Magic Is Learned For Nothing [EN]: Chapter 141

Magic is Learned in Vain – Episode 142

# 142

Bidet’s Staff 3

The Legion strained every nerve to approach the Three-Headed Medusa. During the approach, he was hit once in the shoulder and twice in the thigh. Finger-sized holes were pierced through.

Damn it, that hurts like hell.

If it weren’t for the Tarantula’s armor, he would have been hit in the heart half a dozen times and died.

However, it didn’t completely block the pain. Although it avoided penetration, the impact felt like a hammer pounding on his chest. It was hard to breathe with every movement, as if his ribs were cracked.

But what else could he do?

If he wanted to live, he had to approach that thing and smash its big head.

The skill of firing compressed heat from that thing had an incredibly short delay time. Usually, all mages have a delay time because they convert mana into magical power. Other races were similar. No race can activate skills directly from mana.

But those snake hairs were indiscriminately spewing ultra-high-temperature skills with almost no delay time. That’s why close combat wasn’t easy.

Of course, they tried ranged bombardment together.

It was no match.

The Legion’s barrier was easily pierced by the hell lasers fired by the Three-Headed Medusa.

And not a single spell he used could penetrate the Three-Headed Medusa’s barrier.

The magical defense had become incomparably higher than before.

However, the Legion wasn’t about to give up without a fight. He grabbed Lulu’s Hammer and chose close combat with the Three-Headed Medusa. Clearly, that thing was vulnerable in close combat.

And-

He reached right in front of the Three-Headed Medusa.

“Ouch, that hurts. Now it’s your turn to suffer.”

The Legion swung Lulu’s Hammer at the Three-Headed Medusa’s face.

Clang!

Ziiiiiiiiing~

“Ugh!”

The Legion’s palm tore as Lulu’s Hammer bounced off. The hammer spun around and hit Haimo’s petrified head.

-Ding, Temple Haimo’s intelligence has decreased by -2. Overall combat power decreases accordingly. Divine power has weakened. Feed it a crystal to restore its stats.

Damn it.

You don’t have to provide useless information in such a tense situation! I don’t care if that guy’s intelligence drops or not. As long as my intelligence doesn’t drop!

The Legion punched the Three-Headed Medusa’s barrier.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Thin ripples formed in the air. But even with the Legion’s strength, he couldn’t break the Three-Headed Medusa’s barrier. The Legion’s fists were soon covered in blood.

-Hehehe, foolish human. Did you think you could break my barrier with human abilities!

“Screw you! Shut up! I’m going all the way!”

The Legion arched his back greatly. He headbutted with all his might.

Clang!

Surprisingly, the Three-Headed Medusa’s barrier, which seemed like it could deflect any attack, shook violently. The faint ripples turned into waves.

A definite feeling came.

One more time!

The Legion arched his back with all his might. He slammed his forehead into the barrier with every ounce of strength he could muster.

Claaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang~

The barrier cracked.

-Unimaginable Diamond Head!

-Wh-What is your head made of!

Mark and the Three-Headed Medusa’s voices, mixed with admiration and shock, were heard simultaneously.

I don’t know if this is good or bad.

I really don’t want to use the Iron Head skill. But sadly, it’s too useful.

Good. A couple more times and I can break the snake woman’s barrier.

-Foolish human!

Splat! About ten hell lasers struck the Legion’s entire body.

The Legion, unable to withstand the impact, flew more than ten meters and fell to the ground.

“Khehehe.”

Damn it, that hurts like hell.

He was hit by five hell lasers in the chest. It felt like being struck hard in the side with a hammer while holding his hands behind his back. It hurt so much that tears wouldn’t even come out. He couldn’t breathe.

Only painful screams flowed from his mouth.

-Get up! Get up!

Mark shouted, but his body wouldn’t listen. He was completely out of it.

Even mobilizing all his abilities didn’t work against the Three-Headed Medusa.

His insides were boiling.

Dreyzer’s greasy face came to mind. If that guy saw this, he would definitely say this.

“It seems like the master can’t do without me after all. How can you be my master when you’re so weak? Weak. Weak.”

Damn it, I’m getting angry!

The Legion forced himself to get up. But it was difficult to support his body with both thighs pierced. He fell right back down.

“Damn it… Damn it.”

It’s been a while since I’ve been this angry.

It wasn’t because of that snake head.

It was foolish to have overestimated his abilities so far.

With such weak abilities, he can’t even catch a single snake.

-Get up quickly! You’ll die if you lie down like this!

I know. I know. I don’t want to die either.

The Legion gritted his teeth and got up.

Damn it-

As he got up, a flash of lightning struck his mind.

The Three-Headed Medusa seemed to have no intention of delaying any longer. As soon as the Legion got up, the hell lasers from all three pairs of eyes fired simultaneously.

At that moment!

Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwang!

The Three-Headed Medusa’s hell lasers vanished in an instant.

The Legion and the Three-Headed Medusa were both surprised.

The Legion looked at the staff stuck in the ground. This staff saved his life.

What the hell is this?

* * *

Bidet is known as the best artisan of toilet crafts. In fact, his goal was to create the ultimate toilet.

A toilet isn’t just a place to relieve oneself. It also includes bathrooms, showers, and washrooms.

There was a legend that a toilet he made as a joke for a certain nobleman when he was very young became a representative tourist attraction in the territory.

Could that be why?

He was too arrogant.

He only took one disciple and came to find the Three-Headed Medusa. He said to the Three-Headed Medusa.

“I have the best toilet craft on the continent. From what I see, you seem to be relieving yourself anywhere in a place like this. It’s very unsanitary. I’ll make you a sanitary toilet. In return, you give me Soul Lactinium [a valuable magical substance].”

Immediately, Bidet’s disciple, Lulu, turned to stone.

“Why, why are you doing this?”

Bidet, surprised, shouted at the Three-Headed Medusa.

-I have no intention of sharing Soul Lactinium with you. But making a toilet is a very good idea. Use that ability for me for the rest of your life.

That’s how Bidet was captured by the Three-Headed Medusa and had been making toilets for 30 years.

He made toilets every single day for 30 years. Of course, the scale was enormous. Perhaps because there were many minerals underground, the splendor was the best, at least within the kingdom.

Thanks to that, Bidet became even more skilled as a toilet craftsman.

But it became an ability that no one recognized. He had no choice but to live with only self-satisfaction.

At first, he had no doubt that someone would save him.

At the very least, he thought that the dark elf Sanka, who was close to him, would send a rescue team.

Certainly, the dark elf rescue team did come. But they all turned to stone and couldn’t return.

The same was true for other treasure hunters. About 100 people had visited this place in the past 30 years. None of them returned alive.

They became statues and became food for the Three-Headed Medusa when she was bored.

Today was no different.

Some crazy treasure hunters seemed to have broken into the dungeon to defeat the Three-Headed Medusa and get treasure. They’ll probably turn to stone in less than an hour.

But-

Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwang!

It seems like the treasure hunter is holding out longer than expected. Oh well, it’ll probably end soon.

Another hour passed.

Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwang!

“Could they still be fighting?”

His heart started beating again.

The hope of life that he had given up was revived. Bidet hurried outside and watched the battle scene between the Three-Headed Medusa and the treasure hunters.

“What’s that pig?”

He couldn’t believe his eyes.

How could someone so fat fight so well? He was smashing the Three-Headed Medusa with a hammer. It was almost an overwhelming fight.

But it wasn’t over yet.

The real game was left.

That huge body was just an open target.

“Ah, I guess it’s not going to work.”

Bidet sighed deeply. The Three-Headed Medusa, who had transformed into her complete form, was driving the fat man away with almost overwhelming power.

The fat man even used magic.

He was really surprised.

He thought he was a warrior because he fought with a hammer. But his real job was a mage. Certainly, he felt more free when using magic than when fighting with a hammer.

But his magic couldn’t penetrate the Three-Headed Medusa’s barrier either.

That’s when it happened.

He was really surprised this time too.

The fat man was tearing the Three-Headed Medusa’s barrier with his head.

Even from a distance, he could clearly see that the Three-Headed Medusa’s barrier was being torn.

It was amazing.

He had never seen such a sight before.

He had seen the complete form transform three times in 30 years. The magical power of the beast form and the human form are on different levels.

The Three-Headed Medusa, who had transformed into her complete form, crushed her opponent in less than a minute. It was impossible to compete.

“Ah, that’s too bad. What a waste.”

The fat man almost tore the Three-Headed Medusa’s barrier. But unfortunately, he suffered a near-fatal blow and collapsed. It seemed impossible to fight any further.

Bidet looked at the staff he was holding. It was a staff he had disguised as a toilet fixture to avoid being caught by the Three-Headed Medusa.

“Good. I’ll put my hope in you.”

Bidet threw the staff with all his might. The spinning staff stuck in the ground and instantly evaporated the ultra-high-temperature skill fired by the Three-Headed Medusa.

Bidet shouted.

“The passion and romance that pass by like the wind, I still have a rough dream left in this world.”

* * *

The Legion looked at the staff. It was a very strangely shaped staff. It’s just long. There are a few strange buttons and it doesn’t look like a weapon.

But it’s definitely a weapon. Because there’s a gem he’s never seen before embedded at the end of the staff, floating around. It was definitely a magic stone that enhances the mage’s magical power.

The Legion limped towards the staff. He grabbed it and lifted it. It’s quite heavy. It seems to have the weight of a medium iron staff. The feel wasn’t bad.

“Hmm.”

Even though he grabbed it with his hand, the strangely shaped staff didn’t provide any information. This was the first time this had happened.

Scan it.

-Scan impossible.

Huh? Why?

-It’s a hidden staff.

What’s that?

-The ability is only unlocked when certain conditions are met.

Then it’s useless now.

-That’s right. It’s only useful for hitting. Ah, judging from the fact that it blocked the attack a little while ago, it seems to have excellent resistance to fire. It is probably made of granite.”

Granite?

-It is a mineral with very high resistance to fire. Also, weapons mixed with granite can inflict additional fire damage.

That’s a pretty good mineral.

-That’s right. This is also not an easy mineral to obtain.

Good. Let’s block that thing’s attacks with this and try close combat again.

-If you can get close.

The Three-Headed Medusa’s attack started again. That thing’s hell lasers poured down on the Legion without a break.

I don’t know why, but I felt like it was rushing the attack. Is it lacking magical power? Well, it must be burdensome to continue using skills with that much power.

Maybe an opportunity will come.

The Legion swung the staff like a sword, blocking the hell lasers.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

It does have quite an impact, but it’s bearable. Ugh, or not. It hasn’t even blocked a few times, but the staff is starting to crack.

“You idiot! Why are you using it like a sword! It’s a staff! A staff with super powers!”

Bidet shouted at the Legion.

Only then did the Legion look at Bidet. A very young-looking brat was talking down to him. Is he a baby Medusa?

The Legion flipped Bidet the middle finger.
