A few weeks ago.
“Since we’re talking about Lilith, it’s better to suggest lilitu. However, there are several vampires in mythologies. My favorite is definitely a jiangshi, because whenever I read novels or comics, they will always show a badass, powerful, and sexy jiangshi.”
“I bet your aim is that last one. What next? You want a female corpse, or maybe female clothes, for the sacrifice?” Fenrir gnashed his teeth.
“How do you know?” Nathan looked surprised, as if he were innocent.
“Tsk.”
Nathan shrugged. “Anyway, just suggest lilitu. That should be fine. If there is another opportunity, it’s probably good to test the jiangshi.”
And that was what Fenrir did.
…
“Jiangshi?!” Selena and the Dragon King widened their eyes, never hearing about this species.
“Indeed. They are pretty strong because they are controlled by ancient talismans. With your current level, you should be able to summon a high level jiangshi.”
Sasha was strong and unique, so the thing that Fenrir suggested should be suitable for her current situation as well.
“What do I need then?”
“If you want a jiangshi, it’ll be better to have female clothes that have been tainted by a death aura. If I’m not wrong, there is a land in this world with such a thing. Or maybe you can find a talisman… I don’t know if you are familiar with it in this world, but you can probably get the best yellow rice paper, which is believed to have protective properties against evil spirits.”
Selena turned to the Dragon King, wondering if it was possible or not.
The Dragon King thought for a moment. “It’s possible to get one. No, I can sponsor you as well. However, it requires a bit of time if I want something from the land of death. It’ll only come in a few weeks, I think. You can summon it wherever you want, but in exchange, visit me with that jiangshi again in the future.
I’m also curious about this jiangshi.”
Selena glanced at Nathan since he was Fenrir’s summoner. Nathan nodded his head. It wouldn’t be so bad to meet the Dragon King. He could show his training progress as well and probably receive a bit more guidance.
“Alright.” Selena agreed.
“Good. You must be tired. For today, you should go back to the city and get a good rest. Come back here tomorrow morning. You seem to be talented in Ena manipulation, so you can also watch the training. Who knows, you might learn a thing or two.”
“Thank you very much.” Nathan and Selena politely nodded their heads.
While watching them leave, the Dragon King couldn’t help but mutter, “They are indeed interesting, especially that Nathan. The species we have summoned in this world come from the information we get from our familiars. A familiar that has the knowledge of other species is extremely important.
“Even if my daughter doesn’t know him, she won’t realize she is being played completely. I guess in the near future, there will be a lot of conflicts with that man as the center.” The Dragon King grinned. “I guess I’m looking forward to it.”
…
Meanwhile, they were walking for a bit before they flew away.
Risa looked at Nathan and Selena walking on the front with complicated emotions.
Fenrir asked, “It seems that you have become stronger after drinking his blood. Is there something different?”
“I don’t know. I’ve been thinking about it this whole time. When I first try to carry him in the sky, there is a weird feeling that makes me attracted to him or more like his blood. The taste is nothing different, but it somehow clicks with my body. I can’t describe my feelings at that time…”
“So that means he can help you become even stronger?”
“Ehm, yes. But I don’t really have anything. Even if I want to become stronger, I don’t think I have anything to offer since I’m just familiar in this world.” Risa smiled wryly.
Even Selena said she wanted another vampire.
It wasn’t that weird for the first familiar to have the lowest potential, so she thought it would be fine to end up as a maid or something. She could still get stronger bit by bit and might receive something that would let her evolve in the future.
For her, the lifespan of a human was nothing, so she just wanted to stay here and get as strong as possible and leave.
However, Nathan’s existence simply ruined her entire plan.
Fenrir thought for a moment and said, “He is a perfect summoner, except for one thing. You can probably take advantage of that glaring weakness. Well, I don’t really know how far you’re planning to go, but he is a simple man. You offer those bags of meat, he will probably offer you his blood. It’s probably only for now. If there are more and more women by his side, you might not get anything.”
“!!!” Risa widened her eyes. She had never thought of this possibility. No matter what she did in this world, it wasn’t like she would have a child since they came from different species.
No one really would know anything about what she had done here when she returned to her world after Selena passed away from old age.
During that time, she could get as strong as she could and just claim she had gotten a good summoner that gave her a lot of resources.
“You are innocent until proven guilty,” Fenrir added. His meaning was simple. If the people in her world didn’t know, it didn’t really matter.
“…” Risa’s expression turned solemn. She had been relying on Nathan a lot, and her summoner would most likely be with Nathan for a long time. It wouldn’t be weird for her to ‘pay’ the price while getting some benefits.
Risa took a deep breath as she steeled her resolve. She suddenly called, “Mr. Nathan.”
“Huh?!” Nathan and Selena stopped. Nathan still felt weird that Risa addressed him so politely. “What’s wrong?”
Risa grabbed Nathan’s hand with both hands as she explained, “I want to propose a deal.”
“A deal?” Nathan furrowed his eyebrows before noticing a grin on Fenrir’s face.
“Yes. Please let me suck your blood again. I’m prepared to pay a price.” Risa looked down. “I know that you have been secretly taking a glance at my breasts from time to time.”
“!!!” Nathan’s body froze as Selena was staring at him as if he were guilty.
Risa simply said, “I’ll let you do whatever you want with them, but please give me your blood. This way, I can get stronger without burdening my summoner.”
“What? Whatever I want?” Nathan gasped, his fingers twitched as if he had a hard time resisting the temptation. He coughed to regain his composure, trying to play it cool.
However, before he could even speak a single word, Selena suddenly grabbed Nathan’s other hand and dragged him away.
“Wait. Selena. What are you doing?” Nathan tried to balance his body as Selena kept pulling him to another space, leaving them behind.
If only he had more balance, he would have turned around and given Fenrir a thumbs up, telling him, ‘You are my brother.’
Fenrir grinned as if he had done his parts.
Anubis dropped his jaw to the ground as if he couldn’t believe Fenrir would do such a thing.
