Several of Anno's level 6 summons approached the Slime King, their weapons kept cutting wounds on the latter's body, and a large amount of Slime slime splashed out from the wounds.

"Roar!"

The Slime King's body jumped up and down, trying to crush the enemies around him.

But the group of summons ran fast and scattered and dodged away as soon as the Slime King jumped.

The level 5 summons were a little too slow to dodge the Slime King's attack. So Anno, who had been watching the battlefield, called them back in time.

When the few seconds between summons had expired, they were summoned again.

Not far away, the level 7 summoned Flame Slimes and Poison Slimes popped up near the Slime King and immediately transformed into turrets and attacked the Slime King who hadn't reacted.

A cloud of fire and venom sprayed onto the Slime King's body, burning several holes into his body.

The Slime King's health point dropped by a fraction, but with the healing of [Advanced Healing], the wounds recovered quickly and his health point slowly increased.

After being attacked, the Slime King immediately attacked the two former guards, spraying several [Acid Gun] at the two special slimes.

Anno's other summons took advantage of the Slime King's shift in target to hastily deal out a wave of damage.

The long-range professional adventurers around them, who were still capable of fighting, all launched their attacks on the Slime King.

"Faster! Almost there!"

Anno stood on the roof of one of the houses, his mouth kept murmuring in a low voice.

When he saw the Slime King using [Acid Rain] for a wide range attack, Anno's body shook, and shouted to Shore who had been waiting beside him, "The Slime King's magic power is depleted, it can't start devouring and there's no way to recover, start melee combat!"

"I've been waiting a long time!"

A small smile appeared on Shore's face as he charged at the Slime King with his short sword.

"OW!"

The tongue-spitting figure of the summoned wind wolf arrived in front of Anno.

After such a long battle, the summoned wind wolf's stamina was greatly depleted and was nearing its limit.

Wounds all over its body, its fur cemented together with blood, it was completely devoid of its initial scenery.

However, time was running out and the routed guards had reached the town center.

The inhabitants of the small town of Gruul had already begun to retreat towards the northern gate.

It wouldn't take long for them to retreat this way.

"Charge!"

At this moment, Anno had already used [Magic Eater] to recover some of his injuries and magic point, and he mounted the wind wolf and charged towards the Slime King as well.

Before rushing over with the summoned Flame Slimes, Anno first made them spit a few fireballs at himself and then used [Magic Eater] to devour the fireballs.

When [Magic Eater] is activated, it can devour outside magic power and can slowly transform it into its magic power, as well as into health points to heal injuries!

The limit of devouring magic power is 600 points!

The conversion rate is 100 points per minute!

Anno now has 200 points of magic point back and his injuries have stabilized, so he can fight again.

The magic-depleted Slime King could not activate his [Swallow] skill and its threat was minimized.

Anno and Shore were therefore able to attack the Slime King without fear!

Poof! Poof!

Anno led several summons and joined Shore in attacking the Slime King.

After a fierce attack, Anno and Shore retreated some distance to rest, allowing the Summoned Flame Slimes and Poison Slimes to attack from a distance.

The two then moved forward again, their weapons leaving dense wounds on the Slime King's body.

Amidst the dumbfounded expressions of the surrounding adventurers, the Slime King roared in rage as it was beaten, but no one had any means to counteract it.

"Brother Shore, it's dying!"

Seeing that the Slime King only had a hundred or so blood left, Anno yelled to Shore who was flanking him.

"I can see that!"

The shore looked ahead at the Slime King, which had almost shrunken in size, and said excitedly, "Then let's finish it off and end this battle!"

"High-pressure acid burst!"

Several balls of acid the size of a man's head shot from Anno's palm towards the Slime King.

Shore, dogfolk warriors, and goblin warriors, rushed forward and launched their final assault on the Slime King.

"Go to hell!"

Anno sprinted near the Slime King on his wind wolf, raised the short sword in his hand, and leaped into the air, plunging it into the Slime King's head.

The sword was completely submerged, and with Anno's gravity, it sliced from the top of the Slime King, all the way down to the bottom.

"Roar!"

The Slime King let out a roar as its health point level plummeted.

At the last moment of its life, it unleashed its skill [King's Power]!

Anno, who had just gotten off the Slime King, suddenly felt the concentration of magic elements around her rise.

Normally [Magic Eater] absorbed very little magic power from nature, just a few points a minute.

But now, [Magic Eater] had absorbed nearly a hundred points of magic power in just a few seconds.

"This is!"

Seeing the Slime King's body gradually glowing with a white light in front of him, Anno's eyes widened in vain and he hurriedly turned around on his wind wolf and pulled Shore, who was also dazed, to evacuate towards the distance.

The white light on the Slime King's body grew brighter and brighter.

Two seconds later, several white pillars of light shot out from the Slime King's corpse.

BOOM!!!

An explosion rang out and the surrounding area was instantly illuminated as if it was daylight!

The houses within a twenty-meter radius disintegrated in a burst of ground shaking, turning into dust and flying.

The townspeople who were fleeing towards the north gate, Rodney and the others who were desperately trying to stop the demon forces in the rear, and the hawkgirl who were chasing Sharp in the air, all looked in the direction of the huge explosion.

"The north gate? What's happening over there?"

Mavis, covered in blood, looked in shock at the huge explosion not far away.

This scene was several times stronger than even the goblin priest's great fireball.

It wasn't the kind of commotion that the lowly adventurers could create!

But if it was an explosion created by a demon, wouldn't it mean that there was another existence at the north gate that was even more powerful than the goblin priest?

"Looks like Anno and the others are all gone!"

A flicker of sadness passed through Rodney's eyes.

Not only was he sad for Anno and the two hundred adventurers who had died in the battle at the north gate, but he was also sad that their backway had been cut off.

But the next moment, his eyes suddenly glowed and he roared as he rushed toward the demon troops.

"As a guardsman, as a knight! I, Rodney, will fight to the last to protect the people!"

......

"Ahem... Ahem!"

Near the collapsed house on the side, a group of adventurers looked panicked as they moved away a piece of debris and wood.

"Anno, Shore!" Sunow kept calling Anno's and Shore's names towards the inside of the ruins and joined the adventurers in digging.

She had just stood on high ground and saw the two being lifted off the ground and smashed into the building in the aftermath of the blast, even though they were far from the center of the explosion.

"Found it, the chairman and Captain Shore are here!"

One adventurer shouted in surprise to the crowd around them.

"Dig!"

It took a while for the group of people to clear the debris and wood off the top, revealing the two people covered in blood and a coma.

"Hiss~!"

Anno was brought out of his coma after being carefully carried out by a group of adventurers.

He touched the blood on his head and took a moment to slow down before his vision gradually returned.

"Anno, how are you?"

After hearing Sunow's anxious inquiry, Anno waved his hand breathlessly and said, "Fine for now!"

Thanks to [Magic Eater] absorbing nearly 200 more points of magic power before the explosion.

While Anno was in a coma, [Magic Eater] had been converting the magic power absorbed into the life force to heal Anno's injuries.

Compared to Anno, Shore's situation was a little worse.

He was still in a coma and the clothing on his back had shredded, revealing his burned back.

At the last moment, he resists behind Anno to carry the damage of the explosion.

Anno was relieved to see that Shore's chest was still heaving.

He stood up with the help of those around him and was about to tell the crowd to hurry and search for the adventurers who had been injured in the previous battle to evacuate when a figure suddenly appeared on the pile of rubble in front of him.

"It's you?" Sharp, who hawkgirl had chased over, saw the scarred Anno and his face turned from shock to disbelief to a grimace.

"Since I ran into you, I'll take care of you by the way!"
