I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Chapter 674 Let the Flames of War Spread

Hawthorne glanced at the henchmen he had trained and explained, "First of all, you two need to understand one thing. God Hunters are not gods; they follow a different path."

Therefore, there is no distinction between lower and middle ranks among the God Hunters.

However, based on the strength of the god hunters, the gods distinguished them using star ratings.

One-star God Hunters are the weakest God Hunters; the gods generally refer to them as God Hunter Apprentices.

At this time, the God Hunters were basically trained by the old God Hunters. They had certain strength but no God Hunter achievements.

The title of "Two-Star God Hunter" refers to those who successfully hunt down gods.

Once you have more than five God Hunters, you can be called a three-star God Hunter.

The combat power of one-star to three-star God Hunters is basically at the level of lower gods.

Those two dwarven god hunters were at that level.

Four-star God Hunters are at the mid-level of the God tier!

"A mid-level god! Doesn't that mean this human god hunter is on par with you, sir?"

The look in Vance's eyes as he looked at Caesar instantly filled with fear.

"That's right!"

Hawthorne said solemnly, "I only recently broke through, and his strength may even be stronger than mine."

Furthermore, his attacks are bizarre, capable of ignoring defenses and affecting the soul.

Most importantly, I still haven't figured out what this impact is.

At this moment, several magical runes and seals had appeared on Hawthorne's soul body.

Hawthorne tried many methods, but none of them could eliminate it.

"Hey, hey, hey, I really can't stand such terrible acting!"

Xize covered his eyes, looking ashamed, and said, "You just said you experienced the First and Second Wars of Gods, and now you say you're weak."

Do you think that saying this will lower my guard and give you a chance?

Besides, I know you have that thing!

Seeing Hawthorne frown, Caesar continued, "Dragon Scorpion God, if you hand over that thing, I will immediately retreat with those two and the dwarf troops. Otherwise, it will be a fight to the death!"

That thing refers to Pandora's Box.

However, Xize didn't know if any god-level beings were hiding nearby watching the show, so he dared not reveal this information.

When Caesar said this, neither Joseph nor Marip did object, and they even stood beside Caesar in support.

Things have developed in a way that has exceeded everyone's expectations.

First, there's the number of Dragon Scorpion Gods.

From the initial belief that there was only one Dragon Scorpion God, to the current sight of three Dragon Scorpion Gods standing in a row.

Secondly, there's Hawthorne's strength.

If they had known beforehand that Hawthorne would break through from a lower-level god to a middle-level god after being unsealed, then Marip and Joseph would certainly have made ample preparations before notifying the Dwarf King to send troops.

We should at least contact a few more God Hunters.

Hawthorne hadn't expected a four-star Hunter to arrive.

Since breaking the seal and conquering Saguntor, Hawthorne has obtained Pandora, which was sealed along with it!

At the time, it was only thinking about using Pandora to break through to the level of a lower god.

Therefore, the crisis of national destruction predicted by the God of the Priests did not occur.

Hawthorne went underground to build a secret training ground to cultivate.

After going through a lot of trouble to advance his rank, Hawthorne looked at the Dragon Scorpion Clan and thought about training a few lower-level Dragon Scorpion Gods.

So it used Pandora to release a large number of creatures that were locked inside, thus increasing the strength of the dragon scorpion clan.

After receiving news that the dwarven kingdom was about to attack, Hawthorne busied himself with another matter.

Due to time constraints and distractions, it only managed to cultivate one Dragon Scorpion God.

The second dragon scorpion god, Vansel, was still being trained when the dwarf army attacked.

At this moment, Hawthorne discovered that the enemy had a four-star God Hunter joining the battle, and he no longer wanted to fight them.

Both he and Caesar, who made the request, are now worried about something else.

That's most likely someone hiding in the shadows.

Those lower-level gods who released Hawthorne back then certainly won't miss this great battle.

Leopold and the others knew perfectly well that Hawthorne possessed Pandora.

If they discover that Hawthorne has used Pandora to rise from a low-ranking god to a mid-ranking god, their determination to seize Pandora will become even stronger.

Moreover, because the dwarven kingdom's actions were so significant, it's highly likely that other deities would be paying attention to this war.

At the very least, Hephaestus, the god of fire and forging, will definitely take notice!

That's why Caesar didn't dare to directly mention Pandora's Box.

Hawthorne didn't want to continue fighting either.

But when Caesar presented his conditions, Hawthorne froze.

It already guessed what the thing Caesar was talking about.

But this is a treasure it will never give up under any circumstances.

To take Pandora, you must kill it.

"That's no fun!"

Hawthorne looked at Caesar with a dangerous glint in his eyes and asked, "Are you absolutely certain you can kill me?"

This statement clearly expresses a rejection.

But Caesar cannot back down when facing Pandora.

Because they were unaware of this news, Hawthorne secretly advanced to the level of a mid-level god.

If we keep letting this thing stay, who knows, it might give birth to an incredibly terrifying high god in a while!

It should be noted that the number of high-ranking gods is extremely rare.

Once you become a high-ranking god, you are basically invincible!

"I'm not leaving until you hand it over!"

Caesar's attitude was also very tough.

"Since you're being so ungrateful, don't blame me!"

Hawthorne instantly became enraged. It reverted to its massive dragon-scorpion form and roared at Caesar, "Let's have a true war of the gods! Let the flames of war spread from this place to the entire continent!"

"Roar~!"

With Hawthorne's roar, the entire city of Sagunto began to tremble.

Anno and Owen, who hadn't run far, all sensed the commotion underground.

"Anno, it seems like something's about to come out from underground... *poof*!"

Owen, who was standing to the side, was suddenly struck by a dragon scorpion that emerged from the ground and was sent flying dozens of meters away, coughing up blood!

"Roar~!"

The dragon scorpion that crawled out roared and waved its pincers around.

As soon as the first dragon scorpion crawled out, countless dragon scorpions covered the entire city in just a dozen seconds!

Each dragon scorpion was surrounded by a group of soldiers.

Conversely, everyone was separated by the dragon scorpions that emerged from the ground and plunged into a fierce battle.

"Ah~!"

"Help! Help!! Help!!!"

"Kill them!"

Within minutes, the surroundings were in complete chaos.

Some were killed, and others fled in panic.

Some people mustered up the courage to try fighting the dragon scorpion with those around them.

In order to protect as many people as possible, Anno summoned all his summoned creatures with a wave of his hand.

After the battle with Urma, he now has about 500 Tier 7 summons left.

For Urma, five hundred is not a lot.

However, for dragon scorpions that are mostly mid-level with only a few high-level ones, they are like fathers!

As Anno exerted his strength, the scattered adventurers and dwarf soldiers gathered in greater numbers.

Meanwhile, some of the employees were rescued by Anno.

If Anno observes closely, he will spot several familiar orcs among these people.

One of the monkey-men was wearing a straw hat and holding a stick-shaped weapon!

"Roar~!"

Because Anno was so conspicuous, he naturally attracted the attention of the high-level dragon scorpions.

What chilled everyone to the bone was what Anno said next.

"Run! It's a ninth-tier dragon scorpion!"
