"Congratulations." The girls came to Flora. She had definitely gained a lot this time.
"Thank you." Flora nodded with a smile. "I never thought that not only could I wield an absolute element, but I also get to use two."
"It might be more in the future, right?" Sera winked playfully.
"Well, yeah... I’m just glad that I won’t disappoint you all." Flora smiled. If she could wield many absolute elements, she might have to change her role.
She usually became the support of the team and only hit the enemy to deal damage or restrain them.
With the power of absolute elements, she could easily injure her opponent. By wielding many absolute elements at once, her combat power might rival the likes of Selena, Luna, or even Noelle.
While the others were congratulating her, Selena sneaked away and reported to Nathan. "As you expected, we couldn’t gain the connection to the summoning system. I tested it with the girls, but none of us could achieve the summoning."
"I might not be able to do it as well, but I need to try."
"Are you going to summon a new familiar? It’s already your thirteenth..."
"I intend to have fifteen familiars. There will come a day when we need firepower, so fifteen is a good number."
Selena thought for a moment. "Understood. More than that will make it harder for you to manage them, not to mention the enormous ena you need to bring them to their peak state."
"Yeah. Besides, I can always lower the number. It’s not that I will not summon them anymore, but there’s a chance that, with Anubis’ power and my Soul Contract after getting upgraded one last time, I can fully resurrect someone."
"Including yourself?"
"I don’t know about that. After all, I’m technically alive and have a body. Other familiars, however, don’t have the bodies. For now, that’s the general idea. If I can fully resurrect them, they won’t be bound to me anymore, but I believe in them."
"I will trust your judgment on that. In that case—" Before she finished, Flora already leaped toward Nathan. "Darlinggggggg!"
"Congratulations." Nathan stroked her hair while smiling.
"It’s all thanks to you. Don’t you think I should reward you plenty?" Flora grinned, teasing Nathan.
"Haha. That can wait. For now, I have something to do."
"Oh." Flora nodded. She was happy, but she didn’t want to waste Nathan’s time. Although reluctant, she stepped back.
Nathan patted her head and slid his hand down to her cheek before walking away.
Selena led him to the summoning circle.
"So, what are you going to do, Summoner?" Tiamat asked. She was wondering if Nathan was going to enhance his familiars or summon her husband.
"I guess today is your lucky day, Tiamat." Nathan nodded.
"What? You mean..."
"Yeah. Provided he has a physical body, that of a divine beast. After all, I can only summon a divine beast."
"Don’t worry about that. Just take a look at my body. While it’s true that I have the body of a dragon, my body is actually formed by saltwater. I’m the personification of saltwater after all. My husband has a similar dragon body made by the sweet underground water."
"Oh, is that why your energy is flowing so fast?"
"Yes, I have a roiling body of water, but I’ve fixed my appearance this way. My husband is the same, but his form is slightly different from mine," Tiamat reassured Nathan.
"In that case, I will need a part of you as the connection to him."
"Of course. Just take this." Tiamat suddenly grabbed her left arm and severed it without hesitation. Water gushed out of her body.
Nathan was a bit surprised that she did it without hesitation. It looked like she missed her husband a lot. And this was probably the first time he had seen Tiamat injured.
Instead of blood, she really spurted water.
"Oi, I’m the one who needs to heal that!" Anubis sighed and leaped toward her.
"Is that so? Sorry." Tiamat didn’t care whether she had to lower herself since she was too happy that she could finally reunite with her husband.
"Besides, you won’t regret summoning my husband, Summoner. He’s strong like me. He may not be the sharpest, but he’s definitely a fighter. If not for Ea tricking him, we would have wiped those gods."
"I don’t know if I should be happy or not when you’re talking about a massacre, even though I know it’s justifiable from your story." Nathan chuckled.
"Ah, I don’t want you to misunderstand." Tiamat became restless, trying to fix the misunderstandings.
"It’s fine. I’m just teasing you. Besides, we are a family. I’ve also promised you that I will summon your husband. Even if I don’t summon him now, I will summon him as my fourteenth or fifteenth familiar. Since there’s no opposition right now, I might as well summon him early."
"Thank you."
"Thank me after we’ve successfully summoned your husband. After all, there is basically no guarantee that I will be able to summon your husband."
Tiamat firmly nodded.
"By the way, why did you choose to summon a new familiar this time, Summoner?" Anubis asked.
"I just used a bit too much ena earlier."
"Really? How much did you spend?" Anubis thought he would only use ten million, but since there was a clause that he would pay the excess ena, it was understandable even if he paid twenty million. After all, he even used a portion of that power to turn a normal lightning element into an absolute lightning element.
"It’s about 40 million."
"That much?" Anubis was stupefied. "The lightning element shouldn’t cost too much ena, so that means the absolute ice element..."
"No, it’s the other way around. The absolute ice element doesn’t cost much. On the other hand, her lightning element has been integrated with the divinity, so in a way, the universe has to separate her lightning element from her divinity first, then turn it into an absolute lightning element before reattaching it to her divinity."
"Oh!" Anubis nodded in understanding. "That makes sense."
"Anyway, let’s handle the summoning first." Nathan reached the summoning circle, but he suddenly said, "Hmm? I can’t feel the connection."
"!!!"
