Right, right. Lead the way,\" Jaku said, letting the shadows continue onwards. \"Just tell me through your shadows if you found the treasure room. Then, just teleport me after.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dark blue-scaled Dragonborn found a private sleeping quarters in one of the tunnels. He immediately made himself comfortable and let the Orcs do their job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About a couple of minutes later, his small power nap was interrupted by a Shadow Orc appearing beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jaku opened one of his eyes and peered at the Orc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We found it, sir Jaku.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. Did you find the key?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We haven't sir… we couldn't enter the room. It's guarded by a soldier. He's in the 7th stage of the Body Formation realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, sitting in a stool beside an ornately designed wooden door was an Ersatz soldier, yawning as he stretched his muscles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shadows began to surround him. The three tunnels in front and beside him soon lost their light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone extinguished the flickering fire lamps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I knew something weird was happening,\" said the soldier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of him, an amorphous shadow emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jaku jumped out of the shadow, landing right in front of the soldier with the same nonchalance as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldier looked at him weirdly. \"I would have thought you'd try to attack me from the dark,\" he said, holding his scimitar to his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That was actually better… whatever. I'm too tired for tactics,\" Jaku replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should have used surprise to your advantage. That was the only way you could have survived against me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldier's entire body emanated with power, creating a visible shockwave that made the surrounding shadows shiver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above him, the image of a fiery, demonic horse appeared from smoke. His Diva looked to be painted with watercolor. Vivid and bleeding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His power as a 7th stage Body Formation maugnetic was simply too much for the surrounding Orcs. There was one Elite Penumbra and ten High Orcs. But the power difference was far too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jaku was the only one who stood still, undaunted by his opponent's show of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This earned him an interested gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in truth, Jaku was simply too lazy to be afraid. He'd just be wasting energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, come on!\" shouted the soldier. \"Attack!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instead of drawing his sword, Jaku did the complete opposite. He lowered his sheath onto the ground and laid right beside it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked like he was on a picnic right now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was an absolute insult to the soldier. \"That's it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fiery horse Diva above him neighed silently as it raised its hooves into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the horse dropped its stance to charge, the soldier moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lunged at Jaku with his scimitar. His blade was aimed directly at the demi-human's legs. He wanted to injure Jaku enough to incapacitate him, but not enough to kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard wanted to probe him for information later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at the moment that he charged towards Jaku, static lightning rumbled above his scales.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jaku was disgruntled, having his nap disrupted once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Powered by nothing by annoyance, Aubility Power lightning imbued his entire body with ultra fast speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world slowed in his perspective. The disappearing soldier now became a simple blur. Jaku was still slower than the soldier, but the difference in their velocities were much closer now thanks to this blue lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drew his katana, just in time as the soldier's scimitar swiped at his leg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two blades clashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Jaku's cultivation being four stages lower than the soldier's, his katana was quickly rebuffed by the scimitar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, his move altered the scimitar's trajectory just enough for it to no longer carve through his entire leg, but just barely graze his skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just as it was about to cut a half inch into his scales, a prismatic shield appeared in the next instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scimitar and the shield clashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldier pushed his weapon with more power, but the Unity Defense was infallible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade slid past the prismatic shield, completely shocking the soldier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldier jumped back. He looked at his weapon. The blade was slightly chipped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How… how is this possible?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jaku, on the other hand, could only click his tongue in disappointment. He waved his katana, not satisfied with his speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Argh… is it really just a difference in cultivation?\" he asked, disgruntled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You! What are you?! What organization are you from?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A ghastly expression was written on the soldier's face. That invisible shield created an ominous feeling in the Artifice in his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must be exterminated!\" the soldier shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He no longer cared about taking the demi-human as a prisoner. He wanted to destroy him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jaku frowned as he felt the power of an angered 7th stage Maugnetic. He had a feeling that this fight was going to be a lot harder than he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fiery horse Diva skidded its hooves on the nonexistent ground, Aubility Power wrapping around the soldier's arms and legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldier charged. His scimitar was pointed directly at Jaku's heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Urgh… I'm too lazy for this,\" Jaku grunted. \"Can you stop?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a low growling voice came out his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An invisible tremor permeated around him, travelling as fast as sound itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldier felt something clutching his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in the same instant, the Aubility Power threads wrapping around his legs suddenly snapped. His speed vanished. The blurring environment around the soldier stopped to a complete standstill.\u003C\u002Fp>",1005,"2026-05-28T18:43:31.831Z","2026-06-01T04:28:40.908Z",1,"novelbin.me","6d5732920e68e1a6ea46cc82f68efb910cc07ee7fdc0d08059a79259a71b0590","reborn-as-the-genius-son-of-the-richest-family-chapter-992","reborn-as-the-genius-son-of-the-richest-family-chapter-990",1164,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-as-the-genius-son-of-the-richest-family-cover.jpg"]
