I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

"Go to hell!"

Buck roared and exerted force with both hands.

Stab it!

The Blood Blade burst forth with a dazzling light, tearing through the mutated dragon scorpion's carapace and spraying out several streams of blood.

"Roar~!"

The mutant dragon scorpion was severely injured and let out a mournful howl.

boom!

The thick scorpion tail lashed out at Buck, sending him flying a short distance.

But the next moment, the Nether Hunter's [Superpower Strike] hit the mutant dragon scorpion.

The explosion's flames engulfed the mutant dragon scorpion.

The severed tail flew through the air in an arc before falling to the ground.

"Tch, did you block it with your tail?"

When the Ghost Hunter saw the severed tail, he knew that his attack had missed the dragon scorpion's vitals.

As the smoke cleared, the somewhat disheveled figure of the mutant dragon scorpion was revealed.

His armor was broken in many places, and blood was gushing from the wounds pierced by the blood blade.

One of its secondary legs was severed, and its tail was broken off.

His body was still burning with necromantic flames, and more and more of his rotting flesh was growing!

"In this state, even if it enters the second stage, it won't pose much of a threat. Let's kill it!"

The moment the dragon scorpion emerged from the smoke, Anno gave orders to Buck and the others.

Pope and Buck immediately charged toward the dragon scorpion from the left and right.

The Shadow Hunter and the Lich also used ranged attacks and magic to deal with the dragon scorpion.

The mutant dragon scorpion tilted its body to the side as it looked at the summoned creature charging towards it. Suddenly, it stretched its head out of its carapace and let out a strange hiss!

Waves of sound emanated from the mutant dragon scorpion and spread outwards.

As Buck charged forward, he felt as if someone had hit his head hard from behind with a sledgehammer. He lost his balance and rolled several times on the ground.

Pope's situation was similar to Buck's.

The Nether Hunters and Liches, who were further away, were also affected, their attacks deviating and missing the dragon scorpion.

Taking advantage of the fact that all four summoned creatures were affected, the mutant dragon scorpion suddenly emitted an earthy yellow light.

The surrounding soil churned up like ocean waves.

A large amount of yellow soil surged onto the mutant dragon scorpion's body, enveloping it in a huge earthen ball about ten meters in diameter.

"Is this the ability of the Earth-type variant?"

Anno stared at the mutant dragon scorpion, thinking of the [Earth Protection] skill in the dragon scorpion's skill bar.

Anno had always been wary of the mutant dragon scorpion's abilities.

But I'll say it again.

He could only see the name of the skill and guess its effect.

As for the true effect of the skill, Anno will only know its specific function when the opponent is turned into a summon.

Currently, the skills used by the mutant dragon scorpion are very similar to the skill [Earth's Protection].

"That is..."

As Buck scrambled to his feet, clutching his head, he looked up and saw two enormous elemental spirits rushing toward the earthen ball.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

After Anno's summoned creatures were affected, the ice and wind elementals he summoned immediately began to launch a dense barrage of attacks on the earth sphere.

Numerous icicles and wind blades continuously shred the volume of the clay ball.

Cracks appeared on the surface of the soil ball and spread outwards.

"【Overclocking Strike】!"

The Ghost Hunter unleashed another ten consecutive overclocked strikes.

One after another, concentrated bombs struck the earthen ball, causing a series of explosions.

boom!

The clay ball finally gave way and burst open.

With a wave of its hand, the wind sprite created a small whirlwind that intercepted all the clods of earth flying toward Anno.

But when they saw the dragon scorpion emerge from the earthen ball, Buck and the other summoned creatures all widened their eyes in disbelief.

"How is this possible?"

The lich gouged out his eyeballs, wiped them, and put them back in, then looked in the direction of the dragon scorpion again.

However, the result did not change.

At this point, the mutant dragon scorpion had already entered its second-stage form.

However, its shell did not shed.

Not only did it not fade, but the previously broken areas have now been completely repaired.

To the lich's even greater surprise, the mutant dragon scorpion's legs that had been cut off by Kastin, its tail that had been shot off by the Spectral Hunter, and the wounds on its body that had been cut open by Buck had all healed!

However, the Earth-type variant of the Dragon Scorpion does not have the dragon wings of the regular Dragon Scorpion in its second stage.

"Does this skill also have such strong recovery capabilities?"

Anno looked at the dragon scorpion, which resembled a giant armored tank, and was surprised that the mutant dragon scorpion was so difficult to deal with.

"However, the more powerful it is, the more valuable it is to collect!"

The mutant dragon scorpion was unexpectedly difficult to deal with, but it didn't bother Anno; instead, it excited him even more!

"Roar~!"

The ice elemental spirit launched the first attack on the recovered mutant dragon scorpion.

A magic circle appeared in front of the ice elemental spirit.

Then a ten-meter-long, three-meter-thick, diamond-shaped ice cone with two extremely sharp ends shot out from the magic circle toward the dragon scorpion on the other side.

The earth-type variant dragon scorpion looked up at the approaching creature, and its pincers collided in mid-air.

Buzz!

Yellowish-brown ripples spread out in spherical shapes, instantly covering an area of ​​500 meters around them.

boom!

Buck, who was within this area, instantly felt immense pressure and couldn't help but stagger.

Pope's tortoise-like feet sank directly into the ground.

The rhomboid ice cone that flew into this area was directly affected by the powerful gravity below, and fell a hundred meters in front of the mutant dragon scorpion. The cold air instantly froze the land within a radius of tens of meters around it.

"Another earth-based spell, is it a [gravity field] that alters gravity?"

At this moment, Anuo felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him, as if it was going to flatten him.

Faced with the sudden change in gravity, Anno has not yet adapted, and his movements are incredibly slow compared to before!

Even a magic shield can't stop a gravity field!

"Roar~!"

The mutant dragon scorpion still remembers the injuries it just suffered.

Taking advantage of the fact that all its opponents were affected by the [gravity field], it immediately took swift steps and rushed towards Anno behind Buck and the others.

As it charged forward, the mutant dragon scorpion's pincers continued to close, making a "click-clack" sound.

"Hmm, they're coming for me?"

Anno's eyes narrowed instantly when he saw the mutant dragon scorpion rush past Buck and Pope.

"Do you really think you're so great now?"

As soon as Anno finished speaking, the mutant dragon scorpion had already rushed to within a hundred meters of Anno.

The tail hook on the dragon scorpion's tail has grown back, and the tip of the hook still gleams with a cold light.

If nothing unexpected happens, the tail hook will smash Anno into a pulp in a few seconds!

But at that moment, a large number of bone blades suddenly pierced out of the ground in front of the dragon scorpion.

This is magic cast by the lich.

Upon seeing this, the dragon scorpion instantly retracted its head into its carapace.

Boom!

The entire bone knife was smashed to pieces.

Just as the dragon scorpion was about to rush towards Anno, a giant tortoise suddenly blocked its path.

"[Water Dragon Roar]!"

Pop, who had been transformed by Anno using [Shadow Shift], unleashed his powerful skill directly at the Dragon Scorpion.

"Roar~!"

The roaring water dragon opened its huge mouth and bit down on the dragon scorpion's head that had just stretched out.

"Roar~!"

The dragon scorpion was not to be outdone, and a beam of light shot out from its mouth, gradually repelling the water dragon that was almost within reach!

At that moment, Castin appeared from the void near the dragon scorpion's neck.

The mutant dragon scorpion sensed Kasting's presence the moment he appeared.

Its pupils contracted, as if it wanted to pull its head back.

"[Xuya·Shun]!"

Whoosh!

Castin transformed into a streak of blue light, sweeping past the mutant dragon scorpion.

Then, Castin was affected by the gravitational field and fell downwards.

Pfft!

A deep, bone-revealing wound suddenly appeared on the mutant dragon scorpion's neck.

The dragon scorpion's breath also stopped abruptly.

"Roar~!"

Without resistance, the water dragon instantly coiled around the dragon scorpion.

"【Frozen Coffin】"

The ice elemental spirit seized the opportunity to use its ultimate skill.

With the help of the water dragon, the dragon scorpion was frozen almost instantly.

Once sealed off, the effect of the [Gravity Field] disappears.

The next moment, the ranged attacks of the Nether Hunter, Lich, and Wind Elemental sprites relentlessly pounded the frozen dragon scorpion.

Finally, Buck rushed forward and used his Blood Blade to sever the dragon scorpion's head from the ice.
