I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

In Sunset City, a lich who was studying magic books suddenly vanished from his spot, the book falling to the ground.

A few seconds later, the lich was summoned again.

This time, however, the lich appeared beside Anno.

"Master, nothing has happened in Sunset City for the time being!"

When the lich saw Anno, he assumed that Anno had summoned him to learn about the situation in Sunset City.

But the next second, he noticed that the situation around him was somewhat dangerous.

Putting aside the sea creatures on the other side, the high-ranking humans around him seemed rather pathetic.

The hunter with the severed arm still appears to be capable of fighting.

But the thief seemed like he could die at any moment if he didn't receive treatment.

Swish!

The lich immediately brandished his black staff, casting an undead shield on himself and Anno.

"Anno, is this what you mean?"

Alpha frowned, looking at the helmeted lich, and asked疑惑地问道, "This magic fluctuation... it's level 35, not level 7!"

When the lich used his magical shield, everyone sensed his level from the magical fluctuations emanating from him.

"Hold on!"

Anno looked at the lich and said, "Get ready, I'm going to promote you to a higher rank!"

The lich was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with ecstasy.

Buck had previously advanced to the seventh rank, which made him extremely envious.

"Thank you, Master. I'm all ready. Come on!"

The lich puffed out his withered chest and spread his arms.

Seeing this, Haskin, the gunfish man opposite, asked nervously, "What are they doing?"

"Anyway, it's not a good thing for us!"

The catfish-man Mansfield shouted to the octopus-man beside him, whose tentacles were flapping wildly, "Attack!"

Whizzing!

The catfish man's beard and the octopus man's tentacles instantly extended, attacking Anno and his group.

At the same time, Haskin led the crab people, shrimp people, and the remaining two sea creatures to rush up to Anno.

"Let's buy some time!"

Warrior Kuro and Knight Alpha flashed from both sides to stand in front of Anno, blocking the attacks from Mansfield and the Octopus Man.

The Assassin held an arrow in his mouth, took out a piece of parchment with his right hand and stuck it on the arrow, then raised his left leg to brace against the bow, and pinched the arrow with his right hand to draw the string.

The series of movements were completed in one smooth motion.

call out!

An arrow was shot toward Haskin, the gunfish man who was charging forward.

Assassins knew that Haskin's sharp beak would become exponentially more threatening once he increased his speed, which was why he wanted to stop him.

If Haskin doesn't change direction, he will collide with the arrow.

If you change direction, your sprint speed will drop sharply.

Pa~!

A thick octopus tentacle suddenly appeared in front of Haskin, allowing arrows to strike it.

Then the tentacles grew upwards.

boom!

The arrows, imbued with explosive magic runes, exploded in mid-air, their tentacles shattering into pieces that fell in all directions.

boom!

Another explosion.

This time it was the dragon scorpion's [Tail Sting Cannon] that interrupted Haskin's charge.

At this point, Anno had already integrated the souls of the sea creatures he had killed in the Evil King's domain and the clownfish that had been blown up by the Dragon Scorpion's shadow into the Lich's core.

The lich's core was hidden in his abdomen; it was a jet-black bead.

After the two red souls merged into the bead, the various magical patterns on the lich's body suddenly began to light up, and wisps of black mist poured out from his seven orifices.

Anno glanced at the lich's condition and estimated that it might take some time.

A lich that reaches the seventh tier should not have the same seventh-tier skill as Buck, which comes with the [True Magic Liberation] skill.

However, as a magic-based character, each advancement will significantly increase the maximum magic power.

Moreover, this is a leap from the intermediate level to the advanced level.

If a seventh-tier lich were to use [King's Power], its power would likely reach that of a high-level seventh-tier spell.

Even if the lich's shadow, which possesses one-third of the maximum magic power, were to self-destruct, its power would be enough to instantly injure and kill the opposing sea creature!

Rutherford's Shadow self-destruction had only seriously injured Clara.

Clara held off Anno for another five or six minutes within the Evil King's domain.

......

Anno, Kuro, Alpha, and Dragon Scorpion stood in front, while the Assassins provided remote support. The heavily injured Roger could only stay next to the Assassins.

Boom boom boom!

After the two sides clashed again, a fierce battle immediately ensued.

Through previous contact, both sides had gained some understanding of the enemy's attack methods.

After analyzing this intelligence, both sides launched targeted attacks.

Kuro and Alpha have both been targeted by their old rivals.

The dragon scorpion is quite powerful and can hold off two opponents, one of whom is a rather troublesome octopus-man.

Anno was besieged by the gunfish man Haskin and the catfish man Mansfield.

Assassins and Roger fought and distanced themselves from the last sea creature.

Haskin and Mansfield, working together, were basically dominating Anno.

Even though Anno was wearing the best gear, he still suffered quite a few injuries.

But Haskins and his companion were clearly the more panicked ones.

"Get out of my way!"

Mansfield used his tentacles to pull Anno in front of him, and a heavy punch even dented the armor on Anno's chest.

Pfft!

Anno's body arched into a shrimp-like shape as he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Instead of taking the opportunity to attack Anno, Haskin charged towards the lich.

He could sense the lich's magical energy fluctuations rising.

If they don't stop it in time, they might be facing a seventh-tier lich!

Is a lich without tier 7 skills terrifying?

Of course it's terrifying!

It's not like only seventh-tier magic can harm seventh-tier sea creatures!

Even if a seventh-tier fighter doesn't adopt a defensive stance, they wouldn't dare stand still and be attacked by fifth- or sixth-tier magic or combat skills.

Being hit by magic or combat techniques will also result in injury.

Furthermore, once they reach the seventh tier, the casting speed of magic-based creatures will increase by another level.

Didn't you see that at the very beginning of the battle, the human's seventh-tier mage and eighth-tier priest were taken to other places by the eighth-tier turtleman Pope?

I'm afraid these 'magic turrets' might change the course of the game!

However, the advancement of summoned creatures doesn't take long anyway.

Moreover, Anno has bought a lot of time.

Just as Haskin was about to reach the lich, the latter opened its eyes and then its body exploded into a cloud of black mist.

Haskin rushed into the black fog and quickly emerged from the other side.

He stopped and turned around, preparing to rush into the black mist to find the lich, when he discovered that a bone spur suddenly pierced out from the sole of his foot!

Tap tap tap...

A row of bone spikes forced Haskin to keep retreating.

When the bone spikes stopped, Haskin looked up and saw a lich with a staff emerging from the mist.

Apart from a few sparse hairs growing on his gray scalp, the lich's appearance remained unchanged.

However, a level 36 lich's maximum mana has increased to 750,000!

It's only 50,000 less than Anno's maximum magic power!

"Hahaha......"

The lich emerged from the mist with a maniacal laugh and stuck out its tongue at Haskin, making a face at him.

"hateful!"

Haskin cursed under his breath.

He wasn't angry that the lich was making faces.

Instead, he was furious that he hadn't been able to kill the lich.

"However, killing you now is the same; it will just give me more combat experience."

Haskin dodged the lich's necromancy again, and suddenly noticed that something seemed wrong with the lich's body; it opened its mouth and spat out a black bead.

Holy crap!

The lich cried out in surprise, quickly picked up the core from the ground, put it in his mouth, and swallowed it again.

Then he looked up and saw a sharp, spear-like creature rushing towards him.

Holy crap!

The lich's face showed panic, and he turned to return to the distant black mist.

Haskin was certain that his long beak could easily pierce through the lich's body.

Both the internal organs and the core will instantly turn into powder.

But for some reason, Haskin had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

*Smack!*

A dozen tentacles suddenly appeared from the side, several of which successfully grabbed the rapidly charging spearfish man.

The immense impact nearly snapped the tentacles off!

But the octopus-man still managed to pull Haskin back.

Although he didn't hear any warning, Haskin already sensed that something was wrong.

After being pulled back, Haskin discovered that the tentacles on his body had not loosened, so he tore them off himself and then stared at the lich.

"That meddlesome fellow deserves to be eaten!"

After the lich finished speaking, his body suddenly transformed into Anor's appearance.
