Arche followed Ainz and Zero while Sebas walked along by her side, while Solution, and CZ walked behind her.

  The way they’re “esc” her by having her be at the ter with Sebas by her side made it seem like they’re surrounding her, preventing her from doing anything that might cause harm to the two Supreme Beings, as Sebas and the “maids” had mentioned in passing. No, perhaps that was exactly the reason.

  She felt a bit nervous and anxious. They still did not trust her, despite having vowed solemnly to offer everything that she was in service of the God of magid the savior of her sisters and life.

  But, those uled feelings soon turned into determination to prove herself. She would show it through her as.

  With those vis in mind, her tenseness diminished, and her eyes began to wander, marveling at the sight of all around her.

  She was surrounded by luxuries that would make even the royal pace of the Empire seem like a regur, peasant home.

  Then, to her marvel and shock, they arrived in a room, which teleported them to another part of the seemingly endless halls. No, perhaps, it wasn’t even the same halls she had been walking through this eime.

  After a few more teleportations, they finally stopped in front of a double door.

  Sebas, having walked ahead of his masters, pushed the massive and heavy double doors open with seeming ease, belying the heavy groan that the doors made, and gave way for Ainz, Lelouch, and herself to enter.

  It was a massive room with smooth floors and a high ceiling. Its walls were dark, yet shimmered as magic lights from deliers hanging up above illumi. Several tables with papers and writing utensils littering it, as well as book-filled shelves, were pced all around the perimeter of the room.

  Then at the very ter was a massive magic circle, which immediately caught Arche’s eyes.

  “What in the world…?! I didn’t know magic circles could be so plex!”

  Arche was one of the most distinguished students within the Imperial Academy, and one who had received tutege from the knowest human magic caster. She was even praised to be talented by such a figure.

  She was well versed in the are, including are magic circles which is the basis of all are magibsp;

  But this… This was unlike anything she had seen before.

  Even the most plex are circles her former teacher had created would seem like simple arithmetics before such a thing.

  And standing in front of it was a tall figure with a silver tail, covered with metal ptes and six long spikes at the end. Even at a gnce, Arche could tell that the figure wasn’t human. However, adorned in an impeccable suit with his sleek hair tidily bed back, he was the epitome of a gentleman. Though… a different kind than Sebas.

  Simply by looking at his back, she felt immense uhat she was being looked at and observed closely, despite him not even turning to her yet and seemingly busy as his hands seemed to manipute something in the air.

  As soon as they ehe figure turned, revealing the handsome, bespectacled gentleman who wore a smile upon seeing his masters.

  “Wele, Ainz-sama, Zero-sama. I have been awaiting your arrival.”

  “Mm. Good work, Demiurge.”

  “Is everything ready?”

  “Yes, Zero-sama. I have prepared everything as you have instructed.”

  The fallen angel walked forward to approach the magic circle and stood beside Demiurge. His hands simirly began to manipute something Arche couldn’t see in the air.

  Soon, they were engaged in a versation.

  Arche stood in silence, waiting. Sebas and the maids have moved to the side of the door, standing by for wheheir masters needed assistanbsp;

  Meanwhile, Ainz stood slightly in front of her, watg in silenbsp;

  ‘This will ge everything, if it works… Though, the amount of gold that’d be needed…’

  Ainz grimaced inwardly at the sheer thought of the amount of wealth it’d require to break someone’s limits.

  Through plenty of research, hard work, and moments of brilliance, Yuuji, Lelouch, and Demiurge had mao create a device that could break the limits of one’s potential; their level cap.

  However, they theorized that it’d require a tremendous amount of not just any regur gold, but Yggdrasil Gold, to operate.

  The Yggdrasil Gold was required to resurrePCs without the use of spells, “recruit” extremely powerful merary NPCs, and operate many, if not all, of Nazarick’s deferaps, and upkeep.

  Although it was impossible to raise the level cap of 100 in the game, the new world with its new ws and freedom unstrained by programming codes could possibly break the very limits of their iential.

  The device before them, the magic circle which was the culmination of their brilliahat stemmed from that siheory, now id before them, ready for the testing.

  If it’s a success, then they could possibly use this breakthrough device to recruit people with potential from the new world, make them loyal to Nazarick, and make them bring bes for Nazarick.

  “A-Ainz-sama…”

  “Hm?”

  Just then, Ainz was snapped out of his daze and turo look at Arche.

  “I uand that… You did this for me… because you have some use of me. Did you not?”

  Ainz tilted his head slightly, fused by her sudden words, but nodded heless.

  “Then… If you’d allow me. My rades. My closest friends… Would you allow them to e under your wing as well?”

  The members of Fht. For Arche, they were not mere members of the same party.

  They were her trusted rades, one who she knew would give their own lives for hers as she would for them. In fact, they had numerous times before. Not only during bat, but even before that.

  Knowing her circumstahey would iionally take more rewarding jobs, even if they were more risky and dangerous. Then, they would give her a part of their share as well.

  They were her friends. They cared for her more than her own parents ever had. And now that she came upon this fortune, she wao help them just as they’ve helped her!

  Rather than going for dangerous jobs, risking their lives for petty amounts of gold, wouldn’t it be better if they were to join her in serving these Gods? These literal Gods who walked the very earth they were ht now?

  “They are people of character, that I assure you. We all would y our lives for each other without a sed thought, and they’ve done so more times than I could t for me… They are also all very capable. I’m sure they would be of great use for you!”

  Ainz observed her closely as his geass instinctively activated, firming the truth in ead every single word she had uttered

  And for a moment, figures of his own old guildmates and his current closest friends of the group chat fshed across his mind.

  His gaze went towards Lelouch, before returning towards Arche.

  But just then, Lelouch’s voice resounded, just before he could offer any response.

  “Ainz, it’s ready.”

  He responded with a nod and gazed down at the little blonde girl.

  “It is time. Are you ready to be reborn?”

  Arche felt her heart palpitate once more, partly out of excitement, partly out of nervousness, but mostly ay.

  But, the fsh of her sisters’ figure snapped her out of her daze, and she nodded with determination.

  “Then go.”

  Arche approached the handsome, bck-winged man and the devil, and towards the magic circle with slow, anxious, yet determieps.

  She g the fallen ahe one named Zero. And to her surprise, there was a small smile on his handsome visage.

  “Stand in the ter of the magic circle.”

  “Yes!”

  She walked briskly and stood at the ter as instructed, and faced the others.

  Slowly, the magic circle beh her feet began to hum with power as it slowly glowed, and lit up with a brilliant light.

  Magic began to fill the air around her, almost enpassing her like a thick mist.

  “Ainz, look at this.”

  Ainz approached, and Arche looked at the robed magic caster who seemed to be looking at something invisible to her curiously.

  Meanwhile, Ainz saanel before him, simir to the game panel he was so familiar with in Yggdrasil. It denoted Arche’s current level, level cap, and the amount of Yggdrasil gold required to increase her level cap by 5.

  ‘50,000 Yggdrasil gold, huh… That’s not that bad. But it’ll increase the higher the level…’

  “Mm… Well, it’s not bad. lenty of yggdrasil gold, and we use the Exge Box to get more. Yuuji is already gathering a lot of things that produce quite a bit of Yggdrasil Gold from it.”

  “Mm. Demiurge, find out aimation of how much gold eacrease in level cap would cost for each 10 level intervals.”

  “Yes, my lord.”

  Demiurge bowed, his brilliant mind already rag to formute pns and experiments to achieve what his master ordered.

  “The’s start.”

  Ainz looked at Arche once more, and feeling the gaze, Arche uood the question he left unsaid, and nodded.

  He nodded in respohen, he clicked the button beled “Breakthrough” on the panel.

  Arche immediately felt weightlessness as her body lifted up from the ground, carried by the tremendous winds of are magibsp;

  The magic circle below her grew brighter and brighter, almost filling the entire room in brilliant light.

  She could feel her body filling with more magic than she ever felt before. Mana c through her veins like rushing rivers as she felt imaginary shackles, one by one, shattered.

  She could tell… Her limits were being broke a time through the sheer foragibsp;

  Then, a few moments ter, she fell bato the ground like a feather, and immediately tried to catch her breath.

  It was then that she realized… her breath felt lighter.

  She stood up straight and began g and ung her hands, and a surge of power unfamiliar to her coursed through her body.

  It felt… miraculous.

  Seeing her fall back down to the ground, Ainz quickly used his geass to see her level.

  Her level cap, previously 23, had now risen to 28. And her level, most likely due to the accumuted experience points, also shot up to 26.

  A success.

  “How do you feel?”

  Arche looked up at the God of Magic before her, and nothing but smiles graced her face.

  “I feel amazing, master… I feel so powerful!”

  “Good. You’ve grown more powerful, but you have not reached the limits of your new potential.”

  Arche’s eyes widened in shobsp;

  She felt so powerful, but she hadn’t reached the limits of her potential? Just how strong could she be?!

  ‘This is… beyond miraculous!’

  Ainz turowards the butler standing by the side of the door.

  “Sebas, train her until she hits her level cap. Then bring her back here to break her level cap again. Do so until she reaches level 35.”

  “Yes, my lord.”

  He then turned back towards Arche.

  “Grow stronger, and you shall be capable of proteg your little sisters with your own strength. As for your previous suggestion, I shall put it under serious sideration.”

  Arche immediately fell to her knee and bowed deeply.

  “Thank you very much for yrace, master. I shall not disappoint.

  Ainz he along with Zero, Demiurge, and the maids, leaving Sebas behind.

  “Do you wish to rest? Or do you wish to start your training now?”

  “Now, please, Lord Sebas. I feel invigorated, and I do not wish to keep Master Ainz waiting for long.”

  Sebas nodded in satisfa with her answer, and led her to the Amphitheatre on the Sixth Floor of the Underground Tomb of Nazarick.
