Magic Is Learned in Vain – Episode 262
# 262
“I’ll be back.”
Dozens of knights began to surround the carriage that was embedded in the collapsed wall.
Soldiers also formed a double and triple wall around the carriage.
“Don’t let a single one escape!”
“Yes, sir!”
The knights replied in unison.
They approached the carriage step by step.
Normally, they would have rushed forward to grab the culprit by the collar, but today was different.
It was because of the formidable magical power emanating from inside the carriage.
Moreover, the magical power was getting stronger and stronger. *What on earth is it? Is there some kind of demonic beast from the Demon Realm in the carriage?*
“It’s a shame the mages aren’t here.”
The captain of the knights muttered with a hardened face.
There were always five mages on standby at the mansion. Unfortunately, they were on an MT [Membership Training, a Korean term for a team-building retreat] today. They said they were going on a team-building event near Poman, the capital, in a place with good water and mountains.
*Perhaps the guys who attacked today knew that fact.*
*If so, we should assume that there is someone inside, a spy cooperating with them. Once this is over, I will definitely interrogate the servants to find the spy.*
Of course, the captain’s determination was in vain.
The reason Legion attacked today was ‘just because.’ There was no particular reason. If I had to pick one reason, it would be the desperation to retrieve the ‘Skin Powder’ before it fell into someone else’s hands.
The time for the Total Body Makeover magic was only a few days away.
If he didn’t find the ‘Skin Powder’ quickly, his life would be over.
From Legion’s point of view, even if there was a Demon King here, he would have had to come and meet Sarah Connor.
Weeeeeeeng-
Mana blades were generated from the knights’ swords.
The captain was about to give the order to attack and simultaneously attack the carriage.
At that moment, Sergeant Kim’s ‘Lion’s Roar,’ returned from hell, exploded.
-Sarah Connor!
Kwakwakwakwakwang!
Stones scattered in all directions, hitting the knights. There were too many stones. The knights had to focus on defense without even being able to attack Legion.
In the meantime, Legion and Drezzer jumped out.
Their attack power was not something that could be blocked by the knights’ level.
The difference in power was incomparable.
To make a comparison, it was no different from a lion and a tiger facing dozens of cats.
A cat is just a cat, no matter how much it struggles.
With their abilities, they couldn’t even scratch a lion or a tiger, even if they died and came back to life.
Even if the lion and tiger were sleeping, they couldn’t kill them with the cat’s abilities.
The situation was resolved in an instant.
Shuttle couldn’t close his gaping mouth as he watched the unbelievable sight.
*Is this real?*
*They’re single-handedly devastating the Marquis’s family right now.*
*Is this really okay? Can I survive like this?*
Shuttle shook his head from side to side. *I’m doomed. I’m going to be hanged in the streets with those bastards. Ah! I’m ruined. I haven’t even gotten my revenge yet. Why do I have to be involved with those bastards and go to the afterlife together?*
Tears blurred his vision.
*If I had at least had a proper romance, I wouldn’t be so upset.*
Legion, who had defeated all the knights, turned his head towards Shuttle. He gave him a thumbs up.
*Yeah, you’re so great.*
“I’ll be back.”
“…….”
*This is really amazing.*
* * *
Bang!
Raiden kicked open the locked door.
He had just fallen asleep. But anyone who hears an ear-splitting explosion and thinks, ‘Oh, it’s just fireworks. It must be a festival. I should sleep more,’ needs a mental evaluation.
Surprised, he jumped out of bed and looked out the window.
Explosions were happening in a chain reaction. The explosions completely blew away the main gate.
And a carriage led by a ghost horse was breaking into the interior. The ghost horse was crushing the knights and soldiers as they were.
“Ummm.”
Raiden felt his mind sharpen.
The energy of the alcohol he drank before going to bed was completely gone. The magical power emanating from the carriage was so great that he could clearly feel it even from a distance.
The carriage did not slow down and rammed into the front door of the mansion.
Kukukukukukung!
Raiden staggered so much that he couldn’t keep his balance. He had never seen such a reckless guy in his life. Even suicide bombers wouldn’t do this.
Or are they really suicide bombers?
Raiden looked out the window again. There were no other troops entering after the carriage.
In other words, the people in the carriage are all of them.
At that moment-
Raiden felt a chill run down his spine. Only one person came to his mind.
-They’re after Sarah Connor!
Ironclad Warrior.
“What the hell is that bastard? Why is he after Sarah Connor so much?”
Could he be from the future?
Yes, he might be a subordinate of the Black Dragon or the Black Pig. He might be an assassin sent from the future to prevent Sarah Connor’s son, John Connor, from being born.
So he can run wild like this, regardless of whether he’s a marquis or not.
The author’s purpose is Sarah Connor alone.
I have to protect her no matter what.
“Sarah Connor!”
Raiden shouted as he broke through the door. No answer was heard.
In fact, contrary to his thoughts, Legion was not very interested in Sarah Connor. His only interest was the ‘Skin Powder’ she had stolen. If he could just get that, there would be no problem.
Please don’t make a fuss and give me back my stuff!
Thump, thump, thump-
Sarah Connor, hearing his voice, knocked on her door. I’m here, here!
Raiden ran to the room where Sarah Connor was locked up.
He grabbed the doorknob and pulled.
“Damn it.”
It was enchanted with magic that could not be opened by force. Only a mage can open it… That’s a prejudice.
He grabbed the doorknob and poured magic into it.
Wajijijik-!
The doorknob broke with a sound. As the magic was released, the door slid open. Inside, Sarah Connor was standing with a calm expression. She was already armed.
She was wearing the same clothes she had on at first.
She was an amazing woman in another sense. To be able to maintain such composure in this situation. She didn’t just earn the reputation of being a master thief.
“Let’s go!”
Raiden shouted.
Sarah Connor nodded and immediately followed behind him.
“Why is Don Quixote chasing you?”
“I don’t know.”
“Don’t you have any idea?”
“I have a guess.”
“What is it?”
“Skin Powder.”
“Ah.”
“If it’s not this, there’s no reason for him to target me, who he has never met before.”
Marquis Porse is also looking for the item at a huge price. There was no reason why other people wouldn’t be after it. Certainly, if they were protecting it with such tight security, it wouldn’t be an ordinary item.
“Of all times, when Marquis Porse is not here…….”
“That’s what he was aiming for.”
Kukukukukung!
At that moment, a black gauntlet popped out through the wall.
It was aiming for Sarah Connor’s neck. Surprised, Sarah Connor lowered her head.
Raiden struck down on the gauntlet with a hand blade.
A 7-star master. A so-called Sword Master’s attack. Even if it wasn’t a sword, his whole body was like a weapon.
It is also possible to cut steel with a hand blade.
Kkaaaaang!
But his hand blade could not cut off the gauntlet. It bounced off without a scratch.
Kukukukung!
Legion appeared through the wall.
“Kahaha! Do you think you can escape from me!”
Legion’s ferocious laughter echoed loudly in the hallway.
Raiden struck Legion’s side with a fist filled with magic.
Kkaaaaang!
“Kuhuk.”
He thought his fist bone was breaking. What kind of armor is it that it ignores his 7-star attack like this? Even the repulsive force is great.
What the hell is this monster?
Raiden was surprised, but that doesn’t mean he could give up.
He repeatedly struck Legion’s ribs on both sides with short punches.
Kang! Kang! Kang! Kang! Kang!
The skin peeled off Raiden’s fist and blood splattered. Legion grabbed the back of Raiden’s neck. He lifted Raiden with overwhelming strength and threw him away.
Bang!
Raiden broke through the wall and went out.
“Heok heok.”
He was out of his mind. Raiden shook his head and then got up. The reason he was able to survive in this world even while playing around these days was because he was originally strong.
Frankly speaking, whether he trained or not, there was nothing to stop him. He had always overwhelmed his opponents with an overwhelming difference in skill.
But now Raiden was facing the opposite situation.
Even if he attacked with all his might, it didn’t work on the Ironclad Warrior. Only a few exchanges of attacks and defenses had taken place, but the damage on this side was too great.
“You bastard!”
Raiden tackled Legion. It was a tackle that mobilized all of his magic power.
Like a blue flash flying and hitting, Raiden was embedded in Legion.
Kuuung!
Raiden hugged Legion and pushed with all his might. Legion was pushed back, breaking through the wall. At the same time, the floor cracked and shattered in all directions.
The servants and maids who were still on the upper floor couldn’t help but be shocked.
Can this really be called a human fight?
Isn’t this like a fight between monsters?
Such a reckless fight was so ruthless that even the knights who were left nearby had never seen anything like it. Every time one of them flew away, the mansion lost its shape.
Before they knew it, the walls and ceilings began to be smashed.
The servants who were caught up in the fight fainted without even screaming.
They really looked like monsters wearing human masks.
“Kahaha! Do you think a lowly being like you can stop me! If you want to live, hand over Sarah Connor!”
Legion slammed Raiden’s back with both hands.
Raiden vomited blood. But he endured. He grabbed Legion’s waist with both hands and pushed with all his might. But Legion didn’t budge.
What’s so heavy?
Raiden couldn’t believe it. It was like pushing a huge rock, not a person.
“Just die!”
Legion grabbed Raiden’s shoulder and kicked his knee up.
Bbeogeok!
With a tremendous sound, Raiden’s mana defense was broken helplessly. He couldn’t be matched at all. Legion grabbed the back of Raiden’s neck, whose legs were shaking, and threw him again.
Bang!
Raiden flew through two rooms.
“Kahahahaha!”
Legion looked at Sarah Connor, who was standing straight. She was trembling and watching the scene.
“I’ve finally caught you this time!”
Sarah Connor pulled out a dagger and aimed it at her neck.
“If you come any closer, I’ll die. You devilish bastard!”
Drezzer felt something was wrong.
*This… We came to take back the stuff they stole… What is this feeling?*
*No matter how you look at it, don’t we seem like the bad guys?*
Look at Sarah Connor and Raiden’s eyes. They were burning with hatred.
“Master.”
“Why?”
“I don’t know why, but we seem like the villains.”
“We? Why?”
Legion retorted with a puzzled expression.
“We’re good citizens who are trying to get back what was stolen from us.”
“Well… That’s true, but.”
“What else is there?”
Hmm, it’s definitely true… But no matter how you look at it, that’s not the feeling.
“You devilish bastards! You’ll be punished by heaven.”
Why should we be punished by heaven?
