Evil Lord - Soul for a Miracle

Then…

“Perfect Unknowable.”

“He’s gone again!”

“No faaaair.”

“I wish he’d fight fair and square!”

Nah, it’s your fault for not having a way to cope.

“Really, though, I still don’t know where Shizu is, and you three hid the fact that you were here! So who’s really being unfair?!” He knew they couldn’t hear him, but he shouted anyhow.

The next thing he knew, the evil lord was charging toward his previous position.

“Sorry, better luck next time!”

He was already on the move, but Ainz was no longer there. Just as Ainz was thinking that the evil lord was in range for an area-of-effect spell, he suddenly changed course and headed straight for Ainz.

“Huh?”

He shouldn’t be able to see me! The confusion was erased by the ensuing pain.

The evil lord’s punch sent him flying. Since it was a more serious blow than the last, it was impossible to evade or defend. No, more than that, he was off guard, so the idea of dodging hadn’t even occurred to him.

Using Fly, he was able to stabilize his posture, so he managed to avoid falling. Just like in the fight with Shalltear.

The evil lord flew after Ainz. The demon’s gaze was definitely tracking him.

An Evil Lord Wrath with a detection ability…? Oh, he used it! He used his ace move, Soul for a Miracle!

Based on the fables where demons would make wishes come true in exchange for someone’s soul, this ability manifested a miracle. Ainz wasn’t sure how the data were handled internally, but in Yggdrasil, it allowed the user to cast any spell tier eight or lower.

Evil lords generally used it to cast a healing spell. But this time, he must have used it to see through Perfect Unknowable.
