Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

"What did you say?"

"The one leading that organization seems to be Evelyn Lavender," Silvania repeated herself.

Vivian clenched her hands into fists. "Are you talking about that Evelyn?"

"Yes. She should be the famous Evelyn Lavender, the woman who is known to be one of the most talented people in this world. Her talent is said to rival the Undead King in the north." Silvania nodded.

"How can you be so sure? After all, that woman is supposed to have died five years ago!"

Silvania obviously knew which incident she was talking about.

Silvania nodded. "I can assure you, Mistress. It's really her."

"What's the proof?"

"Before she took him away, she cracked the air with a snap of her fingers. When it shattered, everyone was already gone."

"Crack…" Vivian bit her lips.

"Five years ago, there was a banquet inviting all the rising stars from all over the world who are still under 30 years old. Back then, you were invited to the banquet as one of the stars.

"However, it was said that the true star in that banquet was Evelyn. Despite being one of the youngest, her strength was among the top.

"However, that banquet was soon known as the Bloody Banquet. It was attacked by an unknown force and killed a lot of the rising stars. Evelyn was supposed to have died in that banquet.

"If the person I saw was the true Evelyn, it meant she hadn't died. No, the fact she hid herself after that incident might be aligned to the organization she created. If that was the case, the unknown force that killed her… as well as the one who killed…" Silvania stopped when she saw Vivian's dark expression.

She couldn't continue. After all, that was where Vivian lost one of her familiars. It was because of that reason she was stuck at this level.

Vivian was so confident she could handle the problem, which resulted in the death of her familiar.

If she hadn't lost one familiar that day, she might probably have been stronger. It wouldn't be weird if her strength was already approaching the sage by this time.

That was why she couldn't continue. She asked, "So what should we do, Mistress? The young master has been taken away, so should we chase after her?"

Vivian took a deep breath. "No. There's no need to do so. Evelyn might be eccentric or ruthless, but she is not evil. If she took him that way, it was clear Nathan would be safe. At the very least, she would return him alive even if they had an argument."

"In that case…" Silvania's expression turned solemn. "The unknown force that attacked the banquet that day…"

"Yes. It's possible for them to be the same force that we're fighting right now. If that's the case, we have to stop them, no matter what."

"Their reason must be to kill the prominent people so that they can't develop, allowing them to control the world much easier."

"It's a possibility, but we don't know their true intentions right now." She shook her head.

"Alright. Should we inform the principal about it?"

Vivian crossed her arms. "No. Let's not. I'll just tell Nathan if he can reveal that information, he can give it to the principal directly. After all, I don't want him to be kicked from there."

"I see. He needs to gain their trust. After all, he's coming as a double agent, providing information for both sides." Silvania nodded in understanding.

"Yes. But it appears his luck has run out. Out of all people, he has to face that Evelyn."

"Hmm? Is there something wrong?"

"You might not know, but Evelyn was someone I considered a rival back then, so I studied her a lot. It was said that she had three fiances in the past. The first fiance got crushed by her and his pride shattered. It was said he became a fool after that.

"The second guy tried to molest her and ended up becoming an eunuch. The third one lost his life because he dared to threaten him.

"This would probably make him understand how to restrain his horniness." Vivian nodded in satisfaction.

"What if he ends up becoming an eunuch…" Silvania smiled wryly.

"That's not going to happen. While he is that way, he is not a fool. He knows how to act. Unless the other party is determined to kill him, I don't think he will be the one to suffer." Vivian shrugged.

"But that Noelle is still searching for him."

"Let her be. Even Sullivan wouldn't say anything if Nathan was the culprit." Vivian shrugged. "Anyway, Nathan should return pretty soon, so you can go back for now."

"Alright then." Silvania nodded as she disappeared into thin air.

…

Meanwhile, Nathan had been dragged to another place. It was a completely different place, as Evelyn was actually bringing them through a portal.

"Ouch." Nathan fell on his butt after Evelyn put him down. The assassin landed next to him.

"Where is this?" Nathan raised his head, finding himself inside a small hall. There was a round table underneath the chandelier. The wall, the ceiling, or the floor were made of wood, which made the atmosphere warmer.

Still, there was no other decoration inside this room, which made this space unusually large.

"What is this? You brought back a person, Captain?" A male's voice echoed.

Nathan shifted his vision and found a man with tan skin. From his face, he seemed to be in his mid twenties. However, Nathan could feel boundless strength from him. His eyes were glued to the pair of curved swords hanging around his waist.

"He should be the unique summoner of the Frexia Academy, Nathan." A woman was crossing her legs while examining Nathan. She had a long tobacco pipe in her hand.

"The one who is said to summon beasts?" A big man with a gentle smile clapped his hands as if he were praying.

"Why do you bring this person back, Captain? Is it because he will be our hostage? Or…" A muscular middle-aged man crossed his arms while squinting his eyes.

"He is probably going to be interesting, so I bring him back. Who knows? He might become the seventh member," Evelyn said while moving to her seat.

Still, her words couldn't help but surprise everyone.

"!!!"
