Others Summon Dragons, I Summon Legendary Knights - Chapter 228: Dax’s Secret

Chapter 228: Dax’s Secret

Jin, kept attacking the scorpions in an attempt to keep them at bay, but when the truck got close to the town, a scorpion seemingly buried in the rock rose up, tossing the truck into the air.

It crashed, crushing two wooden buildings before hitting a tall rock. The back door was forced open and four vagabonds, including Valentina, came out.

Most of them were bleeding, with cuts on their bodies or faces. Valentina also had a cut at her forehead but swiftly summoned White when she saw the terrible state of the driver.

He was barely even alive.

The blue marks on White’s horns glowed and glowing blue water manifested out of nowhere. The water wrapped around the driver and other vagabonds, glowing brightly, and when their wounds were healed, the glow would vanish.

“Move it!” Dax’s voice fell into their ears. He had fallen off when the vehicle was thrown into the air. When they looked at where the voice came from, they saw countless giant scorpions behind him.

A great amount of dust rose up in the wake of these monstrosities.

“Move!” Dax bellowed, leaping as he entered the boundary of the town. Mid-air, he summoned Jin, who stomped the ground and launched itself into the air.

Its hammer glowed like a volcano and it swung it down, smashing in the head of a scorpion while magma burst out of the ground, melting the bodies and heads of other scorpions.

About four of them were slain, with three others retreating with heavy injuries that would certainly lead to death.

But their numbers were still too much. The sounds made by countless scorpions could fill an entire troop’s heart with dread. However, right at the boundary of the town, the scorpions all stopped.

Dax blinked several times as they turned back and scuttled away.

“What just happened?” he muttered.

“Dax, we have a problem.” A voice called out to him. Dax turned back to see the truck in an upside position. There was a huge dent beneath it, destroying the integrity of the vehicle, officially rendering it useless.

“It’s alright. Those monsters are not after us any longer. We need to scout the terrain before searching for a place to stay. Water and food is our main priority—”

“Have you ever seen a purple gate before?” Valentina interjected with a soft, genuinely curious tone.

Dax looked at her and exhaled. “I’ve heard about it from Gabriel. There are so few of them that many think it doesn’t exist. A purple gate is like the combination of a red and blue gate but with an extra set of rules.”

Dax looked at everyone. “No one can enter a purple gate after the first group. It usually vanishes after it takes a raider and reappears to either release the raider who would have cleared the dungeon, or it would reappear for another brave individual after the last one had perished.”

“It has hordes of monsters like a red gate, a vast terrain like a blue gate, and seals off the exit. The only way to leave is to kill the boss.”

“What are we going to do then? Can we kill the boss?” Valentina asked. At that moment, a knight appeared on the tall rock which the truck hit. Ballista’s cloak fluttered, but his black armour and helmet that had no opening for any of the facial orifices made him quite dreadful to look upon.

He leaped and landed with a metallic thud. His chainmail clinked softly as it rubbed against the metallic plates with each step the knight took toward the group.

“We… are… not alone.”

Ballista told the group as he turned his head toward the left.

“Kekeke! Sharp senses!” A snicker rang and several portals opened as individuals in black robes revealed themselves. They all looked like some nobles in a secret cult.

Their eyes gleamed with demeaning light. Like the likes of the Vagabonds were beyond them, more like food they would reject even if given.

“Fanatics. All of them are superiors!” A Vagabond frowned as he swiftly summoned his elephant.

They all knew the Fanatics had a society of Superiors and Inferiors, a noble and commoner archetype, but unlike the later, here superiors were deemed to be much better in combat.

From the portals, Skull Masked Cavalrymen emerged with menacing horses also wearing skull masks. Green flames billowed from their hooves, eyes, and nostrils.

The cavalrymen used chains to control their mounts instead of reins. Their weapons were broad axes with intricate designs from the handle to the axe blade. Only the sharpened part was exempted.

There were over forty of them and each of them were King Tier. Ahead of them were two different kinds of summons.

One was a centaur, dark as if made by the night itself, with a gray helmet from which his moon-like eyes glowed from. Gray chest plate, vambraces, and leg guards for his horse legs and back.

This centaur knight had long braided white hair, white hair before his hooves, and a white tail. This thirteen feet tall knight also held a tall spear and a round shield. His black cloak fluttered softly.

It had the features of the demon race. It was a 14.5 Throne Tier Demon Centaur. The other one was a skeleton centaur clothed in a ragged light blue robes that looked so old it had lost its prime colour.

The bones, however, seemed to be made of black and silver metal and there was a sheathed crescent blade attached to its waist.

It was the summoner of this skeleton summon that laughed. He was a Saint Tier summoner after all. With a powerful 16.5 by his side, he didn’t understand why an Origin Tier still had to be seen to oversee things.

All the vagabonds unleashed their own summon while Dax stood before them.

“Hand her over and we shall spare your lives.” The general, summoner of the Saints Tier skeleton summon, pointed his finger at Valentina.

“You’ll have to walk over our corpses.” Dax replied firmly.

“Oh? As you wish then.” The general replied.

“I hereby order everyone to protect Ms. Valentina at all cost. I’ll handle these ones.” Dax ordered.

His eyes gleamed as he removed the mask that looked like a prison for his mouth all this time. His eyes turned white, his crimson hair grew, as his skin also turned crimson.

Volcanic rocks came out of his skin that now looked like the body of an active volcano and it formed a hammer. The scar across his eye glowed white.

His tier alone rose to 16.0. The tier of a Divine Tier.

’A summon disguised as a human. Remarkable!’ The Grand Moon, watching from afar, raised an eyebrow.

Dax and Jin. They weren’t really summoner and summon after all.
