When Death Walked the World

Chapter 8

The citizens had seen off the Gods as they left the city, apparently searching for someone. Though the simple citizens could only guess, the elderly still remembered the stories of old told to them at nights, by their parents no less. They could guess why they would look for one of their own.

Ash watched as they left the city, remembering how upset the God of Death seemed, when he found out that he hid the existence of Ainz Ooal Gown. The undead was livid, but thankfully the other 5 calmed him down, and made sure that he didn't act on impulses.

He told them of how Ainz descended upon the world a century ago, how he saved the lives of many, and how he had given them purpose in life. Though he couldn't pick up any changes on the visage of the undead, he was sure that Surshana was paying close attention to every single word he had said concerning Ainz.

He stood up straight from his chair, while overseeing their departure. How long had it been since he last stood on his own legs? He couldn't recall.

"May Lord Ainz decide to grant you his notice, only then will you meet him." He said, as he turned his back to the window, and slowly took his place in the wheelchair. "May you find, that which you seek."

...

They were traveling the land for weeks on end. Normally, they would have already abandoned such a ludicrous idea as looking for a single person in another world, but Surshana was adamant about finding Ainz Ooal Gown.

From the information provided by the King they were able to deduce that Ainz Ooal Gown, is in fact Momonga the guild leader of the guild Ainz Ooal Gown. Though, it was entirely thanks to Surshana's knowledge on the game, and his obsession with the top ranking guilds and individuals.

In truth, had it been all of Ainz Ooal Gown, he wouldn't want to seek them out, but if it was Momonga, who was known for his impartiality and common sense, then it was entirely possible that they could gain a new ally in these strange lands, a powerful one at that. They could also ask him for information, after all he was here long before them, if they were to believe Ash's words.

Surshana only shared the most basic things with the others, like how Ainz Ooal Gown was a top ranking heteromorph guild despite its low member count, and how they role-played as villain masterminds, though he made sure to point out that Momonga wasn't like that.

Nevertheless, he made sure to let them know, not to cause any trouble, and not to act threateningly for who knows how strong he may be in this new world of theirs, and who knows if his psyche was warped by time beyond repair?

The others were convinced and they promised not to act rashly.

Throughout their journey they had run into demi-humans and some beast-man tribes, though they didn't kill them on site, they always ended up attacking their group. So... they discreetly dispatched them.

When they were in the city of man, they had turned off their auras, because the humans would keep asking them questions about their Godhood and so on and so forth, so it was best that they had disabled it.

Now, however they had decided to turn back on their auras, and passive visual effects, because they got tired of having to deal with enemies 60 levels or more below them. As they walked the path, the wild animals, and demi-humans avoided their immediate surroundings.

...

Ainz woke up with a left leg today. He was having back cramps from laying down in bed, even though he had no muscle... He would wonder about how is it possible, if he wasn't in such a bad mood...

He had spoiled some of the experimental potions he had tried to make using a blend between wild and tier magic. Since he couldn't use wild magic, he used a Dragon lord captured a while ago to perform that part of the process. If he managed to create a potion using both magic systems, who knows how powerful the end-product might become.
