Battle of Overlords

Part 3- A touch of reality

"My sweet little Zesshi..."

***********

Sorcerer kingdom / 3rd pov

The black blade of the former hero of darkness hovered above Evileye's head like a crown.

She felt frozen in place.

As if she was tied down on an execution stand, dreadingly waiting for the guillotine to drop...

And with a vicious swing, momon brought forth that reality.

Clang

"Hm..?"

The blade of darkness was stopped by another.
Lakyus clenched her teeth as she steadied herself from being buried once more by the weight of that strike.

"So...so heavy!"

"Ahhhh!"

With a resolving cry, Lakyus dug her foot in the ground and parried away the attack.
Momon jumped back as he dodged the sword from reaching his neck.

"La-Lakyus!"

Evileye seemed to finally snap out of her trance as she yelled out to her captain.

Lakyus stood in between Evileye and momon, as she readied her sword at the latter.

"What is the meaning of this?! Why did you attack us?! Did you really side with ainz ooal gown!!?"

"Answer me!! Momon!!"

"...."

"How annoying."

Momon let out an unpleased sigh.

"This has been a rather unpleasant week for me. You neither have to understand nor think about trying anything."

"Just stand there and die, clueless as you are."

Wielding his black sword in one hand, momon pulled out his other sword to complete his duel set, as he now stared down the two surviving members of blue rose.

"The sooner I take care of you, the sooner I may return to my treasury."

"...so you really...aren't joking around..."

Lakyus hands shook in fear.

This wasn't a joke.

The man in front of her, the one who was named as the only one capable of rivaling ainz ooal gown was really intent on killing them.
He wasn't going to let any of them leave this town alive.

"Is escape possible? Do we try to fight? What can we do?"

Lakyus contemplated her options as she pressured herself to stay calm.

"My friends..."

!!

After staying quiet for so long, Evileye finally seemed to snap out of her trance.

"What happened...to my friends...?"

Momon lowered his weapons as he seemed to think for a moment.

"If you are referring to those two twins, then..."

As momon paused his sentence, he shook his head.

"..no, perhaps it is better that you do not know."

....

"MOMON!!!!"

At his words, Lakyus was thrown in a despicable rage.

She raged at momon's implication.
