Radiant Dragon’s Otherworldly Reincarnation - Chapter 290 : Chapter 290
Chapter 290. Excellent, Boy (2)
Kwaang! Kukukukuku…. Kuung!
No one could approach.
The moment Patrick and the three Paladins began to fight, the entire area began to be devastated in less than a minute.
“Fall back further. Don’t get caught up in it!”
“Prevent the damage from spreading to the surroundings. Protect the Holy City!”
The other Paladins kept a safe distance from the battle scene and only observed the fight.
“Is it okay to just watch like this?”
“What else can we do?”
“Of course, we must help the Paladins…”
“How?”
At those words, the Paladin who said they should help looked at the battle scene and soon smiled a hollow smile.
“There is no way.”
He couldn’t even see how the battle was unfolding.
All that could be discerned from here was the overwhelmingly bright and shining holy light, the flashing halo of light within it, and the occasional fragments of aura that burst out from their clashes.
“Is he human?”
“Double Dragon…. I’ve heard the rumors, but I never imagined it would be to this extent.”
“At that level, isn’t he no less than the Sword Saint?”
“That might be so. But…”
The speaking Paladin bit his lip hard and continued.
“Even if the Double Dragon is a strong person on the level of the Sword Saint, he cannot face all of us alone.”
“That’s…”
“If, by any chance, the Paladins are defeated, then we must all rush in and kill the Double Dragon.”
“Kill him, you say?”
“We cannot increase the disgrace of the Holy Theocracy any further.”
He didn’t know for what reason Patrick Schneider was causing such a disturbance.
But whatever the reason…
“He has crossed the line.”
“That is so.”
Now that even the Paladins, who represented the military power of the Holy Theocracy, have stepped forward, the games are over.
The Double Dragon would have to pay a fair price.

‘This is harder than I thought.’
Patrick frowned.
The pressure of the divine power that seemed to be closing in from all sides was tough, but the combat power of the Paladins was also beyond the rumors.
“Oh, Yupinel!”
Sirius Star, armed with a mace and a round shield.
When he first saw him, he thought he was a power-type heavy-armored Paladin.
But he was a type completely specialized in speed.
His basic speed was also fast, but the moment he manifested a miracle….
Shhhhhhhk!
He charged at Patrick with a speed that suddenly more than doubled.
It seemed to be a miracle that increased speed.
Having suddenly closed the distance like that, he swung his mace, filled with divine power and aura, at Patrick.
Kwaaaaaang!
But even his attack, which was more than twice as fast, could not catch Patrick.
Patrick dodged the mace as it was and launched a counterattack at his opponent.
“Just… sleep!”
Kwaaaaaang!
Patrick, who swung his right sword with all his might.
Patrick’s attack, fully loaded with an Aura Blade, sent Sirius flying far away despite hitting the round shield.
But as soon as that happened, a rain of multiple arrows poured down from the left.
“Oh, Yupineeeel!”
“Argh, really…”
Hundreds of golden arrows made of divine power.
Each one possessed a power comparable to the Aura Blade of a 7-star knight.
An area-of-effect annihilation skill that could cause serious damage to an army on the battlefield was focused on just one person.
Unable to ignore this power, Patrick immediately responded.
[ Twin Dragons Eight Sword Forms: Seventh Form: Moonlit Night’s Illusory Dragon ]
Patrick’s figure disappeared from the enemy’s attack as it was.
He then stealthily rushed towards the enemy while his presence was erased.
His target was that Sirius Star, who had been relentlessly shooting arrows of divine power since earlier.
‘I need to take out at least one to catch my breath.’
As he thought that and charged, Patrick’s figure was completely invisible to Sirius.
The moment Patrick, who had approached the enemy stealthily and swiftly, was about to launch a sword strike….
“Oh, Yupinel!”
“Argh, I’m pissed!”
Tatius Owen, who popped out from the side, swung a large bastard sword and attacked Patrick.
Kwaaaaaang!
The Moonlit Night’s Illusory Dragon was broken.
Patrick had to block the enemy’s attack and retreat significantly to the side.
And in the eyes of Tanius Owen, who was looking at the retreated Patrick, a mysterious holy light was flashing.
“It is a strange technique, but it does not work on my vision.”
“Those eyes…. What are they?”
It seemed to be a type of Paladin’s miracle, but it was a technique he had never seen before.
At that, Tanius said….
“It is nothing much. I can only see about 1~2 seconds into the future.”
“……”
That’s plenty special, isn’t it?
‘This is cheating.’
To be able to see 1~2 seconds into the future during a battle?
Then it made sense why the Moonlit Night’s Illusory Dragon was broken.
What was the use of hiding his presence?
It was useless if the future itself was visible to the enemy.
Besides this, they also used the God Hand and Holy Fire that Antorius used.
On top of that, their skills as knights were all outstanding, looking to be at least 5~6 stars.
And most decisively….
Tuduk… tutuduk.
“Are you alright? Oiros?”
“Of course. This is nothing.”
They were all incredibly tough.
Oiros Ryan, who had been sent flying by Patrick’s attack a moment ago, had already gotten up and was surrounding Patrick again.
‘Damn it, this isn’t easy.’
Patrick showed his displeasure.
No matter how he thought about it, it seemed difficult to hold on like this.
At that moment….
“Double Dragon. I’ve heard many rumors, but it is both a relief and a disappointment.”
“What do you mean?”
“When I heard the rumors about you, I often heard that you were a strong person comparable to the Sword Saint.”
“So?”
“Honestly, I didn’t believe it. For us who know what a monster the Sword Saint is, it was an unbelievable thing that you, who are not just young but a child, could be on the same level as the Sword Saint.”
“Sooo?”
“……”
“What do you want to say?”
At Patrick’s sharp, thorny words, Oiros answered.
“Don’t you know?”
“……”
“I’m saying that you are much weaker than the Sword Saint.”
“……”
“In short, the rumors were exaggerated.”
“……”
Patrick’s shoulders slumped.
Then he looked up at the sky and suddenly began to sigh deeply.
“Master…. This is how I live. This is how I live.”
“Hmm? What are you saying?”
“How did I end up like this?”
“Who are you talking to?”
“My friends would laugh if they saw me, right? No, even the Ten Great Evils whose necks I cut off would laugh at this. Hahaha…. A person can be made a fool of in an instant.”
“Are you perhaps mad…”
“Ah…. never mind.”
In an instant, the three Paladins flinched simultaneously and took a step back.
A chilling cold began to swirl in Patrick’s eyes.
And he said to the Paladins.
“Your misfortune is that you are moderately strong and subtly tricky.”
“What…”
“The only fortunate thing is that you’re tough? Maybe you won’t die. If you’re lucky, that is.”
“……”
The Paladins closed their mouths.
It was because they felt that the momentum slowly rising from Patrick’s body was unusual.
And the rise of that power does not stop.
At the ever-growing power of Patrick, the Paladins unconsciously tightened their grip on their weapons.
‘This is… almost on par with the Sword Saint…’
‘No, perhaps…’
To them, Patrick said, grinding his teeth.
“I’ll tell you one last thing.”
“……..”
“Someone telling me ‘You’re weaker than I thought’. That’s the eighth thing I hate.”
“What’s with all the things you hate… huh?”
“And from the single digits, it’s no joke.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Patrick’s body disappeared from the sight of the three Paladins simultaneously.
He reappeared in front of Sirius Star, the fastest among the three Paladins.
The moment Patrick appeared in front of him, he hesitated for a fraction of a second.
Attack? Defense?
It was a very short moment of hesitation where he couldn’t decide which of the two to do, and his body stiffened.
But if the opponent is Patrick Schneider, that fleeting moment of hesitation is all too fatal.
Kwaaaaaang!
“Keuuuk…”
The impact was like being hit by something huge.
Even though he blocked it with his round shield enhanced with divine power, it felt like his arm was falling off.
‘He’s changed.’
His attack power had become one level.
No, more than two levels heavier.
Before, his attack power was already beyond the ordinary 7-star level, but this was on a different dimension.
Could it be that the Hegemon King’s sword, which he had only heard of in rumors, had this kind of power?
To him, who was having such thoughts, Patrick said quietly.
“Brace yourself. Or you’ll die.”
“What…. Heok!”
At that moment, Sirius saw the energy overflowing from Patrick’s entire body turn red.
The moment he saw Patrick, who had turned red like a piece of iron thrown into a furnace, he hurriedly drew out all his strength.
“Oh… Oh Yupinel. Come unto me. Grant me the strength to protect myself from the evil one.”
A hastily recited prayer.
At the same time, a holy light from the sky shone down on him.
It was the Grand Shield, the most powerful defensive miracle he could use.
It could only be used once a day, but it was a miracle that had once withstood even the Sword Saint’s attack.
And using this miracle at this moment was a stroke of heavenly luck.
[ Twin Dragons Eight Sword Forms: Second Form: Great Dragon Cross Sword ]
A huge cross-shaped slash that seemed to split the entire body.
Sirius, who took it head-on, was sent flying.
“Uwaaaaaaaaaah!”
It was useless to try and withstand it.
The massive Aura Blade slash pushed Sirius back and sent him flying far away.
Sirius, who was sent flying far away, crashed through several buildings and was embedded far in the distance.
And Patrick immediately moved on.
“Die!”
Oiros Ryan.
He, who used a bow as his weapon, shot an innumerable number of arrows at Patrick, incomparable to before.
Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwang!
It was a frantic high-speed continuous fire, to the point where his fingers on the bowstring were bleeding.
The reason he was unleashing such a savage attack was not because he had seized an opportunity, but rather….
‘D…. Don’t come.’
It was closer to a desperate struggle born from fear.
He relentlessly shot arrow after arrow, but Patrick advanced, knocking away the arrows of divine power with his twin swords, on which an Aura Blade over 3 meters long had risen.
He had poured out enough arrows to annihilate an army, but it could not stop the monster’s charge.
And finally….
“Got you.”
The moment he heard Patrick’s chilling words, he quickly used a miracle.
“Oh, Yupinel. Your servant begs you. Protect my body!”
At that, his body turned into a golden metal.
Golden Iron Man, a higher-level magic than Steel Body.
It was a high-level miracle that could take a 7-star swordsman’s Aura Blade with the body.
But….
[ Twin Dragons Eight Sword Forms: Third Form: Modified Form: Ten Barrage ]
Kwang! Kwangkwangkwangkwangkwang!
If it doesn’t break, hit it until it breaks.
It was a simple and crude method, but it was a method Patrick frequently used and one that worked well.
Jjeok. Jjeeeok.
“No, no way?”
Oiros was horrified as he felt cracks forming on his body, which had turned to steel.
Regardless, Patrick’s attack went past seven times, eight times, and was reaching the ninth time.
“Wa·it a minute?”
“Di·eeee!”
The final tenth attack.
A chillingly blue flash struck Oiros, who had turned into a golden statue.
At the same time….
Jjeoong!
“Keoheok…”
The sound of something breaking and Oiros’ scream rang out at the same time.
And he too was sent flying in the direction Sirius had gone and crashed at the same time.
