Devoid of any challenge how will the epitome of solitude and strength survive in a world without a worthy foe to satiate his thirst for endless competition.
The midday sun shined through the crisscrossing branches of a dense forest. Walking through the forest the mighty undead Lord of Nazarick, Ainz Ooal Gown, contemplated his upcoming altercation. Walking alongside him was the unbelievably beautiful succubus Albedo, advisor to Ainz Ooal Gown and leader of the Floor Guardians of the Great Tomb.

Albedo: "Lord Ainz, do you know anything about what might have caused Shalltear to disobey direct orders?"
Ainz: "Fortunately I can say in confidence that it was not of her own volition. From what you described, Shalltear may be affected by a form of hypnotism or mind-control magic. I most likely have something to dispel such affect but I am more concerned about what or who could've affected Shalltear. She was specifically created to combat multiple high-tier play- erm..I mean opponents comparable to myself, at once. Whatever is affecting her may be Super-Tier magic or higher. We will need to stay vigilant."
Albedo: "Of course, my lord."
Ainz: "Tell me. Have you managed to uncover anything within our archives about Markov as instructed?"
Albedo: "Regretfully no, my lord. Demiurge and I have made painstaking efforts to uncover any information regarding Markov. But we have had no luck. The only information we could uncover was what Narberal Gamma reported."
Ainz: "Hmm. Strange. Touch Me never mentioned meeting anyone who matched Markov's description. Touch Me did have the World Champion job class which is only obtained through tournament victory, perhaps Markov could be someone who he defeated and wishes for a rematch. What of you meeting with him Albedo, what could you infer from him?"
Albedo: "I can only say that he had a chill about him. He carried the same magnificent aura that you and Warrior Takemikazuchi had. Yet instead of the grace that you possess or the valor of Warrior Takemikazuchi, Markov had one of malice and a yearning to kill. I do not trust him within the walls of Nazarick, my Lord."
Ainz: "I see. I do share your concerns. Markov is an unknown, if we are to gain some form of alliance with him, he must show us we can trust him with the safety of Nazarick."
Albedo: "Of course, Lord Ainz. You are always so wise."
Ainz: "For now though, we must draw our attention to Shalltear."
Exiting the forested terrain the two spot Shalltear in an open clearing within the forest. Shalltear stands motionless as she holds her weapon, her Pipette Lance.
Shalltear Bloodfallen. Created by Peroroncino to protect the first, second, and third floors of Nazarick. Being a True Vampire she can have full control over almost all blood-type magics and has extremely increased physical strength and dexterity. She stands on the shorter side though, only around 4'7", she's currently in her casual attire of a Victorian-style midnight black dress with crimson pink accents. As a vampire, her physical appearance is that of a young woman, pale skin, red cat-like eyes, and fine smooth skin.
