I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

"We've come this far, let's stop hiding and attack together!"

A roar suddenly came from behind the monster army.

Then a dark figure joined the battle between the sixth-tier beings.

A few seconds later, dozens more tier-six monsters joined the battle.

Warren B. Bill!

Upon seeing the sixth-tier monsters mobilize, Alik immediately issued an order.

One by one, sixth-tier powerhouses left the city to meet the challenge.

The sixth-tier elf Grimm, along with several other sixth-tier contestants, also joined the war.

To prevent the monsters from continuing to destroy the city walls, the strong humans moved the battlefield to a distant location.

Meanwhile, the monster army surged madly into the breach that had been breached in the city wall.

The soldiers, on the other hand, wanted to plug the gap.

"Charge! Charge into the city, conquer it, and the Demon King and the Lich King will reward us!"

"Block it! Block it! Our city is right behind us; we can't let those monsters destroy our home!"

The two sides clashed in the breach in the city wall.

The sounds of fighting and explosions were incessant, combat skills and magic were unleashed, and all sorts of severed limbs flew everywhere.

This place is like a meat grinder!

Soon the ground and the nearby city walls were stained red with blood, and layers of corpses piled up at the breach, which were then burned to ashes by fire magic, and the two sides clashed and tore each other apart once again.

Anno, on the city wall, didn't pay attention to the situation below for the time being.

This time, the monster forces launched a full-scale attack, deploying all their sixth-tier troops and abandoning their fifth-tier troops altogether.

Most Tier 5 monsters still target the turrets!

Even if they couldn't destroy the turret, they didn't want the magic crystal cannon to fire.

Anno continued to move between the various turrets with his summoned creatures, assisting the soldiers in slaying fifth-tier monsters.

After reaching level 24, Anno killed three more Tier 5 monsters.

Then he heard a request for backup coming from the turret on the side.

The fort that requested reinforcements was the very fort where Anno was stationed when the city wall was breached—he had been shuttling between two or three nearby forts to provide support during that time.

There are two Tier 5 captains in this turret, but they are injured!

Upon hearing the cry for help, Anno immediately rushed over with his summoned creatures.

But it was too late.

When Anno arrived near the fort, none of the five squads of soldiers guarding the area had survived.

Only one monster remained, clinging to the corpse of a fifth-tier captain and gnawing on it!

"Oh no, I never expected to run into this!"

Anno's expression turned somewhat unpleasant after seeing the other party's information.

The monster that killed the fifth-tier captain and dozens of soldiers was a level 24 fourth-tier ghoul.

If it were just a regular ghoul, Anno would have sent his summoned creatures directly into battle.

But this one is different.

Not only were they much smaller, but their physical appearance was also similar to that of humans—ordinary ghouls had long hair, hunched backs, and ugly faces.

Race: Ghoul

Rating: 24

Life: 84520/100000

Mana: 20521/30000

Talent: [Ghoul]

Skills: [Armored Blade] [Scale Blade] [Bite] [Heavy Strike]...

The ghoul in front of me is a gifted monster!

Anno's eyes lit up!

After his [Spirit Offering] was upgraded to the intermediate level, he gained an additional contract slot.

The level 24 ghoul in front of me is exactly the same level as Anno, so I can force a contract with it.

Just as Anno was thinking this, the ghoul in front of him raised its head, put the soldier's heart that it had dug out into its mouth, and swallowed it in one gulp.

Then I leveled up from level 24 to level 25!

"Grass!"

Anno, who was charging forward, immediately stopped.

He had originally planned to take control of the ghouls at any cost before forcibly signing the agreement.

Unexpectedly, the opponent upgraded at the crucial moment.

"Damn monsters, everyone charge!"

Opposite Anno, soldiers arriving from another direction to provide support saw the monsters devouring their comrades' corpses and immediately charged forward with guns drawn, roaring.

The ghoul's magical energy fluctuations were only level 25. Among the dozen or so soldiers rushing over, two were at level four, and one of them was also level 25!

They saw that the ghoul was still badly injured and believed they could avenge their fallen brothers.

"Watch out, don't go that way!"

On the other side, Anno loudly reminded the soldiers opposite.

No one with talent is simple!

The ghoul before me was able to kill two Tier 5 ghouls—even though they were injured Tier 5 ghouls—which was enough to prove its strength.

However, the soldiers on the other side, seeing that the ghoul was alone, were not about to let him go.

The level 25 knight at the forefront swept his lance, the sharp tip piercing the ghoul.

The ghoul stood there, seemingly in a daze.

But just as the spearhead was about to pierce it, something metallic suddenly grew around its right arm below its shoulder blade, and then raised its arm to block the spearhead!

"What?"

The knight felt immense resistance from the tip of the spear, never expecting the opponent's strength to be so great.

when!

Just like the ghoul's right arm, the spiral-shaped "protective organ" surrounding its right arm deflected the knight's lance.

The ghoul then leaped into the air. As it landed directly above the knight, the "organ" on its right arm suddenly retracted, but four tentacles several meters long suddenly grew from its waist and stabbed downwards.

boom!

The tentacles were incredibly powerful; they even blasted a deep crater into the city wall!

The knight thrust his lance upwards with both hands, his eyes widening inside his helmet.

A drop of blood dripped down the spear!

His spear pierced one of the tentacles.

Clang!

The spear fell to the ground, and the knight's body collapsed limply.

The ghoul landed on the ground, ignoring the stabbed tentacles, and retracted its other three tentacles.

As it retreated, the tentacles also brought back the knight's heart!

That last attack pierced through the knight's armor with all three tentacles!

Whoosh!

The tentacle retracted to the ghoul's waist, and it swallowed the bloody heart that the tentacle had brought back.

Anno saw that after the ghoul swallowed the heart, its health points recovered significantly, and the wounds on its body were also healing.

"Team...Captain!"

The knight's companions still couldn't believe that their captain had been killed so easily.

But then, they were consumed by boundless rage and charged forward with a roar.

"Stop right there!"

At the critical moment, Shadow rode Sarsil past the ghouls and stood in front of the soldiers.

"You are no match for it. Leave this to us, and you go to support other areas!"

The shadow leaped off Sasser, its gaze fixed on the ghoul before it.

At the same time, Anno surrounded the ghouls with his summoned creatures.

The ghoul looked around, then its gaze shifted between Anno, Liz, and Sassi before finally settling on Anno. It said in broken Common, "I...know...you!"
