    Chapter 152

    Episode 152

    Amazing story.

    The true identity of the Demon King of Cheongryu, the ruler of the Southern Magic Kingdom, is that corrupted high elf.

    Originally the queen of the fairies, she sold her soul to the devil long ago and took refuge in the Magic Empire, earning the nickname of the Demon Queen of the Blue Stream.

    But why did the Demon King of Cheongryu come to see Yurian in person? Why?

    [Didn’t you ask me to do this? To use my power to prevent the Four Kings from revealing your identity.]

    “…But I didn’t know you would come in person.”

    [Haha. Of course, I could have used you as a medium to manifest my powers, so there was no need for me to come here myself. I just came because I was worried about you. You are a child I cherish. Are you okay?]

    Yulian shook his head quietly.

    “I’m fine.”

    [Really?]

    “…….”

    Yulian was silent for a moment.

    The Demon King of the Clear Stream slowly approached Yurian.

    Dalgrak. With every step I took, I could hear the friction of chains.

    The Demon King of the Clear Stream raised his hand and patted Yurian’s head.

    [Poor child. Be strong.]

    “…Don’t worry. I’m really fine.”

    [Yes, that’s right. Don’t you have a ‘reason’ to be angry at the Dark Maga? To the point of selling your soul to the devil.]

    “…….”

    Yulian bit her lip hard enough that blood flowed out.

    [Above all, I didn’t help you out of simple sympathy. Can you really dye the Dark Maga with blood as you promised?]

    Yulian nodded firmly.

    “Yes, I can. No, I definitely will. That’s the only reason I live now.”

    The Demon King of the Clear Stream smiled with satisfaction.

    [Yes, I believe you. Oh, I have a story that might help you.]

    “What is it?”

    [There has been unofficial word from the central government that a disaster is about to strike the Dark Maga.]

    center.

    It refers to a direct territory where there is mahwang.

    “What if it’s a disaster?”

    [It is a slang term used in the central area to refer to arrogant and annoying guys who do not listen to His Majesty the Demon Emperor. They are so crazy that even if you try to stop them, they will not listen, so the central area just watches them. Anyway, this incident is not bad for you.]

    The Demon King of the Clear Stream smiled faintly.

    [Their targets are Marquis Schuppen and Prince Christian. They were major obstacles to what you were trying to do, so isn’t it a good thing? Neither of you will be able to avoid death.]

    “…….”

    At that moment, Yurian’s heart sank.

    [Or, would it be better to remove Christian from their target so that you can kill him with your own hands?]

    “…no.”

    Yulian shook his head.

    She has an extreme aversion to dark magic.

    To the point where he would self-harm whenever he got the chance because he believed that his body was the blood of the Dark Maga.

    But strangely, Christian didn’t feel that disgusted.

    It’s not like we were particularly close, but it’s something that even she finds difficult to understand.

    ‘But I still have to kill him.’

    I would rather die for this incident.

    * * *

    Chris arrived in the Marquisate of Schuppen.

    The Marquisate of Shupen was located in the northeast of the Dark Maga territory.

    A location adjacent to the ‘wall’ that borders the Four Kings Castle.

    ‘In the first place, the enemy that threatened Dark Maga the most was not Gold Cross, but the Four Kings.’

    The majority of the Dark Demon Army’s troops were also on guard against the Four Kings’ Castle.

    ‘The scale of the castle is enormous.’

    Chris looked slightly impressed.

    If Barron’s Castle, where the main house was located, felt like a fancy city center, this place felt like a large fortress.

    The discipline of the guards was extremely strict.

    ‘They are the dark forces.’

    Chris glanced at the guards lining the walls.

    ‘As I’ve heard, they are all demons who have mastered magic. It’s incredible that one dark magician has such a large force.’

    The Dark Army has a total of 10,000 members.

    An incredibly large number of troops for a single family to command.

    What is even more shocking is that these troops are all made up of demons who have mastered magic.

    ‘Even if there were just 10,000 regular soldiers, it would be a huge force, but to have all of them master magic? Of course, most of them are 1st class, but it’s still an incredible feat.’

    Regular troops are 1 star.

    Veterans are 2 stars.

    The captain level is 3 stars.

    The white general is a 4-star general.

    The adjutants are 5 stars.

    The top five generals are 6 stars.

    This was the system of the Dark Lord.

    The ultimate power boasted by Dark Maga.

    Compared to other prestigious magic families, there was a severe lack of top-tier mines above 7 stars, but this was the reason why they could not take the Dark Magic family lightly.

    “Are you back?”

    As they entered the castle, a sharp-faced man who looked exactly like Marquis Schuppen greeted them.

    Not only the impression, but also the momentum felt was strong.

    Christian recognized the man’s identity at first sight.

    ‘Baron Sanin, one of the five generals and the eldest son of Marquis Shupen.’

    Compared to the Marquis of Langham, the Marquis of Schuppen married much earlier.

    So the children had been grown for a long time.

    The eldest son was in his mid-thirties, and had recently reached the level of 6-star, becoming the fifth leader of the Dark Demon Army.

    ‘He became a 6-star in his thirties, so his talent is not lacking compared to Ashed.’

    Ashed reached four-star status in his early twenties.

    If such an Ashed had grown up without a hitch, he would have reached 6th level around the age of 30, so it could be said that he had similar qualities.

    If he was a direct descendant, he would have the qualifications to aim for the Grand Duke.

    Maybe that’s why the way she looked at Christian wasn’t very good.

    “Your Majesty, what about this boy?”

    “I am Prince Christian of the main family. I have come to take the succession test. Sanin, please show me where you will be staying in the family mansion.”

    “Why is it a mansion and not a barracks?”

    He asked in a strange tone.

    “I have not yet accepted Prince Christian into the Dark Army.”

    It meant that until Christian was acknowledged, he would be treated as a guest, not as a member of the Dark Army.

    “I know what you mean.”

    “Then I will go. I will leave Confucius in your care.”

    The two men, Baron Sanin, spoke to Chris.

    “Prince Christian, please wait a moment. I will prepare the carriage.”

    “The carriage is fine. You can just ride a horse.”

    It’s a useless courtesy.

    however.

    “I can’t treat a distinguished guest from my family carelessly. Moreover, isn’t your Majesty a precious person who is considered the next candidate for my family? Especially since this is a remote area, the roads aren’t as well paved as the castle walls of my family. It would be inconvenient for your honorable person to travel by yourself, so I will take you by carriage.”

    “!!”

    Chris frowned slightly.

    ‘Look at this?’

    At first glance, the content of the speech itself seems polite.

    But this was a mockery.

    It’s like Chris is a precious flower that can’t even walk properly on its own.

    This is not an exaggeration.

    I know it when I look into your eyes.

    There was a look of contempt in Baron Sanin’s eyes towards Christian.

    It was a blatant glow, as if there was no intention of hiding it.

    ‘It’s been a while since I’ve seen that kind of gaze. Well, it’s a talent that can make you arrogant.’

    If you have 6 stars in your thirties, it is a talent that you can be proud of no matter which family you go to, even if it is not comparable to the ‘real talents’.

    A talent that will likely reach 7 stars, and maybe even aim for 8 stars.

    ‘It’s understandable that a young child who hasn’t even reached the 5th star is bragging about being the son of the main family. Furthermore, since I’m originally from the same collateral line as him, it might be even more insulting.’

    But that didn’t mean he would understand.

    After all, he is the one who will have to kneel before you anyway.

    “The carriage is fine. I will go by horse.”

    “That is not proper.”

    Chris’s speech changed.

    “Aren’t I saying I’m okay?”

    “!!”

    Baron Sanin’s eyes hardened.

    “Or are you making fun of me?”

    “…That’s not it.”

    “Contrary to your answer, it seems like you have a lot of complaints about me?”

    “…….”

    Chris chuckled.

    “Do it right. If you’re going to treat me like a prince of the main family, then do it properly and respectfully. If not, then show your teeth. What’s that half-assed, uncharacteristic thing to do? It’s not like you’re going to show off like those Union guys.”

    “…….”

    Like those Union guys.

    It was as bad an insult as a parent’s. Especially for a proud person like Sanin.

    Chris couldn’t stop talking, even though he saw Sanin’s fists clench white.

    “I don’t want to, but you won’t force me to treat you as your family’s son. After all, I’ve been assigned to the Dark Army.”

    “…That can’t be.”

    “Really? You’ll regret it?”

    Chris looked at Sanin with the corners of his lips raised in an unfortunate manner.

    “If I become the deputy commander, I plan to treat you like a subordinate. You will regret the arrogance you showed me just now.”

    “!!”

    Sanin’s bloodshot eyes were filled with anger.

    “It will never happen that Confucius becomes the deputy commander. You are not unaware of the Dark Demon Army’s rank regulations, are you?”

    “Ah, of course I know. You’re saying that to be worthy of being a deputy commander, you have to be able to defeat at least one of the five generals by force?”

    Chris continued.

    “Would you like to make a bet? In two months, I’ll be able to defeat one of the Five Generals.”

    “!!”

    Sanin made a bewildered expression.

    “What nonsense?”

    “I think I can do it?”

    Chris tilted his head crookedly.

    “Looking at you, the commander doesn’t seem like much. I think we can easily defeat him in two months.”

    “!!”

    Sanin’s face turned red as if it was going to burst.

    I’m really angry.

    “…You will regret those words.”

    “You accept the bet? Here are the conditions. You bet your position as a commander of the five factions. I will bet my position as a prince.”

    “!!”

    “If you lose, you will hand over the position of General of the Five Commanders to me. On the other hand, if I lose, I will step down from my position as a Duke.”

    Defeating one of the five generals does not immediately make you the deputy commander.

    Because those are just the ‘minimum’ qualifications.

    You must have separate achievements to become a deputy commander.

    But you can’t start from the bottom, so it would be appropriate to start from around the level of the fifth general.

    Of course, that was when we could win.

    “Are you joking about stepping down from your position as a prince?”

    Sanin growled harshly.

    “Isn’t this a joke? You must have forgotten, I’m in the middle of a succession test. If I can’t even do this, I’d rather give up my position as a prince.”

    “…….”

    Sanin shut his mouth firmly.

    It was a look of confusion.

    That too for a moment.

    “Don’t expect me to be considerate. You’ll regret your decision today.”

    “I won’t give in to your circumstances either. Don’t cry over losing your position as the fifth lieutenant. It’s a bit burdensome for me to see a 30-year-old brother cry.”

    “…you!”

    Chris shrugged and said.

    “Enough of the story. Didn’t you say you’d show me where to live? If you’re going to do it, show me to the best room in the mansion. Oh, and for the menu, I’d like to have the best beef, preferably sirloin.”

    “…….”

    “What are you standing here for? Why don’t you hurry up and get ahead of me?”
