Chapter 1153: Fenrir Pistol
Nathan was shocked. At the same time, he noticed something. âAnd vice versa, right? If you unleash your claw strikes coupled with my control, wonât the claw strikes that contain all that power be bendable?â
âHahaha. Thatâs indeed something Iâd like to see.â
Nathan almost forgot about this. When he was using his Soul Contract for the first time, he made an agreement with Fenrir to transfer his skill.
But with this fragmentâs power, he could do such a thing with Fenrirâs cooperation. Although he couldnât access it when Fenrir wasnât in this form, it didnât matter. After all, this power was meant to be used during a fight.
With the number of Nathanâs familiars, he would have multiple forms of fighting style.
âThis is an extremely useful power.â Nathan gasped. âWe can explore it more later.â
âI know.â
Evelyn interjected, âNathan. I have to warn you about something before you attempt mastering this power.â
âHmm?â Nathan raised his eyebrows. âWhat?â
âThis might not be a problem for all of us, but you are fundamentally different. For us, who can only access the familiar with the lifebound contract, we will only have one fighting style. Even I will only have two.
âOn the other hand, you will have a lot of them. You must have heard this saying. A master of one blade can fight a master who wields ten thousand blades.
âIf you end up utilizing all of them like this, you will become the latter. Without being able to master all your power, you will end up falling into an endless abyss and crumble from within.â
âThatâs⊠trueâŠâ Although Nathan didnât want to admit it, mastering all kinds of weapons would take a very long time.
âI bet the people in this world focus on one familiar, which will be their strongest familiar. At most two or three, but thatâs it. They will still fight together with their familiars, but with this additional power.
âAnd since they donât have elements in their body, they will fight purely with brute force or your kind of fighting style.â
Nathan nodded in agreement. âFair enough. So, I have to choose some of my beasts? Well, even if I want to do that, they will definitely bicker with each other.â
âNo, Iâm not talking about which divine beast you are going to use. Iâm thinking about using your current fighting style as the foundation. In other words, the power you will access from your familiar will be adjusted to match your current fighting style.â
âOh!â Nathan looked up, imagining Fenrirâs bullets, Anubisâ bullets, Nidhoggâs bullets, and even Jinwuâs bullets.
Fenrirâs bullets would be extremely robust and powerful because of his nature. Anubis might not be able to produce bullets, but if he released that power, it might become a healing bullet. If it were Nidhogg, he might shoot fire instead of normal bullets. As for Jinwu, it would be something like sun bullets, similar to a beam.
He could imagine it. It was the same fighting style, which was the utilization of bullets. However, due to the power imbued in it, he would have different fighting styles.
âSo, a master of ten thousand blades⊠In the end, they all are blades⊠Even if it can be done that way, wonât it still remain a master of none?â Nathan asked.
âI told you before, right?â Evelyn shook her head. âYou are different from all of us. Your familiars are not ordinary familiars but divine beasts.â
âAh!â Nathan facepalmed. How could he forget about this? The divine beasts were the ones managing his power. In the end, he just had to control one blade while his divine beasts were the ones controlling the difference.
âOf course, you shouldnât neglect fighting with other familiars as well as their growth. But this new fighting style will help you a lot, especially since you are a control-type fighter. You control the battlefield with your wits and abilities.â
Nathan nodded in understanding. It was true. Other familiars wouldnât be able to control their power as well as his divine beasts, so this was the biggest advantage he had over the others.
âInteresting.â Nathan could see how the fight would become.
âAnyway, this is just the first step of this continentâs power. Itâs not the level I will be stuck at. Are you going to test it with your other familiars first or try the next step? Although I donât know how far I will reach, Iâm expecting to reach Crystal Sense or Crystal Armor on my first try.â
Nathan thought for a moment. âSounds good. I will try the next step as well, but I will stop there. Itâs better to create the tool forms of each of my familiars first that can best represent each of their abilities.â
Evelyn agreed. Nathanâs divine beasts were truly too special, so it was probably better for him to condense that power first rather than attempting Crystal Sense or even Crystal Armor.
âAll right. Letâs begin.â Nathan nodded and sat back down. âFenrir. What kind of form do you wish to have?â
âItâs up to you. Since weâre going to match your fighting style, you should be the one shaping our new form.â
âI see. Sounds good enough.â Nathan took a deep breath and closed his eyes again. Evelyn also started concentrating. They recalled the information Bella had told them.
âOnce youâre able to condense the power of your familiar into a single form, you can start shaping their power and give them a new form.
âWithout your interference, familiars will form their existence by using the memory contained within their fragment. Having blood and all biological functions originated from that memory. However, with the interference of the summoner, they are able to create a new form based on the summonerâs memory.â
Nathan could imagine several of his divine beastsâ new forms. After all, their power had shown some resemblance to what he had seen on Earth, especially Nidhogg. He could imagine playing with a flamethrower.
But for Fenrir, there was no weapon form that suited him more than the form of his original weapon.
Nathan gradually managed Fenrirâs new form. If it were other familiars, they wouldnât be able to condense this body so easily, but due to Fenrirâs control, not only did he manage to help Nathan construct the new body, but he was also the one maintaining this new form. This would take a lot of burden off Nathanâs shoulders during the fight. Nathan could focus more on strategizing than on maintaining this weapon form.
The crystal gradually turned into a pistol. Its body was made of Fenrirâs tough skin, the tail became a fur attached to the hammer like a decoration. A slight pointy vision was formed by Fenrirâs ears. Last but not least, his claw turned into a small bayonet.
This was Fenrirâs new (pistol) form.
