I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

"I want to die!"

These words drew strange looks not only from Anno and Lemens, but also from others.

Even Casta and others, who were on the same side as Sarin, looked at Sarin with a strange gaze.

At this moment, Sarin thought to himself: Oh no, I said the wrong thing in my excitement.

That dragon scorpion must have put too much pressure on me. Just wait and see how I kill you.

"So, how about it? Dare to spar with me?"

Having come this far, Sarin had no choice but to repeat himself, albeit reluctantly.

Anno glanced at Lemens and the several high-level professionals around him and said, "Alright, it seems you won't give up unless you show some real skill."

Let me make this clear first: I'm only responsible for the sparring, not for any post-match psychological support!

"Has he not yet shown his true abilities?"

Everyone frowned, pondering the meaning of Anno's last words.

When Shalin heard Anno say that, his heart skipped a beat.

But at this point, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

"Let's begin!"

After Anno finished speaking, he followed the dragon scorpion's pincers and walked onto its back.

Shalin's robes fluttered without wind, and his body flew into the air, standing a hundred meters away from Anno.

"The dragon scorpion doesn't seem to have the ability to fly; Salin wants to use this to launch a long-range attack!"

Seeing this, Troy and the others understood Salin's intentions.

"Currently, Anno's strength is all manifested in his seventh-tier dragon scorpion. If Shalin continues to fly in the air, Anno will be unable to threaten Shalin."

Anno should understand this too, but I wonder how he plans to counter it?

Leimens's expression was full of curiosity.

Regarding Anno's earlier statement that he hadn't shown his true abilities, everyone unanimously believed that Anno might have another Tier 7 summon, and that this summon would most likely be able to fly.

Even so, it shouldn't make Salin feel desperate.

"Anno, I've outmaneuvered you by exploiting the fact that the Dragon Scorpion can't fly. So, you go first this round!"

On the surface, Salin wanted Anno to make the first move, but he just wanted to see what new tricks Anno had up his sleeve so he could respond to any situation with the same strategy.

But to everyone's surprise, Anno smiled and shook his head, saying, "Who told you dragon scorpions can't fly? It's just unnecessary! Stop dawdling, you're a mage, you go first!"

These words infuriated Sarin.

Even though they knew he was a monk, they still let him go first.

"I'll start with level seven!"

Sarin gritted his teeth, waved his wand, and began preparing a seventh-tier spell in mid-air.

"Very good, very energetic!"

Anno watched the magic circle gradually taking shape in the sky and yawned leisurely.

"What on earth is this kid doing?"

Seeing this, Troy, who was watching the battle, couldn't help but say, "He doesn't seem to have any intention of dodging at all. Is he as stupid as Casta, planning to take a seventh-tier spell head-on?"

Casta, who had recovered slightly, coughed suddenly.

Shalin in the sky also saw Anno's nonchalant appearance and was filled with doubt.

This left him momentarily unsure whether he should cast the seventh-tier spell on Anno.

If Anno is as stupid as Casta and tries to take the hit head-on, only to get killed instead, his punishment will definitely not be light.

"Hey, it's been so long and you're still not ready?"

Anno yawned again as he watched as Shalin's magic failed to land.

"Damn it, are you really that confident in the dragon scorpion's defenses?"

Shalin could no longer hold back and unleashed the seventh-tier fire magic he had prepared.

"Seventh-tier magic [Flame of the Dancing Fan]!"

boom!

A pillar of blue flames surged from the magic circle, expanding to a diameter of several meters in the air before spiraling and twisting as it rushed toward Anno.

During flight, fan-shaped firestorms will also burst out from the pillar of fire.

From Anno's perspective, the sky above was almost entirely covered by blue flames.

Anno remained completely unfazed by the situation.

He stepped on the dragon scorpion's back, and a masked figure emerged from the shadows.

The shadow then flew into the sky, actively seeking out the magical flames dancing in the air.

"【Devouring World Reincarnation】!"

Buzz!

A constantly rotating, pitch-black vortex appeared beside the shadow, then suddenly expanded to a range of ten meters.

The surrounding magical flames tried to attack the dragon scorpion below, but were directly pulled in by the vortex's gravity.

"What is it?"

Sarin was startled when he saw this.

The seventh-tier spell that he had prepared with 50,000 mana was swallowed up by a vortex in a short time.

Even a fart can smell bad!

"Where's my magic? Where's my seventh-tier magic?"

As Salin watched the shadow flying towards him, he scratched his head and created some distance between himself and the shadow.

"Again!"

Unconvinced, Shalin flew to the distance of Anno and began preparing for seventh-tier magic once again.

Huff!

The thick pillar of fire continuously spewed out blue flames, and the intense heat turned the surrounding air into a heat wave.

The second [Flame of the Dancing Fan] was then absorbed by the shadow using [Reincarnation of the Devouring World].

Then came the third shot, the fourth shot...

From then on, whether it was seventh-tier magic or mid-tier magic.

As soon as he used it, it was all devoured by the shadow using [Devouring Reincarnation].

In the air, Shalin's face was pale, his hair disheveled, and he kept muttering, "How could this be? How could this be? Why is my magic completely useless? I'm a seventh-tier mage!"

When a mage's magic loses its effect, it's like a man losing his manhood.

The impact of such a blow is unimaginable.

At this point, Salin began to question the meaning of life.

Seeing the shadow rushing towards him, he felt a surge of panic.

How could a mage not be terrified of a creature that could render a mage's magic ineffective?

The high-ranking onlookers couldn't help but discuss as they watched Sarin flee through the air using his flight speed.

"What kind of contraption has Anno created now that can absorb magic?"

"A new summon?"

"A summon that can nullify magic? Do such bizarre summons even exist?"

"I can't believe it, but the facts are undeniable."

"What about Anno does he seem like a newly promoted seventh-tier cultivator?"

"Um... there's something I've wanted to say for a while now. The magical equipment Anno is wearing, and that weapon, look very extraordinary; they're probably not just for show."

Although we know that Summoners are magic-based classes, Anno clearly also has considerable melee capabilities.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have equipped himself with a high-level magical greatsword and a set of knight's armor of unknown quality.

"In other words, even now, Anno isn't using his full strength!"

"It's hard to say about the others, but don't forget that Anno also has dozens of level 35 summons. In actual combat, the role of those summons cannot be ignored."

"The magic isn't working, Salim can't win."

Hearing everyone exaggerating Anno's strength, Casta forced a smile and said, "Although that summon that can absorb magic is powerful, he clearly can't catch up to Shalin. This match can only be considered a draw!"

Just as Casta finished speaking, Anno's shout came from afar.

"Why are you always running away? Are you bullying my summoned creatures because they can't catch you? Well, I'll find you a summoned creature that can catch you and play with it."

Then, to everyone's stunned gaze, a giant wind spirit emerged from the magic circle, its intangible body rushing rapidly toward Shalin.

"Holy shit!"

Seeing a creature he had never seen before appear beside Anno and quickly chase after him, Shalin cursed and attacked with magic.

However, his magic is all consumed by the shadow's skills.

Furthermore, the wind spirits can also retaliate using various wind magic.

Before long, the wind spirit broke through Shalin's magic shield.

Even with the newly replenished magic shield, one can only passively take hits.

As his magic power dwindled, Sarin went from trying to retaliate to focusing on defense, and finally his eyes became lifeless.

Even after the wind spirit disappeared and Anno recalled the shadow, Salin was still somewhat bewildered.

As the group approached Salin, he curled up in a deep absurdity, his back to them.

"So this is what it means to not take responsibility for post-war psychological trauma? Why would someone want to die for no reason?"

Troy shook his head helplessly when he saw that Salin had no injuries.

Psychological trauma cannot be healed by holy light magic.
