I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

"This is?"

Just seeing this armor, Anno felt an indescribable evil aura emanating from it.

It's as if this armor is alive; once you put it on, you'll be devoured!

However, this set of armor is similar in style to the one Anno had damaged before; it belongs to the heavy knight armor category.

Basically, the entire body is protected by armor, and there are retractable blades at the joints.

A dragon-faced belt was tied around his waist, and his gaping, ferocious mouth seemed to be about to devour everything.

However, the helmet was designed to resemble a scorpion helmet!

At the jawline, the helmet splits open to the sides, resembling the head of a real scorpion.

The full-coverage helmet resembled a gem embedded between the eyebrows, with a miniature dragon scorpion tail hanging down its back.

"You made another set using dragon scorpion materials?"

After looking around, Anno felt that the overall shape was similar to the previous armor.

The biggest change is the aura of this armor.

Anno felt some pressure!

"That's right, it was made using materials from a dragon scorpion, based on the model of your previous set!"

Chiron paused here, then asked in suspense, "But do you know what grade of dragon scorpion material was used to forge this armor for you?"

At this point in Chiron's speech, Anno suddenly realized what was going on.

No wonder this armor always exudes a creepy aura.

This may be related to the strength of the dragon scorpion in the past.

And what makes Anno uncomfortable...

"Could it be made from the shell of a ninth-tier dragon scorpion?"

Anno's eyes lit up.

But to everyone's surprise, Chiron shook his head and replied, "This armor was named the Demon Slayer Set—Hawthorne—by its forger, who is also my father!"

"What? Hawthorne?"

Anno was utterly shocked.

Who is Hawthorne?

O Dragon Scorpion God!

That guy who used Pandora to create two new dragon scorpion gods, and then, when he was at a disadvantage, released dozens of lower-level gods from Pandora!

"Hawthorne is the name of the scorpion god that we learned from the God Hunters."

Chiron continued, "Hawthorne was also wounded in that war, and we found a piece of his shell that had fallen off."

"The Demon Slayer Hawthorne was forged by my father himself, in collaboration with dozens of the most skilled blacksmiths in the Dwarven Kingdom, over nearly two months in the [Inner Forge]!"

Kairon touched the Demon Slayer Set and suddenly sighed, saying, "Unfortunately, all the forgers involved, including my father, were using divine materials for the first time."

The crafted Demon Slayer Set did not actually fully utilize the power of the god-tier materials.

Therefore, the Demon Slayer cannot be considered a divine artifact!

However, its defensive capabilities easily surpass those of ordinary ninth-tier magical equipment.

After listening, Anuo finally understood.

Although this Demon Slayer Set was supposed to be a reward for Anno, it seemed more like a trial piece made by the Dwarf King after obtaining god-level materials!

But Anno also had to admire the Dwarf King's spirit.

He actually wanted to create a divine artifact using a mortal body!

Let's not even talk about whether the Dwarf King can succeed in the future with this experience.

That spirit alone deserves praise!

Anno didn't care whether it was a failure or not—if it wasn't a failure, he wouldn't have a chance to be involved!

The previous Dragon Scorpion set was only a Tier 7 magic set.

This set in front of us is a top-quality ninth-tier magic set.

Its defensive capabilities far surpass those of ordinary ninth-tier magic equipment.

After all, it was made from the hard carapace of a dragon scorpion.

I have no idea what the [Earth's Core Forge] is, that it can forge a god-level dragon scorpion armor.

"How about it? Want to try it out now and see if it's working well?"

Seeing Anno's eager expression, Kailong couldn't help but laugh.

In fact, Chiron was also very envious of this set of equipment.

He couldn't understand why his father, who had painstakingly forged the Demon Slayer Set, didn't keep it for himself but instead gave it to Anno as payment.

Even if my father does forge a divine artifact in the future, the Demon Slayer Set will still be incredibly precious.

Moreover, Chiron felt that the possibility of his father forging a divine artifact was extremely slim.

"Then let's give it a try!"

Anno immediately summoned two creatures to carry the armor into the room.

A few minutes later, a knight in black armor walked out of the room into the courtyard.

Boom!

As Anno approached, the soldiers in the courtyard felt an immense sense of oppression wash over them. Especially when their eyes met the red-glowing eyes of the dragon-head belt on the Demon Slayer Suit, they couldn't help but kneel down!

In their view, Anno was shrouded in black mist.

The black mist formed a three-meter-tall dragon scorpion above, radiating a terrifying sense of oppression!

Anno asked with a puzzled tone, "Your Highness Kairon, why do I feel like all my magic power is being drained away at an extremely rapid pace after putting on this armor?"

After putting on the armor in the room, Anno noticed that the armor was absorbing his magic.

At the same time, Anno felt the heavy armor become lighter.

Anno initially thought that the various spells or gems on the armor had absorbed magical power.

But later Anno felt that the magic was moving a little too fast.

Anno is level 44 and has 380 million magic power.

In less than a minute, 10 units of his magic power had already been absorbed!

If this happened during a battle, you'd be drained dry before the fight even started.

"This...this is...a deterrent magic specially etched on the dragon's waist...belt. You...you shut it off first! Block...the magic flow...from the waist...that should do it!"

Chiron seemed to be under immense pressure; his facial expression was distorted, and he had difficulty speaking.

Upon hearing this, Anno immediately did as Kailong instructed.

Sure enough, after the magic flow to the waist and abdomen was cut off, the rate of magic loss decreased instantly.

The remaining consumption is even less than the rate at which Anno's magic power automatically regenerates.

"Phew!"

Chiron let out a heavy sigh.

The soldiers from the city lord's mansion who had been kneeling nearby also stood up, panting heavily.

Then Chiron began to explain: "The main body of the Demon Slayer Set is the carapace of the Dragon Scorpion God, which possesses evil energy—that's what we'll call it for now!"

Especially if Hawthorne is still alive, this ever-present malevolent energy could very well backfire on the person wearing it.

The king tried everything but failed to evolve the evil nature.

Ultimately, a master blacksmith proposed an etching magic circle, guiding the evil energy to gather within it before releasing it. Its effect is similar to a shock spell, instilling fear in those weaker than oneself!

We've tested it before.

The intimidation spell can be turned on and off as you just did.

However, it needs to be used once every 48 hours, releasing the accumulated evil energy for about ten minutes.

The energy released is equivalent to a seventh-tier shock spell!

Of course, the more frequently you activate it, the lower the grade of the shock spell will be.

Anno lifted his mask and continued, "So, if I don't release the evil energy for more than 48 hours, but wait 60 or even 72 hours before releasing it, the power of the deterrent magic will be even greater?"

"Theoretically, it can unleash a shock spell equivalent to the ninth rank, making it difficult for high-ranking beings nearby to move."

But we don't recommend you do that!

Chiron shook his head and said seriously, "The risk of doing that is too great, and it could very well have irreversible effects on you."

That level of intimidation magic can even affect you.

Moreover, the consumption of magic power is enormous, and it is very likely that your magic power will be drained in just a few breaths.

The consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, you should absolutely not attempt to do so.
