Reborn As Villain's
Chapter 10: Dylan vs. Oscar Part 4.

A moment later, the collapsed Dylan slowly began to rise. While enduring the pain and a limp body he tried to stand up straight.

"No.... Still am.... Hasn't..... Thats enough..... I've gotta..... Protecting..... All....".

Trudgingly, Dylan muttered that he would keep trying to protect something precious to him.

The feeling reappeared just like when he fought with Fafnir. A warm feeling that everyone gives her. Dylan also believes that feeling is what is able to push him to go beyond the limits he has.

It really proved to be.

When Dylan single-handedly managed to defeat Fafnir and destroy the invisible chain that shackled him all along.

Seeing the persistence shown by Dylan made Oscar rise and attack him again.

The sword happened again between the two. During the swordfight, Oscar began to laugh at the firm attitude Dylan held.

"Haha....... You tried desperately to protect others, until willing to sacrifice your life!!! Naivety has its limits, Dylan... War is not a beautiful thing. People think that it's a trivial thing won't be able to survive. It's about "killing or being killed". Other people have nothing to do.... Am I wrong".

The sword attack was very intense. Until there was finally a gap between them, it was immediately in Dylan's favor to strike back.

He immediately strengthened his katana sword with Augmention magic, coating it with wind magic. And increase his speed and physical strength with Boots and Power Up.

"Phantom Blade's. Grand Wind's".

And in an instant Dylan's figure disappeared in front of Oscar. Miraculously, his body was suddenly hit by a slash and spurted a lot of blood.

(Damn, I'm darting).

It turned out that the attack came from Dylan who was now behind him. Oscar realized that when passing earlier, Dylan managed to land an attack on his body.

Meanwhile, Dylan was irritated that his attack had again failed. Seeing that Oscar again laughed out loud.

"Haha....... I guess I was right. Is it just this much power to "protect" the other person? That's wrong......".

Simultaneously Oscar re-activated his Berserk skill and began to attack Dylan again.

"....... In a fight there is no term "protecting others". They are nothing more than a burden. And because of that stupid principle of yours, you can't bring out your true abilities......".

Oscar is getting brutal at Dylan. And Dylan could only try to resist the Oscar attack.

Aware Dylan did not respond too much to his provocation. Oscar tried to provoke again.

"...... Just so you know. In this world, fear dominates everything. People who believe in useless good. I WILL LOSE IN THE END... YOU GET IT, RIGHT? DYLAN!!!".

With a single swing of an extremely powerful sword from Oscar instantly knocked down Dylan and sent him retreating several meters.

Surprisingly, this time Dylan managed to keep his position to stay standing.

Slowly his facial expression turned dark again, he just fell silent without saying anything. Then one of his hands started touching his chest.

Seeing Dylan's actions suddenly become passive, Oscar also fell silent to notice him.

After a moment of silence. Dylan began to speak in response to Oscar's provocation.

"Oscar, I thank you. Thanks to you, I can finally remember what I've forgotten".

Oscar only raised one of his eyebrows as a sign of the confusion Dylan said.

"You're right, my half-hearted determination will not be able to protect the precious people in my life. Because that......".

Then Dylan's hand that was still touching his chest started to clench very firmly. And Dylan went back on.

"....... Starting today...... I WILL NEVER HESITATE AGAIN!!!".

With all his might, the hand was like pulling something. Although not visible to the naked eye, what really happened was that Dylan again destroyed the invisible chain that bound him.

With the destruction and release of the chain, Dylan's power increased drastically to the point of causing an incredible magic explosion.

"Roooaairrr......".

With that explosive force, Dylan also roared as loudly as a savage beast that had just escaped from its cage.

Oscar, who saw the incident, could only be shocked and silent. He started to mutter in his heart.

(W-what the fuck? What a crazy power? I didn't know he had this much power?).

Then he looked at his endlessly trembling right hand and his body that continued to let out cold sweat.

(This feeling? The same feeling I felt at the time. As this boy stared intently at me).

Actually what Dylan had just done was that he had just activated his Unique Skill Limitless.

Not only that, along with the activation of the skill, the power of Fafnir in Dylan's body also came out.

Dylan knew that activating this skill was very risky for himself. He only had 2 minutes to use it.

And he had to finish this fight before the 2 minutes were over.

(----------)

In the city.

Apparently Dylan's screams and his leaked magic energy can be felt by everyone, including Filaret, the conscious Hyoga and Pavline who are at the refugee base

"Daddy screams and this magic energy...".

"Yes, Fira... It's no mistake, it's magic and screaming..... Dylan".

Although they were far away from the gate, they could feel Dylan's overflowing magical power.

Amidst everyone's confusion, Pavline who was already unable to contain his worries stood up from his seat and immediately ran as fast as possible towards where Dylan and Oscar were fighting right now.

"Mother!!".

"Tavline!!!".

Seeing the running Pavline made Hyoga and Filaret call out and decided to chase her from behind.

Pavline continued running while continuing to shed tears as an embodiment of his worry that he could no longer bear.

(Dy-chan's.... Mother please.... Hang in).

Inwardly, Pavline prayed that his dear son would be fine.

(-----------)

Outside the wall.

It's been 1 minute. 1 Minute left.

Dylan and Oscar's fight reached *******.

A sword battle with high speed again occurred between the two. This time each time their swords collided would create an incredible explosion.

What's different is that Oscar now seems to be struggling to cope with every attack of Dylan.

Even though he had already activated his Berserk skill, it was still not enough to overcome the great power Dylan unleashed

(Damn, what the hell is this).

An exasperated Oscar begins to unleash one of his flagship techniques.

"Berserk. Guillotine Chamber".

A huge slash attack descended from the sky preparing to attack Dylan.

Not to be outdone Dylan pulled out one of his flagship techniques as well.

"Limitless. Shield Impluse's".

"WHAT?"

An attack that instantly blocked and destroyed the Oscar attack. This surprised Oscar.

(He threw out the magic energy accumulated on the ground and encouraged him to reverse my attack while simultaneously destroying it).

30 Seconds left.

Aware of his limited time Dylan again attacked Oscar so fiercely and didn't even give him a pause.

Each Oscar counterattacks Dylan back to fend him off easily. This made Oscar even more angry.

20 Seconds left.

They are still attacking each other. However, now the side effects of Limitless are beginning to be felt. But, as much as possible Dylan ignored her.

10 Seconds left.

Dylan again launched his attack as well as Oscar who did not want to lose.

5 Seconds left.

"LET'S END THIS NOW, RANCID BOY".

Oscar who had reached his limit immediately prepared to release his ultimate technique once again.

"ALL RIGHT, LET'S END THIS".

Dylan who also agreed immediately got ready to bring out his ultimate technique.

3 Seconds left.

Finished with their respective preparations, the two immediately darted and lunged in preparing for the clash of forces that would end this long fight.

2 Seconds left.

"SERK. THE GUILLOTINE OF SKY".

"LIMITLESS. PHANTOM DIVINE PLEASE".

1 Second remaining.

A very violent and crazy clash occurred again, but this time with incredible explosive power. Both of them gave off all the power they had.

Eventually, the outcome of this fight came.

Because right when the time shows the remaining 0 seconds.

Dylan destroyed Oscar's power. Not only that, Dylan even managed to split the Oscar into 2 by slashing it horizontally.

"It's.... Impossible.... L'm.... Lose out".

Oscar was shocked by the outcome of the fight. He is confident that he will come out as the winner.

But destiny says something else.

He instead lost to Dylan a young man who was only 14 years old who should have no fighting experience.

(----------)

Meanwhile, with the last strike earlier, Dylan's Limitless strength was sealed again. However, the Limitless effect made Dylan begin to feel an overwhelming sense of exhaustion.

After regaining his composure, Dylan walked towards Oscar who was now helplessly sprawled. Dylan kept staring at Oscar because he knew Oscar wasn't completely dead.

"You're alive, aren't you, Oscar? Your body's endurance can be too. Just a cockroach".

Seeing Dylan talk to him, Oscar decides to use his last minute to have a little chat with Dylan.

"Rancid boy. Do you hate me that much? Well, this sucks 'cause I'm gonna die".

Then Oscar began to notice Dylan who seemed to be ordinary with what he was witnessing.

"Hou.... You said you never killed anyone, right? Then why don't you just be disgusted or throw up when you see my condition?".

".... That's because I've prepared myself. To be ready, when the day I see death right before my own eyes comes".

"That's so.... Haaa, until now I had absolutely no idea, why would a young man like you insist on defeating me... Damn it... But stay a little more.... If I could destroy another kingdom. Then be King. I can get the girl".

"Sorry, I don't care if you can get it or not. I'm just doing what I think is right".

"Your mouth is very bad.... You're supposed to comfort me who's dying".

Dylan simply fell silent and continued to look at Oscar this time with a look that showed an expression of sympathy.

"Yes already... Whatever your reasons, I'm satisfied that there is a strong young man who can defeat me..... I think it's the first time I've been able to fight this much.... But, if you don't have that crazy Unique Skill and that weird power, I'll definitely win..... It's not that I don't accept defeat, but I'm just telling you the truth..... Strong determination, yes..... I don't think I'm destined to have it".

While staring at the sky, Oscar's gaze slowly began to fade. And he knows the time won't be long.

"Aaaah..... I'm gonna be dead soon..... Good bye Dylan.... It's good to be able to fight with you".

As the word ended, Oscar breathed his last. His eyes became empty and his body became stiff.

Dylan who saw that was only silent a thousand languages and could only lower his head.

"Good way, Oscar... I hope you can rest in peace".

From the back.

"DY-CHAN!!!".

Dylan immediately flinched and immediately turned his head back when he heard someone call his name.

From the tone of voice and the way she abbreviated the name, it was certain that it was her mother. And sure enough when his gaze was directed to the gate there was the figure of Pavline running towards him, followed by Filaret and Hyoga behind him.

"Mom, Dad, Fira".

Dylan tried to get closer, but only a few steps did his body start to daze and he started to be unable to maintain his position.

Because he couldn't stand it anymore, Dylan began to fall. Fortunately, Filaret ran faster than Pavline and immediately gave support so that Dylan's body would not fall.

After holding Dylan so as not to fall. Filaret hugged him very tightly and began to cry.

It's not just Filaret. His mother Pavline also hugged Dylan very tightly and cried.

"Youngpam..... Thank goodness, thank goodness Nii-san is okay waaaaa".

"Youngpam...... Don't worry mom, honey. I don't know what to do if you don't have waaa.....".

"Mom, Fira. Relax, I'm fine".

Dylan desperately tried to calm the two down. While Hyoga could only look while exhaling as a sign that he was also relieved to see his son survived.

(-----------)

After that heartwarming moment.

Dylan was immediately taken to receive treatment and Filaret was told to accompany him.

Meanwhile Hyoga stays at the place with Pavline to examine Oscar's corpse. Pavline, who had no idea, tried to ask her husband.

"Honey. Who the hell is he?".

"Oscar Niville Dragon. The ninth seat of the 10 holy knights belongs to the Kingdom of Rachael. He is also called the strongest among the 9 other members".

"If he is the strongest, why even occupy the ninth seat. And why did he pull an attacker here?".

"Because of his barbaric and brutal behavior, he could not rise in rank. And the reason why he attacked this town. From what Dylan said he planned to make this Arcadia region his base. To spark a war with the Ingrid Kingdom".

Pavline immediately gasped at Hyoga's explanation.

"Well, let's take care of the body first. Then we take care of the others".

Hyoga immediately gave instructions to his subordinates to bring Oscar's corpse to the Arcadia residence. And while the rest take care of the corpses of monsters that are scattered everywhere.

Without them noticing there was a mysterious figure of a black-robed woman watching him from a distance.

From the beginning, he had already seen all of these fights. And he couldn't stop smiling especially when he saw the potential Dylan had.

"Heeee.... Dylan van Arcadia, huh? So, that kid Sonia's guarding, huh? I didn't expect that he was "so interesting....".

The mysterious woman immediately turned her body and was about to step away, but she briefly looked towards Linic City and started muttering.

"This time I'm backing down, yeah..... I also don't want to deal with the Angry Arc Angel.... Entertain me next time, yes!!! Dylan-kun's".

The woman immediately disappeared just like that as if she had vanished with nothing left.

On the other side.

The woman's movements have been monitored by Sonia, who has been standing on top of the clock tower since the attack.

From the irritated look he exuded, it seemed like Sonia knew who the mysterious woman was.
