Magic is Learned for Nothing – Episode 184

# 184

Invincible Weapon 1

Legion looked at the four fallen old men.

He wasn’t particularly knowledgeable about poison. But there was Mark, who was an expert on poison, and more than anything, he had become a body that couldn’t help but know about poison.

Especially spider venom, he could identify it instinctively 99 percent of the time.

A faint scent of southern jungle spider venom emanated from the bodies of Baserabab and the three Guardian Mages.

Their mana cores were forcibly sealed.

Their magical power output was probably limited to 50 percent or less.

So those great old men were being chased and pushed all the way here without being able to use their strength properly.

Fortunately, it was a poison that would detoxify itself over time.

-They’re unconscious.

I know.

Legion nudged the old men. Age couldn’t be hidden, it seemed.

He hadn’t expected that the Grand Sage of the 8th Circle or the three Guardian Mages would collapse so easily from such a minor attack.

That was a wrong thought.

Their magical power had plummeted to less than half.

Moreover, they had been fighting non-stop while coming here. Even the young knights had come through the pandemonium with a tenacity that made their mouths taste bitter.

In that state, Legion faced the sword wind.

It was a completely different attack than they had expected.

It was like expecting the opponent to play scissors but suddenly throwing a punch.

Moreover, all their shields were broken.

It was a miracle they weren’t dead.

If their power had been intact, Legion would have been the one lying on the floor in the opposite situation.

-Their energy pathways are blocked.

Energy pathways blocked?

-Yes. The impact must have been strong. It’s a blockage that will clear on its own with rest.

This isn’t the time for that.

-That’s the problem. They’re all old, so they might get a cerebral hemorrhage or a stroke if we’re not careful.

Oh, shit, that’s a big problem. What should I do?

-It’s simple. Just unblock their energy pathways.

How?

-Remember the book ‘I Became a Dragon Slayer the Easiest Way’ by author A?

I remember.

-It explains human energy pathways very well.

I don’t know how to do it.

-Just press where I tell you to press.

Mark scanned the old men’s bodies. The bones and muscles were surprisingly visible.

The blood vessels were displayed in detail on Legion’s retina.

Several places were sparkling. A text saying ‘Press here’ popped up with a ‘ding ding’ sound on their chest.

Wow! It’s amazing that I can see the old men’s bodies in such detail. Mark, your abilities are endless.

-I’m not called the most advanced artificial intelligence for nothing. I’m the strongest in my class.

He doesn’t seem to have any shame because he’s an artificial intelligence. He’s gilding his own face like that.

Clang, clang.

Legion approached the old men and pressed the arrow with his finger.

-Warning! Warning! The old man may die. You are pressing with 30 times the required pressure.

Why, why?

-Crazy! You’re supposed to press lightly! What are you doing pressing so hard! Oh no! The blood vessels are going to rupture.

“Kuh-huh-huh-heok!”

Baserabab’s mouth spewed blood.

His face turned dark. Black blood vessels popped out all over his body in an instant. He looked like he was about to die any second.

“Ugh-ugh-ugh!”

Baserabab twisted his limbs. His mouth was crooked. His muscles were twitching.

Oh! I’m going crazy. What should I do?

-Warning! Warning! He’s entering a Qi Deviation [a state of imbalance in one’s vital energy]. The old man’s condition is rapidly deteriorating. The probability of cerebral hemorrhage increases by 36 times, the probability of stroke increases by 77 times, and the probability of total paralysis increases by 90 times.

Just then, the three Guardian Mages, who heard Baserabab’s scream, woke up. They coughed because their energy pathways were blocked.

“Cough, cough.”

The blocked energy pathways were cleared.

The stuffiness in their chests disappeared. They saw Baserabab twisting his body like an octopus on the floor.

“G-Grand Sage!”

“What on earth happened?”

“What? Was it you? Did you do this to the great Grand Sage!”

The three Guardian Mages looked at Legion with hostile eyes. More than 80 percent of the poison had been detoxified. Their magical power was slowly returning. Even though they were exhausted, they had enough power to help Baserabab escape.

Legion shook his head.

“I am not an enemy. I helped you.”

“Nonsense! You look exactly like Asura Baron!”

“Or a Demon Lord.”

“Haa, here, take this.”

Legion opened a subspace. A bony hand popped out and handed Legion an identification card.

The three Guardian Mages were horrified when the bony hand appeared.

“T-This immense magical power? A Lich [an undead creature, a powerful sorcerer who has achieved immortality by transforming into a skeletal being]?”

Legion struck the skull with his iron sword. The skull screamed ‘Kkyaek’ and disappeared into the subspace.

“You must have mistaken.”

“It’s definitely a Lich.”

“I said you’re mistaken! You’re not in your right minds yet.”

“Clearly…….”

“I said you’re mistaken!”

“A-Alright.”

“First, look at this and check.”

Legion showed them his identification card.

“Baron Legion?”

“That’s right.”

It was a name they had heard often, but they couldn’t remember it. They tilted their heads.

“I am Legion of the Alexander family. The reason I am wearing armor is to avoid being exposed to the Continent King.”

“Really?”

“Really.”

Legion unfolded Black Box magic in the air.

It was magic developed by Mark to review battles with enemies. He developed the magic, but he had never used it before.

He never thought he would use it like this.

The video showed Legion destroying the buildings where the snipers were.

Only then did the three Guardian Mages realize that they had misunderstood.

“Oh dear, how could this be? We fought for nothing.”

“Sorry about that.”

“It’s alright. I think it’s understandable given my current appearance.”

“So, what should we do now?”

The situation was very urgent. Every minute and every second was precious.

Thanks to Legion, the enemies’ offensive had stalled. But it was only temporary. Soon they would reorganize their ranks and launch a massive counterattack.

Yet, the enemies had not shown their true colors.

Those who were confident enough to capture an 8th Circle Grand Sage!

Who could they be?

Who on earth had set this trap?

Legion simply answered their questions.

“The enemy is Marquis Porse.”

“M-Marquis Porse?”

The eyes of the three Guardian Mages trembled. Marquis Porse was the Continent King’s closest aide. He was like a snake, and no one wanted to associate with him even a little bit.

He was one of the most difficult opponents to deal with.

“If it’s him… he must have set up a double or triple trap… It won’t be easy to get out.”

Gunfrake clenched his teeth. The thought that this might be the beginning made him feel hopeless.

“Keo-keo-keo-keok!”

Baserabab hit Gunfrake’s calf with his palm. The bloodshot in his eyes looked like it would burst any moment.

You bastards, stop talking about that and do something about me first!

“Ah!”

Surprised, Gunfrake cast a healing spell. But Baserabab showed no improvement. Instead, he rolled his eyes even more and looked more painful.

What should I do?

Legion was also at a loss.

Fortunately, the three Guardian Mages did not see that he had pressed the wrong energy pathway.

Baserabab was the same. His pain intensified as time went on.

But he couldn’t euthanize the 8th Circle Grand Mage.

-Use the crystal.

Crystal? What crystal?

-You have the crystals you’ve been collecting, right?

I do. But I don’t know what they’re for.

-Anything can happen if you pay to win. The character will return to the beginning.

?????

What are you talking about?

Legion didn’t understand Mark’s words.

-There’s something like that. Hurry up. Grand Sage Baserabab might really become disabled if you don’t.

Legion nodded. He took out the three best crystals.

“Hold Baserabab.”

“Is there a way?”

“I’m going to feed him these.”

Legion showed them the crystals. They were crystals with a very radiant light.

The three Guardian Mages hesitated for a moment because they didn’t know what they were. It wasn’t poison, but they couldn’t feed anything to the Grand Sage.

“We can’t save Baserabab without this.”

“We have no choice but to trust you.”

“Let’s trust him. Isn’t he Baron Legion, who infiltrated the enemy’s heart for us? We have no choice but to trust him now.”

The three Guardian Mages looked at each other and strengthened their resolve.

“We’re counting on you, Grand Sage.”

They grabbed Baserabab’s shoulders, arms, and legs as he twisted his body. The old man’s strength was enormous. He shouted ‘It hurts! It hurts!’ and resisted fiercely.

‘I’m counting on you.’

Legion grabbed Baserabab’s chin. Baserabab’s chin opened. He shoved all three crystals into his mouth at once.

“Kuh-huh-huh-huh-heok!”

In an instant, letters began to line up on Baserabab’s retina. It was something he had never experienced in his life. He felt like he had come to a land in a fairy tale.

-Deconstructing Legion’s crystals.

Weeeeeeeing!

Baserabab heard something grinding in his ears.

-Your blood vessels are being restored. Arteriosclerosis [hardening and narrowing of the arteries] is being cured. The probability of stroke has decreased to less than 5 percent. Qi Deviation has stopped. You are 5 years younger than your original body condition. In particular, the condition of your testicles has become 30 years younger. Sperm is starting to be produced again. If you have plans for a late child, now is the time.

W-What? What is this?

Baserabab couldn’t close his mouth at the absurd situation. The pain disappeared in an instant.

-Intelligence +1. Intimacy with Legion, who increased your intelligence, increases.

-Magic power increases by 3 percent. Intimacy with Legion, who increased your magic power, increases further.

Letters also appeared on Legion’s retina.

-Intimacy with Grand Sage Baserabab is skyrocketing. He wants to give you everything. He wants to make you his disciple. Becoming his disciple is not recommended. His disciples will be very jealous of you.

W-What is this?

-If you maintain intimacy, you can draw a response from the Magic Tower. You will be able to use more than 50 percent of the power of the Magic Tower. The disciples feel intimacy with you for saving their master.

Wow! All sorts of things are happening.

So, you’re saying the Magic Tower will be on my side?

-That’s right. It’s a pretty good income for exchanging 3 crystals.

Legion forcibly suppressed the laughter that was about to burst out.

“Heo-heo.”

Baserabab gasped for breath.

The tearing chest pain subsided. He raised his head and looked at Legion. His eyes were very warm. He didn’t seem to feel any of the murderous intent emanating from the armor.

He clearly remembered in his faint consciousness. Legion fed him his precious crystals. He barely survived by eating them.

He was a lifesaver.

He was over ninety years old.

It wasn’t strange to die at any time. So he believed he had transcended death. No, it was an emotion that deceived me.

I knew it this time.

Baserabab wanted to live longer. Moreover, didn’t it clearly say on his retina that sperm activity had started again?

Still-

I am a man.

I’m not dead.

Baserabab grabbed Legion’s hand. It was on top of a hard gauntlet, but he didn’t care.

“Thank you. I lived thanks to you.”

“I just did what I had to do.”

“If we get out of here, I will definitely repay you.”

“No. I didn’t want anything from the Grand Sage. I only thought about the safety of the kingdom and the Grand Sage’s life.”

-Disgusting…….

Shut up!

-Baserabab is moved. Your intimacy with him increases further.

“This is not the time for this. Marquis Porse’s evil hands have not ended yet. We must leave this place quickly.”

“Can we escape?”

“I’ll do my best.”

Legion nodded and started walking forward.

Clang, clang.

It’s so slow.

Their lives were at stake, but they had no choice but to walk slowly as if they were sightseeing.
