No one expected that the person confronting Gazef Stronov would be such a terrifying guy!
Clem was trembling non-stop. It was obvious that this was not due to excitement, as his livid face already spoke volumes.
Brian wasn't much better. Although he had a slightly weird smile on his face, the hand holding the handle of the knife was also trembling. Irubiai, who had just fallen from the sky, was silent about this.
"The third strong man? Haha! What happened to my life? Don't worry about Climb, there is nothing to be ashamed of." Brian also noticed Clem who was trembling.
"I...I can't escape!" Clem gritted his teeth and replied.
"Boy, that is not an opponent you can deal with. Don't take action rashly!" Irubiai added in an unusually cold tone.
"Your Excellency Stronov, you are well!" The terrifying guy floated down from the head of the huge monster and greeted Gazef very calmly. His tone was like talking to an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time.
Just a normal greeting.
"The same goes for Mr. Gong, you're fine... Haha, I didn't expect... Am I right to say that? If you gave up your human identity after that, I apologize to you." Gazef was the same, as if he was a friend he hadn't seen for a long time.
The conversation is average.
"Haha! No need to apologize. I'm the same as I was then." The scary guy chuckled lightly, landed on the ground, and walked over slowly.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, Mr. Stronov. I haven't seen you since what happened in Kahn Village."
"Yes, Your Excellency Gong, so what? Did you meet me on the battlefield? Did you come over to say hello?" Gazef responded with a smile.
"Haha! That's right, but I have another thing to ask you for." The scary guy stretched out his hand to Gazef and said something that surprised everyone present.
"Will you be my subordinate?"
No one expected that such a terrifying magic caster would ask Gazef to be his subordinate.
"As long as you are willing, I can order them to stop attacking at any time." It is self-evident what the "they" that the guy mentioned was referring to, and everyone knew it, because all the huge monsters had stopped.
action.
Is this a threat? A naked threat, right? But why would such a powerful person threaten Gazef to become his subordinate?
There is definitely a reason for this, but no one present can guess the reason except himself.
"What's the matter? Your Excellency Stronov?" The guy asked again after seeing Gazef's delay in responding.
If... Gazef agrees now, can more people be saved? Can this one-sided war be stopped? Everyone is struggling with this issue, except Brian who knows Gazef very well.
Said something softly.
"That man will not surrender."
Sure enough, Gazef shook his head and raised his sword towards the guy.
"Please allow me to refuse. I am the king's sword. I am betting on the king's kindness to me. This is the only thing I cannot give in to." Gazef said.
"Hey...rejecting me may lead to the death of more people, don't you agree?" the guy said.
"Well..." Gazef did not answer, silence was the best answer.
"Is this your answer? Okay then!" That guy probably lost interest in Gazef and was about to turn around and leave...
"Your Excellency! Please forgive me for being rude to your benefactor! I hope to challenge you in a duel!" Gazef called out to him.
"Are you...serious?" The guy hesitated for a moment, then turned around and asked coldly.
"Of course." Gazef responded without hesitation.
"Will you die?"
"I know."
"Even if you know you will die, do you still want to challenge me? Are you planning to commit suicide?"
"maybe!"
The extremely simple conversation made Climb and Brian on the side unable to understand... Is Gazef crazy?
"I don't quite understand your current thinking. If you had a chance of winning, it might be justified, but you should know by now that you are bound to lose." The guy said disdainfully.
"The enemy leader is right in front of me, within the reach of the sword in my hand. Isn't it natural to take off the enemy leader's head?" Gazef gave the answer without hesitation.
"It is indeed very close from a physical point of view, but there is an infinite gap in terms of strength!" As soon as the guy finished speaking, the tentacles of the huge monster behind him came over at a speed invisible to the naked eye, and stood beside Gazef.
A big hole was made.
That speed and strength are something that Gazef cannot dodge or defend against. If he is hit from the front, he will definitely turn into a meat pie.
"Maybe! Your Excellency Gong." Gazef's eyes were firm, not wavering at all.
"Because I said I won't kill you, are you going too far?" The guy's tone seemed to be laced with displeasure.
"No, I don't mean that at all. I just want to fulfill my duty as a warrior commander of my kingdom." Gazef smiled bitterly and replied calmly.
"In this case... it's really a pity. After saying so much, I can't change your mind. As a collector, it is indeed a pity to erase a rare existence." The guy shook his head and said.
"Your Excellency, Sorcerer King Ainz Ooal Gown! My name is Gazef Stronov, the Kingdom Warrior Captain of the Riestij Kingdom! I want to challenge you to a duel!" At this time, Gazef officially
He declared a duel to that guy.
"Gadeff!"
"Lord Gazef!"
Clem and Brian on the side knew very well what it meant to challenge the big devil...
"If you are willing to accept it, Your Majesty the Sorcerer King...can you allow these two to serve as witnesses for the duel?" Gazef looked back at them and said.
"Okay!" The guy agreed.
"Wait! Wait a minute! Gazef! No! Your Majesty the Sorcerer King! Please! I know this is very shameless! But I sincerely beg you! Can you fight us two at the same time? This is not a problem for you.
It’s not difficult!!” Brian shouted in shame.
"Boy! Do you want to tarnish Gazef Stronov's consciousness as a warrior?" Irubiai, who had not expressed his stance, said this coldly.
Brian froze immediately, and Gazef just turned back to look at them.
"Thank you!" Gazef said to Irubia.
"Tsk..." Irubiai also turned his face away as if he was holding back something.
"Is this okay? I can deal with both of you at the same time, or it doesn't matter if you go together." The guy looked at a few people aside and said.
"No... no need, Your Majesty the Sorcerer King, I can do it alone, no one else has to do it." Gazef looked a little ugly and said quickly.
"That's it, that's good...I've seen this look in your eyes before, the look with the consciousness of death, it's really good...It's really desirable." The deep red light in the guy's eye sockets flashed, and he continued.
"Okay then! I accept your challenge, my PVP with Mr. Stronov!"
As soon as the guy finished speaking, Brian knelt down on his knees. Although he couldn't see his face...but from the traces of tears dripping down on the dry soil, it was clear how sad Brian was feeling now.
What happened next... Needless to say, it happened in a split second in front of the three of them... As witnesses, Climb, Brian and Irubia didn't even understand what happened.
After that guy distanced himself from Gazef, and after Climb rang the bell to signal the start of the duel, the next second... Gazef fell into the guy's arms, keeping his sword raised... …
