I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

"How come Anno has a seventh-tier dragon scorpion as a summon?!"

Forced to retreat step by step by the dragon scorpion, Casta was forced to fly into the air, looking down at the seventh-tier dragon scorpion protecting Anno below, his brows furrowed.

Everyone guessed that Anno had just entered the seventh tier and did not have the time or ability to acquire a seventh-tier summon.

"Were all those words and expressions just now a joke?"

Casta recalled Anno's earlier words, and anger surged within him.

Then, he swooped down from the air toward Anno.

However, the dragon scorpion naturally wouldn't let Casta's attack succeed, and automatically shielded Anno beneath its body.

The dragon scorpion's armor is incredibly strong, needless to say.

Even if Casta is armed with a high-level magical weapon, he can only find some tricks to damage the dragon scorpion if he doesn't use a seventh-tier combat skill to assist him.

However, Casta dared not be careless in the face of the dragon scorpion's attack.

Neither those pincers nor the unpredictable tail spikes could be withstood by Casta's physical body.

"What the hell is this dragon scorpion? How can its defense be so high?!"

After a few minutes of fighting, Casta, whose attack had failed once again, was accidentally kicked by one of the dragon scorpion's legs and flew over a hundred meters away.

After wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Casta's face turned somewhat gloomy.

"Since that's the case, then don't blame me!"

Casta's magic began to surge wildly, converging towards the longsword in his hand.

The seventh-tier combat skills of melee classes may lack dazzling magic arrays, but their imposing presence is by no means weak.

Even from a distance of over a hundred meters, Anno could feel the considerable power of Casta's strike.

"Using a seventh-tier combat skill so soon?"

Anno's expression gradually turned serious, and then he patted one of the dragon scorpion's legs beside him.

"Roar~!"

The dragon scorpion raised its tail, adjusted its angle, and fired a [Tail Spike Cannon] at Casta just as he got into position.

Several miles away, people standing on the plain were discussing it.

At that distance, they couldn't actually see anything at all.

But at that moment, a huge ball of light suddenly appeared on the distant grassland, and the ground trembled slightly.

Not long after, a strong wind swept in.

Then, the surrounding crowd erupted in excited discussion, as if in a frenzy.

"This power...it's definitely a seventh-tier skill!"

Tester squinted at the commotion in the distance, his eyes filled with worry.

Although Anno said there was no problem, Tester really didn't know how strong he was now.

Selena, standing nearby, was biting her lip tightly, silently praying to the God of Knights that Anno would not get hurt.

......

A dark figure burst out from the huge cloud of smoke.

Lymens laid Casta, covered in blood and still spitting blood, on the grass and shouted to Troy, "Come and heal him!"

"Damn it! Damn it!"

The heavily injured Casta staggered and pushed Lemens away, defiantly saying, "Lord Lemens, let me go! I can still fight!"

"Casta, calm down."

Troy arrived and brandished his staff, beginning to cast a healing spell.

Although they belong to different factions, they are both seventh-tier within the kingdom.

Troy could not possibly ignore Casta.

On the other side, Anno, standing on the dragon scorpion, slowly approached, looking puzzled.

Is this guy tired of living?

Why didn't you dodge when you had time to do so?

Is it because they haven't witnessed the power of the [Tail Spike Cannon]?

Casta is clearly an agile fighter, so dodging the [Tail Spike Cannon] shouldn't be too difficult for him.

But just now, this guy seemed to be challenging the [Tail Spike Cannon], and slashed at the flying [Tail Spike Cannon] with his sword.

This move truly stunned Anno.

The observer's view shows that Casta's health has dropped by a quarter!

Although he still has the ability to fight, he is clearly seriously injured.

If we continue fighting, there is absolutely no chance of winning.

That's why Lemens brought out the seriously injured Casta immediately—he was worried that Anno would take the opportunity to kill Casta.

For some reason, although the possibility was very small, Lemons felt that Anno might do such a thing.

Fortunately, Anno did not continue to attack. Instead, he asked Casta, who was healing, with concern, "Are you alright? I didn't expect you to be so stubborn."

Fortunately, Lord Troy was there; otherwise, it would have been bad if he had suffered some hidden injuries that affected his strength.

If that were the case, I would be a sinner against the kingdom.

Lord Troy, I mentioned before that I might need your help to treat the wounded, and thankfully you came along.

However, please don't completely cure the person.

When we get back, we need to make sure everyone can immediately see how badly he was injured and how he lost the game.

That's how I feel a sense of accomplishment.

More painful than the physical pain was the gaze of his colleagues who had gathered around him.

Every word Anno said caused real harm to Casta, making him want to crawl into a hole.

Before the fight, he made a solemn vow.

He was seriously injured after only a few minutes of fighting.

If this were a life-or-death battle, he would probably be dead by now.

"Anno, there's no need to be so smug!"

At this moment, Shalin stepped forward, his face dark, and said, "Casta only wanted to spar with you head-on, which is why he fell into your trap."

In a real life-or-death battle, he could completely bypass the summoned creatures and attack you directly.

Casta's defeat this time can be considered his mistake.

You probably haven't used up much energy, how about we have a spar?

Let me make this clear first, I'm not as upright as Casta.

With just a few words, Salin found a relatively respectable reason for Casta's defeat, and praised Casta while simultaneously provoking Anno.

"Anno, don't listen to him!"

Troy, seeing that Salin still wanted to provoke Anno, became so angry that he stopped treating Casta—Casta's injuries had already been stabilized.

Leimens also intended to dissuade him.

In fact, when Anno summoned the seventh-tier dragon scorpion, Anno was already fully classified as a seventh-tier being.

This proved that he was not just a beginner at the seventh rank, but had truly achieved seventh-rank combat power.

At this point, there was no point in Salin continuing to spar with Anno.

After all, the initial idea was that since Anno didn't have the strength of a seventh-tier player, Casta would teach Anno a lesson with overwhelming power.

But now that Anno is confirmed to have seventh-tier combat power, if he continues to fight with Shalin, it will be difficult to end the fight once it gets heated.

If Salin were any other profession, then no matter what he said, Anno had no intention of fighting him.

But Salim is a mage.

[Devouring World Reincarnation] Kill him.

then......

"I'm telling you, I've been acting all friendly and mild-mannered, do you really think I'm easy to bully?"

Faced with Sarin's challenge, Anno jumped off the dragon scorpion, walked up to Sarin, glared at him with his mismatched eyes, and said in a sinister tone, "Do you know what despair is? Are you afraid of death?"

Seeing Anno glaring at him as if he wanted to devour him, Shalin suddenly felt a sense of fear.

"Don't be a coward. I'm a seventh-tier mage. I just need to fly into the air and cast a spell on Anno."

To protect Anno, the dragon scorpion will definitely take the initiative to withstand my magic, which will give me a chance to kill it.

In this way, Anno no longer has the right to be arrogant.

After mentally bolstering his courage, Shalin licked his lips and said, "I want to die!"
