Magic is Learned for Nothing – 140

# 140

Bede’s Staff 1

Natalie picked up Steel’s statue and moved it to a safe place.

Thump! Thump-thump!

A tremendous battle had begun.

Hunched over, she approached Mizsette’s statue.

Mizsette had been quite friendly to her compared to the others. If left here, the statue would be caught in the crossfire between Medusa and Legion and be destroyed.

Natalie ducked her head, avoiding the shrapnel flying in all directions.

She rescued Mizsette’s statue and then Hailer’s. She even dragged Buffalo’s statue to a safe spot.

“Hmm. What about this one?”

It was Lulu’s statue.

She didn’t know Lulu. The only dwarf she vaguely remembered was Bede.

Since she didn’t know this dwarf anyway, was there any need to save her?

Natalie sighed.

“I don’t know, might as well save her while I’m at it.”

Natalie grabbed Lulu and dragged her to safety.

Moving a statue that couldn’t move an inch was no easy task. She was soon drenched in sweat.

Besides, lava was flowing underground. The entire cavern was unbearably hot.

Drip-drip-

The sweat Natalie shed quickly turned into steam and evaporated.

“Hah, hah, what’s left now?”

It was Haimo, the warrior.

A short-haired warrior. She felt a sense of disgust the moment she saw her.

A bald head would have been much better. Natalie couldn’t understand why she kept her hair in a bob like that.

Annoying, but still a subordinate of Legion.

If she saved this subordinate, wouldn’t he deduct about 1,000 gold? Since she saved all the subordinates, that would be 5,000 gold. Wait? Then 5,000 gold would be left from the money Rene stole.

Would that be hers?

Natalie felt good at the thought of having 5,000 gold in slush funds.

She risked her life again and ran towards Haimo.

Dragging Haimo’s statue, which was over 2 meters tall, to a safe zone was not easy.

Her back ached as if it would break.

“I think I should get 2,000 gold for you.”

Natalie thought about 6,000 gold as she struggled to move Haimo.

That’s when it happened.

Boom!

An even more powerful magical explosion occurred.

Natalie glanced at their fight and clicked her tongue. Medusa was an incredibly powerful monster. How many beings in the world could fight against that?

Moreover, the opponent was the Three-Headed Medusa, known to be several times stronger than a normal Medusa.

But-

That pig was fighting the Three-Headed Medusa on equal terms.

Legion looked different again. She had only thought of him as a loan shark pig who squeezed blood from people, but it seemed he was more than just a loan shark pig.

Legion was blinding himself and smashing Medusa’s face with a hammer.

‘Oh, how cool.’

Natalie immediately shook her head.

‘I must be crazy, what am I thinking?’

Her ideal type was a tall, handsome man who was good at studying rather than fighting.

Not a man who was so fat, short, and only good at fighting so ignorantly.

But for some reason, Natalie’s face turned red when she saw Legion.

“I don’t know, I don’t know.”

Natalie grabbed her cheeks with both hands.

-Huh? Huh? Huh? Hey, you crazy bitch! What are you doing letting go!

Haimo fell to the floor.

Crack!

* * *

-Critical hit, sir.

-Another critical hit.

-Fire Blast cast. Medusa’s defense has decreased, sir. Hit her more, sir. Hitting the same spot has double the effect, sir.

Mark’s support became even more intense.

Excited, Legion retreated and cast spells in succession, and Medusa was busy blocking the spells.

Then he would immediately stick close and hammer her.

The Three-Headed Medusa felt that she was going to ruin.

-Kuh-huh, you trashy bastard!

The Three-Headed Medusa staggered.

She supported herself by planting the trident on the floor. Electricity crackled from the end of the trident.

‘That trident looks really good. Can you scan it?’

-Only part of it can be scanned, sir.

‘Is it a good weapon?’

-It’s a legendary weapon, sir.

‘Oh, oh, a legendary weapon? What are the options?’

-4th circle lightning magic can be used, sir.

‘4th circle lightning magic. Not bad… but that’s not enough to make it legendary, is it?’

-Judging from Medusa’s behavior, it seems that lightning magic is automatically activated on enemies within a 3-meter radius, sir.

‘Automatic activation?’

-Yes, sir, the automatic activation option is quite rare, sir.

‘You can use lightning magic on allies too, right?’

-Well, that might be the case, but unless the creator is an idiot, wouldn’t they have included an option to specify? Lightning magic activated on all enemies except allies. Like that, sir.

Hoo! Then it would be useful.

-The options I can identify are like that, sir. There is a high probability that there are other options as well, sir.

‘Oh, then it’s really good.’

-Don’t you dislike weapons like that, sir? It’s a trident, sir?

‘I don’t really like it, but if I disassemble it and take out the main parts, I can use it to make a staff later, right? Then, a staff that feels good in the hand and gives you chills with electricity is complete!’

-Oh ho. That doesn’t sound like a bad idea, sir… But to do that, you’ll need a blacksmith with tremendous skill, sir.

‘If Bede is still alive, I can ask that dwarf.’

-Good idea, sir.

Thus, the Three-Headed Medusa’s exclusive weapon’s fate was decided.

Disassemble and merge with Bede’s staff!

Legion pointed at the Three-Headed Medusa with the hammer.

“Give me the trident you’re holding. Then I’ll spare your life.”

-……?

The Three-Headed Medusa thought she had misheard.

In this cavern, she was the king and the god. No life could defy her.

She had spared some of the more capable ones.

They were now working day and night to build the Three-Headed Medusa’s nest.

And now this guy dares to say he’ll spare my life?

Is this human being out of his mind? Is he getting arrogant just because he touched my body a little?

-I’ll put you in my stomach and slowly melt you for a year. You’ll taste the pain of hell.

“You’d better hand over that weapon if you don’t want to be boiled for a body tonic.”

-You’ll regret those words!

The Three-Headed Medusa’s enraged attack began.

Her tail swung wildly, sweeping across the walls and ceiling.

Crack! Crack!

Broken sculptures and statues fell into the lava.

Legion easily dodged the Three-Headed Medusa’s tail attack and quickly approached.

-You bastard!

Lightning magic fell on Legion’s head.

Legion stretched out his left hand and deflected the lightning magic. The Three-Headed Medusa blinked in surprise.

“I’ve already memorized your techniques.”

Legion floated into the air.

It was considerable agility that didn’t match his fat body.

The Three-Headed Medusa appeared in Legion’s mind with his eyes covered. She was right in front of him. There was a slight difference from seeing with his eyes, but the accurate shape and three-dimensionality were clear.

“I’ll make you into snake soup.”

Legion struck the Three-Headed Medusa’s face with Lulu’s hammer.

Thwack!

The impact was so strong that her face quickly swelled up like a volcano. Her nose bone broke, and her cheekbones caved in. All of her teeth were broken in one blow and scattered on the floor.

-Kuaaak! Die!

The Three-Headed Medusa summoned electricity again in anger.

“Go over there!”

Legion slammed the steel staff he was holding in his left hand into the ground. It acted as a lightning rod and absorbed the lightning.

At the same time, the hammer began to pour down relentlessly.

Thwack! Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!

The Three-Headed Medusa’s face was crushed.

The Three-Headed Medusa had never received such a great shock before.

She had never been hit like this by anyone. But now, that crazy pig was hammering her face.

-Y-you… bad guy.

Just before the Three-Headed Medusa collapsed, she stretched out both hands and grabbed the back of Legion’s neck. Perhaps because he was hammering so excitedly, Legion was caught in Medusa’s hands with absurd ease.

The Three-Headed Medusa used all her strength to headbutt Legion’s head.

Crack-

Something broke.

* * *

“Hehehe, Mark, you were right. It’s loot.”

Legion picked up the trident that had fallen to the ground.

-Three-Headed Medusa’s Trident.

Attack power increased by 50 percent, sir.

4th circle lightning magic is automatically activated except for the designated user, sir. If you don’t designate it well, the people around you will get struck by lightning, sir.

Good compatibility with water-based magic, sir. If used together, you will get an additional 250 percent damage, sir. There is a risk that the caster may also be electrocuted, sir.

However, the hardness is not high, sir. Do not use it violently in close combat, sir.

If it breaks, you’ll be the only one upset, sir.

‘Hmm, after reading it, it’s a bit ambiguous.’

‘So this trident seems to be a type of staff. It’s useless for beating people like the steel staff or Bede’s staff.’

Still, it was by no means a low-quality item.

In particular, if used with water or snow magic, it could inflict enormous damage on the opponent.

It seemed to be able to deal quite a bit of damage to the Red Dragon that Dreiser was so desperately searching for.

‘Well, it’s destined to melt and disappear anyway.’

Goodbye, trident.

Legion glanced at the Three-Headed Medusa. Blood was flowing from her broken forehead. She seemed to be unconscious with her three tongues sticking out.

He decided to give up on boiling snake soup.

“Even so, I can’t really eat monsters.”

-I would like to recommend it, sir.

‘What?’

-Three-Headed Medusa snake soup, sir.

Mark’s ultimate goal was to make Legion’s seed strong. Helping him spread it a lot was also one of Mark’s reasons for existence. Although he was currently an empty shell due to the vasectomy… wouldn’t it get better someday?

For that time, it would be good to accumulate his stamina little by little.

Snake soup, isn’t it the best health food that has never changed since the birth of snakes? It’s probably better than hydra meat that has been successfully farmed.

“I’m not eating it.”

-Eat it, sir.

“I’m not eating it even if I die. How can I eat that!”

Legion shouted, pointing at the Three-Headed Medusa who was collapsed and bleeding.

-Just by looking at it…

-The broth is amazing, sir.

-Green onions, a little salt, how delicious would that be, sir.

“Uweeek- It’s not my taste. I don’t really want to eat it.”

-Think about your offspring, sir.

“Shut up! Undo the vasectomy.”

-……

“Instead of me……”

Legion looked at the temple members who had turned into statues.

‘Let’s feed them.’

Somehow, the statues seemed to be wriggling as if trying to escape. Natalie, who had turned pale, was the same.

‘That… crazy guy. What is he talking about eating?’

‘He’s been talking to himself, laughing to himself, and sighing to himself since a while ago.’

He looked pretty cool when he fought the Three-Headed Medusa…

“Huh?”

A gasp escaped from Natalie’s mouth. She was startled and shouted at Legion.

“Duck!”
