Magic is Learned in Vain – Episode 198
# 198
Why is the Demon Lord Here 1
Draizher withdrew his magic and stared silently at Legion.
Legion was sending vampires flying far away without even using magic.
The master is a magician.
The operation of magic power is completely different from that of knights.
But who would think of the master as a magician? Unless you already knew him, no one would realize he was a magician.
Moreover, even his physical abilities far surpassed those of a decent knight.
Item buffs help a little, but-
Even without them, he is strong enough.
How can he get so strong so quickly with what kind of training?
Should I ask him once?
To what extent is the master’s full power?
How many moves could the master withstand if I used my full power?
If Legion knew Draizher’s mind, he would have said this:
Why? Do you want to trade with me?
“You little punk.”
Legion, who had defeated all the vampire trackers, pointed at Draizher with his iron sword.
Oh, was I caught?
“Why are you looking at my back with such eyes?”
“What are you talking about?”
Draizher asked back.
“You were gazing at me.”
“Gazing?”
“Gazing.”
“I wasn’t.”
“You were.”
“I wasn’t!”
“You were! You were gazing at me. Your eyes were moist.”
The master is going crazy again.
“Enough.”
“What’s enough? You were thinking strange things, weren’t you?”
“What strange things?”
“Let’s see your back!”
“…….”
Is he really crazy? Why is he thinking like that? Draizher was so dumbfounded that he couldn’t even laugh.
“More than that, what’s going on? There were definitely ten of them. Why are three missing?”
“I left them for you.”
“For me?”
“Aren’t you just standing around doing nothing? You need to do some work too. You haven’t worked in a while, have you? You’re getting paid regularly, though. If you think about it, you’re on leave. You know? You should only get 50 percent of your original salary.”
Giving me only a few dozen gold!
Don’t you think that’s too much, Master!
It’s me! Me, Draizher, one of the seven strongest in the kingdom! You’re trying to use me for dozens of years for only a few dozen gold, and you’re even trying to cut it down?
The thought of fighting the master disappeared from my head after a few words.
“Go get them.”
“Who?”
“The remaining three. I’m timing you. 5 minutes.”
“Damn it.”
“1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds have passed.”
“Those punks. 1 minute is enough.”
Bang!
Draizher disappeared from Legion’s sight in an instant.
* * *
Draizher’s whole body blazed like a flame.
He’s excited and getting hot. He’s calm now, but he’s known as Crazy Draizher.
The word ‘Crazy’ isn’t attached to him simply because he drinks and causes trouble.
It’s because he’s a monster beyond common sense.
He’s getting heated up because of the master.
The only way to cool down is-
To see blood.
His eyes began to fill with madness. Fighting spirit was activated. Like a huge lion opening its mouth and roaring, Draizher’s energy began to spread in all directions.
“Kuaaaaaang!”
His lion’s roar spread widely and struck the vampire trackers who were running away with all their might in the distance.
The vampires were startled and looked back.
Although it was a dark night because the moonlight didn’t shine, their expressions were clearly captured.
They were pale white.
“Kuhahahaha!”
Draizher shot out faster than an arrow.
Every time his huge body stepped on a branch, he moved forward by dozens of meters. Surprisingly, the branches only shook slightly.
The number of times the vampire trackers looked at Draizher increased.
“No way!”
One of the vampire trackers shouted loudly.
“Evade!”
One of them fluttered and transformed into a bat.
“Where are you going?”
Draizher unleashed his fist wind.
The tremendous wind pressure went against the branches and struck the vampire who had turned into a bat. It was a storm-like force. The bats, caught in the powerful whirlwind, couldn’t even flap their wings properly and fell.
Draizher passed by the vampire who had turned into a bat.
Another vampire gritted his teeth and turned around. He stared at Draizher head-on.
“You must be prepared to die too…….”
He drew up the vampire’s unique magic power.
But-
With a thud! The vampire’s neck snapped backward. His neck was bent back as if it were broken. The sound of blood gurgling in the vampire’s mouth flowed out.
The vampire fell to the ground.
The remaining vampire’s face turned pale.
“What? Who are you?”
“Don’t you know me?”
“I don’t know!”
“If you don’t know, get married, you punk.”
Draizher’s fist struck the vampire’s face head-on. The vampire lost consciousness and staggered. He lost his balance and began to fall from the branch.
Draizher snatched the falling vampire’s hair.
“54 seconds.”
He smiled with his lips twisted.
* * *
Crunch, crunch-
Legion took out mithril [a rare and strong metal] and chewed on it.
He’s annoyed, so he’s hungry. He’s hungry, but there’s not much to eat, so he was disassembling mithril.
-Ding! Intelligence has increased by 1. Your intelligence is now 127.
Mark, you bad guy. Is the other name for artificial intelligence a liar? When it reached 110, he talked a lot about auxiliary devices and auxiliary calculations, but when it actually reached 110, he acted like he never said that.
Really, if I ever get a red zircon [a valuable gemstone], I’m going to materialize him once. I’m going to materialize him and beat him up.
Anyway, these days, I have to eat 5 mithrils to raise my intelligence by one.
The good thing is that the ancient magic memories from the dungeon are coming back, and the bad thing is that it takes 25 kilograms to raise one intelligence.
I’m really going crazy.
I’ve raised six intelligence points these days, and I feel like my armor is a bit tight. What happens if I gain weight inside this armor?
-What do you mean what happens? Won’t your body get stronger?
So I decided not to eat it if I could help it.
I shouldn’t believe Mark’s words anymore.
-Don’t do that. I’m saying it all for your own good.
Oh, you old fart.
“So what did you plant in these guys?”
Lich Mamon fluttered his silky hair and smiled refreshingly.
“Wouldn’t it be boring if you knew in advance?”
“I still want to know.”
“If you wait a little longer, you’ll find out soon. Hehehe!”
Lich Mamon smiled eerily.
Damn it, what is it? What kind of memories did he give those guys?
Legion felt a serious sense of unease as he looked at Lich Mamon’s indescribable smile.
When Mamon gestured, the vampires disappeared in a flash. They all turned into bats and flew into the sky.
“Ah, I’m jealous.”
Legion looked at them with envious eyes.
I wish I could take off this armor and fly around. This damn armor, it’s so annoying. But…… on the other hand, I’m a little scared to take off the armor.
I hope nothing’s wrong with this.
* * *
-There’s no way. According to the data analysis, if you take off this armor, you will have a height of at least 185 centimeters [approximately 6 feet 1 inch]. In other words, you’ll be absolutely gorgeous.
That’s the most pleasing thing Mark has said.
So I was relieved…… Legion, who was crossing the Dusselph Mountains, found a strange billboard. A billboard found in this rugged, deep mountain. It’s hard to understand.
Legion read the letters on the billboard carefully.
-Available for rent.
Available for sale.
Direct transaction with the owner.
In the case of rent, no pets allowed.
A small number of guardians are allowed.
Full options available.
Young people are not welcome. Only dignified and well-mannered people.
Location: Dusselph Mountains, rugged road 35-17.
It has an area of 330,000m² [approximately 81.5 acres] and is equipped with 127 hidden spaces inside.
The previous owner meticulously managed the highest quality product.
If you are interested, please contact licensed real estate agent Dapal.
“What is this?”
Legion asked, looking at his companions.
From the time they started crossing the mountain range, Draizher had been noticing something. He became increasingly silent and kept looking around. When asked why, he only answered that it was nothing.
It’s the same now.
“It’s a rental and sales advertisement.”
“I mean, why is it in this mountain?”
“How would I know.”
“What about you?”
Legion looked at Sharonz.
Sharonz was also dumbfounded. It’s really bizarre. It’s to the point where she thinks it’s a prank made by ghosts to deceive them.
Sharonz also shrugged her shoulders.
“A house in this mountain. It’s unique. Let’s go take a look.”
Unique?
What’s so unique?
This is just weird!
Is it even possible for someone to sell a house in a mountain full of monsters?
“Let’s just go.”
Sharonz tried to stop him.
“That would be good.”
Draizher also agreed with Sharonz’s words.
He definitely fought Preitia somewhere near here. He used to look for her, but not anymore. She was a crazy bitch he never wanted to see again. He doesn’t know what kind of trouble he’ll get into if he runs into her now.
He’s not avoiding her because he’s scared, but because he’s disgusted.
“No. I’m curious.”
“Let’s just go.”
“Let’s listen to Sharonz.”
“It might be a cheap house.”
Draizher and Sharonz were really dumbfounded.
Let’s say there’s a cheap house.
So what?
What are you going to do in this mountain full of monsters?
“I mean, what are you going to do buying a house in this mountain? It’s weird no matter how you look at it.”
“Huh? What? I think it’s okay? The air is good, and it’s quiet. It would be good to have a house in a place like this to train. A great magician with a sick body might have settled here to avoid fine dust in the city and get some fresh air.”
Sharonz looked at Legion with a dumbfounded look.
I’m sorry.
I underestimated you too much.
You’re not only impossible to talk to, but you’re also out of common sense. How did you learn magic?
Legion took the lead and followed the arrow written on the billboard.
Draizher and Sharonz had no choice but to follow him with a really disgusted expression.
Anyway, he’s the leader of the team.
“Wow! The entrance is incredibly big.”
Legion stuck out his tongue as he looked at the huge iron gate that was at least 50 meters high [approximately 164 feet]. It was definitely top-quality heavy iron of enormous size.
If I disassemble this, my intelligence will drop to 1 in an instant.
Legion trembled with fear.
I shouldn’t accidentally put my mouth on the door.
“Hey! You crazy! Come here!”
Sharonz, who was terrified, grabbed Legion’s arm and pulled him out of the iron gate. Draizher had already taken refuge.
“Oh, why is it so heavy.”
Legion didn’t budge.
Sharonz didn’t know that he weighed over 500 kilograms [approximately 1102 pounds]. She thought her arm was going to fall off when she pulled him.
“What’s wrong?”
Legion looked at Sharonz with a puzzled face. Sharonz covered her mouth with her fingers and said, ‘Shh! Shh!’
So why is that?
Sharonz was dumbfounded. Is this guy really stupid?
“Hey! It’s obviously a dragon’s lair!”
“Dragon’s lair?”
“Yeah, come here quickly. If there’s a dragon in the lair, we’re all going to die!”
“I won’t die.”
“What nonsense are you talking about!”
“There’s no one inside.”
“How do you know? It looks like there’s a lot of defensive magic on it.”
“I scanned it.”
“Scanned?”
“Yeah. Scanned. Simply put, it’s magic that finds out who’s around.”
“There’s no dragon?”
“Yeah.”
Sharonz raised her upper body and looked at the lair’s huge door. She couldn’t detect the dragon with her abilities. Legion is amazing after all.
Of course, being amazing and being out of common sense are separate things.
“But you.”
“Me, what?”
“Is it okay to show your face like that?”
“Why my face?”
“There.”
Legion pointed to the strange machines hanging everywhere.
“It’s a magic machine with CCTV magic on it. It records what happened when the owner is not there. Your face was captured.”
The blood drained from Sharonz’s face.
I’m doomed. I heard that dragons have the best memory ever. They never forget what they see and hear.
Then what about me?
It’s obvious that the dragon will use that magic to identify me. From now on, I can see the end of my life. I’ll be caught by the dragon, suffer all kinds of hardships, and then leave the world.
I’m doomed, I’m doomed!
Princess of the Vampire Kingdom is over.
What makes me even more angry is!
It was that shameless bastard’s attitude.
“Hmph, you must have been caught too!”
“No.”
“What do you mean no?”
“I covered my face with a helmet. Even if the dragon sees me, he won’t know. By the time he looks for me, I’ll have taken off my helmet.”
Wow, what a sly bastard.
“Then Draizher라도…… This 쓰벌.”
Draizher disguised himself so that they wouldn’t recognize his identity.
As a woman.
He has a lot of beard, so is he a woman just by shaking his hair in pigtails? Why is he wearing a skirt? Where did he get that? Could it be from my bag? Ugh, you pervert!
Sharonz forcibly suppressed her seething anger.
It doesn’t make sense, but the probability that the dragon will find them seemed to be less than 0.1 percent.
In other words, only I’m screwed.
“Aaaaaaak!”
Sharonz grabbed her head and shook it. What is this bolt from the blue?
“Stop acting up and come here quickly, let’s go in.”
“How do you go into a dragon’s lair!”
“How do you go in?”
Legion opened the door lock and pressed the numbers.
1, 1, 1, 1.
-You entered the wrong number.
“Again.”
1, 2, 3, 4.
-Beep, unlocked.
In an instant, dozens of defensive magic spells that had been surrounding the dragon’s lair disappeared in an instant.
The huge iron gate opened automatically with a creak. Legion and Draizher strode into the dragon’s lair as if it were their own home.
Sharonz became confused.
What, what kind of bastards are these?
