Super-tier Magic

Dōji thought about it for a while, Aura was in a sense right they couldn't do much right now, but there was someone who still needed to speak up.

He turned his gaze and looked at the last person who had seen Shaltear.

But before he could ask, another one asked the question he wanted to ask, Demiurge.

"Sebas, I have to ask you, as you were the last person who had been in contact with Shalltear. Did anything happen before you parted ways?"

Demiurge and Albedo had already been looking at Sebas since earlier, as they knew that he was the last among them who had been in contact with her.

But the rest only realized this after Demiurge mentioned it.

Sebas feeling the gazes of all people present, didn't feel pressured but took on a thinking pose for a second before replying.

"A group of bandits decided to try and raid our carriage on our way towards the capital. Lady Shalltear took them as her meal and planned to raid their hideout afterward in search of strong people to bring back to Lord Ainz in accordance with his orders."

"We parted ways with Lady Shalltear before she went after them, so my personal guess would be that something happened there. I am very sorry but this is all that I can tell you."

Sebas bowed slightly after completing his narration, indicating that this was truly all he could tell.

Dōji narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you remember the place in which the hideout of those bandits was according to the investigation?"

Sebas shook his head, "I am deeply sorry, but I do not know the place as Lady Shalltear used her ability to turn one of the bandits into a lesser vampire to guide them."

Nodding at this Albedo concluded, "We need to investigate the places which could serve as Hideouts for bandits between Shalltear's current Location and the location where the ambush on your carriage happened."

Demiurge agreed, "Please try to give us accurate information on where the ambush happened, this will be very crucial in our investigation."

"If we can find the hideout we may be able to more accurately reconstruct where and how Shalltear was mind controlled." Dōji nodded along and then turned to Albedo, "Can you tell us where Shalltear is at the moment and what she is doing?"

"Of course, Shalltear is inside a forest close to E-Rantel, she is standing still in place without moving. The surroundings look like a fight happened beforehand, but nothing more for any indication about what happened." Albedo explained simply and then seemed to think of something.

"Right there were a couple of Mountains close to it, maybe we can find a hideout suitable for these bandits to use."

"Is Nigredo still keeping an eye on her?" Dōji asked something important, "We shouldn't let her out of our vision. Maybe in this way, we can catch the one who manipulates her when he comes to give new orders. Although I doubt such a thing we shouldn't leave any possibilities open."

"Eldest Sister is keeping a close eye on her and will repeat any movement she detects."

"Should we send someone out to search the surroundings around Shalltear's Location?" Aura threw an idea in the mix.

And received three people shaking their heads, with Demiurge explaining it, "No we shouldn't, not just because Lord Ainz didn't give an order, but more so because we are not sure about the opponent's ability. Can he only use the mind control on one target or more for example?"

Aura nodded in understanding, "Damn how can she be such an idiot... getting mind controlled as an Undead..."

Although Aura's tone sounded annoyed, each of the Guardians could feel the worry in her words.

"Big Sister... Shalltear is going to be fine... Lord Ainz will surely have a way..." Mare tried to comfort her.

But Aura just played annoyed, "You talk like I'm worried about such an idiot!"

"Even if we can't turn her back, I believe that Lord Ainz will revive her after she dies. Then the Mind Control should similarly have disappeared..." Dōji's words may sound uncomfortable, but they all believed that Shalltear would rather die than go against their Lord.

Because if anyone was in her situation, then they would rather die than go against their Lord.

At this time Albedo seemed to get a [Message] communication from Lord Ainz.

And after talking with him it was determined that she together with Mare and Aura would go ahead to meet with Lord Ainz there.

They would be cleaning up some bugs before trying to free Shalltear from the mind control with a special Item is what she told the rest of the Guardians who were supposed to be on standby.

Ainz even specifically mentioned, that this would include Shiro and Yoru, as both of them were at the same level as the Guardians strength-wise and had their own unique abilities.

"Yes my Lord, we will meet there with you." Albedo Saif her goodbyes to Lord Ainz, before turning to the others and giving the orders of their Lord to them.

As ordered, she met with him in close proximity to the place where Shalltear was currently.

After meeting up with him, Albedo planned to inform their Lord about their own deductions and possible reasons for Shalltear's current situation.

The problem was that they first needed to get rid of the bugs who dared to disregard her Lord.

It was a group of Adventurers who planned to badmouth their master's new build persona called "Momon".

Which had already gotten fame through the impedance and destruction of the Undead uprising the night before in the city E-Rantel.

They were of the opinion that Momon's rise in power from the lowest bronze rank to Mythril rank in a single night was not a rightful thing at all.

Rather they were jealous and now they paid a heavy price for this jealousy, being eradicated by Albedo, Mare, and Aura.

"My Lord, the bugs have been eradicated and Mare is bringing the corpses back to Nazarick."

Albedo then came to the place from which Ainz was currently gazing at Shalltear in the distance.

He had already switched out of his "Dark Warrior" gear and was back in his usual raven black robe.

"Good Albedo, now you wanted to speak with me about something, but that will have to wait until after we have dealt with the situation at hand."

Albedo just thought that ahead could tell her Master about the conversation and conclusions which the Guardians had and reached, but was stopped immediately.

And as all beings of Nazarick remain absolutely loyal to Lord Ainz, she couldn't contradict his order right now.

"Yes Lord Ainz."

Ainz and Albedo, who were in her full battle gear then slowly came towards the vicinity of Shalltear, just as they reached that place, Albedo's emotions got the better of her.

Because of her annoyance with the whole situation, which had only intensified by the words of Doji and the talk of the Guardians, she went ahead and tried to ask Shalltear what was wrong with her.

"Hey Shalltear Bloodfallen! What brings you a Guardian, a creation of the Supreme...!?!"

But Ainz held her back, he seemed to have a serious look on his face even though it was just a skeletal face, Albedo somehow felt it.

So she didn't continue but asked, "Lord Ainz what do you plan to do?"

"Oh... I will use an Item which can be said to be one of the rarest items in Yggdrasil..." He then showed Albedo a ring, with three shooting stars on it.

"Thos ring is called "Wish upon a star" and it can fulfill the user's wishes for an equal amount of experience points..."

Shortly explaining the function, Ainz didn't dangle around but cast the spell, which was originally a super-tier magic spell that was then bound into a ring.

A gigantic magic circle with countless permanently shuffling runes appeared around Ainz, being at least 5 meters in diameter it also covered Albedo inside of it.

Breaking a small hourglass in his hand, Ainz used a cash shop item to bypass the casting time of the spell and cast it immediately.

"[Wish upon a Star] remove all status effects on Shalltear Bloodfallen!"

Casting the spell, he called out his wish, but to Ainz's surprise, it seemed in Albedo's eyes, that nothing happened.

Then as if discovering something horrible, Ainz suddenly grabbed her and teleplorted the two away.

Arriving at the place where they had previously met, Ainz let go of her and then she watched as her Lord was engulfed by an anger she had never felt in him.

She watched as he kicked at the ground in endless annoyance and hate, kicking up a huge amount of dust in the process.

She had never seen her Lord so angry and never thought such a thing would be possible but he cursed and cursed until suddenly his anger disappeared...

"What is wrong my Lord? What happened?"

She asked, worry clearly evident in her voice, concern for her master and the fear of the reason for his anger mixing together.

After having calmed down, Ainz turned to her and explained, "[Wish upon a star] didn't work, this leaves only one possibility for Shaltear being Mind Controlled, a World Item."

Albedo's eyes went wide, 'so the reason for her Lord's anger was the existence of other world items?' she thought to herself and then spoke up.

"My Lord, I wanted to inform you of this earlier, but we among the Guardians have previously discussed what could control Shalltear Bloodfallen, which we concluded as only two options."

She paused for a moment before continuing, "One was to be a so-called "Talent" which people in this world seem to be born with and the other being a "World Item". I knew that Lord Ainz was already aware that these were the only possibilities and it is expected of you to have such a way to conclude which is true."

Ainz seemed to gaze at her but she couldn't tell what the reason for his silence was, but her devotion had only grown stronger through the realization that their master had already concluded what they needed to have a thorough discussion about and even found a way to conclude which is the thing that was used to control Shalltear.

"We have determined that Shalltear Bloodfallen has been mind-controlled through the usage of a world-class item now, with your method my Lord. It is as expected of the last Supreme Being, Lord Ainz."

Ainz on the other side simply ignored her endless Parise and said, "Albedo for now we are to return to Nazarick, I need to visit a very important place there..."

"As you wish Lord Ainz."

Ainz then cast a [Gate] spell leading to the central Mausoleum of Nazarick, where Yuri Alpha, the eldest sister of the Pleiades was waiting for them.

Different from the other Guardians who decided to simply wait, Dōji had determined that getting a clear vision of what was happening at Shalltear's Location was necessary so he went to the 5th Floor to meet with Nigredo.

And after experiencing a similar situation to Albedo and Ainz before he asked her if there was a place on the 9th Floor to which she could project the image she sees of Shalltear.

Nigredo of course didn't mind answering, after all the question came from her brother-in-law which was what she used as an address for him, and told him that there was a room on the 9th Floor where she could project the image to.

A Room with a giant crystal ball made exactly for such a purpose.

Dōji thanked her for this information and then went down again to meet up with the other Guardians, who were on standby.

Taking them afterward to the room, they had coke there at the end before Lord Ainz even used the item and were watching the complete scene unfold.

"What. was. that. magic. lord. ainz. used?" Cocytus wasn't the only one who had this question in their hearts, Demiurge, Shiro, and Yoru had the same question.

Npc's were different from players and couldn't learn super-tier magic.

This was a magic tier reserved only for the players.

In Yggdrasil when players learned spells they could learn 3 spells for each level up, resulting in a total of 300 spells. And for each time they learned a tenth tier magic, they could then learn a super tier magic.

This meant that if they invested 10 points to reach tenth-tier spells, from level 1 to level 10th, then they would learn the super-tier magic resulting in each player being able to learn up to 30 super-tier spells.

Now Ainz was a bit special, having specialized in spells in general, he had learned a total of 718 spells, which of those are super tier spells, this is only known to Ainz himself.

Dōji murmured just loud enough for the others to hear his words, "Super tier magic..."

All the eyes in the room immediately gathered on him, as Demiurge was the one to speak up, "Oho... Super tier Magic, truly a magic only the Supreme Beings should be capable of using."

Dōji nodded, "I don't know much myself, but... as far as I know, only the Supreme Beings are capable of earning this magic, though I am sure that is not Lord Ainz's own spell but the ring's which he held into the air while casting."

The others also focused and spotted the ring that Ainz held up in the air as Dōji continued.

"This doesn't mean that Lord Ainz doesn't have his own Super Tier Magic, as far as I have learned, there are two Super Tier magics but probably much more I don't know about..."

"The two being, the destruction magic spell [Fallen Dawn] and the summoning magic spell, which calls forth the children of an outer through an offering, by using [lä Shub-Niggurath]. The other God is the Black Goddes of the bountiful Harvest Shub-Niggurath and her children the Dark Young..."

The words made the people in the room silent for a while, each thinking to themselves what kind of beings the dark Young and their mother Shub-Niggurath could be.

"But it seems like it didn't work..." These words of Dōji again brought their attention to the crystal where Ainz just grabbed Albed and fled the scene in a hurry.

"The reason is probably that a World Item was used to mind-controlled her. Then no matter how powerful the magic is, if it is not of world tier it can't dispel it..."

These words created a solemn atmosphere in the room, and they were currently to be on standby, so they could also do nothing but simply watch what would happen next.

They weren't able to interfere with anything and all they could do was wait for Lord Ainz's next orders.
