Magic is Learned for Nothing – Episode 106

# 106

Relics of the Dark Order 2

“Hey, you bastards, can’t you fight properly?”

“Oh, Sharons! Is that all you’ve got? Get your act together!”

“Hey, headless guy. If you don’t have a head, doesn’t anything else hurt? Want to get beaten to death again?”

“We’re a party, a party! As members of a party, we need a spirit of sacrifice! Right? A spirit of sacrifice! Repeat after me, spir.it.of.sac.ri.fice!”

“Spirit of sacrifice!”

Sharons shouted loudly and dashed forward.

“5x Critical!”

Kwakwakwakwang!

A 5th Circle Dark Magic, Blood Fire, exploded.

Sharons smiled brightly after landing a critical hit. Now she was ahead of that damn Dark Knight and Dullahan in attack points.

She glanced at the Dark Knight and Dullahan.

She could see the urgency in the Dark Knight’s glowing eyes inside his helmet and the Dullahan’s expression with his head dangling.
The Ghouls wouldn’t be able to take down the Bronze Golem no matter how hard they tried.

They abandoned their defense and charged towards the 5th floor’s guardian, the Bronze Golem.

However, the Bronze Golem, having taken a rather powerful blow from Sharons, took a step back and reorganized its ranks.

She saw Legion, far behind, exchanging banter with Draisier.

What did that damn bastard say again?

-I’ll tear up one of the contracts you signed for the first one to break through the guardian of the 5th floor. That’s five sheets per person, right? To be clear, you voluntarily signed the soul contract. I never forced you to do it. The one who breaks through the 5th floor guardian gets one contract torn up, and the rest will have one more contract added. This contract is for five years of free service in our territory.

Sharons clenched her teeth.

It made her blood boil.

Frankly, she hated Legion more than that man Draisier with his tremendous strength.

While Draisier was breaking through each floor’s guardian one by one, Legion was making us sign contracts with our fingerprints.

Damn it, it was a contract with enormous restrictions.

Nothing below the 7th Circle could escape.

She even wondered who the crazy magician was who created such a useless contract while consuming this much mental and magical power.

Of course, it was they who were caught up in that useless contract.

“Hey, you guys, that Bronze Golem’s defense is rising again. Can you finish this today? If you don’t hurry, I’ll add another contract?”

Legion’s words terrified the Ghouls, Sharons, Resin Vampires, Dark Knight, and Dullahan.

The Ghouls and Resin Vampires, especially those with low combat power, were so frustrated that they didn’t even want to live.

They just wanted to commit suicide.

But what could undead do to commit suicide? At this rate, they might not escape from that terrible man even after 1,000 years.

They desperately charged towards the Bronze Golem.

“Dark Blade!”

“Chains of Darkness!”

“Uwooo!”

The guardians of each floor’s ultimate moves exploded mercilessly towards the Bronze Golem.

The Bronze Golem is an artificial life form.

Its defense power ranks at the top in the monster encyclopedia. However, the conditions for manufacturing it were very demanding. Even if it was manufactured, its intelligence was low, so its utilization was quite low.

However, its cognitive ability is quite high compared to its intelligence.

In other words, it accurately judges when to retreat and when to fight.

But now, it couldn’t quite grasp how to react.

The Bronze Golem’s data had Sharons, the Dark Knight, and the Dullahan inputted as allies. Then, they suddenly started attacking.

It was reckless.

They were attacking him as if their lives depended on it.

Sharons’ attack, especially, which was specialized in attack power, was fierce. Instantly, 1/5 of its defense power was shaved off.

So, it retreated its heavy bronze body, which was over 5 meters tall, to increase its reduced defense power.

The Golem moves with three gems.

First, Black Estel, which acts as a heart, sending magic power throughout the body. If this is not broken, the Golem regenerates indefinitely. However, it takes a certain amount of time.

Second, Green Abrinium, which enhances attack power.

Third, Black Diamond, which enhances defense power. This, too, could deploy shields indefinitely if time allowed.

But for some reason, the guardians of each floor had no intention of leaving him alone.

-You idiot! Switch to attack mode! Do they still look like allies to you!

The voice of Lilac, the guardian of the previous floor, was heard.

That’s right. It felt strange. The Bronze Golem’s blue eyes gradually turned red.

“Ugh! Damn it! We’re doomed! It’s the Bronze Golem’s berserk mode!”

“We’re all dead!”

Sharons grabbed her red hair and screamed.

The Bronze Golem’s berserk mode-!

For about 10 minutes, the Bronze Golem’s attack power, defense power, and mobility increase by about 200 percent. During that time, the Bronze Golem becomes an almost invincible being.

However, if you endure those 10 minutes, its mobility and attack power decrease by 50 percent… then you can destroy it relatively easily.

But the problem is those 10 minutes.

There was nowhere to escape from the Bronze Golem in this narrow space. It was only a matter of time before they died.

Kwajijijijijik!

An amazing thing happened.

The head of the berserk Bronze Golem was torn off completely.

The one standing on the Bronze Golem’s shoulder was Draisier.

His powerful aura easily penetrated the Bronze Golem’s formidable defense and tore off its head.

-Krrr.

The Bronze Golem’s red eyes gradually faded and then went out completely.

The Bronze Golem’s heavy body knelt down and stopped working. Draisier tore out the Bronze Golem’s heart and took out the three gems. He gave them to Legion.

“You need this, right?”

“Huh? Ah, yeah.”

Legion nodded and received the gems from Draisier.

At first, he was excited.

He felt like he had become something by defeating the Ghouls and destroying the other dark beings.

But as time passed, that feeling gradually faded.

What should he say?

He felt like his presence was fading.

Now he was not the protagonist but merely Draisier’s left arm. He was only Draisier’s master in name.

If he thought that Draisier’s power was his, it would be fine-

But he couldn’t think that way at all.

Legion thought he could catch up with his power to some extent.

But how could he explain that much stronger ability?

Was the martial arts book he passed to him through Emon, ‘It Was Easiest to Become a Dragon Slayer,’ genuine?

Yes, since Lich Mamon had it, it was likely to be genuine.

But could he master that martial arts book so quickly?

Amazing.

It was too amazing.

The genius was Draisier, not him.

He had picked him up on the street and underestimated him too much. He might have thought in his head that he was very strong, but in his heart, he still thought, ‘He’s still my servant.’

That complacent thought was shattered to pieces today.

Even if there were ten of me, I couldn’t beat Draisier. All I can do is hold this absurd staff and beat up low-level monsters.

He could never do what Draisier did a moment ago, flying dozens of meters in an instant and knocking down the Bronze Golem with one blow.

“Damn it…”

Legion clenched his fist tightly.

His teeth were clenched involuntarily. He thought too easily just because he had quickly raised his overall combat power.

He thought that raising Sephiah, Lich Mamon, Draisier, and his exclusive servants was all his own power.

No.

It is their power. Not my power.

He was too pathetic, relying on the ‘Exploding Awesomeness’ passive skill.

“Draisier.”

“Yes, ah, yes.”

“From now on, fall back. I’ll take the lead.”

“Impossible, it’s dangerous.”

“What do you mean impossible? I’ll take the lead.”

“I can’t lose my master. I am your spear. I can tell what you’re thinking by looking at your expression. But I can’t put my master in the front.”

“You know what I’m thinking?”

“You’re feeling severe self-loathing as you look at my overwhelming level, aren’t you?”

Son of a bitch. He guessed it exactly.

“I’ve been through it too. That self-loathing will surely be the foundation for the master’s growth. And the master’s growth rate is overwhelmingly ahead compared to his peers. Of course, there are still many clumsy areas… To be clear, the master is very strong. So don’t be discouraged.”

“Still, practical experience…”

“I told you not to be impatient. Instead, watch from behind at times like this. You should really be grateful for having a super expert like me as a subordinate. Just watching me use my body, use my hands, attack, defend, and use magic power will be a study. I guarantee it!”

Draisier looked at his master with calm eyes.

Inside those calm eyes, there was warmth hidden for his master.

“Don’t be impatient. Relax and take the strength out of your shoulders. The moment you become impatient, things will go wrong. Training will also become difficult. Develop a broader and deeper perspective. Then the master will be able to grow much faster.”

“Thanks… for the advice.”

Legion accepted it honestly.

At the same time, Mark began to analyze Draisier’s words. It wasn’t just simple data.

It was the words of a master-level super strongman.

He could never pass it off carelessly.

If he could accurately analyze what his words meant-

Legion would be able to become much stronger than he is now in a short period of time and leave the dungeon.

Tak tak tak tak-

Lilac ran down to the lowest floor where High Priest Cyclops was sleeping. The underground floor where he could move by portal was up to the 10th floor. The lowest floor, the 11th floor, had to be moved on foot. Normally, he moved very carefully so as not to disturb his master Cyclops’s mood, but now there was no time for that.

“I did something unnecessary. I knew he was crazy, but I overestimated him too much. If things go wrong, it’s my fault.”

Lilac clenched her teeth.

When I think about it, he has lived for thousands of years. Even if it is a time warp or a parallel continent’s timeline that does not exist in reality, it is a clear fact that he has lived for thousands of years.

I underestimated his experience too much.

An appearance that makes you feel at ease at first glance.

Because of his appearance that makes you look down on him at first glance, I thought, ‘How could you break through the dungeon created by our master Cyclops?’

In addition, I also had the idea of getting the value of destroying the dungeon from him.

It would be the best scenario if High Priest Cyclops was revived splendidly.

It wasn’t that I didn’t have any anxiety. But no matter how I thought about it, there was no reason for them to break through the dark dungeon, so I ignored it.

Her anxiety became a reality.

He was ruling here with the guardians of each floor.

“Son of a bitch…”

I will never forgive him.

She stood on the lowest underground floor. A huge iron door blocked her way.

“Hoo.”

She calmed her breathing.

“A humble servant greets High Priest Cyclops.”

It was a formal etiquette.

She opened the iron door and entered. A tremendous stench of blood vibrated.

Ttok, ttok-

She walked towards the blood pond where a faint light was coming in.

On the pond, a bizarre monster was standing chained. His whole body was covered in bright red blood. His eyes were closed, but his breathing was strange.

-Krrr.

It was like the sound of a beast.

Lilac knelt on one knee in front of the monster.

“I greet the eternal High Priest Cyclops.”
