"!!!" Nathan, Selena, and Risa could hear those sounds. With the aliens in front of them letting out their screams as well, they knew that these aliens would be coming soon.
"There are three of them!" Risa shouted, warning the two.
Without hesitation, Nathan said, "Selena, you take care of them. I'll be holding back these four aliens by myself."
"But—"
"Just do it! Kill them fast enough that you can help me quickly!"
Selena didn't argue anymore since it would just be a waste of time and worsen the condition. As Nathan said, sending her away was the best chance they could get since Selena would be able to kill them faster than Nathan.
The two aliens obviously chased after her, but Nathan grew the claw to become a barrier that stopped the two aliens. "Your opponent is me."
The alien that was in the air earlier had landed, the other alien had broken free from the Deadly Claw, and the two aliens had decided to change their target to Nathan.
Two aliens were his current limit, so he knew he was screwed when he had to fight four aliens at once.
Risa had dealt a lot of damage to her opponents, but she still needed some time to kill them.
"In this scenario, there is only one thing I can do." Nathan muttered as he turned around. He was currently surrounded from three directions. It meant that there was one direction to escape. And that was what he did.
"Run." Nathan grinned. Just like how the first spar with Alisha unfolded, Nathan really ran away from his opponents.
Because Selena and Risa were much farther than Nathan, and proto-class aliens weren't as smart as the juvenile class alien that could switch its target depending on circumstances, the four aliens ended up chasing after Nathan.
Of course, Nathan cherished his life, but he was no coward. What he wanted to do was move behind a tree. The alien might not need their eyes to navigate around, but the tree would definitely become an obstacle for them.
They had no choice but to avoid the trees before reaching him. It was at that time Nathan used Deadly Claws with both hands.
The two aliens on the furthest side blocked the Deadly Claws with their bodies, leaving only two aliens coming straight at him.
Nathan recalled the Deadly Claw and raised his stance. The alien on the left pounced on him while the one on the right punched him from the side, but this was why Nathan chose to fight behind a tree.
Since both of them were separated, Nathan could leap toward the alien on the left. It had lost one of its arms from Deadly Claw, so it was significantly weaker than the one on the right.
The alien on the right missed Nathan and corrected his trajectory once he landed, but it gave Nathan a chance to fight this injured alien for a brief moment.
Nathan offered the alien his hand, which its teeth couldn't penetrate. The alien's tails moved like a snake, but Nathan punched the alien's belly first and used the Deadly Claw to stab it.
The alien screamed in pain, but before Nathan could slice it up, the alien from the furthest left had reached him, slamming its entire body against him.
Nathan managed to avoid falling with lots of small steps, but he ended up too much to the right, which meant the alien on the furthest right was able to catch up to him.
The alien smacked his back and launched him to the side.
*Cough!*
*Cough!*
Nathan could taste blood in his mouth.
It was truly hard to fight several aliens at once. If he focused on two, the other two would come from unexpected angles. He knew that he had to play it safe, but there were simply too many aliens, and running away was not an option because Selena and Risa were here.
Nathan took a glance at everything around him. He used Deadly Claw on a tree beside him before kicking the top part of the trunk to fall toward one of the aliens, stopping its movement for a bit.
After that, he picked up the smaller plates and tossed them at the aliens.
Unexpectedly, the aliens grabbed the circle plates with their mouths, making Nathan want to scream, 'What the heck? Are you a dog?'
On the other hand, the humanoid alien grabbed it with both hands before tossing it back.
Nathan slapped it away, but with only the three of them, he thought he got a better chance. If he did it right, he could eliminate at least one alien.
He dropped the wooden plate since he could use it as a shield later. Surprisingly, Nathan allowed the alien in front of him to pounce on him.
Nathan grabbed the alien's head that kept trying to bite him like an angry dog. The two aliens approached him from both sides, while the fourth alien would be coming soon.
Sadly, before those aliens could do anything to him or Nathan launched his plan, Fenrir suddenly slapped the alien on his hands. The alien's neck snapped as its body spun in the air.
After that, Fenrir waved his tail to the right, which slashed the alien's face, deep enough to kill the alien. The latter was so focused on Nathan that it didn't protect itself.
Fenrir then struck the alien on the left. It was able to clash with Fenrir four times, but Fenrir already had strength enhancement. Each time they exchanged blows, the alien broke its hands before its arms.
Fenrir hurriedly launched the alien with his fifth strike, leaving only the fourth alien. Fenrir landed on top of Nathan's body, but surprisingly, he didn't put much pressure on it.
He leaped at the alien, using his strength to suppress the two hands. The alien tried to bite Fenrir, but the latter was one step ahead.
"Graa!" Fenrir bit the alien first and tore it apart. He coolly tossed the head away before checking on Nathan.
Nathan felt relieved after seeing that familiar face.
"Yo." Fenrir grinned as if he enjoyed the sight of his pathetic summoner. At the same time, he was impressed that Nathan could hold on for so long with some cheap tricks.
Nathan let out a tired sigh while saying, "Just for your information, everything was still going according to plan. I could defeat them even if you didn't come."
Fenrir's smile widened a little bit but wasn't enough for Nathan to notice. "Just stay there. I'll take care of the rest. Good work, my summoner."
Nathan was taken aback when Fenrir called him his summoner instead of a brat. While he didn't manage to defeat all these aliens by himself, he got Fenrir's recognition.
"Ha…" Nathan just continued lying down while saying, "That doesn't sound too bad."
