Chapter 19 - Helping Subaru doing a speedrun 1

Right now im watching Ainz and subaru while flying in the sky. Ainz just made a very overlord like spech and pose... and then nothing more happened... they are in a awkward silence

...

In Subaru's room

Ainz: ...

Subaru: ...

"u-um... so... how are you going to help me?" Subaru asks while trying to defuse the silence

"I... didnt planned too far..." Ainz answers and stops acting

"wait what?" Subaru is shocked by his sudden change

Ainz walks toward subaru bed and sits on his side

"*sigh* can you tell me what are you going to do? i have been watching you for like 10 or so tries... but still cant see what you are trying to accomplish" Ainz starts to talk in a casual manner, tired of acting like an overlord all the time

"Well... i was trying to save everyone on this village. To do that we need to pass the 3 tests and we will disable the barrier"

"Also, im trying to save rem and make everyone remember her again"

"Rem? ah, you mean the blue haired girl, right?" Ainz asks

"You... you can remember her?!" Subaru asks while gazing at ainz with a perplex look

"Yes, im immune to any mind control or alteration magic"

"ah... right, you are an undead god..."

"Well im not-" Ainz was about to say he is not a god and then remembers hiw realm level

"Well yeah, sort of... but just a minor god"

"Ah, i almost forgot. Is your 'Checkpoint' right here and now? In this room?" Ainz asks

"Ah... i almost forgot that you know abot that... Yeah, its here, why?"

"Hey Rob, can you make my 'Checkpoint' here too?" Ainz while lifting his head toward the roof, like he is talking to someone on the sky

"Sure" A voice is heard in the room

I change the checkpoint of Ainz and a blue glow appears on Ainz for a few seconds, i just made that so he has some visual confirmation

"Wait... Ainz... who are you talking to? And who was that!?" Subaru asks a little panicked

"Well... you can call it some sort of... major god? Thing of him like the boss of the gods" Ainz answers without knowing the correct way to say it

"Also, why 'checkpoint'? You also return in time?"

"Well, technically yes, but its your power that turns back the entire world. I just appear at some point in a random checkpoint out of nowhere... its quite annoying to be honest"

"Well, sorry about that... i guess?" Subaru answers a little confused

"Well then subaru, lets talk about your future plan" Ainz gaze at subaru

"Sure! With your help im sure we can save everyone!" Subaru says very hyped

...

The next day, on the morning

Subaru is walking towards Ram, like in every start of the loop... just that right now a very big skeleton with a golden staff is on his side...

Ram see Ainz from the distance and start to channel her magic, prepared for a fight

"Barusu, get away from that!"

A.N: (Barusu is the way Ram calls Subaru)

"Wait Ram! He is friendly!" Subaru says while trying to shield Ainz

"Friendly?! Thats an undead! Now get away from him!" Ram cast a little wind spell to push subaru out of the way

"{El Fura}" Then Ram cast a powerful wind spell, making many wind blade go toward Ainz... who just stays in place

"Um, can we just tal-" Before Ainz finish the wind blades reach him

Right now Ainz is....!

... Completly fine... as he is immune to to magic below a certain power

"What?!" Ram is shocked as the wind blades simply dissapears after touching Ainz

"... can we talk right now? Im a friendly skeleton" Ainz says, trying to calm Ram

"Thats true Ram, he is pretty friendly!" Subaru, after coming back from a bush he crashed on, says to Ram

"If that doesnt work, then take this...!" Ram starts to channel more magic for another spell

Ainz: ...

Tired of this Ainz cast a simple spell

"{Silence}" Then her channeled magic dissapears

"Wha-" Ram tries to cast another spell, but her magic dissapears

"So, can we talk now?" Ainz asks while sighing

After losing her magic and being in, on her head, a "Deadly" situation, Ram calms down real quick

"Barusu, considering what you said, what are you doing with an undead? Even if its a 'Friendly' one?"

"Well... he want to help me with the tests! Yeah!" Subaru thinks about it and says the first thing he thought

Subaru explains the whole story, leaving aside the return from the dead part

...

After pacifing Ram and showing Ainz around the village, its time to start the operation: Save everyone... without dying too much

Subaru, trying to make a plan asks Ainz

"Hey Ainz, do you have mana?"

"Mana? Yes, of course, you need mana to cast spells"

"Then how much do you have? i mean... its a lot?"

"Mmm... I think i have plenty of it... yes, compared to that Roswaal guy i have twenty times or so more i think" Ainz answers, trying to make a comparison

"T-Twenty?! and it can be more than that?!" Subaru, shocked by this asks to confirm

"Yes, is that much? I think that guy has too little mana. He must be some local magician, right?"

"... ... ... He is supposedly one of the most powerful magicians of the kingdom..."

"... *Ehem* Going back to the topic, why did you asked me the mana question?" Ainz cough and tries to change the topic

"Ah, yes... Do you remember those... rabbits? *shivers* ... They are attracted to mana so i think you can bait them and kill all together" Subaru says but shivers in the middle, remembering the many deaths by them

"Mmm... a valid plan, i have seen them and each one is pretty weak, the number must be the problem, right?"

"Yes, if you dont kill them all very very fast, they will keep coming" Subaru answers seriously

"Thats easy, i can use a great AOE spell"

"Ao...e? .... ok it doesnt matter, just kill them all. Next thing are the 2 assasins on the mansion..."

"Yeah i saw them, they are humans right? If thats the case i can kill them instantly"

"Eh... sure... you can do that..." Subaru answers a little confused of how easy he can solve his problems

"Next would be-" Before subaru finish Ainz says

"Making that little girl complete the trials without going crazy?"

"Well sorf of... but i wanted to say... to let her pass alone... can you really help her?" Subaru asks, not knowing if Ainz can help Emilia too

"Mmm... i dont know, i can try casting her a 'Calm mind' spell so it would be easier..."

"But what concerns me more here is... you, Natsuki Subaru"

"eh? Me?" Subaru asks while pointing at himself

"Yes, you. Maybe in the middle of the operation you will go crazy for some reason... i have seen that many times"

"uh-uh... you saw that... well, if you help me i can be confident! As long as you help me i wont go crazy! I promise!" Subaru says after being a little embarassed

After making the whole plan, Subaru and Ainz goes to speak to Garfield, Otto and the rest. Telling them a little to make the ready

While they where walking, Ainz gaze at Roswaal rooms

"Hey subaru, you know, that Roswaal guy, although a little weak, has a great ammount of dark energy surrounding him" Ainz says after thinking if saying it or not

"Dark energy? Like... the witches or something?"

"You could say that...Although he doesnt have as much as you, he has too much for a simple kindgom mage" Ainz answers

"Then we must be ready for his intervention in the plan"

"Sure" Answers Ainz

"Okay, lets go to the mansion... Im gonna call otto so he can bring us in carriage"

"Thats not gonna be necessary. {Gate}"

"Huh?" Subaru is dumbfounded at the sight of a giant portal

"Now lets go, this is going to bring us directly to the mansion"

"uh? oh... okay" Subaru follows a little absent minded

...

A giant red portal opens outside the mansion of Roswaal

Frederica is alerted by such a huge ammount of mana and is prepared to fight whatever exits of it. Changing to beast mode in an instant

What comes out is... very big skeleton... followed by a quiet subaru

"Subaru?! Get away from that!" Frederica is shocked and shouts at Subaru, trying to 'save' him

"Uh? oh hi frederica, i came with my friend here Ainz, he is a friendly undead" Subaru says like its the most normal thing in the world

"Hello, pleased to meet you, im Ainz Ooal Gown" Ainz says with a calm voice

"Uh? uh, hello... not! Thats an undead! They hate everything that alive!"

"I know but he is different, look at how calm he is... he said hello!" Subaru says trying to make a point

"*sigh* Okay, i was told that you make many weird things... lets think this is one of them" Frederica Says after a sigh

"so, why are you here with your undead friend?"

"Um... how do i say this? Some bad people will come to the mansion! I brought him here to help" Subaru says after thinking how to answer that

"Bad people? i dont know what are you talking about, lets enter first and you can tell me" Frederica says and brings Ainz and Subaru inside the mansion

While they were walking, a wild Elsa appears out of nowhere with her sadistic smile

"Well~ hello there, i think its time to-"

"{Graps Heart}" Before Elsa can finish Ainz cast his favorite spell

Elsa suddendly stay stiff and then starts to cough blood... but she is still alive

"Uh? A human can resist this? but she for some reason she is wounded... so it worked?" Ainz is confused by the current situation

"She has a very high regeneration and vitalitly, that and her superstrenght are what makes her dangerous" Subaru says with a serious face

"ah... so her heart was crushed and now is being regenerated? Lets not waste more time... {Maximise Magic} {Reality Slash}"

A semi transparent blade goes toward Elsa, who is still immobile

She is cut but at the same tame its like she is not

While reality distort around her, her upper body separated from her lower body. Making a very gory picture. But subaru is completly calm after seeing worse

"Wha..." That was the last words of Elsa before dying without know how it happened

Frederica is stunned in place after seeing such a powerful magic, the she looks at Ainz with a fearful gaze

"Ah dont worry, im heping Subaru, so as long as you are not his enemy i will not attack you" Ainz says after seeing her worried gaze...

"Well, that was easier that i thought it would be... now-" Before subaru can finish, a giant lion beast appears on the hallway

"Shit, that thing is dangerous, we need to-" Frederica is about to say run when

"{Black hole}"

The black lion is compressed into itself, going into a little black hole at his center... then dissapearing from existence

Frederica, stunned again... looks now at Subaru, who is completly calm about this... then she sighs and simply walks along with them

"I think the tamer girl was in the forest" Subaru says

"Then lets go. {Mass fly}"

Ainz cast a mass fly spell and the three of them starts to fly outside the mansion from a window

"Woah, so this is flying? Its awesome!" Subaru is pretty exited by this, not shocked by anything AInz do

...

5 minutes later, the group reach a place full of beasts, there is a little girl with blue hair on the center

"Eh? how are you fine after-"

"{Trimple maximise magic} {Reality Slash}"

A three times more powerful reality slash is casted... then she dies in an instant

"Ainz, can you let her finish before killing them? Interrupt the villains spech is a very rude thing" Subaru says after seeing the same ending as before

"Ah? Sure, but i didnt wanted any surprises or unexpected things to happen"

Now without a controller, all the beast goes away, like they know Ainz is too powerful for them

"Now then... lets go back to the sanctuary thing? or you have some business on the mansion?" Ainz asks

"Ah i almost forgot, let me see Beatrice for a moment" Subaru says and the the tri goes back to the now safe mansion

...

After a very touching and cute talk took place inside the library... After some time subaru exits with Beatrice on hand

"Hoh? She feels like a spirit... " Ainz says with a very interested voice

"Wha-? An undead? Subaru, get away from-" Beatrice says but!

"Not this again!" Subaru shouts with an exasperated face

"Eh?" beatrice is very confused by this

Then the same thing explaining who Ainz is and how he meets him... etc

"Now that everything is okay in the mansion, lets go to the sanctuary!" Subary says... and then looks at Ainz

"... okay okay. {Gate}"

Beatrice and Frederica are astounded by the giant red portal, while Subaru and Ainz calmly walks in. The other 2 although a little afraid, follows them

Now the party of 4 is on the way to the sanctuary
