Magic Is Learned For Nothing [EN]: Chapter 259

Like a Villain 1

Legion obtained a weapon worth a whopping 5,000 gold for free.

“Ah, I feel like I’m losing out… but I’ll concede this much.”

Connelly gritted his teeth, took the money from Barrymore’s inner pocket, and paid the price.

“And that broken part over there, he did that too. So, please take care of it.”

Connelly sighed as he looked at the collapsed wall, then took money from Barrymore’s inner pocket again to pay for the repairs.

“Then, I’ll see you again when I have the chance, customer.”

Legion bowed deeply and turned around. Only when they were out of sight did he clench his fist.

“Yes!”

It was an iron sword of surprisingly similar shape.

The difference was the handle. The newly purchased iron sword had a handle guard.

Moreover, the new iron sword was a magic sword.

It had a magic enchantment that restored health once every 10 minutes at the start of combat. His stamina consumption was already enormous because of the iron armor, so this magic was like welcome rain during a drought.

“I want to use this quickly.”

Legion swung the double iron swords, picking fights with thugs on the street for no reason. The thugs’ hideout was turned into a wasteland.

Legion repeatedly exclaimed, ‘Oh, oh, this is amazing!’

Shuttle, watching Legion, couldn’t help but be astonished.

He was an outcast.

Even after becoming an adult, he hadn’t lived a particularly bright life. In fact, he hadn’t said it out loud, but he thought of himself as quite a bad guy.

But the reason he lived so confidently!

It was all society’s fault! Society made me this way! Ah, isn’t it amazing how much I’ve grown in the midst of all this! That’s how he was able to stand firm.

Because he was confident.

But now he knew.

He wasn’t even in the ranks of the bad guys. He was just ordinary.

The real bad guy is that bastard.

No, it’s not just a bad guy level, but I think he is the source of all evil in the world.

Legion!

“I will obliterate you for the sake of humanity!”

“What?”

Legion tilted his head, looking at Shuttle.

“Obliterate me?”

“M, me?”

“You just said it. You said you would obliterate me for the sake of humanity.”

“N, no, not the president. I said I would obliterate the guys who are messing up the kingdom.”

“Hmm-! Really? It definitely sounded like you were talking to me.”

“It’s true.”

Cold sweat streamed down Shuttle’s spine.

He almost got killed because his thoughts suddenly popped out of his mouth. I’m crazy. I’m crazy.

The opponent is a monster.

To assassinate him, you have to keep a low profile so he doesn’t notice.

That’s when it happened.

“Die!”

The squad leader, who was escorting Sarah Connor, barely survived and attacked Legion.

Shuttle quickly twisted his body.

It was a truly lightning-like surprise attack. This might inflict a major blow on Legion.

So he subtly moved out of the way.

However, the escort knight had exhausted his strength.

He collapsed without being able to extend the last mana blade he had launched to the end. The last mana blade containing his life lost its target and struck Shuttle, who had stepped aside.

Kwakwakwakwang!

What a damn…

“Kuaaaak!”

Shuttle screamed, struck by the mana blade without any defense.

Damn it! I didn’t even deploy a barrier!

Shuttle trembled as he collapsed.

Legion gently hugged such a Shuttle. Tears seemed to be about to fall from his bloodshot red eyes.

“You little rascal, I’m touched. You are a true loyalist.”

“Yes?”

“I’ll ask you again next time.”

“Yes?”

“If you die for me, I’ll take care of your pension.”

“Yes?”

“If I get promoted to Count, I’ll have you buried in the National Cemetery.”

“Yes?”

Shuttle’s future was decided.

National Cemetery.

Sarah Connor and Raiden were inside Marquis Porse’s mansion.

As befitting the Marquis’s mansion, it boasted an enormous scale. The building was one, but the size of the mansion was so large that it could be compared to a palace.

The guarding knights were also well-trained.

That crazy ironclad warrior wouldn’t be able to come here. But the surveillance was more severe than I thought.

The butler who guided them was a man with eyes colder than a snake. He said to Raiden and Sarah Connor.

“His Excellency is out.”

“We have an appointment.”

“Not today. He will be back tomorrow.”

“Where did he go?”

“It’s a secret for official business. I am sorry that I cannot tell you.”

The butler spoke in a tone that was not at all apologetic.

“You don’t have to be sorry.”

“Then please follow me. I will guide you to a room where you can rest comfortably for a day.”

The butler guided them to separate rooms.

The rooms were luxurious, but they could not go outside. All they could do was look out the barred windows.

I don’t know why they have to be treated like this. There’s no need to even imprison them like this…

Could it be because of the ‘Skin Powder’?

The Skin Powder came to Raiden’s mind. I think it’s possible enough.

“We will keep the Skin Powder.”

The butler requested quietly.

Sarah Connor replied that she would hand it over directly and receive the money.

“Let’s do that.”

The butler did not force it. Instead, he was subtly putting unspoken pressure on them, just like now.

“Is she doing well?”

Raiden muttered, watching the trainee knights training in the training hall.

It’s over now.

No one will be targeting Sarah Connor anymore. Because this is Marquis Porse’s family.

He’ll be done as soon as he gets the money. He will never meet Sarah Connor again.

Even so…

He can’t erase that vivid dream from his head. No matter how he thinks about it, it doesn’t make sense.

Somehow, she seemed to be at the center of that dream.

Legion, Dreiser, and Shuttle were in front of Marquis Porse’s mansion.

“Why is he like this?”

Dreiser pointed to Shuttle. His mouth was open and he looked half out of his mind.

“He’s happy.”

“Happy? He looks like he’s out of his mind to me.”

“Really. He risked his life for me earlier in the day. Of course, it was an act to stand out in order to become a full-time employee… but I was a little surprised. He’s quite brave.”

“Really?”

Dreiser looked at Shuttle with suspicious eyes.

No matter how he looked at it, Shuttle’s expression seemed to have given up on life halfway.

Dreiser soon gave up thinking.

Has there ever been a normal person involved with the owner? Let’s just live as it flows. If you use your head for no reason, your lifespan will only be shortened.

“Where have you been?”

“I had something to do.”

“You met a woman.”

“Not a woman.”

“Not a woman, but you stayed up all night?”

“Really, it’s not.”

“Hmm-! Suspicious. Something’s wrong…”

“I told you it’s not a woman, so stop it!”

“Okay. I got it. What a temper.”

Legion pouted his lips. Dreiser was the only servant who treated his master like that. A savage bastard. He decided to shut his mouth because he thought he would punch him if he asked more.

“But what are you going to do here? Do you know where this is?”

“It’s Marquis Porse’s mansion.”

“Hmm, you know.”

Dreiser continued, as if surprised.

“Do you know that Porse is quite a trash? He pretends to be a gentleman on the outside, but his personality is terrible. I don’t think it’s a good idea to get involved with him. Are you thinking of doing politics or something?”

“No.”

“Then I think it’s better not to see him if possible. Let’s just go.”

Dreiser had an unusually displeased expression.

“Are you scared?”

“What! Who’s scared! I’m just saying that because the owner doesn’t seem to know.”

“You’re scared. You scaredy-cat. What a waste of a hairstyle.”

“I’m not! Why would I be scared of Porse or anything! I’m not scared!”

“Ah, I know. You scaredy-cat. I know you’re scared, but I’m sorry, I can’t go back. The ‘Skin Powder’ is caught here.”

“Here?”

“Yeah, Sarah Connor or whatever is hiding here. This makes it certain, right? The person who is after the ‘Skin Powder’ is Marquis Porse. Somehow, I keep running into that guy. If you’re scared, should I be a little nervous too?”

Dreiser snorted.

The owner is misunderstanding something. He’s causing such a fuss that all sides are enemies. Dreiser thought that if he continued like this, he might end up fighting the entire kingdom in 10 years.

A fight with the entire kingdom.

‘That’s good for me,’ Dreiser thought.

“So what are you going to do? Are you going to go in politely and ask them to hand over Sarah Connor?”

“Am I crazy? To a thief who stole my things.”

“Then?”

“First, put on a mask.”

“A mask?”

“Yeah, I’m going to find my stuff.”

“S, surely?”

“What do you mean surely? Isn’t this our style originally?”

Legion looked at the three ghost horses that had been dragged along. The ghost horse whose back had broken because it couldn’t withstand Legion’s weight had been restored to its original state.

A sturdy support was placed on its back to prevent it from breaking again.

-Puruuruk!

The three ghost horses pawed the ground and neighed.

Combat power increases rapidly. They feel the owners’ fighting spirit and react.

“Hey, Shuttle. You better put on a mask too. Don’t just stand there blankly.”

Legion said to Shuttle.

His tone had become much softer since he had saved his life. However, he did not immediately convert him to a full-time employee.

He plans to fill the 3 months that he can give 3 gold per month.

“Yes? M, mask? H, here… the Marquis? Surely you’re not thinking of attacking the Marquis in the capital?”

Shuttle’s lost mind returned.

He immediately noticed the situation and trembled. He is a 6-circle mage, but if he attacks this place, he will not be able to get out alive.

Marquis Porse.

A family so powerful in the kingdom that it is said that even flying birds fall. Naturally, it is full of terrifyingly strong people.

Maybe… Shuttle thought that the three of them would probably be captured without even passing through the main gate.

“Shut up and drive the carriage. Dreiser and I will take care of the rest.”

Shuttle sat in the driver’s seat with a tearful face.

He deeply pressed down on the mask that Legion had prepared in advance. He wondered where he had gotten such a mask.

All three had masks with skulls drawn on them.

It was obvious that they were terrorists. Legion was increasingly acting like a villain.

Of course, he still thought he was a good person, not a villain.

Shuttle’s thoughts did not last long.

Legion, wearing a skull mask, manifested attack magic.

“Call the Patriot!”

Hundreds of fire orbs floated in the air.

It flew quickly towards the main gate with a sculpture symbolizing Marquis Porse.

Kwakwakwakwakwang!

5 meters high, 20 meters wide.

The white walls were quite famous even in the capital, Poman.

Such a beautiful main gate was hit by Legion’s ancient magic and disappeared without a trace.

If artists saw it, they would stick out their tongues and commit suicide.

In particular, the eagle sculpture, which was known to have been carved 1,000 years ago, was completely shattered.

Ah, what a sad thing!

All of them were swept away by the explosion.

“Run! Apprentice!”

Legion shouted-

Shuttle pulled the reins with tears in his eyes.

I have to run away! I have to run away. If I break into the Marquis like this, I’ll die!

That’s what his heart shouted, but there was nothing he could do.

Dudududududu-

The carriage led by three ghost horses crossed the collapsed main gate at a tremendous speed.

The soldiers guarding the main gate were also stunned.

“What crazy bastard… is doing this in the capital…”

“This is the Marquis. Attacking the Marquis is no different from declaring war on the Duke!”

That’s right.

Marquis Porse is the Duke’s closest aide.

Targeting him is the same as targeting the Duke.

The soldiers accepted this as the will of the royalist faction to not hesitate to start a civil war.

“Don Quixote will trample you!”

“Woo-ha-ha! Jack Nietzsche is here!”

Legion and Dreiser both shouted excitedly as they followed behind.

“Wow! Don Quixote has joined hands with the King! The King has declared civil war! Let everyone know this fact!”

“I, Don Quixote, will kill all of you who dare to attack me! If you want to live, kneel down and beg!”

No one wants it.

An unexpected, huge flame suddenly began to burn by Legion.
