Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts - Chapter 1408

Chapter 1408: Surrounded
The emperor’s expression turned cold. “What’s wrong? Are you not going to answer the emperor?”

The left guardian realized he had been tricked. He looked left and right before leaping toward the emperor.

“Your Majesty!”

Evelyn suddenly appeared before him as the left guardian extended his hand while Evelyn hit his hand with her elements.

Both of their energies erupted as the room suddenly exploded.

Boom!

The explosion was so loud that the people in the imperial palace were startled. All of them were confused, thinking that the imperial palace had been attacked.

Nathan had used his teleportation to bring Johnson and stationed themselves in front of the emperor to ensure his protection. Meanwhile, Evelyn would be fighting the left guardian.

However, the moment the room was blasted open, it meant all kinds of people could see them.

Still, the schedule had been cleared up to talk about the magic weapon, so there were not many officials and ministers in the imperial palace. It would still take them a while if they wanted to protect the emperor.

That was what the left guardian thought as well. He had two options. He could run away immediately or use the emperor as a hostage.

Judging from the situation, it would be better to go with the second scenario. If the reinforcement came, the space element users like Evelyn and Nathan could catch up to him quickly.

However, the left guardian made one misjudgment. He misjudged the empress’s ability. All this time, the emperor had blinded everyone with his brilliance, but the one who took care of the empire from the shadows was none other than the empress.

The moment the left guardian summoned his familiars for a head-on confrontation, the empress’s and the queen’s voices echoed at the same time.

“Capture the left guardian!”

Suddenly, even more familiars appeared, encircling the left guardian’s familiars.

A massive chain emerged out of nowhere and captured one familiar. The others were using their own power to restrict the left guardian’s other familiars. They outnumbered the left guardian by seven to one, leaving almost no room for error.

Nathan couldn’t help but widen his eyes. In just a moment, seven more crystal fusion stage summoners appeared in this location. They were fast, but it looked like they had been waiting for the left guardian to appear.

With the empress’s voice, Nathan could see through the entire thing. The empress had planned everything from the beginning.

The queen couldn’t help but remember what had happened earlier.

…

“It’s rare for you to talk to me this seriously. Is there anything going on?”

“No time to explain. Please trust me on this. Bring any crystal fusion stage summoners the Erwih family has to the meeting room and wait for the signal.”

It was a simple instruction, which confused the queen as she couldn’t see through the empress’s intention. But the empress had asked her personally. Although both of them were the emperor’s wives, they both had their distinct qualities.

Knowing the empress’ quality, the queen nodded her head. “Alright.”

“Remember. We don’t have much time.”

…

The queen finally understood what the empress wanted. She couldn’t help but take off her blindfold and mutter, “There is no fortune fluctuation from his body even though he has been branded as a traitor. Don’t tell me, it’s actually a fake fortune?”

The queen suddenly realized she had been fooled this whole time. “Now that I think about it, the Death Society has Fated, whose ability is also related to mine.”

On the other hand, Nathan was impressed by what happened. In just an instant, the left guardian had been suppressed. The number was not low either. “That’s…”

“Hehe.” The emperor had a smug smile on his face. “The reason the Erwih family can maintain its presence for so long is because of how deep we are. Normally, a powerful family has one crystal fusion stage summoner. Those very strong ones have two or three.

“However, the Erwih family had ten crystal fusion stage summoners. Two of them died during the purge, though.” The emperor pointed up. “Five of them are from my family. The other two are the royal guard captain and the other one is the Marquis of the West.

“What do you think? Our Erwih family is powerful, right? Would you like to have their help? How about marrying my beautiful daughters? I don’t mind if you take all of them by yourself.”

Nathan was impressed by the lineup, but he didn’t know how to react to the emperor’s casual reaction in this situation. At the same time, he was more impressed by the empress’ ability.

Nathan shook his head and said, “It’s amazing, but I’m more impressed by the empress. She has actually planned everything out.”

“You… You won’t get my wife. You can get all the women you want, just not my wives.”

“I’m sorry, but I’m Cao Cao.”

“Who?”

Nathan just smiled while looking away. “Nothing.”

He was getting carried away a bit, so Nathan hurriedly shook his head to shift his focus back. Even if the left guardian had been suppressed, they still had to handle the rest of the matter.

Because Nathan wasn’t responding to him anymore, the emperor shouted, “Capture the left guardian. He is a traitor to this dynasty. Kill all his familiars and capture him!”

With the confirmation of the emperor, the seven summoners could unleash everything they had.

That was what they were supposed to do as a subject after all. Still, they were quite curious as to why the emperor wanted him captured.

As if noticing the people’s suspicions, the emperor stepped forward.

“Left guardian. I ask you again. Have you made any contact with the members of the Death Society? If you have, please tell me about the type of contact and when.”

The left guardian opened his mouth and forcefully closed his mouth again. This action was enough for everyone to make people suspicious of him.

“Left guardian. What is the name given to you by your parents?”

The emperor continued, making sure that the people had no doubts that the left guardian was a traitor.

“Left guardian. Do you have any collaborations with the Death Society?”

“Left guardian. Is the Death Society your ally?”

“What do you think about the Death Society?”

With all those questions and the left guardian’s refusal to speak, the people took action.
