I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Twenty kilometers from Steel Fortress, there is a small hillside covered with dense forest.

Anno easily found the monster sentry hiding on the hillside, killed him, and then looked with Yinmu toward the dwarf town a kilometer away.

According to Yinmu, there is a pastry shop in this town run by dwarves, and the pastries taste very good.

Unfortunately, that place has now been taken over by monsters.

After waiting for a while on the hillside, the bat spirit that had been sent to gather intelligence flew back.

"Master, the town is almost entirely infested with monsters, numbering around a thousand. I spotted a large one, possibly a sixth-tier monster. I surveyed the area within a few kilometers of the town, and there are practically no monsters there; they're all concentrated in the town itself."

"One thousand, that's just the right amount."

More than three hours had passed since the battle with Barker, and Anno's magic power had recovered by half.

Two hundred thousand units of magic power is enough to deal with emergencies.

With the addition of several hundred mid-tier summons that can summon shadows, taking down this town isn't too difficult.

"President, should we just charge in?"

Yinmu held the short-handled axe in her hand, looking eager to try it out.

"Yinmu, ride on the Frost Crocodile."

Anno drew his staff and tapped it on the ground, immediately causing a large amount of mist to spread outwards.

[Summoning from the Mist]!

As her strength increases, Anno can summon more Netherworld Mist.

Before long, the area within a radius of 600 meters was covered by thick fog.

"President, what is this thing? I can't see it clearly."

Yinmu is currently level 26, but in the mist, he can only see up to five meters away.

At this distance, if attacked by someone of the same level and unable to react in time, one will either be killed or seriously injured.

"You can't see it clearly, and you can't see the monsters in the town even more clearly."

Anno had Yinmu ride on the Frost Crocodile because he was afraid Yinmu would lose his way in the fog.

"Let's go!"

As Anno began to move, a cloud of black mist, covering a diameter of six hundred meters, began to move from the hillside toward the town.

In the dilapidated town, dozens of goblins on guard at the entrance looked at the approaching black mist with puzzled expressions in their small eyes.

However, they quickly reported the situation to the garrison captain.

The guard captain is a fourth-tier bear-type orc.

Upon hearing the report, it immediately came out of the room and looked at the billowing fog that was only three hundred meters away from the town.

This strange fog is definitely not a good thing.

"Sound the alarm immediately! Enemy attack!"

Upon hearing the command, a goblin immediately removed the large horn hanging around its neck.

"Waaaaah!"

As the dull horn sounded, everyone in the town, whether they were sleeping, resting, or chatting, immediately drew their weapons and ran towards the direction from which the horn was blowing.

Inside a relatively intact tall building in the town center, a giant pig-headed man opened his eyes and walked out of the room with two thick steel chains, each over twenty meters long, wrapped around his arms.

The black mist moved very quickly; before the monsters in the town even reached the town gate, the black mist had already drifted over.

"Watch out, everyone, it's coming!"

"Goblin Priest, Evil Mage, attack the Black Mist immediately!"

Several low-level spells were thrown into the black mist, but they didn't even make a fuss.

Immediately afterwards, the monster at the entrance was enveloped in black mist.

"It's so dark, I can't see anything."

"【Darkness Perception】is useless."

"I have a feeling there's something unclean in the fog!"

The guard captain, a bear-orc, squinted and looked around in the black mist, then suddenly turned around, only to find nothing behind him.

"What a false alarm!"

The orc, who had breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, but his body froze on the spot.

Suddenly, a rotting zombie appeared in front of it.

Click!

The orc's head was twisted off.

Even in his final moments, he didn't know the origin of the zombie that killed him.

"Ah~!"

"Help! There's something in the black fog!"

"A dragon! There's a giant dragon!"

"Run! Run!"

It wasn't just Anno's sixth-tier summons that were making their move in the black mist; there were also numerous mid-tier summons.

The latter cannot instantly kill a mid-level monster, which is why they make a sound.

However, the pitiful screams emanating from the black mist sent chills down the spines of the demons about to be swallowed by it.

They didn't know what was inside, so they could only run away as fast as they could.

Yinmu sat on the Frost Crocodile, watching it devour the children one by one, and felt somewhat annoyed.

He was like a blind man in there, completely unable to fight.

Just then, a third-tier harpy with torn wings fell from the sky and happened to land on the body of the ice giant crocodile.

"Wait a moment!"

Seeing that the Frost Crocodile was about to shake the Harpy off, Yinmu quickly shouted, "Leave this to me!"

The blood-covered harpy stared at the dwarf before her, a flicker of fear in her eyes.

"Hehehe..." Yinmu charged forward with an axe in hand.

"Um!"

As the pig-headed man with chains wrapped around his arms walked to the town square, a flash of annoyance crossed his eyes as he saw the approaching and retreating monsters.

"General Samoro, there are enemies in the mist. Not a single monster swallowed by them has ever come out alive!"

The one who spoke was also a pig-headed man, wearing heavy armor and holding a meteor hammer, but his voice was very delicate.

This pig-headed man is also a sixth-order being, and is a member of the same race as Samoro.

Beside them was an elite force of about two hundred pig-headed men, each clad in heavy armor.

"Elena, lead your people and charge in! Let's see what kind of monster is inside!"

"Yes, sir!"

Elena nodded in response, then led the two hundred pig-headed men into the mist.

Samoro followed closely behind.

"Oh, you just walked right in?"

Anno, who was in the center of the mist, saw a group of pig-headed men charging in, including two sixth-tier beings, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Judging from their attributes, these two sixth-tier monsters are just normal monsters.

"【violent】!"

Because Sassi, Liz, and others were all fighting at the front, Anno did not use [Poison Fungus].

However, after [Rage] was used, all the summoned creatures revealed a chilling red light in their eyes.

Samoro, who had calmly entered the fog, soon discovered that his elite troops had been inexplicably scattered.

It itself was also ambushed by a Tier 6 Vajra Zombie.

After finally managing to hold them off, several more sixth-tier Bone Demon Commanders arrived, leaving several wounds on its body.

At this moment, Samolo sensed that something was wrong.

It seemed to be surrounded by a dozen or so sixth-tier creatures.

"Elena, retreat!"

Samoro roared in all directions and began waving his arms, causing the chains wrapped around them to spin and soon create a gust of wind that dispersed the surrounding black mist.

"Snapped!"

A demonic leader tried to rush up and attack Samoro, but was shattered by the latter's chain.
