I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Looking at the guards who had dispersed again, Anno calmly said, "Don't come up here to die if you're not at the third rank!"

No one refuted Anno's words.

Although Anno brought several level 15 people with him.

But even if they can't beat them, they can at least exchange a move or two.

They went up there, and the person was gone.

"We used up all the third-tier magical beast souls we hunted in the Valley of Aushens, otherwise the battle would have been much easier!"

In order to blow up the hidden door wall of Count Wei's bedroom, Anno sacrificed fifty blue-level magical beast souls to learn the third-tier skill [Lion's Slash].

In addition, there were the soldiers who had previously blocked Augustine and the monsters that had been consumed in the treasure room.

These five Tier 3 magical beasts are Anno's final Tier 3 summons.

However, Anno's storage ring still contained some Tier 2 sacrificial materials.

With a wave of his hand, forty-five different summoned creatures suddenly appeared on the flat ground in front of Anno, startling Augustine and the others.

Subsequently, these summoned creatures rushed towards Count Demon, attacking in conjunction with the third-tier summoned creatures.

Anno occasionally uses [War Song] to heal the Tier 3 summons that serve as his main force.

When a Tier 2 summoned creature has low HP, it will self-destruct!

Upon hearing the explosions, the soldiers and mercenaries rushing towards the Earl's castle quickened their pace considerably.

The sound of the explosions clearly indicated that the fighting was intense.

If we run too slowly, it will be troublesome if Count Wilhelm settles the score with us later.

"roar!"

Although Count Weir's demonic body was not torn to pieces by the self-explosion of the level 15 summon.

But I was still dizzy from the explosion.

In Anno's view, Count Weir's health was initially reduced by only 300-500 after the first explosion.

But as the injuries worsened, each subsequent explosion reduced its health by at least 1000!

Generally speaking, once your health drops to half of its total value, it can be defined as a serious injury.

Their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced due to injuries.

However, when Count the Demon was covered in blood from the explosion and his health was down to only 5, he suddenly repelled the surrounding summons and let out a roar.

Then, something happened that surprised Anno and Lu Zhishang.

The souls of the human soldiers who had been killed nearby flew toward the demon Earl Waver and were swallowed whole by him!

As the first human soul was swallowed by the demon Count Waver.

A fist-sized wound on its abdomen is healing at a visible rate.

My health has also recovered to 2,000!

"They even have that trick up their sleeve!"

Anno immediately controlled his summoned creature to pounce on the opponent, interrupting the opponent's healing skill, while looking in Lu Zhishang's direction.

Lu Zhishang had already sat down cross-legged and was chanting incantations.

The souls of the surrounding soldiers began to gather towards Lu Zhishang again.

Count Wei, who was dealing with his summoned creatures, sensed that someone was trying to steal his soul. Ignoring the attacks from his summoned creatures, he rushed towards Lu Zhishang's location.

"You bedbug, how dare you steal my food!"

Count Wei grabbed a second-tier toothed dog from the ground and threw it at Lu Zhishang.

"snort!"

Anno snorted coldly, and the toothed dog in mid-air vanished into thin air.

Five seconds later, he was summoned back by Anno and rushed towards the demon Count Waver.

Besides the summoned creatures, Xue Feibai and the others also attacked Count Wei under Anuo's orders to prevent it from getting close to Lu Zhishang.

Before long, the souls of the dead soldiers around them all became nutrients for the growth of [Abstinence from Killing].

"Demons have the ability to devour souls to heal their injuries; I need to remember that. I just don't know if this is a common trait among all demons, or if Count Wei is unique!"

Regarding this information, Anno still leans towards the first guess.

After all, Count Werther was relatively weak.

You can tell from the battle.

It relies entirely on brute force, with absolutely no skill involved.

Aside from being transformed from humans, there's nothing particularly special about it.

Unable to absorb souls to heal its injuries, it managed to withstand attacks from summoned creatures and the crowd for ten minutes.

The demon Earl was on the verge of death.

However, in order to restrain Count Weir, Anno used up all of the hundreds of Tier 2 summoning materials he had stored.

Of the three-tier summons, only one silverback monkey remained.

Looking at the staggering Earl, a smile appeared on everyone's face.

Participating in the killing of level 20 demons will grant you a significant amount of experience.

I believe that after Count Weir's death, all of Anno's level 15 members in his team will be able to level up to level 16!

But suddenly, an unusual situation occurred with Count Wei, who only had 10,000 HP left.

"Augustine, save me! I am Wayne Dick!"

"You damned ants, you forced me into this situation. I'll kill you all and devour your souls!"

"Help me! Get the monster out of my body!"

Count Wei kept changing his tone, sometimes calling for help, sometimes threatening to kill everyone.

Augustine, who was watching from the sidelines, and several third-tier guards around him were somewhat puzzled by this scene.

Xue Feibai and Lu Zhishang, who were about to attack, paused, not daring to make a rash move.

Anno frowned, suddenly remembering the ring on Count Weir's hand, and immediately looked over.

The skull ring started flashing red again at some point.

An eerie atmosphere once again enveloped Anno's mind.

Count Weir's consciousness and demonic consciousness no longer alternated; only the demonic consciousness dominated his body.

It raised its left hand, pointing the finger adorned with the skull ring to the sky, its face contorted with madness despite its injuries.

"The great ruler of the abyss..."

Pfft!

A dark figure suddenly appeared in mid-air, a cold light flashing in its hand.

Count Wilhelm, who was about to chant the incantation, froze, his four fingers falling to the ground.

This includes the ring finger wearing a skull ring.

Before the severed ring finger even hit the ground, it was drained of its flesh and blood by the skull ring and turned to ashes.

The skull ring, now devoid of nourishment, fell to the ground, its red light flashing twice before fading.

The eerie atmosphere that had been hanging over everyone's hearts dissipated.

"call!"

Anuo let out a heavy sigh and gave Meng Xin a thumbs up for picking up the ring.

"here you go!"

Count Wei was clearly preparing to hold some kind of ceremony.

Fortunately, Meng Xin interrupted in time!

The skull ring was too sinister, so Anuo didn't dare let Mengxin take it and put it into her storage ring instead.

Without the skull ring, Count Weir's consciousness was fully restored.

He seemed somewhat confused about what was happening, and kept crying out in pain, asking the priest to treat him.

However, his current body is still that of a demon.

No priest would heal him.

Even if we take a step back and assume the worst, its current injuries cannot be healed unless a fourth or fifth-tier priest intervenes.

"Brother, I don't know your name, but could you tell me what exactly happened to the Earl?"

Augustine, accompanied by his guards, approached Anno and pointed to Count Werner, who was lying paralyzed on the ground in the distance, calling for help.

His tone was extremely humble, completely lacking the airs of the First Knight of Glad City.

Although the person in front of me only has a magic power level of 17, he was able to defeat Count Wei, who is level 20.

Augustine did not think he would be a match for his opponent.

"he?"

Anno picked up a long sword that someone had dropped from the ground and walked up to Count Wei.

"It's you! It's you! Augustine, come save me! He's trying to kill me!"

Count Werner was extremely excited when he saw Anno.

But no one came to his rescue.

"[Lion's Consecutive Slashes]!"

With a flash of light, Count Wey's head was severed.

Only then did Anno calmly say, "Didn't you see? It's just an incarnation of a demon!"
