Chapter 60 - Battle Continues!

William who unsheathed his sword pushed his foot against the ground and shot forward, towards Shiva like a bullet. No one would guess that he was a summoner seeing that speed as even a normal assassin couldn't dream of catching up to him.

Shiva who watched William getting closer to him hurriedly swung his scythe blocking the pitch-black sword aiming at his neck.

'Phew…that was close',

He didn't expect William himself to engage in a fight as normally, summoners would stand back while their summons would do all the work for them, or at least that's how he fought.

Shiva was pushed back in the confrontation as William seemed to have the upper hand against him, It was a normal thing considering that both had non-melee classes but William was a higher level than Shiva. Shiva who got easily overwhelmed by him jumped back creating some distance between them as he called forth his first servant.

[summon Kapali]

The knight appeared holding his swords as he blocked William,

"Play with me for a moment, will you?"

The [Heavenly demon fear] was active as it created an invisible pressure on William which he found harder to withstand, it was not that he wasn't able to withstand the pressure but fighting Kapali while being under this pressure made him feel like he was fighting inside water where it felt hard to breathe, not to mention the Sword techniques of Kapali were far more proficient than himself, there were no unnecessary movements, no flash moves, he was just swinging his sword, and was overpowering William,

Shiva who was watching the fight from the sidelines was having a grin plastered on his face, 'Indeed, except for his personality, he is good at everything else', he thought while seeing his Knight fight.

William didn't know the fact that unlike himself, who was considerably stronger than his summons, Shiva was the weakest when compared to his summons, which made him think, 'If his summons are this strong, how strong is he? Is he purposefully hiding his abilities?'

Poor William he would cough up blood if he knew about reality. But it was a good thing for Shiva as William actively avoided him while fighting Kapali.

as the fight went on longer, William was feeling like his chance of winning were decreasing which made him anxious as he backed off further away from Kapali,

"You are good, kid! Your swordsmanship is quite refined, of course it is nothing compared to me, but you can be proud of yourself"

Shiva's eyes were twitching as he heard his summons bragging, 'As I thought, he has a shitty personality'

"It was an honor to be praised by you, sir. But the battle is not over yet"

Unlike Sasaki, who got worked up at Kapali, calling him a kid, William was quite polite as he responded to Kapali in a polite way,

'Wait a minute, Why are you calling him 'sir'? this guy…is he just too polite or is he acting', Shiva who was watching all this felt like his head could burst at any time.

William who was now at a distance away from Shiva looked at him as he said, "You are strong, more so than I thought, I acknowledge that, but I am not going down like this"

"Huh?", Shiva was quite confused at this horned ba*tards words, 'What bullshit is he spouting?'

"Respond to my call O great Dragon Lord, Illuminate your brilliance upon this land"

Shiva got no time to worry about useless things as William started to chant something,

'I have a bad feeling about this'

"Summon Light Dragon, Archrosis"

A massive portal opened in the sky as the enormous head of the white Dragon came out from the portal.

The white scales, which were grown on its body, one over other like armor, they looked dazzling reflecting the light falling upon them, The jade-like shining blue eyes which could pierce into the souls of the one it looked, the threatening jaws of the Dragon combined with the horn which was grown on its head like a crown made the dragon look, Majestic.

The body of the dragon which was so strong that a skill, [Absolute defense] was given to the Dragons right after their birth by the system, such Dragon was now on the display for everyone to see as the whole body of the dragon came to view, the massive wings flapped creating a strong gust of winds.

Roar!!!!

Fear! That was the only thing that came to the mind of countless who heard the roar of the Light Dragon!

The power of the Dragon was something that common people couldn't fathom, every movement of dragons were powerful enough for the system to create a skill with, and one among such skills of the Dragon was 'Dragon roar',

[Dragon roar]

<you are affected by 'Dragon roar'>

<You are under the influence of fear>

<All your stats are reduced by 20%>

<You are in the state of fear, you will not be able to move for 5s>

'Shit! I was too careless', Shiva cursed himself as his body was now immobile like a statue.

'I have to summon Ugram'

Dragons were absolute creatures that are so strong that only other dragons could probably hope to defeat it, at least in the lower floors, unless a high-ranked climber came down, no one could dream of defeating a dragon.

And as someone who possessed a dragon as a summon, Shiva knew better than anyone that if he let the dragon do as it please, one minute was enough to lead him to his doom, and his only hope now was to summon Ugram as soon as his fear effect wears down.

That's when he heard it,

The roar that was louder than the Dragons Roar!!

The roar which created fear even in Dragons!

"Moooooooooo...…."

It was the roar of Twilight Lord, who was ready to make his appearance in the Tower.
