Chapter 207: Joining Nazarick
Usually, Demiurge would have used his ability to force people to prostrate themselves before their master, but today he refrained, knowing it would be useless.
"I wonder, how should I address you?" Ainz said, his hollow eyes staring thoughtfully at Shido as he observed every detail, his posture, movements, and the faint fluctuations of magic around him.
Life Essence.
Ainz activated the ability, intending to view Shido’s health value. His eyes widened beneath the darkness of his skull as he saw the near-infinite vitality pulsing within Shido’s body. In addition to that, Ainz sensed a strange energy around him, something entirely different from mana, swirling protectively around Shido like an unseen shield.
However, after the initial shock, Ainz quickly calmed himself. He was no longer surprised, having already realized how monstrous this man standing before them truly was.
’What is this monster?’
If Shido knew what Ainz was thinking, he would have rolled his eyes and muttered, ’Who’s the monster between us?’
Ainz continued to examine the power radiating from Shido before shifting his focus to the man’s appearance, and he had to admit, Shido was truly handsome, to the point that even Ainz found himself forming a positive impression of him.
His long silver hair cascaded down to his waist like a river flowing through the galaxy. His sharp, crimson eyes were both enchanting and dangerous, drawing in those who dared meet his gaze as if they were being dragged into the abyss. Shido was clad in a striking combination of white and black armor, while the divine ring had returned to its place behind him, giving his appearance an ethereal feeling.
"My name?"
"Yes."
