Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts - Chapter 1385

Capítulo 1385: Request

“So, you wish to become stronger?” Nathan asked for confirmation.

Bella was lying on his arm and nodded her head. “Mhmm.”

Nathan thought she wasn’t interested in getting stronger. After all, Bella had told her intention back on the ship.

Still, if she wished to become stronger, he wouldn’t mind helping her either. If her strength grew, it would benefit him as well, and there was no need to ask the reason.

However, Bella still wanted to make it clear. “After seeing other people’s progress as well as our enemies’ strength, I can’t help but realize how powerless I am.

“It’s true that I love doing my work. I am good at organizing documents and doing this and that, but there’s no rule that I can’t do both of them at the same time.

“I know that my talent won’t be enough to stand alongside you, but I know one thing for sure: I still want to stand as close as possible. Even if I can’t stand beside you, I don’t want to see you from behind. I want to be close enough to push you from behind.” Bella smiled. “I owe Evelyn a lot, this is the only way for me to repay her.”

Nathan closed his eyes for a moment. “I understand. I will help you.”

“Thank you!” Bella’s eyes brightened.

“As you probably have guessed, my soul contract can definitely help your familiars. For example, what I have done for Flora and the others is pretty simple.

“I’m using my Soul Contract to force an evolution for your familiars. This way, their overall talent and strength will increase.”

“Ah! So, that’s how Flora’s spirits turned into great spirits… It’s no wonder her strength is progressing by leaps and bounds.” Bella covered her mouth in surprise.

“Well, that is Flora’s case. The others are rather different.”

“Different? How so?”

“You know my familiars are divine beasts, right?”

“I know.” Bella nodded.

“By using their knowledge, I let Selena and the others summon divine beings from their world.”

“Wait! So, their familiars…”

Nathan confirmed, “Indeed. Selena has Amphitrite, the goddess of the sea, and Lilith, a vampire progenitor. Yin Zhen is not that weak either. Sera has Brunhild, a valkyrie under a supreme god, Asmodeus, one of the seven deadly sins, Raphael, an archangel, and Janus, the god of duality.

“Alavenya has Xing Tian, a headless warrior who fights alongside emperors who are known to be as strong as gods.

“Noelle is rather special because she wants a familiar related to swordsmanship. As for Flora, she also wishes to retain her path as a spirit summoner, so my solution is to strengthen them.”

“I see.” Bella understood everything. This was the source of their power. Selena and the others were definitely talented, but they weren’t supposed to be that talented.

It looked like Nathan had helped them reach that point. Without him, they would probably be just at the level of Evelyn at most. Even after graduation, they could at most kill a warrior class alien.

Bella looked down, saying, “Your innate ability is so powerful and versatile. I just realized that. However, are you able to do that any time you want?”

“That’s…”

“I want an honest answer!”

Nathan looked away for a few seconds before nodding his head. “I can probably do it anytime I want.”

“But that hesitation… You definitely pay a price, don’t you?” Bella started to hesitate about asking for Nathan’s help.

“Yes. However, it isn’t something that needs to be worried about, I believe. Currently, I don’t have any idea of the price I have to pay as well.

“There are several guesses, but for the time being, I still haven’t felt any impact.”

“Can you explain it to me? Even though I wish you could help me, if you have to bear that price, I don’t really want to do it. It’s not like there is only one path I can take.”

Nathan knew that Bella didn’t want to bear the burden of sacrificing her loved one for her own strength. That guilt would end up killing her.

“I think it’s better to let someone tell you about this. Mae is also a divine beast that focuses on illusion and divination. Her insight is better than mine, especially in your case.”

“Mae… Let me put on some clothes first!” Bella was embarrassed and rushed to grab her clothes, thinking they were still good enough for the time being.

Nathan smiled wryly and put on his clothes as well. Once they dressed up, he summoned Mae.

“This is Tamamo-no-Mae. A celestial fox.” Nathan introduced Mae properly this time. He turned to Mae. “She is thinking about getting stronger. So, I wonder if you can help. Her ability focuses on illusion. Maybe a suggestion for a new familiar? I am also thinking about upgrading her familiars through the soul contract.”

“Soul contract?” Mae frowned. “Master. Have you explained it to her?”

“A bit, yes.”

“I believe you should explain it to her first, especially the process.” Mae also thought that it was better to explain the risk rather than letting the guilt creep into her heart later.

Nathan scratched the back of his head. Ultimately, Nathan formed a contract on his hand as words emerged on the paper.

Even though she had known about Nathan’s innate ability, she’d never witnessed this power with her own eyes. This was the power that saved her childhood friend’s life.

“This is the soul contract. As you can see, this is a contract between me and the world. I will alter the information that this world possesses, which allows me to forcefully evolve your familiar.

“There are two things that are required for this process. The first one is an item that is used for evolution. I will use it as a catalyst and ease my burden.

“The second one is my own blood. My blood contains a huge amount of karma. This karma can even entice divine beings, so I will use it as a sacrifice to alt—!”

Nathan abruptly stopped when he noticed something amiss. Even Mae suddenly lifted up her vision as she witnessed what she had never seen before.

Nathan’s karma… flickered.
