Episode 4 of Overlord Season 3 begins with Beta being reprimanded for failing to report on the Giant and the Serpent of the East and West. However, it quickly becomes clear in the episode that these creatures are not as great a threat as their titles suggest, especially when compared to the abilities of the characters from Nazarick.
Ainz, accompanied by Aura, visits the cave of the Giant and the Serpent to assess the situation firsthand. Aura, whom Ainz worries isn’t eating enough, joins him on this endeavor. The encounter with these creatures proves less challenging than expected. The so-called "Giant" turns out to be a mere troll, and the "Demon Serpent" is an elderly naga—both far less terrifying than their reputations imply.
During their encounter, Ainz employs a Despair Aura spell, which easily incapacitates the troll and its companions. In contrast, the naga recognizes the futility of resisting or fleeing against Ainz’s overwhelming power and willingly submits to him. This interaction highlights the disparity in strength between Ainz and the creatures, further emphasizing his dominance.
Meanwhile, Ainz assigns Beta a new mission: to protect three specific individuals in Carne Village—Nphirea, Enri, and Lizzy. It’s notable that Ainz shows no concern for the rest of the village, suggesting he only cares for the well-being of those he values. This task serves as both a mission and a test for Beta.
The episode ends without major developments, indicating a more gradual progression of the plot. The focus shifts to Beta’s upcoming mission in Carne Village, raising questions about how she will handle the responsibility and what challenges may arise from this assignment.
