Others Summon Dragons, I Summon Legendary Knights novel Chapter 37

Chapter 37: Polaris Students

Step after step, Godfrey moved through the vast expanse of golden sand under the hot sun like a nomad. He thought he knew how to survive in dungeons, but three days without a soft bed, the scorch of the sun, and beasts hungry for a fresh kill everywhere wore him down.

In the past three days, he had to learn how to find places to sleep once the sun began to set, set up his sleeping bag, and leave either Ballista or Mountain to keep watch. His pride, his knowledge, died, and his goal to compete with Isolde wavered.

However, on this third day, he was once again moving through the desert, his skin dull with yellow dust, but his eyes remained sharp.

’I’m thirsty,’ he said, and drank from his water bottle, only to watch it finish after two gulps. His body craved more, but there was none. He had rationed poorly.

Just then, he heard the familiar screeching of raptors, prompting him to tilt to the left. Two raptors raced down the dune with heavy stomps of their hind legs. They were even bigger than the alpha raptor, with their bodies set ablaze in flames.

Igni Raptors!

Godfrey yawned, cracking his neck as he activated Echo, and a longsword appeared in his grasp. The touch of cold steel and the sheen of the blade reflecting the sunlight made his eyes unleash a bright gleam.

Rotating the sword, weighing fifty pounds, he suddenly leaned back and watched with narrowed eyes as a fireball spat from an Igni Raptor’s mouth blazed right past him, nearly making contact with his clothes.

Lightning crackled through his body as his eyes turned golden for a split second before he burst forward, evading other fireballs and unleashing a fierce horizontal sweep, cleanly cutting through the first Igni Raptor’s plated throat.

The other raptor spat flames that consumed the first, intending to consume him too, but he leaped backward with all his might, soaring over two meters before his sneakers sank into the sand, rooting him back to the hold of the earth.

It leaped toward him. Godfrey swung his sword, opening a huge wound on its chest. It countered with a sweep of its tail, which he replied to with a swift horizontal swing that ate deep into the raptor’s tail.

It tried vomiting a fireball, but Godfrey’s other arm, already covered in a gauntlet, struck its teeth, causing an explosion right within the confines of its mouth.

The raptor collapsed, making sounds of pain as Godfrey loomed over it, lifting his longsword high. Just then, the hairs on his skin rose up, forcing him to leap back as something fell from above, crashing into the raptor and swiftly snuffing the life out of it.

It was a Polaris student with a proportioned build and blonde hair just like him, but much longer. "That felt nice."

He crackled, looking at his arms covered in dark crimson scales, heated up like they were made of magma.

Godfrey frowned. He looked up at the three dark golden vultures. Their feathers, both on their bodies and wings, gleamed under the sun like metal!

All three of them landed, one had no rider, the one on the left was ridden by a girl with two ponytails, and on the middle one sat Lucian, one of the top elites of House Orion.

"What’s with your face?" Lucian raised an eyebrow.

"I was about to kill that beast," Godfrey replied, his fingers tightening around the longsword.

"It was my kill—!" James, the one who killed the Igni Raptor, shut his mouth when Lucian interjected.

"Oh really?" His eyes narrowed on the gleam of fury in Godfrey’s eyes. "Eritrea, I want to see the summon that makes this sophomore so defiant."
