"Huu..." Sullivan squinted his eyes. "It doesnât look like I have to worry about this.
"The aliens seem pretty peaceful. Iâve noticed the strong presence among them, but if I go closer than this, Iâm afraid the alien will find me.
"However, I donât sense any other presence besides that one, so the information should be correct. There is indeed one elite class alien here. In that case, we can always plan ahead and see how we can eliminate it.
"But for now, itâs better to regroup with my granddaughterâs team. They should have arrived as well, but because of the number of suspected aliens, Iâm assuming theyâre planning to engage them in a fight."
Sullivan was the commander of the battlefield, so he knew what would happen if he attacked this nest.
Rather than attacking this nest, he preferred to head to Noelleâs group so that he could ambush the aliens there instead.
This would also allow him to see his granddaughterâs growth.
Once the aliens over there were taken care of, Sullivan could bring the girls here to eliminate this alien.
"I guess thatâs the best option right now. This is definitely not because I just want to go to my granddaughter..." Sullivan smiled before heading to the second site.
But what happened at the second site was definitely beyond his imagination. He thought Selena and the others would be alright, but he never knew how wrong he was.
Selenaâs party was almost defeated.
"Whatâs going on here?"
...
One hour earlier.
Selena and the others had finally arrived at the place Sullivan asked to investigate.
It was a swampy area. There were tall trees that made it hard for them to see everything around them, and the ground was quite wet, which could impair their ability to move.
Selena turned around. "Listen up. Because we will be fighting two elite class aliens, Iâm going to say this first. Right now, we know nothing about this area. So, we will figure out whatâs going on before engaging them in a fight.
"Noelle, Flora, and Sera will go around this place from the right, while I and Alavenya will go from the left. Make sure to roughly calculate the number of aliens hiding here, and if possible, I want the location of the elite class aliens.
"If we can, we should kill one at a time. It doesnât matter if we exchange our roles depending on who wants to challenge the elite class aliens.
"Just like Nathan always does it, safety first."
They never had any problems with Selenaâs commands. After all, it was true that Selena could utilize Nathanâs method more than them.
"All right. Letâs go." Selena raised her hand, signaling the start of their operation.
"I wonder if Nathan is doing alright out there?" Alavenya tried to make small talk while looking around.
Selena shook her head helplessly. "I donât know. Iâm just concerned about whether his enemies are doing alright or not."
"Youâre not worried about him?" Alavenya chuckled.
"Well, have you ever seen anyone take advantage of Nathan before?"
"I have, but all those people end up in a state worse than they originally were."
"Right?" Selena shrugged. "So, we just have to wait. Nathan has told us he will be back in one year, not counting the time to travel. According to Lilith, it shouldnât take more than a month for travel, so we will have to wait for a total of 14 months before we start worrying about him."
"What if he doesnât come back? Like... someone seduced him to stay?" Alavenya asked.
"He dares?" Selenaâs eyebrows twitched, her tone turning cold right away. "Iâll go there if necessary, even if thatâs the last thing I do. I have respected his wish and even agree if he wants to take more wives, but if he doesnât respect me as well, then Iâll make him a eunuch."
"..." Alavenya smiled wryly. If it were Selena, she really might do it.
"Well, I just hope that he doesnât come back with a kid." Alavenya chuckled.
"No. For whatever reason, Nathan doesnât plan to have a child right away. Weâve talked about it. It looks like until the situation is pretty stable, he doesnât intend to have a child."
"Is that so? I guess he told you a lot of things."
"He never intended to hide anything in the first place. If you ask him, he will answer. If you donât ask him, you wonât get the answer." Selena shrugged. "Next time, just ask him."
"Really? I will try that next time." Alavenya nodded. "For the time being, we have to get stronger. Itâs only you right now, but all of us plan to become world class summoners, you know?"
"I know. Thatâs why I have been working on it. You and Noelle are probably the second and third people to become one, followed by Flora and Sera. I believe all of us can become one in three to four months."
Alavenya couldnât help but agree with this arrangement.
"But I donât plan to stop there. I will become even stronger, like Lilith or beyond that." Selena nodded.
"A god, huh?" It still felt surreal. They had gotten the information on becoming a divine being from their familiars. After all, there were Lilith, Amphitrite, and Janus. Although her Xing Tian couldnât speak, he was also at the same level.
"Either way, we will have to move forward. Iâm afraid that the opponent heâs looking at is something that we canât even imagine. And I donât plan to be left behind, helplessly watching him leave."
"I feel the same." Alavenya nodded. "Letâsâ"
Boom!
"!!!" Both of them halted their steps the moment they heard the commotion.
"That sound..." Alavenya traced back the origin of the sound and realized it came from the opposite side, meaning it was from where Noelleâs group went.
"They should know that itâs foolish to pick a fight with the aliens right now..."
"That means itâs not normal. Theyâre being attacked!"
Both of them nodded to each other before heading to Noelleâs group.
What they found was actually much more terrifying than anything they had ever seen.
A four-meter-tall humanoid alien was walking toward Sera, whose left arm had already broken despite standing on the back.
They were strong enough to fight an elite class alien, yet a single alien actually knocked Noelle and Flora this hard and even injured Sera in such a short period.
There could only be one possibility.
