Others Summon Dragons, I Summon Legendary Knights - Chapter 143

Chapter 143: Fight
Eventually, Godfrey heard of it. But the matter was already before the Elders. Dax stood outside his room with Oliver while Godfrey sat, his head facing the cement floor, yet his rage made the air within the room heavy.

The entire camp was silent.

The moment Godfrey rose to his feet, Dax’s eyes gleamed, the same for Oliver, whose aura shifted sharply.

“Sit down,” Dax said firmly. Though they couldn’t see each other, both sides were perceptive enough to feel the movements being made on either side.

“Give me one reason why,” Godfrey’s deep voice came from the other side.

“The Captain is on his way. Wait till he comes. If you start a fight, everything will further collapse. A command has already been broken; it might get worse if a fight breaks out and you won’t be going against one man but an entire squad,” Dax explained.

“So?” Godfrey’s voice rang from the other side.

Dax clenched his teeth. He knew how much of a monster Godfrey was when angry, in fact, they already knew an angry Godfrey was no different from a bomb.

Forget his summons. Him alone was a Throne Tier threat.

It would take him and Oliver just to stall Godfrey, but once his summons entered the mix, it was game over. Once Godfrey flipped, the camp would be turned upside down.

‘Was Enjin mad?!’

Dax could only sigh at his bad luck. “Just sit. I know he tried to kill your mother, but she isn’t dead yet. The Elders have summoned him, we’ll all be going there soon. Just wait for the Captain.”

Dax’s eyes went to Oliver, who was quiet. He also didn’t want Godfrey and Oliver to clash, as Oliver’s summon didn’t differentiate between friend or foe.

A single cut and you would remember it for the rest of your life.

“Let him out,” a voice rang, prompting both Elites to turn right.

They saw Arian in a trench coat, with simple round glasses and the backside of his shoulder-length gray hair packed. He looked like a man on vacation, yet his expression was placid.

“You can come out,” Dax said as both he and Oliver exhaled noticeably. They were betting on their one-year friendship should a fight occur.

Godfrey stepped out, his eyes meeting Arian’s.

“Let’s go.”

A small crowd stood at the left and right sides of the hall as Enjin stood before the Elders. Everywhere was dark, with the light focused on Enjin.

The man had a calm expression, though he could still see the Elders.

“Are we going to act like his summon didn’t kill people? It had the strength to apprehend them and not brutally kill my squad members!”

“We have not asked a question and you are already speaking. In that light, you also had the strength to fight, but you chose the path of a coward. Kill the threat, it’s okay… when they’re not related to you,” Inara said softly, her voice charming as if she wasn’t scolding Engin.

“Our lives are at stake here! Keep them here any longer and we’ll have Agents at our doorstep!” Enjin retorted.

“Enjin… you weren’t abandoned because you went through the Readjustment Program and became an Agent for the Authorities. We still allowed you to stay,” John’s deep voice rang.

“They’re offering a billion for that woman!” Enjin pointed at Valentina, who stood beside her son. “One billion and more rewards. If I didn’t love and appreciate Paradise, I would have given in. I did what I did for Paradise, and you all look at me like I’m a demon. I’ve lived here for fifteen years. I’ve done more than what he can ever do.”

“You polluted the minds of your squad, Enjin. No one rejected you, even when, as an Agent, you had soiled your hands with the blood of these same people you call your own,” Orion replied.

“We are not the Authorities. We take the risk, and most of them have turned to our favour,” he added.

Enjin’s face contorted. “It’s different this time. I’m sure you know of it, you’ve brought the wrath of the Heads upon us,” Enjin snapped toward Arian.

“I should have taken that spot as Captain when I had the chance. This mess wouldn’t have happened.”

“I accept your challenge. A battle for the position of Captain… before the eyes of the Elders,” Arian said suddenly.

Everyone thought Arian would avoid battling Enjin at all cost. This would be a fight of peak Throne Tiers.

Arian looked at Godfrey from the corner of his eyes. He knew the Elders wouldn’t kill Enjin, after all, he was the one who lost two men. They would imprison him for as long as possible until changes were seen in him.

But his authority as Captain had been challenged, and when he came to get Godfrey, when that portal appeared at their dire state, Arian had promised a place of peace.

For that, Enjin had to go.

“Are you certain of this? I cannot guarantee the survival of your Ronin,” Enjin squinted.

Arian walked out. “I have no worries.”

“You have heard them, Gabriel,” John said softly, as if speaking to the air.

In the next moment, everyone found themselves in what looked like an arena.

The Elders sat at the highest point, while everyone, almost sixty people, dominated the left and right sides. Arian stood in the vast battleground with Enjin, separated by two hundred feet.

A huge portal appeared beside Enjin, unleashing a colossal tortoise with claws three feet long. The tortoise’s shell was like a dome, so thick it might survive an atomic bomb. The massive limbs were protected with dense scales, and it looked like the tortoise had an eerie smile due to the jagged teeth with no lips to cover them.

A long tongue slithered out of its mouth as the tortoise roared, causing visible ripples through the air.

This was a Swamp Titan Tortoise, currently tier 15.4!

Just 0.1 lower than the absolute peak of the Throne Tier.

Compared to this monstrosity, the Oni Ronin looked like an ant.

John’s voice rang: “Fight!”
