Magic Is Learned For Nothing [EN]: Chapter 496

Magic is Learned in Vain – 497

# 497

My name is Legion 1.

The 9th Circle magic, Hell Laser.

It is the superior version of Hell Fire, known as the strongest magic for one-on-one combat.

Before Legion suddenly rose to prominence, there was no magician in the kingdom who could use magic surpassing Hell Fire.

It was known that once hit by Hell Fire, the flames would not go out until the opponent was completely reduced to ashes and disappeared.

It is an incredibly vicious magic.

I couldn’t even guess how powerful its superior version, Hell Laser, would be.

I vaguely guessed, wouldn’t it burn away any substance once hit? That’s about it.

That’s close to the correct answer.

Once hit by Hell Laser, any substance is broken down into molecular units.

The range is approximately less than 10 meters.

Compared to other explosion magic, the range was absurdly short.

But if there are more than 100 Hell Lasers, the story changes.

That’s the case now.

Kukukukukung!

Hundreds of Hell Lasers poured down from the sky like a rainstorm towards the Eight Thousand Demon Lord.

-These, these parasitic things!

As expected of a God-level Undead.

To use such advanced vocabulary so casually.

But they are just corpses that were pieced together.

It’s annoying that they claim to be great.

You’re just corpses!

Got it?

You son of a bitches!

Hell Laser continuously gnawed at the Eight Thousand Demon Lord’s body. The body kept reviving with amazing regenerative power, but the melting speed was faster due to the continuous bombardment.

The Hell Laser bombardment ended.

The half-destroyed body of the Eight Thousand Demon Lord was slowly reviving.

“Barrier zero! I’ve been waiting for this moment. Eat this! Hell Laser Striker!”

The 10th Circle attack magic that humans can never use exploded.

Drayger turned his head towards the one who used Hell Laser. There were only two people in the territory who could use such powerful magic.

Legion and Preitia.

The voice was definitely a woman’s.

Then it’s only Preitia.

Why is Preitia, who went to stop the Black Dragon and the dragons, here?

There was only one reason for her to be here.

Could it be…….

Did she subdue the Black Dragon?

“Oops.”

There was no time to think further.

That ignorant woman was firing 10th Circle magic at the Eight Thousand Demon Lord.

Originally, it is a technique that should not be used towards the earth. If it continues to penetrate the ground, it could blow away the core of the planet.

Now, they possessed such great power that they could worry about this giant planet.

It was a level that ordinary people could not even imagine.

The problem is that the enemy is even stronger than that.

Hell Laser Striker flashed and collided with the ground.

Kukukukukuku!

A single beam of light swallowed the Eight Thousand Demon Lord and tens of thousands of Undead.

The aftermath of the explosion continues to spread.

The aftershock was beyond imagination.

Drayger and his exclusive servants, Lich Mamon, and many magicians and warriors desperately endured the explosion of the 10th Circle magic.

Kukukung!

It was good to wipe out the Eight Thousand Demon Lord all at once.

But it seems her magic touched the mantle [the layer between the Earth’s crust and core] that was sleeping deep underground.

The ground cracked, and lava spewed out from all directions. If this continues, the duchy will be covered in lava.

Everyone’s faces turned pale.

“That’s why I was here.”

The self-proclaimed Ice Emperor!

Once Drayger’s rival.

The unfortunate genius who was abandoned by Sarah Connor and forgotten by the author and readers.

Brave Raiden spewed Absolute Freeze towards the overflowing lava.

The lava that was overflowing and flowing out instantly froze.

“Did you see that! I am Ice Emperor Raiden.”

Raiden’s appearance ends.

The reason why the forgotten Raiden reappeared. The reason why Raiden, who no one was interested in, reappeared is because of this scene.

Drayger stops the lava from overflowing? It’s possible, but zero plausibility.

Preitia stops it? That also has zero plausibility.

The only one with some plausibility is Raiden.

So, he appeared for one more cut.

“Wait a minute, is this the end of my part? Are you telling me to go home?”

“I saw it.”

Drayger interjected.

“What?”

“I saw the manuscript for a moment.”

“So?”

“You appear in one more cut.”

“Me? There are less than 10 episodes left, and I appear in one more cut?”

Raiden’s expression brightened incredibly. Does that mean he survives until the end?

“Yes, so rest assured and catch other Undead!”

“I see. Thank you, Drayger.”

“No need to thank me. We all help each other. Anyway…….”

Drayger turned his head towards Preitia. Why are you here? Did you really……, the Black Dragon…….

“What the fuck! That’s the Black Dragon!”

Drayger rubbed his eyes. A Black Dragon with an unimaginable size was slowly approaching this place. To stop it, the Wyvern squadron and the air force were frantically pouring magic bullets.

There are only about twenty dragons visible. Where did they all go?

They were not attacking allies but were firing magic at the Black Dragon.

On the ramparts, regular soldiers were firing quarrels [square-headed arrows] at numerous tentacles.

The tentacles are very powerful.

The quarrel arrows and mana blades could not inflict significant wounds.

Fortunately, if the mages of the Magic Tower had not desperately protected the regular soldiers, they would have suffered unimaginable damage.

“Didn’t you know? You idiot!”

Preitia scolded. She also seemed to have suffered quite a bit. The gorgeous clothes with absolute defense were torn, and her face was haggard.

I don’t know what happened in the meantime.

“You’ve suffered quite a bit too.”

Preitia said while looking at the front.

The war situation here was also not good. On the northern front, there was only the absolute existence, the Black Dragon.

But on the eastern front, multiple God-level Undead appeared.

Even if only one appeared, it was a force that could devour an entire kingdom.

It was written in ancient books that even a Grand Master could not face a God-level Undead.

But look at this ridiculous situation.

As if possessed by something, hundreds of God-level Undead were born here.

What else could this place be but hell.

It was impossible not to be amazed by the performance of Drayger, Lich Mamon, and his subordinates, who had killed dozens of such God-level Undead and were still holding out.

But…….

“Look closely.”

“At what?”

“At how far we’ve retreated.”

Preitia pointed to the Black Dragon in the north and the God-level Undead in the east.

The number of medium-sized Undead following them is countless. Is it right to say they are just packed?

The overwhelming size and super magic made it hard to breathe.

“Ah…….”

Only then did Drayger realize what Preitia was saying.

They had been fighting those monsters for days without rest.

People originally need to sleep.

That’s how they recover their strength.

But Drayger and other superhumans were not greatly affected by not sleeping for a few days.

They could still fight for several more days if they just replenished their moisture.

The problem was that fighting for too long had caused problems with their senses.

Legion’s army fought well.

No army had ever withstood the Undead Legion for so long.

You can applaud them.

But they didn’t realize they were gradually giving up ground.

And finally, the allies reached the place with the inner castle. The faces of the numerous refugees inside the inner castle turned pale.

Even from inside the inner castle, the Black Dragon and God-level Undead are clearly visible.

The Black Dragon alone has grown even larger, reaching 2 kilometers. There was no way of knowing how much bigger it would get.

If it absorbed all 1 million lives who had taken refuge inside the inner castle, it was likely to grow much larger.

How many will survive?

If the Black Dragon evolves like this, its head will pierce through the stratosphere [the second layer of Earth’s atmosphere].

The number of tentacles protruding from its thick skin can no longer be counted.

There were just an enormous number of them.

Even with 1 million citizens, it seemed difficult to completely escape from the tentacles.

“This……, this is really the end.”

The inner castle, though called a castle, is just a village with a large area of land inside.

The outer castle created by Galileo was the best place to defend.

That place had already collapsed.

The inner castle, which was incomparably smaller than the outer castle, was only a matter of time before it collapsed.

Its height is only 20-30 meters.

There was no obstacle for the evolved Undead to break through.

“Drayger-nim! Preitia-nim!”

Bacon approached. He had survived death, but he was still breathing. Despite suffering quite a few injuries, he was now unaware of the pain.

He had drunk all the emergency treatment potions. He had long ignored the priest’s earnest request not to drink them until just before death, and even drank the drug potions.

He was enduring with only willpower.

Drayger and Preitia looked at Bacon with expressions asking what was wrong.

“How long can you hold out?”

“Hold out?”

“Yes.”

“Hold out…….”

“Then you can’t hold out?”

“I don’t know.”

“What do you mean by that…….”

“It’s no longer a fight against time.”

“…….”

Bacon, who didn’t understand, tilted his head.

“It’s a life-or-death situation. It’s meaningless to fight while saving super magic now. Either kill him, or I die. It’s just one of the two.”

“I agree. It’s the end. There’s no more room to retreat.”

Drayger and Preitia began to squeeze out all their super magic.

People witnessed an amazing sight.

Their bodies were turning golden like the war gods descended from the heavens.

“Amazing. That’s the compressed form of super magic. To be able to see such a thing.”

Even if others didn’t know, Bacon, who had just begun to learn about super magic, could tell what it was.

In short, it is an irreplaceable energy.

It shows the extent of Drayger and Preitia’s level, who were wrapped in it all over their bodies.

He still can’t even follow their heels.

Even so…….

Even though they were wearing such powerful divine armor on their bodies…….

Looking at the Black Dragon, it felt like hope was disappearing.

No matter how powerful Drayger and Preitia became, it didn’t seem like they could defeat the Black Dragon.

“Okay, let’s go.”

The moment Drayger and Preitia were about to fly off at the same time!

An absurd thing happened.

The Black Dragon’s tentacles attacked the God-level Undead.

The size of the God-level Undead varies. There were humanoid ones and ultra-giant Undead that exceeded 100 meters. The outside is like that, but the stats are endless.

Even what abilities they have cannot be revealed now.

But…….

All sorts of the Black Dragon’s tentacles wrapped around those God-level Undead.

-Kuooh! You! You! Black Dragon! Didn’t you summon us!

-Kuaaaaak! What is this! You bastard! Release this immediately!

The angry voices of the God-level Undead wrapped in tentacles echoed loudly.

But strangely, they couldn’t use their power against the Black Dragon. As the tentacles were pulled, the God-level Undead were dragged towards the Black Dragon as if they had made a promise.

Their super magic is constantly sucked in by the tentacles.

Pajijik!

Pajijijijijik!

The Black Dragon’s super magic, which quickly absorbs the energy of the God-level Undead, became endlessly stronger.

-Kuaaaaak!

The God-level Undead are destroyed one by one. The God-level Undead, which even the gods of the heavenly realm cannot easily handle, are losing all their energy and ending their lives in vain.

All the Undead with intelligence stopped in their tracks.

Emotions are very faint for them. They don’t care about life and death either.

But watching the scene a little while ago, they felt a big change in their emotions for the first time.

That is ‘fear!’

Absolute fear spread among all the Undead.

The Black Dragon is not our lord.

It just woke us up to absorb all the evil spirits of all the worlds.

If we stay here…….

The soul will be annihilated.

The Undead who felt that began to step back.

The God-level Undead were all absorbed by the Black Dragon. Even if they all rushed at it, the possibility of defeating the Black Dragon was zero.

The only way to protect the soul was to run away.

But the Black Dragon seemed to not leave even them alone. The endlessly spreading tentacles snatched the ankles and wrists of hundreds of thousands of Undead and took away their evil spirits.

“Shit……, what the hell are we looking at? What the hell is that?”

Drayger said as if he was dumbfounded.

“We can’t stop it……, it’s destruction.”

Preitia closed her eyes tightly as she watched the terrible sight in front of her.

The enemies’ screams-

It won’t take long for them to turn into the screams of allies.

“What the hell is that…….”

The God-level Undead popped out from the Black Dragon’s back. They all had some kind of tube attached. But they were definitely God-level Undead. The guys floated in the air and waited for the Black Dragon’s command.

There is no ego for the God-level Undead. That’s just the energy they had.

The Black Dragon was just playfully creating new God-level Undead based on the overflowing energy.
