Magic is Learned for Nothing – 358

# 358

Witch in the Forest 2

Mi Baek’s mouth dropped open at the sight of Legion’s attack power.

In Mi Baek’s eyes, Legion was an owner.

The difference between a lord and an owner is subtle.

A lord is someone who holds the power of life and death over you. It was a relationship that demanded absolute loyalty and absolute protection.

But the connection between a boss and an employee is much weaker.

If the boss is a jerk, you can just quit.

If the employee is being difficult, you can just fire them.

Labor unions and human rights commissions may have something to say, but a fine is all it takes.

Of course, the relationship between President Legion and himself is stronger than that. What does ‘stronger’ mean… well.

It’s that ominous feeling that if I quit before my contract is up or before President Legion’s skin rejuvenation is complete, I’ll be found dead somewhere in the south of the kingdom.

That’s the kind of feeling it is.

So, I had no intention of quitting at least until President Legion completed his skin rejuvenation.

The Mi Baek-branded franchise business is also appealing.

As a result, my overall feeling about President Legion wasn’t that of a mage or a warrior.

But of a lord or a business owner.

I knew he was strong, but it didn’t really hit me.

But now I know very well.

He is a mage and a warrior with immense power that I can’t even compare to.

How on earth…

Does he get stronger just by breathing?

How can he be so strong at that age?

Mi Baek lowered the staff he was holding.

It’s a staff exclusively for beauty treatments, but it also has attack power enhancement options in case a robber breaks into the beauty salon.

It has enough magic power to defeat a robber or two.

“This is really…”

Mi Baek looked at the staff.

It was embarrassing to stand in front of President Legion with this and call it a weapon.

It’s like a mouse showing off its teeth next to a lion, saying, ‘I’ll help you too.’

Forget it.

How pathetic.

Just watching is helping.

Don’t take this staff out in front of President Legion.

It’s embarrassing.

Mi Baek put the staff in his arms and watched Legion. It’s ridiculous for him to help him.

“Just looking at him makes my legs tremble.”

Look!

In a single blow, all 50 of the earth golems were destroyed.

It wasn’t just that they were somehow broken.

Engulfed in a powerful firestorm, a part of the forest, hundreds of meters in size, completely disappeared as if it had evaporated.

Really…

What an absurd destructive power.

It seems that some of the earth golems survived in the meantime. They burst out of the ground and attacked Legion.

The earth golems didn’t rush in, screaming like other monsters or beasts.

They appear silently and approach their target like stealthy assassins.

The absence of killing intent makes it even more unsettling.

But Legion had nothing to fear.

He had reached a level where he didn’t care whether the opponent had killing intent or not.

Earth golems may be scary to ordinary people, but they are no problem for Legion.

Legion took out his strongest staff. Its appearance was extraordinary, both in the past and now.

But…

It’s still a staff without a name.

It’s an ultra-rare transforming staff, but it’s still in its original form.

What would the strongest staff look like when it transforms…

Shouldn’t the owner be curious?

-Hey! Hey! Do you know who I am! I’m the strongest staff! You little punk, the very fact that a lousy human like you can be with me is an honor for you.

Legion didn’t listen.

This is because there is still no connection with the strongest staff in history.

Legion was fed up with the more than 12 input systems. So he went to Bidet and threatened him to make it just like a normal staff right away.

Thanks to this, Legion was still unable to connect with the strongest staff in history.

In a word, he is unaware of the value of a great treasure right in front of his eyes.

-Hey, name me while I’m being nice. My abilities change depending on the name.

Legion couldn’t hear him.

-Hey, the time you take me out is getting shorter and shorter. I can increase your abilities several times over. So keep me in your hands 24 hours a day.

Legion didn’t listen.

-Excuse me. Please transform me. Then I’ll add options to your abilities.

Legion didn’t listen.

-Hey! You son of a bitch!

Of course, he didn’t listen.

-I’m sorry. It’s all my fault, so please don’t use me just for beating people up.

Legion never listens.

Even now, it’s just being swung around.

Whatever will be, will be.

I’m already a lost cause.

I hope that when I’m reborn in the next life, I won’t meet an owner like Legion.

Thwack!

Cough!

Thwack!

Cough!

Thwack!

Hey! Hey! Take it easy!

Cough!

Legion swings the strongest staff in history mercilessly.

Each time he swings it, the earth golems are shattered and disappear.

Now I know.

This bastard…

Doesn’t care about me or anything…

Ah…

It hurts…

Thwack!

Just know this.

I’m the strongest staff in history…

Ah!

Is this a memory from a past life?

I remember the fruit I used to buy at Hwagok Intersection [a busy marketplace in Seoul].

No one knows, but…

Thwack!

Stop it.

Seriously…

It hurts.

“These damn bastards.”

Legion caught his breath.

He had a good workout for the first time in a while.

He looked at the strongest staff in history. It has a great feel. It trembles every time it hits an opponent.

What should I say?

It’s like a staff born to hit people.

I should postpone transforming it for this feel.

Who was it?

I forgot his name.

Ah! Lucas. If it sticks close and chatters like his transforming staff, it’ll be quite noisy.

“Is it over?”

Mi Baek, who had half given up on the battle, asked with his hands behind his back.

Legion smirked as he looked at Mi Baek.

The world is really going well.

And I have to pay you a salary?

“Not yet.”

“Is there more left? I don’t see any more enemies, though.”

“What’s the difference between an earth golem and a golem in our territory?”

“Daganda Z, you mean?”

The first golem that came to Mi Baek’s mind was Daganda Z.

Many people don’t know what Daganda Z means, but it’s simple.

-Grinds everything down.

That’s why it’s Daganda Z.

When I first saw Daganda Z, I thought it was a giant and elaborate stone statue.

But when I found out it was a moving golem, I was really surprised.

It’s abnormally large and abnormally strong.

The monster controlling it was the 7-circle lich.

The dark lord lich, who all kingdoms are hostile to.

He was being scolded by President Legion and working as a construction foreman with Daganda Z.

“Is he the only golem? There are others, too.”

“Ah! You mean the humanoid golems?”

“Yeah.”

Humanoid golems.

If they are charged for only 2 hours a day, they can operate at full power for more than 20 hours.

Furthermore, the charged magic power is unbelievably strong.

In Mi Baek’s eyes, the full-time soldiers were not the soldiers that other territories were talking about.

All of them can use mana blades. Even the lowest-ranked ones are at least 3-star level.

In other words, knights are soldiers in that territory.

But what’s even more surprising are the humanoid golems.

They have the martial power of 5-star level or higher.

The territory currently has 100 humanoid golems.

Bidet says that they will soon be mass-produced.

High-ranking officer type golems.

General soldier type golems.

They can even conduct long-range artillery battles on their own. If they fire simultaneously with the 4.5mm artillery magic mounted on their shoulders, a mediocre castle or mansion will instantly turn into scorched earth.

President Legion says their name is T-1000.

For some reason, I have a feeling that they will come to kill me from the future, but.

Well, I hope not.

That’s going too far.

It goes without saying that the full-time soldiers are on edge.

They thought they had skills that wouldn’t be inferior to anyone, but the moment mass-produced golems come out, they might become unemployed.

So the full-time soldiers were desperately devoted to training.

Seeing them, Legion said one thing.

“Damn it. I was going to cut just 300 people to reduce labor costs, but I guess I can’t.”

The full-time soldiers rolled on the floor even more desperately. Some of them went into the water and didn’t come out, and were taken to the temple.

So what’s the difference between the humanoid golem T-1000 and the earth golem?

The humanoid golem has artificial intelligence.

It doesn’t yet achieve organic harmony like humans, but it is showing a very high learning ability.

The territory’s high priest, Stephen Wooking, said, ‘Lord, someday the continent will be conquered by artificial intelligence. Please stop the development of artificial intelligence,’ he said with all his heart.

Legion took the hand of High Priest Stephen Wooking and said.

“Then will you support the costs that the temple is losing? One T-1000 does the work of about 300 soldiers. Three would be almost a thousand. I was planning to produce about ten thousand. I’m losing tens of millions of gold. If you support that, I’ll stop the development of artificial intelligence as much as you want.”

High Priest Stephen Wooking held Legion’s hands tightly and said again.

“Lord, you are doing well for humanity. We will fully support you.”

The humanoid golem T-1000 has artificial intelligence.

The earth golem is moved by the power of spirits.

They are completely different beings, even though they have the same name.

Only then did Mi Baek realize what President Legion was talking about.

“Does that mean there’s a spiritist nearby?”

“He’s someone who can move more than 50 earth golems at once. That means he’s quite skilled.”

“Why is he attacking you, President?”

“I don’t know.”

Legion shrugged and shouted into the forest.

“Come out. If you don’t come out, I’ll burn it down with the forest.”

A man appeared at Legion’s words.

He seemed to have judged that Legion had the ability to burn down this forest.

The man glared at Legion with fierce eyes. He seemed to be saying that you had crossed a line you shouldn’t have crossed.

“Why did a spiritist with your skills attack me?”

Legion asked.

“It’s not just you. No one can set foot here.”

“Why?”

“He is here.”

“He?”

“Who is he?”

“No one can hear his name.”

“Hmm.”

Legion and Mi Baek sighed at the same time. At times like this, I suddenly get curious.

They should have just not said anything from the beginning. What’s the point of saying that he’s here but you can’t tell me his name?

Would I know if I heard his name?

“Who are you?”

“My name is Won Hyuk.”

“Won Hyuk?”

That’s a really unfamiliar name.

It was definitely not a name used on the continent. Come to think of it, his hair and eyes are also black.

Ah!

It came to mind.

I was wondering where I had heard it…

“Are you perhaps reading the novel ‘Magic is Learned for Nothing’?”

Won Hyuk was startled.

Legion took out a letter from his pocket as if he knew it would happen and handed it to Won Hyuk.

Won Hyuk looked at Legion with suspicious eyes. What kind of trick is this? That was the expression on his face.

“This is a letter that a guy named Dong Eun gave me. He said that I might meet you, so please deliver it.”

Won Hyuk had a really dumbfounded expression on his face. Then he tore open the letter and began to read it slowly.

-This letter first started near the border. It must leave your hands within four days. You must pass this letter on to seven people who need luck. It is by no means superstition. If you don’t believe it, you will be cursed.

…

Spiritist Won Hyuk grabbed the back of his neck and collapsed.
