BXBX NOVEL Chapter 79: Killing the Mutant
The alien tried to move the blade up and down, but to no avail. It was trying to pull it out, but Nathan still firmly held it.
Hence, there was only one thing to do. The alien planned to use the other blade to kill Nathan, but Fenrir suddenly bit its arm.
Because the alien didn\'t expect it, Fenrir ripped the arm apart.
"Scree!" The alien was screaming.
After that, Nathan took a step back and pulled the blade out, allowing the alien to move again, but Nathan\'s plan had succeeded.
He pointed his palm at the alien.
"I haven\'t mastered it, but I can use it to a certain extent." Nathan formed the torrential sphere he learned from Selena. He couldn\'t use it as his bullet yet, but he could still explode it.
The burst of Ena knocked back the alien and himself.
The alien hurriedly stood up, ready to wave his blade at whoever approached him.
Anubis stopped the blade for a second with his bandage. Meanwhile, Nathan pressed the wound with one hand and released the Deadly Claw from another hand.
The Deadly Claw hit the alien\'s neck as nothing could block it anymore. However, the claw was too weak to fully cut the neck.
"Tsk!" Nathan clicked his tongue. Unfortunately, his condition didn\'t allow him to use both hands.
"No. We won." Seeing such an attack, Fenrir immediately leaped into the air and pressed the Deadly Claw, giving the necessary power to cut the alien\'s neck.
Nathan panted heavily, his face turning pale. They had won against a juvenile class mutant. He had grown much stronger compared to when he was in Tevlan Forest. Anubis was also here, but to think that he had to resort to this kind of strategy just to kill the mutant, Nathan could only sigh.
Nathan dropped to his knees as Anubis hurriedly covered the wound with his bandage, barely stopping the bleeding. After that, he poured all his Ena into the healing ability. "You…"
He was frustrated because what Nathan said regarding trust was him risking his life.
Fenrir was also annoyed, but more importantly, he was angry at himself. Nathan might be reckless, naive, or even horny, but he wasn\'t a fool.
The fact that he did such a thing must mean it was necessary.
"Why did you do that?"
While enduring the pain, Nathan changed his position a bit and sat down on the ground. He kept inhaling and exhaling his breath loudly. "The mutant could learn."
"Learn?" Fenrir squinted his eyes. "Are you saying that you had no choice but to kill the mutant right away?"
"Yeah." Nathan nodded.
Fenrir couldn\'t help but become even angrier to himself. If that truly happened, the situation would become much worse. If they couldn\'t kill the alien before Anubis\' Ena ran out, they might have to run away.
With such intelligence, the alien could choose the villagers, forcing Nathan to stop it. Ultimately, they would lose to the alien.
If he was just a bit stronger, Nathan wouldn\'t be injured.
"It is a mutant for a reason." Nathan took a deep breath. "To think that this is just a low level alien… What if the big boys are coming to this world? We\'re going to be screwed."
"That won\'t happen." Fenrir harrumphed. "I\'ll beat them."
Fenrir realized he should get stronger as quickly as possible. If more Ena wasn\'t an available option yet, he had to find a new technique.
Even Anubis understood what he was supposed to do. Unlike Fenrir, who could focus on his attack, he had to protect Nathan and heal people.
He had to find another way to attack the enemy, or at least make Nathan stronger to the point where he didn\'t need his protection.
Nathan smiled. They were not the only ones frustrated. He, too, had to face his teacher\'s anger after going back with his clothes dyed in blood.
Nathan thought for a moment. "We have to get even stronger. Currently, we have two options."
"We should get stronger at an individual level. Only by having high prowess will we be able to defeat them without using such a dangerous trick," Fenrir added right away, as if reprimanding Nathan not to make them worry again.
Meanwhile, Anubis\' opinion differed from his. "I believe that a third partner will be necessary. We can outnumber the opponent and if there is someone who can help us in the battle, I can support all three of you. Of course, depending on how much Ena you have, it\'s also good to sacrifice more Ena for us."
Nathan scratched the back of his head. "Well, I\'m more inclined to the second option."
"What? You\'re going to summon another one so quickly? Do you have the items or Ena to sacrifice? And are you going to follow the suggestion of that lass and summon a flying beast?" Fenrir frowned.
"I, too, would like to know what divine beast you have in mind, summoner." Anubis agreed with Fenrir.
Nathan smiled. "If I want a flying beast, it is obviously the strongest flying beast out there. Then again, I have to consider the items. I believe I can get one of them, so I only need another one… At least, this is much better than any other divine beasts.
"That\'s why for the next one, I\'ll be summoning a dragon from your myth, Fenrir."
…
"Mistress." The divine spirit came to Vivian with a solemn expression.
"What\'s wrong?" Vivian frowned.
"We\'ll give him the item he requested."
"Hoh? Are you sure?" Vivian crossed her arms.
"Yes. The dryad, the old druid, and the high elf have agreed." The divine spirit nodded.
"I see. I\'m really thankful that you four are willing to give him that item."
"Let\'s just say that this is an investment to him. In the future, we might request his help." The divine spirit put down a briefcase on the table. "This is the item."
Vivian nodded. "I understand. I\'ll be telling him about it. Alisha!"
"Yes!" Alisha nodded before bowing to the divine spirit. "I\'m honored to be the messenger of the divine spirit, the dryad of the divine tree, the sage druid, and the almighty high elf queen. I\'ll be giving this divine tree\'s root to the young master."
