Magic is Learned for Nothing – 460
# 460
The Absolute Nihility Banquet 2
The matches continued, and Mibeak’s victory concluded the first day of the Yeongji Strongest Tournament.
Mibeak shared his thoughts on the match:
“Hello. I’m Mibeak, running the Mibeak Plastic Surgery Magic Academy. First, please call our Mibeak Plastic Surgery Magic Academy! Just call, and you’ll get a free drink coupon! If you visit, we’ll safely escort you to your doorstep in a top-class carriage. 120 percent satisfaction! You all know? Even the Lord [Duke Legione] became handsome after receiving plastic surgery magic?”
Most people didn’t know.
It was revealed far and wide that Legione had undergone plastic surgery magic thanks to Mibeak.
“What? I thought it was just a rumor, but our Lord is really a plastic surgery monster?”
“Oh, I’m disappointed. I thought he was natural. I need to reconsider creating a fan cafe.”
Undeterred, Mibeak continued to share his thoughts on passing the first round of the main competition.
“Don’t you all want to become handsome like the Lord? Don’t you want to become incredibly beautiful? Please visit our Plastic Surgery Magic Academy. Students get a 20 percent discount!”
“Get that person out of here! What are you even doing?”
The host, Rohas, shouted at the mounted soldiers.
“Everybody! Until the day everyone becomes handsome and beautiful! Please find me!”
Mibeak continued to promote the Plastic Surgery Magic Academy even as he was being dragged out.
Many people thought that his obsession with money was even greater than the Lord’s.

In fact, all 32 matches were strangely anticlimactic.
It was like…
Similar to the opening match between Duke Legione and Forse.
Everyone was hasty.
They all had expressions of being chased by something. They wanted to finish the matches quickly.
As a result, big techniques exploded from the beginning.
It looks cool.
But shouldn’t the opponent block it with a big technique as well? The opponent put strength somewhere else.
Instead of using a defensive technique, they put strength elsewhere.
Of course, their strength was insufficient to block it.
The spectators were so disappointed that they lost all energy.
Shuttle and Mibeak, who were far from being considered championship contenders, received the most applause for their struggles.
However, not all matches were anticlimactic.
The matches of Dreizeher, the top favorite for the championship, and Rich Mamon, the second favorite, were not.
“Today’s schedule is all finished. The matches ended earlier than expected, right?”
Caster Pirania asked.
“That’s right. Most matches ended within 1-3 minutes. The longest match was 10 minutes. It was Shuttle’s match.”
“Yes, that’s right. Shuttle summoned 100 skeleton soldiers, filling the arena, and his exclusive servant, Poop, was pushed out and fell. It was an absurd defeat.”
“There were also matches that ended quickly but had a huge impact, right?”
“Yes, that’s right. Dreizeher and Rich Mamon’s matches were like that. Since the previous matches ended early, we will replay Dreizeher and Rich Mamon’s matches. Let’s watch it again.”
Dreizeher’s opponent was Amadeus, the chieftain of the Amazon Orc tribe.
She didn’t stop training even after giving birth to Prometheus.
Zenon monopolized childcare, so she could comfortably earn money, hunt, and train.
So, even though she was quite old for an Orc, her burning muscles didn’t fade.
Even she was nervous about facing Dreizeher. She was at least in the rankings.
It would be nice to receive a carriage as a prize, but she wasn’t confident.
Her son-in-law, Forse, was stronger than her.
She quietly said to her daughter.
“If Forse doesn’t participate in this tournament, I can aim for 3rd place.”
“Mom, I’m sorry. I’m married out. Our goal is also 3rd place.”
Wretched girl! Damned girl!
How did I raise you?
That’s how Amadeus ended up facing Dreizeher. Prometheus insisted on participating as well, but the management committee refused.
Under 12 years old are not allowed to participate.
Many people who knew Prometheus were greatly relieved that he wasn’t participating.
No matter how much genetic factors played a role, Prometheus was beyond common sense.
People prayed: Please, at least get a good education and don’t become a Demon King.
“Mom! Fighting! The opponent is Dreizeher, but you can’t lose! Mom is strong too!”
Prometheus clenched both fists and cheered for his mother.
“Okay, I will.”
Amadeus smiled gently at Prometheus.
It wasn’t the usual fierce and grim expression. It was the warm face of a mother looking at her only son.
Amadeus went up to the ring first and waited for Dreizeher.
Taking a deep breath.
She doesn’t think she can beat him.
He is an 8-star warrior.
She was at most a 6-star level. Of course, she can’t deny that 6-star is a very high level, but it can’t be compared to 8-star.
8-star is the dream level, Grand Master.
There are not even more than ten Grand Masters in the entire continent.
Grand Master defeated by a 6-circle warrior? It was a problem that could not happen and should not happen.
But Amadeus never gave up.
Her son is watching.
She was going to show her son how wonderfully she lost, even if she lost.
What she wants to teach her son is not how to lose wonderfully.
-Never give up in any situation!
She wanted to teach him that.
Okay. Come on! Dreizeher!
She doesn’t back down easily.
Amadeus awakened her fighting spirit.
“Wow! Amazing. As expected of the Queen of the Amazon tribe. Look at that fighting spirit! The strongest fighting spirit of the same level! Do you see it? Do you see the fighting spirit taking shape on Amadeus’s back? Amazing! It won’t be easy even for Dreizeher. Amadeus is showing off her ultimate fighting spirit.”
Pirania was surprised and said, spitting.
“Dreizeher enters just in time.”
Dreizeher was no different from Amadeus. He just walked casually and arrived at the ring.
The audience thought, is Dreizeher’s condition not good?
The betting rate between Dreizeher and Amadeus is 120:1. In other words, if Amadeus wins, it’s a jackpot.
Some gamblers who bet on Amadeus just in case shouted Jiwhaja [a Korean expression of hitting the jackpot] in their hearts.
But-
Amadeus’s expression looking at Dreizeher was not good. It gradually distorted, and when Dreizeher came to the ring, it turned completely black.
What is it? What is it?
Amadeus vaguely sees Dreizeher’s true form.
Something with overwhelming power flows out of Dreizeher.
What she is subtly feeling is the power of the Dark Great General.
Through 30 years of training in the desert room, Dreizeher was able to exert 120 percent of the Dark Great General’s power.
Dreizeher doesn’t need armor now.
He makes the opponent’s attack useless from the beginning with just his will, not magic defense.
Dreizeher also-
Reached the level of Super Grand Master.
Amadeus thought Dreizeher was an 8-star.
She vowed several times that she would not back down easily, no matter how great the Grand Master was.
It was overconfidence.
She was too cocky.
That thought itself was arrogance.
Dreizeher was in a much higher place than she could think of.
“Amadeus, long time no see. Well, shall we fight?”
Dreizeher clenched one fist tightly.
Other knights have aura rising from their fists. But Dreizeher was gathering aura in his hand.
Is that possible?
If you do that, your hand will be shattered.
He does such a thing with a smile as if it were nothing.
If…….
If that condensed aura is directed at her?
Amadeus saw a vision of her body being divided into hundreds of pieces.
This is a friendly match.
There was no reason for Dreizeher to kill her like that.
She also knows that he won’t kill her.
Nevertheless, Amadeus was terribly shocked.
“Hoo.”
Amadeus took a deep breath and turned to her son.
Prometheus’s expression was also not good.
The boy, who was only 7 years old, felt the energy that the many strong people gathered here did not feel.
Dreizeher, seen in the eyes of a boy who was born with strength, was a demon, a Demon King, and the closest being to God.
He is invincible.
He has grown up without any obstacles.
Everyone loved him and accepted all kinds of mischief. It was true that he was a little rude.
But as soon as the boy saw Dreizeher, he immediately realized how protected he had been living.
He had never imagined that such a monster existed.
His huge energy was gradually eating away at his mother’s fighting spirit.
Mom can never win.
“It’s okay, Mom.”
Prometheus smiled brightly with a face that looked like he was about to cry.
“Sorry. I think Mom was a little overconfident.”
“It’s okay. I’ll punish Dreizeher when I grow up later.”
“I feel good just hearing that. Okay. Son. You have to punish Dreizeher?”
“Yeah, I know.”
Amadeus, who smiled gently, raised her hand to Rohas, the host and referee.
“I give up.”
* * *
Prometheus, who was watching the game, was keenly aware of how much he had lived in a well.
He boasts unrivaled power in the academy. Even the knight class students who are several grades higher avoid Prometheus when they see him.
Friends said to Prometheus.
“You are one of the top ten strongest in the territory.”
“That’s right. Even adults run away when they see you. There has never been anyone in the history of the territory who has created aura as quickly as you.”
“That’s right. That’s right. I guarantee that you will win the title of the strongest in the territory when you turn 15.”
“Hey, don’t joke around. There are many strong people in our territory. Even my brother-in-law (Forse) is incredibly strong.”
While saying that, Prometheus inwardly thought that he would soon take the title of the strongest in the territory.
But after watching today’s game, that thought was shattered.
The games were strangely twisted, but….
Everyone who participated in the game was stronger than him. There was not a single person weaker than him.
He didn’t know because the adults were too pretty, too pretty. He didn’t know how scary they would be if they showed their true skills.
And the boy-
Following Dreizeher, he witnesses a shocking scene.
“Well, this game is also highly anticipated. Jo Nane.”
“Yes, Pirania.”
“Objectively speaking, how many people can compete for the title of the strongest in the territory?”
“Um, Dreizeher, who you saw a little while ago, the guardian deity of the territory, Sephia, Forse, Bacon, there are many. And you can’t leave him out.”
“Who is it?”
“That power that everyone fears. He annihilates the enemy with overwhelming black magic in one blow. I dare to call him this.”
“How?”
“Lich King.”
“Wow, Lich King?”
“Yes, that’s right. He is the most suitable for the Lich King. Now, the Lich King Mamon is appearing.”
When the name Mamon came out of the caster’s mouth, the cheers from the audience reached their peak.
The game between Dreizeher and Amadeus ended too easily.
But no one thought the game was bland. In a very short moment, no one could breathe.
Some older people couldn’t overcome the extreme tension and had heart problems and collapsed.
Fortunately, temple paramedics were stationed nearby, so they were able to save the elderly safely.
The only people who can compete with Dreizeher are Lich Mamon and Sephia.
The two games are over, and finally, the Lich Mamon appears.
Dreizeher is popular with knights and warriors.
Sephia is strangely popular with children.
Lich Mamon is wildly popular with Otakus [a Japanese term for people with obsessive interests, particularly in anime and manga].
“Waaaaa! Lich King! Lich King!”
“Lich King! Lich King!”
The cheering was so enthusiastic that it seemed excessive.
“Damn it, why is my opponent Mamon.”
On the other hand, Rice, who was facing Lich Mamon, was dying.
There was also an analysis that he would be the first Sword Master among the regular soldiers.
In fact, Abdul Jabbar, Beef, and Rice were showing tremendous skill improvement while competing with each other.
But they couldn’t imagine being able to beat Lich Mamon, one of their instructors.
“The duty of a disciple is to surpass the master! This time, I will show Mamon how much I have grown.”
Rice decided to do his best from the beginning. He converts all mana into magic power. A powerful magic defense enveloped his entire body.
“Come on! Lich King!”
But Lich Mamon did not appear.
What is it? Why doesn’t he appear?
That’s strange. What is it?
Only then did Rice realize that something was wrong.
He can’t hear any sounds around him. He looked around.
His senses are strange.
The audience seats look distorted.
His eyes started spinning. He couldn’t hear anyone’s voice.
And-
It’s coming.
I can feel it.
I can feel it!
Gulp.
In front of his eyes…….
A huge malice was swirling like a storm.
Ugh! What is that!
