My Reflector Is Invincible

My Reflector Is Invincible 91

91. I’ll Be Waiting

The holy sword is proof of a hero that no one can deny.

Leo does not have a holy sword.

Joo-yeon brought that point up.

“It seems you don’t even have the replica that the temple has. How can you be called a hero?”

There was only one way for a hero to obtain a holy sword.

Defeat the Demon King’s heart and grant Ryujin peace.

If that was impossible, the only option left was the replica holy sword in the temple.

‘But you have to clear the quests of the 8 temples and ultimately receive the Saintess’s approval.’

But that was quite difficult.

The people at the temple were arrogant.

They wouldn’t easily hand over a fake holy sword.

They only gave it to you after making you do all sorts of trivial quests.

Of course, even with specs, the replica couldn’t beat the real thing.

So Joo-yeon, who had the real one, could confidently say,

“This is undeniable proof.”

Then the holy sword roared, telling him not to lie.

But even with Joo-yeon acting like that, there was nothing he could do.

That was because he, too, was qualified to be a hero as a player.

There was no way to escape his hand, which couldn’t be intimidated.

Joo-yeon looked at Leo and laughed.

“A hero with a holy sword and you without one. Who’s the real hero?”

“That’s….”

The moment Leo’s mouth slowly opened.

Suddenly, someone intervened.

“Stop!”

It was a middle-aged priest.

Behind him were dozens of paladins.

“What are you doing, killing a hero!”

At those words, Joo-yeon’s eyes lit up with interest.

‘By the way. I heard that the priest position was empty in the fake hero party.’

Was he there?

It seemed he had stepped out for a moment.

And Dae-do’s eyes turned fierce at the appearance of the priests.

“Are those bastards the ones who brought out the fake hero?”

Joo-yeon stopped him with a laugh in response to his reaction that he wouldn’t let them go.

“Wait. It’s good to be on good terms with the temple guys.”

The temple is one of the central forces that you must pass through in the north.

They were annoying to heroes, but there was no need to turn them into enemies from the start.

“It’s good to keep those rich guys in your pocket and make them your customers. Anyway, the old man was annoyed that the Thieves Guild was being held in check by the priests, right?”

Dae-do, who had been troubled by Joo-yeon’s whispers, nodded.

Well, if the protagonist is smart enough, he could roast them alive……

“To think you’d mistake a fake hero for the real thing. Are the priests blind? Damn bastards.”

“……?!”

No, didn’t you say your goal was to get along with each other?!

Daeho opened his mouth in bewilderment, but Jooyeon burst out laughing.

‘There are eight temple forces.’

I don’t know which temple he belongs to, but depending on how I use him, I can attract other temple forces.

It’s a tactic called ‘using barbarians to control barbarians.’

‘For now, I’ll let those incompetent fellows become sacrifices and make the popes fight among themselves.’

But then, the priest said something unexpected.

“How dare you do something unforgivable to a hero chosen by the Temple of the Sun!”

Hmm?

Jooyeon tilted his head at the unexpected words.

I was going to say that his eyes must be crooked because he couldn’t tell a fake from the real thing, but what?

“A hero chosen by the temple?”

“Yes! Do you know who that is? He is the only son of Cardinal Galatheron of the Temple of the Sun!”

The priest pointed to the fallen fake hero.

At that moment, Jooyeon remembered something.

‘Come to think of it, there was an event like that sometimes.’

It was an event where a special fake hero appeared.

The temple gives the fake hero they will use a fake holy sword.

And the story was that he would fight against the Demon King.

‘Of course, most of them die before they can face the Demon King.’

They were somewhat useful in the sense that they harmed the demons.

Because they were selected by the temple, they were assigned plenty of support and paladins as guardians.

And then the content was to reveal the identity of the fake hero and subdue him.

The content was easy, and the rewards were good, so many people participated.

Of course, Jooyeon ignored it.

‘In the game, there was a bug, so people complained that they didn’t give out the rewards.’

But what if that wasn’t a bug?

What if it was real here?

‘Well, it wasn’t me who dealt with it, but Leo.’

Jooyeon glanced at Leo.

As expected, as the paladins rushed to the fallen fake hero, the problem began to grow.

“Th…… The hero!”

“Leon-nim’s neck has been cut!”

“Who is it! Who dared to kill our Leon-nim!”

Look at that, even their names are similar.

At the paladins’ flustered voices, the priest glared at Jooyeon in excitement.

“Did you do this?!”

The one who doubted Joo-yeon, who was holding the sword, was…

Joo-yeon turned her eyes slightly.

Hmm, I want the compensation, but I don’t want to build up a grudge.

Then I should just shift all the blame.

Joo-yeon’s finger pointed somewhere.

“Wasn’t it me? It was him?”

It was Leo.

Leo, who was pointed at, made a face of bewilderment.

However, Joo-yeon spoke confidently.

“That’s right. You did it. You swung the sword. Okay?”

“……”

Leo remained silent, bewildered.

That was because her words weren’t particularly wrong.

However, he couldn’t deny it either.

‘Heroes basically can’t lie.’

It wasn’t a matter of conscience.

It was just that they hated lies because they were fools who couldn’t be righteous.

Especially in a case like this where the responsibility was clear, they couldn’t lie even more.

And to Leo’s inability to deny it, the priest shouted in anger.

“This bastard! How dare you to Sir Leon!”

“What are you guys doing! Arrest the criminal right now!”

At the priest’s cry, the paladins moved.

Perhaps the fake hero was a famous guy in the temple, the paladins’ eyes gleamed with murderous intent.

“He’s the one who killed Sir Hero! Get him!”

Leo didn’t ignore the paladins who were running towards him.

Rather, he confronted them with a cold look in his eyes and brandished his sword.

Clang, clang, clang!

In an instant, the swords of the paladins and Leo clashed.

Of course, there were no immediate casualties.

First of all, Leo was stronger than the paladins, but the paladins themselves were monsters who couldn’t be knocked down.

[Sun Paladin’s Job Skill]

＜Sun’s Mercy＞

It was a skill that healed them in real time.

It ignored even leg wounds that would normally be impossible to stand up from.

No matter how strong Leo was, it meant nothing if he couldn’t kill them in one blow.

‘That’s why they’re nicknamed cockroaches.’

It meant that they had a strong vitality like cockroaches.

However, the reason why they were strong wasn’t just because of their recovery ability.

They had a special ability.

“Sir Wellman! Permission for the Sacred Laws!”

[Holy Law]

A skill granted only to divine classes.

If priests specialized in protection and recovery with spells like ＜Complete Recovery＞, ＜Purification＞, and ＜Divine Barrier＞, then paladins specialized in offense and defense.

The priest called Jalman responded immediately.

“I grant permission to use Holy Law!”

“Yes, sir!”

Thud!

The paladins slammed their weapons into the ground.

A flaming sword of light was created in the air.

[Unique Combined Skill of the Paladins of the Sun]

＜Sword of the Sun＞

The swords were planted around Leo.

Then, resonating with each other, they began to restrain him like a transparent barrier.

Thud! Thud!

Despite Leo’s strength, the barrier only shook and did not break.

It was because the barrier was being maintained by over ten paladins.

Priest Jalman’s eyes flashed at the sight.

“You dare to kill a hero! On behalf of the Temple of the Sun, I will never forgive you!”

Leo’s face hardened at the sight.

Unlike the fake hero, he had no intention of laying a hand on these people.

“But if you defend the fake hero, then you are also my enemy.”

Leo’s eyes shone coldly.

Even within the scorching barrier, moonlight began to descend upon his head.

He must be gathering his strength to break the barrier in one go.

However, Jooyeon knew.

‘It will be difficult with that amount of power.’

No matter how strong a hero was, it was not easy to break the barrier of the Temple of the Sun.

Both were classes that used divine power. If they were of opposing attributes, the damage would be halved.

Leo did not have a holy sword, so he was bound to lack power.

Without help, he would be captured.

That was when Daeho stepped in.

“Are you not going to help?”

“Would you like me to help?”

“Not really.”

Daeho’s gaze was hazy.

It was as if he saw Ryujin’s shadow in Leo.

“I don’t want to lose him like that time.”

“Are you saying this knowing that they belong to the Temple of the Sun?”

“Yes.”

[Temple of the Sun]

One of the eight major temples, an international organization belonging to the right seat.

If you mess with them, you could be treated as a heretic and it could become a public matter for the continent.

It could be said that it was a really dangerous thing to do on the continent.

However, Daeho didn’t seem to have any change of heart.

“They’re thieves anyway. There’s nothing to be afraid of if those pesky priests chase after us.”

“Indeed. It’s thieves’ everyday life to be chased.”

“No! That’s only for those who committed sins!”

“So you’re saying you’ll commit a sin right now?”

“……”

Daeho’s face flushed red.

However, there was no need to fight.

‘I can use this to my advantage anyway.’

He was already thinking of what to do with Hero Leo.

In order to meet the Saintess and ask for her help, the temple’s cooperation was necessary.

‘Hero Leo and the Order of the Sun. I’ll use them all.’

Before that, he had to stop that first.

Leo, who had gathered enough strength, swung his sword towards the barrier.

“Get out of the way.”

Kwa-kwa-kwang!

It was a tremendous shock.

Even the Paladins who were casting the barrier shook from the shock.

The priest shouted anxiously.

“We must not let it break!”

“But sir priest! The bastard’s power is too strong.”

“Shut up and hold on until the interrogator arrives!”

Jooyeon let out a hollow laugh at those cries.

‘An interrogator, huh.’

The core of the temple, and the name of the strong.

‘If that guy comes, things will get really messy.’

Jooyeon grabbed his shoulder tightly.

“Are you going to stop now?”

The priest glared at Jooyeon as if he was having a seizure.

“Are you in cahoots with that bastard too! How dare you, a sinner who killed the Hero-nim, lay a hand on me, a priest directly under the Cardinal! Heretic! Hereeetic!”

“It’d be better for you to watch your words.”

“What the… Huk!”

Jooyeon pulled out his sword.

It was in a direction where the hero’s emblem could be seen properly.

“Can’t you tell even after seeing this? What are you doing right now?”

The priest’s pupils shook after seeing the sword.

“Th… That sword… Is it by any chance?”

“Yes. It’s the Holy Sword. The proof of the hero.”

“……!?”

The blood drained from his face.

“That can’t be! The Pope clearly said that Sir Leon was the hero.”

“Well, maybe they were trying to raise him as a hero in secret. What are you going to do? Now that you’ve been caught by us?”

Joo-yeon laughed at his flustered expression.

“Impersonating a hero must be a serious crime.”

“……!”

Attacking a true hero would never be forgiven.

After all, they were the heroes of the continent.

Priest Zalman soon recognized Joo-yeon’s face.

“Yo… You’re not. Joo-yeon? The hero who appeared at Duke Edmer’s?”

“You recognize me now?”

“Bu… But that can’t be.”

Priest Zalman took a step back in confusion.

It was because of what the Cardinal had clearly told him.

-The hero in the Duchy of Edmer is a fake.

That was why he had believed Leon to be the hero and followed him.

He had even led the Order of the Holy Knights himself.

The Holy Knights were just as confused.

“Priest Zalman, what’s going on here?”

It was the fear of having attacked the real hero.

Moreover, the temple was an existence that thoroughly protected the hero.

The guilt of feeling like they had betrayed their own god weighed heavily on them.

From Noble mtl dot com

Priest Zalman’s face couldn’t help but turn pale.

‘Is this man real? Then who is that man?’

His gaze turned towards Leo. Then, Priest Zalman gasped when he saw Leo’s neck.

Until now, his eyes had been clouded with anger, but now he could see clearly.

‘That紋章is…!’

Joo-yeon, who couldn’t miss his trembling gaze, smiled as if he had been waiting for this moment.

Priest Zalman tried to flee in a hurry, but it was no use.

Joo-yeon was already holding his shoulder firmly.

“Impersonating a hero is a serious crime. But you didn’t impersonate him on purpose, did you?”

Priest Zalman nodded, understanding the meaning of Joo-yeon’s words.

“Yes, that’s right. The Cardinal…!”

Then, Joo-yeon smiled broadly.

“The great Cardinal couldn’t have lied. So, what should we do now?”

“That is…”

“Shall I tell you the answer?”

Nod!!

Priest Jalman’s head shook violently up and down.

Joo-in didn’t hesitate.

“Bring the Saintess before me.”

“……!?”

At that moment, Priest Jalman and the Paladins’ mouths fell open wide.

The words that came out of Joo-in’s mouth were that shocking.

“How dare you call the Saintess’s name so casually!”

“No matter how much of a warrior you are, you shouldn’t say such things! The Saintess isn’t someone just anyone can meet……”

“Take back those words this instant!”

Yes. Joo-in knew it very well too.

‘Right now, the Saintess is in the deepest part of the temple.’

It wasn’t easy to meet or call her.

However, Joo-in had to meet the Saintess.

‘That’s the only way to heal the barbarians and make the barbarian chieftain, Karasen, my ally.’

Kar-aun was strong, but he wasn’t an existence that could compare to Karasen.

So this was the only way.

“Only the Saintess can verify a true warrior. Right?”

“We-well, that’s true.”

“I’m going to the Duke of Edmer’s territory right now. Tell the Saintess. Tell her that I’ll be waiting for her there.”

Anyway, the one who would be proven to be a warrior was Joo-in.

Because he had the Sky Piercer.
