Magic Is Learned For Nothing [EN]: Chapter 337

Magic is Learned in Vain – 338

Alcatraz Rebellion 1

“Damn it, we’re screwed. We’re screwed!”

Legion grimaced as he left the casino.

He had no choice but to run because of Shuttle. Shuttle, who was caught using magic, ran away and was caught by the guards.

“If you’re going to die, die alone,” that bastard shouted while looking at me.

“Boss, what should I do?”

*Ah, you blabbermouth.* Legion was really surprised.

He was turning his head away, pretending not to know, but he shouted so loudly.

Legion didn’t look at him. Then Shuttle shouted even louder.

“Boss! What should I do now? You didn’t tell me about the next operation.”

*What is that idiot babbling about now!*

“I’m seeing you for the first time today,” Legion said as gracefully as possible.

“Oh, that loser-looking guy. He’s trying to drag someone down with him. There’s no way a handsome man like that would be in cahoots with a guy like him.”

“That’s right. He’s a very bad guy.”

Numerous noble ladies standing like a screen next to Legion blamed Shuttle.

Only then did Shuttle realize his mistake.

*Could this be part of the operation? Should I run away then? Oh, well, whatever.*

Shuttle gathered his magic power.

Only a tiny amount of magic power gathered. The entire casino was under the influence of a large mana dampening stone [a device that suppresses magical abilities].

“Damn it, I’m sorry. I mistook you for someone else.”

Shuttle, already exposed, pretended not to know Legion.

The guards weren’t just grabbing Shuttle. They also went to Legion and said, “Let’s go talk for a bit.”

Legion glared at Shuttle. *It’s all your fault.*

Shuttle felt a chill run down his spine. *The boss’s eyes are very fierce. But there’s something he still doesn’t understand.*

*What kind of operation is this, anyway?*

Wasn’t it a very easy operation where Mamon only had to reveal the opponent’s cards?

That’s right.

It was the right operation, but unfortunately, he got caught. The moment he opened the subspace, magic power flowed out and was caught by the magic power detection stone.

Legion didn’t know about the magic power detection stone imported from the Empire.

That it catches even the smallest amounts.

“Screw it, I don’t know.”

Shuttle summoned two skeleton soldiers. He had become skilled enough to summon a skeleton legion. But now, with his magic power sealed, a maximum of two was the best he could do.

They are team leader-level skeleton soldiers.

They possess combat power that is on a different level from ordinary skeleton soldiers who carry rusty swords. In terms of knights or warriors, they are at the level of 2 stars [a ranking system for power]. In other words, they can use mana blades, albeit clumsily.

Perhaps because they are team leaders, the swords held by the skeleton soldiers were quite sharp.

The skeleton soldiers looked around, radiating ferocity.

In particular, the noble ladies who were close to the skeleton soldiers screamed and scattered in all directions.

The large guards approached the skeleton soldiers.

The skeleton soldiers did not fight them but approached the large magic stone in the center.

-Is this it?

-This is it.

-Okay, let’s hurry.

The skeleton soldiers installed a magic tool on the magic stone. When they pressed the switch, numbers appeared.

10 seconds, 9 seconds, 8 seconds…….

The countdown began.

Soon-

콰콰콰콰콰콰쾅! [Sound of explosion]

The expensive magic stone exploded and shattered. In an instant, the magic power of everyone in the casino was revived like an erupting volcano.

“Kuhahahaha! You bastards! You’re all dead! Summon! Wipe them all out!”

Shuttle had gone mad.

He seemed to have forgotten what was important now. He summoned nearly a hundred skeleton soldiers, skeleton wizards, skeleton warriors, and skeleton archers, turning the casino into a complete mess.

“What is that crazy bastard?”

The guards were greatly embarrassed. It had been several years since the casino opened, but this was the first time someone had caused such a blatant disturbance. They grabbed their batons and ran towards Shuttle.

“Stamina Down Debuff!”

“Magic Power Down Debuff!”

“Libido Exhaustion Debuff!”

“Triple Weight Gain!”

“Vision Impairment!”

“Hearing Loss!”

Shuttle is a master of curses. He cast all sorts of curses on the guards who were running towards him.

The guards, who had been running fiercely, suddenly slowed down.

Some guards knelt down and wept.

In the chaotic casino, Legion slipped out alone. If he stayed with that bastard, he might be mistaken for a violent criminal and dragged to Alcatraz [a high-security prison].

*Damn it, why are those women like that?*

Numerous noble ladies chased after Legion. He could feel the desperate look in their eyes, as if they would die together.

He didn’t know if Steve Jukso and Dodo Hae, who were working as decoys, had run away. They seemed to have been pushed somewhere by the huge number of skeleton soldiers.

Legion went to the men’s restroom, took out his helmet, and put it on. He took off the thin, high-quality cloth covering his upper body. Tremendous heat soared even when it only touched his skin.

Taking off his top made him feel alive.

Legion returned to his appearance as a pervert with a very handsome upper body.

When he left the bathroom, no one recognized him.

Even though he only covered his face, no one recognized him. He felt a little bitter.

“Damn it, I didn’t get a single penny.”

Legion clenched his teeth.

If things kept going wrong like this, he would go bankrupt (he only thought he was going bankrupt, but his money was growing enormously even if he did nothing. If the mines he continued to discover became active, it was a foregone conclusion that he would become the richest man in the kingdom).

“Hey! You, the man with the helmet!”

The guards called out to Legion.

The reason Legion was called was simple. Because he was wearing a helmet that was too out of place for this location. That’s why they were trying to catch him.

“Where should I go?”

Legion looked around. He had no idea where to go. This was underground. He hadn’t done any prior reconnaissance. The paths were all the same, so he didn’t know where was where.

Hey! Hey! Are you sleeping?

-Not sleeping. Why?

Scan it for me.

-You only call me when you need me. Isn’t that a bit much?

Let’s talk about that later. I’m in a hurry.

-Hmph.

Mark scanned the casino with a sulky voice.

Thanks to the magic stone being broken, scanning the underground floor was possible at least. But the higher he went, the more difficult the scan became. There seemed to be magic stones on each floor that suppressed magic power.

Magic stones are by no means cheap minerals. They are more expensive than mithril [a rare and valuable metal]. He had magic stones embedded in every floor of the building.

How much money is the Duke of Gong making in this city?

The reason why the Duke of Gong openly coveted the throne.

Could it be because of his financial power?

He builds up his military power based on far more funds than the royal family. If so?

If this funding is cut off, wouldn’t the Duke of Gong, who is hostile to the royal family, also collapse?

“Catch him!”

The guards were right in front of him.

*Oh! They’re really not even a punch away.*

*Withdraw for now!*

There’s no point in getting his face known.

If his name is known, the Duke of Gong might take action himself. No matter how much of a count he is, he cannot compare to the Duke of Gong. There was no need to be openly hostile to him.

That’s why he’s retreating now.

It was when Legion stepped back. Someone suddenly grabbed his arm.

*Screw it! You scared me!*

*I almost dropped my baby.*

* * *

Surprisingly, Mamma Yujiro endured Dreizer’s cauldron-like fist.

He had been hit by that bitch’s fist many times.

“Oh? Look at this bastard.”

Dreizer felt an unknown anxiety while looking at Mamma Yujiro.

Mamma Yujiro was grinning like a madman. As if he was doing something very enjoyable.

“Ptooey!”

He spat blood on the floor. A broken tooth rolled around with the blood.

It must hurt terribly.

Especially since his regeneration ability wouldn’t be activated with all his stats sealed.

“Let’s do more.”

Mamma Yujiro strode towards Dreizer.

“Okay. I’ll beat you just until you don’t die.”

“Oho, it’s strangely thrilling.”

The two muscle mountains stood facing each other.

Mamma Yujiro is a head shorter than Dreizer. Nevertheless, perhaps because of the atmosphere, the difference in their height was not felt.

The two looked at each other.

Except for James, who was busy writing lucky letters, all the prisoners held their breath and watched the fight between the seven strongest in the kingdom.

Clang!

At the same time, the two threw punches.

Thwack!

Pow pow pow!

Pow pow pow pow pow!

The two’s legs were nailed to the middle of the square. There was no retreat.

With almost all the prisoners and guards watching, the two men engaged in a no-holds-barred brawl.

Noses were collapsing, and lips were torn. Eyes were swollen, and faces were unrecognizable.

Still, they didn’t stop punching.

And so, time passed.

It seemed like at least a few hours had passed. Dawn was breaking. It was a fight that would normally end in a few minutes for a human. Hitting the opponent with all your might is that difficult.

Especially when performing a flurry of blows, you become breathless.

You plant dozens of punches on the opponent’s face in a breathless state. And when you breathe, the attacker’s face turns blue. Because of the lack of oxygen.

Dreizer and Mamma Yujiro repeated that for several hours.

There were countless people who fainted even after repeating it only once.

They were not human.

Thwack thwack thwack thwack!

Even though dawn had broken, no one could move. There were no prisoners who were breathing properly.

They were witnessing a magnificent sight they had never seen before.

A fight they would never see again.

However, there can be no endless fight.

Where there is a winner, there must also be a loser.

The victory…….

Surprisingly, it was heading towards Mamma Yujiro.

‘Kuh, what? What is this crazy bastard?’

The reason why Dreizer was pushed back was unknown to him. He had never known that there was such a human being. He had had many experiences, but this was the first time.

*This bastard…….*

He’s laughing while getting hit.

“Kuhahahaha! Dreizer! You’re not there yet. Hit me more!”

*What the hell is he!*
