I Became the Genius Bastard of a Noble Dark Clan – 153

Chapter 153

Episode 153

Chris tapped Sanin on the shoulder, and Sanin gritted his teeth and dashed forward.

It seemed like I was completely hated, but it didn’t matter.

‘You’ll end up kneeling before me anyway.’

In fact, the position of Commander-in-Chief was not something he was interested in to begin with. The same goes for the position of Deputy Commander-in-Chief.

Chris’s goal is to gain Marquis Shupen’s loyalty.

‘To do that, we must first prevent Marquis Shupen from dying.’

I don’t know what’s going on though.

No, I don’t know.

I had to become as strong as possible for two months.

* * *

After being guided to our accommodations and taking a short break to stretch our bodies before starting our full-scale training, the group that followed us arrived.

[Ohhoho, I’ve missed you so much. My heart aches with how much I’ve missed you. Will you allow me to give you a touching reunion kiss?]

“…What do you miss? It’s only been a few days since we broke up. How did you come here so quickly?”

Marie wasn’t the only one who followed.

Merlin stepped forward.

“I hastened my steps to assist Confucius as soon as possible.”

“…Not because I wanted to get together as quickly as possible?”

“Haha, as expected of my lord. You know my heart well. Let’s have a game together quickly.”

Merlin smiled ferociously.

I felt a sense of momentum that was much stronger than before.

In the meantime, you’ve reached the 5-star level.

Alos came too.

“I, I…!! Sob, I too will loyally assist Confucius…!!”

‘I didn’t want to come, so why did I have to follow you!’ I was caught by Merlin and ended up following him.

‘This barrier is a dangerous place! Ugh, what if I get caught by the Four Kings and become an undead?’

Alos recalled his friend from beyond the borders, Count Roy, whom he had met at Gold Cross, with a hazy face.

Before they parted ways, Count Roy looked at Alos with eyes filled with endless pity.

‘How are you, Sir Roy? I still can’t get away from that devil today… Sob. Can’t I go into exile with the Gold Cross?’

Besides the two, there was someone else who followed them.

“…Why on earth did you come here?”

“Me? Because I’m bored.”

Joo-Pyeon, a 4-dimensional doll-like pretty girl who was quietly doing push-ups in the corner of the room, spoke bluntly.

“I think it’ll be fun here.”

“…okay.”

Chris shook his head.

‘Well, since it’s come to this, I hope we all become stronger together.’

At that moment, Merlin asked anxiously.

“But, Confucius, are you okay? I heard that you will have a duel with one of the five generals in two months.”

It had only been a day, but the rumor had already spread like wildfire.

Well, it didn’t matter.

“are you okay.”

“But? All of the five captains are 6-star mines.”

Merlin’s expression did not soften.

Of course, she trusts Chris.

I believe that given enough time, I can easily break through 6 stars.

But hasn’t it only been two months?

“Even if you are Confucius, you can’t become a 6-star in two months, right?”

“That’s true.”

Even Chris can only reach 5 stars in two months.

Of course, it is not something to be expressed as just that. After all, it is not even two years since the return, but it has reached the level of 5-star, which is classified as a ‘high-ranking mine’.

A speed unprecedented in the history of the family. No, even in the history of the continent.

“Even if you become a 5-star, it is impossible to defeat the Five Generals.”

“Why?”

“Huh? That’s because they’re 5 stars and 6 stars.”

Merlin answered as if it was a given.

Just as there is a huge gap between 4 stars and 5 stars, the gap between 5 stars and 6 stars is also the same.

If 5 stars put will into reality, 6 stars were the realm of challenging the limits of reality through will.

It is obvious that a 5 star cannot beat a 6 star, it is almost common sense.

“So, who decided that?”

“!!”

“I guess you’ve already forgotten. Why did you become loyal to me?”

Merlin clenched his jaw.

Chris, who was only a 1-star in the past, defeated Merlin, who was a 4-star.

“…You’re planning something ridiculous again.”

Yes, that’s right.

Chris had something to think about.

‘You just have to gain the strength to overcome your thoughts.’

A ridiculous idea.

Ideology is a power that has reached the limits of reality, so how can it be overcome?

but.

‘I can do it well enough.’

Chris chuckled and stood up from his seat.

I’m about to start full-scale training.

“What kind of training will you be doing? Maybe in a strange place like last time?”

“Melin asked in an expectant tone, remembering Chris’s visit to the border of Gehenna to obtain perfect will the other day.

however.

“No, the training ground.”

“Huh? You seem to have some kind of great method. Then I will ask you to set up a secret training ground.”

“No, that’s not necessary. We’ll be using the training grounds that regular soldiers use.”

“Huh? Ordinary soldiers?”

Chris nodded in response to her incomprehension and stated his plan.

“Yeah, I’m going to work out.”

A secret method to gain power that surpasses one’s will.

It was none other than physical training.

It was the beginning of extreme training.

* * *

The Dark Lords are a formidable group.

Because it is an army of 10,000 soldiers, all of whom are minions who have mastered magic.

Of course, most of them were 1-star mines, but they were not to be ignored.

Even if it was just a 1-star or 2-star hotel, you could live pretty comfortably wherever you went.

‘In the Union, you can become a full-fledged knight even if you only have two stars.’

In other words, it meant that it was not easy for an ordinary person without talent to become a first-star.

However, all of the Dark Demon Army’s soldiers were at least 1-star achievement level.

It is highly unlikely that all 10,000 soldiers would be talented.

That shows how great the training system is.

So much so that even the most untalented person can achieve at least 1 star achievement.

‘Of course the training ground is also great.’

Chris went to the training grounds located behind the Marquis of Shupen.

This is where the soldiers receive training.

From equipment for training your physical strength, to basic martial arts, to tools that help you wield magic.

It was full of all kinds of equipment for beginners learning magic for the first time.

There was just one problem, this place was only for ‘beginners’.

A place completely out of place for someone like Chris who has set foot on the threshold of a high-ranking mine.

“Hello, Prince Christian. What brings you here?”

The drill instructor asked cautiously.

“Ah, I came to do some physical training.”

“But this place?”

“I know. It’s where the first magicians learn basic training. I came here because I wanted to do basic training too.”

“Are you talking about basic training?”

“Yeah, isn’t the basics the most important thing for anything?”

“Oh, of course.”

“I’ll train quietly by myself in a corner, so you don’t have to worry about me.”

The drill instructor looked puzzled.

I was confused as to whether Chris was being sincere or not.

Regardless, Chris walked as if he was really going to do some basic training.

The first was a long-distance rescue.

Chris wore a click bracelet.

It was a sealing tool that sealed the movements of magic.

The goal is to train solely with the physical abilities of the body, without any help from magic.

‘This is the process I need most right now.’

To be honest.

I could have gotten to 5 stars today.

The situation is already overflowing with enlightenment.

But Chris was deliberately delaying his achievements.

‘I’m very unbalanced right now. To be exact, I have too many shortcomings.’

It was an incomprehensible story.

Even though he is a 4-star player, he is so lacking compared to a 5-star player?

But it was true.

‘I lack physical strength, other physical training, a vessel for magic, the absolute amount of magic, the maturity of magic, everything.’

Let’s compare it with the same 4-star Jupien.

If you were to quantify the detailed physical abilities of the two and compare them, they would be completely defeated in every aspect.

In everything from strength, stamina, agility, etc.

‘Magi is better though.’

But magic isn’t perfect either.

Of course, the operational ability to handle magic itself was excellent enough to be perfect. This is the realm of innate sense.

However, it lacked the ‘foundation’ such as the sturdiness of the vessel itself, the absolute amount, and the soundness of the magic that comes from long-term magic training.

It can’t be helped.

Because there is not enough absolute time for training.

The fact that it wasn’t noticed until now was all thanks to Chris’ overwhelming genius.

‘So far, it hasn’t been a big problem. Even with my limited abilities, I can be much more efficient than others.’

It’s different from now on.

This imbalance will inevitably come back to haunt him someday.

No, it was already affected.

‘Although it is already a 5-star achievement in the realm of the union, the power of the Aura Blade is lacking.’

It was an unexpected story.

His Auror Blade was imbued with perfect will, making it much more powerful than the other common Elder class blades.

But Chris shook his head as if he was not satisfied.

‘Originally, it should have been incomparably powerful. But right now, my Aura Blade is only at a ‘powerful level.’

The reason was simple.

A spirit is both an expression of will and a ‘vessel’ that contains will.

The content, the will, was perfect, but the energy that acted as the vessel was not perfect.

‘It’s because of the imbalance I have.’

The perfection of a river is influenced not only by will but also by various factors. That is why there are some shortcomings.

No, let’s be honest.

It wasn’t a lack of skill. By Chris’ standards, his strength was poor.

Because his will was perfect, he was able to exert this much power.

But on the other hand,

‘If the vessel of my strong energy becomes perfect, my strong energy can become perfect.’

If you have a perfect will and a perfect vessel.

At that time, his strength could truly be called absolute strength.

‘If I could obtain the ‘Absolute Power’, then confronting ‘ideology’ would not be such a vain idea.’

This was Chris’ goal this time.

‘I need to completely resolve the imbalance I have.’

It’s not enough to just strike a balance.

In particular, the purity of his dark magic is 100%. Compared to other magic, it is extremely difficult to handle.

To create a perfect vessel of such dark magic, one must have some unshakable balance.

‘The problem is time.’

Considering that it takes others at least a dozen years to build up basic skills, Chris was a full dozen years behind.

I had to catch up with that in just two months.

It’s ridiculous, though.

‘I can do it.’

As always, the reason was simple.

‘Because I’m a genius.’

So Chris started his ‘genius’ physical training.

* * *

Chris’s physical training caused quite a stir in the Dark Army.

It was all unexpected.

“Christian Prince from the main house is focusing on basic physical training? Why?”
