Magic Is Learned For Nothing [EN]: Chapter 300

Magic is Learned for Nothing – Episode 301

# 301

Just happened, just happened.

Lich Mamon’s eyes gleamed with a fierce light.

The thing before him was a humanoid Golem.

Golem summoning magic, a nearly lost art. It still existed, but it wasn’t very efficient. More than anything, it was difficult to learn and master, and until one reached a certain level, it wasn’t very useful.

Therefore, not many wizards delved into Golem summoning magic.

People were too busy trying to make a living, so they had to learn magic that made money. Who would learn magic that didn’t?

Six years of elementary magic school, three years of middle magic school, and three years of high magic school. When you enter full-fledged magic training, it’s another four years. And to go through a professional course, it’s another seven years.

Parents break their backs sending their kids to magic school to learn magic, and then they graduate and do something else?

Searching for Golem summoning magic for the sake of a historical mission, spending their own money?

Of course, there might be wizards like that.

But they can’t get married, grow old, go bald, and become narrow-minded.

It’s much better to be a wizard affiliated with a major guild, with plenty of money and leisure.

To be loved by your wife and become a rich dad.

But that’s just the story of ordinary wizards! Mamon chose summoning magic.

If he could only learn the magic that Monmeogeodogo possessed… even that annoying Draisier wouldn’t be a match for him.

“Is this Monmeogeodogo’s dungeon?”

Lich Mamon asked.

“No, it’s not. You’ve come to the wrong place.”

The humanoid Golem said those words and closed the door.

“Huh?”

Mamon was dumbfounded and couldn’t grab him, belatedly shouting.

“Hey, hey?”

Lich Mamon knocked on the door.

But the humanoid Golem didn’t reappear.

Mamon was speechless.

What kind of messed up situation is this?

* * *

Thirty Giant Trolls began to move south, 10 kilometers northwest of the Amazon Orc Warrior Village.

The Giant Trolls were similar in height to Ogres.

Their regeneration was also more powerful than ordinary Trolls. They were monsters that humans couldn’t possibly defeat.

Some even said that Giant Trolls were the strongest monsters on land.

If Sepia heard that, she would grab his head and perform a human candy trick [a gruesome method of killing someone].

To dare compare Trolls and Ogres.

In reality, Ogres were much stronger than Giant Trolls.

Even if two Giant Trolls attacked at the same time, they couldn’t beat an Ogre. They might be similar in size, but there was a clear difference in power between them.

The difference in strength.

The Ogre’s immense brute force could grab the Giant Troll’s body with both hands and split it in half.

But humans couldn’t split a Giant Troll in two. Moreover, even if you cut off their limbs with a mana blade, they would regenerate immediately.

To humans, Giant Trolls were much scarier.

And that was the same for the Orcs.

It was more difficult to deal with Giant Trolls.

Moreover, there weren’t just one or two, but thirty of them.

With this much power, even the Amazon Orc Warriors could be annihilated.

But the Orc Warriors weren’t afraid at all.

Rather, they sneered at the Giant Trolls who were drooling at them.

“I think you guys came to the wrong place?”

-Krrr.

The Giant Trolls’ murderous intent grew stronger.

Orcs should have been running away without looking back when they saw them. They could hunt those Orcs one by one, chasing after them.

That was the standard way to hunt.

They shouldn’t be standing there confidently, staring at them like that.

Worthless things, trying to die.

The Orc Warriors didn’t step forward.

As the Orc Warriors split to the sides, a man with a sword appeared.

A man who had abandoned his past.

For the sake of love(?), a man who had also abandoned his title, Porse.

He was holding a single sword. He wasn’t wearing armor. He had no shield.

Just an ordinary human man.

The only unusual thing was that his left arm was made of steel.

A steel arm.

The Giant Trolls had never seen one before.

“Are you okay? Mister.”

Jonas asked worriedly.

“I’m fine. But the title.”

“Ah. My mistake. Honey.”

“People will misunderstand if they hear that.”

“Everyone already knows you’re a thief anyway.”

“Hmm.”

Porse scratched his short beard. Yes, the whole territory knew.

-The strongest Orc warrior, Jonas, got married?

-What? To whom?

-She went to a divorcee.

-What? Isn’t Jonas crazy?

-He’s twenty-two years older than her.

-Wow! How could that happen? Why did our goddess Jonas do that?

-I don’t know. She must be possessed.

If this had spread to the capital, Poman, the backlash would have been no joke.

Marquis Porse’s remarriage.

All his rivals would be gathering information with their eyes wide open to find out the background. And that’s not all.

Jonas would have instantly become the eye of the storm.

But here?

He became an ordinary middle-aged thief who stole the young and vibrant Jonas. He was cursed so much that he felt like he wouldn’t die even if he didn’t eat for the rest of his life.

Maybe he became immortal just from being cursed.

“I’ll be back.”

“Be careful.”

Porse nodded and approached the Giant Trolls.

The Giant Trolls were dumbfounded.

A human who was much weaker in combat than the Orcs was walking towards them alone with a sword.

Judging by his eyes, it didn’t seem like he was trying to commit suicide.

They were so dumbfounded-

The Giant Troll at the front swung his arm wide. It was just a slap, but he could send a human flying 50 meters like it was nothing.

But-

Bang! Something pierced through his chest with a bang.

-Krrk?

The Giant Troll looked down at his chest.

His chest was really pierced. His heart was ruptured. Green blood poured out from the front and back of the hole.

Trolls had strong regeneration, but they died if their heart or head was destroyed.

That’s why the heart was surrounded by thick flesh and chest bones.

That was pierced in an instant. The Giant Troll at the front staggered.

Soon, his legs twisted and he fell forward with a thud.

The Giant Troll gasped for breath.

As expected of a Troll with high vitality, he wasn’t dead yet.

He turned around to ask for help. His eyes widened in disbelief.

A fist-

Was flying around.

He couldn’t even block it.

It was so fast that it couldn’t be seen. And it was so strong that some Giant Trolls raised their hands to block it, but it was useless.

The palms of their hands were pierced through.

The human’s fist pierced through the hearts of all the Giant Trolls.

The time it took for thirty Giant Trolls to be annihilated was less than a few minutes.

Porse’s arm, which had instantly annihilated the Giant Trolls, returned as if drawn by a magnet and attached to his elbow.

The Orcs were also surprised.

They knew that Porse was strong.

An existence that could fight Sepia and win. In the Dusseldorf Mountains, Sepia was one of the strongest monsters, except for dragons.

Porse was the man who defeated Sepia.

Even though he died to Legion and had to do PT [physical training] eight times all day, let’s not worry about Legion because he’s an exception from the start.

But the opponents were Giant Trolls.

And thirty of them.

In fact, Porse confidently stepped forward, but they thought he would have a hard time.

If he killed a lot, maybe ten?

That was the best they could hope for, and after that, they were planning to gather all the Orcs’ strength and launch a simultaneous attack.

But-

He annihilated them all by himself.

With just one left arm.

“I got a good son-in-law. He’s really like a monster.”

Amadeus clicked his tongue. Jonas felt proud for no reason, as if he was praising her.

Raiden, who was watching the scene from afar, clenched his fists tightly.

He was also a 7-star warrior [a high rank in martial prowess]. He was one of the kingdom’s seven strongest warriors, as determined by the royal family, but it was clear that he was just as strong.

Although his skills had declined slightly due to wandering for a while, he had almost recovered his former skills with blood-spitting efforts these days.

Even though he had regained his skills, he was not satisfied.

Rather, his self-loathing only grew. He was only back to his old self, but the people around him had become overwhelmingly stronger.

Even President Re’s exclusive servants were like that.

They used magic and aura at the same time. He was about to fall over in shock.

It was hard to believe, so he volunteered to spar with them.

They were much less skilled than him, but… he couldn’t underestimate them at all. Especially Bacon, Lotto, and Jonaen, he couldn’t let his guard down for a moment.

They were casting magic with their left hands and tearing through the air with aura blades with the swords in their right hands.

It was difficult to do one thing properly, but they were using two things freely.

Raiden was very embarrassed.

He was winning now, but if things continued like this, the day might come when he would lose to them. In particular, among the exclusive servants, there were those whose talents were worth aiming for 7 stars.

7-star swordsmanship, 7-circle magic [a high level of magical ability]!

When that moment came, he wouldn’t even dare to fight!

Is that all?

The soldiers on patrol-

The guards guarding the walls-

There wasn’t a single one of them who wasn’t skilled.

They never wasted time. After finishing their shifts, they would always train. There were plenty of strong people around them to teach them.

It was the best place to get stronger.

In addition, there was Crazy Draisier, an 8-star grandmaster, Lich Mamon, a 7-circle master. Dozens of wyverns with insane loyalty, the Ogre bodyguards who were threatening just by their existence, and they even got a Bone Dragon the other day.

Was that all?

There were at least 10,000 powerful monsters in the Dusseldorf Mountains who followed him.

Maybe he was already stronger than the entire kingdom’s forces?

Ah… he was ignoring it, but suddenly the Necromancer Shuttle heading towards 6-circle master came to mind.

He was a bit easy to deal with… but it seemed like he was good at flattery, and his skills had improved a lot lately.

Level up by flattering.

That’s the feeling.

Anyway, he was worried that if he lost to the Shuttle, he would be reduced to a bread shuttle [someone who is easily taken advantage of].

How could there be a territory with so many amazing powerhouses? Was President Re trying to conquer the continent?

I don’t know.

As a result of seeing him so far, he was definitely not a power-oriented person. His only interest was… he liked people’s praise, and he had a good mix of boasting and bluffing… he was like a demon king….

If there was anything he wanted, it was only money! Money! Money!

Did he have ancestors who starved to death in his previous life? I don’t know why he’s so obsessed with money.

Anyway, being here made him feel shabby.

Even though he was a 7-star warrior, he didn’t even want to brag about it anywhere.

“Marquis Porse… he’s like a phoenix.”

Raiden said in a small voice.

“I know. I didn’t think he would recover so quickly.”

Legion also admitted it.

Marquis Porse, no, he had thrown away his title and become a free man.

Because he was alone, he could enjoy freedom as he pleased. And he joined Jonas. They officially registered their marriage.

The two were now a couple.

Jonas would not go to the human territory following Porse.

Porse had to stay in the Orc Warrior Village.

What does that mean?

They could use a 7-star knight very cheaply.

So he splurged.

Porse’s steel arm.

He didn’t say it, but it was a work that cost a lot of money.

All kinds of minerals went into it. In particular, ‘Rocket Punch’ could be said to be the culmination of magic.

It was an attack that could inflict physical and magical damage at the same time.

Once launched, it flew at speeds of hundreds of kilometers per hour.

The hardness was beyond common sense, and the power was beyond imagination.

It would just break an average rock.

The same was true for physical and magical barriers.

In short, a magical weapon that far exceeded Legion’s expectations was completed. If Bidet saw that power, he would have been넋을 잃고 쳐다봤을 것이다 [넋을 잃고 쳐다봤을 것이다 is a Korean idiom that means to be so shocked that one is speechless and stares blankly].

If Porse were to combine that attack technique with the rampant use of aura in close combat, I think I would be in quite a bit of danger myself.

I should probably set up a contract.
