I Became the Genius Bastard of a Noble Dark Clan – 34

Chapter 34

Episode 34

“This is difficult.”

Simon looked anxious, unlike his usual easygoing self.

‘Even if you use the bloodletting technique to the limit, it will take at least 5 minutes to move.’

5 minutes.

It won’t be long, but will Christian last until then?

Considering the difference in power, it would have been enough time for the demon to cut Christian’s neck ten times.

‘Please, just stay alive.’

Even though Simon was Nordian’s confidant, it was difficult to kill the Dark Maga’s bloodline.

Simon activated his bloodletting technique, hoping that the reckless young master would perform a miracle and survive without dying at the hands of the demons.

His body turned into a bloody mist and disappeared.

* ? ?* ? ?*

[Holy Sword? Good idea, but I thought about it wrong.]

The demon laughed leisurely.

[A holy sword that is not imbued with the mana of brilliance can never inflict fatal damage on our evil beings.]

The Holy Sword exerts lethal power against the evil beings of Gehenna.

However, a holy sword without the ‘Mana of Glory’ was only half-baked, as the demons said.

The energy of nature transformed into the power of darkness is called magic, and the energy transformed into the power of light is called mana.

Magi and mana are divided into several attributes, and the mana of brilliance is the highest level of mana among all attributes.

The power of the warrior.

The Holy Sword only reveals its true power when combined with the Mana of its brilliance.

“Yes, even if it’s a holy sword, it won’t be able to defeat you without the Mana of Radiance.”

Chris agreed with the demon’s words.

but.

“Why do you think I can’t use the Mana of Radiance?”

[…what?]

Chris looked inward for a moment.

Below the navel, I looked into the mana hole.

His mana hole is double-layered.

It was a form where the outer ‘magic’ surrounded the inner ‘mana’, just like an outer core and an inner core.

Moved the ‘Mana’ located deep inside.

‘It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this way.’

Unlike the rough and violent magic, pure and clear mana energy spread throughout the body.

Chris’s mood changed as if he had changed clothes.

Chris took a step forward, feeling refreshed.

[Wh, what the…?! This is ridiculous…?!]

The demons cried out in shock when they realized what had happened to Chris.

[Why do you, a mine, have the mana of brilliance?!]

“Because I’m a genius.”

Chris laughed bitterly.

The broken holy sword began to cry quietly.

Gooooo.

A sword sound like a shout of joy.

The brilliant light that forms on the holy sword.

The power of the constellations embedded in the Holy Sword was manifested through the Mana of Radiance.

It was the ‘Shine Blade’.

‘Once in a while.’

Chris held back the blood that flowed from his mouth.

With his power, it was still difficult to manifest the blessings of the constellations contained in the Holy Sword.

I forced myself as hard as I could and only did it once.

I felt dizzy from the display of excessive force that exceeded the capacity of the vessel, but I barely held it together.

It was only one chance, but it was enough.

[Ugh… Ma, that’s ridiculous…]

The demons retreated in fear.

I had a gut feeling.

The moment I am hit by that power, what will happen to me?

“You promised not to avoid it, right?”

Chris took up the sword.

Slowly. I took a step forward.

Every time he stepped forward, surprisingly, the demons stepped back.

An unbelievable scene.

It was no use.

A promise made to a demon or a devil, with one’s soul at stake, has absolute binding force.

There was no way to counterattack or evade.

Chris narrowed his eyes.

Right foot back.

The left foot was extended forward and a single stance was taken.

A single ray of caustic energy ran from his sword to the demon.

I moved the holy sword along that line.

It wasn’t Dark Maga’s swordsmanship.

A secret weapon used by warriors.

A swordsmanship that has been passed down only to the direct descendants of the ‘master swordsmanship family’.

A flash in the sea of death.

A ray of light splitting the dead sea.

The blood inside me surged again at the display of swordsmanship that surpassed the limits of my ability, but I held back and swung my sword.

A magnificent beam of sword light rushed into the demon’s chest.

The brilliant light pierced through the evil.

Phaaaaaaah.

A radiance burst out from within the demon’s body.

The amount of light was not much because of the lack of strength. It was just enough to not leak out of the demon’s body.

But it was brighter than any light.

Enough to wipe out even the lower-level demons.

[This… uh… how… .]

The demon raised his trembling hands.

That was the last one.

It started to turn into powder from the tip of my finger and started to scatter, then disappeared in an instant.

It has been destroyed.

“Ugh!”

Chris vomited blood.

My physical condition was a mess.

‘Fortunately, it worked. It was half a gamble.’

As a union, his skill is 3 stars.

It was difficult to use the Shine Blade or the Sahae Ilseom, a high-level sword technique from a renowned swordsmanship school, but I was barely able to succeed.

‘It’s hard.’

Chris’s vision began to blur.

I was losing consciousness due to the influence of the instrument I received from the demon tribe and the excessive use of force.

‘I guess I can sleep a little.’

I felt a presence approaching quickly from afar.

It wasn’t a small amount.

It seemed like he noticed the trouble and was coming to help.

It was a moment when I was about to close my eyes in peace.

Suddenly, Chris felt goosebumps all over his body.

‘Someone’ was watching him.

Beyond the gap of Gehenna.

I couldn’t see it, but I could definitely feel it.

That a being far beyond comparison to the demon tribe was watching him.

[Interesting… how interesting.]

“!!”

Chris’s fingertips trembled.

It wasn’t his will.

The body reacts reflexively.

A deep, deep malice that stabs at the skin.

No, this malice was so pure that it was not malice at all.

It was just like a law that formed one axis of the world.

[My name is Mephina. I am the first seat of the seventh realm of Gehenna.]

A damp whisper was heard in my fading consciousness.

[From now on… I will watch over you.]

A voice that is so captivating and seductive that it feels like you’re sinking into a swamp.

[Look forward to it.]

* ? ?* ? ?*

The events of that day caused a great stir in the Tyramine Counts’ household.

Karazov’s Riot!

The appearance of the demon tribe followed!

It was an unexpected accident for both of them.

This was an incident where all the young minions who had participated in the Ebony Ritual would have been annihilated.

But there wasn’t a single death.

It was all thanks to Chris.

The Tyramine Counts’ men were criticized as being scoundrels.

“Is Master Christian still here?”

“Yeah, I heard he’s still unconscious.”

“…I’m worried.”

“…okay.”

The Tyramine Counts’ men spoke heavily.

“If it weren’t for Master Christian, we would all have been killed by Karazov?”

“Karazov is not the problem. Master Christian also fought against the demons. He tried to protect us.”

I don’t know how Christian faced the demons.

By the time they arrived, the demons had already disappeared.

Probably a reverse summons.

It was assumed that he had returned to Gehenna.

Because originally, the demons were restricted over time and had to return to Gehenna.

Anyway, if Christian hadn’t fought the demons, everyone there would have died then.

Christian was the benefactor of the Counts of Tyramine.

The faces of the Tyramine Counts’ men grew heavy as they remembered how they had ignored Christian.

* ? ?* ? ?*

After a while.

Chris opened his eyes blankly.

It was a bed in a mansion.

‘Where is this? Is this Count Tyramine’s house?’

It seemed like that.

The Tyramine Counts’ coat of arms was painted inside the room.

It felt like I was carried in while I was unconscious.

‘My head hurts a little from the effects of the instrument, but I’m in good health. Ebony is safe, too.’

Chris quickly checked his own condition and sighed in relief.

It ended well for an unexpected encounter with the Demons.

‘By the way, Mephinara. I’ve been receiving unnecessary attention.’

The devil’s attention.

In fact, it wasn’t uncommon.

Mines or allied figures who quickly rise to prominence often attract the attention of demons and constellations.

Then, if you become a ‘contractor’, you will be blessed and be able to grow quickly, but this was not the case for Chris.

‘Because I will never make a deal with the devil.’

I had no intention of associating with the devil out of personal belief.

Above all, Chris didn’t particularly need the devil’s blessing.

‘Only losers get that kind of treatment.’

Even without receiving anything like that, he was confident that he could reach the top of the Magic Empire with his own talent.

‘Well, I guess it’s nothing to worry about. It’s not like the devil can directly influence me.’

At best, the devil and the constellations could only entice them to make a contract with them or give them blessings.

‘If it’s a demon from the 7th realm, it’s not even a high-level demon.’

Chris passed off the devil’s work as nothing big.

‘But no one is coming? I’m hungry. How do I call the servant?’

Finally, the door opened.

He was not a servant.

A giant as big as a mountain.

On the other hand, he gives off an impression of being a bit of a jerk.

It was Count Tyramine!

Chris lifted himself from the bed, slightly startled.

“Meet the Count.”

“No, it’s okay. Just lie down.”

Count Tyramine pressed Chris’ shoulder with his lid-like hand and made him lie back down on the bed.

Then he looked down at Chris with his big tiger-like eyes.

“??”

The moment Chris looks at her with a puzzled look.

Count Tyramine did something unexpected.

I bowed my head to Chris!

“thanks.”

“!!”

“I heard the story. You saved Alos and the minions of our Tyramine Count family. I owe you a great favor.”

Count Tyramine apologized and thanked him at the same time.

“We persecuted you, but you helped us instead. I am truly ashamed and grateful.”

Chris made an awkward face inwardly.

‘It was actually my own plan that saved me from Karazov.’

Well, I guess I don’t need to tell you the truth.

In times like this, all you had to do was take advantage of it.

“Don’t worry. I just did what was expected.”

“Is that a natural thing?”

“Yes, we are one family. It is only natural that we should help each other in times of crisis.”

Count Tyramine looked as if he had been hit.

“Family? Yeah, I guess so. We are family.”

Although they were distantly related, the Counts of Qajar and Tyramine were of the same blood.

Count Tyramine felt even more ashamed.

‘I was so petty towards this kid.’

“Is there anything you wish for? If there is something you wish for, I will do whatever I can to grant it.”

Chris pondered those words.

‘What kind of compensation would be good?’

Actually, I did think about it.

Right, the meeting place.

Instead of stealing the ebony, I exchanged it for gray, and I thought it would be good to take that gray as compensation as well.

But Chris had another reward in mind.

He stared blankly at Count Tyramine’s face.

He may seem like a narrow-minded person, but seeing him bow his head so honestly made me think that he wasn’t a completely bad person.

Then it would be better to gain other benefits.

Much more important than the meeting.

‘I can always get the meeting later anyway.’

Chris opened his mouth.
