Magic Is Learned For Nothing [EN]: Chapter 274

Magic is Learned for Nothing – 275

# 275

Awakening! Dark Lord 3

“Well, this is something.”

Dreyza, who was floating in the air and spamming the 8-star skill ‘Love is in Your Arms,’ paused briefly and clicked his tongue.

This was beyond surprising; it was almost shocking.

He could now use almost all of the Dark Overlord’s power.

Entering the 8th Star!

People don’t use the word ‘dream’ when referring to 8-star warriors or knights.

‘Dream’ referred to 7-star warriors and knights. The transcendent being that humans could reach was the 7-star.

A clear limit.

Magic power, the human body, lifespan, and all comprehensive aspects were considered, with the 7th star being the final limit.

Thus, 7-star individuals are given the title ‘Master.’

However, very rarely, an 8-star being appears. They… have already surpassed humans, so they can’t even be considered worthy of being called ‘dream.’

That’s how different their strength is; the 8-star knight, the Grand Master.

According to ancient texts, five 7-star knights could not defeat one 8-star knight.

Of course, the Empire has 8-star knights.

However, the Empire keeps information about 8-star knights a closely guarded secret. An 8-star knight is a strategic weapon just by existing.

It’s not even clear how great their strength is.

Surprisingly, Dreyza had finally reached the 8th star.

Grand Master!

Grand Master Crazy Dreyza!

Wow! I have to go fight that Preitia [likely a powerful enemy or rival] again.

Dreyza decided. Frankly, the moment he felt it, he even thought his master was a bit of a joke. He was confident he could beat Lich Mamon and his master together while eating noodles for lunch.

But… that was overconfidence.

What kind of power did the master gain?

How can you become so surprisingly strong with that kind of training?

Should I try wearing the armor for a moment?

Dreyza thought for a moment, then shook his head. Absolutely not.

However… wasn’t the master a mage?

콰콰콰콰콰콰콰쾅!

He’s a mage, but he barely uses magic. Even now, he was beating up the Bone Dragon with an iron sword.

Each time he hit it, the Bone Dragon’s face turned white… Ah, is it originally white since it’s a skeleton? Anyway, its bones were breaking and crumbling.

That strongest hardness that it boasts… the Dragon Bone, that is.

“Master! If possible, don’t break the shin bone! I’ll make an axe out of it!”

-Kuaaaaa!

The Bone Dragon, hearing Dreyza’s cry, screamed like crazy.

And glared at Dreyza with furious eyes, spewing Dragon Fear [an ability that induces terror].

-Kuoaaaa!

“Hey! You should be angry at the guy who’s hitting you, why are you angry at me!”

Dreyza had to swing the Tyrant’s Fang [likely a powerful weapon] like crazy to block the sudden fear.

One hit from the left.

One hit from the right.

One hit from below.

One hit from above.

The Bone Dragon couldn’t come to its senses. The anger towards all living things subsided, and it slowly started to get tired of Legion, who was like a local thug.

-Kuaaaaaaang!

The Bone Dragon attacked a few more times, but its attacks didn’t work at all. It opened its mouth wide and spewed fear, and using the gap where Legion hesitated, it flapped its bone wings and flew up.

The bone wings received the power of magic and created tremendous wind pressure.

Hundreds and thousands of undead born from it couldn’t withstand the wind pressure and tumbled.

The remains of the building were scattered everywhere.

-Kuooooo!

Flap, flap!

The Bone Dragon’s huge body gradually rose into the sky.

“Hey! Are you running away!”

Legion shouted, pointing his finger. Mark replied.

-An undead with no consciousness running away? You saw it earlier.

What?

-It seems like it’s trying to breathe.

Ah! It has breath.

-Is now the time to say Ah!? It’s a Bone Dragon, but its breath is really powerful. Didn’t you see it earlier? Its destructive power surpasses 8-circle attack magic [a high level of magic]. If two or three shots hit this place directly, half of the city will be blown away.

Okay. You’re saying to finish it before it breathes, right?

Legion gathered magic power, cast Fly magic, and slowly rose into the sky.

It works!

I can finally do Fly magic too!

Fly magic that everyone else does!

And pointed his right index finger at the Bone Dragon.

The skill that was inevitably sealed due to the armor!

“Lightning Strike!”

Legion’s only active skill, Lightning Strike, was activated.

It was linked to the ‘Explosion of Coolness’ skill, containing destructive power beyond imagination.

The flashing lightning struck the Bone Dragon’s crown with its sharp electric spear.

Crackle, crackle, crackle!

The mighty Bone Dragon twisted its body in the air.

Lightning strikes that burst in succession! The Bone Dragon’s bones, which had been regenerating infinitely, continued to be struck with blows that it could no longer regenerate.

The Lightning Strike repeatedly struck the Bone Dragon, and before he knew it, Legion, who had risen above the Bone Dragon, raised his iron sword high into the sky.

Lightning flashed! It was sucked into Legion’s iron sword.

Legion muttered quietly.

“One who came from death! Return to death!”

The iron sword pierced the Bone Dragon’s head. The Bone Dragon began to split in half from that wound.

And after a while, the Bone Dragon shattered and exploded in white.

콰콰콰콰콰콰콰콰쾅!

It was a light bright enough to envelop the entire dark city.

Many people couldn’t withstand the light and covered their faces with their hands.

* * *

Soldiers from the Capital Defense Command’s 5-Minute Ready Squad couldn’t close their mouths as they watched the exploding Bone Dragon.

As befitting the 5-Minute Ready Squad, they were a force that had undergone tremendous special training.

3,000 skilled individuals who could easily overwhelm any knight order. All were light infantry, but their actual skills were the strongest armed group, with the condition of enlistment being 4-star.

Behind them followed 300 magic corps, 1,000 archers, and 2,000 engineers.

Soon, the main force, the tank unit, heavy infantry, and cavalry, would also be deployed.

The role of the 5-Minute Ready Squad was to prevent the enemy’s advance until then.

They quickly entered Poman’s inner castle and began to massacre the undead. However, there were too many.

They revive even after being killed.

So, a separate unit escorted the magic corps and approached the Bone Dragon.

The plan was for the magic corps to cut off the Bone Dragon’s breath while other troops blocked the undead.

Unfortunately, the plan failed miserably.

Shamefully, they couldn’t break through the wave of undead. Rather, dividing the troops into two was a mistake, and the two divided troops were isolated without being able to merge.

The 5-Minute Ready Squad was slowly pushed back!

At this rate, it seemed like they would be annihilated before long.

That’s when they saw the armored warrior appearing on a wyvern [a dragon-like creature].

“Waaaaaa!”

The soldiers cheered.

They seemed to know who that person was, even from a distance.

The famous armored warrior Donte Kman. There was no other way to explain it.

But…….

Unfortunately, he fought well, but he disappeared after being hit by the Bone Dragon’s tail.

After that, Donte Kman did not return to the battlefield. It seems he lost his life.

The soldiers barely endured, losing hope in life.

Then someone else appeared. He was a smooth, muscular man with black skin.

Surprisingly, he defeated the Bone Dragon.

“D, Donte Kman?”

“No! Donte Kman is famous for never taking off his armor!”

“Then who the hell is that person?”

“W, well… but isn’t it clear that it’s not him?”

“Is that so? Then who the hell is that person!”

The soldiers’ eyes flashed as they looked at the heroic black man.

“Well, who cares who he is! That person saved our kingdom from crisis!”

Someone shouted.

“Waaaaaa!”

The soldiers’ morale soared. As the Bone Dragon fell, they swung their swords at the undead, who were rapidly losing strength.

The battle quickly began to tilt towards the humans.

* * *

A moment later, two people arrived there.

“This… is an amazing thing.”

Donte Kman muttered, looking at the armor at his feet.

It flew from the place with that strange dragon in the center… It was a very familiar armor.

Where did I see it?

I think I’ve seen it, but I can’t remember. But why? This unfamiliarity.

His heart began to beat.

He stroked the armor. It was clearly a very expensive item. It didn’t feel like it had any magical abilities, but it was an armor made of metal with self-repairing abilities.

Donte Kman picked up the two divided pieces of armor and went into the inn. Anyway, everyone had evacuated from the inn, and there was no one there.

The reason why Donte Kman didn’t evacuate and stayed here in this chaos was nothing special.

To meet Marco Polo and return his license to kill [permission to assassinate targets].

If he went outside the capital city of Poman, it seemed like it would take quite a long time to get back in.

“Why are you bringing that trash?”

Jack Nicher asked.

“Does it look like trash?”

“Yes. Ugh, what is this smell? Oh, it’s terrible. It smells like the armor hasn’t been washed for about 6 months and the smell under your balls has permeated into it.”

“Hmm. I have sinusitis. I don’t know the smell well.”

“You’re not going to wear that armor, are you?”

“Can I wear it?”

Donte Kman asked back.

“No, no, no. This armor is 2 meters tall. Donte Kman is only a little over 160 centimeters [approximately 5’3″]. You can’t wear it.”

“Still…, I want to try it on once.”

“Give up. It doesn’t fit at all. What.”

Donte Kman shook his head. He felt a strange sense of familiarity with this armor. It was like seeing a friend he had known for a long time.

He cleaned the inside of the armor thoroughly.

At first, he didn’t notice, but after hearing Jack Nicher’s words, it seemed like there was a bit of a bad smell.

After scrubbing it hard with a loofah, it definitely became cleaner.

After washing the inside of the armor, he also took care of the appearance.

It was an armor that had lived a pretty rough life. There were quite a few minor scratches. It has self-repairing abilities, but it seems like it can’t handle these delicate scratches.

Donte Kman, who carefully wiped the armor, also took off his armor.

Clang, clang.

Tough muscles and wounds that haven’t healed yet were revealed.

Recently, the number of wounds has increased too much due to the attacks of vampires and assassins.

Donte Kman forcibly stuffed his body into the armor.

Since it was such a large armor, his body somehow fit inside.

That’s when it happened.

Weeeeee!

A sound was heard, and the remaining half of the armor covered his entire body.

Only his head could barely come out. He struggled, but he couldn’t move inside the armor.

“Jack Nicher! Jack Nicher!”

Calling Jack Nicher was useless. It seemed like he had left his seat for a while.

You son of a bitch! He’s never there when I need him.

He’s loyal, but he goes alone when he meets women.

You son of a bitch. You should introduce me too.

He couldn’t have gone to seduce a woman even in a state where the capital was turned upside down.

Donte Kman became desperate.

Even if he mobilized all his magic power, he couldn’t take off the armor.

“N, no way!”

He was a 7-star warrior. He was called one of the kingdom’s 7 strongest. Such a person couldn’t even take off his armor.

A faint sound was heard inside the armor.

-Medicine ingredients remain inside the armor. I will cast a full-body plastic surgery spell. Do not take off the armor for 6 months. You will become a slime.

“W, what is this? What is this?”

Donte Kman cried out pitifully.

But there was nothing he could do.

What’s even sadder is that he doesn’t even know about the existence of ‘Skin Powder’ [likely a cosmetic or magical item].
