Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

His wife grinned. "I told you that Victor had trapped her into a duel. The duel is simple. It\'s to let their vampire fight for them. Selena might be able to summon a countess as her first familiar, but she could do nothing against Victor\'s fourth familiar. After all, he is able to summon a marquis!"

The count\'s body trembled. He looked down as his expression darkened.

His wife was smiling and continued talking about what had happened. "That\'s right. If he wins, Selena will drop out of the academy and marry someone according to the family\'s will. This is our chance. We can finally put that lowly blood in her place."

The count started gnashing his teeth, as he couldn\'t help but ask with a frustrated tone. "What if she wins?"

"There\'s no need to think about it. A countess can\'t win against a marquis. In addition, Victor\'s fourth familiar has a lot of Ena. Unless her countess has over five times his Ena, it\'s impossible to defeat him. Selena can\'t do anything because she doesn\'t receive support from anyone. Wait.

There is also that commoner who can\'t do anything."

The count stood up.

His wife thought they had done a good thing. She smirked, as if she wanted the count to thank her.

However, the count first approached her before slapping her as hard as he could. "You idiot!"

That slap launched his wife into the corner of the room until she hit the wall.

"Gah!" His wife spat out a mouthful of blood as two of her teeth fell off. "W-What are you doing? Is this how you\'re showing your gratitude?!"

"You idiot! Who is the one challenging it? It must be Selena, right? Why can\'t you even realize how foolish you are? Is this how you teach your son?"

"What?!" His wife wanted to release her anger.

Unfortunately, it was impossible. The count shouted, "That wench hid her plan for a decade so that she could escape to the Frexia Academy. She hid her feelings and emotions, making us lower our guard. Do you think someone like her is unable to control her emotions? The reason she is showing her fang right now is because she has a high chance to succeed! Why can\'t you even realize this?"

"What?" His wife was dumbstruck.

"I married you just for the justification. I won\'t hesitate to kick you out of the house!"

Sadly for them, it was already too late. The match was about to begin.

…

Frexia Academy.

"This is going to be good."

"Selena Ashton can just die. She can only sell her body."

"Right? This is a disappointment. Where is her pride as a summoner?"

The students had less favorable opinions about Selena, which caused the atmosphere to be bad. Nathan and Serafina were sitting next to each other, watching this match.

Obviously, a lot of people were staring at Nathan since he was indirectly involved in this battle.

The teacher looked at both parties and said, "I will now check with both parties regarding the bet. If Selena wins, the Ashton family will acknowledge and apologize for their mistreatment of Selena."

"Correct." Selena nodded.

"If Victor wins, Selena will drop out of the academy and fulfill her obligation as a noble daughter. Is that correct?"

"Correct." Victor nodded.

"The rule for this battle is simple. Both parties aren\'t allowed to use their Ena. They may only summon one vampire familiar. Everything will be settled by the said familiar. Anyone who breaks the rule will be disqualified and I, as the teacher, will step in."

Selena and Victor moved back, taking their position. Selena summoned Risa. There didn\'t seem to be anything weird from Risa.

It raised Victor\'s confidence, fully aware that he would be the one winning this match.

"To think that it would be this easy to make you drop out. I should have done this from the beginning." Victor smirked.

"You\'re an utter fool." Selena shook her head helplessly.

"What did you say?"

The teacher stepped in and said, "Any disagreement can be solved in the match." As soon as their expressions turned serious, the teacher announced, "Begin!"

Risa immediately flew forward. The vampire Victor summoned was as young as one would expect from someone living as long as a vampire.

He had blond hair and a pair of red eyes. Since his opponent was a countess, he had absolute confidence he would win.

That was why he had a big smile on his face.

Once the battle started, he also flew forward.

The nails on Risa\'s fingers were extended while the other vampire waved his hand, sending forth a crescent-shaped blood attack toward Risa. The latter raised both hands, cutting this attack with all her strength.

"Hoh? Not bad." The vampire smiled.

"Not bad? Kill her!" Victor shouted.

"Well, it seems my master wants you dead. Although I don\'t have any grievances against you, I have no choice but to kill you, little beauty." The vampire smirked and flew forward.

Risa also did the same, but the vampire suddenly waved his hands up.

All of a sudden, blood started to appear out of thin air. It was surging and forming a massive bubble in the air.

Risa summoned her tornado and tried to destroy this huge ball sphere. To her surprise, it only splashed a bit of the blood, which caused nothing to the overall sphere.

"This is the difference in our strength!" The vampire snapped his fingers. Suddenly, the blood spheres started to split into a hundred small spheres.

"!!!" Risa looked shocked and immediately summoned blood bats.

"Blood Rain!" The vampire waved down his hand. In that instant, all those small spheres fell like rain, piercing all the blood bats. Risa controlled the blood bats to cover her body, which barely succeeded in stopping the blood rain, but the vampire took this time to approach Risa since her vision was covered by the blood bats earlier.

"Kill her." Victor pumped his fist, believing this was the victory. As he expected, it was easy to defeat Selena.

That was when Selena smiled.

The vampire waved his hand to slice her body. However, the vampire suddenly froze as if he felt a powerful suppression from his bloodline.

"!!!" The vampire widened his eyes in shock, but lowering his guard for a split second was the last thing he was supposed to do.

Risa moved swiftly and sliced his right arm and right wing with her nail.

"Aaaargghhhh!"
