Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts - Chapter 689

Chapter 689: One Direction
“Maze Runner?” Flora and Iris exchanged looks. Iris raised her hand, asking, “Does that mean you’re planning to create a labyrinth inside the slum? But it’s impossible to do it.”

Flora looked down, contemplating. “I see. You’re planning to use my earth spirit to create a wall, turning the slum into a labyrinth that they know nothing about. Then you probably want me to set up more traps to eliminate a lot of people, right?”

“Yes.” Nathan nodded.

“Still, it’s impossible, Nathan. I can’t handle all that construction by myself. Even the trap is limited.”

“No. I’m not going to ask you to turn the entire slum into a maze. I just want you to focus in a certain direction.” Nathan smirked.

“!!!” Iris seemed to have seen through Nathan’s plan. “As expected of my lord, you’re planning to hit them from one direction, correct?”

“Do you understand it?”

“Yes. By hitting them in one direction, even if those people order them to spread out, they will definitely not go in your direction. However, this will only stop one direction. We still have to block two more sides…”

“Nope. There’s no need to block them. It will require too many resources. Instead, we will create a funnel.”

“Ah!” Iris nodded furiously. “If we place one or two walls in certain places, especially at the junction, we can force them to turn in the direction we want them to. And we will gradually lead them toward a single place.

“They will feel like they have done a great job, but little do they realize they have gone toward the same destination at the very end. It’s no wonder the mission is called the Maze Runner.”

Nathan smiled and patted Iris’ head. “You are pretty smart, aren’t you? Well, I don’t think I need to tell you what you’re supposed to do next.”

“Yes. I will take another look at the map and choose the spot to build a wall.” Iris smiled, feeling proud of herself.

“Good.” Nathan turned to Flora. “Do you understand it?”

“Somewhat.” Flora nodded. “In that case, I will go around with Iris.”

“Yeah.” Nathan took out a pouch and handed it to Iris. “By the way, tell your brother Aris to take the children to the inn. Use the money here just for tonight. Make sure they clean up everything since we’ll be heading out tomorrow.

“However, don’t forget about the last mission.” Nathan winked playfully.

Iris nodded furiously. “Yes. I will make sure to empty out everything they have.”

“Great.”

Once Flora and Iris walked away, Nathan’s expression turned solemn.

“How is the situation around?” Nathan asked.

“It should be pretty stable right now.”

“Well, there’s something I’d like to discuss with them, especially Nidhogg. Can you call them for me?”

“Sure.” Anubis leaped away, leaving him alone.

While Anubis left, Nathan couldn’t help but lift his hand, forming a small sphere with his ena. It was perfectly similar to what Alan had, but unlike him, he didn’t have that much control over its form.

If it was Selena, she could probably replicate it immediately. Unfortunately, Nathan was just an ordinary person compared to those geniuses.

Still, it didn’t mean Nathan couldn’t do anything. His weapon was the knowledge and inspiration coming from all the stories he had read.

And using this new inspiration and combining it with all the existing ideas, Nathan finally found a way to beat Alan.

The only problem was how to deal with his familiars along with the rest of the summoners. Even Flora would have a hard time fighting against the other grandmaster.

“I guess I have to be a bit ruthless to my enemies…” Nathan muttered.

…

On the west side of the city, there was a pigeon soaring into the sky, heading to the west as though nothing happened.

But all of a sudden, a huge dragon took off into the sky and caught up to this pigeon.

“Look at this… They’re really sending information by birds. How cute.”

The pigeon turned pale, albeit there was nothing it could do as Nidhogg swallowed him whole.

“It doesn’t really taste good.” Nidhogg clicked his tongue before spitting out the small letter. It was so small that it looked like an ant on a human’s hand. “Anyway, my job is done here. All I need to do is stay back and relax until the next job.”

That was what he was supposed to do, but Anubis was actually waiting for him on top of a roof, staring at him with a serious expression.

“What’s wrong?” Nidhogg asked.

“Your body is so big that the people around the town must have seen you,” said Anubis casually.

“Are you picking a fight here? Besides, who cares about them?”

Anubis shook his head. “Well, I’m here to pass our summoner’s message. If you don’t have anything to do left, go back. There’s something he’d like to discuss with the rest of us, especially you.”

“!!!” Nidhogg raised his eyebrows. “Don’t tell me. It’s about that?”

“Probably.” Anubis nodded. “Anyway, you should head there and stay on the roof while looking out for another messenger. I’m going to fetch the dog.”

“Alright. I will drop you off along the way.” Nidhogg nodded and took off immediately while Anubis wrapped his bandage around his leg before getting carried into the sky. Since he might be getting some ena, he was happy enough to not care about doing any extra work.

Besides, if Nathan were to pour him some ena, it should be to reach the next stage.

Anubis couldn’t care less about Nidhogg’s thoughts. He simply loosened the bandage as soon as he saw Fenrir and landed smoothly on top of the roof.

“Oi. I’ve got a message for you. If you don’t have anything to do, you should go to him. He is probably going to become a bit crazy with his plan, so…”

“!!!” Fenrir’s eyebrows twitched. “Don’t tell me. Is he going to kill himself again?”

“Who knows? I’m going to tell that black bird anyway.” Anubis shrugged.

“Anyway, I’ll be here for a bit longer. If you end up arriving first, tell him that no suspicious person is spotted yet.”

Anubis nodded before leaping from one roof after another.
