Overlord Manga Chapter 74

This is the seventy-fourth chapter of the Overlord Manga.
== Summary ==
Nimble Arc Dale Anoch and the knights of the Imperial Army are left in disbelief at the sight of an entire wing of the Royal Army laying dead on the Katze Plains before them. For such casualties against the Royal Army, which has far larger numbers than that of the Baharuth Empire, it is absurd that it all happened in an instant, and yet that is the reality. Nimble is gripped with not just the fear of such power but is horrified that even after killing so many, Ainz Ooal Gown is so calm making him wonder just how monstrous the magic caster truly is. Whilst he silently questions how such a monster can exist in the world, his silence is noted by Ainz. To hide his fear, Nimble quickly claims that he was in awe of the magic that the Sorcerer King displayed. This earns his a laugh from Ainz who informs the Imperial Knight that this was only the beginning of his spell. 
A giant black sphere appears above the two armies in the skies. Whilst observing the spectacle, Ainz alongside Mare Bello Fiore states that this is a reciprocation of Shub-Niggurath, for his offering in exchange for her children. The sphere descends onto the battlefield of the dead, breaking apart as soon as it touches the ground. Black asphalt-like liquid spills from it, swallowing up the corpses and then growing into trees birthing five monstrous creature bleating goat-like sounds which are identified as Dark Young. Unperturbed by the horrifying sight of the monsters, Ainz is thrilled at the number of Dark Young he summoned, calling it a new record, offering his thanks to the decease who made this feat possible. He is congratulated by Mare, which Nimble mimics out of fear. Unaware that the knights of the Imperial Army are trembling in fear of Ainz's magic, the Overlord is confident that his display has shown the nations his might. Ainz then gives a command to the Dark Young to run over the Royal Army. Though he gives the monsters orders to not kill four specific individuals. 
On the other side of the battlefield, the soldiers of the Re-Estize Kingdom are all in disbelief at the sight of the creatures thinking its all a dream. The closer the monster approach, the soldiers muster enough courage to raise their spears in defense. It proved useless as they are summarily trampled by the hooves of the Dark Young. The sight and sound of the carnage is witnessed by Nimble and the knights of the Empire who look on in terror, pitying the fate of the soldiers being slaughtered. One word is described: a massacre. 
Ainz Ooal Gown then removes his mask, revealing his skeletal visage and his identity as an undead to Nimble. Spreading his arms out, the Sorcerer King calls for an applause of his supreme power.
