Chapter 325 - 49: Nao Vs Momonga! (II) (1/2)
A/N : Aht here! Note up here today.
This wraps up the tournament and now only npc creation is left and bringing Peroroncino in before the New World. Don't worry, Nao will hunt the remaining World Items, leaving Ainz with 11 like in the original, Nao will prob end up with 189 of the 200.
But the New World is very close at hand. Besides having Nao meet Zesshi and toppling the elf king to bring her in, I've not much planned. What do you guys want to see?
Anything Holy Kingdom or Re-estize Kingdom related has a specific deadline, by current volume in the LN, the two essentially no longer exist on map. Spoiler alert.
Don't forget to keep dropping those power stones!

While it was still a bit too early to say, Eve finally took her stance to join Nao's family. Her body would be created by Nao and Miya would work her magic together with him to give her a soul to transfuse into it! Only then would she truly become a human like how Miya is.
But that wouldn't happen till the body was ready, and Nao was planning to create the npcs in one fell swoop too. But right now that was the last thing on his mind. He was currently in an epic match against one of his favorite characters in Overlord, Momonga!
Two large streaks of lightning could be seen crackling and dancing in Nao's hands. Space distorted around Momonga's bony fingers. He did a slashing motion three times with his arms, sending off three Reality Slashes. Nao shot off his lightning together, striking against the three. Despite being a tier in difference, the two blue lightning bolts still hit the three Reality Slashes head on.
Space bent sideways the moment they struck each other. Two of the three Reality Slashes tore against the two lightning bolts. They cancelled each other out, creating thunderous booms in the sky. The third one was not so lucky and aimed straight at Nao. It stuck his silvery body. Space distorted around him, as if his body got sliced in half. Rainbow pixels leaked out horizontally from the gash.
His health dropped below 50% at that time. Momonga was no slouch either. The two now had health below 50%, and Nao closed the two's distance by quite a bit.
Momonga did cast both spells to monitor one's hp and mp while Nao only casted the spell to monitor mp. At the very beginning, Nao's mp pool was a spiraling pillar of energy, larger than Momonga's. It had shrunk considerably to where its only several feet above Nao's figure. Likewise, when Nao observed Momonga, his mp aura was shrunk considerably closer to his body. This meant both players didn't have much mp left.
Yet Nao could restore his all the way back up if he wanted to. But he didn't want to rely on that. If possible he wanted to take out Momonga before he was forced to use it.
With that in mind, Nao, who was closer within range now but still mid-air, flapped his wings. He raised his left hand, and tapped another icon, and a triple milky white mana circle appeared from his palm.
Momonga flew up a bit to meet him, and did the same. This time a triple red mana circle appeared from his palm. The two yelled out their next spell.
”Maximize Magic, Holy Judgement!”
”Maximize Magic, Vermillion Nova!”
The two yelled out casting two more tier ten spells like it was nothing. Many particles of light formed around Nao, very similar to Astral Smite. But each one was showered with a white-bluish glow, and were larger in size. Nao directed these needles at Momonga.
As for Momonga, a huge fiery red ball of flame burst out, destroying some of the projectiles along its path, before reaching Nao. Nao's body was engulfed by a large flame, and his health rapidly decreased. Momonga also took many of Nao's projectiles and his health further dropped, as if he was being judged. The more he took the faster his health dropped.
After each spell finished, rainbow pixels leaked out in several areas on both player's bodies. The cheers didn't stop either. The more Momonga fought, the more he appeared as Nao's equal. This brought excitement to both of the Guilds.
The two healed themselves back up over 70% hp, only to start another exchange of spells. This cycle would rinse and repeat over and over, and time dragged on, but neither side gave up.
Nao was getting dreary, and so was Momonga. Even with Nao's Bluefire that caused true damage, Momonga was able to persist.
The two even had a clash of Angels, Beasts and Undead summons, only for it to draw the crowd's attention with cheers. As their summons clashed on, Nao stared silently at Momonga. It wasn't until now did Momonga speak out to Nao.
”You have quite a variety of spells, Metatron, but it appears we have reached at an impasse.”
”I agree. You've proven yourself worthy to be both a friend and a rival. Your controlling is well deserved.”
”Haha! That is something I can agree on as well. But there can be only one winner. I may be a selfish person, but the competitive flame in me isn't dying down.”
”Likewise. I've reached this far. We've both our own supporters cheering us on too. I think we've given a crowd a good show thus far. What do you think, Momonga?”
”Mmm. The disdain that was directed to us for being Hetermorphs was long since flushed away, though I don't think our match alone would completely get rid of that hatred. Nonetheless, we did give them a good show.”, Momonga replied with a smile emote.
”Then why not go out with a bang?”
”Hmm? How do you propose we do that? Another string of chants, launching our most powerful spells?”
”That is good thinking, Momonga, but I want something else. Super class spells!”
