That’s what the dark warrior who had shown up late declared. His confidence in himself and determination could be keenly felt, even if his face was hidden.

The atmosphere was under some pressure, as if things had been shaken up, and someone gasped. Everyone felt almost as if it had been his own voice.

“Then what about the other—?”

“Unnecessary. I don’t need anyone slowing me down,” he interrupted, waving a hand that said they’d be in the way. He’d spat the cruel words in an arrogant tone.

That wasn’t how one should conduct oneself in a room of similarly ranked adventurers. But the men there, who had made it through many life-or-death battles, sensed that his remarks weren’t born of insolence, narcissism, or conceit, but rather realistic calculation. They also sensed he had the power to be able to say them.

This man was beyond the realm of normal humans.

It was as if the raven-black armor had expanded before their eyes. The oppressive atmosphere was palpable, and the room seemed to have gotten smaller. They sensed from this man that he was similar to people they had met and felt they could never catch up to, like an adamantite-plate adventurer.

He was a man who could be called a hero.

Ainzach clammed up and just breathed a few times. No, everyone there did the same thing. The atmosphere was heavy enough that the mayor was loosening his collar as he sweat.

Ainzach asked in a near whisper, “And for compensation?”

“We can discuss that later. But I’d like you to promise that if I take care of this, if I find and destroy this vampire, that you’ll make me at least orichalcum. That will make it easier for me to travel in search of the second one. It’s a pain to have to prove my strength over again each time.”

Everyone in the room thought that made sense.

It wasn’t as if adventurers served the city or country, but currently in this city, there was no one with the rank of orichalcum. If he became the strongest adventurer in town, his reputation would become known to everyone. Not only that, but due to the rarity of orichalcum adventurers, his name would travel far. He would also get requested by name for more dangerous jobs, and the chance that he would acquire information about this immensely powerful vampire was high.

But there was one man who couldn’t accept it emotionally, even if his rationality otherwise might have allowed him to do so.

A chair clattered, and when everyone looked, it was, perhaps as expected, the one who had been picking on Ainz since before, Igvarge. “I’m not convinced of your power. I-in the first place, we don’t even know if that vampire is strong or not! The magic to use a zombie could have come from an item. We’re going with you!” He’d been able to move despite being overawed because of his dislike of and hostility toward Ainz, as well as the conviction that he didn’t want to let him get away with this.
