I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Dickens, who was initially distracted by Anno's summoned creatures—the same Dickens that Macaros mistook for a clone—slowly lowered his raised hand, twisting his neck and grimacing as he muttered, "His reaction was really fast!"

Dickens's scheme was to feign exhaustion, making Anno believe that his true form was just an illusion.

The phantom he quietly released disguised itself as his real body and approached Anno.

If you can kill Anno, then kill him. If you can't, then make Anno reveal a weakness, giving the real entity a chance to be created.

When Anno used [Substitute Strawman] to dodge Dickens's phantom attack, his real body also stopped disguising itself and directly unleashed a [Shadow Howl] with a power reaching the ninth rank.

More than fifty Tier 8 summons died under [Shadow Howl].

But Anno reacted at the last moment and used [Teleport], which doesn't require precise timing, allowing his summoned creature to escape unscathed. [Substitute Scarecrow] requires precise timing and must be used the instant the attack lands. Faced with an unknown attack that might come at him, Anno chose [Teleport].

"Huff~, huff~!"

On the other side, Anno, who had narrowly escaped death, was panting heavily, his eyes fixed on Dickens's direction.

"Alright, warm-up over!"

While dodging the attacks from the summoned creatures around him, Dickens said, "Now, I'm going to get serious!"

After the initial probing, he was now basically familiar with Anno's summoned creature attack methods.

Aside from their inherent strength, these summoned creatures are basically capable of self-destruction, and their power is considerable.

Without any defensive measures, Dickens would also suffer serious injuries if he were hit by the blast.

But Deakins won't give the summoned creatures that chance.

In addition, Anno has two escape skills.

One is the scarecrow from before, and the other is the one that swapped positions with the summoned creature.

The latter seems to have easier conditions for activation, but the cost is that Anno will lose a summoned creature—to die in his place.

As for the level 46, tier 9 summons beside Anno, they seem to be Anno's last trump card.

This can be seen from the fact that Anno never allowed his ninth-tier summons to be deployed, but instead kept them by his side to protect him.

"In that case, I'll take out your trump cards one by one first, and then I'll take you down!"

Dickens swung his scythe through the air a few times, then suddenly charged forward, creating sonic booms all around him.

"It's our turn to make a move!"

Buck and his companions clearly sensed that Deakins was in greater danger than before, and immediately activated their ultimate abilities to prepare for battle.

"【True Demon Release】, Roar~!"

With Buck's roar, a towering demon, ten meters tall and radiating a bloodthirsty aura, appeared before Anno.

"Do not harm my lord!"

The demon let out a low growl and charged toward Dickens.

"[Tear Through the Sky - Powerful Mountain Breakthrough]!"

Ulma stood still and suddenly threw a punch forward.

boom!

Being

Dickens, who was charging forward, was suddenly attacked in the chest and flew backward, spitting blood from his mouth.

The eighth-tier summoned creatures nearby seized the opportunity to rush forward and begin to besiege Deakins.

After adjusting his position in mid-air, Dickens, who was flying backwards, instantly stabilized himself and his figure turned into a black shadow, shuttling between the summoned creatures.

After Dickens stopped, more than a dozen eighth-tier summoned creatures fell from the sky, turning into white light and dissipating halfway down the path.

But Morton and Pullman had already followed Buck to Dickens, and the two sides began a fierce confrontation.

"You stay here to protect your master!"

Urma patted the giant dragon scorpion beside her, and then charged into the battlefield.

Macaros has begun using [Totem] to apply three debuffs to Deakins, while also applying three buffs to Buck and other Tier 9 summons.

At this time, he was also under great pressure.

The ninth-tier dragon scorpion flew below Anno, revealing a gap in its carapace.

Under Dickens's watchful eye, Anno stepped inside the dragon scorpion's armor.

"That's where you're wrong!"

Dickens felt he was being looked down upon.

He, a god, was still fighting, while his enemies watched as if it were a show.

After seizing the opportunity to repel the summoned creatures rushing towards him, Dickens released his right hand, and the scythe automatically spun and floated in front of Dickens before stopping.

Splash!

A magical chain extended from the handle of the scythe into Dickens' hand.

"【Shadow Aura - Six Paths Kill】!"

Swish~!

With a flick of his chains, the scythe in front of him instantly split into five phantoms.

Six scythes gleaming with black light plunged directly into the void.

Pfft!

The next second, a dark scythe suddenly appeared from behind Buck, who was about to rush over.

The sharp scythe sliced ​​through the dense, bloody blades growing on Buck's back as easily as cutting tofu, then struck Buck in the back of the heart.

"Roar~!"

Buck was struck hard and let out a scream.

The other ninth-tier summons were also attacked by the scythe at the same time.
