Others Summon Dragons, I Summon Legendary Knights novel Chapter 44

Chapter 44: Holding Hands

Isolde knocked on the door of an apartment twice, waited for a while, and was about to knock again when the door swung inward, revealing a massive golden knight, almost as wide as the door itself!

She was taken aback by the sight, instinctively leaning to look inside, but Mountain’s heavy cloak obscured the gaps, preventing her from seeing anything.

"Uhm, is Godfrey in?"

"Isolde!" Godfrey’s shocked voice rang out, and Mountain stepped aside, revealing him seated in a meditative pose on a sofa. His once calm face, which had carried only mild surprise at hearing her voice, shifted into open astonishment the moment his eyes landed on how she looked.

"Wow." He uttered sincerely, his eyes fastened on her face, which glowed faintly under the orange light spilling from outside. Smirking proudly, Isolde stepped into the apartment.

Her anger and frustrations melted away at his expression. Finally, she felt satisfied.

"We’re supposed to ease our nerves tonight, and you’re doing the opposite." Isolde sat, crossing her legs with a playful huff.

"I don’t have enough mana." Godfrey shrugged.

"You’ve absorbed enough. Can we enjoy the rest of the night... please?" She pouted, her lips curving ever so slightly.

Godfrey scoffed but rose to his feet. "I’ll go dress for the party."

"Not the party. The rooftop of Vegas Prime Resort’s tower is enough for both of us."

Godfrey ended up stunned when he stood at the rooftop of the skyscraper, overlooking the entire resort. They could see the beach party from above, but the most breathtaking sight was the vast lake shimmering like silver glass, making this place in the harsh terrain truly an oasis.

As the wind tousled her hair, Isolde turned, smiling as she watched Godfrey entranced by the beautiful overview.

"I need to show this to those two." Godfrey suddenly said, and two golden diagrams flared to life. From them emerged two knights: one wielding a bow and the other a shield and a sword.

Isolde’s curious gaze lingered on them. "I don’t know the names of your summons. What’s that one’s name?" She pointed at the one holding the shield and sword.

"That’s Mountain. And the other with the giant bow is Ballista." Godfrey replied proudly, only to be surprised when Isolde began laughing silently.

"What?!" He snapped.

"Nothing!" She waved her hand quickly, trying to calm him. "You just... you just have an odd naming sense. But it’s strangely fitting." Her melodious voice carried a breathy softness, her cheeks puffing up as she tried to hold in her laughter.

Godfrey clicked his tongue, annoyed. Meanwhile, Isolde’s sharp eyes gleamed when she saw Ballista turn to Mountain, and Mountain also turned his head in return.

Her eyes narrowed. Were they whispering?

"Your summons are more intelligent than I thought. They’re almost completely human. But humans can’t grow beyond their limit without a summon’s influence, so they must be of a different class under the humanoid category. Only vampires seem to match their level of intelligence."

"Shoo! Look around, don’t watch us!" Godfrey waved them off irritably. Both knight-captains simply walked away, heading in different directions, but not before exchanging a knowing glance.

Isolde smiled faintly.

A white diagram suddenly appeared in the middle of the rooftop, and from it emerged a white wyvern with thick, curved horns protruding from its head.

It growled low, the rows of scaly fin-like protrusions along the length of its neck vibrating. Massive blue eyes, deep and cosmic like a nebula, locked on Godfrey for a moment before turning toward Ballista, then Mountain, baring her fangs in warning.
