“This is not normal, right?”
Selena was still speechless while Risa placed her hands on Nathan’s shoulder while panting as if she were exhausted.
“Ha… This is…” Risa noticed what was going on with her body. “I have become… a marchioness?”
“What?!” Selena dropped her jaw in disbelief. She knew Risa had the potential of turning into a countess in the future, but she never expected that her potential had just been upgraded by taking Nathan’s blood.
Even Nathan understood what this meant. ‘What is going on? A marchioness is the female counterpart of a marquis, right? Is she evolving?
‘But why is my blood triggering such an evolution? Is my blood special? But I’m supposed to be a farmer, right? Don’t tell me, my parents are actually a secret royalty who are eloping because their relationship is not approved or something?
‘But will royal blood even change anything? Or is Risa actually sucking the blood fused with a different soul? If we’re thinking about it, my soul is not from this world like them. Is it related to that?
‘Then again, I might sound arrogant, but I’m sure different by having the ability to summon divine beasts, and it’s a guarantee of a divine beast, not a normal beast.
‘Now that I think about it, the first time I figured out the Soul Contract and how I thought the original Nathan had a contract with me before the summoning had some flaws in that logic.
‘After all, I would have been summoned first before I could even use the Soul Contract, so the teacher and other students would have seen me instead of immediately possessing this body.
‘I don’t really know, and I don’t think I can find the answer right now. All I know is that my body is special. It seems that I have to take my time to find out the true secret hidden in this body.’
“I…” Risa didn’t know what to say. She wanted to thank him and explain what was going on, but the enemies were coming.
Boom!
They felt a shock wave not far from this place. When they turned their heads around, they saw Fenrir’s giant silhouette coming toward them. They had run out of time.
“We don’t have time. Let’s discuss it later, Risa.”
Risa nodded with a solemn expression and hurriedly stood up.
Seeing Nathan struggle to get up, Anubis shared a bit of his healing power with him, speeding up his metabolism. He would still need treatment if he wanted to replenish all the blood, but this was enough for this fight.
“Thanks, Anubis. Take care of Selena for a bit, will you?”
Anubis nodded. “Be careful.”
Nathan waved his hand as Risa and Sasha followed him.
“Risa, Sasha. Do you mind fighting against your original opponents? I want you two to stop the summoner and his three familiars while I and Fenrir take down the other one. It’ll probably take less than one minute.” Nathan explained.
“Sir… Let Sasha help you. While I’m not strong enough to defeat them by myself, I should be able to contain those four by myself. With Sasha’s help, you should be able to defeat that summoner much easier,” Risa suggested.
Nathan noticed the change in how Risa addressed him. It seemed that the impact of that evolution was quite big. He might be wrong, but the fact that she could evolve her potential just by drinking his blood meant there was a chance to take a step further and become a duchess. No, she might even reach a higher level, such as a royal or even a progenitor.
There was no basis, but that potential alone was enough to change the way Risa treated him, even if she wasn’t his familiar.
Nathan found confidence and resolve in Risa’s face. He didn’t know what kind of abilities she got from becoming a marchioness, but he probably could rely on her this time.
“Alright. I’ll leave them to you, Risa. Sasha, you take care of the fallen angel. Don’t let him use his weird spell. That is enough for me.”
Risa and Sasha nodded their heads.
…
Fenrir was restrained by dark tentacles from the black holes while the gargoyle, the minotaur, and the centaur attacked him at the same time.
“Gah!” Fenrir gritted her teeth. He dispersed the black hole and leaped backward.
The two summoners were about to reach him while the elf and the arachne concentrated on their own abilities.
All of a sudden, several blood spears fell down, forcing the dagger user to halt his steps.
“!!!” The enemies were startled and tried to change their targets, realizing that the enemies had decided to make a counterattack.
But before they could do it, Risa and Sasha landed next to the centaur and the dagger user respectively. freewebnσvel.cѳm
After attacking Fenrir, the centaur wasn’t in a position to repel her, so he desperately swung his blades toward her.
Risa grabbed his wrist and threw him toward the elf and arachne with a much stronger strength than Sasha. On the other hand, the dagger user struck Sasha, only to be blocked with her claws. Just like Risa, she threw this summoner toward his familiars, separating him from the entire group.
After that, Sasha continued toward the fallen angel while Risa positioned herself between the enemies, becoming a wall that separated the second summoner from the rest.
“O’ Blood, turn this place into a battlefield. Blood Field!” Risa waved her hand as blood started rising from the ground, forming a half-sphere that isolated this place from the outside world. She looked at these four in a condescending way. “Your enemy is me.”
The minotaur and the gargoyle were forced to retreat because they were not enough to stop Fenrir in this state.
Nathan caught up to Fenrir while saying, “Yo. Are you good for one more round? We will kill this guy in one strike.”
Fenrir couldn’t help but grin. The reason he was asking was because his entire body was covered in injuries, but this was nothing for Fenrir.
“That’s the best thing I heard today. Let’s kill them!”
