“We’ll reinforce this area.” Nathan explained to the two summoners and the rest of the fighters before Sera’s voice echoed from the distance.
“Nathan. I’m done with the summoning circle.”
“You should go. I’ll handle the rest. The success of this defensive battle relies on you.” Flora nodded. “The people have come back, so once you’re done with the summoning, we can fight them.”
“Alright!” Nathan dashed to Sera and checked the summoning circle. “Everything is good. I can proceed to the summoning.”
“Yes.” Sera glanced to the side. Anubis came to him, bringing the mulberry tree into the circle. “Everyone has been healed. This is the tree. Do you need anything else?”
“No.” Nathan summoned Nidhogg. “I need your blood.”
“Take as much as you need.” Nidhogg understood their circumstances. If he was stingy, there was a chance the summoning would go wrong, so he just gave whatever Nathan wanted so that all of them could survive.
Nathan nodded. Before stepping into the summoning circle, he couldn’t help but think about one thing. ‘Is this summoning ritual fated? Has someone jinxed it? There’s only one way to find out. If the thing I need the most to summon this familiar appears, fate is truly ridiculous.’
Nathan stepped into the summoning circle. Nidhogg cut his palm and let his blood drop before moving away.
Nathan thanked Nidhogg and cut his wrist because he might need a lot of blood for this.
‘I don’t know if it’s going to work or not, but if my blood is special, it’ll work.’
Nathan looked down at the summoning circle as he began to unleash his Ena.
Instead of starting with the chant right away, Nathan actually began with something else.
While closing his eyes, Nathan muttered, “In the legend, there were originally ten suns, each represented by a golden crow. These suns took turns crossing the sky on chariots driven by the solar goddess, Xihe.
“One day, all ten suns rose at the same time, scorching the earth. The mighty archer Hou Yi shot down nine of the suns with his bow to save humanity, leaving only one sun to illuminate the world.
“You, who are the sole survivor, now represent the sun. Your legs represent the three phases of the day: morning, noon, and evening.”
Flora couldn’t help but furrow her eyebrows. They didn’t have a lot of time, so why did Nathan not start it already?
Still, the legend of what he was trying to summon sounded scary. She never thought Nathan was actually planning to summon the sun itself.
Flora couldn’t help but wonder what kind of being would come out of that summoning circle.
All of a sudden, another tremor shook the mountain.
Her earth spirit fell down to the ground as if it were unable to endure the power.
*Crack!*
All of them could hear that loud cracking sound and raised their heads.
Flora panicked because she saw the elephant and the humanoid aliens. They actually used all their strength to destroy the top of the mountain.
That was right. They crushed the top, causing all that rock to fall down. Even though they were pretty high on the mountain, that amount of rock would definitely crush them.
The wind spirit appeared next to Flora as it generated the wind to push away the rocks.
“Kh.” Flora gritted her teeth. If the mature class aliens attacked again, even she would have a hard time with so many people she had to protect. “Nathan. We don’t have time!”
Nathan actually smiled when the roof collapsed.
The sunlight illuminated the cave. More importantly, it felt like all that sunlight was concentrated on the summoning circle, as if the latter were absorbing the sunlight itself.
“It seems fate itself wants you to come out.” Nathan’s expression turned solemn. “O’ Miracle of the World, Divine Being of Summoning, please use my body as the beacon and grant the beloved being your passage. By my name, Nathan, heed my call and come forth to this world, the great being of another world.”
In that instant, all the items fused into one and formed a sphere.
“Watch out!” Flora shouted, seeing the humanoid alien reaching for Nathan.
Before Flora could protect her, the sphere suddenly shot up into the sky.
Flora was confused, Sera examined the sphere, and the aliens didn’t know what was going on.
All of them looked at the sphere in the sky. Stay tuned for updates on
“Reveal yourself to this world,” muttered Nathan.
Suddenly, the sphere expanded to be bigger than the elephant’s body.
It unleashed a heat that no aliens could expect.
In the past, Nidhogg was able to release that dragon roar, but this time, the familiar had at least four times of the Ena Nidhogg took at that time.
The sphere was burning and released heat so hot that it burned everything in the surrounding area. The aliens covered their bodies with everything they had, whether it was their tentacles or their arms.
However, the heat was burning them, forcing them to retreat.
The lower-level aliens scattered around the mountain got hit by the heat and started burning. If not for the fact they were much farther than the two mature class aliens, they might end up evaporating.
The trees on top of the mountain flared up and soon were reduced to ashes.
Everyone couldn’t help but drop their jaws to the ground. Most people covered their eyes because they couldn’t see such a bright light.
Sera and Flora managed to look at it a bit, but they became even more shocked.
The sphere felt like the sun had descended on top of this mountain.
Within that sphere, they could see the shadow of a crow with three legs.
The sphere gradually formed its flesh and body before a golden crow shot up into the sky and flapped its wings, scattering the intense heat from the sphere.
Dozens of aliens instantly died due to the heat. The mountain was on fire.
The golden crow was flying in front of the sun. While spreading its wings, it released a loud cry as if proclaiming itself as the ruler.
