Magic Is Learned For Nothing [EN]: Chapter 298

Iron Arm 1

Legion scanned Porse up and down.

Legion had also raided Marquis Porse’s mansion, completely wrecking it and making Marquis Porse’s head explode.

Besides that, he found fault with everything Marquis Porse did.

When you think about it, the reason Marquis Porse was here was all because of Legion.

But this was the first time Legion and Marquis Porse had actually seen each other’s faces.

Naturally, they both assumed it was their first time meeting.

“Hmm-! You reason?” Legion asked, looking at Porse.

Porse was genuinely surprised as he looked at Legion.

That perfect body! It was such a beautiful physique that even he, as a man, could fall in love at first sight.

A dark, supple, and gleaming, incredible body.

But what’s with that helmet? A black helmet that looks so wickedly evil! It seems to suit the body quite well, but…

The body and the way he spoke were too different.

Very rough and rude.

In the past, he would have cut off his head without saying a word.

No one had ever spoken to him in such a way before.

However, Sepia next to him bothered him.

Sepia was telling him everything that had happened, as if he were his late-born youngest sibling.

He couldn’t believe that those words were coming from the mouth of that terrifying ogre.

-Kkeureureung (Hyung [older brother/term of endearment], hyung. That bastard hit my left cheek, my neck, and my side. It hurts so much. Bad bastard! He’s trying to solve things with violence when he’s the one who’s wrong. I’m so upset).

Porse frowned.

He wondered if this was the same opponent he had barely defeated.

Could it be a different ogre who only looked similar? No, even if it was a different ogre.

Did he have no pride as an ogre?

Tattling like that!

Porse felt a strong emotional upheaval because the image of the ogre and Sepia’s actions did not match. It still felt like he was in an unreal world.

“Hey. Mister, is what he’s saying true?”

“What are you talking about?”

Porse took a breath.

It wasn’t a very logical situation, but… he couldn’t underestimate the helmeted man in front of him.

If that huge ogre was skilled enough to tattle…

Ah! Black skin and a helmet! Could that man also be non-human?

Maybe so. Jonas is also an orc, but he’s almost no different from a human, right?

Sepia was now calling that helmeted man ‘hyung’.

Could it be… that man is also an ogre?

Does that make sense?

It didn’t make sense, but being here, he thought that there might be situations that didn’t make sense.

Porse pressed his temples.

His head was throbbing. The alcohol and the incomprehensible situation mixed together to create a headache.

“I’m going crazy.”

“No, if you hit a kid, you should apologize. Saying you’re going crazy. Why did you make the kid like this!” Legion raised his voice slightly.

At that moment, an enormous energy seemed to sweep through the surrounding open space and forest.

Porse was so surprised that he took a step back without realizing it.

It felt like an enormous fighting spirit had pierced through him.

No way!

Am I still not sober? Porse clenched his teeth.

“Why did you hit the kid!”

“Kid?”

“He’s a kid. Can’t you tell just by looking?”

“Who’s the kid?”

“Are you deaf? Who’s the kid? This guy. The kid. Our Sepia.”

“How old is that monster?”

“Wow, he’s calling you a monster. Would any monster want to live hearing that?”

-Kkeureureung (That’s what I said. Hyung. That human is really rude).

I don’t know who’s being rude to whom.

How old are you guys anyway? I’m forty-three. It doesn’t make sense that you guys are calling me rude.

“Eighteen years old. Still a rookie in society.”

-Kkeureureureung (Still adapting to social life. Why are you picking on him)?

That monster is a rookie in society? Eighteen years old? I want to drink. Why are you doing this to me?

“Just go.”

“What did you say?”

“Don’t test my patience any further.”

“헐! [Korean slang expressing disbelief/annoyance] What is that mister saying now? He’s striking a pose and telling me not to test his patience? So, am I supposed to be scared and think I messed with the wrong person and leave? Or should I say, like a villain, that now that you’ve caught my eye, you won’t survive? What do you think? Sepia.”

-Kkeureureung (Hyung is not a villain. He’s an angel. He’s the hero of the territory. So, you shouldn’t act like a villain. Instead, say this).

“Say what?”

-Kkeureureung (Give me all your money. Then I’ll spare your life).

Legion scratched his forehead.

Is his intelligence getting better or worse? It’s really nice to hear, but doesn’t it not fit the situation right now?

“That’s even more villainous, isn’t it?”

-Kkeureureung (That’s what we ogres say when a fight breaks out. The winner takes all. Give me everything you have. If you lose, you’ll be stripped bare without exception).

“Is that so? Only use that on your ogres. I can’t say that. Anyway, mister, apologize.”

“I told you not to test my patience.”

“I told you to apologize.”

“My patience is running out. Stop and go back.”

“Hoo-!” Legion shook his head from side to side and said.

“You did wrong and you won’t apologize? I was going to talk it out, but I’m not feeling good.”

“I don’t want to play word games. If you don’t disappear from my sight right now, I’ll give you a proper education.”

Porse’s eyes gradually turned cold.

He had no intention of killing the opponent. Wasn’t this a village that had received his grace?

The life that should have already been dead was alive thanks to Jonas. He didn’t want to harm the villagers. No, the Aein [a term for people living under someone’s protection]? No. Monsters? I don’t know. Anyway, he had no intention of harming those who lived together.

Even so, he couldn’t stand it if they came out so recklessly.

He wouldn’t kill them, but he would fix their manners.

Marquis Porse’s sleeves fluttered. A powerful magic power enveloped his entire body.

“Ho.”

Legion’s expression also changed slightly.

If you see one, you know ten [understand the whole picture from a small part]. Legion’s level had already reached a much higher place than ordinary knights thought.

He realized that the opponent in front of him was a great person with at least 7-star martial power.

There were only a few people in the entire kingdom with this level of skill. Why would such a strong person be here?

Legion’s mind was racing.

7-star knight or warrior.

Even if you searched all the hidden people, there were only about 10 people. Mark said that even if you caught the most, it would be about 15 people. That’s how rare a 7-star skilled person was.

Why would such a person be in our territory?

With his left arm gone?

Look at his appearance. Doesn’t he look like a defeated soldier?

Defeated soldier…? One name suddenly came to mind.

“Marquis Porse?” Legion asked directly. His hawk-like eyes pierced through the opponent.

Marquis Porse swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.

Who the hell is that kid? He figured out his identity without even exchanging a few words.

He felt a chill down his spine.

“Then who are you?”

“I’m Legion. They call me Count Legion. You are…”

“As you guess.”

“Aha!”

“Will you take revenge?”

“Well, I don’t have anything to lose to the point of taking revenge… but I don’t like the way you were aiming for my territory or the way you were trying to play with it… so let’s see your skills first.”

Legion stretched out his back and stepped forward.

“How dare you say such things while knowing who I am!”

“So, let’s take off the rank insignia and fight once. War is not done by age [meaning experience matters].”

“Good. Try to handle it.”

Porse twisted his lips and released his magic power.

A powerful force that was incomparable to before rose from his entire body like cumulonimbus clouds.

Small objects around him floated in the air.

Defying gravity, they were caught in the pressure and rotated wildly around Porse.

Surprised orcs came out of the barracks with weapons. They saw Legion, the benefactor and hero of the village.

“I knew it. Legion-nim [honorific title] came because he touched Sepia. Ugh, hangover. Let’s get some more sleep.”

The orcs quickly lost interest and went back into the barracks.

The men who married orc female warriors lit fires in the stove to cook breakfast.

They didn’t pay much attention to the confrontation between Legion and Porse. They acted as if the result was already determined.

“Porse-ssi [Mr. Porse].”

“Porse-ssi?”

“We took off the rank insignia. What should I call you? Should I just call you mister?”

“Titles don’t matter. Feel free to show off your tricks. I won’t kill you here.”

“I don’t know who should be saying that.”

Legion smiled and released his magic power.

Dark magic spread everywhere. His magic power began to be released endlessly. If Marquis Porse could measure combat power like Mark, he would have been horrified.

Because he wouldn’t be able to believe the endlessly rising combat power.

However, Marquis Porse also had top-notch skills. He couldn’t not know how formidable the power that Count Legion was emitting in front of him was.

Simply comparing magic power-

He far surpassed himself.

It was like seeing the endless mana pool of the great sage Baserabap.

No way!

Does a young man of only about twenty years old surpass the amount of mana of Baserabap, who is over eighty years old?

The amount of mana is compared to time.

No matter how great a dantian [energy center] you have, you cannot suddenly increase the amount of mana.

“Sepia.”

-Kkeureureung (Yes, hyung).

Sepia was excited. He was also able to use magic power after eating Legion’s decision. Of course, he knew how great Legion’s magic power was.

The man who hit him was no match.

“Block the back.”

-Kkeureureung (Back)?

“Yes, so he can’t run away.”

-Kkeureureung (Hehe, I got it).

Sepia pulled out a huge mace and went behind Marquis Porse.

It was a threat to turn around and run away here. I’ll split your head open.

“How dare you… what do you think of me.”

“What do I think? I think you’re a joke. Come on. Mister.”

“You son of a bitch!”

Marquis Porse’s terrifying fighting spirit struck Legion.

“Oojuju. Is our baby hungry? Are you awake?” Amadeus held the whimpering baby and shook it.

Zenon opened the door to the barracks and entered.

He was holding baby food in his hand. He had stopped breastfeeding, so it was time to feed him baby food. Thanks to Legion, the village developed and the infant mortality rate decreased significantly.

In the past, one out of every two babies died.

The babies could not withstand the orcs’ dirty living environment.

But it’s different now. The village was as clean as the humans. Priests also came regularly to treat the children. Thanks to this, not a single child has died recently.

Zenon took the baby from Amadeus and fed him baby food.

“Honey, but what is that sound?” Amadeus spoke respectfully to Zenon, who was much younger than her. She thought that if she ignored her husband, her daughter and other orcs might also ignore Zenon. She had to respect her husband first so that other orcs would do the same.

“What sound?”

“I hear the sound of catching a dog outside.”

“Huh? Ah.” A faint sound of ‘You son of a bitch, ugh, what the hell are you? Aaaah! Wait a minute! You monster! Die! Aaaah! Please stop, stop. Hit!’ was heard.

“Hyung-nim [older brother/term of respect] is having a sparring match with that man yesterday.”

“Sparring? No matter how I look at it, it sounds like a wail…”

“Well, how should I put it. Hyung-nim is…”

“Hyung-nim is?”

“He must have liked him. They say you only hit when you have affection.”

“Hmm. I see.” Amadeus nodded.

The one being beaten like a dog must be that man who won against Sepia. I knew he was a great skilled person, so I made him sleep with Jonas…

Isn’t he weaker than I thought?

Amadeus was somehow regretting it.
