Others Summon Dragons, I Summon Legendary Knights novel Chapter 138

Chapter 138: The Pit

"It’s time for you to learn new skills. As a Quad summoner, you are the true monster, but summons remain the source of your power, and that is why you need to learn Mastery. It’s a skill that allows your body and mind to adapt to the experience and traits of your summons."

Arian said as they left the plant and entered the truck. "You won’t need much time to master the sword or horse riding or the bow. You’ll be a master, like your summons, but the skill can cause some adjustments to your body."

Arian chuckled, flexing his perfect build subtly as he drove out of the plant.

In the evening, Godfrey stood at the doorstep of his new home. He had neighbors and all; the street and houses had a warm feel, but so much had happened today that all he sought was his mother’s smile.

Isolde’s too... if they weren’t on different sides of the world now. He knew she wouldn’t fight him.

The moment he opened the door to the sitting room, his eyes locked on Victoria sitting in the room with his mother. She looked a little pale, but he ignored that as the excitement of seeing her overwhelmed him.

"You’re out!" Godfrey exclaimed.

"I am." Victoria smiled softly.

"Tsk! Wherever you were must have been an unpleasant place. You act quite soft now." Godfrey said with a low chuckle.

"Go change up, young man!" Valentina ordered, pointing in the direction of his room.

As Godfrey left, Valentina’s smile vanished.

"Will you tell him?" she asked Victoria, who lowered her head.

"Godfrey’s gone through a lot. I heard he had to meet the rulers of this place because of me. If he knew that I’ve lost my summon, it might break him."

’What?!’

Godfrey, who was behind the door about to open it, froze. He was just returning to ask Victoria to unleash her summon, he had never seen it before, only to hear this.

His eyes slowly widened as he heard her explain how another consciousness was trying to force its way into her soul space through her summon, so she cut their bond, directly expelling a part of her into the unknown zone.

"I’ve been trained by the Authority since I was little, but I’ve never seen this desperate side of them. They want White, and they’re willing to break protocols for it."

Victoria’s voice echoed inside Godfrey.

He boiled. Rage screamed for an outlet, wrecking his mind. His body trembled, but Godfrey contained it and sat on his bed.

Contained?

He thought he did. But his "soft" tapping of his foot on the floor caused a quaking of the entire building, and the other two beside it.

Cracks spread out and kept spreading until a loud, concerned voice tore into his mind.

"Godfrey! What is wrong?!"

Godfrey turned to his mother, who was at the door. She knew he heard. The emotions in his eyes said it all.

"What was your summon’s name?" Godfrey asked Victoria with a hoarse voice.

Victoria leaned her head against the doorframe. "Diana."

That night, he carved it into the wall.

The next morning, a door opened, and Godfrey descended the five stairs into a rectangular hall. Four members of the six Elite Class were seated, and after them, a throne where Arian sat.

Isshin, the blue-skinned Oni Ronin, stood behind Arian. Upon seeing Godfrey enter the hall so suddenly, everyone turned to him.

"You’re early." Arden smiled. Godfrey recognized her and Dax. Of the other four, there was another young-looking woman with white curly hair and attractive bright pink eyes.

Another wore a large gray hood. He wasn’t big, he looked quite small in his hood, but he covered his face and hands with white bandages. The other two were not present.
