Magic is Learned for Nothing – Episode 232

# 232

Even Wyverns Have Rights 1

Ten wyverns.

Humans refer to them with epithets like aerial demons, sky monsters, and predators of the heavens.

Though humans dominate the continent, some races remain objects of fear, and wyverns are particularly notable among them.

Powerful flying monsters!

Ordinary people couldn’t capture them even if they were resurrected.

With tough hides that arrows can barely scratch, powerful fire attacks, and high intelligence, they simply fly away into the sky if a situation becomes too difficult.

That’s why humans invented large-caliber ballistae [giant crossbows], but that also presented a problem.

The soldiers who could operate large-caliber ballistae were limited. Firing arrows over two meters long required skilled elite soldiers.

It was rare to find a unit operating large-caliber ballistae in ordinary territories.

Consequently, a single wyvern appearance could devastate an entire territory.

Unless they were knights or mages of considerable skill, everyone was merely prey for these creatures.

Among them, the wyverns that attacked Legion and Drais were from the depths of the Dusselruf Mountains, a haven for monsters.

These were the strongest of the strong, fighting giant monsters and competing for food every day! Just last week, hundreds of hippos invaded and caused a major battle.

Those bastards.

Two weeks ago, hundreds of gargoyles also invaded.

The wyverns barely managed to repel them and defend their habitat. In the process, over ten wyvern warriors lost their lives.

They are the Flame Wyvern tribe.

They can unleash flames equivalent to a 4th circle spell from their mouths, with a kill radius of a whopping 50 meters.

Such an attack…….

Was shattered by a single sword strike. The determination to taste human flesh… vanished with that one blow.

“Lie flat, you bastards. Don’t move! Move and your tailbone will break.”

Legion mercilessly struck the buttocks of OguOgu, the squad leader of the 1st unit, who was in a push-up position, with his iron sword.

-Kuaaaaak!

OguOgu’s back bent almost in half.

OguOgu is over 5 meters tall. With both wings fully spread, it reaches 22 meters.

Such a massive creature was being beaten mercilessly by Legion.

The other nine wyverns were in the same situation.

They were all lined up, heads bowed, watching cautiously. Especially the two-braided man with an axe on his shoulder in front of them was terrifyingly scary.

He’s scarier because of his hairstyle.

Why did he do that?

Is he a serial killer who kills wyverns with a smile?

It was a monster so powerful that they mistook him for a dragon in polymorph [shape-shifting form].

They are among the elite of the Flame Wyvern tribe.

The wyvern tribes call them the Sky Knights. The Sky Knights are numbered from 1 to 10, meaning the wyverns have 100 attack units. It was a unit made up of the most powerful wyverns.

They are the 2nd overall in the Sky Knights.

That means they are the second strongest in the entire Sky Knights. As such, the wyverns belonging to the 2nd Sky Knights had a strong sense of pride.

But today, that pride was shattered.

They realized that there are some bastards in the world you should never mess with.

If you’re strong! You should show generosity befitting a strong person.

These guys had none of that.

They just beat you up without warning.

They recalled the battle just now. It couldn’t even be called a battle.

They plunged from the sky like thunder. This is the most thrilling moment.

The opponent won’t even notice us.

They will piss their pants when they see us flying right in front of them. All races have done so until now. Even the ogres, who are said to be the strongest on the ground, can be easily captured and used as food by three wyverns.

But they don’t eat ogres.

Because they are tough and tasteless.

The most delicious race besides humans is the lizardmen. They look hideous on the outside, but when you peel off their skin, their flesh is tender. When grilled, it tastes better than beef steak.

How delicious would humans be?

Once, a marine wyvern who was active in the sea came to visit. They said that the most delicious thing was not humans but king crabs. If you peel off the shell, an unimaginable delicacy awaits.

Ah! I want to eat it.

Thinking about that, they thought about the future. They would finally get to eat those delicacies! But the moment they pounced, dozens of bundles of auras flew towards them.

-Mayday! Mayday! It’s aura! They are not ordinary people.

EguEgu, who was the squad leader of the 5th unit, shouted urgently.

-Scatter!

OguOgu shouted.

-Ugh! How can this be?

Surprisingly, that dirty-looking bastard was floating in the sky.

Every time he swung his fist-

The wyverns fell to the ground like fallen leaves.

One friend was caught by him and almost had his wings torn off like a dragonfly. If he hadn’t quickly shouted, ‘Please save me,’ sensing the danger, he would have definitely had his wings torn off.

These terrifying things!

Thus, the wyverns received a miserable report card of total annihilation.

And then began the terrifying experience of hell.

-Kueeeok!

He had only been hit three times.

OguOgu felt like his back was breaking.

What is that iron sword made of that it can deliver such a terrible impact?

OguOgu threw away his dignity as a squadron leader, covered his buttocks, and rolled around on the floor.

Finally, unbelievable words flowed from the mouth of the dignified leader.

-Mister, please save me.

Legion’s eyebrows twitched inside his helmet.

This bastard is calling a fresh young man who isn’t even twenty years old ‘mister’.

Legion beat OguOgu severely.

Paak! Paaaak! Paaaak!

OguOgu screamed and shouted for help several times. But the devil never stopped.

This was fear, despair.

They mistook the devils they could never overcome as food.

They knelt before fear.

They covered their ears with three evolved fingers from their huge wings.

They didn’t want to hear the screams of squad leader OguOgu anymore.

* * *

Weeeeee!

Legion was sitting on the head of squad leader OguOgu.

They were flying in the sky now. It was the first time Legion had ever climbed so high.

The Dusselruf Mountains, which had seemed so vast, looked small.

It felt like he could grab them with one hand. His territory could also be seen in the distance. It looks very small.

“Wow.”

Legion exclaimed without realizing it.

-We’ve climbed too high.

OguOgu bowed as best as he could.

He is someone I cannot handle. Frankly speaking, it seemed like no one in this world could beat those two humans.

No… maybe if it’s him.

If it were NubyeoNubyeo, the strongest warrior of the Wyvern tribe, the Sky Knight Immortal, he might be able to defeat these monster-like beings.

Isn’t he the strongest in Wyvern history? Some wyverns even referred to him as a wyvern who could fight a dragon.

Yes, he will be able to subdue these guys.

Let’s just endure until then.

Let’s take these guys to NubyeoNubyeo, the Sky Knight Immortal.

OguOgu made up his mind. Until then, he would endure any humiliation.

-Ahem.

When Legion suddenly straddled his neck, OguOgu heard a cracking sound. He thought, ‘Humans are nothing,’ but… his neck sank down. It was so heavy that he thought his neck was broken.

Why is he so heavy?

“Straighten up. Straighten up.”

Legion tapped OguOgu’s butt with his iron sword.

His pride was a little hurt, but… OguOgu quickly nodded with a smiling face. He had messed around a little while ago and got hit ten more times for no reason.

These devilish bastards don’t know what a joke is.

From now on, I’ll just rub my hands together and answer whatever this guy says, OguOgu vowed.

The devil said.

“Can you go higher?”

-How far are we talking about?

“Just up into the sky? If we go higher, will we really find the divine realm?”

-No, sir. They say there’s just a pitch-black place with no air.

“A pitch-black place with no air?”

-That’s what I heard.

“Who says that?”

-I also heard it through oral tradition. Above the sky is darkness. There is no air and no temperature. You just die.

“How do you know that?”

-There was an expedition among our ancestors who tried to go to the divine realm. The advance team all froze to death in the sky, and the youngest saw it. Since then, it has been passed down that if you come to a place where the air becomes thin and the temperature drops rapidly, you should never cross that line.

“Then there is no divine realm?”

-I think the divine realm probably means a different dimension.

“A different dimension?”

-Yes, like… the spirit realm, maybe it’s not above the sky but in a different dimension… that’s what our tribe thinks.

“Hoo.”

Legion learned an unexpected fact.

He had always thought that the divine realm was above the sky and hell was deep underground.

The demon realm would be somewhere next to hell.

But according to OguOgu, the middle realm was a completely independent space.

I have to check it out.

“Go to the edge.”

-When you say the edge?

“To where that ancestor went.”

-It’s very dangerous.

“Do you want to get hit and go, or just go?”

-Of course, I’ll just go.

With tears in his eyes, OguOgu flapped his wings and flew to the end of the sky.

The surroundings gradually darkened.

As OguOgu said, the temperature dropped rapidly. It was a different kind of cold than the extreme sea.

It was hard to breathe, and his head was spinning.

“What are you doing? This is it.”

Drais, riding on EguEgu’s neck, chased after him and asked.

He seemed excited too. He had been shouting “Giddy up! Giddy up!” since earlier.

It was the first time Legion and Drais had ever flown in the sky.

A feeling beyond imagination! The day he first used aura, the day he had a new realization, the day he first held hands with his first love, he felt better than any of those times.

Even famous mages probably hadn’t flown up to this place.

If they had, it would have been written in the mages’ books or ancient texts about what the middle realm looked like.

“This is the middle realm……”

Drais, standing next to Legion, couldn’t speak.

What they were looking at side by side was a giant planet. Inside, they could see a vast continent stretching endlessly. The Dusselruf Mountains, which could be called their home, were hidden when they spread out their palms.

“Awesome.”

The stars, which he had vaguely thought were beautiful, looked so close that he felt like he could grab them at any moment. In particular, he clearly saw what the three moons, which he felt were the same as gods, looked like.

The three moons are also another world.

He was so mesmerized that he couldn’t express it in words anymore.

“It’s been quite a while since we left our territory, right?”

Legion asked Drais.

“That’s right. It’s been quite a while. It’s a territory without a lord, but it’ll be fine. There are quite a few smart kids.”

“I guess so. Shall we go there once?”

“Where? To the territory?”

“Yeah.”

“Hehe, let’s do that. The kids will be surprised.”

Drais also had an amused expression. The personal servants he called kids. They are now powerhouses who have reached the 5th circle, 5-star level.

If someone saw twenty-five magic warriors, they would be horrified. If they went to an ordinary territory, they would have the skills to receive the title of baron.

Because someone with 5th circle magic and 5-star skills is a valuable asset that cannot be easily found.

Nevertheless, they were satisfied as servants and no one left.

Of course, according to the contract, they have to work for more than 20 years before they can leave.

“Let’s go.”

Legion kicked OguOgu’s neck hard with his ankle, excited.

OguOgu felt the shock of his neck breaking and fainted.
