Chapter 75
My Reflector Is Invincible 75
75. The Price of Wreaking Havoc
“Ki…… Kill him!”
“What are you just watching for! Hurry up and take care of him!”
Wow!
Dozens of savage warriors rushed towards Joo-Yeon.
But that was the moment.
Snap!
As Joo-Yeon stretched out his hand, thunder and lightning began to pour down from the cloudless ceiling.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
In an instant, warriors struck by lightning fell one after another.
“Kuaaagh!”
The warriors’ screams echoed.
The bodies of those struck by the lightning were charred black.
However, Joo-Yeon’s attack was not over yet.
As Joo-Yeon changed the direction of his fingers, a pillar of wind sprang up in the stadium.
It was a whirlwind strong enough to blow away the muscular warriors.
“eeek!”
“I’m flying!”
“Hold the ground!”
Most of the warriors were swept away in an instant.
They tried to hold on, but it was no use.
Some tried to attack even as they were being blown away, but Joo-Yeon simply drew a light pattern with his finger towards them.
“This is how you use it?”
Crack!
Lightning struck towards Joo-Yeon.
Yellow light flowed over his body and gathered in his hands.
[<North Wind> authority has been used.]
[Creating <Lightning Sword>]
Crackle! Crackle!
Lightning swords appeared in both of his hands.
This was a method often used by the demons with the authority of the North Wind.
At the same time, the Knight King’s techniques came to mind.
[<Dual Swordsmanship> is activated.]
[<Lightning Step> is activated.]
Dual Swordsmanship allowed him to freely wield two swords, and Lightning Step was the Knight King’s high-speed combat movement technique.
Joo-Yeon took a step forward.
Whoosh!
His body disappeared in an instant.
The eyes of the savage warriors chasing Joo-Yeon widened.
“He’s gone!”
“Damn it, everyone watch your surroundings… Huh!”
Joo-Yeon appeared behind a savage warrior.
He lightly swung his lightning sword as if he were brushing past him.
“Kuaaagh!”
Thud!
Yellow lines were drawn on the savage warriors’ bodies.
The warriors with the lines drawn on them collapsed, their bodies trembling.
“I didn’t kill them.”
[<Lightning Sword>’s Electrocution effect is activated.]
[Opponent is afflicted with <Paralysis>]
[Opponent is afflicted with <Stun>]
Electrocution was a property effect of lightning that rendered the opponent unable to fight.
Thanks to that, Jooyeon was able to subdue them easily without taking their lives.
Now, there was only one person left in the arena.
“I’ll kill you… I’ll kill you…”
It was the savage chieftain, Karasen.
He was standing on the ground, enduring the thunder and storm.
Although he was being controlled by the Grand Warlock, he had the legendary prowess of a hero who had once defeated the Demon King.
Kuaaa!
Finally, with a roar, the giant figure charged through the storm and lightning.
It was a fierce charge, just like when he had broken through Drake’s flames.
His fist, hard as rock, was aimed at Jooyeon’s life.
However, Jooyeon didn’t dodge like before.
No, rather, he seemed to have been waiting for this situation.
“Actually, I was really curious.”
The savagery of the savages was the strongest on the continent.
Among them, the savage chieftain was the strongest in terms of physical strength.
Even among the warriors of the hero’s party, who could be called the strongest on the continent, he could be considered the strongest in terms of physical strength.
And he had been further strengthened by witchcraft.
“I wonder if I can reflect the attack of a warrior of your caliber.”
Now, he didn’t have to worry about Karasen dying.
Since the Grand Warlock’s spell was cast on him, he wouldn’t die right away even if he was hit by a moderate attack.
Rather, the Grand Warlock would surely use his power diligently to defeat Jooyeon.
And if he could just reflect Karasen’s attack, who had the strongest physical strength.
‘For now, I don’t have to worry about physical attacks.’
Kwaang!
Finally, the two men clashed.
A tremendous shockwave and sand and dust obscured the arena.
The spectators in the arena screamed, covering their eyes with their hands.
“What the hell is going on?”
“What about the Champion?!”
They were in chaos.
Things had started to get strange from the moment the young man suddenly entered the arena.
Even the savage warriors and warlocks, who were supposed to be responsible for safety, had collapsed.
The figures of Jooyeon and Karasen, who had actually defeated them, were obscured by the dust, so they couldn’t be seen properly.
But then, suddenly, a gust of wind blew.
“The dust is clearing!”
“Look over there!”
“Oh my god!”
Soon, as the dust cleared, the dueling ground began to appear.
Two men were standing in the center of the dueling ground.
It was Jooyeon and the savage chieftain, Karasen.
Karacen’s fist was unilaterally thrust towards Jooyeon.
But Jooyeon’s face was pale.
Gulp.
A trickle of blood flowed down his lips.
Karacen’s attack had pierced through Jooyeon’s .
But Karacen wasn’t unscathed either.
“Ugh…”
Thud!
Karacen collapsed to the floor first.
A large hole had been pierced through the center of his impenetrable body.
His copper-colored flesh was gradually turning red.
The Grand Sorcerer’s voice of astonishment filled the arena.
“What… What! What’s going on!”
His shock was understandable.
For Karacen, whom he thought was the strongest and most invincible being, to be defeated so easily.
“But why is that bastard so unscathed?”
“He’s bleeding too…”
“Are you kidding me? Karacen was hit so hard! How can you compare that to a few drops of blood?”
“I’m… I’m sorry.”
The warriors, as well as the Grand Sorcerer, had expressions of disbelief.
‘What on earth is his true identity?’
‘Is he even human?’
But there was no time to just stand there and wonder.
“That bastard is approaching the chieftain!”
“……!”
The warriors rushed out.
But the Grand Sorcerer’s expression, despite seeing this, did not brighten.
‘To think that these are all that remain of the tribe’s elite warriors.’
He had a bad feeling ever since the Great Taoist arrived, but the Great Taoist wasn’t the problem.
‘That bastard.’
At first, he thought he was just a rich young master who brought along the warrior as an escort, but that wasn’t it.
In fact, he was the most dangerous person among them.
At this rate, not only the arena but also his position and even Karacen could be taken away.
‘I performed the ritual too easily because I underestimated him.’
As a result, the ritual was broken too easily, and there were no more warriors left to use as sacrifices.
Even if he wanted to use the rebels imprisoned in the dungeon as sacrifices, they were too far away.
The warriors who were now attacking Jooyeon were too weak to be used as sacrifices.
‘To summon without a sacrifice, I would have to offer a sorcerer of my level. But… I can’t do that.’
He could offer everyone else, but he couldn’t offer himself.
The Grand Sorcerer’s body stealthily retreated.
But then, someone blocked his way.
“Oh! Where do you think you’re running off to!”
It was Daedo, who had been watching until now.
Swish!
Dark energy burst out from Daedo’s body.
They were weapons from a subspace connected to [Heuksu].
However, the Great Mage still had one more trick up his sleeve.
“Daedo, is it? Yes. I was wondering when you’d make your move.”
Thud!
The Great Mage’s staff pounded the ground.
“My slaves. Seize him.”
Bam!
Something grabbed Daedo’s legs. Not one or two, but dozens of hands.
“Wh-what the?”
Daedo was startled and tried to pull his body away.
But it was no use.
The grip strength was so strong that even Daedo, a seasoned thief, couldn’t easily escape.
And no wonder, for the ones holding Daedo back were the warriors who had been lying on the ground.
They had risen like zombies due to the Great Mage’s sorcery and were now holding Daedo captive.
“Damn you!”
At that moment, the Great Mage’s body vanished with the wind.
Daedo didn’t miss it.
Swish!
Dark energy pierced the Great Mage’s arm. But by then, he had disappeared, and the warriors who had been restraining Daedo collapsed to the ground, their heads hitting the dirt.
The caster of the spell had disappeared, causing them to lose consciousness.
Daedo frowned.
The Great Mage had already escaped the arena and was far away.
“Dammit. I’m going to hear about this again.”
Daedo was certainly a continental hero.
But strangely, everything related to Joo-in seemed to go awry.
This time was no different.
To think that he had let a single sorcerer escape, not even hundreds of savage warriors.
Joo-in wouldn’t just let it go.
He might harass him again by manipulating Heuksu.

‘No, no. No, he can’t. Maybe he didn’t see me because he was busy fighting the savage warriors?’
Daedo chuckled.
Yes, how many savage warriors had swarmed Joo-in? He must have dealt with all of them…
“What are you doing there?”
“……?!”
Daedo’s heart nearly leaped out of his chest at the sound of Joo-in’s voice behind him.
Behind Juyeon were fallen savages.
‘What? You already finished them off?’
But Juyeon didn’t care about the greatsword.
“It’s noisy. Hurry up and take care of this guy.”
“This guy?”
Karasen was the one Juyeon was pointing at.
He had collapsed with his head in a pool of blood.
“What are you going to do with a dead guy? Cut his throat and make him a warrior’s trophy?”
Juyeon looked at the greatsword and clicked his tongue as if it were crooked.
“There’s no way Karasen would die from a wound like that.”
“What? Is he really alive?”
The greatsword hurriedly put his hand to Karasen’s nose.
Sniff, sniff.
He was breathing just fine despite being covered in blood.
He’d be perfectly fine if he just got some treatment.
The greatsword looked at Juyeon as if he was shocked for a different reason.
“That powerful attack…… you deflected it and even toyed with him?”
To be honest, the greatsword didn’t think Juyeon would be able to stand up to Karasen.
Because he had seen that strange power.
And no matter what, when it came down to it, Karasen was not his old self.
‘Our guild’s disciples could control an idiot who’s lost his mind like that.’
But there’s a world of difference between simply being able to restrain someone and being able to kill them.
He had to admit Juyeon’s strength.
That’s why the greatsword thought Juyeon would definitely kill Karasen with that power.
Yeah, Juyeon isn’t Ryujin.
There are no more true warriors in this world.
But he didn’t kill him?
Wouldn’t that be more dangerous for him?
The greatsword couldn’t understand.
But he quickly turned his head when Juyeon frowned.
Juyeon said.
“What? Did you miss the Grand Warlock?”
“What are you talking about? I was taking care of the warriors.”
“I saw him disappear right before your eyes.”
…Such a meticulous bastard.
When did he see that again?
“Well, I guess you couldn’t kill the savages that were holding you back.”
“……”
“It’s okay. You know where he is anyway.”
“Huh?”
“Did you track his location?”
The Grand Master was referring to the hidden weapon he had embedded in the Grand Warlock’s arm at the last moment.
“If that’s the Grand Master you’re talking about, there’s no way he wouldn’t have done that.”
“……”
What is this guy? Why does he believe in me?
However, Joo-Yeon smiled.
He could have tracked the guy down even if the Grand Master hadn’t done that.
Rumble, rumble.
Clank.
It was the magic embedded in the guy’s body.
The magic that Joo-Yeon had reflected back was telling him the guy’s location in real time.
‘This is why magic is as dangerous as a curse. No matter how far away you are, the caster can control the magic.’
But the Grand Master seemed worried.
“I know his location, but the place he’s gone to isn’t good. It’s the Shrine, or something like that. He seems to have gone there to summon that guy.”
He was a being who blessed the savage tribe. It was not good for humans to get involved.
“He must have gone to the [Shrine of Ancestors] in the first place. It’s forbidden to the savages. Not just anyone is allowed to enter, but non-savages may die there.”
“You know a lot about it?”
“I heard about it from Karacen before. I heard that those who enter without permission die from ancient magic.”
“You don’t have to worry about that.”
Joo-Yeon had intended to go to the Shrine of Ancestors in the first place.
It was because of the job he would get in the future. He could get it there.
But the Grand Master frowned.
“To get in there, you need a key as proof of permission. We can’t get in in the first place…”
“Step aside for a moment.”
“……!”
Joo-Yeon pulled a feather from Karacen’s head, who had collapsed.
It was a Artifact that had been entrusted to the savage chieftain.
‘He couldn’t use the Artifact because he was in his juvenile form. But I’m different.’
With this Artifact alone, he could enter the Shrine of Ancestors.
This was the Artifact of the savages and the key to the Shrine of Ancestors.
“Let’s go. Let’s get revenge for messing with my colleague’s tribe.”
Joo-Yeon’s eyes were chillingly cold.
