Everyone couldn’t help but widen their eyes in shock. That terrifying dragon actually shrank to this size. Even though he was still taller than anyone else in this place, it didn’t change the fact that he was only a tenth of its original size.
Nathan had expected this after seeing how Fenrir and Anubis were weaker or smaller after getting summoned, so he quickly regained his composure.
In fact, he had focused on the dragon’s status.
Name: Nidhogg
Level: 54
Race: Chaos Dragon
Quality: Good (Low)
Nathan faced a dilemma. On the one hand, he wanted to be happy because he could summon what he originally planned to summon, unlike Anubis’ case. On the other hand, he didn’t expect that Nidhogg would actually suck all his Ena one-sidedly.
The Dragon King turned around, glancing at his draconian. He thought, ‘This dragon is a true dragon. Even though he is a draconian, a combination between a human and a dragon, it doesn’t change the fact that he is a high ranking draconian… no, one of the strongest draconians.
‘Yet he is feeling the suppression, as if realizing his own blood is inferior to this dragon. If that’s the case, the reason for the dragon to change its form…’
The Dragon King froze when he found the answer. ‘Don’t tell me. The dragon is actually sealing its own power to come to this world? Is it because that lad doesn’t have enough Ena that he has to limit himself?
‘I think I have heard this story somewhere. No, wait. Doesn’t the pope have a similar story? His archangel is sealing his own power so that he can ‘descend’ to this world and make him the pope? Unlike the usual familiar, the ones who seal their power will be able to grow just by gaining Ena. They don’t need any other materials since there’s no need to evolve.
‘If that’s the case…’ The Dragon King couldn’t help but glance at Fenrir and Anubis. ‘Are those two the same? They are also extraordinary, but I can’t draw the conclusion yet. If those two beasts are equal to this dragon, it means he is able to summon that kind of beast for his future familiars.
‘And the dragon’s original form is that overbearing dragon.’ The Dragon King suddenly realized how much he had underestimated Nathan’s potential. ‘Still, I’m not sure whether this is a blessing or a curse.
‘On the one hand, it’s true that he is surrounded by those amazing familiars. On the other hand, he needs a lot of Ena. Unlike us, who can focus on several familiars, he has to focus on all familiars.
‘This is just a similar comparison between a jack-of-all-trade and a master of one thing. The jack-of-all-trade can be quite powerful, but the one who has mastered one thing will be able to defeat him. The only way for him to turn the situation around is to become a master of everything instead of a master of none.’
The Dragon King squinted his eyes. This talent of Nathan was a double-edged sword. If Nathan wasn’t a capable person, he would definitely become mediocre in the future.
‘The boy has the wits necessary to rise, but I don’t know about his other talents. It seems that I should wait and see for the time being.’
While the Dragon King was thinking, Nathan approached Nidhogg while saying, “I am Nathan, the person who summons you to this world.”
*Burp!* Nidhogg noisily released the air from his stomach as if he were full after sucking all that Ena.
Nathan’s eyebrows twitched.
“Get back! I’m going to have a talk with him.” Fenrir came over and pushed Nathan back. After that, he glared at Nidhogg, who was lying on the ground while gnashing his teeth. “You lowly lizard.”
“Oh. Aren’t you the chained puppy?” With a smug smile on his face, he said, “I have heard a lot about you. Have you gotten out of your chain, stupid puppy?”
“Stupid puppy… Pfft!” Anubis was trying his best to contain his laugh.
Fenrir was fuming. He wanted to fight both of them right now, but Nathan suddenly stopped him. “Wait, Fenrir.”
“Don’t stop me. I’m going to beat this bastard!”
“No. There is something more important.” Nathan shook his head. His head turned to Nidhogg. “To summon you to this world, I have to ask him for the materials. In exchange, I have agreed to allow you to negotiate with him to give him your blood or not.”
“Hmm?” Nidhogg squinted his eyes. He glanced at the Dragon King and the draconian behind him.
Realizing the strength hidden inside the Dragon King’s body, Nidhogg stood up as if greeting him with proper respect.
“Heroic Human. You dare to ask this honored one’s blood?”
“What honored one?” Fenrir snorted.
The Dragon King nodded. “Indeed. After coming to this world, you must have gained some knowledge about the summoning. I would like to exchange your blood for something.”
Nidhogg squinted his eyes. “What can you offer?”
“I am one of the strongest humans in this world. If it’s something within my ability, I can exchange it for your blood.”
Nidhogg pondered for a moment and said, “Give me a pair of gloves for a human.”
“Hmm?” Nathan looked surprised, but that wasn’t the extent of Nidhogg’s request.
He added, “And a robe that can boost your power.”
Nathan knew what these two items represented. The first item was definitely for him, while the second one was for Selena. It seemed that Nidhogg felt bad for sucking all that Ena for himself.
“I understand.” The Dragon King nodded. “Your summoner will be training with me for the next ten days, so I’ll bring those two items within ten days.”
“Good.” Nidhogg nodded before turning to Nathan. His current dignified appearance made his first impression look like a joke. He said, “I am Nidhogg. I’ll be looking forward to seeing this world with you.”
“Yes. The feeling is mutual.” Nathan smiled. This was supposed to be a perfect greeting, but Nathan pointed to the side and said, “Well, I wasn’t the only one who got angry, you know. After all, you have sucked about 4 or 5 times the amount of Ena they currently have.”
Nidhogg turned to Fenrir with a smug smile. “Oh you pup—Mmf!”
Before he could say another word, two bandages circled around his mouth, shutting it up.
Those bandages startled even Fenrir.
When both of them looked at Anubis, they could see him fuming in anger. “4 or 5 times? This lizard deserves to die! Do it!”
Fenrir grinned. He gathered his Ena on his paw before slapping Nidhogg as hard as possible. “This is the most satisfying technique I learn in this world. You goddamn lizard!”
The impact produced a loud sound as Nidhogg was wailing, his body falling sideways. “Eooohh!”
