I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Watching Simmons and the others leave, Troy looked at Anno and said, "Foolish! You should have been more patient. They can't do anything to you anyway."

Now that you've agreed to the sparring match, they'll definitely try to attack you during it.

Anno knew Troy was genuinely worried about him, and turned back with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't be reckless. However, I might need your help to treat the wounded. If things get out of control, I hope Lord Lymens will step in!"

As soon as Anno finished speaking, Lymens suddenly appeared on the deserted road.

The King and Leimens must have known about this argument long ago.

Lemens looked at Anno expressionlessly and said, "Even if the king sides with you in this matter, your reputation will still be damaged. The seeds of this disaster were sown when you attacked the mercenaries."

"It's okay, I'll handle it!"

After finishing speaking, Anno walked towards the outside of the palace.

"Your Highness Simmons has gone a bit too far this time!"

Troy sighed and followed.

Leimens did not comment.

Given his personality, he would never judge the right or wrong of the royal family.

If Simmons were to succeed to the throne, he would not hesitate to carry out Simmons' orders.

However, in his heart, he also hoped that Tester could become the next king.

The location for the competition was chosen to be a large grassland ten kilometers outside the East Gate.

Through word of mouth, after Anno and Simmons's groups left the east gate, tens of thousands of professionals and residents poured out of the royal city and followed them.

The Adventurers' Guild Master, Anno, is about to spar with a seventh-rank warrior from the kingdom.

This is a seventh-level sparring match!

Where can you usually see this?

Even just a glimpse from a few kilometers away would be helpful.

And everyone is eagerly anticipating the outcome.

The adventurers would definitely want their guild leader to win.

But those in the know understand that their guild leader has only just advanced to the seventh rank, so their chances of winning are slim.

Those who are smarter have already guessed that this is a backlash caused by Anno's actions against the mercenary group.

Someone is about to make a move against the adventurers.

Simmons' side, of course, was waiting for Anno to lose the sparring match so they could mock him to their heart's content.

Tester and Selena, having learned of the news, have already arrived at the scene.

They also didn't want Anno and Casta to fight.

However, the situation is now out of control.

If Anno were to back down in front of thousands of people at this moment, he would truly become a laughing stock.

"Hey Anuo, are you an idiot? Or do you really think you're invincible just because you've just advanced to the seventh rank? You even dare to accept a challenge from a veteran seventh rank fighter?"

Selena crossed her arms and glared angrily at Anno.

Although her words were a bit harsh, her anxious eyes showed that she was very worried about Anno.

"I'm sorry, Anno, this was my oversight, giving Simmons the opportunity to deal with you!"

Tester felt somewhat guilty when he got off the carriage in Anno.

"I handled the mercenary matter without informing you, so it has nothing to do with you."

Anno lowered her voice and said, "Don't worry, I'm actually confident!"

Tester, who had been worried about Anno, suddenly brightened up upon hearing this.

Tester: "Really?"

Anno: "Do I look stupid to you?"

Tester shook his head and said, "Very shrewd!"

Anno shrugged and said, "That settles it!"

"If that's what you mean, then I'll wait for your good news."

Tester breathed a sigh of relief, then whispered in Anno's ear, "Selena was actually quite worried about you too, but you know my sister's personality, it's just a bit... something."

"I understand!"

Anno waved his hand and said without turning his head, "Watch my performance!"

the other side.

Simmons watched Anno walk away into the distance, a smile playing on his lips.

"Casta, teach him a lesson!"

Casta was already fully equipped, with a long sword hanging at his waist.

"Your Highness, rest assured. I guarantee I will annihilate all his summoned creatures before he surrenders!"

Seeing that the two main figures had entered the arena, the soldiers began to have those who were watching retreat to a safe distance.

If ordinary people are caught in the crossfire, they have virtually no chance of survival.

"Hey, aren't summoners magic-based classes?"

Casta, seeing Anno wearing a set of dark blue armor, couldn't help but taunt, "Are you wrapped up like that because you're afraid I'll kill you instantly?"

"Yes, I'm terrified!"

Anno flashed Casta a bright smile, then pulled his mask back on, patted the greatsword on his back, and said, "I'm afraid I won't have a chance to draw my sword!"

To get Anno to draw his sword, you have to get up to Anno first.

Given the combat strength of a seventh-tier dragon scorpion, Anno doubted that Casta did not possess this ability.

"This sword looks good, it's a real waste on you."

Casta realized that Anno's Dragon Scorpion Set was magical equipment, but didn't think of it as high-level.

However, the Dragon Scorpion Tail Cannon Sword is extraordinary just from its appearance.

"I also think this knife has the wrong owner."

Anno also realized that the longsword in Casta's hand was a high-level magical weapon.

After exchanging a few words, the two flew a distance and stood facing each other, about a hundred meters apart.

Lemens appeared between the two, acting as the referee in the fight.

"Both are pillars of the kingdom. This battle is merely a friendly spar; it will end when the point is reached!"

After saying this, Lemens suddenly brought his raised hand down.

"Let the sparring begin!"

Swish!

As soon as Leimens finished speaking, Casta lunged forward, bracing his left hand against the bottom of the longsword and gripping the handle tightly with his right, shooting towards Anno like an arrow released from a bow.

Casta has absolutely no intention of holding back.

According to intelligence, Anno has dozens of Tier 6 summons around him.

Using a seventh-tier skill against a sixth-tier summon is almost guaranteed to kill.

However, Casta cannot use a seventh-tier combat skill for every sixth-tier summon he kills.

He doesn't have that much magic power.

However, thanks to his seventh-tier flight ability and powerful physique, Casta can take down a level 35 summon in a short time, even when using sixth-tier or fifth-tier skills.

If the blade strikes a vital area like the neck, it can be fatal in one blow.

Anno was also taking this sparring match to heart.

After all, this was his first time facing off against a seventh-tier human expert.

Seeing the long sword hurtling towards him with a whirlwind, Anno didn't hesitate and instantly summoned a colossal creature.

Ding!

The long sword and a pincer collided, and the resulting powerful gust of air lifted up the surrounding grass, revealing dark brown soil.

Then, a huge hook fell from the sky and smashed into the spot where Casta was.

Boom!

The ground was smashed into a large crater by the scorpion's tail hook.

Casta, who had managed to retreat in time, stared wide-eyed at the enormous creature that was over ten meters tall before him, his eyes filled with shock.

"Level 36! I didn't expect this guy to actually have a Tier 7 summon, and I've never seen this monster before. But judging from its features, could it be a dragon scorpion from the Dwarf Kingdom?"

"Roar~!"

The dragon scorpion's head emerged from its armor and roared at Casta, its two pincers clashing together.

The chain-like tail gradually rose, the tail spike at the end gleaming with a cold light.

The high-level professionals from several kingdoms who were watching the battle were all shocked by what they saw.

"Anno actually has a seventh-tier summon!"

"This is a dragon scorpion. The intelligence from the dwarf kingdom says that this kind of monster is extremely powerful in combat."

"I thought Anno was a bit arrogant, but I didn't expect him to be so shrewd. With this seventh-tier dragon scorpion around, Anno now has the ability to confront Casta head-on."

Rumble...

While everyone was still in shock, the dragon scorpion charged toward Casta.
