Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

Chapter 767: Ruler of the Sea

”Listen up!” Lena raised her voice. ”We will begin our expedition soon. The target this time is the graveyard.

”The ship will take us there and I, along with other summoners, will descend deep into the sea.

”I will leave the shipʼs protection to the person who will serve as my vice captain for this mission, Greg!”

”Understood!” Greg saluted, accepting the order.

Lena nodded and continued, ”We will return as quickly as possible and this mission will last for two days, so letʼs make it count. Understood?”

”Yes, Maʼam!” The people saluted.

”Good. In that case, I will introduce you to our adviser for this mission as well as the requester. He is Nathan, the unique summoner.” Lena noticed Nathan coming in, so she chose the perfect timing to introduce him.

The people couldnʼt help but shift their gaze to Nathan, only to find two women beside her. Still, a lot of them recognized Flora, considering she was the first princess as well as the princess who hailed from this town.

On the other hand, they didnʼt recognize Selena.

”Hmm?” Even Lena couldnʼt help but furrow her eyebrows. ”Flora? And who are you?”

Flora smiled wryly. ”Iʼm sorry for deciding it without telling you. Actually, this person is Selena Ashton, a helper Iʼve brought from outside. I believe she has the ability to help you with this mission.”

”…” Lena squinted her eyes. It wasnʼt hard to realize Selenaʼs relationship. She didnʼt even understand why Flora would ask her to come, but she couldnʼt really dismiss her that easily.

At the same time, she couldnʼt take her in just like that. Lena asked, ”What is the meaning of this, Adviser Nathan?”

Nathan nodded, expecting this reaction. ”I also believe she can help us. Thatʼs why I hope that Admiral Lena can accept her into the team. Besides, the plan you have is good, but I believe it could be better. If we have her highness Flora on board, even if she canʼt help us under the sea, she will be able to protect the boat.”

Lena turned to Selena, asking if she had something to say.

Selena politely bowed. ”I am Selena Ashton. Admiral. I know that my entry is sudden, but I hope you give me a chance. I wonʼt become a burden. You can test me in any way you want if youʼre unsure about my strength.”

Lena paused for a moment before saying, ”Can you even make a barrier?”

Selena released her ena as skeleton bones started to appear around her. This was even more terrifying than a barrier, as this barrier of hers was in the form of an avatar, which could help her fight.

The people couldnʼt help but drop their jaws, realizing how exquisite her control was. Even Lena didnʼt expect an avatar to come out.

Lena added, ”In that case, Chloe. You go test her. I will permit you to unleash your strength for one minute. I will decide whether youʼre qualified or not. The rest will have to step aside.”

The people started walking to the side as a female summoner walked to the front.

Chloe politely put her hand on her chest, giving Selena a military salute. ”I am Chloe. Admiralʼs order. I wonʼt hold back.”

Selena nodded. ”Selena Ashton. Use your strength anyway you wish.”

”In that case…” Chloe released her ena along with her familiars. As expected of summoners who resided in this town, their familiars were different from what they had seen so far.

Chloe summoned four familiars. The first one was a humanoid fish called Sahuagin. The rest had the bodies of humans but tails of fish. However, the first one had a harp in her hand while the other two didnʼt have anything.

At first glance, Nathan could see that the first one was a siren while the other two were normal mermaids.

Unfortunately for them, their opponent was Selena.

Selena tapped the ground with the back of her staff and called, ”Amphitrite. I will leave them to you.”

Clink!

Another clicking sound echoed as an extraordinary pressure appeared from behind Selena.

For humans, they wouldnʼt really feel that much difference. However, it was different for the sea creatures.

They couldnʼt help but widen their eyes, sensing the superiority of the familiar who had just appeared. Unlike them, she looked like a perfect human holding a trident, but all of them knew she wasnʼt a human.

There was a faint sense of submission that made them want to lower their knees before her.

”Now that Iʼm here, why donʼt all of you kneel down?” Amphitrite asked, her voice carrying such an authority that they couldnʼt help but tremble. However, since they were going to fight, they resisted the urge and pointed their weapons.

Chloe was dumbfounded, as this was the first time she saw an opponent that could make her familiars tremble in fear.

Lena, on the other hand, had realized what was going on. Just like Flora said, Selena could truly help them. Even without her own strength, this familiar alone could help them.

Nathan was just smiling inwardly. That was right. Unlike Fenrir and the others, Amphitrite was the ruler of the sea. Even if she didnʼt have absolute suppression over her own race, her authority as the ruler was definitely enough to make sea creatures tremble.

Lena hurriedly stopped the match, as there was no point in continuing. ”Thatʼs enough. Chloe. Recall your familiars.”

”Y-Yes.” Chloe looked down, feeling ashamed.

”Thank you.” Selena whispered to Amphitrite.

Amphitrite nodded and disappeared as well.

Everyone was still too shocked by what happened, but they heard Lena saying, ”I shall accept the participation of Selena Ashton and Flora Vietta Ezelia. Selena Ashton will be a part of the advance party.

”Meanwhile, her highness Flora might be strong, but she has no experience in commanding a battle like this. Hence, she shall serve as Gregʼs deputy and protect the boat.

”Greg. I trust you. Protect her, even at the cost of your life.”

”Yes, Maʼam!”

”Good.” Lena waved her hand. ”In that case, letʼs set out!”
