I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

"Just an eighth-tier summoner, yet he's this difficult to deal with!"

Morton killed another peak-level eighth-tier summon and took a few breaths during the break.

These summoned creatures are either at the peak of the seventh or eighth tier.

Morton's main targets are eighth-tier peak summons.

Having reached the peak of the eighth rank, even a ninth-ranked individual like him couldn't just kill indiscriminately.

Moreover, there are many seventh-tier peak cultivators who are charging up like their lives depend on it.

This wasn't a one-on-one fight or a tag-team battle; it was a free-for-all.

By now, Morton's stamina has dropped significantly.

It was only then that Morton truly realized how terrifying Anno was.

But if it happened again, he would definitely issue the attack order again.

Because Pandora must be obtained!

The divine messenger absolutely forbade him to retreat.

"That's... Jitter?"

Morton noticed that the fog had dissipated, but before he could take a closer look, he saw a figure swaying and flying toward him.

At first, he didn't recognize it as Jeet, until the man with a missing arm and covered in mushrooms flew a hundred meters away from Morton, at which point he finally recognized him.

"Jite was attacked?"

Morton remembered that Gitt had gone to stop the army's retreat, but how did he end up dragging his battered body back in the blink of an eye?

Seeing that Gitt was about to fall from the sky, Morton quickly flew over.

But Gitt yelled at Morton, "Don't come any closer! The mushrooms on me are contagious; they'll suck the flesh and blood of their host!"

Upon hearing the reminder, Morton immediately stopped and carefully observed the situation.

The mushrooms on Jitter's body were indeed much bigger than before.

Jett himself has also lost a lot of weight!

Moreover, Gitte had many bloody wounds on his body, which Morton, who had experienced countless battles in his life, could tell at a glance were whip marks.

"What exactly happened?"

Morton asked quickly.

Hiss~

As Jitter got up from the ground, he ripped a mushroom off his face, along with a piece of flesh.

But Gitt ignored his own pain and torment and instead told Morton what he had seen.

"Mushrooms are a plague; they spread through spores!"

With high concentration, it should be possible to eliminate these spores before they fully take root and grow.

I was attacked by that succubus just now and had no time to worry about the spores on my body.

It's hopeless now!

At this point, Gitt's entire body was covered in mushrooms.

As he spoke, his flesh withered away at a visible rate.

The largest mushroom was on the back of Jett's neck, almost as big as his head.

"Let's retreat!"

In front of that man lay countless white bones!

The enemy possesses this evil magic, making it impossible for ordinary soldiers to get close to him!

Although there are many of us, we simply cannot reach him!

Gitte's words made Morton's vision go black.

But Morton also knew that Gitt was telling the truth.

Since the start of the war, the Divine Blood Empire has lost nearly half of its soldiers, and they haven't even reached Anno yet.

Even though the Divine Blood Empire has three ninth-tier beings!

"Burn it!"

Jitters forced himself to say, "Burn my body with fire later, otherwise these mushrooms will split and spread their spores after they mature..."

Pfft!

Suddenly, a pair of eerie blue arms emerged from the void beside Git, and the dagger held in those arms pierced Git's back.

"Jite!"

At the same time, Morton was also attacked by a peak eighth-tier summon. Seeing that Gitte had been hit in a vital spot, he couldn't help but get angry.

"Burn...me!"

After saying that, Jitter fell backward.

Morton also knew that Gitt was completely beyond saving.

But by this time, five peak eighth-tier summons had already entangled him, and more than a dozen peak seventh-tier summons were assisting him from the side.

Although these peak seventh-tier guys are relatively easy to deal with, killing them requires a quick retreat, otherwise you will be caught in the self-destruction blast.

When a summoned creature self-destructs, the other summoned creatures nearby will attack frantically in an attempt to hold Morton back.

Morton learned this the hard way before.

So he doesn't have the time to burn Jitter right now.

Just then, a red circular ripple swept across the land.

A large amount of steam instantly rose from the ground, and the covered corpses all burst into flames.

Waves of heat hit Morton's face. He squinted and looked back, only to find that it was Macaros who had created it with the totem pole!

Macaros nodded to Morton, clearly having heard what Gitte had just said.

Morton saw that the mushrooms on Gitte's body burst open after being burned, scattering countless tiny spores, which were then quickly burned to ashes under the scorching halo.

Is this the contagious thing?

Upon seeing this, Morton quickly distanced himself.

Anno has far too many tricks up her sleeve, and we still haven't figured out where her bottom line is.

Morton glanced around and saw that everyone was still struggling.

Remembering Gitte's last advice, Morton gritted his teeth and flew toward the direction of the messenger.

If the divine messenger doesn't summon the Blood God, he's prepared to retreat with his men!
