Others Summon Dragons, I Summon Legendary Knights novel Chapter 23

Chapter 23: Competition — Ballista In Action

The metallic sounds reassured Cecil, and she breathed out in relief, only for Ballista to walk out, the sun reflecting off his majestic, golden-armoured body. His mighty warbow made his presence even more eye-catching, as everyone quickly noticed this knight wasn’t Mountain.

Shocked whispers and gasps spread throughout the arena, while in the headmaster’s office, Evangeline looked at Sebastian, her hands trembling softly.

"It’s a 5.0 Elite Tier summon with a potential of 7.0." She didn’t yell, in fact, her voice was soft, almost breathless, yet the impact it made was as powerful as a cry. The news struck the headmaster heavily, prompting creases to grace his temples.

’What is this?!’ Sebastian asked himself with a frown. He wanted to brush this off as Godfrey awakening another summon, which was rare, but not uncommon, but this summon looked similar to the first... it felt like this summon and the former were part of a set.

That thought shook his core because of a question that haunted him at the end of this assumption.

Were there more?

If there were, and their tiers and potential were higher, then Godfrey was indeed a King Tier, and a frightening one, because having more than one summon made him more of a threat than a summoner with a single or dual summons.

Meanwhile, at the arena, Cecil tried to pacify herself. ’It can’t be that it has the same skill like the fir—’

Her worst fear became reality as Ballista entered Black-Out State, and his tier rose from 5.0 to 6.0!

The referee’s mouth shut. The crowd erupted into an uproar, absolutely stunned at the absurdness of Godfrey’s summon. One summon having such a skill was frightening, but two?!

That was beyond frightening!

"This is bad," Orwen said with a solemn expression, turning to Dale, who was frozen in shock just like Cecil.

"It might be a 6.0 High Tier, but the Titan Yaoguai isn’t going to be defeated by a knight wielding such an absurd bow without an eyehole on his helmet," Snow spat nonchalantly.

"That’s true. That bow looks impractical," Dale nodded.

A freshman that heard them scowled at Godfrey. "What’s he going to do with that stupid-looking bow? Place it on the ground and shoot?!" he mocked with a loud voice.

At Cecil’s wordless command, the Titan Yaoguai charged at Ballista, fist clenched and prepared to punch his skull inward. With thick legs capable of kicking a huge tree off the ground, leaving behind a disorientated stump, the Yaoguai bounded across the platform. Its muscles rippled beneath its purplish-black, steel-like skin, and its snarling jaws stretched wide, baring fangs meant to rend through knights and beasts alike.

Ballista, however, simply slammed one end of his bow on the stone, summoned an arrow whose arrowhead reflected the sunlight, and nocked it.

The sound of the tendons used to make the bowstring stretching rippled through the air as Ballista drew his arm back until it could be vividly seen he drew this bow with his entire body. At this point, the Yaoguai was near.

Ballista released the arrow, and time seemed to pause for a moment. The air blew apart, and the huge Titan Yaoguai was launched backward like it had slammed headfirst into an 18-wheeler truck!

Hurtled backward by the impact, the beast crashed a few meters away, an arrow lodged right into its shoulder, half of the shaft poking out the other side. Growling in rage, the Yaoguai pulled out the arrow with an earthshaking roar, blood spilling down its massive frame, and leaped high, mana gathering in its clenched fist. Its shadow loomed like a falling mountain, eyes burning with malice.
