I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

"Owner!"

Seeing the figures engulfed by lightning, Leona in the distance couldn't help but feel tense.

It seems the shadow didn't defend itself at all, and after activating berserk mode, it simply used its physical body to withstand the attack.

The Thunder Beast's attack utilized a portion of the forbidden area's power, making it powerful enough to severely injure even a high-ranking god.

Although Shadow's strength was originally that of a high-level god, it was still somewhat risky for him to withstand the thunderstorm of the forbidden area.

"Ugh~ Ah~ Hahaha... Awesome~! So awesome!"

Just as Leona and the hidden Pamela were worried about the shadow, a burst of laughter suddenly rang out from the thunderstorm.

"Lightning element, is that all you've got? Not enough? Increase the power!"

Although the mocked thunderous behemoth did not understand Shadow Anno's meaning, the loud laughter coming from the thunder made it instinctively increase its attack power.

Clang! Clang! Clang...

A dense barrage of lightning bolts struck the shadow below from the thunderclouds.

At first, the shadow would taunt a couple of times while being bombarded, but the density and intensity of the lightning later tore it to shreds, leaving it with no energy left to provoke the lightning behemoth.

My body can't take it anymore!

The shadow, already blasted into a bloody mess, gritted its teeth and desperately used the magic runes on its body to stimulate its cells and increase its physical strength to withstand the lightning.

But the cells seemed to have reached their limit and were simply not enough to withstand the thunder.

Shadow had no choice but to endure for a while, then use [Devouring Rebirth] to recover from its injuries before enduring again.

"The method is wrong!"

As Shadow felt his injuries worsening, he realized that activating the second berserk state was not the same as before, where he used magic runes to strengthen his body.

However, only He Zeng had successfully activated the second berserk mode before.

However, He Zengke did not tell Anuo about this method.

In this current timeline, He Zeng has not yet comprehended the Second Berserk.

"Where exactly did we go wrong?"

The shadow fell into thought.

In this world, creatures grow stronger primarily by increasing their physical attributes through level upgrades, while skills involve harnessing collective magic or faith power to unleash powerful attacks.

Secret techniques like [Wild Frenzy] allow one to break through the limitations of the physical body and reach a higher realm.

Ordinary people cannot withstand the physical pressure brought by [Wild Frenzy].

After Anno's ninth-tier summons were changed to gods, they could withstand [Wild Frenzy] for a longer period of time.

However, without the blessing, even if they break through the limitations of mortal bodies due to [Berserk], they are unable to unleash god-level skills other than [King's Power].

Ultimately, it's because ninth-tier summons don't possess god-level skills, so they naturally can't use god-level skills after going berserk.

However, god-level skills can only be learned after reaching god-level, thus creating an unbreakable cycle.

"Wait a moment!"

The shadow suddenly remembered something.

When he was first transported to this space-time, he lost his memory and his soul was damaged, causing his level to keep regressing.

In the end, Anno's level was only low-level.

However, at this time, Anno not only still had physical attributes, but also had not forgotten his skills—meaning they were removed from the skill list, but he could not use them temporarily.

After the soul injury and the seal are lifted, Anno can still use the abilities he possesses.

"Perhaps ranking isn't just about the physical body, but also about the soul!"

Shadow felt as if it had suddenly found its blind spot.

【Wild Frenzy】 uses the Frenzy Rune to stimulate the cells in the body, thereby achieving a significant enhancement over a period of time.

However, after the physical body is enhanced, in order to continue to improve strength, the soul must also be enhanced.

Otherwise, it would become a case of the soul limiting the body's potential.

"Because his soul was sealed, his level kept dropping and he couldn't use his skills."

The shadow's eyes gleamed, and it muttered to itself, "Perhaps strengthening the soul is the only way out!"

After having this idea, Shadow couldn't wait to try it out.

After unleashing the [Devouring World Reincarnation] technique above, he closed his eyes and immersed himself in his own world of consciousness.

In a short while, a chaotic world of consciousness formed Anno's soul in the center.

Then the shadow began etching magical runes onto the soul.

At this point, Shadow discovered that the magic runes etched with magic power were completely ineffective on the soul.

However, when the shadow invoked the power of faith, its soul began to react.

"It can do it!"

The shadow looked at the demonic runes that were beginning to appear on the soul's body and felt a surge of joy.
