Of being an Overlord

Laharl is still celebrating his new promotion and laughing constantly. Apparently, laughing is a big part of being Overlord. Flonne doesn't understand. Since Prince...ahem, King Laharl still hasn't done anything as ruler, Etna decides to give him his first task. She brings in a boy named Aramis. He wants us to find his pets. Laharl calls this beneath him, and Etna becomes stern and a bit scary. She will never recognize Laharl as Overlord unless he helps Aramis. As we make our way to the gate, we learn the Alternate Overlord from last night wasn't actually an Overlord but a regular guy from wherever he's from. ...totally normal. Also, Salamander's Breath has a lot of zombies.

Stage One has a lot of zombies. Etna infers Aramis' pets are zombies. She says that they might as well kill the zombies, seeing as they're already dead. This battlefield is one of the best in the game! The entire map gives a plus to both EXP and gold earned, so we'll be back here quite often to train once I get to some reincarnating. Some of your weaker characters will die, but the handful you care about can wipe up the zombies easily. Good luck, regardless, because the zombies have a painfully annoying move called Zombie Twister that does a lot of damage to everyone in a line. And it moves them, so you can't surround anyone.
Stage Two has more zombies. It also has an Enemy Defense +50% Crystal behind a group of zombies. Throw a few characters, and it's gonna take a few, or toss some zombies to clear a path and focus that down first. Once you do, I hope you have a good zombie killing strategy down because you're gonna need it! Before the fight starts, Etna scolds Laharl for being bored, and then she reveals some of her backstory with the King to Flonne. She was a lowly commoner in the Palace, and everyone would bully her. She had a pet once that the demons killed. As she sat there sobbing, King K helped her bury the pet and took her on a vassal. Etna has been loyal ever since, and that's why she wants Laharl to live up to his father's standards.
Stage Three has even more zombies! It also sucks. Half the field, where we start, has a Damage 20% and a Silence effect. Between the two halves is a green line that has a No Entry and Throwing effect. I sacrificed my ranged units to kill the nearest green crystal and then used Laharl as a martyr to kill the Damage one. Then I went weird. Once that's gone, the zombies will split up and come at us from either side. One side is further away, so make quick work of the ones closest. I killed most of the zombies but left a few alive because I wanted the big bonus. If you put a No Entry on a large area, characters can't move, giving a character time to set up the Geoboard. Eventually, I cleared the Geo Crystal board (by making everyth8ng green) and got easy free stuff. Regardless of how much time you waste, enjoy the affordable (by American standards) healthcare at the Netherworld Hospital.
Stage Four has, you guessed it, even more zombies! The team finally asked Aramis if it was okay to kill his pets to reassemble them later, and he said he's been doing it all along. This reminds Etna of her childhood, and Flonne asks if every demon does that. Laharl confirms that it's just those two. The spawn point is surrounded by two Geo Colors. One color boosts Attack and Defense, while the other debuffs them. Use the good ones to your advantage, and don't let the zombies use them. This is as straightforward as it gets today.
The Final Stage is opps all zombies and has Aramis pointing out his piece de resistance. Standing in the back is the ultimate zombie! It has the legs of the fastest runner in the Netherworld, the Body of Hercules, and the Brain of the Great Sage, Mahogany. And to top it all off, it has a Horse Wiener...
...

Make use of the green Defense Boosting Titles and hope the unique zombie with over 1000 HP doesn't lay waste to your backline. He will, but try to avoid that. After the battle, Aramis, who has been disrespectful this whole time, refers to Laharl as "Your Highness" and becomes like a typical vassal. Etna begins to see him a the rightful heir, but he's not there yet. Flonne is shocked by how much Laharl, and herself, have changed since she's been in Hell. It reaffirms her hope that demons and angels can be friends. You can try to steal the Horse Weiner (and the rest of the stuff) if you want to.
 
The next chapter skit has Etna hyping up the evil Prinnies. They don't know why until Etna reveals that the Prinnies can merge into a giant robot named Super Pringer X! The Prinnies can do that, obviously, but Etna decides she'll...something. Episode eight, Fairwell Pringer X, is tomorrow, though. And after that, it's reincarnation Pringer Z!
