I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

The explosion kicked up a cloud of smoke and dust.

After dodging a short distance, Anno broke out in a cold sweat.

"As expected of a fourth-tier combat skill!"

Even the thick-skinned demon could be sliced ​​open with a single strike.

With his body split in two, such a severe injury meant that even if Count Devil didn't die on the spot, he could only wait to die.

Therefore, Anno decisively allowed it to self-destruct.

"Demons are more suited to melee combat, and their maximum magical power is lower than that of the Ghosts. Even if Horace is at the epicenter of the explosion, he shouldn't be seriously injured!"

Anno kept an eye on the rising dust, ready to be attacked by Horace at any moment.

Just now, while using his fourth-tier skill, Horace also used the [Dash] skill to approach Anno.

Otherwise, with only a level difference between them and their physical abilities not being too different, Anno would have a chance to dodge the fourth-tier skill.

As the smoke cleared, Horace's figure came into Anno's view.

The self-destruction was too sudden, and Horace was unable to dodge it.

His clothes were blown to shreds, and blood was flowing down his arms!

It looks pretty bad.

However, Anno observed from the information panel that Horace only suffered minor injuries.

Horace had a skill that increased defense and resistance, which he used before the explosion.

When Horace saw Anor, he did not launch an attack immediately.

He was puzzled by the demon that had suddenly appeared in front of Anno.

"It self-destructed! To save a human, a demon actually self-destructed?"

Horace's eyes narrowed when he saw that the demon in front of him had vanished without a trace.

"Could it be a contractual item?"

The warlike and skilled demon race will not be easily captured by humans.

They often fight to the death.

Very few can become human contract objects!

Ordinary professionals would never have the opportunity to come into contact with demon prisoners.

Moreover, the sudden appearance of the contracted item is also strange.

Unless that demon has the ability to stealth.

Could it be that the person in front of me has some powerful background?

Horace hesitated.

If Anno has powerful connections, will he face retaliation if he kills the other party?

But soon, he became more determined.

Since they've already kidnapped and trafficked the elves, why should they be afraid of the people behind Anno?

Instead, they killed everyone present.

Only by dying and having no way to prove it can one survive!

Anno saw Horace standing there in a daze and unleashed a barrage of spells at him.

[Dark Serve] [Exploding Fireball] [Soul-Rending Claw]...

"It can also use magic!"

Horace's eyes narrowed as he dodged Anno's magical attack and rushed towards Anno.

He must be killed!

Horace broke through several magical barriers and charged forward.

Anno quickly held his longsword horizontally in front of him.

[Lion's Consecutive Slashes]!

Swish swish!

Five sword beams flew toward Horace.

Horace's eyes moved rapidly as he swiftly struck with his longsword, instantly blocking all five attacks of the [Lion's Consecutive Slashes].

Ding-dong, bang-bang, ding-bang...

The sound of weapons clashing came from where the two were, interspersed with the sounds of physical confrontation.

Anno gritted his teeth, focused intently on Horace's attack trajectory, and then blocked it.

As a warrior, Horace has a very high frequency of melee attacks.

Once he was in close combat, Anno was too busy defending himself to even have a chance to cast a spell.

Bang!

Anno was kicked in the chest by Horace and his body flew backward.

Before he even landed, Horace had already run to Anno's landing spot, his long sword raised.

They were just waiting for Anno to fly over before killing him.

"Do we need to use the Ghost Soul to help us now?"

Anno sensed Horace rushing forward, preparing to strike, and his heart skipped a beat.

After the battle began, Anno's plan was to hold back for the time being.

Find an opportunity to release dozens more ghostly spirits and instantly focus fire on Horace.

Only by severely injuring Horace will Anno have a chance to kill him!

Otherwise, if Horace saw dozens of ghosts appear, he might become afraid of fighting and want to run away.

Anno couldn't stop her at all.

Forcing the opponent to retreat is not what Anno wants.

Since we're going to fight, of course we should kill the other side to silence them!

However, a warrior who can grow to the fourth rank is indeed quite powerful in combat.

Despite being only one level behind, Anno was completely dominated by his opponent.

In close combat, Anno is no match for him!

"No, there's no need for Ghost Soul to appear yet!"

Anno roared inwardly, and instantly a large number of vines sprouted from the ground in the direction he was flying backward, entangled Anno as he flew past.

Second-tier spell: [Vine Binding]!

I used this skill when I rescued Laura in Glad City.

In terms of the number of skills, Anno has twice that of Horace!

Although the skill level is not high.

However, if used properly in battle, it can be quite effective.

Anno, whose body was pulled by the vines, dodged Horace's attack from behind.

Upon seeing this, the latter frowned and charged forward again.

The two started fighting again.

Anno felt a lot of pressure, and the number of wounds on her body increased.

Horace became increasingly surprised as the fight progressed.

Using basic attacks only gives you an advantage, but it won't kill Anno quickly.

But whenever he uses a skill, Anno takes advantage of the gap to cast a magic shield on himself or use other skills to clash with him.

Ordinary second- or third-tier skills are no match for Anno.

"Looks like I'll have to use [Cut Blade] one more time! His stamina is almost depleted; he definitely can't dodge!"

Seeing Anno panting heavily, Horace pushed Anno back, gripped his sword with both hands, and prepared to use his fourth-tier skill.

Upon seeing Horace's actions, Anno immediately realized that the latter was preparing to use his ultimate move.

The instant Horace swung his sword, Anno used [Resistance Aura]!

An invisible force instantly pushed Horace's body backward.

Although the third-tier [Resistance Aura] did not completely push Horace away, it did make him stagger.

"There's a flaw!"

Anno's eyes widened instantly.

With a thought, dozens of third-tier Nether Souls instantly appeared around him.

All the ghostly spirits unleashed the [Soul-Tearing Claw] skill upon Horace!

A flurry of claw-like blades flew toward Horace, who was three meters away.

When Horace was affected by the [Resistance Aura], he became wary.

But he never expected that a group of ghosts would suddenly appear around Anuo!

As the claws swept across his field of vision, Horace remembered something a soldier had said earlier.

"There really are ghosts!"

boom!

After the claws flew toward Horace, a series of explosions followed.

Anno's expression changed, and he quickly jumped back to create distance.

The explosion was caused by Horace's rapid sword swings as a defense against the Soul-Rending Claw.

"Heh heh~!"

Horace, surrounded by the ghostly spirits, roared and raised his longsword, unleashing a massive blade of light.

The blade's edge collided with dozens of Soul-Tearing Claws, producing a deafening roar.

Horace's body was blasted more than ten meters away.

Before he could get up, dozens of ghostly spirits floated over and surrounded him.
