I Became the Genius Bastard of a Noble Dark Clan – 84

Chapter 84

Episode 84

In fact, Simon had no obligation to save Christian.

This time, following me was just a whim.

He was simply loyal to the Norse and had no obligation to help anyone in the Dark Maga.

but.

‘If Prince Christian dies like this, I think I’ll be free.’

Simon licked his lips with his tongue.

After leaving Blood Sword Maga, he lived a dry and twisted life.

Is it because I am already a dead soul? A boring life with no interest in anything.

The only person Simon has been interested in lately is Christian.

Simon isn’t the only one who finds Christian so interesting.

Christian has charmed even Marian, who was cold to everyone in the family, and even Nogaju.

‘Although His Majesty the King speaks coldly, he secretly cares deeply for Prince Christian.’

After much thought, Simon made a decision.

“Let’s go. I hope our Prince Christian doesn’t meet the boss on the 17th floor.”

Simon said grinning.

“If we face the boss of the 17th floor, the Spider Queen Tarantula, we will all be dead.”

* ? ?* ? ?*

At that time, Chris.

Those left on the floor below were holding their breath, unable to even imagine what kind of pitiful decisions they had made for themselves.

‘As expected, the devil’s spirit pressure. The pressure is no joke.’

but.

Chris’s eyes lit up.

‘Fortunately, it’s bearable. As expected.’

It was an unbelievable story.

Spiritual pressure was completely different from the usual sense of oppression.

It was the pressure caused by the difference in the level of the soul.

No mortal could escape this pressure.

But Chris was different.

‘Because I am not a normal mortal.’

At that time, the ‘devil’ mentioned the fact.

[What a strange being. An unfinished mortal with the status of a ‘half-demon’.]

Chris has absorbed 10% of the darkness and his soul level has increased.

So, you can be okay even under the pressure of the devil’s soul.

‘You have to do well from now on.’

Chris took a deep breath.

It was obviously impossible for him to deal with that demon with his strength.

In particular, that demon was the leader of the Fourth Realm.

For reference, demons are divided into ranks based on their status.

The great demons of the first and second realms are more like concepts or laws that make up the world than actual entities, so in reality, he was the highest-ranking demon among the existing demons.

A great being who can exert power equal to that of a 9-star Demon King, despite having most of his abilities sealed.

So, I had to use a ‘trick’ to get what I wanted from him.

To be exact.

‘I have to cheat him. Make him give me the item.’

Cheating on the devil!

This is ridiculous.

If he makes even one wrong move, his soul will be shattered into pieces and he will perish in terrible pain.

‘But there’s a chance. I know his weakness.’

Chris’s expression hardened.

My heart was pounding with excitement and nervousness, but I ignored it and spoke in a strong voice.

“How foolish of you to not recognize my true identity.”

[…what?]

“I am an incarnation of the same Gehenna Fourth Realm as you. How can you not even recognize a being of the same rank? Are you sealed away and blind?”

[!!]

The bastard growled loudly.

[How dare you. Do you think I would believe such an absurd statement?]

“Then? If it weren’t for the great power, do you think it would be possible for a mortal body like this to take on the status of a half-demon?”

What a ridiculous scam!

But Chris was sure the bastard wouldn’t see through his lies.

‘The bastard’s perception is now completely sealed.’

To use a human analogy, not only was all of the creature’s five senses sealed, but its spiritual sixth sense, magical sense, and other senses were also all blocked.

You can never see through his true nature.

Chris said something that confused the guy even more.

“I fell for the conspiracy of the ‘Player’ and ended up in such a miserable state, and even lost all my wisdom.”

[!!]

“It’s a shame that the ‘Star Slayer’ who once brought terror to the Three Realms has fallen so low.”

A playful person.

The star killer.

These were aliases that no one but a demon or a constellation who knew of the bastard’s past could ever know.

‘Of course, I am an exception.’

After the party of warriors defeated the bastard, he let out this heartbreaking cry.

– I, the ‘Star-killer’ who made the Three Realms tremble, have ended up in this situation! You ‘Player’ who brought me to this state with your wicked plot! One day, I will throw you into the abyss!

Thanks to that, I found out, but there was no way he knew Chris’s true circumstances.

[That’s ridiculous… There’s no way a 4th-level being would take on the lowly flesh of a mortal!]

Although he strongly denied it, Chris could already tell that the bastard was somewhat taken in by his words.

“I had no choice but to avoid the gaze of the evil constellations. And there is a more important reason why I am in this insignificant body.”

[…what is it?]

“Exactly, to get down to your level.”

Chris raised his lips in a pout.

“Wouldn’t this insignificant body be enough to humiliate you, a bastard who is sealed like a cripple and cannot live or die?”

[!!]

The guy was furious.

The entire space shook as if it was about to collapse.

Even though he was sealed, he showed this much strength just by being angry.

Chris’s body instinctively began to tremble.

A reflexive reaction of the body, independent of one’s will.

Chris quickly used the secret technique of the Yixian family to control his physical reactions and spoke words that further provoked the bastard.

“You call this a show of strength? How petty and pathetic.”

[!!]

“If my true form descends, it will be no problem to trample on your soul with just one step. Where do you dare to show off your unimportant strength? This is your final warning, so do not test my mercy.”

Does it work?

The bastard withdrew his power.

He still seemed angry, but he couldn’t show it as clearly as before.

[If you are truly the leader of the Fourth Realm, why have you come? State your exact business.]

“Because it’s fun.”

[…what?]

“For eons of free time, I was looking for a toy to relieve my boredom, and I remembered your existence.”

It was an excuse that surprisingly worked.

Because boredom is the biggest source of motivation for demons to act.

There was no grand reason why demons took human souls and caused havoc in the world. It was simply because it was ‘fun’.

“I will offer you a bet. If you win the bet with me, I will try to release your seal.”

[!!]

The guy was shaken.

[What is that…? Are you saying that you will go against the will of the three realms of the dark heavens?]

Chris realized one thing from those words.

Dark sky.

It is a general term for Gehenna and heaven.

This underground garden was meant to be a collaboration between the constellations and the devil. And it was created by an extremely high being from the third realm or higher.

“So didn’t I tell you? I’ll try. I can’t give you a definite answer. But I swear it on my name.”

[… Heh heh. You’re trying to humiliate me. It’s impossible anyway.]

“If you don’t like it, then don’t do it. I won’t regret it anyway.”

It was impossible, just as he said.

Is Chris somehow going to release that bastard’s seal?

Even the guarantee I gave was a fraud.

‘Because there’s no point in putting my mortal ‘name’ on the line.’

But still, Chris was confident that the bastard wouldn’t turn down his offer.

Because it was the only hope that had come for the first time in a long, long time.

Even if it’s a lie, he won’t be able to shake it off easily.

indeed.

[…What should I do if you win?]

“It’s simple. Just destroy yourself.”

[!!]

“Even if it disappears, won’t it just come back to life again soon? You won’t suffer any harm, right?”

Yes, that’s right.

Surprisingly, the monsters in this underground garden reset over time.

This was the reason why the same bosses would reappear soon after the visitor destroyed them on each floor.

It may be convenient and good for those who visit for training, but for the monsters trapped in this underground garden, it is a terrible hell from which they cannot escape even by death.

[…Why are you suggesting this bet? There’s absolutely nothing you can gain by doing this anyway.]

“Didn’t I tell you?”

It goes without saying that the goal is to clear the 27th floor and obtain the first clear reward item.

Instead, Chris gave an answer befitting the devil.

“Because it’s fun.”

[!!]

“I want to see you, who once shook the Three Realms, writhing in misery, unable to live or die. The miserable sight of a demon of my caliber would be sweeter than any amusement.”

Thump. Thump.

My heart was pounding.

The die has been cast.

Now it was a matter of whether he would accept it or not.

‘If he doesn’t accept it and uses force, it’s over. He has to get out immediately.’

A countermeasure has been prepared.

The scissors of space.

As I said before, it is impossible to escape using the scissors in the original space. There is a high probability that you will become lost in space and die.

But now it was possible.

‘It hasn’t been long since the ‘transfer’, so the variables in the subspace will still be quiet.’

There was also a high probability that space travel would be successful.

‘But the probability is less than 50%, though.’

Chris waited for the bastard’s decision, hiding his impatience.

[…Okay. I will accept your offer.]

‘Good!’ A bitter tone came out of the bastard’s mouth.

[Even if you just want to humiliate me, I don’t think I have any choice.]

maybe.

He might have figured out that Chris was lying.

But even so, it seemed like he accepted this as his miserable fate.

[So, what kind of bet are you going to make? Surely you’re not going to decide on a sport and have a match like those lowly humans?]

“Of course not. Keep it simple.”

Chris lifted his lips in a crooked manner.

“Tell me my ‘true name’.”

[!!]

“I will give you plenty of chances. If you reveal my true name, you will win.”

The guy was silent for a moment.

[What an incomprehensible bet. If you are indeed the first of the Four Realms, then you are someone I know. But you want me to guess your true name?]

The fourth world is the highest world in Gehenna.

The number of devils is not large either.

If he mentions the true names of all the demons he knows, the bet is over.

It will be revealed that Chris is not a demon from the Fourth Realm and the bet will be void.

but.

‘There’s a reason I proposed this bet.’

It was the highlight of Chris’ scheme… no, the scam.

“You will never guess my true name.”

[Heh heh. I don’t know what you’re up to. Alright. Let’s get started.]

He began to tell the true names of the four worlds’ leaders one by one that he knew.

Chris shook his head every time.

Soon.

He told them the true names of all the four realms’ demons, and Chris shook his head one last time.
