"I understand, then, I beg you!"
Gazef didn't have much time to ponder these matters. The most important thing was the peculiar ability of the person before him. Even if Asahi had some ulterior motive, what could he do about it? As long as he gained the power to protect his country, that was enough.
As for other concerns, he didn't believe Asahi would go to such lengths just to deceive him. He wasn't valuable enough for that. Yes, he was the Warrior Captain, but his strength alone wasn't enough to defeat an army of hundreds or thousands.
"A wise choice. Now, could you go find 'Nail Clippers' for me?!"
Asahi nodded, but Gazef was baffled again, 'Nail clippers? What could that be?'
He really had no idea what Asahi is talking about.
"Um…, my lord… what do you mean by nail clippers?"
After a moment of hesitation, Gazef finally asked.
"Oh, that. See for yourself!"
Asahi said, then showed Gazef several scenes of Brain Unglaus's encounters with Shalltear Bloodfallen, including the moment when Brain managed to break one of Shalltear's nails with his ultimate move. Seeing these scenes, Gazef fell into deep thought once more.
"So… it really does seem like him. At least, from what I know, that fits!"
Gazef was a little speechless. Based on what he knew about Brain, it did make sense. But seeing Brain break Shalltear's nail, thinking she was not holding back, and being overjoyed by it, left Gazef with a complicated feeling.
It can be said that Gazef still couldn't understand that sensation. After all, Brain had faced Shalltear before. For a low-level warrior fighting a max-level boss, breaking her nail was already quite an achievement.
"Then I'll trouble you to find him, after all, I plan to train both of you. Perhaps there will be others later, but you two will be the first batch. It will be up to you to determine if your choice is right or wrong!"
Asahi smiled and said.
Gazef didn't say much about this, as he couldn't find any reason to refute Asahi. He decided to let time and experience prove everything.
Fortunately, Brain was nearby, so Gazef quickly had him summoned. When Brain arrived, he was curious about why Gazef wanted to see him. But after learning the reason and seeing the footage, Brain was dumbfounded.
He hadn't yet faced such despair, so he didn't believe he could be so helpless, unable to even break someone's nail. It seemed too exaggerated no matter how he looked at it.
"you don't believe it, you can try it on me!"
Asahi offered straightforwardly. Without hesitation, Brain attacked, only to find himself kneeling on the ground within seconds.
Before, Asahi only exposed his future telling ability and did not show his combat power. Although he knew that Asahi is not simple, Gazef did not expect it to be so shocking. Just now, Asahi had only used a single strand of hair to fight Brain. Yes, just a single strand of hair.
Brain had used his ultimate move, but he couldn't even cut through Asahi's hair after slashing it countless times. Then, that strand of hair easily disarmed Brain, leaving him in a state of shock.
"Is the gap really this big? I think I can understand why I'd be so happy just breaking that guy's nail!"
Brain said, feeling a new sense of clarity. If he could cut Asahi's hair, he'd be ecstatic. But he didn't know that such thing would never happen. After all, Asahi's single hair strand could easily obliterate a galaxy.
Asahi's level is far beyond anything Brain could catch up to, even if he had unlimited leveling opportunities in a game-like system. The gap would only grow wider.
"Very well, we can begin your training now!"
Asahi nodded, but at this moment, Gazef spoke up.
"My lord, could you give me some time to arrange my duties? After all, I hold a position of responsibility!"
Gazef, being the Kingdom's Warrior Captain, couldn't just leave his post, unlike Brain, who had much more freedom.
"No need. I'll adjust the flow of time. Even if you train for a year there, it will only be a moment back in your world!"
After saying that, Asahi directly pulled the two into Hell. This is the most suitable place for them to train. At least, it is not a problem for them to reach level 100 here. In fact, Gazef and his comrades had an advantage over Ainz in one aspect, which is, they weren't bound by game mechanics.
Players like Ainz doesn't need to care about qualifications, as they can reach the top as long as they continue to fight monsters and upgrades their equipment. This is something that Gazef and the others do not have, but in the same way, Ainz's status have been digitized and carried over their stats to the new world, limiting their growth.
In this case, although Ainz can still improve, it is difficult because he needs to break the data, but the natives like Gazef are different.
They themselves have not been digitized, so as long as they have the power of other worlds to interfere, they can even easily exceed this power limit, and now the power that interfere is… Asahi.
Of course, Asahi didn't plan to make them too powerful, as that would unbalance the scale. What he wanted was a fair and balanced fight between them and Ainz.
Of course, it is necessary to surpass Ainz and the others. After all, Ainz's equipment is the gap between a casual player and a whale player.
"What is this place?"
Brain asked, bewildered by the harsh environment outside the barrier.
"This is the hell of a world. Do not venture outside, as the corruption will consume you entirely. I've created this space for your training."
"You must gain power stronger than that undead sorcerer, or you won't stand a chance against him!"
After Asahi finished speaking, the faces of the two became serious, and then Asahi directly injected a burst of energy into their bodies. With their qualifications, they couldn't achieve such power on their own, even with a lifetime of training.
So this energy was necessary for their progress. After the energy blessing, their subsequent training will be very effective.
After the energy entered their body, an immense pressure weighed down on them, nearly causing them to collapse.
