Magic is Learned for Nothing – 360

# 360

The Central Five 2

Dreyzaire looked at James.

“Am I ugly?”

“…….”

James hesitated for 2 seconds.

“N, no. Th, that’s…”

“Headbutt.”

James immediately headbutted the ground.

Mamma Yujiro immediately started calculating. *I have to say I’m handsome.*

Dreyzaire turned his head to Mamma Yujiro.

“Why do you think I don’t date?”

“You’re handsome… What?”

“Headbutt.”

Mamma Yujiro also headbutted the ground.

The behavior in front of the Royalist’s Supreme Commander was unbelievably low.

There was no discipline or spirit.

Nevertheless, the atmosphere gathered around Dreyzaire. All eyes were on Dreyzaire.

“Who is that? That knight?”

“Damn, he’s so fierce. I’ve never seen such a fierce face before.”

“But why is his hair like that? He braided it into pigtails.”

“I, I know that hairstyle!”

“What hairstyle is it?”

“It’s the hairstyle that Anne of Green Gables often wears.”

“Who is that?”

“Look it up. Don’t ask me.”

The soldiers whispered, looking at Dreyzaire with fearful eyes.

He wasn’t emitting Aura.

He wasn’t emitting Fighting Spirit either.

He certainly wasn’t emitting murderous intent.

Nevertheless, he projected a presence that transcended common sense.

It was as if he was overwhelming the famous Central Five with his mere presence.

“What are you?”

Duke Knuckle frowned.

“Didn’t you hear?”

“Hear what?”

“I said I was a subordinate of Count Legion.”

“You said?”

“I said.”

“Did you lose your mind coming to the battlefield?”

“Who was it that called me an alien creature at first sight?”

“A mere subordinate of the Count dares to challenge me, a Duke. One word from me and your head will be cut off.”

“We’ll have to see if it gets cut off or not.”

“This crazy bastard…….”

Duke Knuckle’s murderous intent intensified. Romeo, the guard captain who was protecting his side, stepped forward and drew his sword.

He put the sword to Dreyzaire’s neck.

When magic power was released, a blue haze rose. Even if it was a Mana Blade [a blade of pure magical energy], it could crush a person’s flesh in an instant.

In other words-

Guard Captain Romeo was going to cut off Dreyzaire’s neck for defying his master.

But Romeo’s blade did not touch Dreyzaire’s neck. It was touching an invisible wall.

Romeo knew what that was.

Magic Defense.

However, it didn’t seem like the Magic Defense Romeo knew. There was no Magic Defense that could block a Mana Blade without any problems.

If there was a Magic Defense that could block Mana Blades and Aura Blades [blades of pure life-force energy], why would there be shields and armor?

Magic Defense only reduces the power of Mana Blades and Aura Blades; it does not eliminate them.

That was the common knowledge Romeo had learned.

“Eeeek.”

But he didn’t budge.

The guard knight Tibalt of Duke No Money and the guard knight Juliet of Duke Gaggle, who were watching from the side, snorted. *Was that all that guy’s skill was?*

They could not see Dreyzaire’s elaborate Magic Defense.

“If I were the enemy, the game would already be over.”

Dreyzaire smirked with a knife to his neck. It was a very bizarre sight.

Even the soldiers could tell that Dreyzaire was dominating the situation even while his neck was threatened.

“Where the hell did this crazy bastard come from?”

“You guys started the fight.”

“If you say one more word, I’ll kill you.”

“If I say one more word, I’ll blow all your heads off here.”

“You son of a bitch!”

Duke Knuckle’s roar erupted.

At the same time-

Dreyzaire’s 500 personal guards drew their swords and put them to the necks of the knights next to them.

The knights couldn’t do anything. It was too sudden.

“Wh, what?”

The other knights drew their swords without realizing the situation.

However, they were also quickly subdued by Legion’s exclusive servants and 700 regular soldiers.

There was no time to do anything.

“What are you guys doing?”

Bacon said to the mercenaries with a smile.

“Yes?”

“Aren’t you subordinates of Count Legion?”

“Y, yes, we are.”

“Then you must have seen the veterans drawing their swords.”

“Y, yes, we did.”

“You bastards. It looks like you’re spacing out and don’t know what I’m saying. Draw your swords right now! Draw your swords and…….”

A powerful flame soared from Bacon’s sword.

It was the magic sword Fire Fox, which combined Aura and magic. The flames soared up to several meters.

It was a distinctly different energy from simple Aura.

Fire Fox pointed at the surrounding knights.

“These guys have tarnished our master’s name. Kill all those you’ve never seen before!”

“A, are we really killing them all?”

“Kill them all.”

At the same time, Fire Fox exploded. There were dozens of knights in front of him.

But they were just staring at Bacon with blank faces.

It was embarrassing to be attacked by allies. But the power was no joke.

There were over a thousand of them around. If they decided to attack from the inside, thousands of people would lose their lives at the same time.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Fire Fox exploded right in front of the knights’ noses. This was not something the caster eliminated with his will.

Someone helped them.

“Hey, hey. This is no joke.”

The one who helped them was a man called John Wick, Duke Sijinpi’s closest aide.

Although he was not one of the kingdom’s Seven Great Powerhouses, he was considered a person whose name would be included if the kingdom’s Top 10 Powerhouses were reorganized.

It was no exaggeration to say that he was the man Duke Sijinpi trusted the most.

John Wick, who shook off Fire Fox, looked at Bacon with an amused expression.

“That’s a magic sword, right?”

“So?”

“To be able to use a magic sword so freely. We had such talent in our kingdom.”

Bacon smirked and shrugged his shoulders.

“Count Legion’s subordinates, huh? There are quite a few strong guys. So, are you Count Legion’s right-hand man?”

“…….”

Bacon did not answer.

“Ho! Then the guy over there must be your superior.”

John Wick pointed to Dreyzaire.

Sadly, even if people knew the name Dreyzaire, very few knew his face.

Strangely, Dreyzaire is one of the most handsome men in the kingdom. Even though he didn’t spread the rumors himself, I don’t know why such rumors spread to other kingdoms.

Crazy Dreyzaire.

The Warrior of Madness.

His overwhelming skill is also a skill, but his handsome appearance shakes the hearts of many women.

But Dreyzaire does not waver. He spreads his seed like the wind and disappears.

Of course, John Wick never thought that Dreyzaire was *that* Dreyzaire.

He just thought he was the knight with the most intimidating face ever.

“Superior is a superior, but…”

“Two 5-star warriors from the Count’s family. It hurts my pride, but I’ll have to face you, the number two.”

“…….”

“What’s with that lukewarm reaction? Don’t tell me you’re not number two?”

“It’s embarrassing, so please don’t ask.”

“S, surely. Number five?”

“I told you not to ask.”

“Are you at least in the top ten?”

“Ah, damn it, I told you not to ask!”

“This bastard, is he trying to confuse me with a bluff right now?”

John Wick couldn’t believe it.

Even if he underestimated the opponent in front of him, he was a 5-star knight. Furthermore, he even uses magic.

Those who can use magic and Aura at the same time are special. Recruiting them would be incredibly beneficial to our side. He was thinking of testing his abilities, knocking him down, and then offering him pretty good conditions.

*This guy is definitely one of the top three strongest in Count Legion’s camp.*

He must be receiving tremendous benefits.

But his lord is Duke Sijinpi.

He could give him several times the reward of Count Legion.

But this guy says he’s not even in the top 10 in Count Legion’s camp.

Does that make sense?

Ask a passing dog. Such a skilled person is not even in the top 10.

Is it an estate where only monsters live?

*You liar.*

“It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not. If you’re curious, come to our territory yourself.”

“I don’t think I’ll ever go to such a rural backwater. If I beat you up badly, you might change your mind…….”

“Hmm, I don’t think there’s any reason for me to lose to you.”

Bacon, who was growing Fire Fox even bigger, sheathed his sword. Then he turned his gaze away.

John Wick tilted his head, not knowing why.

He turned his head away in front of someone with the same skills as him?

Why?

“You’re quite skilled in psychological warfare. But you’ve chosen the wrong opponent. I’m not someone who is easily swayed by such psychological warfare.”

“Psychological warfare?”

Bacon snorted.

*Psychological warfare, my ass.*

“The Grim Reaper is coming. Not only me, but none of our unit members here can stop that person. So……. I’ll wish you good luck in advance.”

Bacon slightly turned his eyes.

John Wick also moved following his eyes. There, he was flying at an incredible speed—yes, he was flying. The distance between that giant and himself narrowed in the blink of an eye.

That giant knight whose neck was about to be cut off by Romeo.

Surprisingly, he was deflecting Romeo’s sword with his neck and approaching him as if he was flying.

John Wick also knew the light footwork that man was using.

He knew it, but he hadn’t seen it in person very often.

Running as if flying by stepping on grass.

It was a technique one level higher than stepping on grass and running. An advanced technique that only knights of at least 6 stars or higher can perform.

How surprised he was when he saw Marquis Porse use that technique in the past.

Even though he was an enemy, he sincerely exclaimed. He wanted to become a knight who could use such techniques.

But!

Suddenly, a giant knight who didn’t look like a human was using the technique of stepping on grass and flying.

No, I don’t want to admit it, but he seemed faster than Marquis Porse.

“Eek!”

John Wick raised his shield. As his skills increased, the size of his shield also decreased.

The size of his shield was only about 30 centimeters. No matter how skilled you are, you can be hit by a stray arrow. Therefore, shields were essential protective gear that knights had to wear.

Bang!

Dreyzaire and John Wick collided.

The soldiers rubbed their eyes.

An unbelievable sight was unfolding.

It was clearly imprinted on their retinas like a slow-motion illusion.

The high-strength shield that collided with Dreyzaire’s shoulder shattered and broke.

It clearly collided with his shoulder, but the shield shattered with an explosive sound.

Surprised, John Wick stepped back and struck Dreyzaire wildly with his sword.

*He’s going to die no matter what.*

But…….

The Aura sword did not penetrate Dreyzaire’s body and bounced off in succession.

Dreyzaire is not just relying on Magic Defense. He was wearing the Armor of the Supreme Emperor. In addition, he was covered in all sorts of rare items made by grinding Bidet [a rare and powerful magical material].

Mediocre Aura disappears before it even touches his body.

John Wick’s neck was caught in Dreyzaire’s grasp.

John Wick had a horrified expression on his face.

He had never seen such tremendous grip strength. It felt like the skills he had worked so hard to build up his entire life were useless.

No matter what he did, he couldn’t deal with this guy.

He felt it the moment he met him.

Heeshik!

Dreyzaire smiled as he looked at John Wick.

“You should be thankful that I’m not using weapons.”

With those words, Dreyzaire’s fist struck his face like a bomb.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

It was exactly three shots.
