- “Eaaagggghhhhhh!” Driven mad by the ineffectiveness of their magic, one of his men took out a slingshot and, emitting a strange scream, launched a pellet. Nigun wondered what effect that could possibly have against a guy who was fine being run through with two angel swords, but he didn’t stop him.
- The heavy iron pellet flew straight toward Ainz with enough destructive force to easily break a human’s bones.
