Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

Chapter 82: Selena vs August

Nathan and Alisha reached the hall where they were holding the summoners war between Selena and August.

He had never expected that these two would be in a duel like this.

”What is going on? How does this happen? Why are those two fighting?” Nathan tilted his head in confusion.

”According to the form submitted, it was Selena who challenged August.” Alisha explained.

”…” Nathan couldnʼt help but furrow his eyebrows. When he took another look at Selena, she was actually holding a wooden staff. She didnʼt use one back in Tevlan Forest, which brought him to a different thought. Did Selena think this carefully?

Alisha noticed Nathan was watching the arena closely, which made her smile.

Jason looked at both summoners and said, ”If August wins, Selena will help August for the next event. If Selena wins, August will give her the Fire Staff. Is that correct?”

”Yes.” Selena and August nodded their heads, confirming the bet.

”In that case, you may begin.” Jason jumped back.

Both of them summoned their respective familiars. August pulled out his sword while Selena raised her staff.

They released their Ena at the same time, waiting for the others to make a move.

August took the initiative. He and the dwarf jumped forward. To their surprise, Selena was the only one coming to match them.

”!!!” August and the dwarf were confused because they thought Selena wasnʼt a strong, close combat summoner.

Nevertheless, the match would end as long as they defeated her. Hence, both of them channeled their Ena into their respective weapons.

When they were about to unleash their attack, Selena halted her step, which made the two hesitate if they had enough range to reach her.

That was when Selena spun her staff and waved it from the bottom as if she were swiping the floor.

The Ena burst at the tip of her staff, amplified by the bright red gem on the rodʼs eye. A powerful wave of Ena hit both August and the dwarf as though they were hit by a horse.

”Kh!” Because they werenʼt ready for it, both of them took the full brunt of the attack and were sent flying.

Risa pointed her palms at them and shot out the blood tornadoes.

”God of Earth, please protect your believer!” The gnome waved his hand up as stone pillars emerged from the floor, receiving the blood tornadoes.

August and the dwarf landed safely, but they were so focused on Risa and Selena that they didnʼt realize Sasha was already gone.

Her claws released a faint green glow as she attacked the gnome from behind.

The dwarf seemed to be more experienced in battle compared to August, as the dwarf was able to react to Sashaʼs attack.

He smashed Sashaʼs claws, but because they contained a lot of Ena, it burst and blew them away.

Selena came forward and waved her rod at the stone pillars, releasing that Ena again.

The Ena smashed the stone pillars into pieces, but August was ready to attack her. Sadly for him, every time Selena waved her staff, she would burst out her Ena like she was sweeping everything.

The gnome waved his hand down as the stones that were launched toward him and August fell as if there was a magnet on the ground.

August trusted his gnome, so he immediately approached Selena before she could release another burst.

Instead of helping, Risa actually summoned blood spears and launched them toward the gnome.

Noticing that the dwarf was occupied by Sasha, the gnome had no choice but to take this head-on.

Unfortunately, there was a circular sword strike that expanded and cut the blood spears in half from the side. August chose to save the gnome instead of attacking Selena.

Selena spun her rod, ready to launch another attack. However, the gnome had actually chanted another spell and summoned four stone walls to surround Selena.

Her staff actually hit the stone wall and released the Ena to the ground.

Bam!

When the attack was released, the shock wave definitely hit Selena. The stone pillars shattered, but the rocks and dust filled up the air, becoming a perfect smokescreen for August.

Without hesitation, August closed the distance between them.

Risa wanted to help Selena, but she couldnʼt see anything. ”Selena!”

August smirked because it was too late.

He swung his sword with all his strength, planning to cut her.

To his surprise, he struck a shield made of Ena first, which absorbed half of the impact. The swing only had half of its power left, and Selena simply put the wand in front of her, blocking the sword.

”!!!” August widened his eyes in shock as the dust started to settle down. He saw Selena pointing her finger like Nathan. A sphere made of rampaging Ena appeared and exploded at point blank range.

Boom!

The shock wave launched August away, his body bouncing several times on the ground before stopping. On the other hand, Selena remained still as she formed a barrier at the last second.

”Thatʼs…” Nathan dropped his jaw in disbelief. ”Did she just hit the wall and let out that burst to the ground so that she could bait August? She blocked that burst with her barrier, but August didnʼt know it was possible.

”It was his fault for misunderstanding. And that was when she used that last burst to knock him down. But thatʼs…”

”Isnʼt that your way of fighting, young master?” Alisha had a smug on her face, teasing Nathan. ”It seems that she learns a lot from you. And this is the first time she is using that kind of technique. I wonder who is the one teaching her.”

”I didnʼt teach her that one.” Nathan shook his head. ”But I have never thought that Selena would be this strong.”

”But you still can defeat her.”

”With my cheap tricks? Yeah. But in a head-on battle, I donʼt think Iʼd win.”

”I wonder if this is a good influence or a bad one for her.” Alishaʼs grin became wider.

”Itʼs definitely good.”
