I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

"Master, hold on tight!"

Liz, disguised as a griffin, sensed the rapidly approaching tail spike cannon below and warned Anno before spinning around in the air to dodge.

One after another, the [Tail Spike Cannons] grazed past Anno and his companions before exploding in mid-air.

Despite Liz's agile dodging, there were simply too many attacks coming from below.

swish swish...  

As more than a dozen larger [Tail Spike Cannons] flew toward her, Liz, who had just finished her dodge maneuver, had no time to adjust her position.

Gurgle!

Anno opened the Evil King's True Eye between his eyebrows, looking at Liz, who had transformed into a flying magical beast, as well as Sassi and Ella beside him.

The next second, the four of them disappeared into the air.

Rumble...

Sparks burst forth in the air, as beautiful as fireworks.

But this beauty is deadly!

The group of dragon scorpions below looked up at the empty night sky, assuming that Anno had been eliminated. Some went to deal with the dwarf soldiers, while others continued to head towards the outer city.

A minute later, Anno and the others suddenly reappeared from the place where they had just disappeared, and then flew towards the outer city without looking back.

As the altitude increased, by the time the dragon scorpions below noticed someone above, Anno was already beyond their attack range.

Anno, who was flying in mid-air, looked down.

A ring of fire has broken out in the central area of ​​Sagunto. The battle between the Scorpion King and Leopold has turned the eastern district where they were located into ruins, but the battle is still undecided.

Meanwhile, the two hunters and the lower-level gods within the barrier were still locked in battle, and no victor could be determined for the time being.

Below, the city streets were filled with panicked residents of Sagunto, running frantically.

Once these defenseless civilians are caught by the dragon scorpion, it won't be long before their bodies are torn into more than a dozen pieces by the dragon scorpion's giant claws.

As for those skilled professionals, once caught, they could barely fight a small group of dragon scorpions for a while before hiding in rooms on non-main streets.

But as more dragon scorpions arrive, it's only a matter of time before they're discovered.

Even mid-level professionals can only wait to die slowly once surrounded.

For every block the dragon scorpion expanded into the outer city, hundreds or thousands of dwarves were killed.

This was even after Lord Owen issued a retreat order in advance.

Otherwise, the number of dwarves killed by the dragon scorpion would increase by more than ten times!

Suddenly, Anno turned his gaze to a street occupied by dragon scorpions.

With the help of [Far Vision], Anno could clearly see a group of dragon scorpions below carrying and piling up the corpses of the dead dwarves and dragon scorpions together.

Then a red, seventh-tier dragon scorpion walked to the pile of corpses and kept shaking its body.

"That is..."

As the red dragon scorpion shook, Anno saw a large number of black shadows, each a dozen centimeters long, being flung off the red dragon scorpion and into the pile of corpses.

The scene was like a torrential downpour.

"Dragon Scorpion Cub!"

Anno frowned slightly when he saw the densely packed dragon scorpion larvae lying in the pile of corpses, beginning to feed.

Whether it was the corpse of a dwarf or the corpse of a dragon scorpion, these little dragon scorpions ate it with great relish.

As Liz flew further and further away, the scene of the little dragon scorpion feeding on the street was gradually obscured by the surrounding buildings.

But just as Anno was about to look away, he suddenly saw a small dragon scorpion stop eating, jump outside the pile of corpses, and begin to molt!

"Wait a moment!"

Anno immediately had Liz turn around and bring the camera back into view.

During this time, the palm-sized dragon scorpion had completed its molt and transformed into a dragon scorpion about half a meter long, and its level had also increased from level 0 to level 5!

Seeing the dragon scorpion, having molted once, rush back into the pile of corpses to feed, and nearby level 0 dragon scorpions molting one after another, Anno's eyes were filled with shock.

"This speed at which their strength is increasing is just too fast!"

Anno finally understood why the Dragon Scorpion Clan had immediately begun attacking Sagunto after the seal was lifted.

Perhaps this is the reason why the Dragon Scorpion clan was sealed away.

"If the dragon scorpion can keep devouring corpses to grow stronger, then we're in big trouble!"

Anno instructed Liss to continue retreating towards the outer city.

He needs to inform Lord Owen of this news.

If the Dragon Scorpion Clan cannot be contained, not only Sagunto, but the entire Dwarf Kingdom will be plunged into crisis.

However, dealing with the dragon scorpion clan is not easy.

Even Leopold, a god, couldn't defeat the Dragon Scorpion God, let alone the experts of the Dwarf Kingdom.

Unless Hephaestus intervenes, or the two dwarven god hunters and Leopold temporarily join forces, they cannot pose a threat to the dragon scorpion god.

Besides the Dragon Scorpion King, Anno saw more than five high-level dragon scorpions along the way.

This is just the direction Anno is retreating in.

It's impossible for other directions to lack high-level dragon scorpions.

The dwarves of Sagunto alone were simply no match for the Dragon Scorpion Clan who had broken free of their seal.

"Master, we've arrived at the outer city!"

After giving a warning, Liz began to dive downwards.

Anno snapped out of her thoughts and stared down.

Owen stood on the city wall, looking anxious, his gaze constantly shifting between the city gate below and the distance.

At the city gate, tens of thousands of dwarves were lined up and quickly passing through the gate to retreat outside the city.

"Reporting to the city lord, the 3rd Battalion of the 7th Army held off the monsters in Kashgar Square, buying time for the civilians to evacuate. The mission is complete, but nearly 40% of the troops have been killed or wounded!"

"Report! General Stuart is surrounded by several high-level unknown monsters in the North District. General Qiqiha has rushed to his aid."

"Report! General Antoine, in the southern district, covered the retreat of his troops by staying behind alone. He instructed me to report an important piece of intelligence to the city lord: the giant red monster has many juvenile monsters on its body. These juvenile monsters can burrow into human bodies and parasitize them, draining the body's magic power before bursting out and molting!"

Upon hearing the news from his subordinates, Lord Owen's face grew increasingly dark.

Kashgar Square is only two kilometers away from the West Gate where Oun is located.

However, about 40,000 civilians in the western district are still being evacuated.

At this rate, before everyone has even completely evacuated, the dragon scorpion will have already charged over.

Moreover, the situation at the other city gates was equally unfavorable.

Can juvenile scorpions metamorphose through parasitism?

Owen clenched his fists, but couldn't think of a way to deal with it.

He never expected that the dragon scorpions sealed in Sagunto were an entire clan!

At the time, he also told Anno that the dragon scorpion was just a legend.

The dragon scorpion has now become a reality, but the dwarf hero who slew it has not.

"Lord, be careful! Guards, be alert above!"

The dwarf guard, Korish, who had been protecting Owen, suddenly looked up warily at the dark figures falling from above.
