Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

Chapter 72  Oleana Village.

The journey that was supposed to take a few hours ended in one.

As soon as they arrived, Nathan panted heavily while holding his chest as if he wanted to puke. "That was too fast."

"You have to get used to it." Noelle looked around, getting even more concerned now that they had reached the village.

Nathan squinted his eyes. Judging from the houses, the village should have close to a hundred families. Yet there wasn't a single person coming out of their house as if it had been abandoned. "Are there still people left here?"

"There are." Noelle nodded, noticing some pairs of eyes that took a peek through the small opening in their windows.

"What should we do?" Nathan asked.

Noelle stepped forth and declared out loud. "I am Noelle Flamante from the Frexia Academy. I'm a summoner that has been dispatched to take care of the problem. I need to meet the village chief or someone who can explain the situation."

The people looked confused for a moment. On the one hand, they wanted to come out. On the other hand, they feared something.

Because no one left their house, Noelle started walking into the village. "We'll find the village chief ourselves."

"Wait a minute." Nathan had an idea. "My familiar can heal. Is there anyone injured? I will be able to treat you!"

Noelle was surprised both at the offer, and how a door was suddenly opened. Instead of an adult, a boy darted out of the house with a woman's voice screaming his name. "Jonathan!"

The boy ignored his mother's warning and asked Nathan, "Can you really help my father?"

"Of course. Do you want me to help your father?"

"Nhnn." Jonathan nodded furiously.

"How about leading me to your father so I can take a look at him?" Nathan smiled.

"En!" Jonathan hurriedly ran back, signaling to Nathan to follow him.

"Looking at the situation, they are afraid of something, so there must be something scary that injures people. That's why this is the best way to get some information as well as find out about what is happening. I'm a farmer, so I know what needs to be done."

That calm judgment and innovative way impressed Noelle. She hurriedly followed Nathan.

The boy led him to his house, which made his mother angry. At the same time, she couldn't do anything to stop Nathan and Noelle.

Nathan smiled. "Hello, auntie. I am Nathan, and this is my senior, Noelle. Is the uncle there?"

"He is here!" Jonathan didn't wait for his mother to respond and immediately opened the door to his father's room.

The wooden house wasn't big, so he could easily take a peek at the man's condition just from the small opening alone.

The middle-aged man was covered in bandages. He couldn't move, but he was conscious.

"Hello, uncle. My familiar can help you. Please allow him to treat you." Nathan smiled, assuring him.

"Y…Yes…" He answered weakly, his voice was hoarse.

Nathan summoned Anubis, which startled the family since it was common knowledge that familiars were supposed to be humanoid.

"A dog?!" Jonathan gasped.

"I am no—" Anubis stopped, remembering the bet was still in effect. So he ignored Jonathan's comment and focused on the middle-aged man, even though Jonathan came and hugged him.

Anubis said, "It's a severe injury."

"Can you heal him?"

"Yeah. I might need to be a bit more serious though." Anubis approached the man and placed his paw on top of the man's stomach. Suddenly, a silver ankh appeared on top of his head.

"!!!" Noelle hadn't seen this ankh during the fight. It seemed that Anubis hadn't gone all out in their fight.

In just a few seconds of the treatment, the man's fingers had begun to move. Then his hand recovered after another few seconds. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"The pain… is gone." The middle-aged man noticed that his throat wasn't sore anymore. "I can speak again?"

It took Anubis thirty seconds to fully heal the man. He retracted his paw and said, "It's done. You should be able to move like normal."

The man followed Anubis' instructions. As he said, he could rise from his bed and move like normal as if the wound never existed in the first place.

"I…" The man gasped and fell to his knees. Even his wife and son couldn't believe it. His wife followed him while Jonathan hugged Anubis even tighter. "Good doggie!"

"Thank you very much. I don't know how to repay you."

"No need." Anubis harrumphed before disappearing into thin air.

Even though Anubis had explained to him that his healing power would actually allow a person to regain a limb, it was still amazing to find such an injury could be healed at his current power.

Nathan grabbed the man and helped him up while saying, "No need to do that. We come here because we have seen the request regarding an alien that terrorizes this village. We are from the Frexia Academy. Can you tell us what is currently happening in this village?"

"Yes." The man nodded. "It all started a week ago. We found a huge hole in our farmland, so the villagers had to take a look at the hole, but none of them came back.

"We sent the request for help, but the city didn't do anything. Two days ago, two summoners came to this place to explore the hole. They said they came from the Dextria Academy.

"Because they were summoners, they asked us for a bunch of things, from food and accommodation to the girls of the village."

"Ehm… As a fellow summoner, I apologize for their behavior." Nathan scratched the back of his head. He loves women but would never resort to such a thing.

The man shook his head. "I just want to apologize and explain the reason the villagers are afraid of summoners. They explored the giant hole yesterday, but somehow ran away. Several aliens came out of the hole, and we tried our best to repel them. Several of us died while there were a lot of injured people like me.

"The merchant came to offer us medicine at a steep price, but another hole appeared during the night and attacked the merchant."

He kneeled once again, banging his head on the floor. "I know I'm shameless for asking this because we won't be able to repay you, but please… Please save other injured villagers!"
