Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

Evelyn looked surprised. "I haven't thought about it. Let's see… I think it's more accurate to say that I have been controlling nature rather than creating something.

"I think the same can be applied to other elements, whether they're basic elements like fire or a special element like Bella's mist.

"It's already there, but one can't see it. When they provide their enas and utilize their abilities, they are like… manifesting them. I think this is the best description I can give."

Nathan nodded in understanding. "If that's the case, can you tell me more about your space elements?"

"Hmm. I have a total of six abilities for space elements. The first one is blink, allowing me to teleport a short distance spontaneously.

"The second ability is a short-distance teleportation that can affect me and others. The third ability is 'Spatial Crack,' or more like a spatial distortion. I'm sure you have seen them.

"The fourth ability is to create a void that can absorb almost everything, throwing them into nothingness.

"The fifth ability is the long-distance portal, which is what I've been using most of the time. Last but not least, a domain. Not that I'm planning to show you, or are you going to insist on showing it to you?"

Nathan waved his hand. "No. That's fine. Instead, I have some questions. It appears that your abilities use more energy the more people it affects and the more effect you desire, correct?"

"Yes. That's true. In fact, it doesn't need to be an element. Look at this…" Evelyn pointed her palm at him.

Suddenly, the ena started to surround his body until one point where it felt like he was being squeezed by the ena. Then, she gradually raised her hand, which caused his body to be lifted up.

"This is pure control over one's ena. This definitely requires more ena than levitating yourself. At the same time, you have ena in your own body, which can be used to neutralize mine.

"Because of that, it's obvious you're going to use more ena when you get more people involved."

Nathan raised one finger. "In that case, regarding your portal. What is the difference between the void and a portal that connects two places? I mean, I understand the void itself, so what I'm asking is something like the process or even the portals themselves. Are there any differences between the two portals?"

"Hmm. You have been asking some weird questions that I have never bothered to ask myself." Evelyn frowned.

"Sorry."

"No. I just understand why Vivian Lorelei takes you in." Evelyn shook her head. "The difference between the two… Let's see… I think it's easier to explain it using the normal portal.

"When I create a portal that connects two places, I first create a portal in front of me. After that, I'm figuring out where I'm planning to go. For example, I want to head 200 km (120 miles) to the north. I will be shrinking the space between them and compressing them to a single line so that you can basically come to that place just by crossing the portal.

"For the teleportation portal, it is more like a beacon that can create a signal from one point to another. This way, I don't have to compute the space between them, for example, the elevation, the ground, or even the obstacles like a mountain. It's bad to teleport into an unknown mountain's belly.

"On the other hand, the void portal is something that I don't have to compress. After all, all the space compressed in a single line can be described as a void. It's like a different place where there's only nothingness inside."

Nathan raised a finger. "So, let me clarify this a bit. First of all, you need an element. The element is basically turning your body into a kind of beacon, similar to the summoning. Instead of familiar, it is for an element in nature.

"How to get that element? You will need to have a lifebound familiar, which is basically allowing you to share your life or something. It can be said that your familiars are the original beacons of those elements. And turning them into a lifebound familiar will make you share their identity as a beacon of elements.

"This is the fundamental concept of a lifebound familiar and element. Once you become a beacon, you can change the way nature works by using your ena. The consumption is based on several things.

"Once everything is established, you can finally master your own elements. Is that correct?"

"Well, this is the first time someone uses the term 'beacon' for comparison. But I don't think you are wrong."

Nathan thought, 'If this is the case, contracting the time element is possible. However, instead of the world's time, I should contract my body's time. For example, allowing me to accelerate my own body. But if this happens, won't I age faster? What if I become an old man when I'm just 30 years old due to the excessive usage of this ability?

'In that case, I should carefully select abilities that are overpowered but don't have big flaws that will ultimately harm me.

'Then, after testing things, I can start moving toward other people or even the natural law itself.

'Wait a minute. If all of this is true, what about the Soul Contract? If I try to establish the Soul Contract with the concept of the element, what I've been doing is basically the second stage, where I use it to affect me and the others.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

'The third stage is allowing me to control the element, which is a kind of gaining access to the natural law itself.

'How about the first stage? Now that I think about it, have I ever used the soul contract on myself?

'While a contract is normally something based on two parties, there are a few things I can do to myself, like using the contract to hypnotize myself and turn me into a berserker or something.

'No, wait. Have I used the Soul Contract on myself when I came to this world, erasing my own memory? This is another possibility that I have to consider…'

Nathan's expression turned solemn. The more he learned about the elements, the clearer the picture behind his summoning was. Unfortunately, he still couldn't picture the general idea behind his summoning, but he was sure the Soul Contract was involved.
