My Reflector Is Invincible

My Reflector Is Invincible 24

24. Call to this place

Pocket money?

The duke’s face turned red at Joo-in’s words.

It was the asset he had prepared just in case.

As the duke’s emergency fund, it wasn’t a small amount of money.

“I could buy a mansion of a moderate noble in the capital with that money….”

“That’s why it’s pocket money. If you are trying to block my steps with just that much, it’s a miscalculation.”

Rumble.

The duke gritted his teeth.

He couldn’t forgive Joo-in at all.

He even used informal speech to him, the head of the Edmer family.

“Why don’t you hurry up and give it to me? Then I’ll take it and disappear?”

It was because of his impudent attitude toward him.

However, that wasn’t important at the moment.

He was recognized as the owner of the shield?

Something that could never happen had happened.

Someone other than the Knight King had lifted the shield that no one else could lift.

Even for the owner of that shield, it had a special meaning.

[Whoever holds the shield shall be granted the same authority as myself, regardless of their status.]

It was an order from the Knight King himself.

I remembered the story of how the previous Duke, who was called the King of the North, had been treated like that.

If there was anyone who refused that order.

[Even if they were my own children, I would never forgive them. I would punish them as if they had committed treason.]

They would have to face the Knight King’s wrath head-on.

It was a completely different matter from taking [him] away.

Treating the uncertain ‘him’ the same way was a completely different thing.

It meant becoming a sinner who had refused the [Knight King’s] order.

‘Of course, that bastard wouldn’t know that.’

It was information that only the important vassals of the Edmer family knew.

So I had to take care of it quickly before anyone noticed.

I had no choice but to bury what happened here in the darkness.

“I can’t stand it anymore. If you insist on drinking alcohol… I can’t help it.”

The Duke gave a signal to the knights.

“Take care of him and return the shield to its original place.”

“Yes, sir.”

The knights slowly approached Joo-yeon with their swords drawn.

* * *

Hey, look at these bastards?

They’re trying to drown me right now?

Are they really?

I could feel killing intent from the knights.

Some of them were even using their chivalry.

The orange light of ＜Obedience＞.

‘Well, it would be difficult if they weren’t knights of Obedience since they’re attacking the Knight King’s guest.’

From Noble mtl dot com

All the knights on the continent respected the Knight King.

However, the knights of Obedience were more loyal to their lords than to the Knight King.

To draw their swords against a man who had been acknowledged by their idol.

That was why the nobles couldn’t help but like the knights of Obedience.

‘Should I use Reflection?’

I could use ＜Physical Enhancement＞ to get out of here.

I could also order the wizard, Bener, to use magic.

But something felt lacking.

‘All of them are too weak to fix that spoiled brat.’

I needed a powerful blow.

A weapon that would shock not only that bastard but also the knights who were pointing their swords at me.

Then, something came to mind.

‘Right. I have this.’

Joo-Yeon held out the ＜Shield of the Nameless God＞ he had just acquired.

This shield was a divine item.

Of course, with his current low stats, he wouldn’t be able to draw out its full power.

So even though he couldn’t use the full power of the shield like its true master, there was a way to use it roughly.

“Here, shield. This is food. Eat up.”

Click.

Joo-Yeon inserted the jewel he had taken from the Duke’s vault into the hole in the shield.

An offering to the god, a sacrifice.

It wasn’t pure faith, but a jewel was a lump of brilliant desire more than anything else.

Light began to enter the shield with the jewel as fuel.

Whirr!

The sentient being moved nimbly at the rare meal.

In an instant, the shield turned blue.

Crackle!

It was similar to ＜Heaven’s Punishment＞, an electric shock.

It was ＜Blue Lightning＞ embedded in Ego Shield.

A skill that poured a massive electric shock on the enemy in exchange for an offering.

Blue lightning erupted from Joo-Yeon’s body, making his hair stand on end.

To others, he looked as if he had been electrocuted.

Only then did the Duke laugh.

“Yes! That’s right! That’s the symbol of our family!”

As expected, it was a weapon that a mere slave couldn’t hold.

The Duke’s eyes sparkled with delight.

“Yes. It’s clear you were mistaken.”

How dare a slave raise our family’s symbol?

He deserved to die a hundred times over.

His gaze was that of someone who wouldn’t mind the lightning burning him to dust.

“Something a mere slave like you can’t have when even I don’t have it!”

Even the approaching knights flinched back at the sight of him being electrocuted.

It was clear that they had judged that it would be taken care of without them dirtying their hands.

But that was a ridiculous thought.

‘That’s funny. Have you ever seen a dog that attacks the one who feeds it?’

God is always fair.

To be exact, he treats everyone the same because he doesn’t care about any of his creations. Anyway, an offering always comes with a price.

‘Well, should I get my jewel’s worth? You mutt?’

Whirr!

The shield reacted to Joo-Yeon’s command.

＜Charging Complete＞

＜[Shield of the Nameless God] activates [Blue Lightning]＞

In an instant, the lightning that had been wrapped around Joo-Yeon’s body shot out in all directions.

The impact was especially strong against the knights near the duke.

“Kuaaah!”

“aaah!”

All the surrounding knights collapsed, trembling violently.

It was just like the appearance of those who hadn’t been chosen by the shield as its master.

Only the duke remained unscathed.

“W, what the hell! What have you done!”

Of course, Joo-Heon didn’t answer.

Instead, he stroked the shield.

‘It really is useful.’

In order to use , he needed to be attacked by the enemy.

But now, he didn’t need to wait for the opponent’s attack.

Just by offering some jewels or valuables as a sacrifice, he could now attack the opponent.

You might say that he had put in too many jewels as offerings?

It didn’t really matter to Joo-Heon.

‘I can just get more jewels later.’

He also had treasures hidden all over the continent, enough to establish his own kingdom if he combined them all.

Even if that wasn’t the case, he knew how to get more.

Above all, wasn’t there a golden goblin right in front of him, Duke Edmer?

On the other hand, the shield’s attack power was enormous.

Depending on how he used it, he could even kill an enemy in one shot.

They would end up like a chicken struck by lightning.

Or maybe like a rotisserie chicken.

Of course, that wasn’t the best part.

“You… you… how the hell did you withstand that…”

It was more important that he could say a few words to the shocked duke.

Joo-Heon shrugged.

“What? You can have it if you’re qualified? You must be qualified enough by now? If not, I can use it on you too.”

“……!?”

The duke didn’t show it on his face, but his eyes were trembling.

He didn’t want to lose his family symbol and relic, but he was too scared to attack.

‘But as long as I look like the master, he won’t be able to take it away so easily. It’s because of the shield’s power.’

But the scariest thing about the shield wasn’t its power.

Joo-Heon decided to tell the duke something he had forgotten.

“Oh right, the previous duke said something like this. He said that whoever becomes the master of this shield can use the same authority as the previous duke.”

“H, how is that possible?”

How is it possible, you ask?

Because I made it that way, of course.

Of course, as a nuclear warhead, he hadn’t known that something like this would happen.

But it was basic to always prepare the groundwork for the next game.

A shield was just one of them.

‘There are things that need to be resolved after meeting the [Knight King] in person.’

Soon, Joo-yeon spoke.

“Since you don’t know, quickly bring the former Duke here. I have a lot to say. Especially about the incompetent son who acted on his own accord despite my orders.”

“……!?”

“Don’t worry. I’ll make sure to tell him that I was the one who ordered the attack on the shield’s owner.”

The Duke’s cheeks trembled with anger.

However, Joo-yeon laughed lightly.

‘A brat won’t learn his lesson from a beating by someone else.’

There was something he hated even more.

To be scolded by his respected parents.

“What are you doing? This is the order of the shield’s owner. Bring the former Duke here.”

“……”

Of course, it was also fun to watch the son’s face contort in humiliation.

A brat like him needed to be disciplined like this.

* * *

Edmer, the former Duke.

The man who defeated the Demon King with the Hero.

Currently known as the strongest in the world, he was respected by all the knights on the continent.

And he had knights who followed him.

＜Order of the White Hundred＞

It was the personal guard knights raised by the former Duke.

Each one was a general of a country, and now that they had received training from the former Duke, they had almost reached superhuman levels.

Warriors who could knock down opponents with just the force of their sharp gazes.

Those who only received orders from the former Duke were now guarding the training hall.

As if they were escorting him, they were guarding him like an iron wall.

“When will he come out……”

“If it weren’t for the Demon King’s curse, he would have been ruling the continent by now……”

The former Duke was dying.

It was because of the curse left behind by the Demon King as he died.

Because of that, he was losing his life day by day.

However, not all of the knights had worried looks on their faces.

“That’s what the training is for.”

“The Knight King will surely reach a transcendent state and overcome the Demon King’s curse.”

The Knight King had entrusted all the affairs of the family to his son, the Duke.

It was only to overcome the curse through training.

So, it was inevitable that the knights’ eyes were filled with respect.

“If it were anyone else, they would have been corrupted by wealth and power.”

“They would have struggled to survive.”

The former Duke, known as the Knight King, was different.

Giving up all wealth and power, he was enthusiastic about strength.

Just seeing that appearance, the loyalty that had been strong from the beginning felt like it was getting stronger.

Perhaps that was also the reason why he volunteered to be the escort for the previous Duke, who originally didn’t need anyone’s protection.

At that moment, someone ran towards us.

Clang!

In an instant, the knights assumed a battle stance.

Sharp materialized killing intent also burst forth.

Finishing their battle stance in just 0.1 seconds was surprising, but materialized killing intent?

Materialized killing intent was something only superhuman beings had.

It was no different from saying there were a hundred superhuman beings.

In fact, each and every one of them was a knight considered one of the best on the continent. Of course it made sense that they would find it a waste to escort just one person.

Even the servant who had been running didn’t dare come any closer, and he stopped while trembling.

“I… I… the Duke’s message…”

“Speak from there.”

Crackle!

Honestly, with the servant’s skills, he wouldn’t have been able to scratch a single one of the knights here.

It went without saying for the previous Duke.

Nevertheless, the knights were this thorough for no other reason than this:

‘The one who saved the continent from the Demon King.’

‘The savior of us all.’

‘The incarnation of chivalry, chivalry itself.’

It was because they respected the previous Duke that much.

There was also their strong will not to make even the slightest mistake.

However, the knights’ composure was broken by the servant’s following words.

“I, the Duke told me to bring the previous Duke…”

“What…?”

“Just now… what did you say…”

Boom!

An enormous killing intent burst forth.

The servant peed his pants on the spot.

“Eek…! I’m just delivering a message…”

But the killing intent didn’t stop.

Rather, it only grew stronger.

“No matter how much you are the head of the Duke’s family, how dare you… to the previous Duke…”

“Are you telling the hero who saved the continent to come and go?”

“And you’re doing it through a mere servant? You, the head of the family?”

Even if the Duke himself had come to give the order, it was questionable whether they would have allowed it, and yet he had sent a servant, not even a knight, to summon him?

This was no different from disregarding the previous Duke.

The knights, who were more loyal to the Knight King than anyone else, were so furious that the ground shook.

Even if he was his son.

Even if he is the head of the Edmer family.

The former Duke was above all that.

It was unforgivable to order him around.

Only a servant deserved to die.

“……That, that is a really important matter.”

“How dare you interrupt the former Duke’s meditation……”

“It seems our young master……has forgotten his past training.”

Their foreheads twitched. The knights’ anger was directed at the Duke’s family.

“It seems we’ll have to take matters into our own hands.”

“Yes. The former Duke will not make an appearance. So……”

But that was the moment.

Rumble.

“……!”

The door to the training ground opened.

It was a door that would never open unless the former Duke wished it.

All the knights were astonished.

“Why is the former Duke……!”

“There is still time left before your promised time……!”

What is the meaning of this?
