E-Rantel, the capital of the fledgling Sorcerer Kingdom, is plagued by a severe lack of supplies. Once a bustling hub famed for commerce, it now confronts turmoil because of its wariness—or even dread—toward its sovereign, Ainz Ooal Gown. To rectify the situation, Ainz dispatches Albedo as a diplomatic envoy to the city.
In parallel, the high clergy of the Slane Theocracy deliberate how to strike back at Ainz after his assault devastated the Re-Estize Kingdom"s forces, scheming for the Baharuth Empire to seize control of the Sorcerer realm. Yet when Emperor Jircniv Rune Farlord El Nix convenes a council with the Theocracy"s messengers in a colosseum, he is met by none other than Ainz himself.
With their clandestine assembly exposed, the emperor and his attendants discover that Ainz has issued a duel challenge to the Warrior King, the empire"s foremost champion. With motives beyond Jircniv"s grasp, he can only witness humanity"s destiny transform before his very sight in the dawn of conflict.
