Magic Is Learned For Nothing [EN]: Chapter 205

The More Subordinates, the Better 2

Legion entered the room and looked around.

It was decorated quite charmingly to suit Sharon’s taste. He couldn’t imagine sparring in such a place.

“Are we really doing this here?”

Sharon blushed.

The word ‘do’ sounded too suggestive.

She grabbed her cheeks and shook her head wildly. *I must be crazy. What am I thinking?*

*But… I don’t hate it.*

Just looking at his jawline, she could tell how handsome Legion was. *When else would I be embraced by such a handsome man?* Her father and brother would surely arrange a political marriage for her.

Because that’s how royal authority is maintained.

Vampires are generally handsome.

But to Sharon, they all looked the same. They lacked a certain individuality.

That outstanding individuality—that man has it.

Legion…

*Treat me like an animal.*

Sharon nodded slightly.

“Okay. Get ready.”

Legion said.

“I’m ready.”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

“Are you going to stay like that?”

“You can do whatever you want.”

“Alright. Here I come.”

Clang, clang.

Sharon watched Legion approaching with a thumping heart.

*Oh my! So powerful.*

Legion started beating Sharon with his fists.

* * *

It was the time when the sun was setting.

The four-wheeled carriage carrying Hanks was speeding down the road. The momentum was so fierce that the vampires nearby quickly moved out of the way.

They could have cursed, but the vampires bowed as they watched Hanks’ carriage pass. The royal flag fluttered on Hanks’ carriage.

Hanks, a handsome middle-aged man, had wrinkles etched across his forehead.

The vampire kingdom, which had been solid for over a thousand years, was shaking.

Hanks thought it was all because of the ‘Black Dragon’s Blood’.

*All the problems in the kingdom start with that ‘Black Dragon’s Blood’. I don’t know why our race has to take on the incarnation of the Black Dragon.*

Of course, he knew how dangerous the Black Dragon’s incarnation was. Its mere existence caused serious contamination to the minds of vampires. How much time and money had been invested to seal it?

But that seal was broken not long ago.

One of the members of the resolution organization forcibly broke the seal and stole the ‘Black Dragon’s Blood’ and ran away.

*I understand their feelings well enough.*

The head of the resolution organization, my father, collapsed. Hundreds of other vampires were killed without a trace.

*Yes, it’s a situation to be scared of.*

But it’s not right to pass it on to my youngest brother.

He was angry at his second brother, who was leading the resolution organization in place of his father.

“But… who was it that brought Father down?”

Officially, it is known that Father collapsed due to illness…

But that’s not true.

Father lost in a duel with someone.

When Hanks found him, his heart had already stopped beating halfway. The damage was so severe that it couldn’t be regenerated. His heart was slowly reviving, but it was hard to know when he would recover.

He could suddenly get worse and fall into eternal rest.

*Before that!*

Hanks wanted to catch the guys who were pushing the vampire kingdom into chaos. But he still couldn’t find their trail.

His mouth was dry.

The assassination squad was fully mobilized, but their whereabouts were still unknown.

Furthermore, his youngest brother also disappeared with the ‘Black Dragon’s Blood’. The assassination squad member attached to his youngest brother was Beyond. He was a fairly upright person and someone he could trust to do the job.

*If—*

He told them to let his brother go quietly if he didn’t hand over the ‘Black Dragon’s Blood’.

Tears welled in his eyes.

He had no choice. The value of the ‘Black Dragon’s Blood’ was so high that it was beyond imagination.

If Elsa’s symbol is ‘Blood Orichalcon’ [a mythical metal], Elsa’s power comes from the ‘Black Dragon’s Blood’.

The power that only the royal family can have—

No, to be exact, the power that only the one who will continue the kingdom can have—

It was a public secret among the royal family that it came from the Black Dragon’s Blood.

The process was only known to the king.

Instantly breaks through the 7th circle of Red Magic [a high level of magic proficiency].

It not only increases the magical ability for Black Magic. The Death Beast Dark Worm protects him. The Dark Worm completely offsets the physical weakness of vampires.

In other words, the vampire’s stats increase several times.

To become a king also meant becoming the strongest in the vampire kingdom.

That’s how his father fell.

Without a trace.

It means that the opponent knows the weaknesses of vampires, or is stronger than he could have imagined.

*Can I really face those guys?*

But the problem was that he didn’t have any trustworthy colleagues. He couldn’t trust even his friends who had been with him for a long time.

Even relatives and vassals all looked like enemies who would usurp the kingdom.

That’s why Hanks’ personality became more and more sharp and violent.

He hardly slept, so his eyes were always bloodshot. Eventually, unable to withstand the mental breakdown, he began to forcibly take human blood, which had been tacitly forbidden since 500 years ago.

Forcibly taken human blood was like a drug to vampires.

Once you touch it, it’s hard to quit. From then on, they begin to see humans not as humans, but as prey.

That’s why the ancestors who settled here gave a strict order to all vampires not to hunt humans.

To avoid fighting with humans?

No. It was for the preservation of the vampire race.

Once vampires start drinking human blood, they will definitely move south.

And they start creating great problems. The continent turns into a living hell.

Nevertheless, Hanks, unable to bear the stress, craved human blood.

“Sniff, sniff. What’s this?”

Hanks flared his nostrils.

There are humans nearby. The vampire kingdom is not a completely closed place. Rarely, humans come to trade. Perhaps this human scent was from those merchants.

At least within a 1 kilometer radius.

Hanks, who had already tasted human blood, became extremely sensitive.

The veins on his forehead popped out. Saliva gathered in his mouth.

He wanted to drink the fragrant blood of a living human.

Crack—

He clenched his teeth, but he couldn’t bear it.

He scratched his whole body with his fingernails. *No. This maddeningly strong human blood smell made Hanks’ mind plummet deep underground.*

The devil awakens.

“Aaaah, I can’t stand it.”

Hanks grabbed the handle of the carriage.

At that moment—

He couldn’t open the handle of the carriage and go outside. An enormous amount of magic was binding his whole body.

Hanks trembled and turned his head to his front seat. A man in a black robe was looking at Hanks. Nevertheless, the thirst for blood still didn’t stop.

He knew that the opponent in front of him was strong. He was also curious about how he appeared here.

But the most important thing for Hanks was—

“Human?”

“You’ve become a beast.”

“Human?”

“If you’re human?”

“Offer your blood to me.”

“Hehehe, if you offer your soul to me first, I’ll think about it.”

“My soul?”

“Yes.”

“Insolent. If I may say so myself… Keuheok.”

The man in the black robe grabbed Hanks’ neck tightly.

Hanks couldn’t even put up a proper resistance. Hanks was a 6-circle master. He was the number one candidate to be the next king. He couldn’t do anything about it.

“As expected, this works well for vampires.”

The man in the black robe was mixing drugs and human blood and injecting it through Hanks’ veins.

Hanks couldn’t use his hands or feet due to the unimaginably powerful pleasure. The pleasure was so strong that he lost the fact that he was the crown prince and peed his pants.

“You, are you the guys who are after the ‘Black Dragon’s Blood’?”

Hanks said, squeezing out the words.

“That’s right.”

“Who… who are you?”

“I’m Wednesday. One of the bishops of the Stone Head Church.”

“S, Stone Head Church?”

“Yes.”

“Are you planning to revive the Black Dragon?”

“That’s right.”

“You, you crazy bastards… the Black Dragon is not a dragon. Do you even know that!”

“Of course.”

“If you revive him, the Middle Earth will be destroyed. You must never revive him!”

“Originally, to open a new world, you have to sweep it away once. If the Black Dragon is revived, we can get rid of the *잡것들* [assorted riff-raff] all at once. How easy is that.”

“You… crazy bastard.”

“History will judge whether I’m a crazy bastard or not. Then, goodbye.”

Wednesday tightened his grip. Then, a huge amount of blood and drugs were injected into Hanks’ neck.

“Keuheoheok.”

Hanks’ eyes rolled back. Black veins popped out of his neck as if they were about to tear. He trembled.

He couldn’t exert any of the power he had built up.

Soon, Hanks lost his life in a very painful manner.

Swish, swish—

Only Hanks’ clothes, magical artifacts, and accessories were left, and he turned to ashes. The ashes remained in place in the position he had fallen.

Looking at the dead Hanks, Wednesday twisted his lips.

Only the lower part of his face is revealed through the hood. His lips were thin and the lines of his face were very beautiful.

And—

What was visible between the smiling smiles were the pointed fangs, the trademark of vampires.

“Your vampire race will be the sacrifice for the resurrection of the Black Dragon.”

Wednesday’s body turned into fog and disappeared.

The coachman who was driving the carriage glanced back at the carriage and tightened the reins even more.

* * *

Legion, Drazzer, and Sharon were standing in the path where Hanks’ carriage was passing.

Sharon’s face still had bruises.

Thinking about a few days ago, she wanted to jump out of bed in the middle of the night and cut Legion’s throat with a knife.

*Screw plastic surgery magic!*

*This son of a bitch!*

*He’s a pervert.*

*He’s definitely a pervert.*

He smiled brightly as he hit her.

“Come on baby! Is that all you got? What’s up! Babe.”

*This crazy bastard.*

Sharon, who was furious from being hit, activated the Blood Set item. It is a legendary item that increases all the basic stats of a vampire by nearly 50 percent.

She was able to go into berserker mode without drinking blood.

Sharon’s eyes rolled back and she rushed at Legion—

She was beaten like a dog and stopped when she was about to die.

Item buffs and everything didn’t work on that son of a bitch. *Even if I’m ugly, this is too much.* She closed the door and locked it tightly so that no one could come in and ask for help.

Legion said to Sharon, who was lying on the floor, half-conscious.

“Do you feel better now?”

At this time, Sharon was convinced that Legion was a pervert.

*Getting hit and feeling desire? I’m not into that!*

“If you ever feel that way, come to me anytime (Let’s spar anytime, anywhere if you feel frustrated. It will relieve your frustration much more).”

*What? Am I crazy? It’s not my desire, it’s your desire. What’s the point of being handsome? I want to have a normal love!*

Sharon gave up on Legion.

Even if he took off his helmet and had a face as handsome as a god, she was confident that she would never waver.

She didn’t have the confidence to continue her love while being beaten like that every day.

She glanced at Drazzer.

*What the hell is that bastard’s identity? Why did he braid his hair in pigtails with that fierce face?*

*Is that bastard also a pervert?*

Originally, people of a feather flock together. *Maybe that bastard is definitely a pervert too.*

Could they be in that kind of relationship?

The image of Legion in armor and Drazzer with his hair braided in pigtails looking at each other with deep eyes came to mind.

*It’s so annoying.*

Sharon’s misunderstanding is getting deeper and deeper.
