I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

In the distance, Anno, who was running towards them, stopped abruptly when he saw Asar's eyes flashing red.

It was Anno who just reminded Asa.

Although the level difference was more than 10 levels, [All-Seeing Eyes] could not see Caras's information, but he could see that no soul was rising from the corpse.

This indicates that the lich is not dead, or at least not completely dead.

However, even with Anno's warning, Asar still fell for it.

Seeing Asar's body use magic to create a magic circle with his blood, Anor felt something was wrong and quickly retreated.

As the magic circle spread, Anno felt a wave of weakness, which disappeared the next second.

Because he was just at the edge of the magic circle, but now he has run out of the magic circle's range.

Anno continued to widen the distance while looking back.

The magic circle extends for a radius of 200 meters, centered on Asar's body.

Except for a few humans and monsters who were already injured and failed to escape the magic circle, all other humans and monsters escaped despite the negative weakening effect of the magic circle.

Meanwhile, the wounded who remained within the magic circle's range were gradually devoured by the formation amidst their screams of agony.

In less than half a minute, in addition to the hundreds of corpses already within the magic circle, all the wounded inside were killed.

......

Northern part of the continent of Angomulos.

This is the territory of the Demon King's army, and all areas are filled with monsters.

The ferocious monsters fought each other, and those that survived and grew stronger could move closer to the Demon King's castle.

Until one day, their strength was recognized by the Demon King's Castle, and they joined the Demon King's Castle.

At this moment, in a dark and gloomy city hundreds of kilometers west of the Demon King's city, countless undead creatures were roaming.

At the northern end of the city, a castle is built against a cliff.

In the great hall, the Lich King, seated on a throne made of skeletons, suddenly opened his eyes.

"This location... seems to be the southern tip of the continent!"

The eerie blue flames in the Lich King Sawyer Dijour flickered.

"Why don't the flesh and soul of the offerings used to activate the magic circle match up? Why are so many souls missing?"

Although this level of magic array couldn't teleport me there in the first place, the array is incomplete without so many souls. Even mid-level undead creatures of the fourth or fifth tier can't be teleported there!

This lich named Casal is really lame!

However, for the sake of faith, I still have to respond.

"Then that's the only way!"

......

"Hey, look over there on the battlefield, what's going on?"

"What a huge magic circle!"

"Was it released from our side?"

"That should be it. I heard that the Third Prince has a fourth-tier mage guard by his side!"

"Doesn't that mean we're guaranteed to win?"

"Is there any need to say more? This is His Highness personally leading the expedition; defeating the remnants of the demons is a piece of cake for him."

Neither the mercenaries nor the adventurers realized the problem.

After all, they were a kilometer away from the battlefield.

However, Anno, Tester, and the guards on the battlefield all personally felt the heart-palpitating oppressive feeling emanating from the magic circle.

"Brother!" Selena glanced at the magic circle not far away and suggested, "Let's retreat first. This magic circle looks very dangerous."

"hateful!"

Tester held a fist-sized, dazzling crystal in his hand, his eyes darting around before he finally put it back into his storage ring and had the commander sound the retreat signal.

Upon hearing the retreat horn, the soldiers at the front immediately began to retreat.

At this moment, Anno had already run to Tester's side.

Anno felt that the magic circle was very dangerous.

As the third prince, Tester must have some trump cards up his sleeve; it's safest to get close to him.

"Anno, you actually dare to come here?"

When Selena saw Anno running over, she was furious and drew her spear, pointing it at Anno.

Before Anno could utter his prepared explanation, a new change suddenly occurred at the magic circle.

Knock knock~!

Everyone, including the fleeing soldiers, couldn't help but turn their gaze to the enormous heart floating in the center of the magic circle.

The heart was ten meters in size and covered with suture marks, looking like a collection of many hearts.

However, due to the incompleteness of the magic circle, the surface of this huge heart was covered with cracks, and a large amount of black gas was emanating from the cracks.

dong dong!

dong dong!

His heart was beating faster and faster, as if by magic, and Anno and Tester, who were hundreds of meters away, could clearly hear the heartbeat.

It felt like it was throbbing right next to my ear.

Five seconds after being teleported, the cracked heart suddenly emitted several beams of black light before exploding with a deafening roar.

The black light illuminated an area extending a full kilometer, turning the region into a place where even light could not penetrate.

A semi-circular, pitch-black light shield appeared on the grassland, enveloping the surrounding monsters, soldiers, including Anno and Tester.

Even some of the mercenaries and adventurers watching from afar on the mountaintop were enveloped in the dark light barrier.

"Holy crap, what is this thing?"

"Sera is inside the light shield." A mercenary noticed that his friend, who was only a body length away from him, was enveloped in the light shield, so he reached out and touched the light shield next to him.

The moment his hands touched the light shield, the mercenary felt his soul being sucked away, and his pupils disappeared, leaving only the whites of his eyes.

The heart stops beating, blood vessels bulge, and the flesh on the body begins to stiffen, like a zombie.

"Awoo~!"

The mercenary let out a beast-like growl, then pounced on the person next to him, tearing at them with his jaws wide open amidst the astonished expressions of those around him.

"Ah, you're crazy! Help!"

The person who was bitten tried to push away his friend, but with his throat torn open, he gradually lost his strength.

This is not an isolated case.

Many people touched the dark light shield just now and turned into mindless zombie creatures.

"Everyone be careful, don't touch the light shield!"

"These people are crazy, find a way to control them."

"This must be the work of a demon!"

"Damn it, our Hyena Mercenary Group's leader is inside the light barrier!"

"Your Highness! Your Highness is also inside the light barrier!"

A group of mercenaries, led by Warwick and Linda, brought the crazed mercenaries and adventurers under control.

After discovering that they had no heartbeats, the two decisively gave the order to kill the zombies.

These zombies are no different in level from when they were alive, and because they are low-level, they have virtually no active skills and are not difficult to deal with.

Those professionals who were bitten or scratched by them were quickly assimilated.

After Xue Feibai and the others gathered all the adventurers and retreated, they felt somewhat anxious.

"Anno...I hope nothing happened to Anno!"

Lü Yan looked at Xue Feibai, Mark, and Hansen with an expression that suggested she was about to cry.

The two men had somber expressions and remained silent.

However, Liz, wrapped in a black robe, said anxiously, "Master is still alive, but he doesn't know how much longer he can hold on. The soldiers and monsters affected by the black shroud are gathering towards them."

As soon as Liz finished speaking, the dark light barrier in the distance disappeared.

The group quickly climbed back up the hill, and then saw a dazzling white light shield, more than ten cubic meters in size, slowly shatter below, revealing a group of people inside.

It was Anno and Tester, among others.

As the crystal in Tester's hand shattered and the white light shield disappeared, the human soldiers around them, who had been transformed into zombies by the black light, rushed towards them.
