Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

Chapter 171: A Mistake



Chapter 171: A Mistake

When they heard the aliens' voices, they all knew that this trumpet sound was actually a call.

The only thing that could produce such a sound was the mysterious mature class alien.

They could see a lot of aliens approaching them from all directions, as if trying to surround them.

Nathan's expression turned serious as he couldn't help but shout, "Mr. David. We have to split our group here. If we have fewer people, we have a higher chance of escaping. Meanwhile, if they leave now with their comrades, they should be able to escape."

David couldn't find a flaw in his argument. It was true that in this situation, staying around the summoners would increase their chance to survive. On the other hand, they would have to abandon the bodies of their comrades.

At this point, the aliens hadn't completely assembled. If they took advantage of it and escaped, they could still return to the camp. More importantly, they could also bring reinforcement from the camp.

After realizing those points, David immediately shouted, "We'll split our group here! Bring their bodies back and inform the commander to send reinforcements! I will remain here to confirm the mature class alien."

"Yes, sir!" They had no other choice but to go back. The soldiers didn't bother with Nathan anymore as they just picked up their comrades, including their captain.

Although they wished to kill the person who had been controlled by the alien themselves, they could only leave it in others' hands.

Now that there was only one person to protect, Nathan could focus on finding a way to break through. This would also serve as a decoy for the escaping soldiers.

"Oi, Kid. That guy is gone!" Fenrir is staring into the distance.

"It can't be helped." Nathan shook his head. "We'll break through from here. Mr. David, do you remember where the sound is coming from?"

"Yeah. It's that way." David pointed in one direction.

"We'll trace the sound and confirm the existence of that mature class alien. After that, we'll immediately return, even if we have to fly."

"Got it. What should I do?" David asked with a serious expression. In this situation, he was ready to wield his blade.

"Keep up with us," Nathan immediately shouted. "Fenrir, Yin Zhen. Open up the path."

"Risa, Selena, and Anubis will conserve their stamina to prepare for an escape route. Sasha, keep up with me."

Yin Zhen felt slightly conflicted taking an order from Nathan instead of Selena. But seeing how much Selena trusted Nathan, he had no choice but to follow his instruction.

Fenrir and Yin Zhen immediately increased their pace, heading in the direction David pointed at earlier.

The rest followed closely behind them. They were surrounded from all directions, so they had to move as quickly as possible.

There was a reason he hadn't summoned Nidhogg this whole time. It was his trump card. He had seen how the alien was able to hide among humans, so it wouldn't be weird if they managed to outsmart him.

Hence, he wanted them to believe these were the only things they had.

Fenrir pounced on one of the aliens and slapped it to the front so that the alien would crash into a few other aliens.

Yin Zhen, on the other hand, gathered his Ena in his foot and kicked the ground. He leveled up a huge portion of the soil and created a powerful sweeping force as if there was a soil wave.

The wave engulfed the aliens and trapped them underneath.

Fortunately, most of them were only proto-class aliens. If they encountered juvenile class aliens, things would get rough.

As if not allowing them to escape, the juvenile class mutant appeared again and waved its sword horizontally, cutting through trees.

It was similar to what Noelle had used before, so Fenrir jumped straight to it and let out a bark, dispelling the attack.

"A hundred aliens in front of us while conserving our strength." Nathan muttered while looking around. Their left and right were filled with aliens that were about to reach them.

"Sasha. We go to the left. Let Fenrir take care of everything on the right side."

Sasha nodded and struck an alien with her claws. There were several other aliens trying to kill her, but Nathan shot all the aliens coming from her right.

It allowed them to focus on those on her left. Meanwhile, the rest of the group looked like they wanted to join the fight but were unable to do so because they had a different role. Considering they would be chased down after this, it was only right to conserve their strength.

Once the soldiers reached the base and informed the commander, the latter would send some reinforcement. In fact, the commander could come to the battlefield personally and fight against the mature class alien right after they confirmed its existence. Nathan's group didn't have to retreat this way.

This was an optimal and rational plan Nathan made. Nathan, however, made one crucial mistake.

It might be because of the situation that forced him to shift his focus elsewhere, but he forgot one thing. There were actually two people that hadn't been checked. The first one immediately showed he was an alien, but the second one was completely going under the radar because of all the commotions.

And that miscalculation was fatal.

"What are you doing?" The loud guy was holding his stomach that had been stabbed from behind. He was staring at the last guy, who had a similar looking blade as the alien.

In front of him were his comrades. All of them had either been stabbed to death or lost their heads.

The loud guy gnashed his teeth. It turned out there were two aliens. When he thought about it, they forgot that these two were the second group they managed to find before encountering Nathan.

Everything was clear. They had deceived everyone by making one of them expose themselves.

"Gaaahhhh!" The loud guy let out a roar as he charged toward the alien, unleashing all his anger. But it was futile.

The alien swung his sword upward and cut the guy into two, the momentum flinging the body forward. The alien only looked at them without a change of expression before disappearing into the woods.
