I Became the Genius Bastard of a Noble Dark Clan – 73

Chapter 73

Episode 73

About three months later.

When the general election was just around the corner.

Chris opened his eyes with a start.

He blinked for a moment.

‘How long has it been?’

For the past three months.

Chris had a regular schedule.

I learned various magic and black magic, and while raising my level of sanity, I studied black magic in my spare time.

Thanks to consistent training, I reached the 3-star level, and my achievements in various black magic and magical arts also improved by leaps and bounds.

In less than three months, he had reached the top of the three-star ranks. To be exact, he had reached the very end of the ranks. The stage just before reaching the top three.

It was a truly crazy speed, but I was frustrated because I couldn’t easily find the clue to the black dragon.

The moment of enlightenment has arrived.

Without any warning.

And I fell into a state of no-self, and only now have I opened my eyes.

‘Has it been about two days?’

It feels like I closed my eyes for a moment, but two days have already passed.

I don’t remember exactly.

I just remember chasing something endlessly.

A string that just won’t catch.

And the moment I grabbed the string with my ‘will’, I suddenly came to my senses.

Chris checked his condition.

I took a quick look around the magic room.

‘What is this?’

Chris looked surprised.

It had reached the level of 3 stars!

Achievement much faster than expected.

Besides, there was something more important.

Chris instinctively opened his hand.

The black sword was spread out.

It didn’t end there.

Chris looked at the black sword.

Wow!

There was no significant change when viewed with the naked eye.

It was still a black sword.

But Chris could tell.

That the black sword contains a will.

Now his black sword has transcended its simple physical properties and become a weapon that manifests his will into the world.

‘But it’s difficult to use it recklessly. Since it contains will, it consumes a lot of magic energy. In terms of power, if you compare it to the black steel weapon used by an actual 5-star mine… it’s about half the power.’

Half of the Black Steel. It was an incredible power.

A power that is unimaginably strong for a mine that has not yet escaped the shackles of a three-star level.

‘And it’s not like I can only handle black ink.’

In an instant, Chris’s constitution changed.

The dark energy disappeared and a clear, light energy flowed through my body.

and.

Pfft!

An aura of light, the same level of power as the Black Dragon, overflowed from Chris’s hand!

You can now use the ‘Aura Blade’.

‘Have you become a true 5-star being through the realm of Seonghwi?’

It doesn’t mean it’s 5 stars.

Although it is still at the level of a 4-star, when it surpasses the limits of a 4-star and can vaguely control the aura, it is expressed as a ‘true’ level.

If you are a 5 star but can vaguely control ‘idea’, then you are a 6 star Jin, and so on.

It is a term derived from military rank, where a person who has not yet been officially promoted but has assumed the position is referred to as a Centurion Jin (眞).

In other words, although it has not yet surpassed the 4-star shackle, it can be said that it has set foot on the 5-star level.

It has also become much stronger as a union.

‘Fortunately, the timing was just right.’

Chris looked at the calendar.

One week until the general election. There was barely any time left.

“Marie? Are you there?”

[master?]

Marie suddenly appeared through the wall and stopped dead in her tracks.

[Something thump thump, does it seem like you’ve become more cool?]

I instinctively felt that Chris had become stronger.

“Nothing special has happened for the past two days?”

[No big deal. Ah… I looked into Princess Yurian.]

Chris’s eyes lit up at those words.

1. The princess is the most dangerous competitor.

It was important content.

“What special past did Princess Yurian have?”

Devil contractors often had special circumstances.

Especially painful and utterly desperate stories.

Because what demons covet are souls that were once brilliantly shining but then suffered terrible things and fell into despair.

When the soul, wounded and torn to pieces, cries out in misery, the demons willingly give away their ‘blessings’.

If that’s the case for Yulian, she must have had a notable experience in the past.

however.

[You said… nothing special happened?]

“hmm?”

[Princess Yurian… was born as the youngest daughter between Marquis Langham and his former wife… and was raised with abundant care. It is said that she never experienced any painful events… at all.]

A well-raised princess.

That was all that Marie had investigated about Princess Yurian’s past.

“okay?”

Chris made a surprised face.

‘If there was no special reason to make a contract with the devil, did you just make a contract with the devil out of greed?’

In that case, there was nothing to worry about. Those who made a contract with the devil and greed had clear limits to their power.

But somehow I had a feeling that wasn’t the case.

It was a gut feeling.

‘… There must be something. Something the family members don’t know.’

I felt like I needed to spend more time looking into it.

But Marie said something unexpected.

[Oh… Now that I think about it, there is something strange.]

“which?”

[It is said that Princess Yurian’s personality suddenly changed in an instant.]

Marie tilted her pretty face innocently.

[About 5 years ago…? It is said that she became a completely different person after suffering from a fever for several days. Originally, Princess Yurian… was a ruthless and evil woman known for being extremely cruel to those below her, but it is said that she completely changed from that time. It is said that she became completely mature and developed a warm personality.]

Chris blinked.

It was a strange story.

Your personality changes after having a fever?

‘For now, I’ll have to watch Princess Yurian a little longer.’

Chris shook his head.

There was still too little information to make any definitive judgment.

“Yeah, thanks for your hard work.”

[What…?]

“Yeah, what the heck.”

Marie smiled innocently and bashfully, and Chris brought up a different topic.

“I have one more favor to ask. Can you please find Ruina at the Rudolph Headquarters… no, Rubid Headquarters and deliver the letter I wrote to her?”

A while ago, it was a group that extorted money during an exploration of relics.

[By any chance…what’s going on?]

“Ah. I have something to ask you separately.”

Chris smiled faintly.

The matter was obvious.

Another money grab.

‘I need a lot of money to do what I planned.’

Chris glanced out the window.

Beyond the mansion. That is, where the old man’s annex is.

Yes, that’s right.

Chris planned to use Noh Ga-ju to close out this general meeting.

* ? ?* ? ?*

A few days later.

Nogaju’s annex.

Marian and Nordian were talking.

“Christian, what is he doing?”

Marian hid her surprise.

For the past three months.

The Norseman asked about Christian’s whereabouts when he forgot.

An interest that had never been shown to any of the previous Confuciuss.

“There are no special changes. I am learning black magic and magic arts from the teachers of the family.”

“…I see. Is that girl, Frescia, still the same?”

“Yes, he is using his power to isolate Christian.”

Nogaju clicked his tongue.

There was a hint of discontent.

Towards the petty number Fresia?

No, it’s to Christian who lies flat on his stomach without saying a word despite being treated unfairly.

This is not what Nordien expected from Christian.

“Maybe I had too high of expectations. How can I just be so helpless? I thought you were a lion cub, but maybe you’re just a stray.”

Excessive and harsh evaluation.

But then Simon suddenly intervened from the side.

“It may not be powerless.”

“then?”

“Could it be that you are sharpening your toenails?”

“Christian, that kid?”

“Yes, if that ill-tempered young master is this quiet, shouldn’t we assume he’s up to something?”

The Norse frowned sharply.

“You little punk, you know something more.”

Simon just smiled faintly.

“I just had a feeling that something interesting was going to happen. We vampires are more wary of silence from others.”

Nogaju clicked his tongue.

Fortunately, as the anger seemed to have subsided, Marian carefully held out a box.

“What is that?”

“This is a gift from Christian to the Lord.”

“…For me? A gift?”

“…Yes, he said it was a gift from his grandson as a token of his gratitude for your past teachings.”

yesterday.

Christian secretly came to see Marian and asked her to deliver a gift box to Nogaju.

‘… I’m worried that it might backfire.’

Marian felt uneasy for no reason.

It seemed as if Norse would explode in anger at the sight of the gift box.

“Doing useless things….”

As expected, the reaction is not good.

Marian quickly collected the gift box before Christian could be caught any further.

“I will send this back. I will train you thoroughly so that you never do something like this again….”

“No, it’s done.”

“…yes?”

“Give it to me.”

Marian held out the gift box, dumbfounded.

Noh Ga-ju still had a frown on her face. It seemed as if she didn’t like it.

‘I told you to be strong, but you did something useless.’

But there was one reason why Nogaju decided to accept the gift.

One phrase written on the box.

-I am sure this will be a gift you will be satisfied with.

Noh Ga-ju burst into laughter.

‘How impudent.’

I decided to accept the gift because of that ridiculous phrase.

Indeed, I wanted to check what kind of gift it was.

When I opened it, it was chocolate.

“…wen?”

“…I heard that the owner likes chocolate, so I prepared it myself.”

The Norseman’s eyes turned cold.

Marian was sweating profusely.

‘Damn, why did that Christian Thunderbolt guy do something like that?’

I was more anxious than when I reported the mission failure.

It seemed like Norse was going to burn the chocolate with magic and call Christian to come and play.

Fortunately, the Norsemen did not cause any magic.

– I am sure this will be a gift you will be satisfied with.

It was because of this phrase.

‘You probably wouldn’t have thought I’d be satisfied with something like chocolate.’

Of course, it was true that Norsemen liked chocolate.

But no matter how heavenly the chocolate tasted, the Norseman was not satisfied with this gift.

Because that’s not what he wants from Christian.

But, if he wasn’t a kid who didn’t know that, why did he do something like that?

While I was angry, I also wondered what kind of absurd idea that clever guy had in mind to do such a thing.

He glared at the chocolate fiercely, then lifted his finger and put it in his mouth.

If it really is nothing more than just delicious chocolate, I think I should give it a good scolding.

The moment the soft texture touches your tongue.

A sophisticated sense ascended through the taste buds.

A taste as if the best pastry chef has demonstrated his extreme skills.

But the Norse frowned.

‘You made it yourself? Are you a Confucius and cooking this kind of food?’

It was the moment when I swallowed the chocolate with disappointment.

An unimaginable twist occurred.

Wow!

The Norse’s vision changed.

‘…Illusion?’

It wasn’t a view from the annex.

A vast plain.

The towering dark magician’s true nature.

There was a figure standing there.
