OVERLORD: The Second Supreme Being

After preparing, Shalltear followed Peroroncino to E-Rantel to meet with Yulia and Nana.

"Chino-niisan, who is she?" Nana asked curiously upon seeing Shalltear.

"Her name is Shaya," Peroroncino replied.

"Master, can I also call you Chino-niisan?" Shalltear eagerly asked, hoping to address Peroroncino in the same way.

"Of course. Let's go!"

The group went to the Adventurer's Guild to accept their mission. The staff warmly provided Yulia with directions on whom to meet upon reaching the capital.

After leaving E-Rantel, they teleported to an area near the outskirts of the capital. Once inside, they first checked into a tavern.

In a corner of the tavern, Peroroncino's attention was drawn to a group of three: a blonde woman in a red robe wearing a mask, a muscular woman, and an ordinary-looking boy.

"Eye of Insight"

Name: Evileye

Class: Vampire

Level: 60

...

"I heard E-Rantel now has two teams of adamantite-ranked adventurers," Evileye said to Gagaran.

"Two teams at once? Is the bar for adamantite rank that low now?" Gagaran asked skeptically.

"They were promoted due to a severe crisis. The members of the two teams are said to know each other."

"What did they do to earn the rank?"

"The first team consists of a warrior named Momon, known as the 'Dark Hero,' and a magic caster called Nabe, referred to as the 'Beautiful Princess.'

"First, they wiped out an ogre and goblin band heading south. They subdued the Wise King of the Forest.

"Then, when E-Rantel was attacked by tens of thousands of undead led by a powerful undead magic caster, the military suffered heavy losses, and several mithril-ranked adventurers perished. Momon's arrival immediately turned the tide."

"They also defeated Clementine, the former Ninth Seat of the Black Scripture who had reached the realm of heroes, and Khajiit, a member of the secret organization Zuranon.

"Additionally, they vanquished a powerful vampire. After the battle, the area was reduced to a barren wasteland of sand."

"That's truly impressive," Gagaran remarked.

"Are they stronger than you, Gagaran?" Climb asked.

"I can handle ogres and goblins, but defeating someone in the hero realm or tens of thousands of undead is beyond me."

"Reaching the hero realm is the pinnacle of human ability. Facing someone like that, I'd likely die."

"Momon is truly remarkable!" Climb said with admiration.

"What about the second team?"

"Not much is known about them. The leader is named Chino, though no one has ever seen him fight. The real strength lies with one member."

"She is Yulia, called the 'Goddess of Hope' by E-Rantel's soldiers.

"During the undead assault on the city, she single-handedly stabilized the collapsing frontline, saving countless lives. She is also known as the 'Shadow Blade Maiden.'

"As for Chino, many in E-Rantel dismiss him as a freeloader unworthy of being on the same team as Yulia.

"However, Yulia is fiercely loyal to him. Anyone speaking ill of Chino in her presence risks incurring her wrath."

"What did they do to earn adamantite rank?"

"Yulia saved thousands of soldiers during the undead siege and jumped off the wall to single-handedly stop the undead from advancing a single step further."

"Since Momon and Nabe became adamantite-ranked, they've passed all their missions to Chino and Yulia.

"Their team is highly efficient, completing missions that would normally require a dozen people with just three members, and doing so perfectly.

"Later, they even defeated a giant Basilisk."

"Who's the third member of their team?"

"A seven-year-old girl. No one knows her abilities, but rumors say Chino is a lolicon who added her to the team because of that."

"Men like him are the worst—relying on women while doing nothing themselves. If I see him, I'll beat him up," Gagaran said angrily.

"I can't ignore those words," Yulia stood up and said.

Evileye, Gagaran, and Climb turned to look at her—a beautiful woman dressed provocatively was staring back at them.

"I didn't even notice her presence earlier," Evileye thought, alarmed.

Everyone in the tavern turned their attention to Yulia.

"This goddess—I must have been blind not to notice her earlier!"

"She's stunning! I'd willingly be her dog."

"A dog? I'd castrate myself to be her slave, just to see her every day!"

Many patrons in the tavern were instantly captivated by Yulia's charm.

"Who are you?" Gagaran asked.

"I am Yulia," she replied, showing her adamantite adventurer's badge.

"She's even more beautiful than Princess Renner! But my heart remains loyal to the princess," Climb thought.

"What do you want? Why should I apologize?"

"You have two choices: apologize to Lord Chino or duel me. The loser apologizes," Yulia said calmly.

"And if I refuse?"

"Then I'll make you apologize by force," Yulia said flatly.

As an adamantite adventurer, Gagaran had status and reputation. There was no way she would apologize easily.

"Are you brainwashed by Chino? To me, he's just trash," Gagaran said.

Shing! Yulia's blade was instantly at Gagaran's face.

"Magic Shield!"

Evileye appeared in front of Gagaran, blocking the attack.

"You dare attack my companion?" Evileye asked, realizing how close Gagaran had been to death. This woman's strength was far beyond the hero realm.

Before Evileye could retaliate, a chill ran down her spine.

Clink! A seven-year-old girl with two black daggers appeared behind her, stabbing at her back. The daggers were blocked by the magic shield, but cracks formed.

"A ninja?!" Gagaran and Evileye were stunned.

"Stop!" Before the fight escalated, a calm, commanding voice rang out.

"I apologize for failing to control them," Peroroncino said, his tone serene.

"Nana, Yulia, apologize," he ordered.

"Sorry!" Yulia bowed sincerely.

"Sorry!" Nana mimicked her and bowed as well.

The genuine apologies diffused the tension, and Gagaran and Evileye decided to let it go.

"You two must be members of Blue Roses, the other adamantite team," Peroroncino said.

"Control your people," Gagaran snapped, turning to leave.

Evileye, however, stood frozen in place.

When Peroroncino had spoken, Shalltear had shot her a menacing glare. At that moment, Evileye felt all her strength leave her as if she were falling into an abyss.

"Evileye!" Gagaran shouted, shaking her shoulder. Evileye collapsed to the ground.

"Evileye, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Let's go," Evileye said shakily, struggling to her feet.

"Did they do something to you?"

"No, it's my problem. Let's leave."

Peroroncino turned to Shalltear.

"Did you do something unnecessary?"

Shalltear nodded.
