Magic is Learned for Nothing – 214

Under the Moonlight (2)
Toc, toc-
Wednesday walked through the castle located in the heart of Blood City.
Four spires were erected around the castle. If a large-scale enemy invasion occurred, the magic stones at the pointed ends of the spires would activate.
The four-colored magic stones would soar to the end of the sky and then spread in all directions, completing a barrier.
It was a nearly invincible barrier.
It was no exaggeration to say that the reason the vampire kingdom of Elsa had been able to withstand the attacks of the Lycanthropes [werewolves] was because of this barrier.
Wednesday glanced at the spire and headed towards the Grand Hall. Originally, the Grand Hall was where the King discussed state affairs.
However, with the King seriously injured and collapsed, all state affairs came to a halt. Hank briefly took over the King’s duties and resumed state administration, but it didn’t last long.
He would never return.
The current occupant of the Grand Hall was Spielberg.
He wore the crown, the symbol of the King, and held the King’s staff. He had already been fed plenty of blood containing narcotics, and his eyes had gone mad.
“Your Majesty.”
Wednesday bowed slightly as she looked at Spielberg.
Spielberg smiled brightly at the sound of “Your Majesty.” It was the sound he had longed to hear, even in his dreams.
He thought the crown was unattainable.
Then his sister, Carrie, approached and said.
“I will make your dream come true, brother.”
At first, he didn’t believe it.
He was rather suspicious. He thought she held a grudge against him for being locked up in the dungeon for so long.
“Thanks to you, brothers, I realized that I am a royal of the vampire kingdom of Elsa. I am disgusted that I mixed my body with Lycanthropes. So, please help me get married safely, have sons and daughters, and live well. At least, let me marry a noble within the top 5 of the nobility. In return, I will do my best to help you.”
Spielberg was half in doubt.
However, she gradually dismantled the secret organization, which could be said to be her father’s hidden power, over several decades.
His father became penniless.
Watching the process, Spielberg felt a thrill.
She was a sister who was more than capable of becoming the head of an organization. Spielberg said to his sister.
“If I become king, I will entrust the assassination squad to you.”
“That’s too much. I am happy just that you become king, brother.”
“Hahaha! You are a loyal subject.”
Spielberg laughed heartily.
Like a king-
That’s how his father fell and his brother died. He knew who had done it without even opening his eyes.
And finally, the throne came to him.
In the current situation, no one opposed him becoming king.
His rhetoric enraged the citizens-
Their eyes rolled back.
Of course, the older ministers were worried, underestimated him without understanding the situation, and opposed the war. They all disappeared without a trace.
Everyone noticed that it was not a simple missing person case.
Everyone lay flat on the floor and held their breath.
Spielberg kidnapped humans from the Grand Hall and killed them. He committed the atrocity of drinking human blood in front of the ministers. The ministers were horrified.
Spielberg forcibly shoved human blood into their trembling mouths.
Spielberg’s madness spread uncontrollably.
His madness infected even the citizens, and they shouted “Kill the humans” every day.
“Will you drink it too?”
Spielberg shook the bottle in his hand. The glass bottle was red.
It was probably human blood.
Wednesday bowed her head deeply. Her lips spread thinly.
Spielberg was the one who burned her children.
Her father had said, ‘The children are still young. Let’s end it with banishment.’ Her older brother didn’t say anything. Since he was like her father’s alter ego, it must have been an expression of agreement.
But her younger brother objected.
“To keep the seeds of Lycanthropes in the castle? I can never allow it. Didn’t Father say it? Even a strong dam collapses because of a small hole. No matter how young they are, they are the seeds of Lycanthropes. What happens if they grow up and open that castle gate? The kingdom will collapse. Who will take responsibility for that sin!”
That’s how the two young siblings disappeared in the flames.
Wednesday clenched her hands tightly. Her fingernails dug into her palms.
I won’t kill you in a normal way. I will show you the end of hell!
“I’m fine.”
“It tastes very good. Today is the day of the red full moon. One glass is fine.”
“No. There is something more important, so I came to see Your Majesty at this late hour.”
“Something important?”
Spielberg’s eyes twinkled. His blurry eyes gradually returned to normal.
“Yes, this.”
Wednesday took out the ‘Black Dragon’s Blood’ she had taken from Sharonz from her bosom. It was a glass bottle smaller than a fist. Although it looked like a glass bottle, it was an object containing the essence of ancient magic. A whopping 30 layers of barriers surrounded the glass bottle.
Unless opened from the outside, the Black Dragon’s Blood inside can never awaken.
“Oh, oh, oh! Black Dragon’s Blood!”
Spielberg carefully received the glass bottle. Inside, the dark red blood surged as if it were alive.
“If I perform that ritual, I will become a living god, right?”
“That’s right.”
“But it’s the Black Dragon’s Blood. Can I withstand it?”
“You know that the Black Dragon is divided among five races, right?”
“Yeah, I’ve heard the story. But no one knows which race it is.”
“They don’t know. But we also know what the Black Dragon’s avatar is, don’t we?”
“The Black Dragon’s avatar entrusted to us is ‘Blood’. A symbol of curse and madness.”
“That’s right. But there is no will. The most dangerous are the Black Dragon’s Heart and the Black Dragon’s Consciousness. The Black Dragon’s Heart is a symbol of destruction, and the Black Dragon’s Consciousness is a symbol of chaos. If you avoid these two, the other avatars will not cause much harm to the caster.”
“Are you sure?”
“I have experimented enough. If you become one with the Black Dragon’s Blood, you will have unimaginable magic power. You will have the power of God in your hands.”
“The power of God…….”
“From now on, stay away from human blood. Don’t even drink water. You must cleanse your mind and body.”
“I will do so. When would be a good time for the ritual?”
“In fifteen days. How about the day before the expedition? Show the soldiers of darkness with Your Majesty’s powerful magic. Their morale will soar to the end of the sky.”
“Hehehe, that’s good.”
Spielberg burst into wild laughter.
He imagines himself leading tens of thousands of soldiers of darkness. The grand sight was something he had never even dreamed of.

“Lightning Shock!”
“Dark Sphere!”
“Dark Blast!”
The powerful magic of the black magicians exploded in succession.
Black flashes and currents flickered in the sky and on the ground, striking the Legion. Surprisingly, their attacks became useless right in front of them.
When the Legion put out its head, it sucked them all in like a lightning rod and then bounced them out.
-Magic below 5 circles doesn’t work on your head! Invincible head!
The Legion didn’t say anything.
I don’t know whether to like this or be sad. I feel refreshed every time those things hit my head with magic.
It feels like getting a scalp massage.
So I put my head out more. Do it some more.
The black magicians were feeling fear beyond astonishment.
“Th, th, th. It’s a monster. Who in the world is blocking our magic with their head! If his head is so hard, how great will his body be!”
“We have no hope. We must run away.”
“Wednesday ordered us to annihilate them. We must follow Wednesday’s orders!”
“Then you fight that monster. We will retreat first and then reorganize our ranks.”
“…….”
“Why don’t you answer?”
“Let’s go together.”
The black magicians began to retreat. But they didn’t know that their retreat route was blocked.
The enemy is not just one Legion.
The fearsome black magic of Lich Mamon exploded. The summoned demon cannibal plants broke through the floor without hesitation and went straight ahead. The cannibals that popped out of the opposite floor swallowed the black magicians in one bite.
“Kuaaaak! Wh, what is this?”
“I’ve seen it in the Demon World Encyclopedia. This is the Demon World Cannibal Plant Danokyeo. It’s over if you go into its mouth. It melts even steel. If you get caught, it’s over… Ugh!”
The stems of the demon plant wrapped around the ankles and waists of the black magicians and lifted them into the air.
The demon plant lightly lifted them up and swallowed them in one gulp.
The black magicians fired magic to avoid being dragged in, but it didn’t budge. Surprisingly, the demon plant had resistance to fire.
“Ugh, what the hell? Those monsters…….”
The youngest black magician who survived was terrified and backed away.
Thud-
He bumped into something.
Tudder, tudder, tudder-
The black magician’s jaw shook up and down. Sharp fangs collided regardless of his will. He couldn’t bring himself to look back.
He felt it instinctively.
Ah, I came into a tiger’s den.
Sssseuk-
A hand made of bone wrapped around the black magician’s chest. A cold chill approached his ear.
It’s a lich [undead magic caster].
The lich whispered to the black magician.
“Become a part of my magic.”
At the same time, the hand made of bone pulled the black magician inward. He couldn’t even scream. His body was sucked into the lich.
The black magician disappeared in an instant.
Red magic flashed and disappeared from the whole body of Lich Mamon, who swallowed the black magician whole.
Gulp.
The treasure hunters swallowed hard.
The opponents were ten black magicians. All of them were quite strong. It was difficult to guarantee victory if they fought directly with them. If they forced a conclusion, the black magicians would have been more dominant.
The lich named Mamon ate such an opponent in an instant. What is the true identity of the Legion?
To raise such a terrifying demon as a summon!
There is only one being who can raise such a monster as a summon… Just one person.
Demon King-
Yes, Legion is the Demon King.
The treasure hunters except for Tando trembled as they looked at the Legion. And they swore deeper loyalty. The Demon King is our lord.
-Ting, ting, loyalty to the Legion has increased. Divine power is strengthened. Self-healing ability has increased.
“Oh, oh, oh! How can this be!”
The treasure hunters spread out their palms and looked at them. A faint light was flowing out.
I can definitely feel it. They have become stronger.
Tando still didn’t know why her older sisters and brothers were acting like that. Was that armored man actually the Legion? Ever since she ate the crystal that man gave her, her older sisters and brothers had become strange.
Napalm grabbed Tando’s shoulder and said.
“You should convert too.”
“Convert to what?”
“Serve Legion.”
“…….”
Are you really crazy?
At that moment, Draizher, who had rescued Sharonz, arrived.
