Chapter 323 - 47: Moving On Up (1/2)

Nao had his first match in the World Champion 512 Tournament that ended up with his victory, moving on up to the top 256.

He faced off against Perorocino, and the match was quick and decisive. It seemed Perorocino wanted to avoid a battle of attrition, and in the end it ended in Nao's favor.

It only took one battle to change Peroroncino's of Nao as well, despite being one of the Supreme Beings. Nao also liked his personality that's been recently shaping. He now had interest in bringing Peroroncino in to his home earlier than later,.

Nao made quick conversation with Peroroncino before he vanished, asking if he had created any npcs yet. Peroroncino answered him honestly, and said he hadn't created any yet for Ainz Oowl Gown, but he had an idea in his mind to create one. He wasn't sure why Nao asked that about Peroroncino's own Guild nonetheless, but he did express his interest to invite Peroroncino to his home. His sister was living with Nao now, so he was interested. Peroroncino left the arena after saying he was looking forward to it.

Hearing that on his end when Peroroncino left, Nao became surprised too. He was definitely looking forward to bringing Peroroncino to his home now. He also discovered that Peroroncino has yet to create Shaltear! There are only four years left now, and since he had interest in creating an npc, it would probably happen within the year.

Nao had his private talk with Miya already about his worry about Shaltear joining his family, as well as the Albedo sisters. He did not have to worry about Dark Elf twins as their personalities suited Nao. It was mostly Shaltear and Albedo he was worrying about. Since Tabula was one of his brothers now, he has more freedom to adjust the settings of the Albedo sisters.

So the main question now was Shaltear, and since Peroroncino hadn't created her yet, he has more of a chance to bring him over altogether. Bukubukuchagama would just need to do a bit of 'persuading'. And once Peroroncino joins, he will have free reign to adjust Shaltear's settings to his liking.

So things were looking up! Nao was looking forward to the results of the World Champion Tournament, and what was to come in these last four years.

Moving along, the arena returned its destructive state back to normal. He received a system notification that the 256 would start shortly.

Sure enough he found his body glow blue, before he vanished. Though it was strange because he found himself appearing in the same arena again.

'Guess there's a system in place for this...', Nao said, thinking to himself. Thinking that, he saw a blue light form not too far away from him. What appeared was actually a slender figure. It was a female player!

This female player was wearing dragoon-like red armor, very similar to a Valkyrie in fact. A red b.r.e.a.s.tplate covered her chest and red leggings over her legs. Her face was hidden away by a red helmet, with two flame-like extensions on its sides. She had teal hair flowing down her back. Besides the red cloth covering her hip, the rest of her body was exposed. A fine looking steel-silver one handed blade rested over her left shoulder.

Nao couldn't help but inwardly grin seeing this player. She was one of the five players who brought down Momonga when Touch Me and Nao's party first met him while Momonga was being attacked!

Yet he didn't even do anything before the female player saw her opponent was a Heteromorph, and suddenly let out a curse with a frown emote.

”Ugh, a shitty inhuman. Why do I have to be so unlucky?”

”You sure about that? We both won our first match.”

”I'll be the one to defeat you and move on!”

”Those who say that tend to lose you know. No wonder why your previous party of 5 was slain so easily a while back.”

”And how the f.u.c.k would you know that!?”, The female player cursed out once more. A moment passed before something dawned on her, causing her to yell out in annoyance. ”Wait. Don't tell me you were with that stupid skeleton back then!?”

”Bingo. I'll teach you a good fundamental of PvP matches.”

”I don't want a shitty inhuman like you lecturing me! It's your own fault for choosing that race.”

Hearing her say that, the female player saw Nao shrug his shoulders. She harrumphed at him, but didn't say anything else. She then took her own battle stance, while Nao wielded his staff.

A count down started, and the match started. The female player started to unleash one of her skills, letting a red aura clad her sword.

Yet she couldn't even act before she was disturbed by Nao's chanting.

”Greater full potential. Time stop!”, Nao suddenly yelled out. A pale yellow aura surrounded him, letting his spells reach their full potential. Immediately after that, the atmosphere around the female changed color, to different shades of gray. The female player was surprised to find her character suddenly not able to respond. She found herself inflicted with Mute too, she she couldn't talk!

This played out very similarly to how Ainz faced off against a certain head warrior. Nao casually walked up to the female player, and spoke out to her. Even though time was stopped, she could probably still hear him.

”Time spells are so convenient, aren't they? I really ought to use time spells more, but I'm always hesitant no matter where I am, because of the rebound they can have. But one must take measures against them in any PvP match. It's surprising you even made it this far, hahaha!”, Nao spoke out to her with a laugh.

”But you said you didn't want me to lecture you, so I'll keep my words there. Enjoy your trip back into the stands.”, Nao said with a smile emote.
