Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

In the cave, Nathan bit his lips, knowing that he had to find a way to escape.

"Nidhogg, Fenrir. Do your thing. Anubis, back them up." Nathan pointed at Dikkleus. "Let's go! We have to escape from this cave first."

Since they had made up their mind, they had no other choice but to go for it.

Nathan and the others charged forward. Fenrir used his Gigantification and Nidhogg took off and released his breath.

Dikkleus looked at the breath with no change of expression. When the breath reached him, a transparent barrier formed, directing the flame in all directions.

"!!!" Nidhogg widened his eyes because his breath actually failed to leave even a single scratch on that barrier.

Fenrir was closing in, but he had to climb up first before he could pounce on Dikkleus. Meanwhile, Anubis shared his Ena with those two to increase their firepower.

However, it was useless.

When Fenrir was about to reach the top, a black colored ogre appeared. The skin color of the ogre didn't come naturally. Instead, it came from the symbiote attached to the left arm.

'Are you serious? Is this ogre going to be a venom next?' Nathan gritted his teeth. He had never thought that Dikkleus actually implanted the symbiote on his own familiar.

In fact, his other familiars might have actually received the same fate. Other than Dikkleus, everything around him might have fused with the symbiotes. After all, the only thing that differentiated them was the fact they couldn't speak.

That was why Nathan shouted, "Don't mind those familiars. They have been controlled by the symbiotes, so they aren't capable of using their head."

Nathan couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows. There were simply too many questions in his mind. First of all, his fairy was capable of using the teleportation ability.

There was a chance that she wasn't controlled yet, but she might not be aware of what happened as well.

"Heh." Dikkleus smirked.

Fenrir pounced on the ogre like he did against an alien, but surprisingly, the ogre waved his blade like a warrior.

Fenrir blocked the swing with his paws, but the ogre swiftly moved to the side and kicked Fenrir off the cliff.

Nathan had to recall him first and re-summoned him to break the fall. Nidhogg formed multiple purple fireballs and scattered them. They all curved and hit Dikkleus from all directions, trying to see the shape of the transparent barrier.

As expected, it was actually a dome-shaped barrier with Dikkleus in the center. However, the problem was that the dome had actually closed the exit.

In other words, without defeating Dikkleus, they wouldn't be able to escape.

Suddenly, the ogre leaped toward Nidhogg. The latter wanted to fly away, but the ogre simply tossed his blade to Nidhogg's wing, impaling the wing.

Nidhogg let out a loud cry, which shook the entire cave. The ogre then grabbed Nidhogg and tossed him back to the ground.

The ogre then landed on the bottom like Nidhogg, facing all of them at once. Even though his sword was still on Nidhogg's wing, the ogre simply needed to raise his arm and let the symbiote form a sword.

"!!!"

It looked like the mutant he fought on the previous mission. But compared to the mutant, this ogre was much stronger.

"You don't know a single thing. During the experiment, I have figured out how the mutant is developed. If they have a better host, either from intelligence or special ability, there's a high chance for them to turn into a mutant.

"And this ogre is my first masterpiece. I'll let the ogre defeat you so that you—" Before Dikkleus could finish his words, all of a sudden, a huge red ball emerged from the ceiling and hit him.

"What?" Dikkleus widened his eyes as he raised his head, only to find the ball descended upon him. Even his transparent barrier couldn't touch it, as if the red ball didn't have any physical presence.

The moment the red ball fell upon him, it turned into a red pillar, shooting through the mountain.

"Aaaaggghhhh! Principal!" Dikkleus screamed in pain. There were several patterns on the red pillars that actually matched Dikkleus' body.

In addition, the Ena in his body became in disarray as the barrier shattered into pieces.

"Arggh!" The ogre looked like he was in pain as well.

When the pillar turned black, Nidhogg immediately grabbed Nathan with his tail and took off to the air, leaving everyone behind.

"Nidhogg?!" Nathan was startled.

"We don't have time. There is a powerful curse descending upon him! We have to take advantage of this opportunity to leave right now."

The ogre gritted his teeth as if he were enduring the pain. He wanted to chase after Nidhogg, but Fenrir immediately pounced on him.

"Go!" Fenrir shouted, pinning down the ogre on the ground.

"Where do you think you're going?!" Dikkleus waved his hand, trying to form a barrier to at least block the exit. He couldn't let Nathan out since he was his main target.

However, the scenery soon changed for him.

"!!!" Dikkleus turned his head around as he was transported to a golden courtroom. "Where is this? No, it's a domain! NO!"

Dikkleus released all his Ena, gradually distorting the domain.

Fortunately, there were still a few minutes before the contract ended, so Anubis was able to distract him for a few seconds.

When Dikkleus broke free from the domain, he tried to form the barrier, but noticed that Nathan was already gone. His familiars had also disappeared from the cave.

Because of the curse, he was unable to move at the moment.

"Damn you, Principal. Even if you're not on the island, you're still trying to hinder me. But so what? The students can't escape. There's nothing that can stop those aliens!"

That was right. Even if Nathan could escape, the aliens and Dikkleus could still capture the students as long as the barrier remained intact.

But he never assumed Vivian would be worried that the principal tried to entice her student, so she sneaked in together with him.

And that miscalculation immediately came to Nathan the moment he escaped from the cave.

All of a sudden, a vine broke through the soil and leaped like a snake, wrapping itself around Nathan's arm.

"What?" Nathan was so focused on escaping that he couldn't react to the vine, but there was no need to do so as a familiar voice rang in his head.

"This is me, the dryad. I'll be using this form to communicate with you from the outside."
