I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Sharp is dead.

The corpse was also burned by a fireball from the goblin priest.

This can be considered as putting Anno's mind at ease.

"However, Freeman's escape is also a potential problem!"

Anno put away his summoned creature, picked up Sharp's steel spear, mounted the wind wolf, and chased after Freeman.

"Master, I've reached level 8!"

Liz, who was sitting behind Anno and had her arm around his waist, said to Anno excitedly.

Anno was taken aback; he also gained 300 experience points for killing Sharp.

But he didn't expect Liz to level up.

I checked Liz's information panel, and her level had indeed changed from 7 to 8.

"Has anything changed?"

"Changes? My magical power has increased, and my physique has become stronger!"

"How do demons learn skills?" Liz, who possesses the ability to learn independently, can learn other skills.

Seeing Liz level up, Anno suddenly remembered the issue of learning skills.

If monsters need to find a demon mentor to learn skills, Naris's growth will be greatly limited.

"Demonic races are different from human races. A large part of the demon race's skills are related to their race. Most demons can automatically learn their race's skills when they reach a certain level."

For example, my [Charm] and [Night Vision] skills will be automatically learned by the succubus after it reaches level 5.

Apart from that, we need to find our own ways to hone other skills.

Their "whipping" is a skill they've learned through hard work.

The title of "commander" is also something that people gain from constantly learning about past wars.

Moreover, many demons will increase their level as they grow.

However, different demon races naturally have different level caps.

Once you reach your limit, you'll need to work hard to improve and break through.

"I see!"

Anno nodded.

Compared to humans, who need to find mentors and diligently practice skills after obtaining training methods, the other races...

Demons can learn skills once they reach a certain level, and some powerful races may be born with many skills.

Humans need to constantly train, fight, and hone their skills to level up.

Some demons will level up as long as they grow normally.

"No wonder humans are getting crushed by the demons; the difference in strength is just too great!"

After a sigh, Anno began to think about how to get Liz to practice new skills.

……

Freeman didn't know how long he had been running, but he felt like he was lost in the forest.

The core area of ​​the Forbidden Forest has never been explored before.

Freeman was also unfamiliar with the terrain here.

By the time he realized he was lost, he had no idea where he was.

"What the hell is this place? I shouldn't have been so greedy. For a few coins, I followed Sharp so deep!"

Enraged, Freeman chopped down a large tree next to him.

Right now, all he feels is regret.

Sharp promised him a reward of five gold coins after he killed Anno.

If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have agreed in the first place.

With his level 10, he could practically roam freely on the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest.

Because of Sharp and Anno, his men are now dead, and he has lost his way.

Thinking of Anno, Freeman stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "I always had a feeling that Anno was a bit strange. I wonder if Sharp managed to kill him?"

In this quiet, deserted place, Freeman could only bolster his courage by constantly talking to himself.

Splash!

Suddenly, a series of clanging sounds of iron chains rang out nearby.

Upon hearing this sound, Freeman quickly concealed himself.

Before long, a tall goblin carrying a scythe with chains on its back strode out from the depths of the forest.

Behind it followed a horde of goblins.

The aura fluctuations of these goblins are all above level 8!

Upon witnessing this scene, Freeman covered his mouth and nose, barely daring to breathe.

If it were discovered, it would probably be devoured immediately.

The scythe goblin in the lead was the same one that Anno had scared away earlier.

It first went to the goblin cave to inform the goblin king of the human invasion.

At the Goblin King's behest, the Scythe Goblin returned to his tribe and set off with hundreds of elite soldiers.

The goal, of course, is to wipe out all humans from the Goblin Forest!

"Um?"

The scythe goblin stopped as it passed a large tree.

"Oops!"

Freeman, who was hiding, broke out in a cold sweat when he saw this.

He just chopped down that tree; there's a mark left!

Sure enough, after seeing the knife marks on the tree, the scythe goblin looked down and discovered the trampled grass.

The footprints are clearly human!

The scythe goblin immediately ordered the goblins behind him to search the area.

"run!"

Freeman saw goblins walking towards his hiding place, and suddenly darted out, running back the way he came, wishing he only had two legs.

The scythe goblin was startled by Freeman's escape.

But when they discovered that the humans were human, they immediately gave chase with the goblins.

……

The wind wolf is tracking Freeman by his scent.

Suddenly, they stopped walking.

"Um?"

Anno did not order the Wind Wolf to stop.

However, he soon found out why the wind wolf had stopped.

Just a few dozen meters ahead, Freeman emerged from the dense forest, howling like a wolf.

A group of goblins were hanging behind him.

In Anno's view, a large group of goblins with levels 8 and 9 emerged.

"Turn around, turn around, turn around! Run, run, run!"

Anno was also taken aback by the spectacle.

Liz pointed in a direction and said, "Go that way, that's the way out of the forest."

The wind wolf beneath him immediately turned around and ran in the direction Liz pointed.

"Anno!"

Freeman's heart skipped a beat when he saw Anno ahead as he fled in panic.

Anno's presence here clearly indicates that she's here to chase after him.

If that's the case, then Sharp has already been dealt with by Anno!

Freeman wanted to cry.

With hundreds of goblins behind and Anor ahead, how can anyone survive?

Fortunately, Anno was also afraid of the goblins behind him and turned to run away.

When he saw Anno change direction, Freeman immediately pointed at Anno and shouted behind him, "Chase him! Chase him! Chase him!"

The scythe goblin couldn't understand Freeman's meaning, but it didn't want to let Anno go either.

It made a gesture, and some of the goblins behind it split off and chased after Anno.

If the battle is taking place in a small area, the harpy can still take to the air in the dense forest.

However, in chases like this, the harpy's speed is greatly reduced in the dense forest, making it slower than the wind wolf.

Therefore, Anno did not summon the harpy to take Liz away.

Moreover, since Anno has already been seen by the goblins, it's not certain that Liz's appearance at this point will be able to intimidate this elite group of goblins.

So, the only option is to run as fast as you can!

Fortunately, the wind wolf is a four-legged magical beast. Although it is only level 6 and has to carry Anno and Liz, its speed has been reduced considerably.

But it is still faster than a goblin.

The two sides were originally less than fifty meters apart.

As they ran, the distance between them widened.

Goblins shot arrows at Anno, trying to slow him down, but it was completely ineffective.

Either the shot missed, or it hit the tree trunk.

After nearly twenty minutes of frantic running, Anno finally escaped the Forbidden Forest.

As for the goblins behind them, it seems they stopped chasing long ago.

"If so many high-level goblins were to break out, it would be a disaster for the town of Gruul!"

Anno glanced back at the Forbidden Forest and ran towards the town of Gruul.

He wanted to remind the residents of the town of Gruel to prepare for evacuation.
