Magic Is Learned For Nothing [EN]: Chapter 403

# 404

Shouting Love in the Heart of the Desert (2)

Legion, who had been sleeping, opened his eyes.

He was now slightly different from ordinary people. There was no question that he was young, robust, and his *doppelganger* [a humorous term for his morning erection] stirred every morning, but it would be more accurate to say he was more sensitive.

-The Reality and Future of the Grand Master.

Liar, a famous author who wrote the book, wrote this:

-If a Sword Master is a superhuman who transcends human abilities, then a Grand Master can be said to be a superhuman closest to God.

Their abilities are close to God.

They can tear the sky and destroy the earth.

They have a sixth sense.

They can hear and analyze the words of everyone within a radius of hundreds of kilometers. Therefore, it is impossible to assassinate them.

Legion also had dreams and hopes while reading the book when he was young.

If I become a Grand Master, will I have such abilities?

I wonder if I can become invisible?

When he was young, Legion’s wish was to peek into the women’s bathhouse.

Other children-

“I saw Anzale taking a bath.”

“Really? How was it?”

“It was quite a sight.”

“Wow, awesome. Where did you see it?”

“There’s a bathhouse in the village, right?”

“Yeah.”

“If you go around the back of that building, the owner has stacked boxes. If you step on them and climb up, you can see inside the women’s bathhouse.”

“Wow! I have to go too!”

“Me too, me too.”

Legion was the lord’s son, so he couldn’t bring himself to say ‘me too’.

This is a secret…….

Legion once broke his arm when he was 12 years old.

He was secretly peeking into the women’s bathhouse when he heard someone shout, ‘Who’s there!’ and fell off the box in surprise, breaking his arm.

Legion groaned alone and pretended to collapse near his house.

No one knows.

No one in the world knows.

Not even his parents knew.

It was a secret that no one should know.

Anyway, he thought that if he became a Grand Master, he would have the ability to become invisible even without using magic.

But now that he had become a Grand Master.

He realized that the writer named Liar, who wrote the book ‘The Reality and Future of the Grand Master,’ was full of crap.

Everything from chapter 1 to the epilogue is a lie.

I knew it; even the name sounded like a lie.

You become incredibly strong when you become a Grand Master.

I admit that.

Superhuman?

That’s right.

But you can’t hear all the sounds within hundreds of kilometers. Analyze them automatically?

What a load of crap.

If such enormous information came in non-stop, the brain would not be able to handle the overload and explode.

Grand Masters are also human.

Their physical abilities become incomparably stronger, but the saying that they are like gods was completely different.

Still, they are good enough at sensing danger.

Legion raised his upper body.

A huge amount of murderous intent was rushing towards this place. The speed at which they were approaching was quite fast.

Comparing their combat power, all of them were 5-star or higher.

-Presumed to be monsters.

Mark said.

“Monsters?”

-Yes, sir. It would be better to check first.

Legion nodded and left the barracks.

Shuttle, who saw Legion leaving while he was sleeping, briefly raised his head and immediately pretended to sleep.

In case he made eye contact with Legion, he thought he would be told to follow.

Snore!

He deliberately made snoring sounds even though he wasn’t sleeping.

Legion stared at Shuttle for a moment and then went outside the barracks.

Shuttle clenched his fist.

Nice.

That was very natural.

Legion, who came out of the barracks, ran into the mercenary captain Surprise.

Since the number of mercenaries was small, even the captain seemed to be standing guard.

“Are you going to the bathroom?”

Surprise bowed to Legion with extreme politeness. The other party was a Duke.

The only two high-ranking nobles in the kingdom.

He was not someone who should be in a place like this alone. The necromancer Shuttle was following him, but he felt more like an attendant than a guard.

In other words, the great noble Duke Legion had visited this place alone, which was extremely dangerous.

Surprise was unconsciously thinking that he had to protect Legion.

That should take precedence over any orders he received. The other subordinates also knew that. When Legion first told his subordinates that he was a Duke, they didn’t believe him. What kind of Duke wanders around alone? He was handsome, but he also seemed a bit dim-witted.

The subordinates said that couldn’t be true.

Although they had never seen a Duke in person, they said he wouldn’t be like that.

The Duke they imagined had to be old. At least in his mid-50s.

He had to have a white beard and hair. That’s how you get the atmosphere.

He had to carry a cane, wear incredibly expensive clothes, and naturally speak in informal language.

That’s a Duke.

Surprise beat up his subordinates a bit.

The only way to bring back the consciousness of insane people is physical pain.

After getting beaten a bit, the subordinates forcibly believed that Legion was a Duke.

Because they would be beaten more if they didn’t believe.

In fact, there were still more mercenaries who thought Legion was not a Duke.

“No.”

Legion shook his head at Surprise’s question.

“The desert dawn is cold. You might catch a cold. Shall I bring you a blanket?”

“No, it’s okay. I just have something to check.”

“What is it? Tell us to do it. We’ll take care of it quickly.”

“No, it’s faster for me to do it.”

Legion waved his hand and raised his foot into the air. There was nothing in the air he stepped on.

He stepped on the opposite foot again.

As if climbing stairs, he stepped on the air and rose into the sky.

“Huh?”

“Huh?”

Surprise and the mercenary subordinate unknowingly pointed at Legion with their fingers.

They doubted their eyes.

Was what they were seeing real?

Legion was rising higher and higher. He was already dozens of meters above the ground.

He didn’t seem to have any intention of stopping. If it weren’t for the moonlight, they wouldn’t have been able to see how high Duke Legion had risen.

At least…….

He walked on the sky and rose to hundreds of meters above the ground.

Should we believe this?

Surprise waved his hand in the air where Legion had stepped.

As expected-

There was nothing there.

Surprise looked back and forth between Legion, who had risen into the sky, and his subordinate with a blank face.

“W-what did we just see?”

“I-I’m sorry. I didn’t believe that he was Duke Legion. I believe it. I believe it now. I’m really sorry.”

The young mercenary trembled, unable to overcome his fear.

* * *

Flapping, flapping.

A rather cold wind was blowing in the sky. It brushed past Legion’s entire body.

He looked towards the place where there was a huge and miscellaneous murderous aura. Using both vision amplification magic and night vision magic at the same time, he could see very far.

He would have been able to identify objects more clearly during the day, but he was satisfied with this much.

If the weather conditions were bad or a sandstorm was blowing, even Legion would not have been able to see more than hundreds of meters.

Doo doo doo doo-

Something can be seen in the distance.

Legion frowned.

Huge snakes, insects, and earthworms were rushing towards the camp at a rapid speed.

“What are those?”

-They are desert monsters.

“Why do they all look like that?”

The size of the monsters in the desert is larger than ordinary monsters.

That’s why they are called monsters.

The smallest monster is well over 3 meters tall. Because they were such dangerous beings, they were called monsters and beasts other than monsters.

But…….

No matter how he looked at them, they were far from Legion’s common sense.

The smallest monsters were over 10 meters tall. The largest, like that Sandworm, was a whopping 50 meters long. There were over 100 of those guys.

The monsters were rushing straight towards the camp.

By now, the camp would have noticed something was wrong due to the vibrations.

-Do you remember the human改造knights? [Human Modification Knights]

“I know.”

-It feels similar to that.

Human改造soldiers become significantly stronger than their original abilities. Instead, even gentle people become very aggressive.

Mark compared those monsters to them.

“The human改造soldiers’ bodies didn’t change.”

-Wouldn’t it be a more advanced experiment?

“Then that means someone experimented on the monsters.”

-Probably.

He vaguely remembered hearing the conversation between Temptation and Profiler.

He wasn’t interested, so he didn’t pay attention.

What did they say was the reason why the scholars set up camp here?

Ah!

They said that many mutated monsters appeared here, and they were investigating the reason.

Unfortunately, he found out the reason before the scholars did.

Those are…….

They were bio-weapons.

He seemed to know who was doing such a thing.

-What are you going to do?

“What do you mean, what am I going to do?”

-Are you going to dispose of them all?

“I can’t do that.”

-Then?

“There’s a saying from a wise man, ‘An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.'”

-What are you trying to do?

“You’ll see.”

Legion fired illumination magic into the air. Hundreds of lights exploded in the air at once.

It was as if the sun had suddenly exploded. The burning lights slowly lost their light and fell to the ground.

The surroundings became as bright as day.

Due to the sudden situation, the monsters, who had been running non-stop, briefly stopped and looked up at the sky.

Perhaps because it was too bright, the monsters frowned.

“Come out! Mammon!”

At that moment, a subspace opened, and a huge pressure was released to the outside.

Even Mammon was a black magician who reached the 8th circle. But Mammon wasn’t the only one there.

A Bone Dragon with the strongest magical resistance.

Daganda Z with the strongest physical resistance.

The three monsters popped out of the subspace at the same time. The magical power they emitted was so great that even creatures tens of kilometers away could feel it.

No, even the soldiers guarding the walls of the military city of Focus felt the magical power and retreated. The walls shook with a buzzing sound!

The magic barrier reacted to their magical power and automatically wrapped around the walls.

The surprised commanders couldn’t even put on their shoes properly and rushed out.

But-

“Why again!”

Mammon replied with an annoyed voice.

“This bastard! You should come when I call you!”

Legion tried to hit Mammon’s head with a staff for beating. Mammon quickly teleported and ran away to the back.

“You little…….”

“I also have a personality. Stop hitting me.”

“Come here.”

“I don’t want to.”

“Come here when I’m talking nicely.”

“I said I don’t want to.”

“I’ll seal you away for good.”

“Hmph, then who will take care of the master’s chores.”

Legion clicked his tongue.

“Wow, this bastard, you’ve grown a lot.”

“I grew a little bigger than the master.”

“Bullshit. You’ve been watching too many movies these days. What are you imitating? Seriously.”

“There is such a thing.”

“Whatever. Do you see those things?”

Legion pointed to the monsters looking at him and Mammon.

“They are huge.”

“Yeah, those things are going north right now.”

“So?”

“Change their course.”

“To where?”

“To the east.”

“East?”

“Yes.”

“That’s…… Ah…….”

The Lich Mammon finally realized his master’s sinister and deep intentions.

“Hehehe, that would be fun.”

“Don’t make any mistakes.”

“That won’t happen. Then I’ll start.”

The Lich Mammon smiled evilly and began to emit magic beyond common sense.

The faces of the monsters, who thought they were the strongest and scariest, gradually hardened.
