Chapter 86 - Troublemaker

At the edge of the battlefield, Kazuma watched the battle between Chat Group members and their companions against the Goblin Emperor.

Kazuma felt frustrated that he couldn't make any contributions. After all, he wants the lottery ticket which is promised as long as one makes even a tiny contribution. The lottery is the only way for him to finally gain OP power.

He thought of using Megumin Explosion Magic to attack the Goblin Emperor because the contributions are counted in group instead of individual. Meaning, the contribution of his companions also count as his own.

"Tch! If only the useless goddess picks better skills than stupid party tricks." Thinking about it makes Kazuma want to kick Aqua back to heaven and demand a goddamn refund.

After calming his nerves, Kazuma stares at the Goblin Emperor and wonders if there's anything he could do to contribute. If aiding in combat. Only Megumin is reliable. Darkness is useless in both and sending her in is a quick way to send her back to the Cathedral.

"No. Wait." A brilliant idea suddenly flashes through his mind as he looks at his own hand.

While doing damage is impossible. Kazuma does have something that might be useful. Like let say if he can deprive the boss from his own weapon or armor. With the equipment given by Ainz, it's possible for him to approach the Boss and get into the range of his skill.

Without even hesitating any longer, Kazuma charged toward the Goblin Emperor with determination, surprising his companions when he suddenly left.

(Others PoV)

Rimuru, who was overseeing the battle while providing support to the Great Sage, was suddenly alerted about Kazuma.

Kazuma was excluded for a reason and Kirito too but the latter is too stubborn to listen. Like even right now, he is trying to run all the way from Akiba to Forever Fall. But regardless, Kazuma is excluded from this battle because he isn't strong enough to even survive a clash.

Rimuru wanted to stop Kazuma but when he looked at his face which was filled with unbending determination while running straight at the Raid Boss, Rimuru thought Kazuma might have a plan for doing so. After all, even Kazuma sometimes acts crazy and stupid. He isn't someone that would charge an enemy without a sound plan.

So, Rimuru waits and sees what Kazuma is up to. He told Shiroe to try to distract the Boss and open a window of opportunity for Kazuma to execute his plan.

When Kazuma is within range. He held his right arm out with his left hand supporting his other arm as light burst out from his clenched fist in all directions. "Steeaaaalllll!" He roared as he first opened up while blinding light poured out and caught everyone's attention.

When the light subsided. Kazuma is in his pose, thinking he successfully disarmed the Goblin Emperor as everyone stared at him.

"Guys. No need to look at me like that." Kazuma sighed and brushed his hair away before looking at everyone still staring at him with their jaw slacked.

Then Kazuma sensed something odd. The object in his hand felt more like a fabric than stone that the sword should be made out of. He should have stolen the sword right? Whenever he uses Steal, if the target is female, his skill will always guarantee to steal their underwear first. However, if the target is male, his Steal should work normally.

Then Kazuma heard an angry roar and the last thing he remembered was his hand holding a loincloth before he felt like his body was turned into meat paste.

Meanwhile back at the battlefield, the situation turns weird.

On one hand, Kazuma did help. He exposed a weak point they can take advantage of. But on another hand, the green anaconda is hanging free and it is very distracting especially on the female combatants as numerous complaints accompanied with 'Kyaa' were heard.

Rimuru felt like want to beat Kazuma until he is black and blue to make him do this.

"Everyone!" Rimuru called and attention was immediately on him. "Fuck!" He cursed with a hushed voice before he coughed and continued, "Resume you attack! Aim at the Goblin Emperor's weak point, his di— crotch!"

"No!" Yue backed out immediately and turned away in disgust while giving Rimuru a weird look for even suggesting such an order.

"Indeed. I would never allow my body which I had dedicated to Ainz-sama to be touched by such a vile thing." Albedo immediately pulls out along with Shalltear who show similar thoughts.

"A.True.Warrior.Will.Not.Resort.To.Underhanded.Method." Cocytus frowned.

"Wait! This is not the time for this!" Rimuru panicked and turned to Ainz who conveniently just happened to be casting Super Tier Magic and couldn't reply.

Meanwhile the enraged Boss starts decimating absolutely everything in its rage and kills off most players in Shiroe's group and only the Chat Group members and their companions are still alive minus Kazuma of course.

"Fuck! You better wash your neck and wait for me, Kazumaaaa!" Rimuru howled.

"Fuck! Kazumaaaa!"

Above the clouds, Morgan sighed and face palmed at the stupidity of the situation and reluctantly assisted.

Ray arrived just in time and looked at the state of the battle below and laughed.

"Kazuma and his ridiculous and comedic luck." Ray sighed and returned the loincloth to where it was supposed to.

"This is getting ridiculously long and the author gets tired of writing this stuff." He said before shapeshifting into his humanoid form and looked over to Morgan who looked back at him with a puzzled look. "Err. Don't mind my rambling. Anyway, wanna join the battle with me?"

Morgan would of course never turn down such an invitation and eagerly accept his hand before she was pulled along to the edge of the railing and fell down the sky before a dragon with shimmering blue scales burst out from a black portal below them and they landed perfectly behind the dragon. Then another portal opened up on the dragon where Freya exited eagerly to serve her master.

"Let's go." Ray said when the dragon approaches the ground. Freya and Morgan jump off the dragon's back.

Freya rushes up to the Goblin Emperor and engages in melee clashes while Morgan stays in distance, raining magecraft and especially debilitating curses which she is most proficient with, at the Goblin Emperor.

As for Ray, he summons creatures into battle as befitting his Class as Summoner.

With a snap of his finger, several creatures split off from his shadow and morphed into horrific creatures that are made up of shadow, vaguely aquatic and reptilian chimeric abomination without a head. Inside, on the place where the neck should be is two four lines that goes along the shoulders and the middle of its chest and back. When they open their jaws, their body splits open with numerous teeths and eyes lines the inside of the mouth.

The abominations can create tendrils from any part of their body and also secrets extremely corrosive mucus that is equally sticky. Once they latched to the Goblin Emperor, they will not let go as they quickly devour their prey. However, the Goblin Emperor isn't going to sit down and watch as it grabs those abominations and crush it with its fist, disregarding the corrosive blood that eats away its flesh.

"Well, I should have known grunts aren't worth using." Ray dismissed the grunt's death rather easily and summoned a stronger summon this time.

An equally gigantic creature with a humanoid body with an eye-less goat shaped skull covered with demonic red flesh. It has six claw-like hands with a human-like body but it ends at the abdomen as the rest of the lower body is a mass of hardened carapace-covered tendrils that floats from the ground.

The blind Eldritch Deity caught the Goblin Emperor and used two free hands to wrestle the stone slab sword out from it's hand before it stab two more arms into the Goblin Emperor as anchor while the other four arms and it's tentacles rip the Goblin Emperor open starting from tearing off its armor and then it's flesh and after that, it's guts.

The remaining Chat Group members took this opportunity given by Ray and rain down as much attack as possible with Morgan launching more powered down Rhongomyniad magecraft that didn't turn everything in 50 km radius into a scorched wasteland.

After almost 20 minutes later, with a total of 30 1% Rhongo, 8 Super Tier Magic and numerous big attacks from Rimuru, the Raid Boss is finally taken down with Ainz and Rimuru of course dominating the top contribution leaderboard since Ray and Morgan didn't count.

The Goblin King Return has officially ended and everyone is cleaning up the battlefield and resting. The celebration will take place tomorrow when everyone returns to Akiba after their overwhelmingly successful campaign against the Monster Horde.

Meanwhile, Kirito, two hours after the Boss had been defeated.

"What! I missed out the fight!" He said with disbelief and fell to his knee.

He rushed all the way from Akiba to Forever Fall on his bike, driving at breakneck speed in order to rejoin the battle only for it to have ended hours ago.

"This is unfair!!!" He shouted while punching the ground a few times.
