I Became the Genius Bastard of a Noble Dark Clan – 79

Chapter 79

Episode 79

He was a guy I didn’t even want to date, but there was something I had to say.

“You say I’m below expectations? That’s because you’re blind, you crazy bastard.”

“……!!”

“It is for the sake of the world that a crazy bastard like you just die and disappear. Someday, I will definitely cut off your head.”

Sherard’s eyes widened at the sudden outburst.

and.

“Hmm.”

The smile that had been lingering on Sherard’s lips disappeared, and a cold air settled over him.

Thud, thud.

Chris’s heart raced as memories of the past came to mind, but he did not back down.

Instead, he glared at the bastard with even stronger hostility. As if he really intended to cut off his head one day.

There was a tense atmosphere that seemed like it could explode at any moment,

“Hahaha! Okay, cancel. You’re interesting in your own way.”

Sherard burst into a cool laugh.

“But that’s not enough to steal my attention. Try a little harder.”

Pfft!

Sherard’s body disappeared along with a drop of blood.

It was a hematoma.

Sherard, the Blood Shadow Lord, did not accept dark magic at all even though he was from the Dark Maga.

Instead, I learned hematoma.

A magical skill that perfectly suits Sherard’s bloodthirsty nature.

Sherard reappeared on the tree far away and smiled sincerely.

“I will be watching you.”

“…….”

After Sherard’s figure completely disappeared, Chris gritted his teeth.

and.

Boom!

He hit the tree roughly.

‘fu*k. Damn it!’

Even though I saw my former colleague’s enemy right before my eyes, I couldn’t move a finger.

A feeling of abject helplessness welled up in me.

‘I need to get stronger.’

But it was impossible to become stronger at a faster rate.

Because Chris was already growing stronger at an unparalleled rate.

It hasn’t even been a year since the return, but I’m getting really close to 4 stars.

No one in history has gotten stronger faster than him.

‘If you push yourself, you can level up your castle faster than this. But then there’s a high chance that problems will arise later.’

As the level of a castle increases, the foundation underneath becomes more important.

Considering the future, it was essential to lay the necessary foundation, so a minimum amount of time was needed to raise the level of Christianity.

‘Still, one year. I have to kill that bastard within one year, no matter what.’

Still, I couldn’t sense any trace of the devil on him.

It means before making a contract with the devil.

If he makes a contract with the devil and receives the blessing of ‘eating demons’, then it will be a truly terrible disaster.

I had to cut off his neck before that.

I had to figure out a way.

‘If I want to kill him within a year, I need a tool that will amplify my power.’

It refers to artifacts or relics.

All strong people who have reached a certain level use their own tools to amplify their strength.

‘I have the Broken Holy Sword, Grunade, but it has too many limitations. It’s damaged, so I can’t fully unleash the power of the constellation. I need to get another tool.’

The problem is that these artifacts and relics are not easy to obtain.

I recently obtained the Constellation Insignia, but unfortunately it wasn’t a combat-ready relic.

You may be able to get help from Ruina’s boss who runs the auction house, but ‘real exhaust’ doesn’t go up for auction.

‘There are probably artifacts and relics that the Dark Maga is keeping, but they won’t give them to me. Then there’s only one way.’

Chris’s eyes softened.

‘We need to explore the ruins. I know which ruins have the artifacts and relics we need. Let’s figure out how to get to the ruins.’

At that moment, the attendant approached.

“Your Majesty, the Marchioness is waiting for you.”

“Ah, I’ll be there soon.”

Originally, he was on his way to meet the Marchioness.

I took a deep breath to calm my mind and headed to the Marchioness’s office.

“Are you here? You’re late.”

Frescia greeted him in a calm tone.

Perhaps because of the shock from the previous competition, his face had become noticeably haggard.

‘It doesn’t seem like you called with good intentions.’

Chris scoffed inwardly.

Fresia’s eyes were extremely cold.

The hostility felt even stronger than before.

It was a hostility that was almost murderous. I felt like I wanted to tear Chris to pieces and kill him right away.

“What’s going on?”

“I called you because of the meeting with Confucius. Do you know what kind of meeting it is?”

I knew it.

‘Did you say that this was a gathering for the new princes and princesses to get to know each other?’

The target is three prestigious families of the Southern Magic Kingdom.

It is said that it happens once every three years, and that those who become new princes and princesses within those three years are grouped together and become close friends.

‘It’s called friendship, but it’s a place for fighting.’

It is a given that the meeting place will be chosen as a dangerous magical place.

There was an open ‘competition’ in the middle order.

The princes and princesses who attend the meeting compete for the pride of their families.

‘This is an important position in its own way. It’s a chance for me to make my name known outside of the Dark Magic.’

Fame gives him power.

I had to build up my reputation as high as possible whenever I had the chance.

This meeting will also be a good opportunity.

‘Is this all you called me to tell me?’

It’s a story that can be told through the butler.

I tilted my head, and Fresia showed her true colors.

“Each family takes turns deciding on the meeting place. This time, it’s our Dark Maga’s turn to decide. We’ve decided on the ‘7th floor of the underground garden’ of the Besne Grand Duke’s estate, so please take note of that.”

“!!”

Chris’s face hardened.

It was a famous relic.

A mysterious place, a ruin in the realm of the Duke of Beth-en, where no one knows when or by whom it was built.

You don’t even know how many floors there are, and the lower you go, the more dangerous monsters and dungeons you encounter.

‘Since Confucius meetings are usually held in dangerous places, the underground garden is not a particularly strange place.’

Even without that, the underground garden was a regular location for Confucius talks.

If you choose the ‘floor’ well, you can choose the appropriate level of risk that suits the level of the students.

but.

‘…Why the 7th floor? How strange.’

Chris narrowed his eyes.

Because it’s dangerous?

No, on the contrary, it is safe.

‘The 7th floor is not a threat to me at all.’

The underground garden has now been explored up to the 26th floor.

What’s amazing is that the floors are divided exactly to match the level of the castle.

The levels from 1st to 3rd are manageable for 1-star mines.

Floors 4 to 6 are at the level of 2-star mines.

Floors 7 to 9 are at the level of 3-star mines.

In this way, the difficulty level is prepared according to the level of each castle on each of the three floors.

‘For this reason, it is also called the Garden of Training. It is also a place where the people of the Southern Magical Nation come to train.’

According to calculations, the 7th floor is where the demons of the lower tier 3 level appear.

If the plan was to harm Chris, this arrangement was completely out of place.

‘There must be some ulterior motive.’

I asked to find out the intention.

“Do you know if anyone else besides me will be attending?”

“From our Dark Maga, you and Princess Jupienne will attend, from the Poison Maga, Princess Marisa will attend, and from the Destruction Maga, Prince Kashmir will attend.”

“!!”

Chris flinched.

It’s not because of Marisa, who was this body’s former fiancée.

It was because of the names of the attendees on the Destruction Maga side.

‘Resister Kashmir.’

It was a famous name during the Age of Destruction.

Later, he became a 7-star mine and a leader of the resistance force that fought against the Bloody Demon King within the Magic Empire.

‘Not all of the Mines followed the will of the Demon King of Blood.’

The Demon King of Blood commits merciless slaughter and turns humanity into hell.

But as you can see from the Dark Maga, not all Mines enjoy such slaughter.

No, most mines only pursue power and dominance, and do not enjoy such evil.

It was natural that there would be some who opposed it.

Kashmir was one of them.

‘Was Kashmir a descendant of the Maga of Destruction? I heard he was abandoned by his family when he was young… Ah.’

The puzzle suddenly came together in Chris’s head.

I could tell by looking at the list of attendees.

Kashmir.

Marisa.

Jupien.

Christian.

There was something in common.

They were all non-mainstream people within the family.

There are many people who wish for him to die and disappear.

There is an ambiguous selection called ‘7th floor’.

‘The plan is to kill everyone in attendance, layer by layer.’

At this point, no one knows.

The underground garden had one secret.

A secret that Chris knows because he is a regressor.

By using that secret, it would have been possible to annihilate everyone attending this Confucius conference at once.

As expected, Fresia’s eyes were shining brightly.

A look in his eyes that made him certain that Chris would die.

It was proof that Chris’ guess was correct.

It’s right to avoid it, though.

“Okay, underground garden, 7th floor. I will prepare accordingly.”

“!!”

It was originally a trap from which no one could survive, but Chris knew of only one way to survive.

A method that only Chris can use.

No, on the contrary.

Chris swallowed hard.

‘This is an opportunity. And it’s a huge one. To think that I’d get the chance to obtain the highest-grade artifact from the Underground Gardens.’

In my past memories, there were relics that I absolutely had to obtain.

One of them was in the ‘Underground Garden’, but I didn’t have enough strength to even think about going to get it.

Originally, it would have been possible to challenge it after a long time, but if you use this ‘trap’ well, you might have a chance to obtain the relic.

‘You can also gain incredible fame as a bonus. If you do well, you can even become a ‘pioneer’.’

The underground garden was a relic that had not yet been explored.

Those who achieve new achievements are called ‘pioneers’ and are recorded separately in the Underground Garden Hall of Fame.

The underground garden is a magical sanctuary among the people of the Southern Magical Country.

It was a great honor to have one’s name recorded in such a place.

His name will spread far and wide beyond the Dark Maga.

“Are you going to attend?”

“Yes, I had always wanted to visit the underground garden. I am grateful to you, Aunt, for giving me the opportunity.”

Was Chris’s aggressive attitude annoying? Fresia frowned.

‘Surely you didn’t notice the trap?’

No, that can’t be true.

The plan prepared by Fresia was a trap that took advantage of a secret that Maga the Destroyer had discovered while investigating the underground garden.

There was no way he knew the secret, and even if he did, once he set foot in there, he would never come back alive.

“The Confucius meeting is a matter of family honor, so make sure to prepare thoroughly.”

“Yes, I understand. But can I ask you a favor?”

“Please? What is it?”

“Please give me some money.”

“…what?”

Chris smiled faintly.

“I’m tired from beating up that old Isaac so hard in the last competition. I’m going to have a good time at the castle before I leave, so give me some seed money.”

I had to prepare to survive the trap.

I needed money.
