Magic Is Learned For Nothing [EN]: Chapter 467

Magic is Learned in Vain – Episode 468

# 468

When a Sword Master Meets a Transcendent Grand Master… (1)

The breaths of Nubyeonubyeo and Bibyeobibyeo, who succeeded in enlightenment [achieved a higher level of understanding and power], are on a different level from the breaths of other wyverns.

To put it simply, if the breaths of wyverns are like pebbles thrown by a child, the breaths of Nubyeonubyeo and Bibyeobibyeo are like steel bars dropped from the height of a 50-story building.

You don’t die when hit by a pebble.

But if you are hit by a steel bar dropped from the height of a 50-story building, you will be smashed so badly that you won’t even be able to find the body.

Nubyeonubyeo’s wife said while watching the destructive power of the breath.

-How nice would it be if he were as good at night as he is now. He’s turning into a rabbit as he gets older… geez.

Nubyeonubyeo doesn’t know his wife’s sorrows.

He doesn’t know that she is poking his thigh with a needle while he is snoring every night.

-Are you sleepy? Are you sleepy?

That she is repeating those words.

Nubyeonubyeo, who doesn’t know that, confidently fired his breath.

With a ‘Swaaek!’ sound, a single fireball-shaped flame bullet popped out. The flame bullet, which flew at the speed of sound, hit the anti-aircraft gun.

At that moment!

Kukukukukung!

It wasn’t just the anti-aircraft gun that exploded.

About six or seven anti-aircraft guns were caught in the explosion in a chain reaction. The shells loaded inside the anti-aircraft guns exploded, creating a huge flame.

“Whoa! What is this?”

Legion asked in surprise.

-Transformed Wyvern Breath.

“How did you do it?”

-How did I do it? It’s just a chain explosion. It’s called Wyvern Napalm Breath!

“I don’t know what it is, but it’s damn awesome.”

-Hehehe, I agree. It’s awesome even when I see it.

In reality, it looked like the side of an aircraft carrier had been torn off by a single breath.

Bibyeobibyeo’s breath penetrates through the torn gap.

Unlike Nubyeonubyeo’s breath, it was a penetrating breath like a laser beam.

Bibyeobibyeo’s breath, which flew at an incredible speed, made the inside of the aircraft carrier a mess.

Kwakwakwakwang!

The deck of the aircraft carrier was torn off by the explosion. Countless soldiers were caught in the explosion and fell hundreds of meters to the ground without parachutes.

-Now is the time, President Le.

“Thank you.”

Nubyeonubyeo stuck to the aircraft carrier as close as possible.

Legion jumped off Nubyeonubyeo’s back and landed lightly on the deck.

Dreyza followed him.

-Good luck.

Dududududu!

Nubyeonubyeo and Bibyeobibyeo avoided the anti-aircraft guns and ascended straight away. They won’t move far away from the aircraft carrier, but they won’t approach until they are called.

Legion glanced around. It’s all full of black smoke.

The battle between the Wyvern Squadron and the Imperial Army’s 1st Fleet was fiercely unfolding.

The wyverns, who had used up all their magic bullets, hurriedly returned to the captured battleships to reload their ammunition and returned.

But there was no feeling that either side was superior.

The troops on both sides are being consumed little by little.

That’s why Legion risked sneaking onto the aircraft carrier. It was the development he hated the most.

At this rate, both sides will be ruined.

Then who would like it the most?

Probably that archbishop or whatever, that bastard who is smirking.

I can’t stand seeing that bastard happy.

If you lose, you have to fill it in [make up for it].

Isn’t that right?

“Well, shall we go?”

“Let’s do that.”

Legion and Dreyza moved towards the aircraft carrier’s bridge.

Dozens of assault rangers, who had confirmed their infiltration, rushed out with swords.

The rangers’ eyes are full of vigor.

“Dreyza.”

“Why are you calling me?”

“I’m hungry.”

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

“I don’t have any strength, so you do it.”

“Oh my, what a thing [what a pain/burden].”

Dreyza smiled and stepped forward.

Legion carefully watched Dreyza’s back. He also knew that Dreyza had broken through the 9-star level.

He reached Transcendent Grand Master.

Even with his own abilities, he couldn’t guess Dreyza’s magic power.

Probably beyond imagination.

That’s why I’m curious.

Dreyza and Lich Mamon.

You guys showed off in front of me.

Now my era is gone and your era has come.

Okay, let’s see your skills.

Before Legion’s thoughts were over-

Nearly a hundred assault rangers collapsed with a ‘Ack!’ sound.

Legion frowned slightly.

He knows what kind of magic Dreyza performed. He also knew the realm not long ago.

If you transcend magic power, you can convert it into an intangible ability.

Magic power above magic power.

That is Transcendent Magic!

It is to completely control the energy of all living things that enter his radius. Ordinary people who enter Transcendent Magic cannot even breathe properly.

Transcendent Grand Master emits Transcendent Magic?

If he wanted to, he could enter an infantry corps and annihilate them just by emitting Transcendent Magic.

Dreyza glanced at Legion.

His expression is asking, How is it? Can you do this?

Legion gave him the middle finger.

“You’re so great.”

For some reason, my stomach hurts.

* * *

Battleship Legion.

It’s not that Legion named it. He likes to step forward, but he doesn’t do things that make his face known like this. He also knows what is embarrassing.

But his subordinates insisted that the lord’s name must be attached to the first battleship.

“I don’t like it. It’s embarrassing.”

Legion said.

“Okay. It’s decided. We will attach the lord’s name to the battleship.”

“Didn’t you hear me? I said I don’t like it.”

“Okay, everyone, start working. Don’t forget to put up the Alexander family’s flag. Let’s make the color of the battleship black. So that it can’t be seen at all at night.”

“Hey! Silkeat!”

“Okay, okay, there’s no time. The moment our Legion ship flies into the sky, the majesty of the Alexander family will also soar.”

“Are you ignoring me!”

The workers are only focused on their work.

Legion was dumbfounded.

Ah, now my dignity is gone.

Legion was sad and drank alcohol.

The Legion battleship has not only changed its appearance. Bidet and Stove Jobs completely upgraded the battleship. With their abilities, they cannot keep up with the Empire’s mechanized magic. The firepower does not reach the weapons they made.

However, they were able to improve the performance of the engine and increase the output by more than 20% compared to its original capacity.

In that way, the battleship Legion and four ships carried the maximum number of troops and chased the Imperial Army.

“Everyone, prepare. I can see the tails of the enemies [we’re closing in on the enemy].”

Rice said to the troops waiting.

Only 1,000 troops.

The enemy is an 800,000-strong army.

No matter how desperately they are retreating, it is impossible to hit 800,000 with 1,000 [to significantly impact such a large force with so few soldiers].

They think it’s impossible, but Legion tells them to do it.

The lord tells them to do it, so what can they do?

It is a canyon where even a small number of troops can fight the enemies. The Royal Army’s 3rd Infantry Corps was annihilated here.

The stupid corps commander gave up the advantage of the geographical location and retreated to the rear to form a formation of desperation, so the 3rd Infantry Corps was annihilated without being able to use its strength properly in the face of overwhelming numbers.

If they had tightly grasped and fought in the narrow part of the canyon, they could have delayed the Imperial Army’s advance by at least fifteen days.

Thump-

All the doors were opened to drop the assault troops from the five ships.

-Krrr!(Sipa, it’s so high!)!

Sephia, who was about to drop, was surprised and stepped back. It was much higher than expected.

The location of the canyon looked far away. If he fell wrong, he felt like his limbs would break and he would die.

Just looking at it made his legs tremble.

-Krrr. (The kids are watching. Shut up and jump quickly.)

Nubira, the deputy commander and promised to marry Sephia, growled.

Everyone in the territory knows that Sephia can’t do anything to his bride-to-be, Nubira.

The people of the territory were proud of Sephia. Even such a strong person cares so much for his wife. But why can’t my husband do that?

The husbands call Sephia an event addict [someone who goes overboard with romantic gestures].

On Nubira’s birthday, he blows up balloons all day long to fill the sky.

It looked like hundreds of Edward balloons were floating.

Each balloon had ‘I love Nubira’ written on it.

Marital fights in the territory skyrocketed.

When it was the 100th day of their relationship, he made a heart with magical fire that didn’t go out for several hours in the mountains.

At night, it can be seen from several kilometers away. The wives who saw the magical flames and love serenade filling the mountain had ecstatic expressions.

They said to their husbands.

“Do that for me too.”

Crazy…

If I go to the mountains to do that, I’ll be eaten by monsters. Please don’t compare me to Sephia!

Again, marital fights in the territory skyrocketed.

On the days when Sephia does events, marital fights in the territory increase all at once as if promised.

In fact, there were people who brought divorce papers to the Legion court.

Nubira is also grateful to Sephia for that.

But often when he acts so immature, she doesn’t say good things either.

She was so outspoken.

She is just trying to act modestly because she is about to marry Sephia.

No one can stop her when her personality explodes.

-Krrr. (It’s too high.)

Sephia said pleadingly.

-Krrr. (Okay. I’ll send you.)

-Krrr. (Send? Where? Hey, hey, don’t do it! I told you not to do it… Aaaagh.)

Nubira kicked Sephia. Sephia screamed and fell to the ground.

Nubira turned around.

Ferocious malice is full of darkness. Because they have to drop from the ship, their equipment is much simpler than usual. Usually, their equipment weighed close to 1 ton.

But now they only wore light armor. Although it was light armor, it was not easy enough for humans to lift.

-Krrr! (Ogre Corps, sortie! Don’t fall behind other units!)

-Krrr! (Yessir!)

The ogres answered in a low and powerful voice.

-Krrr! (Let’s go!)

Nubira jumped out of the battleship Legion. In order, the ogres put on parachutes and quickly fell to the ground.

Nubira glanced at the other ships.

The elite troops from Legion’s territory were sequentially falling to the ground.

Without knowing it, they have a sense of competition with each other.

They pride themselves on being the strongest.

But their skills are similar, so they couldn’t make a clear decision.

Then what is the way to determine the winner?

It’s a real battle.

The higher the point, the more enemies you kill.

If it’s sweeping away the enemies…

There are no better people than our ogres.

Let’s go!

We are the strongest unit in Legion’s territory.

Swaaaaaaek!

Nubira did not even open her parachute and fell more aggressively towards the canyon.

Ground Force Commander Marquis Yeogokseong drove his horse, enduring his fatigue.

Originally, it was time to rest and eat dinner.

But in this situation, there was no time to sit back and relax. He had to return to the Empire as quickly as possible, even a minute or a second faster.

All they know is one thing!

That dragons attacked the homeland!

The reason is unknown.

No information was coming in now.

He had already dispatched 10 information department rangers, but none of them had returned yet.

He felt stuffy and sore.

“Commander.”

The adjutant called Marquis Yeogokseong cautiously.

“Why?”

Marquis Yeogokseong looked at the adjutant with drowsy eyes. His eyes were soaked in fatigue. They were bloodshot and yellow. He couldn’t rinse his mouth, so there was a strong smell in his mouth.

He himself looked like he was about to collapse and fall asleep.

“You must let the troops rest.”

“We will march for one more hour.”

“Yesterday, we only rested for 2 hours. We also slept on the road, not in the barracks. Many soldiers who were exposed to the morning dew have caught a cold. We must preserve at least the minimum amount of physical strength. Look.”

The adjutant pointed to the soldiers walking slowly.

Clearly, they were the Imperial Army who had won a great victory, but none of them had expressions that showed they had achieved such a feat.

You would believe them if they were defeated soldiers. Their faces were full of fatigue.

Some soldiers walk while sleeping. There were also soldiers who fell into the rice paddies while walking while sleeping and broke their legs.

“Hmm.”

Even Marquis Yeogokseong could see that it was definitely severe.

They did not lose many troops in the battle.

But they could lose more troops during the retreat.

They have to rest.

He also knows.

Even so…

He couldn’t rest when he thought of the homeland.

They can rest on the last day before entering the homeland.

“Just one hour… We will march for one more hour and then rest. I know how you feel about your subordinates. But resting in this situation is a luxury. Just in case…”

What if the homeland was destroyed by the dragons? The words lingered in his mouth. It’s a word that shouldn’t be said.

No matter how large-scale an attack by dragons may have taken place, it does not make sense for the Empire to collapse.

That’s what he thinks, but there was no way to relieve the constant anxiety.

The Empire’s elite troops are here.

Although there are defense forces left to protect the capital of the Empire, he does not think that they, with their weak firepower, would have fought against the flying dragons and won.

The same was true of the local armies scattered in each region.

Now that there is no central army-

Now that it is judged that the capital defense corps has collapsed.

That place is a no man’s land.

“I understand.”

The adjutant, who understood the commander’s heart, nodded. He stepped back to encourage his subordinates.

But-

Something strange caught his eye.

It wasn’t late at night, but the sun had set.

The moon was shining brightly, so marching was possible. It was not difficult to identify friend or foe.

That’s why he was able to discover something falling from the sky.

At least hundreds of them.

They suddenly unfolded something.

It was a parachute used by assault rangers.

There was no reason for assault rangers to parachute into this place.

Dugun dugun [sound of a beating heart].

Suddenly, the adjutant’s heart began to beat violently.

No way…

It can’t be.

Soon-

All the parachutes fell among the troops.

What is it?

What are they?

“Aaaaaaagh!”

The screams of his subordinates began to erupt. The unrealistic scene of hundreds and thousands of shattered corpses rising into the air was clearly visible in the adjutant’s eyes.
