Are you serious?
Of course.
You will die.
I will definitely die.
What are you thinking?
You know your defeat is a forgone conclusion.
The enemy king is right before me, within the distance of my sword.
Is this not the natural flow of events?
True, we are physically close. However...
You can't even respond to its movements.
There is a devastating difference here.
Even so, you believe there is a chance of winning?
Perhaps, Master Gown.
Did you get cocky after I said I wouldn't kill you?
Not even in the slightest.
I merely wish to fulfill my duty as the head warrior of this country. That's all.
If you face me, I will kill you without hesitation.
And that death will be absolute.
I expect that to be so.
I see. How unfortunate.
As a collector, it seems a waste to kill someone as rare as you.
Sorcerer King Ainz Ooal Gown!
My name is Gazef Stronoff, the head warrior of Re-Estize Kingdom!
I request a duel!
Head warrior!
Gazef...
If you are willing to accept, Sorcerer King,
I would like these two as witnesses to our duel.
W-Wait! Please wait!
Great Sorcerer King! I beg you!
I know this is shameless of me, but I'm begging you from the depths of my heart!
Will you fight the two of us together?!
Such a difference should be nothing to you!
Brain Unglaus! Do you wish to drag my resolve as a warrior through the mud?!
I do not mind fighting both of you.
There is no need.
It is unnecessary to lay your hands on those two.
I see. I have seen those eyes before.
A strong gaze of a man who has prepared himself for death and moves forward.
I admire that gaze.
Fine. I accept your conditions.
A PVP between me and Master Stronoff!
Thank you...
I will return your corpse in perfect condition.
So that resurrection magic may—
Unnecessary.
I do not wish to be resurrected.
I do not mind if you toss my corpse aside here.
Lord Stronoff...
Then, let us begin.
Both of you, please witness my final battle for me.
Brain, you'll do that for me, won't you?
It's Master Stronoff's wish.
I'm fine now.
I will witness your manliness with my own eyes, Gazef.
Thank you for the honor.
Then, Master Stronoff, will you let me see your sword?
All right.
This sword is amazing!
Master Stronoff, how much do you know about this sword's power?
I know it all.
The edge of this sword has an unreal sharpness,
one that can cut through any metal as if it were paper.
How unfortunate.
That is just a mere fraction of this sword's capabilities.
What?
The data level—in other words, the level of magic in that sword—is equivalent to this dagger.
A weapon of such weak magical power cannot even leave a scratch on my body.
However, it is possible to harm me with that sword.
Putting it simply, it is a sword that may be able to kill me.
With this, we can fulfill the very basic requirements of a duel.
If I win, may I have that sword?
Please give me a break.
This sword is the kingdom's treasure.
Hm. A PVP under the condition that all drop items are returned to the owner...
Fine.
I thank you, Sorcerer King.
This should be about right for distance.
All that's left...
You, with the shiny white armor.
Give us a signal to begin.
Climb. Do it.
Th-Then, I have a magic handbell. Will ringing that work as a signal?
Shall I do it for you?
Thank you very much, but I will do it.
Master Stronoff...
I see. Countermeasures against time spells are always essential.
Delay Magic, True Death.
Good-bye, Gazef Stronoff.
I didn't dislike you.
Huh?
What?
What just happened?
I don't know!
What's wrong! Stand up, Gazef!
He is already dead.
Lord Stronoff!
Seeing him challenge me in a battle he had no chance of winning
reminded me of when I met him.
In honor of the head warrior,
I will stop the pursuit of your forces with my dark baby goats.
I will send his body back to you once it has been purified.
No, there is no need.
We will take Gazef home.
We don't need your help.
I see.
Low-level resurrection magic will not be able overpower
the instant death magic I casted; True Death.
And tell the people of the Kingdom.
I will give mercy to those who obey me.
If you hand me E-Rantel within the next few days,
these creatures will refrain from running wild in the royal capital.
Tell that to your king.
Climb, is it all right if I carry Gazef home?
Yes.
I will carry Lord Stronoff's sword home.
S-Seventy thousand?!
Impossible...
Seventy thousand with one attack...?
The spell then summoned five giant beasts that destroyed the Kingdom's army.
Then, his Highness Gown personally engaged in a duel
with the Kingdom's Head Warrior, Gazef Stronoff, and bested him.
Th-The damage to our forces were minor, caused by gross bewilderment...
First, we must return to the royal capital!
Where is Marquis Raeven?!
Has he not returned to E-Rantel?!
We should have avoided conflict after all!
Are you saying we should hand this city over to that monster?!
If E-Rantel is enough for him, it is a cheap price to pay!
Head Warrior...
Why? Why did you choose death?
If you were going to die, I wanted to die with you...!
Fourfold Slash of Light!
Even this... I learned it because I admired you...
Why didn't you let me fight along your side?!
Why didn't you ask me to die with you?!
It's true that you become weaker to tears with age.
I do not believe that age matters when one loses someone dear to them.
Sorry, Climb. I left everything to you.
What happened after that?
Right.
Since Prince Barbro has not yet returned,
they are sending a search team of hired adventurers out tomorrow.
I see.
Next, regarding the relinquishment of E-Rantel,
both the nobles and king are in unanimous agreement.
The king has it tough...
Yes.
The nobles will gain power again and he will be in a precarious situation.
What is it?
It terrifies me to think back upon it.
That fear without hope still feels so close...
Hey...
Tell me. Why do you think Gazef requested a duel from him?
Ah, never mind...
This is my own selfish opinion, but...
May I speak?
Yeah.
Perhaps he wished to show us?
Show us what?
The strength of the Sorcerer King Ainz Ooal Gown.
And perhaps he wanted us to create a future.
Future?
Yes.
He wanted us to return with information in order to plan our defense.
I see... You're right...
He was thinking about the future.
I wanted to defeat him...
In the past, I lost to him.
That's why I wanted to win next time.
But that's impossible now.
Sir Brain...
What will I do?
No, what should I do with his feelings...?
Well, I want to... win?
Yeah, that's right.
Like hell I'll respect his wishes!
You're the one who decided to go off and die!
You chose the easiest path!
I will surpass you in my own way!
I'll make you regret things in the afterlife!
Sir Brain...
Climb, we're going to drink.
Drink?
Yeah, the alcohol we promised.
We're going all out!
Father, why not take a walk in the garden?
The spring flowers are beautiful.
Your Majesty.
Today, we have officially ceded E-Rantel to the Sorcerer Kingdom Ainz Ooal Gown.
Please leave the nobles to me.
The duties of my still missing brother...
I will do them as well.
Hey, Climb.
Yes.
I have a request.
I am always at your service.
I hear an altar has been made for the people lost in the battle with the Empire.
I want you to deliver these flowers there.
I only wish there was more that I could have done for them...
The kind heart of Princess Renner is one of the kingdom's treasures.
My!
E-Excuse me!
Then I shall depart immediately.
No matter what happens to this world, I must protect Princess Renner's future...
Give me back my father!
Give me back my father, you monster!
I-It was the actions of a child!
Please! Please forgive us!
Please have mercy! Please!
Irreverent actions against Lord Ainz
is punishable by death!
Your actions of disrespect towards the most supreme one in this world,
regret them as you die.
Who's there?!
You are...
Such violence against a child that merely threw a rock!
No one will marry a woman like you.
Hearing that from you doesn't make me...
All who disrespect Lord Ainz, whether child or adult, deserves to die.
What if I told you that I would not allow such a thing?
I will consider it treason against the king of this land and crush you!
I see.
But do not think that you can take my life so easily!
Lord Ainz!
I understand, Lord Ainz.
I have not yet asked your name. State it.
It's Momon.
I see. Momon.
Lord Ainz has a proposal for you.
Join the forces of Nazarick.
Are you insane?
How rude.
Lord Ainz does not wish to rule this city with bloodshed and despair.
Though, I highly doubt any of you will believe it.
What are you trying to have me do?
Hunt the heads of rock-throwing fools like these from now on.
In exchange, you can personally see to it that Lord Ainz does not
make the innocent of this city suffer.
You want me to become your watch dog?
Not quite.
He wishes for you to become the city's representative and law enforcer.
I will not follow unjust law.
He does not plan to implement any unjust laws.
However, if you do not use your blade to serve Lord Ainz,
I will kill you here and now as a potentially dangerous man.
Even if it means many humans will die as collateral damage.
I understand! I accept!
However, if you ever hurt the people of this city meaninglessly,
this blade will come for your... All of your necks!
I am very, very crazy, very
Albedo, is the domination of E-Rantel going smoothly?
Eien ni tomaranai
Unstoppable forever
Currently, there are no major problems.
Sekai no subete kono koukuu no naka
Everything of this world, lies within this mouth cavity
Humans are surprisingly adaptable.
It is the survival instinct of the weak to follow the strong.
The existence of the adventurer Momon was of great importance here.
Saa iza yami no naka de bansankai wo
Now come, let's have a dinner party within the darkness,
Yes, the existence of Momon is keeping the fear of the humans at bay.
Daremo karemo shokuryou e to
Everyone, let's move onto our food
Can’t stop, can’t stop, eating
On top of that,
if they collect information for Momon and unite under him,
Can’t stop, can’t stop, not enough
Anything can be eaten, even if you say no
we will not have to worry about outside enemies influencing the people.
Goodness, it is all so overwhelming.
Inochi zukushi furu koosu wo
Burn out your life and eat a full-course,
The wisdom of the most supreme, who led the 41 supreme beings, is unfathomable.
Mikaku ni bouryoku kairaku wo
As for the taste, the pleasure of violence
Don’t stop, don’t stop, feeding
Yes. That is why incompetent ones such as ourselves
Don’t stop, don’t stop, one more bite
Aa, tarinai, akinai
Ah, It's not enough,
must serve him with every fiber of our being.
Genzai no shoudou yo
I haven't tired yet of these sinful urges
The grand ruler of life and death, our most superior master.
And the man that I love.
I am very, very crazy, very
Eien ni tomaranai
Unstoppable forever
Yoku ni kuwareta mouja no gou I wanna go
I'm already dead being engulfed by desire, I wanna go
Raise your heads.
Very, very tasty, very
Seidai ni utage wo
A magnificent banquet
Sekai no subete kono koukuu no naka
Everything of this world, lies within this mouth cavity
Everyone, thank you for gathering.
Ahh, Great Sorcerer King, you bestow upon us such undeserving words!
I just want to eat
Serving the Supreme One is our ultimate happiness.
How tasty it is
It is as they say.
Nanimoka ni mo wo kono sojou e to
Everything and anything’s on the chopping board
Please give us your orders.
My strength, my life, and my body is yours, Great Sorcerer King.
Risei sae mo hoshoku taishou
Even reason is a target of predation
Can’t stop, can’t stop, eating
Can’t stop, can’t stop, lost myself
We will be sure to fulfill any order you give.
Yurusarenai, yamanai honnou no zaijou
Unforgivable, won’t stop–these instinctual offences
We will do anything for you, Great Sorcerer King!
I-I will also t-try my very best!
You’re berry, berry, like a berry
Great Sorcerer King, as the representatives of all those under you,
Ureta akai tsubu no you ni
Like a ripened, scarlet seed
we sincerely congratulate you for this memorable day of the Sorcerer Kingdom.
Kamiware tareru seimei no Sauce I’m also
Bitten in half and oozing life’s sauce, I’m also
Berry, berry, we’re berries
Thank you, everyone.
However, you are all considered the children of my most dearest of friends...
Gunshou na monotachi yo
See here, trivial ones
Atokata mo naku tsubusare kieyuke
Be smashed and disappear without a trace
There is no need to call me something as stifling as king.
I wish for all of you to continue calling me Ainz.
I just want to eat
Understood...
How tasty it is
...Lord Ainz.
The time has finally come for Nazarick to step into the open!
I now declare this day the founding of Sorcerer Kingdom Ainz Ooal Gown.
