Magic Is Learned For Nothing [EN]: Chapter 201

# 202

Kingdom of the Night 2

Dreyzaire stared at the two crystals before him.

The master had brought them since dawn, knocking on his door. *Where* on earth did these crystals come from? He had heard that crystals were not easy to obtain.

He had never been apart from his master until now.

His master had no time to get crystals.

He hadn’t seen him go out anywhere either.

‘Ah, do they grow on trees? Are there any around here?’

He had no idea. How *are* these crystals made, anyway?

They truly *are* incredibly magnificent gems.

To raise a person’s innate abilities!

The master’s ability to obtain such gems is worthy of respect. But how, where, and in what manner he procures them remains shrouded in mystery.

He was very curious.

The time he had been apart from his master was only a day.

“Did he make two crystals in this short amount of time? Just how far does the master’s ability reach?”

Dreyzaire clicked his tongue.

His endless abilities were frightening. All stats were growing faster than he could have imagined.

That’s why the exclusive servants respect their master even more madly. No, now they were beyond respect, idolizing him.

Sometimes he wondered if his master was really a Demon King.

Damn it, I’m a Dark Great General.

“But… he didn’t seem to be in a good mood. Did something happen?”

Dreyzaire recalled the master’s appearance when he brought him the crystals.

The look in his eyes, visible through the helmet, was very fierce and sharp.

‘You too, shall feel the same pain as I do.’

Of course, Dreyzaire didn’t know anything about Legion’s pain.

He only felt that he was an amazing and powerful master.

“Okay. First, let’s purify our minds before eating the crystals.”

Dreyzaire took a hot shower.

Thanks to the vampire servants bringing a considerable amount of hot water, he was able to wash away the grime that had accumulated while he was tied up.

And he used the ‘Shampoo of the Gods’ borrowed from the Dragon Lair for the first time.

‘Divine Authority’ was activated.

The bathroom was filled with the scent of the shampoo.

The scent filled the inside of the building. The vampires who smelled the scent danced with happiness. If they met a partner now, they would fall in love immediately.

Of course, Dreyzaire was completely unaware of this.

After showering, Dreyzaire looked in the mirror and smoothed his hair.

“As expected… the effect is amazing since it’s a shampoo used by dragons.”

Dreyzaire was satisfied.

His hair shone with a glossy sheen after just one use. *It’s* too precious to use this shampoo often. I should only use it about once a month.

Having completed all preparations, Dreyzaire sat on the bed in a lotus position.

He took a deep breath and swallowed the two crystals at once.

None of the crystals the master had given him so far had been bad. It would be the same this time.

-Legion-nim’s crystal is being disassembled.

Ooh! It started.

-Weeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Doo-geun, doo-geun.

This is the moment when his heart beats the fastest. The anticipation of what will come out reminds him of the time he was supposed to meet his first love.

-The active skill ‘Luck is in Your Arms’ has been created. The ‘Luck is in Your Arms’ skill, created with a ‘special’ crystal, will bring you great luck.

What is this?

Dreyzaire tilted his head, not knowing what it meant.

-Tting! You can choose three things here. This is related to all your luck. You are lucky, congratulations~ congratulations!

Letters appeared in Dreyzaire’s cornea.

It read:

-Intelligence +5.

-Stamina +500.

-Overall Combat Power +2000.

-Luck +10.

-Magic Power +3 percent.

What is this?

Dreyzaire blinked in surprise.

Until now, all he got was +1 intelligence when he ate one. But what is this? +5 intelligence? And choose two more? Wow!

I could become a wizard?

Magic power increases by a whopping 3 percent.

Such an unbelievable increase in ability. If magic power increases by 3 percent in the current situation, it’s worth trying the Dragon Slayer’s Formula 5.

What are stamina and overall combat power?

If it’s the same level as a 3 percent increase in magic power, that must be amazing too.

Wow! What should I choose?

I have to choose a 3 percent increase in magic power no matter what.

This is an incredible power directly related to combat. Stamina? Overall combat power? I want to raise them.

I also want to raise intelligence.

What should I do? Let’s raise intelligence for the second one. Dreyzaire clearly remembered the feeling of becoming smarter when he raised his intelligence.

One last thing.

Should I raise overall combat power? Or stamina?

Dreyzaire pondered seriously. And he remembered one phrase.

‘It is related to the luck you have.’

Luck…….

That thing I thought I would never have in my life.

Is luck finally coming back to me from now on? When I think about it, it seems like it was after I met Legion in some ways.

Okay, let’s raise luck.

Dreyzaire chose three things.

“First, a 3 percent increase in magic power.”

Kwaaang!

As soon as he pressed it, an explosive energy spread out from Dreyzaire’s dantian [energy center in the body, according to traditional Chinese medicine].

Dreyzaire was so surprised that he looked around.

His body became surprisingly light. His whole body is full of energy. Ah, Legion-nim. Just how far does your ability reach?

“Second, intelligence.”

Jiiiiing——!

His head cleared in an instant. He began to understand everything that had been blurry. This is the world that intelligent guys see.

Ah, I have to go meet the World Tree.

“Finally, luck!”

-Congratulations. You have selected all three.

-Your magic power will clear away those who block your path, your intelligence will guide you to a better world, and your luck will brush away the misfortunes that come into your life. However, be careful as misfortune may go to your closest acquaintance.

Closest acquaintance?

The closest acquaintance Dreyzaire thought of was the youngest priest, ‘Count Persimmon.’ Well, he’s having a hard time because he’s not intelligent, so he seems to be a bit unlucky.

But that was Dreyzaire’s delusion.

His closest acquaintance was Legion.

Thanks to him, the highest-level spirit of misfortune landed on Legion’s shoulder, who was just about to escape from the swamp of misfortune.

The spirit looked at Legion with pitiful eyes.

‘Poor human… I thought he was going to be okay now.’

* * *

Legion had a nightmare.

“Ughhhhh.”

It was a dream where all sorts of miscellaneous misfortunes were coming towards him.

He raised his iron sword and struck the approaching misfortunes. Unfortunately, the misfortunes did not disappear. They didn’t die and came again, wrapping around Legion’s body.

“Aaaaaaagh!”

Legion woke up with a rough breath.

Pudddeudeuk-

Was it because he moved too quickly?

Both legs of the bed snapped with a thud. The bed sank to the floor with a thud. If this had been a wooden house, it would have broken through to the floor below.

Fortunately, this was a stone house.

It was sturdy enough to withstand Legion’s weight.

“Huk, huk.”

Ssibal [Korean slang, similar to “shit” or “damn”], that dream was terribly scary.

Ttok, ttuk, ttuk, ttuk-

A knock was heard.

Legion forced himself to get up. Ah, it’s slowly getting used to it, but this armor… it’s really annoying.

-Just wait a bit. As a result of scanning your body, your body is settling down normally. Magic is really amazing.

“Really? That’s a relief.”

-But the problem is the face…….

“What about the face?”

-It is not recommended to become unrealistically handsome.

Are you jealous?

-What jealousy. You’ll find out later when you take off your helmet.

“What about the height?”

-The height seems to be over 185 [approximately 6’1″]. Chuka chuka! [Korean for “Congratulations!”]

Okay!

Legion clenched his fist.

He’s said to be the strongest handsome man ever. I can never give that up. Anyway, I can use the coolness explosion now. Hehehe!

-There’s something you’re forgetting… your height has increased, but you haven’t lost weight yet.

“Heok!”

Legion blinked in surprise. How could he have forgotten that? He must have forgotten the weight limit because he was so surprised by the height.

At this rate, it’s all for nothing…….

-Go on a diet.

Damn it! No, why don’t I lose weight when I carry hundreds of kilograms?

-Originally, there are people who gain weight even if they only drink water. Find a mineral that helps you lose weight.

I’m done! Have you ever seen a mineral that makes you lose weight?

-There wasn’t.

Then what do you want me to do?

-Don’t worry. Since there are minerals that make you gain weight, there must be minerals that make you lose weight. Maybe Blood Oriharukon has that function.

…….

Legion was frustrated.

If Blood Oriharukon only has that much ability, I’ll be too disappointed.

Have I been living too comfortably all this time?

Why does God give me trials again? What did I do wrong?

-I will collect data and find a way to lose your weight.

“I have to trust you again… my fate must be really bad.”

Ttok, ttuk, ttuk, ttuk-

The knock was heard again.

“I’m going out. I’m going out.”

Legion frowned and opened the door roughly. It must be Dreyzaire or Sharonz.

But it was neither of them.

A handsome man he had never seen before was standing in front of him.

-Oh, he looks like Kang Dong-won [famous South Korean actor].

Stop talking about people I don’t know.

-Sorry.

The two men standing next to the handsome man were very surprised to see Legion. They quickly blocked the handsome man.

“Who are you?”

“…….”

Legion frowned. Who knocked? If they ask me who I am, what should I say?

“Who are you!”

The bodyguards shouted. They were about to stab Legion at any moment.

“Stop it. It is not the job of a True Ancestor vampire to harass guests.”

Do people harass people who come as guests? Don’t vampires usually call people as guests and suck their blood?

“Ha, haona [likely a mispronunciation of “hajiman,” Korean for “but” or “however”].”

“It’s okay.”

At the handsome man’s words, the bodyguards sighed and put their swords back into their scabbards. They glared at Legion fiercely. It was like they were saying they would cut off his head if he did anything wrong.

“So, who are you guys?”

“I am Spielberg.”

“Spielberg?”

This bastard, his last name isn’t Stephen, is it?

“Yes, I am Elsa’s second son.”

“…….”

Legion didn’t understand what he was saying at all. Elsa? Who is Elsa?

* * *

Spielberg and Sharonz were sitting in Legion’s room.

Spielberg slowly observed Legion. He was indeed a human with considerable pressure. His murderous intent was so strong that even he, a vampire, found it difficult to face him head-on.

But he was a person Sharonz brought.

His youngest sister said he was the most trustworthy person. He didn’t want to trust humans, but it was difficult to ignore his sister’s words.

Honestly, is this really a trustworthy human?

He looks like a guy who has killed at least thousands of people?

It was really difficult to believe that he was a trustworthy person when looking at this murderous and violent energy.

Legion tapped the table and asked nonchalantly.

“So, you’re telling me to deal with your brother?”

Legion spoke in the voice of Sergeant Kim who had returned from hell [a reference to a harsh and demanding military figure].

Spielberg was so surprised when he heard his voice that he trembled.

Sharonz was the same.

Even though they had been together for more than half a month, she still couldn’t get used to that voice. It felt like listening to the pain of scraping an iron plate against her ear.

“That’s right.”

“Why should I do that?”

“Didn’t you say you would help my sister?”

“Eh?”

Legion pondered for a moment. He didn’t think he said he would help… but there’s Blood Oriharukon…….

“Yes, helping and dealing with your brother are a bit different, aren’t they?”

“There’s no difference. That’s exactly what helping my sister is.”

Legion frowned at Spielberg’s rude tone. He glanced at Sharonz.

Is your brother always like that?

Sharonz blushed and lowered her head.

I’m sorry. I’ll apologize for him.

“Okay. Let’s say that’s the case. What do you mean by dealing with him? Should I attack him? Prevent him from attending an important meeting? Or cause trouble by picking a fight?”

“I heard there’s one more person in your group.”

“Yeah, there is. So what? Why don’t you just say what you want to say?”

“I want you two to attack my brother.”
