The Judgment of Blood

First Round

THE JUDGMENT OF BLOOD

The continent's borders have fallen. Encircled by the unending legions of the Sorcerer Kingdom, humanity stood on the precipice of utter annihilation. Yet, in a grand display of absolute sovereignty, the Sorcerer King Ainz Ooal Gown chose to turn the fate of the world into a public spectacle: The Judgment of Blood.

The terms are as unforgiving as the soil of the Katze Plains:

7 Victories for Humanity: Nazarick permanently retreats and grants an unconditional peace treaty.

7 Victories for Nazarick: The total surrender and irrevocable annexation of every human nation.

High above, colossal scrying mirrors project every fraction of a second across the skies and public squares of every city on the continent. Tens of millions watch in paralyzed silence. Kings and heroes tremble in the stands. Perched within the imperial box, the Sovereign of Death and his Floor Guardians look on with cold detachment.

ROUND 1

Shalltear Bloodfallen

To inaugurate the tournament, Nazarick has dispatched its most formidable one-on-one combatant: the Guardian of the First through Third Floors, Shalltear Bloodfallen.

Behind the delicate facade of an aristocratic maiden in a Victorian gown and lace parasol lurks the Tomb’s most voracious predator. Plagued by lingering shame over a past failure and desperate to redeem her honor in the eyes of her beloved Lord Ainz, she does not merely seek victory, she seeks a flawless slaughter to present as a devout offering.

The Weight of the First Step

The northern gate has just begun to rise.

Between the damp shadows of the tunnel and the pale glare of the colosseum, you stand. Whether you are the greatest warrior this realm has ever forged, a solitary sorcerer, an anomaly from distant lands, or simply someone who refuses to bend the knee, the survival of humanity hinges upon your very first strike.

"Yeah, we got the talk, the script, the think. Don't even mind about tossing us in the sink. 知識 求めて 戦え. 終わり なき 夢 みたい. Ja-jamais je ne cacherai le savoir. Es por la ciencia que la humanidad avanzará. Im Laufe der Zeit. Andremo avanti. Pois a humanidade. Sempre, sempre avançará! No! Not, non, nein. Not, non, nein. Hear the humankind! Sing! We shall rise above the gods (gods). We shall rise above the. Gods don't care about your will, so. Fight! We are out of time. To hear. The hymn of humankind!"
