Magic Is Learned For Nothing [EN]: Chapter 148

The Legendary Pig 1

KWA-KWA-KWA-KWANG!

A lightning strike landed directly in front of Legion.

The knight charging from the front contorted grotesquely in a yellowish light. Unable to stop due to his momentum, he was engulfed in the lightning.

“KREEEAAK!”

The knight’s armor, struck by the lightning, was charred black. It might have been an expensive purchase, but now it was just a heavy, useless wreck.

A face full of disbelief.

‘Could he not have imagined this?’ Legion thought. ‘Calling me a pig so carelessly. Did you know how much that hurt me? If I didn’t have power, you would have constantly mocked me.’

Piglet, piglet!

How is it? Getting hit by a pig.

You guys should suffer five times more.

Legion immediately approached him and swung Lulu’s hammer.

CRACK!

A powerful impact.

The helmet shattered, and his forehead broke open.

Blood spurted everywhere. The knight’s eyes rolled back from the shock. Legion kicked the knight in the stomach. The kicked knight flew over 10 meters and crashed to the ground.

“W-what is this?”

Baron Signal stared at Legion in disbelief.

The electric magic Legion used a moment ago looked like a 3rd Circle spell [a measure of magical power and complexity], but the power far exceeded that of a 4th Circle spell.

‘Is he a mage?’ he thought.

But no.

Looking at how he fights, he’s definitely a warrior.

Extremely rough. Moreover, his weapon is a short-necked woodworking hammer. I’ve never seen anyone fight with such a hammer. There are maces with such a blunt end, but….

The forehead of the subordinate hit by the hammer was miserably broken.

It would be better to die from a sword wound.

“This pig bastard….”

“Don’t call me a pig, pig! It makes the pig who’s listening feel bad!” Legion retorted, clearly annoyed.

Legion stretched out his left hand.

The charging knight stopped dead in his tracks.

“W-what is this?”

“What else could it be? Magic.”

The knight was surprised by the black substance filling his vision, but he would never remember what came after. Legion’s hammer had already crushed his face.

“Next… Lightning Strike!”

Three skills unfolded in succession.

Pre-delay 1 second, post-delay 2 seconds. This… the feeling is great, and in terms of casting processing time, it’s even faster than a mere 3rd Circle spell.

Very good!

KWA-KWA-KWA-KWA-KWA-KWANG!

Three knights approaching were directly hit by lightning.

There was no way to avoid it. Lightning suddenly struck without any preliminary signs. The only downside is that its attack power is slightly less… but this ability to flinch and immobilize is truly amazing.

All three knights stopped.

The armor is also flimsy.

Legion immediately smashed their heads with Lulu’s hammer. A tremendous amount of blood spurted from their broken foreheads, soaking Legion.

To think the Iron Eyes skill would become this useful.

I hadn’t used the Iron Eyes skill for a while. To be honest, I didn’t want to use it. The feeling of my eyeballs burning. That’s incredibly unpleasant.

Moreover… recalling the decreased intelligence made my heart ache, making me even more reluctant to use the skill. I wasn’t planning on eating steel anymore, and since the level was MAX, I didn’t think it would increase any further.

The condition for leveling up was a different mineral.

Surprisingly, the Iron Eyes passive skill transformed into an active skill when it leveled up.

It would be great if it weren’t for the fact that my hair doesn’t grow.

Every time I use it, my hair shines with gloss. It’s as if I don’t need to wash my hair separately.

That’s why I didn’t want to use it….

But it’s too useful.

The remaining knights retreated without realizing it.

At first, they looked down on Legion, who was short and fat. He had a face that made you want to hit him. A face that wouldn’t make you feel guilty even if you punched him once.

But it’s different now.

Legion, covered in blood, looked quite fierce. His playful eyes looked demonic.

He really looks like he has a terrible personality.

“You guys, come here too.”

Legion gestured.

The knights continued to retreat.

“If you retreat any further, I will strip you of your knighthood,” Baron Signal shouted fiercely.

Stripping of knighthood.

The worst disgrace for a knight.

Even if a knight causes an accident, the lord does not easily strip them of their qualifications. This is not just a problem for the knight because it also diminishes the lord’s prestige, face, and popularity with the knights. Most of them end up just notifying them of the termination of the contract.

Those who are kicked out in that way flow to other territories or become wandering knights.

However, being stripped of knighthood is like being branded. You have to hide your name and live in shame for the rest of your life.

Baron Signal is saying such a thing.

“Stripping of knighthood, you say.”

The knights smiled bitterly and adjusted their swords.

It’s better to die than to be stripped of knighthood, so that the family can receive the pension from the Knights League.

“Fire Will!”

Legion surrounded himself and the knights with Fire Will.

The mana consumption is more severe than expected due to the lightning strike. All the mana potions were already consumed in the Three-Headed Medusa’s dungeon. I have to replenish mana naturally, but it seems it will take at least 30 minutes.

Of course, I had no intention of waiting that long.

There is a way to deal with those guys with the remaining mana.

The first operation is Fire Will.

Thanks to using Fire Will, the knights’ expressions turned pale. They realized there was no escape.

‘Are you scared?’ Legion thought. ‘Don’t piss your pants, you incompetent bastards!’

However, there was one thing Legion overlooked. The knights, under the threat of Baron Signal and the psychological pressure of having no escape, began to rush at Legion with all their might.

“Captain! I’ll go first!”

“Please make sure my family receives the pension!”

Legion frowned. This isn’t good.

Still…….

“These bastards have lost their minds.”

‘I’ll make you think it’s better to get hit by lightning and die in one shot,’ Legion thought grimly.

Legion activated the unique skill of ‘Lulu’s Hammer’, ‘Swiftness’.

Now he could beat the knights 1.5 times faster.

* * *

Baron Signal’s heart was burning.

His mouth was dry. Hundreds of thousands of gold were disappearing before his eyes.

The work was almost done….

The knights were helplessly falling to the pig bastard, dwarves, and dark elves who suddenly appeared.

They were truly amazing experts.

“Where the hell did the Pseudo-Man go!”

Knowing the strength of the dark elves, he released poison, and still not feeling safe, he even invited the Pseudo-Man from the magic tower. He looked reluctant, but what could he do? The promise with his father could never be broken.

He forced the Pseudo-Man into this situation.

The effect was perfect.

Very satisfied.

He was able to catch all the dark elves without a single casualty.

Everything was going smoothly until those crazy bastards intervened.

“Damn it, damn it.”

Baron Signal took off his gloves and chewed his fingernails.

It was a habit he had since he was young whenever something he didn’t like happened. After he cut and killed the nanny who kept telling him not to bite his nails, no one said such things anymore.

“What to do, what to do.”

His heart was pounding heavily.

‘Don’t get excited. Don’t get excited,’ he told himself.

He forcibly held onto the darkness that was trying to cloud his mind.

If he doesn’t think of a way now, he might go bankrupt with his trashy subordinates.

The kingdom strictly prohibits slave trading.

If the fact that he was involved in slave trading was discovered, it would be very difficult.

What if the fact that he was selling drugs was also exposed?

“Tsk… I can’t back down like this. You sons of bitches.”

Baron Signal looked at Rene. He seemed to have come to his senses now. He cheered for the dark elves with a swollen face.

“Cheer up! Please get rid of those beggars!”

Step, step.

Baron Signal approached Rene.

He kicked the boy’s face. The boy rolled on the dirt floor. With both hands tied behind his back, he couldn’t take any defensive action.

“You bastard, you damn whore’s son! Things got messed up because you didn’t tell me the information properly! Who the hell is that pig bastard! Who is he!”

Pow, pow, pow, pow!

Baron Signal trampled on the fallen Rene.

He stomped down even more violently as if it didn’t matter if he killed him.

“Keuhuk, I, I told you everything….”

“Don’t lie! You bastard! You were hiding that pig. Who is he!”

“I, I don’t know. I really don’t know.”

That man is Rene’s last pride.

The person who saved him. In fact, swiping his wallet from his arms was just a bit of a prank.

He stole the wallet but didn’t use the money. He was quite surprised by the enormous sum of money inside. He was tempted to wipe his mouth clean, but he wasn’t such a depraved dark elf as to steal from his benefactor.

Dark elves never betray, he had heard that so often since he was young.

Rene does not betray.

‘I should return it tomorrow morning,’ he thought.

But before that, he was caught by Baron Signal.

Since then, the boy had been experiencing unprecedented pain. Unable to overcome the pain, he ended up telling them the location of the village. He also had confidence that his father, uncles, and brothers with superior abilities would be able to defeat them.

However, he would never say anything about that man.

He doesn’t know why he’s here.

That man saved him.

Now he is saving the village.

In the boy’s eyes, he was an angel, a champion of justice, and a hero. He defeats the villains with overwhelming force. It was so thrilling that his hands and feet curled up. His body was in pain, but his heart was relieved.

The sight of Baron Signal and the knights, who had been so fierce, being flustered was so satisfying.

‘In the end, you guys are nothing special,’ he thought.

“Get your asses kicked by him like dogs! You bastards!” Rene shouted loudly at Baron Signal.

Blood pooled in his mouth and dripped down his jawline. Nevertheless, his eyes did not die.

“Yes, that may be the case. But you won’t see that sight. Why? Because your neck will fly off first.”

Baron Signal grabbed Rene’s back and forcibly lifted him up. Then he took out a dagger and put it to Rene’s neck.

“Everyone, drop your weapons! Don’t use magic! Don’t anyone move! I’ll count to three. If anyone moves while I’m counting to three, I’ll stab this little brat in the neck!”

Baron Signal shouted. And immediately shouted.

“Three! Two!”

It was when he counted two to three.

Perhaps because the child was taken hostage, Bidet, Lulu, and the dark elves stopped. Immediately, the guild members began to counterattack.

In an instant, the situation was reversed.

WHOOSH!

At that moment, a hammer flying through the flames of Fire Will struck Baron Signal’s face directly.
