Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

Chapter 158: Nathanʼs Choice

”12 heroes, huh?” Nathan looked down, falling into deep thought.

”Yes. The 12 heroes share the knowledge about the summoning ritual as well as the awakening of Ena to the world.

”They used their power to stop the invasion of the aliens. Their sacrifice allowed the world to gain ground and continue fighting the aliens.

”Out of the twelve heroes, I believe there are four people who are known to have inherited their strength. The first is the man who is known as the Dragon King. He has the same draconian as the Draconic Hero.

”The second person is the current king of the Azilia Kingdom. Then again, one of those twelve hailed from the Azilia Kingdom, so itʼs not weird to have one from this kingdom.

”The third person is the pope of the Holy Kingdom. He has received the blessing of the first saintess.

”The fourth person is that man in the north. Although I havenʼt confirmed it, he must have gotten an item from the Death Hero, who happens to be one of Asuraʼs illegitimate sons.

”However, donʼt be too fixated on the word ʼheroʼ because there are plenty of people whose strength has rivaled those twelve heroes or even surpassed them.”

Nathan nodded in understanding.

”Thatʼs all about the story. Do you want to know anything else? Iʼm personally curious about what you mean by Yog-Sothoth.”

Nathan smiled wryly. Before he could say something, Fenrir suddenly shouted, ”I want to fight all of them.”

His voice was so loud that even Anubis was startled.

”Fenrir. Youʼre not supposed to make a loud noise in the library.” Nathan placed his finger in front of his lips, implying he needed to be quiet.

Charlotte chuckled and said, ”I donʼt mind. There is no one else except for me usually.”

Fenrir ignored their remarks and simply said excitedly, ”Oi. Letʼs summon these people. I want to fight them. They look strong, so it must be exciting to fight them. I want to fight, but Anubis is not my match, while that lazy Nidhogg doesnʼt want to move. Whatʼs going to be your fourth familiar?”

”Youʼre talking too early. I just have summoned Nidhogg, so itʼs too early to talk about the fourth familiar. Well, I do plan to have five familiars by the time I reach the second year, but itʼs still too early.”

”Whatʼs the familiar you have in mind?” Fenrirʼs expression brightened. ”We need someone who can act as a vanguard like me.”

”Thatʼs true.” Nathan thought for a moment before pointing at Fenrir. ”You and Nidhogg come from Norse Mythology. Anubis originates from Egyptian Mythology. I think I want a change. At the very least, the next familiar wonʼt come from both mythologies. Letʼs see… Maybe I will go with Greek Mythology or go entirely to the east.

”There are a lot of mythical beasts in the eastern mythologies. I personally want an auspicious beast because of this luck of mine, like Pixiu, Qilin, or Baxia. But there are also divine beasts who are strong fighters.

”I will just choose one of them, depending on our circumstances and what kind of item we can get to summon the next familiar.

”I mean, it will be better if I have familiars for all terrains like a desert, swamp, sea, and so on. Hence, I havenʼt made my decision yet. Maybe after the next event, I will use the next three months to summon another beast.

”This way, I will have four familiars before the upperclassman can challenge us. Thatʼs my idea.” Nathan explained.

”That sounds good. I guess I will be patient.” Fenrir sighed and went back to the book.

Nathan smiled wryly. In the end, this was just a plan. He knew that all his plans never worked, so he would just improvise on the fly as usual.

Nathan turned back to Charlotte. ”There are several things I want to ask.”

Considering he was in the presence of the most knowledgeable person in this world, it would be better to know everything he was confused about, starting with Selena.

”Do you know how to deal with a noble that has been kicked out of the family?”

Charlotte frowned. ”Thatʼs a hard question. There are tracking experts, but it seems this matter is quite complex.”

”Thatʼs true.” Nathan described everything he knew about Selena. Unfortunately, he didnʼt know about her father going missing or the details about it, so he only discussed the problem with the acting count.

Charlotte crossed her arms. ”Isnʼt that rather simple? The moment she summons the vampire progenitor, the balance will tip off. She looks like she is smart enough to figure out how to handle her own family, so I donʼt think you need to worry.”

”Is that so?” Nathan scratched the back of his head. ”Then how about a familiar whose summon is incomplete because the summoner rushed the summoning ritual? For example, the familiar didnʼt have a mount he was supposed to have.”

”As I said previously, the chants and the summoning circle have been improved continuously. The fact that the summon was incomplete meant there were problems with the summoning circle. That was why it was suggested to summon a familiar in a safe environment.” Charlotte frowned. ”Are you trying to do such a thing?”

”No.” Nathan scratched the back of his head before changing the topic. ”How about telling me a way to improve? With your strength and experience, giving solid advice shouldnʼt be a problem, right? Itʼs not like Iʼm asking you to pick a technique book for me.”

”I see. I have watched your fight, so I can understand what kind of fighting style you have.” She thought for a moment before raising her finger. A sphere suddenly formed on top of her finger and started circling around her finger and gradually moved toward her arm and body.

”I think this should be it. You should form a sphere and move it around like this, from a horizontal movement to a universal movement.

”Your explosive attack is also quite unstable. Once youʼre able to move the sphere all around your body, you can start changing the rotation of your sphere. Once you master it, you can actually use the explosive attack more accurately. Do you have time to spend here?”

”I can probably stay for another three days.” Nathan nodded.

”In that case, I will fix your form a bit and the way to manipulate your Ena in the next three days.”
