Magic is Learned for Nothing – Episode 111

# 111

The Legion’s Imagination Becomes Reality 3

The Legion’s heart pounded with anxiety.

“You son of a bitch, why couldn’t you have told me about this sooner?”

He never explains anything before you have to do it.

Disassembling three gems with unique characteristics at once, well… this is a first.

In the worst-case scenario, I could end up with a skill that makes me fat, dumber, and shorter.

Damn it, just thinking about it is horrifying.

If I actually get shorter, I’ll just die. Magic or whatever. Death is better.

-Weeeeeeeeee!

The sound of the gems being disassembled rang loudly in my ears. Usually, the message ‘Disassembly complete’ pops up right away, but this time it’s taking quite a while.

My legs were so weak I could barely stand.

-Tiririririring.

The sound gradually faded. It was like metal beads slowly rolling across a tray.

And then-

-Disassembly complete.

Hoo! Here it comes. Here it comes.

Thump, thump.

The Legion’s heart pounded. Thanks to the territory residents, my luck stat has soared. The newly accepted firefield farmers praised me excessively, further boosting my luck.

The odds of getting heads when flipping a coin have increased to eight out of ten.

I hope it’s the same this time.

“Please… God, just help me once. Just once… It’s not even twice, just once. Stop giving me weird stuff, just something that will get me out of this situation. It’s not like I’m asking to conquer the world, become a demon king, or asking for money. So please, just grant me this one thing.”

-A one-time use item has been created.

What? One-time use?

-It is a rare item.

One-time use and rare… So, what does it do?

-The name of the active skill is ‘Give Me Your Power.’ You can absorb someone’s power. Absorb the power to overcome the current situation. The target is one, and the time you can absorb power is 2 minutes. Counting down from now. 119 seconds, 118 seconds, 117 seconds….

Time is running out.

What, what is this? What am I supposed to do?

-Ah, I don’t know either. Didn’t even know this existed. Figure it out yourself.

You son of a bitch, Mark, isn’t there supposed to be like twelve thousand different ways to do this?

“I’m going crazy.”

The Legion scratched his head. He didn’t even understand what the words on his retina meant. What power am I supposed to absorb, and how?

The Legion stretched out his palm.

“What, am I supposed to do it like this?”

-Absorbing the opponent’s magic power from now on. The opponent’s magic power is powerful. Your dantian [energy center in the body] will grow as you accept the opponent’s magic power. The pain will be unimaginable. It is recommended to put a rag in your mouth.

“What?”

In that instant, the Legion felt an immense power surging through his palm.

* * *

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Six seconds passed.

The 6th Circle magic, Bombardment, was cast. Drayzer, not a mage, was able to cast 6th Circle magic every 6 seconds. This was possible simply by wielding the unique item, Emperor’s Fang, not because of his own abilities.

The sky tore open, and suddenly fireballs rained down.

The destructive power was outstanding. Countless enemies died without knowing why, struck by the sudden bombardment magic.

“Heh heh heh, this feels so good. You have no idea how much I’ve missed you.”

Drayzer gently stroked the blade of the Battle Axe.

The Battle Axe trembled as if it understood Drayzer’s words.

Another 6 seconds passed.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Another fireball with immense destructive power struck the Barrier of Blood.

The Barrier of Blood is truly a powerful shield.

But it was not infinite. After being pounded continuously, the Barrier of Blood was visibly weakening.

In Drayzer’s experience, barriers are difficult to break at first.

But once a crack appears, it quickly spreads throughout.

At this rate, the Barrier of Blood will break within 5 minutes.

Then you son of a bitch, you’re dead! How dare a non-complete being rely on a barrier and resist!

“Good. Shall we unleash the Dragon Slayer’s martial arts?”

Drayzer, feeling a bit more relaxed, grabbed the Emperor’s Fang with both hands. His mana converted into magical power, and the magical power created a physical force called Aura.

That immense power was realized through the Emperor’s Fang.

The perfect Berserker!

Drayzer’s power doesn’t strike a wide range like a mage, but its destructive power towards a single target surpasses that of any mage’s attack.

Drayzer unleashed an Aura called ‘Madness.’

“Dragon Slayer Art, First Form. Give Me Your Heart!”

Whoever the Dragon Slayer is, they must be out of their mind. This is the first time I’ve heard of such a technique name. But the effect is the best.

Drayzer swung the Emperor’s Fang in an X-shape. Originally a technique used with swords, Drayzer’s efforts made it even more powerful with an axe. Of course, the change is less than with a sword, but the power of the technique unleashed with an axe is incomparable to that of a sword.

“Wow!”

Drayzer himself was surprised by the technique.

The Aura that spread above and below was gradually transforming into the form of a dragon. The dragon opened its mouth wide.

The giant dragon bit down hard on the weakened Barrier of Blood.

And then, explosion!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The underground dungeon, unable to withstand the impact, shook violently.

“Aaaagh! Again! Again! Those bastards are ruining our dungeon!”

Lilac clutched her head in agony.

Drayzer scoffed. He couldn’t sacrifice his life to protect the dungeon.

“Too bad. If I had more mana, I could have unleashed the Second and Third Forms in succession.”

Drayzer licked his lips.

With his current mana, unleashing the Dragon Slayer Art’s First Form twice in a row was the maximum.

He had already consumed a significant amount of mana.

He estimates that it will take about 20 minutes for his mana to recover.

In a situation as urgent as this, 20 minutes is critical. He must use it sparingly.

-Y, y, y… You trash-like bastard!

The Cyclops was in great pain.

“Trash?”

Drayzer smirked.

“For a thing that looks like trash to call me trash. How absurd.”

The Barrier of Blood surrounding the Cyclops thinned, and then cracked and shattered.

Defeating him is now only a matter of time.

“I’ll give you the final blow!”

Drayzer began to inject a massive amount of Aura into the Battle Axe once again. And just as his massive body flew like a swallow to strike the Cyclops’ crown,

“Huh! W, what is this all of a sudden…”

Drayzer felt the strength draining from his entire body.

It felt as if someone had hit him hard in the back of the head. Shocked, he dropped the Emperor’s Fang and plummeted, ending up clinging to the Cyclops’ neck.

“Kuh, wh, what’s going on?”

This is crazy. All energy is draining from my body.

This was a first. It was as if someone had stuck a clothespin on my body and was sucking me dry.

“Kuh, Cyclops! You nasty, vile bastard. You’re struggling to the end. Do you think I’ll go down so easily! You son of a bitch!”

* * *

The Legion had his palm open, accepting the immense magical power to his heart’s content.

His dantian [energy center in the body] was expanding rapidly.

-3rd Circle dantian explodes! Expanding to 4th Circle!

-Overall combat power increases. 2,110, 2,470, 3,178, 3,980… Breaking through 4,000. The dantian of a 4th Circle master is gradually expanding.

“Keuk, keuk!”

Even amidst the pain that prevented him from screaming, the Legion laughed like crazy.

‘Wow! This is amazing!’

When using the ‘Explosion of Coolness’ skill, his overall combat power was 3,980. It’s already higher than that. Of course, with his intelligence lowered and unable to use ancient magic, it’s difficult to expect an increase in attack power from magic.

Anyway, if he were to use the ‘Explosion of Coolness’ skill in this situation, he has no idea how strong he would become.

-Intelligence increased!

-Stamina increased!

-Agility increased!

-Endurance increased!

-Body transformation begins!

Information about the increase in stats flashed incessantly on his retina.

All good!

All good.

But why… aren’t stats like ‘losing weight’ or ‘growing taller’ increasing? What a shame.

Is it too greedy to ask for that much?

-Ting-ting. Congratulations. Your body has explosively changed. The energy of the Fire Dragon resides in your muscles. The energy of the Earth resides in your dantian [energy center in the body]. Your dantian [energy center in the body] is expanding.

-Ting-ting. Your dantian [energy center in the body] has exploded. The energy of the Earth residing in the 4th Circle dantian [energy center in the body] contains the power of a 5-star knight. Overall combat power increases. 4,465, 5,150, 5,790….

“Wow, what’s this again?”

-Ting-ting, congratulations. You have become a warrior as a secondary class. You have become a magic warrior.

“Magic warrior? Me?”

Why suddenly? Why did I become a warrior? Whose power did I steal?

-Ting-ting. Congratulations. You have learned the 7 Dragon Slayer Arts.

Oh? This is….

-Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations on your foolishness.

Mark sang excitedly.

Only then did the Legion’s gaze reach the part his hand was touching. The person whose magic he stole was Drayzer.

* * *

“Keuheuheuk.”

Drayzer gritted his teeth.

At this rate, all the strength will drain from his body, and he will die helplessly.

-Kuaaaaak! You bug-like bastard! Get off!

The Cyclops shook his upper body. Just as a priest cannot cut his own hair, he could not use black magic against Drayzer clinging to his back.

Drayzer desperately clung to his neck. But his strength was fading. He would fall soon, and he would die unless he did something.

Think! Think!

What should I do!

Drayzer’s eyes caught sight of the tube embedded in the Cyclops’ back. A bright red liquid was bubbling and being injected into the Cyclops.

Yes, that’s it. If I tear that off!

Drayzer reached out and tried to grab and tear off the tube.

“Keuheuk.”

Damn it, he almost fell off the bastard’s back.

If I fall, I die. I have to hold on desperately.

What can I do?

Drayzer’s eyes flashed, and he bit the tube with his teeth. It was squishy. The smell of blood filled his mouth. His stomach churned. But he couldn’t spit it out.

He forcibly tore it off.

Once, twice, three times.

His mouth was numb, and he felt like his teeth were broken. He couldn’t stop in this situation.

Poosh!

The tube tore. A massive amount of black magic poured into his mouth.

At the same time-

-Ting-ting. The one-time skill to accept your depleting energy has been shared. The ‘I Can’t Live Being Robbed’ skill is activated. You have 90 seconds. Absorbing the opponent’s magic power from now on.

What? What is that?

-The black magic is stronger than your magic power. Your dantian [energy center in the body] is filled with black magic.

…….

Drayzer’s brain stopped for a moment.

He didn’t understand what this meant at all.

He knew that strange letters appeared on his retina when he ate the master’s decision. Thanks to that, his intelligence had increased exponentially, and he had gained tremendous knowledge about martial arts, understanding of the world, and more. With that increased intelligence, he was able to quickly understand the current situation.

Mana draining from his dantian [energy center in the body].

Mana filling the emptying dantian [energy center in the body].

“So, at first, I thought the mana was being sucked out because of the Cyclops, but that’s not it. The one taking my mana is someone else, and I’m taking this bastard’s mana. And the one taking my mana is… so….”

Drayzer turned his gaze.

In that corner, he saw his master trembling and looking happy.

Ah~ How absurd.

Anyway, his dantian [energy center in the body] was being filled with black magic in an instant.

This is bad.

Am I going to become a dark warrior?

A dark warrior is one of the most reviled professions in the world. Their personality becomes violent, they get angry easily over trivial things, and people gradually distance themselves from them because of the aura they exude.

“Hmm… How is that different from now?”

Thinking about it, it doesn’t seem like much will change.

-Ting-ting.

Ah, damn it! But this alarm sound is starting to feel ominous.

-You become stronger by receiving the magic power of the moon.

-Complete immunity to black magic has been acquired.

-Complete immunity to poison has been acquired.

-Complete immunity to darkness has been acquired.

-Affinity with undead races and monsters has ‘greatly’ increased.

-Attack power rapidly increases. You can now use dark aura.

-You are promoted to a dark warrior.

-Dantian [energy center in the body] is saturated. Your magic power has now grown to the level of a 7-star master. You can unleash the power of an 8-star for a short period by using dark aura.

Yeah, yeah….

I’m screwed now.
