Magic Is Learned For Nothing [EN]: Chapter 498

# 499

My Name Is Legion 3

The battle raged fiercely.

Unintentionally, Legion found himself acting as a meat shield.

“I’m a mage, dammit! Have you ever seen a mage acting as a tank? Huh? Ugh, I’m gonna die.”

Mages weren’t exactly known for tanking. Maybe you could find one if you looked hard enough, but certainly not in Legion’s experience.

If he hadn’t been a Transcendent Ultra Grand Master, he would have been torn to shreds by the Black Dragon’s energy wave long ago.

The Black Dragon wasn’t just huge. It had also absorbed the abilities of a god-level undead resembling a grub.

Suddenly, tens of thousands of eyeballs flashed open across its two-kilometer-long body and began firing energy waves at Legion simultaneously.

Just one hit would be fatal. The destructive power was comparable to the Hell Laser that Preetia had used.

Tens of thousands of these energy waves.

Legion couldn’t evade to the ground. He flew into the sky to avoid the Black Dragon’s energy waves. Tens of thousands of energy waves embroidered the sky.

Flash! Flash!

The sun hadn’t even risen yet, but the world already seemed bright from the Black Dragon’s energy waves.

-Barrier damaged!

-Super mana down.

-Body damage 20 percent.

-Lich Mamon destroyed. Unable to fight. Regeneration in about 12 minutes.

-Draizir, Preetia’s super mana down.

Mark’s voice, analyzing the situation, didn’t sound good. They had made a grand entrance, but their stats were just too different from the start.

They succeeded in breaking through its barrier in the first stage, but it had completely switched from defense to offense.

It wasn’t easy to approach it while dodging tens of thousands of energy waves.

Even when Draizir’s super attack wave occasionally succeeded, the Black Dragon’s body regenerated immediately. Even if it didn’t regenerate, its wounds were extremely minor.

Grand Master Bacon had already retreated. There was no point in him being caught in that crossfire.

The other subordinates didn’t even entertain such thoughts due to the vast difference in skill.

But Bacon was a Grand Master. In terms of skill, he could be said to be in the top ten on the continent.

That’s why he bitterly realized how great the difference in skill was between himself, Draizir, Lich Mamon, Preetia, and their master.

He was frustrated.

He was so frustrated.

If he were given another chance, he would never neglect his training.

Though he didn’t know if he would be given a chance.

Kukukukung!

Draizir’s strongest technique, ‘Dragon Slayer,’ poured down on the Black Dragon like a barrage.

Preetia gathered all her mana and unleashed the 11th circle great planet destruction magic.

“Fraud! This is our last attack. I’ll draw its attention. You finish it off!”

Preetia shouted.

Legion nodded.

The only comrades who could stand against that terrifying Black Dragon. If it weren’t for them, he wouldn’t have lasted this long.

-Overall combat power has decreased by more than 30 percent since the beginning.

“What about it?”

-It’s wary of us too. That energy wave consumes a tremendous amount of energy. The Black Dragon has also exhausted more than 30 percent of its power. The problem is, we don’t have the strength to reach it. Is there any way?

“There is.”

-What way?

Mark asked back, sounding skeptical.

“Our grandmother’s last legacy.”

-Ah…

Only then did Mark remember something.

Legion pushed his body’s strength to the limit. Mark thought it would be difficult to get any stronger.

Simply put, it was a difference in vessels [referring to the capacity to hold power].

The Black Dragon’s body was over 2 kilometers long. That massive body contained the energy of an entire planet.

But Legion was only about 185 centimeters tall. It was impossible to contain the body of a planet with this height.

This was the limit.

It was a miracle that he had become this strong.

But…

There was only one way left.

The Black Dragon’s clone, left by Legion’s maternal grandmother, was deeply asleep in subspace.

Legion took out two stones containing parts of the Black Dragon’s body.

The ultimate hidden card, hidden until the very end.

Even the Black Dragon must have completely forgotten about this.

-You’re really amazing. Your last hidden card is very cool.

“Thanks for the compliment.”

Legion took a deep breath, holding the two stones. He took this risk to reduce the Black Dragon’s power even a little.

If these two stones didn’t enhance his abilities, humanity would be doomed.

Legion wanted to ask a god he had never seen.

“I’m a Dark Lord, but why should I save humanity?”

Somehow, he didn’t want to conquer the continent. It seemed that the Dark Lord role didn’t suit his personality. If he survived this battle, he would throw away the Dark Lord’s job and live by spending all the money he had saved.

Yes, let’s build a harem.

Usually, in novels, the handsome protagonists are incredibly popular with women, aren’t they?

They spread their seeds well, and the most beautiful women in the Central Plains [a common setting in Asian fantasy, often referring to China] gave birth to their children in droves.

Why only me!

Why do I have to suffer without a girlfriend, without a kiss, without a bed scene until the end of the novel!

The goal is to build a harem.

-Stop talking nonsense and quickly swallow the Black Dragon’s stones. Oh, poor Draizir, hit by the Black Dragon’s tail and flew 10 kilometers. If he’s still alive after that, I’ll cut off my hand and eat it. I’ll chant a prayer in advance.

“He’s alive! Don’t kill innocent people.”

-Oh, Draizir’s body is the toughest in the universe. Whoa! The Black Dragon’s tail is pounding Draizir. An earthquake is happening. He’s really dead.

“I told you not to kill innocent people.”

Draizir was still wriggling, having been hit dozens of times by the massive tail.

Perhaps because of the undying Draizir, the Black Dragon, seemingly enraged, turned the tens of thousands of energy waves it had aimed at Legion towards Draizir.

-He looks like he’s really going to die now.

“Just hold a memorial service for Draizir’s death. A memorial service.”

Just then, the resurrected Lich Mamon combined with the Daganda Dragon and clung to the Black Dragon’s head. He was determined to stick to it and not fall off.

-Ugh, annoying. You bastards!

The Black Dragon shook its head madly, but Lich Mamon clung on tightly, determined not to fall off or die. Lich Mamon gave up attacking.

Instead.

“Hey, you son of a bitch. I’m not falling off. Do something. Try it.”

He shook the Black Dragon’s mentality with words like that.

For a fight that was waged for the sake of humanity’s survival, the level had become quite low.

However, the form of the fight didn’t matter, as long as they could defeat the Black Dragon.

Legion swallowed the Black Dragon’s stones.

-Deconstructing the stones containing the Black Dragon’s flesh.

Starting countdown. The body will be defenseless, so be careful of sudden attacks.

The countdown number pointed to 500.

What?

Other times it was only about 10 seconds, but why is it 500 now?

Legion couldn’t finish his thought.

The Black Dragon, with annoyance rising to the top of its head, looked directly at Legion.

-You are the source of all evil. Legion!

Black Dragon, you knew my name.

You acknowledge me as an opponent.

Yeah, I’m happy.

Like hell, I am!

Damn it! I’m screwed.

It’s firing its breath.

Mark! Do something!

-No, hide and decompose the Black Dragon’s body. Why are you revealing your body and doing this? Ugh! I’m going crazy. If you get hit directly, not even dust will be left.

So, there’s no way! You usually brag about having over 10,000 ways!

-Sorry. Ah, should I pray before I die?

What nonsense are you spouting, you crazy bastard!

The pressure of the breath becomes unimaginably high.

Legion wore a truly screwed-up expression.

* * *

Heaven bless us!

The earth cracked open, and flames erupted in a chain reaction. The flames instantly engulfed the massive Black Dragon’s body. The ground sank, and lava sizzled.

And-

Over ten thousand hellfiends rushed out and clung to the Black Dragon.

“I’m here! Son-in-law!”

Hell Lord Dwayne Johnson and his daughter, known as the Hell Empress Monsenger, led the hell army and arrived on this land.

“Dad! Son-in-law!”

Monsenger shouted at Dwayne Johnson.

“What else should I call him if not son-in-law?”

“Just call him by his name!”

“Call him by his name? So, you’re telling me to summon you and the hell army from another dimension where I was filming a movie just to be called by his name?”

“It’s just that this world is in a hurry.”

“Oh, since when? Come on. How many worlds are destroyed? At least 100 or more worlds are destroyed every second, and that many new worlds are born. And you’re saying you have to help someone specifically? Why is that?”

“Just because I know him.”

Monsenger hesitated.

Her dad was living the life of a movie star on a planet called Earth. He was happily making a lot of money. To summon her father again, she had to make him give up that life.

“Dad, please grant me just one wish without asking.”

“What is it, daughter?”

“I’d like you to save a man.”

What was it about that attachment?

She couldn’t bear to see her husband from her previous life die. Looking back now, he wasn’t such a bad husband. He was just a free spirit looking for his dream.

She hadn’t understood her husband from her previous life because she was worn out by life. (Originally, nightmares are beautified over time.)

Daughter-fool Dwayne Johnson abandoned his satisfying life on Earth without regret and returned to hell.

And he selected only the elite from among the 7 demon kings and 88 million hellfiends and immediately dispatched them to the human realm.

They consumed a tremendous amount of energy by crossing dimensions too hastily.

They could only use about 1/100 of their original power.

The problem was-

They mistakenly thought that was enough to catch the Black Dragon.

The Black Dragon’s compressed breath was fired at the hell army that was dragging it to hell.

Without filtering-

The powerful force directly hit hell.

-T-This can’t be. Half of hell has disappeared. The number of hellfiends lost in hell alone is over several million. This is an unbelievable amount of energy.

The demon king, who had appeared triumphantly, shouted with a dumbfounded face.

Dwayne Johnson looked at his daughter with a dumbfounded expression.

“Hey, hey. What the hell is that? How can such an existence exist in the world?”

Only then did Dwayne Johnson’s playful face harden.

He had never seen such a monster that surpassed the power of the Hell Lord in all his long years.

It was sucking up the energy of this planet itself. If that monster absorbed the planet’s energy in this way, it was only a matter of time before it became a dead star.

And it would gain infinite energy.

The vacuum of space would not be a barrier for it.

A monster that evolves relentlessly beyond common sense.

Dwayne Johnson had lightly arrived in the human realm with the thought of what kind of man his daughter was so attached to, but he was struck by a bolt from the blue.

Hell, which he ruled, had been half-burned by the breath fired by that monster. It was impossible to even count the number of hellfiends sacrificed.

“It’s a guy called the Black Dragon. The main culprit of all this.”

“So, no one knew that such a monster was growing like that for so long?”

“It’s to avoid repeating what happened 250 years ago.”

“That Black Dragon from 250 years ago is that guy?”

“That’s right.”

“It’s completely different from the guy back then.”

“The mind is the same. Only the physical combat power is different.”

“Wow! This is a big problem. How are we going to catch that?”

“If you can’t catch it, Dad, who will?”

“Daughter. Do you see it?”

“See what?”

“All the energy here is being absorbed by it. Our energy is also being absorbed by it. We must not fight it. We must hurry back to hell and close the dimensional gate. That’s the only way to live.”

“Is that what you have to say after appearing for the first time?”

“Then what do you want me to do? Do you even know how I feel about having to be chased away without even fighting because of the amount of content?”

“Hmm.”

Monsenger sighed.

“Go.”

“Okay, let’s go.”

“I’m not going.”

“What?”

“I said I’m not going.”

“If you stay here, you’ll have all your energy absorbed by that monster and die.”

“It’s not over yet.”

Monsenger looked at Draizir, Lich Mamon, and Preetia. They didn’t have to say anything to understand each other’s thoughts.

There were not many people left who could stand against the Black Dragon. A few ships and wyverns barely survived, but they could fall at any moment due to the Black Dragon’s tentacles.

“Daughter. Do you like that man that much?”

“I don’t like him.”

“You love him too much.”

“I told you I don’t.”

“Could it be that you’re already pregnant?”

“That’s not it!”

“Okay, I understand. I will do my best to defeat that monster for my daughter and grandson.”

“I told you that’s not it!”

He’s my dad, but he’s really stubborn. Listen to me. Don’t think alone.

“Don’t be shy.”

A terrifying fighting spirit arose from Dwayne Johnson’s muscular armor.

Normally, she would have been overjoyed that a reliable ally had appeared, but not now.

No one’s expression relaxed.

They thought the Black Dragon had to gather energy to use its breath.

But now they saw that that wasn’t the case.

It was playing around.

Three spaces opened above the Black Dragon’s head. The same energy as the breath was generated between them.

Three breaths.

Black Dragon…

What the hell are you?

Why do you push us into this pit of despair?

-This is the final act. Go.

Three breaths flashed.

Kukukukukukukukukuku!

All living things closed their eyes.

There was no more struggle.
