I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Anno, who was always watching Carey, naturally noticed the changes in the former's expression.

"Was he... scared just now?"

Anno frowned, recalling the details of what had just happened.

After much thought, only the [Death Perception Ray] comes to mind.

"But the [Death Perception Ray] only killed one of Kerry's clones!"

To verify his hypothesis, Anno used the Death Perception Ray once again.

But this time, Kerry became fearless and didn't care at all about the clones that were killed by the [Death Perception Ray].

"Isn't it the [Death Perception Ray]?"

Just as Anno was thinking this, he suddenly noticed a figure appear in front of him.

A clone of Kerry arrived in front of Anno through a short-distance spatial teleportation.

Clang!

Anno held the Dragon Scorpion Tail Cannon Sword horizontally in front of him with his left hand, blocking Kerry's longsword.

But Carey's strength was so great that Anno was unable to completely block it with the strength of his left hand, and the sword was pressed against Anno's chest.

*Swoosh!*

Seeing Anno raise his leg high and use his combat boots to push off his weapon, instantly balancing his strength, Kerry frowned.

As he raised his leg, Anno's right hand reached behind him, drew a short gun, and thrust the gleaming tip at Kerry's side.

Seeing this, Kerry instantly used spatial teleportation to disappear from his original spot, and then appeared behind Anno, slashing towards Anno's back.

Ding!

The scythe, which was attached to the chain and brought out by the short gun, blocked the blow.

Before the scythe was bounced back to his back by the force, Anno leaped backward, narrowly missing the spinning scythe.

Whoosh!

Anno hurled the pistol in his hand at Carey.

Seeing the cold glint of the short spear flying towards him, the latter quickly swung his sword to slash.

But the instant he swung the knife, Kerry regretted it.

Clang!

The short guns flying towards Kerry and those flying in the opposite direction collided, instantly straightening the chain in the middle.

Anno didn't intend to hit Kerry with the gun he threw; he just wanted to expose an opening.

Kerry fell for it.

The opening created by this attack left him no time to defend against the Dragon Scorpion Tail Spike Cannon in its cannon form.

Boom!

At such close range, the shells arrived in the blink of an eye.

Pfft!

The sound of weapons cutting through flesh rang out.

Kerry stared in disbelief at the scythe protruding from his chest, then looked up at Anno, who had his back to him, his left hand holding a magic cannon that was transforming back into a sword, and his right hand gripping a chain.

The front of the chain was connected to the short gun that had fallen to the ground, while the rear of the chain curved in the air and connected to the scythe that had pierced Kerry's chest from behind.

Splash...

Anno pulled hard, and the scythe instantly tore Kerry's body apart, then returned to Anno's feet along the force of the chains.

With a thud, Kerry collapsed, his eyes wide open, lifeless.

Anno glanced at the corpse on the ground and said expressionlessly, "You always appear from behind; I know what you're up to without even looking!"

Just now, when Anno fired the magic cannon, the latter used spatial teleportation to appear behind Anno.

But Anno had anticipated this.

As the magic cannon fired, he gripped the chain and yanked it back, pulling the scythe at the end and stabbing it directly at Kerry, who appeared behind him.

After killing one of the clones, Anno transferred magic power to the chains, which gradually shortened. Then, the short spear and scythe flew together to the fitting part of the armor on his back.

Since acquiring the Armor of Evil, Anno has been learning many combat skills using short spears, chains, and scythes.

When using Pandora to summon creatures, Anno wasn't completely passive.

He also honed his combat skills.

Especially now, having reached the peak of the mortal realm, the only way to improve one's strength is to enhance combat skills and the combination and application of skills.

The recent battle proved that Kerry, a fellow ninth-tier peak Time-Space Apostle, is no match for Anno in close combat.

Therefore, when Kerry's clone rushed in front of Anno, it immediately unleashed the [Space Blade]!

The interval between uses of "Time Travel" is approximately two seconds.

The Space Blade is very powerful, capable of cutting anything in two, but it gradually dissipates as the flight distance increases.

According to He Zeng's intelligence, the Time Apostle can use three series of skills: the hour hand, the minute hand, and the second hand.

Currently, Kerry has only used one type of clone ability from the minute hand system.

Moreover, after much thought, it seems that Carey is afraid of the Death Perception Ray.

His subsequent fearlessness likely stemmed from the realization that the Death Perception Ray could not harm him.

In other words, if the power of the [Death Perception Ray] continues to increase, it might be able to pose a life-threatening threat to the Time-Space Apostles!

While fighting, Anno also gathered information about the Time Apostles.

"Furthermore, Time Apostles can be sealed; I wonder if the [Coffin of Life and Death] can seal Time Apostles!"

Anno didn't bring the Coffin of Life and Death Reincarnation, so he can't put it into practice now.

Although they can no longer pose a life-threatening threat to the Time-Space Apostles, at their current level of strength, battles involve gathering intelligence on each other, analyzing each other's weaknesses, and then targeting those weaknesses for attack.

Since Kelly came to find Anno alone, it's highly likely that he wanted to gather more detailed combat intelligence about Anno.

I would only consider crippling and kidnapping Anno if it were possible.

Anno ultimately concluded that the Death Perception Ray posed a life-threatening threat to the Time Apostles because of the characteristics of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.

The cause of death must occur first, and then the cause of death will follow.

"Perhaps the Law of Death Perception, represented by the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, will be the nemesis of the Time Apostles."

But if you want to comprehend the laws of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception…

Anno felt that it might be difficult to get him to come.

However, this conjecture can be told to He Zeng after the war.

He Zeng should have had many dealings with the Time Apostles; perhaps he can draw some conclusions.

Both the "Reincarnation Coffin" and the "Law of Direct Death" are worth trying.

"Right now, let's deal with this time-space apostle!"

Of the 3,600 Kairi from before, hundreds have now perished.

However, Anno also lost a lot of summons. Many of the summons that were fighting on the front lines have now been recalled by Anno.

As Anno surveyed his surroundings, preparing to continue the battle, he saw a black dragon approaching.

The black dragon was also wearing armor, clearly indicating that it was the partner of a dragon knight—ordinary dragons do not have armor.

Anno quickly realized that the dragon knight above was Lu Zhishang.

"Lu Zhishang, what's he doing here?"

Anno's expression changed.

Although Lu Zhishang is also a protector, his current strength is only at the peak of the eighth rank.

They were no match for the time traveler.

Anno's task for the Twelve Kings is to hone their skills in war and improve their strength as quickly as possible.

Besides [Tiger King] Xue Feibai and [Phoenix King] Geng Qingxue temporarily taking over the command of the [Investigators], the original Investigator leader, Steinbeck, is currently only at the seventh level, which makes him somewhat inadequate on the battlefield.

[Rat King] Meng Xin (Thief), [Ox King] Wang Zixuan (Hunter), [Rabbit King] Liu Rongrong (Priest), [Dragon King] Lu Zhishang (Warrior), [Horse King] Lü Yan (Knight), [Sheep King] Ning Wen (Priest), [Monkey King] Sun (Beast Warrior), and [Pig King] Lajir & Little Grey are all leading the soldiers of Xuelong City in battle on the front lines. (The twelve kings make a brief appearance; they will appear later. This is not filler.)

【Dog King】Sassiel has always been by Anno's side.

The title of "Snake King" was previously held by Adelaide for a period of time, but she later felt that the title was beneath her reputation as "Crimson Calamity" and stepped down, so the position is currently vacant.

Monissa's follower, the snake woman Athena, once asked Liz to apply for this title, but Liz refused because she did not have the blessing.

"Lu Zhishang, you should be fighting on the front lines right now!"

Anuo rushed to Lu Zhishang and shouted, "It's too dangerous here!"

Lu Zhishang immediately ordered the giant dragon beneath him to stop approaching, and shouted, "Feibai has gone mad!"

He just returned and heard that something had happened in the Elf Forest, and that Xiaoxue was trapped there, so he rushed into the enemy camp alone!
