BXBX NOVEL Chapter 78: Got You
"Nothing." Nathan shook his head, but that attack actually inspired him to do something.
The alien came again, swinging its 3 meters (10 feet) blade, cutting down the tree in its path.
Fenrir struck the blade with all his strength while Anubis bound the blade, stopping it.
After that, Fenrir tried to push down the blade so that the alien\'s body would fall down following the blade.
Sadly, the alien had noticed his intention and started retracting the blade, shifting his cell to the other side to make two blades instead of one.
Fenrir pounced on the alien. Because Anubis was there, Fenrir allowed the blade to hit his left side.
He was bleeding, but he endured it. Fenrir stopped the other arm with all his strength and bit the shoulder, trying to rip it apart.
Before he succeeded, the alien spun its body to put Fenrir on the bottom, but before he could make a complete turn, Anubis wrapped his body to stop its momentum while Nathan used Deadly Claw.
The alien managed to block the Deadly Claw with its arm, but the claws pierced through its skin. If the Deadly Claw was just a bit stronger, Nathan would have cut that arm.
Without hesitation, Nathan approached the alien because the latter was trying to stab Fenrir.
Nathan wrapped that blade with the coat and pulled it. As Alisha said, the coat\'s quality was superb. Even the blade of a mutant wasn\'t enough to cut it.
As a result, Nathan could pull the blade, holding it for a moment.
Fenrir took that opportunity to slap the alien hard, banging its head to the ground.
The alien changed its target to Nathan, which caused Nathan\'s balance to shift, ultimately letting go of his coat.
"Oh shit!" Nathan gritted his teeth as the blade hit him on the arm. The coat was able to block it so that the blade didn\'t cut his arm, but the blade still reached his chest, cutting both his uniform and flesh.
Fenrir hit the alien\'s head even harder to knock it down, but the alien simply tossed Fenrir away.
Fenrir managed to land smoothly while Anubis had been healing both Fenrir and Nathan at the same time.
The alien stood up and extended all its cells into a single blade and tried to reach Nathan. Anubis had pulled him back with his bandage, and Fenrir closed in and bit the alien\'s arm. His teeth pierced through the alien\'s flesh, almost ripping it apart.
Unexpectedly, the alien showed something new. Instead of the lower arm, the alien actually extended a blade on its upper arm.
Fenrir picked up the danger with his instinct, but the blade still stabbed him, cutting a bit of his flesh. If not for his quick reaction, he would have lost a foot.
Nathan shot the alien on the head, but the alien still didn\'t die. It kept recovering, like how Nathan and Fenrir did.
If this continued, Anubis\' Ena would have run out first.
Despite his injury, Fenrir continued his relentless attack, not letting the alien get another opportunity.
Meanwhile, Nathan bit his lips, thinking, \'This is a mutant alien. I understand how a mutant can defeat three full-fledged summoners. Should we run as well? Should I buy time until Noelle is done?\'
The alien suddenly cut down the tree and kicked the trunk toward Anubis and Nathan.
"!!!" Fenrir was a bit too late in stopping it. Nathan used the Deadly Claw to cut the tree, and Anubis launched the rest away with his bandage.
However, this was just a distraction. The alien stabbed the tree stump, pulled it out of the ground, and tossed it right after.
Nathan got hit by the tree stump with enough force to blow him away.
Anubis hurriedly healed him, while Fenrir pounced on the alien again.
Nathan gritted his teeth while clutching his chest.
\'What? It can even make an attack like that? This alien is too smart… No. Rather than smart, should I say they have the ability to learn? If they actually learn from humans… no, from us, won\'t the situation become even more problematic? We have to kill the alien before it can grow even further.\' Nathan smiled wryly.
\'Someone is going to be mad, but I guess I have to do it.\'
Anubis looked worried, but Nathan passed Anubis as though he was still planning to challenge the alien.
"Anubis. Is there anyone watching us?"
"No." Anubis glanced left and right, using his senses to scan the area.
"Then, do you trust me?" Nathan asked.
"Yes!"
The moment he answered, a contract suddenly appeared between them.
The agreement was simple.
Anubis lent Nathan his super strength for one day in exchange for ten Ena.
Nathan bit his finger and used the blood to stamp on the contract.
Anubis was startled but trusted Nathan\'s plan. When he was about to use his paw to sign, he noticed the alien coming.
It seemed that the alien was aware of Nathan\'s action and chose to eliminate him first.
"Trust me!" Nathan shouted when he saw Anubis about to stop the alien instead of signing the contract.
"!!!" Anubis\' body shook as he shifted his focus back on the contract. He signed it as quickly as possible, but it was too late.
The moment the soul contract took effect and Nathan turned around, the alien was already in front of him.
The alien waved its blade from above, but Nathan managed to take a step backward and lean his body, barely avoiding the blade.
The alien didn\'t give up. It thrust its blade this time, not letting Nathan go. Anubis wanted to help, but he was a bit too slow.
"Summoner!" Anubis shouted.
The blade pierced through the side of Nathan\'s stomach.
Nathan suddenly wrapped the blade with his coat and grabbed the blade with both hands, this time, his strength was amplified by Anubis\' super strength. Despite blood leaking out of his wound and lips, Nathan smiled. "I got you!"
