A hush had settled over the throne room of Nazarick, broken only by the low murmur of strategy. Upon his seat of ancient bone, Ainz listened as Demiurge laid out plans for conquest, Albedo watching with fierce devotion. Then the world outside flashed a violent, blinding red. A bolt of crimson lightning shattered the calm, striking the earth with a force that trembled through the tomb's foundations. The guardians vanished to investigate and returned moments later, frozen where they stood. In the center of the scorched and smoking ground was a figure they had never expected to see again. Aura’s gasp tore through the silence. ‘It’s you!’ Mare didn’t wait—he turned and sprinted, a blur of motion, to bring the news to his lord.
