I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

"To instantly give a group of fifth or sixth-tier soldiers the strength to fight against a peak seventh-tier shadow... at least they won't be instantly killed by my summoned shadows, this buff is too strong!"

Anno guessed that the strongman's talent [Totem] should be a support-type talent.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, there are many kinds of abilities.

The two debuffs applied to the shadow, along with the two buffs applied to the soldier—lightning and blood—make a total of four abilities!

Previously, the strong man, like the divine messenger, had been hidden within the army, so Anno had not discovered him.

"Three ninth-tier heroes!"

After a moment's thought, Anno decided to send the summoned creature into battle.

Although this might result in the death of some summoned creatures, Anno was worried that things might change if the battle dragged on, so it was better to deal with these three ninth-tier creatures first.

Rumble...

A series of explosions came from the battlefield.

This was caused by the self-destruction of the shadow who was fighting Morton and the divine messenger.

However, it had no effect on the two ninth-tier beings or the surrounding eighth-tier beings.

Because some of his summoned creatures had self-destructed before being killed, Morton was already on guard.

Even though Morton was surrounded by a dozen shadows in a planned attack, he still managed to escape from the blast radius of [King's Might].

Moreover, the shadow's magic power is only one-third of the original body's, and the power of [King's Power] is also much weaker.

As the battle progressed, and the strong man used the [Totem] to strengthen Morton and the other high-ranking members, Morton's strength increased significantly.

The shadow, on the other hand, is affected by various debuffs.

As one side gains and the other loses, the shadows on the battlefield disappear faster and faster.

"Let's all attack together! Our main objective is to take down those three ninth-tier opponents!"

"Roar~!"

After Anno gave the order, Buck was the first to rush forward.

"Again?"

When Morton saw a large number of high-level summoned creatures bursting out of the swirling mist again, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets in astonishment.

He swiftly killed seventh and eighth-tier shadows, but his mana was also being depleted very quickly.

If the mist can continuously release wave after wave of high-level enemies, even a ninth-level enemy cannot withstand it!

"Everyone, listen up!"

Morton forced back the shadows around him and roared at the legion hundreds of meters away, "We'll hold off the high-ranking ones! You charge into the mist, find the target, and kill him!"

After saying that, he gestured to the burly man not far away who was carrying a thick stone pillar and smashing a shadow.

Upon seeing this, the latter used the totem once again.

"【Totem Illusion】, rise!"

With a roar from the burly man Macaros, purple light spread out from the stone pillar in all directions.

The bodies of Morton, the divine messenger, and a group of eighth- and seventh-tier professionals, who were enveloped in purple light, began to split apart.

In the blink of an eye, one person became six.

Originally, the number of high-level divine bloodline professionals who had suffered a significant loss, leaving only a little over a hundred, instantly increased to six or seven hundred!

In addition, there was a three-thousand-strong totem army on the side, which had gathered purple light, lightning, and blood light.

Nearly 20,000 figures overwhelmed the remaining less than 1,000 shadow legions.

Although these totem armies cannot directly confront the shadows, they are sufficient to restrain them.

A shadow suddenly grabbed the charging soldier, intending to slam him flat onto the ground.

But when the giant hand closed, it was discovered that what it had grasped was merely a fragile phantom.

A sound of attack came from the side. Shadow hurriedly defended, but a sword beam that could not be seen cut off half of his arm.

The shadow recognized Morton, the ninth-ranked warrior who had attacked it.

Taking advantage of Shadow's injury, Morton rushed forward again to try and understand Shadow.

Seeing this, Shadow knew his chances of surviving against the other party were slim, so he immediately activated [King's Power]!

Boom!

The shockwave from the explosion instantly shattered hundreds of phantoms and a small number of totem soldiers in the vicinity.

However, the purple light emanating from the stone pillar did not end.

The lost phantoms immediately reappeared from the real body, making up the total number of five phantoms.

"kill!"

The Summoning Legion, charging forward, learned through the shadow of Death Return that the phantom legion was a fake before even making contact with it.

Although the Summoning Legion can summon the Shadow Legion again at this time, it consumes too much magic power, which will have a huge impact on their main combat power.

It's not worth it for the real body to die in battle for a mere shadow.

The clash between the two high-level forces once again ravaged the surrounding plains beyond recognition.

Meanwhile, the fastest cavalry regiment of a thousand men, having received Morton's orders, had already circled around and reached the mist where Anno was located.

"Charge!"

Faced with the fog of uncertainty about their location, all the cavalrymen were terrified and could only try to distract themselves from their fear by constantly shouting.
