Further behind him stood six beautiful figures, each a jewel in their own way. Six absolute stunners wearing maid uniforms were standing neatly in line with their heads slightly bowed, waiting for their lord's arrival. The Six Pleiades had naturally been summoned as well. Even further behind stood the lonesome figure of a punkish, thug like man with dark skin and shockingly yellow eyes. Lycan likewise had been summoned to this place by his lord, although probably not as punishment seeing as he was able to restrain himself from killing Zesshi when she was knocked out by Sebas.
In the middle of the group stood the most prominent members as all the available Guardians had been gathered. Each of them managed a terrifying amount of tasks in and out of Nazarick, but naturally they wouldn't hesitate to respond to their master's summons even if they had to drop everything and rush over.
Demiurge, Cocytus, Sebas, Shalltear, Mare and even Victim had all gathered along with some of their aides to come and witness what their lord would do with the remaining humans that were still trapped inside the human city.
Not long after they had all gathered did another gate appear with Ainz stepping out of it as he radiated an incredible dark presence that made the weaker members of this group stand stiff from fear. Ainz looked towards the capital for a brief moment as everyone waited in silence for their Lord to speak out, and even Roune and the others from the Empire would naturally never dare to interrupt the thoughts of someone as dangerous as Ainz.
After awhile, Ainz finally turned around to greet the members of the group that had responded to his call as he began to speak in a most regal and authoritarian tone.
"First off, I'd like to thank you all for going along with my selfishness and attending this meeting on such short notice, especially you members of the Baharuth embassy and 8th floor guardian Victim."
"Em deciton iapnes (it is nothing my lord)."
"Of course we would answer your call, Sorcerer King. After all, it is vital for strengthening the bond between our nations."
Ainz gave a slight "Umu" sound as he continued talking.
"Today is a momentous day for Nazarick. Just once in our entire existence was there a deviation from my plans that brought great horror and pain to my heart and caused the death of one of my subordinates. After extensive searching, we never did find out who caused that atrocity until today."
Ainz seemed to glance over towards Roune and his group as he spoke.
"Initially, I merely wanted to send a message to the nation that despises those who are not human so much by showing them the true meaning of fear and despair. Wiping out their main fighting force and leaving none but the citizens would have sufficed at first. But now…"
The skeleton's tone got even darker as his voice seemed to contain a slight trace of almost undetectable fury that boiled somewhere deep within him like a sleeping Volcano.
"An attack can be forgiven and hatred can be ignored but murder can never be taken back or payed back no matter how many mountains of gold one offers. For the crimes of attacking one of my subordinates and putting her in a situation that led to her destruction, I hereby declare the citizens of this capital to be put under the super tier spell [Rain of Banjir], in other words…
"COMPLETE EXECUTION OF EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM!"
Every single one of the humans present was shaking in their boots from the words that they had just heard. They all knew that Ainz had the power to wipe humans out like one would step on an insect if he so wished, but to hear him say such things and to see him do it was another. Amongst all the human spectators, only one was not shaking due to fear but instead…
"Roune-dono, I'd like to hear your opinion first. If considering all the offences that the Theocracy has against Nazarick, what do you think the other nation's reaction will be to us destroying one of their cities?"
Roune twitched as he heard Ainz speak his name. At this time, he already had half a mind to make a run for it as pointless as it may seem. Collecting his thoughts, he finally made up his mind and managed to squeeze out an answer.
"Yes, your majesty, considering your alliance with the Empire we are naturally not going to take offence to you destroying one city if their crimes are so heinous. As for the Kingdom, at this point they no longer have the strength to complain about anything that you would do. Neither does the Draconic Kingdom since they are currently at war with the beast men and the citizens of Roble couldn't care less about what goes on behind their wall. That's as far as all the human nations in the vicinity go, if we take into account the non-human nations than they would probably rejoice since the Theocracy is famous for hunting down all bipedal creatures that aren't human."
The men behind Roune were slightly baffled by Roune's words as calling someone your majesty was an honor usually reserved for only one's own despot, but it was understandable considering the immense pressure that one faced when talking to someone as imposing as Ainz. If anything, it was impressive that Roune still managed to produce such a complete and eloquent answer at all.
"Hmm, about the same as what Demiurge had said so it must be true."
Ainz now turned his gaze back to the capital as he stared with a profaned look at the walls and buildings of this city. In every single one of those buildings, there were probably humans hiding, praying for salvation, holding their children closer as they cowered in fear and hoped for the storm to pass them.
At this moment, Ainz felt a slight regret of his words, in a moment he would be committing a crime that would most likely mean that he tossed off the final remnants of his humanity. The massacre on Katze Plains was a demonstration of his power and an act of war and all the other immoral schemes he had pulled off in the past were all for the sake of Nazarick. But this time….
There is still time for me to take back my words. If I don't kill them all but rather enslave or banish…
But then memories of him killing Shalltear flowed into his mind, of him expending days of scheming and planning to avoid the same mistake twice. All of it had brought Ainz no end of misery and at the end of it all…
He was still alone in this world.
Secretly, he had hoped that he would finally meet another player. Even if he was hostile and his enemy, it would give Ainz peace to know that he is not alone in this strange world. But his hopes had been shattered.
With that last wandering thought, Ainz…
"Let us begin!"
A vast myriad of magic circles began to swirl around Ainz as he activated his spell. The formations and letters seemed to constantly change as to Roune and his men it was hard to imagine what level of spell exactly this was. Since he called it super tier magic, it seemed like it was even higher than 10th, on the same level as the spell he used when he wiped out the army of Re-Estize.
As the magic spell was preparing, not a single one of the spectators dared to say a word or interrupt Ainz as if they feared that the next target of his spells would be them. All of them could but look in awe or fear as the spell readied.
After some time passed, the spell was finally ready and an air of satisfaction could be felt from Ainz as he spread out his arms towards the city and launched his spell.
"Now go, [Rain of Banjir]!"
…
…
…..
Inside the capital, mass panic ensued once more. Although chaos was still raging rampant, the army had been at least somewhat successful. But now the entire city had been thrown into chaos once more as pitch black clouds had appeared above the city.
