My Reflector Is Invincible

84. Function Unlocked

Light poured out from between the clouds, and a gigantic object revealed its form.

An island that looked huge just by looking at it.

Such an object was falling from the sky.

It looked just like a meteorite falling.

“W… what the hell? An island appeared in the sky!”

“Everyone, run for your lives!”

Haken and Olson panicked and screamed.

Joo-Heon understood their reactions deep down.

‘This must be their first time seeing something like this.’

The only race that could fly in the sky was the Celestial race.

Even among them, only a handful had seen them directly as they lived in hiding.

So an entire island was falling from the sky?

They must have never heard of or seen anything like it.

And the island wasn’t just simply falling.

Woo-deuk-deuk.

Kwa-kwang!

The atmosphere was crushed as the island fell.

The gravity was so strong that they couldn’t move.

It was shocking enough to make even ordinary people tremble in fear.

Even the Great Mage who had traveled all over the world.

“Oh my, is this a sign to stop messing around now?”

I just stared blankly at the Floating Island of the Sky Dragon.

Maybe it’s natural.

‘The Floating Island of the Sky Dragon was an event that only players could enter.’

Even the warrior Ryu Jin didn’t know about the island’s existence.

Only players could use it.

And on that island was something the protagonist absolutely had to obtain.

But I had to be careful.

‘Something has changed.’

Is it because this is a different reality than the game?

My companions were all looking straight at the Floating Island of the Sky Dragon with their own two eyes.

‘Normally, they wouldn’t even be able to perceive its existence.’

Right at that moment.

Rumble, rumble!

The Floating Island of the Sky Dragon approached right before our eyes.

It was truly a magnificent sight.

[Summoning of the Floating Island of the Sky Dragon complete.]

At that moment, the Great Taoist approached the protagonist.

“Indeed, it’s something the demons would desire.”

“Is that so?”

“Shouldn’t we hurry?”

If we don’t move it, the demons will invade to seize this island.

But the protagonist reassured the Great Taoist instead.

“It’s okay. I have a plan.”

It wasn’t for nothing that he had reflected the demon’s contract.

The protagonist had purposely angered him.

It was because he knew well the special power that the Floating Island of the Sky Dragon possessed.

At that moment, a pillar of light fell from the island.

[Entry permitted.]

A circle was drawn on the ground around the protagonist. It was a small circle that looked like a foothold.

The protagonist moved slowly.

“Now then, old man. Let’s go up to heaven now. Oh, but it seems you can’t come?”

The Great Taoist glanced at the Savage King, thinking that the young punk should watch his tongue.

“Are you just going to leave the Savage King here? If I were to, let’s say, hit him in the back of the head…”

“It’s okay. You’ll see him again soon.”

Karasen will be going with him anyway.

If the protagonist left now, he would be defenseless without his divine weapon.

That’s why he chuckled and stepped onto the foothold.

In an instant, the protagonist and his party disappeared from the Forbidden Zone.

* * *

Instantly, the foothold lifted everyone up to the island of the Sky Dragon.

“Wow… what in the world is this place?”

“Is this a paradise?”

Everyone’s mouths hung agape.

An unimaginable sight spread out before them.

A boundless meadow, and beyond the meadow, a colossal mountain as if embracing the meadow.

All sorts of animals were peacefully grazing.

It was a sight that they had never seen or heard of before.

However, Jooin ignored them and took the lead.

“This way.”

“H-hey… wait for us, Jooin-nim!”

As Jooin took the lead, everyone followed behind him.

The place they arrived at looked like ruins.

“What is this place?”

“It looks like the building is so old that it has rotted.”

Jooin agreed with them.

“It must be because it hasn’t been used properly for a long time.”

“I wonder if there’s a treasure here?”

“A treasure?”

Well, that would be nice.

Jooin wasn’t interested in such things.

“There it is.”

“…?”

Dado’s expression turned strange as he looked at the place Jooin pointed at.

“A nest?”

A nest made of wood was hidden inside the building.

It was also quite large.

“What’s in here… huh?!”

Haken exclaimed in surprise.

“An egg? Isn’t that an egg?”

No, it was too big to be called an egg.

“Such a huge egg. Is it really a dragon’s egg?”

“Yes. That’s the Sky Dragon’s egg.”

Jooin finally found it and laughed heartily.

He needed this item.

‘This is proof of a warrior.’

It was an essential item to obtain the warrior system.

‘I need this to become a warrior instead of the real ＜Warrior＞ who must be somewhere else by now.’

Not only that, the Sky Dragon was not just a symbol, but it also had very useful abilities.

Originally, it grants many beneficial effects to the warrior as the warrior’s partner.

And the method to hatch such a Heavenly Dragon was simple.

The hero must realize that he is a hero and be acknowledged by the gods.

Then, the Heavenly Dragon would awaken from its egg and go in search of the hero.

‘However, the hero has yet to realize his own power. He has just left his hometown and is about to embark on his journey.’

As long as the hero doesn’t realize it, the Heavenly Dragon won’t awaken on its own.

So, I have to trick the Heavenly Dragon.

‘Originally, I planned to use the method that the mazoku were going to use.’

Joo-in approached right before the egg.

“Oh, God of the Heavenly Dragons! It is time to awaken your divine beast!”

He raised the artifact, [Key of the Heavenly Dragons], that he had obtained from Karacen, the chieftain of the barbarians, above his head.

The sunlight poured down onto the egg through the artifact.

Hwaaa-ahht!

The holy light filled the old building.

The Heavenly Dragon was originally the divine beast of the God of the Heavenly Dragons.

If he had his artifact, it was possible to forcefully awaken it like this.

Kwa-dad-deuk!

A sound began to come from the Heavenly Dragon’s egg.

It was the sound of the egg beginning to crack.

However, it was slow.

‘It’ll take a long time at this rate.’

I had prepared for something like this.

Joo-in took out the shield on his back.

He fed a jewel to the [Unnamed God’s Shield].

Woong-woong!

Another light burst out from the shield.

It was the divinity of the [Unnamed God].

Kwa-dad-deuk-deuk-deuk!

As expected of a holy dragon, the Heavenly Dragon’s egg, which had absorbed the light of the artifacts, cracked more than halfway.

However, Joo-in had more prepared.

A light burst out from the mantle on his back as well.

The artifact, [He Who Promises the Dawn], that he had taken from the Great Mage.

Paaa-ahht!

Black light, befitting of an artifact of darkness, poured down onto the Heavenly Dragon’s egg.

And finally.

Sreung!

A shining sword appeared out of thin air.

It was the hero’s holy sword.

The holy sword was a sword that originally only the hero could wield.

Although Joo-in wasn’t the true master of the holy sword, he had been granted this much power as he defeated the Demon King’s remnants.

Kuku-ku-ku-ku-kung!

That was a tremendous surge of energy.

The egg of the Sky Dragon began to crack in all directions.

Zzzzt!

The egg exploded with light.

Kwaaang!

The ground shook as if an earthquake had occurred.

Including Joo-yeon, everyone’s bodies were launched into the air.

To be precise, the ground was rising.

Everyone screamed in surprise.

“Suddenly, wh… what the!”

“It’s a trap! We have to run!”

However, Joo-yeon was calm.

This was because he knew about this phenomenon very well.

‘Ah, now I miss it, I miss it.’

It was the opening scene of a game that he always skipped.

If only he could skip it now too, but this was reality that could not be skipped.

“Fall back!”

“……!”

Kwa-thud!

The appearance of the ruined building began to change.

It shot up as if a new building was being constructed.

It was a castle.

Their eye level had also changed.

It felt as if they were looking down at an island.

Hak-en asked in surprise.

“What is all this?”

“What is it? It’s the true form of the Sky Dragon’s Island.”

Until now, the master of the island had not awakened, so it had been hiding its form.

However, since the sacred instruments and the holy sword had awakened the Sky Dragon.

The island was revealing its true form.

It wasn’t just the island that revealed its true form.

Kuoooooooooo!

In the midst of the smoke covering the egg, a gigantic roar spread out.

A powerful shockwave that shook the entire island came with it.

Soon, the smoke cleared and a beast revealed itself.

[Sky Dragon]

It was a guardian deity that had fought alongside heroes against the Demon King since time immemorial.

Golden scales.

Golden eyes that saw through everything.

A size larger than a castle.

Daedo’s mouth fell wide open at the sight.

“My God… Is it really Cheon-gong-yong?”

Daedo vividly remembered Cheon-gong-yong fighting alongside the Hero against the Demon King in the past.

He asked Ryu-jin where he had come from.

-I don’t know where I came from either. He’s just been by my side since some point.

The Saintess had said something similar.

-Cheon-gong-yong is said to be born with the Hero and shares his destiny.

Cheon-gong-yong had disappeared after the Hero Ryu-jin died.

That’s why Daedo thought he would never see the creature again.

But here he was.

Daedo couldn’t help but stare at Ju-yeon in disbelief.

“…He really was the Hero. He was the Hero.”

He had finally learned the secret story of Cheon-gong-yong’s birth.

However, Ju-yeon was staring at the healthy-looking Cheon-gong-yong with narrowed eyes.

‘Well, the Demon Tribe tried to hatch him without the Holy Sword. It takes time, but it’s good for corrupting him with darkness.’

But Ju-yeon was different.

He had hatched Cheon-gong-yong with the Hero’s Holy Sword.

Cheon-gong-yong, who had absorbed the power of the Holy Sword and the spirits, could use special powers as well as the power of the Holy Sword, which had been strengthened by the power of the spirits.

Moreover, Cheon-gong-yong, who had been fully revived, could use a special ability once.

Ju-yeon wanted a complete解除.

That’s why he shouted as if he had been waiting.

“Cheon-gong-yong. I ask of you. Undo my friend’s curse…”

But right at that moment.

Kuooooh.

The golden eyes turned in one direction.

It was the opposite direction from where Ju-yeon’s party had come.

Daedo, who had just realized something, widened his eyes.

“Oh no… They’re demons!”

“De… Demons?”

“The Demon Tribe is bringing demons!”

The aide seemed very angry.

Daedo quickly finished his analysis.

“A hundred flying demons and ten demons!”

Of course, the number of demons was still growing.

Daedo’s eyes continued to assess the enemy.

“The number of flying demons is increasing! 215, 260, 312…!”

Daedo shouted anxiously.

“We might lose Cheon-gong-yong! Hurry!”

He meant to quickly解除 the island’s summoning, take Cheon-gong-yong, and run away.

They couldn’t let the Demon Tribe take the Hero’s possession.

However, Jooyeon shook his head.

“Denied!”

“Why?”

“Because the bastards will come before we escape. Or we’ll lose this island.”

Everyone’s faces hardened.

Either way, their lives were on the line.

Chun-gong-yong had just woken up, so if this floating island fell into the hands of the Mazoku, the entire continent would be a sea of fire.

There was no proper means of escape either.

There were too many of them to escape on Chun-gong-yong.

But there was no need to worry.

Flash!

The golden dragon stared at Karasen with its mysterious golden eyes and opened its mouth in front of him.

Kuuu.

Black smoke poured out of Karasen’s body.

It was the curse of the Maou.

It was the terrible entity that had turned the great Barbarian chieftain into an idiot.

Chun-gong-yong sucked the curse into its mouth.

It had accepted Jooyeon’s request.

Dae-do shouted urgently.

“It’s good that you’re saving Karasen, but there are too many of them!”

At this rate, they could only fight in isolation.

No matter how much they were the companions of a past hero, it would be difficult to fight against such overwhelming numbers.

But Jooyeon just smiled.

“Wait.”

“But…!”

“If you can’t wait, escape first.”

“……!”

Dae-do’s eyes wavered.

Five minutes ago, he would have escaped without looking back. He thought Jooyeon was a Mazoku who was imitating the hero.

However, it was different now.

‘He awakened the hero’s Chun-gong-yong.’

If that guy wasn’t a hero, who was?

Jooyeon was carrying on the will of Ryu-jin, the past hero.

He couldn’t leave such a guy behind and escape.

[Black Water Maneuver]

[Mugu Skill – Full Body Weaponization Activated]

Numerous hidden weapons sprouted from Dae-do’s body.

“Running away once is enough.”

“……!”

“……This time, I’ll protect the hero!”

“I’ll buy you time to escape.”

Joo-eun smiled at the determined face that seemed ready to face death.

“You don’t have to go that far.”

“Are you kidding me? Even if I die, you have to live! There’s no other way now…”

Instead of replying, Joo-eun chanted.

“Celestial Dragon, fire the absorbed curse.”

“……!?”

Joo-eun stretched out her hand towards the enemies approaching the island.

Then, the Celestial Dragon with its golden body turned its mouth towards the demons and the devil’s army.

And.

Kwaa-aaang!

A breath mixed with gold and black began to fly towards the enemies.
