There are also raid bosses, that require all maxed out players to consistently beat. And 20-40 of them at that. So he shouldn't be the strongest in his verse *at all* and yet he somehow is.

[@hypedog4598]

Climb clearly did not grind hard enough for this fight.

[@ZackofSpades]

I like how Climb noticed that Ainz protected his red orb, that smile going "He has a weak spot! I have a chance!" I think in the novel the sword hits the orb and does nothing, which blows that out of the water as one last bit of hopelessness. But in this, it makes Ainz actually feel like he's ending the fight now because Climb found a potential way to actually damage him, or at least his World Item. Which would be the smarter play, so long as it hasn't been established in this universe that the orb can't be hurt by the sword. It might have not been a world item, but it could have bs powers nonetheless.

[@Makorze]

Ainz is still impressed the attack got through considering the lv difference between him and climb. Had that been an attack from players if equal level, that would have been a good strike. He kinda praises the War Troll in the arena for the same thing. He manages to lul Ainz into dropping his guard just enough to get a few cheeky shots in. Even if they do no damage him. Ainz will give praise where praise is due.

[@ZackofSpades]

@@Makorze Agreed! Though... he didn't exactly praise Climb. Kinda bummed his story effectively ends there, but that's just how this crapsack world goes.

[@xxx_jim_the_reaper_xxx]

I think that Climb thinks that if he damaged that World Item, Ainz would die since he blocked his sword before it reaches its mark. However, Ainz wouldn't want to risk losing his World Item to a nobody so he instinctively blocked his attack.

[@Igarappappa]

@@xxx_jim_the_reaper_xxx More like he's not willing to gamble that the sword's magic COULD destroy it. He says he wants to test it, but he's not gonna do it in the middle of a fight.

spoiler , blunt hit to ainz face is actually super effective, ainz face actually took dmg from climb's punch and u can see shattered bones flying around even tho it's small but it's in the details

[@KotauFPS]

Holy fucking shit you're right, you can see bone fragments flying when he punches... And also hear his hand bones fracturing lmao. But in all seriousness that's an amazing detail! I'd be really, really surprised if Ainz really did take damage at all from that punch.

[@hololivevirus4854]

That shouldn't be possible, Ainz have High tier physical immunity which mean even if its blunt attack you must be at least level 60 to be able to land a damage to him. Climb is around level 15 and the ring is confirmed to be able to boost the wearer level 5 level which mean it's impossible that Ainz take damage from that punch

[@theclosecall4095]

no fucking way lmao, ainz has immunity against physical dmg dealt by low level being. sfx is because ainz is a hollow skeleton and punching it will cause a sound ringing around his head (and the fragment is also for dramatize the punch). did you really think fucking bozos is stronger then brain (still literally nothing) that had the performance of lvl 45 (almost realm of heroes)? cmon now, climb just a bozo to root for the weak against strong trope and forget after this chapter

Nah plot armour is random bs power ups when losing. Ainz was always this strong and has never had one random bs powerup. The power scale is set in stone never to be changed again.

[@ailuosi7241]

Actually the original Touch Me would be on board with these actions as once he came to the new world momonga literally became his characters stats and build. Having a negative 500 karma. All of his guild members were the same. They purposefully played as villains with negative karma's. Had they entered the new world they too would be subject to their characters builds and karma's ultimately affecting their behavior and thoughts. Touch Me the original GM was an incectisoid character which means the moment he came to the new world, he would see humans as food naturally.

[@hololivevirus4854]

Did you read the LN? He never said that the destruction of the kingdom is for his friend. In LN at this point Ainz lost all his hope that maybe his friend also exist somewhere in the New world and so his motive at this point that lead him to agree with the destruction of the kingdom is to ensure the safety (also mean happiness)of all the Npc from a future enemy by giving them a reason to think twice before going to declare war or to antagonize Nazarik and also giving a future friendly relationship to those who take a good side of Nazarik. That's the whole purpose of this plan "Carrot and stick" I think in Anime it's pretty obvious as well
