Chapter 47 Selena\'s Choice
It also confirmed that Nathan could only summon a divine beast. This way, he shouldn\'t have any expectation of summoning other familiars like vampire progenitor, archangels, and other humanoid familiars.
The people in this world would be the ones having the chance to summon them. If he added the aliens into the mix, it felt like he would be the third faction because of his uniqueness.
No one had ever summoned divine beings from their first familiar, let alone divine beasts.
With his Soul Contract, he might become a one-man army.
Of course, it would only happen in the future. He was still struggling against several proto-class aliens, so he couldn\'t really brag about his strength.
\'Getting stronger… While it\'s true that Soul Contract will allow me to have an ability from my familiar, this is just me taking their ability. I need to learn the techniques from this world as well.\'
Even though the burden wouldn\'t be too much if he had a lot of familiars, the amount of Ena in his body didn\'t allow him to summon those many divine beasts right now. Still, it would be nice to have ten different abilities from ten different familiars.
Nathan glanced at Selena, asking, "Why don\'t you try summoning your second familiar right now?"
Selena\'s body shuddered as she looked away. "Ehm…"
She didn\'t want to admit she was scared… she was scared to find herself failing to summon Lilitu.
Nathan didn\'t say anything to respect her decision, but Selena changed her mind.
"Alright. I will be next." Selena stood up.
"Mhmm." Nathan was startled but still said, "Good luck."
He felt Selena had become easier to talk to. While she still rarely showed her emotion, Nathan could feel that she had opened up to him.
Selena, on the other hand, used Nathan as a role model. As she walked down the stairs, she thought, \'I might have the will to endure and try, but I guess I should learn from him. While he is only a farmer, he shows his courage. While they look reckless on the surface, they are a well-calculated move.
\'If I have a bit of his courage, I will definitely be able to make all my wishes a reality…\' Selena took a deep breath as she stopped right in front of the summoning circle.
"Selena Ashton. Your requested item is…" Jason scratched the back of his head, hesitant to say it. "A decaying bat corpse with disease?"
"Yes, Teacher."
"Are you sure about this?"
"I\'m sure." Selena nodded with a solemn expression.
"Alright then." Jason signaled the assistant to bring forth the item.
The students were obviously weirded out when they heard about the requested item.
"A decaying corpse?"
"With disease on top of that?"
They never thought that Selena would ask for such a disgusting item. They could understand if she wanted a bat, since she would be summoning a vampire.
However, they were wrong. Those who understood Selena\'s lineage couldn\'t help but furrow their eyebrows, wondering what Selena was trying to do.
As they were whispering to each other, the staff came with a box. She was wearing a mask and gloves to avoid getting afflicted by the disease.
She used a tong to place the bat in the center of the magic circle, showing everyone the true appearance of the bat.
People wanted to puke after they saw the bat. Half of its body had decayed, releasing a foul smell that made everyone, including Nathan, close their noses.
The assistant even moved to the window and summoned a fire spirit that would produce a flame to reduce everything she used to nothing. No one wanted to get a disease after all.
Selena smelled the foul odor, but she somehow remained calm, as if she had gotten used to such a disgusting, rotten smell.
As soon as everyone left the summoning circle, she extended her hand while chanting the same thing. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"By my name, Selena Ashton, heed my call and come forth to this world, the great being of another world."
The summoning was a success. The bat was enveloped by the light produced by the magic circle, isolating the bat as well as its foul smell.
Selena\'s breathing became rough because her future was riding in this one summon.
The light gradually shaped into a humanoid form, producing no phenomenon like the others.
"Is that…"
"As expected. It\'s a vampire. But why did she use a decaying bat?"
"Right?"
They could clearly see the bat wings, so it was surely a vampire. Selena clenched her hands into fists, praying to the vampire goddess to bless her with Lilitu.
"Wait. What is that?"
"Isn\'t it supposed to be red?"
"Is the light getting corroded?"
Suddenly, the light that enveloped the figure started turning black and disappeared into thin air, as if it were being corroded by the darkness itself.
Selena covered her hands in surprise.
The woman that appeared from within the light indeed had a pair of bat wings, but unlike the normal wings, their wings were burned and tattered. There were two tails tipped with poisonous stingers that were each 2 meters (6.4 feet) long.
Her hands were long and sharp, like talons, and their feet were similar to hooves. Her appearance matched the description Fenrir gave, and Selena\'s eyes confirmed her race.
"Sasha, at your service." She politely bowed to her.
"What is that?"
"It\'s not a vampire?"
"A demon?"
"But she is beautiful like a succubus."
The students were speechless because they had never seen someone like her before.
Even Jason couldn\'t contain his surprise. "A new species?"
People gulped when Jason confirmed their suspicion. While her impact wasn\'t comparable to that of Nathan and the others, she actually summoned a new race.
Tears were forming in the corner of Selena\'s eyes. There was no word to describe the joy in her heart. After all, this familiar had proven that the vampire progenitor that could change her fate existed.
