Chapter 46 Nathan's Second Familiar
Unlike Rudeus, who created turbulence, or August, who had a tranquil summoning, Nathan actually caused a temperature drop.
The stick and banana floated into the air, with the banana specifically moving to the tip of the staff and expanding.
Nathan widened his eyes in shock. 'Wait, wait, wait. Why is the banana expanding? It's not supposed to be about the shape. Do I have to bring a monkey instead? A banana should be enough, but why is it expanding as if it's...'
Nathan suddenly gulped down when he took another look at the shape the light formed. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
It was like a slap directly on his face from the great sage himself.
'Sun Wukong has a rebellious nature, unyielding spirit, and refusal to submit to authority...' Nathan gasped.
He might have miscalculated one thing. Even if he could summon Sun Wukong, Sun Wukong had to agree to respond to his call.
In other words, Sun Wukong still had the option to refuse, which in fact aligned with his nature, as described in his legend.
Yes, Nathan had miscalculated how accurate the legend could be in the summoning.
'Is it because there is someone who has summoned Sun Wukong in this world?' Nathan muttered inwardly. He didn't want to believe that he failed to get his biggest idol, Sun Wukong, but it was because of his personality that he idolized him.
There were mixed feelings. On the one hand, he was disappointed that he couldn't get Sun Wukong. On the other hand, he couldn't find fault in him.
Instead of Ruyi Jingu Bang, the banana was stretched to the limit, forming a long shaft sitting on top of the tip of the staff.
From the tips of the shaft dropped a small circle. It was hard to see, but there were thin lines connecting the tips, which made Nathan sure what item was reflected before him.
'No way. This is a scale? No. Is this the scale that weighs your heart?' Nathan didn't know whether he should laugh or cry.
'However, I have to think about their characteristics as well. Sun Wukong has rebelled against the emperor of heaven, so he wouldn't receive my call. And even if I summon him, I might not be able to control him.
'Anubis is different. He oversaw mummification, weighed souls, guided the dead into the afterlife, defended against chaos, and punished those who violated the tombs. This world might be interesting for him, since he could see a different life cycle with his own eyes.
Anubis walked toward Nathan and said, "There are probably a lot of things we need to discuss, but I'll take care of you."
Nathan smiled. "Thank you."
Anubis could return by himself, unlike Fenrir. Then again, Fenrir told him that he received a portion of knowledge when coming to this new world. Anubis must have gotten the knowledge about summoning, as Nathan had more knowledge compared to when he first came to this world.
Little did they know, Alisha was observing the entire ritual with her own eyes. She couldn't help but gasp, thinking, 'Young Master really summoned another beast, and it didn't seem to be an ordinary beast.
'The mistress is right. Young Master is just unique. I have to report this to the mistress right away so that the young master won't be snatched by anyone.
'Still, his second familiar... why did it give off the feeling of the south?' Alisha shook her head. She could ask it later after reporting about the second familiar.
Nathan, on the other hand, returned to his seat under the shocked gazes. He acted as if he hadn't done something special before noticing that Fenrir hadn't been recalled.
Nathan tried to disconnect the link between them before he got punished, but before Fenrir was gone, the latter came to a realization.
'Ah! That familiar feeling... It gave the same feeling from Helheim. Don't tell me. Someone actually mixed an item contaminated with death?' he thought before disappearing.
...
Blacksmith Guild.
An elder dwarf was hammering a new weapon as another dwarf entered his workshop. "Oi! The Forest Queen expressed her satisfaction with that staff."
"Is that so? Well, she saved me in the past, so with this, the debt has been repaid. I have even used my precious material from the land of death in the south." The elder dwarf smiled proudly.
