    Chapter 156

    Episode 156

    It wasn’t rare for a 5-star or higher mine to be in the Dark Army. There were quite a few of them.

    But none of the Dark Lord’s 5-star mines had ever shown such an intimidating presence.

    If Christian’s level was at the top, or upper, among the five stars, then it would be possible to force himself to understand.

    But isn’t Christian only just become a 5-star?

    But just looking at it gave me an eerie sense of oppression.

    Those with lower levels were so overwhelmed by the pressure that they had difficulty looking straight in the eye, and those who had reached a certain level had to raise their magical energy.

    But the ones who were most shocked were the high-ranking minions.

    These are those who have reached the upper level among the 5 stars.

    Those standing in front of the six-star wall glared at Christian, realizing how he could exude such an intense intimidating force.

    ‘Have you reestablished your own vessel? How?’

    A vessel is an abstract and mutable concept.

    Depending on the efforts, achievements, and experiences you have accumulated, it can grow or, conversely, it can shrink.

    Also, cracks may appear in the bowl for various reasons.

    If there is a crack, it may not be noticeable right away, but it will definitely come back to haunt you later.

    But it was inevitable that the bowl would get scratched.

    It is inevitable that stains will appear on the dishes you use.

    Therefore, all the high-ranking minions have problems, big or small, in their vessels.

    The important thing here is whether we can overcome this problem.

    The best way is to re-establish it, as if melting the bowl in a furnace again.

    Completely clean, with no residue whatsoever.

    But it is not easy.

    Even among the 5-star mines, no, even among the 6-star mines, there were many who were unable to reestablish their status.

    Even among the high-ranking minions, there are many who only cover up the problems of the vessel as a last resort, but how can they re-establish the vessel in such a short period of time?

    Chris thought calmly to himself.

    ‘Well, it wasn’t difficult. I was refining the vessel while resolving the imbalance of the vessel, which was my problem up until now.’

    The vessel that had been problematic became perfect and began to exude a deeper sense of oppression.

    It wasn’t just that the sense of pressure had grown stronger.

    Even if they have the same achievements, there is a big difference between those who have a flawless vessel and those who do not.

    This leads to an increase in real power.

    “You’re really amazing. There’s a reason they call you a genius at home.”

    One of the figures at the top of the stage said.

    The third commander was Leon, the third commander.

    The second commander, Duke, spoke heavily.

    “I don’t think we should let our guard down. Something is off.”

    There were three generals currently in the arena.

    The second is Duke, the third is Leon, and the youngest is Sanin.

    The other two were on guard duty at the barrier.

    “What do you think, Master Sanin? Is that possible? Should I just step forward? It seems like you’re not in very good shape either.”

    Leon asked with a single smile.

    “I don’t think that will happen, but if we lose, it’ll be a disaster.”

    “!!”

    Sanin was gnashing his teeth.

    “That won’t happen.”

    “Hmm, I think it would be better not to overdo it.”

    “What the hell. Don’t insult me any further with your nonsense.”

    Leon laughed heartily.

    It was a playful laugh, as if he really thought that Sanin would lose.

    Even though I re-established the vessel, the difference in realm was too great.

    “Still, don’t let your guard down.”

    “joy.”

    Sanin got up from the stage and went down to the training ground.

    The two stood facing each other.

    “His Majesty the Marquis has other business to attend to and will not be attending the duel.”

    “Well, it doesn’t matter.”

    “Let me ask you one last time. Do you have any intention of giving up the duel?”

    Sanin spoke in a low voice.

    “My willpower is so rough that I don’t have the confidence to not see blood. I can’t take responsibility if you die or become disabled.”

    A creepy story.

    But it wasn’t a simple threat.

    The idea is a decisive battle technique that challenges the limits of reality with will.

    It is difficult to control the power.

    If Chris can’t handle it, then there will be a big disaster, as Sanin said.

    From Sanin’s perspective, it was a warning that was meant with sincerity.

    “Can I say something too?”

    “…What is it?”

    “Don’t whine after losing. Like I said before, I don’t like seeing my thirties-older brother cry.”

    “!!”

    Sanin’s face burned with anger.

    “you!!”

    At that moment.

    There was a flash of darkness.

    It was a black dragon.

    Chris suddenly attacked me.

    * * *

    Meanwhile, at that time.

    In the sky-high spires of the Marquisate of Schuppen, unexpected figures were conversing.

    “…Why did you come here?”

    [Didn’t I tell you? It was an inspection.]

    “…Are you saying this all of a sudden?”

    [Yeah. I guess you’re dissatisfied. Did I come to a place I couldn’t come to?]

    “That’s not it.”

    Marquis Schuppen made a face of trepidation.

    It was because of the identity of the person in front of me.

    The appearance of a young boy.

    It was the avatar of the Norsemen of Nogaju!

    To be exact, it was an ideological body.

    Because of the distance, only the consciousness was sent to the Marquis of Shupen, not the actual avatar.

    “Have you come to see Christian’s duel?”

    [Absolutely not. What’s so beautiful about a bad guy who leaves without even saying goodbye to his teacher?]

    The Norse frowned.

    [If you left in a hurry, you should have sent a letter to your teacher. It’s been over two months and there’s been no news. What kind of disciple is that guy? A bad guy who only thinks of using me.]

    “…….”

    Marquis Schuppen was silent.

    Because the Norseman looked like an old mother who was mad at her grandson.

    If Marian or Simon were next to me, I’m sure they would have nodded vigorously, saying that I was crazy.

    Only Marian and Simon knew how much Nordian had been grumbling behind their backs for the past two months.

    ‘The rumors that he cherishes Prince Christian are true. Even though it is just a thought, he came to watch the duel in person.’

    Marquis Schuppen asked in a strange tone.

    “Who do you think will win, my lord?”

    [You mean the duel with your son? That’s it… .]

    “No, I mean Langham and Christian.”

    [!!]

    “Christian becoming the Archduke means that he will eventually have to face Langham.”

    Marquis Schuppen lowered his eyes.

    “Honestly, Christian, you have no chance at all. Why are you recklessly trying to force me into a dead end?”

    [… … .]

    “Christian will die.”

    The Norseman did not answer for a moment.

    Marquis Schuppen continued speaking as if he had made up his mind.

    “I think that the Lord should have acknowledged Langham as his successor. If he had, Langham would not have gone astray like he has now.”

    It wasn’t a wrong point.

    The reason Marquis Langham is like this now is because he was not recognized as successor by the Nordians.

    “Although Langham was blocked by the wall and could not reach the 8th star, he must have done well in his own way. I also would have supported him wholeheartedly.”

    [Yeah, maybe it wasn’t so bad.]

    “It’s the same as the Lord ruining the love.”

    Marquis Schuppen continued sharply.

    To begin with, Marquis Shupen, who was a strong-willed man, was not the type to be picky with his words even to his master.

    Surprisingly, Nordian did not deny Schuppen’s words.

    [Yes, I know. It was my fault for ruining the romance.]

    “Langham will do well. Even now….”

    but.

    [I guess I can do better in times of peace.]

    “!!”

    [In the terrible future to come, Langham will never be able to protect Dark Maga.]

    The Marquis of Schuppen’s eyes hardened.

    [Aren’t you vaguely guessing? What kind of bloody wind is blowing through the Magic Empire.]

    The Norse continued speaking in a heavy voice.

    [It has been a long time since His Majesty the Demon Emperor has been silent. Shupen, do you know why His Majesty the Demon Emperor has been silent?]

    “…I don’t know about the central government.”

    [I don’t know exactly either. But His Majesty the Demon Emperor is definitely still strong. And yet, he doesn’t say anything and just watches the chaos in the vassal states. Not to mention the Four Kings, the situation in the West is also not good.]

    The Norse sighed softly.

    [I don’t know what the Demon Emperor is thinking. But if things continue this way, a great chaos will occur and the entire Demon Empire will be drenched in blood. Maybe that’s what the Demon Emperor wants.]

    “…….”

    [Langham will never be able to protect Dark Maga in that chaos.]

    Marquis Schuppen said as if he couldn’t understand.

    “So, you’re saying that Christian is possible? A kid like that? Isn’t that too much to think about?”

    Shupen continued sarcastically.

    “That kid will have a hard time dealing with the pain.”

    The Norseman was silent for a moment.

    [You may be right. No, you will be right. I know it’s too much to hope for.]

    “But why?”

    [Because there is no hope other than Christian.]

    “!!”

    The Norse continued bitterly.

    [I am a ‘ghost’. I should have left and disappeared long ago. Because of my heart for Dark Maga, I am just holding on ugly, even using the secret art of reversing the flow, but I cannot do anything for Dark Maga.]

    The word ‘ghost’ was not just a metaphor.

    Norse was originally destined to die long ago.

    He used the secret art of reversing the flow of time to defy death, but in return he was subject to great restrictions.

    A restriction that prevents any interference with family affairs.

    If you break this restriction, the remaining time will decrease rapidly in proportion.

    A secret known only to Marion, Simon, and the Marquis of Schuppen within the family.

    There was one reason why he defied death despite these restrictions.

    Because the Dark Maga needed a being called Nordian.

    The reason why the enemies targeting the Dark Maga cannot easily act rashly is because they fear the Nordians.

    If the Nordian dies and leaves, the enemies targeting the Dark Maga will immediately extend their reach.

    [That’s why I have high hopes for Christian. There’s nothing I can do but place my hopes on that kid.]

    At Gaju’s words, Marquis Shupen’s heart sank.

    “…But that’s still impossible.”

    The Norseman let out a low laugh and began talking about something else.

    [You asked me earlier why I went all the way here to watch a duel?]

    “…Yes, that was it.”

    The Norse glanced down at the spire.

    The duel between Christian and Sanin was just beginning.

    A duel in which Christian can never win, as he is objectively no match for his opponent.

    Still.

    [I wanted to check.]

    “!!”

    The Norse’s bloodshot eyes glared at Christian.

    densely.

    [I wanted to see that kid’s crazy appearance and confirm again that my choice was not wrong.]

    * * *

    Christian’s sudden surprise attack.

    Sanin was surprised and quickly raised his voice.

    Kwaaaaang!!

    A loud noise rang out.

    A strong wind blew around as if a bomb had exploded.

    ‘The power of the Black Dragon?!’
