Magic is Learned in Vain – Episode 485
# 485
Oops, this isn’t it 2
Kill Stone looked around.
The combat power of the Golem Legion shouldn’t be simply compared to human standards.
Once charged with magic, they exhibit the same abilities until depleted.
Humans gradually weaken from full power. By the time they are exhausted, they only exert about half of their original strength.
However, the golems improved and produced by Bide are completely different from humans.
They maintain full power until their magic is completely consumed and they stop.
There is also a reserve power. Legion would be furious if the golems, made with a lot of money, were seen collapsing on the street with their power off.
The reserve power operating time is at least 2 hours. They can also fly in the sky, so they can safely return to the base.
What if they can’t return?
Then there is a self-destruct function.
That self-destruct function is terrifying.
Legion and his subordinates had witnessed the destructive power of a self-destruction test.
The power is similar to a 7th circle Explosion magic, but more brutal. According to Bide, it was mixed with ‘vaporization magic’. All living things within a 300-meter radius are completely burned.
Legion was appalled by the cruelty more than the terrifying destructive power.
Legion asked Bide.
“If the Human Rights Committee finds out, the warning won’t be the end of it, right?”
“Wouldn’t it be better to have the golems taken away? It would be a huge loss if they were taken and disassembled.”
“Ah, right. I guess so. Money is precious.”
That’s how the self-destruct function was maintained as designed.
Through continuous upgrades, even the first mass-produced golem, T-1000, possesses the power of a 6-star warrior.
Of course, it’s infinite full power until the magic is exhausted.
Equipped with all sorts of weapons according to Bide and Lulu’s tastes, they are capable of long-range bombardment, medium-to-long-range shooting, close-range claymores [a type of large Scottish sword], and even mines.
In short, they are much more powerful than the tanks that the Empire boasts. Moreover, golems boast far superior mobility than tanks.
That power was being demonstrated here.
Even with hundreds of thousands of undead legions rushing in, they were completely immobilized by only 500 T-1000s and 100 T-3000s.
The T-3000s render any attack from the undead legion useless.
The intelligent undead were very embarrassed to see the T-3000s absorbing almost all attacks like water.
The formation is also perfect.
Kill Stone was the one who perfectly handled all the formations, attacks, and defenses.
He controls the movements of all the units.
Kill Stone’s artificial intelligence was evolving over time.
The simple update ability was comparable to Mark’s.
-Multiple Dark Angels of -3 grade evolution form appeared. About 10 units.
The information processed by the scan magic was inputted into Kill Stone’s retina in less than 0.1 seconds.
Kill Stone ordered the T-1000s with anti-aircraft guns. From the shoulders of dozens of T-1000s, about 2-meter-long gun barrels appeared.
It was a weapon specially developed by the Dwarf Research Lab, watching the defense line collapsing in an instant by the battleships.
It is capable of firing 2,000 small magic bullets per minute.
It is called the Gatling cannon.
Tanks explode and disappear as soon as the trigger is pulled.
Small battleships could be shot down in less than a minute once trapped in the Gatling cannon smoke.
-Bababababababa!
Thirty such Gatling cannons were fired simultaneously. Tens of thousands of small magic bullets exploded in the sky at the same time.
The Dark Angels’ bodies trapped in the barrage were torn apart.
Dark Angels are powerful monsters capable of destroying a city alone.
Such monsters were trapped in the barrage and couldn’t move.
Nevertheless, they were still legendary monsters.
The speed of regeneration was as tremendous as the speed of destruction.
The speed of regeneration and the speed of destruction are similar.
It didn’t seem like it would end like this.
However, Kill Stone’s artificial intelligence has made tremendous progress while experiencing quite a few battles so far.
He develops plans on the spot.
The T-3000 that jumped into the sky implanted a small neutron bomb into the Dark Angel’s heart.
Bide said to Legion.
“There’s nothing stronger than this as a single bomb. The destructive power is about 10,000 times stronger than a grenade. But the killing radius isn’t wide either. It’s only about 50 meters.”
“What’s the principle?”
Legion asked curiously.
“The bomb explodes and stretches out to 50 meters before absorbing the energy again. That’s why the killing radius is small. But if you’re trapped inside, even a Sword Master won’t be safe.”
Bide said confidently.
It goes without saying, but this is the first time it’s being used in actual combat. Fortunately, there were no duds.
The ten Dark Angels disappeared into the air without a trace.
Many of the undead looked visibly flustered.
Usually, commanders would smile here. And they would say this.
“Come on! You monsters! As long as I, so-and-so, am here, you won’t set foot on this land!”
It’s a cheesy line, but it works quite well.
It wasn’t bad for boosting the morale of the soldiers.
But Kill Stone is not human.
Strictly speaking, he was a killing weapon, a killing machine. He inputted the next command without any emotion.
-Eliminate 2000 advancing undead running from the front.
Bababababababa!
The golems’ bombardment began. With firepower far superior to a legion-level artillery, they swept away all the advancing undead running like stampeding bulls.
Rotten blood splattered and bones were all shattered. The front turned into a scene of carnage.
The undead stopped for a moment.
They have intelligence but no emotions. It didn’t make sense that such undead would be frightened and stop.
The golems also stopped. They immediately reorganized their formation. The clothes they were wearing were torn and dirty, but their combat power remained the same as the beginning.
Kill Stone examined his subordinates’ power.
Even though they had poured out all their firepower, they still had 55 percent of their magic left.
They can fight one more time.
The vampire legion is guarding the rear. He judged that their power would be enough to stop the undead legion while the golem legion recharged once again.
He made a judgment…….
The scan magic suddenly sounded an alarm.
The combat power meter broke down with a ‘pop’ sound.
This was the first time this had happened. Even in numerous virtual experiences, nothing like this had ever happened.
Kill Stone was momentarily flustered, but he quickly regained his reason like an artificial intelligence.
“What is it? What has appeared? An undead that has completed the 2nd grade evolution?”
He objectively judged that the golem legion’s power could stop even an undead that had completed the 2nd grade evolution.
Even transcendent beings such as Bone Dragons, Dark Towers, Moving Continents, and Salamander’s Chariots.
But the scan magic continued to warn.
-Retreat immediately! Retreat immediately!
What on earth is it?
Hundreds of drones, as small as dust, flew up from Kill Stone’s shoulder all at once.
If information is lacking, find it out.
Those small drones are not easily visible to the eye.
Other golems cannot use them.
Only Kill Stone, whose information processing ability is among the top 3 in the Legion Lord’s territory, can use them.
Hundreds of fly-shaped drones flew over the heads of the undead legion.
But-
Kill Stone frowned. The hundreds of small videos in his head were all shattered.
An unimaginable amount of energy swallowed the ultra-small drones all at once.
“Something is coming. Everyone, prepare to attack.”
The order given to the golem legion is ‘exterminate the enemy’. Retreating was only when the charged magic was depleted.
This was not a retreat situation.
That’s why they go all out with the remaining magic.
No matter who the opponent is.
In an instant!
Light flashed in everyone’s vision.
None of the golems could catch that speed.
It flashed-
A T-1000 was bounced hundreds of meters away. The T-1000 that flew to the wall emitted an electromagnetic field. Soon, it became inoperable with a bizarre sound.
What is it?
Kill Stone, startled, stared at the front.
He couldn’t see anything.
Again, flash!
Dozens of flashes of light covered their vision and struck the T-1000.
Among them was the T-3000, which was considered a perfect future-type golem.
The T-3000’s body melted quickly as if lava had been poured on it.
It’s ultra-high heat that exceeds the T-3000’s defense capabilities. Is there an undead that can generate this level of ultra-high heat?
What the hell is it?
Soon, two men appeared in front of Kill Stone. The undead horde split to the sides like the Red Sea, as if greeting a king.
There were a dozen men and women.
From a human perspective, they were all stunningly beautiful. There wasn’t a single person who lacked beauty.
It was the Archbishop, the Dragon Lord, and Ancient-class dragons.
“Interesting toys.”
The Dragon Lord looked at Kill Stone and the golems with an interested expression.
Kill Stone, who faced them, didn’t say anything. He thought for a moment that if he were human, cold sweat would be constantly flowing down his spine.
“Amazing. I want to disassemble them once. To be able to make golems of this high level. It’s much higher level than I imagined. If we mass-produce guardians with those guys, conquering the continent would be a piece of cake.”
The Dragon Lord smiled, revealing his snow-white teeth. He seemed to be really thinking of catching and disassembling a few of the golems alive.
Kill Stone, who was analyzing the Dragon Lord’s language and sensing emotions, was convinced that their end had come.
Golem Legion-
Survival probability 0.001 percent.
Even though they hadn’t even demonstrated their combat power yet, their defeat was certain.
There is no retreat.
If they retreat, the allied forces’ walls will also be blown away.
Now there was only one thing they had to do.
Extract as much data from those guys as possible.
-All magic full power! Reserve energy activated! Self-destruct after the first strike!
Kill Stone diligently inserted commands into the golem legion.
Looking at them, the Archbishop stepped forward.
“Why are you trying to take those toys? I’ll make you much better toys.”
“Huh? I’ve never seen such elaborate golems before. Even the golems made by the ancients aren’t that elaborate. Those are special.”
“That’s enough. I don’t like those bastards’ eyes. I’m just going to eat them.”
“That won’t do.”
The Dragon Lord smacked his lips.
But the Archbishop seemed to have made up his mind. He smiled brightly at Kill Stone and the golem legion.
Did you guys make your last words?
They’re golems, so they don’t know that kind of thing?
Then just disappear.
Puhaaaaaaak!
A gigantic flash of light that was beyond imagination engulfed the entire golem legion.
* * *
Sharonz was feeling fear for the first time in her life.
The emotion she felt in the battle of the extreme sea was closer to despair. A complex mixture of anxiety about the future, sorrow for the race, anger at the enemies, and resentment towards her brothers who were blinded by the power struggle.
But she had never felt such utter desolation as she did now.
It was like the feeling an ant would have looking at a giant dinosaur.
The undead legion was not the problem.
The man with black hair.
She had seen him before.
How could she not know?
Wasn’t he the man who had devastated the kingdom?
She doesn’t know his name.
She only knows that he is the Archbishop of the Stone Head Church.
That bastard has appeared again.
He was terrifying back then, but now it was on a completely different level. Countless vampires died just by him looking at them.
She’s trying to hold on somehow.
She poured all sorts of magic at the enemies.
Half of the darkness split, and thousands of lightning strikes fell between the Archbishop and the dragons.
It was useless.
Their barriers were beyond imagination.
The dragons formed the barrier. But it wasn’t the power of the dragons that Sharonz knew.
Wym-class or higher.
Probably Ancient-class.
Perhaps that barrier is the legendary 10-star class.
It nullifies any attack from the vampire legion.
And-
The dragons’ breath, transformed into their true forms, struck the northern wall.
Kukukukukung!
Half of the wall disappeared.
The 50-fold barrier was useless. It was crumpled and torn more easily than paper.
The human nobles, knights, and wizards with weak defenses disappeared entirely.
She couldn’t even guess how many people had been sacrificed.
The commanders of the vampire legion turned pale.
To think they could fight against those guys…….
It was arrogance.
Human power cannot stop them.
Vampire power cannot stop them either.
No race can stop them.
All that’s left is…….
A racial massacre.
“The undead legion has begun to advance.”
Scratch said powerlessly.
The dragons no longer fired their breath. There were no magical attacks either.
Are they planning to play with us?
Or are they planning to make the vampires their gang as well?
Whatever it is, it’s a shitty situation.
“All troops……, retreat.”
This is not humiliation.
Sharonz made a decision.
