“Selena?” Nathan looked shocked, but the enemy summoner was about to attack him again, taking advantage of the distraction.
However, an explosive bullet suddenly flew toward him. Because he was too focused on Nathan, he didn’t see the explosive bullet as it burst right in front of him, blowing him away.
“!!!”
All familiars, whether they were allies or enemies, couldn’t help but see what was going on.
“Fenrir, Anubis!”
Fenrir wanted to get away, but the minotaur smashed him with his hammer. Fortunately, Selena was fast enough to use her explosive bullet to push the minotaur away.
The gargoyle attacked him, but it only left a minor injury, which Anubis could easily heal.
On the other hand, Anubis managed to throw the fallen angel away by using his bandage.
Selena couldn’t help but bite her lips. She wanted to say that she was fine and she could still take care of the enemy, but being stubborn would just cause even more problems.
That was why Selena dropped her pride and said, “Sorry.”
She apologized for becoming his burden and still needed his help so that she could fight again.
The enemies from Selena’s side were also coming, so Nathan immediately ordered, “Let’s get away first!”
All of them ran as quickly as possible as Fenrir and Risa took care of the rear. Anubis diagnosed Selena and said, “It’s impossible to cure her. My power hasn’t reached the level of removing poison.”
“What?” Nathan looked shocked. It seemed that he had to kill the opponent as quickly as possible and somehow forced them to give the antidote.
He couldn’t even defeat his opponent easily, so fighting both of them by himself was just foolish.
Selena wanted him to abandon her, but her mouth refused to say it because the thought of him leaving reminded her of how lonely she was when her father was missing.
And Nathan didn’t have the intention of abandoning her.
‘I might go broke after this…’ Nathan squinted his eyes. There was one thing he could try, but it was definitely costly for him. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
Nathan asked out loud, “Anubis, Fenrir. What ability do you need to solve this situation?”
Anubis knew what Nathan wanted. He had to heal the girl.
The way he asked what kind of ability he needed meant the skills they had yet to unlock. Anubis finally understood Nathan’s plan.
At the same time, he also calculated the amount of Ena and the possibility of solving the problem.
Anubis replied, “Upgrade my Ankh of Immortality!”
“!!!” Fenrir was distracted by the enemies’ attacks, but after hearing Anubis’ choice, he understood it as well.
But before he answered, there was something he had to make clear. “What do you want me to do?”
“Stop all of them by yourself for 3… no, 2 minutes.”
Fenrir squinted his eyes and said, “Gigantification!”
Nathan’s expression turned solemn as he said to Selena and the others, who looked confused about the ability they were talking about. “Sasha, Risa. Speed up and let us take care of the rear.”
“But they are strong!” Risa looked worried, knowing that Nathan wasn’t strong enough to fight them by himself.
“Trust me!”
Risa felt goosebumps when she heard that stern tone and saw that sincere face. She placed her hand on the ground and summoned the Blood Wave once again, blocking the enemy’s view for a moment.
After that, she increased her pace and led Sasha and Selena away. “Let’s go!”
Nathan smiled because no one would see what he was about to do.
Nathan formed three contracts at the same time. If he made one contract at a time, he would have to pay the price in succession, meaning that the contract might return to its original state.
Hence, he had to sign these three contracts at the same time.
That was right. Nathan might be able to contract an element, but his Soul Contract actually wasn’t that weak.
The original Soul Contract allowed him to make an agreement between two subjects. In this version of Soul Contract, he could make a deal with an object, specifically an intangible object. That was why he could contract an element.
The first contract was for himself.
‘In exchange for 50 Ena, Nathan Reckmoon will be able to wield the wind in this area for 10 minutes.’
It was an obvious contract, but the next two contracts were slightly different. Instead of an element, he actually made a deal with the ability itself or more like the list of the skills that locked their abilities. Since it was only present in their mind, the list of the skills could be considered an ‘intangible object.’
‘In exchange for 100 Ena, which will be paid by Nathan Reckmoon, the Ankh of Immortality will be unlocked for 30 minutes.’
‘In exchange for 100 Ena, which will be paid by Nathan Reckmoon, the Gigantification will be unlocked for 30 minutes.’
The reason Nathan only gave himself ten minutes while the other thirty minutes was because he didn’t have enough Ena to keep using that ability while the others could remain fighting in case something unexpected happened.
Nathan hurriedly moved toward the tree, using it as a cover so that the enemies didn’t know what they were doing.
“Fenrir, Anubis!”
Both of them immediately came toward him as Nathan instructed, “Match my speed!”
If someone messed up their speed, the other two contracts would definitely fail since he probably lost enough Ena to cause the Soul Contract to revert to its original form.
And the one who had the highest chance to mess it up was him. That was why it was better for Anubis and Fenrir, two divine beasts, to match him.
Nathan bit his thumb as Anubis and Fenrir followed suit. They watched Nathan’s thumb carefully and signed the contract at the same time.
Nathan’s body shook violently as his Ena left his body. He had just lost 250 Ena for an ability that he could only use for a moment. It was painful, but there was no other way.
“Go for it, Partner!” Nathan grinned as he and Anubis sped up, leaving Fenrir behind.
Fenrir halted his steps and started growing, his height increasing to 4 meters (13 feet). It was an incomplete ability, but this was enough for Fenrir.
The enemies widened their eyes in shock as Fenrir suddenly let out a roar so loud that the ground trembled.
“Ooooohhh!”
