I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

"Don't think I don't know, this totem pole is your true form!"

Upon hearing this, Macaros's mind went blank for a moment.

How did he know?

This is my deepest secret!

"Mr. Macaros, should I have my men cut down the totem pole to verify this conclusion?"

Anno took off his helmet and gave Macas a smile.

"You... monster!"

Macaros's last secrets have been discovered, and he has completely lost his will to fight.

He deliberately described the totem pole as a divine artifact, even suggesting that having it nearby could enhance one's strength.

The goal was to make Anno carry the totem pole at all times, and then, at a crucial moment, to backstab Anno!

There's no way they could win a head-on fight against Anno.

Anno has only used three Tier 9 summons so far, and he still hasn't used thousands of Tier 7 and Tier 8 summons.

Only a sneak attack could defeat Anno.

"You bastard!"

Upon hearing Macaros curse Anno, Buck swiftly slashed across the totem pole with his two blood claws, leaving more than a dozen marks.

Macaros, lying on the ground, was vomiting blood violently.

"interesting!"

Seeing this, Anno couldn't help but wonder what the purpose of Macaros's [Totem] was.

He noticed something was wrong with Macaros because he saw that the [Totem Pole] had a level and health points, and its name was also Macaros.

How could Anno not be suspicious of a totem pole bearing the same name as the human Macaros?

During the battle just now, when Ulma used [Tear Through the Sky - Mountain Breaker] on Macaros, she didn't hold back!

But Macaros's head was not blown off.

It was at that moment that Anno discovered that Macaros's physical life points instantly dropped to zero, but then recovered to one-third of their original value in an instant.

Despite the extent of Macaros's physical injuries, the totem pole's health did not decrease.

This also confirms Anno's conjecture that the human Macaros fighting outside is just a puppet.

That special totem pole is the real Macaros.

"What exactly is the principle behind this? Can inanimate objects possess protection? Manipulation of puppets? Parasitism? Or symbiosis?"

You guessed wrong!

Covered in blood, Macaros lay on his back on the ground, gazing at the blood moon and the bright moon in the sky, and couldn't help but exclaim, "What a beautiful moon!"

Perhaps knowing that he was truly doomed, Macaros paused for a moment before continuing, "I am the real Macaros!"

However, I stripped my soul onto the totem pole.

No, it should be said that my soul became the totem pole!

We are not two individuals, but one!

"Stripping away the soul?"

Anno asked in surprise, "Is this even possible?"

"..." Macaros remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, "In my opinion, your magical power ceiling is truly incredible!"

Is he simply ignorant?

Where can someone have tens of millions of magic power at the ninth rank?

He is, after all, a magic-based class, and his magic power is only 300 million.

Moreover, Macaros always felt that those thousands of high-level summons were also contrary to common sense.

However, Macaros lacked common sense about summoners, so he couldn't be sure.

"From what you just said, you're saying that after I kill your physical body, you can still live?"

Anno continued, "But after I destroyed the totem pole, you were completely dead, right?"

Macaros nodded helplessly.

"The soul is the foundation. As long as the soul within the totem pole remains, the body can be reconstructed through the consumption of magic."

Anno murmured, "The Blessing [Totem] seems to have a more complex effect than I thought!"

"Heh, you even know that now!"

At this point, Macaros believed that no one had betrayed the Holy War Army or him.

Because the information Anno possesses is beyond what others can convey.

He never mentioned his talent to anyone around him.

Even his descendants don't know!

After thinking for a while, Anno released the Evil King Domain.

Once back on the plains, Macaros had no intention of running away.

All the high-ranking members of the Holy War Army have been killed in battle, and Anno's other combined summons have disintegrated (Bark's fused summons after being summoned back by Anno in Chapter 829 have been corrected). They are now hunting down the remaining Blood Legion.

Despite the summoned creatures being weakened, the Holy Army was no match for them.

The scene was basically a one-sided massacre.

Anno also sent Ulma and a ninth-tier dragon scorpion to help.

"To be honest, Urma and Dragon Scorpion, who were fighting you just now, were both my enemies before."

Anno suddenly said something that puzzled Macaros, and then continued, "You saw Ulma's body too."

I can bring back to life those I have killed in another form, have them acknowledge me as their master, and make them fight for me!

Macaros, do you... understand what I mean?
