The Exiled Necromancer Wants To Create a Bone Dragon - Chapter 51
51 – How to attack the South
Hermona’s skeleton set up a guard and the four of them rested, but were attacked twice in one night. Desert lizards appeared, perhaps because they were in the outskirts, but there were three of them in total. Ed and Hermona took turns staying up all night, thinking that the desert lizards coming out of the outskirts were going out in the direction of Les Sand while digging in the sand wind.
The next day, while eating the food brought from subspace, Ed decided on a simple course of action.
“When a strong enemy comes out, I fight. I have few Skeleton Knights available, so it’s easier for me to fight with three people retreating.”
People usually think of powerful enemies in the South like Desert King Lizard and Heavy Rock Turtle, but Ed had more than that. Of course, considering that few people would fight the two alone, you might think that Ed was overconfident, but the two people who heard the story from the north and the one person who watched it understood it to some extent.
He knew that Ed was such a person, but he was aware that he was an irregular among the super-class necromancers who single-handedly defeat monsters that a living monster called Gigant-level monster could not deal with, but Glowin asked cautiously.
“I’ve heard that Ed is incredibly strong, but the environment here and the number of summons are few, so you can’t use your full strength. Will that be okay?”
At Glowyn’s question, Ed raised his left hand. And when I injected mana, the black core floated on top of my palm, and as I increased the amount of mana I injected, the black core began to freeze. Even in winter, in the south, where the temperature is very high, it would be comfortable to give up making ice like that there, but Ed made it.
Frowning for a moment, Ed calculated the amount of mana required to remain frozen, then clenched his fist and the frozen core turned into mana and scattered.
“I can fight for about 10 minutes with all my strength. Any more than that is difficult. Defeating the enemy within 10 minutes is ideal, but it gives the three of us enough time to escape, so let’s do that.”
“Wouldn’t it be better to fight together until the end? Even with weak power… I think it would be better with Hermona.”
Compared to Glowin and the two Necromancers, who had no fighting ability, Arebijou did not include himself in his military force, which was insufficient to be called a military force. Of course, since Arebijou is also a paladin, he can easily defeat Desert Lizard or Grass Dire Wolf 1v1, but he thought it would be more difficult than that, so it was natural.
“If Ed has to deal with an enemy with all his strength, my power will hardly work.
That was the case with the Gigant-class demons that Hermona dealt with in the north. The monsters in the south have weak magic resistance, but what Ed was targeting now was a dragon that he thought would be more powerful than a Gigant-class monster, so he had to use great skills to hit it.
Ed, who decided to get the help of the two and the worries of the two, nodded slightly and said.
“First of all, confirming its existence is the priority, and we intend to avoid combat as much as possible.”
‘Anyone can see that he wants to fight.’
The three women could see the regret on Ed’s face.

Looking at the scene unfolding around him, Glowwin thought.
‘What kind of enemy is the Necromancer fighting against?’
From the perspective of Glowwin, the heavy rock turtle whose strongest monster he had ever seen was dead, Hermona’s summoning technique was unbelievable. When Ed, who was in the lead, faithfully defeated the monster, Hermona turned the monster into a zombie and continued to raise it.
There were twenty desert lizard and grass dire wolf zombies in the vicinity, and the extra monster corpses were put in a subspace. In the north, close to 50 of these necromancers gathered to form one group, so it was possible to imagine that there were far more summoned creatures roaming around in the north.
While Glowin was feeling awe at the combat power of the necromancer, whose troops were constantly being replenished every time he fought, Ed standing at the very front caught his eye. Ed, who competed against necromancers with many troops to become a special necromancer, is said to have proven himself by fighting many enemies each time.
‘Can Ed fight the dragon and win?’
It didn’t feel right. Still, if Ed had to fight a dragon, I wanted to watch it rather than run away.
“It’s full of small rodents.”
Ed said to himself as he pulled out the sword from the Desert Lizard’s head. If you look at the book ‘Ecology of Southern Monsters’, there were various monsters in the South. The number was roughly over thirty, but the number of monsters he had subdued so far was so small that he could count them on one hand.
The trust in the book had fallen a lot since before, but feeling that it was really useless, Ed moved his gaze to his destination, the volcano. The volcano seemed to be slightly swaying as if the hot heat was swirling around, and if you looked under it, you could see a group of desert lizards.
Even when he focused his eyes on Mana, there was no monster that could be called the Desert King Lizard. Thinking it was unusual to meet the Heavy Rock Turtle the other day, Ed turned around to see the three men following him. Hermona with 20 zombies, the paladin Arrebijou who had no problems with this kind of march, and Glowwin who were most worried followed well.
“I’ll rest a little and then go in.”
said Ed at the edge of the shady forest before going to the arid lands near the volcano. Hermona tried to detect the enemy by spreading the zombies far away, as she did in the north, and the two, relatively normal people, sat comfortably.
“Ed, if this is a subspace, wouldn’t there be something special on the way to that volcano?”
Ed looked at the volcano once again at Arevijou’s question. To be honest, when Ed went straight, he didn’t feel that this place was special like a subspace. Because the river continued infinitely when it stretched left and right, so I doubted it.
“For now, I can only see a group of Desert Lizards. Using the Power of Truth that Mr. Levy possesses is also a way, but right now it’s a pity, right?”
“Because it can be used once when it is decisive.”
Arebijou is also a Holy Knight of the Church of Truth, so although he can use authority, there is a big difference from the saintess who can use it as many times as he wants. just once a month. In addition, the power of coercion was weak. While taking a silent break, Hermona slightly frowned.
“Ed Zombie got hit. Something’s coming.”
From noble mtl dot com
“Senior, where are you from?”
“The forest on the left.”
As Hermona told the story, a strange sound was heard that even the four of them could hear.
– Sasasa sasasa sasasak
At the sound of light footsteps as if coming through the bushes, Arebizu and Glowin jumped up from their seats, and Ed and Hermona immediately took out more summoned beasts from subspace. As two skeleton knights equipped with swords and shields walked forward, a huge centipede appeared, thicker than Ed’s waist and as tall as his knees. The sharp teeth on his head left the traces of the zombie grass dire wolf.
“aaah!”
“That?!”
When the giant worm appeared, Glowyn screamed and Arrebijou was stunned as well. Ed and Hermona, who had often come into contact with the twisted existence of monsters, thought about how to deal with them, but Hermona moved first.
“Jerky food, prepare a lot of blood.”
When blood began to flow from the tips of Hermona’s ten fingers, she opened her arms wide and crossed them. A red net embroidered the air to block the advance of the giant centipede, the giant centipede, and the speed of the giant centipede caught in the net slowed down very slightly.
And that slight slowdown came as an ample opportunity for Ed. While amplifying the Skeleton Knight’s core, Ed ran out with a sword wrapped in mana. The giant centipede, seeing a fearless human running head-on toward it, threatened it with its sharp teeth, and at that moment the decision was over.
Placing Skeleton Knights to the left and right, Ed ran forward and jumped to avoid the sharp teeth, then plunged his sword into the center of the Giant Centipede. Even though it was hard armor, it was soft compared to the heavy rock turtle’s shell, so Ed’s mana wrapped around the sword was able to make a wound without a group, and the two legs supporting the large body began to be cut off by the Skeleton Knight.
-Tadadadak!
The Skeleton Knight ran while slicing his leg, and Ed ran while cutting his body in half. Wherever the three swords made wounds, thick green bodily fluid gushed out, and the body, which had been supported by numerous legs, began to collapse. Ed, who was running while balancing on the body of the centipede writhing in pain, felt the giant stampede stop struggling and stopped.
“It’s good that the knife is stuck well.”
A giant centipede from the ecology of southern monsters, it was written to be careful of its sharp teeth and to be careful of tightening attacks by covering it with the whole body, but fortunately, it ran in a straight line and was able to kill it comfortably. Ed came down from the top of his body and slowly turned around to concentrate on finding the magic stone.
When he went back to the three people while looking for the magic stone, he found out that the magic stone was near the head and ordered the skeleton knight to split his head in half. When the upper was removed, a blue magic stone the size of a fist was wrapped in green body fluid, and Ed couldn’t help but tilt his head at the sight of the magic stone.
“I think this is the same as Heavy Rock Turtle’s magic stone?”
It could be said that the monster’s magic stone contained pure mana, but it was a prize that strengthened the theory that the dragon artificially created the southern ecosystem.
