Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

Chapter 130: Clue (Bonus)

”Whatʼs with this heat? Isnʼt it too much?” asked Nathan while gritting his teeth.

After wearing the clothes the elder gave, he realized that there was a special function hidden in this robe. Despite covering his entire body, he didnʼt feel a lot of heat piercing through it. In fact, there was chilling air that the clothes emitted. Even though it was weak, it reduced the heat a lot.

Still, this was the first time he went to a desert. The temperature was so hot that he ended up finishing an entire bottle in the first hour of their journey.

”This is too much, donʼt you think?” Nathan repeated his question while glancing to the side.

The one who accompanied him this time was none other than Anubis.

”You are too weak. This heat is nothing. Why do you even call me here? You can go by yourself. Even if you need someone to accompany you, you can get Fenrir or Nidhogg.”

Nathan smiled wryly. ”Come on. According to your myth and location, itʼs clear that you once lived in an area like this, no? Fenrir will probably die because of this heat. No, I will just ask him to be my blanket for the night.”

”Thatʼs true.” Anubis resigned to his fate. He had gotten used to this kind of heat. And since Nathan had to go for a few days, he should definitely guide him with his experience.

”Nevertheless, we will have to travel like this for several days. If nothing happens in seven days, it means we wonʼt be able to enter the Ancient Library. So weʼll just fly back and be done with it.”

”Fair enough.” Anubis nodded. ”Still, a library, huh? If we think about the size, the magical mysteries, and the content… It is similar to the tomb. It seems that the Fairy Queen and the Dwarf King have transcended to a divine being.”

”I donʼt really know about that.” Nathan shrugged. ”If they have transcended, what kind of knowledge and skill do they possess?”

”I donʼt know, but you said a dwarf is a race who excels in the art of crafting. In that case, itʼs possible for him to build a majestic underground library. And the Fairy Queen has an illusion power that can make such a thing invisible. There might be other people involved.”

”Thatʼs the question. Can you actually make something that lasts for eternity?”

”It is possible. There are two ways to maintain such a thing. The first is faith, and the second is yourself.”

”Faith?” Nathan frowned. If that was the case, it meant the pyramids or tombs or other landmarks that were left behind from the past might actually be still functional. The only problem was the faith.

If people believed it, they would be real. If people didnʼt believe it, they would be forgotten.

”I see.” Nathan nodded in understanding.

”But there is a third way to preserve it in this world. We can use the Ena from those cores. You can simply use the illusion to ask someone to bring cores, right? Or there might be a tribe that preserves it.”

”Yes. That might be the reason.” Nathan agreed with him. ”This makes me excited.”

For the next two days, Nathan followed the elderʼs instruction by following the sun. Anubis would accompany him as he traveled across the sand hills, helping him to conserve his stamina.

There might not be a lot of danger, especially from the aliens, but it would be hard even for Nathan to survive in this environment had it not been for his familiars.

During the night, Fenrir would warm him up. He was fortunate enough that there was a giant ʼfur ballʼ as his familiar. Of course, Nidhogg also set up the fire.

The journey was quite harsh, and his exposed skin got sunburn, but he persisted until they found their first clue.

”Help!” a femaleʼs voice echoed from a distance.

It was quite far, and the sound was pretty weak, but Anubis picked it up. ”Someone needs help over there.”

”Hmm?” Nathan frowned. ”Is there really someone? One person?”

”Yes. I donʼt hear any other footsteps beside her.”

”Her? Letʼs go!” Nathan grinned.

”…” Anubis rolled his eyes as if knowing this was the biggest reason.

He shook his head first before following Nathan and finding a woman losing her consciousness due to the heat.

To their surprise, the woman didnʼt seem to be local because she was wearing a nun robe.

More importantly, the skirt had a high slit on both sides, revealing her legs.

”We have to help her, Anubis.” Nathan hurriedly approached her.

”If this is a man, you wouldnʼt be that excited.” Anubisʼ eyebrows twitched.

”What? Do you think Iʼm such a lowly person? I will help him. Itʼs just…” Nathan pointed at the woman. ”This must be the guide.”

”Huh?” Anubis frowned.

”Yes. The elder said that the guide will come alone in any kind of form depending on my character.”

”So, your character shapes the guide into a woman?”

”We donʼt talk about it.” Nathan waved his hand. ”Anyway, just look at her. Despite being a nun, doesnʼt she look sexy? Look at her skirt and now remember Noelleʼs armor.”

”Hmm?” Anubis suddenly caught Nathanʼs true intention. Back then, Nathan said, ”Donʼt you know bikini armor has the highest defense?”

However, Noelle was rather rational and chose full body armor because there was a logic behind it.

Meanwhile, this nun looked sexy. For a nun like this, she should have covered her body instead of being the one inciting the lust from people.

”So she is the guide…”

”Thatʼs what I have been saying this whole time. Stop with that judging gaze!” Nathan sighed. ”Because people are so logical in this world compared to the stories Iʼve read, this kind of irrational thing must not be the people of this world. In other words, this nun is the guide we have been looking for.”

Anubis couldnʼt really find a flaw in his argument. Even though his mind was impure, there was nothing wrong with Nathanʼs logic.

”Alright. Letʼs heal her.”
