I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

"With the original strength of the Dragon Scorpion God, plus these two Dragon Scorpion Gods, we won't gain much advantage even if they gang up on us."

Furthermore, we must guard against possible sneak attacks from those evil gods.

Looking back now, having only Bunian as backup wasn't quite enough.

Fortunately, Bunian had already informed his teacher.

As long as we stall until Xize with his Soul-Severing Spear arrives, this battle will still be in our favor.

After listening to Marip's analysis, Joseph ran his hand along the axe blade and said in a deep voice, "Then let's use your move!"

"good!"

Marip nodded and began to wave his staff to construct a magic circle.

"This blue dwarf wants to use tenth-tier magic!"

Seeing the magic circles appearing one after another in front of Marip, Romulo (Diamond Shell Dragon Scorpion God) immediately roared at the newly promoted Crystal Shell Dragon Scorpion God, "Stop him!"

Romuloth's [Tail Spike Cannon] was already used in the previous battle.

It will take another minute or two for the tail stinger to regenerate.

However, the attack range of [Breath] is too far to reach Marip.

That's why Romuloth sent the newly promoted Dragon Scorpion God to make a move.

"Lord Romulo, behold, I, Vanseel, will save you!"

After saying that, the Crystal Shell Scorpion God Vansel launched the Crystal Tail Spike Cannon.

Whoosh!

A beam of blue light flew from the side towards the [Tail Spike Cannon] and intercepted it.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't underestimate me!"

Joseph muttered to himself as he unleashed his attack.

Boom!

The exploding tail spikes instantly shot out a dense barrage of crystalline spikes.

call out!

A shard of crystal shot toward the carapace of the ninth-tier dragon scorpion killed by Vansel not far away, instantly penetrating its body!

More crystal spikes shot towards the two hunters.

Upon seeing this, Joseph immediately flew to Marip's side, held the axe in his hands in front of his chest, lowered his head, and squatted down.

"Heh~!"

As a barrage of sharp crystal spikes hurtled toward him, Joseph suddenly looked up and roared.

A surge of magic power erupted from his body, spreading outwards and instantly colliding with the flying crystal spikes.

Like leaves swept by a gale, the crystal spikes all veered in the opposite direction, flying a distance before falling helplessly to the ground.

Joseph then picked up his axe and began fighting the two mountain-sized dragon scorpions that charged at him.

"You've worked hard, old buddy!"

After Joseph bought enough time, Marip's magic was complete.

Dozens of dark blue magic circles spun rapidly, and a massive amount of magic power converged wildly.

"Tenth-tier Ice Magic Barrier [Ice Gate]!"

Click!

A large number of ice crystals suddenly appeared from a magic circle behind Marip.

Ice crystals grow at an extremely rapid rate.

In less than five seconds, a rectangular ice block measuring 20 meters long, 10 meters wide, and 50 meters high was formed.

If you look closely, you'll see that this rectangular ice block has ice crystal patterns on it, and its shape resembles an ice goddess!

Whoosh!

A ray of sunlight shone on the ice gate, and then the light reflected directly forward.

Then, several hundred meters away on the opposite side, an identical ice gate appeared.

Then, the two ice gates began to split open and rotate in all directions.

Before the two dragon scorpion gods could react, they were already enveloped by a barrier formed by eight ice gates.

There was even a dome formed by ice blocks in the sky.

From the formation of the first ice gate to the completion of the capping.

There are at most ten seconds in between.

Now, both dragon scorpion gods, as well as Marip and Joseph, are all encased in the barrier of the [Ice Gate].

"What kind of magic is this?"

Romulo watched warily as the ice gate, connected by ice crystals, rammed its head against the ice wall beside it.

boom!

The ice wall emitted a booming sound.

"How is this possible?"

Romuloth stared at the magical runes flashing on the ice wall, and defiantly began to smash it with his two pincers and his newly grown tail hook, which resembled a giant battering ram.

But the ice wall remained completely still.

If it weren't for the fact that it takes time for the tail spikes to regrow, Romulo would have been planning to try bombarding the ice wall with the [Tail Spike Cannon].

Moreover, as time went by, Romulo clearly felt that the surrounding air temperature was frighteningly low.

This kind of cold is not ordinary cold.

It was a coldness that seemed to freeze even the soul!

In just a few seconds, a thick layer of ice 'grew' on Romulo's body.

It had just broken the ice at the joint when it grew back.

"Hehehe, this is a barrier that Marip specially researched and developed!"

Joseph's lips curled up as he thought to himself: After being trapped in a barrier by those evil gods with their artifacts and then being allowed to escape, Marip went back and began to study barrier magic.

【The Frozen Gate】is one of Marip’s masterpieces.

If I can't break through this barrier, then you two recently promoted lower-level god-like beings will find it even more impossible to break through.

"hateful!"

Seeing that Romulo's attack was ineffective, Vansel realized that he was also unable to break through the ice wall.

Under the chill of the surrounding air, it felt its mind becoming sluggish.

Vansell turned to face the two dwarves, feeling somewhat uncertain.

Are the God Hunters using this barrier-like magic to kill us from inside?

If Lord Romulo can't break the barrier, can the Dragon Scorpion God outside break it?

If I encounter danger here, will Lord Dragon Scorpion God be able to save us at the crucial moment?

Vansel was, after all, a dragon scorpion god who had just been promoted to godhood.

It was still somewhat uncertain about facing two God Hunters.

Compared to it, Romulo was much calmer.

After realizing they couldn't break the barrier, Romulo immediately called on Vansel to fight the dwarven god hunter head-on.

"I need to maintain the [Ice Gate] with my magic; the next battle will be about stalling for time."

"Okay, I'll be the main player from now on, you just need to support me."

......

"We're about a kilometer away from the ice wall, and we can still feel the chill. What must it be like inside?"

"With our strength, we'd probably be frozen solid before we even reached the ice wall, let alone get inside."

Outside the barrier [Ice Gate], a group of creatures whose shapes were obscured pointed at the hemispherical barrier that covered the ruins and couldn't help but sigh.

"Is this the power of a Plane Hunter? Wow, truly terrifying!"

"Planetary God Hunters are the guardians of their planes. And there are many God Hunters in Un'Golmud, with rumors even suggesting that some of them can hunt down mid-level gods! This is why god-level beings from the divine realm rarely descend upon Un'Golmud."

"It's hard to imagine, considering that the strength level of the beings in this plane is generally very low. In the several planes I've visited, whether it's the Insect Realm, the Abyss, the Demon Realm, or the Netherworld, there are countless powerful beings. Compared to those planes, the strength of the beings in Angomulos is simply insignificant."

"But it's undeniable that Un'Golmud still has many monster-level God Hunters who intimidate the powerful beings of those planes you mentioned. Now, another high-level summoner has appeared here!"

"The dragon scorpions outside the city have been mostly cleared out. That high-level summoner will soon be entering the city with the dwarven army!"

"Based on our observations, he is indeed only level 41. Although he has several level 8 summons, they struggle to defeat even a single level 8 mutant dragon scorpion."

Although he may have now added two variant Tier 8 dragon scorpion summons, but...

The creature that had spoken paused, turned to look at its silent companion who had been observing the [Ice Gate], and chuckled, "But we have Lord Ulma, who has just advanced to the ninth rank!"

"Perhaps we can take care of that high-level summoner without Lord Urma even needing to lift a finger!"

"Hahaha......"

Just as the group of creatures were laughing, Ulma withdrew her gaze and said to everyone, "Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival; arrogance is!"

More than a thousand years ago, our ancestors were nearly wiped out by summoners because of their arrogance!

"Well......"

The laughter of the crowd stopped abruptly, and no one dared to speak.

"Get ready, we'll launch a surprise attack on Summoner Anno in the chaos."

If we can kill Anno with the simplest assassination, then we should never give Anno a chance to dodge.

End the battle as quickly as possible, and don't let the God Hunters discover our presence.
