I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Clang!

The water arrow was shot in front of Anno, but was blocked by a transparent magical barrier.

As Anno turned around, the Dragon Scorpion Tail Cannon Sword appeared in his hand.

"Seahorse Warrior? Sea Clan? Seventh Tier?"

Anno saw the seahorse-like monster, more than two meters tall, flying above the river, and his doubts deepened.

He never expected that not only were there demons here, but also sea creatures.

After seeing his first wave of attacks blocked, the level 36 seahorse named Rutherford charged forward with his trident.

Facing a seventh-tier opponent, Anno dared not be careless and immediately summoned a seventh-tier dragon scorpion!

Ding~!

The trident and the scorpion's pincers clashed together, producing a metallic clang.

"Roar~!"

The dragon scorpion let out a roar, and its sharp tail stinger pierced towards Rutherford from above.

Rutherford quickly pulled away and retreated back onto the river.

"A seventh-tier human?"

Rutherford looked at Anno and Dragon Scorpion with a puzzled expression and a somewhat serious look in his eyes.

In the past year, in order to find the seal of the Deep Sea Fairy, a large number of sea warriors have climbed onto land to search for clues.

Rutherford finally found a clue to the dungeon, only to discover that the dungeon's restrictions prevented the sea creatures from entering.

This infuriated Rutherford, but it also ignited a spark of hope within him.

The underground city, which sea creatures are not allowed to enter, is very likely the place where the Deep Sea Demoness is sealed.

In order to find out what was going on inside, Rutherford planned to have his people deliver the method of entering the dungeon to the human lords who lived near the Storm Sea in a discreet manner.

Because the underground city is located in Sunset Land, the sea creatures first targeted the lord of Sunset City.

During his observations, Rutherford discovered that demons existed in Sunset City.

Based on Rutherford's understanding of demons, their appearance in human cities is nothing more than a prey for human souls.

As Rutherford had predicted, the demon hidden in the city lord's mansion rose from the third rank to the sixth rank in just about six months!

Only Marcus knows how many citizens of Sunset City went missing during this period.

However, that's a story for later. When Rutherford discovered the existence of demons in the Lord's mansion, he decided to use both Gilbert and the demons.

Thus, by a "coincidence," Gilbert obtained the Dungeon Manual, while Antoine, a frequent visitor to Sunset City, obtained Truman's Notes.

After that, Rutherford remained hidden in the lord's manor, constantly keeping tabs on Gilbert's progress in the dungeon.

Although Gilbert explored the dungeons very slowly, and Marcus never ventured into them voluntarily for his own safety.

However, the sea creatures could not teleport into the dungeon, so Rutherford could only place his hopes on Gilbert.

In fact, Rutherford had recently been preparing to kill Marcus.

This guy, in his capacity as the chief steward, murdered many of the people and professionals, and it was all covered up in the end.

If it continues to grow, Sunset Lands may very well nurture a seventh-tier demon.

At that time, Rutherford might not even be a match for him.

But before Rutherford could make a move, an outsider suddenly barged into the situation.

"Was this a consequence of problems on Antoine's side? Weren't people already sent to clean up the mess?"

Rutherford gripped his weapon tightly, frowning as he looked at the human not far away. "The plan has been going on for over half a year; we absolutely cannot let this human ruin it!"

A large amount of water element gathered at the tip of Rutherford's trident, forming a spring without a source, which then circled in the air before shooting towards Anno.

At the same time, Rutherford vanished from his spot, and a trident gleaming with a cold light appeared before Anno.

when!

Anno dodged the water arrow and swung his sword to block Rutherford's attack.

Then, during Rutherford's retreat, Anno swung his greatsword from a distance.

"Hmph, you can't hit him at this distance... What?"

Rutherford, who was about to mock Anno, suddenly noticed a change in the greatsword; the blade suddenly lengthened and coiled around him like a giant python.

Stab it!

The chain sword collided with the trident, its tail wrapping around Rutherford's body, the sharp blade instantly tearing several horrific wounds into him.

Whoosh!

The chain sword was merged.

Anno looked at the bits of flesh and blood on the greatsword and raised an eyebrow at Rutherford!

"A trivial skill!"

Rutherford snorted and slapped his body with his left paw, causing the wound to immediately glow.

The wound on his back healed immediately at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He then leaped into the air, his trident flashing through the air with impenetrable force.

As if drawn by a force, the river below surged into a giant wave several meters high, crashing towards Anno!

The adjacent garden was instantly shattered by the surging waves!

Boom boom boom!

The dragon scorpion rushed from the side to Anno and blocked the giant wave.

scoff!

Because of the large volume of river water, even though the dragon scorpion planted its legs into the ground, it was still swept back more than ten meters!

"Combat Skill [Wave Flash]!"

Taking advantage of the dragon scorpion being distracted, Rutherford, who was in mid-air, raised his hands above his head and made a grasping motion. The trident floating in the air shimmered with blue light, which then converged at the tip of the trident and struck Anno's position with a dazzling light.

I thought Anno had run out of tricks this time.

But at the crucial moment, another dragon scorpion crawled out from the shadow of the dragon scorpion and stood in front of Anno, clamping the trident with its pincers!

Boom!

The constantly spinning trident unleashed a powerful shockwave.

The dragon scorpion's pincers were blasted into pieces.

The surrounding castle buildings were largely destroyed by the shockwave.

However, the power of the trident's attack was also largely depleted, and it was easily blocked by Anno's Dragon Scorpion Tail Cannon Sword.

"Is there one more?"

Rutherford, who had used magic to retrieve his weapon, stared wide-eyed at the newly appeared seventh-tier dragon scorpion on the field. His eyes narrowed in shock as he exclaimed, "And my attack only shattered one of its pincers?"

Two extremely powerful magical beasts, plus a seventh-tier human.

"One against three, this is troublesome!"

Rutherford was having a bit of a headache.

Anno and the two magical beasts were at the same level as it.

If one were to force a fight in this situation, one would inevitably fall into a disadvantageous position.

"I need to send a signal to the tribe so they can send troops to support us. My current task is simply to tie them down!"

Rutherford devised a strategy in an instant and took out a conch from his waist, ready to awaken the [Magic Conch]!

【Mother and Child Demonic Snails】are born as a pair, which is very rare, and they are usually in a dormant state.

Touching any one of the Magic Sound Snails will trigger the other snails within a certain range, waking both the mother and daughter snails.

After awakening the sleeping Magic Sound Conch, the party holding the Magic Sound Conch can simultaneously transmit messages to the other party.

The effective sound transmission distance is related to the strength of the mother and daughter sound-transmitting conch shells.

Rutherford is holding a seventh-tier sound transmission conch, with an effective range of one thousand miles!

The land of sunset is only about 600 miles from the edge of the storm sea. As long as Rutherford awakens the conch shell in his hand, he can convey what is happening to his people.

"I......"

Rutherford, who had just uttered a single word, glanced at Anno and then realized that he had suddenly changed his position.

Towering peaks, desolate plains, and massive boulders!

There were still two full moons shining brightly in the sky!
