Magic is Learned for Nothing – Chapter 157

A’s Secret 3

KWA-KWA-KWA-KWANG!

The mountain range trembled.

It felt like the sky was wailing.

A deafening roar, as if Armageddon had begun, engulfed the world. Thunder raged, and landslides occurred. It felt like an enormous downpour was about to begin.

The deafening roar was also heard in the Amazon orc village located at the entrance of the Dusselph Mountains.

KOO-KOO-KOO-KOO-KOONG!

The vibrations continued incessantly.

You could feel the ground trembling.

“Wah, wah, wah.”

Amadeus came out of the tent, holding her baby. Jonas and Xenon followed her. Xenon was holding a baby bottle.

Xenon had his first child before he even turned twenty. Becoming a father had deepened his gaze. It seemed responsibility had set in.

He looked anxiously between the mountains and the baby.

“Don’t cry. It’s okay. Mommy’s here.”

Amadeus smiled, baring her fierce teeth as she held her son.

“WAAAAH! WAAAAH!”

The baby cried even more.

“Let me hold him.”

Xenon naturally took the baby from Amadeus’s arms.

Fortunately, the baby seemed to take after his father.

Aside from his slightly bluish skin, he looked very similar to a human. Jonas and Xenon were relieved about his appearance.

Only Amadeus was dissatisfied.

A male should resemble an orc.

“Xenon is the best. I don’t know how you raised me. Mom only makes the baby cry.”

Jonas chided Amadeus.

“Why does he only cry when he sees me?”

Orcs holding babies popped out from all over the camp.

The village was full of life as many human males were recruited in a short period. The same was true for the neighboring orc village.

Thanks to the Legion’s steady supply of males, both villages were celebrating double blessings.

The grooms weren’t weaklings either.

Most of them were mercenaries or knights, so it was natural.

“Sister, what’s going on?”

Sharon, Amazon Orc Tribe NO. 2 warrior, approached Amadeus holding her twins.

Knight Psychop, who had been forced to marry after being separated from his fiancée, was by her side. He seemed to have forgotten the past, smiling foolishly as he looked at his twin children.

“I don’t know.”

Amadeus stared deep into the Dusselph Mountains.

“Oh! What’s that!”

Someone shouted.

A landslide occurred. It was so far away, but it was still visible from here. Tremendous flames exploded continuously amidst the collapsing landslide.

The thunderous roar echoed clearly in the ears of the orcish warrior women once again.

“Is the sky angry?”

The orcish warrior women and human grooms couldn’t hide their mounting fear.

PUH-PUH-PUH-PUH-POONG!

Wow, this is amazing!

It felt like a typhoon was raging, then a sea of fire erupted, and after blocking the fire, rain poured down, and after avoiding the rain, invisible blades of wind flew at me.

It was maddening.

Okay, I admit that dragons are the masters of magic. But this is too much, isn’t it? Okay, I understand that you have near-infinite magic power since you’ve lived for nearly ten thousand years.

Still.

What’s with the double casting, followed by triple casting, and that combination that doesn’t follow any attributes at all?

Just when I was about to block the widespread 6th and 7th circle magic, Hell Fire, said to be the ultimate single fire magic, came flying at me, and after barely dodging that, wind magic would detonate in succession.

Each attack was a high-level magic that could blow away mountains.

No matter how close to a 7-star master Dreyzer had become, it was a merciless attack that made it difficult to even focus on defense, let alone attack.

But I couldn’t just say, ‘You’re damn strong. See you next time!’ and run away after only half a day.

Dreyzer desperately blocked the magic.

“Wow, my arm hurts!”

I almost lost my arm after deflecting Hell Fire once. The magic he deflected spread in all directions and exploded intensely.

Landslides occurred everywhere.

The monsters living near the lair were about to die en masse.

Ah, this is starting to piss me off.

Actually, I’ve been pissed off for a while now.

I guess I have no choice. I’ll have to go all out from now on. I was going to conserve mana while fighting, thinking about last time, but as expected, that evil dragon Preitia is not someone to be trifled with.

I’ll show you the true essence of the Dark General!

-GOOOOOOO!

Dreyzer began to draw up all his magic power. The formidable energy that started from his dantian [energy center] spread throughout his body in an instant.

A storm of black swirling magic!

The Tyrant’s Fang trembled and began to explode with its momentum.

“Look at this.”

Preitia was quite surprised and canceled all the magic she had been casting until now. Really… it was an incredible momentum.

To think that a mere human could contain this much power in one body!

That human from back then came to mind again. Preitia alternately injected magic power into the double staff.

As if understanding, the two pairs of jewels began to emit intense light.

“Cry! Crimson Flame!”

Surprisingly, a huge fire tornado appeared in front of Preitia. A terrifying vortex of black and red flames! This is the best magic created by the double staff, as the Red Dragon.

8th circle dual casting!

The strongest magic that emits heat equivalent to the main body’s breath without returning to the main body! It is a level of magic that she herself cannot use without using this Red Dragon staff.

Why did she make this dual staff?

It was to use this magic.

The strongest magic tool created to escape from that bastard!

That bastard is gone, but she will blow away this bastard who is similar to that bastard in one shot!

“Keuheuk!”

A groan flowed from Dreyzer’s mouth.

Indeed! Is this the true power of a dragon? Why did I come here again and do this crazy thing? Such a thought flashed through my mind for a moment.

But he too had surpassed his limits.

This power that fills my whole body! Is this the power of a Grand Master, an 8-star? I’m sure I can catch that red lizard with this power.

Good, good. I can do it!

A huge vortex of fire was approaching, but Dreyzer wasn’t worried at all. If he released the magic power that was building up in his body now, he could use the Dragon Slayer’s technique at least at 3-star, or even 4-star if he tried a little harder.

Until now, 2-star was the limit!

Red lizard, taste my skill!

-GOOOOOOOOO!

Dreyzer raised the Tyrant’s Fang high into the sky and charged towards the vortex of fire.

“Dragon Slayer, Technique 1! Give me your heart!”

The Tyrant’s Fang struck the vortex of fire with powerful force.

KWANG!

The black and red vortex and the black and red powerful energy collided, creating another tremendous shockwave.

Red Dragon Preitia watched the scene without even blinking an eye.

“H, how…”

The vortex of fire was disappearing.

Behind it appeared a terrifying face that she didn’t even want to see in her dreams! And a threatening axe! Preitia couldn’t even think of dodging.

“Y, you…”

Dreyzer, who had rushed close in an instant, flashed his fangs coolly and shouted.

“Technique 2! I want to be your slave!”

The sharply transformed Tyrant’s Fang began to pour down on Preitia’s head with absolute speed.

The curse and attack power of a black magician who has entered the 7th circle is truly a symbol of terror.

People tend to put circles simply on a line of numbers… but in fact, that’s really ignorant.

I understand the intention to make it easier to calculate, but that’s something you can only say if you don’t know about magic.

A 6th circle magician can launch a formidable attack on the castle walls, but a 6th circle black magician can terrify thousands of people inside the castle walls.

A 6th circle magician understands mana and the world, but a 6th circle black magician understands and fosters distrust and lies between people. So they touch that weak heart and make parents and children fight each other with knives.

In that context, liches are about three levels above.

What if an ordinary 7th circle black magician and a 7th circle lich fight? They can’t be compared in the first place. There may be differences in the level of black magic, but it’s literally like a fight between a bad guy and a guy pretending to be a bad guy.

In other words, it’s like a fight between a guy who has killed dozens of people and a guy who hasn’t killed anyone yet.

The situation is even more serious now.

Lich Mamon is a lich who has reached the 7th circle.

If he hadn’t been a Legion’s summon, he would have been a huge headache that would have turned the kingdom upside down.

The very existence of Lich Mamon is terror.

His usually flowing hair was now disheveled, caught in black magic. His hair, floating and scattering in space, made people wet their pants involuntarily.

“L, Lich?”

Atoffee swallowed hard.

One of the ultimate undead trio.

Some say Death Knights are the best, some say Vampires are the best, some say Liches are the best, there are many opinions… but they’re all bullshit. They’re all moving disasters, so the worst guy is the scariest anyway.

But that monster-

That pig summoned him?

I clearly heard it. ‘Summon! Lich Mamon.’

What human in this world raises a lich as a summon? This is a lie. It’s a dream. It doesn’t make sense.

Atoffee shook his head.

His mind seemed to be coming back a little. His heart calmed down. He was just surprised because it looked so much like a lich.

Why was I scared when it doesn’t make sense to raise a lich as a summon in the first place?

I’m really ashamed as a devout believer in the Stone Head Church.

Let’s get a grip.

“What should we do with this guy?”

But when Mamon turned around and their eyes met, Atoffee tasted the terror of having all the hairs on his body stand on end.

Is this really a hallucination? It looks like a real lich?

“If you give me time, I’ll make him obedient in 10 minutes.”

Atoffee thought he saw the skeleton smile. I should have just died earlier…

“It’s okay. I don’t really want to hear what he has to say. I’m just thinking of making him into a stuffed animal, do you know how to make one?”

“Of course, I know. I’ve made a few in my younger days. Hehehe!”

The skeleton was really laughing. Come to think of it, I think I can see some light pink muscles between the white bones… That’s why it’s even scarier.

“Shall we make one?”

His black magic increases exponentially. His long hair flutters.

Lich Mamon reached out to Atoffee.

“Bind!”

Atoffee stopped completely. In fact, he couldn’t move at all even if he didn’t use magic, but even so, a new fear came when he was bound by the lich’s magic.

“Soul Suppression!”

“Kuaaaak! This doesn’t make sense! Poison Mist! Poison Mist, scatter!”

Atoffee resisted with all his might. He squeezed out the last remaining magic power and sprayed poison on Lich Mamon.

But there was no way that kind of thing would work on Mamon.

Lich Mamon lightly brushed off the poison and reached out to grab Atoffee’s neck.

“Keo-keo-keo-keok!”

Atoffee’s eyes widened.

Life was draining away. Magic power was running out in an instant. I’m going to die if I stay like this. I have to get out of the lich’s hands somehow…

His mind was becoming increasingly confused.

“N, no!”

Lich Mamon reached out his other hand and hugged Atoffee. Atoffee’s huge body was buried in Lich Mamon’s chest.

“Sleep in me!”

“Aaaaaaaaaaak!”

Atoffee’s body completely disappeared into the subspace.

Soon-

Clang.

Only the items that Atoffee had were dropped on the floor.
