Radiant Dragon’s Otherworldly Reincarnation

Chapter 232. Wipe Them All Out! (3)

The first to fly in were….

“Iron! Are you alright?”

“Riman?”

The Magic Swordsmen led by Riman Ciera.

They literally flew in.

To Iron and his comrades, who had been struggling alone in the sky leading the Magic Swordsmen group, that sight was….

“Hahaha. You look like an angel, Riman.”

“I’m glad you’re safe. Now, fall back and rest.”

At Riman’s words, Iron wanted to bluff and say he would fight to the end, but….

‘I don’t have the strength for that.’

It was difficult enough just to keep his Soul Weapon activated. He nodded and said to Riman.

“I’ll leave the rest to you, Riman….”

And Iron and his comrades slowly descended to the ground.

They did their best.

Even when the mages of the Tower of Truth insisted on retreating, they did not join them and stayed to fight until the end.

If it weren’t for them, the Schneider fiefdom, which had no means to stop the flying monsters, would not have been able to maintain its defensive line.

“You’ve worked hard.”

Riman slightly bowed his head towards his senior. And then he turned his eyes again to look at the enemy that filled his vision.

Riman’s cold eyes were filled with a cold anger.

“Logically….”

He pushed up his glasses and said.

“You guys are dead.”

How was that logical? In any case, Riman, unlike his usual self, radiated a strong fighting spirit and shouted to his comrades.

“Burn them all!”

“Yes!”

Riman and 150 Magic Swordsmen, with their Soul Weapons activated, spewed fire at the enemy.

Then, in the skies of the Schneider fiefdom, an intense scale of explosions and roars, incomparable to before, began to erupt.

Kwaaaang! Kwaang!

“Kieeeeeek!”

“Kaaaaaaah!”

From the sky, well-done Wyverns and Gargoyles fell to the ground.

They clearly demonstrated why the Tower of Truth, despite not being a nation, was one of the three major powers of the continent.

Each Magic Swordsman was powerful on their own.

But their destructive power when gathered as a group was on another level.

Flying through the sky and spewing out immense firepower with their Soul Weapons, it was to the point that one felt sorry for the monsters they faced.

They quickly drove the enemy out of the skies of the Schneider fiefdom.

***

The moment the tide of battle in the sky turned, a similar event occurred on the ground.

“Gooooo!”

Sanson charged at the forefront, leading the Double Dragon Knightly Order.

Formed in a wedge formation, they pierced through the monster horde as if they had become a giant steel spear.

They charged straight ahead and pierced through whatever blocked their path, without a care.

And right behind them….

“Uwoooooooooh!”

“Oooooooooh!”

Green masses of muscle, though disorderly, exuded an unyielding momentum as they overwhelmed the monster legion.

The destructive power of the Orc legion, whose numbers had grown to 2,000, was truly immense.

That green wave was literally swallowing the enemy like a tsunami.

The large-type monsters remaining on the ground were being neatly cleared away like a sandy beach swept by a wave. And….

“All, draw!”

At the command of Kirioth, who had become the king of the Elf tribe, hundreds of Elves drew their bows simultaneously. And then….

“Elemental Arrow, ready!”

At Kirioth’s command, everyone summoned a spirit.

“Salamander.”

“Flame!”

They summoned fire-based spirits and imbued them into their arrows. Some summoned wind spirits to make the flames bigger and stronger.

And then….

“Fire!”

Hundreds of arrows imbued with the flames of spirits soared into the sky. Soon….

Kwang! Kwaaang! Kwang! Kwang! Kwang!

They perpetrated indiscriminate destruction close to a natural disaster.

The number of monsters still swarming in the rear was instantly reduced to less than half.

In the spot where the bombardment had passed for a moment, there were only lumps of meat, indistinguishable from monsters or anything else.

The only thing that was alive and wriggling was….

– Kwoooooar!

The Earth Dragon, half of its body buried in the ground, struggling.

Its hard scales had withstood this immense bombardment.

For one time, that is.

“Prepare for the second attack!”

“Yes!”

“Concentrated fire. Target is the Earth Dragon!”

At Kirioth’s voice, the arrows of all the Elf archers were aimed at the Earth Dragon.

Instantly, the Earth Dragon’s large eyes trembled as if an earthquake had struck.

Was it a warning from its biological instinct for survival?

Kung! Kuung!

It struggled to get out of the ground, but it was no use.

The high-ranking earth spirit summoned by Peioreun would absolutely not allow it freedom of movement. And….

“Fire!”

The hundreds of arrows that flew at Kirioth’s command….

Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwang!

Were concentrated solely on the Earth Dragon and fell.

Truly, not a single arrow missed, all of them.

– Kwoooooar!

The ceaseless attack of the Elves gave the Earth Dragon the experience of the hottest shower in the world.

The Earth Dragon roared in pain, and the soldiers on the castle walls watching the scene had their jaws dropped.

“W-woooow….”

“That, that thing….”

“I’m speechless.”

This immense Earth Dragon was being roasted to a crisp, to the point of pity.

“The Elves are doing that.”

“I know, right?”

“The Elves, of all people.”

Aren’t Elves usually associated with images of being peace-loving, benevolent, gentle, and wise?

But their current appearance was spewing out such terrifying firepower that one would believe them to be incarnations of destruction.

[The Elves are servants of Yupinel, just like humans, and are beings of superior intellect and noble character. Therefore, capturing them and making them slaves is an unjust and barbaric act.]

This was the official definition of Elves announced by the Saint Louis Holy Theocracy.

The words were long, but the content was to prohibit the capture of Elves as slaves.

Why did this come out?

Because they are beings of noble character as stated in the announcement?

No. That was just the public reason.

The real reason they had to make such an announcement was that the Elves’ power was by no means trivial.

Recklessly provoking them and turning them into enemies would create a powerful foe, so they officially announced such a position.

Even if some humans caused trouble, that was just a rampage of a few, and we humans respect and acknowledge you.

They had read the room and acted first.

In other words, the Elves are that strong.

The reason they weren’t pushed back in territorial wars while conflicting with humans for thousands of years is because they are beings with great power.

That power was being proven right here, right now.

– Kwoooooooong!

And the Earth Dragon was dying, letting out its final death cry.

***

The situation had completely changed.

The ground, the sky, and even the Earth Dragon, which had been a serious threat, were all taken care of.

But it wasn’t all over yet.

A streak of light shot straight across the battlefield.

There were things in the way, but it didn’t even bother with them and ran in a straight line.

Its target was the colossal body in front of it.

A monster with a body larger than the Earth Dragon, with nine heads, dragging its belly as it advanced.

The Hydra.

The one charging at that monster was, of course, Patrick.

Other monsters could be left to others.

But the moment he saw it, he realized.

The aura it exuded was not ordinary.

He knew he had to face it himself.

Patrick, turning into a flash of light as he ran.

And right next to him, a streak of golden light followed, matching his speed.

The one and only swordsman who could keep up with Patrick’s speed.

“I will be with you, Young Master.”

It was April.

Wearing armor made from Ogre hide and with her blonde hair tied back tightly, she stood by Patrick’s side.

Patrick silently looked at her and then nodded.

The moment the two of them came to an agreement….

– Khaaaaaaaang!

The nine heads roared simultaneously, spreading a thunderous howling.

A high-pitched sound that physically vibrated the air.

But the two of them did not flinch in the slightest and charged towards the Hydra.

Then, the Hydra, considering them a threat, its throat swelled up bulgingly. And then….

Chwaaaaaaaaaak!

Acidic breath that could melt even steel spewed out from the nine mouths simultaneously.

The nine heads continued to spew acidic solution, following the two as they split to the left and right.

But the two moved at a much faster speed than the Hydra’s acidic breath, avoiding the attack to the very end.

And finally….

– Krrrrrrr….

The Hydra, having spewed out a bout of stomach acid, caught its breath.

The breath attack was over. Then….

Kwaang!

The two, without even exchanging signals, simultaneously charged at the Hydra from the left and right.

The Hydra was momentarily flustered, and in that time, the two who had closed the distance accelerated even further and became flashes of light.

[ Twin Dragons Eight Sword Forms: Third Form: Ultimate Star Flashing Dragon Strike ]

Instantaneously, the two flashes of light, having accelerated twice, struck the Hydra’s body from the left and right.

Kwaaaaaaaang!

– Khaaaaaaaang!

The Hydra screamed from the powerful impact of being hit from both sides at the same time.

Enraged by the intense pain, as if its ribs were breaking, it moved its nine heads simultaneously to attack the small beings that had caused it pain.

Five heads for Patrick.

Four heads for April.

A total of nine heads moved intricately to chew and swallow the two.

Kwajik! Kwaak!

Against the Hydra’s attack, which could chew up even hard ground or rocks like cookies, Patrick and April responded with even more agile movements.

The Hydra’s sharp teeth repeatedly bit nothing but empty air due to the two’s movements, which were so fast that it was hard to even catch an afterimage. And….

Kakakakakak!

In that gap, Patrick’s slashes were swiftly swung.

In less than a second, five or six attacks struck the Hydra’s shoulder, but its scales remained intact.

“Tsk, scales that can withstand Sword Qi….”

It was Sword Qi imbued with 7-star internal energy, but the Hydra easily withstood the attack.

April, having confirmed that, changed her course and charged at the Hydra’s head.

‘If the Young Master’s Aura Blade doesn’t work, mine won’t either.’

The scales on its torso looked hard at a glance.

But what about the neck part that moved so gracefully and agilely?

April’s body, which had quickly leaped out, rotated at high speed, parallel to the ground.

April, spinning like a top, reached the Hydra’s neck and unleashed a full moon slash.

Chwaaaaaaak!

The attack was so sharp that it sent one of the Hydra’s necks flying.

April, having sent one of the nine heads flying, landed on the ground and shouted.

“Young Master. We have to aim for the necks.”

“Right. The necks, you say?”

Patrick licked his lips.

If there’s a weakness, the attack is easy.

The Sword Qi formed on Patrick’s sword grew beyond 3 meters, to 4 meters…, then to 5 meters.

And Patrick, who had increased his Sword Qi to the point where he could slice off the massive Hydra’s head in a single blow….

“It’s over.”

[ Twin Dragons Eight Sword Forms: First Form: Black and White Twin Dragons Dance ]

The left-hand sword and the right-hand sword moved in a dazzling yet bizarre trajectory, beginning to cleanly sever the Hydra’s necks.

One, two, three, four….

The eight remaining heads, excluding the one April had already cut, were severed all too easily.

The Hydra’s massive heads fell to the ground with thudding sounds, and finally, even the last head was cleanly sent flying.

“Easier than I thought…. Hmm.”

Patrick, who had landed on the ground, frowned.

He had sent all nine heads flying, but he could still feel qi from the Hydra’s body.

It didn’t seem to have gotten smaller than before either.

And he could immediately understand the reason.

“Young Master.”

Simultaneously with April’s shout, the Hydra’s teeth lunged at Patrick.

Kwajik!

Well, it was just an afterimage.

The real Patrick was already standing behind April with a composed expression.

“It regenerates its heads?”

“…….”

“That’s absurd. What kind of creature is that?”

At Patrick’s appearance, April swept her chest in relief.

She had been quite startled for a moment, but thinking about it, the Young Master was not one to be hit by such an attack. However….

“This is going to be a bit of a headache.”

Patrick frowned as he watched the heads gradually regenerate from the severed sections of the necks, accompanied by bubbling foam.

It seemed that for this creature, the head was not such a fatal weak point.

Even a Troll would die if its head was sent flying, but this creature nonchalantly regenerated it.

‘The weak spot must be the torso.’

Patrick’s qi sense could clearly feel it.

The source of qi felt deep within the Hydra’s torso, protected by those hard scales.

That was probably its weak spot.

However, the scales on its torso were too hard.

So hard that it was difficult to cut with Patrick’s Sword Qi.

‘Should I use my full power? No…, I can’t.’

If he exerted his full power to unleash his Sword Qi, he would be able to win. But he couldn’t use up all his strength on this creature here. It was at that moment.

Peoong!

An arrow cloaked in the flame of a spirit flew and exploded on the regenerating Hydra’s head.

The one who fired that arrow was….

“Patrick. Please cut the heads again. I will provide cover.”

“Elione?”

It was the Elven Knight, Elione.
