Magic Is Learned For Nothing [EN]: Chapter 223

# 224

Across the Red River 2

All Kill stared blankly at the opponent in front of him.

He had a distant relative who had settled in the Dusseldorf Mountains. A guy named Cheo Majeo. He visited the tribe with his wife, saying he had recently gotten married.

He was about to faint from shock.

His wife was a bigger Orc than Cheo Majeo.

The muscles in her forearms looked tougher than Cheo Majeo’s.

Even though global love that transcends races is in vogue, he never imagined he would marry an Orc, who weren’t on good terms with their kind.

Well, since his own son married a vampire, he couldn’t really say anything.

He grabbed All Kill’s hand and said this.

“Brother, I’m going to give you a warning out of concern.”

“A warning?”

“Yes, if you ever see a short, fat human and a tall human who looks more savage than an Ogre… avoid them at all costs.”

“I am a descendant of a great bloodline. I can fight anyone.”

“It’s not a matter of strong or weak. Just avoid them. They’re more like… a natural disaster. You don’t fight a landslide when it happens, do you? There aren’t any Lycanthropes [werewolves] who swing axes at typhoons. So, keep that in mind and never get involved with them.”

“Natural disaster?”

“Yes, do you avoid poop because you’re scared of it? No, right? You avoid it because it’s dirty, right? Avoid them with that kind of mindset.”

“There are countless humans like that in the world, like stars in the sky. How am I supposed to tell them apart?”

“You’ll know as soon as you see them. The moment you see them! You’ll get the feeling, ‘Ah, let’s avoid them. Let’s not get involved.’ Both of them have very unique appearances. Oh, and it’ll be even easier to tell them apart because they’re always together like a needle and thread. But I’m telling you again, don’t get involved with them. I’m saying this not only for you but for our tribe.”

Why was that?

All Kill remembered what Cheo Majeo had said.

But the opponent didn’t resemble the ones Cheo Majeo had described. First of all, he didn’t see a fat, short man.

The man in front of him was incredibly strong.

But because his hair was braided on both sides, he looked more like a pervert than a savage.

All Kill didn’t think that Dreizer was the same man Cheo Majeo had mentioned.

“You’re quite impressive.”

Dreizer was emitting such tremendous fighting spirit and aura at the same time. He was certain that even among all the Lycanthropes, there wouldn’t be more than ten who could block that aura.

But… a servant?

“Who on earth is the one who employs someone as great as you as a servant?”

Dreizer looked at the spot where Legion had been.

He frowned. He could see Lucas. Where did that vampire suddenly come from? He could also see Lich Mamon. The two of them were on the master’s ship, doing something.

The master was in pain and then punched Lich Mamon in the face.

What on earth were they doing?

Dreizer turned his head. He didn’t want to say that Legion was his master right now.

Ah, this is so embarrassing.

“I’ll tell you later. Who my master is.”

“Probably a strong person above the 8th Circle, right?”

No.

“Or a Grand Master above 8 stars?”

That’s not it either.

“It must be someone who monopolizes beautiful women.”

Beautiful women? He’s trying to monopolize ugly women. This is a disaster.

“A great hero, then.”

What kind of delusion is he having?

Strictly speaking, he’s a great villain. So please don’t be interested. You’ll be disappointed when you find out.

“Shall we fight after dealing with that monster?”

“Hmph.”

Dreizer snorted and rushed towards the black slime.

All Kill also emitted his fighting spirit. The fighting spirit that arose from his entire body transformed into the form of a giant wolf.

That was All Kill’s aura, ‘Wolf’.

Dreizer and All Kill’s formidable auras stretched out towards the black slime.

Numerous tentacles blocking their path were all cut off. There seemed to be at least dozens, if not over a hundred. Nevertheless, they couldn’t stop the auras of the two absolute powerhouses.

“Hoo-ah-ah-ah!”

“Kiyah-ah-oht!”

Aura Frenzy and Aura Wolf plunged down from the sky like a bombing, crashing down on the black slime.

Kukukukukukung!

* * *

What is this crazy vampire doing! Ugh, cast a healing spell, at least! Don’t you know how to heal?

“Cough, cough, cough!”

Ugh, I’m going to die. Stop hitting my heart!

But Lich Mamon and Lucas, as if they couldn’t hear Legion’s screams, continued to take turns massaging his heart with all their might.

Cough, cough, cough! Stop it, you crazy bastards!

Ugh, aaaaaah! This is bad. I’m being consumed. My whole body is being consumed by this damn black mineral!

At that moment, a huge echo resounded in Legion’s head.

-Dare! Does a mere human dare to swallow me?

What? Whoa! Who are you all of a sudden?

-Insignificant human, how dare you speak to me!

Hey, is that Mark? Do you think I won’t recognize you just because you’re deepening your voice? I’m in a lot of pain right now. Please, I’m begging you, let’s just be quiet. Otherwise, I’ll find a Red Zircon and really materialize you.

-Mark! What are you talking about right now!

He deepened his voice even more. His mood worsened even further.

-Anyway, you were lucky enough to bring my heart into your heart. I have no choice but to take your weak body. Know it as an honor. You’ve come to serve me, even if your soul will disappear.

The opponent, who was emitting a tremendously ferocious voice, began to infect Legion’s body.

Ah, this bastard is just like Mark. Who the hell are you!

-I am the Left Ventricle!

Choi Soon-sil?

-Left Ventricle! I will take your body.

Dark magic revolved along the blood vessels.

His mind became faint. He tried his best to block the guy’s dark magic, but Legion’s body was helplessly collapsing in the face of the pain and powerful magic.

After learning magic, this was the first time he had encountered such strong power.

At this rate, he was really going to die.

It was then.

Unexpectedly, letters appeared in his retina.

-This is a rare mineral. It is not in the data. Do you want to disassemble it?

Legion shouted.

Disassemble it quickly! Before I die!

A guy he didn’t even know was rummaging through his brain. At that moment, another voice rang in his head.

-Get out of my house!

Mark shouted.

-What, what is it! Why is there another soul here!

The bastard shouted in surprise, and Mark started cursing.

-You son of a bitch, I’m going to open your head and smear it with cement. What are you doing, stepping into someone else’s house? Get out right now while I’m being nice. Before I grind your balls on the asphalt.

…

Ah, damn it. Listening to Mark’s curses made his stomach churn. Without realizing it, he imagined his balls being ground on something asphalt. Horrible.

Still, the opponent stubbornly persevered and began to use magic against Mark this time.

Yes! If Mark loses, I’m free!

But with this bastard’s power, he too was gradually being pushed back.

What happens if we both get kicked out? Will I meet this bastard Mark as a soul? Come to think of it, that might not be so bad.

But the problem is, my body hurts too much.

Ugh!

It’s so strong. The magic he had gathered throughout his life was being crushed by this guy’s power, shattering like shards of glass.

The remaining magic took a last stand in the dantian [energy center] area, waiting for the black magic.

Legion’s magic shouted.

“If you are prepared to die, you will live! If you seek to live, you will die!”

“I still have twelve magic left.”

But-

The black magic overwhelmed Legion’s magic, which was making a desperate stand, with overwhelming power. They crushed Legion’s magic, which had taken a last stand.

Now all that remained was Legion’s last bastion. Only the dantian.

Aaaaaah!

Legion, clenching his teeth tightly, let out a long sigh.

He’s only nineteen years old. What did he do so wrong that he had to die on this street?

-Get out, you bitch!

-You bastard! Can’t you get out right now!

Those things were both yelling in his head, making him even more confused.

The black magic was about to attack Legion’s dantian when-

-Scanning of unidentified mineral completed.

Oh? Really?

He was about to leave a will. It just so happened that the analysis of what the black mineral was had been completed.

He lived.

Legion breathed a sigh of relief.

Okay, what is the identity of the black mineral?

-Scanning is complete, but confirmation is not possible.

……?

It felt like he had heard the saying, ‘I drank alcohol, but I didn’t drive the carriage’ [meaning: I did something without taking responsibility for the consequences].

What on earth does that mean?

-It is a substance I have never seen before. Danger level is 80 percent. You could die if you’re not careful.

So what do you want me to do?

Disassemble it or not?

-I cannot choose. I only provide truthful information.

Yeah, the truth that I’m screwed.

* * *

The east does not dawn.

It had been a long time since the sun should have risen, but the surroundings were still filled with darkness.

Krrrrrrng!

The black thoughts that filled the sky struck down thunder and lightning everywhere. The surroundings were in utter chaos from the continuous lightning strikes.

The vampires and Lycanthropes who were directly hit by the lightning melted without even screaming.

The sense of fear was so great that even the war was temporarily suspended.

The aura of death was raging from all directions. The Lycanthropes and vampires wanted to stop fighting and get out of there.

But it was not easy to back out.

Above all, the huge dark slime approaching from behind was the problem. Before they knew it, the fight between the two races had stopped.

“Aaaaaah! What on earth is going on? What’s happening to us right now?”

“We have to run away!”

“No! We can’t escape.”

“I’ll stop it! You go and save the children, at least!”

All sorts of screams echoed inside Blood City.

It was the same for Legion, who was in danger. Whether it was the Left Ventricle or Choi Soon-sil [a reference to a South Korean political scandal], the ego of the mineral kept digging into his mind.

His consciousness was scattering into whiteness.

It was a terrible pain, as if his soul was being annihilated.

Mark was also yelling something in a voice full of panic, but even his voice was fading away.

Legion was vaguely aware.

This is an act of erasing his existence. From the past to the future. It is a process of taking away his entire past life and afterlife.

No!

He couldn’t do that. He hadn’t even gotten married yet! He couldn’t die a virgin like this!

Legion shouted strongly in his fading consciousness.

Disassemble it!

-I will disassemble it.

He thought he heard the Left Ventricle scream for a moment.

No, he definitely heard it.

“W, what is this? What on earth is going on? No! No way!”

The evil magic of the guy burst out from the dantian.

The unimaginable magic swirled around the dantian and began to destroy the wall of its existence itself. Legion’s consciousness dove to an unfathomable abyss.

The deeper his fall, the deeper the surging magic.

Legion clenched his teeth tightly and endured in order not to lose consciousness.

The power, several times, several tens of times the magic he had, was stirring his whole body. At the same time, the voice of the Left Ventricle was no longer heard.

You bastard, is this the end?

So what happens now? Does this power become mine?

One letter appeared in Legion’s retina.

-You will be promoted to Dark Lord.
