Others Summon Dragons, I Summon Legendary Knights novel Chapter 288

Chapter 288: The Fugitive Prince

Isshin unleashed a horizontal slash that went like an invisible wave, slicing open several spiders as he leaped high, teleporting with the wakizashi’s skill.

The Oni reappeared on one of the bigger spiders with his wakizashi deep into its abdomen.

With a light step, the Oni leaped high as if heading for the hole in the ceiling. From there, he swung his katana and wakizashi, the blades blurring in the eyes of the spiders. Invisible waves burst out, splitting over a hundred of them into different pieces.

Unfortunately a lot of them went after Thalia and Dax but they should be able to take care of it. With that in mind, Arian made Isshin teleport once more.

The Ronin reappeared before Isaac who leaned back, chuckling softly as the gleaming katana swished past his face.

His spider legs came at Isshin but the skilled Oni deflected the spider legs only for Isaac’s eyes to gleam with a feral light.

"Found you." He whispered, shooting a web that stuck to Isshin’s shoulder. Isaac somersaulted twice over the Oni and dragged the web with so much force Isshin was sent to the wall. He formed a crater on the wall. As Isshin forced himself out, the wall cracked even more.

Before he was flung away, four of his tattoos had glowed, releasing four more of himself but Isaac was able to react so fast that he webbed their katanas to the ground and their faces, held by the threads of web tougher than a high-tension wire if it was made of Divine Tier material, faced the ceiling.

The web holding their faces was attached to the ceiling and Isaac perched on an intricate cobweb made with the necks of the four Ronins as pillars. He moved on it like a true spider.

"Incredible Innate skill." He flipped as the Ronins vanished, all of them reappearing above where he once was. Now, however, he was perched on the ceiling unleashing webs at their faces.

He chuckled. It would be extremely annoying trying to remove those webs. With how strong those webs were, they might use their weapons on their faces.

Outside, Thalia and Dax burst out of the door. Her fairy shot crystal bullets piercing through the bodies of the spiders while Jin smashed them but some of the stronger ones were coming for them.

And that wasn’t all. Their numbers seemed to be endless, there were almost four hundred spiders after them. The night sky welcomed both of them, but they weren’t the only ones.

A jeep drove into the camp, its bright light forcing angry screeches from the spiders.

Ronald emerged from the jeep, slamming the door shut as his normal ocean blue eyes gained a dangerous gleam.

"I see why the Elders sent me here. The boy is already possessed."

Lucy came out from the other door. Ronald gestured for her to stay back as he took steady steps forward.

Dax and Thalia were first bewildered as the spiders suddenly stopped chasing after them. From their frantic movements, they were clearly hesitating.

"Go!" Ronald’s voice made both of them retreat, heading for the jeep.

"I’ll call for reinforcements from the Elders." Thalia said, trying to reassure Ronald that they could still take control of the situation but he looked at her with a raised eyebrow.

"You’re looking at the reinforcement."

"W-What?" Thalia looked at the jeep. Only Lucy was there. The girl was obviously frightened and there was no one else aside from her.

"Leave them to me, none will leave this premise alive." Ronald said as the gleam in his eyes grew brighter.

He activated Eclipsal State.

"Shall we?" The moment Ronald said that, a spider lunged at him. He caught it, crushed its head and unleashed a bear’s roar at the others who finally rushed at him all at once.

The sight of how Ronald was nonchalantly sweeping through these spiders made chills run down Thalia and Lucy’s spine. Truly, this man once stood against a hundred thousand orcs.

"What happened to Isaac? Where is he?" Lucy turned to Thalia.

Isshin fell on one knee, holding tight to his katana whose tip was embedded into the ground to support his body. Blood dripped down the blade and the rest of his body as he trembled due to exhaustion.

Over ten of his clones were dead. He heaved in pain, as there was a wound right below his ribs. Meanwhile, Isaac loomed over him.

"Such a pathetic attempt. A Divine Tier defeating a progenitor is nigh impossible. There are instances from you Oni Blademasters, slayers in flesh and bones. I almost felt dread at the sight of you for you bear the tattoos of a Shogun, the best of the Oni race but you’re merely a disgrace."

"I a-m a Ro-nin, not a Bladem-aster." For the first time, Isshin spoke, his voice broken but his defiance was clear as day.

"Even worse than a disgrace then." Isaac said coldly as his spider legs swept down. Inches away from his head, a shocked voice rang.

"Captain...?"

Isshin looked up. It was more like Arian who was in Isshin. He looked up, shocked to see one of Isaac’s eyes was normal once more.

"Isaac?" He left Isshin’s body and gasped.

Isaac looked around, his eyes trembling. "Was it me?"

"No. No it wasn’t. Cain took over your body and he—"

"It wasn’t Cain. It’s Neila doing."

"What?" Arian’s eyes grew a bit wider.

"It’s Neila. She’s some kind of spider god who wants to leave behind a world filled with hollow living beings as vengeance to what Adam did to her kind. She doesn’t really care much for her kind but Adam’s widespread massacre enraged her." Isaac explained with a shocked expression. Even he was stunned at what came out of his mouth. Isaac didn’t just know all this, it felt like all he said was a life he lived.

"No wonder Leanna saw you. It was a monster all along. But if there’s a god monster inside of you, how are you conscious?" Arian asked, his brows creased.

"Something is happening to her. She tried to take over my soul space but triggered something strange. It’s affecting both of us, but I think this is to my advantage." As Isaac spoke, his black spider legs dematerialized and he fell to his knees.
