I Became the Genius Bastard of a Noble Dark Clan – 22

Chapter 22

Episode 22

Only Chris can subdue the Holy Sword.

That was true.

‘Even the Demon King would find it impossible. Given the blind spot of the Holy Sword.’

Surrender.

Actually, it wasn’t.

The reason Chris could handle the Holy Sword, or rather, the reason he could hold it without any particular problems, was because he exploited a weak point in the principle that caused the Holy Sword to reject magic.

That is, a shortcut.

‘Rather than subduing them, they are slowly dealing with them through tricks.’

Anyway, it didn’t matter.

Whether it was surrender or a trick, the important thing is that he has the Holy Sword in his hand.

“That’s amazing. You’ve subdued the Holy Sword. But did you actually subdue it?”

Merlin, standing in the training ground, said.

“Not completely. Maybe half…?”

In fact, I was dealing with him in a way that was not even half-hearted, but bowing down and looking at his every move, but I said it confidently.

“If you respect me, you can just be loyal to me.”

Merlin smiled.

“Anyway, you’re fun, Master. It’s enjoyable.”

With that being said,

Pfft!

Merlin rushed in.

fast.

The speed is incomparable to when I used 1-star magic the other day.

‘I can’t keep up with the speed.’

Chris admitted.

The gap in skill, or more precisely, the gap in ‘weight class’, was too big.

Neither the physical ability to handle it nor the magic could be compared.

But it didn’t matter.

Why did he go through all the trouble to obtain the Holy Sword?

‘Up. Slash down!’

We can’t keep up with the pace, but we can predict it.

Then you can react even at a slow speed.

Even if it reacted, it would be meaningless if it was shattered by overwhelming force, but what Chris was holding in his hand was the Holy Sword.

The natural weapon of Magi.

Kyaang!

The sword Merlin brought down clashed with the broken holy sword.

The magic engulfed in Merlin’s sword was dissipated by the neutralizing effect of the holy sword. It’s the same principle as when fire and water meet, both evaporate.

Only then did Merlin realize why Chris had said that earlier.

– A good weapon can reduce the power gap.

Chris brought the holy sword as a means to deal with Merlin’s magic!

No matter how great his talents are, he has no chance of winning if he is pushed by strong magic.

‘So you’re saying that if you can stop Magic, you can face me?’

Merlin chuckled.

Magi was just one of her many powers.

The true power of the man who used Matou as his long-term weapon was his martial arts skills that he had trained to the limit.

Merlin started to really push Chris.

Her specialty, a fierce sword strike, fell on Chris.

Bam! Bang!

Chris was pushed back.

Of course, he looked like he was no match for me.

Although he looked like he would kneel at any moment, Merlin’s expression became more and more mysterious as time passed.

‘Are you blocking my attacks? All of them?’

Although his shortcomings were obvious, he still did not allow a single valid hit.

Merlin soon realized why.

‘He’s reading my attacks. And in advance.’

beforehand.

That was important.

Before she could even reach out, Chris was already moving, as if he had a glimpse of what kind of attack she was going to make.

At first I thought it was a coincidence.

No it wasn’t.

If it were a coincidence, wouldn’t the same thing happen again like this?

‘How on earth?’

Merlin made an incomprehensible expression.

Of course, it is not impossible to predict your opponent’s movements.

As your level increases and your understanding of martial arts increases, you will be able to read the other person’s actions more naturally.

Even when dealing with a low-level opponent, Merlin’s next move was obvious.

But isn’t that the case for Chris?

In fact, Chris’s ability to predict his opponent’s moves was entirely different.

‘I have a pretty good eye for detail, you know.’

There is something in common in swordsmanship movements.

For example, in order to take an action, there is a posture that must be taken unconditionally.

As if you have to raise your hand to get down.

And before that posture, there was another action that had to be taken.

Because to raise your hand, you have to move the muscles in your shoulder and upper arm.

This was something that everyone had in common, regardless of whether they were experts or beginners.

And Chris has a high level of understanding of human movement through the vast amount of knowledge he has acquired in the past, and with his outstanding eye, he is able to catch such subtle movements and predict the next move.

Meanwhile, those watching the duel between the two kept their mouths shut.

I’m surprised.

“…What do you think, Sister? Wasn’t what I said right?”

“…….”

“He is my son, but he is truly a genius.”

“…Are you saying that?”

“yes?”

Count Kazar frowned.

Originally, Marian didn’t like Christian because of all the shit he’d done.

But isn’t it true that it’s excellent?

Who could look like that?

There is no one among the princes of the main family who can block the sword of a 4-star mine with just 1-star.

“At that level, it’s better than when my older sister was young….”

“That’s not all, you idiot!”

“…What did you say?”

“Can’t you see it now? Christian, how that kid is moving his magic!”

As Marian raised her voice, Count Kazar’s eyes widened.

Only then did I see it.

That Christian’s magic moves strangely.

The flow was not natural, and the magic in the core was showing strange shaking.

“why…?”

Count Kazar frowned in confusion.

The son he knew was so good that it was hard to believe he was only a 1-star magician.

During training, it showed stable operation without any shaking?

‘Is there a problem with Christian’s core?’

But that didn’t seem to be the case either.

Count Kazar noticed that Chris was moving the magic in that way on purpose.

But why?

Wouldn’t that be the same as fighting while performing acrobatics with magic?

“I don’t know why you do that.”

“…Ha, you don’t know? Well, you don’t know.”

“Sister?”

“They are intentionally making those magical movements to avoid the Holy Sword’s rejection reaction!”

“!!”

Marian kept her mouth shut.

‘Crazy, is there really a human being capable of such a thing?’

She is the daughter of the Demon Lord Nordian Duke.

The daughter who is most favored by Nordian among the many siblings.

So, Nogaju was there when he tried to subdue Grunade.

– I won’t do it.

– Is it not possible for you to do it too, Lord?

– No, it’s not that I can’t do it, I just don’t do it. It’s dirty and deadly.

Nogaju grumbled as he looked at the broken holy sword.

– It is possible. If you have a crazy sense for magic operation.

– Hasn’t your father’s magical power reached its peak?

– It is not simply about achieving greatness. It is an innate sense that allows you to control magic as naturally as breathing. In addition, it is also possible to have two brains in your head.

– ??

Noh Ga-ju explained each and every one.

– What is Magi?

– It changed the energy into the energy of darkness. Mana changed the energy into the energy of light.

– Then what is darkness? And what is light?

– … … .

Marian had a hard time answering.

What I knew, but also did not know, was ‘darkness’ and ‘light’. It was that difficult of a problem.

– Even you, a high-ranking mine, cannot easily answer this question. Then how can this rascal, the Holy Sword, distinguish between darkness and light? It is nothing more than an inanimate object.

– … … .

– It’s a characteristic. Magi has its own characteristics that are different from Mana. The Holy Sword uses various magical methods to capture those characteristics. Usually, it captures them by comparing the wavelengths. Magi and Mana have fundamentally different wavelengths.

Nogaju flicked Grunade with his fingers.

Surprisingly, the Holy Sword did not react even though my hand made contact with it.

– But this guy is broken, so some of the parts that can feel those waves are gone.

– then?

– It is possible to deceive this guy by operating magic at a wavelength that this guy cannot sense. Perhaps the fallen warrior was able to use this guy because the wavelengths matched.

Nogaju continued to flick the holy sword as if he was playing a joke.

The Holy Sword continued to not respond.

– Then isn’t it something that even your father can handle? Twisting the waves of magic is not even a problem for your father.

– Are you talking about fighting in real combat?

– … … .

Marian couldn’t answer.

Nogaju flicked the holy sword hard as if he was annoyed.

Jiying. The holy sword shook as if in pain.

– It might work for a little while. But as you know, the wavelength of the magic changes continuously every time it moves. That means that every time you move the magic, it has to change into a wavelength that this thing can’t sense.

– … That seems impossible.

– Yes. If there is someone who can do that, it would be someone who can control magic as if they were breathing from birth.

Nogaju continued speaking.

– Also, that’s not the end. You have to be able to use your magic like acrobatics while fighting. If you make a mistake even once, you’ll be possessed by the magic. It’s not something that humans can do.

Noh Ga-ju added a word.

– That guy would be a crazy monster with two brains and a natural sense of touch, who could manipulate magic more easily than breathing. Such a person probably doesn’t exist in the world. That Gehenna demon or… maybe a demon dragon.

A person like that doesn’t exist in the world.

Marian agreed with that.

Changing the wavelength of magic was a matter of innate sense.

It was possible only when one was born with the ability to move magic naturally, as if breathing.

But even those people could not handle the holy sword.

Because you have to perform this stunt while fighting your opponent.

As Nogaju had said, it was impossible unless the head was split into two, one to use magic and one to fight the opponent.

And then the impossible happened.

‘You’re not even just fighting. You’re fighting while predicting Merlin’s movements and using your magic like that, performing acrobatics?’

It’s shocking just doing one thing, but it’s unbelievable that they’re doing several things at the same time.

“…You are amazing.”

When he was unable to capture Chris, Merlin stepped back slightly and cast dark magic.
