Death Knight

Death Knight (デスナイト) is a level 35 monsters and was one of Momonga’s favorite creatures to summon back in YGGDRASIL.

Appearance
Death Knight has huge body wore a body armor made of black metal with red bloodlines engraved on it. The armor had sharp thorns everywhere and looked like the incarnation of violence. Two demonic horns emerged from the helmet, with the face being visible underneath. It was an disgusting, rotted face whose empty eye sockets were filled with hate and killing intent, glowing with a flashing red light.

Abilities
Death Knight had two very important special skills. One was the ability to attract the attacks of an enemy. The other one could be used only once, but it would always survive one lethal attack as long as it had a certain amount of HP left. Because of these two special skills, Momonga enjoyed using Death Knights as a shield.

In offensive powers the Death Knight is only comparable to a level 25 monster but on the defensive side it is comparable to a level 40 monster.

Trivia

 * If Death Knight is summoned normally, it will cease to exist after a short time but if it is summoned in combination with a corpse, the Death Knight seems to become a permanent existence.
 * In the web novel, the death knight almost won the duel and killed Gazef Stronoff if Ainz Ooal Gown did not step in.
