Magic Is Learned For Nothing [EN]: Chapter 229

The World Outside (1)

Red Dragon Preitia hurriedly returned to her lair.

She couldn’t find that Legion guy in the end. That rat-like bastard was so quick, disappearing whenever she was about to catch him.

Then suddenly, all traces of him vanished completely.

It seemed he knew she was chasing him. If she ever caught him, she would turn him into mincemeat…

Well, he was quite strong for a human.

Not only strong but also smart.

His face gave the impression that he was simple and not very bright, but the problem was that he was not like that at all.

They were really bad guys.

You could tell by looking at Alexander de Recordian.

That married bastard was unusually smart. Living a double life with a dragon. It was impossible without considerable intelligence and courage.

Legion was the same.

He might look dirty, but he was smart. He must be. That’s why he survived twice from her hands.

Being like that, he couldn’t be found even if she set out to find him with determination.

From the port city of Siem, Legion’s traces could not be found. He simply settled down while he was out, eating as much fresh seafood as he couldn’t usually eat.

As he ate, he grew to like the city, even planning to stay for about a year.

Siem had been involved in a fairly big incident, but the newly elected temporary lord, Frija, was quite capable, and the city was being rebuilt quickly.

Siem, a port city famous as a tourist destination.

It was famous enough to be the top choice for honeymoon destinations, and it was also famous as the place where the most newlyweds broke up. It was so beautiful that they were intoxicated by the atmosphere and the beautiful scenery, readily committing deviations unlike usual.

It was such a dangerous yet popular travel destination.

One of the reasons Preitia liked this city was that she had many opportunities to break up numerous newly married couples.

It was a petty act, thinking, “My marriage was ruined, so I can’t stand seeing you newlyweds laughing and enjoying yourselves.”

But Preitia was not left alone.

That day, she broke up another newlywed couple and was happily drunk and asleep when she received an email from the licensed real estate agent, Dapal-ah.

It was an email magic that Preitia had taught her, telling her to contact her if it was urgent.

It was a special magic that wrote about 100 characters in the air and delivered them to the other person’s magic locker.

It was a low-circle magic [a simple, beginner-level spell], but it was also very difficult to use.

The content of the email was as follows:

-Lair raided. Not my fault.

Preitia was furious and cast a portal in her pajamas. An open space or the air was good for casting a portal. Because such powerful energy was concentrated, the surroundings could be completely destroyed if something went wrong when the portal was created.

That was exactly what happened now.

The luxury villa where she was staying was completely shattered.

The newlyweds who were having a night affair on the first and second floors jumped out naked.

Regardless of that.

Preitia returned to her lair.

Dapal-ah, who saw her, knelt down.

It wasn’t his fault, but he had to kneel first. If he got hit by that woman’s fist, a weak elf like him would die. Praying with all his might was the only way to survive.

“I’m sorry. It was already like this when I arrived.”

Preitia didn’t say anything.

She seemed really angry. She opened her lair one by one, checking each room. She searched all the way to the hidden room in the basement.

Everything was stolen.

Those numerous legendary items.

Those numerous SS-class jewels and minerals.

She left the mid- to high-grade items and only took the things she cherished the most.

“Grinding sounds.”

Preitia’s teeth were grinding.

Due to her anger, her magic power stretched out in all directions.

The walls of the lair, which were already damaged by the shampoo war between Dreizer and Lich Mamon, cracked even more.

Gold dust fell from the walls that were covered in gold.

“Which bastard! Who the hell!”

The guardians knelt down and quickly approached with their heads buried on the floor.

“It’s a guy named Don Deukman.”

“Don Deukman?”

The guardians did their best to exaggerate Don Deukman’s abilities by about 100 times. That was the only way they could survive.

“They said they like to eat dragons as steak.”

That’s a lie.

“They eat dragons as steak?”

“Yes. They knew that the great master was here and came to hunt.”

That’s a lie. They opened the door lock and sneaked in.

“They knew that the great master was not here and made the lair like this.”

“That son of a bitch…”

“He left a postscript.”

“What did he say?”

“Lizard bastard, I’ll be back soon. I am Don Deukman, one of the seven strongest men in the great kingdom. Clean your neck and wait.”

He didn’t say that.

But the guardians’ words were enough to make Red Dragon Preitia’s anger soar to the top of her head.

“Do you know those bastards’ faces?”

“They were wearing armor, so I couldn’t see their faces. But I know their characteristics. A giant about 2 meters tall in iron armor is Don Deukman. A pervert with pigtails wearing a mask was Jack Nicher, famous as a serial killer.”

“Draw their characteristics and print them out. I’ll circulate them to all the dragons and races I know. Whether it’s Don Deukman or Don Jirral, he’s dead.”

The name Legion disappeared from Preitia’s mind.

Instead, the name Don Deukman was firmly embedded.

At the same time.

Don Deukman and Jack Nicher were camping.

They had been sleeping outdoors for quite a long time. There were too many who were after their lives. They couldn’t sleep comfortably in a village inn.

They were drinking traditional liquor in front of a bonfire, soothing their sad hearts.

Don Deukman looked at the sky.

His situation was so miserable. How did he end up like this…

The sky was full of stars. It was truly a beautiful sky.

At that moment-

Don Deukman discovered a falling star.

“Hey! Hey!”

Don Deukman urgently called Jack Nicher.

“What is it?”

“My life star just fell.”

“What? No way.”

“It’s true. Damn it. What the hell is going on.”

“Oh! Me too. My life star too…”

Don Deukman and Jack Nicher looked at each other’s faces.

Everything was dark. It was as if someone had painted their future in black.

What the hell was going on?

When did our lives get so twisted?

Legion, who could have answered him, was still pretending to be Don Deukman.

* * *

Legion sat in a rocking chair, watching the setting sun.

Several days had passed since that commotion.

He had become a hero of Blood City.

All the vampires went crazy when they saw him. But Legion was not happy at all.

“I’m a Demon King…”

Damn it, the hero of the vampires seemed to be a Demon King level. But I’m human… a Demon King! I’m really saying something that will get me struck by lightning.

Well, there’s not much difference between a Dark Lord and a Demon King, is there?

If my deceased ancestors saw me now, they would jump out of their graves.

“Why do you look like that?”

Dreizer sat next to Legion.

His complexion was quite good, considering that half of his heart had been shattered.

He ate Legion’s apple-sized crystal and survived. At the same time, he gained recovery ability.

Moreover, it was a recovery ability that was automatically used during battle.

A recovery ability that restores nearly half of his health and mana when he takes a certain amount of damage. It was truly amazing.

Dreizer was sincerely grateful to Legion.

“Do you have worries too?”

Legion sighed deeply and said.

“…”

The nuance was strange. Dreizer felt a surge of emotion.

“Who doesn’t have worries?”

“I see. I didn’t know you had worries.”

“…”

What the hell.

He felt his respect for Legion melting away like ice under the scorching sun. He really didn’t want to hear those words from his master, no matter who else said them.

If there were a hundred people in the world without worries, one of them would be the master. If there were ten people in the world without worries, one of them would be the master. If there was one person in the world without worries, Dreizer thought that one person would be the master.

And that person asked me if I had worries.

Ah, it’s so frustrating I could cry.

But there was something he didn’t know.

Legion had turned black.

Now he couldn’t even open his face mask. He was seriously worried about how he was going to eat.

Yes, let’s go.

To a world where no one knows me.

* * *

Legion and Dreizer unconditionally left the vampire kingdom of Elsa.

Sharonz shed tears, saying that her coronation ceremony would be held soon and that they should at least see that.

But Legion had no intention of staying in the vampire kingdom any longer.

He had to restore his skin color as soon as possible.

Moreover, he had obtained the ‘Blood Orichalcon’ he wanted. The effect was… terrible, but anyway, there was no reason to stay here.

He didn’t know why Sharonz was shedding so many tears.

She said.

“You’ll come back, right?”

“Of course. I have to come, of course.”

Legion licked his lips.

He would never come here again. Aside from the fact that it was terribly cold, he never wanted to recall the unimaginable great battle he had experienced here again. He didn’t know how many vampires and lycans had died.

One-third of the city was destroyed.

It would take at least ten years to focus on reconstruction.

What was amazing was that Sharonz and Allkill had signed a peace treaty.

It was the first time in hundreds of years.

He thought that their mutual hatred had been built up for too long and would not be easily resolved…

But they put forward the absurd slogan, ‘We are one under the name of Demon King Legion.’

Legion begged them not to do that and tried to dissuade them.

“Don’t worry. We are one under the Demon King.”

They didn’t listen at all.

He didn’t know why they were like that. Oh well, let it be. They weren’t people he would see again anyway.

Allkill said to Dreizer.

“I may be visiting your territory soon.”

“Why?”

“My relative, Cheoma, is there. I’m going to see if she’s doing well. And I also want to fight you.”

“You’ll cry.”

Dreizer smiled.

“Aaaah, cute.”

“Dreizer-nim, the best!”

Dreizer was enjoying the highest popularity among the lycans.

Legion snorted at the sight.

Everyone must be crazy. How can they say he’s cute when they see that fierce face? Isn’t he just a pervert when they see his pigtails?

Where is he cute?

But that was because Legion didn’t know the attributes of vampires and lycans.

Lycans prioritize the strong.

The genes that had evolved to survive in the harsh environment had survived with a tendency to see men with ‘good seeds’ as the best.

In the eyes of women, Dreizer was like a bull with grade 1 seeds [a top-quality breeding animal].

For the sake of future generations, the women desperately wanted Dreizer to come here.

Allkill hugged Dreizer tightly and said.

“I’ll introduce you to my granddaughter if you want.”

Dreizer looked at Allkill.

Judging from his appearance, it didn’t seem like a granddaughter with pretty genes would have come out.

But wait a minute, granddaughter? Not a daughter? How old are you?

“Why do you look like that?”

Allkill asked.

“How old are you?”

“120 years old. We’re about the same age. Why? Are you older? Should I call you *hyung* [older brother]?”

Damn it.

Dreizer’s face crumpled.

He didn’t know what kind of nonsense he was talking to a bachelor who wasn’t even married yet.

The members of the Large Cannon Treasure Hunter knelt down to Legion. Their faith was no less than that of the frozen Haimo and Buffalo.

But they had to part with Legion with tears in their eyes.

“We failed this request. So we have to leave to find another Blood Orichalcon. We will see you when we complete the request.”

The members of the Large Cannon Treasure Hunter left Blood City after saying those words.

“I’ll visit you once the queen’s coronation ceremony is over.”

Sharonz said.

“Why?”

Legion said with a puzzled face.

“We can’t trust humans. But I trust you. You’re our hero.”

As soon as the word hero came out, the vampires shouted again.

“Hero! Legion! Milky-skinned Demon King!”

Thanks to Sharonz, they found out that he was Legion, not Don Deukman. That’s why they were even more enthusiastic.

What was interesting was that strange rumors spread so rapidly, but these rumors just didn’t cross the ice walls, taking it for granted.

The rumors of Don Deukman were still spreading.

Legion blushed.

He didn’t know why they were doing that. He was so ashamed that he couldn’t lift his head. Let’s leave quickly. I can’t live because I’m so embarrassed.

“There are many mysterious minerals here too. You like minerals, right?”

Sharonz made an enticing offer.

“Yeah, what’s coming out?”

“I’ll bring you some interesting minerals, so let’s trade. There are quite a few minerals worth more than 100,000 gold. I’ll sell them to you cheaply.”

“Really?”

“Really.”

“I’ll look forward to it.”

Legion smiled brightly.

“Where are you going? To the territory?”

“No.”

“Then?”

“I’m going to get a second plastic surgery.”

“Are you going to get another plastic surgery?”

Dreizer frowned.

Yes! The first destination is there. He won’t be able to take off his armor unless he restores his skin color.

There are now less than three months left until the day he takes off his iron armor.
