All of them summoned their familiars. Nathan couldn’t help but recognize the third familiar from both of them. And he was actually jealous—jealous of Rudeus.
His third familiar was actually a woman. She was a beautiful woman with pale skin, long black hair, and white robes.
She was floating right above the ground as the soil underneath her was soon covered with snow.
“That’s…” Nathan gasped.
“Hahaha. Even your dragon won’t be able to burn this place. I have refrained myself from summoning her, but your dragon can’t do anything against my snow demon!”
Veins bulged on Nathan’s face. Even though he called it a snow demon, there was a more fitting name for her.
‘Isn’t that a yuki-onna? I don’t know if I pronounce it right, but that’s the snow woman in the Japanese Mythology. Does she not call herself as such? Her power is snow and freezing temperature, according to her myth.’ Nathan was shaken by the appearance of this demon, not because of her power, but the fact that Rudeus was able to summon a beautiful demon.
‘You motherfucker. I’m going to beat you so hard today,’ thought Nathan.
As much as Selena wanted to hit Nathan so that he could focus on the competition, she was observing August’s third familiar. He actually summoned a golem. The golem looked humanoid enough, even though its body didn’t contain any flesh. However, Selena had to be careful because this golem rivaled the cyclops in size.
“Go!” Rudeus was the first one making the first move. The snow demon flew forward as Nidhogg did the same.
Nidhogg released his fire breath while the woman waved her hand, creating a snow tornado. The fire was melting the snow, but the latter also froze the fire. Both of them ended up neutralizing each other.
Nathan and Fenrir moved together while Anubis remained on the back.
“Raaaa!” The minotaur let out a cry as it approached them from the side.
Without hesitation, Fenrir pounced on the minotaur. The minotaur stopped him with the handle of his hammer. They were equal at first, but the minotaur started pushing Fenrir back. With a smirk, the minotaur unleashed every bit of his strength to slam Fenrir to the ground.
At the same time, Fenrir used the Gigantification, increasing his weight and body size. As a result, the minotaur started losing his upper hand, ultimately reaching a stalemate.
Nathan had summoned his bullets, wanting to shoot the minotaur. All of a sudden, his body was covered in a shadow as a huge club fell down on top of him.
Bam!
The club crushed everything underneath it, creating a small crater.
But when the cyclops raised its club, it couldn’t find Nathan anywhere.
“!!!” The cyclops widened its eyes and noticed the presence coming from the right side. It was Nathan, trying to punch the cyclops with the Dragon Fist.
The violent energy turned into a dragon, but the cyclops tilted its body backward and put his hand in front.
Unable to change his trajectory, Nathan punched the cyclops’ giant palm. The energy burst, but the cyclops actually remained the same. It was as if his dragon fist wasn’t enough to even push this giant hand back.
Once the attack failed, the cyclops tried to catch him.
Anubis sent forth his bandage and pulled him out of there.
However, a stone pillar emerged from the ground and stopped the bandage as a giant golem formed next to Nathan, trying to crush him with a giant fist.
Fortunately, Yin Zhen came in the fist’s way.
“Tiger Echo Kick!” Yin Zhen hit the golem’s fist with his full strength, producing a ripple that echoed within the golem’s arm.
The kick was enough to knock the golem’s arm back, and it soon shattered into pieces.
Since Yin Zhen had come to rescue, Anubis retracted his bandage. The gnome had summoned numerous spikes toward Nathan, but Risa landed next to him and released her blood tornadoes, destroying all the spikes.
“!!!” August widened his eyes, noticing that the blood tornadoes were much stronger compared to what she had used before.
He and his dwarf immediately came forward as they struck one blood tornado each, splitting it into two to save the gnome.
However, that was when Selena swept in.
Boom!
The extraordinary sweeping force hit all three of them.
The dust kicked in, so August had to close his eyes to avoid them entering his eyes. This would be a good chance to strike him again, but the dust cloud was actually split into two all of a sudden.
“!!!” Selena raised her eyebrows, finding Rudeus standing in his original position as if the sweeping force didn’t affect him.
“Roooaa!” The minotaur let out a cry as his strength increased drastically, overwhelming Fenrir. Fenrir twisted his body to the side so that the minotaur couldn’t pin him down on the ground, but the minotaur used this to punch his side, blowing him away.
At the same time, Nidhogg had fallen to the ground, his right wing covered in thin ice.
“Tsk!” Nidhogg gritted his teeth, glaring at the snow woman. “You’re dead.”
Purple fireballs appeared all around him, melting the ice stuck on his body. For one reason or another, her ability increased drastically, overwhelming him for a second.
And that was not just her or the minotaur. Even the golem suddenly punched Yin Zhen, causing his body to bounce several times on the ground before stopping.
“!!!” Nathan saw what happened to all of them and immediately leaped away as the cyclops almost crushed him. His speed was much higher than before.
“This is…” Nathan looked around, thinking, ‘Aside from the gnome and the dwarf, everyone’s strength increases drastically. This is an all-out brawl, so if there’s one taken down…
‘I need to find the culprit. But there is not a single person…’ Nathan paused. There was one person who hadn’t made his move the whole time. Now that he thought about it, Rudeus didn’t choose the Magic Department or Combat Department, even though he had an enormous amount of Ena.
Nathan couldn’t help but turn to Rudeus. ‘He is from the Command Department.’
