- “—That is fine, Stronoff-dono. I don’t mind taking you two on at once.”
- “Please don’t, Sorcerer King-dono. This duel is with me. You two, stay out of it.”
- The pinpoints of red light floating in Ainz’s skeletal eye sockets glowed even
- brighter.
- “…I see. I’ve seen those eyes before. They are the eyes of a man who has embraced his death and advances anyway. Firm, unyielding eyes. I admire them.”
- Ainz was speaking like a human being.
- “Very well. I accept your proposal. I will duel (PVP) Stronoff-dono.”
- [...]
- “Stronoff-dono. How much of this sword’s power do you know?”
- “I fully understand it. This sword has an unreal sharpness that can cut metal like paper.”
- “Incorrect. That is only a fraction of the sword’s power.”
- “—What? What do you mean, Sorcerer King-dono?”
- “Well, in short, this sword is a weapon that can kill me. Something like that is the absolute minimum condition for a duel. Without a weapon that can harm me, this would be nothing more than an execution.”
- “Sorry for comparing you to the rats that entered my fortress.” Ainz muttered as he suddenly produced a shortsword out of thin air.
- Without hesitation, he dragged the edge of the gleaming blade across his face in a forceful slice.
- However, it did not leave so much as a scratch.
- “Weakly enchanted objects like this cannot harm this body of mine.
- Incidentally, this shortsword is imbued with about as much data — or rather, as much mana — as that sword you bear, Stronoff-dono. However, your sword can harm me, in clear defiance of what I know to be true. Could I request that sword after I win?”
- Gazef smiled thinly.
- “Forgive me for refusing, but this sword is a national treasure.”
- “Mm. PVP under the pretext of returning dropped items, then? Very well.”
- [...]
- Climb raised the bell. He could only pray that victory went to Gazef.
- And then — louder than expected — the bell rang.
- His consciousness focused to the absolute limit, Gazef stepped in with an
- unbelievable speed—
- Without missing a single moment, Brain and Climb opened their eyes and
- watched—
- —And before any of them, the world went quiet.
- “I see… so time-stop countermeasures are important, after all.”
- Because Ainz had instantly cast a [Silent Magic – Time Stop], Gazef was
- frozen in front of Ainz, his sword raised high.
- - Overlord; Vol 9; Chapter 4
