I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Anno, who was fighting the lizardmen, turned his head to look after sensing the powerful magical fluctuations coming from the center of the battlefield.

"Such powerful magic! This is fourth-tier magic!"

Although separated by hundreds of meters, Anno could clearly see the lich being injured by Jonas's magic and then chopped into pieces by Asar on the plains using the [Far Vision] skill.

"Did we win?"

Anno's eyes lit up.

Once the lich dies, the monster army, without a strong leader, will soon be defeated by the human army.

But what happened next made Anno's heart tighten.

After the white-bearded old man picked up the lich's black wand, he actually began attacking the warrior with three scars on his face.

"What happened?"

Although Anno could see that far, he couldn't hear what was being said over there.

"Aww!"

The lizardman, who had been left standing aside by Anno, let out a cry and charged at the distracted Anno, brandishing his curved blade.

"【Crossblade】!"

Two intersecting sword beams shot out from the longsword in Anno's hand, striking the charging lizardmen one after the other.

This is a second-tier combat skill that Anno just exchanged for with 50 yellow-level souls.

Before the lizardman could dodge, the hard skin on his chest was instantly cut open, and blood gushed out.

Pfft!

The lizardman, whose internal organs had been shredded by the sword's edge, clutched his chest and knelt on the ground.

My 6000 health points were barely depleted in the 'evenly matched' battle with Anno just now.

But it is currently dropping at a rate of 1000 points per second.

A fatal blow will result in certain death!

A few seconds later, the yellow lizardman's soul was absorbed into Anno's body, and he also gained 300 experience points.

Anno's current experience points are 800/10000.

After Anno used his longsword to remove the lizard's tail, claws, and tongue, he summoned a level 11 lizardman on the spot because the tail took up too much space, and then quickly recalled it back to the summoning space.

After doing all this, Anno turned back to look at the center of the battlefield and found that Jonas and Asar were already fighting.

Not only Anno witnessed this scene, but also the human guards fighting around them and Tester behind them.

"What's going on? Why is Magister Jonas attacking Asar?"

The female knight, Serena, Tester's sister, looked at the two who had started fighting in the distance with a puzzled expression.

Tester said grimly, "Liches are not only difficult to kill, but they also have many tricks up their sleeves. It seems Jonas has fallen victim to them!"

"How could this be? That's a level 25 mage!" Selena exclaimed in disbelief.

The kingdom's strongest mage is a seventh-tier mage, rumored to be level 40, just one step away from the eighth tier.

But even as a prince and princess, Selena rarely saw such a guardian mage.

A level 25 mage like Jonas is already considered an elite in the kingdom.

On the front lines fighting the Demon King's army, the majority of the players are second- or third-tier professionals between levels 11 and 20, while level 25 peak fourth-tier professionals are rarely seen on the battlefield.

"Johnnas is likely in grave danger. We should cut our losses and order Asa to eliminate the out-of-control Johnnas!"

Upon hearing Tester's order, a level 16 officer nearby immediately mounted his warhorse and charged into battle.

"Lord Asar, His Highness the Prince has ordered the execution of the uncontrollable mage Jonas!"

The officer charged into the battlefield, braving the monsters' attacks, and shouted at Asar, who was dodging magic.

"You want me to attack Jonas?"

A look of shock flashed across Asa’s face at first, then his gaze hardened as he looked at Jonas, whose body was beginning to rot.

"Perhaps Jonas is already dead!"

After receiving Tester's instructions, Asa switched from a defensive stance and began attacking Jonas.

Because the black wand was cracked and the body had only just been taken over, the lich Jonas was unable to unleash even 80% of his fighting power!

Even the most powerful necromancy, [Undead Domain], cannot be used.

In this way, it was no match for Asa at all.

Moreover, Asar's attacks were always aimed at the black staff.

During the battle, he had deduced that the core of the lich in front of him was the black wand, or rather, the black gem embedded in the black wand.

"This time, I won't make a mistake!"

After using his dash ability to close the distance, Asar once again cleaved the lich into pieces, then slashed his greatsword at the black gem on his wand.

boom!

The black gemstone, already riddled with cracks, instantly disintegrated.

The surviving undead skeletons on the battlefield collapsed and fell to the ground at that moment.

"It's over! Jonas, rest in peace!"

Asa sheathed his sword, glanced at Jonas's corpse, and a look of sorrow appeared in his eyes.

There was a moment of silence over the surrounding battlefield.

Although ordinary soldiers and monsters are engaged in life-or-death battles, they are also paying attention to battles that can influence the overall course of the war.

After fighting for so long, there are still a little over two thousand soldiers left.

The number of monsters has dwindled to about 2,500, of which only about 200 are below level 11.

One-third of the soldiers' deaths were caused by the addition of hundreds of undead skeletons.

But now that the lich is dead, although the human side has also lost a level 25 mage, there is still a level 25 warrior standing on the battlefield.

"Victory belongs to His Highness! Everyone, kill!"

Asar roared at the surrounding area, and the morale of the nearby soldiers instantly soared. They charged towards the monsters around them as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

Asar intended to deal with the stronger monsters around him, but suddenly a familiar figure ran up to him and shouted, "Watch out, the lich isn't dead yet!"

At the same time, Asa suddenly felt a chill on his soul level, and goosebumps rose all over his body.

He immediately turned around, looking warily at Jonas's corpse and the shattered black crystal.

Jonas's body showed no abnormalities, but a black mist the size of a human head suddenly rose from the shattered black crystal, constantly churning.

The black mist flew into the air, revealing two crimson points of light that stared straight at Asa, accompanied by screams and wails like those of vengeful ghosts.

"No! I, Casas, shouldn't fall here! I shouldn't fall here! [Bewitching]!"

The room was filled with flickering red light. Asa felt as if his head had been hit by a heavy hammer, his soul was severely damaged, and his mind was momentarily dazed.

Taking advantage of this moment, the black mist flew to Asa and entered through his nostrils, mouth, and ears.

Unlike the one that possessed Jonas's body, the lich Carthus's core was now shattered, and he was on the verge of death.

【Bewitching】can only temporarily control Asar.

However, for Carsas, that was enough.

Carthus picked up Jonas's wand, then used Asar's weapon to pierce Asar's heart and made several other holes in his body.

Large amounts of blood gushed out, but it swam around Carsas in a regular pattern.

A magic circle is slowly taking shape!

"Great Lich King! Carthus offers you his flesh and soul, and is willing to return to your embrace."

Please answer the humble plea of ​​Carthus and descend upon this place!

hum!

The magic circle formed from blood beneath Carthus's feet emitted a dark red light, attracting the attention of everyone around.

In the next instant, the magic circle suddenly expanded, covering an area within a 200-meter radius!

The corpses and blood on the ground were continuously absorbed by the magic array, making the red light even stronger, and an ominous aura enveloped the hearts of everyone around.

Even the surviving humans and demons gradually felt their life force decreasing and frantically fled towards the outside of the formation.
