Others Summon Dragons, I Summon Legendary Knights Chapter 387 Once Comrades [Battle Between Summon & Summoner]

It was… beyond anything he had ever witnessed. Captain Arian’s assessment was correct; Godfrey was truly one of a kind.

Dax’s eyes gleamed with fierce intensity. He shifted his gaze to his right as Godfrey closed in, his massive sword swinging towards him.

The second page of the tome opened: Blink.

With a blinding flash of light, Dax dematerialized just as a colossal mana beam bisected the boulder where he had stood moments before. In that instant, Dax reappeared precisely where Godfrey had been, and his tome flipped back to the first page.

The phantom materialized once more, trapping Godfrey within a Gravity Lock. Though he broke free in the next second, Jin had already struck the ground, causing it to rupture and spew forth molten magma in a violent geyser.

Godfrey teleported away as a golden diagram materialized, and Solstice lunged, his twin swords a blur against Dax. However, only the fading embers from Dax’s tome remained.

The dragon knight was left to face Jin alone.

Solstice leaped, his body spinning in mid-air, narrowly dodging Jin’s hammer. But in that fleeting moment, Jin blinked away, reappearing in a different location.

‘Two can play at that game,’ Godfrey declared, retrieving Solstice and launching him directly at Jin’s face.

Solstice’s forehead collided with Jin’s, forcing the immense creature to slide back several meters, gouging two colossal trenches in the earth.

Just then, Dax utilized Gravity Lock on Solstice. Godfrey tracked Dax’s movements; the human was a hundred meters from his prior position, meaning he was nearly a hundred and fifty meters from Godfrey’s current location.

Two golden diagrams materialized beside Dax, unleashing Tempest and Toria.

However, two titan-armored phantoms appeared and employed Gravity Lock on both knights. Their glowing, translucent hands descended, forcing the formidable warriors to their knees.

A flash of purple light pierced the darkness as Godfrey materialized behind Dax. He slammed his hand downward, intending to crush Dax into the ground with telekinesis, but Dax blinked once more.

Not once, but four times he blinked, and the third page of his tome unfurled.

Third Page: Demolition.

The very earth was torn asunder by raw mana. All Godfrey could perceive was pure white as the ground beneath him and his knights fractured and imploded. A blinding, stark white light radiated outwards, momentarily transforming the night into a searing day.

Dax swiftly retrieved Jin and teleported multiple times, as a blast radius spanning over six hundred meters was engulfed. What remained was a vast, deep abyss and floating fragments of rock of varying sizes, as if gravity had ceased to function in the devastated area.

Perched upon one of the floating rocks, Godfrey stood entirely unharmed. His golden eyes, visible through the eyeholes of his crimson armor, fixed upon Dax as he pointed his sword.

“I did not anticipate this.”

His voice, amplified by mana, boomed through the desolate landscape.

“Nor did I. I truly thought you wouldn’t survive that one. Demolition is a spatial restriction; you shouldn’t have been able to teleport unless you were using the tome’s spell. That implies… you tanked that blow head-on. You’re simply ridiculous,” Dax retorted.

Godfrey lunged towards him. Godfrey’s internal monologue raced: ‘That tome’s power is immense. It has transformed Dax into some sort of mage, a profoundly dangerous one. I haven’t witnessed him use two skills simultaneously, but he can deploy a single skill across different locations. The mechanics elude me, so I’m attacking blindly. For a mage, maintaining close contact is ideal, but with that teleportation spell, he’s as elusive as a fly.’

He summoned Dirge behind him. She slammed her staff into the ground, conjuring thousands of shadow wraiths that charged at Dax from every conceivable direction.

Godfrey intended to disappear within their midst. Dax was not holding back, and neither would he. This was no mere spar; succumbing to unnecessary emotions would prove fatal.

Dax gazed at the tome hovering above his hand. It flipped to the fifth page, expelling embers, then quickly turned to the fourth page.

Fourth Page: Extinguish!

Five towering pillars materialized around him, while ribbons of fire danced around his body. He levitated as flames erupted from the empty space between the rocks.

Contrary to expectation, the flames did not originate from the rocks; they emanated from elsewhere, drawn as if by magnets.

The inferno roared like a dragon’s breath, incinerating over half of the shadow wraith army Dirge had summoned.

Yet, Godfrey surged forth from the conflagration, teleported, and materialized directly before Dax, his hand already aimed at Dax’s chest.

He slammed Dax into the ground, causing the earth to tremble violently. Godfrey’s peripheral vision caught sight of a hammer.

It was mere inches from his face when he vanished, reappearing beside Jin, lowering his stance as he precisely sliced the back of Jin’s leg just before its foot.

With a guttural roar, Jin fell to one knee but swung its hammer regardless. Magma erupted from Jin’s entire form, but as the molten rock spread, Godfrey encased the creature in ice.

It required a flurry of rapid decisions to correctly identify and deploy the appropriate skill, and Godfrey remained uncertain if his execution had been flawless.

Maintaining his rapid momentum, Godfrey executed a sharp turn to confront Dax once more.

This time, Solstice, Toria, and Tempest were positioned around Dax, who had dropped to one knee, letting out a pained groan.

"Who won?" he inquired gently as the previously dark heavens bled into a deep crimson. Against this backdrop, numerous meteors streaked through the clouds.

This was his fifth summons: Meteor Rain, a spell that typically required a significant casting time to manifest.

A colossal phantom materialized above the cloud cover, extending its hand over the falling meteors and accelerating their descent tenfold.

In an instant, the meteors were perilously close.

Dax met Godfrey's gaze. "I suppose we both came out of that defeated..."

BOOM!

Even before the meteors impacted the ground, the grassy expanse was obliterated, and the very earth convulsed violently, its tremors reaching all the way to Paradise City.

A series of deafening explosions erupted, spewing gargantuan plumes of dirt into the sky as miles of terrain were reduced to absolute desolation by the relentless bombardment.

"What in the world is happening over there?" a bystander positioned on the city wall questioned, gazing towards the distant horizon.

"It's as if demigods are clashing. That certainly wasn't a mere spar; it was a fight to the death. Could it be the Elites?" another individual speculated, his eyes fixed on the now blood-red sky.

Arian stood on his balcony, sensing the earth's violent tremors and observing the celestial descent of the meteors. He harbored a suspicion that this devastating clash might somehow involve Godfrey.
