Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts - Chapter 1588: Suffering From Success

Chapter 1588: Suffering From Success

Seeing Selena and Noelle improving by leaps and bounds, Iris felt compelled to grow further.

This was the first time she had encountered such a massive improvement from both of them.

She knew they were strong, but the sudden improvement only appeared after they met Nathan.

She thought that if she couldn’t show such improvements, she would just become a burden to her teacher.

“Huu…” Iris exhaled deeply. “No. I can’t think of it that way. The more desperate I become, the farther I am from my path. As a sniper, I have to control my emotions the most. If necessary, I have to blend my own existence into the world, becoming untraceable.

“Then, I will concentrate my power and compress it as much as possible. No, wait…” Iris suddenly noticed something she was missing.

“If I have to dissolve even my own existence into nature to become a good sniper, can’t I use nature to my advantage? Getting power from nature…”

Iris raised her hand and formed a cube using her barrier. This was a pure barrier without any trace of element, as it was made purely out of her control.

She then compressed the cube as much as possible. Once she was done compressing the first one, she formed another cube and compressed it. As a result, the first compressed cube became even more compressed.

“…” Iris felt like the resistance from within the cube. If she compressed it further, the first cube would definitely explode.

But this was the time she inserted her magic power. She was trying to use her magic power to stabilize the cube and also suppress the pressure from within the cube.

As a result, she could further compress this power. The first one was purely air, while the second cube also contained her magical energy.

Then, she formed a cartridge. This was probably the limit of her ability, but she wondered how much power this compressed bullet could produce.

She inserted the bullet into her rifle and even used a few magic circles in front of the barrel to improve the strength further.

Then, she aimed it at a warrior class alien. The alien was big enough to show the destructiveness of her bullet, so she pulled the trigger.

What she didn’t expect was the fact that the bullet actually pulverized the warrior class alien.

“Eh? What?” Iris dropped her jaw. “It was supposed to explode upon hitting the alien!”

Yes, the bullet didn’t explode. It first pulverized the alien’s body and continued to travel until it hit the fortress.

Boom!

Only after hitting the ground did the bullet explode, and the explosion couldn’t be ignored either.

The explosion was actually as big as the one Selena’s blood spear produced.

“What?” Iris certainly didn’t expect the result. On the one hand, the bullet was powerful. On the other hand, it was too powerful.

If it didn’t explode according to her intention, it would definitely cause damage she never intended.

Iris didn’t know what to think anymore. She succeeded in creating an even more powerful bullet, but it didn’t work the way she intended. “Am I… suffering from success? Should I just continue with this because a more powerful alien can definitely take that hit?”

Yes, that was right. Iris had just become an arcane level summoner. Although her body possessed 4 million ena after absorbing her portion in the previous base, she had yet to become a world class summoner.

“What am I going to do with this now?” Iris smiled wryly. “Maybe I should continue to shoot them down first and ask Master later?”

Nathan would probably be surprised by her problem later, but he definitely couldn’t afford to look away.

After the bombardment, the alpha class alien had definitely sensed his divine rule. The alpha class alien emerged not long after the bombardment.

The alpha class alien this time wasn’t humanoid. It looked like a beast, but with no eyes. Its skin was so tight as if it were rubber being stretched to the limit.

It was a 5-meter-tall alien, making it big enough to be a target, but compared to Orochi, who could stretch his body to 40 to 50 meters high or Fenrir with a 20-meter-tall body after Gigantification, the alien was definitely too small.

However, this alien was trickier than the previous alpha class alien he had fought before.

The body of this alien was like rubber. Yes, the alien’s supernatural ability was related to elasticity. In addition, its power of rule should improve that ability further.

When Nathan wanted to crush the alien by using his power, the alien’s body actually recovered to its original form.

Fenrir tried to slap the alien, but it bounced on the ground without taking any injury. When he cut it with his claws, the alien actually bent and bounced his claws back at him.

Only Orochi’s attack seemed to be somehow useful. The poison was melting the rubbery skin, but with the elemental resistance that the alien possessed, it would take a massive amount of poison to even melt a part of its limb, let alone its entire body.

Nathan thought this battle would be a quick one now that he possessed a divine rule. Fenrir and Orochi were also with him.

Then again, the previous time he encountered an alpha class alien, he also had a hard time. Of course, Luna was the only one with the divine rule back then, but they had Evelyn and Regina before.

This time, Nathan had to face an alpha class alien by himself. This alien had yet to burn its lifespan in exchange for power, making it even trickier.

Nathan narrowed his eyes, observing the alien’s power.

Although calling Garuda and Xolotl would make the fight easier, Nathan figured out there was another method he could think of.

’If I can’t crush it, then I don’t have to crush it, right? Or maybe I should crush it with even more power to the point where its elasticity can’t even withstand it anymore. Still, an elasticity that can even resist the space and time destruction…’ Nathan smiled. ’Fenrir, Orochi. I’ve got a plan.”
