Magic Is Learned For Nothing [EN]: Chapter 383

Nightmare Begins 1

“Oh, what? You?”

Someone blocked Legion’s path after he had laid waste to the human modification knights.

Bacon and his men initially thought, ‘How dare they, without fear?’ but were soon mesmerized by the beauty of the woman blocking their master’s way.

The estate had many beautiful women.

For some reason, there were strangely many beauties. Perhaps it was because they lived in a cold region, but the natives’ skin was white and translucent.

They were quite different from the women of the maritime city of CM, who had tanned skin.

However, even all those women combined could not compare to the woman blocking their master’s path.

One might even think an angel who had lost her wings was here.

“Master, what is it? Who is that woman? Is she an angel?”

Bacon asked cautiously.

“Can’t you tell by looking?”

Legion replied curtly.

“Is she really an angel?”

“Stop talking nonsense about angels. Have you ever seen such an ugly angel?”

“Hey! You call me ugly one more time, and I’ll tear your mouth apart.”

Monshang-nyeo, infuriated, shouted.

She was deeply regretting it. If she had known she would meet that damned bastard again, she might have given up this request.

No.

She shook her head.

She couldn’t have given up.

The maintenance cost for the portal connecting Hell and the human realm was enormous. It cost almost 100,000 gold per month, which was beyond imagination.

And that wasn’t all.

She had to pay the salaries of the Hell beasts always on standby, provide them with mana, pay for their meals, and give them bonuses. It was nothing but a loss.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say her back was breaking trying to feed them.

She sometimes regretted making a contract with them.

Of course, everything would be resolved if she returned to Hell.

She planned to return to Hell once she found her looks and never come back to the human realm.

But….

For some reason, she stayed here.

She didn’t even take the potion that could lift the curse.

Why?

Did she have lingering feelings for the human realm?

She realized it when she saw Legion.

It was the Hell God’s decree to take revenge in this life.

Look at that arrogant face.

Even if she didn’t know him, she’d still want to punch that face.

“Wow! She’s pretty even when she’s angry. How do you know Master?”

“From before.”

“From before? We’ve never seen her before.”

“Hey, I don’t have to report my past lives to you guys, do I?”

“Past lives?”

“Yeah, past lives.”

The subordinates blinked at their master. They had long known their master was eccentric, but remembering past lives?

They didn’t even want to ask if it was possible.

They just couldn’t believe it, even if they wanted to.

“She’s a woman I knew back then.”

“……”

Bacon staggered.

Talking to the master always made him dizzy. Anyone who heard it would say the master was crazy.

Or that he had a lying disorder.

The problem was that 98 percent of the master’s words were true.

That is, that woman really knew the master from a past life.

“Ah, and don’t pay attention to her.”

“Why?”

His interest had already disappeared at the fact that she had a relationship with the master from a past life.

Rather, he became interested in the master’s words.

“What’s her job now? Ah, she’s called the Wandering Monshang-nyeo, or something.”

“The Wandering Monshang-nyeo?”

“Yeah.”

In an instant, everyone’s eyes widened.

Unique.

The only woman among the kingdom’s Seven Great Warriors was the Wandering Monshang-nyeo.

They didn’t think her name would be Monshang-nyeo.

It was probably a nickname.

How ugly would she have to be for her nickname to be Monshang-nyeo?

The most popular people in the kingdom were none other than the kingdom’s Seven Great Warriors.

Dreyger was so popular that they even sold laminated bookmarks with his portrait.

Marquis Porse even filmed an advertisement giving a thumbs up and saying, ‘I love you, Hyukiss.’

The most popular of the Seven Great Warriors was Don Deckman.

He was quiet now, but when he was active, a fan club of 100,000 Don Deckman was created.

Most of the Seven Great Warriors of the kingdom were so popular, so why wasn’t the only woman, the Wandering Monshang-nyeo, popular?

It was because of her appearance.

If Monshang-nyeo was pretty, she would have gained unimaginable popularity.

Everyone thought so.

But!

The Monshang-nyeo they saw was not ugly at all. She was so pretty that it was hard to take their eyes off her.

They didn’t know what crazy bastard gave Monshang-nyeo such a nickname.

“It’s not a nickname. It’s my real name!”

Monshang-nyeo glared at Bacon. She was already angry that these guys were commenting on her appearance, but now they were making fun of her name.

Originally, in Hell, Monshang-nyeo meant ‘beautiful and noble.’

But when she came to the human realm, the meaning of her name completely changed.

Why wouldn’t she know what Monshang-nyeo meant [ugly woman]?

The reason she didn’t change her name was because of her pride as the Queen of Hell.

“Hey, you guys go help Dreyger or something.”

Legion waved his hand at Bacon.

“What about you, Master?”

“I need to finish things with that woman.”

“Are you going to kill her?”

Legion stared blankly at Bacon. What does this bastard think I am?

“I’m just going to teach her a lesson and send her away.”

“Ah, I understand.”

“Why are you relieved?”

“Me?”

“Yeah, you just sighed in relief.”

“That’s not true. You must have seen wrong.”

Legion narrowed his brows. He saw it right in front of him, but he’s pretending not to know. When they return to the estate, he will conduct guerrilla training again. With the name ‘Hell’ attached to it.

“Anyway, go.”

“I’ll attach a guard.”

“Who’s guarding who? It’s okay. Go.”

“I misspoke. I’ll attach a subordinate to die in your place, not a guard. Master is precious.”

“Hey, if you die in my place, I’ll have bad dreams. It’s okay, go. I’ll catch up soon.”

“I understand. Take care.”

“Don’t worry.”

Bacon and his men turned their horses around. Thanks to Master and Mammon, they were able to wipe out the powerful human modification knights in a short amount of time.

The human modification knights didn’t even have the *yoyu* [余裕; leeway, room to spare] to pay attention to them.

They had to deal with the giant Bone Dragon and Steel Golem in front of them, so they didn’t have the *yoyu* to pay attention to them.

Thanks to that, they were able to finish off those who were considered the most difficult without much loss.

-Kuooh!

The Bone Dragon’s roar, slowly moving towards the central army, echoed throughout the battlefield.

It goes without saying that the faces of the Gongwang army turned white.

Certainly, the victory was leaning towards this side.

That’s why the master is telling them to rest assured.

To be honest, they all want to stay and protect the master. If not all, at least three or four.

But their master wouldn’t listen to them.

Especially when it comes to matters of battle.

“Then we’ll go first.”

Bacon and his men turned their horses towards Dreyger.

“Well, all the interrupters are gone. So, what are you going to do? Really try to kill me?”

Legion said, dusting off his hands.

Even his actions were hateful to Monshang-nyeo.

At least….

She would break one of his legs before stopping.

She almost died several times from frustration because of that bastard in her past life.

She would take her revenge here!

“Hellfire!”

Seven holes appeared around Monshang-nyeo. They seemed to be incredibly deep holes. The sound of the wind coming from the holes was so deep and eerie.

Gooooooo!

Intense pillars of fire erupted from the seven holes. The pillars of fire soared hundreds of meters into the sky.

The pillars of fire, stretching out, fiercely rotated, becoming a whirlwind of fire.

Kukukukukuku!

The whirlwind of fire instantly swallowed everything around it. Anything sucked into the whirlwind of fire turned to ashes and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Hme!

Legion hiccuped without realizing it.

It seemed like that woman was determined.

The seven pillars of fire were more powerful than any fire magic Legion possessed.

“Don’t die easily. You damned ex-husband.”

“Ah, God. Why am I so unhappy even after being reborn?”

“Shut up! I’m the one who’s unhappy!”

* * *

The midday sun, when the autumn sunlight was the warmest, had passed.

The sun was already setting. In the distance, the red sunset filled the battlefield.

But the battle showed no signs of ending. Rather, it felt like it was heading towards its climax.

No one put down their sword.

No one shouted, ‘Stop.’

The soldiers also knew.

Only the one who wins this battle gets everything. The loser receives no forgiveness.

However, a variable occurred.

The total number of deaths from both armies was approximately 100,000. One in three had lost their lives.

They were heading towards mutual destruction, each slowly eating away at the other’s life force.

Then, the dead comrades were resurrected.

Undead.

There were many monsters on the continent, but the ones humans feared the most were the undead.

They preyed on humans’ primal fears.

Darkness and blood.

That’s why they feared the undead far more than the more ferocious and savage monsters.

Such beings….

As many as 100,000 were resurrected.

There was no precedent in history for so many dead to be resurrected.

It was true that black mages raised the undead, but they never resurrected the dead who were outside their control.

The undead hate humans.

They not only hate but also thoroughly destroy and turn them into their own kind.

Once you become undead, your soul wanders the heavens forever. Rebirth becomes impossible.

Whether that was true or not, the priest preached so.

That’s why humans had an even greater fear of the undead.

100,000 such undead.

The undead are most powerful on the night of the full moon.

They are even more powerful on the battlefield where the full moon rises. Death makes the undead stronger.

And that death was rampant here.

-Krrr.

The 100,000 undead indiscriminately began to attack both the Gongwang and the King’s armies simultaneously.

* * *

Gongwang urgently sought out Coneri and Berimore. They were sitting on top of the spire, leisurely eating a late lunch and watching the battlefield that had turned into hell.

Gongwang told his escort knights to wait, then climbed up to the spire.

“You guys! What are you doing!”

Gongwang shouted as soon as he saw Coneri and Berimore.

Surprised, Berimore dropped her lunch box. The lunch box hit the spire wall a few times and disappeared into an unseen place.

“Ah, that’s a waste. It was a limited edition special menu from Dekarson bought at the convenience store.”

Berimore clicked her tongue.

One fact that no one knew.

Legion had opened a convenience store in his estate. This was because there were many people who worked 24 hours a day due to the nature of the estate.

If a convenience store is next to a department store, sales increase three or four times.

The self-proclaimed master merchant, Deungcheo, got the idea from that and opened convenience stores nationwide.

There are convenience stores in the capital city of Poman as well.

In particular, the most famous product was the food of Dekarson, who was called the Dragon Chef.

He said he was Baek Jong-won [a famous South Korean chef and TV personality] in his past life, but no one knew who he was.

Anyway, the food he made sold like hotcakes. Deungcheo signed an exclusive contract with Dekarson, and both of them were raking in money.

The convenience store lunch box that Berimore bought was also ‘Mom’s Hand 9-Course Meal’ invented by Dekarson.

It was the most delicious food she had ever eaten in her life.

She had said several times that she could overcome hardships and trials when she ate Mom’s Hand 9-Course Meal. Such a lunch box that she hadn’t even finished fell down there.

“What is it! How rude!”

Berimore, filled with annoyance, shouted at Gongwang.

“Rude? Rude? You bastards! You created this mess and you’re looking for manners?
