OVERLORD: The Second Supreme Being

Nana found a cave in the wilderness. Upon entering, she discovered a black bear.

Carrying Thousand Leagues Astrologer on her shoulder, Nana single-handedly took out a dagger and killed the black bear.

Thousand Leagues widened her eyes. She knew this black bear was called a "Monster Strength Bear." It was incredibly strong, with a level around 35. Even if she encountered it alone, she would have no choice but to flee.

Yet, such a formidable creature was killed instantly with a single strike.

"Not only is her speed terrifying! Her strength is also frightening," Thousand Leagues thought, no longer daring to have even a single thought of resistance.

Once Nana confirmed there were no other creatures in the cave, she placed Thousand Leagues on the ground. She herself went outside, casually found a mountain peak, chopped it down, and then used a knife to shape it into a spherical form. She blocked the cave's exit with the large rock.

Thousand Leagues initially tried to escape while Nana was handling the rock, but before she could run very far, Nana appeared in front of her and slapped her twice on the backside (Nana had seen Peroroncino punish other women like this).

"Ah!" The pain caused Thousand Leagues to tear up.

Then, Nana grabbed her and dragged her back into the cave, blocking the entrance with the large rock once more.

"Hey! Wait! What if I starve to death in here?!" Thousand Leagues shouted loudly.

"Ah, thanks for reminding me, otherwise, I would have forgotten that you still need food."

Upon hearing this, Thousand Leagues felt a bit broken inside. If she hadn't said anything, she might really have starved to death in there.

Then Nana casually picked some fruits and mushrooms from the wild.

Seeing these items, Thousand Leagues's mindset broke down.

"These are all poisonous! If I eat them, I'll probably die from poisoning before I even starve."

Although Thousand Leagues hadn't seen some of the items, she assumed they were poisonous simply because she hadn't seen them before.

Upon hearing her words, Nana fell into thought. This was her first time being here, and she wasn't familiar with the plants and animals in this area. She didn't know what was edible and what wasn't.

After thinking for a moment, Nana decided to leave the task of finding food to Thousand Leagues.

Under Thousand Leagues's guidance, Nana found a variety of edible mushrooms and fruits, and also hunted some animals that were safe to eat.

During this process, Thousand Leagues actually quite enjoyed having a powerful companion who would follow her orders.

But it wasn't long before Nana threw her back into the cave and blocked the entrance with a large stone.

Thousand Leagues could only helplessly watch the dark cave, with a few faint lights showing through the cracks.

She was about to sit on the ground, but the pain made her stand up immediately.

Her backside had already swollen from the slaps, and even touching it hurt.

.....

Nana returned to the Holy City. The scene in the city was just like before—merchants shouting about their goods, people walking back and forth on the streets.

It seemed that no one had noticed Thousand Leagues's disappearance.

Thousand Leagues wasn't very strong in combat, but she was extremely important to the Slane Theocracy.

She was almost always protected by someone.

The next morning, the guards discovered that Thousand Leagues was missing. They called in professional detectives to investigate.

The detectives' findings were that Thousand Leagues had left willingly.

Everything in the room was perfectly normal, with no signs of a struggle. Furthermore, the guards hadn't noticed anything unusual the previous night.

Apart from the fact that Thousand Leagues had left on her own, there didn't seem to be any other explanation.

However, there was a possibility that a very powerful person had kidnapped Thousand Leagues.

But in the minds of the guards and detectives, no one was strong enough to do such a thing.

Although Thousand Leagues's combat strength hadn't reached the hero level, she was very close to it.

For anyone to take her without the guards noticing was practically impossible, unless Thousand Leagues had willingly been kidnapped.

But only someone foolish would cooperate with a kidnapper. It was clear that Thousand Leagues would never act in such a way. This truth was thoroughly dismissed by the detectives and guards.

As for the soldiers guarding the city last night, they were completely unwilling to speak about what had happened.

Because facing the unknown, showing fear in battle was punishable.

Then the captain of the guards and the magic caster agreed to say that this incident had never happened.

Thousand Leagues's guards also came to inquire with the city gate sentinels, but the soldiers had never seen Thousand Leagues, and of course, they hadn't heard her voice.

Based solely on the appearance described by the guards, they couldn't confirm that the cry for help from the previous night was from Thousand Leagues.

Thus, everyone assumed that Thousand Leagues had left on her own.

Leaving on her own and being captured were two completely different matters.

The latter was much more serious.

The guards, fearing punishment, didn't speak out and began their own search.

.....

At this time, Peroroncino arrived in the Slane Theocracy with Yulia and Misty.

Shalltear and Mare were also always nearby, secretly protecting Peroroncino.

However, they didn't reveal themselves.

After all, with their height, staying close to Peroroncino could easily lead to them being mistaken for kidnappers.

Both of them were equipped with special items to conceal their presence, staying 500 meters away from Peroroncino.

There was a special reason for them to protect him from the shadows.

If Mare were to witness Peroroncino's "daily life," it might lead to some special misunderstandings in his pure heart.

But letting Mare protect him alone from the shadows seemed too deliberate, so Shalltear was also assigned to guard from the shadows alongside Mare.

Nana also noticed Peroroncino in the city.

"Nii-san~" Nana rushed into Peroroncino's arms.

Peroroncino squatted down and embraced Nana.

At the same time, Peroroncino patted Nana's head.

"How do you feel about Slane Theocracy?"

"It's nothing like the Sorcerer Kingdom, there are so many rules," Nana said without hesitation.

"Nii-san~ This is the information I've gathered here."

Nana lowered her voice and handed a piece of paper to Peroroncino.

It contained the full list of the Six-color Scripture and the Black Scripture from the Slane Theocracy.

Previously, Peroroncino had received information from the Sunlight Scripture, Nigun, but it lacked a detailed list of the Black Scripture.

Nana's list was very complete.

"This... Downfall of Castle and Country..."

Although the list stated that Downfall of Castle and Country was already dead.

But Peroroncino could resurrect, and the title "Downfall of Castle and Country" was very intriguing. Everyone would want to meet such a person.

Since the person was already dead, Nana only knew the name and hadn't done a detailed investigation.

At this moment, during his daily patrol, the High Priest of the Church of Light noticed Nana and the foreign people who were very close to her.

The High Priest was certain he had never seen Peroroncino, Yulia, or Misty before.

Misty and Yulia's appearances were too stunning—once you've seen them, you wouldn't forget.

So, the conclusion was that these people were foreigners.

"Nana, who are these people?" The High Priest approached and asked.

"If they try to trick Nana into leaving, I definitely won't let them leave here alive," the High Priest thought inwardly as he spoke.

Nana didn't answer the High Priest's question.

"Nii-san, this is the High Priest of Light," Nana directly introduced the High Priest to Peroroncino.

As for the High Priest's full name, it was too long, and Nana hadn't remembered it.

A trace of displeasure flashed in the High Priest's eyes.

The reason was that Nana didn't answer his question and instead introduced the other party's identity first.

"Hello, I'm someone who has helped Nana before," Peroroncino said.

"Nana hasn't been here for long, and it's normal for her to care more about the people she knew before. I shouldn't be angry about this," the High Priest explained to himself inwardly.

The High Priest of Light directed his gaze toward Peroroncino and was about to speak.

(To create an illusion in the opponent's mind)

(To make the opponent believe the person in front of them is their most beloved one)

Peroroncino quickly cast both skills.

"You…"

"Hello! Hello!" The High Priest suddenly became extremely enthusiastic.

The several guards behind the High Priest were shocked, as the High Priest had never treated anyone with such enthusiasm before.

"How about we find a quiet place to talk?" Peroroncino suggested.

"Okay!" The High Priest then led Peroroncino and the others back to his own home.

He even ordered his guards to leave.

The guards had no choice but to follow the order.

Peroroncino asked about the matter of "Downfall of Castle and Country" (the name on the list).

Upon learning that "Downfall of Castle and Country" was an elderly woman, Peroroncino's illusion was instantly shattered.

He looked at Peroroncino's expression, which showed deep regret.

The High Priest of Light began to explain the abilities of "Downfall of Castle and Country" on his own.

"Mind control!"

This sentence made Peroroncino a bit curious.

He had never seen any native use mind control before.

Then, the High Priest of Light went on to boast about how powerful "Downfall of Castle and Country" had controlled such strong beings.

"Then how did she die?" Peroroncino directly interrupted the High Priest's praise of "Downfall of Castle and Country."

"That was during an operation led by the Black Scripture Captain of the Black Scripture's first seat. They were sent to recruit the awakened Catastrophe Dragon Lord into their ranks.

While passing through the kingdom, an accident occurred. An unknown vampire attacked us.

Black Scripture Captain immediately recognized that the opponent was extraordinary and ordered 'Downfall of Castle and Country' to control the vampire while he went up to intercept it.

"A vampire?" Peroroncino thought of Shalltear.

However, Black Scripture Captain was knocked back several meters by a single strike.

But 'Downfall of Castle and Country' had already released her mind control. Just as the vampire was controlled, it threw a holy attribute short spear.

With the powerful defensive capabilities of the Black Saint Scripture's eighth seat, the giant shield-wielding Cedran, blocking in front of 'Downfall of Castle and Country,' the short spear pierced through the shield and his body.

And behind him, 'Downfall of Castle and Country' was also pierced.

At that moment, the monster stopped moving. The mind control of "Downfall of Castle and Country" had taken effect.

But "Downfall of Castle and Country" was already dead, and the monster, the vampire, stood still without moving.

Peroroncino's gaze gradually turned ferocious.

Then, the ninth seat of the Black Scripture, the Divine Chain, tried to capture the monster vampire who had been controlled.

But the attempt was instantly met with death.

No one reacted in time.

The others had no choice but to take away the bodies of the three and leave."

Once the High Priest of Light finished speaking, Peroroncino immediately smashed the table with a punch.

The splintered wood shards hit the High Priest of Light, and at the same time, the High Priest was released from the mind control.

"Shalltear!" Peroroncino called out.

Then Shalltear instantly appeared in front of Peroroncino.

"Control him, I still have questions to ask!"

"Look into my eyes!"

The High Priest of Light, who was under the mental control, was in a daze, then he was controlled again by Shalltear.

"Is the vampire you mentioned the one defeated by the adventurer Momon?"

The High Priest of Light nodded and said, "Yes!"

"Swish~" Peroroncino's fist pierced through the High Priest of Light's chest. Blood splattered everywhere.

"Turn him into your vampire servant!" Shalltear sliced across the High Priest of Light's neck.

The High Priest of Light immediately transformed into a vampire servant.

"We should avenge you!" Peroroncino looked at Shalltear and said.

Shalltear, not having heard what the High Priest of Light had just said, was left completely confused.
