Magic Is Learned For Nothing [EN]: Chapter 256

Don Quixote’s Legend 2

The Legion is strong.

It would be difficult to find a 7th Circle mage or a 7-Star knight even throughout the entire history of the kingdom.

Moreover, he could even use ancient magic.

Is there anyone in the current kingdom who can face him alone?

At least an 8th Circle mage or an 8-Star knight would be needed to objectively stand against him.

But how many 8th Circle mages or 8-Star knights exist among humans?

Excluding Baserabap, there are only two mages.

There aren’t even any 8-Star knights in the statistics. If you look hard enough, you might find someone hiding somewhere, claiming they don’t need wealth or fame because they’ve already made a name for themselves, but they won’t come forward.

They probably already own several buildings in the capital or major locations, living comfortably off the rent.

Of course—

It was impossible to stop the Legion with the remaining three escort knights.

“Wh-what is that guy?”

“Should we run, Captain?”

The escort knights asked their captain.

Their mana blades were all deflected. Such powerful defense was something they had never experienced before.

Was it not simply armor made of steel?

No matter how many times they tried, it was the same. The armor was nullifying their attacks themselves.

The escort knights were gradually pushed back.

The Legion stretched out his index and middle fingers and shouted.

“Call the Patriot!”

Instantly, the magic that had begun to condense in the Legion’s left hand, smaller than a bean, was fired forward.

Perfect ancient magic!

Each one has more destructive power than a 4th Circle attack spell.

More than a hundred of them were fired in an instant.

The magic orbs spread in all directions, flying quickly towards the escort knights.

“Wh-what is that? Was he a mage?”

“I don’t know! Dammit! Raise the mana defense! Block them all!”

The escort knights swung their swords with all their might.

The magic orbs that hit their swords exploded in mid-air. The powerful explosion shattered the escort knights’ mana defenses in an instant.

Kukukukukung!

There were so many magic orbs that they couldn’t block them all.

Kukukukukukung!

The explosions continued non-stop, and the shockwaves bounced in all directions.

The second-floor ceiling of the inn was swept away by the explosion and flew off all at once. The sky full of stars was revealed.

The escort knights didn’t have the *yoyu* [余裕, Japanese for leeway or余裕] to pay attention to that.

“Not bad? You blocked well. I’ll give you a compliment. Shall we try again? Call the Patriot, double speed.”

He said double speed, but—

It was at least three times more magic orbs. Hundreds of magic orbs floated above the Legion’s head.

The Legion clenched his fist tightly.

It stretched out in all directions with a flashing light.

Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwang!

The escort knights blocked the mana orbs with all their might, but it was useless.

They were outnumbered!

In the blink of an eye, two escort knights were caught in the mana orbs. Dozens of mana orbs stuck to the knights’ bodies…

And exploded!

Kwakwakwakwakwakwang!

The knights collapsed, spitting blood from all over their bodies.

The remaining captain shouted towards Sara Connor, who was not coming out of the room.

“Run! Sara Connor! Run anywhere! We can’t stop that monster!”

The captain, who had always had a solemn expression, no longer had any composure left.

How could such a being exist!

No attack or defense worked. The captain despaired at the fact that there could be such a difference in skill, and he was frustrated with himself.

The opponent was like a giant wall.

The absolute pressure was something he had never felt before in his life.

‘If it were Marquis Forsethe!’

He would avenge them.

“I’ll take one of your arms!”

The captain swung his mana blade with all his might. The sword was futilely caught in the Legion’s left hand.

“Lightning Strike!”

The Legion calmly recited the name of the skill.

Lightning struck from the clear sky through the open ceiling, and the lightning accurately pierced the Legion’s head.

Ugyagyagyagyagya!

Fortunately, the captain, who was connected to the sword through his iron armor, was also caught in the lightning strike.

“Kuaaaak!”

The two could see each other’s skeletal structure at the same time.

The energy of the lightning strike disappeared only after the captain’s magic sword broke. The captain, sprawled on the floor, gave a hollow laugh as he looked at the broken blade.

“I haven’t neglected training for a single day since I held a sword…”

“Then it must be a difference in talent.”

The Legion replied calmly.

He didn’t bother to explain about surviving after dying about 3,000 times, marching through the mountains with a 500-kilogram military pack, being chased by ogres for training, or suffering from all sorts of misfortunes and curses.

Above all, he didn’t mention the fact that he was suffering the pain of childbirth every day.

Just… you have no talent.

That one word plunged the captain further into despair.

The captain dropped his sword. The ironclad warrior was right. He had no talent. What have I been working so hard for all my life?

He felt like his entire life was being denied.

The captain stared straight at the giant iron sword flying towards him. It was to engrave the image of the one who defeated him in his mind.

He raised his hand and gave the Legion a thumbs up.

“You’re the best. Don Quixote.”

Bbaaaaaak!

The iron sword forcibly turned off the captain’s consciousness.

The captain flew through the half-collapsed wall of the second floor and fell onto the second floor of the building on the opposite side. The power was truly enormous.

“Hoo.”

The Legion, taking a short breath, looked at the room the captain had pointed to.

Now it’s the end.

Sara Connor is there.

All I need to do is get the ‘Skin Powder’ she has.

With that, I’ll take off the iron armor. I’ll make all the women in the world mine with my handsome looks!

“Kuhahahaha!”

The devil’s laughter echoed over the capital city of Poman.

* * *

Mizsett looked at her lying comrades with a serious expression.

Haimo, Buffalo, Hailer, Steel.

When they woke up, she couldn’t hide her tears of joy because it had been so long since she had seen them.

When they came out of the water boiled with mandragora [a plant believed to have magical properties], Mizsett hugged them, shedding tears without caring about getting wet.

But—

Their reaction after waking up was strange.

Haimo suddenly touched her chest.

Surprised, Mizsett slammed Raiden [her weapon, likely magical in nature] into Haimo’s head. He was almost electrocuted to death.

The problem was that the other comrades were the same.

“Mom, why did you hit me?”

So she called a priest and asked why they were like this.

“They suffered severe head trauma.”

“Trauma?”

“Yes, it seems someone intentionally inflicted a head injury on them when they were waking up. Since they were defenseless, all the shock went to their brains. Who on earth would do such a vicious thing…”

The priest shuddered as if he was getting goosebumps.

Mizsett and Bacon had argued, causing them to get hurt in the head.

But Mizsett was completely unaware of that fact. She only wondered if some force was targeting her.

“Then do they have to stay like this?”

“I’m not sure. I don’t know if it’s a temporary infantile state or if their intelligence has deteriorated and they’ve become like this. We’ll have to watch them a little longer.”

“Hoo, I understand. Thank you for your hard work.”

Mizsett sighed deeply. The sighs of a maiden who hasn’t even gotten married yet are increasing, and what she’s losing is her youth.

She should be devoting herself to magic with the inflated dream of reaching the 8th Circle someday.

“Mommy, give me milk!”

Steel once again pouted and rushed towards Mizsett’s chest.

She blew him away with Raiden as well. Steel’s intelligence became -1, but she would rather kill him than give that bastard milk.

“No! That milk is mine!”

“No! I’m going to have it!”

Buffalo and Hailer also aimed for Mizsett’s milk.

Mizsett tensed up and prepared an attack spell.

These bastards, are they doing this on purpose? As their minds become younger, they turn into incredibly dangerous males.

‘You perverts! I’m going to kill you!’

Electric magic began to form and flow in front of Mizsett.

* * *

Kukukung!

The entire inn building shook. It was in such a serious state that it might collapse at any moment.

Sara Connor had finished preparing to escape.

An orb with Hastings magic, a ring that could realize Blink magic [short-range teleportation], circle lenses that blurred the enemy’s vision for 10 seconds, and scrolls with some attack magic added.

It’s worth over thousands of gold in market price.

Even so, she couldn’t rest assured.

The screams of the escort knights, who were much stronger than her, were heard one after another. That meant the opponent was also strong.

Even so, Sara Connor remained calm. There was a reason she was called the Great Thief.

Unlike her innocent appearance, she was the possessor of amazing skills.

“Blink!”

Sara Connor disappeared and immediately jumped out of the window.

As she jumped—

Kwakwakwakwang!

The room she had been standing in just a second ago was caught in an explosion.

Sara Connor’s eyes widened. A giant ironclad warrior jumped into the exploding room. The flames did not cause any damage to the ironclad warrior.

The most surprising thing was—

She was casting Blink magic.

She was hardly noticeable to other people. There was spatial distortion, but the Blink magic cast at night was almost perfect.

But the ironclad warrior was staring straight at her.

Looking at Sara Connor with eyes that said, I know you’re there.

The eyes of the two met.

Sara Connor instinctively realized that the opponent was a monster beyond imagination.

‘If I get caught, I’ll die!’ Sara Connor thought.

The Legion unleashed a capture spell towards her. A large spider web suddenly appeared in the dark space, binding Sara Connor’s body. The more she moved, the more the sticky spider web would tighten around her.

The Legion smiled brightly like a devil.

I caught you!

But the situation did not go as he intended.

A silver-haired man suddenly jumped in and cut off all of the Legion’s spider webs. And he picked up the falling Sara Connor and immediately fled.

“No one escapes from my grasp!”

The Legion shouted.

Hearing his shout, Shuttle scratched his forehead. Somehow, the boss is saying typical villain lines.

It seemed like he was becoming more and more of a villain as time went on.

Well, what does it matter if the boss is a villain or not?

He’s going to die by my hand anyway.

“Kekeke.”

Shuttle also laughed like a villain.

The wind pressure emitted from the Legion’s iron sword stretched out.

The power is weak, but the accuracy is high. It will be able to catch the ankles of those lovers who stole my things and ran away.

Just wait until I catch you! You bastards!

The silver-haired man who caught Sara Connor twisted his upper body and swung his sword.

“Kwangsalpo!”

Surprisingly, the magic that stretched out from the tip of the sword stretched out towards the Legion.

Kwajijijijik!

The Legion’s wind pressure disappeared in an instant. At the same time, the magic that pierced through the wind pressure began to fly towards the Legion.

The Legion hurriedly raised his magic power and unleashed a defense spell.

“Iron Wall Defense!”

“Iron Defense!”

“Stone Defense!”

“Young Bride Shield!”

Instantly, four barriers were unfolded. It was an amazing magic casting skill that was incomparable to what it used to be.

Of course, he thought that the opponent’s mana blade would not be able to penetrate his barrier.

But what!

Kwajijijijik!

The barriers were shattered all at once.

It wasn’t a mana blade.

What he had unleashed in an instant was clearly Aura [a manifestation of inner power].
