The Exiled Necromancer Wants To Create a Bone Dragon

21 – Road to the South

The inside of the train was noisy because many people who had heard the engineer’s announcement were looking out. There were occasional monsters blocking the train going down to the south, but it was rare for them to be large. In addition, people knew about the large monsters living in the forest because it was two days away from the center, not the desert terrain of the south yet.

On that noisy train, Ed approached the flight attendant.

“I think you have quite a bit of practical experience. Can you get off?”

It seems that it is a little rare for a person to step out in a situation like this, but the flight attendant made a surprised face, then cleaned up his expression and asked Ed.

“Could you show me your guild registration certificate or equivalent?”

“There is nothing like that, but he was a soldier.”

‘Could I have used it if I had registered with the Necromancer Association?’ He thought about that for a moment, but said he was a soldier. Glowin, who followed behind, also knew this, so it was okay to tell the flight attendant.

“Ah. I’ll open it.”

And the word soldier seemed to have the same power as a guild registration certificate, so the attendant opened the door of the carriage and Ed got off the train first.

“I’m in the group too!”

Glowin, who followed a little later, also came down with Ed.

“Ed, are you okay?”

“Yes. There are people getting off besides me.”

Ed said to Glowwin when he saw a slightly older-looking man getting off the front. The man was wearing light armor with fancy patterns and fur, and wore a sword at his waist. Then, feeling Ed and Glowyn’s presence, whether the man was wearing the armor for good or not, he looked back and stopped and waited.

As Ed and Glowyn arrived on foot, the man spoke first.

“I’m glad to see someone with a great spirit of sacrifice. Are you a wizard by any chance?”

I can do magic, martial arts, and summoning… . He defined himself as a necromancer because he could do all sorts of things, but Ed thought that being a wizard would be enough for now.

“Yes. I worked as an assistant instructor at Cetin Divinity Academy.”

I’ve only been working for a month, but it’s true, so I added.

“Oh. Then you must have enough skills. You are reliable. How about the woman next to you?”

“I’m a companion, I’m here to see.”

Glowyn answered while sticking to Ed’s side.

“hahahaha. It won’t be a big deal. Let’s go forward.”

Ed knew that the man hadn’t introduced himself, so he thought the story of Setin was for nothing. Then Glowyn spoke.

“Looking at the driver from Mosterinos, it looks like the distinguished guests were on the same train as us, right?”

Hearing that, the man nodded slightly with a slightly surprised look.

“Do you recognize me?”

“I know a little bit about patterns because I have a job where I meet various people.”

“You’re not a normal person. Thank you for recognizing me.”

The necromancer, the knight, and the innkeeper crossed the cab at the front of the train and arrived within sight of a large monster blocking the road.

“Oh, that’s it.”

Ed said as soon as he saw the large monster. An ogre that seemed to be about 3m tall was sitting on the rails. A ferocious ogre with low intelligence might have crashed into a train, but the ogre sat there as if waiting for something.

“That must be a repeat offender.”

Glowin looked at Ed and said, and the knight also opened his ears.

“The guild would not prefer fighting ogres on the tracks, so they would use the method of luring them by giving them food. I think they do this because they are trying to fail the hunt or get snacks.”

Glowin, who saw Ed look a little glum after hearing that, said with a smile.

“If it can cause less damage, wouldn’t it be better to uproot it?”

“Wouldn’t it be troublesome if the tracks were damaged?”

“No matter how broken it is, if you sell the ogre’s body, you’ll make a lot of money, right?”

The driver who was listening to the two people’s story intervened.

“Wizard, are you going to fight the ogre? There aren’t many applicants, and the only ones who can fight are actually the two of us. If a problem arises, it will be difficult to deal with and we will lose. It would be better to wait for the guild.”

‘The ogre’s corpse… . Because it’s difficult to keep it in the sub-space we have now.’

It might fit if you removed all the skeletons and shoved them into the subspace, but Ed thought that handling three humanoid summons similar in size to humans would be better than turning an ogre into an undead and taking it with you. Heeding the knight’s words, Ed slowly walked towards the ogre.

“When something goes wrong, everyone on the train is at risk!”

The article said the truth. It was okay even if the engineer did not come out at the level that he hoped for resources from talented people in preparation for an unexpected provocation.

“Mr. Glowyn, please don’t follow me. Knight, please take good care of me.”

Ed dropped Glowyn, who was contemplating whether or not to follow him, and walked off the track and into the woods.

“No… a wizard alone can kill an ogre… it’s not like he has multiple lives…”

The knight muttered blankly at Ed’s incomprehensible behavior.

“Sorry. I missed you…”

Glowyn decided to wait in front of the train to avoid incurring Ed’s disapproval. Just looking at the results was enough to report to the Carla.

*

“Ogres have similarities in size, but they are definitely not gigantic.”

Its body was painted green, perhaps because it rubbed against the leaves, but the ogre’s skin was basically copper-colored because it saw a lot of sunlight. Compared to the dark-skinned monsters that seemed out of this world, they had a very comfortable skin color.

As soon as Ed entered the forest, he injected mana into his core and ran through the trees. Then, standing at a right angle between herself, the ogre, and the train, she used the ice needle. Three ice spikes appeared in an instant and flew towards the ogre’s head.

– Pew Pew Pew

“Turn it off?”

The ogre with ice spittle in its head made a stupid sound. It felt a little odd to see that bewildered look, but Ed threw the ice needle once more.

– Pew Pew Pew

Ed just tried to pull it out, but the ice needle, which did little damage to the ogre, was enough for the ogre to think that someone from the guild had come. Thinking that sometimes when he was hungry, the guys who gave out snacks would call him something cold if he was blocking the road, the ogre calmly got up from the track and headed for the forest where Ed was staying.

When the ogre with ice spittle stuck in his face stroked his face with his hand, the ice spittle all crumbled away. The part embedded in the skin quickly melted and disappeared, and blood began to drip from the ogre’s face. Ed used the curse as soon as the ogre came within range.

Curse of Impaired Judgment, Curse of Suppression, Curse of Insensitivity, Curse of Excessive Bleeding.

And when he was cursed with excessive bleeding, the ogre’s blood dripped and started to flow from the wound. When the blood flowed so much that he couldn’t open his left eye properly, the ogre screamed in protest at the little man in front of him.

“Keep it off!!!”

However, that was all the ogre expressed emotion.

“He’s a guy whose curse works better than I thought.”

If the effect of the curse was weak and the ogre attacked, he was thinking of fighting with all his might, but since he was more vulnerable to the curse than he thought, Ed blew more ice needles.

– Pew Pew Pew

This time, the face aimed at the whole body and fired a wide range of ice saliva, but the ogre didn’t want to lose sight, so he only blocked his face with his large hands. Ed used another curse on the ogre, who had ice spittle all over his body and blood was leaking from small wounds. This time, the curse of lethargy, bleeding all over the body, and exhausted energy due to the curse, the ogre approached Ed with both hands hanging down and bleeding.

‘Should I go into a frenzy next time and start a fight?’

Obviously, ogres are strong monsters, but this half-bred ogre was no match for Ed. I don’t know if Ed used big magic from the beginning to raise the hostility to the maximum, but the ogre showed a disappointing reaction to Ed when he attacked by gradually grinding it.

Ed kept firing ice needles at the ogre that kept coming towards him, and the ogre, paralyzed by the curse of numbness, didn’t even think to stop the attack, so his entire body was covered in blood. When the ogre arrived in front of Ed, making a bloody path, Ed focused on his leg muscles and cursed him with exhaustion, and the ogre instantly knelt down.

– thump thump

As the massive, bleeding body knelt down, Ed created a sword of ice. A black light hovered slightly inside the ice, so anyone versed in magic would know that a necromancer had created a magic sword using Corsis, but no one was by his side now.

Ed, who created a core inside his body and infused it with mana, leaped and decapitated the ogre at once.

-Tooung

The decapitated ogre’s body fell backwards on its knees. Seeing this, Ed removed the cursed energy from the body and head of the dead ogre. Even in a dead state, if it spurts out blood, anyone can see that it is cursed.

“Even monsters in the south are in trouble if this happens.”

The appearance of a large monster called an ogre gave Ed excitement, but it did not give him satisfaction. An ogre that foolishly burned its life without knowing what was happening to it because it had been handled by too many people. This kind of ogre was not worth turning into a skeleton or zombie.

After getting rid of the ice sword, Ed put his hands in his pockets and came out of the forest. It seemed like the train wouldn’t move anyway until the guild called by the driver settled the ogre’s body, but Ed sat on the tracks instead of the ogre.

And Glowin and the knight, who saw the scene from afar, ran down the track and arrived at Ed.

“Mr. Ed? What happened to the ogre?”

“Killed it. There’s a body there, but I wouldn’t recommend looking at it.”

“Already?”

“lie…?”

Glowyn stayed still after hearing that, and the knight immediately ran into the forest. Seeing that there was no superfluity in his movements using mana, Ed was able to infer that that knight was also a skilled player in his own right. Now, Ed wondered what kind of person he would be if he were a high-ranking guest in a kingdom with the long name Mosterinos.

“What the hell… what kind of magic did you use?”

A knight with a pale complexion walked out of the forest and asked Ed. What he saw in the forest was the body of an ogre with many small holes all over its body and a large amount of blood gushing out from there, so that its upper body was covered in blood and its cleanly severed head.

“I just made a small hole in its body, released its strength, and cut off its head.”

Aside from cursing, Ed did exactly that.

“Driver, is it okay if I come and have a look?”

When Glowin asked the knight, the knight shook his head with a still pale face.

“It’s never a good sight for the general public to see.”

Glowyn nodded involuntarily at the knight’s coercive words.

Of course, after a while, even to the people of the guild who came to feed the ogre and lead it out of the tracks, the dead body of the ogre with its head cut off after bleeding all over the body was not good to see.
