I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Anno sensed the magical fluctuations emanating from Sheila and instantly knew that she had unleashed her signature spell, [Chaotic Wind Blade]!

Among the seven elements of magic—earth, fire, water, wind, thunder, light, and darkness—wind magic possesses the characteristics of cutting, concealment, and speed.

"Based on the information gathered previously, when Hilla is at full mana, she can use [Chaotic Wind Blade] about five times in a row."

Each release produces more than ten wind blades, each about one meter in size.

At the same time, he possesses the [Wind Barrier] which can block attacks, and the [Wind Arrow] is also quite powerful.

There are also several other wind-based spells, making them a formidable opponent.

Anno had watched several of Sheila's matches, and based on her performance in the ring and the traces left by each use of [Chaotic Wind Blade], she had roughly deduced information about [Chaotic Wind Blade].

Moreover, Tester had sent people to recruit him to get him into the top fifty.

In terms of ability, Sheila is a candidate that Tester is very satisfied with.

However, Sheila's background was that of the Viscount of Hull, so Tester gave up.

"The Viscount of Hel City's men must have already recognized me."

Anno held the round shield to his chest, his eyes slightly narrowed, and murmured softly, "Well, if they recognized me, they recognized me."

"The Blood Wolf Knight Anne has shown that most of his strength lies in the Silver Moon Blood Wolf. However, in the last battle, the Red-Headed Knight was defeated in an instant during the exchange, which shows that Anne has indeed been hiding his strength."

While Anno was analyzing Sheila's intelligence, Sheila was also analyzing Anno's intelligence.

"We absolutely cannot let the Blood Wolf Knight get close! That shield isn't magical; it can't withstand the [Chaotic Wind Blade] attack. Break his shield first!"

After determining the target of the attack, Hira waved her staff, and the transparent wind blades that had been hovering around her immediately spun and flew towards Anno.

The two sides were standing only fifty meters apart.

For wind magic, this is a distance that can be reached in the blink of an eye.

Anno has had his [Advanced Perception] skill active since he entered the arena.

But one can only vaguely sense the trails left by a large area of ​​wind blades in the air, like ripples on the surface of water.

The moment Anno sensed the ripples, he began to move left and right, dodging the incoming wind blades.

Ding ding... bang... pfft!

The wind blades struck the ground, instantly leaving behind knife marks more than a meter long.

Some of the attacks that weren't dodged were blocked by Anno's shield.

The shield, made of refined steel, was worth hundreds of gold coins. After blocking two attacks, it became four shields.

The remaining wind blades all struck Sassi, who was blocking Anno's path.

Three deep, bony wounds appeared on Sasser's back and hind legs.

Blood-red flesh was torn open, and fresh blood flowed freely.

This was just a glancing blow from the wind blade.

If it had hit perfectly, it would probably have resulted in someone losing an arm or a leg.

If it were someone else's mount, Sheila would be quite happy.

The mount has a leg injury, greatly reducing its mobility.

That's equivalent to breaking a knight's leg!

But Sheila knew that once Sassi transformed into her Blood Wolf form, her wounds would be instantly healed by magic.

As expected, after Sassi was seriously injured, she immediately activated [Blood Explosion].

His white hair turned blood red, and his body began to swell.

"As expected of the Wind Blade Mage, he forced the Blood Wolf Knight to transform prematurely with just one move."

"The Blood Wolf Knight's shield is damaged, and he's not wearing heavy armor. If he gets hit by the wind blades, he might be out of the game."

"Hera's wind blades are extremely powerful; even heavy armor might not be enough to withstand them. Magical equipment would be a bit better."

In the audience, the participants watching the match were also discussing the situation on the stage.

Overall, everyone believes that the Blood Wolf Knights have some trump cards up their sleeves.

However, they were three levels apart, and their opponent was an elite mage like Sheila.

Unless the Blood Wolf Knight can get close, he is very likely to lose.

However, Hillary understood this as well.

There are quite a few speed-boosting skills in wind magic, and Sheila must have mastered some of them.

It won't be easy for Ann to get close to Sheila.

If you can't get close to Hillary, she'll use you as a target.

"wrong!"

A person in the audience, their face changing, pointed at the arena below and exclaimed, "What's wrong with that wolf? Was it this big when it transformed before?"

Kim: "No, I swear on my brother Eun-m's beard, that wolf An's was only 2.5 meters tall at most!"

Yinmu: "..."

"Good heavens, it's almost four meters tall now! With that size, I'd believe you if you told me it was a fifth-tier magical beast. Is that wolf really level 21? Where's the referee? Referee!"

Referee: "Based on the perceived magic fluctuations, it is indeed level 21! The match continues!"

Ultimately, Sasser's size was fixed at five meters!

Sasser is five meters tall and over eight meters long.

Compared to her, Anno standing next to her was tiny.

Whoosh!

A [Wind Arrow] struck Sasser, leaving a bloody hole the size of a human thumb on her foreleg.

"Waaaaah~~~"

The enlarged Sarciel paid no attention to the minor injury. She leaned forward, baring her teeth and glaring at Heila in the distance.

boom!

As Sasser's massive body moved, the arena beneath her feet was cracked like a spiderweb by the force of her movements, sending rubble flying.

"【Chaotic Wind Blade】!"

Seeing Sassiel's movements, Sheila immediately aimed at it and used the strongest wind magic she had mastered.

A monster of that size could easily crush him with a single stomp.

However, there are also disadvantages to having a larger body size.

That means the target is bigger, making it easier for the enemy to aim at it!

The [Chaotic Wind Blade] released by Hira consisted of twelve wind blades, which flew towards Sasser's head, limbs and other parts from different directions.

If all twelve wind blades hit, Sassi will be severely injured, if not killed.

"Awoo~~~"

A flash of light appeared in Sasser's large mouth.

In an instant, the light spot transformed into a beam of light as thick as an adult's waist, shooting towards Heila.

The wind blades that were hit by the beam of light vanished instantly.

Only five wind blades struck Sasser from the side, leaving five bloody wounds on her body.

"Aww~!"

Sassi let out a painful howl.

On the other side, Hilla, who had activated her speed-up skill to create distance, was blasted to the edge of the arena, and the [Wind Barrier] covering her body shattered.

"Almost!"

Covered in dust and dirt, Sheila turned to look at the spot where she had been standing, where a deep pit had appeared, and cold sweat poured down her back.

He knew that Sasser hadn't aimed at him; the beam of light had landed about five meters in front of him.

Otherwise, he would likely have been seriously injured by that attack.

"You lost!"

Anno appeared behind Sheila at some point, his longsword pressed against her neck.

"When?" Hilla's hair stood on end.

He only realized now that Anno was behind him.

"Victorious, Blood Wolf Knight An!"

Seeing this, the referee immediately declared Anno the winner.

In actual combat, Sheila would already be dead.

After winning the match, Anno sheathed his sword.

Sasser's injury was quite serious; the pastor in the audience needed to treat her properly.

Sheila turned her head to look at the audience.

When Sheila saw that Sally had already gotten up and left without even glancing at him, a ruthless glint flashed in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, I... can't let Sally down!"

The staff in Sheila's hand flashed with light, and twelve invisible wind blades instantly formed around her.

As the referee yelled "Watch out!", the wind blade flew toward Anno.

"【Gale Blade】"

But Anno seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. Just as the magic of Hira was taking shape, he turned around and instantly drew his longsword, using the fourth-tier combat skill [Gale Blade].

The impenetrable sword shadows of the dance shattered all the incoming wind blades.

"[Thrust][Lion's Slash]!"

Upon closing in on Sheila, Anno instantly raised his sword and chopped off Sheila's right hand, which was covering her staff, then used [Lion Slash] to dismember her.

The enormous head flew onto the ring, rolled a few times, and then stopped.

His unseeing eyes were fixed on the direction where Sally had stopped to watch the turn of events.

"Judging from the ferocity with which you unleashed your skills earlier, I knew you had ill intentions!"

Anno took a handkerchief from his chest and slowly wiped the blood from the sword, muttering to himself, "How can you claim self-defense if you don't give someone a chance?"

He sheathed his longsword again and tossed the blood-stained handkerchief aside, which landed squarely on Sheila's head.
