OVERLORD CHapter 43

[Subtitle - Instant Kill!]

Sebas: There is only one person who deserves to bear such a title.

Sebas: He who sits upon His lofty throne.

Sebas: Such a lowly undead being like yourself claiming it for your own is the height of presumption.

02
Sebas: To think you would keep fighting even after you’ve lost your head…

03
Sebas: Your fighting spirit warrants my sincerest respect.

Malmvist: We’ll rush him together!
Malmvist: The two of us, come on!!

04
Peysilian: T-take my Vo-
Peysialian: [Void Cutter!]

Malmivst: Shaaaaa!

06
Sebas: What’s this…
Sebas: Is this supposed to be an attack that cuts through space…?

Peysilian: Aieeeee…

Sebas: Now then
Sebas: It is my move.

07
Climb: -Tsuare-san, is that you?

Climb: Let’s get out of here before the enemy arrives.

08
Climb: What’s the matter, Brain-sama?

Brain: Hm? Ah, no. It’s nothing, Climb-kun.

Brain: (Am I imagining things?)

09
Sebas: -In any case.

Sebas: If the name [Void Cutter] had not aroused my caution, I would have settled this within 5 seconds.

Sebas: That you managed to draw it out to 20 seconds was most remarkable.

10
Sebas: Solution. After considering that they may have important information, try not to kill them.

Sebas: Now then.

Sebas: 10 more seconds for the rest of you.

???: To think you’d even get ants in a place like this…

13
???: It looks like they’ll show up anywhere if you leave a piece of sweet bait out for them.
???: This is most annoying.

Climb: Zero!

14
Zero: There’s the whore’s underling, and…

Zero: I remember that face.  You’re Brain Unglaus. As expected, there are no openings in your stance or movements. I guess I’ll need to forgive Succulent this time for losing to you.

Climb: Are you alright?
Climb: Do you have some way to heal yourself?

Climb: (He did all this with just one punch…)

Zero: Now then--

15
Zero: Normally, I’d have to kill you for making me lose face… but I’m a generous guy.
Zero: I’ll give you a chance, on account of your sword skills.

Zero: If you get on your knees before me and swear to be my subordinate, I’ll spare you. How about it?

Brain: It pays well, I hope?

Zero: Ho… you’re a greedy one.

Zero: To think you’d actually talk money with me when you should be begging for your life… you do know you can’t take it with you, right?

Brain: Oi oi.

16
Brain: You mean you can’t pay up?
Brain: As I thought, you’re nothing much.

Zero: The hell you say!?

17
Zero: Hmph, so the ant is standing up?

Zero: Have you bought him enough time?

Zero: It’s about time we heard what you really think. Now, Unglaus!
Zero: Show me your answer!

18
Zero: Death it is, then.

19
Zero: Your tombstone’s going to read: “This is the fate of all idiots who challenge Six Arms.”
Zero: And as for the whore’s slave, I’ll pretty his head up and send it back to her.

20
Brain: Really now? Then I’ll be your opponent, Zero.
Brain: Climb-kun, I’ll leave the opponent in the rear to you!
Climb: Huh…..
Tsuare(?): ...kh!

21
Tsuare(?): So you saw through it, huh!?
Climb: That voice--

Brain: Did you keep quiet because your voice would give you away?
Brain: But sidling up behind me reeked of suspicion, don’t you think?

Zero: Hmph.
Zero: Looks like they saw straight through your petty tricks… Succulent.

22
Zero: Kill those two small fry in the rear. Surely you can manage that, right?

Succulent: Of, of course, boss.

Succulent: We meet again, punk.

Climb: (To think Eight Fingers could even release someone impounded under the princess’ authority…)

23
Climb: (...I can’t lose this time.)

Lock: Don’t worry, don’t worry.
Lock: I’ll help you out.

Lock: My specialty is in providing support.

Lock: We don’t swing swords like warriors do; I’ll show you how a thief fights.

Lock: This is a thief’s fighting style!

24
Succulent: ...Poison!?

25
Lock: It’s [Will o’Wisp Powder!]

26
Succulent: Son of a bitch!

Lock: Oi oi, don’t make that scary face.

Lock: You’re one of Six Arms, aren’t you? That much of a handicap should be acceptable, right?

Brain: Whew~

Brain: Oi oi, they say top-rate monks can harden their fists to become like steel, but this is beyond that.
Brain: This would be like mithril… no, orichalcum, maybe?

Zero: Unglaus… you’re pretty good.
Zero: You’re the first man who’s managed to last this long against my attacks.

Brain: You too...
Brain: This is only the second time I’ve seen a monk like this in all my life.

30
Zero: Oh? This is the first time I’ve heard of another monk on my level.
Brain: He’s probably headed here now.
Brain: You know, after crushing those Six Arms of yours.

Zero: Hmph! That old man, you say?

Zero: Unfortunately, the people welcoming him are four of my closest subordinates, you know?
Zero: You don’t think he’ll actually be able to make it here, do you?

Brain: I wonder about that.

31
Lock: Here you go!

32
Climb: (If I want to finish him off, it’s now or never!)

33
Succulent: (How many times is he going to use the same move...()

34

36
Brain: Looks like they took care of things over there somehow. Looks like I won’t have to buy them any more time.

Brain: Let’s settle this once and for all, Zero.

37
Zero: A blade barrier, huh…

Zero: It’s not like Edstrem’s barrier of swords, but…

38
Brain: ...You’ll be sliced in two if you stumble in carelessly, don’t you think?
Zero: But...

39
Zero: I can see that move of yours only works if you take a stance.
Zero: In that case, all I need to do is attack from range and victory is mine.

Zero: You on the other hand, do you have any way to attack from a distance?
Brain: No, I don’t.

Zero: Is that your trump card, Brain Unglaus?
Brain: Exactly.
Brain: It’s only ever been beaten in a head-on clash once.

Zero: Hmph, how boring. So someone already defeated it once?

Zero: Then this will be the second time!

40
Zero: I’ll punch straight through you from the front.
Zero: I’ll crush that technique you’re so proud of, and attain victory.
Zero: Eventually, I’ll have Gazef Stronoff kneel before me
Zero: And thus, I’ll become the strongest man in the Kingdom!

Brain: And instead, your ambition is going to crumble at the first step of facing me.
Brain: Zero, you really do have too much time on your hands, don’t you?

Zero: Hmph. You can go lament my superiority in the afterlife.

41
Zero: As an idiot who dared challenge the great Zero-sama!
Zero: Here I come!

???: So you gentlemen were here after all.

42
Zero: Wha-
Zero: Why are you here?
