Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

Chapter 144: Nathan's Hidden Plan

*Bam!*

The giant let out a wail as his back fell to the ground. Still, Nidhogg was in the sky, so the giant hurriedly got back on his feet. He hadn't landed even a single hit on Nidhogg this whole time, making him both embarrassed and desperate.

Meanwhile, the same couldn't be said to others.

Fenrir and the orc had a similar situation. The orc's left hand was already gone, while Fenrir's body had been covered in injuries.

The angel and the fallen angel were also having a hard time against their respective opponents, especially since they usually fought against their opponents with Sera's help.

However, the situation would soon change, as the key to that change was none other than Nathan.

The bandit leader ran forth, testing a new strategy.

Nathan shot him, but the bandit leader jumped to the side, skillfully avoiding it. Nathan shifted his aim and released another two bullets, forcing the bandit leader to hide behind a building.

When Nathan was about to shoot him through the building, the bandit leader suddenly smashed the building with his axe, causing the dust to fly into the air.

He thought this was another smoke screen, so he was prepared to blast him again, but he was wrong.

The bandit leader actually hit the rubble toward him.

"!!!" Nathan was startled. He instinctively formed a barrier and covered his body with Ena, but he was too late.

The barrier didn't form large enough to cover his upper body, resulting in the rubble hitting his stomach.

"Gah!" Nathan felt like his organ was being smashed. He coughed some blood.

If not for his Ena, that would have been fatal. Fortunately, Anubis paid attention and healed him right away.

After seeing how effective it was, the bandit leader immediately hit another rubble. Fortunately, the barrier had fully formed and stopped the second rubble.

As if he didn't care, he kept hitting the rubbles in rapid succession, taking advantage of the dust cloud to attack Nathan without showing himself.

After regaining his composure from that injury, Nathan immediately shot the enemy through the cloud. He didn't know whether he missed it or not, but he just had to fire multiple times until the bandit stopped launching those rocks.

Nathan held his stomach like it was still painful and started moving back.

"Are you alright?" Sera looked worried, but Nathan had waved his hand and raised his voice. "No need. I'm alright!"

When Nathan looked like he was retreating, the bandit leader thought Anubis didn't have a lot of Ena left. Without hesitation, he pursued Nathan and destroyed yet another building.

Nathan formed multiple bullets this time as if he knew what he could do to counter this trick. He spread those five bullets and fired them at the same time.

Due to the immense Ena that Sera lent, he could actually cover the entire width of the building, forcing the bandit leader to block it.

Nathan glanced at giant and Nidhogg and shouted, "Just hold on for a bit longer. Nidhogg should be able to defeat the giant within the next five minutes."

"…" Anubis looked shocked because he had captured around 70% of the bandits with his bandage. All of them were isolated inside a big ball made of bandages.

Meanwhile, Brunhild was also in a good position. She had cut half of the tail and two of the rat-person's fingers. If this continued, she should also be able to defeat her enemy within five minutes.

Nathan didn't care about their reaction, since he had one plan in mind.

Once the bandit leader realized the severity of his situation, he had no choice but to attack Nathan more aggressively.

He charged forward, allowing Nathan to once again aim at him.

Still, the bandit leader had gotten used to this attack and actually smashed it with his axe instead of blocking it.

"What?!" Nathan jumped back as the other party closed in. The latter took advantage of Nathan's shock to turn this into close combat once again.

However, this was a trap from Nathan. He had hidden his other hand behind him and formed five bullets.

When the bandit leader was about to reach him, three bullets suddenly came out of his back, looping around Nathan from above, the left, and the right respectively.

The bandit had no other choice but to avoid them and abandon his attack… or so Nathan thought.

The leader blocked the one coming from above with his axe and covered his body with the coat.

It was painful, but the coat withstood those bullets.

"This is the end for you and your petty trick!" The leader roared while enduring the pain. He stretched his hand toward Nathan's neck.

Still, Nathan summoned five bullets and only fired three. The other two bullets were actually looping around him from below.

Yes, Nathan shot the two bullets to the ground. Because there was rock underground, they had no choice but to destroy the soil first before emerging. Hence, Nathan gave them the same trajectory, but released the second bullet a split second after the first one.

As a result, the first bullet broke down the soil, and the second one finally emerged from the ground and hit his right thigh.

"!!!" The bandit leader felt the excruciating pain as he lowered his head, finding his right leg falling to the ground. Thanks to Sera, that bullet was actually enough to rip apart his leg. However, he wasn't planning to fall without a fight.

With the last bit of his strength, he punched Nathan's chest, cracking two ribs and blowing him away.

"Kh!" Nathan bounced several times on the ground before stopping right in front of Sera.

"Are you alright?" Sera panicked, not knowing what to do.

Even though blood was coming out of his mouth, Nathan actually smiled.

"Anubis. It's time for you to shine." His wound was healed once again, but this wasn't the only thing that shocked the leader.

All of a sudden, the rat-person crashed into the building not far from him, with Brunhild following right after. There wasn't a single injury on her body, which meant she either overpowered the rat-person or she had recovered.

Yet that wasn't the extent of Nathan's plan. His real plan involved Fenrir, the angel, and the fallen angel.

All three of them suddenly raised their heads and noticed something. There was a surge of Ena that enveloped their bodies, rapidly healing their injuries. It turned out they were within Anubis' healing range.

That was right. The reason Nathan told Anubis and Brunhild that he would take care of the bandit leader, as well as asking them to match his movement, was none other than positioning.

Anubis' healing range was quite 20 meters (65 feet). He could sense Fenrir's location, so the only thing he needed to keep track of was the angel and the fallen angel.

He had been sneakily moving closer and closer to their position. And finally, those three could finally fight at their peak state once again.

This was the plan that Nathan had in mind when suggesting Sera summon Brunhild.
