Magic Is Learned For Nothing [EN]: Chapter 87

Thanks to the ‘Exploding Awesomeness’ cheat skill, my brain is working perfectly.

I could also use a good portion of the magic I had learned while stuck in the time loop. The only downside was my overall combat power was much lower than Drazzer’s.

Drazzer’s overall combat power is 945.

In this state, I wouldn’t be a match for him at all. To spar, I need to roughly match his skills. Legion thinks he might need to release about three restrictions to match his skills with me.

Legion looked at Drazzer and shouted in his mind.

-Release stage 1 restriction.

A faint light flowed from Drazzer’s arm at that moment. Runes that had been invisible until now were glowing. Drazzer watched his left arm with a curious expression.

The light soon disappeared, and the runes were no longer visible.

-Drazzer’s overall combat power has increased.

Huhu, let’s see how much it is.

-1,295, 1,589, 1,927, 2,365…….

Oh, it’s rising more than I thought.

-2,743, 3,155, 3,576, 3,989…….

Oh, I only released one restriction.

-4,382, 4,679, 4,874.

헐~ [Korean slang expressing disbelief or shock]. What should I do?

Drazzer’s overall combat power surpassed Legion’s. Drazzer swung his left arm around. Once that guy starts emitting his aura, ‘Fighting Spirit,’ his attack power will increase exponentially.

His expression clearly said, “Master, you’re dead…….”

Looking at his expression, he really seems like he’s going to hit me.

“I’m coming.”

“No. Don’t come.”

“Just kidding.”

“I’m not kidding. I’m going to seal that left arm again.”

“Then before that…… our master should get a beating once. You need to know how your servant feels.”

“I don’t want to.”

“If you don’t want to, then get married.”

What is this……? Even with just a little increase in combat power, he’s making such a fuss. If two restrictions are released, the positions of master and servant will be reversed.

Drazzer’s entire body moved quickly.

The movement is the same as usual. But the formidable fighting spirit emanating from his left arm created the illusion that even his footwork was moving faster.

Straight.

Drazzer’s fist was solely concentrated with fighting spirit and struck Legion’s side. It was a display of confidence that any barrier could be broken with force.

콰지지직! [Sound of something breaking or exploding]

A powerful shockwave covered Legion.

But Legion didn’t fall back or anything. He twisted one hand to block Drazzer’s attack.

“Damn it! Are you trying to kill me?”

Legion twisted his lips and waved his hand. Then, he loosened his shoulders. He shook his head from side to side, and his eyes changed.

“I admit it. You’re damn strong. But you still can’t attack your master.”

“You’re saying don’t take your servant lightly.”

Drazzer concentrated magic power in his left hand. Although his left hand is restricted, he can finally use proper power against his master. Usually, he shrinks whenever he stands in front of his master.

My master is decent compared to others his age, but he still has a long way to go.

Looking at Drazzer, Legion took out the Jungcheol Staff.

“Yeah, you need at least that weapon. You’ll last a bit longer. Try to withstand three moves. Then I’ll praise you.”

“Hmph! You’re mistaken too!”

Legion slammed the staff on the ground.

Then, dozens of fireballs appeared above his head. It was just a number of fireballs increased by the amount of magic power.

Drazzer was startled and stopped walking. Ah, he realized.

“Now do you realize who I am? I am…….”

Yes, the master is a mage.

I had forgotten because he was so good at punching. The master’s true strength comes from converting magic power into magic.

“Damn it.”

Drazzer’s lips twisted.

“Okay, if you withstand three moves, I’ll praise you.”

Legion’s magic power began to rise rapidly.

Heinz, who was hiding his face, arrived at the mansion.

With the guidance of the maids, he could easily find where Legion was. He had replaced all the maids and servants with his subordinates some time ago. The two knights were also brainwashed and became loyal pawns.

Unless someone is watching him from the sky, no one will know that he found this place.

“There he is.”

Heinz found Legion. Legion and Drazzer were sparring.

He stopped walking.

Legion, the Baron, and ‘Crazy Drazzer’ are sparring?

It’s crazy. That Drazzer is doing something called sparring? There must be hundreds of people whose heads he has smashed in the name of sparring.

Could it be that his dream will be shattered today?

Anyway, due to that crazy Drazzer, the ‘Mithril Mine Acquisition Plan’ held by Baron Legion has been completely put on hold.

Instead, it was tentatively concluded to approach in a different way.

That’s that…….

Heinz didn’t think Legion was serving Drazzer. He could get a glimpse of Legion’s tendencies. He suspects that there might be some kind of deal between Legion and Drazzer.

This will confirm it.

“Let’s see their skills.”

Heinz watched Legion and Drazzer’s sparring from a distance with his arms crossed.

콰콰콰콰쾅! [Sound of a massive explosion]

“Oh! As expected…… amazing.”

It was so violent that it couldn’t be called sparring.

Magic power burst out like an explosion, and fists and feet went back and forth. Every time Legion’s staff moved, magic exploded from all directions.

Legion’s magic!

It’s really amazing. To fire magic so recklessly!

When he started using magic in earnest, Drazzer couldn’t use his hands or feet and kept getting pushed back.

“This is bad.”

Heinz clenched his fists without realizing it.

As expected, Drazzer is a great being. He deflects most magic with his muscles, not even defending. The agility that transcends imagination and the attack power emanating from his left arm transcended imagination.

What’s surprising is Legion’s ability to attack and defend against all of that.

What kind of mage…….

He avoids Drazzer’s attacks.

He deflects to the side, turns to the side and kicks the side, and in that gap, he turns back again and casts fireballs that he cast in an instant and flies straight back.

And the 5th circle explosion created in that gap!

콰과과광!!! [Sound of a powerful explosion]

Drazzer ignored the aftermath of the explosion that burst with a roar and dug in.

The distance between the two narrowed in an instant.

“Is this the end this time?”

Heinz clenched his fist without realizing it.

At that moment, Drazzer’s left fist began to stretch towards Legion’s abdomen. If he gets hit, it’s over.

But!

Legion boldly swung his staff to block Drazzer’s fist. And using the recoil, he flew his body back.

“Baron Legion! What is that movement…….”

The Drazzer he sees is really strong. Of course, he doesn’t think he’s giving his all. He’s probably sparring to match Baron Legion’s skills.

Even so, he exuded a tremendous fighting spirit that he couldn’t handle.

That Drazzer!

He knelt down. With a bang, he flew more than 10 meters and plunged headfirst.

A beast was hidden in that smile that was always bright.

Until now, he had no idea about it.

Gulp.

Heinz got goosebumps all over his body.

* * *

Legion and Heinz had breakfast together.

“Do you like the food here?”

Heinz asked. Since when has he been speaking respectfully to Legion? The position of Baron and Baron. It was strange to anyone who saw it. Moreover, Heinz is much older than Legion.

But their conversation seemed perfectly normal.

It was something that even Legion hadn’t realized.

“It’s just so-so.”

Legion said honestly.

“Really? You seem to have quite a picky palate. I know that the chef here is quite skilled.”

“Yes? Ah, is that so? I’m sorry if you felt bad. I certainly didn’t intend to put down the chef here.”

“I know. You’re not the type to do that.”

“Come to our territory later. I’ll treat you to a meal.”

“Hoo, you seem to have a strong pride in your food.”

“Hehe, the food our chef makes is quite amazing. It’s like a drug. Once you taste it, you can’t stop.”

“Are you saying he’s that great of a chef?”

“I don’t know if he’s great or not, but I’m the most satisfied. The maids and servants working at our mansion are the same. The married servants say they fight with their wives every day.”

“Why?”

“After eating the food made by the chef, they feel like they’re eating poop when they eat what their wives make. Haha. It’s nonsense.”

“Hmm.”

Heinz was inwardly surprised.

If he makes the taste of other food like poop, he can be said to be a great artisan. Moreover, wasn’t the chef assigned here originally Count Persimmon’s exclusive chef? If he says that chef’s food is not good…… I was curious about how skilled the chef in Baron Legion’s territory would be.

“Can I know the name of that chef?”

“He’s just a chef who’s famous in the countryside.”

“I’m just curious.”

“His name is Decarson.”

“Decarson?”

“Yes.”

Heinz tilted his head. It was a name he had heard somewhere.

Ah! I remembered.

Dragon Chef Decarson.

A legendary artisan who said that the food made with dragons was the best, such as making dragons with dragon feet, making sundae [Korean blood sausage] with dragon intestines, and making giblet stew with dragon innards.

But Heinz doesn’t believe it.

There are no dragon slayers in this era. There were none throughout the human realm.

But a dragon chef?

A chef who catches dragons, prepares them by part, and eats them. Hey, you. Say something that makes sense.

Perhaps not only himself but almost everyone on the continent would have dismissed it as crazy nonsense and not believed it.

So Heinz immediately shook his head. He also erased the word dragon chef from his mind.

“That’s a name I haven’t heard of.”

“See, I told you. He’s just a chef with some skills in the countryside. It just suits our taste. It will be bland for city people’s tastes.”

“That could be.”

Legion drank water. He wiped his mouth with the prepared handkerchief and leaned over slightly to ask.

“How did that go? Did you find out?”

“Yes. I found out.”

“Is that rumor true?”

“I can only admire who the Baron’s informant is. It was a top secret that even I didn’t know.”

“Then?”

“That’s right. There is definitely a jewel called ‘Thunder Zircon’ in the Count’s mansion.”

“Ohohoho.”

Legion covered his mouth with both palms.

He almost shouted for joy. Although it’s not an item in my hands yet, I have no doubt that it will soon be in my hands.

“Can you find out where it is?”

“It’s not an easy task. But if you risk your life, there’s nothing you can’t find out.”

Legion realized what Heinz was saying.

You’re a fool if you don’t understand. I’m going to risk my life, so give me that much reward.

Okay. Okay. If only ‘Thunder Zircon’ comes into my hands, why can’t I hand over that book?

Legion opened the subspace and took out a book titled ‘If anyone could become a 6th circle mage, I would never have challenged the 6th circle.’ When the subspace opened, an eerie song called ‘I hate the years that took that girl away!’ flowed out. When something was about to come out through the subspace, Legion struck it wildly with his staff.

“Read the atmosphere! You son of a bitch!”

Then, the slightly visible bone disappeared into the subspace with a very painful groan.

Heinz was really surprised.

“Wh-what is that?”

“What are you talking about?”

“I think something just appeared from the subspace. It looked like a monster with tremendous magic power.”

“You saw it wrong.”

“Yes?”

“You saw it wrong.”

“Ah, no. I clearly chanted a strange spell…….”

“Uh-huh…… you don’t seem to want this.”

Legion shook the book ‘If anyone could become a 6th circle mage, I would never have challenged the 6th circle.’

Heinz had no choice but to shut his mouth. It seemed like there was nothing good to ask anymore.

“That’s right. I think I saw it wrong.”

“Can you find out for sure?”

Legion asked as he handed the book to Heinz.

“Of course. I’ll risk my life.”

Heinz bowed deeply as he received the book.
