Black Scripture Skirmish was a chance conflict between the Black Scripture and Shalltear Bloodfallen.

Background[]

Shalltear Bloodfallen having previously been assigned by Ainz Ooal Gown to capture individuals, mainly criminals who could use Martial Arts, tracked a band of mercenaries known as Death Spreading Brigade near the outskirts of E-Rantel. Having slaughtered the entirety save one, Shalltear ran afoul of adventurers. The Floor Guardian easily defeated them, however, she paused in slaying one of their number, Brita, as she was possibly related to Ainz's plans. Interrogating her using her powers, the vampire learned that the adventurers had one member unaccounted for and was most likely fleeing back to the fortress city. Having bungled in maintaining secrecy, Shalltear attempted to use her ten summons, vampire wolves, to hunt and kill the adventurer before he reported her existence to his superiors. The summons, however, were annihilated, prompting Shalltear to engage the unknown party.

Battle[]

Shalltear sprinted towards the unidentified enemy at lightning speed. Bursting at the last known position of her summons, she spotted twelve people. The vampire noted the difference of preparedness these people possessed, taking note that the equipment used by the group of strangers were possibly items of legendary class or higher. Resting her gaze upon a single man, she estimated him to be stronger than her Vampire Brides but also possibly Solution Epsilon.

Shalltear is hit by Downfall of Castle and Country...

...but not before critically injuring the user

Before the item activated, Shalltear's sixth sense warned her of the danger the woman posed and turned to eliminate her. The man with the spear intercepts her, managing to resist a blow that could pulverize a normal human. Shalltear cast [Mass Hold Species] to capture them. Suddenly she begins to feel her mind being consumed. Knowing something was wrong, she realized that she was experiencing mind control, an experience that should have been impossible given her immunity to mind-control magics. Struggling to fight the corroding influence with herculean effort, she used her class skill to create a [Purifying Javelin], a gigantic lance of the holy element. Marshaling all her opposition, she targeted the user of the mind control item, who was protected by a shield-bearing man. Throwing the lance with all her might, the vampire pierced through the warrior and the old woman. The last thing Shalltear saw was the pair coughing blood in agony.[1]

Aftermath[]

After the incomplete mind control, Shalltear went into attack mode every time the Scripture tried to capture it or got close. Besides the death of their shield-bearing warrior, Cedran, another member, Beaumarchais, attempts to restrain the nearly brainwashed vampire but later lost his life. In addition, Kaire, who was the user of the mind control item had sustained severe wounds from the powerful attack, forcing the Black Scripture to retreat.[2]

Shortly after the Scripture departed, an unknown foe attacked Shalltear, causing her to react to defend herself and utilize her Divine Item Spuit Lance and equip herself with her Valkyrie Armor. Using her abilities and equipment she managed to prevail in driving the enemy back.
