Roaring Heroes Battle the Overlord (Ainz)

Chapter 5: The Magic Repeater

EeDeChi curiously examined Pilar, a bald wizard with a gray stubble beard and a face covered in wrinkles and dark spots like dried pine bark. His black wizard's robe was embroidered with twisted red lines that formed strange, symbol-like patterns.

His hands were as withered as dead tree branches, holding a pitch-black staff. At the staff's top was a white skull with two flickering, dark red flames in its eye sockets, giving it an eerie look.

EeDeChi pointed at the bandits in front of her and said, "You guys have Justice Values ranging from -100 to -500. Wiping you all out is justified."

In this world, there's a concept known as Innate Talent. An Innate Talent is a power one is born with, and almost one in every two hundred people possesses one in this world. Most of these talents are simple and convenient, like weather forecasting, with only a few being powerful and rare skills.

When EeDeChi arrived here, she discovered she had an Innate Talent—she could see everyone's Justice Value. (In the anime Overlord, it is also called Karma.)

If she uses her Talent, in her view, every person has a number floating above their head, ranging from -500 to +500. Based on her experience, Justice Value roughly corresponds to a person's morality as follows:

-500: Extremely Evil

-400: Evil

-300: Very Evil

-200: Wicked

-50: Neutral

0: Neutral

+50: Neutral

+150: Good

+300: Extremely Good

For instance, the bald wizard holding the skull staff had a Justice Value of -460, indicating extreme evil. He must have harmed many innocent lives.

Seeing EeDeChi's curious gaze, Pilar felt a surge of anger. It had been a long time since anyone dared to look at him so rudely. Even the most daring outlaws in his gang never had the audacity to look him in the eye.

EeDeChi made the first move, waving her hand to cast a newly learned attack spell.

1st Tier Magic: Ice Cone.

A surge of icy blue energy gathered at her fingertips, then solidified into a sharp ice cone, shooting toward Pilar.

Pilar sneered, his staff striking the ground and forming a faint shield. The sharp ice cone shattered into pieces upon hitting the shield, failing to touch Pilar even slightly.

Seeing Pilar effortlessly block her magic, EeDeChi's eyes brightened. She commanded, "Interesting. You're the Magic Caster, right? Come on, use your highest-tier magic on me. Don't hold back."

It wasn't that EeDeChi enjoyed being attacked; she had been operating on the fringes of human civilization since arriving in this world and had only ever seen 2nd Tier magic. Now that she had the rare chance to face a "Great Magic Caster," she wanted to test her limits and assess her own abilities.

"Are you trying to get yourself killed?" Pilar was completely enraged. He raised his staff and unleashed his most powerful spell, aiming to obliterate the girl in one blow.

3rd Tier Magic: Hellfire Serpent!

A crimson fire serpent erupted from the top of his staff, crossing several meters in an instant and wrapping EeDeChi in blazing flames.

Aaron watched in horror as EeDeChi, engulfed in flames from head to toe, reminded him of George, who had just been reduced to a charred skeleton. He couldn't help but mourn silently for the girl.
