Others Summon Dragons, I Summon Legendary Knights novel Chapter 248

Chapter 248: Jung-gu Incheon’s Battle

NEW VOLUME: THE KING!

....

"Sir! The demon paragon is out!" The personal aide of Pagoda’s Guild Master rushed out of his car and into the guild master’s place.

After searching the entire house, he found Alex feeding a goldfish in a small aquarium placed on a stool.

Alex turned to his heavily panting side with a raised eyebrow.

"The demon paragon is out, but it isn’t in Beijing." The personal aide blurted out before even catching his breath.

Alex’s expression turned solemn. "Where is it?"

The aide aimed his phone at the guild master’s face. It was a video of what was currently going on in Incheon.

"The gate opened up in South Korea and it’s only one demon that came out." The personal aide said as he brought out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on his face.

Alex’s eyes narrowed as he watched Merlin and Himari hold back the demon paragon, although it seemed like they were just too difficult to kill.

"My heart skipped when the demon paragon snapped Himari’s neck, but she was able to heal from that and the Axe General grows more durable with every damage he takes. They’ve been able to keep the paragon focused on them, but their battle has caused quite a lot of destruction in Jung-gu, Incheon, and those Origin Tier Summoners can’t last forever." Alex’s personal aide added while pushing the phone forward.

"It’s clear they’ve been fighting for a while. Where is Arthur Pendragon or Gamal?" Alex asked.

"Gamal is in a dungeon and Arthur Pendragon still mourns his late daughter. It would be suicidal for anyone to speak to him concerning this. I doubt he even knows. Besides, it’s best if a paragon Tier summoner deals with a paragon Tier demon."

"I’ll go." Alex said and walked into the sitting room. His personal aide blinked several times, trying to understand if the guild master knew what he was up against and still walked so calmly.

This was the first time he would be facing such a threat.

His expressions didn’t even change. He swiftly followed Alex and opened up a portal that led straight to Jung-gu, Incheon.

"Remain here." Alex said to him. His personal aide watched his guild master, who kept walking deeper down the deserted street as the portal grew smaller and smaller until it collapsed and he couldn’t see Alex anymore.

Alex frowned. Although the battle was still far away, he possessed far sight and could still see it. The demon paragon must have had his fill with these ridiculously hard to kill Origin Tiers and was now out to make sure, by all means, it killed them.

The demon paragon launched the Axe General through a skyscraper, appearing behind him with his fingers clamped tightly on the helmet.

With great force, it slammed the Axe General into the ground, shattering a building and others around it. Nearly a kilometre was damaged by the impact.

Himari, fused with her summon, blasted a beam which split into four, went into four different directions and converged where the paragon was throwing blows that could tear through the durability of mountains at the Axe General’s head.

Upon sensing the beam, the demon unleashed a great amount of ring shaped misama. The beams collided at the center it was destined to hit and exploded, clearing off the misama, but the paragon was gone.

Himari was just about to turn when a punch with a force that shattered half the skull of her fox launched her into the ruins of destroyed buildings.

She struck the ground several times before skidding to a stop. The massive fox whimpered as her skull was fixed swiftly, but the paragon was there once more, throwing another punch.

The air barrier collapsed due to the speed of the blow, but a sudden force slammed the paragon into the ground.

It floated like a man in space and suddenly slammed the ground even harder than before.

The white fox’s eyes widened at the sight of a twenty five feet tall lion at the distance.

It had violet skin, golden vein like patterns, an intimidating head with an unruly dark red mane with some gray parts below its chin and above by the side of its eyebrows.

Two golden strands stood out from the red just above its face. From its unruly mane came out nine other heads like a halo of heads around the main head.

It had a glowing halo diagram behind it. It was impossible for anyone to miss this glowing circle over twenty feet tall. It had separate slots, each of which had a specific elemental symbol. Right now, just one was glowing.

Gravity Manipulation!

There was a small man beside this enormous beast. He had a little goatee and pale skin but his green eyes shone bright, as bright as that of his summon’s.

’Alex Wang.’ Himari gasped in her mind while being fused with her fox.

With a furious roar, the demon paragon broke the hold. His eyes locked on the ten headed lion and he launched toward it.

The impact caused by the demon’s foot shattered the earth and flipped the twenty foot nine tailed fox over.

It was like instant teleportation. One moment almost seven hundred meters existed between both paragons, but in the next, the demon paragon was already before Alex.

Going straight for the summoner who had a weaker aura was a smart move but the demon paragon’s hand hit nothing but the air.

Alex was suddenly behind it. It slashed as it turned, but Alex vanished once more.

Then, one of the lion’s head elongated and chomped down at where the demon stood but it was able to leap backwards on time.

However, the other heads grew long necks and unleashed flames while gravity forced one of the demon’s knees to the ground.

***

"Yes!" Hundreds of South Koreans in subway trains, watching the fight with their phones, screamed out of joy. What was once a horror scene had changed in their favour.

People at home hugged themselves as they watched all nine heads engulf the demon paragon in flames.

"I can’t believe that’s Alex Wang, the guild master of Pagoda Guild! My goodness, I had almost lost hope." The anchor, who was at the verge of tears before, spoke up with renewed joy.

The demon paragon launched his hammer. It tore through the air with a fiery surface due to the speed. The air barrier was long gone, the earth itself tore open due to the speed of the hammer.

Alex’s eyes snapped open at that moment and the halo spun to lightning. He moved, tilting his entire body to the right.

In a state of slow motion, Alex observed the hammer before blitzing right to the demon leaving a wake of crackling lightning.

Alex tore through the demon’s armour, right into its chest with his claws before kicking it two kilometres away.

People were not able to follow the fight anymore as the helicopter live streaming retreated due to the effects of the misama.

When the demon recovered from the kick, Alex was already above. He inhaled and breathed flames enough to engulf a skyscraper.

The demon paragon tried to move but the earth held down his limbs, forcing him to face the horrific embrace of such flames.

Alex proceeded to call forth lightning as the halo switched once more. He thrust the lightning through the demon’s chest.

All the misama pillars collapsed as the demon died. Right then, the halo behind Alex changed to an empty one and the lion head on his chest opened its mouth. It sucked in the demon and a new element took the space of the empty slot.

With a soft exhale, Alex looked back at the destruction all around him. He was afraid Jung-gu had to be abandoned.

This black misama was no different from the effect of a nuclear explosion... maybe even worse.

It was unfortunate that many would be displaced but at least the threat was gone. Alex watched the gate grow dimmer and dimmer before it vanished.

He finally deactivated the Eclipsal State and retrieved his summon to his soul space. At that moment, Alex snapped his head.

There, on the rooftop of one of the spared buildings, a two-storey café shop, stood an individual with black hoodie.

It looked like he came out for some sightseeing. Both of them glanced at each other.

’Godfrey Daniels. You would have fought if I failed.’ Alex chuckled. ’He’s not as bad as they say. Still cares about a country far away from his homeland and I can tell... he’s already at my tier. What a monstrous youth.’

With a violet light, Godfrey vanished and reappeared in his apartment, sitting on a sofa while the young woman who made him go now showcasing tea she made with Dirge.

Godfrey exhaled helplessly. ’I’ve gone to South Korea as she wanted. Even though someone else already beat the monster, why does it feel like she is trying to evade telling me the exact cause of her death. Isolde...’

He squinted. ’...Why are you deliberately stalling?’

A/N: I took my time and thoroughly enjoyed writing this Chapter. It was fun. I hope you enjoy and also know this... It’s as long as two Chapters combined.
