Magic Is Learned For Nothing [EN]: Chapter 483

# 484

Oops, not this one. (1)

Legion was walking down the village road.

Half a day had passed since Dreyza, Lich Mamon, and Pritia entered the desert chamber.

‘I wonder if they’ve become incredibly strong by now,’ he mused.

They should be grateful to him.

‘Gravity 30 times? I made it 30 times for the kids too. Aren’t you ashamed of just 30 times as a veteran?’ he thought with amusement.

So, he boldly made it 100 times.

‘Then, wouldn’t they come out about 70 times stronger than expected?’ A mischievous thought crossed his mind.

‘Maybe a cosmic monster will be born. They might gain the ability to crush a planet like the one we live on with a single blow.’

‘Well,’ he conceded.

‘He himself could evaporate an entire city if he used his full power. Don’t say anything ridiculous!’ he chided himself, then immediately countered, ‘It’s possible! I’m telling you it is!’

‘It’s possible to use 10th circle magic and 10-star aura [a powerful energy source] at the same time.’

‘In other words! You can assume that Dreyza and Lich Mamon also have similar power.’

‘I wonder how strong a monster will come out. They’ll be stronger than me.’

‘Well, it can’t be helped,’ he shrugged mentally.

‘I can go into the desert chamber too. I’ve never been in there before, but I’m somehow looking forward to it. I hope I can make my body huge like Ent Girl [a character with the ability to grow to enormous size]. No, much bigger than that. What if I could gain the ability to grow so big that I could hold the sun floating there in one hand?’

‘That would be really fun.’

‘The readers would spit and leave,’ he thought, snapping himself back to reality. ‘Let’s keep it moderate. Moderate.’

While they were in the desert chamber, Legion took a short break.

The other nobles are asleep.

Someone once said.

“War is a fight against sleep.”

Legion agreed. He hardly sleeps even when battles break out. There were many times when he couldn’t sleep for days. How efficiently you provide rest to the soldiers is also directly related to the battle.

But Legion couldn’t fall asleep.

So, he got out of bed and went to the dining room. For some reason, he wanted to taste the food made by Decarson.

Decarson, called the Dragon Chef. He had been called that since some time ago.

And he was also a strong contender who reached the round of 16 in the temporarily suspended Territory’s Strongest Tournament.

‘Sometimes I’m curious about his past,’ Legion mused.

‘Maybe if it had gone up to 1000 episodes, there would have been an episode about him. As his past was revealed, ta-da!’

‘The readers would have said, “Wow! I see. So that’s how the foreshadowing thrown in front was recovered.”‘

‘But the foreshadowing cannot be recovered.’

Decarson’s identity will forever remain a mystery.

Legion got a meal from Decarson and got up to look around the territory where he had lived his entire life.

“Lord.”

Decarson called Legion.

“Yeah.”

“I think I’ll tell you my secret now.”

“Huh?” Legion was taken aback. ‘What is it? This is out of the blue. Did he want to appear in one more cut even like this?’

‘He must be a mysterious man living with some secret born between a dragon and a human.’

“Hmm?”

Decarson’s expression hardened.

‘I guess I’m right.’

‘As expected, the writer’s thoughts were simple. Maybe one of the dragons will come and ask him to take over the Dragon Lord, something like that. I’ll play a big role in that episode. They will feel very grateful to me. They will have a conflict between the Black Dragon and me.’

‘So the dragons are divided into two factions. The dragons who help the Black Dragon and the dragons who help me.’

‘Decarson would have become the Dragon Lord.’

‘If it were the original story.’

‘Ah, poor old man. He was destined to become the Dragon Lord, but due to the sudden change in the story, he will just end up as an ordinary cook.’

‘That’s life. How can life go the way you want it to?’

“Keep what you want to say in your heart.”

“I want to say it now.”

“It’s no use even if you do. It’s just a waste of pages. All the readers will feel sorry for you.”

“For me?”

“Yes. If the Territory’s Strongest Tournament is resumed, then vent your anger.”

“Okay, I understand. Lord.”

Decarson stepped back obediently. He looked like he wanted to say more, but he closed his mouth because he might not be able to appear anymore if the writer didn’t like him.

Legion came down to the village square.

The entire duchy was covered in fear. There is no evacuation. This is the last paradise.

If the duchy collapses, everyone…….

Becomes undead.

‘Ugh! Shit the buck!’

‘I don’t want to become a monster like an undead.’

‘Imagine being a zombie, dragging one foot and saying, ‘Mom, Mom, give me milk!”

‘It’s like a perverted zombie.’

‘How nice would it be to become a noble undead like vampires.’

‘But are vampires really undead?’

‘Why are they so different from the guys who are invading?’

‘Ah! Just like we have many people of color, maybe they are like that too.’

‘I don’t know.’

‘There’s no answer even if I think about it.’

‘But why is it so lively here?’

The village square was no different from usual. A market was formed, and merchants sold goods.

“Ah, it’s the Lord!”

“Lord! Is it okay to slack off like this during the war?”

“Are you trying to get married before you die?”

“How about my daughter? She’s 7 years old, but she’ll grow into the most beautiful woman on the continent in 10 years.”

Legion raised his hand and responded.

“Yes, yes, show me that daughter in 10 years. If I’m still alive by then.”

“Lord, let’s take a picture together.”

A young girl came up and put her arm in Legion’s.

“Okay, cheese.”

“Awesome, I have to upload it to Instagram.”

“Humanity is about to be destroyed, and you’re on Instagram?”

“I’m leaving my last footprints. I lived my best until the moment I died.”

“Hmm, that’s a cool thing to say.”

“Right? Lord, please do your best too.”

“Of course, let’s all do our best to survive.”

“I believe in you. Lord.”

The territory residents cheered for the Lord. There were no shadows on their faces.

This is the starting point of Legion’s territory.

Since the time of the ancestors, the Alexander family has been rooted here. The same was true of the villagers.

It was no exaggeration to say that almost all of them had been together for hundreds of years.

So, it feels different from other villages.

This place is home to Legion.

It was a place of peace of mind.

Legion felt at peace just by looking around the village.

After greeting the villagers, Legion stopped by a bookstore. He bought a large quantity of the legendary strategy novel ‘Kingdom’ used here. It was so fun that he watched it several times.

But Kingdom was not needed in this war. The enemy is the undead army.

A groundbreaking strategy book was needed to confront them.

To prevent the sacrifice of subordinates!

For the peace of mankind!

‘I’m going,’ he thought with determination.

“Oh my, what brings the busy Lord down here at this hour?”

“Someone said, ‘Books are food for the soul.’ I’m trying to plant seeds in my heart right now.”

The bookstore owner barely suppressed the laughter that was about to burst out. ‘Who was the person who secretly bought erotic novels and books with erotic pictures every day?’

‘Well, the previous Lord also often came here before his marriage to buy erotic novels and books with erotic pictures.’

‘Like father, like son.’

‘Still, the previous Lord got married early.’

‘When is our Lord going to get married? If he dies in this war…… Ah……, poor thing. He might become a bachelor ghost.’

‘He’s one of only two dukes in the kingdom.’

‘There were rumors that he was the strongest warrior in the kingdom.’

‘He has a fantastic appearance.’

‘He has so much wealth that he doesn’t even know how much he has.’

‘Despite being the end plate of specs [having perfect qualities]…… He hasn’t even kissed yet.’

‘How do I know?’

‘Only the Lord doesn’t know.’

The rumor has already spread throughout the territory.

‘Everything is perfect, but only one thing! He’s a greenhorn when it comes to romance.’

“Oh, a new book is out.”

Legion looked at the book wrapped in plastic.

“The title is……”

“It’s a new novel called ‘Magic is Learned for Nothing’.”

“I think I saw it on the internet. A paperback came out.”

“Yes, it came out. I couldn’t not accept it. I received it for now.”

“Tell me if it’s fun. I’ll borrow it later.”

“Buy it. This is not a book rental store.”

“Yes, I understand. Then I’ll just buy this and go.”

Legion held out a book in the corner. The cover showed a woman in a bikini beckoning to Legion. ‘Come on.’

“Ahem.”

He clears his throat for no reason. The bookstore owner wrapped the book tightly as if he knew. To the point of being uncomfortable.

Legion and the bookstore owner’s eyes met.

‘Don’t tell anyone.’

‘Is there any doubt?’

* * *

Northern Defense Line.

The troops here, commanded by Sharonz, number over 80,000.

The number of vampire legions alone reaches a whopping 50,000. If you calculate it as a simple number, it’s 50,000, but when compared to the combat power of human infantry, it has the power of nearly 300,000.

In addition, wizards from the Magic Tower and knights from the nobles participated in large numbers.

But Sharonz didn’t rely much on their power.

She knows that war is not about numbers. There were many cases where victory or defeat was determined by how high morale was and how well they were united.

The mages of the Magic Tower that Sharonz is looking at had too much pride.

They never said ‘yes’ nicely even once.

She doesn’t ignore their abilities, but it was cumbersome to fight with them.

So, she gave them the privilege of participating in the operation independently.

The vampire legion is in charge of the entire northern defense line.

It was better than the mages of the Magic Tower taking charge of one area and collapsing.

Rather, it seemed advantageous in many ways for them to be there in the form of support troops.

The same was true of the nobles’ knights.

The number of them is also considerable. At least tens of thousands. But they don’t unite either.

They had been fighting for hours over who would lead.

Even though Legion clearly entrusted Sharonz with the commander-in-chief of the North, they did not listen.

They say they will never listen to the vampires’ instructions.

Sharonz told them to do whatever they wanted. Instead, she said that if they caused damage in battle, she would summarily judge them, whether they were nobles or not.

But they scoffed.

They didn’t seem to know their situation. She left them alone. Whether they die or not.

There is only one thing I can trust.

The Golem Legion that Legion attached.

All of them are humanoid golems.

T-1000. 500 units.

T-3000. 50 units.

The numbers are small, but they were showing outstanding abilities.

Frankly speaking, the abilities of the golems are comparable to the abilities of the top warriors of the vampires.

In particular, the golems called T-3000 showed abilities beyond imagination.

“They’re hesitating.”

Vampire priest Scratch’s expression brightened.

Vampires basically like ranged attacks. They don’t prefer close combat, perhaps because they like things clean by nature. So when they start a battle, they bombard with magic from a distance.

On the other hand, lycanthropes [werewolves] have no talent for ranged attacks. Among all races, the races that can match lycanthropes were counted within five fingers.

Because the two races were so incompatible, they had been growling at each other for hundreds of years without either side gaining an advantageous position.

Even now, the vampires’ personalities are revealed as they are.

The undead legion was rushing in from all directions to the point where the end could not be seen.

The completed giant wall seemed to be swaying like a small boat meeting a storm.

“Shoot! Shoot until your magic power runs out!”

Tens of thousands of fireballs flew into the sky. It was never easy to see such a spectacle of so many fireballs filling the sky.

Tens of thousands of fireballs-

Kukukukukukung!

Swallowed up a huge number of undead. There are far more monsters advancing than the number of undead screaming while engulfed in flames.

They continued to rush in, trampling on their comrades burning in the flames.

“Shoot! Shoot!”

Perhaps hundreds of thousands of magic bullets hit the northern land.

Landslides occurred one after another, and cliffs collapsed due to the amount of shock.

Even so-

The undead legion continues to advance.

That’s when the Golem Legion, which had been hiding its appearance, appeared.

‘It’s just a golem,’ some thought. ‘How much can a golem fight even if it fights?’

But what.

Their combat power was beyond imagination. They don’t get tired. Even if they get hurt, their combat power doesn’t drop. They were combat weapons developed to fight.

The undead legion stopped advancing only after being torn apart by the Golem Legion, which was advancing relentlessly.

It was an undead legion that had never rested.

In other words!

It was the first time they had stopped.

The battlefield was filled with screams and shouts.

Whoosh~.

Although hundreds of thousands of enemies and allies were facing each other, only silence was strangely felt.

Kill Stone, the commander of the Golem Legion, looked ahead.

His eyes were equipped with all kinds of magic such as scan magic, weight magic, and clairvoyance magic.

He was able to judge the situation most calmly. ‘What is this situation now? Why did those guys stop advancing? Because of the vampires’ magic attack?’

‘No.’

‘They are not the kind of guys who would do that.’

The reason was soon revealed.

A red warning light appeared in his eye.

-Warning! Warning!

An existence with infinite magic power is approaching. Retreat is required. Retreat is required.
