At the same time, they were discussing of finding him a wife for him in order to produce an offspring that could even be stronger warrior in the future, but he quickly dismissed the idea as he is not interested in having a human wife and thinks that any human who would must be disgusting, but still might consider finding a troll wife.

When the two opponents met at the arena, they each gave a formal introduction to one another and both showed mutual respect to one another. Just before the fight started, they made an agreement if Go Gon were to win, he would get to eat Ainz and should Ainz win he will become his subordinate.

They fought against each other and the Troll even managed to do quite a bit of damage to Ainz who had disabled his skills and magic. However, in the end, Ainz still managed to get the upper hand but still admired the troll's skills and resolve. Go Gin likewise felt honored to fight an opponent stronger then himself as it meant they he still motivation to become even stronger and even asked Ainz to finish him off with a glimpse of his true power and Ainz obliged to his request.

Right after his death, Ainz resurrected the warrior and used the situation to his advantage to help with recruiting new adventurers to his domain as way to show them that he can provide them with the support that they would need to survive.

Quotes

 * (To Osk): "I heard my opponent was the Sorcerer King, and I wondered what sort of foe he would be. It would seem my arrogance up till now will be repaid in full."
 * (To Osk): "No, saying that I am very strong would be a lie. My might comes from my racial abilities, and it is not actual strength. Still, there are very few people who can contend with me. In particular, ever since I learned to use martial arts, I have never tried to understand my challenger's abilities or equipment, in order to create an unfavorable situation for me. There is no other way to train myself. But in the end, I have found a foe which my instincts are screaming at me to run away from. Thank you very much. You have fulfilled the agreement we made when you met me."
 * (To Osk): "Hmph. What are you saying? I have no intention of losing. All my challengers felt the same way. Everyone stood before me in the hopes of achieving victory. Now, it is simply my turn."
 * (To Ainz): "I see. It would seem you do understand my species well, Your Majesty. Indeed, my species considers those with short names to be strong. However, I have lived in this country for many years. During that time, I have learned that humans take long names. Thus, I will not make fun of such things. In addition, I sense that you are quite proud of that name, Your Majesty. Insulting the names of the strong is shameful for a warrior."
 * (To Ainz): "To date, I have not encountered anyone worth killing for a meal. But if I can eat you, who are stronger than me, I will obtain your powers, Your Majesty."
 * (To Ainz): "No… Your Majesty. Not… not yet. I am still the Martial Lord. I am still the king of this arena. I will resist until I die."
 * (To Ainz): "Your Majesty has not revealed a fraction of your true power until now. Even without the mighty wings of your magic, this is clearly not taxing you. Am… Am I really that weak?"
 * (To Ainz): "Your Majesty, the Sorcerer King Ainz Ooal Gown. At the very end, please show me -- even if it is just a fraction -- of your true power. Allow me to experience the zenith of might!"
