My Reflector Is Invincible

My Reflector Is Invincible 64

64. How Embarrassing

At first, Dae-Ho tried to endure it.

‘Even a punk like that helped Ryu-Jin find peace.’

Although they didn’t get along, he had helped the Knight King, who was one of his old comrades, and defeated the demons.

He had intended to take care of it himself, but that damned disciple had gone and finished the job for him.

So he had held his tongue and endured it.

He had endured when his treasured possession was stolen, when the item he had cherished his entire life was strapped to someone else’s back.

Of course, there had been a warning from the Knight King before he left.

From Noble mtl dot com

-I would kill you right now, but I’m holding back for Joo-in’s sake. Don’t test my patience any further.

-Ahem… I apologize for my disciple’s actions.

Without his hands, he was utterly powerless.

Even as a master swordsman, he was no match for the Knight King or even Joo-in.

But now, things were different.

-Dwarf of the Steel Mountain. This is a masterpiece worthy of Kanro the Blacksmith’s name. There is no finer prosthetic in existence.

It was a work of art crafted by the hands of the second-best dwarven artisan in the world.

Even though it was his own, he found it beautiful enough to covet.

And it was imbued with the enchantments of both elves and dragons.

[Black Hand]

-Even knights would find it too heavy to lift. Only its master can wield this prosthetic.

Daeho felt no weight at all.

That was because he had received the [Black Hand’s] approval.

Furthermore, its strength and weight were not the only extraordinary things about it.

-Do you see the gem embedded in the center? That’s a [Gravity Stone]. It’s the same thing airships use.

[Gravity Stone]

It was a very special gem.

With it, he could regain his former strength, or even surpass it.

But why was it suddenly raining hailstones?

Was there any need to endure this any longer?

As if reading his thoughts, Joo-in chuckled.

“Where do you think you’re going? Didn’t you hear what the former Duke said earlier?”

“Does Daeho the Great seem like the kind of person who would be afraid of that tin can’s words?”

“Do I not have the title of your master anymore?”

“I don’t even need to see it to know how I’ll deal with that master of yours!”

Daeho moved his hand.

Immediately, hidden blades emerged from all over it.

Taken aback, Haken recoiled.

“D…Dangerous! Lord Joo-in! Lord Daeho!”

“King of Hidden Blades! He possesses the art of hidden blades that can pierce even the eye of a needle from a distance!”

John, the top agent of the Thieves Guild, was already in hiding.

Daeho with hands was a different beast from Daeho without them.

But Joo-in simply curled his lips.

‘You fool. Do you think I would let you get your hands on me that easily, knowing the kind of person you are?’

There was only one reason he had created hands for Daeho.

They were a substitute for the Knight King, whom he couldn’t take with him on his future journey.

“Why can’t you take it?”

The curse of the Demon King was the issue.

On the other hand, Daedo was different.

If he were left alone, he would be nothing more than a source of inspiration for committing crimes in the underworld anyway.

However, if he only had his hands, he would be able to fully demonstrate his past abilities.

No, to be honest, since the Dwarf’s abilities had improved, he could even draw out more power than in his prime.

“Of course, both then and now, his eccentric personality is the problem.”

Soon, Daedo moved quickly, as if he had read Joo-eun’s mind.

“You cheeky little brat who doesn’t respect your elders! Let’s see if you’re still as ill-mannered even after losing those insolent eyes!”

Daedo’s dark energy headed towards Joo-eun.

It was an attack that precisely targeted the eyes.

However, Joo-eun calmly raised her hand.

“Stop.”

“It’s no use regretting it now… huh?”

At that moment, Daedo screamed.

Clank!

“……?!”

The black prosthetic hand moved on its own. It was strangling Daedo’s neck.

“Ack! What the heck! Why is my hand moving on its own… Ugh!! Cough!”

Daedo writhed in agony.

Joo-eun watched Daedo like that and smiled wickedly.

“Did you think I was some kind of charity worker? That I would just give you that precious hand?”

Clank, clank!

Daedo couldn’t breathe because his neck was being strangled.

Even his face had turned pale.

He tried to tear off the part where the prosthetic hand was fixed with his teeth, as if he was going crazy.

“Dammit, then I’ll just remove it… Cough, cough!!”

Thud!

Even when he removed his hand, the prosthetic hand didn’t come off.

Rather, Daedo’s head was slammed into the ground by the black hand.

Joo-eun watched the sight with her arms crossed calmly.

“It was already over the moment you put it on!”

“……?!”

Daedo’s hand wasn’t just made of steel.

It was a hand that a master blacksmith of national treasure level had made with [Black Heavy Rock], [Gravity Stone], and [Dragon’s Breath].

In addition to that, all sorts of alchemy and magical secrets were intertwined.

Even for the Joo-eun of the past, it would have taken dozens of years to make.

She wondered how the Demon King and the gambling addict had gotten their hands on it.

‘I should ask him about it later.’

Of course, the reason the black hand was behaving like that wasn’t simply because of the materials.

Joo-Yeon added a special item, which he had specifically ordered from a blacksmith, as an additional ingredient.

It was one of the ingredients he had taken from the bank.

[Footprints]

An item that gained a special ability when this ingredient was added.

It ended up recognizing its owner.

[You can set the owner function]

[Would you like to set Joo-Yeon as the master?]

[Setting complete]

[Joo-Yeon is given the master qualification of ＜Black Water＞]

[Dae-Ho is only given the qualification of sub-master for the Great Sword (Thousand-Hands Guanyin)]

Naturally, Joo-Yeon registered himself as the owner of Black Water.

Dae-Ho was naturally the sub-master.

He was inferior to Joo-Yeon in all authority.

‘He will never be able to throw away that hand until I release it.’

“Who do you think originally requested the creation of that hand! hahahahaha!”

“What the… Kwaaa-hahk!!”

Dae-Ho fell to the ground screaming.

No matter how much he wanted to throw away the hand, he couldn’t.

It didn’t end there.

“Return to your original position.”

Woong-Woong!

Black Water returned with Dae-Ho by the scruff of his neck.

And now this was possible too.

“Hit his head.”

Thud!

Dae-Ho’s head hit the ground again.

“Return to your original position.”

He stood before Joo-Yeon again.

“Head.”

Thud!

“Original position.”

Thud!

Dae-Ho’s head bounced between the ground and the air.

He was so out of his mind.

But he couldn’t stop it.

[A new command mode is registered in ＜Black Water＞]

[Current command mode: Stop / Hit head / Return to original position / Disobey orders]

It was designed to be able to fly and move on its own.

In other words, it was like Joo-Yeon’s ego-hand.

In the end, Dae-Ho couldn’t stand it and shouted.

“Th-that… Stop! I was wrong! Stop!”

“Are you done talking?”

“I… I said I was wrong. Show some mercy to an old man!”

He seems too spry to be an old man.

“We’ll see about that.”

As Joo-Yeon waved his hand, Dae-Ho’s hand returned to its original place.

Dae-Ho grabbed his hands anxiously and shouted.

“Yes! I was wrong! I’m old, so I might as well be struck by a hailstorm and catch a cold!”

“Do you really think so?”

“Of course! It’s my fault, so stop taking my hand! You bastard!”

Dae-Ho, who had regained his composure, became bold.

It was better than living without a hand for the rest of his life.

However, there was still some resentment in his eyes.

‘Well, let’s leave it at that for now.’

He didn’t think he could completely control his mind anyway.

The important thing was that he could use Dae-Ho.

However, Dae-Ho looked at Joo-Yeon with displeasure.

“You really do resemble him…”

“Who?”

“That damn bastard that Ryu-Jin cherished so much…”

“Who?”

“There was this monster that Ryu-Jin adored. He was like a ghost, or rather, a comrade who was more devilish than the devil.”

“What are you talking about?”

There wasn’t enough time to continue the conversation.

The magician, Bener, continued to urge them.

[Joo-Yeon, there seems to be trouble in the banquet hall. The former Duke’s aide has a message for you to come quickly.]

It seemed like he would have to wait for another opportunity to deal with Dae-Ho’s insolence.

‘Trouble? What could be so urgent?’

There shouldn’t be any dangerous factors or events happening.

Joo-Yeon called for Haken and John.

“I’ll go ahead, so come slowly. Ah! Old man, you better come quickly. You don’t want to miss the good show.”

Good show?

Haken gave a puzzled look but followed, while Dae-Ho just snickered.

At that sight, the dwarf, Kanro, spoke up.

“Are you not going?”

“Huh, do you think I, at this age, would listen to that punk who’s wet behind the ears? I tried to attack that bastard earlier, but what can I do if he just stands there? He’ll be helpless…”

“Is that so? Wouldn’t it be better to go?”

“What the…”

[You have not followed Joo-Yeon’s instructions for 5 minutes.]

[Command mode entered in ＜Black Hand＞.]

[Insubordination]

– Activates when the protagonist’s orders are disobeyed.

– Removes the Great Sword (Thousand-hand Avalokiteshvara).

A black hand rose into the sky.

Swish!

In an instant, hundreds of hidden weapons circled the black hand.

It looked like it was about to attack the Great Sword at any moment.

“Th… This crazy punk!!”

How is this a hero!

The Great Sword started to run away like a madman.
