My Reflector Is Invincible - Chapter 71
My Reflector Is Invincible 71
71. Huh?
“What are you doing? I told you to bring him quickly?”
The great warrior was speechless at Joo-yeon’s words.
It wasn’t because of the impudence of asking him to bring the Champion, the tribe’s patriarch and spiritual pillar.
[Gold]
And it was an uncountable amount, even if one were to try to count it with their eyes.
It was as if the gold had been piled up like a tower.
Before he knew it, his sunglasses had slid down his nose in his shock.
“This is the first time I’ve ever seen so much gold in my life.”
The macho man’s voice trembled.
“Wh… Where did you get this much wealth….”
“It’s my money, so what? Do you have a problem with that?”
There was no way he could have a problem with it.
“No, this should be enough to qualify you to meet the patriarch.”
“Then lead the way.”
“I will. But first, let’s take care of this gold.”
Just as the macho man bent down to pick up the gold, Joo-yeon stopped him.
“The patriarch comes first.”
“……!”
Joo-yeon smiled like a fox at his bewildered expression.
“Why? You might as well just take the money and run, right?”
“How can we possibly trust you?”
“Aha! So your patriarch is such a wimp that he can’t even catch a guy trying to escape from his own territory? Then I guess there’s no need to meet him?”
“……Tch.”
The macho man frowned.
He wanted to say, ‘Yeah, take the money and get lost,’ but it was too much money to do that.
While he hesitated, the eyes of the tramps, blinded by the gleam of the gold, flashed.
“Mo… Money!”
“I could have another go at it with that money!”
They all rushed towards it as if possessed by the allure of gold. To be more precise, they were aiming for the leading role.
The macho man grimaced.
“Get lost this instant!”
BAM!
The men whose eyes had been clouded by his overwhelming aura were all sent flying.
However, no matter how powerful his aura was, it couldn’t extinguish the people’s desire for gold.
“You think you can have it all to yourself!”
“As if!”
Some of them charged at him with daggers in hand.
Of course, it was futile.
CLANG!
They were repelled by his dark brown muscles.
And that wasn’t all.
The macho man caught the flying daggers in his mouth and shattered them into pieces.
In the meantime, those who had rushed at him had their waists bent double.
That was the end of the situation.
Dozens of people had been subdued by a single man.
His appearance made Joo-in’s eyes gleam.
‘He’s quite something?’
In particular, the technique he had just used looked familiar.
＜Steel Skin＞
It was a technique that the barbarians basically learned, which allowed them to temporarily make their skin as hard as steel.
If mastered to the extreme, it was a technique that could even return damage to the opponent.
It was somewhat similar to ＜Reflection＞.
‘However, unlike ＜Reflection＞, it’s impossible to perfectly reflect.’
It simply received the damage in full and returned only a portion of it.
But even so, there was something noticeable about it.
‘Is that the blessing that the barbarian chieftain recently received?’
Monstrous strength capable of crumpling a human body like a ball.
Reflex nerves that activated in less than 0.1 seconds.
He had even shattered the dagger with his teeth.
The great warriors of the past were also incredibly strong, but the man before his eyes seemed special.
The macho man, who had quickly cleaned up the surroundings, shouted.
“What are you all doing! Hurry up and throw this trash out of the village!”
Wow!
Warriors who had been hiding at the great warrior’s command revealed themselves.
Their appearance made Haken gasp in surprise.
“Where the hell were you all hiding?”
Dae-do clicked his tongue.
“Clever bastards. They were lurking in the shadows.”
Did it mean they had that much faith in the macho man since none of their peers came out?
At that moment, the macho man turned his back on the retreating losers.
“This money is mine.”
He tried to pick up the massive amount of gold that Joo-yeon had failed to retrieve.
But there was nothing there.
For a moment, the macho man looked confused.
“Oops. Sorry. You were too slow, so I helped myself to some.”
“……!”
Dae-ho had gotten there first.
He had used his skills, which were almost as good as they had been in his prime, to sweep up every single coin.
It had all been according to Joo-yeon’s plan.
From the very beginning, he had left a large amount of gold in front of the enemy because he trusted them to some extent.
‘Take good care of it. Don’t lose a single penny.’
‘Trust me, man. Do you think I’d steal something like that?’
‘How can you trust a thief? I’ll check it later, so don’t try anything funny.’
‘Ugh…….’
Dae-ho had been annoyed, but Joo-yeon knew him very well.
[Kleptomaniac]
It was one of Dae-ho’s quirks.
He had a habit of stealing other people’s things without even realizing it.
‘If you let your guard down, he’ll even steal your underwear.’
Of course, if their affinity was high, there was no safer joker than him.
For example, he would automatically defend against the enemy’s item theft. He was literally the best watchdog.
‘But raising that affinity is a pain in the ass.’
After all, it’s not easy for a thief to sincerely follow someone else.
Of course, the important thing right now was this.
“If you don’t let us meet the patriarch, we’ll take this money and go. Is that okay?”
Joo-yeon looked at the macho man, who was gritting his teeth.
He could tell just by talking to him.
From Noble mtl dot com
The men were pretending not to be, but judging from the atmosphere in the village, they were crazy about ‘money’.
Did they really think that gambling, entry fees, and tournaments were all just for fun?
On top of that, they weren’t rich enough to have their eyes on this amount of money.
‘Well, I don’t know why these savages, who look down on gold, have become like this.’
So he had no choice but to capture them.
They were the ones who had come looking for them, but it was actually the other side that was at a disadvantage.
‘Get it? It’s not you guys who are making the offer, it’s me.’
As expected.
“Follow me.”
Joo-yeon smiled as the macho man turned around, gritting his teeth.
* * *
The place the macho man led to had a clear view of the arena.
It was filled with the shouts of the people.
Wow!
Kill!
Kill them all!
Inside the arena, people were fighting monsters.
They were people who looked like debtors and monsters that looked like lions with sharp teeth.
Roar!
Of course, the fight was one-sided.
The people were bitten by the monsters’ teeth. In an instant, blood spurted everywhere.
At that sight, Haken frowned.
“What kind of cruel thing is this!”
The macho man replied as if it was nothing.
“It’s the most popular fight these days. A fight with monsters for your life.”
“But… that’s too cruel…”
“They all fight because they want to. If they win, all their debts will be cleared.”
“Even so…”
“That’s the deal. If you don’t like it, don’t do it. We didn’t force you.”
Haken grimaced.
In his experience, those who said such things were the worst.
So it was even more surprising.
‘Those who say honor is more important than life are doing such a thing. They’re worse than the thugs in the back alleys.’
However, Jooyeon was curious about something else.
“Don’t you guys fight?”
“It’s not fun if we fight. We can kill those monsters with one blow.”
The macho man showed off his bulging muscles.
Judging from his skills earlier, it was definitely not a lie.
It was because of a much stronger power than Jooyeon remembered from the past.
“Is it because of that blessing?”
“Yes. It’s called the Blessing of the Body. Just by breathing here, we become stronger.”
“So where is the chieftain?”
“This way.”
The place the macho man headed to was at the end of the stands.
It was on a whole different level than before.
[VVIP Room]
It was a room that was the epitome of luxury.
All kinds of alcohol and food, and naked people were everywhere.
The nobles and savage warriors in the room were enjoying themselves to the fullest.
Dae-do scoffed at the sight.
“Warriors who know honor indulge in alcohol and women. Even the savage warriors are all dead.”
“A night thief dares to talk about honor? How funny.”
“What, Inma? Even thieves have their own honor! At least these… are so different from the ones I knew!”
However, Daedo did not move rashly.
‘All the greatest warriors are gathered here.’
I could tell by the energy alone.
Each and every one here was a top warrior, just below the greatest warriors.
The problem wasn’t just the savage warriors.
Haken whispered to Jooyeon.
“The nobles’ escorts are no joke either, are they?”
“Of course. They must have the wealth and power to stay here so comfortably.”
It was truly a tiger’s den.
If you make a mistake, you could lose your life to the nobles or the savage warriors.
However, Jooyeon chuckled.
“This is fun.”
What should I call these guys? Corrupt warriors? Or crazy warriors of God?
The power they felt was extraordinary.
It seemed that the blessing of the gods was not a lie.
It seemed that they had some ability that he did not know about.
At the same time, Jooyeon’s eyes, who had come here to get a job, narrowed.
‘Maybe the abilities of the jobs I get here have changed as well.’
It was then.
The macho man guided them to the transparent glass.
It was a glass that showed a huge arena.
Jooyeon tilted his head.
“What? You said you’d let me meet the patriarch, but what is this.”
“Look over there.”
That was the moment.
Bang!
One of the doors of the arena shattered, and a monster appeared.
It was huge compared to before.
It was a monster that Jooyeon knew well.
‘Drake?’
It was a monster that was considered a subspecies of dragons.
In terms of physical abilities alone, it was comparable to a dragon.
It wasn’t just physically capable.
Kuoooo!
It even breathed fire from its mouth.
It was not comparable to a dragon’s breath, but it was enough to burn the savages who were holding it back.
Kyaaak!
The savage warriors instantly turned into ashes.
Of course, they weren’t dead.
Other warriors popped out to replace the fallen ones and subdued Drake.
Jooin frowned.
“What the hell. Did you bring me here just to show me something like this?”
“Of course not. We wanted to show you our main event.”
Main event?
As soon as he finished speaking, the door on the other side opened.
There stood an incredibly large giant.
Jooin and Daedo’s expressions changed at his appearance.
“Huh?”
“That guy is!”
Jooin was shocked.
It was the guy he had been looking for.
