Magic Learned in Vain – 498
# 498
My Name Is Legion 2
Humanity?
No.
Other races?
Strictly speaking, not even that.
This is a struggle for survival among all life forms in the human realm, with the continent as their mother.
The continent’s goddess has been deprived of her choice.
The corrupted mass of demonic consciousness, the Black Dragon, appeared through the dimensional barrier with her children.
Only one of them will survive.
A life-or-death struggle.
There is no better word to describe the current situation.
Kill or be killed.
This is a foregone conclusion.
Even if just a little-
If we can inflict even the slightest scratch on him, we will pour out all our strength, even if it means death.
“We only have 20 percent of our residual magic bullets left.”
“Keep firing! We don’t have time to replenish magic bullets.”
“Then we will exhaust all magic bullets within 20 minutes.”
“The ships that have used up all their magic bullets will take turns launching suicide attacks on that monster.”
“S, suicide attacks, you say?”
“Is there any other way?”
“W, well…….”
“Do you have siblings?”
“Adjutant.”
Rice stared at the young adjutant. He was probably in his early 20s. Judging by the fact that he had been promoted to adjutant, he must be either very intelligent or have superior magic abilities compared to others.
Judging by his presence here, it must be the former.
He is intelligent, but his instincts are not so good.
Well, how many people are both intelligent and instinctive?
This territory, teeming with people who excel in aura, magic, mana, intelligence, and physical strength, must be crazy.
But even this crazy territory…….
Could not defeat that one monster.
It was as if someone had arranged it this way: Fight that monster. Do whatever you can if you can win. But if you lose, it’s over.
“Commander?”
“Ah, sorry. Adjutant. Do you have any siblings?”
“I have an older sister.”
“What about your parents?”
“They are both doing well.”
“Are you married?”
“I have four children. But they all have different surnames.”
“…….”
It’s like a writer making a joke that doesn’t fit the situation. Did he have to put in this kind of humor in this situation? No one is laughing. You crazy writer.
“To protect them…….”
“You mean we have to risk our lives?”
“That’s right. Until the very end…….”
“I understand. I want to live until the end……, but if it’s absolutely necessary, I will ram this ship into his face.”
“Good. I wish there was even a glimmer of hope.”
Kukukukung!
Before he could finish speaking, a destroyer with 20 more cannons exploded in a chain reaction and crashed. They seemed to have the same idea as us.
The destroyer crashed directly into the Black Dragon’s chest.
Kukukukung!
But…….
The destroyer exploded without causing even a slight scratch, due to the unimaginable energy shield protecting the Black Dragon.
“Is this really……, how it’s going to end…….”
* * *
The sky is faintly dawning.
Although the dawn is breaking, the world is still shrouded in despair.
Nothing has changed, and the situation is getting worse.
King Lauzel, Baserabap, Duke Sijinpi, and their retainers felt only a deep sense of helplessness against the absolute being.
There was nothing they could do.
What could they do against that transcendent being who was immune to all magic and physical attacks and possessed terrifying offensive power?
They saw over a hundred dragons disappear at once with a single breath.
They were the ones who trembled at the thought of a kingdom being destroyed by just one dragon. How would they feel seeing that? They simply stood there blankly, witnessing an unbelievable sight.
The strongest warriors representing the kingdom were all gathered here.
It was such an amazing force that one might wonder if such a combination was even possible.
And yet…….
One by one, they fall.
The warriors who they thought were invincible were collapsing, vomiting blood, in front of that mighty enemy.
Ah!
A powerful magic was gathering in his mouth. The surrounding air was being sucked into him all at once.
Wajijijik! Wajijijik!
The inner walls lost all their energy and crumbled like sand. Countless soldiers who were frantically firing arrows at the tentacles disappeared in the blink of an eye.
They literally disappeared.
It was so sudden that one might suspect they had teleported.
“All warriors below 7-star level and all mages below 7-circle level, retreat immediately! His bio-energy is absorbing our magic!”
The Black Dragon didn’t even fire his breath.
Yet, he was inflicting fatal wounds on all living things by absorbing all the surrounding energy.
Only about thirty people were holding on.
The rest had either retreated beyond the half-collapsed walls or had their life force stolen and were all evaporated.
Formidable-
This one word cannot fully describe the monster.
“That breath……, can we stop it?”
Preetia asked.
“Can’t you see the second moon?”
Dreyzer chuckled and pointed to the second moon, which had been half-blown away and was floating in the sky.
The destroyed moon that was blown away by the breath. The continent will suffer a great disaster because of that. But before that, everything will be destroyed by the Black Dragon.
“You mean we can’t stop it.”
“We have to try until the end. I’ll aim for his neck. Cover me.”
Preetia nodded.
“I’ll be the tanker.”
Lich Mamon stood in front of Dreyzer. He was planning to clear the way for Dreyzer with the Daganda Dragon.
“I’m going.”
“Okay, farewell.”
“Farewell, I’m not going to die. Not as long as my master is alive.”
“Hmm, then I’ll die first.”
“That’s right. Before you die, cut off the Black Dragon’s head and die. If you break his head, I’ll finish it off.”
“Hmph, I will.”
Lich Mamon, Dreyzer, and Preetia all drew out their super magic to the fullest extent. All three possessed absolute power. When they unleashed their super magic without holding back, the earth shook as if an earthquake had occurred.
Bacon, who was closest to them, clicked his tongue.
“You mean you weren’t using your full power until now?”
They are truly beings whose limits cannot be known.
Nevertheless, the problem was that the Black Dragon’s super magic was higher than the sum of the three of them.
If his breath directly hit the territory…….
No one would survive.
Whether it’s a million or ten million people.
The earth itself would be evaporated.
That’s when it happened.
Kukukukukung!
A huge force slammed down on the Black Dragon’s head.
* * *
Legion pushed his super magic to the extreme with all his might.
Everyone else was exhausted and had fallen, but he was in top condition. The desert base AI, who introduced himself as Mark, had let him rest well.
At first, he was impatient.
But since he couldn’t leave anyway, he decided to relax. Then, several women appeared before his eyes and danced, saying, ‘Hoolala, hoola! Wiggle your hips!’ while placing a bouquet of flowers around his neck.
They brought all kinds of rare drinks and started performing.
Large men also shouted, ‘Aloha!’
It was hard to tell whether it was a hologram or real.
And what about the massage?
When he asked the beautiful woman who was giving him a massage, she said, ‘This is a world-famous Thai massage. It relaxes your tension and relaxes your muscles to their best condition.’
He had lived with extreme tension for a year.
After receiving the massage, he felt sleepy and closed his eyes for a moment.
When he heard Mark say that the door was open…….
Surprisingly, his physical abilities had awakened to 100 percent.
He didn’t feel like he would lose to anyone. Mark grumbled that the probability of winning was extremely low, but you never know until you try.
Legion completely aurified his body. Each cell awakens like a living being.
A pure mass of energy with all impurities removed.
It is impossible for non-human life forms to handle.
Even dragons can’t.
Tick, tick-
The super aura that caused friction with the air blazed fiercely. No object is allowed to approach within a radius of 100 meters or more.
The power is gradually compressed until it is just the size of Legion.
And his speed of flight far exceeded the speed of sound.
Bang! With a sound, Legion’s body collided with the Black Dragon’s head.
In terms of destructive power alone, it surpasses the Black Dragon’s breath.
Kukukukukukung!
The Black Dragon’s barrier, which had been directly hit by the merciless super aura, was torn to shreds.
It is a shockwave that has exceeded its limits.
The shockwave spread in all directions. With a thud! A storm suddenly arose and engulfed the surroundings.
“Uwaaaagh!”
“S, save me!”
The walls flew away-
The houses built with solid bricks flew away.
The barriers created by the mages of the magic tower while foaming at the mouth were also swept away by the shockwave of the storm and shattered.
Still, it’s better than nothing.
The places where the mages of the magic tower created barriers were relatively safe.
The people who were just crouching down without barriers could not withstand the shockwave of the storm and flew far away into the sky. There was no time to save them.
Because the storm stretched out to a radius of dozens of kilometers or more.
An unimaginable shockwave.
The expressions of Dreyzer, Lich Mamon, Preetia, and Bacon, who blocked such a shockwave at close range, changed strangely.
The corners of their lips gradually twitched and then widened into a bright smile.
“Master!”
“Master!”
“Swindler.”
Legion waved one hand while looking at those subordinates.
“It’s been a while.”
“What do you mean it’s been a while? It’s only been a day.”
Dreyzer grumbled.
“Oops, that’s right. Only a day has passed in this time. Thank you for your hard work during that time.”
“I’m glad I came in time. As you can see…….”
Dreyzer turned his head to the Black Dragon, whose head was shattered. Fragments were falling to the ground. The size of his head alone is as big as a Wyrm-class dragon [a large, powerful dragon].
The problem is the Black Dragon’s regeneration ability.
The Black Dragon’s eyes changed as he looked at Legion. It was no longer the indifferent look he had before.
-You are the one who took half of me.
The Black Dragon didn’t even open his mouth, but his words were heard in everyone’s minds.
The people were surprised. They were surprised by the words ‘the one who took half of me.’
What on earth does that mean?
Legion waved his hand.
“The one who got it taken is an idiot.”
-…….
The Black Dragon didn’t say anything. He thought he wouldn’t have any emotional changes because he had become a god. He was destroying the world, but he didn’t feel any emotion.
He just felt like he was doing what he had to do.
He plans to absorb the energy of the entire planet. At some point, he will leave his body and become a god formed only of energy.
It is an omnipotent power that can control the universe.
If he takes a breath, a black hole will form, and if he waves his hand, the galaxy will be destroyed. Or a new planetary system is born.
What else would that be if not a true god?
But…….
He didn’t expect to be shaken by such words.
The one who got it taken is an idiot?
That son of a bitch!
That, that, that bastard.
Legion raised his middle finger at the Black Dragon, who had completed his regeneration.
“Suck on this.”
Even his subordinates were horrified by Legion’s actions.
