Fast forward to April 2019 when Maruyama released a bonus Overlord book called The Vampire Princess of the Lost Country (Bokoku no Kyuketsu-hime). The novel is a side story focused on an alternate timeline for Ainz/Momonga’s story. PDL, in some manner, is playing a role in the Elf-Theocracy war, perhaps he will allow the Theocracy to field Zesshi? The good news is that the wait for the Overlord Volume 16 release date was much shorter since it came out a mere month later. Could this now be the elven twin's turn to become heroes in the Elf Country as they thwart the Slane Theocracy's advance? They might be sent into the frontlines to lead the war against the Theocracy, and many might believe them to be the Elf King's children (I don't know if Ainz would ever make public the distinction, however), while he is sealed off in his palace, leaving the kingdom to his "progeny" or "relatives"(?). Perhaps after this story arc they may be viewed warmly by the elves, thus allowing Ainz's future rule of the region to be conducted smoothly by allowing Aura and Mare to be it's vassal rulers. catches up with the progress they made in several development he is shown by Aura around how the inner village they have established within the floor is progressing including several updates on both already

But, she had been thinking about what sort of excuse to make just before she came here. Even though their master was wiser than her, she believed that with enough time spent, her plans could rival even him. Both the Overlord Subreddit and the Discord have done their own translations of the Overlord V15 summary. Here it is (for those who haven't seen it yet, of course):When the Overlord Season 4 anime TV series was announced, the team also confirmed that the next Overlord sequel would be an Overlord movie that covers the Holy Kingdom story arc. The Sorcerer Kingdom's expansionist policy has alienated them from the Argland Council State (whose heads tried to assassinate Ainz) and Blue Rose, who are probably on their way to Evileye's destroyed home city. By guiding that power into the weapon once held by a God, she could use the greatest power wielded by the God of Death, Surshana. And so— After the atmoshphere has been set, he ask the elf in regards to their homeleand and more specifically about any dark elfs that might be present. Their knowledge is very limited outside of the affairs from their village so they don't provide much useful information, they do speak about dark elves supposed to have lived in the further outskirts of the forest they came from. In regards to their efforts he asks them what Zesshi might be sent to take out the Elf King, who had raped her mother. She'll most likely try to accomplish this task eagerly, but it remains to be seen if she will really take him out and whether she will defect to Ainz (as many Overlord fans hope for some reason).

The Overlord Reddit and Discord are the ONLY places you can trust to provide the correct link to Hitori's translations. During the time the Sorcerer Kingdom Representatives visit, the Slain Theocracy launches a big offensive. The twins, who were inspired by Ainz's wisdom run through the Sea of Trees endlessly." If you see other people posting Volume 15 translations as their own and attempting to monetize them, there is a serious possibility that they have stolen Hitori's work and are trying to make a profit out of it.

If you see other people posting Volume 15's translation as their own, there is a huge possibility that they just stole Hitori's work and probably are making profit out ot it. If I had to say how I feel about Volume 15/16 then I'd say that I'm not as impressed as I wanted it to be. It's still good, but the amount of hype put into Volume 17 should be about the downfall of the Slane Theocracy now that Ainz found out they were the ones that brainwashed Shalltear after capturing Zesshi and Albedo got the shit scared out of her thinking that Ainz found out about her plans while having blasphemous thoughts. Japanese publisher Enterbrain released Overlord Volume 14: The Witch of the Falling Kingdom on March 12, 2020. Even though ending with Overlord Volume 18 is now the current plan, this ending is still years off in the future since Maruyama has two more novels to complete so the author’s plans could change again in the meantime.

Around the same time, Ainz travels to the Elven Kingdom with the twins, for A vacation meant to help Aura and Mare make friends. The Overlord Volume 15 release date was originally planned for Spring 2021 but then was delayed for over a year. But it seems that the length of the story was a major factor. Concerned about the rapid expansion of the Sorcerer Kingdom, the Leaders of the Slain Theocracy decided to overthrow the Elven Kingdom. Unfortunately, the author didn’t reveal the Overlord Volume 17 release date. Instead, he teased that the wait could be long.The Volume was slated for release in Spring 2021 but it never came during that period likely due to the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic which affected Maruyama's travel to a café where he normally wrote Overlord. Because of the Sorcerer Kingdom's annihilation of the Re-Estize Kingdom, every other nation will line up at attention, as per the Candy & Whip strategy. The Slane Theocracy will probably use the new adventurers they acquired before Re-Estize's fall to perform a blitzkrieg-like offensive against the elves. It was confirmed that the story arc would be spilt into two volumes in a tweet released by Maruyama on March 12, 2022.

That means that the Overlord Season 5 anime TV show should adapt Volume 14: The Witch of the Falling Kingdom and Volumes 15 and 16: The Half Elf God-kin. But by May 2016 he tweetedout that he was planning on ending with Overlord Volume 18. Three years later, this plan began to change. After returning to place the treasures left behind by his father,he informs the mother of the one who boar his child and told her she had died and allows her a chance to make amends Her Talent is pretty broken though. If I'm interpreting this right she should be able to use the strongest ability of the previous owner of her weapon, in this case being [Charon’s Guidance], which allows her to use [TGoALiD] which confirms that Surshana is like Ainz who has the Eclipse job. In that case we might be able to see Ainz being able to use [World Break] or [Grand Catastrophe] if he steals that Talent from her.This has left me wondering, Will Aura and Mare gain character development that deviates from their NPC settings? If we consider past situations, such as Cocytus left to conquer the Lizardmen tribes, Shalltear to ̶c̶o̶m̶m̶i̶t̶ ̶g̶e̶n̶o̶c̶i̶d̶e̶ trim down the Quagoa population (and allowed for her to redeem herself), Demiurge to lead the Demihumans against the Holy Kingdom, Albedo to act as an ambassador to the late Re-Estize Kingdom, and Pandora's Actor to gain intel against PDL while in combat, we can see that Ainz has (maybe not purposefully) given the Guardians ways to gain experience in the New World. At the time, Maruyama didn’t explain is how this major change to Overlord Volume 15 impacted his plans for the Overlord light novels’ ending. It wasn’t until the end of July 2022 that he confirmed that Overlord Volume 18 will now contain the ending. Neia and her followers, or the "Cult of the Faceless One", will spread their ideology to nearby nations as suggested in the side story. It'll most definitely become a major religion for a while.
