Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

Chapter 1797: From One Hole to Another

When they saw his expression, Selena and the others felt like their hearts had been clenched so tight that it was hard to breathe.

They never expected that Nathan had experienced this kind of life in the past. Even though the world was filled with things they didn’t know, Nathan’s life might even be worse than that of a lot of kids in the slum.

They saw how Nathan refused to make a sound even when he was in pain. They witnessed how Nathan continued to survive, not knowing whether he could escape from this hell or not.

Selena once felt lonely because she had to watch out for her uncle. But after seeing this, dying might actually be a salvation for Nathan.

Iris couldn’t help but wonder if it was going to happen to her if Nathan hadn’t picked her up from that place.

Bella thought that she had experienced the worst thing after that bloody banquet, but she realized that Nathan had gone through worse torture.

There was no family in Nathan’s world. That was why he desperately wanted a family.

For Flora and the others who had a quite good childhood, they couldn’t help but fall silent. They had definitely taken their good life for granted.

In the end, they found Nathan getting the answer he had been looking for all this time.

The reason why he could understand Selena’s desperation was that he had experienced it himself.

"What the hell are you doing?" The middle-aged man shouted and kicked him in the yard in front of his house.

"Gah!" Nathan coughed up blood and rolled on the ground a few times, getting much and much closer to the road. "Kh..."

Instead of apologizing, Nathan glared at his father.

"You bastard. Who do you think you are to glare at me like that? It looks like I haven’t taught you enough!" His father roared and stomped his foot.

"Gah!" Nathan coughed up blood again, his eyes started to roll back. However, he needed to stay conscious. He continued to stare at his father as if he were showing his defiance for the first time.

"You bastard!" His father raised his right foot, ready for another stomp. But before he could do it, a police siren echoed from the street.

Two officers came out of their car and witnessed everything. Nathan was lying on the ground. Because he provoked him and took a harder hit, blood came out, which became a piece of evidence.

In addition, he barely clung to his consciousness, so it wouldn’t be weird if he suddenly lost all his energy and dropped his hands to the ground, showing everything so that the officers could see it.

Besides, Nathan had made another arrangement. When his father kicked him, he slightly jumped back and exaggerated his roll, making him much closer to the street so that the officers could easily witness what happened.

For the past few months, he had been taking notes on the times the police patrolled the area.

By glaring at his father, the old man would be too angry to notice that he had been trapped and too drunk to think about it.

Everything was perfect.

"Sir!"

"Sir!"

"Stop it!"

"Drop to the ground! Hands in the air!"

The two officers immediately drew their guns.

"What the hell do you want? Fuck off! I’m disciplining my son," he shouted.

The two officers looked at each other. They really needed to secure this guy first, so they kept shouting.

"Hands in the air!"

"Get down!"

They kept shouting at each other until the middle-aged man was annoyed. "All right, all right."

In the end, he lay on his stomach, and one officer cuffed his hands behind his back, detaining him.

The other officer rushed to Nathan to check on him. "I have a medical emergency. A boy, ten or eleven years old, he’s beaten pretty badly, possibly threatening injuries."

"Hey, kid. Stick with me. We will get you out of here, okay?"

"Hey. Stay with me. Don’t sleep. Stay with me."

Even Nathan couldn’t exactly remember what happened next, as he was on the verge of losing his consciousness.

However, there was one thing on his mind. He had freed himself from his father.

He didn’t have to be beaten anymore.

"Oohhh!" Sera couldn’t help but cheer. The others followed suit. Nathan won against his father. It took him a long time, but he won.

They couldn’t help but tear up after seeing how much he endured. His height increased quite significantly, so they knew at least two or three years had passed.

Despite all those conditions, Nathan managed to survive for that long. It was a miracle.

Unfortunately for them, Mae said, "If you think this is the end, it’s not."

"What?" Selena and the others widened their eyes.

Mae continued to watch what happened after Nathan managed to free himself.

When he thought he had escaped a prison, he ended up going to another prison.

"This is your son. You need to take care of him." Another officer brought him to his mother.

Nathan thought it might be a better place, but it wasn’t exactly a better place. He might not have to worry about his previous problems, but he had to worry about another problem.

When he first entered the house, he was shocked.

"What is this?" Sera covered her mouth in shock. "Even a sewer is cleaner than this. Someone actually lived in this kind of place?"

Nathan bit his lip. He didn’t have any other choice but to continue fighting.

He used to clean his former house, so he tried to get it as clean as possible. At least he wanted to make this place suitable for living.

Fortunately, he didn’t get beaten by his mother.

However, when he finished cleaning, he came to look for his mother.

"M...Mom. I’ve finished cleaning..."

"Oh..." His mother just lifted up her hand as if signaling him that she heard him. Meanwhile, her body continued to lie down, her eyes lost their focus, and her consciousness was flying.

"Can I... eat something?"

"I... ain’t got... shit... for you..."

"..." Nathan was dumbfounded. He also heard a few people coming into the house as if it were their own. He couldn’t help but look at them in horror, realizing that he had ended up falling into another hole.
