Magic is Learned for Nothing – Episode 182

# 182

In the Vortex (1)

Kukukukukukung!

The clock tower swayed.

It was the clock tower that had stood in that spot for decades. It was over 30 meters tall, a very old building whose sturdiness was hard to describe.

That clock tower swayed and then began to collapse all at once.

The roar was tremendous.

Assassin Pil-bae was hiding in the clock tower and was crushed to death, but no one cared about that.

Because the fact that the clock tower collapsed was what mattered.

The street, which had been like a festival, became quiet in an instant.

It was like pouring cold water on it. The adults who were born and raised there pointed to the collapsed clock tower, moving only their mouths like goldfish.

“Th-th-th…….”

“The clock tower has collapsed.”

“Who on earth did this?”

“I saw it. That man in black armor swung his sword and knocked down the clock tower.”

“Knock down the clock tower with a sword? Does that make sense?”

“I’m serious. He knocked down the clock tower with a sword.”

People couldn’t help but be shocked.

Legion turned his head to the people. The elderly and weak, whose hearts were weak, fell one by one as they met Legion’s eyes.

“It’s a demon! A demon has appeared!”

“A demon has invaded our territory!”

“We need to call the Knights! Quickly!”

A commotion broke out.

People picked up the fallen elderly and ran.

“Mom! Mom!”

In an instant, as it turned into a scene of chaos, the children who lost their mother’s hands burst into tears.

“I am!”

Legion’s lion’s roar erupted.

His thunderous voice filled the coastal road.

Sergeant Kim’s voice, returning from hell, was enough to throw everyone into a panic.

Even those who used magic found it hard to bear Legion’s voice.

Ordinary people didn’t even need to be told. Those with weak courage also lost their minds and collapsed along with the elderly.

“I am Death’s Butcher, Don Deckman!”

Legion continued to speak.

“D-Don Deckman? Who is that?”

“Not ‘Ddong’ but ‘Don.’ Don Deckman.”

“Heok, that Don Deckman? The one who beheaded 1,000 people in the South?”

“That’s right. That Don Deckman.”

“No, why is such a murderer here?”

“I don’t know.”

People looked at Legion with fear-mixed eyes.

Perhaps because there was such a large crowd, they couldn’t even think of running away.

“I will now begin the massacre. Everyone, try your best to escape.”

Legion lowered his voice as he spoke. Although it was a low voice, there was no one who didn’t hear it.

There were still eyes full of disbelief.

Legion threw the iron sword.

Swaeeeeek!

The intensely flying iron sword struck the building where another sniper was hiding. It was a two-story wooden house on the corner.

Kwakwakwakwakwang!

He had cast the ‘Explode on Touch’ magic on the iron sword.

It was a different version of the Explosion magic.

The iron sword exploded the moment it touched the two-story wooden house. The sniper, who was watching the strangely unfolding situation, failed to respond properly and was caught up in the explosion.

Kukukukukukung!

The two-story house collapsed and was engulfed in flames.

Legion used Telekinesis to recover the iron sword.

“Th-th-that’s… Sword Aura. I know it! Only knights of 7-star level or higher can use Sword Aura. That murderer used Sword Aura. We’re all going to die! We have to run away!”

Someone shouted in a voice full of fear. He started running without looking back.

Fear is like a disease.

It spreads quickly.

The people gathered on the coastal road were instantly infected with fear. They screamed and ran away from the coastal road. It didn’t even take a minute for those many people to disappear from the coastal road.

“Sword Aura, my ass.”

Legion smirked.

Thanks to the fact that people were misunderstanding as they pleased, the work became easier.

Now the stage was set.

Loweschool popped out from the 5-story building on the coastal road.

About ten bodyguards were protecting him. He seemed very angry.

“You son of a bitch! What the hell are you doing!”

Loweschool pointed at Legion. Unspeakable swear words poured out of his mouth.

Legion struck ‘Raiden’ above their heads.

Although it didn’t have the power of the Actis skill ‘Electrification’ and the delay time was much longer than expected, it was still useful in its own way. Why is it okay to use Raiden, but Electrification causes electric shock?

I wish I knew the reason.

Are the qualities of the two electric shocks different?

Kwajjijijijijik!

Loweschool and the ten bodyguards were hit by the electric shock magic without any countermeasures.

They looked at Legion with unbelievable eyes.

“M-Magic? How on earth……?”

“What do you mean, how? You committed a sin, so the heavens are angry.”

“The heavens are angry! What does that mean!”

“What do you mean, what does it mean? It means you guys are bad guys. Eat this.”

Legion fired Raiden once again. All the remaining bodyguards collapsed.

“Actually, I’m a wizard.”

“A w-wizard?”

“Yeah, I’m a wizard.”

“N-No way… How can a wizard wear armor… carry a sword.”

“Is there a law that says wizards can’t wear armor and carry swords? If there is a law, show it to me.”

There isn’t.

Such a law.

Yeah, come to think of it, there was no law that said wizards couldn’t carry swords. Of course, I thought wizards would carry staves or wands.

“S-Surely… you… aren’t you Don Deckman?”

“Bingo. You finally got it right. I don’t know why you keep calling me Don Deckman.”

“Y-You… liar.”

“What are you talking about? I never said I was Don Deckman. I was just standing still, and you guys came and gave me money and called me Don Deckman-nim [a respectful title]. I’d like to see him once. Who Don Deckman is.”

“Y-Y-You……”

Loweschool finally couldn’t bear his resentment and collapsed to the floor. The other bodyguards had already collapsed and couldn’t get up. The same was true for Loweschool.

Raiden fell on top of him once again.

Perhaps they will never be able to get up again.

* * *

The Great Sage Baserababab and the Guardian Magic Trio hijacked a carriage and escaped from the inner castle.

Thirty Super Senior Knights were sacrificed while escaping the castle.

They were talents too precious to die like this.

How much money and effort had the kingdom poured into raising them?

Each and every one of them was a knight who could protect the kingdom.

They were not people who would have their lives taken away so futilely. But the opponent doesn’t care about such things.

It seemed that they were intent on taking Baserababab’s life no matter what sacrifice they had to make.

“Cough, cough.”

Joint, who was driving the carriage, coughed violently. Blood spurted from his mouth.

He was poisoned.

He was poisoned despite taking precautions in advance. Even using detoxification magic was useless. It was a poison they didn’t know. Well, Baserababab and the Guardian Magic Trio were also excellent at detoxification magic.

There was no way they would have used clumsy poison.

Fortunately, the poison was diluted, so it wasn’t immediately fatal, but thanks to that, his magic power dropped to less than half.

He had to endure in this state until he was detoxified.

“Die!”

“I’ll catch you!”

On the narrow road, dozens of mercenaries jumped down from the rooftops of buildings on both sides, wielding swords. Each of them had eyes that seemed to disregard their lives.

“Damn it! Blood Rain!”

Overlock cast fire magic.

Dozens of sharp fireballs were created around the carriage and fell like meteors, piercing through the bodies of the mercenaries.

“Keuheok.”

“Keokeokeok!”

Soon after, their bodies caught fire.

But-

The mercenaries didn’t die easily. They exploded as soon as they fell to the ground.

Kwakwakwakwakwang!

The carriage, caught in the explosion, shook.

“Damn it! Aegis Shield!”

God’s Shield Gunflake spread a barrier with both hands. The entire carriage was enveloped in a blue barrier.

Kukukukukukung!

The mercenaries’ corpses collided with the barrier and exploded in succession.

“The guys have self-destruct devices hidden in their bodies. It’s not magic. The power is about the 4-circle explosion magic of the fire system. We can block it for now, but it will be dangerous if it continues any longer.”

Gunflake shouted.

As he said, the barrier protecting the carriage continued to fluctuate. It seemed like the barrier would break at any moment.

It was Gunflake, called the Shield of God.

If he used his maximum magic power, he could cover an entire building with an Iron Shield. But now that he was poisoned, the best he could do was 4-circle defense magic.

It was impossible to use any more magic power.

“What should we do?”

Overlock said with anxious eyes.

“Let’s watch the situation for now.”

Baserababab said briefly.

He forcibly suppressed a sigh. He didn’t even know that the situation would get this bad.

Yes, he expected that they would aim for him. So he made thorough preparations.

But he never imagined that the opponent would kill Count Office and the nobles.

Who is Count Office?

He is the lord of the port city of CM.

He is a capable person recognized by the royal family.

He was a noble who was helpful whether he was in the King’s faction or the Duke’s faction. That’s why everyone wants to maintain a friendship with him.

They mercilessly killed such Count Office. Along with all the retainers who followed him. And they put that terrible incident on him.

There were an enormous number of witnesses.

It was not easy to get out of it even with the title of Great Sage.

Baserababab couldn’t see ahead.

Even if he was lucky enough to survive here-

The Continent Duke’s side will hold him accountable for killing Count Office.

The only way to prevent that is power.

‘Civil War.’

Perhaps it was the situation that the Continent Duke wanted. Because it would create a justification for overturning the kingdom.

But he couldn’t be caught and killed here.

If he dies, the center of the people who serve the Crown Prince will disappear. They will be annihilated and defeated by the Continent Duke.

Either way-

It’s a checkmate.

“Hold on tight to the carriage!”

Joint shouted.

A barricade was set up at the end of the road. It seemed impossible to break through with the carriage.

But he couldn’t stop the carriage.

The mercenaries were already beyond death, holding only one sword and jumping from the rooftops of the buildings without rest.

“Fire Blast! Fire Lancer! Fire Spear!”

Overlock, the Crimson Magician, cast magic like crazy. Again, dozens of mercenaries were hit by fire magic and exploded.

Kwajjijijijijik-

Their self-destruction gave a huge shock to the entire carriage. In the end, Gunflake’s defense magic was completely torn apart. Now they were directly exposed to the mercenaries’ self-destruction attacks.

“Damn it.”

A curse word came out of Gunflake’s mouth, who always maintained his dignity.

The situation was not good at all.

Swaeeeeeeek!

“It’s an arrow attack. Everyone, duck your heads!”

Joint, who was holding the reins, shouted. The mercenaries who had set up a barricade in front of him fired arrows all at once.

Joint urgently spread a barrier and bounced off a considerable number of arrows.

“Keuheuk.”

However, he couldn’t block all the arrows. One arrow was stuck in his thigh.

He gritted his teeth and pulled out the arrow. A huge amount of blood gushed out.

The carriage floor was soaked with blood.

“I’m just going to crash. Everyone, prepare for the impact.”

Joint made up his mind.

He couldn’t stop the carriage here. As soon as he stopped the carriage, he would become food for the self-destructing mercenaries.

He would rather crash into it as it is.

He only needed to buy a little time to escape the Great Sage Baserababab.

“Hyah! Hyah!”

Joint whipped the horses. The horses ran fiercely.

It was then.

Kwakwakwakwakwang!

The barricade that the mercenaries had piled up high collapsed all at once.
