Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Me, Turned into a Little Skeleton

Okay, let's calm down, Elizabeth, and analyze the current situation first.

First of all, it seems that God ultimately obeyed his own last wish and did indeed allow him to travel through time, and he did indeed travel to the world of Overlord.

This was already an extraordinary event for Elizabeth; she was so happy to finally meet her favorite Anko-sama!

Moreover, the God was very considerate and directly let Elizabeth travel to Anzi's side. Now Anzi is right next to Elizabeth!

Are you happy or not? Are you joyful or not?

Hmm... if it weren't for the countless little skulls piled up on top of Elizabeth, she would definitely be quite happy.

That's right, although I did travel through time, and even traveled to the world of Overlord, and ended up by Lord Anko's side.

But right now, Elizabeth is a little skeleton, and she's being used as a stepping stone by Lord Anko, which is fine too!

The worst part is that Elizabeth was on the very bottom layer. She knew that Lord Anko was about to step on her, but she couldn't actually see Lord Anko. This god's personality is really awful!

Since I've already been allowed to travel through time, I might as well go all out and give myself an incredibly powerful identity.

For example, why not just cast a meteor shower right from the start and instantly reach level 310, or give yourself an incredibly overpowered cheat?

For example, you could give me a magic phone or a holy sword that can perform combos and cleave attacks with normal attacks!

Even if I absolutely have to become a non-human character, I could at least become the slime from next door. Why am I a little skeleton?

Elizabeth is quite depressed right now.

This scene must be the one my classmates were talking about this morning regarding the second season of the anime!

The steps made of a pile of small skulls were a scene that Eliza herself quite liked.

When watching the anime, Elizabeth almost got wet as she watched Anko-sama climb the steps made of little skulls.

Now, Elizabeth doesn't mind being used as a stepping stone for Anko to step on, but being at the very bottom and not being able to see Lord Anko at all is absolutely unacceptable!

Uh... based on what happens next, after showing off in front of the lizardmen, Lord Anzi opened a portal and left, leaving only Lord Cocytus to teach the lizardmen a lesson.

Neither the animation nor the novel explained what would happen to the bunch of little skeletons on the steps in the end, right? At this moment, Elizabeth racked her brains, even though she was being pressed down by a bunch of other little skeletons.

Although I was pressed to the bottom, I couldn't feel any weight at all... no, I should say I couldn't feel anything at all!

Even though I was pressed to the bottom with my hands and feet pressed against the ice, I couldn't feel the cold at all, nor could I smell the earth. I could see, though, meaning that apart from sight, I had no sense of touch or smell.

His hearing is still normal; he can hear the sound of the cold wind blowing and can clearly hear Lord Anzi's voice.

After all, these are just little skeletons created by Lord Anzi with a casual wave of his hand. For cannon fodder, hearing and sight are basically enough.

Huh? Wait a minute! That's right! I'm a skeleton created by Lord Anzi! According to the novel's setting, these free-summoned skeletons can't last long at all, which means I'll disappear soon.

"This...this won't do!" Elizabeth exclaimed anxiously.

Elizabeth wasn't worried about her own existence disappearing, but rather about how she had finally managed to transmigrate to the world of Overlord.

It would be absolutely outrageous if someone disappeared without ever meeting, speaking, or even "licking" someone's boots!

So… I must! I must at least see Lord Anko! Elizabeth thought to herself.

At this moment, Lord Anzi finished speaking, opened a portal, and left. The little skeletons piled on him also withdrew and lined up in a row. Elizabeth followed suit, lining up with the little skeletons, and then they all left together.

However, having just transmigrated and lacking various senses, using this body was still too strenuous for Elizabeth. Although she could barely keep up with the other little skeletons, Elizabeth stood out conspicuously compared to the other little skeletons who moved in unison.

Thank goodness the guardians are gone, otherwise they would definitely have been discovered!

Although Elizabeth was aware of this and tried her best to act convincingly, it wasn't something that could be easily adapted to using an unfamiliar body.

And so… the Death Knight, who was standing nearby, noticed something amiss and immediately turned his attention to Elizabeth.

Although I no longer have any senses, I am exceptionally sensitive to killing intent. As expected of Lord Anzi, even the little skeletons that he summons with a casual wave of his hand can be so sensitive to killing intent!

Now is not the time for lamenting! The death knight who had his sights set on him was already walking towards him—no! He was charging straight at him with his eyes glowing red!

It wasn't enough that the Death Knight had his eye on him! This disturbance from the Death Knight had also caught the attention of Yuri, the eldest sister of the Pleiades!

What should we do?

According to the setting, the little skeleton that Lord Anzi personally threw out was probably around level 20, which was a bit of a stretch against a death knight of around level 35.

But if you want to escape, you should still be able to, right?

Probably... but if Yuri-nee also has her eye on things, then it's a sure thing no matter how you look at it, we're doomed!

Oh... I've already died once, death doesn't matter! The key is that I can't die without seeing Lord Anko, that's absolutely unacceptable!

What should we do then?

Yuri is coming this way too! Run!! Completely disoriented, Eliza broke away from the group and ran for her life. There was no point in continuing to pretend; she might as well take a gamble…

Then... Yuri was straddling Elizabeth in a riding position, and her fist stopped just one centimeter away from Elizabeth's head...

Well... it's obvious that Elizabeth is completely unaware of her own skeletal body. Just as she was about to run away, she was tackled to the ground by Yuri with lightning speed.

As expected of someone with an extremely high level of combat skill, he raised his fist and punched down directly at the skull head in front of him.

Although Elizabeth considered herself a fairly strong person, even the most resilient person would instinctively feel fear when faced with Yuri's fist, as big as a clay pot, coming straight at her head.

Elizabeth instinctively reached out her hand, like a girl, and covered her skull with it, closing her eyes and trembling uncontrollably.

Although skeletons don't have eyes!

However, Yuri's fist didn't come down. Only then did Eliza open her eyes, only to see Yuri still in the same position as if she was about to smash Eliza's head off, asking:

"Who exactly are you?"
