Chapter 29
My Reflector Is Invincible 29
29. The Beginning of Succession
[Kyaaak!]
A huge monster rolled on the floor.
Siond of the North Wind.
It was a demon-type demon with special powers, even among demons.
A demon with the wings of a devil and the face of a wolf.
The body with tough skin that was impervious to most spears and swords was covered in blood.
Creak…
It wasn’t life-threatening.
However, the shock of being caught off guard was greater than expected. There was also the damage from the sudden fall.
‘If I didn’t have the <Power>, I might have actually died.’
If Siond’s defense had been even slightly lower, he could have actually died.
If it had been another demon, it wouldn’t have been strange to die in one blow from that shock.
But the main character who had reduced him to this state was making an even more incredible sound.
“Huh? You’re not dead? Are you perhaps a guy with a wind-type power?”
When facing a demon.
The most important thing was to grasp the type of power.
Depending on the power, it could exert overwhelming force, or it could become an Achilles’ heel.
Siond thought he had hidden the details of his power as much as possible.
‘If I hadn’t reduced the shock of falling with my power, I would have definitely died.’
But he knows just by looking at it?
Could it just be that he has a lot of stamina?
What the hell kind of guy is he?
I had to kill him from the beginning, but now there’s another reason why I have to kill him.
Siond had another reason for infiltrating Duke Edmer’s family.
[Don’t forget. You must retrieve that item.]
The treasure of treasures left behind by the hero.
It was to find the item that supposedly played a decisive role in defeating the Demon King.
I just had to kill two humans.
But there was a problem.
‘I thought killing an ordinary human would be easy, even if I don’t know about the Knight King.’
There’s no way that guy is ordinary!
Not only did he reduce me to this state in one blow, but he also figured out my power.
But I can’t just leave it like this.
‘The contract is absolute. I have my own purpose, but as long as I promised to kill, I have to kill.’
I haven’t used my real power yet.
I still had a trump card left.
The power of a demon comes from the contract.
Woosh!
Demon Siond’s body seethed.
The head of the Edmer family, known as the King of the North. The contract with the son of the [Knight King] was special.
A supreme noble.
The best bloodline.
And on top of that, the twisted emotion of jealousy that demons love.
To a demon, he could be called the best contractor.
In fact, that was how Siond felt right now.
Rumble!
His bloody face gradually returned to normal.
He had activated the Contractor’s power.
Not only had the formidable regenerative abilities of the originally strong Demonkin become incomparably stronger, but his muscles had also grown even larger.
In contrast, the Duke’s entire body had shrunk.
“Kuhahahaha….”
[Hang in there, Contractor. If you collapse now, we’ll both die.]
His appearance made Joo-Heon’s eyes shine strangely.
“Oh? Can you handle it?”
That was to be expected. There was a great weakness to a Demonkin drawing out the power of a Contractor.
“Do you know what it means for a Demonkin to use the power of a Contractor?”
[……!?]
Xiond’s eyes wavered.

……Could it be that he knew that far?
In truth, it was troublesome to use the power of a Contractor too much here.
‘The more power you use, the more you become bound to the Contractor.’
Among the lower-level Demonkin, there were cases of becoming dependent on the Contractor and being enslaved.
Even if he were to use it, he had to use it after corrupting the Contractor.
‘That’s why I was going to use it only after making the Duke completely dependent on me.’
But he had no choice.
He absolutely had to kill that bastard here.
[You bastard…… It’s none of your business!]
And so, he completely accepted the power of the Contractor.
Not only did he draw out the power of the Duke’s bloodline and the prestige of the Duke’s family, but he also drew out the power of the Contractor and negative emotions.
Thud!
Xiond’s blue fur gradually turned black.
Unlike before, much tougher-looking thorns protruded.
He was two to three times larger than his original size.
[Power…… I’m overflowing with power!]
Negative emotions were more precious than any tonic to a Demonkin.
He was able to exert strength that was more than usual.
Of course, Joo-Heon didn’t know, but the Monarch of Knights was irritated.
‘There’s no way I can be easily defeated in this state. Even if my opponent is a former comrade of the Hero who defeated the Demon King.’
Monarch of Knights, Barbarian Chief, Troll Sage, Death Knight, Archmage, Grand Magician, Dwarf King, Elf Patriarch, Saintess.
If it weren’t for those bastards, he wouldn’t have suffered such humiliation.
That was why he definitely planned to leave with that thing.
It was then.
“How dare you… show your filthy face before our Lord.”
The Duke’s knights could no longer endure it.
Each of them took up their weapons and charged toward the Demonkin.
Xiond was dumbfounded.
[Not a knight’s king, and not the 100 knights who are his lackeys… How dare they!]
No matter how excellent the knights of Duke Edmer’s family are, that’s how it is.
The power of a demon who has accepted the power of a contractor is at a level that a mere human cannot handle.
Moreover, he wasn’t an ordinary lower demon.
At the very least, it was difficult to defeat him without a priest and paladin with divine power.
So Siond exclaimed with an unpleasant expression.
[Spread out! Crush them all!]
The reason why demons are strong is not simply because their bodies are strong.
Each of them has considerable authority.
In Siond’s case, it was <North Wind>.
Kuku-ku-kung!
In an instant, a huge storm began to form around Siond.
It didn’t matter if it was outdoors or indoors.
Like a huge storm, it devoured everything, as if it were consuming the surroundings.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
The cold wind and snowstorm of the north fluttered everywhere.
The storm devoured everything.
Not only long-range attacks aimed at Siond, but even knights approaching him were rendered useless.
“Euaaagh!”
“S… Save meee!”
It was useless even if they were holding onto the building.
Siond’s storm literally disintegrated everything, including the building.
If there was an ant in front of an elephant, it would feel like this.
While using this power, he could be called invincible.
Moreover, the power unique to demons remained.
Siond’s eyes lit up with a relaxed expression.
Finally, an unknown wind trapped the people in the storm.
“Ack!”
“Help me!”
Their vision was blocked, and the mansion was filled with screams.
‘Good. At this point, they won’t be able to survive.’
For the time being, retrieving the item was the priority.
So Siond turned around to prioritize retrieving the item.
But at that very moment.
“Y… Your Majesty?”
There was a change in the humans who were in chaos.
The knight’s king, who had been watching until now, swung his sword.
An ordinary blow without <chivalry>.
Siond smiled bitterly.
‘Try as they might, human power is limited. Unless they can load their swords with power beyond divine power, they can’t harm me.’
That was definitely the way to do it.
Then suddenly, I felt as if the world was splitting in half with tremendous force.
Kwaa-aa-aa-ng!
No, it wasn’t just a feeling.
The storm centered on Ziond was split in half.
The knights’ eyes turned upside down.
“W-what the… heavens!”
“It’s split in half!”
It was exactly in the direction the Sword King swung his sword.
The storm disappeared with that one blow.
Ziond started to stagger back, visibly bewildered.
[H-how?]
Fortunately, there wasn’t a single scratch on him.
It had cut everything except Ziond.
‘This is dangerous. I’m leaving as soon as I retrieve the item.’
Originally, I planned to take care of the little guy too after retrieving the item.
Ziond tried to create another storm.
But just then, the Sword King spoke.
“That should be enough.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a black shadow sprang up.
It was Joo-yeon.
* * *
Joo-yeon ran towards the demon and scratched her chest.
‘That was close.’
She almost missed the chance to catch the demon.
A huge chunk of experience points that even dead people would give up their stories to search for.
‘This is not the time to think about why the demon appeared.’
Catching it came first.
‘What an idiot. Why would he make a contract with a demon of all things?’
Edmer, the Duke.
Now, she also had to correct the mistakes of the man who had lost his position.
Fortunately, the demon was weak because the contract had only recently been made.
She could definitely handle it now.
Besides, the rewards for catching it right now weren’t just experience points.
[Contractor of the Demon]
Edmer, the Duke, was now a traitor to humanity.
It was obvious since he had made a contract with a demon.
‘The contract will automatically be terminated when the demon is killed anyway.’
What was unexpected was that the Sword King didn’t kill the demon.
Normally, the other knights would have caught or killed it, but right now, the other knights didn’t even dare to try.
Even the soldiers and servants had a hard time protecting their bodies from the storm.
If there was anyone who could deal with the demon, it was only the King of Knights.
‘I didn’t know he would open up the way like that.’
He was even more surprised that he didn’t kill it even though he could have.
In fact, the King of Knights was looking at Jooyeon.
No, rather than looking, it was closer to a test.
That’s why he didn’t catch it himself and left it to Jooyeon.
‘Do you really have the strength to succeed me?’
It was a gaze that seemed to say that if he proved himself, he could really inherit the power.
That’s why Jooyeon laughed.
‘For me, this is even better.’
He planned to properly show the King of Knights, no, his former comrade, who he was.
Who he was.
Whose power made him the strongest.
‘I’ll definitely catch it.’
Did he look like he would let go of a huge chunk of experience points?
That’s why Jooyeon deliberately smirked at the demon.
“Is this all you got?”

[What?]
“Why don’t you try a little harder?”
[This punk!]
Soon, an icy storm arose, and Jooyeon ran into the storm.
In fact, he wasn’t worried at all.
Because a storm like this had no effect on him.
At first, he couldn’t charge in because the rotation was too strong and he thought he would be thrown out.
‘The King of Knights opened up the way for me, so if I can’t even eat this up, then I deserve to be thrown away.’
However, there was one problem: the bastard was flying in the sky.
Right now, Jooyeon didn’t have wings or a skill to fly into the sky.
However, it wasn’t like there was absolutely no way to catch the bastard.
‘Dumbass. Do you not even remember why you fell from the sky earlier?’
Jooyeon was deliberately not avoiding the wind pressure, cold, and frost that were being inflicted on him.
Originally, creatures could only fly in the sky if their wings moved.
‘Do you think you can fly like you are now, even if your wings freeze?’
Earlier, he made it fall by reversing the force of the wind, but this time it was different. The power of the storm was mixed with the severe cold of the North.
His body froze and the stinging sensation reached his bones.
Jooyeon mustered his strength.
“Rainbow Reversal, you demon bastard!”
<Reversal>
The force of the north wind, cold, and frost that were clinging to Jooyeon disappeared in an instant.
And then, a change occurred in the demon in the sky.
[What?]
Kukuukung!
Kwaddeudeudeuk!
The wind that had been holding it up in the sky disappeared.
Starting from its wings, ice crystals began to freeze its entire body.
Siond was flustered and couldn’t speak properly.
[Wh… What the heck?]
However, Joo-Heon smiled.
“Figure it out with that tiny brain of yours. Don’t ask your opponent.”
[Inoooom!]
Siond, whose wings were frozen, fell to the ground in an instant.
Bang!
Of course, that didn’t kill it right away.
It was a demonic beast-type with the strongest physical abilities among the demons.
[You insignificant race! You dare to wound this body!]
Siond shot up, breaking the ground.
It shook off its frozen wings and charged toward Joo-Heon.
It was accompanied by a tremendous gust of wind as if it had swallowed the north wind.
Kwawakwakwang!
What if there was a tornado that was breaking everything in all directions and charging toward you?
The others couldn’t even move because of the tremendous air pressure.
Joo-Heon clicked his tongue at the sight.
‘This bastard. It dares to try to blow away my territory?’
It was an attack that covered too wide of an area.
He could protect himself with , but the castle or the others could get hurt.
Siond’s attack range was too large for him to defend alone.
Was it trying to erase it from the map since it couldn’t kill it?
This was very troublesome.
‘This will be my land. It doesn’t make sense for it to turn into dust.’
That was the moment he was about to move to use .
“Huh?”
A beam of light connected to the King of Knights.
This was none other than:
[<Succession> begins.]
The strongest knight.
Now, the power of the strongest on the continent, who had once cut the sky with a single sword, was beginning to be inherited.
