Magic Is Learned For Nothing [EN]: Chapter 113

# 114

Sinking in the Mire 3

Legion finished appraising the jewels and turned his attention to the items.

He desperately needed items as well.

But there wasn’t a single piece of armor that fit him.

The world was so unfair. Not all knights in the world are big. Why isn’t there armor that men under 160cm can wear?

Moreover, the armor that seemed to fit roughly was all for female knights. The waist was too narrow for Legion to wear.

Armor for knights under 160cm tall and over 100kg! Why isn’t there such a thing?

Legion had no choice but to commission it directly from the blacksmith.

“I need armor for a knight who is about 156cm tall and weighs about 150kg.”

He said it seriously…….

The blacksmith told him to stop joking and get lost because he was busy. If Mark hadn’t stopped him, that blacksmith would have died by his hand.

But!

The armor before him looked so shabby.

It wasn’t even made of iron. It was leather armor that poor travelers might wear. It might have been different in the past.

He would never buy it with money and wear it now.

However, this kind of armor was carefully preserved.

They wouldn’t have kept just a piece of leather so carefully. He glanced at Lilac.

You don’t even know this?

“That’s the Tarantula’s top-grade traveler’s armor. It’s a unique set item.”

“Tarantula? Spider?”

“Yes. It’s made by selecting a powerful King of Darkness-class Tarantula among the Tarantulas, the king of spiders, spider monsters, and extracting its silk. It has tremendous elasticity and defensive power, and above all, it fits ‘any body type’.”

Lilac emphasized the words ‘any body type’. She scanned Legion up and down.

*That’s right, don’t look. It stings.*

Legion took out the Tarantula’s top-grade traveler’s armor from the glass case. Since the name is long, he decided to shorten it to Tarantula’s armor.

He puts it on, starting with his head.

“Wow!”

An exclamation came out involuntarily.

It was very light, as if he was wearing thin cloth.

Mark started scanning.

-Tarantula’s Top-Grade Traveler’s Armor (Unique Set Item).

-Option unavailable when wearing 2 types.

-Option unavailable when wearing 3 types.

-Option unavailable when wearing 4 types.

-Option unavailable when wearing 5 types.

*What the! Aren’t set items usually 4 types?*

*If it’s small, it’s 3 types. This is the first time he’s seen 5 types. Even the Overlord’s Armor set item was only 4 types.*

-Weight 3kg.

-Agility increased by 10 percent.

-Physical defense increased by 20 percent.

-Magical defense increased by 10 percent.

-Absolute resistance to spider venom created.

-Weak resistance to fire. Be careful of fire attacks.

*Ooh! Good. Good.*

It has its drawbacks, but it dramatically increases physical abilities. In particular, it was the perfect armor for a magician like himself.

Magicians are vulnerable in close combat.

Of course, not himself, but it is an undeniable fact that most magicians are weak in close combat.

But physical defense increases by 20 percent.

Legion already has higher defense than a 5-star knight. He also has the fraudulent passive skill Iron Head, so his defense is the strongest in his class.

If he wears this, he can just openly fight.

Oops!

Tears suddenly welled up in his eyes.

His now-close exclusive weapon, the ‘Bidet Staff,’ has met its fate. There was no weapon as good as this one. It seems he will have to visit the artisan Bidet, who made the Bidet Staff.

But-

Legion glanced at Drazzer.

That bastard was subtly looking around and then swiped a ring item.

*Wow, he’s really bold. He’s doing it right in front of my eyes.*

You son of a bitch!

“Give it back.”

Drazzer was startled.

The bastard is startled.

* * *

Drazzer ground his teeth as he left the dungeon. The words ‘Legion, you son of a bitch’ kept swirling in his mouth.

There is a nobleman named Nolb.

What was his surname?

Edward Nolb? James Nolb? He doesn’t remember well. In fact, that’s not important.

He had a younger brother.

The younger brother, who was very poor, was named Heungbu [a character from a Korean folktale known for his kindness].

He was famous for his kind heart. One day, he healed the leg of a swallow that flew in from the South River, and the swallow repaid his kindness and he became rich.

Nolb, who learned that his younger brother had become rich, went to find him. His younger brother told Nolb that he had become rich with the gourd seeds he had obtained by saving a swallow injured by a snake. After hearing the story, Nolb deliberately broke the swallow’s leg and then healed it again.

And he eagerly waits for the swallow to leave.

The swallow returns to Nolb’s house and hands him a red gourd seed.

Gourd flowers bloom on Nolb’s roof, and finally, gourds are produced. Nolb, with great anticipation, begins to saw the gourd, and what appears before him is not gold and silver treasures, but a tiger.

The tiger threatens to kill Nolb if he doesn’t bring him 10,000 gold.

Nolb, who lost 10,000 gold, cannot give up his attachment and saws the next gourd, but this time a dragon appears and takes away all his remaining wealth.

In front of the dumbfounded Nolb, the gourd opens on its own, and finally, a ghost comes out of the coffin and terrifies Nolb and his wife.

The dragon breathes and burns down the entire castle, and Nolb loses his house and property.

Nolb became a beggar, but he was too upset.

So, he falls into gambling to find his fortune. He loses all his remaining property.

Still unable to come to his senses, he takes out private loans.

One day, the legend is that he disappeared without a trace.

What is the difference between Nolb’s personality and!

Legion?

No matter how he looks at it, they resemble each other.

Look at that face.

Greed is overflowing.

He doesn’t understand why so many people feel affection for such a greedy man. The exclusive servants and mercenary recruits, who are considered quite strong, have even created a ‘Legion Church’ and begun to admire him. Ugh, these lunatics.

“Hey, give it back.”

Legion said once again.

He hasn’t been able to confirm what the ring item Drazzer is holding in his arms is. He was determined not to show it.

“Take all the treasures. I have a 10% right too. I’ll just take this one.”

“So what is it?”

“It’s an item.”

“What item?”

“Just a set item!”

“Oh, is that so.”

*What do you mean, is that so? He keeps aiming for this item.*

Once it goes into the owner’s hands, it will never come back to my hands. He must protect the unique item ‘Overlord’s Heart’ at all costs.

“Let’s see it once.”

Drazzer shook his head.

Unintentionally, he was in the guise of a Dark General who would make even crying babies stop in the future, but he looked very shabby.

“Let’s see it just once. I’m curious.”

Drazzer held the Overlord’s Fang and injected aura into it.

A unique, ferocious aura gushed out without hesitation. No, it’s even more ferocious than before. He was already fierce, but now that he can use dark energy, how terrifying will he be?

“Why are you doing this? Are you trying to hit me because you don’t want to give it to me?”

“You said you were curious. Haaap!”

Drazzer used aura to write letters in the air.

A surprising thing happened. The sky flickered like fireworks. Thunder rumbled and crashed.

And these letters appeared in the sky.

Vitality increased by 15 percent!

Replenish vitality!

Accelerate vitality replenishment time!

Accelerate wound healing time!

Possess state abnormality magic flash!

If anyone saw this situation, they would be speechless.

How much did he not want to put the item in Legion’s hands that he used aura to draw letters in the air?

If the knights saw it, they would be ecstatic but also dumbfounded. Moreover, it is a technique that cannot be used easily.

In the old days, ‘writing letters in the air,’ which was used to give the final teaching to a disciple, was cast in order not to lose an item.

“Hoo, is that enough now?”

Legion was also dumbfounded.

It seems he won’t be able to have the ‘Overlord’s Heart’ item. Okay, let’s give it to him. Give it. He wants it that much.

“But…….”

Legion looked around. There was one thing missing that should have been there.

Lilac?

“Where did Lilac go?”

“Oh, now that you mention it.”

Drazzer didn’t know either.

Both Legion and Drazzer had completely forgotten about her existence. It was erased from their minds from a certain point, a certain moment. It seems to have been after discovering the item.

“Foolishly…….”

Legion frowned.

It was a really foolish act. He underestimated Lilac too much.

He never imagined that she would slip away unnoticed right in front of their eyes.

“I’m sorry…….”

Drazzer also admitted it. The thought of not letting Legion take the ‘Overlord’s Heart’ was so full in his head that he didn’t notice her at all.

“I have a bad feeling…….”

Legion looked at the dungeon they had escaped from.

It was a portal when they entered, but an entrance was created when they came out. The place they entered and the place they exited are different. Moreover, a huge amount of treasure is still sleeping inside.

But now, he somehow doesn’t dare to enter.

In the 9th circle of great magic, even a Grand Master dies if the dungeon collapses in the lowest level. Unless you’re a dragon, there’s no chance of escaping.

Koo-roo-roong-

With a thud, smoke billowed out and the dungeon collapsed.

Legion and Drazzer quickly stepped back.

“Damn it, I knew it.”

If he had gone back into the dungeon to take all the remaining treasures, something really big would have happened.

Lilac!

If there is a third dungeon of the Cyclops and they meet again…… you’re really dead!

“Ah! This is sickening!”

Fortunately, Legion quickly took a considerable amount of jewels into his subspace. If not, he would have lost everything except for the three demon realm jewels and the Tarantula armor he was wearing.

“Whew.”

Legion stroked his chest as he escaped the collapsing dungeon.

* * *

-Kuaaaaaaa (You son of a bitches)!

Sephia’s ogre fear exploded.

More than a dozen warhorses running from the front were surprised and collapsed. The cavalrymen riding on them couldn’t withstand the impact and rolled forward.

Sephia kicked the fallen cavalrymen.

Bang!

With a huge sound, they flew into the sky dozens of meters.

“Uwaaaaaaak!”

The flying cavalrymen and the running cavalrymen mixed together and were smashed. Their bodies were entangled and the cavalrymen were scattered on the dirt floor.

-Kuo-oooooo!

The ogre fear exploded again.

Sephia’s eyes, which were always playful, are very different from usual. The ogre’s unique murderous intent was soaring tremendously.

-Krrr, Krungkrr (These guys dare to invade our brother’s house? You’re all dead)!

Blood was dripping from the mace.

After swearing allegiance to his brother, he began to feel the desire to kill someone for the first time. Since becoming more intelligent, he has become closer to humans and stopped thinking like that…….

He didn’t want to go back to the wild again.

He just enjoyed living with his brother like this. This village is now my hometown!

But-

What are those things?

They are trying to destroy my new hometown.

Urrrrrrrr-!

The villagers hurriedly passed by Sephia’s side.

Then, they rushed into the lord’s mansion. The exclusive servants guarding the entrance of the mansion closed the iron gate.

“Take up arms!”

“Everyone who can fight, go to the wall!”

“We need bows!”

The sound of the militia moving could be heard from behind Sephia. They didn’t have many weapons to stop the enemy because they were fleeing too hastily.

“Uwaaaang!”

“Dad, Dad, I’m scared.”

“Mom, where are you!”

The children burst into tears.

The men of the territory have had experience fighting monsters for quite a long time. But they have never experienced fighting with the same humans.

Fighting monsters is to protect my land.

Fighting with humans is…….

Who do they have to protect what from?

The concept of ‘war’ was not grasped in their minds. They couldn’t even calculate how to fight. That’s why they have no choice but to be confused.

While they come to their senses-

Sephia was going to buy time.

-Krrr.

The number of those guys can be seen. There are about 600 of them. The number of territory residents has increased considerably. Even so, it does not exceed a thousand. Among them, the elderly, women, and children are close to 750. There were about 250 men.

It is impossible to stop 600 heavily armed cavalrymen with 250 people. It is impossible to stop that number even with Sephia, whose skills have improved to the fullest.

From the front, several knights soared above the horses.

-Krrr (Damn it! Those bastards are quite strong).

Quite a few knights of at least 4-star level were mixed in there.
