    Chapter 116

    Episode 116

    Arrogant story.

    But it was true.

    The Norse shook his head in bewilderment and asked gravely.

    [Why do you think I came to this secret training ground to teach you?]

    “…….”

    [Do you think you can handle that weight?]

    The reason Nordian kept it a secret was out of consideration for Christian.

    It wasn’t always a good thing to be favored by the head of the household.

    ‘It’s a double-edged sword.’

    The number of people who oppose him will increase significantly.

    Let’s say that the other successors were enemies from the beginning.

    ‘The Marquis of Langham will start to really oppose me.’

    Chris narrowed his eyes.

    You must not be mistaken.

    The other successors were not the only contenders for the Dark Maga.

    The final opponent was the Marquis of Langham.

    Although Marquis Langham does not consider Chris as his enemy at this point, if it becomes official that the Nordians are favoring him, the story will be different.

    He’s going to start to seriously antagonize Chris.

    But you will face hardships that are incomparable to those you face now.

    “It’s okay. It’s a mountain I have to overcome anyway.”

    [!!]

    “Don’t worry, whoever you are, they will eventually kneel before me.”

    Did you sense Chris’s cheeky spirit?

    The Norseman’s gaze deepened.

    and.

    A laugh escaped the Norseman’s mouth.

    The laughter that started out low gradually grew louder.

    The momentum was so strong that it made my skin tingle.

    [Okay. I will accept your request. From now on, you will be my official disciple.]

    “thank you.”

    [step.]

    The Norseman asked coolly.

    [You decided to become my disciple, so you won’t show any signs of trouble during this duel, right?]

    Refers to the duel between Ashed and the judge.

    If you decide to become a disciple of the master and then lose, there is nothing worse than that.

    “Don’t worry. I will show you a life worthy of being called the master’s disciple.”

    [Heh heh. As expected, you’re good with words. I’ll be looking forward to it.]

    The Norseman said to Simon.

    [Let Christian open the ban. The deadline is one month. Remember. Until the set time has passed, you cannot come back even if you want to. You have no choice but to hold out.]

    Extreme conditions.

    But it was what I hoped for.

    “I’ll be back soon.”

    like that.

    The way to the borders of Gehenna is open.

    It was time to get stronger.

    * ? ?* ? ?*

    After Chris left for the ban.

    The top floor of the mansion.

    The head of the household’s office.

    The Marquis of Langham, the head of the household, was reading the documents.

    “It is said that Prince Christian has left for good.”

    “Forbidden? Who gave permission?”

    “Considering that the butler carried out the ‘unlocking’, it seems highly likely that it was the lord’s will.”

    The Marquis of Langham was silent for a moment.

    ‘It’s annoying.’

    In fact, the Marquis of Langham wasn’t very interested in Christian.

    Although he was causing a stir, he was only prominent among the successors and was too insignificant for the Marquis of Langham to pay much attention to.

    but.

    ‘The lord has been concerned about that child for some time.’

    The Marquis Langham tapped his pen and thought again.

    ‘It’s annoying.’

    From its first appearance until now.

    Christian continued to get on Marquis Langham’s nerves.

    The problem is that it’s ambiguous.

    It’s annoying, but is it too vague to do anything about it?

    So I just watched.

    ‘Maybe it could be a variable in my ‘plan’.’

    if.

    I don’t think that will happen though.

    What if Christian wins the referee duel with Ashed a month later?

    Then Christian will stride forward to the position of Archduke.

    A painting that the Marquis of Langham does not want.

    ‘I guess it might be better to start organizing things slowly.’

    Macfield said coldly, perhaps sensing the master’s feelings.

    “Just give the order and I will go and cut off that brat’s head myself. Since I’m in Jinji, it will be easier to do it without anyone noticing.”

    Norsemen aren’t the only ones with the power to open the gates.

    The Marquis of Langham, the head of the household, also had the authority to release the money.

    But Marquis Langham shook his head.

    “It is strictly forbidden by law for a family’s senior member to directly interfere with the successor, so I cannot let you step forward.”

    “then?”

    “It would be cleaner to let the successors resolve the issue among themselves.”

    “Are you going to leave it to Prince Ashed?”

    Macfield asked, seeming puzzled.

    “No, call Sherard.”

    “!!”

    Macfield flinched.

    1. Prince Sherard.

    A madman, just like his nickname.

    Even Macfield, a six-star master class, was horrified by Sherard’s madness when he encountered him.

    ‘You may be living a quiet life within the family, but what on earth are you doing outside of the family’s territory?’

    Soon Sherard appeared.

    “What’s wrong, Father?”

    He smiled faintly, his silver hair fluttering.

    “Who should I kill this time?”

    A creepy story.

    It wasn’t the first time he had been asked to commit murder.

    In fact, when Marquis Langham wanted to secretly eliminate someone, he often asked for Sherard’s help.

    Even though Sherard is a crazy psychopath, he asked his son to kill him.

    This is a part where you can see that Marquis Langham is not an ordinary, terrible person.

    “As you may know, I don’t take just any favors. Unless you’re someone who interests me….”

    “It’s Christian.”

    “!!”

    Sherard’s eyes deepened.

    The corners of his mouth formed a long curve.

    “That’s a very… interesting suggestion.”

    “I’ll open a spot for you to enter the forbidden zone. The excuse is… You can say that you’re also going in for training. After you enter, kill Christian when you have the chance.”

    Marquis Langham spoke nonchalantly, as if he were conducting business.

    “It’s not prohibited, so there’s no need to worry about the aftereffects.”

    “That’s right. Heh heh.”

    “Then let’s go out and have a look.”

    Marquis Langham turned his gaze back to the papers.

    The smile disappeared from Sherard’s face as he came out.

    It was extremely cold and had an eerie vibe.

    “It’s difficult.”

    A soft muttering.

    “It was a special dish that really piqued my interest, so I wanted to let it grow a little longer before killing it.”

    * ? ?* ? ?*

    Pfft!

    An open space appeared, with the feeling of passing through a narrow hole with a torrent of water.

    “This place is forbidden.”

    Chris looked around.

    It was a wasteland where no life existed.

    What’s unusual is that it’s gray.

    The sky, the earth, and your own body.

    The light is distorted and we cannot distinguish colors.

    The middle ground between Earth and Gehenna.

    Territory.

    ‘To be exact, it’s closer to the ground.’

    Middle gray zone.

    It is not a complete Gehenna, so demons and devils do not appear.

    That doesn’t mean it’s safe at all.

    Powerful monsters influenced by Gehenna appear.

    ‘The demons are a problem, but the bigger problem is the evil spirit flowing out from Gehenna.’

    Creepy, creepy feeling.

    The evil energy of Gehenna flowing through the gray area began to seep into my mind.

    Chris used his strong will to drive out the fraud.

    ‘It’s not to the point where I can’t stand it.’

    This is because this is a gray area, and an area close to Middle-earth.

    Although the spirit is flowing, it is tolerable if you defend your mind with will.

    ‘In other words, it is the most suitable environment for training.’

    What Chris needs, as I said before, is to lay the groundwork.

    To be exact, it is the foundation of the ‘will’ to advance to the 5-star Elder class.

    This place, where fraud flows and powerful monsters appear, is the best environment to strengthen your will.

    ‘If you keep rolling around, you’ll find the answer. Honestly, I don’t like this kind of ignorant training method.’

    There was no choice.

    Because strong will is only developed in extreme circumstances.

    ‘Let’s cheer up by thinking about the wealth and honor we will enjoy later when we finish everything!’

    Just then, the monsters started to appear.

    As expected from a border area, there are 4 demon-level beasts.

    Chris took out the Holy Sword without hesitation.

    Pfft!

    The radiant mana infused in the holy sword was used as an aura blade to cut off the heads of the demons.

    ‘There’s no need to insist on magic. My goal is to strengthen my will anyway.’

    If you hone your Aura Blade, which is the power of will, you will naturally be able to have a strong will as a mine.

    After all, whether it’s dark magic or light mana, the master is Chris.

    “Put the pressure down!”

    I spent my time like that, absentmindedly.

    How many times have I cut down the swarming demons, how many times have I overcome life-or-death moments, when not even saliva flowed from my parched mouth.

    An unexpected voice was heard.

    “Wow, that’s really amazing.”

    “!!”

    Chris’s eyes widened.

    I turned my head in surprise, and there stood an unexpected figure.

    ‘Sherad?!’

    Blood Shadow Demon Lord. No, it was Prince Sherard.

    “How can you be banned?”

    “Ah. Father opened it for me.”

    “His Excellency the Marquis of Langham?”

    “Yeah, they told me to kill you?”

    “!!”

    Sherard calmly stated his purpose.

    “I don’t actually hate you. You just seem to be quite an eyesore in my father’s eyes.”

    “…….”

    Chris was silent.

    He thought that the Marquis of Langham would stand in his way as he rose to prominence.

    ‘I did prepare countermeasures in case they sent assassins.’

    You wouldn’t send Sherard.

    It exceeded expectations.

    “To be honest, it’s an order I don’t really want to follow. I’m ‘interested’ in you. I’ve wanted to be friends with you for a long time.”

    Chris frowned.

    Sherard’s interest speaks of a desire to kill.

    The stronger Sherard feels his murderous intent, the less likely he is to use his hand.

    Just like maturing a dish, he watches over them for a long time, sometimes even helping them, making them stronger, and then takes their life at the moment he thinks is the best.

    ‘In his previous life, the person whom Sherard was most interested in was the warrior Evan. He had many opportunities to take his life, but he never killed him.’

    – It’s a shame to kill such an interesting opponent like you already. I’ll be looking forward to it, so please become stronger next time.

    This is the story that Sherard always told when he let go of the warrior Evan.

    Sherrard also said this to Chris.

    – Hmm, that’s too bad. If you had learned swordsmanship or magic, I would have been more interested in you than that warrior.

    Chris clenched his fist.

    ‘That son of a bitch.’

    In the past, I thought of the people who had been sacrificed to him.

    The dark gossip who was close to Chris was also killed by the bastard.

    Anger boiled over.

    When the Dark Talker was killed by the bastard, Chris regretted for the first time that he was powerless.

    ‘This guy must be killed.’

    The problem is power.

    ‘Can I really beat Sherard?’

    Although it was getting stronger rapidly, it was too much.

    ‘I still can’t guess how much power that guy has.’

    The meaning of those words was self-evident.

    Chris’s power is no match for Sherard’s.

    Sherard is a 5 star at best.

    Maybe it could have reached 6 stars.

    ‘Still, we have to find a way. If he makes a contract with the devil and receives a blessing, then it will be a truly terrible disaster.’
