Magic Is Learned For Nothing [EN]: Chapter 234

Sky-Soaring Immortal Nuvyeo Nuvyeo 2

Legion reached for his iron sword, then stopped.

He kept mistaking himself for a warrior. At this rate, he might have a serious identity crisis.

*I’m a mage.*

*What’s a mage going to do waving a sword around?*

Legion reminded himself of his profession once again.

Anyway, he had become a Dark Lord. Frankly, he still didn’t understand why someone as timid and shy as himself had become a Dark Lord.

*Dark Lord!*

*Aren’t they the kind of guys who want to conquer the continent?*

The ones who appear in ancient books and commit all sorts of atrocities in legends. *Aren’t those guys Dark Lords?*

*Why me!*

*What did I do to become a Dark Lord and even turn Black?*

“Hoo.”

Legion sighed deeply.

He suddenly got upset for no reason. Now, after some kind of metamorphosis, he had become more than twice as strong without using the ‘Explosion of Coolness’ skill. Moreover, he could use the infinite amplification skill ‘I’m the Best’.

*The day I can use the ‘Explosion of Coolness’ skill!*

*I’ll catch that Archbishop bastard and make him exactly like me!*

Ah, right! The day I can use the Explosion of Coolness skill—it’s the day I reveal to the world that I’ve turned Black.

*I can’t have that.*

*I need to get a second plastic surgery as soon as possible.*

It’s a truly tearful life. All I wanted was…….

Just to live happily with the territory residents.

If I were a little more greedy, I’d have a super pretty girlfriend, and if I were a little more greedy, I’d live a life of luxury with the money from the mithril mine, and if I were a little more greedy, I’d be super popular with the ladies.

That’s all.

Isn’t that the kind of hope that ordinary people have?

In that sense, I’m an ordinary citizen. Or a petty noble, maybe.

Anyway-

Now I should use magic like a mage.

I can use ancient magic as much as I want, so I can’t keep wielding an iron sword forever. No, I can’t use a staff yet, so let’s use them together.

But is a Dark Lord a mage? Or a knight?

Mark was momentarily speechless at Legion’s sudden question.

He examined the updated ancient texts.

In 2,000 years, there had been two Dark Lords. In terms of the Middle Realm, it was like experiencing three terrible wars with two Dark Lords and the Black Dragon’s invasion.

But there was only mention of the Dark Lords invading, with no details on how they used their power.

-He was terrifying.

-He was a symbol of fear and despair.

-Those who saw him had their eyes rot.

-The humans who saw him knelt down in tears.

Okay, I get that Dark Lords are incredibly terrifying beings. But what kind of force did they use?

Mark stepped forward seriously.

-I think it’s a matter of personal preference.

Personal preference?

-That’s right. It’s hard to define the Dark Lord’s job… because when you translate it, isn’t it Dark Lord? A lord doesn’t necessarily have to use swordsmanship, nor does he have to use magic, so I think they each did it according to their preference.

Ah, I see. So, it doesn’t matter whether I use magic or swordsmanship?

-Exactly.

That was completely wrong.

The Dark Lord is the lord of hell.

If the current Dark Lord, who ruled hell, saw this situation, he would collapse in shock.

-Immediately! Capture the guy who impersonated my authority and drag him here!

That’s right.

The Dark Lord’s real power wasn’t magic or aura.

Absolute authority to ignore the cause and effect of the world!

That was the power the Dark Lord possessed.

But Legion had no idea about that. There was no one around to ask, like a Dark Lord, a Grand Master, a 0-circle super archmage, or a Nova Lord. That’s the kind of thing that happens.

Legion grabbed the iron sword in his left hand with his bulging muscles.

His muscles were tightly packed in the cold armor. He was afraid his muscles would burst through the armor.

And he cast a spell with his right hand.

Even though he didn’t have a staff that increased his magic power by 200 percent, this kind of wyvern was nothing.

It was an important resource that would earn him more than 1 billion gold a year.

-Kuooh!

A powerful flame breath flew towards Legion-

“Hoo.”

Legion briefly stopped breathing and swung his iron sword.

Crack!

The breath split in half and bounced to the side.

The deflected fireball flew into the wyverns’ nests and caught fire. The mother wyverns, who were feeding their baby wyverns, were horrified and ran out.

Sky-Soaring Immortal Nuvyeo Nuvyeo’s eyes twitched.

No opponent had ever blocked his breath before. Well, there had been a few times. They barely survived and ran away without looking back.

This was the first time it had been split in half like this.

-You bastard! Do you know where this is!

Nuvyeo Nuvyeo’s furious cry echoed throughout the mountain range. Startled birds fluttered and soared high into the sky.

The young wyverns peeked out with fearful and curious eyes.

Sky-Soaring Immortal Nuvyeo Nuvyeo shouted even more furiously.

The children and females were watching. As the strongest warrior of the wyvern tribe, he couldn’t show them retreating.

He had to show the growing sprouts what courage was.

-Kuaaa! No human dares to set foot on the land of the sky. I’ll count to five. Get out!

“Three.”

Legion replied.

-What?

“I said count to five.”

Legion finished casting.

A giant black palm was created above Sky-Soaring Immortal Nuvyeo Nuvyeo’s head. It was a spell that Legion hadn’t cast in a long time.

The Buddha’s palm that makes you tell the truth when you get hit.

It was said to be one of the ancient magics, used to scold the disobedient stone monkey named Sun Wukong [a famous character from the classic Chinese novel *Journey to the West*].

It was truly a unique magic.

-Really! You don’t know fear! Do you want to see my triple breath!

“Shut up. Count quickly. Five.”

-Eek.

Sky-Soaring Immortal Nuvyeo Nuvyeo glared at Legion with burning eyes. The young wyverns clenched their fists and cheered him on.

*Please drive that unlucky human out of this land. No, show us the taste of human flesh.*

*Ah, that’s burdensome.*

Nuvyeo Nuvyeo gritted his teeth.

If he wasn’t in this condition, he would have rushed out and finished off that little human right away.

“Ah, you little punk, you don’t understand. I’ll count. Five, four, three, two, one.”

-Wa, wait a minute!

“That’s it. What do you mean, wait a minute.”

In an instant, the giant black palm struck down like lightning.

Kukukukung!

With a deafening sound, Sky-Soaring Immortal Nuvyeo Nuvyeo was flattened. It was an enormous pressure. If it had been an ordinary wyvern instead of him, it would have burst like a frog being stepped on.

It was a terrifying attack.

-Keuheok!

Unable to bear the pain, Nuvyeo Nuvyeo collapsed to the ground, panting.

Clang, clang-

Legion approached Nuvyeo Nuvyeo. Nuvyeo Nuvyeo’s eyes, bigger than an ordinary baby pig, glared at Legion.

“You’re the strongest warrior of the wyvern tribe?”

-That’s right! Why? Don’t you believe it!

“No, I don’t. Why are you so weak? You haven’t shown me anything except your breath. You’re just flapping your lips.”

*Just flapping his lips!*

It was a humiliating remark for Sky-Soaring Immortal Nuvyeo Nuvyeo. It was the first time since he was born that he had heard such words from a human.

-It’s because I’m not feeling well!

“Not feeling well?”

-Yes, if I were feeling well, I would have swallowed you whole.

“Are you sick?”

-Something like that.

“A terminal illness?”

-Not that.

“What is it?”

-A herniated disc.

Legion’s brow furrowed. Many humans suffer from back pain. It’s no different for other races. Those who are sick are all the same.

“How did it happen?”

-I strained my back lifting heavy things for the kids.

“When did you get hurt?”

-Why do you want to know?

“If I fix it, will you fight me again?”

-You’re going to fix me?

“Yeah. What do you say?”

-What’s the catch?

Nuvyeo Nuvyeo looked at Legion with suspicious eyes.

A human is going to fix my back for free? The passing dogs will laugh. But for the past seven months, he had been in so much pain that he couldn’t move.

After he first injured his back and didn’t use it, the bones on the other side became misaligned. Now, it seemed like his pelvis was crooked too. He had eaten all the herbs in the mountains, but there was little improvement.

His back was getting more and more painful-

He couldn’t do his nightly duties-

He was worried that he would just lie in his nest and die.

In fact, he spent more time lying down because his back hurt.

But you’re going to fix that back?

He felt like he would sell his soul.

“There’s no catch. Let’s just make a contract. Judging by the looks of it, you guys don’t take parasite medicine, do you?”

-Pa, parasite medicine?

“Yeah, ao, look at these feathers falling out of your wings. It’s all because of parasites. It’ll all get better if you take the medicine. Your back pain? I’ll fix it.”

-Re, really? Is that possible?

“Of course. We provide the medicine.”

-What do you want?

“Labor.”

-Labor?

“Yeah. It’s a win-win situation. Are you married?”

-I am.

“How many kids do you have?”

-Um.

In fact, he was still in his honeymoon phase. But after he injured his back, his relationship with his wife deteriorated. At first, his wife felt sorry for him, but as time went on, his wife became more and more annoyed.

From some point on, his wife kept going out.

When he shouted, ‘Stay home more,’ she retorted, ‘Then you go get the food! Are you telling me to starve to death!’

He had a feeling that his wife was having an affair with another wyvern.

It was humiliating.

Just because he injured his back, the strongest warrior of the wyvern tribe had fallen so low.

“Don’t you want to get your happy family back?”

-I do.

“Then make a contract with me.”

-Can you really heal my back?

“Not just your back. Bring all the sick wyverns. I’ll make sure that at least no wyverns die from disease.”

Nuvyeo Nuvyeo’s heart wavered.

Kukukukung!

He glanced at Bibyeo Bibyeo, who was fighting the muscular human.

Oh, my.

Bibyeo Bibyeo was the second strongest in the wyvern tribe.

If it hadn’t been for him, he would have been the strongest. As the first and second in command, they weren’t on very good terms.

Bibyeo Bibyeo, the second in command, was constantly aiming for the top spot.

Until now, he had somehow managed to hold on with words, but soon he would have to give up the top spot to him.

In his injured state, he couldn’t face him.

Nuvyeo Nuvyeo was thinking that retiring was a slightly more dignified way to step down than getting beaten up and dragged away.

Retiring at such a young age.

Tears welled up in his eyes.

But there was no other way. If he kept holding on, he would be completely crushed by Bibyeo Bibyeo.

But!

Bibyeo Bibyeo, a strongman that even he acknowledged, was being beaten like a dog by the muscular man.

He was getting hit so hard it was pitiful.

He was hit and hit and finally started to run away.

“Ah, this bastard is weak. What, he’s running away after getting hit this much? He has less patience than Ogu Ogu.”

There was no forgiveness from the muscular man.

He grabbed the wings of the fleeing Bibyeo Bibyeo and slammed him to the ground. Bibyeo Bibyeo screamed without resisting.

-Save me!

It was a scream that no one in the wyvern tribe had ever heard before.

It was hard to watch Bibyeo Bibyeo screaming so pathetically.

-Aaaah! You demon! Why are you doing such terrible things to us!

The young wyverns couldn’t contain their anger and rage and rushed at Legion.

“Huh?”

Legion, who had the iron sword on his left shoulder, turned his head.

The young wyverns were hit by the carelessly swung iron sword and fainted. The wyverns that fell to the ground foamed at the mouth and didn’t move.

Sky-Soaring Immortal Nuvyeo Nuvyeo trembled all over as he collapsed.

*That guy is the incarnation of evil.*

*He’s already turned our tribe into a wasteland. If we don’t make a contract, our tribe will be dragged away as slaves.*

*Ha! God.*

*Are you giving us this trial because we have lived too comfortably?*

“Ahahaha! I hate all winged things!”

Dreizer’s mad laughter echoed.

Bibyeo Bibyeo fled with all his might. But his pitiful screams only echoed within the habitat. All the wyverns were gripped by extreme despair and fear at Dreizer’s madness.

Silence fell.

No one could open their mouths.

-Keuheuheuk, I’ll make a contract.

Nuvyeo Nuvyeo said, crying.

Legion didn’t understand why Nuvyeo Nuvyeo was crying at all. No, why are they making such a fuss when I’m giving them medicine and providing food?

Lately, he felt like he was becoming a bad guy.
