I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

"Huff... huff!"

Anno was breathing heavily, his whole body soaked in sweat as if he had just been pulled out of a water tank.

"Is this the power of the gods? Even though they're a level lower than me, a single skill almost forced me to my knees!"

Anno completely abandoned the idea of ​​seizing godhood.

The shadow under my feet returned to normal.

Watching Philomena's departing figure, Anno finally breathed a sigh of relief.

perhaps.

Not having the strength to seize the divine status of a summoner isn't necessarily a bad thing.

"Master, are you alright?"

Liz walked over and asked with concern.

She had just been under Philomena's oppressive aura and couldn't move at all.

Anno snapped out of his thoughts and turned to look at Ella, who was being watched by Sassi in the distance.

Because of the distance, Ella did not hear Anno and Philomena's conversation.

Aside from her white hair, Ella's face is almost identical to Liz's.

However, Ella's eyebrows exuded an aura of lust.

It is easier to arouse a man's inner desires.

"Stop trying to charm me, I'm not falling for that!"

Anno walked over and watched Ella begin to unleash her allure, saying nonchalantly, "Ella, the Soul-Eating Succubus, I'm curious about what happened to you after that great battle."

The great battle that Anno mentioned was the battle between Tester and the remnants of the Demon King's Seventh Army, which were newly formed by the Kingdom.

Although I don't know how Ella survived.

But the fact that she could become the dragon's messenger in the eyes of the sea creatures shows that Ella's experience was extraordinary.

Ella scoffed and said, "Why do you think I'd tell you?"

Ella's answer did not surprise Anno.

He gave Sasser a look.

The latter transformed into human form to Ella's astonishment, and then brought Ella before Anno.

Anno grabbed Ella's small hand, looked at it carefully for a while, and said in surprise, "It's really hard to imagine that a dragon would sign an equal contract with a succubus."

Your level must have increased so quickly with Adelaide's help.

Unfortunately, you haven't fully digested this power yet.

That's why you can't even beat a level 21 opponent.

An equal contract is between two equal parties, and there are no requirements regarding the social status of the signatories.

The only requirement is that both parties must be willing.

Therefore, Adelaide is at the fifth rank, and Ella is at the fourth rank.

"So what if it is?"

Ella glared at Anno in front of her and threatened, "Adelaide respects me. If you kill me, he will definitely seek revenge on you in the future."

If you're targeted by a dragon, you'll live in fear for the rest of your life!

Of course, if you release my sister from her contract now and let us leave.

I promise Adelaide won't come looking for you again!

After hearing this, Anno laughed and said to Liz, "Your sister has quite a sense of humor!"

"You!" Ella was furious and was about to say something when Liz stopped her.

"Sister, Master wouldn't harm you. He risked his life to save you before, so tell him what you know!"

"Liz! Have you lost your mind? This human is someone who signed a contract with you to enslave you, and you're actually speaking up for him!"

Ella looked at Liz in disbelief.

"My...sister, Master is so good to me!"

Liz clung to Ella's arm and advised, "You have too many misunderstandings about Master. Once you spend more time with him, you'll understand what kind of person he is!"

Ella turned and glared angrily at Anno, her eyes red as she roared, "Human, what have you done to my sister?"

Even a slave contract only gives the master control over the slave's life and prevents the slave from harming the master.

But the contract could not change the slave's mind.

The thing that every slave most desires most is probably to kill their master!

But Liz's behavior didn't seem like she was being forced to sign a slave contract at all.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to speak up for Anno from beginning to end.

Ella suspected that Anno must have done something else to Liz.

Anno lifted Ella's chin, looked her straight in the eye, and said, "It seems you're really worried about Liz. Don't worry, Liz is my right-hand woman, I would never harm her!"

However, don't think I won't kill you.

I'm actually a very selfish person. If your existence threatens my safety, I will eliminate you without hesitation!

"Hehehe..."

Upon hearing this laughter, Ella's pupils contracted.

She glanced to the side and saw that the person who had defeated her earlier had appeared beside her at some point, staring at her with murderous intent.

Even the dagger in Shadow's hand had already touched Ella's exposed waist and abdomen.

The cold dagger sent a shiver down Ella's spine.

Seeing this, Liz, looking panicked, begged Anno for mercy.

"Master, please don't be angry. Let me try to persuade my sister again! Sister, I beg you, please don't make Master angry anymore. As long as you listen to Master, Master won't hurt you!"

Ella was now completely lost.

Aren't the humans in front of us and the humans who defeated us two different people?

I heard from those three sixth-tier beings that the person who defeated them was named Anno, and apparently he was quite famous.

Why would I be here?

What exactly is the nature of this human in front of me?

Seeing Anno's face growing darker and darker, and with the dagger in Shadow's hand already piercing her skin, coupled with her sister's persuasion, Ella finally couldn't hold on any longer.

She also needs to rescue her sister from the humans in front of her.

I can't die here.

"In the battle a few months ago, because the human army was so strong, I was wounded and forced to retreat to the rear shortly after joining the fight..."

Ella began to recount her experiences.

Because she retreated to the rear of the battlefield, she was fortunate enough to escape the explosion of the cursed heart and fled back to the Aier Mountains with a small number of wounded soldiers.

Later, when her subordinates discovered that humans had entered the Aier Mountains, Aila realized that humans had won the battle.

Fearing that the humans had come to exterminate them, Ella led the surviving monsters to hide in the mountains.

Until one day, Ella encountered Adelaide, who had fallen into the mountains and was seriously injured.

Adelaide was seriously injured in the Sunset Land.

When it flew to the Aiur Mountains, it plunged into them, lay flat on the ground, and didn't move for a long time.

Ella encountered a heavily wounded dragon and intended to kill it.

However, Adelaide was only seriously injured and still had some fighting ability.

At the time, Ella was only level 15 and didn't dare to risk killing a powerful dragon.

So Ella turned around and helped Adelaide recover from her injuries.

Ella never expected that such a gesture would deeply move Adelaide.

After its injuries had slightly healed, it took the initiative to sign an equal contract with Ella.

Later, Adelaide took Ella hunting at the edge of the Storm Sea to level up.

It was around that time that Adelaide broke through from the fourth tier to the fifth tier.

Ella has also reached level 25!

"A while ago, Adelaide and I went hunting as usual, but we encountered a large number of sea creatures. They were very strong, and there were even sixth-tier experts among them. Adelaide was no match for them."

Ella recalled, "In the midst of the crisis, I lied to the sea people. I deceived them by claiming to be a messenger of the dragons."

I could sense that the sea creatures were very skeptical, but because the dragons were both evil and powerful, they dared not risk becoming enemies with them!

So we were left in the sea creatures' camp.

The purpose of this group of sea creatures coming ashore is to gather intelligence on the human kingdoms on land, and we can provide them with that intelligence.
