Hey, sorry this took so long, I was away with my family for a while, so yeah this took a lot longer than it normally would, but here's the newest chapter, I hope its good, I tried my best really I did, but I'm afraid it'll be a bit too like the anime episodes it's based off, but if that is the case don't worry next chapter will be better.

Chapter 3

After the green flames surrounded part of the city, cutting it off from the other part of the city, all the Adventurers who had been summoned to the Kingdom for Princess Renner's operation had all been gathered in the kingdoms war room, as well as all the knights they could muster up, most of the castle knights would be left behind in order to protect the king, the rest would be joining the Adventurers on the frontline.

Princess Renner was at the head of the table and the leaders of the high class teams were all gathered around the table, with there teams standing behind them.

''My good and brave adventurers, thank you for coming together so quickly in this time of crisis'' Princess Renner said seriously, her tone holding none of the cheer it usually did ''early this mourning, a wall of flames spread around an area of the capital completely cutting it off, these flames seem to be similar to an illusion and coming into contact with them doesn't harm you, the leader of Blue Rose has in fact confirmed this''

''I touched the flames and I wasn't burned'' said Lakyus, speaking up.

''It's not meant to burn you'' said a sudden voice, everyone turned to see a warrior dressed in black armour, this was Momon of Darkness, he was the only one not stood at the table, his only team mate Nabe was stood next to him ''it's not meant to cut off part of the city, the fire is called Flames of Gehenna, it's a perimeter, tell me on the other side were there hoards of Demons?''

''Yes there were, how do you know?'' Lakyus asked.

''The Flames of Gehenna are used by the Demon Kings, its not meant to keep people out nor is it meant to keep people in, it's meant to be a home field advantage for the Demons, while they're in that circle of flames they're powers will be increased'' stated Momon.

This caused the adventurers to murmur fearfully to one another and look at one another, one of the adventurers stepped up ''and how do you know!?'' he demanded.

''Because I've seen them before'' stated Momon ''they're often used by Demon Lords to enhance there armies, as of such we're going to need to deal with this very carefully, Princess if you don't mind my suggestion we're going to need to spread the demon out to make it easier to take them on''

''Oh yeah and why should we listen to you!?'' one of the adventurers demanded.

''He fought Jaldabaoth on equal ground, I saw it'' said Evileye.

''Momon, is one of the few Adamantite Adventurers, his experience is valued in this situation, so I really don't think it matters where he got the experience'' stated Lakyus.

''I agree and I trust Lakyus words, Mr. Momon, I will accept your idea, however I'm not sure if we can do that with the forces we have'' stated Renner.

''Hmm'' Momon mused, putting his hand to his chin trying to think up a plan ''I think I have an idea, it's a long shot but it just might work''

''Whats your plan?'' Lakyus asked.

''My plan, is desperate, but I admit I have nothing else, we seperate into several groups and surround the flames, we then enter and attack from multiple directions*'' said Momon ''we'll need one group however to lead a frontal assault in order to join a majority of the Demon forces attention''

Lakyus grinned ''just leave that to us, we owe them anyways for what they did to our comrades''

''Are you sure?'' Momon asked.

''I'm sure of it, but…'' Lakyus turned to her last two team mates ''listen, I'm willing to do this, but are you two?''

''I am'' said Tina angrily, she wanted to get Jaldabaoth and his demons back for what happened to her sister.

''Lakyus, I would go with you'' said Evileye hesitantly ''but… with your permission, I want to assist Mr. Momon… I-''

''Don't, it's fine alright'' said Lakyus smiling gently ''I understand, I'm ok with it as long as Momon is alright with it''

''I'm fine with it as long as you are'' said Momon.

''Good, now we just need someone to reinforce us, because I doubt we'd be able to do it with just two of us'' said Lakyus.

''We'd be more than happy to reinforce you ma'am'' said the leader of an Orichalcum Adventurer team.

''So will I'' said a young blond man dressed in silver armour.

''Climb?'' Lakyus asked.

''My sword is your Lady Lakyus'' stated Climb.

Lakyus hesitated for a moment before turning to Renner who nodded her head, Lakyus smiled back and said ''ok, looks like we're all set''

''Very well, I will give the rest of you your positions, knights I am sending you with Momon of Darkness in order to reinforce him'' stated Princess Renner.

''Err, are your sure princess?'' One of the knights asked ''I mean he's an Adamantite Adventurer''

''Which is why I am sending you all with him, if what Evileye told us is true and he does have the power to fight off Jaldabaoth, I do not doubt Evileye's words, he'll need all his power so you all will clear him a path to Jaldabaoth'' stated Renner.

''B-but-'' the knight started.

Another knight shoved him aside ''we understand Princess'' he said.

''Good, now all of you get ready we'll begin the mission in an hour or so'' said Renner.

-LINE BREAK-

An hour quickly passed by and all of the Adventurers were moving out and getting ready, the Copper and Iron Adventurers were sent out first in order to scout the area, when a fireball spell was shot to the sky the higher ranked adventurers began to move it, Lakyus began to walk towards the Flames of Gehenna, Climb and Tina besides her, the Orichalcum Adventurer team were walking a few steps behind them.

A knight who was riding horseback suddenly came into view, but something was off about this knight, Lakyus took note of the rider and his appearance, he didn't look much like a knight, he had the armour yes, but he didn't have the build, knights were usually tall and well built, this one was short and looking at him you could tell he was fat, now you did get a short knight every now and again, but they usually had a height requirement, but this one fell bellow that height requirement and he was fat? His knight training should have given him muscles by now, wait… was he who she thought he was?**

Lakyus began to run off towards the fart knight, Climb quickly followed, Tina lagged behind a little as she ordered the Orichalcum adventurers to go ahead and that they would catch up as she too chased after Lakyus, soon enough Lakyus caught up with the fat knight.

''Prince Zanac?'' Lakyus asked.

The knight pulled on the reigns bringing his horse to a halt and turned to Lakyus, revealing that it was in fact Prince Zanac, Princess Renner's older half brother, he looked at Lakyus for a moment before saying ''Adamantite Adventurer Lakyus? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in the field right now?''

''I was just going, what are you doing here?'' Lakyus asked.

''I'm here to reassure the people everything is alright and protect them if needed'' said Zanac.

''Where is Prince Barbaro? Shouldn't he be here for that?***'' Lakyus asked.

''I don't know, but with my brother gone I'll have to pick up the slack for my father'' said Zanac ''don't worry, I know I'm not as well versed a fight as you or even as a Copper class Adventurer, I'm just here to make sure the people don't lose hope that they stay brave''

Lakyus hesitated for a moment before nodding, she then turned and walked away with the other, as she walked away she heard the Prince making a declaration to the people.

''People of the proud kingdom of Re-Estize! Do not fear for those Devils do not deserve it! My sword and shield will be with you! I will defend you here as the Adventurers fight these fiends and any who dare try to attack you will meet our steel, no one shall die under my watch isn't that right men!?''

''No sir!'' Zanac's men cried.

As Lakyus walked away she could hear the people cheering out 'Long Live Prince Zanac!' It irritated her that her best friend had

and yet her fat older brother was most likely to get all the credit, but she couldn't think of that right now, she walked into the Flames and saw a large group of adventurers gathered of all different kinds of ranks.

''Where did all the citizens go? Are they hiding inside their houses?'' asked an Adventurer, Lakyus assumed he was a Copper plate at best, she heard someone explain to them that the doors were broken down so it couldn't be.

Lakyus took a deep breath and snapped into leader mode ''iron and copper adventurers, stay here and search through the houses, the rest of you stay here and form a line'' she ordered ''Climb if your going to fight in this battle stay close to me''

''Yes, Lady Lakyus'' said Climb.

Suddenly a growling sound was heard and everyone got into position, Lakyus drew out her demonic sword and stood at the ready ''here they come!''

-LINE BREAK-

Meanwhile on the other side of the area that the Flames of Gehenna had created the castle knights were battle through the words of Demons there had been a slight alteration in the plan, Momon had revealed he had a flight charm and was using that to fly over the battlefield, so the knights were now trying to divert attention from Jaldabaoth so Momon could get there and fight him.

But there odds did not look good, not only with the amount of demons but the kinds of demons they were facing ''an Overeating, Gazer Devils and 15 hellhounds'' one of them said observing the situation in front of them, the hellhounds started to breath fire as an intimidation technique, but the knights held there ground, except for one, remember the knight who argued the assault before the attack.

Well he turned and ran away from the battle ''wait don't run!'' one of the other knights called to him.

'Stand your ground fool!'' another cried.

But it was too late for him, as the Overeating demon leapt over the knights and landed right in front of him, the cowardly knight tried to flee, but before he could make a move the Overeating slurped him up with its long tong.

''No! No! No! Someone help me please! NOOOOOO!'' Screamed the knight as he was eaten by the Overeating, his screaming face soon appeared on the monster, causing the other knights to make an audible gulping sound in fear.

But they still held there ground, half of them facing the demons coming from the front the other half facing the Overeating coming from the back, but luckily for them Momon had seen the situation and had decided to act ''throw me!'' he ordered.

''Are you sure?'' Nabe asked.

''A-are you sure? Seriously!'' Evileye cried at Nabe, before turning to Momon ''Mr. Momon, I don't doubt that you can handle those demons, but your suppose to save your power to fight Jaldabaoth''

''We're also here to assist the people and I believe the knights do include as part of the people'' stated Momon ''now, I'll repeat what I just said: throw me!''

''Right'' said Nabe.

''Of course, your so noble'' Evileye gushed.

The two then launched Momon towards the ground, drawing his swords he flew towards the Gazer Demons and Hellhounds, slicing them in half, before turning to the Overeating and throwing one of his swords into its head killing it instantly, the Demon became black and lots of white smoke started to drift out of it, the souls of everyone it had consumed.

Momon then turned and moved forwards Nabe and Evileye landing at his sides, one of the knights rushed up to him ''M-M-Master Momon, w-why are you here sir, shouldn't you just be in the air flying towards Jaldabaoth!? W-we're just here to provide cover for you sir'' he said.

''I'm also here to protect the people, including you'' stated Momon ''besides I can spare a little to take these small fry on, Jaldabaoth is a Demon Lord and all Demon Lords have one thing in common, they all have a sense of style in how they do there evil, Jaldabaoth will want to be stationed in the centre of this area, which we're close to already''

''I-I see'' said the knight ''come on men, lets keep pushing!''

The knights all cheered and raised there swords and charged forwards, many of the knights died but with Momon, Nabe and Evileye, they quickly cut through, slicing through demon after demon until they finally made it, there in the square of the town Jaldabaoth stood his hands behind his back, Momon turned to the leader of the knights and ordered him to find and slay more demons.

He then walked towards the demon Nabe and Evileye at his sides, Jaldabaoth began to clap ''very impressive you are strong now aren't you Mr. Momon'' said Jaldabaoth.

Then from the ruins behind Jaldabaoth several maids, including the insect maid walked out, they all had different uniforms and different hair styles but they all wore Jaldabaoths mask, all except for the insect maid, there was one with there hair tied into a bun, a red head with a cap, one with long pink hair and one with long blond hair that was styled in a drill style****

''An elite unit?'' Nabe asked.

''It must be, it seems as though we've underestimated Jaldabaoth's forces'' Evileye said quietly.

''I'm sorry, but I'll need you two to deal with those five'' said Momon ''now then, let's go Jaldabaoth''

Moon then charged forwards and slammed both his swords down on Jaldabaoth, Jaldabaoth himself barely had any time to block and was pushed away with Momon, the two began to fight getting further and further away from the square until they had left the area, leaving Nabe and Evileye to fight Jaldabaoth's elite forces.

''I will take three you will take two'' said Nabe.

''I don't mind taking three'' Evileye protested, causing Nabe to look at her irritated.

Nabe just ignored her and repeated herself ''I will take three you will take two'' she then began to walk off.

''Wow, your stubborn'' Evileye muttered to herself.

''I'll let you decide who fights who'' stated Nabe, three of them split from the group and walked to join her ''we'll fight somewhere else so we don't interfere with each others fights''

The three just nodded and they kept walking until they were happy with the distance they had walked, they then turned to adress one another ''I'm Beta, these are Epsilon and Zeta and you are?'' the red haired one asked.

''Nabe'' said Nabe curtly.

''Hmm'' Epsilon mused.

''Something wrong?'' Nabe asked in the same curt tone.

''You seem… familiar somehow'' said Epsilon.

''Yes, have we ever met before?'' Zeta asked.

Nabe hesitated for a moment before saying ''no… we've never met before, now shall we begin?'' Nabe drew her sword at the ready.''Very well, come on'' said Beta, as she and the others got into stance.

*Ok I'll admit as I am a guy who's only capability of Overlord is to watch the anime, sadly I do not have access to the light novels and I tried looking it up on the wiki but I was unsuccessful, so I have no idea what the original plan was, so I hope I came up with something good.

**Ok yeah don't know how close this is to describing him in the armour, especially since in the armour he kind of looks fit to me, but I just decided to describe him like this because I thought that's how he'd really look.

***seriously where was he?

****yeah sorry, I was close to the end and wanted to finish this up so I just described there hair details and hair colour
