I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

After the violent explosion, a deep crater was left in the center!

Horace left only a few charred pieces and broken armor in the pit.

"Phew!"

Feeling his experience increase by a third, Anno let out a heavy sigh of relief, tried to get up but fell back to the ground.

"Kill him!"

Anno suddenly heard shouts of killing coming from the side.

Looking up, I saw the soldiers who had been hiding far away.

During the battle between Anno and Horace, the [poison] that Anno had planted on two soldiers beforehand was detonated by him using [Calamity].

A large number of soldiers around them were infected. The priests stayed behind to save people, and only less than ten guards went to chase after Liz and Yarman and a few others who were trying to escape.

After the other soldiers had the [poison] removed, they hid a short distance away, waiting for Horace to deal with Anno.

Unexpectedly, dozens of ghosts suddenly appeared on the field, and Horace was instantly at a disadvantage.

Just as the soldiers were about to rush forward to help, they saw Horace suddenly unleash his full power, wiping out all the ghosts on the battlefield with a single blow and severely injuring Anno.

Before the soldiers could even celebrate, forty more ghosts appeared before Anno, forcing Horace into a desperate situation.

Finally, Horace died in a tremendous explosion!

"That person is dying! Quick, go kill that person!"

A soldier saw Anno lying on the ground trying to get up, and knew that Anno was also seriously injured.

Now is the best time to kill Anno.

Anno's condition is indeed not good.

Horace had previously used his charged [Cut Blade] to kill dozens of Tier 3 Ghost Souls and almost hit Anno.

Even though she managed to dodge, Anno was still caught in the crossfire and seriously injured.

But these soldiers forgot something very important!

Ghostly Soul!

"Whoosh!"

Several Soul-Tearing Claws flew towards Anno, but after being devoured by World-Devouring Reincarnation, they began to transform into life force to heal Anno's injuries.

After attacking Anno, 20 level 20 Ghost Souls faced the charging soldiers.

For human professionals who lack area-of-effect attacks, a ghost of the same level is extremely difficult to deal with.

Although the number of soldiers was twice that of the Wraiths, they were no match for them.

Soon after, screams of agony echoed from the scene!

Anno felt his wounds gradually healing and ignored the soldiers' screams.

"If it weren't for the [King's Power], and if I hadn't encountered the Ghost Clan in Graydream Town, I'd be the one dead now!"

Looking back now, it was a wise choice to use the Summoner Spell "Grant" to all summoned creatures.

The Ghost Soul Clan is a type of magic-based monster with a high magic power ceiling—due to individual differences, it cannot be ruled out that some Ghost Soul Clan members may become melee powerhouses.

Combined with [King's Power].

Each self-destruction is equivalent to the power of a fourth-tier weapon!

Unfortunately, Anno now only has about fifty Ghost Crystals left.

Including the remaining twenty Ghost Souls, Anno can still use [King's Power], which is equivalent to a fourth-tier skill, more than seventy times.

Every one we use is one less!

Although Anno possesses a formation that connects to the Demon Realm, which he seized in Gray Dream Town, this thing cannot be used carelessly.

In case of an unexpected situation, a powerful demonic creature might run through the passage, ignoring the restrictions of the formation.

Anno might be finished!

"Let's see if we can get more ghosts or other summons with high mana values ​​at the front lines!"

After all the soldiers had turned into corpses, Anno struggled to sit up.

His injuries had not yet healed, and he could barely move.

However, when Liz and the others were fleeing, they were pursued by a group of soldiers.

"Looks like we'll have to send our summoned creatures!"

Anno sensed the location of Liz and sent twenty nearby ghosts flying over there.

"By the way, where did that elf go?"

Anno remembered that the elves captured by the soldiers did not run away with Liz.

But apart from the corpses scattered on the ground and the unattended carriages, there were no elves at all.

After observing for a while, Anno turned his gaze to the carriages.

"Did you hide it?"

Summon a few new ghosts and send them to search the carriage.

Whizzing!

The ghostly figure flew swiftly to the carriage, lifting the curtain to search it one by one.

A short while later, in the carriage where the elven girl had been hiding, they found a trembling soldier and Phil, who had been knocked unconscious.

The soldier, finding Phil too disruptive, knocked him unconscious when Horace handed him over.

After Anno killed Horace, he ordered the Wraiths to attack the surviving soldiers, while he and Phil hid in this carriage.

"what!"

The soldier was startled when he met the gaze of the ghost who had lifted the curtain.

The hand gripping the knife tightened unconsciously, leaving a shallow bloodstain on Phil's neck.

"No...don't come any closer, or I'll kill her!"

The soldier pushed the unconscious Phil in front of him, holding a dagger to Phil's neck.

He knew that the ghost in front of him listened to the monster outside, so he made a threatening statement.

In the soldier's eyes, Anno was a complete monster.

Its true identity is likely that of a demon disguised as a human.

Otherwise, how could one command a ghost?

Anno frowned slightly when he saw the terrified expression on the level 17 soldier's face through the Ghost Soul.

"Elves?"

Anno's eyes darted around as he began to consider whether to save the elf, or... kill them all!

[Spirit Offering] should be able to absorb the souls of elves; Anno saw the patterns of elves on Philomena's throne.

However, this Pokémon is only level 10!

Killing it will only summon a first-tier spirit, which won't significantly improve your combat power.

While Anno hesitated, he sensed something and looked up in the direction where Liz was.

"Are you here to see her?"

Anno raised an eyebrow, as if he had seen something interesting.

He then withdrew his ghostly aura, patted his cheeks, put on an anxious expression, and shouted into the carriage, "Brother, don't be impulsive. As long as you release that elf, everything will be fine!"

"Let her go?"

Upon hearing Anno's voice, the soldier dragged Phil out of the carriage, looked in Anno's direction, and shouted, "What a joke! If I let her go, you monster will definitely kill me!"

I know, I know everything, you're a monster!

You probably want to kill me right now.

However, if you dare to lay a hand on me, I will kill this elf beforehand!

"If you want her to live, let me go and don't come after me!"

Upon hearing this, Anno gave a disdainful smile.

Level 17 only.

If Anno wanted to kill, he could have done so when Youpo opened the carriage curtain.

The other party had no time to react.

Even using Phil as a hostage didn't work.

The Ghost's [Intimidate] skill is no joke!

However, the show must continue for the sake of those who are about to arrive.

So Anuo began to patiently persuade the other party to calm down.

When Phil was dragged out, his head hit the carriage, and he woke up groggily.

Then he saw a man covered in blood and wounds, anxiously trying to persuade the soldiers who had restrained him.

"He was injured so badly, yet he still wanted to save me!"

Phil felt a surge of emotion, then yelled at Anno, "Don't worry about me! Run! He'll kill you!"
