Magic Is Learned For Nothing [EN]: Chapter 117

# 118

“Do you know who I am?” (2)

Baron Handel turned around, startled.

Such a large build and threatening aura! He instinctively felt this man was dangerous.

He pointed his sword at Drezzer.

“Who are you?”

Drezzer shrugged.

“I don’t think you have time to worry about me right now.”

“What?”

“It’s the first time I’ve seen our master so angry.”

“Master?”

Baron Handel couldn’t guess who Drezzer was referring to as ‘master.’

‘Could it be that fatso…’

*Thwack!*

He didn’t finish his thought.

Baron Handel’s face was smashed in. He saw what hit him: a staff. The staff was heavier than a mace. Two teeth were broken, and his nose was crushed.

Blood dripped down his face.

“Keep it down. I’m thinking here,” Legion said without even looking at him.

“It seems I need to show you the kindness of our territory that I haven’t shown you until now,” Legion said coldly. “‘Kindness,’ I say, ‘kindness.’ Yes, I’ll show you the kindness of our territory.”

“You crazy bastard!”

The knights charged at Legion. Just as blades were about to extend from their swords—

*Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Bang!*

They were engulfed in the flames Legion created.

“Aaaaargh!”

The knights rolled on the ground, but the flames didn’t go out.

“M-Magician! A magician has invaded!”

Dozens of heavy infantry preparing to advance turned their spears and swords toward Legion. They witnessed an unbelievable scene.

A white flame was rising from the shabby staff held by the fat magician.

A pure white flame…

At first, they thought it was lightning magic, then a type of fire magic. But then five heavy infantrymen who had charged were knocked away by the flame.

The armor they were wearing was sliced apart instantly.

“T-That… is that Aura [a manifestation of inner energy]?”

“N-No, it doesn’t seem like Aura… is that a Mana Blade [a weapon made of magical energy]?”

“Huh? Isn’t that a staff?”

A Mana Blade being generated from a staff? It didn’t make sense.

“Kuh-huh-huh.”

Only the knights heavily armed with Kite Shields could barely withstand Legion’s Mana Blade.

“What the hell is that!”

“I don’t know either.”

“Is he a knight? Or a magician?”

“Damn it, let’s just catch him. Kuh-huh-huh.”

“Those who set foot on my land without my permission…”

Legion pointed his finger at the approaching knights.

“Remain in the flames!”

A surprising thing happened.

The armor of the knights charging toward Legion was engulfed in flames. It was a Fire Wall attack spell. The accuracy wasn’t high, but it was a high-temperature area magic that occurred in an instant.

“Kuh-huh-heok!”

The knights dropped their weapons and melted away.

Legion twisted his lips as their armor disappeared.

“I won’t let a single one of you escape.”

Legion’s massive body slipped into the midst of the knights.

*Bam! Bam! Bam!*

The heavy steel staff struck the knights’ helmets.

The knights, whose foreheads were shattered along with their dented helmets, clutched their blood-soaked faces and collapsed to the ground.

“Kaaaagh!”

“Ugh! Save me!”

More than ten knights and heavy infantrymen were taken down in an instant.

“W-What?”

“W-What’s going on right now?”

The knights and soldiers couldn’t hide their shock.

They thought he was a magician and got hit by a Mana Blade; they thought he was a knight and left an opening, only to be hit by magic. And how could such an area magic be used like this?

This wasn’t so much an area magic as it was almost like sniping, wasn’t it?

“Kill him! Get him! Hurry!”

The knights formed Mana Blades with all their might.

The Mana Blades emitted by the three knights near Legion flew sharply toward him. But their swords didn’t even touch Legion.

“Those who have wounded my friends in my territory…”

Legion’s hand pointed at the three.

“Leave this place.”

*Kaboom! Kaboom! Kaboom! Kaboom!*

The three knights exploded in mid-air.

Their bodies were torn apart, scattering a tremendous amount of blood on the ground.

“……”

Everyone shut their mouths.

Clearly, the knights and magicians who had been through many battles knew what that magic was.

A 5th circle fire explosion magic, Explosion.

However, Explosion was more of an area attack than an attack on a single entity, but that little pig was using it with a greatly reduced range.

And three shots at the same time!

“Shocking” was the only word to describe it.

People suddenly lost the energy to attack and just stared blankly at Legion.

In the meantime, Legion grabbed the baron by the hair and turned him around to face his subordinates.

“Do you know who I am?”

“……”

“Don’t make me ask twice. Do you know who I am?”

“L-Legion, Baron Legion.”

“Yes, I am that Legion. So, as the rightful owner of this territory, I ask you: Who led the invasion of my land?”

“D-Do you think I’ll talk?”

“I don’t necessarily need to wait for your answer. There are plenty of people here who will talk.”

Legion twisted Baron Handel’s neck.

With a snap, Baron Handel’s neck turned 180 degrees. He stuck out his tongue and collapsed on the dirt floor.

Legion dusted himself off and stood up.

“You.”

Legion gestured to the heavy infantryman at the front.

“Who is it, the one who brought you here?”

“I, I am……”

“I told you not to make me say it twice.”

Legion reached out to him and tightened his grip.

“Kuh-erk!”

The heavy infantryman’s body began to twist. Seeing this, the knight behind him shouted.

“What are you looking at! Kill that madman!”

At the same time, two knights and two heavy infantrymen lunged at Legion. They quickly scattered in all directions as they charged.

‘Those who know how to fight a magician.’

Drezzer hesitated for a moment whether to help Legion or not. But he realized how futile that hesitation was when he saw Legion’s very next action.

Legion closed his eyes for a moment, rearranged his mana, and then stomped his right foot hard while chanting the incantation.

“Call the Prison!”

*Thump!*

The four who were charging stopped as if they were caught in mid-air and on the ground.

“Ugh, w-what is this!”

The enemies’ defenses plummeted.

The heavy infantrymen’s defenses hit rock bottom with a single blow. Having lost their combat power in an instant, they froze with eyes full of fear and shock.

“What kind of magic is this? I can’t defend against it!”

Someone shouted.

Only a few knights wearing armor with Runic inscriptions barely avoided the damage. They couldn’t hide their shock as they watched their comrades, who had frozen more than a dozen people at once.

An ancient 2nd circle magic.

It was magic manifested through dual casting [simultaneously casting two spells]. Seeing that, Drezzer couldn’t hide his shock.

Legion is a 5th circle magician.

He’s only 19 years old.

It was surprising that he, barely an adult, was a 5th circle magician, but what was even more surprising was the technique he had just displayed: dual multi-casting.

Even while using two types of magic in combination, he unleashed another magic with a different property.

In a word, it was an absurd ability.

The expression “high concentration” is not enough. This is like an 8-star Grand Master unleashing his best magic power while fully preserving his internal energy.

“Huh! I’ve heard there are people who use it…”

At best, only at the 3rd or 4th circle level.

Even then, it’s only to the extent of barely drawing it out in a limited state.

But to have the talent to use 5th circle magic in conjunction with sniping in actual combat! Even though he’s angry…

“He’s really terrifying…”

Drezzer looked at the enemies who had frozen in an instant and thought about what would happen next. If he left it like this, even if he was a great master, he would soon run out of mana and collapse.

‘Then I’ll be free.’

Just thinking about it makes me happy.

But what if that master does something crazy again and reverses the situation? Then what will happen to my future?

“I guess I have to step in?”

Drezzer subtly gripped his axe.

“It’ll take some bargaining, though.”

Then he rushed forward in front of Legion in an instant.

* * *

-Krrrr(Brother is here).

Sephia staggered to his feet.

He had suffered quite a few injuries, but with a brief recovery, the wounds were healing quickly. It was the ogre’s amazing recovery ability.

“Are you okay?” Bacon asked.

-Krrrr(Brother is here, I can’t lie down).

Sephia felt better.

He thought it was a battle with an end in sight, but that battle was about to end with hope instead. What more could he need? With Master and Drezzer joining, it was now difficult to lose this fight.

In particular, the enemies seemed to be in disarray.

“You bug-like bastards, attack!”

The commanders were shouting like crazy.

“Earn your keep! Hey, you bastard, where are you going!”

The knights were shouting at the mercenaries.

But the atmosphere among the mercenaries changed subtly.

It was a battle they thought they would definitely win, but in an instant, the victory seemed to slip away, and now only defeat was slowly looming before their eyes.

Then the priests began to retreat first.

After all, they were also people who came for money. They are not people who get involved in a battle they cannot win.

Then the combat power of the heavy infantry and knights who did not receive buffs dropped sharply.

In this situation—

There is no reason for the mercenaries to step forward at all.

‘Shout or don’t shout, I’m going to find my own way to survive.’

Mercenaries were slowly throwing down their swords and starting to slip out.

In addition, using that brief gap, the monster ogre and twenty-five mana warriors began to recover their stamina.

They were gulping down expensive potions worth over 10 gold each.

“Here, have this.”

Lotto and Jonaen brought a drum can.

-Don’t take it out unless you’re really about to die.

It was something the master told them not to take out unless absolutely necessary. The liquid in the drum can was all high-grade stamina potions.

-It’s worth 2,000 gold at market price.

It was a potion that Legion had haggled with the temple priest for two hours before finally buying it. The priest said that what kind of lord was such a cheapskate and sprinkled salt on Legion’s back as he left the temple.

Whether he did or not, Legion haggled down 1,000 gold and bought it for 2,000 gold.

It was enough to restore the stamina of at least 100 people at once. Sephia drank the drum can coolly.

His bloodlust gradually returned.

The bleeding also stopped.

The stamina that had hit rock bottom also began to fully recharge.

Woo-hoo! This is really good!

-Krrrr(You damn bastards. You’re all dead).

Sephia’s ogre fear exploded.

-Kuaaaaaaa!

The cavalrymen who were running towards him were surprised and fell over. As the horses fell, the cavalrymen who had fallen from their horses screamed from all directions.

-Krrrr(Let’s go)!

Sephia charged at the cavalrymen.

“Let’s go too!” Bacon shouted.

The twenty-five exclusive servants simultaneously unleashed attack magic and followed Sephia at the same time. Fireballs rained down on the cavalrymen’s heads in an instant, and in front, servants surpassing ogres and knights began to rush in.

“Damn it! 2nd unit! 2nd unit, come forward!”

“Lord… the mercenary unit…”

“What about the mercenary unit?”

“They have all retreated to the outskirts.”

“What? You sons of bitches! I’ll have your heads chopped off if you’re all caught!”

Viscount Beach’s face hardened seriously.

“Priest! Then where did the priests go!”

“They fled to the rear. There are no priests left now.”

This wasn’t a force that should have collapsed so easily! It wasn’t just a matter of numbers… the quality of the troops was definitely there too…

How could this be!

“Those bastards… They took all the money they could get! And they’re running away?”

“It’s not just them.”

“Is there something else?”

Viscount Beach gripped his sword tightly. He had miscalculated. He admitted it. If he had just taken his subordinates and attacked Baron Legion’s territory, this misfortune would not have happened.

He had hired mercenaries for a large sum of money in order to strike quickly and retreat…

Because those guys deserted the front lines, the morale of the allied forces plummeted.

“It’s Drezzer. Crazy Drezzer has appeared.”

“What?”

Viscount Beach looked at the knight who screamed in disbelief.

The one exuding overwhelming Aura—

Was ravaging his subordinates like a wolf among sheep.

It’s just one person.

It’s just one person, but his subordinates couldn’t block the attack of that monster-like man at all.
