Chapter 181 – Invincibility, Kid!! (3)
Saying that he didn’t know how to clap with one hand, he hit Luke’s fist with his palm, realized that the automatic counterattack that reacted when he fired a weapon made of glass didn’t work, and beat it with his bare hands, and finally Luke made the final attack. When I did, to be honest, I was horrified. It was because he had never expected that Luke would be the first to see this invincibility.
[Rainbow Reflect], A counterattack and pseudo-invincible weapon that can reflect almost all attacks by returning the direction of the power contained in the attack to the other side instead of being able to use it only when both legs are on the ground, is so fast. It will break through
Of course, there was a [Hard Bond] That could be used as a means to block movement and attacks by completely fixing it to only one target, so it could be blocked. Even if that attack works, there is a powerful regenerative ability [One to Two], One effect that I can’t use well yet, but one sure effect [True and False], And a limited number of uses [Cat’s Life]. I won’t really die. If possible, if you can hide your hand, it is better not to reveal it on purpose, and it was an attack that could be sufficiently blocked with [Hard Bond], So I did not use it.
I put my fist right between Luke’s forehead, who came within perfect range of my attack, and the guy fainted from the shock.
Authority is used by humans borrowing part of the power of a god, so it automatically disappears when the user loses consciousness. However, the case of Gaho is a little different. Like authority, the power received from a god is correct, but it is always applied regardless of the person’s will, so even if the holder is unconscious, it will activate itself if the conditions are met.
“Sheesh, annoying fellow.”
Yes, like now.
Any attack that had the power to kill Luke was blocked midway through. Not only the spear made of glass, but also my fist, which had hit him well until now, collided with something invisible and bounced off the moment I swung it with enough power to cut off Luke’s breath. It seems that the reason why his fists didn’t get clogged up to now was because his life itself wasn’t affected… Rather, this authority that Luke received seems to be much closer to the invincibility than my [Rainbow Reflect]. I have to keep my feet on the ground, and this is an ability I maintain myself, this is only for life-threatening attacks, but it deflects most attacks even if the owner is unconscious.
And this bastard took a pseudo-invulnerable weapon and hit me.
It’s definitely commendable for seeing through and destroying my quasi-invincible skill for the first time, but being defeated because you didn’t know how to use such powerful authority in such a limited way would really be inexcusable. Power is like water whose shape changes depending on the type of container it is placed in. A weapon that permanently seals the recovery of wounds inflicted on an opponent is a bow or gun that can be fired from a distance rather than a sword that can be used only when approached. Would have been more suitable.
Of course, even if I said that, I wouldn’t be beaten, but if the weapon he used was made with authority, that level of transformation is certainly possible. However, since he always used only a sword as a weapon, it seems that he never thought of changing that weapon to another weapon. Because of that, I was defeated so bitterly. If it had been someone other than Luke, it might have been more difficult. I know him as well as he knows me.
A stubborn and stubborn personality who never doubts that he is right, and therefore does not easily bend himself to the opinions of others. Because it is not easy to transform the frame of thought that has already hardened, it is a half-punch that cannot properly handle the highly utilized power called authority. It’s a good thing he’s an enemy rather than an ally.
“So now how am I supposed to kill this…? Put it in a sealed room full of noxious fumes, or put it on top of something burning and set it on fire from below? Or just clean and simple, throw it from somewhere high? “
The condition for this guy’s protection, attack reflection, to be activated is probably an attack that was swung for the purpose of killing and could endanger his life. Then there is no object to reflect. There would be no way to rot or burn from the inside through toxic gas or smoke from a fire, and there would be no way to prepare for death by falling. While I was contemplating the means to kill Luke, a person approached me.
“Oh, who is this? I never thought we’d run into each other in a place like this.”
Someone who fearlessly approached me, who was spewing bloody death from his body while contemplating how to end Luke, was a strong man from a faraway place, whom even I couldn’t see a way to do. He alone ended the endless war in this wide world, and at the same time, the strongest man who balances the world, and the man loved by the goddess of luck.
“Looks like the important thing has already been done… I’m sorry, but could you possibly hand over his personal affairs to me?”
“…Before I ask why you’re saying that, can you tell me why you’re here? Desperado’s guild master.”
Guild Master, Siwoo Jung.
…Why are you out of Landfill?
“Why am I here? Actually, I heard that Landfill has changed a lot lately among my guild members, so I came to see it with my own eyes to see if it was true. I didn’t have any expectations that I might be able to meet you, but that’s it.”
Ha, ‘maybe luckily’?
Well, if you’re a person who is loved by Lady Luck and you think you want to date someone very casually, that’s when it really happens. For example, Luke, this idiot and my fierce fight caused all the weaklings to run away and there is no one around to see or hear the current situation.
Luke must have been an abandoned horse sent by Justia to check on my skills and to keep me in check, but his visit rather provided the environment and opportunity that guild master Jeong Si-woo wanted. Is this the power of Tyche, the goddess of fortune who loves him? Is it okay to dismiss this as ‘lucky’?
“As you can see, this friend is from a foreigner, and based on what I saw a little while ago, he is probably an apostle of Justice… To be honest, from our point of view, Goddess of Justice is a target of concern.”
“You mean that?”
“Even though she has no interest in the ownership of this world, she intervenes too actively. For example, yes. Hound units. They are directly under Goddess Justia, so we can’t do anything about it. Her personality Apart from this and virtue, its power and influence cannot be ignored. The fact that Eleista and I got you out of that prison was only possible because the Goddess of Justice was temporarily distracted.”
That story was the first I had ever heard of. It’s not that I’ve been neglecting me, but that I couldn’t use her hands because I was paying attention to the goddess? Then, was the ruling that I was conditionally released, while the eyes of the goddess turned elsewhere for a while, was it an act to give the goddess a reasonable excuse afterwards? For some reason, it reminds me of myself at the time of helping the goddess Luminus in a play, and I strangely sympathize…
“You were distracted somewhere else?”
“That’s right. Perhaps, someone closely related to you must have taken a hand.”
Beings closely related to me… Excluding Luminus for now. Because her power is not yet at a level where she can have a significant impact on the other world. Then, Hel, the goddess of death, and Nia, the ancient foreign goddess. It must be one of the two… Maybe Ms. Nia helped her? Oh, come to think of it, it’s been a while since I haven’t met Hel. Of course, I don’t know how to meet again.
“So I want you to have a non-hostile relationship with us. We do a lot for you, too.”
“Did you hear the speech I gave at Landfill?”
“Of course. I’ve been keeping an eye on you ever since Eleista explained about you being imprisoned. Maybe you are the last piece I’ve been looking for.”
Why is this child saying something that only he can understand? What is that, you son of a bitch! Tell me to understand!
“Probably there are many things you want to ask. But it’s too long to go into detail, and it’s a very personal story of mine, so I’m afraid to tell you here. Come back to my city later, and I’ll tell you all your questions.”
“Hmm…”
I was suspicious of the guild master’s excessive kindness to me from before, but was there a purpose? But, well, rather than plotting behind the scenes, it’s more trustworthy to say this openly in front… And I don’t even want to be hostile to the strongest person in the world.
“So, Luke, why are you taking him?”
“Maybe through this friend, you might be able to find out what Justia is for? There are some experts on this side.”
It’s a pity that we couldn’t definitely put an end to Luke right here and now… But, sure, catching this guy doesn’t mean the bad relationship with that bitch named Justia will end. She said that the goddess seems to have a deep resentment towards Ms. Nia, and she seems to be targeting me because of that… Huh? So in the end, isn’t Nia the problem, not me?
Anyway, here, considering the kindness the guild master has shown me, and also to deal with that crazy bitch who calls herself the goddess of justice, it would be more appropriate to hand over Luke’s recruits.
“Okay, if that’s the reason, you can take it. I didn’t want to see this bastard’s face for a long time anyway. Instead, I expect meaningful results.”
“Haha, it looks old and the bad relationship seems pretty deep, right?”
“I have quite a lot of personal feelings for this guy. If you’re going to torture me, she’ll ask for it as painfully as possible.”
I ended up transferring Luke’s recruit to him. There is a jinx that ruins any plan involving Luke, but if you are a man loved by the goddess of fortune, you will be able to cover it with the protection that is too powerful to simply dismiss it as luck. There is a saying that the enemy of an enemy is a friend.
Anyway, what the hell is that bitch called Justia thinking? From what Luke said, it seems that he has a strong resentment toward Nia, my trading partner. He doesn’t even want to own Atipia, but he’s expanding his influence on his own while incurring hostility toward Jeong Si-woo, who is the representative of the people here. .. What the hell are you up to, making enemies here and there? It won’t be a simple joke, and it’s clear that there’s something ulterior motive…
Oops, I don’t know How do I know what this crazy bitch who says her word is justice is thinking? What a crazy bitch thinks, a madman knows.

Desperado, the city of adventure and freedom.
There is an adventurer’s guild there.
Guilds do a variety of things. He hires strangers in the name of adventurers, arranging what they have to do, providing them with necessary items, and also controlling and managing them so that they do not cause trouble.
The first floor of the main guild building is the lobby, where you can accept requests from each city, and where adventurers can party or share information. The second floor is a work and living space for office workers working in the guild, and the guild master’s room is on the third floor. This is information that can be obtained through the usual route. However, adventurers who have accumulated some experience can learn information that is not well known within the guild from senior adventurers, veterans.
“Damn!
“Yeah, it’s a game. You can’t do it~.”
“Reverse betrayal looks good! Now, who’s head is broken? Huh? Huh?”
Guild members who have been recognized for their adventurer career and character to some extent receive a password to a hidden place under the guild building. And if they wish, they can reach the casino on the first basement floor of this guild whenever they want.
It would be hard for anyone to believe that there was a casino under the adventurer’s guild. However, for guild master Jeong Si-woo, this casino was a must. In this place where someone’s luck becomes someone’s misfortune, in a place where if you have a handful of luck, you can get your hands on the wealth that you would have to buy with a long time’s effort. It was a simple fact to know.
Today, in casinos, someone hits the jackpot and shouts of joy, while someone squanders all their money and screams of sadness. There are no permanent losers and no permanent winners here. But if there is everlasting winner, there will be only one.
“Jack, are you making a lot of money today?”
“Haha. I guess I’m a bit lucky today. Thanks to Mr. Tyke!”
“Hmm, yeah…? Then, would you like to play with me?”
Adventurer Jack, who was happy to have multiplied his fortune in an instant by winning a series of card games a few minutes ago, accepted the challenge without even knowing the identity of the opponent who covered his face with a robe. And…
“Cheuk, oh my God! Thanks to Mr. Tike, my hand is four cards!”
Jack’s revealed hand is 10 of diamonds, 10 of clubs, 10 of spades, 10 of spades, A of hearts.
It is a four card that belongs to a fairly high side in the pedigree of poker, and even a four card that came out with four tens. Since he even held the heart A, the strongest hand that could beat that hand was only a straight flush or a back straight flush. However, despite the huge bet on the game, the opponent who confirmed Jack’s hand was smiling. Even in a situation that could never be won, the opponent did not leave the smile.
“What the heck, what kind of card did you draw, so you’re laughing like that…”
Jack’s opponent stood up, laying his hand on the table, removing the robe from his face. And…
“Hey, guild master?”
“Jack… I’m so sorry for you. No matter how bad things are these days, I never thought I’d try to gain weight by deceiving my colleagues.”
The card caught in the guild master’s hand was a triple of three A’s, two clubs, and three diamonds.
“Hey, wait… This is a misunderstanding…!”
“How lucky is it to have a hand higher than mine that is loved by the goddess of luck? Don’t you think so yourself too? Huh?”
Sureureung. With a bloody sound, he drew his sword.
“The one who invokes the name of Lady Luck to hide her own ugly misdeeds, as the guild master, decides her punishment. It’s on the second basement floor.”
“…Ah, no! Guild master! Please, please, please! I, uh, it’s so difficult that I can’t stop it… Ha, ha, just once! Give me just one chance! It’s on the 2nd basement floor. Man, please…!!”
The guild master loved by the goddess of luck never loses in normal gambling. I don’t draw a royal straight flush every time, but I never draw a hand that will defeat my opponent. Nevertheless, there is only one reason why Jung Si-woo’s hand is lower in genealogy than Jack’s… It was evidence that Jack cheated.
As punishment for the crime, there is a punishment room on the second basement floor ordered by Jeong Si-woo. A place where felons who murdered and betrayed party members for their own benefit are usually confined.
Among them was Luke, who had been imprisoned for disturbance, attempted murder, assault, and attempted civil war in Landfill, which had recently been incorporated into one of the seven major cities.
