Darkness

Darkness (漆黒) was one of the three strongest adamantite ranked adventurer teams of the Re-Estize Kingdom. Furthermore, they are also considered to be the most powerful adventurer party in the Re-Estize Kingdom. However, after declaring allegiance to the Sorcerer King, they abandoned that nation, becoming the first adamantite adventurer team of the Sorcerer Kingdom.

Background
Ainz Ooal Gown decided to become a famous adventurer and live in a human city for a while. This was so that he could gather more information about the New World and its combatants. He enlisted the help of Narberal Gamma as his adventurer partner to accompany him during his journey to the fortress city of E-Rantel. Reasonably so, the group disguised themselves as new adventurers under the names of Momon and Nabe. They started their first adventurer group debut at E-Rantel and made the city as their home base.

Initially, Darkness was supposed to be an adventurer group consisting of only two members in the team at first. Though the team lacks a support type (divine) magic caster, they were still able to manage in successfully achieving several feats from major requests/missions. They have also registered the Wise King of the Forest in the group's rank right after Momon tamed it, and made it his pet and his mount. According to two members of Blue Roses, it only took the new adamantite group around two months at most, since their debut in the Adventurer's Guild, to carry out various feats like slaying the mysterious vampire. Because of all the amazing things they have done within a short matter of time, it led their reputation to greatly spread throughout the Re-Estize Kingdom and even the Baharuth Empire who later learned about their group's history.

The Dark Warrior Arc
Darkness debuted in E-Rantel, where they started off as copper class adventurers, the lowest rank. Their first job was to escort Nfirea Bareare to Carne Village along with the Swords of Darkness and help him gets some herbs from Tob Forest which they easily achieved. Along the way, the duo single-handedly mowed down a group of ogres headed for E-Rantel, and once inside the forest, Momon managed to tame the Wise King of the Forest.

Darkness was requested again by Lizzie Bareare, the grandmother of Nfirea to save his grandson from the unknown group, who kidnapped him. They went to E-Rantel's cemetery, and faced a mob of the undead, but managed to breakthrough. They met the two instigators, a hero class warrior and an old necromancer, who were performing a death ritual. The duo managed to kill them and foil their plan before they set it in motion. For their part in saving the city, Momon and Nabe were promoted to mythril class adventurers.

The Bloody Valkyrie Arc
Kralgra, Sky Wolf, Rainbow, and Darkness were summoned amid the mythril class adventurer groups of E-Rantel to discuss the appearance of the powerful vampire, Honyopenyoko. Momon insisted that Darkness would fight against Honyopenyoko alone, arguing that if others became involve in the fight will only increase the number of victims. Sky Wolf and Rainbow accept his suggestion while Kralgra ignored his advice and chose to follow which resulted in the groups demise.

The battle with the vampire ended with Momon successfully killing the vampire in an intense battle. The Adventurer's Guild later examined the aftermath of the battle and came to the conclusion that he had truly vanquished the vampire. Darkness was then promoted again this time to adamantite class adventurers, the highest adventurer rank attainable. They became the third adamantite class adventurer party in the Kingdom. They became extremely famous and this allowed them to monopolize all mythril class quests in E-Rantel.

The Sealed Evil Tree Arc
When arriving in the Adventurer's Guild, Momon was informed by Ainzach that there is a request to obtain a rare herb grown in the northern region of the Great Forest of Tob. Darkness agreed to take on the request despite being told by Ainzach that it will be difficult to complete it without some assistance from other adventurer groups. However, Momon went on ahead and completed the mission earlier than Ainzach had even expected. This left Ainzach shocked as he felt his assistance was in vain after organizing the three adventurer groups to aid Darkness during the start of their mission. In the end, it left the man shouting in disbelief from how Darkness was able to accomplish it within a matter of three days since their departure.

The Two Leaders Arc
When Momon of Darkness had trouble entering E-Rantel, he encounters Enri Emmot who was being interrogated by the city's officials. However, the village girl was let go and no longer in custody with the help from Momon. According to the officials, Momon vouched for her with his status as an adamantite-ranked adventurer on the line. They even noted that the exploits of Darkness particularly Momon in the graveyards of E-Rantel were a common topic of discussion whenever the soldiers gathered there. It could be said that most of the armed forces of E-Rantel admired the adventurer group as their fans.

Meanwhile, Darkness made his intentions clear he will be tackling some monster subjugation quests at the moment. As a result, he was able to eventually learn about the Giant of the East and the Serpent of the West sooner or later from the Adventurer’s Guild and confronts his subordinate Lupusregina Beta about it back in Nazarick.

The Dark Hero's Story Arc
The adventurer group, Darkness was hired by Torkel Karan Dale Völkchenheim and Andre to escort and guard them on their journey. During their travel together, they came across a threatening monster known as the Gigant Basilisk from a nearby village hunting goblins. They easily defeated the creature with ease and later went on to complete their mission thereafter.

The Men in the Kingdom Arc
Evileye and Gagaran talked about the recent addition to the list of adamantite adventurer group in the Re-Estize Kingdom. Particularly, Darkness was identified by members of Blue Roses to have their signature color as black which may them figured it has some correlation to the Slane Theocracy. They acknowledged the fact that the color being used by the adventurer group also derived from the faith of the Six Great Gods.

According to the two, Darkness rose to adamantite rank within a matter of two months at most. First, they took care of the incident in E-Rantel regarding the thousands of undead that spawned. Later, they exterminated the coalition of goblin tribes from the north, then gathered an incredibly rare herb from the Tove Mountains. Afterward, they subjugated a Gigant Basilisk, and along the way, exterminated a group of undead that spilled over from the Katze Plains as well as defeating a powerful vampire.

On the other hand, Darkness was hired by Marquis Raeven to enhance his estate's security in the wake of the recent disturbances and to suppress the criminal group known as Eight Fingers. However, their request had change with the appearance of Jaldabaoth and his demon army, looking for a certain item in the royal capital.

During the disturbance, Momon, Nabe and Evileye faced against Jaldabaoth and his battle maids, whilst Lakyus of Blue Roses led the adventurers against the demon army to prevent them from spreading deeper into the city. After successfully driving Jaldabaoth away, Momon became the hero of the Re-Estize Kingdom. Upon thanking the adventurers of Blue Roses for everything they have done, Darkness later part ways with them and returns back to E-Rantel where their home base is situated at.

The Invaders of the Large Tomb Arc
The adventurer group Darkness made a visit to Arwintar, capital of the Baharuth Empire and arranged a private meeting with Fluder Paradyne. During the meeting between both sides, Fluder pledged his new-found loyalty to the superior magic caster before him, willing to carry any sort of orders for his master. Hence, Fluder send specific worker groups over to the Great Tomb of Nazarick as sacrificial pawns to help his master for political means.

Amidst a discussion held among Workers, some thought that the achievements made by Darkness were taken out of context as it sounds unbelievable in more ways than one. A worker stated that Darkness being able to successfully subjugate a Gigant Basilisk with only two members and without the support of any healers was supposed to be impossible in the first place. Additionally, they felt the rumors about Darkness defeating a demon with a difficulty rating of over 200 in just one hit was preposterous.

Later, Darkness arrived and greeted the workers as the adventurer group was hired by Count Femel to escort them to a mysterious Large Tomb in the territory of Re-Estize Kingdom, alongside with the adventurers of the Baharuth Empire. They were in charge of the protection of the encampment near the Large Tomb while the workers explored the tomb.

Meanwhile in the mysterious tomb, Imina tried to reach a compromise with its owner Ainz Ooal Gown by stating that if he doesn't let them escape, the strongest people will come and forced their way through into this dungeon. Arche further emphasizes her friend's point, declaring that the adventurer Momon of Darkness is among those heroes out there who is even stronger than him as a top-rated warrior. Unfortunately, Ainz informs them that Momon won't be able to defeat him as he has already decided the terrible fate for each Foresight member.

In the end, no word from the workers came and were believed to have been wipe out inside the tomb. Following protocol, the adventurers left the area and reported back to Count Femel.

The Magic Caster of Destroy Arc
When a noble thought of the idea that maybe Darkness cab be the group to subdue Ainz Ooal Gown, other peers figured it is impossible to do so as the Adventurer's Guild would never allow it.

To prepare for the annual war, Crown Prince Barbro had suggested that the Royal Army conscript the adventurers, especially the adamantite adventurer group, Darkness. Baron Cheneko supported the idea wholeheartedly. Due to his enthusiasm, King Ramposa III gave him the mission of recruiting Darkness to the Kingdom's cause. Cheneko failed in his mission, as Nabe rebuffed him, stating Momon was on a solo mission somewhere else at the moment.

During the Sorcerer King's procession into the newly conquered city of E-Rantel, Momon defended a young boy and his mother before the cortège. While Albedo was prepared to execute the upstart, the Sorcerer King, impressed at the hero's defiance, relayed orders to Albedo and coerced the adamantite adventurer into servitude lest there would be a massacre of the remaining humans within the city. Outnumbered and seeing no alternative, Momon accepted the term, swearing Darkness to become subordinate to the Sorcerer King and responsible for killing any rebels. It was thanks to this that the inhabitants of E-Rantel remained passive under their new monstrous king, refusing to rebel, lest they tarnish Momon's reputation.

The Paladin of the Holy Kingdom Arc
The exploits of Darkness had reached the Roble Holy Kingdom. However, some pieces of information were distorted, causing others like the Holy Kingdom's envoys to misinterpret it. For instance, the battle in Re-Estize against Jaldabaoth, who they presumed to be a medium level demon was defeated by an adamantite adventurer made Remedios believe that she can beat him too.

When emissaries from the Holy Kingdom Liberation Army came to Re-Estize, they learned of the exact details concerning Darkness from Blue Roses. Within the group, Remedios thought Momon must have use some sort of special item to defeat him, but Evileye, a witness of his battle with Jaldabaoth denied such claim. Gustav then intervened into the conversation, questioning if Darkness could've exploited Jaldabaoth's weaknesses and Evileye believes it is possible, but doubtful.

While the Liberation Army intended to recruit Momon to fight against the Demon Emperor Jaldabaoth, their request was rejected by the Sorcerer King. The Sorcerer King, Ainz Ooal Gown declared to the envoys that this is because Momon's presence is needed in E-Rantel, so he could maintain the city's peace as its enforcer.

Strength
Darkness was said to be the most powerful and strongest adventurer party among the three groups in the Re-Estize Kingdom. This was evident enough for other adventurers to see in Momon as someone, who has reach the pinnacle of humanity. Currently, Darkness is the only known adamantite adventurer group to hold their own against very powerful monsters with a difficulty level of 150 to 200.

With only a warrior and a magic caster, it is thought to be next to impossible to resolve the many dangerous incidents that they are capable of resolving.

Also, Evileye herself closely estimated that both Momon's and Nabe's strength are the work of inhuman feats, believing them to be God-kin, who have the blood of a player. Out of all the warriors Evileye has came across in her lifetime, she concluded that he is the strongest warrior by far.
