Massacre.Jircniv reveals to his advisors that he plans on having Ainz cast the first stone in the upcoming war, in order to truly gauge his strength and to reveal the threat he poses to the world, hoping to use that and have the Re-Estize kingdom realize the necessity of an alliance. The Baharuth Empire's 60,000-strong army consists of well-trained knights, while the Kingdom's army is 240,000 strong, but consists mainly of average people; Conscripts over trained soldiers. Gazef and Raeven are at the front-lines, and Gazef has been given the four treasures of the kingdom; adamantite armour, a magic sword called Razor Edge that can cut through anything, Gauntlets of Endurance that provide endless stamina and The Amulet of Immortality that provides regeneration. Ainz approaches the front lines with his army of Death Knights, but proceeds to begin casting a Super-Tier spell. On realizing the danger Ainz poses, Raeven and Gazef attempt to issue order to retreat, but fail to do so in time. The left flank of the Kingdom's army, consisting of 70,000 men, charges as Ainz casts the spell, Iä Shub-Niggurath, which slaughters the entire left flank and proceeds to sacrifice them to summon 5 massive monsters called 'The Dark Young', who he directs towards the Kingdom's army to literally crush underfoot. Gazef attempts to fight back, but the Dark Young prove to be unstoppable, until Ainz walks onto the battle-field and approaches Gazef and asks him to become his subordinate in exchange for calling off the Dark Young. Gazef refuses even as Ainz tries to goad him, and just as Ainz is about to continue the massacre, Gazef challenges Ainz to duel.
