"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) de, cutting down the tree in its path.


    Fenrir struck the de with all his strength while Anubis bound the de, stopping it.


    After that, Fenrir tried to push down the de so that the alien''s body would fall down following the de.


    Sadly, the alien had noticed his intention and started retracting the de, shifting his cell to the other side to make two des instead of one.


    Fenrir pounced on the alien. Because Anubis was there, Fenrir allowed the de 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 seeded, the alien spun its body to put Fenrir on the bottom, but before he could make aplete turn, Anubis wrapped his body to stop its momentum while Nathan used Deadly w.


    The alien managed to block the Deadly w with its arm, but the ws pierced through its skin. If the Deadly w was just a bit stronger, Nathan would have cut that arm.


    Without hesitation, Nathan approached the alien because thetter was trying to stab Fenrir.


    Nathan wrapped that de with the coat and pulled it. As Alisha said, the coat''s quality was superb. Even the de of a mutant wasn''t enough to cut it.


    As a result, Nathan could pull the de, holding it for a moment.


    Fenrir took that opportunity to p the alien hard, banging its head to the ground.


    The alien changed its target to Nathan, which caused Nathan''s bnce to shift, ultimately letting go of his coat.


    "Oh shit!" Nathan gritted his teeth as the de hit him on the arm. The coat was able to block it so that the de didn''t cut his arm, but the de 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 tond 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 de 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 de on its upper arm.


    Fenrir picked up the danger with his instinct, but the de 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 toote in stopping it. Nathan used the Deadly w to cut the tree, and Anubisunched 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 be 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 nning to challenge the alien.


    "Anubis. Is there anyone watching us?"


    "No." Anubis nced 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 n. When he was about to use his paw to sign, he noticed the aliening.


    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 toote.


    The moment the soul contract took effect and Nathan turned around, the alien was already in front of him.


    The alien waved its de from above, but Nathan managed to take a step backward and lean his body, barely avoiding the de.


    The alien didn''t give up. It thrust its de this time, not letting Nathan go. Anubis wanted to help, but he was a bit too slow.


    "Summoner!" Anubis shouted.


    The de pierced through the side of Nathan''s stomach.


    Nathan suddenly wrapped the de with his coat and grabbed the de 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!"
