I Became the Genius Bastard of a Noble Dark Clan – 53

Chapter 53

Episode 53

‘It is forbidden to be arrogant.’

Great talent can sometimes be poisonous.

If you are proud, that’s what happens.

Nordian was determined to never let that happen to Christian.

He spoke in a deliberately cold tone.

[I will now begin the full-scale teaching of dark magic. Do not be arrogant, and follow my teachings properly.]

“all right.”

It was finally the long-awaited moment.

Christian concentrated.

[Listen carefully. This is the secret of dark magic.]

Simon, the outsider, disappeared without a trace.

The Norseman spoke the gist.

It’s just a recitation, but it’s a long, drawn-out verse that takes hours.

“Have you memorized it all?”

Did you memorize the complex and difficult rules that combine the flow of magical blood and magical techniques just by hearing them once?

But Christian answered calmly.

“Yes, I memorized it.”

The Norse nodded.

I expected you would memorize it.

Norsemen also memorized the spell at one time when they were children.

however.

Christian asked an unexpected question.

“Excuse me… Can I ask you one thing? I don’t understand some of the content of the decree.”

[Since this is the first time you’ve heard of it, it’s natural that you don’t understand it. You should look into it yourself and ask questions later…]

“No, that’s not it. There are parts of the sermon you told me that don’t match the rest of the story, so I’m trying to check if I misheard the sermon.”

[!!]

The Norseman’s face hardened.

‘How did you know?’

Another one of his bad tastes.

It’s just giving the wrong information about some of the details.

More difficult to learn.

Why would you do such a weird thing?

‘Even if it’s inefficient right now, if you struggle to use dark magic, it will help you build a foundation.’

But after hearing it just once, I noticed that there was something wrong.

It couldn’t have been more creepy.

The Norseman answered in a stiff tone, trying to hide his surprise.

[There are some variations to help you build a solid foundation. The perfect ending will be revealed once your foundation is solidified.]

The Norseman stood up.

[Look.]

I reached out.

A pitch-black magical energy rose from the small hands of the young boy who was the incarnation.

It was a ‘black sword’, a sword made by expelling magic energy from the body.

A power that can be used starting from the 3rd star level.

It was a paltry power for Nordian, an 8-star mine.

However, the black sword used by the Norse was different from that of others.

It wasn’t just that the power of magic was strong.

There was something inexplicable, something that even Chris couldn’t understand.

[This is a single sword that unfolds through dark magic.]

Whew.

It was a light swing.

Not carrying any strong momentum.

In reality, it didn’t have much of an effect.

It just cut the wind.

But still, a chill ran down Chris’ spine.

It was a dizzying shock, as if stars were twinkling.

‘just now.’

A single swing contained countless amounts of darkness.

Red, black, blood, yellow, blue, gray, etc.

The Norse sword was destruction, death, a curse, poison, illusion, and the distant darkness that contained it all.

Dark magic that rules over all darkness.

It was the power of the dark magician who handled the dark magic.

Meanwhile, Nordian was even more surprised when he saw Christian’s surprised face.

‘Huh? You figured this out?’

It appears as much as you originally knew.

How many people in the Dark Maga will be able to recognize the true meaning of the sword that Nordian just unleashed?

The Norsemen vowed again.

‘The normal method won’t work. We’ll need a more difficult map.’

A tower easily built is easily destroyed.

Nordic’s educational philosophy was that one must overcome adversity and grow from the bottom in order to ultimately achieve greatness.

‘First of all, I think it would be best to make them realize the difficulty of dark magic.’

The difficulty of dark magic is beyond imagination, as you have to deal with countless types of darkness as if they were your own attributes.

Usually, the rule is to guide each person individually.

“I’ll give you one month. You can practice the technique on your own based on the demonstration I just showed you. After two weeks, I’ll check to see how much you’ve accomplished.”

And then he disappeared.

It seemed like this wasn’t a normal situation because Marian, who was next to me, looked flustered.

but.

‘This must mean something too.’

Chris thought to himself again.

Although it may seem unfriendly, the Norse would not do this without any intention.

Just like the assignment I gave at the beginning, it was clear that there was some deep hidden meaning behind it.

… that wasn’t the case at all, but Christian misunderstood that Nordian had something else in mind.

‘Let’s try.’

By the way, there was one problem with Norse’s idea.

Up until now, Chris has mostly learned things on his own.

I have rarely received guidance from anyone.

That is, this situation was very familiar.

No, there were many times when I didn’t even know how to properly use the spelling, so now I can say that it’s a very friendly situation.

Chris closed his eyes and contemplated the secret of dark magic.

At the same time, I thought of the sword that Nordian had shown me earlier.

The true darkness that contains all darkness.

Time passed in an instant.

* ? ?* ? ?*

A month has passed.

“It’s time.”

“…Yes, my lord.”

“At this point, you should have realized the difficulty of dark magic.”

“…….”

Marian was silent.

That was certain.

Because dark magic wasn’t something that could be learned without someone’s guidance.

‘But what would that mean?’

Marian thought to herself.

Norse educational philosophy that one must learn through hardship and frustration to achieve great success.

It couldn’t help but be a really old-fashioned way of thinking.

It was clear that Christian would be wasting his time for a month.

“Marian, do you think my methods are not right?”

“…no.”

“Keep on going, no. I can see what he’s thinking. But Christian, this is a necessary process for him.”

The Norse continued his explanation.

“The bastard has absorbed more than 90% of the Holy Darkness. Every time the Holy Realm level increases, you will face a huge wall. So, it is important to build a solid foundation in advance. So that it does not collapse later.”

“…….”

“What’s important to him isn’t speed. What’s important is taking the stairs one step at a time, even if it’s slow.”

Marian said cautiously.

“Christian is taking the Confucius exam. To become a Confucius, he must reach the 3rd level within 3 months.”

“That’s impossible. A 3-star in 3 months? Considering the purity of that bastard’s dark magic, it’s absolutely impossible.”

The Norse answered bluntly.

Christian’s current achievement is a 2-star award.

Even though he was a genius, Nordian guessed that it would take at least two years for him to become a three-star since he had absorbed more than 90% of the darkness.

First of all, what is this Confucius exam?

It was much more important to build a solid foundation than that.

“Let’s go slowly.”

Nordian descended again into the body of a young boy incarnate.

I jumped through space and entered the training ground where Christian was.

[!!]

“!!”

Nordian and Marian couldn’t help but open their eyes wide. They were so shocked that they felt like they were going to burst.

Unthinkable.

It was because I witnessed an unbelievable sight.

Christian was swinging his sword in the air, his sword engulfed in pitch-black magic.

It was ‘Black Sword’.

A power that only 3-star mines can use.

“You… Christian? Right now? Are you at the level of a three-star?”

Marian asked in a tone of astonishment, and Christian turned his head and spoke to Nordian with a bright face.

“Thank you, my lord.”

[…Thank you?]

“Thanks to you, I was able to overcome the three-star wall faster than expected.”

[…what?]

Chris’s voice was one of genuine gratitude.

“Did you deliberately give me the wrong verse to enlighten me?”

[… … .]

The Norse kept his mouth shut.

I couldn’t understand what he was saying.

Christian’s nonsense(?) didn’t stop there.

“It’s not just the sword. It’s the sword that you showed me as an example. Isn’t it the enlightenment that you showed me to reach the 3rd star?”

no.

The demonstration that Nordian showed at that time and the enlightenment of the three-star realm were completely unrelated.

In the first place, what does making a black sword have to do with putting all the attributes of darkness into a single sword?

But Chris continued to babble on and on, something I couldn’t understand at all.

“As the Master said, the three-star wall was extremely high. However, thanks to the teachings the Master gave me, I was able to get over the wall faster than I expected.”

So, what on earth did the Norse teach?

Chris thought back on the past month.

It wasn’t easy at first.

As expected of a top-level magician, it wasn’t easy to learn it on my own.

In particular, the incorrect spelling mixed in here and there hindered learning.

A gesture that seems as if it is trying to trick someone.

But Chris focused on those knots.

‘There’s no way they would have put these knots in without a reason. They must have been put there with the intention of helping me in some way.’

The knots mixed by Nogaju were disrupting the flow of dark magic.

Why would you do something like this?

With what intention?

I remembered the demonstration that Nogaju had shown there.

A sword that contains all the attributes of darkness.

Then the answer(?) started to appear.

‘What’s important is not the efficiency of controlling dark magic. Even if it’s a bit slow, the process of embracing all the attributes of darkness as your own is necessary.’

So, it’s like floating a leaf in a glass while drinking water to prevent it from getting choked.

This is what Nogaju meant when he said that rather than simply rushing to learn how to handle dark magic, he should focus on accepting the darkness itself.

Christian followed Nogaju’s wishes.

Dark magic is ultimately the power to manipulate darkness of various attributes.

I repeated the verses over and over again, concentrating on the meaning of each one.

How many times has this been repeated?

A flash of realization struck my mind.

The idea that all kinds of darkness are falling into one orbit.

Of course, it’s not like I can contain all the darkness in one sword like the Norse.

I just felt a vague feeling.

But at that moment, Chris’s level took a leap forward.

1st stage is the stage where magic is accumulated in the body.

2nd stage is the stage where magic is emitted from the body.

The third stage was the stage of externally categorizing magic.

Therefore, the enlightenment required for each realm was different.

The three-star magic must create a tangible form of the ‘intangible’ energy outside the body.

Something similar to fixing light waves into a solid-like form.

In other words, it is impossible by general principles.

To accomplish this, you must shatter your existing notions about magic, re-establish your perception, and be able to deal with magic from a different perspective.

However, this becomes much more difficult as the purity of the dark magic increases, as pure darkness is that much more difficult to handle.

Ordinary people can succeed in creating a black sword with just a ‘dim’ enlightenment, but if the purity of the dark magic is high, a more perfect re-establishment of perspective is required.

It goes without saying that Chris, who had 100% purity,

However, the moment I gained enlightenment through the clue that Norse had thrown out, my perspective on dealing with magic was completely reestablished.
