Magic Is Learned For Nothing [EN]: Chapter 115

The Magic I Learned Was Useless – Episode 116

Fierce Battle 2

Legion swallowed hard.

He admitted that he had been completely deceived.

‘That’s why my parents told me from a young age not to trust women with smiling eyes.’

He was completely fooled by her cute appearance and clumsy way of speaking.

Lilac was a monster NPC [Non-Player Character, a character controlled by the game] who would even resort to cannibalism to extend her lifespan.

“You mean she has been maintaining her body with your life force?”

-That’s right. She is scared of you now and ran away… but she will definitely come back. She is the woman who corrupted even Cyclops.

“Wait a minute, what are you talking about? Didn’t Cyclops create Lilac?”

-If you are talking about appearance, then yes.

“You mean the core is different?”

-That’s right. We can only speculate that a demon from the Demon Realm infiltrated her. But one thing is certain. The Cyclops we knew was in great pain even after converting. He was constantly worried if this path was the right one. It was that woman who completely led Cyclops down the path of corruption. She forcibly opened the gate to the Demon Realm and forcibly merged the demon beast Gracia with Cyclops’ body. It was all her scheme.

Legion felt a chill down his spine.

She was a truly scheming woman—no, a real piece of work.

If Dreizler and I had been even slightly less skilled, I can’t imagine how we would have died.

-She will definitely come back.

“Why?”

-Because you are the one who ruined the 500-year contract.

Ahhh! I’m doomed. I’m going to get sniped by a witch.

-Please call us when she appears.

Huh? What are you talking about?

Number 1,212 held out a small jewel. It was a mana stone.

-This is a jewel containing our magic power. We call it a smartphone. If you inject your magic power into it, we will fly to where you are immediately.

“Is it one-time use?”

-No.

“You can use it as many times as you want?”

-Yes.

Number 1,212 seemed to realize what Legion meant by asking that.

-You are our savior who saved our lives. We couldn’t use any power inside the glass tube. We couldn’t even move a finger, let alone escape. Thanks to you, we were able to escape. As long as you are alive, we will definitely repay you. Call us anytime and we will fly to you immediately.

-Ding-ding, you have gained a powerful helper. The ultimate monster Chimera Corps. 81 individuals. They will be a reliable ally as long as you are alive.

Yes! I hit the jackpot.

Legion barely managed to hold back his gaping mouth. He never thought that something he did without thinking would come back to him like this.

“But it’s a bit weird to call you Number 1,212.”

-Is that so?

“Yeah, can I call you something else?”

-It would be an honor if you would give us a name.

“Looking at that blue Milky Way, it reminds me. How about Galaxy?”

-Oh, Galaxy? That’s so cool. We are grateful just for saving our lives, but even such a wonderful name. Thank you so much.

“It’s nothing. I’ll make a name for each of you later.”

-My colleagues will be very happy.

Number 1,212, who got the name Galaxy, was genuinely happy.

The eagle’s face smiles brightly. It seems that he doesn’t smile often. His expression also seemed to have forgotten how to smile. He repeatedly opened and closed the ends of his beak.

He smiled for the first time in 500 years since he was born as a Chimera.

Queens and ten knights stood beside Count Persimmon’s bed. They were doing their best to persuade Count Persimmon.

“It seems that a territory war has broken out. I’m sorry, but we will move you, Your Excellency.”

Queens reached out to hug Count Persimmon.

Count Persimmon closed his eyes and raised his hand. It was an action to tell her not to.

“You must escape from here. Baron Legion’s strength can never stop them.”

“Who are you referring to by ‘them’?”

Even though his intelligence had declined, the Count was making sufficient judgments.

However, speaking for a long time would be a problem, so he was trying to keep it as short as possible.

“It seems to be Viscount Beach. Not only them, but also Viscount Hound, Viscount Lemon, and Viscount Nadir are also aiming for Baron Legion’s territory.”

“Is that so?”

“The tigers are gone, so the foxes are running wild.”

“Then what are the foxes aiming for?”

“Pardon? What do you mean by that?”

“I mean exactly what I say. What are the foxes aiming for?”

“Are you talking about Baron Legion?”

“That’s right.”

“A baby wolf?”

“You seem to like Baron Legion. Is that all you can evaluate him as?”

Queens recalled the chubby Legion in her mind. He seemed a little cute… but he looked much better when he was handsome.

“How does Your Excellency… see him?”

“Do you know his patron?”

“Are you talking about Crazy Dreizler?”

There is no one in the kingdom who eats with a sword [is a warrior] who doesn’t know about Crazy Dreizler. If you don’t know, you’re an idiot.

“That’s right. That Crazy Dreizler. He is also my senior brother.”

“Pardon?”

Not only Queens but all the knights gathered in the room were surprised.

They had never thought of connecting Count Persimmon and Crazy Dreizler. Moreover, isn’t Count Persimmon much older than Dreizler?

If he’s a senior brother, why is he a disciple?

“The family tree has become like that. He was a senior brother with a terrible personality from a long time ago. He was as strong as his personality was terrible. For him to sponsor someone… it’s impossible. I still can’t believe it.”

“What does that mean?”

“It means that Baron Legion has something far more than we think!”

“Then a baby tiger?”

“We’ll have to watch. Whether he’s a tiger or a roe deer. So I have no intention of leaving here.”

“If the territory is occupied… we will also be in great danger. There is a high possibility that they will silence us.”

“That’s right. They will be even more elated to see me in this state. They might cut off my head and take the earldom.”

“Even so, do you trust Baron Legion?”

“I don’t trust that man.”

“Then?”

“I trust my senior brother’s discernment. I think Baron Legion might be my senior brother’s disciple.”

He completely missed the mark.

If he knew that his senior brother was Baron Legion’s ‘servant,’ he would surely grab the back of his neck and collapse. Then he would be the disciple of a servant.

“So let’s wait comfortably. If my expectations are wrong… what else can we do but die?”

Count Persimmon put his hands on his chest and closed his eyes.

He breathes in and out. He breathes regularly. He fell asleep quickly.

Queens looked at the knights and gave orders.

“Even if that’s the case, we must prioritize His Excellency’s safety. It will be too late if the territory is occupied. Secure an escape route.”

“Yes.”

The knights nodded with hardened faces.

Whoosh!

Hundreds of fireballs flew into the sky.

It was a spectacular sight to behold. It was a spectacle that you would never normally see. The problem is that the situation that is happening now is by no means normal.

The front yard of Legion’s mansion had become a battlefield of death and killing.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Hundreds of fireballs fired by the exclusive servants exploded in the air.

A faint barrier was created when it exploded.

It was a massive attack that dealt a huge blow to Baron Parasol’s forces, but it did not cause much damage to Viscount Beach’s cavalry.

“Deploy the Shield of God in succession!”

The high priest with snake eyes shouted.

The priests chant about the main god.

A barrier that blocks magic attacks was created in several layers above the heads of the cavalry, knights, and paladins.

쾅! 쾅! 쾅! [Sound of explosions]

The attack magic that flew from inside the mansion did not penetrate the priests’ barrier even once.

The priests of the main god are famous for their excellent defense and healing abilities. In particular, their outstanding healing abilities have saved countless people from the fear of death.

Thanks to this, they had the most followers among the seven major religions on the continent.

However, their attack power is terrible compared to other religions.

You can see it as the lowest. The same goes for the paladins.

To make up for this, the paladins of the main god used magic weapons with embedded mana stones. Once they have attack power, they with their powerful healing abilities, demonstrate terrifying abilities on the battlefield.

“Good! Break through!”

Dozens of cavalry units brushed past Sepia.

The long spears they threw with all their might flew towards Sepia in droves. It was a long spear thrown from a running horse. The power of the spear with acceleration was great.

Tatatang! [Sound of spears hitting armor]

Most of the long spears bounced off without penetrating Sepia’s armor.

However, one or two penetrated Sepia’s defense and were embedded in his thighs, sides, and shoulders.

-Kuaaaak! [Roar of pain]

He can withstand a few shots.

However, if the impact continues to accumulate, it is difficult for even Sepia to withstand it.

Moreover, knights were mixed in with the cavalry. The mana-filled long spears dealt considerable damage to Sepia.

-Kuaaaaak (You bastards)! [Roar of pain and anger]

Sepia swung his mace with all his might.

Crack!

The cavalry, who had not escaped from Sepia’s range, was smashed and flew away. The upper body of the cavalryman riding with him was nowhere to be seen.

It was an enormous amount of power.

-Keuk, keuk, keuk. [Sound of labored breathing]

Sepia was exhausted. He had been swinging his mace non-stop for 3 hours already.

The exclusive servants and new employees said they would fight together, but he stopped them. I will hold out as much as I can, so you prepare for after me.

It was also a word that took the end into account.

Sepia realized that magic was no longer flying from behind his head. Twenty-five exclusive servants fired magic non-stop. In the beginning, it seemed to work a little, but soon a barrier was created and blocked all their attacks.

However, they could not stop the magic attack.

Because hundreds of heavy infantrymen with blue eyes are glaring at them and will charge all at once.

The moment they start charging all at once-

A mass slaughter occurs.

Judging from their behavior, they appeared with the intention of annihilating this place.

That’s why I couldn’t kneel down.

However, unlike his heart, his body was gradually reaching its limit. His vision is blurred because he shed so much blood.

“Sepia, you must not fall.”

The exclusive servants approached Sepia. Everyone had made up their minds, took out their swords, and threw away their scabbards.

-Keureureung (Get out of here. Go and protect the villagers). [Sepia’s growl]

“It’s better to form a defensive line here. Because you are here, Sepia. Unless we can use magic, we will be defeated individually.”

Bacon replied.

-Keureureung (Can’t use magic)? [Sepia’s growl]

“No matter what we do, we can’t penetrate the divine power. It seems to be at a similar level to us, but the defense is much stronger. We can’t penetrate it with magic. It’s a difficult situation in many ways.”

-Keureureung (Are you going to stop them here)? [Sepia’s growl]

“I think we have to.”

-Keureung, Keureung (Who went to the Orc tribe)? [Sepia’s growl]

“Steel went. Because he is the fastest among us. But it’s best not to have hope. No matter how fast he is, it will take at least a day to get to the Orc village. It will take that long for the Orcs to come here. We can’t last two days.”

-Keureureung (Two days…). [Sepia’s growl]

Impossible.

First of all, there were too many enemies. On the other hand, there were too few people who could fight on this side. There were fifty militiamen, but they had no experience fighting against the army. I appreciate their hearts, but annihilation is only a matter of time.

-Keureureung (What about the children)? [Sepia’s growl]

“Mizset took the women and children and fled. But there are many pregnant women… I don’t know how far they can go from here. If you want to save them…”

-Keureureung, Keureureung (We have no choice but to buy time here to the death). [Sepia’s growl]

“That’s right.”

-Keureureung (Okay. I’ll stand at the front). [Sepia’s growl]

“I will follow you.”

-Keureureung (Everyone! Listen). [Sepia’s growl]

“Haap.” [Sound of agreement]

-Keureureung (Everyone die here)! [Sepia’s growl]

“Haap.” [Sound of agreement]

-Keureureung (But you can’t die alone. Five per person. Kill at least five and die. Do you understand)? [Sepia’s growl]

“Haaap.” [Sound of agreement]

The exclusive servants’ shouts became incredibly loud.

-Kuaaaaaaaa (Let’s go)! [Roar of battle]
