I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Sharp looked up at the harpy hovering above him, then glanced at the goblin priest beside Anno, and cold sweat broke out all over his body.

If the monster attack was orchestrated by Anno, then what exactly is Anno's identity?

"Could he be a member of the demon race?"

"Get them!"

While Sharp was making wild guesses, Anno gave an order, and the six trolls rushed forward.

Sharp truly lives up to his reputation as the "Raging Knight" of Valcalm.

Despite his tendency to run away, he is definitely not weak.

Although level 8 trolls are tough, they can fight against Earth Bears.

However, it appears somewhat cumbersome when compared to the agile Sharp.

Fortunately, the harpy above occasionally harassed Sharp with her [Aerial Dive] and [Banshee Claws].

Sharp has to deal with the trolls, keep an eye on the harpies overhead, and also keep an eye on Anno's movements.

As a result, he felt very frustrated during the fight.

"I was careless; Anno has too many summoned creatures!"

Sharp managed to avoid serious injury thanks to his skillful movement, but his stamina was severely depleted.

If this drags on any longer, he'll likely be attacked by the trolls.

Even getting punched by one of these big guys isn't pleasant.

"No, we have to run!"

Sharp cursed Freeman in his mind for running away earlier.

If Freeman hadn't run away, he could have used Freeman as bait.

But now he's all alone, and he can only rely on himself to break through.

"Or, find a way to get close to Anno and kill him!"

After thinking for a while, Sharp decided to try to rush in front of Anno before running away.

He just mastered a skill in the last couple of days, but hasn't used it in front of anyone else yet—[Extreme Speed].

The effect is to increase speed by three times in a short period of time.

The skill he learned before, "Speed," only doubled his speed.

Use this skill to rush in front of Anno.

If Anno doesn't have a backup plan, he'll die!

If you have it, you can use that skill to escape as well.

"Holy Shield!"

Having made up his mind, Sharp held the shield in his left hand and roared.

The round shield, fifty centimeters in diameter, immediately emitted a white light.

The troll punched it, as if hitting steel, and the pain made the troll keep shaking its hand.

"The Furious Spear!"

Sharp swiftly thrust his spear with his right hand, piercing several wounds into the chest of another troll beside him.

"roar!"

Seeing this, a troll behind them roared and charged at Sharp.

"Shield Bash!"

Sharp's giant shield slammed backward, colliding with the charging troll.

thump.

After a dull thud, the troll, which was over two meters tall, was sent flying backward.

"Whoosh!"

Sharp used three skills in a row, which not only consumed his magic power but also depleted his stamina.

However, having finally managed to create an opening, Sharp naturally wouldn't waste this opportunity.

"Hurry!"

Sharp suddenly doubled his speed and burst through the gap in an instant.

The harpies that were about to swoop down stopped and, at Anno's command, flew in a different direction.

Whoosh whoosh!

The goblin archer fired three arrows in quick succession.

But Sharp was too fast; by the time the arrow flew past, he had already run past.

"Die, Anno!"

Sharp, who rushed in front of Anno, thrust his spear forward.

At the crucial moment, Anno canceled the summoning of a troll, making room to summon a kobold warrior in front of him.

puff!

The spear pierced the chest of the kobold that was blocking Anno's way.

"What?"

Upon seeing this, Sharp's expression changed drastically, and he exerted force with his right hand, trying to draw his spear.

But the kobold held on tightly to the spear.

Whoosh!

The goblin priest conjured a fireball and hurled it at Sharp.

Sharp quickly released his grip on the gun and retreated hastily.

"Master, he really does want to come and kill you, just like he said!"

Sharp, who had just lost his weapon, suddenly heard the black-robed man next to Anno say such a sentence.

This made him unable to resist looking over.

Then Sharp saw a pair of stunningly beautiful faces and pupils that emitted a purple light.

"So many beautiful women!"

Suddenly, Sharp lost sight of Anno and was surrounded by a group of voluptuous beauties.

But the next moment, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

I was just fighting Anno!

In a moment of desperation, Sharp bit his tongue hard.

The excruciating pain jolted Sharp out of his trance.

But the next moment, he was struck in the back by a troll's fist the size of a sandbag.

"puff!"

While still in mid-air, Sharp coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Sharp felt as if his internal organs were about to be shattered.

After landing, Sharp looked around, found a direction without trolls, activated the [Speed] skill, and tried to run away.

"A succubus actually calls Anno 'Master'!"

Sharp is becoming increasingly suspicious of Anno's human identity.

He no longer intends to kill Anno.

Protected by numerous summoned creatures, Sharp felt that he had no chance of making contact with Anno unless he killed all of them.

But who knows exactly how many summons Anno has?

The six trolls we just saw were already outrageous.

After finally getting close to Anno, another level 8 kobold appeared.

Having driven Sharp to this point, how could Anno possibly let him escape?

Sharp thought that his skills, which he had never used in front of anyone, were his trump card.

Under the observation of the "Five Perspectives," all of Sharp's skills were clearly listed.

Although there are no skill descriptions, the two skills, [Speed] and [Extreme Speed], look like acceleration skills no matter how you look at them.

That's why Anno was able to predict that Sharp would suddenly attack after creating an opening in the encirclement—the only other possibility was that he was escaping.

Having lost his weapon, Sharp would certainly not continue fighting; he would only choose to run away.

That direction, unguarded by trolls, was deliberately left open by Anno.

Because there are harpies overhead in that direction, ready to scream.

Sharp hadn't gone far when he heard a piercing scream.

Pfft!

The faster you run, the harder you fall.

The shield that Sharp was holding in his left hand flew far away.

Enduring the burning pain on his face—it was a face slam—Sharp had just regained his vision and was about to get up and continue running when he suddenly felt something cut his left leg, followed by excruciating pain.

"Ah~!"

Hearing Sharp's screams, Anno swung his longsword again and severed Sharp's right leg.

"No!"

With both legs severed, Sharp let out a painful howl.

At that moment, he knew he was finished.

"Anno, I know I was wrong. Please, let me go! I'm a cripple now, I can't threaten you anymore, please let me go!"

When Anno heard Sharp's pleas for mercy, a strange expression appeared on his face.

"That sound of begging for mercy sounds so familiar; it's like your brother begged me like that back then!"

"What?!"

Sharp was stunned, and for a moment he even forgot the pain.

He had always believed that Anno had killed his brother.

But Anno did not admit it, and his brother Harry's body was never found.

So Sharp still had a sliver of hope.

But now Anno has suddenly admitted it.

"You know, your brother also taught me some lessons. Although the human race in this world is weak, it is not united."

Some people might try to kill you over something trivial.

And to deal with such people, if you have the strength, you must... wipe them out completely!

Anno pointed his longsword at Sharp's heart, a smile on his face, and said, "Go see your brother!"

puff!

The cold, longsword pierced through Sharp.

"Anno...you monster, you...you deserve to die a horrible death!"
