Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

Chapter 1014: The Actual Traitor?

“We have to pack up and leave as soon as possible.” Iskar put down a box on the desk.

“Young lord…” Sandra approached him apologetically.

Iskar glanced back before sighing. “It’s not your fault. If the possibility is not eliminated, it might cause some trouble.

“Even I think that there is a spy among us, but…”

Iskar couldn’t help but recall what had happened earlier. Garam had done everything he could to find the traitor, but none of the Hands actually betrayed the organization.

Hence, Iskar tried to extend the search to the entire organization. To everyone’s confusion, not a single member was found guilty. It was as if there was never a traitor to begin with.

As a result, they wasted their time earlier. Sandra was apologetic but didn’t get punished.

“…It turns out everything is just our fear.” Iskar shook his head helplessly. “Since you didn’t get punished, my teacher must have also believed in the possibility.

“However, the fact that there is no traitor here means we can only consider one possibility.”

Sandra’s expression turned grim. “The people who were captured betrayed us… Or the enemy might have a way to extract the information.”

“Yes. However, this is weird.” Iskar narrowed his eyes. “Master has said that the curse wasn’t destroyed or used. This meant they didn’t give them any information. Instead, the curse just returned to the master, showing that they were killed.

“In that case, there should be no way for them to extract information from a dead man. So, where did their information come from?”

Sandra looked down, hesitating for a moment. She clenched her hands into fists before suggesting one possibility. “Young lord… What if the enemy has a method to extract information from a dead man?”

“What do you mean?” Iskar stopped moving before turning his head back. “Elaborate.”

“Yes, young lord. I’m just wondering about the possibility of them extracting the information. Normally, you can’t extract such information. In fact, the lord’s curse has prevented you from using a mind technique and extracting the information from the mind directly.

“In that case, there is one possibility, which is the most absurd.” Sandra raised one finger. “What if the enemy extracts this information from the soul?”

“Huh?” Iskar was confused before shaking his head. “It shouldn’t be possible. Once you die, your soul is gone. As someone who has a power similar to this, I can boldly say that it’s impossible.”

“It should be impossible… But what if that person is Elysion Aquamoon?”

“!!!” Iskar raised his eyebrows in realization. If it was Elysion Aquamoon, who was known as death incarnate, he might be able to do it. “But there’s no way Elysion Aquamoon was the culprit.

“If he was trying to fight against us, with his strength, the Divine Hand would have ceased to exist a few months ago.”

“Yes. That’s why… I’m thinking… What if someone who has a similar ability to Elysion Aquamoon does it?”

“!!!” Iskar was surprised. He hadn’t considered this possibility. Even if it wasn’t Elysion Aquamoon, if that person had a similar ability, it was indeed possible. No. If they just used 20% of what Elysion Aquamoon was capable of, this might be possible.

However, this theory was too much of a stretch. Iskar simply couldn’t believe it.

Iskar shook his head. “Well, I will try to discuss it with Master once he calms down. For now, we should get away first. Get to work.”

“Yes.” Sandra nodded helplessly. She didn’t know how to explain everything that was currently happening to them anymore.

Little did both of them know, the situation had become much worse than they expected.

After all, in the middle of packing, a thunderous sound echoed throughout the base.

*Bam!*

“!!!” This explosion alerted every single person inside the base.

“This is…” Iskar widened his eyes in shock. “Don’t tell me…”

“Are we under attack?” Sandra panicked. There was no way the enemy could find them this quickly. No. If they could, did her suggestion in finding the traitor actually waste everyone’s time?

If she hadn’t put in that suggestion, they should have escaped from this place.

“This doesn’t look good…” Iskar’s expression turned dark. “Sandra!”

“Yes, young lord.” Sandra nodded, following right behind him as they went to find Garam.

But before they reached the door, they could feel a massive fluctuation of ena behind it. It became unstable quickly and caused a surge of ena.

“Watch out!” Iskar shouted. Sandra stepped forward and raised both arms while using her ena to raise a translucent shield.

*Boom!*

The explosion blasted open the door, but Sandra and Iskar remained unscathed.

“I have finally found you again. I have to pay you back for targeting me in that mine.” A familiar voice echoed from within the dust cloud.

“This voice…” Iskar gasped. He remembered this voice. It came from the youth that he targeted at the Blacksmith Guild’s headquarters.

When the dust cloud settled down, Iskar was shocked to find that person before him. “The unique summoner, Nathan!”

“!!!” Sandra widened her eyes in disbelief. But her gaze soon focused on the female next to Nathan. “Selena Ashton.”

“Heh.” Nathan smiled. “Do you think you’re the one in control this whole time? I have been waiting for this moment until I can finally pay you back for what you have done.”

“So, it’s you… You are the culprit! I don’t know what you’ve done, but you…” Iskar gritted his teeth.

“Oh. Is it really me? Why don’t you ask that woman of yours?” Nathan smiled.

“!!!” Iskar widened his eyes and turned his head to the side. Suddenly, he saw a fluctuation of ena, like a small flame attached to Sandra’s shoulder. “You…”

“Huh?!” Sandra was confused, but all of a sudden, it felt like she gained a lot of new memories. This memory showed her Nathan interrogating her, and she kept telling everything about the Divine Hand.

If this was the normal Sandra, she would have remembered that Garam’s curse would have killed her. But this was none other than Nathan’s trick.

By utilizing Mae’s illusion technique, he first wanted to sow discord among them.

And because of that memory, Sandra clutched her head in horror. “No way… This is me…?”

“You wretched woman!” Although he didn’t know what Sandra saw, the way she was acting was clear enough for him to see. Sandra was the traitor.

“You’re a pitiful woman. You don’t even realize you have betrayed the Divine Hand.” Nathan grinned.
