When Death Walked the World

Chapter 37

The guardians were gathered in the throne room of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick.

Their master's decision was due, they lowered themselves to one knee and waited patiently, nevertheless they couldn't hide the briefest flashes of worry on their handcrafted faces.

Some time ago the Supreme One had left for a walk, putting the guardians at ease that he would be alright, after all he has been in this world for centuries, thus the guardians although unwilling had no say in the matter as Lord Ainz simply disappeared.

Next thing they know; the Lord hastily returns and orders Nazarick to be put on the highest security level - Red.

What the Supreme One had witnessed? They had no clue, but one thing was for sure. If it forced the Supreme One's hand to order for maximum security then it had to be a serious matter.

Shalltear grimaced as she looked up at her Lord. Those magnificent pristine white bones of his! Those perfect curves and joints! Those solid foundations! Oh, how she craved to touch, to caress them. Even the slightest of touch would no doubt make her climax. She shuddered at the thought.

But, before her wild fantasies could run out of control she was broken out of her trance as the Lord has finally spoken.

"My guardians it is with a heavy heart that I announce the tomb will face its challenge sooner than expected."

Gasps could be heard in the massive chamber; where not only the bulk of the floor guardians; but the area guardians were present as well.

Demiurge put on a knowing smile, which was followed by Albedo without a moment delay.

Shalltear and the Twins held a confused expression. However, their magnanimous Lord seeing their dismay had swiftly come to their aid and carried on. Just as expected from a Supreme being.

"As you may know, the cosmos hides terrible entities... and one such foe had decided to take it into her head to destroy me."

Shock.

Utter disbelief was written on each and every face around Ainz as he decided to share his plight. Although he expected such a reaction, after all he was like a father to many of them, but still... Seeing it himself didn't sit right with him, but he had to share this intel less the guardians encounter the subordinates of such a monster.

"Lord Ainz, forgive me if I am being rude, but who would dare oppose the will of the Supreme beings? Who would dare hurt you?!" Shalltear exclaimed in rage as a red aura, her bloodlust exploded into a torrent of killing intent.

She was soon cut off however as the form of the succubus shivered. Her wings fluttered frantically as her face clouded over.

Shalltear wasn't one to lose ground especially not against her rival; Albedo, because if she did, then she would surely lose her advantage over their competition; who would be head-wife?

But seeing the state Albedo was in, Shalltear momentarily staggered.

Soon Albedo's rage exploded and looked at Ainz with craze in her eyes. Shalltear's earlier outburst paled in comparison.

Demiurge for a brief moment thought that he had caught a glimpse of the Lord flinch upon the obsidian throne, but that was impossible. As such he has dismissed it, his imagination must have played a trick on him. It sure was lively today.

"Stop. This. At. Once." Came the commanding voice of Cocytus from the sidelines.

"You. Are. In. The. Presence. Of. Lord. Ainz." He continued, breathing out freezing air in between words. As he finished, he hit the marble floor with his Halberd signaling that Albedo's behavior was unacceptable in the presence of their master.
