Chapter 31
My Reflector Is Invincible 31
31. Bite This
Haken was genuinely bewildered because of Olson.
“How can you catch it if you throw it that hard! Are you crazy?”
“He will catch it.”
“No, are you serious right now.”
You still need to throw it moderately!
What if you throw it hard enough to smash someone’s face!
No matter how great Joohyun was, what he did just now was too much.
“He will die before he catches it.”
Muttering.
However, an unexpected situation occurred.
“Huh?”
Thud!
Joohyun caught the sword that was flying at a tremendous speed very easily.
He caught it one-handedly as if it was natural.
That wasn’t all.
Swish.
The sword smoothly went to his waist as if it had found its place. At the same time, Joohyun lowered his posture.
It was a posture that Haken knew very well.
“Foot swordsmanship?”
Foot swordsmanship was originally a frivolous posture taken by novice swordsmen.
However, what Joohyun was showing right now was completely different.
A posture that was creepy and perfect.
Haken, who had been abused by the owner for a long time, knew very well.
‘It’s a cleaner stance than Commander Haken, who had a title.’
It was more perfect than any examiner’s posture I had ever seen.
What was more surprising was what followed.
“What… what is that?”
With a swordsmanship speed that even Haken couldn’t see.
Swish!
The world was split in half with a creepy sound.
This was not a metaphor.
Not only the castle, but also the land and mountains behind it were all split in half.
So were the demons in the middle.
[W… w… w…]
I couldn’t even recognize that my body was split.
Haken couldn’t even speak properly at the sight of it.
“Oh my god…”
He definitely heard it.
The creepy sound of the world being cut in half.
He had goosebumps all over his body and his limbs were trembling with fear.
Even the Knight King had a look of disbelief.
Haken barely held his trembling body.
“I knew you were a great person because you defeated the Commander…”
That was different.
It felt like the world was literally being cut in half.
Everything from the sky to the ground was cut in a straight line.
Gulp.
Haken’s eyes were blank.
At first, I thought I’d just stick around and repay the favor and then leave.
I changed my mind.
Is this what the warriors sung by the bards would be like?
* * *
Boom…
Along with the loud noise, a huge trace was left on the ground.
It felt like space itself was being cut, regardless of the sky, clouds, castle, ground, or walls.
The main character who created this situation collapsed on the spot.
“Phew… That was hard.”
I guess I used too much strength because it was the first time in a while that I used my strength.
I felt weak all over, as if I had forced muscles that I hadn’t used.
‘To be honest, it wasn’t difficult to receive the sword.’
That’s because there were abilities that were temporarily activated due to the influence of succession.
Agility and strength.
If it was a potential close to the maximum, I could receive it sufficiently.
But that’s not all.
It was a coincidence, but now that the situation was set, the next part was easy.
<Sword Draw Technique>
One of the most basic and core techniques of all swordsmen.
From Noble mtl dot com
Joo-in used the experience he had gained from wielding the sword over hundreds of thousands of times to get into position.
The greatest knight, the Sword King, had also mastered the ultimate technique of sword drawing.
‘The minimum condition for using the Sword Draw Technique is currently active.’
Joo-in took a very comfortable stance, as if he had become the Sword King himself.
It was to use one of the Sword King’s strongest techniques, which starts with the Sword Draw Technique.
<Earth Splitter>
Normally, it would be impossible to use a technique that he had not learned.
However, Joo-in was the cream of the crop of the ‘Valentino Saga’ series.
‘I know the stance perfectly.’
He also knows how to swing the sword and how to thrust it.
The only thing lacking was strength.
It was the same even though he had inherited the Sword King’s legacy.
Right now, Joo-in could not fully发挥 his strength.
‘Then I’ll fill in the missing parts from somewhere else.’
Fortunately, there was a way to replenish his strength right now.
It was <金刚>, which was activated along with the inheritance of his physical potential.
‘<金刚> not only reduces damage, but can also accumulate the damage taken.’
He had taken enough damage from the demons.
All that was left was to transfer the accumulated energy to the sword.
That is solved by <Reflection>.
Woowoowoong!
A blue light sprang from the sword.
And it shook like crazy.
Clatter, clatter, clatter.
The famous sword was barely holding on because the transferred power was so enormous.
That’s how much damage the demons had done so far.
‘If it weren’t for <Reflection>, I would have died a long time ago.’
In the first place, the demons do not appear in the early stages.
If it weren’t for <Reflection>, I wouldn’t even have thought about fighting.
It would have been normal to run away without looking back.
Even now, he was suppressing it, but it was not easy to control the raging sword.
But Joo-in no longer controlled the sword.
‘I have one goal.’
It was the neck of the demon in front of him.
‘All the damage I’ve accumulated so far… I’ll shoot it out through <Reflection>.’
It wasn’t going to be difficult.
With just a slight push, the lock of power that seemed ready to burst out at any moment would be unlocked. Then, the uncontrolled power would explode through the lock.
At that moment, Jooyeon’s eyes flashed.
The sword, shaken by the enormous power, drew a sharp arc.
It was just a simple swing.
But the result was by no means simple.
The power emitted through the sword tore everything apart.
Even the dukedom.
Even the sky.
Even the clouds.
It even cut the tough body of the demon in half.
It was as if space itself had been torn apart.
It was just as powerful as the Earth Splitter, the technique of the Sword King who was said to have cut a mountain range in the past.
The demon was cut in half and couldn’t even speak properly.
[Ugh… Ack…]
Xiond pointed at Jooyeon with his trembling hand.
[You, how… how the hell…]
“Good.”
[Nooooooooo…]
Xiond tried to regenerate his body as he had done so far.
But his body, his cells, didn’t move at all.
It felt as if the severed part had never existed in the first place.
His very existence had been extinguished, and he couldn’t even stand properly.
[I can’t die like this…]
Jooyeon looked at Xiond’s tantrum with cold eyes.
“I won’t let you die a pretty death either.”
The dukedom that the guy had destroyed was one of Jooyeon’s masterpieces.
He couldn’t forgive the guy who had ruined it.
“Bite down on this.”
The commander’s sword was almost half-destroyed by the aftermath of the powerful skill.
So there was a way.
Jooyeon drew the Diamond and Reflection skills to both fists.
Thud!
* * *
“It’s over.”
The Sword King turned around at the sight of Jooyeon throwing a punch.
The other knights approached in surprise at the sight.
“Aren’t you going to watch anymore?”
“Is there a need to watch? The opponent is already completely demoralized and has lost the will to fight.”
“That may be true, but…”
In fact, Jooyeon was just toying with that great demon.
With each swing of his fist, the demon’s body exploded.
He wasn’t just randomly punching either.
“That… like that?”
“Oh my God! Who knew one could fight so elegantly…”
“What kind of technique is that exactly? Does anyone know?”
It wasn’t just simple punching.
With each swing of his fist, a technique they had never seen before would emerge.
It was a novel application, even in the eyes of the great 100-man Knights.
Just watching him was a learning experience.
Some of the abilities were familiar, but many were completely new ways of using them.
“How on earth did he learn such innovative attacks?”
“It’s not some trivial combination known to the public. All the skills he uses resemble a family’s vision-grade traits. I can hardly believe what I’m seeing…”
“No, but more importantly, is it even possible for someone so young to master so many techniques? It must take ages to learn and master even one?”
Of course, the King of Knights knew that [he] was the main character.
The only being who could defeat the Demon King.
No matter how powerful he was, there was no way he couldn’t defeat a single demon.
However, even he had not anticipated the extent of the protagonist’s talent.
‘He uses techniques as naturally as breathing.’
Even the way he used his skills was refreshing.
He was using skills that he possessed in ways they had never imagined.
‘He’s using the useless and discarded Dominion like that?’
But there was another reason why they couldn’t believe their eyes.
‘Earth Split…!’
They had seen it clearly.
Protagonist had clearly used a skill that only the [King of Knights] could use.
‘Could he be… the [he] I’ve been waiting for?’
As the King of Knights smiled unseen, the knights exclaimed in excitement.
Perhaps they had a great realization the moment they saw Earth Split.
“So that’s why you were looking for [him]!”
“He is worthy of succeeding the Edmer family!”
“Isn’t he the true successor to the [King of Knights]!”
“Ah, so you were looking for [him] with all this in mind, Master…!”
“Of course!”
The knights were impressed, but soon they tilted their heads in confusion.
“But didn’t he use the Templar’s [Dominion] as well as <Earth Split>…?”
“No, I think he also used the Barbarian’s technique…”
Was that even possible?
A small commotion began to spread among the knights because of this.
“Could it be… is [he] the [he] from the rumors?”
“I heard that the Saintess received an oracle. Wasn’t that just a rumor?”
“Are you speaking of him……right now?”
The man they spoke of was another [he].
They spoke of the one who had escaped the law that a person could only have one occupation.
The one who could possess multiple occupations.
The one who could learn and use the skills of other occupations.
The one whose limits of growth did not exist.
“That man is the hero!”
“The legend that the hero appears when the Demon King appears is true!”
The knights had made a huge mistake.
The rumor spread in an instant.
“The former Duke found the hero!”
“The hero defeated the mazoku?”
“Then the reason why the former Duke was looking for [him]……was to find the hero?”
“What? I heard that the hero will become the next Duke and lead us?”
The rumor evolved more and more as time passed.
And it went beyond the Duchy of Edmer to the kingdom and even to the Pope.
In an instant, the eyes and ears of everyone were focused on the Duchy of Edmer.
“Is it true that the hero has appeared?”
“Go! Go and confirm the existence of the hero!”
“If he is the hero, we must persuade him at all costs!”
“We must get our hands on the hero!”
The continent began to move.
