Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

Chapter 46  Nathan's Second Familiar

Unlike Rudeus, who created turbulence, or August, who had a tranquil summoning, Nathan actually caused a temperature drop.

The stick and banana floated into the air, with the banana specifically moving to the tip of the staff and expanding.

Nathan widened his eyes in shock. 'Wait, wait, wait. Why is the banana expanding? It's not supposed to be about the shape. Do I have to bring a monkey instead? A banana should be enough, but why is it expanding as if it's…'

Nathan suddenly gulped down when he took another look at the shape the light formed.

It was like a slap directly on his face from the great sage himself.

'Sun Wukong has a rebellious nature, unyielding spirit, and refusal to submit to authority…' Nathan gasped.

He might have miscalculated one thing. Even if he could summon Sun Wukong, Sun Wukong had to agree to respond to his call.

In other words, Sun Wukong still had the option to refuse, which in fact aligned with his nature, as described in his legend.

Yes, Nathan had miscalculated how accurate the legend could be in the summoning.

'Is it because there is someone who has summoned Sun Wukong in this world?' Nathan muttered inwardly. He didn't want to believe that he failed to get his biggest idol, Sun Wukong, but it was because of his personality that he idolized him.

There were mixed feelings. On the one hand, he was disappointed that he couldn't get Sun Wukong. On the other hand, he couldn't find fault in him.

Instead of Ruyi Jingu Bang, the banana was stretched to the limit, forming a long shaft sitting on top of the tip of the staff.

From the tips of the shaft dropped a small circle. It was hard to see, but there were thin lines connecting the tips, which made Nathan sure what item was reflected before him.

'No way. This is a scale? No. Is this the scale that weighs your heart?' Nathan didn't know whether he should laugh or cry.

The scale gradually fell to the ground and changed its shape once again, confirming the identity of the one he summoned.

'Ankh…' Nathan closed his eyes, knowing the identity of the familiar he summoned. There was nothing he could do that would change the outcome.

Last but not least, the ankh formed a dog-shaped figure.

"It seems that you have summoned me," said the light as it disappeared, revealing the true appearance of the beasts. It wasn't a dog. It was a black jackal.

The jackal was slightly smaller than Fenrir's current form, but it actually sent off a dreadful feeling.

Looking at his eyes made the students feel like their souls were being sucked away.

August and Rudeus were leaning forward in disbelief. Compared to them, Nathan's summoning actually produced a much more impactful phenomenon. In addition, it confirmed Nathan's uniqueness. Nathan could only summon beasts, not humanoid creatures.

And with such a phenomenon, they knew that this second beast was also extraordinary. Provoking him without learning about the second familiar would be suicide.

"Yes. I'm the one who summons you." Nathan stepped forward, while looking at the black jackal's status.

Name: Anubis

Level: 35

Race: Jackal

Quality: Basic (High)

It seemed that he had summoned him not at level one due to the amount of Ena. It also confirmed that their power would be unlocked, depending on how much Ena Nathan sacrificed.

'Anubis is the god of death. He is supposed to be a man with a jackal head, but he is also often represented as a man with the full body of a black jackal.

'I thought that Sun Wukong would be a perfect target, not only is he my idol, but he is often depicted as a monkey. Then again, there is another verse that says Anubis is a human with a jackal head. Since he comes in a complete beast form… I guess a monkey is still humanoid enough.

'However, I have to think about their characteristics as well. Sun Wukong has rebelled against the emperor of heaven, so he wouldn't receive my call. And even if I summon him, I might not be able to control him.

'Anubis is different. He oversaw mummification, weighed souls, guided the dead into the afterlife, defended against chaos, and punished those who violated the tombs. This world might be interesting for him, since he could see a different life cycle with his own eyes.

Anubis walked toward Nathan and said, "There are probably a lot of things we need to discuss, but I'll take care of you."

Nathan smiled. "Thank you." Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Anubis could return by himself, unlike Fenrir. Then again, Fenrir told him that he received a portion of knowledge when coming to this new world. Anubis must have gotten the knowledge about summoning, as Nathan had more knowledge compared to when he first came to this world.

Little did they know, Alisha was observing the entire ritual with her own eyes. She couldn't help but gasp, thinking, 'Young Master really summoned another beast, and it didn't seem to be an ordinary beast.

'The mistress is right. Young Master is just unique. I have to report this to the mistress right away so that the young master won't be snatched by anyone.

'Still, his second familiar… why did it give off the feeling of the south?' Alisha shook her head. She could ask it later after reporting about the second familiar.

Nathan, on the other hand, returned to his seat under the shocked gazes. He acted as if he hadn't done something special before noticing that Fenrir hadn't been recalled.

Nathan tried to disconnect the link between them before he got punished, but before Fenrir was gone, the latter came to a realization.

'Ah! That familiar feeling… It gave the same feeling from Helheim. Don't tell me. Someone actually mixed an item contaminated with death?' he thought before disappearing.

…

Blacksmith Guild.

An elder dwarf was hammering a new weapon as another dwarf entered his workshop. "Oi! The Forest Queen expressed her satisfaction with that staff."

"Is that so? Well, she saved me in the past, so with this, the debt has been repaid. I have even used my precious material from the land of death in the south." The elder dwarf smiled proudly.
