I Became the Genius Bastard of a Noble Dark Clan – 168

Chapter 168

Episode 168

The background completely disappeared, and the space was filled with only darkness.

Then, far above, the darkness parted and a large eye appeared.

Eerie eyes that seem to look down on the whole world.

[Yes… I will answer your call…]

“!!”

Chris’s whole body trembled.

It was a physical reaction, independent of one’s will.

The soul felt pressured by the overwhelming difference in status.

If it had been anyone other than Chris, I would have lost consciousness the moment I met those eyes.

‘Wake up!’

Christ clenched his fists as he began to lose his mind.

‘There has to be a way.’

If he had faced such a demon in real life, even Chris would have been helpless, but this place is different.

Because this is a dream world.

‘The reason such a high-ranking demon can descend is because this is a dream. There must be an opening for him to exploit.’

While he was thinking, the eyes of the Fourth Realm Demon looked at Chris and said something unexpected.

[… I am greedy… I am a soul.]

“!!”

[Won’t you give me your soul?]

The demon who summoned the demons of the Fourth Realm shouted in surprise.

[Oh, great one! But that guy…?!]

But the devil could not continue speaking.

The ‘eyes’ were turned towards the devil.

[It’s… noisy.]

[Oh, my lord?]

and.

Something terrible happened.

Oh my.

A large hand appeared, tearing through the darkness and crushing the demon.

As if squashing a bug.

[Kuaaaaah!! Please, forgive me…!! Now, have mercy…!! Kuaaaaaaaah!!!]

A stick.

The demon’s soul, pressed into his hand, was crushed like mud in a press.

The terrible thing is that the process was extremely slow.

As if they were deliberately trying to inflict extreme pain.

I’m sure it’s not a mistake.

Because this is the nature of the devil.

Eventually, the demon was completely destroyed.

Even after destroying the servants who followed him, he looked at Chris with an expressionless look in his eyes and spoke.

[… I… like you. Give me… your soul.]

“…….”

Chris frowned.

‘Nothing to say.’

Of course I had no intention of following it.

‘There must be a way.’

But then something unexpected happened again.

[Just… a position in the Fourth Realm… who dares… to set their eyes on it?]

Chris opened his eyes wide.

It was a familiar voice.

‘Mepina!’

The appearance was not revealed.

However, an enormous energy that was no less powerful than the energy of the ‘pupils’ descended into the dream world.

However, unlike the energy in the eyes, it did not exert pressure on Reese’s soul.

As if he was being considerate of Chris.

[That human must know that I have already taken over.]

Perhaps shaken by the unexpected appearance, the darkness around his eyes rippled.

but.

[I don’t care about… you….]

[!!]

[On the topic of… a… fallen… mutant… .]

It was a sentence with a lot of meaning.

‘… Mephina is a being of a higher rank than those eyes?’

I had guessed that Mephina’s original rank would be high.

But would it be possible that even the demons of the Four Realms looked down on him?

‘It may be the highest rank among the four realms, or it may even be the rank of the third realm.’

What you should listen for more is the term ‘fallen mutant’.

That may be the reason why Mephina fell to the 7th realm, not her original hierarchy.

For now, I decided to remember it since it wasn’t important.

Mephina and Nundong growled at each other with Chris between them.

[… I will warn you… to… step back immediately.]

[How… funny. I’m the one… warning you. If you don’t want to… end up in an even more miserable… situation… go back to the bottom of the… Seventh Realm.]

The dream world shook as if it was going to shatter due to the confrontation between the two transcendent levels.

At that moment, a voice came into Chris’ mind.

It was a voice sent separately by Mephina.

[Become my… servant.]

‘What? Another nonsense… .’

[I’m just saying… No. In my current state… I can’t handle that guy… .]

Mephina continued speaking.

[There is only one way… If you become my subordinate… If you obtain the law of causality… Then you will be able to stop that guy… .]

“…….”

[I won’t ask you to… sacrifice your soul. Just… swearing to become my subordinate is enough… .]

Chris furrowed his brows.

I couldn’t tell if it was really right for me to make such a suggestion.

‘No, that wouldn’t be the case. That eye monster and Mephisto are all the same devils.’

You must not be mistaken.

She pretends to stand up for Chris, but in the end, what Mephina wants is Chris’s soul.

He says there is no need to sacrifice his soul now, but once he becomes a member, he may try to do something.

[I know you don’t trust me. But… there is no other way. Come join me… .]

“shut up.”

[In this… situation… are you trying to be so reckless and stubborn? How foolish… .]

“No, not at all.”

Chris answered shortly.

“I don’t need your help. I’ll take care of that eyeball on my own.”

[What… ridiculous stubbornness…!]

Mephina raised her voice.

But Chris was sincere.

The method came to me while I was talking to Mephina.

‘You don’t necessarily have to fight those eyeballs directly.’

We must not forget that this is a dream world.

If it weren’t for the dream, such a great figure would never have descended.

So the answer was also in the ‘dream’.

‘Since that little bastard with big eyes won’t be able to move easily because of Mephina’s restraint anyway, I can definitely try.’

Mephina asked.

[You… what are you… trying to do?]

Chris didn’t answer.

Instead, he showed it through his actions.

He spoke a word into the air.

“Hey. Can you hear me?”

It wasn’t something I said to Mephina and Nundong.

“I don’t know your name. Anyway, you’re all watching, right? Could you show yourself for a moment?”

After a moment of silence.

Something amazing happened.

A figure appeared from the darkness.

She was a girl with an innocent look that did not fit the current situation at all.

Although it was his first time seeing her face, Chris recognized who the girl was.

Chris said to the girl.

“What is your name?”

“…Patera.”

Yes, that’s right.

What Chris called was the spirit of Patera, the master of this dream!

The girl’s appearance was that of Patera when she was originally a normal human.

‘How could you make such a child suffer such a terrible fate?’

Chris bit his lip as his anger surged up again at the horrible antics of the mysterious Maga bastards.

“No, what I asked was your real name.”

“…Why is my name?”

The girl asked back with fearful eyes.

“Because I want to save you.”

“me…?”

“Don’t you want to get out of this horrible hell now?”

The girl’s eyes widened.

“Take off… can you come out?”

“huh.”

“lie.”

“Really. You can do it. Give me your all.”

“All of me…?”

“Yes. Give me everything you have, including your soul. Then I will save you from this hell.”

The girl made a wary face.

A girl who was subjected to horrific human experiments at Mystery Maga.

So, it was impossible for him not to know how dangerous it was to sacrifice everything he had, including his soul.

but.

Chris’s eyes turned straight to the girl.

“Trust me.”

“!!”

“I swear, I will definitely get you out of this horrible hell.”

Did you feel the sincerity in Chris’s heart?

Tears began to fall from the girl’s eyes, drop by drop.

The girl reached out to Chris.

“…I, I’ll give my all… P, please… save me.”

Chris took her hand.

“What is your name?”

“Emily.”

“Yes, Emily.”

Chris nodded.

His eyes sank low, and before he was aware of it, a black moon-shaped pattern appeared on his temple.

A pattern that was engraved on his soul when he ascended to the level of a half-demon.

A soul-stirring tone leaked out of Chris’s mouth.

“I, Chris, will take everything from you and grant you whatever you wish.”

At that same time, a miracle happened.

After the descent of the eye, the darkness that had filled the whole place began to crack apart.

And then a ray of light shone down.

From that point on, light began to spread as if to drive away the darkness, and the snow-covered mountains that had been the original scenery began to come into view again.

[what?]

[how?]

Mephina and her pupils let out a surprised voice.

It wasn’t just the background that changed.

Now Chris has taken control of the dream world from the devil!

‘Since the owner of the dream has decided to give everything to me, it is only natural that this dream becomes mine as well.’

Chris raised the corners of his mouth and spoke to Eyeball, Mephina, and the two demons.

It didn’t matter anymore whether the opponent was a great figure from the Four Realms or not.

“Get out of my dreams, you disgusting insects.”

[!!]

With that declaration, something amazing happened.

The world became distorted and the two demons, Eyeball and Mephina, began to be forcibly expelled.

[this guy…!!]

The pupils cried out in anger, but it was no use.

This dream is already completely Chris’s.

The force was applied and the existence of the pupils was erased as if with an eraser. Not even a trace was left.

It was a sight that seemed unbelievable.

“It’s your turn next.”

Chris spoke to Mephina.

[You…]

However, Mephina showed a somewhat different reaction from her pupils.

[… You… really… always exceed my expectations.]

Instead of getting angry, he sounded amazed.

But Chris looked unimpressed.

I didn’t want to hear the devil’s praise.

‘In the end, it’s my soul that is being coveted.’

Mephina tried to say something more, but Chris coldly cut her off.

“I don’t want to hear it, so stop talking and get out of here too.”

At the same time, Mephina’s traces disappeared as if washed away.

The son-in-law sank into silence.

‘Phew.’

Chris sighed.

I barely managed to escape the crisis.

It’s really all over now.

‘No, it’s not over.’

Chris looked away.

Patera, Emily appeared.

“…Can you really… save me?”

Emily said in a trembling voice.

“Yes, it is possible. With my power, I can release all the bonds engraved on your soul.”

“ah…!!”

It was none other than the mysterious magic of Maga that was binding Emily’s mind, so it wouldn’t have been easy even for Chris.

But now that Emily had given her all to Chris, she could do it.

However, there was one problem.

“Do you know what will become of you?”

Emily paused.

She nodded heavily.

“…Yes, I will die.”

Her body is already in a state of ruin.

In fact, it was difficult to even say that he was alive.

If the magic of the mysterious Maga is broken, you will die immediately.

But the girl said calmly.

“…Even if I live, I’ll just be tormented by those demons again. Now…I just want to be at ease.”

Tears flowed from the girl’s eyes.

Chris sighed softly.

“Okay. Is there anything you’d like to ask for as a final favor?”

“…What do you want?”

“Okay. If there’s anything you want, I’ll give you a gift.”

The girl hesitated and then spoke hesitantly.

“…I want to see my parents one last time.”

It was an impossible request.

Chris, who had scanned her mind, already knew that her parents had died at the hands of the mysterious Maga.

But Katabuta nodded silently.

“I will grant your wish.”

Pfft!

Chris’s hands were dyed in darkness.

“May it bring comfort to your soul, even if only for a moment.”

A vision began to appear in the girl’s eyes.

A fantasy that Chris puts all his talents into.

Indistinguishable from reality.

It was a fantasy that was not a fantasy, but a fantasy that seemed real.

Snow falling lightly.

A chimney with smoke rising in puffs.

Tears streamed down from the girl’s eyes.

I saw the faces of families I had separated from long ago.

The family hugged the girl.

Hug, warmly.

Chris had a bitter expression on his face as he watched the girl reunite with her family, even if only in a dreamlike fantasy.

‘Those damn mysterious Maga bastards.’
