Magic Is Learned For Nothing [EN]: Chapter 133

Magic is Learned for Nothing – 134

# 134

The Dark Elf’s Castle (1)

“Shall we take care of them?”

Haimo stepped forward, watching the four approaching figures.

“No need.”

Legion shook his head.

“I need to stretch a bit too.”

Haimo and the priests retreated, though they didn’t let their guard down. They kept their hands on their weapons, ready to assist at any moment.

Legion pulled out his heavy steel staff.

The four men emerging from the darkness spread out to the left and right. Their pace quickened, each adjusting their stride slightly.

They seemed well-versed in changing positions.

Legion slowly walked forward to meet them.

The ones floating in the air attacked first, moving their hands so fast in the darkness they were almost invisible. Something was launched.

Though unseen-

This didn’t even warrant a defensive spell. Legion casually swung his heavy steel staff.

Tadadadang! Tadadang!

As expected-

The black-tainted daggers collided with the heavy steel staff and fell to the ground.

Immediately, the men who had approached while crouching drew their swords.

To draw a sword in that posture, they must be quite skilled. It wasn’t a stance that could be used with ordinary core strength.

Speaking of core strength, I’m second to none…….

But there’s never a use for it.

Even if there were, there’s a problem. Mark, that bastard, when is he going to fix me properly? My combat power increases, but the emptiness every night grows just as much.

Flash!

Black light exploded.

It wasn’t blinding, but it felt like darkness was piercing through my entire body. Legion knew who these people were, those who used swords and energy in this way.

As his intelligence increased, experiences from parallel dimensions gradually surfaced.

Those who use darkness like light…….

Dark Elves.

Legion kicked the incoming black blade-

Bang! He kicked it away.

The masked men’s eyes showed bewilderment.

They had never imagined that there could be a human who could shatter a blade with a kick.

Their black mana blade had the disadvantage of slightly reduced power during the day, but at night like this, it was a different story.

To block an enhanced mana blade with *words*!

“H, how on earth?”

“Why do you need to know how?”

With already strong bones, powerful skin, and passive skills, Legion’s flesh was arguably the strongest in the human realm. Add to that the Tarantula Armor, and he could easily deflect attacks of this level.

The Dark Elves began to reorganize their ranks.

Legion, as if there was nothing more to see, stood in their path.

“Th, that pig…… is incredibly fast.”

*That pig is incredibly fast?*

Legion felt a deep surge of anger once again and vowed to show them the true taste of the pig.

Legion swung his heavy steel staff, sending their swords flying.

Clang!

The impact was so strong that the men holding the swords showed not just bewilderment but also astonishment.

The moment it collided with the staff, they felt like their wrists would break.

It was strength beyond common sense.

“That pig is also incredibly strong!”

“That son of a bitch called me a pig again!”

The man struck Legion’s shoulder with both fists.

Thump!

“Argh!”

Hitting the Tarantula Armor with bare hands would be quite painful. The repulsive force of the armor was considerable. Of course, the defense wasn’t reduced by even 1 point.

Rather, the opponent sprained his wrist, reducing his attack power by more than 200.

Legion grabbed him by the collar and twisted his waist.

In an instant, the man’s body rotated 360 degrees and slammed into the ground. He couldn’t move from the impact of landing headfirst.

Legion kicked the face of the man buried upside down.

Thwack!

The man flew 3-4 meters, crashed into the ground, and fainted without even a groan.

Except for the first attack, it was a one-sided fight.

The remaining men were very flustered.

“Since you insulted me, I’ll spare only one of you. The rest are dead.”

Legion strode towards the remaining Dark Elves. Mana crackled from his entire body.

The men’s faces grew increasingly grim as they sensed his unusual mana.

Suddenly-

A giant fireball formed behind Legion.

It wasn’t a low-circle magic like Fireball [a basic fire spell]. The immense heat spread in all directions as if summoning the sun.

They had never seen such magic before.

They couldn’t even guess how powerful its destructive force would be. The surprised men quickly took off their masks and raised their hands.

“So, you were Dark Elves after all?”

He didn’t know why Dark Elves were attacking him.

“I’m really surprised. You’re a much stronger pi…… person than I thought.”

“Even if you have something to say, let’s do it after you get hit.”

Legion swung his heavy steel staff at them.

Pow!

Legion is fair.

He doesn’t discriminate by not hitting some and hitting others.

He beats them all equally.

“Kuh-huh-huh!”

“L, let’s talk. Let’s talk.”

“You don’t even say you’re sorry.”

“Actually, it was just a kind of test.”

“Ugh, I’m a woman, you know.”

Legion is an advocate for gender equality. He doesn’t go easy on women.

He beats them all equally.

-The opponents have lost their will to fight.

-They are sincerely regretting attacking you.

-They are feeling fear towards you.

-They hate you.

-They are starting to resent you for being beaten too much.

-Their eyes are rolling back. They’re out of their minds. Hit me if you dare, that’s their state.

“Ho-oh! Hit me if I dare? Okay, take a hit if you can.”

Legion didn’t stop his hands.

Pow! Pow! Pow!

-Their will is broken again.

-They are thinking, ‘I should never mess with this bastard again.’

Still, Legion’s hands didn’t stop.

Mizsett shuddered as she watched the Dark Elves being beaten.

She was reminded of her past self, recklessly challenging the president without knowing any better. She saw her own image reflected in them.

Especially when she was hung upside down and beaten at Paring’s mansion, she felt so humiliated that she thought it would be better to die.

She didn’t understand why those guys were stirring up trouble by bothering the president who was minding his own business.

* * *

The four Dark Elves knelt down, tears streaming down their faces.

“So, you came to show me gratitude?”

“Yes.”

“But why did you attack me?”

“That’s……”

Legion picked up the heavy steel staff again.

* * *

The four Dark Elves knelt down, tears streaming down their faces, and sniffled.

“So, you came to show me gratitude?”

“Yes.”

“Why?”

“Because you saved Rene.”

“Who’s Rene?”

“My sister.”

She was a Dark Elf with remarkable beauty.

A delicate figure with a pure and innocent feel. Even the eyes that unconsciously stimulated a protective instinct. She was truly a beautiful Dark Elf.

But Legion beat her without discrimination.

Her face was so swollen from being beaten that it obscured her beauty.

-I’ve re-evaluated you. How can you beat a woman like that?

She targeted me. If I had stayed still, I might have died.

-You didn’t have any murderous intent in the first place.

I didn’t. So, I was going to deal with her lightly. But I was enraged by the word ‘pig’.

“And I don’t hit pretty women either.”

Sorry to say, but you have a face that begs to be punched.

-Wow! Your aesthetic sense is really a problem.

Unless you learn a skill comparable to ‘Dieting is bad for your health’ soon, you might end up marrying a passing elephant.

“So, who is Rene?”

Legion asked the female elf.

“Rene is my younger sister. She said you saved her recently. She said you were one of the very few trustworthy people in this crazy city. My introduction was late. My name is Natalie.”

“Rene is a tiny little elf? With a mole under her eye and hair this long?”

“That’s right.”

Natalie nodded.

Now that they knew who they were, she thought the other party would let go of their anger. But that was her miscalculation.

Legion took out the heavy steel staff he had put away again.

“Wh, why?”

Natalie and the Dark Elves’ faces turned pitch black. They sensed that the atmosphere was unusual.

“No, no. Wait a minute.”

Legion answered nonchalantly and twisted his waist from side to side. This seemed like a warm-up…….

“It’s nothing much, but your sister stole my wallet.”

“What? What are you……”

Legion swung the heavy steel staff up and down this time. It was truly a threatening sight.

“I went out of my way to save her, and she steals her benefactor’s wallet? And you guys come to say thank you and attack me out of the blue.”

“We, we just wanted to check your skills. Someone of your skill level would know that we didn’t have any murderous intent, right?”

“Okay, I’ll admit you didn’t have murderous intent. But what if I couldn’t dodge?”

“Um, we’re sorry about that. We were careless.”

Natalie admitted honestly. And continued.

“I’ll apologize for my sister stealing your wallet too.”

She took out money from her pocket.

“I’ll compensate you too.”

“Compensate? Okay, compensate me. You know that if you steal money, you have to pay back three times as much, right? That’s the kingdom law.”

Originally, the kingdom law stated that it was twice as much. It was stipulated that if you didn’t have money, you could pay with your body.

The Dark Elves had no way of knowing that.

“Th, three times?”

“Yes.”

Natalie gritted her teeth.

It was a mistake her sister had made against her life’s savior. She had to compensate. She nodded.

“Okay. I’ll pay it back. Three times.”

“Good. Give it to me. 30,000 gold.”

Legion held out his palm to Natalie.

Natalie placed 30 gold on Legion’s hand. It was all the money she had saved while working part-time in the city disguised as a human for several months.

Legion snorted as he looked at the gold coins in his palm.

“What’s this?”

“What do you mean? It’s 30 gold. Isn’t that enough?”

“Didn’t you hear me? I said 30,000 gold.”

“…….”

All the Dark Elves cupped their ears. Did they mishear? How much?

“Your sister stole 10,000 gold. If you don’t give it to me right now, you’ll regret it.”

At Legion’s words, the Dark Elves’ expressions stiffened beyond words.
