Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

Chapter 203: Mysterious Activity

Because of the distrust Nathan sowed into the enemy's ranks, everyone was a bit skeptical about working with Rudeus.

The students ended up dividing into three groups. The first group would be those who wanted to suck up to Rudeus by trusting him. The second group simply wanted to fight by themselves, not trusting anyone except for their pair.

The last problem was the one problematic for August. They actually made a coalition to take down both the Nathan-Selena pair and the August-Rudeus pair. It was as if they had been betrayed by them and just wanted to take the top spot for themselves.

Their ambition had halted Rudeus' progress from taking over the event.

Rudeus did his best to convince them, but Nathan manipulated them so well with his status. By turning into a victim himself, he managed to provoke everyone's empathy.

Although no one wanted to side with him and Selena, it was enough to buy them time.

With half of the island remaining, Rudeus and these three groups had to share their resources.

Obviously, they claimed one part of the island as their territory, preventing anyone from coming near it.

However, the biggest problem was the only water source on this island.

If someone actually took over that pond, they could eliminate the rest of the opposition right away.

That was why Rudeus had to take over the pond. As long as he got it, he could force them to submit to him.

Little did they know, that process would take a long time.

In the meantime, Nathan and Selena took this opportunity to set up their camp, waiting for the fire to run out of fuel.

"How is it?" Nathan asked while glancing at a huge boulder.

Yin Zhen had split this boulder into two and started destroying the inner part.

"It should be done soon. We can use this boulder as a basin for all that water." Yin Zhen nodded.

"Don't worry about getting sick. Anubis can heal you." Nathan nodded. "Selena."

"I've done my best, but it's impossible to close the entrance. People will know about this cave sooner or later," said Selena as she returned.

They had found a cave as a shelter. The cave wasn't that deep, so the light could still enter.

It might be pretty cold, but as long as they set up a proper fire, they wouldn't freeze to death.

Fortunately, the wind blew in the opposite direction, so this cave wasn't filled with smoke. Nidhogg had also stopped providing the fire with his Ena, so it would be extinguished soon.

Now that they had set up their camp, it was time to continue to the next plan.

"Selena. You'll take care of our camp here. I'll go out for a bit."

"Are you going to do anything reckless again?" Selena squinted her eyes.

"Nope. You don't have to worry about that." He shook his head.

"Alright."

With Selena's agreement, Nathan immediately exited the cave.

He first recalled Fenrir and re-summoned him on his side. "Where are they?"

"As expected, they have split into three groups. The first group remains in that snotty prince's camp. The second group that looks more solid heads to the south. Your targets are scattered in the north."

Nathan smirked. "Let's go to the north then."

…

"I think I've grabbed enough," a male student glanced at the items he gathered with his familiars. "This should be enough for a few days. All I hope is that we have enough water to drink later. I hope Bryan is able to secure some water."

As he said those words, he waved his hands to the familiars, signaling them to go back.

But all of a sudden, the three familiars raised their heads and turned around as if they noticed something.

"What's wrong—!" The student frowned and turned around, only to find two bandages wrapped around his mouth and neck from the side.

The cat-person in his rank immediately moved toward him, trying to cut down the bandage.

However, a shadow suddenly appeared from the side.

The cat-person halted his step and struck whoever came from his right, only to find that person caught his dagger.

"!!!" Before the cat-person could see who it was, he suddenly felt a powerful impact on his side.

The hobgoblin and goat-person tried to help him. Unfortunately for them, a wolf suddenly pounced on the goat-person. The goat-person blocked his paws, but the enemy's momentum was too much and pushed him to the ground.

The hobgoblin sustained a much more serious injury as a dragon dove from above the trees and crushed him with his weight.

The cat-person was also blown away by a single punch, allowing the human to approach their summoner.

With a gun motion, he pointed it at the summoner's head. "Stop. You have died."

The summoner widened his eyes, glaring at his enemy, who turned out to be Nathan.

"Uuuu!" The guy wanted to say something, but the teacher had arrived.

"You have died. Further participation will result in your team getting disqualified." Jason suddenly appeared next to them. "Nathan. Cease your action right now. Ran, you also have to recall your familiars."

With Jason's order, Ran didn't have any other choice.

When he recalled his familiars, Anubis released him as Jason brought him back to the ship.

Anubis said, "We should hurry if we want to defeat another student. It's going to rain pretty soon."

"Is that so?" Nathan lifted his head, staring at the black cloud in the sky. "In that case…"

Nathan changed his plan a little bit.

…

A few minutes later.

Everyone could hear another dragon's cry coming from the other side of the island as rain started pouring down.

It was as if the dragon was unwilling to accept that his fire would be extinguished soon.

Unfortunately, they couldn't do anything. Fighting in the rain would just tire them out or even make them sick.

Hence, most of them retreated to their camp, waiting for the rain to stop, which only happened several hours later after the night came.

Unbeknownst to them, there was one more person stepping onto the island during the night where most activities had ceased.

The person pointed his palm at the ground as a magic circle formed, letting out a dim green light.
