Kuroi Tetsu: Thanks, I hadn't realized that I had her name wrong. As for the spelling errors, I try my best, I hope to get better, but I've always been shit at spelling. My English teacher once threw a party because I spelled seventy percent of the words on a test correctly.

Gamma-X: I want to save the Swords of Darkness, but I'm not sure how I'd work that into it. Especially with him becoming less attached to 'lesser beings' he would have very little reason to save them, so I've got to figure something out.

As for the mental state and Libido, that was actually kind of fun for me, being as I've always had a little bit of a 'god syndrome', I always have this little voice in my head telling I don't need to worry about what others think and simply use them as tools and toys, being as that's what they're made for. So it was fun letting that reign for a bit. The sex scene. Yeah, I'm not taking it down if I can help it. It'part of the story, why would I remove it. If someone doesn't want to read it, that's why I have easy to spot large bold letters at the beginning and end. I would have done more with Shaltear, but I figured, not only does the massive size difference make her impossibly tight and pleasurable for him, and he's also still getting accustomed to his reptilian body, and that was the first time he'd fucked in. In time he will build stamina, he'll need it for my future plans. As for her being a virgin, I thought I had remembered something about that, but then thought about how much of a pervert she is and pretty much said "Nope. It's not possible that she's kept it past a day since they arrived at the New World." I'm glad you like the brides and the overall scene. It was fun writing.

His scene with Nemu, that's going to be one of my hinge points (come up with name on the spot) I don't know if this is really spoiler or not, but basically, he is a helpful person, not as helpful as touch me, but still someone who will help when sees a need. But with his new mindset, he's going to have two opposing thought patterns. While he, the human, will be saying let's help the man, he's pore and broken, he the lizard, will be saying let's use him for bait, maybe catch something interesting, at least then the man would be doing something useful.

As for what happens in the Lizardman arc, that's definitely spoilers. But yes, he has a shield, though if his opponent poses no real threat he will often forgo the shield. The reason is that, despite its functionality as a shield, block a sword or ax strike isn't it's intended purpose. His character's purpose is to solo boss fights, by using his augmentation magic he would avoid most, if not all physical attacks, and only block magical attacks, letting the enchantments on his shield and other equipment absorb most of the power of the attack, leaving him with hardly any damage and a shit of magic to use. I designed his build (with no actual MMO experience admittedly) in a way that I felt would make him a monster when it came to boss fights. Whereas Touch Me was unbeatable in pvp combat, Argenti was unmatched when it came to solo killing boss monsters. Yet because his build pretty much relies on his foe using magic against him, someone like Touch Me, who doesn't use magic (to my knowledge) is like his kryptonite. The main reason he fears Momonga in a pvp situation is that I see Momonga as a player who understands what others will do in a fight. He would know where and how Argenti would attack before Argenti moved, and be able to prepare and set traps.

Kloicu: I was going to have more information on why exactly that happened in this chapter. I guess I should have squeezed it in the second somehow. Anyway, I'll do my best to explain before the story. The way I imagine Shaltear, she doesn't view sex as we would. Instead of an intimate act done by two people portraying trust and love, I feel she would see it as nothing more than a pleasurable and fun pass time.

About her virginity, as I told Gamma-X, I can't imagine her one to keep her virginity passed the first day she had any semblance of free will. Furthermore, and I tried to portray this in the lemon, Shaltear wasn't going to fuck Argenti, but like him, not caught up in her instincts again, I had planned on addressing this in this chapter. As for the feud of Albedo and Shaltear, the way I see it, Albedo wishes to be Ainz 'first wife' because Ainz forced her to love him, Shaltear is fighting her for that position because 1. She's a Necrophiliac. 2. She's both submissive and Dominative, submissive to the 'supreme beings' but wants to dominate all others. As for Momonga not wanting her after she fucks Argenti. Yeah, the 'human of Momonga wouldn't want her, but the Litch wouldn't give a shit. The only thing the Litch might care about is who 'owns' Shaltear. Basically who she would obey, which is already him, given his position as guild master. Anyhow, hope this made sense and answered any questions.

Argenti - The Lord of Thunder

Chapter Three

Albedo stood before me, I could tell she was nervous, afraid I would disprove of something. "I'll not waste your time." I said. "I want to spar and train with you, along with the other guardians."

"I would be honored to do so, Lord Argenti." She spoke. "But does Lord Ainz know? I would hate for him to have need of me, only for me to be distracted elsewhere."

"He does not know yet." I replied. "I wanted to be sure it would not interfere with anything you needed to do before I asked Ainz."

She nodded. "I see, it's most appreciated. Perhaps we could work out a schedule? That way should someone be sparing, others will know because it's been pre-planned?"

"That would be acceptable." I replied. "Of course, the spar would be second to other duties."

She nodded. "Then shall we speak to Lord Ainz? And get a schedule set up later?"

I nodded. "That sounds good."

Shortly afterward, we found ourselves in Ainz's office, explaining the idea, rough as it was at the moment.

"I see nothing wrong with it, in fact, I wonder if we could grow? There was a level cap before, but are we stuck at level one hundred still? Or can we gain again?" He wondered aloud. "We even have the Power Suits still that cause us to gain experience faster. Then again, with your enchanting levels, you could probably make a ring or other item that would be far more effective."

I tilted my head in thought. "Well... Yes, there are enchantments for higher experience multipliers. But they have to be made out of more expensive items to work, refined gold, dragon hide, holy silver, and such. As much fun as it would be to do, I think I'd prefer saving our stocks and see if we can get the same, or perhaps better from elsewhere."

"Agreed." Ainz spoke. "But is there any higher level enchantments you can cast on low or medium level wares?"

"Ah, no." I said. "If the item isn't of high enough quality and status, it turns to stone and crumbles."

"I see. That's unfortunate, still, our power suits will work fine in this case, especially since you have items that increase augmentations and enchanted status."

I nodded as he pulled out one of the familiar leather collars, a broken chain hanging several links down. I pulled off my necklace and instantly felt the enchantment leave. It was an odd feeling, uncomfortable, but not debilitating. Taking the leather collar, I carefully attached it around my neck, feeling the enchantments take hold.

"Well, shall we go Albedo? And see how we fair in combat?"

The succubus reluctantly pulled her eyes from Ainz and even more reluctantly nodded. "Yes. We should."

We reached the sixth floor and took our places, Albedo quickly donned her three layers of armor and gripped her massive ax.

Aura, who was quickly becoming our 'referee' for these fights, stood off to the side. "Ready?!" She called, swinging her whip behind her, she threw the weapon forward, and as it let loose a loud a booming crack, she cried out. "Begin!"

Albedo launched herself at me, immediately giving a powerful diagonal swing. I lifted my shield and braced. Her strike, while powerful, and potentially lethal had I not blocked it, was nothing compared to the force Cocytus would put behind his attacks.

Using the recoil of the strike, she spun around the opposite direction, her ax racing toward my neck.

I could honestly say, I was disappointed. Her attacks were slow and weak when put next to Cocytus.

I leaned back, easily avoiding the strike, and struck out, slamming the counterbalance if my spear into her side.

Normally such a trike would have pushed Cocytus, even knocking him over from time to time. Albedo took it unphased.

'Maybe... This isn't so disappointing.' I idly thought. I dodged another of her attacks and launched my own, shoving my spear forward, she didn't bother trying to dodge or block. She trusted her armor to take the strike. Which it did.

I blocked a downward strike of her ax and threw her blade up off my shield, gripping my spear and leveraging it against my body, I swung the blade into her side. I grunted lightly as the shaft beat against my side, but it had the results I wanted. Instead of simply glancing off her armor, Albedo was knocked aside nearly half an inch.

The Succubus seemed slightly surprised at this. Though I couldn't see her eyes under her helm, I could tell she was eyeing me more warily.

This time it was I who launched the first attack. Keeping my shield up, ready to protect myself, I shot forward, I jabbed with my spear, putting all the strength my unaugmented body could muster. Each strike barely affected her.

My lips pulled back in a horrific smile, baring my teeth in a harsh smile. This was exciting. With Cocytus, I had to worry about dodging and blocking his strikes. With Albedo, however, her attacks were easy enough to deal with, but my own attacks did little to nothing against her. It was an invigorating experience.

My mind was calm and clear, yet I was experiencing a high brought on by a powerful battle lust. I weaved through Albedo's attacks, dodging most and blocking only a few while delivering my own in return.

The woman gave a minor grunt as I slammed the but of my spear into her chest. It had enough force to stagger her, barely.

She had regained her sense of balance just in time for me to sweep my spear across her legs. I had hoped to knock her off balance with the strike, yet it was for naught as the blade stopped with a loud clang against her armored boots.

I dodged a strike that came only a split second after my failed attack. I was immediately put on the defensive as she launched into a lengthy combo of swings, jabs, chops, sweeping strikes and stabs.

I dodged around all of the attacks that I could, blocking and deflecting the few that I could not.

My heart was racing, blood roaring in my ear canals, my nostrils flared and my mouth parted as I took in the scents and tastes of my surroundings. I immersed myself in the fight. There had only been a few times I had felt this while sparring with Cocytus. 'The only other time I felt so at peace and natural was when I was fucking Shalltear.' The sudden thought made me lose my bearings, stumbling, I barely avoided a strike from Albedo.

Forcing my mind back to center, I was forced farther back as I struggled to regain my advantage. Seeing my chance, I dodged a strike and surged forward, shoving my spear forward. Albedo braced herself for the blow, only for it to pass beside her, shocked that I would miss, she let her guard slip, and I bashed her with my shield.

Albedo let loose a cry of surprise as she was forced backward. I launched several stabs at the unbalanced woman, aiming to keep her from regaining her footing.

Yet despite my efforts, she was able to brush the attacks off and soon was back to standing on her own feet, ignoring my strikes and delivering her own in return.

I began to feel myself tire, I knew I needed to end this soon, else she would outlast me. Without being able to absorb magic, and thus constantly heal myself, I was left slowly eating through my stamina. Albedo, on the other hand, had been made to be able to fight hordes of enemies with little to no reprieve

I launched my attacks trying to force an opening but was met with failure each time. I could go for roughly ninety seconds more as I was before I began to slow. I didn't know how I knew, only that I did.

I could cast a recovery spell and restore much of lost stamina, but I had decided I wouldn't be using magic in these spars unless of course, my foe did as well. With that in mind, I forced what energy I had left into my limbs and pushed myself past my limits.

I struck with a fury and determination that I had yet to do before. My body burned in excitement as I pushed myself. In the time I would have delivered three strikes, I now delivered six. Instead of barely phasing Albedo, I was now forcing the Succubus back.

My arms burned with the strain they were under, my legs and tail ached as they dashed to and fro, keeping me in close to Albedo, dodging her strikes, while keeping myself balanced.

After a particularly harsh strike, I saw my chance, and shifted my grip and swung upwards. The counterweight came up and slammed into the succubus's chin. She stumbled backward, her ax slipping from her fingers, she fell onto her back and let out a pain filled moan.

I idly cast a recovery spell on myself, before I began a series of healing spells on Albedo. Making sure nothing in her body was broken, then I began working the spells to counter concussions and any other damage standard healing spells wouldn't cover.

Albedo let out another long, painful moan. While the healing spells could ensure that there was no lasting damage, they would do nothing for the headache. There had never been a headache status in Yggdrasil, so there were no spells for it.

After I finished with making sure she was healed, I quickly brought her to her room and lay her in her bed, then I ordered two maids to carefully remove her armor.

A few moments later I reported to Ainz, informing him that Albedo would be resting for a few hours at the least.

"So..." I said after several moments of silence. "I wonder if they have other magic that we don't?" I inquired. "I mean, our magic is based on effects and giving status. A standard level one fireball has an instant damage effect with a status that causes you to take three points of damage every second for five seconds. I wonder if our magic works differently now? And if those outside have developed their own branches of magic that we never had? I would assume with magic available they've come up with something to wipe away hangovers."

Ainz nodded. "It would definitely be interesting to look into. I was planning on traveling around as an adventurer, I have good enough illusion, and I can create armor and weapons as well."

"Might I suggest training with them here for a week at the least? That way you understand how to use your weapons?"

He tilted his head, rubbing his chin. "That wouldn't be a bad Idea. I've watched a few of your spars and I saw several things that I would have never thought about before. Especially the difficulty with keeping balanced. Using your momentum to carry you through your attack. I am sure I would waste a lot of movement, and energy."

I nodded. "Get a Power Suit as well. It may help you learn faster."

He nodded. "I think I will. Thank you for your suggestion. What are you going to be doing? I know you don't have illusion magic."

"I plan on going about around Nazarick and getting a better idea of our surroundings. The guardians know well about the outside, but I've barely set foot outside. It may be entertaining as well. I may be able to find some interesting people as well."

The skeleton nodded. "Perhaps. What kind of person are you hoping to meet?"

I shrugged. "I don't have anything in mind, just someone interesting. Who knows, I may meet a mute who juggles blueberries on his tongue."

I could feel the deadpan expression Ainz was sending me. "I forgot that you American are born without your sanity." He muttered.

"I thought it was funny..." I muttered. "Anyhow, I need to go. I've got a few things I still need to do."

"Hmm? What's next for you?"

"I've got to meet Narberal and Yuri Alpha." I replied.

"... What for?"

"Ah, er, a date." I replied.

"Why...?" He asked slowly.

"It's my fault that they're in love with me, I told them so and asked them what I needed to do to make it up to them. They said they wanted me to at least try to love them in return. So I'm doing my best to make them happy."

"Hmm... I see." He said, almost disinterested.

After leaving the room I made my way to the Cherry Blossom sanctuary, finding them already waiting for my arrival, drinking what smelled to be tea with Aureole Omega. The three sat in a white gazebo with Sakura trees spread around them.

The two looked up at me, smiling brightly. "I'm not late am I?" I asked, knowing I was not."

"You're actually a few minutes early." Yuri replied.

"We decided to come and visit our sister before you stole us away." Narberal added.

"Lord Argenti." Aureole greeted. "It's an honor to have you here."

"It's my pleasure." I replied as I gazed around at the trees that stood around the structure. "It truly is beautiful here. I can understand why you would not wish to leave here."

Despite her having bandages over her eyes, I could feel her gaze on me. "It is beautiful, isn't it? Well, I won't keep you two from our Lord. Have fun sisters."

"What are we doing today My Lord?" Yuri asked.

"I was thinking about having a picnic instead of eating in a building." I replied.

"And what is a... Picnic?" Narberal asked.

"Traditionally, a couple, or family, even a group of friends could do it, but they lay out a blanket on the ground, and sit on the blanket, then they have a basket of simple ingredients to make simple but enjoyable food. It's a very relaxing way to have a meal and bond with others." I stated. "It's something that I've always wanted to do and figured I could share it with you two. If you both enjoy it, then we can do it in the future as well."

"It sounds... Interesting." Narberal said slowly. "I am not used to eating meals so it seems alien to me still."

"But you eat and drink with Aureole." I noted.

"Yes, tea and cakes." Yuri spoke. "But those are hardly these, full meals, that you enjoy."

"True." I said, rubbing my chin in thought. "Do you dislike eating then? We don't have to if it makes you uncomfortable."

"No no, it is enjoyable just foreign to us." Yuri replied.

"Ah. That's good then." I said as we stepped into the sixth floor. "There is a beautiful lake here that I was wanting to eat at. I was hoping you two would enjoy the scenery."

"I have never been far into this floor." Narberal said slowly.

"Well, follow along. It isn't too much if a hike from here."

The two followed behind me, one or the other would say something every now and again, to which I would reply and answer any of the questions they asked. Often times it would be about different plants or animals in the forest. While I did not know all of them, I knew how to identify many, at least to its base, if there were two very similar things, I would explain that I didn't know the exact difference.

After a little over twenty minutes, we reached a large lake that was hidden in the trees, the water was a crystal blue, the land around the water's edge was covered in tiny, smooth pebbles of carrying colors from black to tan, even a few white ones here and there. After that, it faded into gentle grass and flowers for tens of meters before it hit the tree line.

"This is... Beautiful." Yuri Alpha spoke, her face showing her surprise and shock. "Lord Blue Planet made all this?"

"Yes, he did." I replied. "This is a place he didn't show to the others, we just found it over time, I stumbled onto it one day and fell in love with it. It's so peaceful and calm here."

"I wouldn't mind staying here..." Narberal said softly.

I chuckled, once having a similar thought, now, however, I had to much battle lust to ever stay in a peaceful place like this for a very long time. "Come on." I said, walking towards the shore, as I neared I reached into my inventory and pulled out a cloth and spread it out over the soft earth.

"Lord Argenti! We can't!" Narberal gasped, seeing a rectangle with a shape embroidered into the center of the rectangle, the shape being leaf-like blade, with teeth near the base, and two more leaf-like blades forming an upside-down T. In each of the four corners of the rectangle were lightning bolts. It was a simple design, but my guildmates had insisted I create a flag. A symbol. This one so happened to be on a blanket. Possibly a bit narcissistic, but I couldn't bring myself to care about that.

"Nonsense." I spoke. "It's nothing truly important. It's just a blanket. Besides, I am treating you to this, what better way to do so than use this?"

The two seemed unconvinced and I sighed. "The reason I don't really care is because I had never wanted a flag. I made this because they wanted me to. The only one I own that means anything to me is the one they made. Other than that one piece, these are virtually meaningless to me. I was always a loner, so why would I need a flag?" I shrugged. "To me, it's just a cloth. You won't offend me by stepping or sitting on it."

The two seemed to accept, albeit begrudgingly. After they were situated, I pulled out a basket and set it the center. "Okay, so what we'll be eating are called sandwiches, I doubt that you've had them before, but they're very good, easy to make, and very customizable." I said as I placed bread, meat, vegetables, and bowls of sauces on the blanket. "The basic components are simple, two slices of bread with meat between them." I explained as I took two slices and put a few slices of beef on one of the pieces of bread. "Then, you can add sauces and vegetables to make it taste how you please."

They looked interested as I finished the sandwich, having put pretty well everything, aside from horseradish on it. "You can play around with it, figure out what you like and don't like." I said as cheerfully as I could. With a deep, gravely voice it was hard to show joy through words, but I thought I managed alright.

We stayed at the lake's edge for several hours, Yuri and Narberal experimented with the sandwiches, eventually finding combinations that they liked, after several amusing failures. It was probably wrong of me, but I found the sight of the proud and powerful battle maids being defeated by a simpler food very hilarious. They, of course, found it extremely frustrating but were immensely pleased whenever they were able to put something together that they liked.

After figuring out how to make their sandwiches, the two battle maids launched into a debate about what made a sandwich good.

I laughed softly, tossing in my opinion here and there.

Eventually, we left, the maids returning to their duties, and I had a few more things I needed to do before the days end.

After walking through the halls of Nazarick for a long while, I found my way to my destination, a grim look set in my face. I looked up at the large grave vault and ordered one of the minions to announce my presence.

Within moments I was standing in Shalltear's room, said vampire walked into my sight wearing only a corset. I let out a soft groan as she approached with a lewd smile and an extra sway to her hips. "I'd hoped you'd be back, My Lord." She spoke, her voice promising pleasure.

"Shalltear." I growled out, I was glad that this body couldn't blush. "I didn't come for... That."

She frowned lightly. "No? If not, then why?"

"I came to talk about what we did yesterday."

"You came to talk about us fucking? What's there to talk about? We did it, it was fun, and it felt good."

"Yes." I said. "But why? Why did we do it? I thought you loved Ainz."

"I do like Ainz." She replied. "And I wasn't intending on doing it at first, but seeing you take my vampire bride, it looked good, so I wanted it too."

I didn't know what to say. "B-but what about Ainz!? Are you sure you can sleep around and still be with Ainz?"

"Why not? It's just sex." A look of realization dawned on her face. "You didn't think I meant anything by it?" She asked, and I had the decency to look away. She gave a melodic laugh. "I must beg for my forgiveness Lord Argenti, but you seem to be confused. Sex is just a fun way to pass time. It means nothing." She giggled. "Besides, you're a supreme being. It's your right to use us how you please."

I frowned lightly. "So... In essence, it's a hobby for you?"

She shrugged. "That's how Lord Peroroncino made me to be." Her visage then turned very seductive. "Now that that's out of our way, do you want to entertain this 'hobby' of mine?"

I grunted. "No. Not today. I need to think."

"Think about what My Lord?" She asked.

"About how I feel about this." I replied. "I'm going to the arena. Fighting usually clears my head."

"Do you want me to come as well?"

"Not this time Shalltear. It's hard enough to keep my hands off you as it is. If we fought... We'd probably end up fucking in the arena."

"I wouldn't mind that." She practically purred.

A low rumble echoed from my chest. "Shalltear." My voice was far deeper, mixing the rumble that my body was letting loose. "As much as I want to waste the day away fucking time rabbits, I need to sort out my head."

She sighed but nodded. Accepting but not happy.

"Thank you Shalltear." I spoke and headed toward the exit. [Cocytus. Are you busy?] I asked, silently casting the message spell.

[No. My. Lord.] Came his reply.

[Please meet me on the sixth floor. I need to spar.]

[Is. Every-thing. Alright. My. Lord?] He asked.

[I need to clear my head. A good spar usually does it for me.] I replied.

[I. Ser. I. Will. Be. There. Short-ly.]

[Good. Thank you Cocytus.]

Chapter End

Alrighty then! A shorter chapter, I hope it's still good regardless.

Now, onto something else! An Omake! While I was at work, this idea popped into my head, and I found it hilarious. I figured, since this chapter would be shorter, I could throw this in as well.

Note! This will NOT be an actual part of the story! It's too far out of the personality of the characters used in the Omake and of the story itself.

That being said, please enjoy this stupid, ridiculous little thing.

Omake Begin!

"Zesshi Zetsumei?" Argenti asked. "Who is that?"

Ainz looked up at the massive lizard. "She's a half-elf woman, the 'trump card' of the Theocrasy. She and a few members of the black scripture are heading this way. I want you to go and capture them, if that's not possible, kill them."

Argenti nodded, stroking his chin, his battle plan already forming. "Okay. I'll need some backup. I think Cocytus, Aura, and Mare should do, along with a few hundred of the respawning undead."

Ainz raised an eyebrow, confused but accepted nonetheless.

Argenti greeted his team, telling them his plan and their positions. Aura accepted, Mare did as well though nervously, Cocytus was confused but trusted his lord.

Soon they were on their way.

Elsewhere.

"It seems our presence was noticed." The Thousand Leagues Astrologer declared.

"What do you mean?" Zesshi asked.

"A large Lizardman, an insect monster, and a dark elf boy are heading our way with a troupe of undead that appears to number two hundred."

The captain of the black scripture frowned at this. "I had hoped we would be able to accomplish this unspotted."

Zesshi snorted. From what she had heard of this place, not being seen was impossible. Glancing around, she knew their meager support would be slaughtered. She didn't particularly mind.

It wasn't long before their foe arrived, and as she suspected their support, the men and scouts were slaughtered, the undead barely glanced their way before making a ring around the six figures.

The large Lizardman stepped forward. "Greetings!" He called cheerfully. "My name is Argenti, of the Great Tomb of Nazarick! Unfortunately, we must do battle now, since your country hates us." He stepped back and spoke more loudly, much like an announcer, or town crier. "The stage is set! Combatants, get ready!" The members of the Black Scripture barely had time to prepare when he spoke again. "Aura! Use whiplash! Cocytus use Great Slash!"

The two guardians dashed forward and engaged their instructed opponents. Cocytus attacking the captain, and Aura attacking the Astrologer.

Zesshi shot toward Agenti, engaging him with swift and powerful strikes, however, he was easily able to keep pace with her.

The captain and the astrologer, on the other hand, found that their foes were uncommonly easy to defeat. Both of the guardians were laying on the ground with comical swirls in their eyes.

The captain felt that there was something wrong, but with Zesshi quickly losing ground, he had to act. "Surround him!" He commanded.

An instant later, Argenti found himself in the middle of their triangle formation. "Give up beast!" The captain ordered.

Argenti grinned, his grin entering levels of shit eating that should not have been possible. "I'm sorry." He said. "But you've just activated my trap card."

Vines shot from the earth binding the three members of the black scripture while Mare followed, bursting from the ground with a feminine shout. He quickly knocked the three shocked people unconscious.

In Nazarick

"You've just activated my trap card." Ainz dropped the viewing mirror and slammed his bony face into the desk before him.

Omake End!

Okay, I hope that was as funny as it was in my head. Anyhow, thanks for reading. Leave a review! Also, if you know anyone willing to beta overlord fics, please tell me.
