Chapter 344: Fenrir and Jinwu
Flora's body was shaking uncontrollably as she gazed upon the sun that Nathan had just summoned.
'He is really summoning the sun? No, that's not important. How come he is able to summon a familiar of this magnitude without a good item? He only has a mulberry tree. The dragon's blood might be good, but his blood?
'Now that I think about it, he is talking about the familiar's information. Considering he has gone to the Ancient Library, does he know a different version of the summoning chant? Is it like a prayer?
'Nevertheless, it doesn't change the fact that he can release a beast of this level.'
Back in Noelle's day, she managed to summon a high-ranking demon, but that was with a huge defect. The reaction wasn't as big as Nathan's summoning.
'If he can even summon a familiar of this level with such a preparation, it's clear that in the future, his familiars will be of the same level or even higher. Although their paths might be different, he might be able to go toe-to-toe against the likes of the Sage. No, he might even surpass them.'
Flora gulped down as though she were thinking about something.
"Flora! What are you doing?" Nathan shouted while pointing at the elephant.
"Ah!" Flora snapped back, almost forgetting about her role. She immediately leaped into the sky while summoning all her spirits.
As soon as she got a clear view of the elephant, she channeled her power into a massive magic circle. It even created three layers.
"Advanced Elemental Magic, Lightning Dragon."
The magic circle fused into one before summoning a long dragon. The lightning dragon flew toward the elephant.
The latter was still affected by the burning sun but managed to tilt its body so that its trunk would hit the lightning dragon.
To the alien's surprise, the lightning dragon burned the trunk with intense heat before hitting the alien's head.
The alien let out a cry, trying to use its tough body to withstand the power of the lightning dragon.
"It's impossible to stop it in your condition, especially after I pour 40% of my Ena. You have to die now." Flora muttered coldly.
The lightning dragon suddenly let out a roar and started melting down the head.
The elephant looked shocked, but there was nothing it could do. Once the lightning dragon broke through its tough skin, it melted its flesh and blood, piercing through all the way to its body before exploding.
Boom!
The explosion engulfed the elephant's entire body.
It only lasted two seconds before the effect of the explosion was revealed. The lightning dragon obliterated the entire body as the alien's core dropped into the ground.
The long legs of the elephant fell down and crushed trees or aliens underneath it.
The death of the mature class alien made the aliens even angrier. They were planning to kill Flora with everything she had.
However, her gaze was fixated on the humanoid alien on the ground. The humanoid alien had a round head with multiple red eyes surrounding it. It didn't seem to have a mouth.
The mutant had a pair of wings and its arms looked like a human. Each finger had been covered by the black cell, causing the nails to look like blades. In addition, the arms had several tentacles that could extend and shrink depending on what the alien needed.
Sera flew right after with Brunhild, looking at the giant worm. "Our mission is to kill that worm with Nathan. It's going to be hard, but we don't have a choice. I will focus all my abilities on you since you're probably the only ones who can penetrate the worm's thick skin right now."
Brunhild nodded. "I understand. I will do my best."
Nathan, on the other hand, had stood on top of the mountain with Nidhogg's help. Fenrir and Anubis had appeared at his side.
He first glanced to the side as the fighters and summoners from the Blacksmith Guild emerged from the tunnel.
"Let's go. We'll fight those aliens!"
"They're scary, but we just have to handle the little ones."
"Ooh!"
They looked pumped up, especially since the mature class aliens had been contained by the sun earlier.
Nathan positioned them around the worm so that they could take down all the unnecessary aliens while Sera fought the worm. If they did a great job, they could peel off aliens from Flora's side as well.
Nathan turned to the giant humanoid while saying, "Nidhogg, Anubis. You two work together with Fenrir and peel off those pesky aliens. Jinwu doesn't need help, I think… His power is centered on abilities that could kill a lot of targets, so make sure Fenrir can kill the spider."
Nidhogg and Anubis nodded. Although they were a bit disappointed, it seemed Nathan had chosen Fenrir to fight the spider this time.
Nathan raised his head, looking at Jinwu. He raised his hand and showed the contract he made with Fenrir.
[In exchange for killing the mature class alien spider, Nathan is to give him 7,500 Ena up front.]
Fenrir's expression turned solemn. "Are you sure about this?"
"Well, I don't know what kind of thing will happen with the addition of Jinwu, but according to your legend, once you are able to free yourself from the chains, you will devour the sun. Jinwu represents the sun, so if something happens, you are the one who needs to contain him.
"I hope nothing goes wrong... Either way, this is a task for you, Fenrir. Kill the spider as quickly as possible and start rampaging on other battlefields. Your power focuses on your superior physical abilities, so you will be able to last longer in a battle compared to others. So, kill those aliens."
Nathan then turned to Nidhogg and Anubis. "Sorry, both of you. That's how it is…"
Anubis and Nidhogg nodded. "It's fine. We first need to survive from this situation."
Nathan smiled. "Go, my family."
Anubis leaped into Nidhogg's back as both of them took off. Fenrir felt the weight of the responsibility and swore not to disappoint Nathan and the others.
Gigantification.
Fenrir's body gradually expanded, matching the size of the spider. His eyes turned bloodshot as he let out a howl.
There were two abilities he got from getting all that Ena, and he used both at the same time.
"Absolute Strength (Low)."
"Divine Body (Low)."
