“Haa… Ha…” Flora panted heavily, staring at the mutant before her. There were a lot of cut wounds on her body, while the mutant finally fell down to the ground, unable to move anymore. Half of his head had been destroyed from the lightning attack.
But Flora released one more lightning strike to completely destroy its head, ensuring the death of the mutant.
“Finally…” Flora fell to her knees. “This is hard. If not for Nathan’s new familiar, I might not be able to defeat the mutant.”
Flora tried to thank Jinwu, but when she raised her head, Jinwu was nowhere to be seen. “Where is that guy?”
Jinwu, on the other hand, let out a small cry to alert Nathan.
“!!!” Nathan was startled, but fortunately, he was just monitoring the situation instead of doing anything else. As a result, Jinwu perched on his shoulder.
“Jinwu. Can I call you that?” Nathan asked, taking the initiative in their first conversation. He wanted to see Jinwu’s stance about the summoning as well.
“Yes.” Jinwu’s voice sounded like a teenager instead of a mature guy like his other familiars.
“Alright. Sorry for summoning you out of nowhere. Is anything bothering you? Maybe you’ve lost something during the summoning or something?” Nathan asked.
“No.” Jinwu shook his head. His eyes soon shifted to Fenrir and the others. “It doesn’t seem that others are aware of the magnitude of what you have.”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m talking about your blood.”
“My blood?” Nathan raised his eyebrows. “I know that my blood is special…”
“But you don’t know how special it is, right?”
Nathan thought for a moment before confirming it.
“The reason I don’t have any defects is because of your blood. The nourishment from your blood is much higher than that dragon over there.”
The statement made Nathan fall silent for a while. “Seriously?”
“Yes.”
Nathan never knew his blood was this special. Jinwu was basically saying that his blood was actually superior to Nidhogg, who was a divine beast.
“But if I’m not wrong, my blood should be special because the original body has a high amount of Ena while my soul comes from Earth. Still, how can I be compared to a divine beast?”
“I’m not sure myself, but I notice a divinity in your blood.”
“!!!” Nathan widened his eyes in shock. “Are you… serious?”
“Yes. Although it’s faint, I notice it.”
“But doesn’t that mean I’m like a divine being? But I’m a human. Even the status I get defines me as a human.”
“I only feel that trace. As for the explanation of what is currently happening, you might have to figure it out in the future.” Jinwu shook his head.
“I see…” Nathan looked down, falling into deep thought. First, he found out that he was actually a familiar, speculating that he was the familiar of the original body’s owner that somehow took over the owner by using the Soul Contract.
Then, the mystery of his body changed when Vivian informed him that the original body’s owner had a tremendous amount of Ena that somehow mysteriously disappeared. He didn’t even get that Ena to summon Fenrir.
After summoning Jinwu, he learned there was actually a trace of divinity in his blood. It must either come from the original body’s blood instead of his soul. After all, he was a normal person on Earth.
However, Nathan couldn’t help but think of one more possibility. ‘Is this going to be similar to the reincarnated in another world story I have seen in the past? Like getting reincarnated by a god or a goddess? That’s what gives me divinity? But I haven’t experienced any of those… Or maybe I have locked that memory through Soul Contract?
‘Argh. This is getting complicated. There’s no proof that the answer I reached is correct. And it’s impossible to completely figure out this matter.
‘But if Jinwu is telling the truth, this is the only explanation why Risa is able to evolve so quickly after taking my blood. If I offer my blood, it shouldn’t be hard for Selena to summon Lilith.
‘As for the truth about my body, I will take my time to learn it. It’s not that urgent anyway.’ Nathan sighed.
“Thank you for telling me this information, Jinwu. You must be exhausted. You can conserve your energy for the time being. I might need you to fight more mature class aliens.”
“It’s fine. I will be staying on your shoulders for the time being, making sure you’re well protected. Unlike those guys, I am the smallest.”
“Now that I think about it, your body has shrunk to the size of a normal crow. Other than the fact you have three legs, I can’t differentiate you from any other crows.” ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
“That’s my battle form. That body allows me to utilize the power of the sun to a certain extent. This is my relaxed form, which allows me to recover my Ena at a similar pace as getting recalled into that space.”
“I see.” Nathan nodded in understanding. “Still, I will bring Anubis to heal your physical wounds. Everyone has worked hard, so I just need to make sure the rest. Thank you for your hard work.”
“You too. You need to take a rest. Your head is releasing some heat.”
“Hahaha. I will.” Nathan chuckled.
It didn’t take too long for Fenrir, Anubis, and Nidhogg to regroup with him. Although it wasn’t that far, they had confirmed that there was no sight of mature class aliens. The lower level aliens had also been wiped out, so there was no risk of sudden reinforcement in the next half an hour.
Nidhogg was recalled back while Fenrir returned to his smaller size and accompanied Nathan with Anubis.
Of course, Anubis immediately healed both Fenrir and Jinwu, since their wounds were quite severe.
With the people from the Blacksmith Guild taking over the scouting, Nathan headed back to Flora, who was struggling to walk.
Anubis immediately healed her, while Flora was staring at him for a few seconds, as though she were thinking about something.
All of a sudden, she dropped a bomb. “Nathan. Protecting the princess of the kingdom is a huge achievement, especially in this situation. How about becoming a baron?”
