I Became the Genius Bastard of a Noble Dark Clan – 145

Chapter 145

Episode 145

[Interesting… how. I wonder if your fate will turn out to be against the heavens.]

That’s the last thing I’ll say.

The light flickered again.

Incomparable to before.

A sphere of darkness extended from Andril and wrapped itself around Chris protectively, and Chris’s consciousness faded away.

* * *

What happened that day shook Gold Cross, no, the entire continent.

Because it was a huge incident.

“You almost got a natural disaster?”

“Yes, it is said that while the Pope was receiving revelations from the constellations to solve the Black Death, something went wrong and the Tacheons descended. It is said that Prince Christian and Saint Olivia of the Magic Empire quickly intervened and resolved the matter.”

Olivia embellished the truth and spread it, just as she had previously discussed with Chris.

In fact, Olivia tried to tell the whole truth honestly as a way to atone for her sins, but Chris opposed it.

If the horrors of the Pope’s actions were fully revealed, the prestige of the State would be in the gutter.

It was not wise, considering that Olivia would become the next Pope and be responsible for correcting the wrongs of the Gold Cross.

‘From now on, the law will have to be my guardian angel, but that will be difficult.’

So I mixed truth and lies in my announcement.

The Black Death was caused by the collaboration between Archduke Bintz and the Cursed Maga.

The descent of the Heavenly King was due to the Pope’s mistake.

‘In fact, if you think about the crimes the Pope has committed, it would be refreshing to reveal them all. But even if it doesn’t, he will pay a sufficient price.’

The Pope miraculously survived the aftermath, perhaps thanks to the power of the Emerald Tablet.

No, strictly speaking, it would be difficult to say that his life was saved.

He fell into a brain dead state.

It was practically as good as dead, with only the body breathing.

‘Because the innate nature was destroyed, the soul of the Pope who had been the contract holder was dragged into Gehenna.’

Now the Pope will be forced to writhe in the torments of Gehenna for eternity, according to the sins he has committed.

‘By the way, I feel dizzy. How long will I have to lie down like this?’

There were many twists and turns, but everything was resolved well.

However, he was unable to leave for the Magic Empire.

This is because my body was left in shambles after enduring the aftermath of the destruction of my natural instincts.

He had been bedridden for a week.

‘If it weren’t for the protection Olivia gave me, I would have been in big trouble. I might not have even come to my senses until now.’

Chris sighed and stood up.

Still, after lying down for a whole week, my body recovered somewhat and I was able to walk around.

‘You will get better quickly if you walk around even a little.’

With that in mind, I went out and walked around, but the reactions of the people I met were strange.

The servants, knights, and commoners all flinched and bowed their heads toward Christian.

That too, deep and deep.

‘What, why are you doing that?’

Count Roy, who had appeared out of nowhere, gave an explanation.

“Ahem, that’s because of what you did this time, Confucius.”

“What have I accomplished?”

“Yes, everything that Confucius has done has been rumored. Now, Confucius is the hero of the Gold Cross.”

It was an unexpected story.

“…I, a mine, am the hero of the Gold Cross? Does that make sense?”

“Does it matter that I’m a mine? If it weren’t for you, the Gold Cross would have been in ruins.”

If it weren’t for Chris, neither the Black Death nor the advent of the Taoist Empire would have been prevented.

“More than anything, Princess Olivia actively promoted the Prince’s achievements. She said that she did nothing and that it was all the Prince’s achievements.”

“…….”

“It is also significant that the fact that the doctor who saved all the patients in the Binz Archdiocese was the Confucius was revealed to be a god.”

“…How did it spread?”

“It seems there was a patient who recognized Confucius.”

At the time, Chris was wearing a crow mask covering his face, so he didn’t care about the transformation. After all, he had never met anyone other than the patients.

So, someone came to find out.

“You saved all the patients! If it weren’t for Mine, it would be an achievement worthy of being revered as a saint. In fact, the people of Archduke Bintz call you the ‘Saint of Darkness’.”

“…….”

Saint of Darkness.

It was a nickname that had a somewhat childish feel to it.

It looks like he’s holding a black flame dragon on the back of his hand.

“I don’t like that nickname.”

“Haha. Actually, there are many people who call me by other nicknames than that.”

“what?”

“This is Ma Hui.”

Chris’s expression became mysterious.

It means ‘the light of the devil’.

I think they gave him that nickname because he couldn’t be openly praised as a hero.

“Anyway, Your Majesty, you have saved our Gold Cross. On behalf of the County of Bursen and the Gold Cross, I would like to express my gratitude.”

Count Roy bowed deeply, and Chris responded blankly.

“No matter how much you flatter me, I won’t let you go. You will always be my slave.”

Count Roy bowed his head and frowned.

‘Damn it! If you’ve been flirting like this, let me go! I suffered a lot because of you! I thought I was going to die at the end!’

At the last moment, when the White Lion Knights of the Kingdom of Lucien rushed in, Roy and Alos stopped them… I really thought we were going to lose.

‘Ugh, you bad guy! You devil! Everyone’s got their eyes screwed up, they call this guy the Dark Saint, the Devil!’

It was no use swearing.

At that moment, a familiar face appeared in the distance.

A face that looks slightly like Christian, but 100 times more timid.

It was Alos.

Roy waved with a happy face, and Alos was about to greet them back, but then he flinched when he saw Christian next to him.

Perhaps because they share the same fate as each other, they developed a true friendship that transcended national borders and ideologies.

“I, I will be going now. I have something to discuss with Lord Alos.”

Chris sent Count Roy away, and went on to secure a little more support from the Royal Family.

‘By the way, is Evan hiding his appearance? Well, it’s not like he’s in a position to show himself.’

After walking for a while, a familiar sight appeared.

It was the tower I was locked in as a child.

“…….”

Chris stared at the tower for a moment in silence.

I didn’t feel anything.

‘Did you get it out?’

Of course, originally I wasn’t shaken by the past.

But if before it felt like the wounds were covered up with deep scars, now they were really clean, clear and indifferent.

I felt relieved that I had somehow come to a resolution with the Pope.

‘Let’s do something else.’

Chris moved to another location and took Andril out of his subspace pocket.

There was something to check.

‘Has anything changed?’

Since the constellation was offered as a sacrifice, one of the conditions for releasing the seal was achieved.

There was no visible change to the naked eye.

It still looked like an old iron sword, but Chris’s eyes could see the subtle differences.

‘The seal has slightly weakened. If we do it right, we might be able to draw out some of the power and use it.’

Of course, it was still too much.

Because Andril’s power requires a great expenditure of strength from its owner.

With Chris’s current power, even a small amount of his power would knock him out immediately.

‘Still, in a life-or-death situation, it could be a fatal move.’

After confirming Andril’s condition, Chris had another question.

‘By the way, what was it at the end? I think Andril said something to me.’

I don’t remember very well.

It’s a strange thing.

Chris has a near-perfect memory, he never forgets a story he’s heard once.

It was strange.

I had a gut feeling that I had to find out.

“Hey. Are you crazy? What did you say to me back then?”

Of course, no answer came back.

‘Is he asleep, or is he pretending to be asleep? If we torture him by throwing him in a furnace or a volcano, will he wake up? Where is the hottest place near the Dark Maga?’

While I was thinking about it, I met an unexpected person.

It was Jupienne.

He was jumping around, as if he was doing some physical training.

Jupien asked crookedly, wiping away the sweat.

“What are you doing?”

“Oh, just.”

“Are you feeling okay?”

“It’s still just like that.”

“Then let’s have a round of sparring?”

“…Didn’t you hear me just saying that?”

“If you’re a mine, you should be able to fight no matter what your physical condition is. I’m still sick, too.”

Jupienne showed her arms and legs covered by her clothes, which were covered in wounds.

It was a wound received while fighting 200 soldiers with amplified power alone.

In some ways, her injuries were worse than Chris’s, but she was up and running in a matter of days, still not fully recovered.

‘I’m not some hot-blooded idiot or anything.’

Although he shook his head repeatedly, Jupienne continued to pester Chris.

“Let’s have a go. If you get beaten up a bit, it’ll help you recover.”

Of course, Chris had no intention of challenging the duel.

As I was about to refuse, a sharp voice suddenly rang out.

“What are you doing now?”

It was Olivia.

She was looking at the two with an unusually angry look in her eyes.

While they were confused, Olivia strode towards them.

“Princess Jupienne? Drawing a sword against a patient. What are you doing?”

“…Sparring is good for recovering the body.”

“Don’t say things that even a fool wouldn’t say.”

“…….”

“How bad is Prince Christian’s condition, and you’re requesting a duel? What on earth are you thinking? Prince Christian’s internal injuries are particularly severe, and I’ve already told you that I must take absolute rest….”

Jupienne slowly took a step back.

The hot-blooded fool Mine Jupien was secretly weak to such nagging attacks.

Olivia looked at Chris this time.

Her pretty forehead wrinkled.

“You too. Why didn’t you refuse the sparring?”

“…No, that’s not it.”

I tried to refuse, but Olivia just showed up.

But Olivia’s nagging didn’t stop.

“And didn’t I clearly tell you to lie down?”

“…It’s gotten a lot better.”

“It’s getting better. The internal injury is still serious. If it continues like this and the internal injury gets worse and causes problems, what are you going to do? Go back and lie down again right away.”

Chris looked dumbfounded.

After the final battle.

Olivia was weird.

‘It wasn’t as disappointing as I had feared.’

My attitude towards Christian has changed.

To be exact, after Christian collapsed and became bedridden… the nagging increased.

‘This is similar to the nagging you used to give me.’

In a previous life, when Olivia and her brother were younger siblings.

Olivia was a very secretive nag. She was especially sensitive when he was sick or something.

Olivia’s attitude then and her appearance now were very similar.

“Well, what happens to my body doesn’t matter to you.”

“Why doesn’t it matter?”
