New Chapter for The Witch and the Sorcerer!

If we are referring to beings who have been known for their deadly notoriousness. The Demi-Human Kings and Queens of the Abelion Hills cannot go unmentioned.

Beings so powerful that they managed to flourish among countries of humans who were their natural enemy at the time, and even in such low numbers, they will managed to terrorize their neighbors, invading and raiding them multiple times.

It is said that at the time, the simple mention of the arrival of one of their leaders would have towns and small cities abandon the area in all haste.

Such was the power of the Kings and Queens of Terror

-Passage from "Monsters of the Ages" by Faustus Furt Dale Aindra

You know, I think your work is very well done, but the only issue I find is: what happened to the Death Knights in the chapter where Ainz took control of Eight Fingers?

Epic Battle man.

Probably being kept in cold storage for later use. Satoru wouldn’t want to get too much attention by having undead that not even the legendary heroes could easily control. He could be using elder liches to help Hilma with her work like Albedo did. It wouldn’t surprise me if he was secretly making an undead army in the background since he knows he can make permanent ones. Personally, I would really love to see Zero give this man his own ‘Arise’ moment in the story.

ZeroSenpai: *writes an epic fight scene* My focus for some reason: Renner gets pats throughout the entire thing, good good. Awesome chapter :)

1. Missed opportunity have the rat people talk like Skaven but then again youre not a warhammer guy so thats unfortunate. 2. What's up with all the snake fucking? This is like the third time its been brought up. You got something you want to tell us Zero? Lol 3. Kinda funny how the first part of the chapter was just non stop Satoru glazing lol

ZeroSenpai Writer

Maybe it is on me, i will be more careful in teh eventual rewrite. But Satoru kind of implicitly said that he dispelled them. He feared that someone could find them out or even have a spell to know who summonded them and expose him. Take in account this Satoru had been in the New World for like 10 days at the time. So yeah, the only undead he has active till now are the Wraiths ensuring 7 Hands don't do anything stupid, and the one guarding Hilma while he is not around. But don't worry... his role as a necromancer will come into the story... after all it is a major trump card he managed to hide for years... and now he knows who is openly targetting him.

ZeroSenpai Writer

1. Unfortunate, seeing how the pattern i looked up seemed quite funny and fun to write. 2. There is never enough snakefucking. 3. The boy can't have fun with his gathered underage harem, at least let them glaze him properly.

Really enjoyed the fight scenes. They were easy to follow so I was never questioning what was going on and who was doing what. You know when to describe critical actions and when to describe the general flow of battle. I don't have any suggestions to improve them, just to iterate on your current style. I can imagine Satoru not really caring if Riyuro died but I can see him stepping in if Renner made it clear she doesn't want to see Lakyus crying. That or Lakyus goes plus ultra and finds enough faith (in something) to pull off a resurrection spell. Enjoy Japan!

ZeroSenpai Writer

Thank you! I have come a long way from my early days of battle writing, and i think i have started finding my balance between exposing the character's thoughts without it becoming an endless monologue taking you out of the scene, and having the fighters actually duke it out. But i am still open to suggestions since i don't think something like perfection exists and you never know when you will get that comment that sends you going "oh yeah, this is a great advice!"

Darkdoom III

To your 3rd point. They won’t stay underage for long and while he can’t get satisfied himself, he surely can satisfy his harem. And to point out the hypocrisy even clearer, you yourself admitted that you have atleast one uncensored version of the drawing of Lakyus. Are you telling us that you are allowed to have that while bonedaddy isn’t? This sounds like heresy. Unless you atone for your sin and let Ainz satisfy them in their dreams

ZeroSenpai Writer

I plead innocent by reason of unwitting possession. The contraband was planted in my private chat without my knowledge, consent, solicitation, or even a mildly suspicious eyebrow raise. Apollo did everything by himself

Andrzej R

it would be a shame not to see, at some point offhand mentions, at least to "Funeral regulations" let call it. Dead do not like like to stay where they are they not. I think it would be very cool to see at so point well hiden catacumbs full to brim with undead. On that line of thought question to Zero how does fare Khajiit, if memory do not fail me we have not see him.

Mfer typing this like he didn't write the sky rider arc first 😭😭😭

ZeroSenpai Writer

Eh, his entrance is not too far in the future in fact. But he is having a way harder time making his moves with Seven Hands around

Since you asked for it i'll try to give some feedback on the fighting scenes. But first some Analysis of the overall strength of the characters involved. As you said there's a statement that all the demihuman leaders combines could give the pleiades a good fight (minus omega) and while i completely agree that it means there have to be some demihumans in the 40+ lvl range it's important to keep in mind that like most NPCs outside of the 8th floor the pleiades were mostly made for flavour not to be optimized for combat. Concretely what i mean is that they have noncombat classes as part of their build (like Yuri having a level of cook, and all of them presumably having some levels in maid) you could theorize that those levels are needed for aureoles buffs to work or something, but at the end of the day it leaves them individually weaker than most combatants of their level would be. Similarly most of their levels are in job classes rather than racial levels, and especially in 'lower' levels the stat difference this causes could be pretty impactful. Still all that being said i personally don't see a world where the demihumans have any chance because Naberal exists, so for the statement to be true the demihumans might even need some people in their 50s... So overall yeah it's pretty messy and probably one of the few times he's said something that actively contradicts (or at least seems highly improbably with) established worldbuilding. Ignoring that part though, because be they level 40 or lvl 60 i'm willing to bet Aainz could apply the necessary buffs to even the playingfield, he does know over 700 spells nvm his items. Now assuming even/similar stats i've got to give it to you, consideinring their undoubtebly underleveled equipment leading to a massive deficite of defense compared to the offence granted by their natural weapons battles being decided by a few key critical strikes is most likely how it would play out so very well done it that regard. The writing itself is also as always pretty great ^^. If there is one thing i'd have to voice my concearn over however it's the treatment of magic items, sure the items they have probably aren't on their level, but i find it unlikely that a single strike with a martial art would be enough to render a magical should into scrap, especially since it wasn't a sundering strike. Something explicitely introduced in the LN with the demihumans meaning there's equipment in the abelion hills that people on Busers level have a need to use sundering attacks against.

ZeroSenpai Writer

Thank you for the feedback. Yeah it is a prety messy statement as, if the top tier demihumans were anything above 40ish i don't see how the Holy Kingdom is still standing even without Demiurge. if they were 50 or 60 they would have washed over the nearby humans no problem, and since we know they had been repelled multiple times, i can't in good faith make them above 40. We also know that the Abelion demihumans have a huge metal shortage. So only very special ones can get their hands on armor, let alone magic items, so i don't think they would be top tier. My main explanation for the shield is that Riyuro was not only buffed, he empowered himself with a Martial Art, and is a powerful monk (hand to hand rocks), on top of that, in that moment Rokesh was out of position and so his stance was more a desperate attempt to not let Riyuro get a clean hit on him, rather than a prepared defense. But yeah, it is up to interpretation and i see how it could come across as strange.

Nodon667

Understandable, and i'm not outright saying it's wrong or anything, it's just that Magic items are one of those nieche relatively underexplored concepts in the grand scheme of things when you really think about it. Personally i've arrived at a kind of odd conclusion, but it's one that works best imo according to what we have been shown, i'll try to explain myself but it'll probably end up being a bit of rambling, bear with me if you'd be so kind '^^ Now why i'm saying it's weird mostly comes down to two factors, the first one being that we know Items have a durability stats like their own HP bar and seemingly unless there is a vast difference in strength between combatants attacking someone doesn't seem to decrease this durability unless you specifically try to attack the item in question. Maybe it works by only excess damage after killing someone transferring as damage to the durability or something, but that's pure speculation. I say seemingly because while it's never outright confirmed Ainz does explain that attacking someone's gear instead of them can be a valid strategy (one Herohero loved to use) and despite the numerous fights we've seen there's only very very rarely a mention of items being permanently damaged in the process. Which leads us to the 2nd reason Magic items aren't limited to their physical forms, in a way. For example them resizing themselves and in doing so massively gaining or loosing mass without issue just by being magic items. This leads to the conclusion that Magic items are 'locked' into their forms and limited only by the durability stat, not the actual durability of the Items itself. Some examples, firstly while this might be considered a quirk of the break items spell series, whenever we've seen someone actively destroy a magic items it disintegrates instead of leaving behind scrap, this would explain how people can loot each other/battlefields for magic items despite explosions and the like undoubtebly destroying/damaging all the non magic equipment. Next looking at some of the times we have seen magic items be damaged, mostly armor. When shaltear fought the black scripture she destroyed some of their armors like ripping out someone's heart and breaking their shield, yet despite the black scriptures gear being probably more valuable to the theocracy than the humans wielding it there's never any sort of mention of it being lost, and we even see those same pieces of gear later on as if nothing happened, of course you could say they simply repaired it but the other cases lead me to believe it's something else. Because when Gazef get's stabbed, when Ainz fights the martial lord, when entoma shoots the members of blue rose etc there's always attacks that go through the armor but despite that the armor itself remains whole, in fact in that very scene with shaltear it's explicidly mentioned that she gets stabbed from behind and the dword comes out her chest but can't actually deal any damage because it doesn't qualify to hurt her, however this means the sword outright passed through her clothes, but when we see her again there is no hole to speak off and she definitely didn't have anyone come up to fix that in her state. This leads me to conclude that so long as they have remaining durability magic items will 'fix' themselves of any superficial damage done to them by themselves, since they aren't limited to the actual material they are made with.

ZeroSenpai Writer

This is an interesting subject. But i think you are getting closer to a solution that would validate all these info. There is a difference between a Destroyed magic item and a Damanged magic item. What Riyuro did was damage the item (and since it is a shield, if deformed it becomes useless in battle, but that is because this is real life and not a game). What Satoru does while using [Break Magic Item] (or whatever is called) he basically destroys the item from existence, hence why it disappears instead of just getting damaged to the point it is unusable. The BS had their gear Damaged by Shalltear, and so they had it repaired. Why this is not a widely known thing around the NW? Probably because the only ones who can repair such items have very special classes and need certain special materials to do it. As for bullets and the likes we have seen. I would not give it too much thought if you are referring to the anime, animations errors are all over the place unfortunately. Overlord suffers a lot from poor animation. As for Shalltear in particular, here is the only one i think it's speculative. We don't know the property of the armor, but we know the Pipitte Lance is self-healing, maybe some divine-tier gear has an autorepair fucntion for damage to a certain extent.

Nodon667

Like i said, not saying you're wrong, or even claiming that i have to be right. It's just what makes the most sense to me. Even assuming that i were right, it's valid to assume low tier magic items might need longer to repair themselves or something, so the scene wouldn't change. As for break item, while yes it's probable the spell does some weird matter annihilation, there's also no real counter example to say it does anything more than just massive durability damage, because that is a confirmed game mechanic and 'break item' could just be the spellcaster equivalent to a sundering attack. In regards to the bullets and so on, while yes in the novel we don't get direct statements, the people wearing the armors do get hurt so it's reasonable to assume it was pierced, and while there are examples of people complaining that their mundane items need to be maintained (carne village for example) there isn't so much as a single example of someone saying theyll have to get their gear fixed when it comes to magic items. Lastly, sure Slane might have someone capable of fixing the gear of the normal black scripture members, but i actually doubt they would have the necessary resources since even the dwarves didn't know anything better than adamantium, or even if they do thanks to the 6 gods old guild base, having to use them would be a massive loss that should be noted in their discussions, especially since overlord tends to be good about the larger consequences of such actions. Instead i think it's more likely that after the item repairs itself and looses some durability in the process a skilled blacksmith might have a skill to restore the lost durability or a mage could have a spell to restore it as on opposite to the break item spell series like a [restore magic item] or something along those lines. anyways thanks a lot for indulging me in this niche discussion ^^

ZeroSenpai Writer

I am not trying to be right either, i just wanted to express my own thought process on the subject. And these types of discussions are what also help me better myself, as you brought up a lot of points i didn't consdier before. I can only think of a major case aout an item needing to be repaired, and that was Momon's armor after the Demiurge invasion which was said to have taken a lot of the best Re-Estize casters to fix. But then again, we don't know if the item was enchanted. But yeah, i think Maru just didn't think deeply on this matter and it is quite helpful hearing different opinions on the matter. A lot of this is up to speculation and subjective interpretation. Thanks for the great exchange.
