Overlord Manga Chapter 75

This is the seventy fifth chapter of the Overlord Manga.

Summary
Ainz Ooal Gown announces to the imperial knights to be given applause to celebrate his supreme power. The knights along with Mare Bello Fiore are quick respond by clapping their hands. When one of the Dark Young turns in their direction and begins running toward the Imperial Army, the knights respond with even louder clapping in fear. As the monster gets closer and shows no sign of stopping, one of the knights in fear breaks ranks and flees. Soon he is followed by more of his fellows until mass panic erupts.

Nimble Arc Dale Anoch who is at the front of the army can only look in shock. However the sight of the fleeing knights is nothing compared to when the Dark Young halts before Ainz and him. Ainz then climbs aboard the Dark Young. At the top of the monstrosity he apologizes to Nimble for altering the original plan of casting his most powerful spell as he did not allow for the Imperial Army a chance to shine by leading a charge. But since the knights would be more prone to being trampled by his Dark Young it would cause him to be responsible for their deaths and offer an explanation to the emperor.

Ainz decides to let Nimble's men do their assigned roles. Nimble asks the Sorcerer King if he intends to bring his undead to the battlefield and launch an assault. The undead states that he sees no point as the Dark Young have already accomplished that role in destroying the Royal Army. Instead he will allow Nimble and his men to clean up and keep Mare at the base camp. To Ainz he as a certain target in mind he would like to check on. Nimble disgusted at the carnage mutters if Ainz is a devil, only for the undead to hear him and correct him, stating that he is an undead.

On the plains, Marquis Elias Brandt Dale Raeven looks on with dread at the slaughter, wondering aloud to himself on where Ainz Ooal Gown learned such terrifying magic. Seeing that battlefield is no just a killing ground, Raeven orders his men to retreat. Boris Axelson asks on the whereabouts of the king. The marquis sees that the king's camp is close to one of the rampaging Dark Young. Though the noble understands that if they king is lost, the entire kingdom could fall apart, he decides to put his faith in Gazef Stronoff in protecting the king and has Boris lead his team lead him to safety.

During the flight on horseback Raeven mind is frantic on how such a monster like Ainz Ooal Gown could exist in the world of humanity and on how to protect the future from this new threat. Lockmeier notices that one of the Dark Young is hot on their trail and warns his allies. Boris desperate for a way to fight back asks Lundqvist for a magical solution, only to be rebuke by the magic caster on the hopelessness of fighting a monster of that caliber. Boris then tells them that they have no choice and orders them to be ready.

The former adventurer then urges Raeven to escape on ahead, promising that they will guard his rear. Understanding the noble rides his mount first, while behind him he hears his subordinate shout spells and attacks at the approaching monster. The sounds soon die off, as a looming shadow of the Dark Young appears to blot out Raeven and his mount. Feeling that these are his last moments, the marquis curses for coming to the battlefield as he was aware of Ainz Ooal Gown's tremendous power when he was in the Royal Capital but failed to truly comprehend the magnitude, but was blind by his desire for the future of the kingdom. In tears now all he can think is about his wife and dear child and see them again. Looking back behind him Ravaen feels he is about to meet his doom.

Elsewhere back at the king's tent, the Vice Captain urges King Ramposa III to flee as soon as possible. Ramposa though does not wish to shame himself by fleeing, but the Vice-Captain pleads the king to reconsider as there is nothing more he can do now by flee to E-Rantel and plan for a counter attack.
