Roaring Heroes Battle the Overlord (Ainz)

Chapter 62 Resurrection

Having completed the two agreed-upon duels, EeDeChi and Barrett returned to the main hall.

Ainz was indeed a ruler of promise-keeping. After exchanging false compliments, Ainz produced a simple copper can adorned with golden patterns.

Under the surge of magic, the copper can began to twist slowly like a pillar of water, overflowing with a golden radiance. The radiance expanded gradually, forming a ball of light that engulfed the contorted can.

Soon after, the ball of light descended and unfolded into a human form. As the light dimmed, the limbs and head of a person became discernible. Finally, the body of a golden-haired girl lay curled on the cold ground.

This was Arche, whom EeDeChi had vowed to rescue—a girl who had been killed by Shalltear but now resurrected.

Arche had been quite famous in the adventurer circles of the Baharuth Empire, and Barrett had heard of her as well.

She possessed an Innate Talent: the ability to discern the highest rank of magic her opponent could cast. Moreover, she could wield magic of the 3rd Tier, making her a formidable mage among humans.

Judging solely by her appearance, Arche was undoubtedly the elder sister of a pair of twin sisters, Kuuderika and Ureirika. Her face was almost identical to theirs, and she appeared as an enlarged version.

Upon seeing the girl she had exerted great effort to rescue now resurrected before her eyes, EeDeChi's face showed not joy but rather veins bulging on her forehead. Her gaze turned more ferocious, as if she had encountered the revival of a demon lord.

Because of her resurrection, Arche was completely naked, with skin as tender and fair as a newborn's, her voluptuous curves exposed without a shred of cover, fully visible to everyone.

Barrett knew the captain's temperament well—she couldn't stand seeing a woman exposed. Quickly, he retrieved a robe from his spatial ring and draped it over the naked body of Arche, temporarily shielding his view of admiring the beautiful woman.

Ainz rubbed his bone chin thoughtfully and nodded lightly, feeling that his past act of killing Arche was indeed a regrettable mistake.

Suddenly, he noticed Albedo gathering magical energy in the palm of her hand. Glancing over, he saw Albedo staring at Arche with eyes filled with extreme jealousy.

"Is she that sensitive?" Ainz startled. He cleared his throat and redirected his gaze from Arche to Barrett.

Albedo, realizing her loss of composure, blushed and dispersed the energy in her hand.

Under the robe, Arche's eyelashes fluttered lightly. She slowly opened her weary eyes, her body seeming to thaw from ice, gradually awakening from an ancient and profound slumber.

She sat up, her gaze confused and weary, blinking as she looked around.

Soon, she scanted the undead before her—Ainz Ooal Gown—and the silver-haired girl in black dress, Shalltear.

Horror, fear, futility, and despair flooded her mind. She had watched her companions die tragically before her eyes, and in the end, she died too, unwillingly. The memories of bloodshed surged into Arche's mind like a torrent, filling the void left by her recent resurrection.

"Monster! Monster!" Arche hoarsely screamed, her voice distorted due to her recent revival. Her once lifeless eyes widened, her legs kicking wildly on the ground. Her naked body recoiled in terror, her expression filled with fear and dread.

She had died in a nightmare, and yet she awoke to find herself still trapped within it. Her killer was still within arm's reach. She desperately tried to rise and escape backward, as if fleeing from the terrifying reaper right before her eyes.
