Magic Is Learned For Nothing [EN]: Chapter 446

# 447

Awakening 3

Vassarabab and John Wick couldn’t close their gaping mouths.

The Legion they knew was strong. Who would say they weren’t? They were really strong. Yes, they admitted it.

They thought that Legion would be among the top five people in the kingdom who could compete one-on-one with the Demon King, who only appeared in legends.

They thought so, but…

Honestly, it was hard to even guess how strong Legion really was.

On the surface, Legion’s personality seemed light.

He seemed playful and carefree.

Because of his dazzling appearance, there was also a prejudice that he was a huge playboy.

There was a feeling that he was sowing seeds everywhere, and someday hundreds of children would show up saying, “You’re my dad! Do a paternity test and divide the property!”

But!

He was stronger than expected.

They thought he was successful thanks to the performance of Crazy Draisher, the vassal of Duke Legion, and the Sword Demon King Bacon, but that wasn’t the only reason.

He himself was unbelievably strong.

Vassarabab said to John Wick with a subtly dismissive look. “Did you just figure that out?”

But Vassarabab didn’t know the true depth of Legion either.

He thought Legion could use early 8-star level martial power and early 8-circle level magic.

Even that was impressive.

There had never been a transcendent human in the history of the kingdom who used magic and aura to the 8-star and 8-circle level at the same time.

Vassarabab couldn’t even imagine anything beyond that. That was how he assessed Legion’s maximum ability.

So he was able to withstand the Demon King’s overwhelming attack power.

But…

Legion was still hiding his skills. (He didn’t know that Legion had achieved an overwhelming power-up due to his fourth puberty.)

John Wick and the knights were prepared to die.

They had no confidence in defeating the Stone Head Church’s converts, whose stats had greatly increased due to Viagra.

Even if the numbers were similar, battles weren’t just about that.

But he annihilated them all in one blow.

It was hard to tell who was the absolute evil.

Look at Count Annabelle’s smug face.

They wanted to spit on his face. But they couldn’t because they didn’t have the ability.

That feeling disappeared.

They felt sorry for him.

Was that why Count Annabelle cried out towards the sky in the rain so desperately, wanting to die like that?

Without even making a peep, he was going to die.

Swish! Swish!

Count Annabelle, who had become a lump of meat, breathed roughly. His face was completely crushed. One of his eyes had burst, leaving only one.

It was like…

It was like Tteokgalbi [a grilled short rib patty], a famous dish from the southern region.

It was a miracle that he was still alive after being in that state.

That damn bastard shed tears. He said with a blurry look.

“Kill me! Kill me!”

“Please! Please kill me!”

His intention was clear, but Vassarabab and John Wick didn’t do anything.

The knights didn’t seem to want to either.

They couldn’t help but feel sorry for his ugly appearance, but when they thought about what he had done, anger surged again. He deserved to be in that state.

A traitor who betrayed his country.

Kukukukung!

A huge explosion occurred.

Vassarabab, John Wick, and the knights raised their magic defense and covered their faces.

Thousands of degrees of heat sizzled before their eyes.

The Demon King had directly used his power against Legion.

Legion looked at the Six Armor Saint War Demon Johnkka, engulfed in flames. His eyes were so cold.

The surrounding air seemed to represent his feelings. The flames quickly subsided and turned into ice crystals.

The Demon King’s expression, which had not shown any emotion until now, changed slightly.

He had an “oh” expression.

“Do you want to die in the sky or on the ground?”

Legion said to the Demon King.

The Demon King beckoned Legion with his finger. “Don’t be a fool and come up here.”

Legion twisted his lips and smirked.

At that moment!

An amazing thing happened.

With a bang! Legion appeared right in front of the Demon King’s nose.

Surprisingly, he moved faster than the speed of sound. No one here noticed Legion’s movement.

The legendary technique of ‘leaving an afterimage and going far away’ unfolded.

Legion’s afterimage was still in front of their eyes. Soon, it gradually scattered like the mist rising from the river.

“It’s my first time meeting you, but I’m really sick of the Demon Realm bastards. I’ll make you disappear forever!”

Legion’s fist struck the Demon King’s abdomen.

The Demon King snorted and formed a barrier with his sixth hand.

-Cheoncheon Nuru Hwangga Cauldron Scorched Rice!

The super-powerful barrier covered the Demon King’s entire body. It was the best magic that no one had ever penetrated.

It was several levels above the Diamond Shield or Iron Shield cast by a high-level mage.

Maybe it wasn’t magic.

It could be a unique technique that only the demons could use.

The Demon King’s barrier that even Lich Mamon, Daganda Z, and Bone Dragon couldn’t penetrate.

Crack!

It broke in one blow.

Legion’s fist, which broke the barrier, pierced the Demon King’s abdomen.

The Demon King felt extreme pain and lowered his head to look at his stomach.

It was gone.

His internal organs had disappeared.

He looked at Legion as if he couldn’t believe it. “What the hell are you? Are you the same guy from before?”

Legion shrugged his shoulders.

“I haven’t even started yet, you bastard!”

He was a Super Grand Master.

He broke through the limits at once and became a 9-circle, 9-star level master.

Realistically, the strongest warrior in the kingdom was Legion.

The current Legion couldn’t beat Lich Mamon, Draisher, or Sephia.

That’s how much Legion’s stats had increased beyond imagination due to his fourth puberty.

Legion’s fist moved.

One shot!

Bang!

It was like an explosion magic was exploding. The power was at least 15 times greater than explosion magic.

Another shot!

Bang!

Ten more shots!

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

Hundred more shots!

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

Legion’s fists flew out like a machine gun, so fast that they couldn’t even be seen.

It wasn’t a proper punch.

He was just throwing punches quickly.

Even so, the Demon King couldn’t block the simple punches.

Surprisingly, the Demon King’s limbs were crushed by the simple punches.

Swish!

Even in the pouring rain, Vassarabab and John Wick could clearly see Legion’s desperate fight.

One of the Six Armor Saints who ruled the Demon Realm was being broken so futilely.

Of course, the demons and demon kings summoned from the Demon Realm had their original power limited to about 1/10.

They didn’t like being limited in power.

God had decided so.

“Don’t invade our dimension. If you invade, we have to match the balance, so we’ll lower your combat power to a similar level.”

So when people from the Demon Realm, Hell, or Heaven descended to the human world, their stats were greatly reduced.

Even so, they were strong.

The probability of one human defeating a demon king was less than 0.001 percent.

That’s how different the original stats of life in the human world and life in other dimensions were.

But…

Rather, Legion was overwhelming the Demon King as if he had popped out of the Demon Realm.

“It’s terrifying.”

John Wick’s voice trembled. He swore. He would never call Duke Legion a great traitor again.

He would definitely tell his friends. If they jokingly called Duke Legion a great traitor, they could disappear without a trace.

Duke Legion had the ability to hear daytime words and nighttime words.

His friends would say he was lying.

Then he would tell them to try it.

To see if they disappeared or not.

If he said this much, they would understand. If they intervened and disappeared, wouldn’t their lives be ruined?

“But I have a question.”

“What is it?”

Vassarabab seemed relieved by Legion’s performance. He sat down, his tension a little relieved. His butt was very wet, but he didn’t care.

The knights carefully collected Rosemary’s body as much as possible.

They were at a loss as to how to explain Rosemary’s death.

It was obvious that the Shijinpi Duke faction would raise their gears even more and attack them because of this incident.

The future was by no means smooth.

“Is Duke Legion at an advantage?”

“It seems like the sky is helping us. The monsters are also extremely embarrassed. The guys who attacked the humans are gathering in one place. It seems like they’re going to attack Duke Legion all at once.”

“Can Duke Legion withstand it?”

“Duke Legion doesn’t need to withstand it.”

“Yes? What do you mean by that?”

“Doesn’t Duke Legion have the strongest summoner?”

“Ah, are you talking about that Lich from before? He’s just big, but he doesn’t seem very reliable.”

“He’s an 8-circle.”

“Yes?”

“That Lich, who you said looks useless, uses black magic up to the 8th circle.”

“T, that’s ridiculous…”

“Do you still not believe it?”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Everything related to Duke Legion is incomprehensible. Don’t be bound by common sense. Just accept it with your heart and interpret it with your head later. Throw away all the common sense you had from the beginning.”

“So… is Duke Legion a great person?”

“He’s great. He’s the best man I’ve seen in my eighty years of life.”

What does this mean?

It’s not that he’s a talent to be king, nor is he a genius.

“Don’t you understand?”

“No.”

“It’s literal. He’s a better man than any other man in the world. He’s a guy who lives for that. The unfortunate thing is that he doesn’t know that he’s such a great man.”

“He’s that strong?”

“He’s strong, but he doesn’t seem interested.”

“Will the kingdom be reorganized around Duke Legion?”

“Why? Are you going to get in line with Duke Legion?”

“……”

John Wick didn’t say anything.

The fate of all knights is determined by which lord they serve.

Even the famous Marquis Porse was like that. He was in a state of disappearance.

But if he had been alive and participated in domestic affairs, he would have gone to prison or been beheaded.

One of the kingdom’s seven strongest.

His three generations were wiped out for the crime of choosing the wrong lord. [referring to being on the losing side of a political conflict]

That was the fate of the knights. Therefore, which lord the knights served was the most important thing in their lives.

“Serve him.”

“Yes?”

“Serve him as your lord. I’ll vouch for you.”

“Please vouch for me when I get a mortgage loan. There’s no need to vouch for things like that.”

“Hmm, is that so?”

“But is it okay to proceed with the story this quickly? Shouldn’t we fight the Demon King for at least 10 episodes to increase the tension?”

“It’s okay. I like this better. Anyway, the author has the ending all in his head. It’s not bad to proceed a little faster. There will be disadvantages too.”

“What are the disadvantages?”

“The screen time of the performers will be greatly reduced. It can’t be helped. It’s been reduced by half. All the characters that will come out in the future have terminated their contracts. They won’t be able to come out anyway.”

“I feel like you’ve only expanded the world view for nothing.”

“Well, it can’t be helped. I hope we can create another protagonist in our world.”

“Tell the author to create a protagonist who shares the same world view.”

“He said he’s writing a modern story.”

“A modern story?”

“Yeah.”

“Ah, I really don’t like the author. He should have gone up to 800 episodes with conviction. He has no backbone. No backbone.”

“Shh, shh. Don’t say that. The author has better ears than Legion. He might be listening to your words somewhere.”

“Ah, I’m sorry.”

“I think it’s too late. Maybe today is our last meeting.”

“W, what do you mean?”

“There are too many characters who can’t appear right now. I don’t think I can take care of you. I’m sorry.”

“W, wait a minute. I was wrong.”

“You should say that to the author, not me.”

“Where is the author?”

“He’s probably looking down on you from somewhere.”

“Ah, no! I have a wife and children at home. Author! Please don’t abandon me. I want to survive to the end in ‘Magic is Learned for Nothing’. I don’t want to be like Sarah Connor, that woman.”

John Wick knelt down. And he said pleadingly.

“The compression of the story! It was very natural. If you hadn’t said this, no one would have known. It’s the best development. It’s a crazy development. Never! Never! You are an author who will remain in humanity. You have to do interviews and go on TV. You have to sit with Sohn Seok-hee [a famous South Korean journalist] and discuss the novel. No, you can even call the president’s teacher. I respect your ability like crazy.”

Someone brought him a letter. It was a white envelope with nothing written on it.

-John Wick’s disposition is temporarily suspended.

Ah, I’m alive.

“Thank you. Thank you.”

John Wick held the letter tightly and bowed his head several times to the invisible author.
