Magic Is Learned For Nothing [EN]: Chapter 417

# 418

No Rules 2

“Take this!”

Jack Nicher unleashed a series of auras.

Other warriors’ auras each have their own names. Even warriors who barely manage to create an aura are very happy and give their auras names.

Or their friends give them names.

Like the modifier ‘Crazy’ that always follows Dreiser. Some young warriors even deliberately call their aura ‘Crazy’.

It makes them look stronger, or so they say.

But Jack Nicher didn’t directly name his aura.

There was no need to name it, and he didn’t feel the necessity to do so. For him, aura was just one of the assassination techniques he had to learn to survive.

It wasn’t an honorable skill honed for money, fame, and women like the knights.

That’s why his aura is very gloomy.

Gloomy, but invisible.

Mediocre knights or warriors would have their necks cut off before they even felt Ghost’s aura.

Hence the nickname Ghost.

It was common knowledge in this field that Ghost always drew blood once Jack Nicher’s Ghost manifested.

That Ghost was flying towards Legion relentlessly.

None of them hit.

At first, he didn’t know, but when he focused his vision, he saw weak sparks around the opponent.

A barrier.

A barrier that can block aura?

It was Jack Nicher’s misunderstanding.

It’s magic defense.

It’s common sense that magic defense cannot block aura.

Of course.

Magic defense was similar to a shock-absorbing device that naturally forms on the body every time you breathe.

It’s not meant to withstand or block something.

That’s common sense, and…

Warriors of 7-star level or higher could temporarily strengthen their magic defense much more.

Someone like Don Deckman could even temporarily block flying blades with magic defense.

Unfortunately, his closest friend, Jack Nicher, didn’t know that fact.

He didn’t even dream that the bizarre armor Don Deckman was wearing was a magic defense, thinking it was just a simple barrier.

It was the same for Don Deckman. He still didn’t realize it was the armor’s ability, not his own.

Because of that…

He didn’t know what kind of magic defense warriors of similar level to them used.

How many years have they been on the run?

He even had the delusion that all the races in the world were chasing them. Then he barely escaped to the mountains and farmed. Living in the countryside, he didn’t have time to think about magic defense in detail.

He just did eco-friendly organic farming, and it became a huge hit.

They were receiving royalties for the first time in their lives and traveling leisurely overseas.

If it hadn’t been for that dim-witted prince, they wouldn’t have done such a reckless thing.

Anyway, he didn’t think that what was forming around Legion was magic defense.

“Is he a wizard?”

Again, a misunderstanding.

This becomes a painful move for him.

“Shall we attack with arrows?”

The mercenaries asked Jack Nicher.

“No. I’ll go.”

Jack Nicher shook his head and jumped down from the 5th floor, landing lightly.

Kneeling on one knee.

The thud was heard up to the 5th floor. The mercenaries frowned as if their knees were broken.

It must hurt a lot.

Jack Nicher still has a blank face.

I am a 6-star warrior.

This much doesn’t hurt.

He slowly raised his upper body. His knees creaked.

He walks forward.

His knees buckle without him realizing it. He almost fell. He sincerely regretted it.

Why did I follow Don Deckman?

He forcibly endured the throbbing pain in his knees and approached Legion.

The distance between them quickly narrowed.

Jack Nicher quickly scanned the three men. The ones behind the handsome man standing in front don’t need attention.

They are trash.

How dare they step out of line when they can’t even last one hit.

He only needs to be careful of that handsome man.

That pretty face.

Hands smoother than a woman’s.

He probably hasn’t held a sword in his life. He probably doesn’t even know how to hold it.

Judging from the skill of blocking the aura a little while ago, he’s probably around mid-4th circle [a measure of magical power].

Probably a noble.

A handsome appearance and high status that even he finds amazing. It’s obvious how much people around him have praised him like a prince.

You are a genius. No one has achieved such great things at your age. I want to live for you, etc.

I bet your nose is sky-high.

I’m sorry, but that face of yours…

Will return as a rotten corpse.

Jack Nicher’s lips twisted bitterly. His pace quickens.

Soon he picks up speed.

He’s experienced battles with wizards to the point of being sick of it. Wizards try to widen the distance from the beginning. They will focus on long-range bombardment.

Even if lightning strikes continuously, it’s dangerous even for him.

The armor he’s wearing isn’t cheap. But it wasn’t an expensive brand either.

What he is wearing is a mid-to-low-priced brand.

The gauntlets are Adidas, the ankle protectors are Prospecs, and the shoes are Naiko.

All have resistance to magic, but cannot block more than 4th circle.

It’s mid-to-low-priced, but it was quite a high level of protection. Ordinary knights cannot easily afford it with their salaries.

In fact, Jack Nicher is capable of buying more expensive brands, but it was more accurate to say that he couldn’t throw away the armor he bought with his own money for the first time and was still using it.

He couldn’t spend money carelessly while living for his mother, sisters, and aunts.

The guilt about them having to live that way because of money subtly made him a cheapskate.

Expensive brands like Chanel, Beverly, Fenda, and Moet Chandon block magic of 5th circle or higher.

The difference between 5th circle and 4th circle is huge.

Even ten 4th circle spells are weaker than one 5th circle spell.

That is luxury!

Luxury stores that only VIPs can enter even in department stores!

Jack Nicher is qualified.

Nevertheless, he still used mid-to-low-priced brands.

Peace of mind or whatever, it was clearly arrogance.

It was because he hadn’t met a true strongman.

Jack Nicher still didn’t realize who he had met.

His whole body leaped up.

Instantly narrowing the distance that was dozens of meters.

“Use it. Magic. You little punk.”

Formless aura was generated in five directions from Jack Nicher’s dagger.

If his aura could be materialized, people would have exclaimed and applauded.

Unfortunately, there is no audience.

Legion frowned slightly as he looked at such Jack Nicher.

Jack Nicher could read Legion’s expression ‘accurately’.

You little punk, you’re scared.

Don’t worry.

I’ll cut your neck off in an instant.

The formless aura, stretching out like the necks of an invisible hydra, fell like lightning on Legion’s head.

Jack Nicher knelt on one knee behind Legion and landed coolly.

Kukukukukung!

His neck would have been cut off in an instant.

Hehehe.

Hehehehe…

Wait a minute…

Dangling instead of Kukukukung?

It wasn’t the sound effect he wanted.

He quickly turned his head and looked at Legion.

“Uh, uh, uh?”

His aura disappeared without a trace.

How on earth?

He didn’t see what happened because he jumped down from behind the guy.

I thought he would have gone in one hit. What happened in that short time?

Curiosity surged.

He still didn’t think he was at a disadvantage at all.

He generated aura from his dagger again. It had much stronger magic power than before.

If he concentrated his magic power to this extent, even Don Deckman would feel danger.

“I don’t know what trick you used to ‘barely’ avoid my sword a little while ago… But it won’t be easy this time. I’ll keep my eyes wide open and cut out your heart.”

Jack Nicher stretched out his sword straight, without doubting his skills at all.

The aura stretched straight out towards Legion’s heart without playing any tricks.

Legion then raised his hand.

Jack Nicher snorted.

Too late.

Are you trying to cast now?

I don’t know how fast you can cast, but you can’t block an aura that is faster than light.

That’s what he thought.

But…

Uh?

What the heck is this?

The aura couldn’t pierce the opponent’s heart. It wasn’t that it couldn’t pierce it.

It was completely blocked by the opponent’s palm. Does the opponent have a luxury brand gauntlet on his hand?

That wasn’t it either.

It’s just bare hands.

The opponent grips his palm.

Then the blow of confidence bloomed and scattered like air bubbles.

“N, no way!”

An impossible thing happened.

An aura that can easily cut steel like tofu is disintegrated by a human hand?

Without armor?

It was logically impossible.

You can’t block aura with a human body.

That was common sense that everyone knew.

So the situation a little while ago should not have happened.

Jack Nicher is flustered because he encountered an unrealistic event. Suddenly, all sorts of questions mixed in his head.

Was I really dealing with a wizard? Or is it another being?

That’s right.

We also have irrational beings. Like Preitia. Is that guy like that too?

No.

Why would a dragon do that? Going around buying cigarettes like the neighbor!

Jack Nicher, who came to his senses, tried to attack Legion again.

But!

He doesn’t move at all.

“Eeeeeek!”

It was the same even if he moved his arms. Legs, neck…

“W, what are you guys?”

“What do you mean? Have you never seen a skeleton before?”

The skeleton squad leader and the most powerful skeleton squad members grabbed and clung to his whole body. Jack Nicher couldn’t move no matter what he did because of how strong they were.

“What the heck are these things?”

“Didn’t you hear? They’re skeletons. Have you never seen them before?”

It was absurd.

He’s seen a lot of low-level undead skeletons. The ones that occasionally get lost in the mountains and wander around making ‘heeheehee’ sounds are mostly skeletons.

They have no consciousness and only search for instinct, spreading their arms and wandering around the mountains. You shouldn’t be afraid and run away when you see those skeletons. They are weaker than you think.

People are just scared and run away from the skeletons that suddenly appear and stink. If you’re unlucky and get caught, you’ll really die.

When you meet a skeleton in the mountains, first stay calm.

You shouldn’t move rashly.

The skeleton has no eyes. It can’t see. It searches for vitality with instinct and wanders around the mountains.

Carefully hide behind a tree. Then the skeleton will miss the vitality and go somewhere else.

If you have a weapon, blow its head off. Skeletons are inferior to ordinary adults in overall ability.

This is how to deal with skeletons.

But these skeletons are talking.

Very naturally.

Not only that, but their strength is enormous. Even with his ability using magic power, he couldn’t escape from the skeletons’ strength.

“Why, why are you so strong? Keuheuk.”

“We do 3 quarters each of bench press, dumbbell chest press, pull-ups, barbell row, squats, leg press, dumbbell shoulder press, etc.”

“……”

Jack Nicher was speechless.

What nonsense are these crazy skeletons talking about?

“Hey, hey, stay still. The boss is coming.”

“The boss?”

“Yeah, the boss.”

Jack Nicher immediately realized who the boss the skeletons were talking about was.

Legion was coming, shaking off his fist.

“Hey, hold him straight. Don’t move either. Your eyeballs will burst if you get hit wrong.”

Legion smiled and threw a fist at Jack Nicher.

N, no way…
