I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

"Looks like I'm going to kill two birds with one stone!"

Dickens chuckled evilly, and the next moment his figure turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared into the shadow space.

The creatures searching for Dickens' summoned creatures suddenly discovered a crack emanating a black aura where Dickens had previously been, and then a figure wielding a scythe rushed out from it.

scoff!

A summoned creature not far from the crack was sliced ​​in half by the rushing Deakins.

"【King's Power】!"

The humanoid monster, now only its upper body remaining, reacted swiftly, grabbing Dickens's clothes before self-destructing.

Boom!

The shockwave from the explosion prevented the surrounding summoned creatures from getting in.

But soon, Dickens, dressed in rags, emerged from the flames of the explosion.

"Stop him!"

As the eighth-tier peak lich standing at the rear raised his hand and flung out a cloud of black mist, he issued commands to the summoned creatures around him.

Then, hundreds of figures formed the first line of defense in the direction Dickens was advancing.

"Annoying bugs!"

Dickens snorted coldly, his scythe spinning rapidly in his hand, and with lightning speed, he beheaded an eighth-tier peak summon that charged at him.

bang bang bang ......

More summoned creatures rushed forward and engaged Deakins in melee combat.

The strength of a single summoned creature is no match for Deakins.

However, with a large number of them, Dickens was completely unable to break through the encirclement, and because of the ability to fight in waves, Dickens's killing power against summoned creatures decreased significantly.

"You got entangled so easily?"

Macaros, who was casting a buff on his summoned creature, frowned when he saw Dickens being blocked, and began to look around.

As someone who had signed a slave contract, if Anno died, Macaros would also be buried with him.

"【Totem - Light of True Vision】!"

Buzz!

Macaros' totem pole began to radiate outwards in concentric, barely perceptible, transparent ripples.

When the ripples touched the bodies of the summoned creatures around them, some of them continued to spread through the creatures, while others bounced back, feeding back information to Macaros.

"Um?"

Macaros suddenly sensed something was wrong.

About 500 meters to the left rear of Anno, there is a lurking creature that is slowly approaching.

"Master, be careful!"

Five hundred meters is already a very dangerous distance.

As Macaros gave the warning, he had already flashed behind Anno.

Meanwhile, Deakins, in stealth mode, accelerated and charged toward Anno.

As Macaros swung his scythe and approached Anno from behind, Macaros had already arrived behind Anno with the totem pole in hand, ready to help Anno block the attack.

"Hmph!"

Dickens, raising his scythe in preparation for the strike, smirked and brought it down with a heavy blow.

Normally, the falling scythe would be blocked by Macaros' totem pole.

But in reality, just as the scythe was about to fall, Dickens' figure suddenly turned into black mist and then appeared directly in front of Anno in the next instant.

He used a method similar to space travel, rendering Macaros's defenses ineffective.

"cut!"

Swish~!

The scythe drew an arc in mid-air, slicing through Anno's Demon Slayer Suit as if it were made of paper, cleaving Anno's body diagonally from his right shoulder to his left waist.

"An ant is just an ant!"

Just as Dickens finished speaking, he discovered that Anno's body, which had been cut in half, had turned into broken straw.

A few straws were even swaying and falling in front of him.

The instant the scarecrow appeared, Dickens suddenly felt a powerful pressure exerted on him, causing his speed to drop significantly.

Not far away, an eighth-tier variant earth-type dragon scorpion, which was originally yellowish-brown, directly activated its second stage, emitting yellow ripples and unleashing a [gravity field] as it charged towards Dickens.

At the same time, Macaros, who had reacted, also used [Totem Gravity Amplification].

The reason why ninth-tier peak Divine Walkers are so difficult to deal with is mainly because they are too fast.

Moreover, its attack power is high; in a single encounter, a peak eighth-tier summon is likely to be either killed or seriously injured.

Anno's plan was to use gravity to slow down Dickens' speed.

After Dickens entered the double gravity field, his speed did indeed decrease significantly.

The summoned creatures immediately surrounded the outer edge of the gravity field and began to focus their fire on Dickens inside.

Dickens looked up at the various attacks falling from all around him, then turned to look at Anno.

Whoosh!

The Earth-type variant of the Dragon Scorpion fired its Tail Spike Cannon, hitting Deacon first.

But in the instant the explosion lit up the sky, Anno suddenly sensed a series of deaths of his summoned creatures.

Without a second thought, Anno immediately began to cast [Shadow Shift]!

boom!

A black beam of light engulfed Anno's figure...
