Others Summon Dragons, I Summon Legendary Knights novel Chapter 40

Chapter 40: Another One

In the morning, Edwin walked over to the formation, lifting his head to the teen still seated atop the bridge, munching on his breakfast while enjoying the vast view.

"Others are going back. Are you not going to get back out and increase your points?" he asked.

"Not yet."

This was the same reply Edwin kept receiving until four days went by. On the fourth day, due to full concentration, Godfrey noticed he could meditate for three hours straight before sleeping, a huge improvement from the previous twenty minutes.

Descending from the stone bridge, he made his way to the camp, squinting at the giant heaps of monsters in Isolde’s kill space. Not just her, but other students too.

A good number of his classmates stood analyzing those at the top.

"Sir Edwin announced this morning that Isolde already has six hundred and fifty points. Pendragons are monsters. Imagine being friends with her," a male student said while looking at his friends.

"We’re already her classmates when she’s easily one of the strongest existences in the school. We’re a privileged set to sit in the same room," a girl with folded arms said proudly.

"Look, Snow is definitely going to come second. He already has 400 points and Cecil has 280. I guess we already know the first, second, and third. It would have been a lot more competitive if Dale, Maldered, Orwen, and Siegfred were here, especially Dale," another student commented.

"Godfrey just sat on that stone formation sulking. It’s been four days, he’s already out of the top ten. Soon, he’ll drop to the twelfth position," the student added before someone nudged him.

He turned and his eyes widened as he watched Godfrey walk away. Did Godfrey hear him? He didn’t want to face any of those terrifying knights.

Just thinking about how the one with a bow shot consecutive arrows into Cecil’s summon, and the one with the shield sliced off Lucy’s summon’s claw, made shivers run down his spine.

Meanwhile, Godfrey made his way to Edwin, who raised an eyebrow.

"Are you finally ready?"

"I want to use my points."

Godfrey’s response made his eyes widen.

"What?! You’re already behind by a lot, and if you use your points, you might never catch up."

"I know. But I want dungeon cores with enough mana to boost Ballista to the peak of the elite tier."

"If I remember correctly, it’s tier 5.0. To push it to 5.4 will cost you 70 points," Edwin replied, seeing Godfrey wasn’t going to change his mind.

"I’d also like to be teleported to Raptor Valley."

Godfrey showed him an elite-tier danger zone on his digital map. Raptor Valley had several elite raptors and variants which could spit corrosive acid and some flames. A dangerous place where no low tier could be found.

"That will be 10 points."

Godfrey appeared on the top of a stone formation. From here he could see the deep slope and holes housing raptors which lived in the cavernous depths of these formations.

A diagram flared behind him and, with a light metallic clink ringing like a harmony, Ballista stepped out, his giant bow loosely held in one hand.

After absorbing the core, his aura exploded forth, rapidly rising. Godfrey’s eyes widened when, instead of stabilizing at 5.4, the peak of elite tier, Ballista’s aura kept growing more imposing until he settled at 5.5. A high tier!

This was due to his constant battles and already gathered mana gaining aid from the dungeon core.

His height didn’t change, but two suns were emblazoned on both cheeks of his sleek great helm, their resplendent golden sheen brighter than the golden helmet and the other parts of his armor.

Engravings appeared on the once simple crown attached to his helm, making it look ancient and more noble.
