Magic Is Learned For Nothing [EN]: Chapter 371

Magic is Learned in Vain – 372

Your Reflection in the Window 2

Legion and Miback escaped the Dark Wood. Surprisingly, the forest vanished as soon as they stepped off the path, disappearing into the fog.

“Wow, that was an amazing experience. The forest really disappeared before my eyes. If I didn’t know about the Dark Wood, I would have thought I was seeing a mirage.”

Miback said, watching the Dark Wood gradually fade into the white mist.

“How did you know about the Dark Wood?”

“The door told me earlier.”

“The door?”

“Yes, the door that talks rudely. But after talking for a while, I found we had something in common.”

Legion’s expression was strange.

He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. *This guy must be the only human who connects with a door*, he thought.

“But…”

“But what?”

“Were you and that beautiful woman a couple in your past life?”

“Why are you curious about that?”

“Just because. I thought it was just like you, Boss.”

“Like me?”

“How many people remember their past lives among humans?”

“There must be many if you look for them.”

“Really?”

“Yeah.”

*That was nonsense*, Legion thought.

Very few people remember their past lives. There are quite a few wizards who are curious about past lives.

If they knew their past lives, they would also gain access to history and ancient magic that has become obsolete.

But so far, no wizard has claimed to know about their past life.

“That woman. You said she’s the Empress of Hell.”

“That’s what I heard.”

“Since she’s the Empress of Hell, she must live in Hell, right?”

“I guess so.”

“The Hell Realm I’ve only heard about. Is it different from the Demon Realm?”

“I don’t know either, you idiot. What are you so curious about?”

“Are you going to meet her again?”

“No. Never. So don’t ever mention ‘Monsengyeo’ in front of me again.”

“Really?”

“Really. Of course.”

“Then can you give me her contact information?”

“What?”

“If you’re not going to meet her anyway. Just give it to me… Ack. What’s wrong?”

Legion glared at Miback.

*Now he knew for sure*, Legion thought.

*This bastard is an animal.*

*He couldn’t be like this unless he was an animal.*

*It’s not something that can be solved by getting hit once or twice.*

*He needs to be hit a lot.*

Legion took out the strongest staff in his subspace.

* * *

Monsengyeo, who had escaped from the Dark Wood, looked at the pink bottle in her hand.

If she drinks this, she will be freed from the curse.

But Abraham’s words kept ringing in her ears.

“Do you really think that was a curse?”

*What does he mean?*

*If it’s not a curse, then what is it?*

*I’ve been suffering for a long time because of that hag!*

Nevertheless, Monsengyeo couldn’t bring herself to drink from the pink bottle. She wants to break the curse and return home.

Hell is a dark but beautiful place.

At least that’s what Monsengyeo thinks.

“Why aren’t you drinking it?”

The culinary demon Yamadora asked cautiously.

Monsengyeo is a gourmet. That’s why Yamadora took care of Monsengyeo the most compared to other hell demons. They also had a lot of time to talk.

Thanks to that, she knew Monsengyeo’s tendencies best.

A typical soft exterior, hard interior.

She never gives in when the opponent comes on strong. Conversely, she treats the other person the same way if they are kind.

The Queen of Hell eats humans with a fork.

The Queen of Hell puts humans in the arena for fun and enjoys the game. All the gladiators thrown into the arena are killed.

The Queen of Hell replaces men when she’s bored. The men are killed in the morning.

I don’t know why these rumors started.

It’s all lies.

There are quite a few vicious guys in Hell because she rules it. She had to be a little cruel to control them.

But she never eats humans with a fork.

In Yamadora’s eyes, Monsengyeo was quite a good woman.

She is also the best queen.

*I can’t bear to see the Queen in pain*, Yamadora thought.

That human.

Was his name Legion?

The guy who took advantage of Her Majesty.

*Should I kill him?*

However, Yamadora soon shook her head. His power was the strongest even in the human realm. Or rather, the lich he summoned was the strongest.

*My hands and feet are still trembling.*

A lich who raises a super-giant steel golem and a bone dragon. There was no such demon in Hell.

How strong is the human named Legion, who uses such a lich as a summon?

“I’m going to eat it a little later.”

Monsengyeo said.

“If you drink it now, you’ll be free from the curse.”

“That’s true, but… I don’t like this color.”

“Pink is pretty.”

“It feels ominous. I don’t think I should eat it.”

“Really?”

“My intuition is always accurate.”

If she is freed from the curse, her magic power will increase at least several times. She will be able to send her husband from her previous life away in one blow. She wanted to shout, ‘You have confessed your sins!’ while torturing him.

Ugh.

Monsengyeo grabbed the back of her neck.

“Why, what’s wrong?”

“I’m getting angry again when I think about that guy.”

“Your husband from your previous life?”

“Yeah.”

“This is also fate. How can you meet your husband from your previous life here?”

“This is God’s trick.”

“Still… After Monsengyeo met him… you seem to have regained your vitality.”

“What’s back?”

“Vitality.”

Monsengyeo looked at Yamadora with a cold gaze.

Yamadora, who met her gaze, immediately realized that she had made a mistake.

*Your Majesty was really hurt by that guy in her previous life*, Yamadora thought.

Yamadora knelt down and sincerely apologized.

“Your Majesty, I was out of line.”

“It’s okay. Go back.”

“But, Your Majesty.”

“I’ll call you when the time comes.”

“I understand.”

A dejected Yamadora returned to the Hell Realm.

When there was no one around, Monsengyeo took out a mirror and looked at her face.

“I’ve regained my vitality? Me?”

Suddenly, Legion’s sly and despicable face came to mind. Suddenly, anger surged.

Monsengyeo melted the surrounding rocks with hellfire.

“Yes, Yamadora. You saw it right. I’ve regained my vitality. If I see that guy again, I’m really going to send him to hell!”

Dreyja felt his power becoming more and more transcendental.

Especially at night, the power becomes stronger.

He can see without looking.

It was as if he was watching the ground with the eyes of a hawk in the sky.

This is extrasensory perception.

It was a different power from the abilities of a Grand Master.

It is the absolute authority that only those who become the Dark Grand General and rule the dark demons can have.

The senses are gradually heightened.

It felt like he was constantly upgrading some power within his body.

The “stepping on leaves as if flying” that he was developing became faster.

Mamma Yujiro and James, who were following behind, were falling behind. They looked at Dreyja’s back with an unbelievable expression.

What is Dreyja’s greatest strength?

It is his powerful stamina that never tires and his terrifying skill that can turn everything upside down in one blow. Was it called Dragon Slayer something?

Except that the name of the technique is so absurd, it is almost perfect in its destructiveness.

Then what are the disadvantages?

Frankly speaking, it is no exaggeration to say that there are none.

Dreyja’s balance is close to perfect.

It was no exaggeration to say that he had completed the ultimate body that martial artists desire.

Nevertheless, if I had to find one…

Wouldn’t it be speed?

No one can keep up with Dreyja’s short-distance speed. But Mamma Yujiro thought that the global speed would not be the case.

In fact, it wasn’t much of a weakness.

Because it has little to do with combat.

But he was wrong.

Even that speed breaks their common sense.

“Ssibal [Korean slang, similar to ‘shit’]. Am I seeing things wrong?”

Mamma Yujiro rubbed his eyes.

He was a 7-star martial artist. There was no way he could be seeing things wrong. An unbelievable thing was actually happening before his eyes.

“Is our lord… flying right now?”

The taciturn James said, swallowing hard.

“It really doesn’t make sense. Our lord is not a wizard. He’s a warrior. I’ve never seen a warrior fly.”

“But… look at that. His feet aren’t touching the ground.”

James pointed at Dreyja with his finger.

It’s really true.

Dreyja’s whole body gradually rose into the air and began to run in that state.

With each step, he slid dozens of meters across the ice.

Mamma Yujiro and James, who were confident in their speed, couldn’t keep up.

It was the same even if they gave it their all.

Dreyja was gradually moving away from their sight.

“Our lord… seems to have gained some enlightenment.”

“Again? He’s a Grand Master now, right? He gained enlightenment again? Does that mean he’s getting stronger?”

“I guess so.”

“Ssibal, he’s not really reaching 9-star, is he? The ultimate realm that no one has ever reached.”

“It’s more than that. I’d rather our lord reach 9-star.”

“Why? Aren’t you jealous as a fellow martial artist?”

“You can only be jealous if you’re similar. Do we even stand a chance against our lord? It’s just amazing. Of course I want to see it. How strong can a human be born?”

“Then what about our lord’s lord?”

“Legion-nim [Nim is a Korean honorific suffix]?”

“Yeah.”

“Um, should I be honest?”

“Tell me.”

“I’m on our lord’s side.”

“Of course I’m on our lord’s side too.”

“Hehehe, I hope our lord sees the ultimate of martial arts before Legion-nim.”

“Me too. But both of them are such geniuses that I can’t say who’s stronger. They’re not going to fight, are they?”

“I don’t know. I can’t guarantee that.”

“Why? Our lord thinks so highly of Legion-nim.”

“That’s that. If you really defeat all the strong people in the world…”

“If you defeat them?”

“Wouldn’t you be curious about who’s stronger? That means one of them is the strongest in humanity.”

“Hmm. It’s definitely possible.”

Both nodded.

Two men who have seen the ultimate of martial arts.

Even though they are said to be deeper than friends…

Man’s instinct may not leave them alone.

“We’re getting too ahead of ourselves. The important thing is to survive today.”

“Hehe, that’s right. Let’s speed up. Was it Bacon? Look at them. They’re running with sweat on their feet after seeing Dreyja-nim speed up.”

Mamma Yujiro smiled.

As he said, Bacon’s expression, who had witnessed Dreyja’s formidable speed, turned pale and he was running with all his might.

Mamma Yujiro turned his head and looked at Dreyja.

“Whee~!”

A whistle came out involuntarily.

He shook his head.

It seemed like he would never be able to keep up with his lord even if he died and came back to life. The first opponent to give him despair.

And the opponent who made him kneel on his own.

He had never regretted kneeling before him.

Especially when he saw such an amazing sight.

Dreyja steps on the wall.

Surprisingly, no one noticed that he stepped on the wall. The trap hidden in the wall activates.

Kukukukukung!

Hundreds of spears shot out.

Kukukukukung!

Hundreds of explosion magic exploded at the same time.

But the trap caught no one.

It was after Dreyja had already passed the trap.

The soldiers on guard looked down at the wall, but they found nothing.

Was it a malfunction? They could only tilt their heads. It was too dark at night to check the trap. They have to check it around dawn.

Dreyja, who had passed the trap, kicked the wall.

Surprisingly, his whole body soared to an unimaginable height into the sky.

Just for a moment-

He alone shines in the darkness.

“Wow!”

Mamma Yujiro and James, the exclusive servants, exclaimed without realizing it as they watched Dreyja.
