I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Anno dared to rush directly in front of Barker because he had learned the fifth-tier summoner skill [Shadow Shift], which allows him to instantly swap positions with summoned creatures within a 500-meter range.

Even if something unexpected happens, you can use [Shadow Shift] to escape.

To take it a step further, Anno could also enter the [Evil God's Realm].

Although it's impossible to pull Barker in while his vision is obstructed, Anno can go in by himself to avoid Barker's unknown attacks.

Pfft!

Anno hadn't even had time to rejoice after beheading Barker when he suddenly saw bandages flying through the air wrap around the head and then attach it to the body.

During this time, Anno tried to launch an attack, but his attack was blocked by a section of the extended bandage.

Barker, having reattached his head, touched his neck, looking visibly shaken, and muttered to himself, "It really is true... you can't let your guard down for even a moment!"

Before the battle began, Barker actually regarded Anno as an opponent of equal strength, since Leopold was basically certain to have died at Anno's hands.

Whether it's the sarcastic tone during battle or the deliberately arrogant attitude, it's all to lower Anno's guard.

Anuo thought she had fallen for his trap, but she never expected that she would fall for his trap instead.

Barker, looking at Anno who was on guard opposite him, suddenly said, "Hey, human, how about we call a truce?"

He originally wanted to test Anno's strength.

It has now been discovered that without liberating one's divinity, victory is difficult to achieve.

Once the divinity is unleashed, not only will their location be exposed, but if Anno is not dealt with in a short time, the [Godwalker] body may be destroyed first.

Accumulating the power of faith is not easy.

Although Anno was annoying, Barker wanted to leave Anno's problems to the other Walkers to solve.

As a god, he acknowledged Anno's strength.

"armistice?"

Anno glanced at Barker with a puzzled look, then pointed to the werewolves and other monsters killed by summoned creatures and the ongoing battle in the distance, and asked, "I don't think our ceasefire can end this war."

One [Walker] was killed, and another one appeared.

If we put them back, who knows how many more will come next time.

However, since Barker was going to talk, Anno also wanted to see if he could get some useful information out of him.

"You should know about the 'Swift Walkers,' right?"

Barker pointed to himself and said proudly, "What you see before me is merely a shell called the 'Godwalker.' My true form is a god living in the realm of gods!"

Anno raised an eyebrow and asked, "Oh, what kind of god are you?"

"I am......"

Barker stopped mid-sentence, then continued, "What kind of god I am is unimportant, since I'm not a god worshipped by humans. What's important is that even if you kill this body of mine, it won't cause me the slightest harm. Therefore, our battle is completely meaningless."

Barker lied here, and the loss of faith power is significant.

Before Anno could answer, Barker continued, "If you agree to a ceasefire, I will immediately order my men to retreat. In exchange, I can tell you something about the [Godwalkers]."

"Okay, I agree to a ceasefire. Just tell me!"

"Uh~!"

Seeing that Anno answered without hesitation, Barker couldn't help but look at him with suspicion. "Words are no proof; the God of Contracts needs to be the judge!"

Bang bang bang!

Anno rushed to Barker's side and attacked from various angles, forcing Barker to use bandages to wrap himself up and block.

Inside, Barker, preparing his magic, watched Anno's frenzied attack from outside and said with a dark expression, "This guy, he never even considered a ceasefire, and he immediately turned hostile when he heard about signing a contract!"

"[Heart-Devouring Flame]!"

Barker, having prepared his magic, raised his charred palm and pointed it at Anno.

Unexpectedly, the target of [Heart-Devouring Flame] turned out to be a fourth-tier summon.

Using [Teleportation], Anno was moved to a location several dozen meters away, leaving behind another fourth-tier monster in the same spot.

"This is the second time already, I've memorized the starting stance!"

Seeing Barker's disappointed expression, Anno began to have his summoned creatures use ranged magic to wear down the opponent.

To fend off the incoming sixth-tier magic, Barker had no choice but to keep using skills to retaliate.

But Anno doesn't allow the summoned creatures to get close at all, and at the same time, he has the summoned creatures use their shadows to block Barker's movement.

And Anno has been waiting, waiting for Barker to unleash his divinity!

Finally, Barker had no other choice. As his magic was about to run out, he glared at Anno with venomous eyes and roared, "Damn it, you forced me to this! [Magic Surge]! Divinity, unleash!"

After the roar, Barker's magic power, which was about to collapse, suddenly began to surge, and it recovered a third of its strength in no time!

"[God - Infernal Fire Sea]!"

"【God's Fiery Cage】!"

"[God - Devouring the Flame Dragon]!"

Barker, whose body was engulfed in flames a foot long, spoke as if he were a demon emerging from hell.

Rumble!

The ground around Barker began to crack, and large amounts of lava gushed out, instantly turning the ground into a sea of ​​fire.

At the same time, molten chains suddenly rose up from the edge of a radius of 600 meters.

The chains converged toward Barker's head in the center, then were connected by crimson flames between each pair of chains, like a sealed lid enveloping Anno inside.

Then, dozens of fire dragons rose from the sea of ​​fire and hovered above Barker's head.

The bandages wrapped around his body also formed a long spear, which he thrust towards Anno!

At this moment, Anno was completely surrounded by a world of flames.

The moment the sea of ​​fire appeared, Anno recalled his sixth-tier summon and then flew into the air with Sassi in human form in his arms.

"Don't even think about using spatial abilities to escape. [God's Blazing Cage] has the effect of sealing off space; you can't escape this time!"

From the center of the inferno, Barker roared, "Die!"

"Roar~!"

The fire dragon hovering around Barker opened its huge mouth and charged towards Anno.

"Sealing off the space?"

Anno felt a tremor in his heart when he heard those words.

He immediately tried using [Teleport] to swap positions with the summoned creatures in the outside world, and found that he could not connect as expected.

The [Devouring Reincarnation] ability has also lost its effectiveness, unable to devour fire elements empowered by divine power.

"Owner!"

Sassi, nestled in Anno's arms, trembled all over.

The magic was so oppressive that Sassi, surrounded by flames, felt she could die at any moment.

Sassiel is a contractual object, not a summoned object, so Anno cannot recall her at all.

"It's fine!"

As Anno spoke, the [Evil King's True Eye] between his eyebrows opened.

His pupils darted around, glancing at Barker in the center of the inferno.

"Explode, reality! Shatter, spirit! Destroy, this world!"

Whoosh!

The Evil King's True Eye shot out a beam of light that struck Sassiel.

When Anno and Sassi appeared in the Evil King's Domain, Anno breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Barker's sealing magic cannot contain the [Evil King's Domain].

However, only one unit can be brought in at a time from the [Evil King's Domain] – except for Anno's summoned creatures.

In order to protect Sassi, Anno gave up using it on Barker.

"Master, where am I?"

This was Sassi's first time entering the realm of the evil god, and she felt somewhat unfamiliar with it.

"Wait a minute!"

When Anno was in the Evil King's Domain, he was unable to possess any summoned creatures from the outside world.

But before entering the Evil King's domain, he gave instructions to his mid-level summons, who were still fighting monsters, to keep an eye on Barker's movements.

If Barker starts running away or attacking the dwarven army, send your summoned creatures to their deaths.

In this way, Anno can sense the death of his summoned creatures and thus obtain information.

Then you can deactivate the [Evil King's True Eye] and go out to fight Barker.

Outside, the fighting army stared in stunned silence at the enormous sphere of fire rising from the edge of the battlefield.

Through the flames, you can see a large number of dragons flying around inside.

Such a wide-ranging fire spell caused the sixth-tier dwarf Gustav to curse, "Is this some kind of magic that a sixth-tier monster could unleash?"

"President!"

Kim also witnessed this scene.

He knew that Anno had been fighting the bandaged monster earlier.

At this moment, I couldn't help but worry about Anno.

This magic must already be classified as seventh-tier magic.

Faced with magic of this level... can Anno survive?

Just then, the summoned creatures belonging to Anno suddenly began to gather, all looking at the huge cage of flames.

As the fiery cage gradually contracted, the fiery chains, fire dragon, and sea of ​​fire slowly dissipated, and Barker, his body ablaze like a world-destroying demon god, appeared in the charred pit.

Upon seeing this, several summoned creatures immediately charged forward fearlessly.

Barker raised his hand and unleashed a burst of flame, burning the charging summoned creature to ashes.

Feeling his body on the verge of collapse, Barker roared in exasperation, "Damn human, get out here!"

He initially thought that Anno had used some kind of invisibility ability to hide, making it impossible for him to track down his target.

So Barker prepared to shrink the cage and force Anno to show himself.

But it wasn't until the very end that Barker discovered Anno had already run away!

He never expected that even after using [God's Blazing Cage] to reinforce the space, Anno still managed to escape.

Maintaining magic empowered by three gods consumes a tremendous amount of magical energy.

In just one minute, Barker's newly recovered 200,000 magic power was reduced to only 50,000.

But just after his magic disappeared, Anno appeared in the air holding Sassi.

After landing, Anno told Sassi to escape quickly, and then rushed towards Barker, whose body was on the verge of collapse.

"Hehe, you're finally out!"

At this moment, Barker, who was in a great position, looked at Anno with a mixture of despair and curiosity.

He was desperate because he had wasted too much time. If he had discovered Anno's escape earlier and canceled the magic transfer in time, he would still have been able to fight Anno.

But now, Barker knows he has no chance.

At the same time, he was curious about how Anno had managed to break free of the cage.

If he returned to the realm of the gods and happened to meet and talk with Leopold, he might be able to guess the reason.

But now Barker has no chance!
