    Chapter 162

    Episode 162

    Chris smiled faintly.

    “I was very lacking today.”

    “…….”

    “See you tomorrow.”

    The map match wasn’t meant to be a one-time thing.

    I decided to repeat it every day.

    Today was just the beginning.

    ‘I’m not really going to get hit with a bullet, am I?’

    Marquis Schuppen frowned as he looked at his faintly tingling fingers.

    Even though I deployed the magic barrier, the impact was transmitted beyond.

    ‘no way.’

    Marquis Schuppen shook his head.

    But as each day passes by.

    Christian continued to show new appearances.

    The gap did not narrow.

    It wasn’t a distance that could be narrowed down with a few sparring sessions.

    But each time, Marquis Schuppen received a new shock.

    Even though they are clearly no match for each other.

    Despite the gap that seemed unbridgeable, Christian made thrilling attacks every now and then.

    Even the Marquis of Schuppen felt threatened at times.

    ‘Is a monster a monster?’

    Considering the gap between the two, this is absurd.

    No matter how hard the rabbit tries, it is impossible for it to threaten the elephant.

    It’s painful to say, but it was Christian’s crazy genius that made this possible.

    By trying to read all of Marquis Shupen’s movements, he tried to exploit the loopholes in his magic patterns, and he even exploited loopholes that Marquis Shupen himself was unaware of.

    No, can you call that a loophole?

    It was just a space that was dimly open since it was impossible for the opponent to attack anyway, but Christian didn’t even miss that.

    What’s creepy is that as the sparring continues, growth is visible.

    Yesterday and today.

    Even today, the beginning and end of the training were clearly different.

    ‘It’ll be different tomorrow.’

    Marquis Schuppen clicked his tongue.

    The thought crossed my mind that I might actually get a hit.

    “What a truly amazing talent. Even Lord Noga would pale in comparison to your talent.”

    It was rave reviews.

    In fact, the more they fought, the more the Marquis of Schuppen liked Christian.

    Christian was clearly the one who would brighten the future of Dark Maga.

    But Christian gave an unexpected answer.

    “It’s not because of talent.”

    “what?”

    “Even if I am a genius, do you think it is possible for me to show this much against a top-ranking mine like Your Majesty?”

    Marquis Schuppen was momentarily unable to answer.

    “There is one reason why I can show this appearance.”

    “…what?”

    “It is because I am determined to give Your Majesty a blow.”

    “under.”

    The Marquis of Schuppen burst into laughter at the still thunderous sound.

    “You still don’t quite understand the topic.”

    “No, I know. It is nearly impossible for me to even reach Your Majesty’s sleeve with my current strength.”

    “But why would you try something so reckless?”

    “As the future master of the Dark Maga, I would like to give you a piece of my mind for neglecting your duty.”

    “…what?”

    Marquis Schuppen’s face looked blank for a moment.

    I was doubtful whether I had heard it correctly.

    But I didn’t mishear.

    “Are you crazy?”

    “I’m not crazy. While we’re on the subject, can I say one more thing?”

    An even more absurd and crazy sound was heard.

    “As the next master of the Dark Maga, I ask you: Do you, Your Majesty, pride yourself in your unscrupulous loyalty to the Dark Maga?”

    “…What the hell.”

    Marquis Schuppen was about to burst into anger, but then shut his mouth firmly.

    It was because of Christian’s eyes.

    It wasn’t just an arrogant look.

    Deeply sunken.

    It was a look of oppression, as if an absolute being was scolding a subordinate.

    So, just like Norse showed in the past.

    “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’ve dedicated my entire life to protecting the Dark Maga.”

    “But why are you turning a blind eye to the wrongdoings happening in your hometown?”

    “!!”

    This is what the Marquis of Langham did wrong.

    Chris continued with a glare in his eyes.

    “Not only did Marquis Langham join hands with the Four Kings, he also committed all sorts of evil acts behind the scenes in order to forcibly surpass the realm. Doesn’t Your Majesty know all about it?”

    Although it has not been revealed publicly.

    The Marquis of Langham committed all sorts of terrible acts against humanity in order to forcibly cross the realm.

    The human sacrifices Ashed had previously performed were so cute that they felt like a form of affection.

    “…….”

    The Marquis of Schuppen was speechless.

    Of course he knew that too.

    Even though Marquis Langham had been kicked out of his position as head of the household, this was an act that could never be forgiven.

    “…I and the Marquis Shupen are merely shields protecting the main house.”

    “Heh heh, is that what you call talking?”

    Christian’s eyes became fierce and scolding.

    “Do you think that you can just do your own thing without caring about how the Dark Maga rots away? Can that really be called proper loyalty?”

    “…….”

    Marquis Schuppen had no answer.

    The Norsemen of Nogaju are unable to intervene in the affairs of their clan due to ‘restrictions’.

    So, even though they knew that Marquis Langham had committed such a terrible act, they failed to punish him.

    Currently, the only one who can punish Marquis Langham in the Dark Maga is Marquis Shupen.

    But he didn’t come forward.

    Because it was outside his authority as a collateral.

    “Can I ask you one more thing?”

    “…What is it?”

    “Actually, don’t you want to come out?”

    “!!”

    Marquis Schuppen’s eyes wavered.

    Christian continued in a soft voice.

    As if reproaching.

    No, if you listen to it, it’s like seduction.

    “You want to overturn it right away, but aren’t you forcibly drawing a line and suppressing it?”

    Marquis Schuppen gritted his teeth.

    It was accurate.

    He is a mine-like mine more than anyone else.

    I was very angry at what Langham did behind the scenes.

    But I just suppressed it forcibly.

    There was no choice.

    It wouldn’t be right for him, a collateral relative, to get involved in the main family’s affairs.

    The moment he steps forward, the identity of the Marquis Shupen, who has served as a bulwark protecting his family home, is shaken to its core.

    The Marquis of Shupen will no longer be the loyal watchdog of his family.

    ‘This is the reason why Marquis Shupen cannot reach the 8th star.’

    Chris thought to himself.

    In fact, Marquis Schuppen has already finished preparing to ascend to the 8th star.

    But 8 stars is the realm of ‘absolute’.

    Beyond making fun of the laws of the world, it was a stage where one ruled the microcosm.

    There had to be no contradiction left in the mind.

    “…Are you saying that I should interfere in my family’s affairs?”

    “Well, I’m not forcing you.”

    Christian shrugged and said in an unlucky tone.

    “Even if it’s not Your Majesty, I will be the one to punish Marquis Langham anyway.”

    “!!”

    “However, I am giving Your Majesty the opportunity to choose.”

    Christian raised the corners of his mouth in a mocking manner.

    “Whether to live with shame or to be proud of yourself. Throw away the excuses of being a collateral relative and all.”

    “!!”

    Marquis Schuppen’s eyes wavered.

    Chris spat, blood spurting out from his sparring mess.

    Although his other physical conditions were a mess, he got up and aimed his sword again.

    “But remember, if you want to protect something, sometimes you have to boldly cross the line and move forward.”

    “!!”

    “If you only focus on protecting things, there will come a day when you won’t be able to protect even the things that are truly precious.”

    Pfft!

    The sword swung.

    It was only for a few days.

    The movements are clearly different from when we first started sparring.

    Although he was only a 5-star player, he was up against Marquis Shupen, who had reached the end of the 7-star rank.

    Of course, if Marquis Shupen had properly unleashed his power, the match would have been decided in an instant, but it was truly incredible that he could even match them in skill alone.

    ‘It’s not just talent.’

    Marquis Schuppen admitted.

    This wasn’t something that could be done with talent alone.

    will.

    Christian did not set limits for himself as he said.

    He didn’t hesitate even if dealing with Marquis Schuppen was like throwing an egg at a rock.

    He challenged and challenged again as if he were trying to smash a rock with an egg.

    It’s still like that now.

    ‘That sword now.’

    A sword strikes from below and rises.

    This is an attack that should not normally be attempted.

    It was possible to exploit the gap, but on the other hand, the risk was also great.

    But Christian had attempted this attack countless times before, and had managed to catch him off guard each time.

    At that moment, an idea occurred to Marquis Schuppen.

    ‘No way. Are you trying to show me?’

    All the images of Christian that I had seen so far came to mind.

    Marquis Shupen is a member of the Matou family.

    He excelled in martial arts rather than black magic.

    So we were able to figure out what Christian’s actions up to now meant.

    Throughout the whole training.

    Christian didn’t set any limits for himself.

    As if to show off.

    As if to protest to Marquis Schuppen.

    ‘… How beautiful.’

    The Marquis of Schuppen thought to himself.

    The reckless stunts Christian performs.

    In the end, the wings that surpassed the limit made the heart of Marquis Schuppen, Matugain, beat faster.

    ‘I used to be like that too.’

    When he was young he was different from how he is now.

    He did not hesitate to go through fire and water to become stronger, and caused all kinds of accidents.

    There was even a time when he almost died after he went into the Demon Sword Maga to fight with a sword.

    But at some point he changed.

    It’s because I’m getting older and carrying more weight on my shoulders.

    ‘I was tied up.’

    Just then, Christian’s attack was flying diagonally.

    As expected, a sharp and threatening attack that catches you off guard.

    I was impressed again, but I had no intention of giving in.

    He narrowed his eyes and reached out his hand.

    But then something strange happened.

    The magic wrapped around his hand began to shake.

    ‘Are you trying to interfere with my magic by using the nature of dark magic’s dominance? How dare you?’

    The purity of Marquis Shupen’s dark magic is 70%.

    So, since Christian had the upper hand in terms of control over Dark Magic, he could attempt such an attack.

    Of course, the difference in skill level was so great that it was just a meaningless attempt.

    In fact, Christian had tried similar things several times in previous fights, but had failed.

    ‘This kind of thing.’

    As he tried to shake off his dominance by shaking his hands, Marquis Shupen’s eyes opened wide.

    Unlike before, the dominance did not decline.

    For a moment, Marquis Schuppen’s hands were tied.

    “I said I don’t think about limits, right?”

    A black scorpion flew into my neck.

    ‘this.’

    Marquis Schuppen immediately resorted to other means.

    The ‘law’ was manipulated with the power of the seven stars.

    So that the sword that was pointed straight is twisted diagonally.

    ‘You made me manipulate the laws to defend myself.’

    But the surprise didn’t end there.

    Even though the law was manipulated, the direction of the sword flew straight towards Marquis Shupen without any change!

    ‘Why?’

    Marquis Schuppen soon realized why.
