Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

Chapter 80: Duke Murmur

”!!!” Noelle could hear the loud scream of an alien. She couldnʼt help but think, ʼIs he struggling against those aliens? No. Based on his strength, he should have eliminated them by now…ʼ

The worm-like alien plunged toward her, forcing Noelle to jump away.

She was a bit distracted, but fortunately, the worm wasnʼt as strong as she imagined.

ʼIs he struggling against another alien? A juvenile class? It has been a few minutes… something more than a juvenile class? Donʼt tell me, is there another mature class alien?ʼ

Noelleʼs heart skipped a beat. If there was indeed one, Nathan wouldnʼt be able to defeat it with his trick.

”I have to take down the enemy right now. He might not last longer…” Noelle gritted her teeth and stomped the ground as she summoned yet another familiar.

The alien bounced on the ground, trying to devour her. However, this figure appeared out of thin air and slashed the worm, extending his blade with his own Ena.

The blade slashed through the wormʼs flesh.

His body was fully covered in armor, but as if showing his dignity and identity, there was a golden crown on top of his helmet.

He put his shield in front while retracting his blade as though he were ready to release another strike.

With a deep voice, the familiar asked, ”For what reason do you little lass summon me despite trying not to summon me for over three months?”

”I need to kill this alien as quickly as possible.”

”You are in a hurry. Who is actually important enough for you to be in this hurry? After all, the last time you were in a hurry was when you summoned me, causing an incomplete summon. Because of you, I couldnʼt bring my partner.” The guy raised his shield and expanded it with his Ena.

The worm had recovered and tried to break apart the Ena, but to no avail. It only pushed the guy back for a bit, but nothing else.

”I know you donʼt like me, but please shut up and help me. You will know about it later.”

The familiar fell silent for a moment before saying, ”Fine by me. I shall help you kill this worm. I promise you in my name as one of the 72 demons, Duke Murmur. Follow me.”

As soon as Murmur finished his words, he retracted his shield and moved to the right side of the worm.

Noelle approached the worm from the other side.

Both of them covered their swords with Ena and extended their blades, striking at the worm at the same time.

Their blade wouldnʼt be long enough to cut the worm by themselves, but with one on the right and the other on the left, the required length to cut the alien was reduced greatly.

The worm flapped its body violently, not letting these two cut its body into two.

Murmur had been using less Ena compared to Noelle, which caused the worm to instinctively think he was weaker. As a result, the worm spun its body toward Murmur.

Murmur stomped the ground and expanded the shield once again, blocking the entire body.

Once stopped, Noelle took this opportunity to wave her sword downward, unleashing the long crescent sword strike to cut a part of the wormʼs body.

Obviously, the top part seemed to be regenerating due to the symbiote, but the crown on top of Murmurʼs head released a purple glow as he pointed his hand at the cut area. ”Death Seal.”

The purple glow moved like a shock wave, causing the alienʼs body to rot instead of regenerating.

After that, both of them continued cutting the worm. The latter struggled, but it couldnʼt dig into the ground as the mouth hadnʼt regenerated.

Hence, Noelle and Murmur cut the worm piece by piece. They kept applying the death seal to lock its regenerative trait, allowing them to fully kill the worm.

Murmur said, ”Your swordsmanship has improved tremendously compared to three months ago. However, itʼs still lacking in power and control. If you keep progressing at this rate, it wonʼt be long for you to surpass me in swordsmanship.

”Despite not summoning me, you seem to have learned my swordsmanship. I guess youʼre too embarrassed to admit that my technique is superior.

”However, donʼt forget your debt to me. You have to fix the summoning and allow me to bring my partner. If you can do that, I will allow you to utilize my power as much as you like.” Murmur grinned.

Noelleʼs expression remained cold. This was the reason she didnʼt want to rely on his power, but the condition forced her to end the battle as quickly as possible. She said, ”I know that, but I have no time for this.”

Without hesitation, she turned around and left the wormʼs corpse as if it were nothing.

Murmur glanced at her and muttered, ”She is still too rash. She has made such a mistake when summoning me. I canʼt help but wonder what mistake she will make later. And whoever is able to move her this much… slightly piques my interest.”

Before following Noelle, Murmur clapped his hand. The crown glowed once again, this time the shock wave flying in all directions.

”Pray for the fallen. Take your eternal rest, my enemy,” Murmur muttered as the corpse started to rot. It wouldnʼt take too long for them to be reduced to nothing but the core.

Still, if he didnʼt go, he would disappear due to the distance.

”I should go too.” Murmur chased after Noelle. She was standing in front of a boy with two beasts beside him.

Looking at the environment, it was clear that there was a battle in this place before. In fact, the blood dying Nathanʼs clothes was already a testament to how dangerous the enemy was.

Despite not looking strong, it was impressive that Nathan was able to defeat all of these aliens.

However, his focus was taken by the black jackal next to him, sensing a familiar power coming from him.

On the other hand, Noelle said while clenching her hands, realizing it was her mistake. ”Letʼs go back.”
