Code: Overlord

Part 12

Ninya: "You know, I just realized something. We've crossed into the wise king of the forest's territory" 

Momon: "Who is this...wise king?" 

Nfirea: "It's a very old and powerful creature, at least, that's what the legends say. Not only can it cast magic, but it's physically strong and if it's four razor sharp claws don't finish you off, it's snake tail will" 

Momon: "Interesting...I think I'd like to meet it" 

Time skip 

After our protagonists finished with their break, we see them getting ready to begin moving once again as Nfirea saddled the horse up to the cart, Momon was talking with Ninya while Y/n and Nabe both stood idly by relaxing before Lukrut once again approached 

Lukrut: "I just realized, you always seem super relaxed Nabe" 

Nabe's composure began to waver as her patience for the Ranger grew thin, annoyance growing at a rapid pace 

Lukrut: "Is it because you know that I'm keeping you safe?"

Nabe: "It has nothing to do with you, I'm with Mr. Y/n" 

While she glared daggers at Lukrut, she was caught off guard when she felt two arms wrap around her waist from behind and looked to see Y/n resting his head on her shoulder, mask off to reveal his smiling face as she smiled a little before calming down and returning to her neutral state 

Lukrut: "Y'know, I first had my doubts when Momon said the two of you were lovers but I guess he really wasn't lying. I admit, the two of you do look good-" 

Lukrut was cut off when Nabe had a sudden outburst at that remark as a blush dusted her face before she shouted at him 

Nabe: "It isn't like that! Don't put words into my mouth, Lady Albedo is the only one he needs by his side-" 

Y/n: "That's enough Nabe!"

The sudden command from Y/n snapped Nabe out of her outburst as she noticed everyone was staring at her and a look of realization kicked in before she slowly covered her mouth in shock as Y/n guided her to the other side of the cart away from Lukrut while Momon cleared his throat to address the Ranger 

Momon: "Mr. Lukrut, Please stop looking into my friends' personal lives" 

Lukrut: "Uh, sure...My bad. but from the sound of it, your friend's one lucky man Mr. Momon" 

Peter then approached Y/n and Nabe with an apologetic look on his face 

Peter: "I'm sorry, he can be really idiotic sometimes. Please forgive him, I promise he doesn't mean any harm by it" 

Y/n: "As long as he backs down on the flirting, I'll consider it" 

Peter: "Thank you, you hear that Lukrut? You really need to stop delving into other people's business-" 

Peter was cut off when Lukrut raised his hand to silence him, a smirk on his face as he leaned forward 

Lukrut: "They're on the move" 

This got everyone's attention as they looked ahead of themselves searching for something 

Peter: "From where?" 

Lukrut: "Just pass the tree line" 

Pointing towards the forest, they saw a large group of monsters mainly entirely of Goblins and Ogres. The Goblins were covered in armor that had been either crafted by themselves, or salvaged from previous skirmishes while they also wielded short swords and other small one handed weapons, while the Ogres wore no armor but carried large wooden clubs that were heavy enough to turn even the most armored of adventurers into mince meat

Lukrut: "I don't think we'll be able to avoid this fight" 

Peter: "It's going to get rough very quickly, the best thing you can do is stay hidden in the cart" 

Nfirea: "Ok, my life is in your hands" 

Peter: "Mr. Momon, what's the best way to split the group up?" 

Momon: "All of you should stay close to Nfirea, We'll show him our services are worth every coin" 

Peter: "That sounds good to me, but we're not just gonna watch, you'll have all the extended support we can muster" 

Ninya: "If we go full defensive, most of them will escape back into the forest" 

Lukrut: "In that case, I say we do the usual. Pull the turtle's head out of its shell and cut it off" 

Dyne: "A sound strategy, but still flawed. Even though Momon will take the brunt of their attack, what about the ones that get through?" 

Peter then responded by drawing his sword from it's scabbard as he held it with one hand, shield firmly grasped in the other as they watched the approaching monster horde 

Peter: "That's easy, I'll use my fortress martial art, and hold back the ogres, the goblins are yours" 

Dyne: "I was hoping you'd say that" 

With that, Dyne readied his mace and Lukrut notched an arrow in his bow while Ninya readied his staff 

Momon: "Y/n, hope you're ready to show everyone what we're really worth...Y/n?" 

Looking back, he saw that Y/n and Nabe were both missing as he looked around the cart and realized Nfirea was pointing in the direction of the monsters 

Nfirea: "They both ran ahead" 

Looking in the direction of the monsters, Nfirea was indeed telling the truth as Y/n and Nabe were both running in the direction of the monsters and closing in rapidly, causing a sigh of annoyance to leave the Armored Overlord 

Momon: "Can't we just have one fight where he doesn't rush in?" 

And with that, Momon then ran in to assist Y/n in the approaching fight as the screen then cut to black before they could make contact, signaling the end of this chapter 

And that's it for this chapter. I hope you all enjoyed it, let me know what your thoughts on it are and if there were any mistakes that need to be fixed, I'll see you all next time!
