As if she had been waiting for him, Selena immediately rushed toward Nathan after he killed the mutant.
“Nathan!” She called his name out loud.
Nathan smiled. “Sorry for making you wait.”
“Waiting? The only reason I’m able to finish that mutant first is because you only have two familiars fighting by your side. You don’t even ask for your strongest familiar.” Selena shook her head.
Both Anubis and Fenrir immediately shouted, “He is not the strongest!”
Selena was startled. No matter which familiar Nathan had, they always fought for the position of the strongest. There was no way their pride would allow someone other than them to be the strongest.
Selena hurriedly changed her words. “Currently stronger.”
Anubis and Fenrir looked annoyed, but they harrumphed and threw their faces to the side.
Nathan chuckled. “The technique you’re working on. It’s pretty good, you know. Are you planning to create an avatar or something?”
“Yes.” Selena nodded. “There are various reasons, but I believe this is the most suitable fighting style for me. This is the only way I can utilize the large amount of Ena in my body. It’s just… it’s not stable and sturdy. I don’t know what I should do.”
“An Avatar, huh?” Nathan raised his head, contemplating. ‘There are several series which bring out the concept of avatar. But from what I have seen so far, I think there is one that has a similar vibe as her power.’
Nathan asked, “Can you concentrate a massive Ena and compress it to a smaller size to form an object? Something like the shield, but even sturdier.”
Selena simulated what Nathan wanted in her mind before nodding her head. “I think I can. Why?”
“If that’s the case, why don’t you make an avatar that has a foundation?”
“A foundation?”
“Yes. Your avatar looks humanoid, so what can be the foundation of humans? The ones that support their entire body? They are strong and sturdy but not completely fill up your body.”
“!!!” There was only one thing that matched Nathan’s description. “Are you talking about bones?”
“Exactly. You are containing that massive amount of Ena, right? What if you form a skeleton within that aura? It can serve as a pseudo physical body for your avatar. This will make your avatar much sturdier.
“However, doing this will increase the difficulty of maintaining your avatar.” Nathan explained.
“But it will definitely improve my avatar. No. If I think about it, the skeleton is just the foundation. I can even do something more, such as equipping it with armor or something. But this is just for the future since my ability hasn’t reached that level yet. As for the skeleton, I don’t know if it’s possible before the event, but at least it’s doable,” Selena muttered.
Nathan smiled inwardly, thinking, ‘That’s right. You just have to do it. Create that freaking ability. Now that I think about Susanoo… not the ability, but the god one, the younger brother of Sun Goddess Amaterasu… What about delving into Japanese Mythology?
‘There are some cool divine beasts like Yamata no Orochi. No, wait. How about I summon a nine-tailed fox? Maybe it’s more accurate to call it Kitsune.
‘Kitsune can have up to nine tails, but because of my unique summoning ability, I will definitely summon a nine-tailed Kitsune. However, because of the limitation of my power, those tails might be sealed.
‘But Kitsune is known for its shapeshifting ability, right? More often than not, they disguise themselves as a beautiful young woman.
‘Still, this is a problem. If I summon Yamata no Orochi, he will be good at a swamp or river. Meanwhile, Kitsune is more of a deception battle. Even though my lower brain wants to summon Kitsune, I can’t do it unless the circumstances force me. Ugh.’
Nathan faced a dilemma.
Meanwhile Selena seemed to have formed the concept in her mind. This should be enough to terrify the principal, she thought.
“Thank you, Nathan.” Selena’s expression brightened.
“Ah.” Nathan snapped back to reality. “Not at all. This is our agreement after all. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me about it.”
“En.” She nodded furiously.
While they were talking, Sullivan’s voice echoed in their ears. “Good work, you two.”
“Sir?” Nathan and Selena were startled.
“Why don’t you join the soldiers?”
Nathan shook his head. “Before that, there’s something I’d like to ask.” frёewebnoѵēl.com
“Hoh?” The commander’s expression turned serious. “What is it?”
Nathan pointed at the corpses of the aliens the soldiers had slaughtered. “You are giving the bonus to us, right? Those aliens can be used to reward the soldiers, but we’re responsible for this victory, so don’t you think it’s only appropriate to include it as a bonus?”
The old general didn’t expect that Nathan would be bold enough to claim it. However, he couldn’t deny the strategy Nathan gave was the main reason for their victory.
Still, 50% of them were already several hundred cores. And Nathan would definitely include the two mutants, which would increase that number even more.
“You are truly not holding back, aren’t you?”
“Merit is merit.” Nathan shook his head. “If you are not going to reward us for those, then no one will do it again. After all, they won’t get anything.”
The commander clicked his tongue. The commander raised his head, looking at the soldiers. “You won’t ask for the bonus for those, right?”
He was talking about the aliens that would die after all this.
Nathan shook his head. “It’s true the plan contributes to them, but it’s not direct enough for me to claim them.”
Sullivan thought for a moment before saying, “Alright. I can give you the bonus for it, but you just have to answer one question from me.”
“Alright.” Nathan nodded with a smile. It was just a question, it wouldn’t hurt him.
Sullivan came closer and whispered his question. “Where do you learn military tactics? It’s not something that a commoner can learn easily.”
“!!!” Nathan’s heart skipped a beat as his back was drenched in cold sweat.
Once again, what happened to him after scamming the Dragon King repeated itself.
Both Anubis and Fenrir exchanged looks as they thought the same thing. ‘He doesn’t learn, doesn’t he?’
