Magic Is Learned For Nothing [EN]: Chapter 239

Magic is Learned for Nothing – Episode 240

Happy Day 1

Leaving home means suffering.

Mom was right.

I don’t remember my mom, but I think she was right. I don’t know what the hell I’m doing.

Mamon and Lucas were braving the blizzard to find Ireland, another kingdom in the far north.

Beautiful icicles hung from Mamon’s hair.

Damn it, I used shampoo five times to revive my scorched hair…….

There wasn’t even a moment to show his ferocious glint.

Mamon was genuinely regretting it. He wanted to go back to his warm and comfortable subspace.

The reason he was heading to Ireland was simple.

The most delicious whiskey in the world is from Ireland. It wasn’t just a simple price surge due to merchants’ advertising.

It really tastes great.

Even Legion and Dreizer, who don’t particularly like alcohol, praise Irish whiskey whenever they get the chance.

Not that they buy it with their own money… There’s an information guild run by Emon in Count Persimmon’s territory, and they raid it every time, taking one to drink.

Lich Mamon was curious.

What does it taste like? So he secretly drank a glass.

Like a rude son secretly taking out his father’s whiskey from the cabinet.

He only tasted one glass!

Destiny!

This was real.

The taste buds of the Lich, which had become dull, were awakened. If he were alive, his eyes would have popped open.

All the whiskey he had ever drunk was fake.

The whiskey made from Ireland’s eternal glaciers was the real deal.

Since he had already run away from home and refused the master’s summons several times, it seemed like there would be no leftovers if he refused any more.

Still, he really wanted to get his own whiskey.

But this is too much hardship.

Every day, the temperature is below minus 50 degrees.

From the perspective of Lich Mamon, who is about to become a 7-circle master [a mage of considerable power], the cold of 50 degrees below zero isn’t a big obstacle. He doesn’t feel the cold very well anyway.

However, he still hasn’t found Ireland.

How on earth can merchants import Irish whiskey?

Do merchants come here?

All he’s seen so far are the far north monsters that attack regardless of the time. Perhaps because there is little food in the far north, once they find something, they stick to it tenaciously.

Actually, there’s not much to eat even if they catch me, so they’re obviously coming to catch Lucas next to me.

That’s actually a bit annoying…….

“Just trust me!”

What did he say?

“Aren’t I called the compass of the vampire world!”

And that guy still doesn’t know where this is.

“How much further, junior?”

Mamon asked Lucas, forcibly suppressing the bubbling anger inside.

“Don’t worry. We’ll find it soon.”

“Soon?”

“Yes, as always.”

As always?

What the hell are you talking about?

What have we done to use the words ‘as always’.

Mamon stared at Lucas with an absurd look.

Even though he says that, Lucas was having a hard time as well. Have you ever camped out in minus 50 degrees? That’s not something even a vampire with superior physical abilities than humans should do.

On the outside, he was shouting cheerfully, but inside, he was vowing never to camp out in the far north again.

-Mamon!

Legion’s voice was heard.

Suddenly, tears welled up in his eyes. He was angry and thought he would never call again.

He never knew he would be so happy to hear his master’s voice.

-Come back when I’m being nice!

Yes, yes. I have to go. Who’s calling me?

Lich Mamon gently called Lucas.

“Junior.”

Lucas also looked at Mamon.

He had a very ominous feeling for some reason. Through their short journey, Lucas was experiencing firsthand what kind of person Mamon was.

He is quite taciturn.

He doesn’t care about anything other than hair care. He only showed interest in Irish whiskey.

When the two of them were together, Lucas was mostly the one talking, and Mamon was just listening.

What should I say.

It felt like a father-in-law and son-in-law were in the same space.

The mother-in-law and wife went out to go grocery shopping, leaving only the two of them.

It was the feeling of a father-in-law and son-in-law facing each other with nothing to do.

“Speak, senior.”

“Can I say something I’m sorry about?”

“Of course. What is there to be sorry about between us?”

“Then I’ll speak comfortably. I’m leaving first.”

……??

Many question marks popped up in Lucas’s head. Where are you going on a bare glacier with nothing?

“Then let’s meet again if we have the chance later. If you have anything urgent, send me an email.”

With those words, Mamon opened a subspace and disappeared inside. Leaving behind only the unknown words, Master! I’m going!.

Whoosh~

The cold wind of the far north blows.

Beautiful auroras overflow in the sky.

-Krrr.

Surrounding them were a group of frost giants who were chasing after them, driven mad.

Lucas was left alone.

Is this real?

You must be joking?

“Hey, senior?”

Lucas called Mamon.

“You’re kidding too much. Come out quickly.”

Of course, Mamon didn’t answer.

“Hey, hey? Senior?”

“……Hey senior?”

“Hey, Mamon.”

“Mamon, you son of a bitch. Are you kidding me right now!”

“Hey! Hey! Mamon, you son of a bitch!”

No matter how much he called, Mamon didn’t answer.

* * *

Beeeeeep-

A tremendous explosion occurred, and the alarm magic rang loudly.

The alarm magic seemed to be ringing on the entire 80th floor. Everyone who was sleeping jumped up. They were surprised and opened the door and came outside to check the situation.

“Legion-nim!”

“Legion-nim! Are you safe?”

The apprentice mages assigned to take care of Legion rushed over in surprise.

“L, Legion-nim.”

The room was all black and charred.

The smell of burning was everywhere. The apprentice mages carefully looked for Legion.

The moonlight shone into the room as if it didn’t know anything about the current situation. A terrifying shadow was seen in the huge darkness that the moonlight hid.

The black shadow reflected in the moonlight was all the more terrifying.

“L, Legion-nim.”

The apprentice mages carefully called out once more.

Only then did that terribly scary voice flow out from the dark place inside.

“Who ordered it?”

Legion’s voice, speaking in a calm tone, had the power to make the atmosphere chilly in itself.

He slowly turned his head.

The apprentice mages flinched at the beast-like eyes shining in the darkness. 5-circle mage Sayonara retreated while looking around.

Legion’s eyes become increasingly cold.

“I’ll ask one more time. Who ordered it?”

“…….”

No one answered.

Then, a black hand reached out from inside the shadows.

“Keuk!”

Sayonara, a 5-circle mage [a mage with five circles of power] who came with the apprentice mages, twisted his waist and was sucked into that hand.

He urgently made hand signs and shouted.

“Fire Boom!”

Boom boom boom!

Fire magic exploded right in front of Legion’s nose.

However, Legion was not shocked at all. Surprisingly, a subspace opened and a bone hand popped out, extinguishing Sayonara’s magic.

“W, what? What is that?”

Sayonara looked at the subspace in surprise.

He felt his whole body stiffen without realizing it.

A Lich with long, black hair fluttering like seaweed…….

His hideous appearance was so bizarre that Sayonara felt like he was standing naked in front of a carnivore. Sayonara tried to run away, but he couldn’t move in the face of Lich Mamon’s overwhelming power.

“I’m sorry I’m late.”

He quietly lowered his head towards Legion and stared at Sayonara.

“You little rat, how dare you do such a thing!”

Lich Mamon’s bone palm spread out. Sayonara floated up and was caught in Lich Mamon’s hand.

“Keuheok!”

Sayonara, whose neck was twisted, turned pale and frantically moved his feet. Surprisingly, magic power was being forcibly extracted from his entire body.

He looked at Lich Mamon with horrified eyes.

Enemy of mankind-

The undead king, Lich, appeared before his eyes.

He had heard a lot about the Lich, but this was the first time he had seen it. He had heard that it was a scary monster, but he had never thought it would be this level.

Isn’t this a monster?

Isn’t this…… darkness itself?

The Lich was a monster that he could never handle. In an instant, his dantian [energy center] was empty.

All of his magic power was eaten up.

Now, even his life force is being sucked in.

“Ugh!”

Sayonara’s eyes were gradually filled with fear. If he couldn’t escape from the Lich’s hand, his life force would be sucked out and he would die.

It may seem that way to Sayonara-

Lich was grinning at Legion in the most humble mode possible.

“The humble Lich Mamon, a loyal subject of the master, has just arrived.”

As if nothing had happened.

Legion chuckled.

He really can’t hate him.

I was going to make him do PT 8 200 times when he showed up. I gave up. It was said that you shouldn’t mistreat a child who runs away from home and comes back because they originally have a lot of complaints. Let’s let it go this once.

“If you run away from home again, you’re dead.”

Legion hit Lich Mamon’s head, who was shining with ferocious eyes, with a bang.

“Ouch!”

He pretends it hurts even though it doesn’t hurt at all.

Lich Mamon rubbed his head with his other hand and nodded.

“Master, I will never leave your side.”

It was a tone full of sincerity.

Mamon realized that his home, where warm fire comes in from the corner of the room, is the best, even if it’s hard.

“Okay, I understand. First, find out what that guy knows.”

“Yes, I will. I’ll find out what kind of baby food he ate when he was two years old.”

“Okay.”

Lich Mamon grabbed Sayonara and dragged him into the subspace.

Sayonara, terrified, struggled with desperate eyes.

“S, save me. Please!”

Legion shook his head as if he was sorry as he watched Sayonara being sucked into the subspace.

“Sorry, it’s too late.”

Eleven mages appeared late, pushing through the crowd. They asked the other mages.

“What’s going on?”

“T, that’s…… an explosion occurred…… suddenly…… a Lich appeared and took Sayonara-nim.”

“What are you talking about? This place is warded with divine magic. How can an undead appear when it’s warded with divine magic!”

The mages who appeared late shouted.

“It’s true. A terribly evil Lich appeared…… Sayonara-nim…….”

“Nonsense!”

The man thought it didn’t make sense.

The other mages felt the same way. That’s because the magic tower has numerous defensive spells. In reality, no undead can enter this place.

But there was something they didn’t know.

Mamon was not a simple undead, but a Lich, and the Lich absolutely obeyed not the Demon King, but a human.

Therefore, it is different from ordinary undead from the beginning.

The mages had no way of knowing such detailed circumstances.

Legion looked at the middle-aged man and ten mages who suddenly appeared.

They are familiar faces.

Those who were with him at dinner.

He had never exchanged a word with them. He just thought that there was no need to respond to every action shown by those who were blinded by jealousy.

But I never thought they would provoke me like this.
