I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

After entering the ruins, Philomena noticed that Anno hadn't followed, and her brows furrowed.

She didn't think Anno didn't go in because she was afraid.

It's clear that the two of them are now facing their most difficult situation.

"Were we separated?"

Philomena gripped her staff, her gaze sweeping across the dark cave.

Although there was no light source, it did not prevent her from seeing her surroundings clearly.

Ding~ Ring ring...

"What does this sound mean?"

As Philomena walked, she heard the sound of wind chimes coming from ahead.

"Is anyone there?"

Philomena quickly waved her staff and summoned a yellow sphere.

After the sphere appeared, it immediately floated forward.

Ring ring ring...

After the yellowish-brown sphere floated past, it was discovered that a monster with an unreadable form and a musical note mask was standing inside the cave, and the sound of wind chimes was coming from him.

After receiving feedback from the tan sphere, Philomena ordered a probing attack.

Upon receiving the instruction, the tan sphere immediately emitted a ray.

However, the attack was ineffective and instead attracted the enemy's attention.

Then the yellowish-brown sphere began to grow larger and gradually transformed into a human shape.

"Damn it, there's even a guardian! Earth Elemental General, go!"

Philomena ordered the summoned elemental generals to pursue and hunt down the guardians within the ruins.

Of course, after so many years, no one knows whether the guardian here is still the guardian.

They might have turned into a bunch of crazy people who just want to get out.

Perhaps because the Earth Elemental General was too powerful, after one of the note monsters died, the others escaped.

Philomena didn't want these monsters to spread the news and alert the guardians of the ruins.

At the same time, Philomena also summoned the creatures from the Summoning Throne.

Six-winged angels, eight-armed demons, night elves, gun-wielding dwarves, and other smaller summoned creatures instantly appeared around Philomena and split up to explore the surrounding passages.

......

While escaping, Anno noticed that the monster that was chasing him could not be seen through, but it was wearing a mask with "♪" engraved on its face.

"Could this be a relic of a music god?"

Hearing the sounds of the summoned creatures fighting at the rear, Anno thought to himself: I've never heard of any deity related to music!

We have absolutely no intelligence!

Suddenly, Anno stopped running abruptly, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

"We're...we're surrounded!"

At the fork in the road ahead of Anno, several musical note monsters stood at the intersection, the sound of wind chimes emanating from their bodies seeming to mock them.

Anno considered using the [Observer] to uncover information about the monsters.

However, the mask on the monster's face seems to have defensive magic to prevent detection.

Anno can't see any information.

Previously, this only happened when encountering targets whose level exceeded Anno's by ten levels.

But now, there's another one.

"This mask is definitely a good thing."

Anno licked his lips as he looked at the several musical note monsters rushing towards him.

The problem is, he has to be alive to take it!

If on an open plain, Anno can instantly summon an army of summoned creatures.

But inside the narrow passage, Anno worried that he would be killed by the aftershocks of the battle between the summoned creatures and the note monsters!

"Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to give it our all!"

This terrain is extremely disadvantageous to Anno, so Anno plans to bring the note monsters into the Evil King's territory to fight.

While using the Evil King's Domain, Anno prayed in his heart that there wouldn't be too many of these ninth-tier musical note monsters.

The Evil King's Domain can lock onto three targets at once.

Anno took away the three musical note monsters directly.

But then, something unexpected happened.

Within the Evil King's Domain.

Just as Anno was about to summon an army of summoned creatures and then create a combined summon to fight against the ninth-tier musical note monster.

The musical note masks on the faces of the three ninth-tier musical note monsters that were brought in slowly dissipated.

The previously unexplorable state has now become excavable.

Anno looked at the demons, elves, and dwarves in front of him, his face darkening.

[Observer] is displayed.

These are all summoned creatures!

And they are all Philomena's summons!

"How could this happen?"

Anno was momentarily stunned.

The musical note monsters encountered in the cave were all summoned by Philomena.

But Philomena would never lay a hand on him!

"Hey you guys, where's Philomena now?"

Anno had never seen Philomena's summons before.

He also thought that these summoned creatures were like his own and could be communicated with.

But to his surprise, these summoned creatures completely ignored Anno.

Even without the musical note masks, they still attacked Anno.

"Damn, don't these things Philomena made have any intelligence?"

When Anno saw that the three summoned creatures had lifeless eyes, he cursed Philomena in his heart.

According to Anno's speculation, these mindless summons might have received orders from Philomena to eliminate the enemy.

That's why they continued to attack Anno.

As for why Philomena considered him an enemy...

Perhaps in Philomena's eyes, Anno and Anno's summoned creatures are also musical note monsters!

"There's definitely something wrong with the wind chimes outside!"

As Anno combined his summoned creatures to fight Philomena's summoned creatures, he began to think.

Anything that can affect cognition must be magic related to the mind.

Anno was unaffected within the Evil King's Domain because he was no longer inside the cave and could not hear the wind chimes.

"That means Philomena and I were already under the influence of mental magic when we came in!"

After reaching a conclusion, Anno began to think about how to break the deadlock.

Exploring ruins ultimately requires leaving the site.

This means that they will always be affected by mental magic.

The current situation can be resolved if Philomena realizes that the musical note monsters are actually on their side, summoned by Anno and Anno, and everyone stops fighting!

The key is to inform Philomena of this message.

"Although I haven't tried it in a long time, I can enter Philomena's divine space. Using that, I should be able to achieve my goal!"

Anno's eyes flashed as he prepared to dispel the Evil King's Domain and then enter Philomena's Divine Space.

However, when Anno appeared in the stone cave outside, the several musical note monsters beside him not only did not attack him, but instead lined up to form a pattern that Anno was very familiar with.

A six-pointed star!
