Chapter 6: The Pillars Of Nazarick

"Brothers, Legere, Flourish, Corvus, be sure to bring glory to your names; and to the Supreme Beings." The masked skeleton said.

The skeletons proceeded back to their seats and the meeting continued as before.

"Brothers, today I shall announce the Outer Pillars Of Nazarick!"

The skeletons started to shout the names of the the Pillars.

"Hammerfist The Crusher, 41st Outer Pillar Of Nazarick!"

Half an hour later:

"Skullbane The Head Cracker, First Outer Pillar Of Nazarick!"

The names had all been called out, the 41 Outer Pillars Of Nazarick has been officially formed. The member made up of some of the strongest brothers that the tomb had to offer. But this force of skeletons was still a pitifully weak army before the Supreme Beings.

"Now then, Brothers. Here are the Inner Pillars Of Nazarick." The masked skeleton announced.

"Each Inner Pillar shall be in charge of one ninth of the tomb. These Inner Pillars represent the divine story of 'The Nine's Own Goal'. This organisation was the predecessor of Ainz Ooal Gown. For those brothers who do not know, Ainz Ooal Gown is the name of the grand organisation created by The Supreme Beings."

"So therefore there are 9 Inner Pillars because of the predecessor organisation, and 41 Outer Pillars for the 41 Supreme Beings."

"Today we will announce only 2 of them."

"Necrosis The Fist Of Death, First Inner Pillar Of Nazarick!" The masked skeleton finally stood up.

The masked skeleton was actually the strongest of all the brothers.

"Doorman The Iron Wall, 2nd Inner Pillar Of Nazarick!"

"The 7 remaining brothers will have been assigned to train the younger brothers, I am sincerely sorry that you didn't receive a title today."

The first 2 Inner Pillars we're finally announced, everyone clapped their skeletal hands and cheered for the two strongest brothers. The newly ordained Corvus had finally receive his own name, what a joyous occasion.

"I have a mission to give!" Necrosis announced.

"Outer Pillars 1-12 have been assigned to an important mission!" Doorman also shouted.

Everyone turned silent and waited for the commanding brothers to give their commands.

"The tomb raiders from last week belonged to a larger organisation, intelligence reports that the organisation is planning one attacking the tomb yet again. We will be sending you out on a very dangerous mission, but we trust you enough to deal with this threat. The commanding Brother will be Doorman, follow his orders without question."

The 12 Pillars faced their commander, awaiting their orders as everyone else left the room.

"Brothers, the invading forces will be arriving at a nearby clearing tommorrow. The scout has confirmed that these enemies number at 50. It is suspect that the enemy forces includes a level 45 experienced hero. Judging from the size and power of the force, they are their main attack force. Remember, brothers, with this battle; we will enter into this new world as the Skeleton Brotherhood Of Nazarick. Bring honour to the Supreme Beings and do not let a single brother fall!"

The meeting officially ended with those words. Corvus left the room and went back into the endless hallways.

The hallways were just as endless as it had been since Corvus' birth. The illusion of infinity was prevalent in almost every area of the tomb. Corvus got used to the mundane walks and eventually grew to enjoy them, for it was a gift from his creators; The Supreme Beings. Corvus never personally knew Them, but he worshipped them like all of his brothers did. They cared enough about him that They provided the holy relic to sustain the tomb. The tomb is a holy place for skeletons, so they will defend it with all of their might.

"Brothers, I will not let out tomb fall." Corvus spoke to himself.

Corvus finally arrived at his destination: The prison. The prison contained a few looters that had been caught as they stole from the holy grounds. There is no foreign policy for the tomb, and there is no rule on executions, thieves are to be killed.

The skeleton entered the room, it contained 5 men tied to their own wooden poles. Corvus looked to the one on the far right, a muscular man with a few bruises and cuts. The man had already been stripped of his armor and weapons.

The skeleton drew his sword, a red longsword which was forged from his own will using an ability unique to the undead. The skeleton walked up to the captive.

"Humans, you have entered this holy ground and desecrated it with your presence. I hereby sentence you all to death." Corvus spoke.

"Please, we only came here because we do not have much. We also need to survive! Hoarding all of these treasures, selfish! You are all dead anyways, what use are these treasures-"

CHOP

"BLASTHEMY!"

The man's head fell to the ground, his ideals were based on taking what was not his, so he cannot call himself a benevolent soul.

"To steal from The Supreme Beings, you must be looking for death."

CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP

"Fools, you should have just left the Holy Grounds alone."

Corvus proceeded to consume the souls of the dead prisoners.

"It seems that these souls are not strong enough to help me progress by much. I hope the invaders can provide me with sufficient food." Corvus said to himself.

The incoming threat of an invasion put the tomb on edge. The tomb has faced weak forces, but never a force containing a being that could rival one of their leaders. Sending only 13 Brothers may seem like an overconfident decision, but the tomb needs to prove that its warriors are much more masterful than others. With this battle, the tomb will officially enter the New World.
