Magic Is Learned For Nothing [EN]: Chapter 29

My Name (1)

Julian, the vice-lord, went pale.

He hadn’t believed Legion’s words until the very end. Why would his son settle down with an Orc unless he had gone mad?

So, he had planned to visit the Orc village that Legion had told him about himself. If his son had been kidnapped by Orcs, he would wipe them all out.

But–

His son and Cyco, along with the four warriors who had disappeared with them, were attacking the territory in league with Orcs and the Undead.

Lord Julian staggered, unable to cope with the shock.

You could see his legs trembling. He had raised him with so much affection…

Everyone who knew Zenon was also in shock.

Legion chuckled as he watched Julian, the vice-lord.

You’re finished now.

Well, now we need to counterattack from this side too…

I need to show the people of the territory a great sight, even if it’s just to increase my luck.

“Sephia.”

Legion called Sephia.

-Krrr (Ready, okay).

“Charge.”

-Kuaaaang!

Sephia began to run. The sight of his massive body thumping was enough to scare even his allies.

Sephia took a running start and jumped.

He leaped right over the huge wooden fence.

Sephia landed right in the center of the Undead army. Kneeling on one knee, holding the mace Legion had given him! He was truly a war god.

-Kuaaaang!

The Ogre Fear exploded.

The Undead, unable to withstand the intense shockwave, unconsciously backed away. And towards them, the giant mace spun like a whirlwind.

Baga-ga-ga-gak!

In an instant, more than ten Undead were shattered and scattered.

The battle stopped, and everyone stared at Sephia.

It was a presence that transcended common sense.

“How can he be so strong?”

Shalom muttered as he watched Sephia’s battle.

He knew he was strong. He had experienced it once before, so he knew it painfully well.

But usually, three Aura users can easily take down an Ogre…

Kwakwakwakwakwang!

Dozens of thick trees, grown to be over several dozen meters tall, were broken at once. The Undead, with only bones left, were crushed just by being grazed.

The front line is collapsing quickly.

Just one Ogre has joined the battle-

Is this even possible?

Is it really possible for three knights using Aura to catch an Ogre? I can’t believe it. Was something misreported? Just as humans have developed civilization, has the Ogre’s body evolved further?

-Kuooh!

Once again, the Ogre’s Fear explodes.

Sephia’s Fear swept away allies and enemies alike. The Orc female warriors and all the soldiers on the wooden fence stiffened.

“Kuh-huh.”

Paind and Shalom were the same.

Even though they used magic to defend against the Fear, they couldn’t block all the shock. The tips of their tongues, fingers, and toes were stiff and unmoving, as if paralyzed.

Shalom barely managed to turn his head and look at Legion.

The lord was clapping and laughing.

He’s moving? Clapping?

Are you not affected at all, even after taking the Ogre’s Fear head-on?

What on earth happened to you after the assassin incident?

Legion’s gaze shifted.

His eyes met Shalom’s. Legion chuckled. Shalom felt cold sweat running down his spine.

What is this feeling?

* * *

-The combat power of the nurturing monster Sephia has increased by 540. Total combat power rises to 3,140. Sephia used Fear. Fighting spirit surges. Total combat power soars to 3,730.

Analysis of the situation constantly appeared on Legion’s retina.

In particular, there was the most power analysis of Sephia.

Just providing Sephia with a mace increased his combat power by a whopping 540.

The entity with the highest combat power among the enemies is the Orc female warrior chief, Amadeus.

She is also amazing.

Total combat power is 1,410.

But she was no match for Sephia, who has a combat power of over a thousand.

The Orc female warriors recklessly charged at Sephia.

Female warriors with a total combat power of just over 300. With their combat power, it would be difficult for them to even scratch Sephia, even if dozens of them attacked at once.

As expected-

They were kicked by Sephia and flew dozens of meters, crashing into the forest. If they had been hit by the mace, they wouldn’t have been able to recover their bones.

-Warning! Warning! An entity with a total combat power of 2,970 has appeared.

The red light of the retina came on.

Legion blinked.

Damn it, my eyes hurt. Why is the red light coming on? Seriously.

But a total combat power of 2,970? It’s much lower than the Ogre’s, but I instinctively felt that it was an incredibly dangerous being.

“What is it?”

-Starting scan.

The red light scanned the battlefield from Legion’s eyes.

I wish they wouldn’t do this when scanning. How should I say this? It’s very embarrassing.

-Estimated to be a Lich [an undead creature, often a powerful sorcerer, who has achieved immortality through magical means].

Lich? Ah, the boss has finally appeared. It’s a relief that he appeared quickly.

Legion smiled.

If I do well, I might be able to catch him within today. Now, let’s sort out the situation.

The Lich led the Undead army and invaded the territory.

The Orc female warriors and Zenon are also mixed in. As you can see, Vice Lord Julian has lost his mind. Well, his only son has become like that.

The people of the territory are terrified.

Then! My subordinate, Sephia, steps up and defeats them.

The people of the territory cheer, calling my name. Luck rises sharply.

The final boss, the Lich, appears.

Lich and Sephia fight to the death. Sephia defeats the Lich.

The people of the territory cheer again, calling my name.

Luck rises again.

The territory becomes rich, and many beauties admire me.

I get the most beautiful woman on the continent as my wife. I plant the seeds. Children with my genes are born in droves.

Oh, it’s a perfect scenario.

“Good. Sephia! Go. Go and finish off that Lich.”

At Legion’s cry, Sephia swung his mace and charged towards the Lich.

* * *

The Lich Mamon frowned as he watched the Ogre approaching roughly in front of him.

He was resurrected after 120 years.

He was defeated by that damn Alexander de Fessinger. Even now, he [Alexander] was so powerful that it was absurd.

Is that a human or a golem [an animated anthropomorphic being, created by magic or supernatural means]?

No black magic worked on him.

When I first saw him, I thought he was a baby Ogre, not a human. He was a whopping 2 meters 30 centimeters tall [approximately 7 feet 6 inches]. It was the first time I knew that there was such a big human.

It wasn’t just his size.

He was more agile than ordinary knights. Furthermore, his overwhelming attack power was truly overwhelming.

Mamon was caught by Fessinger and sealed.

Damn it, it was because he kicked Fessinger’s dog.

It still boils down to this even now.

Am I worse than a dog!

And the Ogre in front of me!

It’s not ordinary power. But why is he taking the side of humans? I feel dirty. Is he an Ogre raised by the Alexander family? No, can humans raise Ogres?

But it doesn’t matter.

I’ll use that Ogre to finish off Fessinger’s descendants!

Mamon raised the Dark Staff into the air. The black gem emitted light and stretched out towards Sephia.

Sephia didn’t even think about avoiding it and countered with his fist.

-Heh heh heh, as expected of a stupid Ogre.

The black light came into contact with Sephia’s fist. It didn’t explode. Instead, it seeped into Sephia’s entire body.

-Krrr (Kuh-huh, m-my head is about to break)!

Sephia knelt down.

He felt something rummaging through his head. Someone whispered to him. Obey my orders. Everything except me is your enemy.

-Krrr (It hurts, my head hurts).

The good feelings he had for Legion disappeared completely.

For some reason, anger towards him smoldered from the bottom of his heart. The anger turned into uncontrollable hatred.

Sephia felt that his emotions were strange.

Very strange. Our hyung [older brother or respected male figure] is definitely a good person, the person I like the most, and I thought I could do anything for hyung.

Why do I-

Want to kill him.

Sephia’s eyes gradually turned bloodshot.

The blood vessels all over his body bulged like those of the Orc female warriors. His mouth opened, and saliva dripped down. The already ferocious murderous intent raged even more madly.

-Kuaaaaaa!

Sephia’s Fear swept around. It was so powerful that it couldn’t be compared to the Fear from before.

The Orc female warriors near Sephia couldn’t withstand the Fear and collapsed, vomiting blood.

-Krrr.

Sephia slowly turned around. Now he was no longer looking at the Lich Mamon.

Sephia was looking at Legion, Jonas, and the humans.

His hatred and anger towards them were soaring endlessly.

“Heh heh heh heh, go. Ogre! Show your loyalty to me. Today is the day to end the damn Alexander family!”

The Lich Mamon’s eerie voice echoed throughout the territory.

-Kuaaaaaa!

Sephia charged towards the wooden fence.

The Undead, who were blocking his path, instinctively made way.

“Shoot, shoot! Stop that Ogre!”

Paind, who was in charge of the guard, gritted his teeth and shouted.

The soldiers began to pour out arrows again. Dozens of arrows poured into Sephia, cutting through the air.

But-

The arrows fired by the humans could not penetrate Sephia’s thick hide. Furthermore, Legion had put a Blessed Plate on Sephia. It was far from enough to inflict fatal wounds with arrows.

If Legion had put on steel armor, it would have been even more difficult to inflict wounds. Anyway, if arrows don’t work, then we have to engage in melee combat…

With that ignorant Ogre?

But who can engage in melee combat with an Ogre? Just being kicked would cause fatal injuries.

-Kuooh!

Sephia approached the wooden fence.

“Uwaaa! What do we do! What do we do?”

“What can we do to stop that monster!”

“We have to run away. We have to leave the territory with our families right now.”

All sorts of screams and wails erupted from above the wooden fence.

And-

Kwakwakwakwang!

Finally, Sephia rammed the wooden fence with his shoulder. The wooden fence collapsed at once. The soldiers on the wooden fence also lost their balance and fell to the cold, frozen ground.

-Kuaaaaaa!

“S, save me!”

The soldiers crawled away. Sephia raised his foot towards those soldiers.

He was going to step on them and kill them.

The people who were watching it from a distance screamed in horror.

Run away quickly!

However, no one could escape from Sephia. Paind and Shalom risked their lives and attacked Sephia, but they were hit just once each and flew dozens of meters.

“Aaaah, save me.”

The soldier who was about to be stepped on by Sephia covered his face with both hands. He didn’t want to see the giant foot crushing him.

It was then.

-Constrict! Geumgoa! [a command or spell to bind or restrict]
