I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Early the next morning.

Anno then went to find Elisana.

"What's with this armor?"

Anno took out the armor set from the ring.

"The Armor of Retribution?"

When the latter saw the armor, a look of reminiscence appeared in his eyes, and he said with delight, "This is the equipment you used back then. It was commissioned to be forged by the dwarves and is a divine artifact with the potential for growth."

"A divine artifact!"

Anno was startled.

The previous Demon Slayer set was destroyed in the Warren's War.

Anno is currently lacking equipment.

He certainly knew why Gloria had put this set of equipment in her ring.

This is for him.

However, Anno still felt that since he hadn't regained his memories, he couldn't rule out the possibility that he wasn't the "Anno" that Gloria knew, and he always felt a little awkward accepting things from others.

But now that she heard it was a magical artifact, Anuo was tempted.

The name "Armor of Evil Retribution" just feels a bit sinister.

However, judging from its shape, the name does suit this armor quite well.

Because the armor's shape does indeed resemble a ferocious demon.

Not only was the breastplate designed to resemble a demon, but the belt, elbow pads, knee pads, and boots were also decorated with ferocious demons.

On the back, there is also a chain of unknown material.

At one end of the chain is a one-meter-long scythe, a close-range weapon.

However, if you include the chains, the attack range becomes very wide.

The war scythe was now inserted into the clasp on the back of the armor.

The other end of the chain was connected to a one-meter-long pistol, its thirty-centimeter-long tip gleaming coldly.

The short spear was also inserted into the buckle on the back of the armor, placed crosswise with the war scythe.

However, at this moment, the short gun and the scythe were both hidden inside the folded iron wings.

These two weapons cannot be retrieved without opening the iron wings.

"The Armor of Retribution was severely damaged when you died in battle."

I thought it was totaled.

But now it seems that Gloria has taken the time over the years to have it repaired.

Elisana ran her hands over the armor, then said to Anno, "If you still have doubts about whether you have been resurrected, the Armor of Retribution can prove it."

Anno frowned and asked, "How can you prove it?"

Elisana explained excitedly, "When the Armor of Retribution was forged, Anno's blood and soul imprint were added, which added a limitation—it is Anno's exclusive growth-type armor, and its performance will improve as Anno's strength increases."

In other people's hands, it's just an ordinary artifact and won't improve.

In other words, if the Armor of Retribution is enhanced in your hands, it will continue to evolve as your strength increases.

That's enough to prove that you and Anno from over a thousand years ago are the same person!

So-called growth-type equipment is equipment that can be adapted to the user's strength in order to maximize the user's combat power.

Non-growth-type equipment has fixed performance.

For example, the magical weapon Anno is currently using, the Dragon Scorpion Tail Cannon Sword, is a non-growth type.

It has three forms: heavy sword form, chain sword form, and cannon form.

The transformation between these three forms requires Anno to supply magic power.

If a mid-to-low-level professional obtains Anno's Dragon Scorpion Tail Cannon Sword, they will be unable to provide sufficient magic power, rendering the form-changing function useless.

In their hands, the Dragon Scorpion Tail Cannon Sword was nothing more than a very sharp and very sturdy heavy sword.

However, growth-type equipment is different.

Lower-level professionals will gain corresponding abilities when they wear it.

When mid-level professionals wear it, these abilities will be enhanced accordingly.

It works even at higher levels!

And the legendary-level growth equipment can eventually grow into a legendary-level item!

The Evil Summoning Armor is such a set of armor.

"So that's how it is!"

Anno felt a little regretful.

If the owner of the Armor of Wrath uses a scythe and a short spear, then Anno feels that it has little to do with him.

Because Anno's preferred weapon is a sword, and his armor is a shield.

Of course, this doesn't mean he won't use other weapons.

Conversely, with the [Spirit Offering] present, Anno can learn weapon skills from the collected souls, and he can master most weapons.

However, swords are the weapon Anno uses most often, and he is more used to them.

If Anno had to choose, his first choice when forging would definitely be a sword.

"Don't just watch, give it a try!"

Elisana pointed to the area between the eyebrows of the helmet and urged, "Anno's soul imprint is on this. You can drip your blood on it and see if it's compatible!"

"You'd better not get your hopes up too high!"

Anno shook his head, took out a dagger, cut his finger, and dripped the blood onto the demon face carving on the forehead of his helmet.

It would be a real shame if such a powerful set of artifacts couldn't be used to its full potential.

Just as Anno was thinking this, the ghostly patterns on his helmet suddenly glowed with a bloody light.

The blood quickly spread to the entire suit of armor.

To Anno's astonishment, the Armor of Retribution crashed directly into him and merged into his body.

"What happened?"

Anno touched her body, her face filled with terror.

The terror stemmed not only from the Armor of Retribution entering her body, but also from the fact that this act of recognizing a master shattered Anno's last shred of illusion.

"Anno!"

At that moment, Elisana couldn't help but rush into Anno's arms and hug his neck.

"The Armor of Retribution has recognized you as its master; you truly are Anno!"

Elisana, who was holding Anno, was unaware that Anno's face was pale and his eyes were filled with confusion.

It was all true.

I was actually resurrected!

"It's all a coincidence. My connection with Anno from over a thousand years ago is nothing more than a coincidence"—this was actually Anno's thought all along, and what he most wanted to believe.

But now, with the facts laid out before him, Anno has no choice but to start seriously considering some things.

"Is there some other conspiracy behind the resurrection of the second generation?"

How exactly did I come into this world?

"Anno from 1400 years ago, Anno from Earth, who am I really?"

These chilling questions completely overshadowed Anno's joy at acquiring the artifact set.

As Elisana calmed down from her initial joy, she suddenly noticed that Anno was pale and asked with concern, "Anno? What's wrong?"

"Excuse me, I need to calm down first!"

Anno gave an unnatural smile, then turned and left the palace.

"Anno!"

Elisana watched Anno leave with heavy steps, her eyes filled with heartache.

And everything that happened here was naturally seen by the Tree of Life.

"Is the Armor of Retribution in Gloria's possession? The child has never mentioned it."

However... before, Anno's memories hadn't returned, so I thought his resurrection had failed.

Everything, including the aura of the soul, is accidental.

But now the Armor of Retribution has fully confirmed Anno's resurrection.

If this news gets out, those guys from back then will probably come out again!

I just don't know how many are still alive.
