Magic is Learned for Nothing – Episode 221

# 221

Doesn’t Dawn Ever Come? (1)

Kukukukukung!

Legion clicked his tongue. He thought that a 6-circle mage would be quite skilled, but… he had severely underestimated him.

Lukas’s power, combined with that Staff Catgirl, was truly immense. In terms of raw destructive power, he was comparable to Mammon.

Once again, he thought about the strongest staff in history, whose name he didn’t even know.

*Amadeus and himself, joining hands and casting magic.*

*Building a picturesque house on that blue meadow and casting magic with a beauty like Amadeus?*

It was truly a magnificent scene, like a landscape painting.

Swaeeeeeeeeeeek!

Kukukukukung!

The blue flashes struck the castle in rapid succession.

However, the flashes exploded and dissipated before reaching the castle.

A transparent barrier rippled and surged like a wave. It showed a slight tremor, but soon returned to its original state.

“This is no ordinary barrier. Catgirl! Keep going!”

The bombardment continued.

Dozens of blue flashes were fired continuously, and the barrier steadfastly blocked them. Vampires who were spreading their wings and flying around the castle were hit by the blue flashes and disappeared without a trace.

6-circle red magic.

Truly a sight to behold.

*Wait! I have a great idea. What if I had a double staff? Wouldn’t that be magic X4?*

*Oh! That would be awesome!*

*I could do everything myself. Who needs a one-man army? That’s what a one-man army is.*

“We need to break the barrier. My magic can’t break it.”

Lukas said, twitching his white eyebrows.

“If your magic can’t break it… then we’ll have to resort to a physical attack.”

Lukas glanced at Legion.

He didn’t know how skilled he was, but it didn’t seem like he could break that barrier.

He shook his head.

“I’m sorry, but it won’t be easy. But why did Spielberg do this in the first place?”

Legion told him about Spielberg’s ambition.

But he left out the most important part. Lukas couldn’t help but be curious.

Legion was also curious about it. What was so great about it that he would destroy his family like this?

When you think about it, all these tragedies started with the ‘Black Dragon’s Blood’.

“Do you know about the Black Dragon’s Blood?”

Legion asked.

Lukas’s eyebrows twitched at the mention of the Black Dragon.

“Of course, I know about it.”

“Then let me ask you something. What *is* the Black Dragon that’s causing all this chaos?”

Legion didn’t know what the Black Dragon was.

At first, he thought it was a type of Black Dragon. But it didn’t seem to be the case. If it were, he would have called it something like ‘Black Dragon’s something’. He wouldn’t have just called it the Black Dragon.

“The Black Dragon… refers to a demonic beast from the Demon World that has manifested in the body of a Black Dragon.”

“A demonic beast from the Demon World?”

“Yes, but you shouldn’t think of it as *just* a demonic beast.”

*That’s probably right. Demonic beasts are just creatures raised by the demons.*

“The demonic beast Capolla. The demonic beast of gluttony. It wasn’t born as a living being. It was born from the gathering of the emotion of hunger.”

“Does that make sense?”

“It doesn’t make sense. The very fact that a living being can be born like that defies logic. But let’s ignore the plausibility. If we nitpick, the very birth of our human race is full of errors.”

“I see.”

Legion nodded.

“Anyway, it seems that the guy who was born from emotion was discovered by a Demon World noble and raised.”

“Is that so? Interesting. So?”

Legion gave an unknown sinister smile.

Fortunately, Lukas couldn’t see Legion’s sinister smile.

“It’s a beast of instinct. At first, it is said to have eaten rats and small creatures. Perhaps it was quite clever, as it wasn’t caught by its owner even after 10 years. But as it grew larger, it seems it wasn’t satisfied with small creatures like rats and cats.”

“Hmm, so?”

“It gradually increased in size, and eventually, it seems it started hunting demons. Demons have considerable magical power from birth. So much so that you can easily see 7-circle mages. If the Demon World and the Interworld were opened under the same conditions, it is generally accepted that even dragons couldn’t stop them. Capolla ate those demons. Very secretly.”

“It seems he didn’t just eat them.”

“That’s right. The demonic beast absorbed the knowledge and abilities of the demons.”

“A terrifying guy.”

“That’s right. He’s a really terrifying guy. He became strong in the blink of an eye. Later, he even ate the owner who raised him. He absorbed all of his abilities. It was the moment when an ordinary demonic beast gained authority. The Demon World was turned upside down. All the Demon World lords and Demon World legions moved to catch only the demonic beast Capolla. It was the outbreak of the Demon World War. The unprecedented battle between the 99 million Demon World legions and the Demon World demonic beast Capolla.”

“The result?”

“Capolla’s defeat. But it seems Capolla didn’t die. A part of his authority remained and fled to the Interworld [the realm between the human world and the demon world]. That authority ate the Black Dragon Cassias. That’s the Black Dragon. Capolla, who obtained the body of the Black Dragon, began to devour again. It is said that he was about to devour all life on the continent. The destruction of humanity was not important to him at all. Only his own value was important! Do you know how many kingdoms were destroyed by him?”

Legion shook his head.

He only knew that a great disaster had occurred on the continent, but he didn’t know the details. That’s why Lauzel was crying out that humans should learn history.

“All but two kingdoms and empires were destroyed.”

“Ah….”

“It wasn’t an empire at the time. It was the Kingdom of Chronos. They gathered knights and mages from other defeated kingdoms. All races joined forces. The battle for the fate of the continent began. You know the result, right?”

“Yes, I know a little after that. The battle was won, and the five races divided and sealed the Black Dragon’s clone.”

“That’s right. The five races divided and sealed the Black Dragon’s clone. It is said that they kept secret who took the Black Dragon in preparation for any possible situation. No one knows who the secret organizations of the five races are now.”

Legion frowned.

*Then why are those crazy Stone Head cultists trying to awaken the Black Dragon?*

*They’re all going to go into the Black Dragon’s belly.*

“That’s the Black Dragon. Then can I ask you one thing? Why are you asking about the Black Dragon now?”

“You… didn’t know.”

“Know what?”

“That your family was one of those five races?”

“Huh?”

Lukas was genuinely surprised.

“Didn’t you know?”

“No….”

“You were an outcast.”

*Outcast…….*

Lukas felt a surge of sorrow. It seemed that everyone knew. Only he didn’t know. He had no excuse even if he was accused of being an outcast.

He was so embarrassed in front of his brother.

“Are you saying that the Black Dragon’s clone is sealed here?”

“That’s right. The Black Dragon’s Blood.”

“Ahhh.”

Once again, a groan flowed from Lukas’s mouth. The Black Dragon’s Blood is a product of curse and madness. It can be a weapon of mass slaughter.

“Our clan is in great danger.”

“Maybe.”

*It’s really dangerous.*

Legion wanted to ask Lukas, ‘Do you have any other jewels besides Blood Orichalcum [a mythical metal said to be of divine origin]?’

He couldn’t bring himself to say it.

“We have to finish our clan’s work. Please help us.”

*I don’t want to,* those words lingered in his mouth.

He was already in a position to help Sharonz, but he was annoyed at the thought of helping someone else. At least Sharonz offered Blood Orichalcum, but this guy is just talking?

“I know you’re not greedy.”

*-What are you talking about? You don’t seem to know that Legion is the embodiment of desire!*

*Be quiet! Shut up!*

“You saw it well, I don’t have any interest in money. All I have is faith. I can risk my life for what I think is right. I think you’re very right now.”

“Ahhh! Brother!”

Chicken poop-like tears dripped from Lukas’s eyes.

“I swear.”

What?

“I have nothing to give you. But people like you deserve to be respected. There is some inheritance in my name here.”

Inheritance?

Legion’s ears perked up.

“I’ll give it to you.”

“No, it’s okay. You don’t have to overdo it.”

“No. It’s my sincerity. Please accept it.”

“If that’s what you want, I’ll take it.”

Legion nodded politely.

“But words can change at any time, so let’s write a contract.”

“A contract?”

“That’s right. The situation is what it is, but we have to make sure and move on.”

Legion took out a crumpled contract from his arms. He always carries a contract for emergencies.

Lukas had the strange experience of signing a contract to transfer all the inheritance given to him in the middle of the battlefield.

He took the first step of disaster.

“You won’t be able to stop it with your strength yet. Let’s go. We have to stop the Black Dragon’s Blood from awakening.”

Legion, who was in a good mood after seeing the contract, shouldered his iron sword and started walking ahead.

“I will assist you.”

Lukas, who had a ghost-like expression, cast a powerful magic.

Some vampires who had their livers out of their stomachs fluttered their black wings and rushed in, but were instantly annihilated by Catgirl.

*She looks quite cute on the outside, but the magic she uses is terribly cruel.*

But they soon stopped walking.

Kukukukukukung!

Black magic that transcends imagination began to soar endlessly towards the sky.

*That’s not dark magic.*

*It’s much deeper and darker.* The black magic instantly devoured the powerful barrier surrounding the palace.

“…Something’s wrong. This is… something really amazing is awakening.”

Lukas groaned.

Cold sweat ran down Legion’s spine as well. He had never seen magic with such intense murderous intent.

It literally transcends imagination.

This black magic stretched endlessly towards the sky as if it would devour the entire Blood City.
