Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

Chapter 36: Fighting the Aliens

”So thatʼs the juvenile class alien.” Selena crossed her arms. She could see the monstrous juvenile class alien. It was holding the tree like a weapon as if the alien noticed threats.

”Yeah. Weʼll proceed according to the plan.” Nathan nodded. Fenrir immediately left the group, hiding behind a tree.

Meanwhile, Nathan, Selena, and Risa walked to the bottom of the hill in the open as if trying to get the attention of the alien.

”!!!” The aliens raised their heads before turning them down as if they had located some presence.

The aliens with mouths made some weird noises as if they were communicating, but before the juvenile class alien responded, the proto-class aliens charged forward like raging beasts.

”Get ready. There are eight aliens.” Risa warned them.

”Three more than reported.” Selena nodded. There might be a lot of proto-class aliens, but it was still manageable.

”I will try to get the attention of the four in the center.” Risa flapped her wings, taking off into the air.

”Iʼll take those two on the right. You take the left ones.” Selena started moving, only to find that Nathan remained unresponsive as if he were stunned by their numbers.

However, Nathan was actually observing the aliensʼ behavior. He thought that the proto-class aliens had acknowledged the big alien to be their superior and followed its instruction, but he didnʼt know the intelligence of these aliens.

ʼThey are not beasts but symbiotes.ʼ Nathan muttered inwardly as if realizing something. He suddenly stepped forward, concentrating his energy into his palm.

”Nathan?!” Selena wanted him to snap back and get into the position.

To her surprise, the juvenile class turned around as though it had been waiting for them to drop their guards down. The juvenile class alien tossed the tree like it was a javelin.

”Selena!” Risa shouted, ready to fly back.

Yes, Selena got distracted because of Nathan. It seemed that he had underestimated the intelligence of the alien. He never thought that the juvenile class alien was actually smart enough to use other aliens as a distraction.

Nathan used the Deadly Claw to intercept the tree, cutting it in the middle so that the trunk would crush to their sides instead of them. Still, Nathan didnʼt have enough skill to move away the small circular pieces cut between each claw.

He grabbed Selenaʼs hand and pulled her forward, avoiding them.

”Letʼs go,” said Nathan before Selena said anything.

Seeing the aliens were about to arrive, Selena shook her head to regain her focus and headed to her designated spot.

”Rawr!” Several aliens leaped into the air to drag Risa down, but the latter simply raised her altitude for a little bit.

Because the aliens couldnʼt reach her, they immediately shifted their targets from her to Nathan and Selena.

”Not going to let you!” Risa hurriedly landed behind them. With a single wave of her hand, several blood spears formed around her. ”Go!”

The blood spears flew like an arrow.

The aliens sensed the Ena made of the blood spears, their instinct telling them to avoid them.

This time, the aliens were split into two groups, Nathan and Selena facing four each.

She was Selenaʼs familiar, so she immediately chased after the aliens that came toward Selena while shouting, ”Iʼll take care of them. Help him!”

As soon as she grasped her intention, Selena headed to Nathan. The aliens turning into two groups werenʼt in their speculation, but the plan still worked.

Blood Tornadoes.

Risa shot out tornadoes to the left and right of this group, which isolated them.

The aliens wanted to escape, but they noticed that the power of those tornadoes was beyond what they could handle. As a result, those four aliens turned around, changing their target to Risa.

Meanwhile, Nathan used his Deadly Claw from the left so that the aliens didnʼt go too far in that direction.

Since Selena was about to arrive, Nathan extended his right hand, shooting out the claws. His timing was perfect as the claws actually went in the middle, separating the four aliens evenly.

One alien tried to rip apart the claws with their own while another alien clasped its hands and smashed it from above.

The Ena dispersed, which opened up the way, but Nathan only wanted to buy some time.

Selena halted her step as the two aliens had stepped into her attack range. She waved her hands, concentrating her Ena around her body and forming four floating spheres. They were only hand-sized, but they looked pretty similar to what Risa did.

The spheres flew toward the aliens, moving faster than Risaʼs blood spheres.

The aliens noticed it, but unlike the blood spears, they actually hit the aliens and knocked them down to the ground. Unfortunately, in exchange for speed, the spheres didnʼt pack too much strength. If those were blood spears, they would have pierced through their bodies.

Still, stopping those two aliens was enough since Nathan could focus on the other two.

The aliens approached Nathan head-on. After fighting a lot of them in the last couple of days, Nathan had become bold enough to do the same.

All of them were moving at high speed as if Nathan were ready for a head-on collision.

Unlike Selena, the two aliens that came toward him were beast-like. They both pounced on him at the same time.

Nathan couldnʼt help but smile. He pulled his hand back, pointing it toward the ground. After that, he used the Deadly Claw and planted it inside the ground. As a result, his claws stuck, stopping his momentum.

It was a bit painful for his arm, but this action caused the two aliens to miss their target.

Nathan waved his other hand, attacking them from the side.

The right alien blocked the Deadly Claw with both arms, but the Deadly Claw actually cut the arm halfway. If it moved just one step too late, he would have cut them.

Right after Nathan and Selena gained ground against their respective enemies, they heard the sound of a wood snapping.

*Crack!*

Because of his position, Nathan could see perfectly the juvenile class alien had broken another tree, ready to throw it. The alienʼs target was clearly Risa, whose back was exposed.

Yet there was no shred of doubt in Nathanʼs heart that the log wouldnʼt reach Risa.

After all, the beast that they had been waiting for had reached the alien.

”Grrr!” Fenrir leaped into the air, about to rip the alienʼs neck apart with its sharp teeth.
