Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

Chapter 164: Jiangshi

"Are you ready?" Nathan asked.

"Yes." Selena nodded with a serious expression.

"Alright." Nathan walked back, observing the summoning ritual with Fenrir and the others.

Risa's expression was grim as she wondered what kind of vampire Selena would summon.

Selena raised her palm and began the ritual.

"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, Selena Ashton, heed my call and come forth to this world, the great being of another world."

The summoning circle started glowing, which took everyone's attention except for Nathan and Fenrir.

Nathan was closing his eyes as if he were praying. Fenrir couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"

"I'm just closing my eyes and emptying my mind. This is a great technique that might look like a conspiracy, but somehow very effective. When you close your eyes with an empty mind, the loading screen will be faster, and your chance of getting something you want somehow skyrockets." Nathan took a deep breath.

Fenrir's eyebrows twitched. Nathan had just gone weirder and weirder by the day.

Meanwhile, the summoning ritual had reached the last stage.

As Nathan previously described, the jiangshi would have a clothing style that differed from anyone else in this world.

She could see the circle hat on top of its head. The hair was long and braided to make it look neat.

The more important thing would be the clothes. From the looks of it, the jiangshi had a rather thin build. However, the jiangshi was wearing oversized clothes.

The humanoid figure suddenly raised its right leg to the top, showing its flexibility. Then, with a rather fierce yet gentle force, it stomped the ground, dispersing all the light and revealing his true appearance.

Selena looked quite shocked. The jiangshi truly felt different. The man was wearing a court dress, so it was no wonder that it looked much bigger than his thin frame.

However, Selena could feel the enormous Ena within his body. The jiangshi looked similar to a middle-aged man, but its skin was blue as though the blood had been completely drained from its body.

Despite his age and skin color, the man had little wrinkles on his face. The only thing scary were the bloodshot eyes and the sharp teeth.

The man fixed his long, flowing gown that extended to the ankles. He looked at Selena as if it were not disturbed by the talisman hanging on his forehead.

He straightened his back and clasped his hand to produce a very crispy sound that broke the silence. "Yin Zhen greets my summoner."

His sound was deep but carried a trace of a powerful aura like that of a martial artist.

Nathan opened his eyes wide when he heard the deep voice, looking disappointed, as if it didn't work as he intended.

"I'm Selena Ashton. I'm thankful for you accepting my call." Selena nodded. "As you can see, this is not your world. I hope you can help me on my journey."

"Ha!" Yin Zhen fell to one knee while his hands remained together.

Selena couldn't help but take a look at his status.

Name: Yin Zhen

Level: 57

Race: Jiangshi

Quality: Mid (High)

Since the summoning was completed and there was nothing they could do about it, Nathan couldn't help but take a closer look at Yin Zhen.

Yin Zhen felt a bit uncomfortable since he wasn't familiar with the person next to his summoner.

Nathan, on the other hand, asked, "I'm sorry if I sound rude, but can I ask you something? Do you jump instead of walking or running?"

Yin Zhen tilted his head in confusion. "I'm not sure what you're talking about, but I can walk and run with no problems. However, as a martial artist, I am most confident with my legs."

"I see." Nathan nodded. He was a bit curious as to how powerful this jiangshi was, but he could test it another time. "How much Ena do you sacrifice to summon him?"

"About 2,000 Ena." Selena explained.

"2,000…" Nathan looked shocked. Selena didn't even bat an eye when she used all that Ena to summon him.

Selena said, "Anyway, we should get going. Our mission this time is involved near the frontline. In fact, we might end up coming to the alien's territory this time."

"That's true. Alright then." Nathan returned to grab his bag, only to find Fenrir with a brightened expression. "What are you doing, Fenrir?"

"Can I fight him?" Fenrir pointed at the jiangshi. "He smells like that orc. He must be quite strong."

Yin Zhen couldn't help but hear their conversation. He frowned as if he were feeling challenged.

Unfortunately, Nathan and Selena noticed what they were planning to do and said the same thing. "No. If you want to test each other's power, do it during the mission."

Both of them looked disappointed. Despite looking mature, Yin Zhen might actually be a martial maniac.

"Alright. I will get back." Disappointed, Fenrir disappeared into thin air.

Selena explained to Yin Zhen. "As you already know, this world has a lot of aliens. And this time, we'll be hunting as many aliens as possible. Our true mission will depend on the commander in charge.

"I'm sorry if I can't pronounce your name correctly, but I will do my best… Yin Zhein."

"Understood." Yin Zhen nodded. As he started disappearing, Yin Zhen said one last thing. "It's Yin Zhen."

Selena took a deep breath. She could feel the different types of Ena flowing in his body. Unlike her Ena, which was smooth and gentle, Yin Zhen's Ena was fierce and explosive. She thought, 'Qi was it? Well, I'm sure it's better to use Ena since it's universally accepted.'

Since Yin Zhen looked like a vanguard, Selena turned to Risa. "You can focus on supporting us from the back. Your blood abilities will definitely be much more potent now that you can focus on utilizing them."

"Yes." Risa nodded.

Selena then turned to Nathan and grabbed her own bag. "We'll be there for two weeks. I think that's enough, right?"

"Yeah. Let's go."
