Magic is Learned in Vain – Episode 481

Hill of Storms 2

Kukung!

Kukukung!

The cruel monarch, Ancient-grade dragon Ulbibyeo, rubbed his eyes. Was he seeing things correctly? He wanted to make sure.

Yes.

What he was seeing was accurate.

Still unable to believe it, he asked the Green Dragon Cantata.

“What is that?”

“They’re ogres.”

“Do you think I don’t know they’re ogres? Why are they so strong?”

“Well, it seems like they did… that thing, like humans do.”

“That thing?”

“Reborn.”

“Ah, reborn.”

Ulbibyeo’s favorite novels were martial arts stories. He also liked fantasy stories where his own race was the protagonist. Recently, with the explosive growth of social media, all sorts of strange genre novels were coming out.

‘Did Doctor Choi Dae-man or the Skeleton Soldier Protect the Dungeon?’ was also fun to read.

That’s how he learned the term ‘reborn’ [a trope where a character is reincarnated or gains immense power].

Simply put, it meant they became incredibly strong.

It was just a grandiose way of putting it.

“So, you’re saying the ogres were reborn?”

“That’s what it looks like.”

“Do you think that makes sense?”

“Why wouldn’t it?”

“Okay, then the ogres will be emitting Sword Qi! Aura Blades! Like that?”

“Surely not. No matter how far things go, there’s no novel where an ogre uses an Aura Blade.”

“How do you know? If you look it up, it’ll be there.”

“W-Well, maybe.”

“Look, look! Damn it. I was right!”

100 ogres simultaneously unleashed Aura Blades. The overwhelming sight stretched out brilliantly.

The giant magical beasts of the Guardian Corps, who were facing them, were instantly torn to shreds and disappeared. The first and second ranks were crushed like reeds, vanishing into nothingness.

“Damn it, these are ogres? No way!”

The team leaders of the Guardian Corps shouted. It felt like punching a giant wall.

The Guardians didn’t just capture and brainwash different races and monsters.

From a young age, they received intense training in all aspects of combat.

Cooking rice for dragons, 101 things to do when a dragon speaks, from appearing to be there but not there in a dragon’s eyes, they were divided into ranks from 1 to 5 based on their combat abilities.

Those who reached rank 5 were evaluated as Guardians with combat abilities of at least 6-star to 7-star level.

There were as many as 30,000 of them.

Thousands of lightning bolts, thunder, and flames rained down on the ogres’ heads.

Kukukukukukung!

The Guardians’ attacks, which could swallow several kilometers of the battlefield at once, were futile.

All the ogres were unharmed.

They couldn’t even touch a single hair on their bodies.

This wasn’t the ogres’ ability.

It was thanks to Sepia, who had badgered Bidet into creating ‘armor that could deploy an ultra-powerful barrier capable of withstanding any attack,’ and equipping it to everyone.

It wasn’t just that armor.

Some ogres were holding legendary items, ‘Block Everything Shield!’

It was one of the items Preetia had collected throughout her life. It was a legendary item known to be able to temporarily block even a dragon’s breath if magic power was charged into it.

Sepia and the ogres had all trained in the ‘Desert Room’ on the first day.

Their inherent abilities increased between 5 to 10 times their original strength. Now, using Aura Blades was easier for them than farting in their sleep at home.

In particular, Sepia had reached an unimaginable level.

You could say that he had completely evolved the ogre race.

-Krrrreung! (It’s the Boss’s order. Sweep away all the riff-raff!)

-Krrrreung. (Okay-bari [Korean slang for ‘Okay’].)

The ogres began to run towards the Guardians in front.

“W-What are those bastards? An ogre! An ogre is stepping on the grass and using 경공술 [Gyeonggongsool: a martial art technique that allows the user to move with incredible speed and agility] to run so fast!”

The Guardians were horrified and slowly retreated.

“You fools! Don’t retreat. You have an overwhelming number of troops. Use a war of attrition!”

The Worm-grade dragon Noname, who was commanding the Guardians, shouted fiercely.

Noname grabbed some Guardians and put them in his mouth. He chewed them up and spat them out on the Guardians’ heads.

“I’ll make all those who run away like this.”

The Guardians’ faces turned blue. Right, we have dragons behind us.

No matter how much the ogres rampage, they were still ogres. If we don’t catch them, we’ll die.

“Uwaaaa!”

The Guardians collided head-on with the ogres who were running at tremendous speed.

But there was something they didn’t know.

They weren’t ordinary ogres.

They were Super Ogres!

“Krrrreung? (You are?) ”

Nubira, the invincible ogre who always diligently supported Sepia, asked.

“Krrrreung…… (I am……)”

Sepia looked at the three handsome men and women floating in the sky. Ancient-grade dragon Ulbibyeo, Cantata, Priscilla. He liked the Ancient-grade dragon, even if he didn’t know the others.

Having been born as an ogre, he had never even thought about facing a dragon.

He was just a small-time boss ruling a small area in the Dusseldorf Mountains.

But look at me now.

How is it?

He had grown enough to face an Ancient-grade dragon.

Ah! Our 형아 [Hyeong-ah: Korean term used by males to refer to an older brother or close older male friend]!

Thank you so much.

Happiness came after meeting 형아. He even got such a pretty girlfriend. She’s a bit violent, but so what. She’s pretty. Even if she’s a little violent, she’s forgiven if she’s pretty.

“Krrrreung. (I’ll catch those guys.)”

Sepia pointed at Ulbibyeo.

“Krrrreung. (He’s not an ordinary guy. No matter how much stronger we’ve become compared to before……, those guys are dragons.)

“Krrrreung…… (They’re ordinary dragons. But I am……)”

“Krrrreung? (You are?) ”

“Krrrreung. (A Super Ogre.)”

Nubira’s eyes sparkled. Her expression was melting away.

Super Ogre.

It sounds so cool just to hear it!

I think I’ll be waiting for you tonight.

Tonight, you and I, just the two of us, Pari Pari [onomatopoeia for excitement].

A happy Pari, foreseeing happiness! Feeling love, Pari! Pari!

Until morning, Kung Kung Kung [onomatopoeia for pounding or excitement]!

-Krrrreung? (Really?)

-Krrrreung. (Show me. Your strength as a male. How strong a Super Ogre is.)

-Shower tonight and wait! I’ll show you.

Sepia’s morale increased by +100.

Sepia took a deep breath and then exhaled towards the dragons.

Originally, it was an act of emitting such an ‘Ogre Fear’. As the strongest monster on earth, once ‘Ogre Fear’ was released, all the animals around would run away without looking back.

It was also used to break the will of the enemy facing them.

But the opponents were dragons.

And three of them were leisurely looking at Sepia.

It meant that they weren’t opponents who would be frightened by Sepia’s ‘Ogre Fear’.

But-

Sepia didn’t shout Ogre Fear.

A huge mass of magic power was fired from Sepia’s mouth.

Everyone couldn’t close their mouths.

It was such an unfamiliar sight.

A magic bullet with enormous power was fired from the ogre’s mouth. If this wasn’t evolution, what was it?

“Krrrreung? (Ogre Breath?) ”

Surprised, Nubira looked at Sepia with wide eyes.

“Krrrreung. (It’s too early to be surprised.)”

Sepia’s entire body disappeared with a poof. And then he appeared behind the dragon. He had gained the ability to move hundreds of meters or more with just his will.

Literally a Super Ogre!

It couldn’t be anything less than an ability surpassing the Grand Master.

Sepia, who appeared behind the dragons, grabbed Cantata’s nape. Cantata felt his neck break as soon as he was grabbed because of how strong the grip was.

“Damn it, an ogre!”

Cantata immediately began to regenerate. But he made a mistake. He should have blocked the Ogre Breath flying in front of him rather than regenerating.

Kukukukukukung!

Cantata’s barrier was shattered at once by the Ogre Breath.

It was an Ogre Breath with much more powerful destructive power than expected. The Ogre Breath, which broke through the defense, swallowed Cantata in an instant.

“Kuaaaak!”

His whole body was sizzling. Cantata struggled to escape, but he couldn’t move because Sepia was holding him by the back of his neck.

“D-Damn it, Polymorph……”

Cantata tries to release control of his body.

But Sepia, who had even gotten smarter, wouldn’t allow it.

From behind, with his hand, swoosh!

Without any hindrance, Cantata’s heart was in Sepia’s hand.

“Krrrreung. (Dragon Heart, which is better for the body than Woohwang Cheongsimhwan [a traditional Korean medicine used to improve blood circulation and calm the mind]. I heard that if you eat this, your sperm activity will be greatly improved for a year. Good.)”

Sepia swallowed the Dragon Heart like a nutritional supplement. At that moment, vitality flowed through his entire body. He had already wasted too much energy in the Desert Room for too long, but this recovered it at once.

“Keuheuheuk.”

The Worm-grade dragon Cantata ended his life in an unbelievably futile way. His entire body falters and falls to the ground.

Sepia smacked his lips and looked at Ulbibyeo and Priscilla.

“Krrrreung? (How good are your dragon hearts for the body?) ”

Ulbibyeo and Priscilla frowned slightly. The fact that there was an ogre standing and flying in the air was unbelievable in itself.

Ulbibyeo, who had lived for nearly 5,000 years, had never seen anything like this before.

Is the opponent a Chimera?

After scanning, it wasn’t.

It was an original ogre.

“Interesting. I’ll have to use you as research material. I’ll cut off your arms, legs, and tongue. But I won’t kill you.”

Ulbibyeo said, looking at Sepia.

Sepia snorted. What, this bastard.

He had seen many guys who said that. Tenjangguri [a Korean slang term for a pathetic or insignificant person] who treated ogres like dog poop.

No one who had ignored ogres had ever left the territory on two feet.

These guys are the same.

Whether the opponent is an Ancient-grade dragon.

Whether it’s a god.

Whether it’s a demon.

If you ignore me!

If you ignore our ogres!

I’ll wipe you all out.

Kukukung!

Priscilla’s divine-grade item, the long spear, fell on Sepia’s head.

Sepia grabbed the guy’s spear and smiled, showing his sharp fangs.

Snap-

When he put strength into his grip, the divine-grade item broke easily.

The eyes of the Worm-grade dragon Priscilla widened.

“Krrrreung. (What, are you so surprised? It’s just the beginning.)”

Sepia’s mouth widened.

The unimaginable murderous intent that only the strongest monster on earth, the ogre, could emit, tightly bound the dragons’ entire bodies. As expected, they were clearly flustered because they had never experienced such things before.

But-

They are also the strongest race in the human realm, the dragons.

They don’t collapse easily.

Ulbibyeo and Priscilla, who shook off the murderous intent, were trying to transform into their true forms.

“Krrrreung. (Ah, I’ve been waiting. Really…… I really wanted to clash with all my might.)”

Sepia grabbed two axes in his hands and began to form fighting spirit.

Surprisingly, his fighting spirit manifested in two forms.

One was in the form of a giant wing.

The other was in the form of a fighting arena that was over several tens of meters.

The word Super Ogre was by no means an empty word.

In fact, he far surpassed the power of the Grand Master. Thanks to the Legion’s decision, he had an excellent brain and was stronger than all the ogres combined.

Such Sepia-

He was trying to unleash all the power he had with all his might.

Kukukukukukung!

The world shook as it was swept up in fighting spirit. Lightning struck from all directions in the clear sky.

A vortex formed and ravaged the surroundings.

It was as if nature was terrified and crying out to be saved just by unleashing fighting spirit.

-Kuaaaaang! (I’ll chew you up! Lizards!)
