Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

"…"

Nathan and the others were stunned. How come all of a sudden, there were so many blacksmiths able to join them?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

It was as if Elysion had predicted this entire thing.

Nathan glanced at Vivian, wondering if she knew something.

Vivian thought for a moment. "Now that I think about it, he has told me that if you need something from him, you should go to his place and ask him personally. Of course, you need to pay the price. I didn't really want you to sacrifice yourself or something, but those words might have a different meaning… Do you know anything about him?"

"No. This is the first time I've heard about him." Nathan shook his head.

Ryan and Melissa gasped, wondering what kind of monster Nathan was to be able to pique the interest of the world's strongest.

"Are you sure your parents here are your biological parents? Maybe you are his secret child or something? Didn't you say you had an enormous amount of ena before coming here?" Charlotte chuckled, teasing him.

To everyone's surprise, no one was actually laughing as if they were considering such a thing.

"What secret child?" Nathan shook his head helplessly. "I thought you were a researcher… Maybe you could be an author of children's picture books."

Charlotte shrugged. "Just saying. Well, if he has given the blacksmiths, shouldn't that be quite good for our condition? Less experienced blacksmiths can work on the cloud-repelling device, while the more experienced ones can focus on the magic weapons." Read exclusive content at empire

Vivian nodded in agreement. "With the addition of the Blacksmith Guild, it should be doable, right?"

Ryan considered it carefully. "Yes. It's doable."

Vivian turned back to Nathan, who gave his approval. "In that case, Mr. Ryan Reeves. Please take care of the blacksmiths. No one is more experienced and more skilled than you are here, so I hope you can lead them."

"Are you sure to let me know who is an outsider to lead them?"

"Yes."

"All right. I will do my best." Ryan nodded in agreement.

Nathan turned to Melissa. "In that case, please focus on the cloud-repelling device. Once the design has been completed, we'll immediately inscribe the power into it."

"Sure." Melissa playfully winked.

Nathan politely nodded to them. "My job is done here."

"Yep. I will call you once we've finished the prototype. It's best to have you monitor our place for the time being."

Nathan nodded and walked out of the tent. The Dragon King was confused at first since they ended up deciding everything the moment they heard the news.

Ultimately, he just followed Nathan.

"Is everything good?" The Dragon King asked.

"Pretty much?" Nathan shrugged. He looked around, noticing that the ground had been covered in ash. "There's already so much ash here, huh?"

"Yeah. We expect that most ash will fall down in the first few days. The latter will be gradual. However, no one knows how much ash will fall down to the ground."

"Have you made an area to store the ash? Of course, if possible, near the fields. We have to use them for the soil after all."

"Yep. My people are working on it right now. Besides, the water facility has been completed as well. We will probably have to renew it with a much better material later, but for now, everything is working smoothly right now."

"That's great." Nathan nodded. "Smoothly, huh?"

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Nathan shrugged. There was no way he could say that there was nothing that would work smoothly in his life.

Nevertheless, there was another thing he was curious about. Why would Elysion care so much about him? He had never seen him.

"Sir Dragon King."

The Dragon King acted as if he didn't hear it.

Nathan's eyebrows twitched. "Father-in-law."

"Yes?" The Dragon King smiled sweetly.

"Why are you acting this way?" Nathan sighed. "My goodness. Anyway, do you know what kind of person Elysion Aquamoon is?"

"Not really? I have never met him, but I have heard a few things about him. It's said that his ability is so great that no one can replace him as the world's strongest until he dies. In addition, he is still pretty young right now. If I recall correctly, he's only 39 years old right now.

"If you piss him off, it's the same as if you get the invitation to the underworld, so no one really wants to provoke him.

"No one really knows what he is thinking because he has been holing up in his castle in the Land of Death most of the time. Of course, other than his castle, the only place he visits is the front line, like getting some cores and stuff like that. But he always goes alone.

"That's why there's not really much information about him." The Dragon King shrugged.

Nathan squinted his eyes. 'But that would soon end? If it was still the same person, he wouldn't send those blacksmiths or give my teacher the elite class cores. No. Is he just pretending or lying low the whole time? Is he trying to do something? Why would such a person suddenly get involved in all this?'

Nathan couldn't help but feel suspicious.

…

Land of Death.

"Everything has been sent pretty nicely. Why are you scheming like this? This is not like you. Besides, will they even believe you? And when am I supposed to meet my brother? Let's go to that place right now. Don't hole up in this castle the whole time, you nerd." Hel looked annoyed.

Elysion had a sad smile on his face. "The reasons why the world fell in the past were because they underestimated the aliens. They suffered a massive defeat in the first battle, which caused the front line to collapse. If they hadn't, they might buy enough time for other people to create something that could change the world.

"While it's true that I don't plan to get deeply involved, it's time to make some moves."

"So, you're finally planning to leave this castle?"

Elysion smiled, not denying or confirming. He just walked away.

"This shut-in. You don't even have a chain that binds you, unlike my brother or me." Hel shook her head helplessly.
