Narrado por: Kyle Tait

Shortly after Kelvin's promotion to the coveted position of Rank S adventurer, the militaristic country of Trycen declared war on the entire Eastern Continent. In addition to launching an invasion of its neighboring countries, their infamous Dragon Knight Order is now closing in on Parth, led by Crown Prince Azgrad himself.

The only thing standing between this dreadful host of warriors and ancient dragons—exceptionally powerful members of their mighty race—and the City of Peace is the Summoner's determined companions and allies, who have been given the task of buying time until reinforcements arrive.

At the same time, Tristan Faaze, the general of the Magic Knight Order, is hatching a terrible plot within Trycen itself, targeting Shutola, the princess and general of the Black Ops, who weeps for her country's fate. Come along for the ride as this black-clad Grim Reaper and his battle junkie friends clash with the Demon Lord in the fifth volume of this epic journey!

Overall enjoyable, and I love the storyline

The pacing of the book is fun and enjoyable. The narrator did a great job. I enjoyed the action and the storyline. If you have listened to the other books, I would suggest this one as well.

another great story for this series

while continuing and concluding the previous book plot thread it adds more as we delve deeper. The only thing I didn't like was the abrupt ending.

the narrator talks too slow

speed up to 1.25 and it's not so bad took me awhile to remember this trick

can't wait for more

the new characters in this volume was done very well especially the crown Prince and the way thay ended the volume makes me want more

Black Summoner delivers again!

Lots of plot progression in this novel and is a good length. This novel covers the entire war with Trycen so expect a lot of fights.
