"Aaaahhhh!" Bloody Fiend screamed as the punishing light burned him from the inside.
Several familiars immediately struck the light itself and saved him, while two familiars struck Anubis. Anubis, who wasnât adept at combat, got knocked down to the ground.
Mae wanted to apply another illusion, but Bell Crusher rang the bell one more time.
*Ding!*
"Kh." Mae gritted her teeth as her ena became unstable. "Annoying."
When Mae was about to help Anubis despite all the disruptions, a bell smashed her.
Mae noticed it at the last moment and expanded her tail, using it as a cushion to catch the bell. However, she was pushed back severely.
Nathan hurriedly pointed the flamethrower at the bell. As long as he could melt it, Bell Crusher would lose one of its most important weapons.
However, Sniper released another arrow toward him.
âNathan!â
Nidhoggâs voice rang in his head. Since they shared their senses, Nathan obviously sensed the incoming arrow. He hurriedly shot the flame, burning the arrow as much as possible.
As expected, just like earlier, the arrow managed to break through the flame. Still, Nathan raised his weapon at the last minute, using the weapon made of Nidhoggâs scale to block the residual power.
Sniper only looked at him with a solemn expression. Although displeased that his attack was stopped, it wasnât at the level where he should feel frustrated.
However, because he was so focused on blocking Sniperâs arrow, Bloody Fiend managed to recover and stabbed him from behind.
Nathan hurriedly twisted his body to the side, avoiding the fatal strike.
"Kh. Change!" Nathan turned around as Nidhogg turned into Fenrir. He spun his body and used the centrifugal force to kick Bloody Fiend, but the latter simply jumped away.
Bloody Fiend thought he could kill him by bleeding him to death, so it was fine even if that attack wasnât fatal. Then again, it hurt one of his organs, so he would die sooner or later.
However, the wound abruptly disappeared.
"!!!" Bloody Fiend widened his eyes in shock. "It disappearâ!!!"
The next thing he realized, Nathan had already pointed his pistol at him.
Once he pulled the trigger, the absolute bullet flew toward Bloody Fiend. That absolute force hit him in the chest, cracking a few of his ribs.
"Gah!" Bloody Fiend bounced several times on the ground before crashing into a building.
Thanks to Fenrirâs senses, Nathan was able to observe an even wider area. He could see what was going on with Johnson and Evelyn. Unfortunately, he couldnât focus too much to see what was going on in the village, but it was fine as long as the summoners were still fighting the enemyâs familiars.
Johnson was in a bad position. Although he was stronger than Evelyn, he lacked the lifebound contract, so he couldnât match Alexâs power.
On the other hand, Evelyn had gained some advantages, but that was because her power was more unique than Johnsonâs. Once her opponent got used to her power, she would be the one in trouble.
Anubis and Mae were also having a hard time. After all, Bloody Fiend decided to bring his familiars here. In other words, instead of three summoners, his opponents were three summoners and six familiars. Evelyn and Johnson couldnât afford to send their familiars to his side.
âIt looks like Evelyn hasnât gone all out as well. She is using only half of her familiars. She must be trying to hide the familiars that have been seen by them in the past.â
Nathan could see that they would be defeated sooner or later.
âI donât know how they were able to find us, but it looks like I have to adjust my plan. Whether itâs a spy or their unique ability, they wonât be able to figure us out...â Nathan took a deep breath. âFenrir. Thereâs something Iâd like to try. Match my power.â
âOK.â This was probably the first time they had come up with something unique together. In the past, he simply imitated something from others.
But this time, he could feel Nathanâs energy moving in a way it had never done before.
âUse your claw attack and absolute strength, but instead of just a single strike, expand it like a barrier and coat my fist.â Nathan muttered in his mind as he rushed to Bell Crusher.
"!!!" Bell Crusher took a step back as he recalled his bell from Mae and put it in front of him.
Instead of shooting, Nathan actually stopped by stomping the ground and punched it with his left hand.
Absolute Dragon Fist.
*Roar!*
The ena burst produced a thunderous dragon roar. It was the Dragon Fist Nathan learned from the Dragon King. However, Nathan utilized Fenrirâs divinity to produce an even more powerful Dragon Fist.
Bang!
*Crack!*
The bell cracked, a part of it shattered, before getting launched back, crashing into his own summoner.
"Gah!" Bell Crusher got hit in the face, breaking his nose as blood splattered.
However, an arrow came right after, as if knowing Nathan wouldnât be able to move for a split second after using that attack.
But that was when Nathan had Nidhogg. This time, Nathan had Fenrir. He forced that strength to come out, allowing him to leap into the air and avoid the arrow.
Still, Sniper remained calm. Since Nathan was in the air, he would have a harder time avoiding his arrow.
Unfortunately for him, Nathan didnât plan to avoid it.
âOne more time, buddy,â muttered Nathan in his mind as he pointed the gun at Sniper.
Instead of the usual bullet, Nathan tried to apply his new bullet in the Fenrir Pistol.
He created several bullets, each having Fenrirâs divinity, and fused them together.
It was the first time Sniperâs expression changed. Both Sniper and Nathan fired at the same time.
The arrow turned into a cannon, but Nathanâs bullet felt as if the monstrous wolf manifested himself. The bullet charged forward and struck the arrow.
It wasnât even a clash. The bullet pierced through the arrow without any resistance and fell onto Sniperâs position.
*Bam!*
The bullet destroyed an entire area, causing a massive landslide. If they were still in Lindwurmâs territory, this one bullet would be enough to destroy the entire marquisâs mansion.
Unfortunately, Sniper was calm enough to actually jump away, using the dust knocked up by the impact to disappear from Nathanâs vision.
After seeing that power, Bloody Fiend, Bell Crusher, Sniper, and even Alex Tear and Soul Devourer recognized the difficulty of their mission.
Bloody Fiend recalled his daggers and formed another pair of daggers, but this time they were black.
Bell Crusher also summoned a black bell.
"!!!" Nathan could sense a threat coming from these weapons. âSo, here it comes... Black Cell Weapons...â
