I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

As Anno's summoned creatures, Asar and the other fourth-tier summoned creatures were completely unaffected by the mist.

If you encounter a sea creature like Asar that launches a sneak attack from the mist, you can dodge the attack and survive for the time being if you are quick.

But they only lived a little longer.

Anno took the opportunity to expend 10,000 mana to summon two fourth-tier sea creatures—their souls were absorbed during the battle, and the sacrificial materials were taken from the corpses at his feet.

Disguising oneself as a summoned creature of the sea race and assassinating lone sea race members in the mist couldn't be easier.

Who would have thought that the living, breathing brother standing before me was already dead?

The enemy doesn't even spare souls.

Summon back the dead to assist in the battle!

The catfish monster, in any case, hadn't expected this.

After dodging Asar's attack, it was ambushed from behind by a sea creature that struck it in a vital spot with a dagger.

Severely wounded, it could only wait for Anno to slaughter it!

The level 23 sea creature directly gave Anno a 5% experience boost!

Then, Anno dealt with all the sea creatures in the mist one by one.

Including previous accumulations, Anno's current level experience has increased to 62%.

"【Mist Summoning】is very useful in this situation. Using summons where others can't see them eliminates the risk of being detected!"

Anno felt a sense of satisfaction after acquiring more than a dozen orange souls.

The only pity is...

The current range of [Mist Summoning] is not large.

Otherwise, we should recruit a few more sea creatures.

After the fog cleared, Anno led Liz and Sassi out of the fog unharmed.

The humans and sea creatures still engaged in fierce fighting around them were shocked when they saw the sea creature corpse beside Anno.

What exactly happened inside the fog?

Why were three level 21 beings able to eliminate more than a dozen fourth-tier sea creatures in such a short time?

Even Ashe, who had previously said Anno was beyond saving, was stunned.

He hadn't even escaped the clutches of the sea creatures and withdrawn from the battlefield yet.

As it turned out, Anno had already killed a group of sea creatures and escaped danger!

"This guy's strength is truly hidden!"

Ashe squinted at Anno, but quickly turned her attention back to the battle in front of her.

The crab monster's shell was so thick that Ashe's arrows and hunting knife couldn't penetrate it.

The octopus monster has many tentacles that are very flexible, and even if Ashe cuts off a few, they can regenerate quickly.

If it were just these two, Ashe could handle them.

But there were several level 24 sea creatures around him.

In this situation, even Ashe was somewhat powerless.

"We were all careless. We never expected that a mere dragon that had just advanced to the fifth rank could be backed by a sea race!"

Aisha warily watched the sea creature in front of her, her towering chest rising and falling with her breath.

Having traveled to many places with Green, she was well-informed and recognized the enemy in front of her.

Compared to the land, the vast ocean is home to many more powerful creatures!

These races that live in the sea are collectively known as sea peoples.

At this moment, Ashe felt somewhat desperate.

After Green shouted the warning that "the enemy is at level six," most of the human professionals ran away.

Those who are still fighting now are not unwilling to run away.

Instead, they were entangled in it.

I wonder how the battle is going on Green's side.

If it weren't for Phil, Ashe could still have escaped.

But for her to abandon Phil is completely impossible.

"Phil, I'll hold off the enemy for a bit. You find a chance to leave the Aier Mountains!"

"Sister Ash, what do you want to do?" Phil wasn't stupid; she immediately understood the meaning of "going to one's death" in Ash's words.

"Phil, this is the only way, and the best way!"

As Ashe parried the enemy's attacks, she shouted without turning her head, "Run!"

"My dear elf friend, do you need help?"

Aisha, who was locked in a fierce battle, immediately withdrew from the fight upon hearing this voice. She looked at Anno with a puzzled expression, "Human, we didn't help you earlier, and now you're helping us?"

Although Anno and Aisha had known each other for a long time, Aisha had always been very cold towards Anno.

It should be said that Ashe is indifferent to all humans.

This is the complete opposite of the innocent and kind-hearted Phil.

Even after being kidnapped by humans, the latter still believed that Tina would help him.

Anno originally wanted to help because of Green and Phil.

Upon hearing Aisha's question, Anno paused for a moment, his eyes darting around.

Isn't this an opportunity to extort money from others?

"Of course I didn't help for nothing!"

Anno pointed to the adventurer's badge on his chest and said, "A fee is required! One bottle, no, two bottles of diluted Fountain of Life!"

The fountain of life for elves is a wonderful thing.

Last time, Green gave Anno three bottles, and Anno drank one of them and recovered from his injuries.

The other two bottles have been kept in my storage ring; I can't bear to use them.

"As expected, humans are all greedy!"

Upon hearing that Anno had a request, Aisha actually breathed a sigh of relief.

She agreed to Anno's request and, during the battle with the sea creatures, came to Anno's side and delivered the diluted Fountain of Life ahead of time—the two had been fighting the sea creatures while talking.

"The commission has been accepted!"

Anno stored the Fountain of Life in his storage ring, clasped his hands together, and shouted.

Instantly, Anno's body began to emit large amounts of mist, which spread rapidly in all directions.

The sea monsters aren't stupid either.

Having just witnessed Anno, a human at only level 21, eliminate more than a dozen of his companions using the mist, everyone knows there's something wrong with the mist.

Ashe was willing to believe that Anno, at level 21, was capable of breaking the deadlock, also because of the opponent's fog of war skill.

However, while the fog spread quickly, the sea creatures retreated even faster.

In the blink of an eye, there was no living being around Anno except for Phil, who looked on with admiration, and Ash, who was stunned.

"This fog is evil!"

Aisha stood beside Anno, sensing the surrounding mist, her beautiful brows furrowing unconsciously.

Anno shrugged, thinking to himself: As long as something from the underworld works, that's enough!

Taking advantage of the absence of enemies, Anno tossed Phil onto Sassil's back and rode with Liz out of the forest.

The mist is Anno's summoned creature.

It needs Anno's magic to exist.

So when Anno moves, the fog also moves.

"Wait a minute, what about me?"

Ashe below grew anxious when she saw Anno preparing to leave on his giant wolf.

Anno was preparing to leave because he had just discovered something.

Almost all humans who can run have run away.

The sea creatures have now freed up their resources.

A large number of sea creatures had already gathered around Anno and Aisha.

If this drags on any longer, a fifth-tier sea creature who has defeated its opponent might arrive.

If Ashe were left here now, even without Phil's help, she wouldn't be able to escape.

"There's no room left, hurry up and run. Don't worry, the fog will keep enveloping us!"

After Anno finished speaking, he told Sassi to start running back the way they came.

"That damned guy!"

Ash was so angry she wanted to bite her teeth.

How could such a big wolf not be able to fit such a small and thin elf?

But all she could do was run on her long legs, following closely behind Sasser.

Elves are very agile and actually quite fast.

So Ashe was still able to keep up with Sassi's speed.

After running for about ten minutes, Anno only told Sassi to stop when he realized there were no pursuers behind them—the fog had been dispelled during the escape.

After running all the way, Ashe was already drenched in sweat, and her hair was stuck together with sweat.

Anno stepped forward with a beaming smile, extending his hand and saying, "Mission accomplished, time to pay the balance!"

"Bad review! I'm giving you a bad review!"
