Overlord: I’ve Been Recruiting Followers in Another World

"Who among you wants to come with me to meet Renner?" Lakyus asked, her eyes sweeping over the faces of her Blue Rose teammates.

Gagaran casually pointed to herself with her thumb. "I'm not going. I'm going to the pub with Little One for a drink. You, the leader, will be the one to find out the details." Her voice was rough yet honest. Having said that, Gagaran swaggered out of the alley, like a boss leaving everything to luck, or more precisely, to Lakyus.

Evileye, beside her, nodded to Lakyus and the other two—the twins Tia and Tina—then followed in Gagaran's footsteps, her shadow barely visible. She also needed time to relax after the intensive training.

Lakyus offered a helpless smile. An old habit. But she had to admit, if they just wanted to understand the situation, they didn't need so many people. So, let Gagaran and the others relax.

"Tia, Tina, is there anything you want to do?" Lakyus looked at the twins, their voices nearly identical.

"NO." Tina replied briefly, with her characteristic flat expression.

"Alright, I'll just follow you, Ghost Boss." Tia, always a little more expressive, added, her tone cheerful.

"Alright, let's go." After confirming the twins' opinions, Lakyus led them both out of the alley and towards Re-Estize Palace. A new mission awaited.

At this moment, a man walking towards her from a distance caught Lakyus's attention. He appeared to be around forty years old, with neatly trimmed hair and beard, giving him a tidy and dignified impression. He wore a perfect black butler suit, but his body was exceptionally well-built, exuding hidden strength. If viewed from a mature woman's perspective, he was a very attractive man.

However, it wasn't his appearance that made Lakyus notice him. There was something else, something familiar yet strange, an aura that enveloped the man.

"Ghost Boss, what's wrong with you?" Tina beside her called out to Lakyus, interrupting her gaze towards the man. When she turned, she found that the man had disappeared from the bustling street, as if he had never been there.

Perhaps it was just my illusion, Lakyus thought, shaking her head slightly. This isn't E-Rantel, how could there be so many monsters roaming freely? She recalled Gagaran's earlier sigh about no monsters in the capital and smiled, dismissing the strange feeling. Her logical brain rejected the possibility.

On the outskirts of E-Rantel, the atmosphere was tense yet full of anticipation. After organizing the training for the followers who were now diligently honing their combat and magic skills, Kael brought Leinas, Enri, and Fluder to a separate open space. This area felt quieter, away from the bustling training troops.

"Next, I will use a very powerful magic. Pay close attention, and use the abilities I've given you to record it." Kael warned the three, his voice calm yet authoritative.

Ever since the innate ability copying magic was completed, he had ceaselessly practiced this magic. He not only copied two innate abilities, [Magic Learning Time Reduction] and [Magic Storage and Copying], from Cecilia and Evileye, he also copied them all to Leinas and the other two. An invaluable boon.

[Magic Learning Time Reduction] goes without saying, it can reduce magic profession advancement experience points by half. A shortcut to power for Magic Casters.

Evileye's [Magic Storage and Copying] ability, if used well, would be a very powerful killer. Its effect was that it could copy and store any magic—both experienced and observed—but only one spell at a time. Once stored, the spell could be released regardless of usage conditions such as mana cost, level, or class requirements.

Its function was similar to a magic scroll, but there were also several crucial differences. This meant that although the wielder of this superpower could release the magic they had stored, they had to bear the consequences of releasing the magic, such as spell feedback or mana drain. Additionally, the spell's power was determined by the magic's attributes itself and the user's level, it didn't mean the power when copied would be the same when released.

After hearing Kael's instructions, Leinas, Enri, and Fluder nodded. Fluder's face, in particular, radiated immense excitement. They all focused on Kael's actions, not wanting to miss the slightest detail.

Kael didn't delay. He immediately activated Super-Tier Magic: [Summon Heavenly Host]. A complex magical formation began to spread and surround the four individuals, bright golden light emanating from the ground.

"Oh!" Upon seeing the magic circles, Fluder, who was deeply obsessed with magic, trembled all over and nearly shouted in exhilaration. He knew this was magic beyond the scope of his understanding. However, he was afraid of disturbing Kael's control of the magic, so he immediately suppressed the sound and became utterly obsessed with observing the intricate magic patterns of the Super-Tier Magic, trying to comprehend every line and symbol.

Since there was no rush to use the spell's effect—Kael wanted them to witness the entire summoning process—he didn't use a gold hourglass item to cut short the activation time of [Summon Heavenly Host], but waited calmly in place, allowing the spell to develop.

Not long after, with the successful activation of the magic, an extreme holy light appeared in the sky, and six massive beams of light descended from the heavens, piercing through the clouds.

Within each column of light, six holy angels slowly emerged, their physiques majestic and exuding a powerful divine aura. They had lion-like faces, wore armor that glittered in the sunlight, held shields with fearsome eye patterns and javelins wreathed in fire in their hands, and possessed two pairs of wings that opened and closed around their bodies, radiating golden dust.

These were Guardian Cherubim, Level 89. They were excellent tanks and possessed strong detection abilities. If others used this Super-Tier Magic, it would be difficult for the Guardian Cherubim to reach such a high level. However, Kael was a Faith-Based Magic Caster who specialized in Divine Attributes. Summoning angels was his primary specialization, and he could easily reach the maximum summoning limit.

"Did you all write everything down?" After the magic was successfully cast, Kael turned to look at Leinas and the other two beside him. He nodded with satisfaction after all three gave affirmative answers, their faces filled with expressions of awe.

At this moment, Enri was briefly distracted by another magic message, and then reported a piece of news to Kael.

"Yes God, Master Quaiesse of the Slane Theocracy has requested to meet with you. He said that the supplies needed by the Slane Theocracy to exchange for the Sunshine Scripture have been delivered."

"Oh?" Kael was surprised for a moment, an eyebrow raising. He had forgotten about the exchange. But after calculating the time, it seemed to be almost on schedule. "Alright, have the people at the garrison send them here."

"Okay." After receiving the command, Enri immediately conveyed Kael's intention to the person who called her.

Soon, Quaiesse and his two companions—a powerful magician known as [Infinite Magic] and a formidable warrior dubbed [Strongest Human]—appeared before Kael and the others. They were the strongest agents of the Slane Theocracy, an organization that considered humans the supreme race.

Fifth Tier Magic [Teleportation] was a rare spell that few could master in the New World. This was the first time Quaiesse and his companions had experienced this miraculous magic. Upon landing, they looked around curiously, their eyes widening at the training sight before them.

They saw three legendary knights—Emilia, Carloen, and Lancelot—slaughtering demons not far away, their movements like a destructive storm. They were shocked and restrained their movements, sensing an extraordinary powerhouse aura. Immediately, they bowed respectfully to Kael, a gesture compelled by awe and a hint of fear. "Your Excellency, the great God of Destiny, we extend our sincere greetings to you!"

As expected of a deceiver from the Church, he always speaks sweetly, Kael thought, a faint smile on his lips. He let them remain in their misunderstanding. He gestured for the three of them to stand. "Rise."

"Thank you, Your Excellency!" Quaiesse thanked Kael, then stood and reported: "Your Excellency, the compensation that our country used to exchange for the freedom of all members of the Sunshine Scripture has been deposited at your church headquarters. You can count it later."

"No need, I believe you wouldn't be foolish in such a matter." Kael waved his hand generously, showing absolute confidence. They wouldn't dare to deceive him.

"Thank you for your trust in us." Quaiesse offered a cunning smile, an expression of relief mixed with deception. He then asked, "Then, Your Excellency, can we take the members of the Sunshine Scripture away today? There are still some matters in the country that require their assistance. The High Priest hopes they can return home as soon as possible."

"Alright, about this..." A mischievous smile suddenly appeared on Kael's face, an expression that gave Quaiesse a bad feeling.

Quaiesse suddenly felt something was wrong. His heart pounded, a discomfort flashing through his mind.

But before he could open his mouth, Kael took something from his spatial backpack and threw it directly towards him.

Quaiesse immediately caught it with the reflex of an experienced warrior and examined it more closely. He found that it was a thick, leather-bound book, which also vaguely radiated powerful magical fluctuations. Clearly, this was no ordinary object. This was a high-tier magic item.
