He's in Marvel, working behind the scenes.

"I'm very sorry, but I have important business to attend to."

The man replied humbly, showing no dissatisfaction or impatience despite being treated so rudely.

But they were even more disgusted with men.

Only Stephen seemed lost in thought.

He roughly understood why they disliked this man.

"What urgent matter?"

The monks continued to ask questions, their tone somewhat impatient.

The man, however, remained polite and replied with a smile, "To guard the gate."

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

Casillas narrowed his eyes and questioned, "Are you the guardian who created the labyrinth mechanism?"

"The gatekeeper?"

The man paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I suppose so!"

"However, I was not born because of this maze mechanism. I was a strategist just like you, but due to certain reasons, I became a gatekeeper by chance."

At this point, he slightly raised his chin and introduced himself: "My name is [Reinhard van Astreya], and I belong to the Lugunica Royal Guard."

Lugnica?

The mages of the Dark Order pondered silently, trying to find knowledge related to this word in their minds.

But after thinking about it for a while, I still had no clue.

After a moment of contemplation, Stephen's brow relaxed, and he asked, "So, the only way we can enter the gate is by killing you?"

"It doesn't necessarily mean you have to kill me; you just need to gain my approval."

Are you worried we'll kill you?

One of the monks couldn't help but laugh.

At the same time, he drew circles with both hands, forming a magic circle from which countless energy knives flew out.

Reinhard stood still, simply watching with a smile.

The flying knife, which was about to strike, suddenly changed direction and flew past on either side.

What are you doing?

Casillas turned around abruptly and glared fiercely at the mage who was casting the spell.

"I...I don't know?"

The monk replied in a panic.

He didn't hold back, but for some reason, just as the throwing knife was about to hit the man, it lost control and swerved around him.

"You don't need to blame him."

Reinhard smiled at them and said, "This is my blessing..."

At this point, Reinhard looked troubled. "However, I have quite a few blessings, and I don't know which one has taken effect."

Chapter 280 Whatever You Want Comes to You

"What do you mean?"

The monk pressed for an answer.

"Protection is..."

After a moment of contemplation, Reinhard continued, "You can think of it as a talent, like the blessing of evasion, which makes it impossible for the enemy's ranged attacks to hit you."

""

Everyone fell silent.

They were a group of mages, most of whom used ranged attacks.

This buff is a perfect counter to Blood Mom's attacks.

Many mages cursed inwardly: How can such an unreasonable ability exist in the world to forcibly change the trajectory of an object without any basis?

"Since ranged attacks are ineffective, let's fight in melee!"

Casillas raised his hands, creating an energy whip, and lashed out with a "snap".

Reinhard remained motionless, watching with a smile.

Upon seeing this, Casillas felt a chill run down his spine and a sense of foreboding rose within him.

The next second, the whip missed its mark.

Everyone stared wide-eyed.

Isn't it said that ranged attacks won't hit?

Perhaps their expressions were too obvious, so Reinhard didn't overanalyze them and immediately guessed their thoughts. He explained with a slight embarrassment, "This is probably the blessing of the first encounter. The enemy's first attack will definitely miss, whether it comes from a blind spot or is an attack that the person is unaware of."

I fucking threw up.

The mages of the Dark Order felt like they were going to vomit blood, and even Stephen's eyes twitched.

"Now let's see how you dodge!"

Casillas calmed his turbulent emotions and drew his whip once more.

However, the result was the same as before.

Reinhard neither dodged nor defended.

But just as the whip was about to strike him, it veered off to the side and missed.

Casillas watched this scene with skepticism, his gaze gradually shifting to Reinhard. "What is this now?"

"It should be the blessing of rebirth. If it is a visible attack, then the enemy's second and subsequent attacks will definitely miss."

"I fucking!"

Casillas finally couldn't hold back and swore.

Having even one of these unreasonable abilities is already absurd, but if the opponent has three of them, they are basically invincible.

After all, no matter how powerful you are, it's useless if you can't hit anyone.

"You should all leave."

Reinhardt said with some reluctance, "I often encounter opponents, but they all end up like you, losing their temper before the fight even reaches its end."

It's no wonder I'm furious when I encounter an opponent like you.

The mages of the Dark Order were internally complaining.

Stephen hesitated for a moment, then said, "Can't you really move aside?"

"Sorry, it's my duty."

"Then there's nothing we can do."

Stephen couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't want to kill anyone, you forced me to."

As soon as he finished speaking, he snapped his fingers.

A plume of black smoke rose from his hand and then dissipated.

Stephen looked calmly at Reinhard and said, "You are the first person I kill. I will remember you."

"???"

Reinhardt looked puzzled.

Stephen explained, "This is a killing curse, a curse that can take a person's life through an image. Now that I stand before you, the curse's power is a hundred times stronger than any image. I'm sorry, but facing you with this bizarre combination of abilities, the only way I can defeat you is to kill you!"

"This"

Reinhard looked hesitant.

Stephen asked, "Did you have any last words?"

Tell me about it, and I'll help you complete it if I have the chance.

"Thank you for your kindness, but you've misunderstood."

Reinhard scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Although you might get angry if I say this, you'll find out soon enough even if I don't."

"Oh, what is it?"

"Your curse will most likely not work."

"why?"

"Because I have the protection of magic and various attributes, the support effects of various curses, debuffs and buffs are nullified, and the effects of various attributes are reduced by 80% or even absorbed."

Reinhard explained very politely.

"Although I don't know how strong your curse is or what attribute it belongs to, I myself am quite strong and have a high resistance to curses. With these blessings, ordinary spells will not have any effect on me."

You're fucking kidding me!

Finally, one of the mages from the Dark Order couldn't hold back any longer and stood up to hurl insults.

Seeing this, the others followed suit.

Even Stephen couldn't help but twitch his lips, feeling an urge to curse.

This is outrageous!

I use a method to bring out a kind of immune hand protection.

This is outrageous!

In fact, protection is not absolute.
