I Became the Genius Bastard of a Noble Dark Clan – 164

Chapter 164

Episode 164

After hearing the details of the operation, Marquis Schuppen objected.

Because it was dangerous.

who?

Chris.

“You can never follow this. If you do something wrong, you will definitely die!”

“It’s a little dangerous.”

“A little? You call that a word?!”

“But is there any other way to win without sacrifice? Who knows how many of the five generals might die.”

“…….”

Marquis Schuppen was silent for a moment, then said something unexpected.

“Even if all five generals die, it is not worth as much as you alone.”

I was sincere.

For the future of Dark Maga, Christian must never die.

That was the mind of Marquis Schuppen.

but.

“What kind of overprotective behavior are you trying to show? Do you think I am the young lord of the union?”

“!!”

“First of all, I am the one who will become the master of the Dark Maga. How can I just hide behind others?”

If there was no chance of winning, Chris wouldn’t have come forward like this.

It might be risky, but it was worth a try.

In the end, Marquis Schuppen had no choice but to nod.

“…There is a condition, however. If it doesn’t seem right, you must step back immediately.”

“Okay, don’t worry.”

After that, we prepared to face the mysterious monster of Maga.

First of all, security has been strengthened.

So that if a suspicious person comes in, it can be detected immediately.

I made various other preparations.

“…Are you saying that this kind of technique is really possible?”

“Yes, because I’m a genius.”

“…That’s ridiculous.”

I dug a trap with the five generals.

“Are you really asking me to do something like that?”

“It’s not that difficult, so you can do it, right?”

“Oh, it’s not that difficult, but I might die!!”

“I think it would be fun.”

I gave some missions to Alos and Jupienne.

“Don’t you have anything to do?”

Chris answered Merlin’s question.

“Of course. Just wait. The supplies will arrive soon.”

Just like that story, a person came to find Chris.

“Long time no see?”

“…Oh, it’s been a while.”

A beautiful woman with a calm expression and a chewed face appeared before Christian.

It was Ruina.

“You don’t seem very happy?”

“Oh, no! I’m just so happy that my face is frozen with emotion, ohhoho!!”

‘You evil devil! Are you glad to see me?! It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, but I’m glad I haven’t seen you.’ In the end, even though I gained a lot from Gold Cross, I was still feeling bad because I remembered all the hardships I had because of Chris.

Even the reason we met this time was because Christian asked me to get him something.

‘Do you think I’m a mobile treasure trove?! Just tell me and I’ll take it out!’

“Did you get the items safely?”

“Ohhoho. Of course. But… this was extremely hard to get.”

“okay?”

“Yes, I was barely able to get it out by offering a huge bribe to the highest level of the Holy Empire….”

“So, so?”

When Chris started to argue, Ruina got angry.

“I’m asking for money! Including shipping, it’s 2 million rupees! It can’t be less than that!”

The object she brought this time was not an artifact.

However, since it was an item thoroughly managed by the Holy Empire, it cost over 1 million rupees in bribes alone.

“Hmm? That’s disappointing.”

“What disappointment…! It’s natural for a merchant to reveal money…!”

“You’re trying to be satisfied with such a small sum of money. I wanted to give you more in return.”

Ruina flinched.

“…what if it costs more?”

“Ah, I have another deal coming up.”

Ruina swallowed hard.

I saw Chris smiling faintly.

I had a gut feeling.

You shouldn’t listen to that story.

It must be the whisper of a terrible devil.

but.

“…Wh, what’s going on?”

There is no way a money bug could ignore money-making work.

‘Just listen. Just listen.’

Chris whispered softly to Ruina, who was determined to make a decision.

Playfully.

As if the devil were tempting.

“Wouldn’t you like to come together and talk about the poisonous Maga together sometime soon?”

“!!”

Ruina’s face turned pale.

“Wh, what?”

“Oh, I mean, it looks like the poisonous Maga incident is going to happen soon.”

It seems quiet now though.

A major event will occur in both families in the near future.

The conflict between the Poisonous Maga and the Dark Maga.

Abbreviated as Dokam conflict.

‘Actually, it wouldn’t have gone that far, but thanks to the trickery of the Demon King of Cheongryu, it escalated into an incredibly large-scale conflict. They barely avoided an all-out war, but both families suffered great damage.’

Chris planned to use this conflict to his own advantage.

‘My goal is not simply to become the head of the Dark Magic Family. I must begin preparing to bring the Southern Magical Nation under my feet.’

I think other people will doubt their ears if they hear this.

But I meant it.

‘To do that, you have to dig a trap.’

We needed outside assistance, and Ruina would be a good fit.

“That, that… That extremely poisonous Maga. Our top division couldn’t even advance to the extremely poisonous Maga side?”

The poisonous Maga was different from the dark Maga.

As expected of someone who deals with poison, the atmosphere of the family was gloomy and extremely closed.

“So wouldn’t this be a better opportunity? Let’s use this opportunity to pioneer the Extreme Poison Maga.”

“…….”

“Imagine. What profits could be made if we could distribute the poisonous Maga’s medicine.”

Ruina swallowed without realizing it.

Just imagining it gave me a dizzying sense of ecstasy.

“Ha, but… Are you trying to make me do something weird again?”

“Don’t worry. It’ll never happen like last time.”

“…Really?”

“Oh my, have I been living a life of deception? I promise on the honor of Mine.”

Ruina felt a little uneasy, but nodded.

The reward was too sweet to turn down.

‘Luckily I caught it.’

Chris cheered inwardly.

By the way, even though he staked his reputation on mine, Chris believed that mine’s proper virtues were lying and backstabbing.

‘Well, I won’t make you do the same thing as last time, so I wasn’t lying.’

Anyway, the matter of the poisonous Maga was something to think about after stopping the mysterious Maga monster.

Chris, who had sent Ruina away, took a step forward.

There was something else to do.

The final measure for this matter.

It was time to sharpen the secret weapon to slay the mysterious Maga monster.

* * *

The place Christian was headed to was Sayeonok (邪煉獄).

It is a prison that holds prisoners of the Four Kings Castle.

‘What a gloomy place.’

Chris shook his head as he looked at the view of the prison.

Of course, it wasn’t a good environment for a place to imprison enemies.

‘You must gain the ability to neutralize the mysterious Maga monster here.’

As I was moving my feet, I heard an unexpected voice.

[You’re thinking reckless thoughts.]

“!!”

Chris flinched.

A chilling voice with a strange instrument in it.

It was Mephina, the demon of Gehenna!

‘What’s going on?’

[I came to warn you.]

A faint voice was heard.

[I know what you are planning right now.]

“…….”

Chris kept his mouth shut.

[I know you are different from ordinary mortals. But there is a limit to arrogance. You will die. No, you may end up in a terrible situation where you can neither live nor die.]

Chris chuckled.

‘shut up.’

[…what?]

‘Why are you talking about something so dirty and demonic? After all, you’re asking me to give you my soul in exchange for my help, right?’

[… … .]

‘Get out, it’s disgusting. I have no intention of dealing with a dirty devil, even if it means dying.’

There was silence for a moment.

I could sense Mephina’s rage on the other side of Gehenna.

An eerie murderous aura that crossed the dimensional boundary weighed on Chris’s soul.

but.

‘What’s the point of getting angry? You won’t be able to do anything anyway.’

Christian had a blank expression on his face.

however.

Mephina spoke with a different tone than before.

[Good. This time, you will face despair for sure.]

“…….”

[You dare to challenge a demon, a mortal.]

A voice that is certain that Chris will fail.

There was good reason for that.

In order to stop the mysterious monster of Maga, Chris had to confront the demon directly through some means, as Mephina had said.

‘I didn’t tell Marquis Shupen about this. If he had known, he would have stopped me from doing it.’

[You will eventually seek my salvation in dire despair. I will joyfully await the moment when you will cry out to me.]

That was the last time Mephina disappeared.

It was a chilling warning, but Christian shook his head.

‘I have no intention of failing.’

Of course, it is true that it is an extremely difficult task.

Because I have to deal with the devil.

It’s not that it’s difficult, but it’s something that would be absolutely impossible to do originally.

But Christian was determined to do it.

There was a plan.

Chris stepped into the prison cell.

“Meet Prince Christian!!”

The guard nodded.

“Yeah, you heard the story of why I came, right? Guide him.”

“Okay, okay, I understand.”

As we walked down the dark basement, the guard asked cautiously.

“That… why do you want to meet that guy? He’s someone who was abandoned by the Four Kings, so he’s not someone that the Duke would be particularly interested in.”

The person Chris was trying to meet was not a great guy.

A 5-star black magician from the Curse of Maga.

It was common for captured prisoners to be exchanged for one another, but this guy refused to be exchanged at the Four Kings Castle.

I guess I got left behind because I stood in the wrong line.

‘He’s not a great guy, but he’s got just what I need.’

“Ah, nothing much. I just wanted to steal something to learn.”

“Huh? Huh? Even if he was abandoned by his family, would he try to teach them the secrets?”

The magician’s families are divided into two types.

Matou series, black magic series.

‘If we categorize Dark Maga, it would be in the Matou lineage.’

The most prestigious black magic schools have a more sophisticated spell system.

Even if they use the same type of spell, their power is completely different from that of ordinary black magicians outside.

So, for example, if we take a curse as an example, even if it is a ‘bad luck’ spell with the same achievement, the curse cast by a black magician from the curse mark is much darker and more powerful.

This is because the same order has been improved over generations.

In other words, the common black magic that can be learned outside and the black magic of the famous family of that spell series are of the same type, but they can also be said to be completely different spells.

‘The spells that are publicly available are the deteriorated versions. Should we say that the spells unique to that prestigious family are the higher versions?’

Of course, this information is kept strictly confidential.

“Well, I don’t think he’ll open his mouth easily. I’ll take care of it, so don’t worry about it.”

“Yes, yes.”

As we reached the deep underground chamber, where the stench of rottenness filled the air, we saw a gaunt man chained up in iron chains.

He was a black magician from the cursed horde.

“…What’s going on?”

“I am Christian, Prince of Dark Magic. I have come to make a deal with you.”

“Deal? I have nothing to give you since I am an abandoned person. Are you hoping for the orders of the main family?”

Christian nodded.

“okay.”

The warlock laughed.

“You don’t know that even though you’re a Confucius? Our magicians of the Cursed Maga cannot reveal the family secrets. They are forbidden to reveal them, so if you do, you will die in terrible pain.”

It was a measure taken by most prestigious black magic families to prevent external leaks.

“I’m not interested in specific techniques.”

“then?”

“Show me the five-star Jin-gang curse you’ve mastered.”

It refers to black magic of the same level as Ganggi.

A state where one can express one’s will through ordering.

“That’s a strange request. Do you really think you can steal and learn a spell just by looking at it?”

By the way, this warlock has been in prison for over 5 years.

Of course, I didn’t even know who Christian was.
