Magic Is Learned For Nothing [EN]: Chapter 471

Magic is Learned in Vain – Episode 472

# 472

The Ultimate Golem T-3000 (1)

Legion couldn’t hide the bittersweet feeling.

There were only about 30 episodes left. He had to settle things with the Archbishop within that time.

He wanted to ask the author what the original story was supposed to be. Or did the author not have any ideas at all?

Why was it turning out like this?

Anyone could see it was…

A Turborator.

Or was it a Terminator?

Turborator… look it up on Naver [South Korean search engine].

Anyway, was it okay for the story to progress so abruptly? It felt like huge chunks were being skipped. This wasn’t right. He had to do his best until the end so that readers would come back next time.

It would be foolish to end things strangely and alienate the few readers he had left.

And he would never appear in this author’s novel again.

How on earth was this novel going to end?

Actually, he should have at least a rough idea.

In the typical scenario, he would defeat the Archbishop of the Stone Head Church and restore peace to the continent, right?

Right?

That’s what you readers think too, right?

But he couldn’t fathom the author’s crazy thoughts.

Maybe it would end with a sad ending like the author’s previous works, ‘The Brothers of Abellazga’ or ‘City of Beasts.’

Those stories were utterly trashed. He took a quick look and saw they were covered in hate comments.

But…

Surprisingly, the author, despite all the hate, was able to buy his son a Taoreuji T-buster [likely a popular toy or game].

So…

The crazy author wouldn’t be blinded by money and kill him off, would he?

So, like Admiral Yi Sun-sin [Korean naval commander famed for his victories against Japan], he would defeat all the Stone Head Church and then die, right?

Saying, “Do not let my death be known to the enemy!”

Shit.

If the author dared to conclude it that way…

He would trash the author even before the readers did.

Ah, he was anxious. So anxious.

It felt like that kind of ending was waiting for him.

“Why the long face?”

Bidet asked.

“Isn’t this going to get us sued for copyright infringement? It’s like we ripped off Terminator.”

“No, it’s not.”

“It’s not?”

“It’s an homage.”

“Homage my ass, do you even know what homage means?”

“Anyway, I didn’t copy it. This is an original creation.”

“It really doesn’t look like it.”

“And would James Cameron even know about the T-3000?”

“He might.”

“I’ll bet all my money and my hand that he doesn’t know.”

“Someone could email James Cameron.”

“No way that’ll ever happen. It’s not like this author wrote Harry Potter. You’re the one being weird for worrying about that. So, feel free to use the T-3000 as much as you want.”

“Ah, really, every day is just filled with worries.”

“We need a weapon like this to fight the Stone Head Church. That guy has even won over the dragons. We can’t win with something half-assed.”

“That’s true, but still.”

“Hurry up. Stone Head Church branches are spread out everywhere. If those guys start trying suicide bombings, the damage will spread endlessly.”

Legion nodded.

He objectively assessed the power of his territory and the power of the Stone Head Church.

To others, his territory seemed to be full of absolute powerhouses. Even he thought it was amazing.

But when compared to national power, its level was insignificant.

It was just incredibly strong compared to nobles.

So, what about the Stone Head Church?

They had been steadily building up their power for hundreds of years.

Moreover, there were hundreds of dragons alone. Each one had the abilities of a Grand Master, a 9-circle mage. If just a dozen or so of the top-tier dragons started attacking, the territory could be devastated.

The number of people who could stop the dragons was limited.

Furthermore, the hundreds of thousands of undead they had raised were also a problem.

He couldn’t even guess how many there were. It was so dangerous that even the rangers who had been dispatched couldn’t get close.

Of course.

A living person couldn’t mingle with the undead.

The only thing they could do was guess the direction of their march from afar.

It wasn’t easy to even launch the new drone because of the flying undead.

If you add up all the forces, would it be about 1 to 100?

We are overwhelmingly at a disadvantage.

In that case…

Legion looked at the T-3000.

“We need to make those bastards annoyed.”

There is a military tactic that has always been the most annoying.

Hit and run.

Without thinking too hard, imagine some bastard sneaking up and throwing a rock at your forehead, then yelling, ‘I’m so fast. Catch me if you can, you punk,’ and running away.

Ah, just thinking about it makes me angry.

But that bastard is really damn fast.

You ran like crazy but couldn’t catch him.

You even vomited from running so much.

You missed him.

But this bastard comes again at night. Just as you’re about to eat, he kicks your rice bowl and runs away again.

“Can you even swallow your food, you punk?”

Like this.

You get so angry.

You go to catch him again.

Of course, you can’t catch him.

This happens every morning, noon, and night. You keep going to catch him, but you never do.

Your stress reaches its peak.

Later, you get startled by even the sound of a small blade of grass. Your forehead is swollen from being hit by stones. Your nose is broken. The bastard never gets close to you.

This is the famous Guerrilla Warfare.

How do I know this?

Do you think I only read Kingdom [popular manga series]? I’ve read quite a few other books too. So don’t underestimate me too much.

“What’s its name?”

Legion asked Bidet.

“It’s a mass-produced golem. Just codename T-3000. You give it a name.”

“Hmm. Let’s call it Kill Stone. With the feeling of wiping those bastards out.”

“Not bad.”

“Good. Shall we start by smashing the updated Stone Head Church branches?”

Legion smiled with a twist of his lips.

I know how strong you are.

But there was no reason to be easily defeated.

I’ll squeeze as much out of you as possible.

* * *

The T-3000, the state-of-the-art humanoid golem named Kill Stone, stood in front of a Stone Head Church branch operating an entertainment establishment.

Gibs had already identified this place a year ago.

There was an NPC named Lilac who had troubled Legion quite a bit in the past.

Because of her, Abdul Jabbar and his subordinates were seriously injured, and some even lost their lives. Abdul Jabbar also hovered between life and death for more than ten days.

The reason Lilac was able to attack Legion’s subordinates in his territory?

Internal infiltration.

Knowing this, Legion thoroughly searched his territory. Sure enough, they had already infiltrated the territory like parasites in other ways.

He left them alone to lure them in further.

They boldly set up three branches in the Duchy. When Legion pretended not to notice, they dispatched some pretty big shots.

Bishop Valentine.

A name that was just like a scam.

How many chocolates were sacrificed to the schemes of large corporations. Legion wanted to say, rather buy alcohol with that money and go to a motel.

Anyway, he had raised them to their maximum potential, so it was time to end it.

Legion and Bidet watched the situation through the CCTV magic tool attached to Kill Stone’s shoulder.

Kill Stone looked at the sign at the entrance of the entertainment establishment.

Room Stone.

You crazy bastards.

Room Stone, as if we wouldn’t know.

Always 200 on standby: teens, 20s.

Always on standby: married women in their 30s.

They boldly advertised with very decadent words.

At first, other establishments were wary, but when no crackdowns occurred, they put up signs similar to those of the Stone Head Church and started doing business as well.

They probably didn’t know that they were just being left alone.

After today, all perverted establishments would be hit with an iron fist.

“Ah, handsome sir, I don’t think I’ve seen you before. Are you looking for a particular lady?”

A waiter doing the touting approached Kill Stone and gave him a melting smile like a close friend.

Kill Stone looked at the waiter.

-Name: Ikill.

-Age: 42 years old. Preventing aging with Stone Head Church’s new drug.

-Stone Head Church believer.

-Combat Power: 121.

-Eliminate.

Kill Stone raised his finger.

The waiter smiled and looked at Kill Stone’s finger.

Kill Stone’s finger-

Suddenly stretched out and pierced Ikill’s eye. The finger that penetrated the skull was embedded in the wall. Ikill opened and closed his mouth like a goldfish for a moment, then collapsed.

“…….”

“…….”

Many men who had come to the entertainment establishment were surprised and stared at the corpse with their mouths open.

The sudden murder was so unexpected that they couldn’t believe what they were seeing.

Kill Stone said.

“I am Kill Stone, belonging to the Legion Special Forces. The order I received is to kill all Stone Head Church believers. No prisoners are needed. So, everyone who is not related to the Stone Head Church should run away. I will give you 10 seconds from now. Those who remain after 10 seconds will be regarded as believers of the Stone Head Church and will be slaughtered.”

The words clearly etched in the men’s ears were ‘Legion’ and ‘slaughter all’.

In general, lords are merciful. That’s what they think. But they are never merciful to those who commit crimes within their territory.

The system of collective responsibility is also used in the territory.

In particular, the system of collective responsibility is applied to those who have committed serious crimes, regardless of the reason.

A middle-aged man raped and killed a young girl. Then not only is the middle-aged man punished,

All the family’s property is taken away, and they are banished from the territory with nothing but their bare bodies.

Some say.

Why punish the families of criminals who have committed no crime? Isn’t that too much?

So Legion said.

What about the victim’s family?

The victim’s family has to suffer for the rest of their lives, so why should the perpetrator’s family sleep soundly?

I do not protect the perpetrators.

I will not even execute the perpetrators. I will make them work in the coal mine until they collapse and die, spitting blood.

I will record the suffering of their families on video and make the perpetrators watch it every day.

This is all because of you.

So, if you want to escape the system of collective responsibility, don’t commit crimes.

Anyone who says they don’t remember because they were drunk will be subject to aggravated punishment, so take care of it.

The men who were trying to find entertainment establishments felt as if they had instantly sobered up.

The man named Kill Stone was counting down.

Something really bad is going to happen if I stay here.

The men disappeared from the vicinity of the entertainment establishment like a receding tide.

The only people left were the Stone Head Church believers working in the entertainment establishment.

Kill Stone looked at the waiters in front of him.

-Meetukill. Stone Head Church follower.

-Ilovehell. Stone Head Church follower.

The waiters took out the jackknives they had on their ankles. They shouted while looking at Kill Stone.

“Who are you…….”

They couldn’t shout to the end.

Kill Stone has no emotions.

It is completely different from humans.

It only faithfully carries out the assigned mission. The humans in front of him were not living beings.

He was engraving them only as beings to be slaughtered.

Of course, there was no need for conversation.

Kill Stone passed them in an instant-

The Stone Head Church followers were beheaded and fell to the floor.

A fountain of blood gushed out next to Kill Stone.

Kill Stone walked emotionlessly through the rain of blood.

“Just who the hell is he?”

“Shit, we’re dead.”

“Do you know who we are!”

Dozens of armed Stone Head Church believers opened the door of the entertainment establishment and rushed out. Their eyes were full of murderous intent. Some could use magic.

Some can use mana blades. They could explode their abilities several times over with the Stone Head Church’s new drug.

That’s why they are confident.

But the opponent was Kill Stone, who doesn’t die even from Aura Blades.

Kill Stone walked among them without any expression.

Ten fingers slowly turn into iron skewers.
