Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

Chapter 42: Information

Chapter 42: Information

Fenrir raised his head, looking at the open window with a handkerchief tied to the handle. He couldn't help but sigh, "To think that this great Fenrir is reduced to a swindler."

Nathan had been planning this all along. He knew that if he somehow won against Selena, he could use him as a courier to get closer to Selena.

"Tsk." Fenrir clicked his tongue before leaping into the room, finding Selena and Risa already waiting for him. It might be because of her excitement that Selena actually moved the table near the window, allowing Fenrir to descend to the table right after reaching the window.

She would sit in front of him, listening and taking notes.

"!!!" Selena stared at Fenrir intensely, as if she couldn't contain her excitement.

"I have made you wait." Fenrir landed on the table, but it was too small for his current size, so he chose to lie down on the bigger bed, even though his paws would dirty the sheet.

However, he acted as if it didn't matter because he carried the information Selena wanted.

"I heard you wanted to know more about Lilith."

"Yes." Selena nodded. "I want to know everything, from her appearance to all the basic information. If possible, I'd like to know the thing that might link it to her."

"But do you have the Ena to actually summon her?"

"That's..." Selena looked away. Lilith was a vampire progenitor. Even his father summoned Dracula as his fifth familiar.

"Instead of summoning her right away, it's better if you summon the one related to her first. If it works, that means summoning her is possible once you have more Ena." Fenrir harrumphed.

"The ones related to her?" Selena thought Fenrir's suggestion made sense. "What is this being related to her?"

"I'll first talk about Lilith. When I fought against those vampires, I learned about her origin.

"She is traced back to the human ancestor, Adam. As his wife, Lilith refused to submit to Adam and left the Garden of Eden, later becoming a demoness.

"She was associated with seducing men in their sleep, causing nocturnal emission, or more like producing the demonic offspring or 'Lilitu.' So if we're talking about a test, it's better to try summoning those lesser beings."

"A demoness? Seduction?" Selena blinked her eyes a few times while inhaling deeply. Just listening to it made her face red because it was so shameful.

On the other hand, Fenrir didn't care about it and simply said, "Yes. Lilitu is a night demon. They have the appearance of a beautiful woman—"

"Succubus?!" Selena covered her mouth with her hands. She had never thought that the price of summoning Lilith would be summoning a succubus first.

Fenrir's eyebrows twitched as he continued, "They have talon-like nails, bat-like wings, or anything like a predator. They have an aura of death and decay. My summoners thought the same until he learned about this part."

With a dumbfounded face, Selena said, "Y-Yes. I apologize for cutting you earlier. The succubus that I know is pretty similar to what you've described, except for the fact that it's the embodiment of lust instead of death. They have human appearance except for the additional bat wings and tail."

Lilitu had never been discovered in the past, so if she really managed to summon Lilitu, she might have the chance to summon Lilith.

"What item do I need to summon Lilitu?" Selena asked, her eyes shining with expectation.

Fenrir hesitated for a moment, still remembering what Nathan had said previously. Fenrir thought that the first example would guarantee summoning a Lilitu, but Selena might not accept it. After all, Selena might have to get something related to infants or pregnancy.

Hence, Nathan told him about the second option. It was either an item that was related to illness or death or an animal with a similar appearance.

"You need a bat."

"A bat?!" Selena gasped. "But if I only use a bat, I'll end up summoning a succubus. There are a lot of stories about summoners taking care of bats to call a beautiful succubus."

"Just let me finish my words first." Fenrir raised his voice, starting to get annoyed.

"I-I'm sorry!" Selena's body was shaking. She was just about to get the information that she had desired this whole time, so it couldn't be helped to get this excited.

"What you need is not a healthy or good bat. In fact, what you need is the worst bat... a dead bat that has disease and is probably in the process of decaying."

"!!!" Selena widened her eyes in shock.

If one wanted to summon a succubus, they usually got a bat. The better its quality, the higher the succubus' rank.

Meanwhile, to summon a vampire, they needed to add blood to the offering. Only those with the quality could summon a vampire. That was why the Ashton family was a household with a long history.

But for Lilitu, Selena had to add one more thing. The bat that she sacrificed must be dead because of illness or disease. If its body had begun to decay, it would be even better.

She might be questioned by summoning this creature. In fact, she might even be considered a failure if she ended up summoning a succubus instead of a vampire or lilitu. But if she didn't rely on this unorthodox method, she might not be able to summon a vampire progenitor.

"I understand. I'll prepare it." Selena nodded. Nathan had never harmed her. If she somehow summoned this, she would definitely repay Nathan in the future.

"And now it's your turn to answer my question. I have a list of names that I want to know whether they have been summoned to this world."

...

Two hours later.

Fenrir had returned to Nathan's room as Nathan was writing down the item he wanted for the summoning ritual.

"Have you gotten the information yet?" Nathan asked.

"Yeah. Considering they are gods on their own terms, they should be pretty famous if they're summoned. There are several names that have been summoned to this world..." Fenrir glanced at the requested item. "By the way, looking at you so knowledgeable about vampires, is there a divine beast related to vampires?"

"Hmm..." Nathan thought for a moment. "If we are talking about vampires, it should be a bat. There is a bat god. If I'm not wrong, its name is Camazotz."

"So you're going to summon this bat god?"

"Why do you keep asking about divine beasts? Are you planning to jinx it? What am I going to do if I can only summon divine beasts?" Nathan let out a long sigh.

"So you want to summon another god? I guess it's a female since you want a pole. A stripper god?" Fenrir read the item's description while making his guess.

"Are you joking right now? It's not for a female god."

"Not a female?" Fenrir gasped as he placed his paw on Nathan's forehead. "Are you fine? You're not sick? Maybe you should get some sleep first."

"I'm gonna beat you up if you continue." Nathan's hand was twitching.

"So if not female, who is this god?" Fenrir asked.

"Hehehe. I'm his biggest fan. To me, he is the most fun and I bet the journey is going to be more interesting with him joining us. And he is also a good fighter."

"Hoh? A strong one, huh? I don't mind sparring with him." Fenrir grinned. "Who is this guy?"

"The Great Sage, Heaven's Equal." Nathan proudly declared his title.

Fenrir was surprised by such an awe-inspiring title. "I hope—Mmff!"

Nathan grabbed Fenrir's mouth as strong as possible, his forehead letting out a cold sweat.

"You stupid dog! Don't you dare to jinx it! I'm gonna beat you up today!"
