Ainz - Stilettos

Ainz stuck his staff into the ground, gripped two of the four stilettos at his hips, and drew them.

Ainz couldn’t do that odd stance—that crouching start—but with training, he had managed to acquire a similar running style. Like a loosed arrow, he whipped toward the martial king as fast as he could.

It was a short distance. But even though he covered that space in the blink of an eye, the martial king’s club came swinging after him. Due to the strength penalty, it was moving a bit slower than before, but it was still on a direct collision course.

Ainz couldn’t evade with the magnificent skill of that one woman. But there was something he could do that she couldn’t.

When he released the ability, the martial king froze for just a moment.

In that opening, Ainz closed the distance between them and thrust a stiletto into his right shoulder. He moved fast and used all the energy in his body, so it was like an arrow attack.

The attack back then had been able to dent the armor harder than adamantite that Ainz had crafted with magic. An equivalent attack now pierced the martial king’s armor, went through his skin, and stabbed a stiletto into his body.
