I Became the Genius Bastard of a Noble Dark Clan – 169

Chapter 169

Episode 169

They kidnapped an ordinary girl who was living happily in the mountains and turned her into this horrible thing.

It’s not just that girl.

During the Age of Destruction, Chris had seen similar sights countless times.

If we leave them alone, countless more people will fall into hellish suffering.

The reason Chris is struggling like this now.

What Chris wanted was his own wealth and honor.

But still.

No matter how selfish he was, he couldn’t allow the hell he had seen in his previous life to unfold again.

‘We must stop it.’

Of course, that’s not the end.

Chris is selfish and doesn’t feel motivated when he thinks he’s only looking out for others.

‘Whether it’s the Demon King of Blood or the mysterious Maga, I’ll destroy them all and make you enjoy the greatest wealth and honor in the world!’

With that pledge.

The girl, the restraints that had bound Patera’s spirit were released, and the dream world collapsed.

* * *

Christian’s performance didn’t stop at catching Patera.

‘Since Patera doesn’t move alone, he must have a priest accompanying him.’

He gave the task of capturing the priest to Merlin.

Of course, it wasn’t easy since they were completely hidden, but Chris gave Melin the tools to catch them.

The Jewel of Chasing the Devil.

You can ward off evil spirits with this treasure artifact from the Holy Empire.

‘Of course, it’s not like you can find the one who usually hides the devil’s aftertaste.’

It was possible to detect when someone within a certain range used demonic powers.

When you give orders to Patera, you borrow the devil’s energy, so you get caught.

‘Since the high priest of the Mysterious Mark wouldn’t have intervened in such a matter, I’m sure he can be caught.’

Of course, the common priest was not an easy opponent, but the other 5-star mines of the Dark Army were able to defeat him by joining forces with their soldiers.

Thanks to this, we were able to secure evidence that this incident was the work of the mysterious Maga, and Chris immediately made a big deal out of it.

At the same time as reporting the incident to the ‘Central’, he spread the rumor that Mysterious Maga had joined hands with the devil!

The entire Magic Empire was turned upside down.

“The mysterious Maga joined hands with the devil?”

“No way! Then why has Mysterious Maga shown such great strength up until now?”

“Isn’t that bad news?”

“No. They say that the Dark Maga submitted evidence to His Majesty the Central Demon Emperor. That the Mysterious Maga summoned the power of the devil and attacked them.”

Of course, the Magic Empire does not legally prohibit contracts with demons.

Chris did not report this to the center because he wanted the center to punish the mysterious Mark.

Anyway, the central government doesn’t care what happens in the provincial government.

Chris’s intended purpose was different.

By making this public, we hope to let the people of the Magic Empire know the true nature of the mysterious Maga.

To make the people of Minds alert to the mysterious Maga.

That alone was a great achievement.

In the future, the mysterious Maga guys plan to do many tricks to the Magic Empire. However, if they receive a wary look, their movements will inevitably be restricted.

Besides restraining the mysterious Maga, it also had other effects.

Christian’s name began to resonate throughout the Magic Empire.

“But the power of the devil was unleashed, so how did Dark Maga block it without taking any damage?”

“They say it’s all thanks to the Confucius named Christian.”

“Who are you? It’s my first time hearing that name.”

“Why, isn’t it? You earned merit in the last Gold Cross.”

He’s been doing a lot of things lately, but still not many people know about Christian.

At best, only those around the Dark Magic or the Four Kings knew about it.

But this incident brought Christian’s name to the attention of many people.

However, not everyone received it well.

“That’s ridiculous. Prince Naburangi, who had just become a five-star, stopped the power of the devil?”

“Is that guy even a high-ranking official?”

Five new stars.

Or Soma (小魔).

It refers to those who are in the successor position and have power that is no less than that of the existing strongmen.

For reference, Idrine, the Archduchess of Blood Sword Maga, was also one of the five saints.

“The Dark Magicians must have been in a hurry. They were talking such nonsense.”

“Since there is no worthy successor, they must be spreading such nonsense.”

“You have the name of a prestigious magic family, but the most outstanding successor is now only a 5-star. You should know shame.”

In fact, it wasn’t just yesterday or today that other noble families’ minions were mocking the Dark Maga.

Of course, the power of the Dark Maga is not weak. When considering the family’s overall power, it is not far behind other prestigious families.

But the direct lineage was the problem.

There were too few top mines.

Excluding Norse, there were only two mines with 7 stars or higher.

It was at least too little compared to other prestigious families.

Even the Marquis of Langham, who should have inherited the family title long ago, was not yet in the 8th sect and was thus unable to inherit, which was laughable.

The successors’ achievements were also disappointing.

Ashed’s original achievement, which was praised as the most talented, was a 4-star award.

It would be something that other families would laugh at.

Why is a prestigious family called a prestigious family?

They are from a prestigious family because they were born with a bloodline that was overwhelmingly superior to that of others.

Other prestigious families had many ‘real’ geniuses.

Needless to say, those who were aiming to become the next head of each family had at least a 6-star achievement.

“The dark magic has already set in.”

“If the Demon Lord Nordian dies, there will be complete downfall.”

It was when the mines were laughing like that.

Dark Maga has announced new news.

The plan was to appoint Christian, who had contributed to this incident, as the official Archduke.

It was the moment when Christian was recognized as the next head of the Dark Maga.

* * *

Christian’s accession to the throne was a natural thing.

Because he achieved the feat of stopping the mysterious Maga monster without any sacrifice.

It also raised the level of Marquis Shupen.

I also found out about the mysterious Maga’s conspiracy.

We also came up with a plan.

He also neutralized the monster through an unbelievable miracle.

It was all Christian’s doing.

If it weren’t for Christian, the Dark Lords might have suffered some damage. In the worst case scenario, Marquis Shupen might have died.

It was enough to gain the approval of Marquis Schuppen.

“Can you do it?”

Marquis Schuppen spoke to Chris before stamping the letter acknowledging his passing the succession exam.

Chris chuckled.

“Haven’t you seen for yourself what kind of person I am?”

Marquis Schuppen sighed.

“To be honest, I was going to fail you in the succession exam. Do you know why?”

It’s not because of ill feelings.

Quite the opposite.

Now that he’s the Archduke, Chris will be facing all kinds of challenges.

You will face hardships that are incomparable to those you have experienced so far.

Marquis Schuppen was worried that Christian might be swayed by the harsh wind.

but.

“Don’t worry. I’ll break down anyone who gets in my way and move forward.”

“!!”

“If there is anyone who tries to harm Dark Maga, I will show them an example. As befitting the name of the Grand Duke of Dark Maga.”

Marquis Schuppen’s eyes wavered.

Christian’s face appeared, brimming with confidence.

Marquis Schuppen now knows too.

That seemingly vain confidence is by no means empty boasting.

As I demonstrated to Marquis Schuppen himself.

It was clear that Chris would perform many more miracles in the future.

“Promise me one thing. Never, ever break.”

Boom!

Marquis Schuppen stamped his seal on the letter to be sent to his hometown.

#//Letter//[I, Marquis Schuppen, acknowledge Prince Christian as the next master of the Dark Maga and swear allegiance to him.]

It was a declaration announcing the end of the succession test.

The Dark Maga’s men rejoiced at Christian’s inauguration as Archduke with a holy fire like a blazing fire.

To the Dark Maga Mines, Christian was already little more than a minor hero.

However, becoming the Archduke did not completely end the succession dispute.

Because there are still competitors.

Yurian, who has the support of Marquis Langham, may cause some change.

Some people even expressed this concern:

‘The Marquis of Langham may personally take action against Prince Christian.’

The Marquis of Langham is not giving up his position as head of the household.

In that situation, Christian became the archduke with the next right of succession.

In order for the Marquis of Langham to become the head of the household, he must first eliminate Christian.

Of course, if the Norse were solid, this problem would not arise.

But everyone who knows knows.

The Norse’s time is running out.

‘I wonder what will happen in the future.’

In this way, a sharp tension began to flow through the Dark Maga.

There were also places that reacted sensitively to the news of Christian’s inauguration as prince.

Unexpected ones.

Destruction Mark.

Extremely poisonous.

And he was the Demon King of Cheongryu.

* * *

West of the Southern Magic Kingdom.

There was a large castle located in the high mountain range.

The castle of the Archduke of Beth-en, the city of destruction.

As expected from the strongest family in the Southern Magic Kingdom, their powerful presence could be felt even from afar.

The discipline of the minions standing guard on the walls was strict, and the spirit of the black magicians who had mastered unique destruction magic was extremely fierce.

But the atmosphere in the castle was strange.

A feeling of something sinking.

To be exact, all of the mines were on edge.

It was because the castle owner was in a bad mood.

Prince Louis of Besenne.

The 8th-rank mine, an absolute powerhouse comparable to Nordian, spoke in a very subdued voice.

“That bastard Christian has become the Archduke of the Dark Maga?”

“…Yes, my lord.”

It was unexpected.

The head of the Destruction Maga family is interested in this matter?

The Destruction Maga was a powerful family in every way, incomparable to the Dark Maga.

The number of top mines, the family’s power, etc.

Because it is a powerful family that ranks in the top 5 among the prestigious families in the entire Magic Empire.

Even if Christian has made a name for himself recently, why would the high-ranking Duke of Bethune be interested in him?

There was a reason.

“He killed Isaac.”

It refers to the third son of the Dark Maga who was killed by Christian long ago.

Mysak’s mother, Jeokseolhwa Precia, was the daughter of the Grand Duke of Bethen.

That is, Maysak was the grandson of Grand Duke Bethen.

‘It’s not like I felt any kinship towards that worthless guy.’

Maysak was an important vassal of the Grand Duke of Beth-Ewen.

To put the Dark Maga under your feet in the future.

In the first place, the reason why Grand Duke Bethen married his daughter, Fresia, to Dark Maga was because he hoped that the bloodline she gave birth to would become the master of Dark Maga.

Of course, Isaac’s qualifications were far from adequate to become the Grand Duke of Dark Maga.

But it didn’t matter.

Because behind Isaac there was a destroyer named Mark.

‘Until now, the Nordian, that gaunt old man, has been alive and well, exerting his influence over the Dark Maga, but that won’t be long.’

With the Nordians gone, who among the Dark Magi would dare defy the might of the Destruction Magi?
