"Rest in peace. May God bless you." Henry and his companion were standing in front of Ainz's dead body.

They had their hands joined and were praying for Ainz's soul. 

"To respect him, his death." 

"Hm." Henry gave him a nod.

His companion bent down, pushed the head towards Ainz's neck. The head and the body were connected. He kept this head where it was supposed to be before getting chopped off.

"I can't believe what have I done,"

"Relax. No one knows it was us who killed Ainz. so it won't be a problem."

"I am sad. Why me?! How can I…?" Henry grabbed his hair. He had the urge to pull them off one by one. 

"Ssh. We should focus on our mission. Let's find that Ryan bastard and kill him! If it was not for him, sir Ainz would have been with us."

"Right." Henry grabbed his sword, "Let's kill that punk." He pulled his sword. 

"First, we gotta search where his room is,"

"Behind? Let's check from the last corner," 

"Good idea."

They both turned around behind them was a staircase and beside the staircase was a corridor. 

They rushed in the corridor's direction to look for Ryan from the last corner then to the front. 

Ainz's head was lying on the floor next to his body, right above his neck which was cut. 

Suddenly, a black color shadow-type fog started forming around his neck. The part which was cut cleanly. It was totally covered around Ainz's neck.

With a swift movement, the head was pulled down against Ainz's neck. The black cloud was growing slightly. 

The black cloud started shrinking. Slowly, slowly, the black cloud vanished through a small gap on his neck, into his body. The black cloud had vanished, but with it, the cut mark had also vanished.

"Ughh..." with a low voice, Ainz was gaining his consciousness back. His dark eyes opened slowly, he brought his hand to his neck.

"Tch, who the hell was that?!" he rubbed against his neck for a while before getting up from the ground.

"No room huh?" he heard someone talking on the other side.

"No. his room is not on this side," 

'Hm.' Ainz took a deep breath. He thought it was the same men who had chopped his dead off. Ainz slowly walked away from the voice.

"Next, we shall look here,"

"Let's do it." 

Ainz could feel both of them come closer to him. He was holding a dagger in each hand. There were still bloodstains over his body and clothes.

"Henry, look out!!" it was too late for Henry to turn around from the turning he was walking out of.

Ainz quickly swung his dagger from the other side.

"Fuck!" Henry jerked his body which gave him some seconds before landing down and taking the knife head-on. 

Ainz had pulled the knife below his chest because he didn't know the enemy's height. 

With resistance against his dagger, the dagger pierced through Henry's stomach. Red blood spattered over Ainz and Henry's clothes.

"No! What are you doing, fool!" Henry shouted at the top of his lungs. 

"It's okay, Henry." Ainz's eyes went wide when he heard the name for the second time. 

He looked down at the enemy's stomach, but he found out that his dagger was not inside Henry's body. It was in his companion's palm.

"W- what the fuck…?" Henry's mouth dropped open when he saw that familiar face in front of him, "S- si- si- sir!! Y- y- y- you are alive?"

"Henry…? ….Henry!?!" Ainz could not suppress his surprise. He quickly pulled out his dagger. 

He threw his, covered in blood, dagger away on the ground. It fell with a metallic sound. 

"Fuck," Henry grabbed his companion's hand in his hands. 

He had a big hole right in the center of his palm, blood was pouring down through the hole. The ground was already covered in enough blood.

"Let me see. Move!" Henry lifted his head to see Ainz doing something with his hands.

He held his hands in front of each other, slowly, a black ball started forming in between his hands. 

"Move." Ainz hurried to Henry's partner. 

Ainz dropped the black ball out of his hands. It slowly, as a feather, started going down. 

"Eh?" He was confused as he saw the black ball go inside the hole created in his palm, "W- what is this-!!" he broke out in grunting pain.

He knew there was no way he could let out his voice, but when the pain started hurting his wound, it became impossible for him to keep his voice down. 

Henry quickly covered his mouth to lower the sound of his companion groaning in pain. 

"Let him scream. He can scream in pain as long as his screams don't reach the third and the second floor." Ainz pulled his hands away.

"Done." Ainz took a step behind with an expression of worry on his face. He was breathing heavily. 

The black color thing which was covering the wound Ainz had made, started expanding. In a second, it was covering his whole hand. His whole hand was now under the same black cloud.

He calmed down. His grunting, groaning stopped as the pain started disappearing with the black shadow. 

When the black ball had totally disappeared, Henry's partner's wound and the pain had disappeared too. Now, he was just gasping for air. 

Henry looked at Ainz with an apologetic expression.

"Uh, you don't need to apologize. Whatever you were doing, you were on a mission, I suppose. It's alright," Ainz lifted his hand to stop Henry, "You didn't kill me, you just wasted some of my Trait energy. I am alright,"

"Though- but- how did you come back to life?" Henry asked with respect in his voice.

"Oh- right. You might be one of the best assassins out there but you don't know about my Trait. No one does. It's not like I wanna keep it a secret anyway,"

"No way…. Does your Trait give you unlimited lives?" Henry exclaimed.

"No!" Ainz quickly replied with a frown, "No, man. My Trait is Necromancy… in other words, I am a Necromancer."

"N- Ne- Necromancer?!" he exclaimed again. 

"Yeah. you know, those who play with the dead, form an army of the dead, etc.." Ainz replied casually.
