I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

"【Word of Power: Bow Down!】"

As Webster's voice faded, Lan felt immense pressure, forcing him to lower his head.

"How could that be?"

Lan's pupils contracted sharply as she struggled to resist the oppressive feeling.

But his body was bending down little by little.

Anno felt something was strange.

Compared to "stop," the target should be more resistant to the command to "surrender."

Trolop's "Compassion" ability can now make the target feel pity for it, and even help it fight under its influence.

But it's impossible to make the target commit suicide.

This kind of command is seriously at odds with the awareness of the objective itself.

When Webster used the [Word of Power] to make Lan stop, Lan easily resisted and continued her actions.

But when Lan was forced to bow her head in a more awkward way, she found herself unable to resist!

"How exactly does this guy's [Word of Power] work?"

Anno's eyelids twitched, and he unconsciously distanced himself from Webster.

He had learned his lesson from Webster before, being forced to hand over a Pandora.

Although the two are now on the same side, he dares not completely trust the other party.

It's best not to give the other party the opportunity to use [Word of Power] on you.

Webster glanced at Anno and thought to himself: I'll ask him about the whereabouts of the eighth Pandora after the battle is over.

The protection [Word of Power] is divided into passive and active.

Passive abilities grant Webster's language the power to command the target's body to act. However, this power is relatively weak and can only affect targets with low soul strength.

Actively using [Word of Power] can amplify the power of the next few words, forcing the target's body to obey Webster's commands.

If the soul strength is not more than five times that of Webster's soul strength, the target's body is basically unable to resist.

Webster, who is now at the peak of the ninth rank, is still spending a lot of effort cultivating his soul and increasing its strength. He is confident that he can use [Word Power] to deal with all mortals below the god level!

"hateful!"

Lan bit her teeth until they were broken, but her body was still trembling as she knelt down.

The reason for the trembling was that Lan's consciousness was fighting against Webster's power of words.

"What a powerful spirit!"

Webster's eyes lit up.

Lan's persistence shows that his soul is far greater than Webster's.

"If I could possess his soul strength, my power would increase even further!"

Whoosh!

While Webster was talking to himself, Anno had already rushed to Lan's side.

Webster's eyelids twitched at the sight, and he quickly shouted, "Don't kill him!"

If this time-space apostle is killed, then the resurrected Lanco will no longer be under the control of the [Word of Power].

The active enhancement of [Word of Power] has a limited number of uses within a certain time period.

However, Anno did not go to kill Lan.

Lan had used up almost all her strength resisting the [Blessing].

He wanted to pierce Anno in front of him with the sword in his hand.

But Lan knew in her heart that if he dared to relax, he would immediately kneel down.

Lan would rather be killed than kneel before the enemy.

This is something that an Apostle of Time and Space cannot tolerate.

"Actually, I've had this idea for a long time, but I've never been able to make it happen."

Anno stood in front of Lan, took off his gloves and gathered magic power, preparing to draw a six-pointed star mark on the back of Lan's neck.

The [Spirit Offering] buff grants Anno summons far exceeding those of ordinary summoners, the ability to learn skills mastered by sacrificing souls, and the capacity to upgrade the rank of skills acquired through sacrificing souls. It also grants him a powerful skill.

Forcibly turning targets whose level is no higher than Anno's into Anno's contracted objects.

Anno, a ninth-tier being, possesses three contract slots.

But only Liz used one.

Sassiel, Macaros, and Anno signed a slave contract, not a contract for the "sacrifice of spirits."

As his strength continued to increase, Anno could no longer find any targets worthy of his use of the [Spirit Offering] contract.

Previously, those of the same level, or even those of higher level than Anno, were no match for Anno, so Anno had no need to use them.

The current situation is that the powerful enemies are all god-level, so Anno is unusable.

But the Time Apostles are different.

Their level is 50, the peak of the ninth tier, just like Anno!

Those who wield the magic of time and space possess bizarre techniques and can resurrect infinitely.

They are simply the perfect candidate for the current [Spirit Offering] contract.

Moreover, when Anno first encountered the Time Apostle Comi, he was powerless to deal with him, but the sudden appearance of another Time Apostle, Fura, proved one thing—Time Apostles are not uncontrollable!

However, Anno was not able to suppress the power of the Time Apostle.

Even if they can be suppressed, if the Time-Space Apostle cannot be completely controlled, the other party can escape by committing suicide before the contract array is completed.

Anno didn't know exactly how long Webster's "Word of Power" could control the other party.

Therefore, he wanted to complete the contract imprint as soon as possible.

"Um?"

Webster didn't know why, but as he watched Anno walk up to Lan and start drawing magic runes, he felt uneasy.

"What on earth is this guy doing?"
