Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

Chapter 148: Unlucky Nathan (Bonus)

”Iʼm done here.” Sera let out a long breath, feeling tired after tying up over 30 people.

”Nice. Are you going to inform the authority right now? As much as I want to help, Anubis still has to remain.” Nathan pointed at Anubis. There were over fifty bandits that were still alive, so Anubis had to tie up the rest with his bandages.

”Donʼt worry. I have been receiving a lot from you, so Iʼll take care of everything else. Please watch over them while Iʼm reporting this to the government.”

”Sure.” Nathan waved his hand.

Brunhild volunteered to take her to the city since she could also fly. In the end, the fallen angel and the angel had to return.

Nathan just brought the bandits to the main hall and cooled down.

Fenrir asked, ”When are we going to the Ancient Library?”

”Let me ask a couple of questions first, since they are going to disappear after the trial ends. As for the time… I think the trial will end in one or two hours.” Nathan explained.

”Alright. Iʼll just sleep here then.” Fenrir walked to the basement, since it was the coolest place in this desert. Anubis remained by his side while Nidhogg had already returned.

As Nathan predicted, Sera came back an hour later.

”Iʼm back. The soldiers will come to this place in thirty minutes. I have explained the circumstances, and they will take care of it. Iʼm grateful that the guards are understanding.” Sera smiled. ”Itʼs thanks to you. Although I want to repay you, I donʼt know what I can give you right now.”

”Donʼt worry about it. Instead, how about answering a couple of questions from me?”

”If I can answer, then yes, with pleasure.” Sera nodded.

”First of all, why are you wearing clothes like these?”

”What do you mean?” Sera tilted her head in confusion.

”I mean, your clothes look tight, and the skirt has slits on the sides. Are you wearing the formal clothes from the church?”

”Ah!” Sera nodded in understanding. ”Iʼm not wearing formal clothes. According to Sonia… I mean, my fallen angel, if I wear clothes like these, I can get more benefits from the people. In fact, Iʼll be more popular, and the people will be more likely to follow the church.

”I canʼt really deny it. A lot of people have been giving more donations. They actually look happier as well. And itʼs not like Iʼm showing too much.”

Nathan blinked his eyes a few times while Anubis said, ”She got a point.”

ʼWhat a devious plan from the fallen angel! She is trying to corrupt her more and more. As one would expect from a fallen angel… I mean, she has done a good job!ʼ Nathanʼs gaze became more intense. Of course, there was no way he could say it.

Instead, he asked, while maintaining his poker face. ”Does the church not reprimand you about it?”

”Well, yes. In fact, my teacher has told me about it and doesnʼt know what to do.”

”Thatʼs understandable.” Nathan thought, ʼA corrupt priestess, huh? That sounds nice, but… no, wait. I have read a lot of stories about both extremes. The one who is filled with too much justice is annoying, but the opposite side is also troublesome.

ʼShould I attempt something that is rarely seen? Instead of both sides, should I combine them together?ʼ Nathan looked at Sera, imagining her having a white wing and a black wing.

ʼYes. This is it. From a universal point of view, this is balance. From martial artsʼs perspective, this is yin and yang. In normal peopleʼs eyes, this is day and night. Hehehe.

I am a genius.ʼ Still, Nathan couldnʼt help but sigh. ʼThen again, she is just an illusion. This will be over once the trial is completed. Such a shame.ʼ

”Whatʼs wrong?” Sera didnʼt know about Nathanʼs evil plan.

”Itʼs nothing. As long as you know the limit, I think you will do just fine.” Nathan hurriedly distracted her with a few more questions until the soldiers arrived.

Sera immediately greeted the soldiers and let them take over the situation. They tied them up and brought the bandit with them.

With this, the mission should have been completed. After the soldiers left, Nathan decided to get going.

”Itʼs thanks to you that this matter can be resolved in such a manner. For that, Iʼm grateful. If fate allows us, I hope we can meet again in the future.”

”Alright. Now that everything has been settled, itʼs time to go to the Ancient Library of the Fairy Queen.” Nathan grinned, his eyes so bright as if they were saying, ʼTake me please.ʼ

”Huh?” Sera tilted her head in confusion.

”Huh?” Nathan was taken aback by her response, which made him realize something. ”You… are not the one that will bring me to the ancient library? You are not the guide?”

Sera took a step back with a dumbfounded expression.

He had done all that and even completed the mission with a flying color. When he saw Seraʼs expression, all the memories from the past two days resurfaced in his mind.

The mission had been going exceptionally well this whole time. In fact, the situation was much more predictable compared to what he experienced so far.

At the same time, he realized that the simplicity of this mission came not from the bandits or Sera, but actually from the villagers. If the enemies were formed by the uneducated villagers, there was no way they could form a good plan against him and Sera.

In other words, what if this was real? What if not a single thing was like he thought? What if this was not the trial?

Nathan froze as he couldnʼt help but remember his luck as well as what the elder said to him.

”Your life will be filled with problems. However, all your luck has gone to women. Basically, your luck with women is the highest one Iʼve seen in my entire life. So you either die because of those problems or lead a fulfilling life.”

He finally understood those words. What he meant by his luck was Sera. Meanwhile, the rest of it was just him being unlucky. After all, he had to search for the guide from scratch.

The moment he realized Sera wasnʼt the guide, he couldnʼt help but scream, ”FUUU—”
