Ch. 76The Vampiric Dragon Lord's Tragedy (Third update, thanks to Cookie na for becoming a patron)

The Vampiric Dragon Lord broke free of its seal and unleashed Soul-Erosion across the Katze Plains, but Mammon shielded the human stronghold while Hervor and Lucifer attacked the dragon. As Lucifer prepared to finish it, a massive Corpse Dragon appeared and fired Soul-Extinguishing Breath at her.

  • The Vampiric Dragon Lord emerged from Cat Castle and used Soul-Erosion across the Katze Plains, threatening the humans and stirring the undead.
  • Mammon activated the World Item Sighing Bulwark to protect the human stronghold, and Roy ordered his forces to eliminate the Vampiric Dragon Lord.
  • Hervor struck the Vampiric Dragon Lord with World-Splitting Sword, but its body healed using its Blood Pool.
  • Lucifer caught the dragon's tail and battered it with Divine Judgment, leaving it near death despite its attempt to use Bloodlust.
  • As Lucifer prepared to deliver the final blow with the Sword of Dawn, a massive Corpse Dragon emerged from Cat Castle and attacked her with Soul-Extinguishing Breath.

Ch. 77The most dangerous of the True Dragon Lords (first update)

Lucifer stopped the Elder Coffin Dragon Lord’s modified Soul-Extinguishing Breath while Eve’s forces captured the Vampiric Dragon Lord. The Elder Coffin Dragon Lord tried to escape, but Kagura Inori intercepted him and challenged him to fight without magic.

  • The Elder Coffin Dragon Lord attacked Lucifer with his modified Soul-Extinguishing Breath, but she split it with the Sword of Dawn.
  • Eve told Lucifer to conserve her strength for the Space Dragon and revealed that the Valkyries and Governors had captured the Vampiric Dragon Lord.
  • Sharan discovered the Elder Coffin Dragon Lord’s magic secret, allowing Serrket and Lilith to use their World Items together to bind the Vampiric Dragon Lord.
  • The Elder Coffin Dragon Lord feigned a desperate attack, abandoned his zombie armor, and tried to escape underground with World Transmission.
  • Kagura Inori stopped the Elder Coffin Dragon Lord’s escape and challenged him to a fair fight without magic.

Ch. 78The Fair Arena Was Very Fair (Second update)

Kagura Inori trapped the Elder Coffin Dragon Lord in the Fair Arena and defeated him through a brutal, deliberately unequal melee fight. After Eve confirmed the Space Dragon would not rescue him and the other battlefields were clear, Kagura Inori sent him to the Prison as World City won the battle.

  • Sharan explained that the Elder Coffin Dragon Lord had lost his connection to the source, making him vulnerable to the Core of the Tower of Babel’s linguistic contamination.
  • The Elder Coffin Dragon Lord’s Modified Soul-Extinguishing Breath failed, and his Dragon Breath could not stop Kagura Inori from trapping them in the Fair Arena.
  • Kagura Inori stripped away their racial strength and battered the Elder Coffin Dragon Lord, then restored their strength while making him far more sensitive to pain.
  • After a thousand punches, the Elder Coffin Dragon Lord begged Kagura Inori to kill him, but she said he would face punishment in the Prison.
  • Eve told Kagura Inori the Space Dragon would not rescue the Elder Coffin Dragon Lord and that the other battlefields were cleared; Kagura Inori sent him to the Prison as World City won the battle.

Ch. 79Postwar Calculations, Plans for the Intelligence War, and a Hero's Entrance onto History's Stage (Third Update)

Roy and Eve secured the Dragon Lords and shaped the evidence of the Katze Plains battle to mislead the Great Tomb of Nazarick, while Ainz’s forces investigated the staged account. Roy then returned to the Royal Capital and publicly defeated the Abyssal Ruler as the hero who stopped Demon Emperor Jaldabaoth.

  • Roy agreed to let Sharan study Wild Magic by acquiring classes such as [World Connector], while Eve explained how she had falsified the battle’s traces and intelligence for Nazarick.
  • Demiurge subdued the inactive Platinum Armor and warned Ainz that its controller might have been killed or captured; Ainz ordered an investigation of the Katze Plains and told Demiurge to withdraw.
  • Nigredo used Ainz’s intelligence scrolls to pierce Eve’s defenses and reported that the Dragon Slaying Cult was fighting a Vampiric Dragon Lord on the Katze Plains.
  • Ainz ordered Nazarick to maintain friendly relations with the Dragon Slaying Cult and send Mercenary Monsters to investigate the plains.
  • Roy returned to the Royal Capital, proclaimed that he would stop Demon Emperor Jaldabaoth, and tore off the Abyssal Ruler’s head before the witnesses.
