Radiant Dragon’s Otherworldly Reincarnation

Chapter 201. Isn’t This Enough? (3)

April, along with Isabella, Matthew, and Riman Ciera, all joined the scene.

And they were horrified to see the pandemonium.

“What in the world is going on?”

“It seems to be another war.”

“Are they kidding me?”

Isabella scowled and ground her teeth.

Her head was already aching just from Patrick’s personal issues, and now another war here?

From now on, if anyone called Elves a race of peace, she felt like she would beat them to a pulp. But…

“Dark Elves? I see. So that’s what happened.”

Riman Ciera’s eyes widened as he spotted the Dark Elves.

Right. This made sense.

He didn’t know the detailed circumstances, but Dark Elves had appeared before him.

If so, the reason for the war was clear enough.

Riman Ciera’s expression hardened as he drew his sword. And then…

“Mers, Ignil, Ragios, Turan, Aria.”

Riman Ciera immediately activated all five of his Soul Weapons.

The Soul Weapons of the four major elements floated around him in the air, glowing faintly as they armed themselves.

In that state, he spoke.

“Riman Ciera, of the Tower of Truth. I shall join the fray to eradicate the seeds of evil.”

Dark Elves were objects of hatred for Elves, but for humans, they were also targets for eradication.

After all, they were beings who had become slaves to the Demons.

Thus, Riman Ciera, a Magic Swordsman heavily armed with Soul Weapons, stepped forward. And…

“I will help as well.”

“I’m joining. As for Patrick’s matter… let’s talk about it later.”

Matthew and Isabella also stepped forward, raising their weapons.

April had already drawn her weapons long ago.

Seeing this, Kantaros bared his teeth.

“Do you think a few humans joining will change the situation?”

“I bet it will.”

The one who answered Kantaros was Kirios, who was chuckling while lying collapsed far away.

He knew, to some extent, the power of these humans.

Although the monster named Patrick was absent, the humans present here were also considerable powerhouses.

Kirios raised his right hand towards Kantaros, with the back of his hand showing. Then, he raised his middle finger.

It was a curse he had learned while interacting with humans, and for some reason, it seemed fitting to use in this atmosphere.

And Kirios squeezed out his remaining strength and said.

“Go get fucked.”

As soon as those words ended, April became a streak of light and lunged at Kantaros.

Kwaaaang!

“Ugh…”

April’s strike dealt a considerable shock even to Kantaros, who was protected by Demonic Energy.

Sparks flew in the eyes of Kantaros, who was pushed back.

“This bitch…”

Kantaros ground his teeth and raised his hand to counterattack April. But when he raised his fist, brimming with Demonic Energy, April was no longer in front of him.

After landing a blow on Kantaros, she moved without stopping.

And she charged towards the Dark Elves who were slaughtering Elves elsewhere.

‘Faster… even faster…’

Shiiiik!

Her figure became a flash of light, zipping and flashing in all directions.

[ Twin Dragons Eight Sword Forms: Third Form: Flashing Dragon Strike: Modified Form: Big Dipper Seven Linked Strikes ]

“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! BOOM!”

Kwang! Kwang! Kwang! Kwang! Kwaang!

The Big Dipper Seven Linked Strikes was originally a finishing attack that focused seven clones on a single person to activate simultaneously.

But April divided it to use on multiple people.

So the power was slightly reduced.

But it was enough to push back the Dark Elves who, drunk on blood, were in the middle of slaughtering Elves.

With just one move.

With that single move, she simultaneously saved the Elves who were being unilaterally killed and gathered the Dark Elves’ attention on herself.

“Kill that human woman first!”

“Don’t be careless. She’s fast!”

After the continuous attack, April landed lightly, slightly closed her eyes, and quietly regulated her breathing.

“Hoo…”

And the next moment.

As she opened her eyes, her body once again became a golden flash.

“Block… keok.”

“Aargh!”

“Kuaaaargh!”

The enemies fell, allowing the attack from the flash that came without any time to prepare.

Kwaang! Kwang! Kwaaaang!

Despite being protected by Demonic Energy all over their bodies, the attack was so powerful that screams erupted from their mouths.

Such attacks continued to fly in succession, pushing the Dark Elves back.

April was single-handedly overwhelming ten Dark Elves.

“…My goodness.”

“Is… isn’t she stronger than Sir Patrick?”

“No way. No, but…”

The Elves just stared blankly at April’s performance.

There were those who wanted to help, but they couldn’t move either.

It was a different dimension.

They had also learned Aura, but with their current skills, they would only be a hindrance, not a help.

They could only clench their fists and watch April’s performance.

And the Dark Elves…

“Yiik…”

“Get her! Grab her and hold on!”

“This bitch… keok!”

“Dammiiiit!”

They were furious to the core, madly swinging their Demonic Energy and striking everything around them.

Kwang! Kwaaaang!

The terrifying destructive power was destroying the forest, but it couldn’t even graze April, their target.

They tried to counterattack at the right moment while accepting the damage, but it was useless.

Kwang!

“Keok… Uaaargh!”

The Dark Elf who received a shock to his back gritted his teeth and swung his arm backward.

But his hand grasped nothing.

April was already far away, taking another’s blind spot and attacking.

The difference in speed was too great.

The Dark Elves were repeatedly beaten one-sidedly by attacks that could come from anywhere at any time.

Seeing the Dark Elves struggling against a single person, Kantaros shouted loudly.

“Group up and respond! Don’t let that bitch attack our blind spots!”

“Right.”

“Everyone group up. Watch each other’s backs!”

As instructed, the Dark Elves gathered in one place and took a stance to respond to April’s hit-and-run attacks.

At that, the feet of April, who had been moving freely at high speed, stopped for the first time. Then, she raised her head to the sky and shouted loudly.

“Sir Riman!”

Then, as if waiting, Riman’s reply came from the sky.

“Turan, Ignil.”

Then, above his head, far higher, something sparkled.

The light grew larger, and as it got close enough to be distinguished by the naked eye, it horrified people.

“A fireball? No, a meteor?”

“Crazy…”

What was falling were boulders imbued with flames. The target was the group of clustered Dark Elves.

Riman pointed at them with his sword and shouted.

“Die, all of you!”

Kwaaaang! Kwang! Kuuuung!

And the attack exploded.

The power was truly terrifying.

Enough to completely devastate the entire area designated by Riman.

“…No way.”

“Did Patrick really beat that person?”

At that terrifying destructive power, Matthew and Isabella were dumbfounded with admiration.

Looking at the two, Riman pushed up his glasses, smiled, and said.

“It’s an attack created with the legendary magic, Meteor Shower, as a motif.”

“Meteor Shower? How could you, a Magic Swordsman…”

“It’s not the same magic. It’s a technique I developed by researching how to logically achieve a similar effect.”

Riman spoke calmly, but this was incredible.

Ordinary Magic Swordsmen, if they wanted to increase their power, would simply train to raise the output of their Soul Weapons.

Because raising the output also increases the destructive power.

But Riman delved into the principles to create an attack of great destructive power with even a low output.

He imbues the earth element, which has strong physical attack power, with the fire element, and then raises it to the highest possible position.

And during the attack, he lets it fall naturally downwards while guiding its drop point to the target.

By doing so, it becomes a pseudo-meteor with a similar principle to Meteor Shower, though not the real thing.

An attack that maximizes destructive power by deeply studying the properties of elements and borrowing the force of gravity.

It was an attack befitting Riman Ciera, who delves deep into principles and repeats his research.

Riman pushed up his glasses with a proud expression and said.

“No matter how strong the Dark Elves are, they won’t be able to escape this unscathed…”

Shiiiik!

It was then.

Countless semicircular blades of Demonic Energy flew and attacked him, who was floating in the air.

“Kuk…”

Riman moved hastily to dodge the attacks, but there were too many that came suddenly for him to avoid them all.

Blades made of dense Demonic Energy grazed his body, and a terrible pain was felt in those spots.

“Keuuuuk…”

In the pain that felt like his flesh was burning, Riman Ciera scowled.

In his eyes, the dust cleared to reveal the Dark Elves.

Their clothes were dirty and there were wounds here and there on their bodies, but no one was fatally injured.

Rather, their murderous expressions filled with rage had become even more threatening than before.

“How dare a human brat…”

“I’ll tear you apart alive and chew on your heart.”

“I’ll kill you. I’ll definitely kill you.”

The ferocious killing intent he faced in his first real battle.

‘Hmm…’

Riman unknowingly flinched and was about to step back.

He would have, if not for the two backs blocking his front.

“Can you do that attack one more time?”

“It will take some time, but… yes. I can do it.”

“Then get ready. We’ll protect you.”

In front of him, Matthew and Isabella stood with their swords drawn, protecting him.

And they deflected the blades of Demonic Energy thrown by the Dark Elves, protecting Riman.

That sight moved Riman quite a bit.

Young powerhouses who had reached the realms of 4-star and 5-star respectively.

But objectively speaking, they were by no means stronger than Riman.

However, these two’s combat experience was far superior to Riman’s.

These two quickly grasped what they needed to do in this situation and were doing their best at it.

Watching the two block the Dark Elves’ attacks, Riman said with a determined expression.

“Please buy me five minutes.”

And Riman focused his mind again.

Behind his back, boulders began to float up, imbued with flames, and started to rise into the air.

Of course, the Dark Elves did not intend to just stand by and watch.

“Stop him!”

“Kill that Magic Swordsman fir… Kraargh!”

It was then.

A streak of light flashed and rushed into the group of Dark Elves.

The same attack as before.

But the situation was different.

The blade of the Aura Blade, clearly imbued in the sword’s edge, cut through the Dark Elf’s Demonic Energy and sent his head flying.

And April, who revealed herself in the place where the flash had passed, stood on the fallen enemy’s head and said quietly.

“So you can’t block an Aura Blade.”

“……”

At first, she had struck with a 5-star level Aura for the sake of distributing her power.

And that attack did shock the enemy, but it wasn’t enough to pierce through the protection of Demonic Energy. But…

Wooooong.

The Dark Elves looked at the Aura Blade imbued in April’s twin swords with fearful eyes.

That could not be blocked.

The enemy had gained an attack method that could pierce their Demonic Energy.

April spoke to the Dark Elves in a cold voice.

“One down, for now.”

The Dark Elves took a step back in terror.

Although they were encroached upon by Demonic Energy, they were originally Elves skilled in rational judgment.

Therefore, they could quickly grasp it.

That the situation had completely changed.

***

“Huk!”

Radiant Dragon Great Master Jin Cheon shot up from his seat.

Then his wife, Dang Suryeon, who was sleeping next to him, also woke up and opened her eyes, saying.

“What’s wrong?”

“No, it’s just… maybe I’m tired?”

“Hmmmm…”

His wife lay sideways beside him, looking at him with worried eyes.

“Did an old wound act up? Like the injury you got from overexerting yourself at the Falling Phoenix Sect?”

“Falling Phoenix Sect…”

At his wife’s words, Jin Cheon muttered to himself without realizing.

Right. The Falling Phoenix Sect. The day he shattered the Unorthodox Alliance’s inescapable net and engraved his legend in the martial world of Jianghu.

But…

“Umm…”

Jin Cheon touched his forehead as if his head was aching.

“Are you really in pain? Should I check your pulse?”

“No, it’s not that. I’m fine.”

Jin Cheon soothed his worried wife and got up from his seat. Then he put on his outer robe.

“Where are you going?”

“I’m just going to get some fresh air.”

“If you go out and come back drunk, you’re dead.”

At his wife’s words, Jin Cheon chuckled and said.

“I won’t, so don’t worry.”

“You talk a good game.”

After soothing his wife like that, Jin Cheon went outside.

Taking a walk in the night air, Jin Cheon let out a sigh.

“This is driving me crazy.”

“What is?”

“Whoa, you scared me!”

Jin Cheon shouted abruptly.

And he yelled at his Master, who had appeared behind him without a sound.

“Ah, please don’t just pop out like that. You know that sneaking up on me from behind without making a sound is the forty-ninth thing I hate, right?”

“Stop adding to that list of things you hate.”

“Telling me to stop adding to the list of things I hate is the forty-fourth… Ouch. Alright, let’s talk.”

“……”

His Master sighed and sheathed the sword he had half-drawn.

And he sighed again and said.

“What’s got you so worked up?”

“It’s just. I was thinking that a person’s greed knows no end.”

“Thinking of your greed as the standard for an ordinary person is a bit…”

“You’re hurting your disciple’s feelings, Master.”

“Let’s just move on.”

At his Master’s words, Jin Cheon sighed.

“Everything I want is here.”

“……”

“The sect where I grew up, my junior brothers and nephews who are terribly untalented but have a tiny bit of praiseworthy aspects, a beautiful wife. Friends who buy me drinks, and…”

“……”

“The Master who changed my life.”

“……”

“Everything I earnestly wished for and missed is all here. But…”

“But what?”

“Now that what I missed has been fulfilled. I’ve now come to regret what I left behind.”

“……”

“It’s ridiculous, isn’t it? I missed living as Radiant Dragon Great Master Jin Cheon so much, but now that I’m actually doing it…”

Jin Cheon squeezed his eyes shut and spoke the words that were buried deep in his heart.

“I’ve come to miss living as Patrick Schneider.”

His Master replied calmly.

“Is that so?”
