Ainz Ooal Gown: Supreme Being in DxD

Who happens to be your girlfriend

Momonga opened his eyes and saw that the naked body of Lord Phenix was starting to stir from its deathly stillness.

"Hm... hm." Momonga stood up after having knelt beside the body and grabbed the Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown that still floated above the man's body.

He offered his hand to Lord Phenix who reached and took it.

"How are you feeling, Lord Phenix?" Momonga asked.

"I am unsure... What happened? You're... Issei Hyoudou, of Rias Gremory's Peerage? A Pawn, correct?" Lord Phenix asked, clearly confused and lost.

'Good, it's performing as it should...' Momonga used the wordless link between the two to send a small congratulation to the disguised Overlord for its acting. He glanced to the side and saw a flash of blonde hair which told him that Lady Phenix would be watching the two, so he put up an act for her. "In one way, yes, but in others, not quite. I believe some explanations are in order. You've been held captive for roughly little less than a week now, and were killed a day ago. I erased those memories because I presumed that the torment must have driven you insane, and trust me, you're better off without them. I resurrected you afterwards. It seems that there might have been complications though, we'll have to go over your physical and mental state."

"I... see." Lord Phenix feigned wariness, then spotted Lady Phenix who was trembling in the corner with her back against the wall. "Ah... Dear?"

Momonga turned towards the woman as well as he heard a whimper from her direction.

"A-ah... aha... ahahah!" Lady Phenix's eyes were wild and blood-shot, and she had deep gashes in her face that had come from her manicured fingernails. "Ahahahahaha! AHAHA!"

'Oh...' Momonga blinked as he glanced over the room which looked corrupted and blackened by negative energy.

He then realized that the Auras of the Overlord Wiseman, namely [Black Halo] and [Aura of Despair: IV] must have been active from the moment it had been created. Indeed, while [Black Halo] only imbued negative energy to everything around the undead, the level ninety-five Undead would have unlocked the second-last stage of the [Aura of Despair], which had a chance to inflict Insanity upon anyone venturing close to the creature.

It seemed that the wards of the study managed to hold the Aura's effect from affecting the rest of the house, since Momonga glanced out of a small window and saw the wings of the mansion looked like they had before and hadn't been turned into a horror-show thanks to [Black Halo].

However, Lady Phenix who had been in the Aura's effect, had been hit by the full force of it. She had managed to survive the [Black Halo], likely because of her 'high level' as far as Devils went, but 'Insanity' would not care about the target's level, only if it had skills, passives or gear to resist it.

"Ah, Lady Phenix." Momonga went over to the woman and patted her shoulder to see if she'd break out of her state. In YGGDRASIL Insanity could only be cured by a third party, but he knew from the Madness debuff affecting his Peerage that the skills wouldn't translate perfectly from one world to another. "Are you alright? Please answer me. The resurrection had... issues, but Lord Phenix lives again."
