Magic is Learned for Nothing – Episode 371

# 371

Your Reflection in the Window 1

Abreham watched Monsenger and Legion disappear into the distance. Legion, holding her hand, left with the cute words, “Grandma, you must come visit our territory. Promise? Okay?”

Legion.

She grew up so well.

Even though she often said things that turned his stomach, it was still cute.

Blood is thicker than water, it seems.

But…….

Abreham put his hands behind his back and looked at the stars in the sky. The constellations were unsettling.

Not so good things were happening all over the continent.

“Originally, you two should have met in three years. But thanks to the meddling of the publishing company president, you met much earlier. Whether this will end well or badly, no one knows. I just hope you two can join forces to overcome this turbulent time.”

Kukukukung!

Another explosion erupted from the far end of the Dark Wood.

It seemed Legion and Monsenger were at it again.

I wish they would go completely different ways. Why do they keep fighting without rest while going the same way?

“Well, they say a married couple’s fight is like cutting water with a knife [meaning it leaves no lasting damage].”

Abreham opened the Dark Wood’s gate. Now, Monsenger and Legion would go out into the world again.

“Is it my turn now?”

Abreham slowly turned around. The warm gaze that had been watching Legion and Monsenger was gone.

Cold and indifferent.

As she looked at the sky, a portal was forcibly being created. A man with black hair appeared, tearing through space with tremendous magical power.

“Old hag! Give me my body back!”

* * *

Dreyza, Momma Ujiro, Jason, Bacon, Lotto, Jonnaen, Poop, and Pirania moved together.

All of them were warriors of 6-star level or higher.

Bacon, Lotto, Jonnaen, Poop, and Pirania also used 5th circle magic.

They could be said to be the strongest warriors in the Legion army. Dreyza’s personal guards, exclusive servants, Abdul Jabbar, Beef, and Rice were also strong, but not to the extent that they could be called ‘overwhelming’ against anyone.

The goal this time was to take the heads [kill] of key figures in the Gongwang Army.

There was no need to bring mediocre people and increase sacrifices.

In short, they had to finish the job without anyone knowing.

To do so, it was necessary to consist of only the best warriors.

They were all using the ‘Treading on Leaves’ technique [a martial art skill for moving silently and quickly], running as if flying.

If other knights saw it, they would clutch their necks and fall [be shocked]. Not just one person, but all of them were using a super-rising level of lightness skill.

Not a single one of them lost their breath.

“Stop for a moment.”

Dreyza, who was running, stopped as if it were a lie. [immediately]

Momma Ujiro stopped with his upper body shaking slightly, and Jason and Bacon went ahead a step or two, unable to overcome the speed. Lotto, Jonnaen, Poop, and Pirania were thrown forward several meters.

The ones who went the furthest blushed slightly.

This was where the difference in skill came out.

It wasn’t just a matter of simple lightness skill.

It meant that they couldn’t control the overall balance of their bodies.

“They appeared again.”

“Again?”

Momma Ujiro narrowed his brows.

“There are more deserters than I thought.”

In the darkness-

Bacon looked in the direction where he couldn’t see anything and clicked his tongue.

“About 300 people.”

Poop said.

“321 to be exact. It seems that a noble is among them. They are abandoning all the soldiers and trying to surrender to the Gongwang Army with only their close aides.”

Bacon replied.

Poop scratched the back of his head.

There was a clear difference in skill between him and Bacon. To be able to see their figures in detail even in this darkness where there was no moonlight or starlight.

“Bacon.”

“Yes, Dreyza-nim.”

“Take the kids and quietly persuade them. Tell them to go in and sleep.”

“We can’t kill them, right?”

“Why would you kill them? They’re going to go in and sleep quietly.”

“Hmph, I understand.”

Dreyza’s meaning was clear.

If you kill them, you’ll die too. Is that all you’re capable of? That was the meaning.

If he was told to do it, he had to do it. What power did he have?

Bacon took his subordinates and dashed into the darkness. Surprisingly, even the sound of their running could not be heard.

“There are some over here too.”

“Shall we take care of them too and go?”

“We have to. If they leave their posts, the other soldiers will be shaken. It’s better for them to just stay in the unit. At least there won’t be any more deserters after tomorrow.”

Dreyza was confident that this operation would succeed.

Momma Ujiro and Jason smirked as they looked at the confident Dreyza.

As expected of their lord.

When they were with their lord, it felt like nothing was impossible.

“Let’s go.”

Dreyza’s body began to move silently.

It moved without a sound, but the speed was faster than a carriage. It was a formidable speed.

Mamma Ujiro and Jason gritted their teeth and followed Dreyza.

They ambushed an unknown noble who was secretly deserting.

“Damn it, I told my father so many times that you have to pick the right side. Don’t you think so?”

Baron Middlefinger ran across the plain, breathing heavily. He was going around the battlefield for a long way.

Nevertheless, the stench of blood from the battlefield did not seem to go away.

The nauseating smell of blood seemed to tear his lungs.

Baron Middlefinger and his 300 guards were all that his family had.

His family had brought 1,200 people, including soldiers, to participate in this civil war.

But watching Marquis Gaggle die so miserably, he realized.

We can never beat the Gongwang Army.

Even without Marquis Forsay, who was called the God of War, they were perfectly strong.

The Gongwang’s Five Great Warriors were more amazing than he had thought.

Marquis Gaggle, who had felt so scary, was killed without even using his full strength.

So Baron Middlefinger immediately changed his mind.

Rather than having his family wiped out here, he would rather join the Gongwang faction late.

He would go and kneel before Gongwang and apologize.

At least he would be allowed to keep his baronial title.

That’s what Baron Middlefinger thought.

It was then.

“Go back.”

“Huh?”

Wasn’t someone running next to Baron Middlefinger?

Baron Middlefinger didn’t even notice that someone was running next to him.

No, until just now, his adjutant John Bob was running with him. He disappeared without a trace.

Baron Middlefinger quickly stopped. As he stopped, the other knights who were running behind him also stopped running.

But now it was night with deep darkness.

It was so dark that you couldn’t even see the back of your hand even if you held it out.

They were deserting, so they didn’t use any magical tools.

So when they stopped in front, they crashed into each other from behind.

A ridiculous situation occurred where more than 300 warriors were tangled up and falling over each other.

“Oh, I’m going to die.”

“Cough. What’s going on all of a sudden?”

“Ugh, hey, my leg. Someone’s stepping on my leg.”

The only person who was okay was Baron Middlefinger. He turned his head and looked at where his subordinates were.

As he stared into the darkness, he could see what had happened.

Baron Middlefinger was so dumbfounded that he just stood there blankly.

Bacon was just as dumbfounded.

He never thought they would be such a disorganized rabble. He just surprised them, and 300 people got tangled up at once.

This was like winning before even fighting.

If these guys were the enemy, a great massacre would have begun.

“Hey.”

Bacon called out to Baron Middlefinger, who was standing there blankly. Still out of his mind, Baron Middlefinger didn’t respond.

“If I do this to a noble, won’t my head be cut off? Unlike our master, nobles will cut off the heads of commoners like me.”

“Who’s going to cut off whose head?”

“The nobles will cut off my head.”

“They can do that enough. We’re commoners.”

“That’s what I’m saying.”

“Dreyza-nim will shield you.”

“That guy’s a commoner too.”

“Oh, right. Then the master will shield us.”

“Right? We’re the only exclusive servants, so he won’t let our heads fly off, right?”

“Of course. If we disappear, the master will be quite inconvenienced.”

“Good. Then let’s trust the master and go all out.”

Bacon slapped Baron Middlefinger hard twice on the cheek.

It seemed like Baron Middlefinger was coming back to his senses. He had only been hit twice, but his molars were broken.

He was hit really hard.

“Still not coming to your senses.”

Bacon grabbed Middlefinger’s collar. He slapped him hard on the cheek again.

Baron Middlefinger’s head snapped back and forth from how hard he was hit.

His nose was broken, and his eardrums were blown.

Two more teeth were broken.

Baron Middlefinger had never been slapped so hard in his life.

The fact that his subordinates had all fallen over each other was gone from his mind.

Now, only his own safety mattered.

“P, please save me.”

Middlefinger begged, terrified.

Who the opponent was was a matter for later. This was not the King’s army’s base either.

He felt like there was no one to help him. That’s why he was even more afraid of the opponent.

“Does it hurt?”

“Huh?”

“Does it hurt?”

“Y, yes, it hurts a little.”

“Yeah, I ran away too, so I hurt too.”

“Huh?”

“Go back when I’m saying good things. You don’t have to fight if you go back. So just stay in your place.”

“What does that mean?”

“I’m watching you. If you think about running away again, I’ll destroy not only you but also your family. I’ll wipe out every last dog.”

It would have been really cool if I had shown him the magic sword here. Unfortunately, I couldn’t do that.

Not only the King’s army but also the Gongwang army were activating CCTV magic everywhere.

It was too dark now to accurately grasp the situation, but if they used a technique that was easily noticeable like a magic sword, the enemy’s vigilance might increase.

I couldn’t dig my own grave by putting on a cool show.

“W, who are you?”

“I am the assassination squad of Duke Sijinpi.”

“A, an assassination squad!”

There’s no such thing.

Even if there was, he wouldn’t know. He was just bluffing for now.

“Yeah, you’re caught. So go back and stay as quiet as a mouse. If you get caught running away again, your parents and children will have to deal with the aftermath. Got it?”

“Y, yes, I understand.”

Baron Middlefinger’s face turned white, and he nodded frantically.

They lowered their heads and went back the way they came.

Bacon checked the time.

He had wasted two hours catching the deserters and sending them back. But he couldn’t just leave them alone.

Aside from the King’s army’s morale being broken, if they knocked on the castle gates and surrendered, it would be difficult for Dreyza to infiltrate.

For them to infiltrate, they had to be very quiet.

It would be even better if it was a night like now, with no moonlight.

“Where is Dreyza-nim?”

Jonnaen looked around and asked.

No matter how he looked, he couldn’t find Dreyza with his abilities.

“Come to the wall soon.”

“To the wall?”

“Yeah, he’s signaling like that with his fingers. He’s telling us to jump over the wall right away. He says anyone who can’t jump over will die by his hand rather than the enemy’s.”

“I, I see. It might be happier to die by the enemy’s hand.”

Jonnaen, Poop, and Pirania’s faces turned white.

Dreyza, who was famous for being bad-tempered even in the territory. If he was determined to train them, they would definitely become stronger.

And their personalities would become paralyzed.

There was nothing good about offending him.

“Hey, if you don’t follow me right away, be prepared!”

Bacon said, startled.

Jonnaen thought he was better off.

Dreyza was scolding Bacon in the darkness. It was estimated to be at least 2 kilometers away.

Even if your skills are too good, you get scolded.

Jonnaen was thinking that it might be better to have slightly lower skills and not get scolded.

“Hey! Run quickly!”

A startled Bacon immediately used the ‘Treading on Leaves’ technique to run as if flying.

His exclusive servants followed closely behind him.

“Hey! Run quickly! Oh, Dreyza-nim is going over the wall. Ugh! Pirania. He pointed at you.”

“Me? Why me?”

“He said you’re lacking.”

“Lacking? What?”

“I don’t know either. He just said you’re lacking. Run quickly if you don’t want to go sightseeing in hell.”

For the exclusive servants, carrying out Dreyza’s orders felt more difficult than striking the enemy’s leadership.
