I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

"Master, the person that man is carrying is Earl Sam's trusted aide, a seventh-tier expert!"

Dart looked up and ran to Anno's side with a look of horror on his face.

"When exactly did you reach the seventh rank?"

Anno ignored the black-robed man above and looked at Dart speechlessly.

The man in black robes has been swaggering in for several minutes now.

As a seventh-tier cultivator, he hadn't noticed anything at all!

Although Anno didn't say anything, Dart seemed to understand what Anno meant from her eyes, and couldn't help but blush.

"I... I only recently advanced to the seventh rank. I haven't... started systematic training yet."

"Alright."

Anno interrupted Dart's explanation, watching as the black-robed figure slowly landed, pulled back his hood to reveal a human face, and frowned, saying, "It seems they don't intend to let us go."

"what?"

Dart swallowed hard, but remembering that Anno still had many monsters, he quickly said, "Master, you're injured. Quickly bring out all your pets to help in the battle."

"No!"

"What?"

"No pets!"

"..."

When Dart saw that Anno wasn't joking, his face turned deathly pale.

No!

No wonder, even though they were so badly injured in the battle just now, they didn't release any monsters to help them.

He didn't have it before!

Now...

Dart watched as the man in black robes dropped the corpse in his hand, and thought with horror: Isn't this a huge crisis!

No, that's not right!

Standing behind Anno, Dart gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

Although Anno lost an arm, he is still very strong.

Even in his current state of combat, Anno is likely to die at the hands of the man in black robes.

But by the time Anno had fought for it, he had enough time to escape.

Thinking of this, Dart cautiously took a few steps back.

The black-robed man opposite them, whose face had already been revealed, was a burly man with brown curly hair.

The armor beneath the black robe gleamed in the sunlight.

He glanced at Dart and said to Anno, "Are those your men?"

Anno curled her lip and said, "Not really! Just an unremarkable guide dog!"

He certainly noticed Dart's little trick.

Dart was originally left behind simply to have a reasonably capable guide during operations in the Principality of Aureber.

According to the original plan, Shadow Anno would deal with Dart once he finished his business and left the Duchy of Aurel.

How can someone who has betrayed others once possibly regain their trust?

Shadow Anno is even less likely to trust Dart!

"Heh~!"

The brown-haired strongman was unaware of the details, so he didn't quite understand the relationship between Anno and Dart.

However, he had come following the sounds of the battle and appeared before this man not to make friends.

Whoosh!

The brown-haired burly man pulled out a two-handed greatsword.

"What a lucky day! I ran into someone with an eighth-tier weapon while out gathering intelligence!"

The burly, brown-haired man licked his lips, grinned at Anuo, and said, "This experience gained for free, why not take it!"

As he spoke, the brown-haired strongman unleashed a surge of magical power from his body.

Level 45!

Peak of the eighth rank!

Moreover, it's a melee class.

Given Shadow Anno's current physical condition, he has virtually no chance of winning.

However, there was no fear on Shadow Anno's face.

He stared at the other person for a moment before asking, "The Duchy of Aurel... surely there's no one named you here!"

A peak eighth-tier expert.

On the continent of Angomulos, they already belong to the ranks of super strong individuals—excluding the God Hunters!

Especially in the Duchy of Aurel, it is impossible to be nameless.

But Anno didn't know the other person at all.

Moreover, the fact that he killed Count Sam's seventh-rank guard right from the start clearly indicates that he came with strong hostility.

Why are Count Sam's men here?

"My name is not for the dying to know!"

The burly man lowered his body, placing his two greatswords behind his right side, assuming a charging stance.

boom!

A blur streaked toward Anno.

Anno's eyes widened suddenly, and just as the other person was about to rush over, he flipped over the burly man's head.

When one of them was in the air and the other was on the ground, time seemed to slow down.

It was at this moment that Anno realized that the attack might not have been directed at him.

As they crossed paths, the burly man dragged his greatsword along the ground, carving a furrow in the process!

"what!"

The burly man moved like the wind, passing Anno and rushing towards Dart.

When Dart saw Anno and the burly man preparing to fight, his small retreat turned into a long run.

But the burly man who caught up with him cleaved him in two with a single sword stroke.

"Consider this a gift from me to you, as the first powerful being I've encountered in this world!"

The burly man flicked the blood off his sword and aimed it at Anno again.

"Thank you so much!"

Anno felt nothing about Dart's death.

The burly man's intervention was a help to Anno.

However, the burly man's words revealed a piece of information.

He is not a human from Ungomulos!

"Someone from another dimension? The first powerful individual we've encountered. It seems they haven't been here long."

Just then, the burly man rushed over with a sword in hand.

The burly man was one of the people who came to the continent of Angomulos from the dimensional portal of Fallen God Peak.

His main purpose in appearing here was to gather detailed information about this plane.

I sensed strong magical fluctuations along the way.

When they arrived, they found Anno, who had finished the battle.

An eighth-tier warrior who had lost an arm—he thought Anno was a warrior, and that killing him might allow him to break through to the eighth tier.

So the burly man attacked and killed the mediocre seventh-tier guard (Earl Sam's bodyguard), preparing to fight Anno.

"Roar~!"

"Hiss~!"

Two angry roars rang out beside Anno.

The wind elemental spirit and the ice elemental spirit appeared in front of Anno and pounced on each other!
