Magic Is Learned For Nothing [EN]: Chapter 315

Magic is Useless – 316

# 316

Street Battle 2

Golo Jump gnashed his teeth.

*If* he survived this, he would never let this go.

“How many are left?”

Golo Jump asked his subordinate.

“Four Black Knights, three Black Mages, and 34 Golems.”

“Hmm.”

Golo Jump let out a shallow groan.

Fortunately, he had only lost six Golems, but he had lost more than half of his main forces, the Black Knights and Mages. It was all because that stupid Izenbai went to Golo without putting up a proper fight.

If he had held out even a little longer, they wouldn’t have suffered such massive damage.

“Once we get out of this forest, it’s Legion Count’s mansion. He’s probably cowering in the mansion, scared out of his wits. There will be quite a few knights guarding him, but if we follow the plan, it won’t be difficult to catch him. Once we catch him, the knights won’t be able to do anything. So, let’s grab the Count and quickly checkmate him.”

“Understood.”

The subordinates nodded with grim expressions.

From far away, the sound of shelling could be heard, boom! boom!

Boom boom boom!

Illumination magic exploded in the sky incessantly. It seemed the Count’s men were putting up fierce resistance.

“Let’s hurry.”

Golo Jump and his subordinates finally left the forest.

It was the entrance to the mansion. It was very quiet. As befitting a territory awash with money, night-shining stones [magical stones that emit light] were lit everywhere to illuminate the darkness.

It was still early, but not even an ant could be seen. Everyone seemed to have run away quickly.

“Could there be an ambush?”

“Scan it.”

“Understood.”

The Black Mage thoroughly searched the area within a radius of several dozen meters. He shook his head at Golo Jump.

“No one is there.”

“Good. Then we quickly pass through the village. After this straight road is the Count’s mansion.”

“Understood.”

Golo Jump and his subordinates half-crouched and passed through the village.

Passing through the eerie village, with only night-shining stones lit, gave them a very strange feeling.

“Huff, huff.”

They arrived at the Count’s mansion.

Here too, no sign of life could be felt. From the entrance to the front gate of the mansion, only night-shining stones were neatly lit.

The lights inside the mansion were off.

“It looks like they’ve run away?”

Golo Jump nodded. His senses were telling him the same thing.

*No one is here.*

“Just in case, start searching. He’s the kind of guy who feeds humans to Wyverns [dragon-like creatures]. There might be some cruel traps hidden. Be careful.”

“Understood.”

They slowly approached the mansion.

Suddenly, Golo Jump looked at the moon in the sky and noticed something. *Wasn’t* there a huge statue looking down at them?

“Oh, jeez, you scared me.”

The statue was emitting such a ferocious light from its eyes that Golo Jump almost fell on his butt without realizing it.

Why hadn’t he noticed that there was such a large statue? It was much taller than the mansion.

*Isn’t* something a little strange?

“W, wait a minute.”

Golo Jump stopped his subordinates. The subordinates looked at Golo Jump with a “Why?” expression.

“C, can you feel a magical power fluctuation?”

“Huh? Oh, now that you mention it.”

Golo Jump’s expression gradually hardened.

“The magical power is getting stronger and stronger?”

“Oh, oh, oh? It’s exceeding the maximum limit in an instant. Ugh! The magic power measuring device I had broke.”

W, what on earth is this…….

“The magic power! It’s coming out of that statue’s mouth. What? What the heck is that?”

Golo Jump and his subordinates screamed in astonishment. An unimaginable amount of magical power was gathering in the statue’s mouth.

“That’s not a statue…….”

Only then did Golo Jump realize that it was not a statue.

“A…… Bone Dragon…… Why is it here…….”

Fwoosh ha ha ha!

In an instant, the Bone Dragon’s terrifying ice breath swept away Golo Jump, his subordinates, and the humanoid Golems.

They froze in that very position.

* * *

Doo doo doo doo doo-

Hundreds of magic bullets were pouring out from all directions.

Sparks flew and explosions occurred everywhere.

Lilac’s main force.

They had gathered only the ones with the strongest firepower.

The same went for the Golems. Their basic abilities were great, but they had added several attack spells to them.

So they were capable of mass destruction.

As soon as they entered the village, they unleashed attack magic without mercy.

But-

Something was strange.

This place, which should have been a scene of carnage with screams, blood, and fear, had no reaction at all.

She wanted to see men and women of all ages running out in terror, and Legion and Draiser going crazy as they violated them…….

She wanted to soothe her blackened insides by watching them get angry…….

How could not even an ant be seen?

The siren continued to blare. She smashed all the loudspeakers hanging everywhere.

It’s a little quieter now.

Still, no sign of life could be felt at all. Did they evacuate this quickly? But all the people in such a big village couldn’t have hidden.

“Set everything on fire!”

If they set fire to it, the rats would have to come out.

Humanoid Golems emitted flames and set fire to the wooden houses first.

The wooden houses were engulfed in flames in an instant.

Black Knights rushed into the houses. There was no one there.

Even more enraged, Lilac decided to raze the village to the ground.

“Burn this place without leaving a single blade of grass!”

While Lilac was urging her subordinates like that, Legion appeared, leading his subordinates.

Lilac believed that although they had more numbers, her side would have far superior firepower.

But-!

“Golem No. 12 destroyed! Inoperable! The core is broken.”

“Golem No. 34 destroyed! Inoperable! The core is also broken!”

The Black Mages controlling the Golems let out shallow groans here and there.

“I know! I have eyes, I’m watching!”

Lilac clenched her fists tightly and trembled.

Legion’s soldiers!

Ordinary soldiers, who would only be used as consumables on the battlefield, were emitting Mana Blades [blades of pure magical energy].

How on earth could soldiers fight on par with the Black Knights, no…… more perfectly?

“T, t, that.”

Three soldiers annihilated the Golem while randomly firing Mana Blades.

Some soldiers emitted Aura Blades [blades enhanced with life energy] on their own and stabbed the Golem’s core with their swords.

Some soldiers emitted magic in their left hands and Aura Blades in their right hands.

Lilac is an artificial life form.

Thanks to that, she gained a long life.

The order given to her was the resurrection of Cyclops [a mythical one-eyed giant]. While resurrecting Cyclops, she also gained a tremendous amount of experience. Many believers ignored her, but she persevered.

And she rose to the position of Bishop.

So she also learned some of the Stone Head Church’s top secrets. In the process, she also learned that there were many secret units that were unimaginably strong.

But she could say with certainty that she had never seen so many units using magic and Aura Blades at the same time.

In a word, it was absurd.

“Count! Where is the Count?”

Lilac shouted.

“Approaching from the center.”

“Where?”

“He is approaching from the center.”

Because there were so many explosions, it was hard to hear even if she shouted loudly. The Black Mage pointed to the central road with his finger and shouted.

*When* on earth did that guy go there?

He was truly elusive.

All the information was wrong.

Emon, you son of a bitch!

She paid him a huge commission.

But the information that guy gave her was trash. No…… most of it was right…… but the combat power part was too different.

In particular, the information about Legion Count and Draiser was completely wrong.

Thanks to that, she was now paying the price.

“Concentrate the firepower on the Count!”

“If we concentrate the firepower on the Count, we won’t be able to stop the other enemies. They…… are too strong than expected!”

“I know! I know, so concentrate the firepower on the Count right now!”

“A, understood.”

The Black Mages who received the order changed the position of the Golems’ magic attacks.

The magic bullets they fired all poured down on Legion.

The magic bullets failed to penetrate Legion Count’s barrier and were all bounced off.

Kukukukukung!

The same was true even when Explosion magic exploded in succession. It couldn’t even touch a speck of dust on Legion Count’s shoulder.

“What the hell is that monster!”

Despair was gradually settling on everyone’s faces.

* * *

Legion was holding the strongest staff ever.

Just holding it sent an enormous amount of magic power surging into his dantian [energy center]. The incredible option of 200 percent magic power enhancement endlessly amplified all the magic power Legion possessed.

He was using that unbelievable power for the first time.

“Iron Double Shield!”

“Physical defense power increased!”

“Delay Healing!”

“Strength Enhancement!”

“Stamina Preservation!”

He cast all the high-level magic at once.

Perhaps because of the overflowing magic power, the amount of magic power being replenished was greater than the amount of magic power being used.

“Shall we go?”

Legion, holding the staff, approached the humanoid Golems that were gradually advancing.

Doo doo doo doo doo-

Hundreds of magic bullets crashed into Legion’s barrier. No matter how much they pounded, Legion’s barrier showed no signs of breaking.

Anyway, the distance between them wasn’t that far.

Legion approached the humanoid Golem that was firing magic at him from the closest distance.

Even though he was right in front of it, the humanoid Golem didn’t make any expression. Legion swung the staff at the humanoid Golem.

It was split in a straight line from the crown of its head to its crotch.

“Oh, oh! What an amazing feeling of impact.”

Legion smiled with satisfaction.

The strongest staff ever made its first appearance in the world.

Legion advanced like a tank. Once he gained momentum, he and the staff became one and began to ravage the humanoid Golems.

“T, t…… that crazy bastard. Is that really a staff?”

Lilac shouted in bewilderment.

The Golems were able to exert their power when they were far away, but when it came to close combat, they couldn’t even be compared in the first place.

The same was true even if they regenerated.

“I’ll break you over and over again!”

Legion swung the staff like a storm.

Surprisingly, a blunt form of Aura was being emitted from the staff. The Aura began to smash the Golems mercilessly.

The Golems were destroyed and lay scattered on the floor.

Legion stepped on the core, which was the size of a fingernail, with his foot and shattered it.

“Lilac! Don’t just stand there, why don’t you come over here!”

Legion’s eyes were fixed on Lilac’s pale face.

“Don’t come, you monster!”

Lilac scattered the staff, and strong magic flew towards Legion. But that disappeared with a few of Legion’s stomps.

Soon, she turned her back and started to run away.

“Do you think I’ll let you get away?”

Legion’s lips twisted.

It was then.

Thud!

A giant Golem that appeared out of nowhere stepped on Lilac, who was turning her back and running away.

“Huh?”

“Huh?”

Everyone stopped for a moment at the sudden situation.
