Chapter 78: Got You

"That's..." Nathan sucked a cold breath after seeing Anubis' attack earlier.

"What?" Anubis tilted his head in confusion.

"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.

"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!"
