I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Barnett, who charged toward Monissa, was struck by Monissa's nimble tail and sent flying backward, crashing into Monroe in the process.

"Stop!"

Anno stood in front of Monissa to prevent her from finishing off the enemy.

Monissa looked at the black-armored knight in front of her and felt a vague sense of familiarity.

"Tester?"

When Monissa noticed the green gemstone necklace Anno was wearing around his neck, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

But the next moment, her smile vanished.

"Oh no, I'm showing my true form now, and I must look awful to humans. I absolutely can't let Tester know I'm Monissa!"

Monissa suppressed the urge to call out Anno's name, her face hardening with anger as she roared, "Human, are you the reinforcements these dwarves brought?"

Anno saw a fleeting smile on Monissa's lips, and coupled with her slightly affected expression, he knew that the other woman had recognized him.

He wore the magic gem necklace that Monissa had given him around his neck, deliberately so that the other party would recognize him.

As Monissa is the only Swift Walker that Anno can talk to, Anno doesn't want to antagonize her.

Anno also wanted to rely on Monissa to learn about the divine realm in the future.

Anno didn't come here to kill her, but rather to find an opportunity to let her go.

"That's right! The God of Fire and Forging recently came to the border of the Dwarven Kingdom and almost all the Swiftwalkers who were causing chaos there were wiped out. You must be the last Swiftwalker on the Dwarven Kingdom's border!"

Anno relayed the information to Monissa without changing his expression, then charged in with his knife.

"court death!"

Monissa swung her hand and unleashed two attacks, her thick, powerful snake tail twisting rapidly, constantly changing position, and occasionally taking the opportunity to whip Anno.

The two fought while moving around.

Before long, they had fought their way from the city gate into the city.

"I always thought summoners were cloth-armored classes similar to mages. I was wondering why Anno was wearing knight armor, now I see!"

Barnett, clutching his chest, looked at Anno and the snake-man monsters locked in fierce combat, and suddenly realized what was happening.

Monroe looked at Anno, who was fighting the snake-man to a standstill, with a complicated expression, and said dejectedly, "Is the gap really that big? Anno is only level 34!"

Having gone through the previous Anno experience, Anno has now reached level 34.

"I told you two a long time ago, but you just wouldn't believe me!"

Gustav looked at Barnett's blind left eye and sighed, "If that snake-man really was a Swiftwalker, the strength he displayed just now was probably less than a tenth of what it should be! You haven't seen a Swiftwalker after he's been unleashed; that sight even made me instantly lose the will to fight!"

The scenes of Barker unleashing [God's Infernal Fire Sea], [God's Blazing Cage], and [God's Devouring Flame Dragon] are still etched in Gustav's mind.

That is why he has a deep and genuine respect for Anno.

Monroe and Barnett had never witnessed the power of the Swift Walker.

But when faced with a true master of speed, even with all his might, he could only inflict minor injuries.

This is even before Monissa has unleashed her divinity.

This made both of them somewhat sad.

"Then let's hurry and help Anno!"

Barnett picked up his weapon and prepared to give chase.

He was stopped by Gustav the next second.

"President Anno has already killed more than one Swiftwalker and is fully capable of dealing with that snake-man. The reason he took the snake-man away from the battlefield is probably because he was worried that the battle after the snake-man unleashed its divinity would affect us. If you went there, you would only cause trouble."

"Really!"

Barnett glanced at Anno in the distance, then covered his left eye with his hand.

His left eye was only affected by a wisp of green mist, and he went blind immediately.

It was also accompanied by intense pain, which Barnett had been enduring.

"You didn't have to go blind in this eye!"

Gustav looked at Barnett and shook his head.

Monroe felt incredibly guilty when he saw that Barnett had one eye closed.

Barnett wouldn't have lost an eye if he hadn't strongly urged Anno not to interfere.

"What are you talking about?"

Barnett turned to look at Monroe and Gustav with a puzzled expression, and said smugly, "I lost this eye when I was fighting the Walker."

In other words, I fought a god and only lost one eye!

"The Slin family has produced a dwarf who fought against the gods! This is the pride of the entire family, and it is also my achievement!"

"Barnett... ugh, I really don't understand what you're thinking!"

Gustav scratched his head, picked up his weapon, and began attacking the nearby monsters.

Barnett looked at Monroe, who had his back to him, walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Monroe, can you still fight? Don't let my blindness fool you, how about we see who kills more monsters? The loser buys drinks when we get home!"

As Monroe turned away, she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and replied with a smile, "Even if my left arm is paralyzed now, you still can't beat me."

"Hahaha... Let's have a competition then!"

The two dwarves began to fight monsters on the battlefield.

Barnett didn't want Monroe to feel guilty because he had lost an eye.

Monroe understood Barnett's meaning, so she didn't show her guilt.

Gustav, who left early, was filled with resentment towards himself for not being more assertive.

If I had insisted on persuading the two of them to let Anno help immediately, the previous situation would not have happened.

However, the three dwarves shared a common thought at this moment—that once the battle was over, they must thank Anno and apologize for their previous actions.

On the other side, after Anno moved Monissa into the city, the two of them crashed into a building next to the street.

"Please have a seat!"

Anno put away his weapon, pulled two chairs over to the table, and handed one to Monissa.

"How did you recognize me?"

Monissa's expression was no longer as fierce as before. She leaned back in her chair, looking puzzled, and said, "I look completely different now than before!"

Anno removed his helmet, a smile playing on his lips, and replied, "Some people, I only need to see them once, and I'll remember them for a lifetime!"

dong dong!

Monissa and Anno locked eyes, and their hearts suddenly began to beat faster.

some people.

take a look.

I'll remember this for a lifetime!

"Is this what it feels like to have your heart flutter?"

Monissa misunderstood Anno's meaning.

She thought she was special, that Anno could recognize her even after they had only met once.

Moreover, Anno's expression did not show any disdain for her own appearance.

Joy, happiness, and a touch of panic.

"Testist...don't you hate how I look now?"

Monissa asked the question somewhat nervously.

She lowered her head, her scaly hands crossed together, her two thumbs spinning incessantly.

"Fear?"

Anno paused for a moment when he heard the question.

But seeing Monissa's expression, Anno instantly understood.

However, Monissa's current appearance is completely different from her previous disguised human appearance.

Green skin, raised scales, and a forked tongue.

Ok?

A forked tongue, hiss...

"Isn't it quite pretty?"

In order to facilitate potential future cooperation, Anno went against his conscience and praised Monissa's appearance.

Seeing the happy smile on Monissa's face, Anno quickly steered the conversation back to business.

"We can talk about this another time. The Swiftwalkers on the border of the Dwarven Kingdom have been mostly cleared out, and I heard the ghost crisis in the royal city has been resolved. Next, the Dwarven army will begin to reclaim lost territory. If you want to live, take this opportunity to leave."
