Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

“Essentially, fatal.”

Nathan crossed his arms. “To make it not fatal, you need great control over it.”

“That’s right. To stop this element from acting like they rule this place and creating chaos, you are utilizing a huge amount of your energy to suppress them. It’s basically outnumbering them at this point.

“That’s why the second thing you need is good enough control to do it. This is also the reason the Frexia Academy only teaches it in your second year.

“If you fail to achieve this, there’s only one result: death. With such a high risk, not many people try to risk it.”

Nathan paused for a moment. “Still, the benefit of having a lifebound contract is huge.”

“Yes, but no one really wants to die.”

“Fair enough.”

Evelyn continued, “Once you have enough control to suppress them, how should you proceed next?”

Nathan thought for a moment. “If we’re still using the human example, we will just let it be for a period of time. The elements will gradually become a member of the new tribe and mingle with the people in their new home.”

“Indeed. That’s how an element source forms in our body. However, this is not stable yet. Why?

Nathan frowned. “I’m not sure this time. Once they mingle with the locals, shouldn’t they follow the rules of the locals?”

“Look at the bigger picture.” Evelyn shook her head. “Who makes the bridge?”

“!!!” Nathan raised his eyebrows. “So, you’re saying there will be a dispute regarding the people?”

“That’s right. If we look at the bigger picture, you and your familiar are like two kings governing two different kingdoms. The border is the connection between you, which previously has been blocked by a huge river. Now that the bridge allows them to cross over, who makes the bridge?”

“Both? Or maybe the human?”

“The answer is both. When you visit a different country, what will happen on the border?”

“Ah! It’s a transition zone that is ruled by both kingdoms, with their own set of rules. However, to form this border…”

“That’s right. You can think of it as two rulers have finally agreed on one side to send their people to the other side. However, to ensure everything is formed correctly, you need to have an agreement. And this agreement…”

“…is a lifebound contract!” Nathan’s eyes lit up.

“This lifebound contract can be simple. Because you are not in this category, I won’t have to further explain it. Now, do you see the difference between you and normal people?”

“Yes. I’m aware to this extent, even though I haven’t learned about the lifebound familiar before since I have never needed it.”

“Fair enough.” Evelyn raised one finger. “To put it simply, your element source is here. Meanwhile, my element source is in my heart. Your element source links all your organs, including your brain. Meanwhile, my element source links only with the heart.

“Your element source is similar to the familiar’s element source, which can grow limitlessly. Meanwhile, my source is relying on the growth of my familiar. Of course, with a lifebound contract, you can have your familiar work hard advancing their power, but unlike us, you don’t have to rely on anyone else or be bound by a set of rules.”

Nathan fell into deep thought. “If that’s the case, does that mean I can wield another element?”

“…” Evelyn sighed. “Theoretically, it’s possible. Unlike us, you can indeed have such a thing. Meanwhile, if we take another element…”

Evelyn snapped her finger again, this time bringing a grass to fuse it with another thread. This time, the thread became green.

The problem was that the green and brown links suddenly clashed, causing it to be unstable. It looked like it could explode at any moment.

“Do you see it?”

Nathan’s expression turned solemn. “If you attempt such a thing, the link will become unstable. Depending on the elements, it might even burst right away.”

“Yes. Once it bursts, you will die. That’s why no one really attempts such a thing.”

“But you…” Nathan frowned. Evelyn had two elements. Although he knew she was forced to do it, she managed to live for so long.

Evelyn nodded. “Indeed, and I am still alive. Unlike anyone who has made such an attempt. In fact, it is a miracle that I managed to survive when I merged it in the first place.

“Of course, there are still side effects, even though I have mastered this power. One of them is my hair turning silver. You should have seen me in that form too.”

“Yes. Still, one of the side effects, huh? What are the other side effects?”

Evelyn narrowed her eyes. “Do I need to tell you?”

“…” Nathan scratched the back of his head. “Yes, but you may tell me at a more appropriate time.”

Evelyn’s eyebrows twitched as Nathan clearly implied he was going to have her heart in the future, so she should tell him about it at that time.

Nathan couldn’t help but wonder. Was it possible to move the element source from one’s heart to another place? Or could his contract become a vessel that hosted the element?

Now that he had the ability to contract something man-made, element sources should also be considered one. After all, element sources were something created by the hosts to control nature.

In fact, with the new upgrade, Nathan couldn’t help but think of another possibility of using the soul contract. Could he transfer someone’s lifespan to himself? It was, in the end, an agreement between the two. He remembered the novel about a time merchant trading lifespans as a commodity.

He thought it was impossible because when the contract was upgraded for the first time, the intangible thing didn’t include lifespans. But that was because the intangible thing in question was something that nature provided.

So, if this man-made item included lifespans, Nathan could become an immortal if he wanted it. At the same time, it felt like it wasn’t a good idea because he might also get the karma they were supposed to accumulate during that traded lifespan.

Nathan wanted to know if his innate ability could resolve the side effect Evelyn was currently experiencing. This should be enough for a payment. No, he might make Evelyn owe him heavily.

Unfortunately, Evelyn didn’t seem to be planning to reveal her circumstances yet.
