Others Summon Dragons, I Summon Legendary Knights novel Chapter 431

Chapter 431: Percival’s Threat

His eyes went to the bloodstained windows. Percival’s lips trembled as he watched her walk away. Then he took bold steps, water splashing with each large stride and grabbed Lucy’s wrist.

"Wait." He wanted to let her go, to watch her, but it’s been days now. The pain in his heart grew each time he knew she suffered alone.

With his own eyes, he could see her mental health slipping.

Maybe... It was time to confront her. To face this once and for all.

"Let’s talk."

"No." Lucy’s reply was sharp.

"Lucy, be reasonable!" His voice went a few notches higher.

"I...m trying. I’ve been trying!" She pulled her wrist off his grip, staring into his eyes.

"I’ve tried, Percival. I’ve tried to be better but I just can’t." Her breathing became ragged, her eyes grew red and moist. "Do you know how many times I’ve spoken to myself to feel better, to be happy but it doesn’t work. I’m constantly in a battle with myself! Why was I born like this when you all seem to have it all together."

Her lips quivered. "I can’t even control my own mind. My efforts come crashing down. I desperately want to cheer for you but the question ’why aren’t you there’ keeps haunting me. And now..."

Her eyes shimmered with a pink light.

"Why are you always better?! Why are all of you so much better than me?! I will also try! I try to at least be behind but even that isn’t even possible. I can’t even reach out to your shadows!! I am the most miserable person and that’s because of the friends I have!"

Her face paled, eyes wide with shock, her hands trembling as the pink glow vanished. She slowly reached out to Percival. "I’m sorry. I’m so sorry... I didn’t mean that."

She shook her head in denial, stopped her hands halfway and ran in the opposite direction.

’You said it!’

’You said it!"

Hera kept singing in her head, causing her to stumble and crash on the muddy ground not too far from Percival.

She picked herself back up and ran, occasionally looking back. He remained in that same spot until she left the area.

Percival remained in that same spot, hands tucked into his soaked white hoodie, his lips pursed.

He blinked and permission was given back to the rain and the suspended water droplets fell all at once, splashing on him.

After standing there for a long time, Percival turned and walked away.

***

Time trickled by. The buildings here were the worst. Metal scraps were used to fix the parts that had been destroyed by beasts.

This dungeon was famous for its variety of monsters, majorly the dinosaurs, the Black Land Hippos, and the Red God Fox. Which made it one of the most dangerous and biggest dungeons in the US.
