Radiant Dragon’s Otherworldly Reincarnation - Chapter 270 : Chapter 270

Chapter 270. What Kind of Fresh Bullsht is This? (3)

The knights knew the skills of the two well.

That was why they couldn’t believe this sight even more.

“Keuk….”

Oliver gritted his teeth at the pain that felt like his grip was about to be torn apart.

He was even being pushed back in a pure battle of strength against strength.

If this happened, he could no longer find a chance of victory.

“Surrender…. Hey. I said surrender.”

Oliver hurriedly said he lost.

If he were to be needlessly stubborn here, he might get injured, no, he might even die.

But….

“Huuup!”

Ignoring Oliver’s words, Jason’s sword accelerated even more.

“You crazy bastard!”

Kwwaaaaaang!

Oliver parried the sword flying to split his crown with all his might.

But a movement that mobilizes all of one’s strength always brings about a stiffness immediately after the motion.

In exchange for parrying the opponent’s sword, a stiffness came over his entire body, and at that moment….

“This is the end!”

Jason’s sword rushed in a straight line towards Oliver’s heart.

For a moment, Oliver felt a shiver and foresaw his death.

Then….

Kwwaaang!

A streak of light intervened between the two and knocked Jason’s sword away.

The person who had saved Oliver, who was on the verge of death, was….

“Sir Sanson….”

Oliver let out a sigh of relief as if he had been saved and called out his name.

He had owed his life to Sanson several times since his soldier days, but he had never felt death so clearly as he did now.

“Thanks to you, I’m ali….”

Oliver, who was about to speak with a grin, shut his mouth.

And for a good reason….

‘Killing intent?’

A terrifying killing intent was emanating from Sanson’s body.

This was a very rare occurrence.

Although Sanson looked like a rugged and rough man on the outside, his inner nature was that of a gentle and soft man.

He did not get angry at his subordinates carelessly and, if possible, used requests rather than commands, leading the knightly order with virtue.

Such a Sanson was now exuding a killing intent that would only be seen on a battlefield.

And the place where that killing intent was directed was….

“Jason Theorg.”

“Yes. Commander. Did you call?”

“…Explain to me how I should understand what I just saw. Now!”

Even in front of Sanson, who was shouting and exploding with killing intent, Jason spoke calmly.

“Isn’t it something that always happens? We had a little duel.”

“A duel? To my eyes, it looked like you were trying to kill Oliver.”

“I apologize. I got a little excited while doing it.”

“Is that all?”

“If I must say more….”

Jason looked at Oliver and said.

“I didn’t know he would be this pathetically weak. That’s why I almost killed him.”

“What did you say, you bastard?!”

Oliver shouted and stood up.

And not only Oliver, but all the other knights who had heard Jason’s words were also enraged.

“What the hell did that bastard just babble?”

“Haah…. He’s crossing the line.”

“……”

What Jason had just said was a remark that crossed the line, to the point that even his fellow comrades of the same knightly order could not contain their anger.

Even while receiving the killing intent of his comrades all at once, Jason was composed.

“What do you call a weakling if not a weakling? If you feel wronged, why don’t you become stronger than me?”

“Is that all you have to say?”

“Yes. I have nothing more to say to losers….”

Kwwang!

Jason, who was speaking, hurriedly raised his sword to block the attack flying at him.

An attack much faster and stronger than Oliver’s sword.

Sanson’s strike sent Jason flying more than 5 meters in one go.

And then….

“Jason, I have a lot of questions for you. A lot, but….”

“……”

“Before that, I need to discipline you.”

The immense fighting spirit of Sanson, who had pioneered the 7-star realm.

Jason, facing it, thought with cold sweat running down one cheek.

‘Right. 7-star is different.’

But it’s fine.

He now had a new power in his hands.

He said that from now on, he would not lose to anyone.

Therefore….

“If you can, then try it.”

“Prepare yourse….”

It was then.

“You’re really pissing me off.”

A voice that made both of them flinch at the same time was heard.

And where both of their gazes simultaneously turned was….

“What kind of fresh bullshit is this?”

There stood Patrick Schneider, with the most unpleasant face in history.

The moment he saw Patrick, Sanson was about to say that he should be allowed to handle this matter.

But….

“What is going on here?”

He couldn’t say such a thing.

Because in Patrick’s expression, he felt a serious hostility that went beyond simple anger and displeasure.

Hostility?

It was an emotion he had never faced before, even while being beaten and ground down by Patrick countless times.

Such hostility was extending in his direction.

To be more precise….

“Say it with your own mouth. What this situation is.”

It was directed at Jason, who was next to Sanson.

And Jason swallowed his saliva, and with a shrunken appearance, he could not dare to answer.

And Patrick, who had appeared in front of Jason at some point, said.

“I’ll say it again. What is going on here?”

“…What… do you mea… Keok!”

Chwaaaak!

It was instantaneous.

Patrick’s kick, which went up so fast that even the 7-star realm Sanson couldn’t see it, kicked Jason’s jaw up.

Jason, who was lifted into the air, was then grabbed by the head by Patrick’s hand….

Kwwaang!

He was slammed headfirst into the ground.

“G-… Grand Young Master.”

Sanson was flustered and tried to stop him.

Even so, there was no need to kill him, was there?

But then….

“Tsk!”

Swish!

Surprisingly, Jason did not lose consciousness even after being hit by Patrick’s attack.

Instead, in the midst of it, he extended his sword and tried to attack Patrick.

Of course, Patrick caught the sword with his hand and lightly restrained it.

Then, he instead sent his ki back through the sword he held in his hand.

“Kuaaaaaaak!”

An internal energy attack that infuses ki through the opponent’s weapon.

At this type of attack, which did not exist in this world, Jason screamed in pain as if his insides were on fire.

“Young Master. Please stop.”

“He’ll die at this rate.”

Seeing Jason screaming like a madman, the knights, including Sanson, tried to stop him.

But Patrick restrained them with a sharp glare and said.

“Shut up and get lost.”

And he sent his ki in, stirring up Jason’s insides indiscriminately.

Patrick’s ki, which recklessly rummaged through another person’s eight extraordinary meridians.

From the receiving end, this inflicted a terrible pain that was no different from torture.

But Patrick continued to push his ki into Jason’s body with a serious gaze.

Then….

“Found it.”

In the Jeonjung acupoint, a sensitive acupoint in the human heart, Patrick was able to find what he was looking for.

Papat!

He immediately moved his other hand and sealed the surrounding acupoints by pressing them.

Then, he brought his hand directly to the heart and began to absorb and pull out the energy within it with his Absorption Art.

Then….

“Uh…?”

“Is that? Demonic Energy?”

“No way….”

The knights saw it.

The black Demonic Energy being sucked from Jason’s heart into Patrick’s hand.

As the Demonic Energy, so clear that it was visible to the eye, was pulled out of Jason, Jason’s hair began to change from brown to white.

Seeing this, Patrick let out a sigh and said.

“Sanson.”

“Yes. Grand Young Master.”

“Move him to an empty room and let him rest. And don’t let anyone approach.”

“Yes. Understood.”

Sanson answered with a serious expression.

Demonic Energy had been detected from a member of the knightly order.

This was no ordinary matter.

“Ugh…. Where am I?”

“You’re spouting a really cliché line.”

“…Young Master?”

The first thing Jason saw when he woke up after losing consciousness was Patrick, sitting on a chair turned backwards next to his bed.

“How are you here, Young Master?”

“Why? Don’t you remember?”

“Remember?”

“Think hard. Reaaaally hard.”

At Patrick’s words, Jason tried to recall what he had done.

And then….

‘Huh?’

From the duel with Oliver to being subdued by Patrick after defying Sanson, the sequence of events came to him clearly.

And the conclusion was drawn.

‘Am I going to die?’

If I have to die, I want to die as peacefully as possible.

To Jason, who was thinking such things, Patrick said.

“Do you remember?”

“…Yes. I remember.”

“Good. Let’s ask first.”

“……”

“Why did you do it?”

“I am sorry.”

“I asked why you did it.”

When Patrick asked with a sharp glint in his eyes, Jason closed his eyes tightly and said.

“It is all my fault. My heart weakened because I could not overcome my own anxiety.”

“……”

“To me in that state, a Black Mage disguised as a priest approached and said he would heal my knee and make me stronger than before. In fact, he did heal my knee and gave me a strong power. So I also just….”

“Haaah, you foolish bastard.”

Patrick let out a sigh.

And he spoke to Jason.

“I don’t know how he did your knee, but the power you wielded was originally yours.”

“Pardon? That can’t be. My power at that time was….”

“It’s called Innate Qi, you consumed the power that is the source of your life.”

“…Then, what happens?”

“I told you. It’s life force.”

“…Am I going to die?”

“Yes. Fortunately, I stopped it quickly, so it should be fine, but you should consider your lifespan to have been shortened quite a bit.”

Jason let out a deep sigh.

He didn’t know when he was drunk on power.

But he had never dreamed that there would be such a price for that power.

“How much would my lifespan have been shortened?”

“I’m not a doctor, how would I know? However….”

Patrick looked at Jason’s white hair and said.

“You probably won’t live past your 40s.”

“I see.”

Jason bowed his head.

Who could he blame?

It was he who had a weak heart, and it was he who had made a foolish choice.

Naturally, it should be he who paid the price.

To him, Patrick said.

“As things stand.”

“…Is there a way?”

As a small glimmer of hope appeared, Jason hurriedly said.

Then Patrick said.

“Reach 7-star.”

“…Pardon?”

“Reach 7-star and open your Middle Dantian. Then your Innate Qi will be replenished.”

“……”

Why do you say things so easily?

7-star.

The supreme realm.

For Jason, who was at the mid-4-star realm, it was a distant realm that was so far away it was impossible to even reach.

‘How is this any different from just telling me to die?’

Paaak!

“Keuk…. Why did you hit me?”

“This bastard, where did you get your nerve? Giving me a look that says, ‘How is this any different from just telling me to die?’”

What is this?

A demon’s skill?

How did he know?

“Should I just hit you?”

“You already did, didn’t you?”

To Jason, who sighed with a weak voice, Patrick lowered his fist and said.

“A flower that blooms in spring is not the only flower.”

“…Pardon?”

“A flower that overcomes the harsh cold and blooms in the winter snow is also the same flower.”

“……”

“Do not give up. As long as you do not give up, I will take responsibility and solve it for you.”

“Young Master….”

Patrick had just made a promise.

That he would definitely make Jason a 7-star swordsman.

At that moment, the traces of the inner demon remaining in Jason’s heart disappeared completely.

The poison that had been eating away at him as a martial artist—inferiority complex, anxiety, jealousy—disappeared, and in its place, faith in Patrick Schneider took root.

And….

Wooooong.

‘My aura hole….’

Jason’s aura hole grew by one stage.

He had surpassed the mid-4-star level and risen to the 5-star level.

The path to his goal would still be long and arduous, but just a little….

Although it was just a little, the goal had gotten closer.
