Magic is Learned for Nothing – Episode 132

# 132

Night Comes 1

Lying in the inn room, Legion felt a burning in his stomach.

He had Mark scan the area, but he couldn’t find the Dark Elf kid.

“You bastard, get down! You’re a Dark Elf like that kid!”

He took his anger out on Hailer.

“Boss, that’s just a Dark Elf trait!”

Hailer stood his ground.

Ah, so stealing people’s things was a Dark Elf trait? He said it was until they became adults. That’s why Dark Elves become geniuses at hiding wallets and jewelry when they have children.

Really… what could he say?

He didn’t really do anything, so he just let it go. Ah… his anger wouldn’t subside.

-I’m here.

Mark said.

“I know.”

Fortunately, someone to vent his anger on was coming.

-There are quite a few people.

“I know.”

Legion’s mind raced. He hadn’t eaten much mithril lately because he was running around and making decisions, but thanks to his intelligence reaching 105, he could think pretty well.

Those nice bandits he met in the morning.

This suspicious territory.

And…

Sandra Bullock.

The bandits had quite a bit of drugs.

That meant there were people supplying them with drugs, and according to Sandra Bullock, there were ten such guilds in this territory. It was a fairly large territory, but that was still a lot.

Were the bandits the only ones?

If there were ten such guilds in the territory, shouldn’t there be more than ten bandit groups around the territory?

“The earldom has been too chaotic lately.”

Heinz’s words came back to him.

“Since the Earl disappeared, the power of the gangs has been increasing rapidly.”

Heinz said that after the Earl disappeared, the bad guys who had been hiding began to stir. And then the situation above. And the guys coming now…

It was certain.

This… was going to be profitable.

He didn’t want to rummage through the Dusselrup Mountains, so he tried to bypass them by heading southeast, but he caught a bigger fish than he thought.

If that’s the case, he couldn’t just leave.

-What are you going to do?

“What else? I’ll catch the guys who are coming first…”

-And then?

“I’ll hand them over to Heinz.”

-Oh! That’s a good idea. Pass on the troublesome work and take the credit.

“That’s right. Kill two birds with one stone. Hehehe! It’s been a while since I’ve had something to send to Amazon [a reference to his inventory or storage system], so are you happy?”

Legion slowly started climbing the stairs.

The sounds of the guys were gathering on the roof.

* * *

“Huh!”

The drug guild members were about to open the roof door when they made eye contact with Legion and were startled.

“Huh? Why are you guys together?”

Sandra Bullock, whose face was badly damaged, was with the bandit leader. Looking at his face, it would be better to just call him Bull.

“You bastard! So it was you! You were the one who messed with this side. Heh heh, you’re in luck. Today is your death anniversary.”

“Hmm.”

Legion stroked his chin.

Legion turned his head to Bull.

“I wanted a new face to come, but it’s a bit disappointing. But oh well, it’ll be okay. I guess I’ll just have to settle for what I have.”

He said it very openly.

“What?”

The twenty-three guild members with swords couldn’t understand what Legion was saying. The twenty bandits behind them were also terrified when they saw Legion again.

“Okay, listen to me carefully.”

“What nonsense are you talking about!”

“Shh, wait a moment if you have something to say. Listen to me first.”

Legion put his finger to his lips.

Everyone closed their mouths without realizing it.

He didn’t know what it was, but this pig had a considerable presence. And the skills he had shown a little while ago… In many ways, it was difficult and uncomfortable, but they knew that it was better to wait and see how the atmosphere flowed in situations like this.

Let Bull handle the tug-of-war with the opponent.

Even if they got hit, let Bull get hit…

“Okay, listen carefully. It’s better to put down your weapons first. Otherwise, something scary will happen.”

Legion said persuasively, gesturing.

“What do you mean?”

“Hey, Bull. Your words are too short. I told you earlier that you’ll be in big trouble if you talk like that. Why don’t you come over here?”

Legion opened his mouth more kindly.

“You guys don’t know, but you have to answer my questions correctly from now on. Otherwise, you’ll be punished so hard that tears will stream down your face. Got it?”

“What?”

“What is this guy saying?”

“You crazy bastard, just die!”

Bull, unable to contain his anger, swung his longsword.

Legion didn’t feel the need to move. His head wasn’t going to be scratched by such a carelessly swung sword. Legion thrust his head towards the trajectory of the flying sword.

Rather, it was Bull who was surprised.

“Eek!”

Bull, who didn’t intend to kill him, tried to withdraw his sword, but it was already too late. His sword struck Legion’s crown precisely, and with a bang! the blade of the longsword broke in half and flew into the air.

The guild members’ eyes were drawn to the flying sword blade.

Bull stared at his broken sword with an unbelievable expression.

Legion rubbed the area where the sword blade had struck and approached Bull.

Bull took a step back.

“W-what are you?”

“It’s okay, don’t be nervous. Why are you surprised by something like this? Okay, let’s gather again. Hey, I said come here.”

Bull glanced around.

His comrades were looking at each other. They had witnessed the bizarre scene a little while ago.

A head that could take a sword strike.

Legion shook his head as he saw the guild members approaching him.

“Don’t do that again. From now on, it won’t end with words.”

The guild members gradually gathered around Legion.

“Don’t let any of these guys escape.”

Legion said, taking out a steel staff from his chest.

Who was he talking to?

The people had puzzled expressions on their faces.

“Don’t worry, Boss. I’ll burn my hand if even one of them escapes.”

“What are you going to do with your burnt hand? Just a pay cut.”

“Huh.”

Steel looked startled at Legion’s words. But he didn’t seem too flustered.

The guild members slowly turned their heads.

Oh, already?

Four men and women blocked the four corners of the building. And a man who looked like a Dark Elf was aiming an arrow at them.

They hadn’t heard them coming up.

There was no sign of anything. Suddenly, they had a feeling that things were going wrong.

“Don’t think too much.”

Legion grinned and jumped into their midst.

Bang!

The steel staff, weighing over 30 kilograms, struck their chins.

* * *

“Aaaaargh!”

Bull ran without looking back.

Five people fell in an instant, and then three more fell. He was stunned, and then three more were hit, and after that, he had no idea what was going on.

‘A m-monster.’

That was the only thought in his head.

He thought a few attacks had succeeded, but they were thwarted by the pig’s casually swung arm, casually extended belly, and casually thrust head.

That was not a human. It was a monster in human skin.

“Aaaaargh!”

The last comrade fell.

His forehead was also spectacularly broken.

He didn’t know why he was carrying a staff, a wizard’s weapon, but was it just a club that looked like a staff?

The blades of the swords that collided with the staff were all broken.

“Aaaaargh!”

Although this was the roof.

Bull threw himself off. At best, he would break a leg.

But-

Bang!

Bull collided with something in mid-air.

Perhaps because he had run with all his might, his consciousness was cut off.

“Tsk, tsk, what is it? Why are you running into the barrier that I put up to prevent you from escaping? Can’t you see it?”

Mizset waved in the air.

A faint barrier appeared and disappeared repeatedly.

“Anyway… I’ve caught them all, Boss.”

Mizset said, looking at Legion, who was wiping the blood off the staff.

* * *

Clang, clang-

Bull shook his arm.

He slowly opened his eyes. Moonlight was shining through the window.

‘Ah, I’m still alive. Thank goodness.’

It was in a room.

A bed was visible. There were also a few simple pieces of furniture.

A portrait of the Lord of Signal was hanging on the wall. It looked like an ordinary home in the territory.

“Where the hell is this?”

The comrades woke up. They looked around with uneasy eyes and swallowed hard.

Some coughed softly, perhaps because they were very thirsty.

“Cough, cough.”

Their coughs sounded very loud.

The surprised comrades glared at the man who coughed. The man who coughed forcibly closed his mouth. But he couldn’t easily stop the cough that had already come out.

Fortunately, there was no other reaction.

“It doesn’t look like a prison.”

Bull shook the chains that were tied to his arms and legs.

It wasn’t as heavy as he thought. If he paid a little attention, he could break it and run away.

He got up from his seat.

“Heo-eok [gasping sound].”

The moment he got up, a tremendous weight grabbed his legs and pulled him down. He couldn’t get up at all. He tried to move again, but it was the same.

“This is…”

“What’s wrong?”

The comrades became more uneasy as Bull trembled.

“I think it’s magic?”

They got up from their seats and sat down in the same place as Bull. Surprised, they looked at each other’s faces.

We’re doomed.

We’re going to die.

It’s clear that we’ve been caught by those crazy psychos.

Especially that fatty.

He was definitely a psycho who liked to hit people. Look at that staff. That wasn’t a staff used by a wizard. It was just a staff made to be good for hitting people.

We’re going to be beaten to death.

Bull and his comrades finally knelt down and wept.

“More than that… isn’t this place a bit strange?”

A guy in the corner said.

“What?”

Bull retorted.

“M-my breath… is coming out.”

Bull and his comrades were startled.

The weather was approaching summer. No matter how low the temperature dropped in the early morning, it wasn’t enough for their breath to come out.

But now their breath was coming out.

“Huh! What’s going on!”

“Be quiet.”

At that moment, a gloomy voice was heard from somewhere.

The voice was so cold that no one could argue with it.

Their hair quickly froze. Frost began to form on their skin. Feeling a chill, they began to rub their arms with their palms.

“This is fun for the first time in a while.”

A hand made of bone pierced through the wall.

Bull and his comrades couldn’t scream when they saw the hand made of bone and were terrified. Some peed on the floor.

“Your fear is my strength.”

The protagonist with the hand made of bone revealed himself.

A skeleton with a hood pulled down deep, floating in the air and emitting a sinister aura, with an overwhelming presence, came into view.

Everyone froze and couldn’t move at all at the transcendental sight.

“L-Lich?”

Bull spat out as if squeezing it out.

The skeletal mouth of Lich Mamon twitched.

“Yes, I am a Lich.”

Lich Mamon stood in the center of Bull and his comrades.

The expressions of Bull and his comrades looking at him were completely blank. They had never dreamed that they would see a Lich in their lives.

Lich Mamon’s hand moved.

Then, a transparent chain flew and was placed around the necks of Bull and his comrades. Surprised, they grabbed the transparent chain and shook it, but they couldn’t move at all.

Their heads were about to explode with fear.

“If you don’t answer what I ask properly…”

Mamon quietly scanned Bull and his comrades.

“I will turn you into undead who can neither live nor die and make you wander the heavens forever.”
