Others Summon Dragons, I Summon Legendary Knights novel Chapter 478

Chapter 478: The Fishing Village

Godfrey looked at Ken, who kept moving. His footwork was exceptional, and the way he swung his katana changed afterward. It was like he altered between stances.

He suddenly took a deep breath, took two steps back, and slowly lowered his sword. He then took one solid step forward, pushed his entire torso in the same direction, and swung his katana upward.

A gust of wind burst up from his feet, forming what looked like a wall made of wind. Because of the leaves and the fierce speed of the air gathering there, Godfrey and Ema could clearly see the wind.

Ken then swept his leg outward, about to unleash what would seem to be a Wind Slash, but at that moment, his right leg shook, forcing him to tilt in the wrong direction, shattering his stance.

His hand swung back as a way to balance himself, but the wind gathered in the katana shot out, slicing the old structure Godfrey and Ema were in.

It divided it into two and cut down three other structures and mounds.

Godfrey squinted as Ken fell on one knee. On the other hand, Ema saw her life flash before her eyes.

"Why don’t you leave the katana swinging to your summon? You’re a Summoner, not a samurai. You’re not supposed to fight with your summon."

Godfrey rose to his feet, approached Ken, and stretched out his hand. Ken stared at his hand for a while. He took it, rose to his feet, before facing Ema.

"I’m sorry."

He walked away.

"Don’t look at me like that." Ema looked away when she noticed Godfrey’s gaze. She closed her eyes like someone who knew she had messed up.

"It skipped my mind that one of his legs was damaged when I almost lost both of mine," Ema said apologetically as she came out and watched Ken’s retreating back view.

They continued the journey, riding for hours nonstop until the sun once more began to set. Then they got to the shore of a vast body of water.

After an hour’s effort of going around, they discovered the boss had to be somewhere on the sea.

All three of them, on the backs of their mounts, stood at the shore.

"Is it inside the water?" Ken asked.

Ema pursed her lips. "I have no idea. But there’s no doubt it might be a huge centipede lying inside the water."

"That woman spoke about a Ronin. The boss of this dungeon can’t be a centipede if we go by her tale."

Ema turned her head to Godfrey. "What if her tale was a lie?"

"Can any of us fight underwater?" Godfrey looked at both of them.

"I’ve never even jumped into a pool. What makes you think I would dare enter an ocean?" Ema responded.

"It’s almost dark." Godfrey sighed. "Track another scent. Anyone close to the shore. They should have some information for us."

"You heard him, Yoru," Ema whispered to her summon, who began to sniff, then began to run toward the left.

Godfrey and Ken quickly followed. A few minutes later, they found a village close to the shore. The village rested beside the gray shoreline, no more than a handful of weathered wooden houses with thatched roofs clustered around narrow dirt paths.

Fishing nets hung from bamboo poles to dry in the salty breeze, while small wooden boats bobbed gently against a worn pier. Rows of fish smoked over crackling fires, their scent mingling with the sea air.

Beyond the homes, patches of rice fields stretched toward the hills. Aside from the distant cry of gulls and the steady rhythm of waves, the tiny fishing village was wrapped in peaceful silence.

"It looks like people still live here," Ken said as they rode down to the village.

"It’s deserted," Godfrey frowned as he dismounted. Ema and Ken also came down from their mounts.

"People clearly stay here, or those fish won’t be there."

"People or someone."
