Youngest Scion of the Mages - Chapter 28

The youngest son of the magic family Episode 28

: A scroll invisible to the naked eye.

‘I…’

I didn’t have time to think for long.

“I will choose this scroll.”

I put my hand out in the air. An empty space with nothing in it. I stretched out my hand there.

‘there is…!’

I felt something. Feels like touching jelly.

For a moment, a heavy silence fell.

After some time passed, Decatra opened his mouth.

“Ivelia.”

“yes. father.”

“Did you tell me?”

“Not me.”

Decatra’s gaze turned to the second prince.

“Me neither.”

3rd Princess Persha waved her hand.

“Me neither.”

Decatra nodded lightly. Then he smiled faintly.

“So does that mean a 9-year-old was able to read that mana wavelength on his own?”

No one could answer.

“Ivelia, what did you not do when you were 9 years old?”

“I think that kid has better eyes now than I did back then.”

Third Princess Persha laughed. I also thought it was fun. I never thought the youngest would be able to read that.

Evelia made a reasonable inference of her own.

“Maybe it’s a talent related to magic. “Martial arts grows very quickly in the beginning.”

“So Larsen, who just turned 10, discovered that?”

“That’s the conclusion we have reached at this time. “None of us learned martial arts at that age.”

“Ivelia saw it accurately. “Even if it is limited to magic fighting, it is an amazing achievement.”

Decatra opened his mouth again.

“Youngest child, please bring the ‘Scroll of Transcendent Attribute’.”

The moment I heard that name, ‘Cheonan’ was activated.

[7 scrolls are given to the Mayton family for their 10th anniversary. The 10-year-old person can choose one of the scrolls and receive the ‘body enhancement technique’ engraved on it.]

Red is a ‘flame’ attribute.

Blue is a ‘water’ attribute.

Silver is a ‘steel’ attribute.

Dark brown is the ‘earth’ attribute.

Yellow is the ‘brain’ attribute.

Black is a ‘cancer’ attribute.

White is a ‘name’ attribute.

This is a major attribute passed down through generations of the Mayton family.

[Most ‘elemental attributes’ can be realized by mixing the seven attributes in the right way.] Just

as mixing white and black creates gray, mixing ‘mana’ with ‘mana’ within this worldview This means that it becomes mana of a different nature.

[The final attribute that can encompass all seven attributes is the transcendent attribute.]

‘They’ve all mixed together.’

Mixing everything together doesn’t necessarily mean it’s good. Larsen thought.

‘If you mix rice with jjajang sauce, it becomes great jjajang rice, but if you mix it with sweet and sour pork, jjamppong, fried dumplings, and jajangmyeon, it’s dog food.’

That’s why it’s not all that good. Depending on how you use it, it can be a double-edged sword. I got a feeling. Larsen held it in his hand and walked toward Decatra.

‘But if you mix the various ingredients properly, you can make delicious bibimbap.’

The taste of food changes depending on which ingredients are mixed and how. The same goes for mana. The results will vary depending on how the ‘body enhancement technique’ of ‘transcendence attribute’ is implanted and how it is absorbed.

“I didn’t know you would choose this.”

“I take it as a compliment.”

Seeing that, Confucius 6’s eyes widened.

‘Why is the way you talk to your father like that?’

It seemed like that damn bastard had lost his head. Even if you just shut up, it’s not enough, so you confidently say, ‘I understand it as a compliment.’ Such a disrespectful attitude towards your absolute father.

Of course, thinking that it was ‘disrespectful’ was the 6th Confucius’s mistake. Because Decatra much prefers an energetic look rather than a timid look. In fact, Decatra quite liked Larsen’s current appearance.

“Ivelia is in charge of performing the body strengthening technique.”

Larsen flinched.

“I knew my father did it himself.”

“If I do it, there’s a 99% chance I’ll die? “I can do it if you want.”

“….”

I had nothing to say. No, you didn’t set up this content. If there’s a 99% chance, doesn’t that mean you’ll almost certainly die?

“Even if it’s just a single piece of mana I have, I will break your heart mercilessly.”

“Would it be different if Sister Evelia did it?”

“The survival rate will rise to around 50 percent. “Because it’s much softer than my mana.”

“….”

For a moment, I regretted choosing ‘Scroll of Transcendent Attribute’.

‘no. ‘Let’s not regret it.’

I decided not to regret it.

‘Is it the effect of Cheonan?’

Although Cheonan did not directly show the ‘text’, I got the feeling.

‘I can do this.’

Although the survival rate is said to be 50%, Larsen, who has Cheonan, felt it was much higher than that. A gamble where the probability of success is much higher than the probability of failure. Every choice involves risk, and Larsen has long since given up on the idea of surviving in this crazy world without risk.

‘Because I have to do my best.’

Because I fell into a world where I could only get halfway if I did my best.

‘This is actually an opportunity.’

To adapt to this crazy world, you have to do it in crazy ways. Thinking like that made me feel at ease.

Larsen turned to Evelia.

“sister. Please take care of me.”

“Do you trust me?”

I answered similarly to how I coaxed Protector Jayple.

“I trust you as a wizard.”

“Father gave an optimistic explanation, but I think the probability of success is lower. ‘Transcendence attribute’ is quite destructive and heavy mana. Of course, the body strengthening techniques used to accommodate this are also destructive.”

Evelia gave me all the information she could with an expressionless face.

“What do you think the probability of success is?”

“You have to play really well to get 50 percent.”

“What if you do your best?”

“Still 50 percent.”

“Do you want me to choose a scroll with a different attribute?”

“He who walks the path of magic does not force his path on others. But I want you to become stronger.”

Evelia said it back, but it could not be interpreted to mean that she had to choose a scroll with a different attribute.

‘If I choose something else here…’

Decatra, who values defeat and spirit, will be quite disappointed. Gambling is a jackpot if you succeed, and a disaster if you fail. If you have already come this far, there is no turning back. So I decided to bet on the jackpot.

“I will take this.”

“Take off your clothes.”

“How much should I take off?”

“Everything except underwear.”

Larsen took off his robe without hesitation and took off all the clothes he was wearing underneath. 3rd Princess Persha’s eyes narrowed.

‘Who would see that body as that of a 10-year-old?’

It was fun. The youngest’s change occurred in just one month. But how could my body change so much in just one month? Also, what did you think of that ‘scroll with the ball attribute’? What is it about the youngest’s incredibly strong body? What secret does the youngest have?

“You have the perfect body and face to make into ornaments.”

“….”

Larsen pretended not to hear. Evelia’s fingers touched Larsen’s chest.

“father. “Thank you for giving me, a humble person, the opportunity to receive Larsen’s 10-year body enhancement technique.”

At that time, Larsen grabbed Evelia’s finger.

“sister. wait a minute.”

“why? Are you scared all of a sudden?”

“no. “That’s not it.”

I looked at my father, Decatra.

“I have something to say to your father.”

Larsen felt it. For a moment, the air was frozen cold. Most people here are like, ‘What is that crazy guy talking about?’ I looked at Larsen with that expression.

But Larsen was confident. What everyone here doesn’t know. Because Larsen now knows the settings that even writer Cha Seong-min didn’t know.

“what?”

“If I survive, please do me a favor.”

Most of the brothers thought the same thing.

‘ask?’

‘What are you doing with your long hair?’

‘Where is the nerd who asks for favors in a 10-year-old?’

Larsen could read his brothers’ thoughts. Larsen also knows what his brothers think of him. But I was confident. Because he is Cha Seong-min and he knows how to move Decatra’s heart.

“Originally, it was the tradition of the Mayton family that the body strengthening techniques were performed directly by the head of the family. That tradition has been broken. Although Sister Evelia’s skills are outstanding, they are nothing compared to my father’s skills.”

Depending on how you hear it, it may be rude, but Larsen had no hesitation in his words.

“So I think I should have this level of privilege.”

Among the brothers, 6th Prince Carlton was especially absurd the more he heard.

‘You crazy bastard.’

It was better. He will be discarded for showing such disrespect to his father here.

‘Die. Hehehe.’

But it was a little strange. Decatra grinned.

Decatra thought. Such outspoken remarks and such confident attitude are the attitude of Mayton, a master of magic. This is Mayton. I feel a lot better.

“What is your favor?”

“Please call my mother here.”

That is a statement aimed squarely at Decatra. Decatra loved Soso. I still love you.

‘It’s also what Decatra wants.’

Something I wanted but couldn’t put into practice. Decatra: An arrangement for a distant future in which Decatra himself will not be present.

‘But it doesn’t come that far into the future.’

Are you saying that in 15 years, a munchkin that has grown into a monster will destroy this family? Larsen plans to become independent from this monstrous family before then.

Rather than looking into the distant future, I focused on the present situation. I had no intention of going too far and making the mistake of not being able to take even a single step.

At that time, the first mother suddenly spoke.

“That lowly thing cannot come here.”

“Why is my mother so humble?”

“Because their origins and roots are different from ours.”

That’s not it, I’m jealous.

“I am my father’s son. And half of the blood I have comes from my mother. To call my mother low is to say that I am low, and that could mean dishonoring my father, who passed on half of his blood to me.”

Whatever the logic, the last word was important. Decatra’s status is absolute. The very fact that something can be dishonored is dangerous.

Decatra said.

“Why are you asking that?”

“That’s…”

This is the method that writer Cha Seong-min came up with. Everyone knows this absolute person as cold-blooded, without blood or tears, but there is just a ray of humanity left in his heart. It touched the bare minimum remaining emotions. As a writer.

“Because your mother wants to see your father.”

These words may turn the three mothers into enemies, but it doesn’t matter. Because it is much more advantageous to have one father on my side than to have three mothers against me.

‘My mother is my father’s only weakness.’

As long as we are human, we have no choice but to have emotions, and that is the same even if we are an absolute being. In particular, a character with a lonely absolute position like Decatra is bound to want a ‘companion who can understand him’ even more.

Only one person in the world.

Regardless of background power. The one person who really makes me feel like he’s the only one on my side. It is usually expressed as ‘companion’, but it can also be expressed as ‘wife’ or ‘husband’.

‘It’s impossible to shake my father with just my abilities.’

There are too many geniuses for that. So, as a writer, I approached it a little differently. I decided to use ‘emotion lines’.

‘It’ll probably come over.’

It was my confidence as a writer. And that assurance was true. It was an absurd reason, but it actually shook Decatra’s heart.

However, he wore a mask called Decatra.

“That lowly thing wants to see me. That’s an off-topic thought. But it’s good. If you can survive, I will grant you that favor. “Just try your best to survive.”

Larsen could feel it. Although he is telling Larsen to do his best to survive, his father is very hopeful that Larsen will survive. He wants to grow up properly and serve as a shadow for his mother.

‘I will live up to those expectations. ‘I do my best.’

That way you will get to the middle.

Evelia placed her finger on Larsen’s chest again.

“I will begin the operation.”

Larsen felt dizzy for a moment. It seemed like a mighty tidal wave of mana was rushing in. It felt like the mana had become a huge storm and was swirling around.

Evelia’s voice was heard.

“The 10-year ceremony will be held according to the laws of magic.”

The world distorted and spun around.

“A person who walks the path of magic. Evelia commands you. The one who will inherit the will of ‘transcendence’. “He who will lay his body in the embrace of the mighty and fierce Mana.”

I felt sick. I couldn’t see ahead. Larsen didn’t see it, but the ‘scroll of the air attribute’ began to tear apart on its own. A variety of incomprehensible magic symbols came out from within and began to be absorbed into Larsen’s body.

‘I’m dying.’

Wow!

Larsen ended up throwing up. But there was no time to worry about such trivial things. It was so painful.

‘It’s hot.’

My whole body felt like it was on fire. It felt like letters were being carved into the skin with a heated iron.

But then I heard a strange voice.

[I’ll help you.]

It was a voice I had never heard before. But somehow, it felt familiar.
