Others Summon Dragons, I Summon Legendary Knights novel Chapter 522

Chapter 522: Invaders

Ronald excluded, the others rushed outside at the sound of screams. Chaos was loud. It had never been quiet and never would be.

The door to the Daniels house remained ajar. Mrs. Joy looked back at Ronald. He was on his knees, sobbing quietly as he held his lifeless wife.

He had drowned so deeply in his grief that the screams outside barely seemed to reach him. Or perhaps he was deliberately ignoring them.

Mrs. Joy turned away.

Far in the distance, Humanoid summons flew into the air in an attempt to escape, only to be shot down. Explosions erupted between buildings, and the earth trembled beneath her feet. Skills flashed one after another without end.

Whatever had invaded Paradise had come from the direction of the Watchman’s Tower.

"Mum! Stay inside with Mr. Ronald," Percival said urgently.

"I can help." Mrs. Joy stepped forward. "I know someone who can—"

"I know." Percival moved closer and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Mr. Ronald needs someone with him. Stay."

Mrs. Joy stared into her son’s eyes.

"You know?"

Percival cocked an eyebrow. "Know what?"

"Percival!" Isaac’s voice rang from outside.

Percival left his mother and ran to join the others.

Their district was still safe. People had begun emerging from their homes, staring towards the distant explosions with curious, frightened eyes while ordering their children to remain indoors.

Paradise had never been attacked since its founding.

"It’s Cain," Lucy said solemnly.

"He was bound to do it one day," Isaac replied.

Two trucks pulled up. Oliver sat in the front passenger seat of the first and banged a hand against the steel door.

"We don’t have much time."

Percival climbed into the first truck with Lucy and Snow while Isaac joined the second.

Once they were moving, Oliver turned towards them. "We don’t know what happened to the Watchman, but the barrier keeping us banished is gone. We’re exposed, and we’re under attack by an army of elves."

"So we’re facing a dungeon gate that opened the moment the banishment was lifted?" Lucy sucked her teeth. "What are the odds?"

"What do you mean?" Oliver asked.

"There’s something wrong with all of this," Percival said.

"True..." Oliver looked through the windshield as they left the district behind. The explosions grew louder.

"Where’s Mr. Ronald?" His gaze shifted to the rearview mirror. "I noticed the healing water has gone dull. The vegetation it created is dying, and I couldn’t find the Elk."

No one answered. Oliver studied their faces through the mirror, then his expression changed.

"She was at the council hall, wasn’t she? Mr. Ronald must have teleported there." He sighed. "The signs say otherwise, but I hope she’s safe."

Lucy glanced at Percival’s stoic face.

Snow leaned against the window, watching the buildings pass as they drew closer to the most important district in Paradise.

The heart of the city.

The Court of the Elders stood there. So did the Watchman’s Tower and the statues of Paradise’s past Captains.

No one knew what had happened to the Watchman.

If the Elders fell as well, Paradise might never be the same.

Snow watched families fleeing through the streets, their summons helping them along. Orcs. Humans. Humanoids of all kinds. Many of them possessed power, yet their hurried movements and hunched postures betrayed their fear.

"High school wasn’t so bad after all," he mused.

The truck eventually slowed.

Ahead, the road had disappeared beneath a mass of people, everyone pushing towards the same escape route.

"This isn’t looking good." Oliver grimaced.

Snow rolled down the window and stretched out his hand.

Black glimmer threaded with enchanting green streamed from his palm and spread into a shimmering fog above the crowd.
