Others Summon Dragons, I Summon Legendary Knights novel Chapter 458

Chapter 458: Centipede Frenzy

Ken clenched his teeth and fists as he faced this painful decision. With no other choice left, Ken had to cut down those that were meant to fight alongside him. Hinata, Ichiro, Takeshi, and others who were not infected shot the infected ones, but the bullet holes closed, and those who were cut into different pieces merged back together.

Seeing this, Ichiro looked around. "Fire... we need to burn them."

A portal flashed, and a tiger emerged. It opened its mouth, unleashing flames on the infected agents. The moment the flames touched them, a piercing screech left their mouths. It sounded like even the centipedes screamed with them, and the pitch of their screech was so high that they had to cover their ears.

Fortunately, their resistance to fire was non-existent. They all collapsed, leaving the rest of the team in shock.

"How did we not notice those things?" Takeshi gulped, his hands on his bald head.

"The question is, how did it spread so fast, and we didn’t even know?" Hinata looked around as other agents went about killing centipedes that were about to escape.

"They don’t need a host." No one knew how pale Ken’s face was behind his mask.

"What?" Ichiro faced him. Everyone did. At this point, they needed to know what they were facing. Thirty agents were dead, and the rest of them were barely able to keep themselves under control. Some wanted to strip naked to ensure there was no centipede in their body.

"I stayed up all night expecting an attack, but there was none. All the time we’ve been camping, these centipedes have been sneaking into our tents. I think they’re able to enter our bodies without our knowledge." Ken faced Ichiro.

"We need to go."

Hinata squatted before a dead centipede. It was black with bright red legs and about as long as her index finger. Then, she looked at the huge centipede on one of the burnt corpses tied to a stake.

"Did this thing grow that big while being inside a person’s body?" Her eyes trembled.

"It clearly did." Takeshi shuddered.

"Alright, it’s clear every moment we stay here, we risk being infected. So we need to leave. But first, everyone must be examined. Move in pairs. Both will examine each other." Ichiro ordered, and everyone dispersed to check themselves.

At a corner, two female agents removed their clothes. The first one glanced at the second one.

"Rika vomited on you."

The second glared at her. "I hit those things off. I’m not infected—" As she spoke, her eyes went to her abdomen, where something small moved beneath her flesh.

Her eyes widened. The first agent saw it and pulled out a gun, but the second jumped on her. They hit a half-burnt wooden wall, collapsing into the building, both struggling for the pistol.

Eventually, the second agent overpowered the first and got the pistol. She aimed it at the first one as she panted heavily.

"I only have to get home, and this thing will be taken away. I can’t die, not here and not like the others," she said while glaring at the one on the floor.

"Kill me, and they’d know something is wrong. I can’t let you bring this thing to Tokyo." The first agent responded firmly, but the second sighted something on the neck of the first.

"Is that so? Go ahead then." She dropped the pistol on the first agent, then rose to her feet. As the first agent stood up, the second chuckled.

"Kill yourself first. You’re also infected. Shoot me and they’ll also want to search you." The first agent’s eyes widened in horror as she felt the centipede crawling from her cheek to her forehead, then into her scalp.
