Ainz - Touch of Undeath and Paralysis

“Then I’ll start. Touch of Undeath.”

“What kind of spell is that? Arché!”

“I don’t know! I’ve never heard of it!”

With a watchful eye on the black haze enveloping Ainz’s righthand, the unknown magic, Hekkeran tensed his feet so he could dodge at a moment’s notice. His teammates behind him seemed to be spreading out, wary of an area-of-effect attack.

“Does it hurt? Don’t worry. I won’t kill you now. This is the most pity I can take on thieves—Paralysis.”

His body froze. No, he wasn’t frozen but paralyzed.

“Maybe Touch of Undeath was a waste if I was only going to paralyze him?”

Hekkeran’s ears picked up sounds in vain.

He heard a series of bow twangs.

The response was a ridiculing voice. “How many times do I have to tell you...? No, it’s fine, you can resist. You’ll feel more helpless that way.”

Run!

His mouth wouldn’t move, but it trembled.
