Before going back to the villa, Nathan returned to his room first.
This time, he summoned Fenrir, Anubis, and Nidhogg.
All of them had a serious expression, as they had to discuss one important thing.
Nathan clasped his hands while looking at all of them. “Gentlemen. We are currently in trouble. We are about to get about 15,000 Ena in the next seven days. And I don’t know what we should do with it. Should we summon the fourth familiar right away? With the fourth familiar, we can fight against the enemy in a much better position.
“Or should we give any of you a few thousand Ena so that you would reach the 10,000 Ena mark? If that’s the case, who will be the first recipient?”
Fenrir, Anubis, and Nidhogg widened their eyes. Hearing Ena was like hearing money. They thought they would get money from this.
Fenrir immediately said, “I should be the first one getting it. You have promised me I will be your priority.
“Besides, if I have 10,000 Ena, I can do a lot more. Do you know that a divine weapon is needed to break through my defense? My strength is also abnormal. I will be a good vanguard for you guys.”
“NO!” Anubis stepped up. “Nathan. You have promised them you would interrogate that person. That’s why you should give me the Ena first.
“This way, we have an assurance that I have enough power to interrogate that person. Besides, my power will increase. Although it’s only the courtroom, it’s still a domain ability. It is much more powerful than anyone can think of, not only for distraction but for offensive purposes.
“Besides, you have thought that 10,000 Ena might not be enough to unlock my domain ability, so you should prioritize me.
“If it’s not enough, you know you need another soul contract to unlock it. This way, you won’t have to panic when it requires you to get more Ena.”
“You don’t need it. I am the one who needs it.” Fenrir gritted his teeth.
Nidhogg suddenly opened his mouth. “Summoner. I think you should keep the Ena for yourself.
“At least for now, we don’t need you to distribute the Ena. After all, the only big thing we’re going to do will be in one and a half months.
“If we think about this, your quality is definitely going to increase with 50,000 Ena, which is 10,000 Ena for yourself and 40,000 to all four familiars.
“Because of the quality increase, you will get more Ena, for example, an additional 5,000 Ena instead of the 3,000 Ena because you are impatient and give the Ena to us first.
“In addition, you will have more Ena to make soul contracts in case of an emergency. This is a good opportunity for you.
“As for summoning your 4th familiar, it’s good since you’re able to come up with a new strategy. However, you have Serafina right now, which adds up the number. So, I don’t think it’s necessary for now.
“Meanwhile, I only have my chaos fire this time. If you give me 10,000 Ena, it means I’m able to unlock a new ability. I don’t know what it is, but it will make me stronger.
“However, these two options will lead back to the advantage you will get by accumulating that Ena in your body for a while.
“Hence, I suggest you keep the Ena for the time being. This way, you can give us the Ena or summon 4th familiar if the situation requires you to do so.”
When they heard Nidhogg’s explanation, Nathan looked shocked. Fenrir and Anubis dropped their jaws.
“You dirty beast!”
“Sly lizard!”
Both of them cursed him. They had a similar thought in their mind.
‘He is actually sucking him up so that he will be pleasing in Nathan’s eyes. This sucker.’ Fenrir gnashed his teeth.
‘At this stage, Nathan might give the Ena to him. No. Is this not a question? Nathan should know how he should use his Ena. Is this Nathan’s trap? He is trying to test us and choose someone who gives a different answer?’ Anubis felt goosebumps.
Nathan looked down, contemplating. Experience exclusive tales on
As a result, Fenrir and Anubis glared at Nidhogg, who was actually showing a sly grin.
Veins bulged on their heads as they thought, ‘He freaking knows it!’
On the other hand, Nathan had thought about those reasons before. The reason he was a bit skeptical about storing all the Ena to himself was because of the quality upgrade.
There was a chance that the quality didn’t increase even after getting all that Ena.
He might even need to have 100,000 Ena if he wanted to reach the next quality. The fact he didn’t know this made him confused.
In other words, Nidhogg’s theory could be easily dismissed.
Still, there was nothing wrong with testing it. If he gathered all that Ena, he would know how many Ena required to have that particular quality.
After contemplating, Nathan smiled wryly. “In that case, I will store the Ena in my body first. The mission will be quite hard because of the lack of Ena, but I hope you can bear with me for a bit.”
All three of them dropped their jaws to the ground. Even Nidhogg realized what he had done. Since Nathan wanted to store it, it meant he would be overworked by Nathan because the missions he wanted to pick were harder than anything he had picked so far.
Obviously, Fenrir and Anubis would experience the same thing.
As expected, the three beasts immediately came to him.
“How about giving it to me? I will definitely crush all your enemies.”
“I can heal you, detoxify, and do other things.”
“I will have a good ability if I have 10,000 Ena. The chaos fire is still too weak since it can still be overpowered by a huge amount of Ena like what happened in the fight against that snow woman. I really need a power-up.”
Nathan smiled. “No.”
