Radiant Dragon’s Otherworldly Reincarnation

Chapter 291. Excellent, Boy (3)

“Huuuuu….”

After dealing with the two, Patrick briefly regulated his breathing and looked at the last one remaining, Tanius.

His weapon and fighting style were identical to Antorius’.

‘Well, that’s probably why they’re master and disciple.’

In any case, that man’s characteristic was the incredibly annoying ability to see a few seconds into the future.

To break that….

“Dodge it if you can.”

“What did you say?”

Watching him in his bewilderment, Patrick let go of the swords in both his hands.

At that, the two swords floated in mid-air.

Tanius, seeing this, his eyes gleaming with a strange light, spoke.

“Is that the technique you showed at the Arcana?”

Patrick had already shown his Sword Control Art once at the Arcana.

However, although Patrick could use it, it wasn’t a technique he was particularly skilled in.

However….

“You should be honored.”

“What?”

“This is a technique I originally created to smash that spotted cat, not you.”

“What are you trying to say?”

Patrick did not answer Tanius’ question.

He just closed his eyes and brought both hands together in the center to concentrate.

The Sword Control Art that Patrick originally used was Hand Sword Control.

It was the lowest level among the Sword Control Arts.

But what he was about to use now was the Eye Sword Control above Hand Sword Control, and even beyond that, what was called the final stage of Sword Control Art, the Mind Sword Control.

He felt the need to deploy a sword form over a wide attack range to face that great White Tiger, and the technique he created as a result was this very….

“Here I go.”

The moment he opened his eyes wide, Patrick’s technique began.

[ Twin Dragons Eight Sword Forms: Fourth Form: Modified Form: Nine Hundred Ninety-Nine Dragons ]

The two swords floating in the air multiplied countless times, filling the sky.

“Heok?”

For the one on the receiving end, no words could come out at the overwhelming sight that truly made one gasp.

The blades of the Aura Blades, soaring over 3 meters long, multiplied into hundreds and filled the space.

In that state, Patrick pointed at Tanius with the index and middle fingers of his right hand held together.

“Go!”

“Ah…. Noooo?”

The moment hundreds of blades fell towards him, what Tanius felt was despair.

The miracle of the Visionary Eye that sees the future?

What use was something like that?

What was crashing down before his eyes now was like an avalanche of Aura Blades.

In a situation where no escape route was visible, what use was it to see the future?

‘This is the end.’

The moment he felt his death, he squeezed his eyes shut.

And….

Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwang! Kwangkwangkwang! Kwaaang!

A terrifying destruction was executed.

“Ah…. Noooo!”

“Ooooh. Oh, Yupinel!”

“How could this… how…”

Screams and laments erupted from the mouths of the Paladins watching the battle.

When the battle first started, the aspect of the fight was even.

No, considering that the Paladins had the advantage in a prolonged battle, it could even be seen as flowing in their favor.

But the battle they had been watching with a relaxed mind changed after Patrick unleashed his skills.

He quickly neutralized Sirius and Oiros, and the sight he showed against Tanius was beyond words.

Hundreds of Aura Blades filling the sky.

If he had used something like that from the start, could they have blocked it? No, could they have withstood it?

And those terrifying blades fell towards Tanius.

To take the life of one of the great heroes of the Holy Theocracy, one of the only nine Paladins left.

“Keuk… Double Dragooooon!”

“I’ll kill you!”

The young Paladins, filled with anger, drew their swords again and tried to charge at Patrick.

But then….

“Wait!”

“What is it? Why now…”

“Calm down and look over there!”

The place a high-ranking Paladin pointed to was the center of the destruction where Patrick’s attack had fallen.

And there….

“Sir Tanius Owen?”

There stood Tanius, perfectly fine on his own two feet.

Although he had dropped the sword and shield in his hands, not a single wound was visible on his body.

“How… how?”

How could he be unharmed amidst the traces of such terrible destruction?

Answering the questions of the Paladins were two Paladins, who were walking over from a distance, supporting each other.

Sirius Star and Oiros Ryan.

The two approached the dazed Tanius and spoke.

“Sir Tanius.”

“……”

“We have lost.”

At those words, Tanius bit his lip hard, then let out a deep sigh and said.

“It seems so.”

It was the moment the Paladins themselves admitted defeat.

Sirius, who was the first to be taken down among the three, glanced around, then sighed and said.

“A monster… there is no monster like this.”

“……”

“From the beginning, this was not an opponent we could win against. If the Double Dragon hadn’t held back, the fight wouldn’t have even been established.”

At Sirius’ words, Oiros said.

“The moment my defense reached its limit, the Double Dragon landed a final blow and withdrew his strength. If he had intended to kill, he could have killed me as much as he wanted, but he held back.”

At that, Oiros also nodded as if it were the same for him.

“It was the same for me. He gave me a warning before the attack flew. And…”

Tanius sighed and said.

“If he hadn’t held back, not even a trace of me would have been left.”

Everything around him was destroyed, but only the space where he stood was perfectly fine.

The Double Dragon had shown the divine skill of delicately controlling his attack while unleashing such terrifying power.

As if to show off, ‘This is the difference in level between you and me.’

And this show of power completely robbed the three Paladins of their will to fight.

Tanius placed a hand on his chest towards Patrick and slightly bowed his head, showing his respect as he said.

“Thank you for your consideration. I think I finally understand why my disciple praised you, who are so young, so highly.”

Receiving his thanks, Patrick thought.

‘Damn it, the execution is still lacking. As expected, Sword Control Art is not my specialty.’

What?

‘Tsk, still, how could he not get hit even once?’

…Was it a miss?

* * *

Whatever the process was….

The current situation was the best possible situation for Patrick.

If they had charged at him to die in this state where he was completely drained of strength from using his middle dantian to its limit, this time he really might have died.

But if they willingly made such a kind misunderstanding….

“I do not wish to see unnecessary blood either.”

You? Since when?

“As the victor, I will make a demand of the loser. Please, without asking any questions, follow me as you are. If you do so, I too will show mercy.”

The word mercy came out of the mouth of a guy whose legs were trembling.

How could he be so loathsome?

But do you know what the most frustrating part is?

“Huuu, we have no choice.”

No, you do. You can fight now.

“Since we have no chance of winning anyway…”

No, if you fight now, you’ll win.

“I understand. We will follow your request. Double Dragon.”

These Paladins were really terribly unobservant and couldn’t read the timing.

‘Good. That’s it.’

Patrick Schneider, who clenched his fist internally.

Just as everything seemed to be ending well….

“You must not do that!”

‘What bastard is this?’

A high-ranking Paladin who had been watching from a distance stepped forward with a serious face.

He led his comrades and naturally surrounded and confronted Patrick.

“The Double Dragon dared to cause a disturbance in the Holy City of Promis of the Holy Theocracy. If we let this slide, the world will mock the Holy Theocracy.”

‘What a nasty fellow, checking his facts so thoroughly.’

Isn’t being smart a good thing?

Well, from Patrick’s current perspective, it was indeed a major crisis.

Having exhausted all his strength by deploying an unfamiliar sword form at full power, he would now have a hard time dealing with even a single ordinary Paladin, let alone a Paladin.

In such a situation, the encirclement of the Paladin Order glaring at him could not but be a burden.

However….

“Stop.”

“Don’t you know it’s meaningless?”

The Paladins, unaware of Patrick’s situation, put a stop to the Paladins.

“How can we stop here?”

At the words of one Paladin who burst out in frustration, Tanius frowned and said.

“Then will you try? We will step aside, so will you try to face the Double Dragon with your own hands?”

‘No. Don’t do that!’

Patrick screamed internally, but the Paladins flinched at Tanius’ words.

To face that monster by themselves?

No matter how they thought about it, that was….

‘Impossible.’

‘It’s just a suicide mission.’

‘Never mind a chance of winning, there’s no meaning in even fighting.’

It was always like that.

You don’t call someone who jumps off a cliff brave.

You call them reckless and crazy.

There might be glory to be gained by challenging a battle with no visible chance of victory, but there’s a limit to that.

Tanius spoke to the Paladins who had bowed their heads.

“If you understand, then everyone stop. If you are a clergyman who serves God, you should know the value of life.”

‘Indeed, life is precious. Especially my life is even more noble.’

Patrick was relieved that the situation seemed to be resolving well.

However….

“No. I cannot do that.”

There are always one or two kids who go astray at times like this.

‘What bastard…. that baaaaastard?’

Where Patrick turned his head to look was a boy with a still-youthful face, clenching his two fists tightly.

The boy’s name was….

“I, Perios Shun, cannot forget the betrayal and wound I suffered from the Double Dragon. Even if I have to risk my life, I will make him pay the price.”

It was the Monk boy whom Patrick had looked after so well just a while ago, teaching him martial arts and buying him drinks.

‘That… that ungrateful bastard, I bought him drinks, bought him food, and even led him on with questions.’

Wasn’t the last one a bad thing?

In any case, Perios, with a sorrowful face and tears streaming down, came forward and said.

“I… I believed in that person.”

Although he was just a low-ranking Monk, the sincerity in Perios’ voice could not be ignored by anyone.

And Perios continued.

“Although his actions and words lacked dignity, and he was a mess, a drunkard, and completely unworthy of his fame, I believed and followed him, thinking he was truly striving for friendship with our Holy Theocracy.”

“Perios…”

“Ugh…”

Those around who knew how much Perios believed in and followed the Double Dragon could not hold back their groans.

And Perios continued.

“But all of that was a lie. Look. This terrible tragedy!”

As Perios pointed around, the other Paladins also squeezed their eyes shut.

Due to Patrick’s battle, this area had been thoroughly destroyed.

Buildings that had stood for over a thousand years, and numerous holy relics, art, and records of saints, all of it.

In the Holy City of Promis, where a history of over a thousand years was engraved even on a single pillar, such a tragedy had occurred.

Perios clenched his fist and shouted.

“Double Dragon! Is this the reward for the trust we showed you? Why? Why did it have to be like this?”

“Perios…, there’s actually a reason for this…”

The moment Patrick opened his mouth to explain the reason….

“I don’t want to hear it!”

Perios shouted in a voice full of resentment and charged at Patrick with his fists clenched.

At that sight, Patrick frowned.

‘Kids these days…. Huh? More importantly, why is no one stopping him?’

None of the other Paladins or the Paladin old men around were stopping Perios.

They were just looking at Perios with pitiful and empty expressions.

‘Ah, is this maybe?’

Yes, a punch thrown by Perios.

There was no way it would be a threat to Patrick.

So everyone didn’t feel the need to stop him.

Yes. That’s right.

It’s a normal judgment.

Under normal circumstances, that is.

“You crazy…”

Peeeeok!

It was a clear and beautiful sound that echoed throughout the world.
