Saint of the Church. I'm sure the God will consider it."

"Tina!"

Lakyus's face suddenly flushed, she was angry.

Although she knew Tina was just joking, the female ninja's expression made it seem as if she was actually seriously considering this possibility, which would certainly make others think wrongly.
