Remnants of the Overlords (RWBY x Overlord male reader)

Chapter 25

Demiurge and Albedo were shaking in fear as they tried their best not to look up from the ground.

Y/n: "Care to repeat what you just said Albedo?" Y/n said as he angrily tapped his fingers on his thrones armrest. Albedo stiffened before nodding.

Albedo: "W-we lost co-contact with Sha-shaltear."

Y/n: "How long ago?"

Albedo: "Three days, Deamonius-sama."

Demiurge: "We tried getting in contact with her by every means possible, yet none beared any success." The demon came to the aid of his companion. Loudly sighing Y/n leaned back in his throne, trying to rub away the slowly building headache. Grabbing his Scroll Y/n dialed Juniors number. It did not take long for Junior to answer and Y/n could hear the fear in the mans voice as he greeted him.

Junior: "My lord, how may I be of service?"

Y/n: "Do you have contact to someone of your profession in Mistral?"

Junior: "Info Broker or Gang Leader?"

Y/n: "The first."

Junior: "I do my lord, do you need something specific?" Y/n glanced at his subordinates making them both shiver under his cold gaze.

Y/n: "I will send you a picture of someone your contact is to find for me. Make sure to inform them to not engage this person at all costs and to keep everything under the radar of any and all authorities."

Junior: "Yes my lord. Will that be all?"

Y/n: "Take note of all expenses you will be repaid in full and should I be happy of how quick the person has been found you or your gang will be granted a wish."

Junior: "Much appreciated."

Y/n: "Call back once you have something. Good day." Y/n ended the call and looked at Albedo and Demiurge. "Both of you, tell me your thoughts on what might have happened to Shalltear."

Albedo: "The harlot has betrayed us." Albedo said with venom.

Demiurge: "Very unlikely dear Albedo. Not a single member of Nazarick would ever even dream of betraying the Supreme Ones. Seeing that the Message Spell still connects to her means she is alive."

Y/n: "So if she is not dead nor has she betrayed us, what could explain her lack of response?"

Demiurge: "Mind control? Maybe a curse?"

Albedo: "Shalltears resistance to both of those should be far to high for any of this planets inhabitants to beat."

Y/n: "Unless she got unlucky and met someone who either has magic or a Semblance strong enough to pull it off. It can't be Ozpin, he was too busy nor has any of the Shadows stationed in his office noticed him leaving for an extended amount of time. Maybe it was the female magic user that has so far been able to elude me." Y/n theorized. "All important units are to return to Nazarick at once. No exception. Not even for Yuri Alpha and CZ2I28 Delta. Nazarick will once again be put under strict lockdown."

Demiurge: "May I voice a request?" Y/n waved his hand for the demon to continue. "Once we find Shalltears whereabouts allow the Floor Guardians to fight her."

Y/n: "Request denied." Y/n said in an instant.

Albedo: "But Deamonius-sama! You should not have to deal with such matters." The Succubus complained.

Y/n: "My decision is final. Ever Floor Guardian is like a child of my dearest friends, I will not pit them against eachother in a serious fight. Also, in the end it falls upon me as your master to deal with subordinates that step out of line, even if it is not out of their own free will." Taking a few deep breaths, Y/n calmed down a bit. "No. Nobody is at fault here, not me for not seeing something like this coming, not you for not having dealt with it yet, not Shalltear for letting what ever happened to her happen. Please leave me alone, I need to gather my thoughts." The two monsters bowed and quickly left. The moment the heavy set of doors closed shut Y/n deflated and put his head into his hands, rubbing his face. "What the fuck." He whispered to himself. How could someone or something in this lower than low level world beat the resistances of one of the floor guardians? It must be the work of the female magic user, that or Y/n has severly underestimated the possible strength of Semblances. Whichever it is it made him mad.
