Ainz - Ducks Evil Lord's Punch

The Evil Lord Wrath had come within hand-to-hand distance and was winding up for a full-powered punch.

Shit! I hate when they just get in close and hit me! If you’re here as a stand-in for Narberal, you should be using magic, Gorillal!

Well, if he did use magic, it would all be completely blocked, so that would be sort of boring…

Without hesitating, Ainz charged forward to close the gap entirely.

The evil lord reacted slowly, probably because he had expected him to run away. The idea had most likely been to pincer him in coordination with Yuri.

And that was why Ainz was able to duck under the blow (intended as a feint) from the demon’s great fiery arm.

The arm went past his ear with surprising speed, and the wind it whipped up sounded like a scream.

A pure caster had dodged a warrior monster’s attack.

He wondered if he could have pulled that off in Yggdrasil, but this wasn’t luck. As previously mentioned, the evil lord didn’t expect Ainz to come forward, so he hadn’t put all his strength behind the blow. And the other reason was Ainz had trained.
