The Exiled Necromancer Wants To Create a Bone Dragon

28 – Saint of the South

Ed came out of the living room first. The priest may have been waiting outside, but with an alert expression on his face, he slightly nodded and greeted Ed, who also accepted him in the same way. Then, Saint Mary and Holy Knight Arebig came out of the drawing room one after another, and Ed followed them.

Outside of the church’s dormitory, the well and the place where priests’ clothes were hung on the clothesline seemed like a suitable place for a sparring match, in Ed’s opinion. As Ed was looking around, Arebizou removed the sword sheath from his belt. Edgar, who heard the sound, looked at Arebizou and said.

“Wouldn’t it be hot to wear such armor?”

Arebijou glared at Ed for a long time before saying,

“Temperature control is built into the paladin’s armor as standard.”

After all, do paladins also wear armor made by the magic tool maker and necromancer? In a way, it melted well everywhere except the northern part in the form of magic tools, but I thought that ‘some’ necromancers ruined the image of all necromancers.

“I will fight without using a shield.”

Swinging the sword while still in the scabbard did not result in a cut, but only resulted in a broken bone. Ed knows it well because he put his sword in a scabbard and hit people. So Ed gave a brief glance at Maria, who was standing behind Arevijou.

If it was a saint, she would be good at fixing broken bones.

“Saintess, I have a question. Can I use all methods?”

“Yes. It’s a place where you prove your skills by defeating Arebijou.”

“Then give me a signal and I’ll start.”

After hearing Ed’s words, Maria created a light bullet with her fingertips and fired it in a parabolic direction. The light bullet ascended the sky at a slow speed and slowly fell between Ed and Arebizou.

As soon as the light bullet hit the floor and disappeared, Arebijou grabbed his sword and charged Ed.

Ed, who saw Arebizu holding the sword with both hands and swinging it with a lunge, created a core within his body and increased his physical abilities first. Ed, who had improved his visual acuity, reaction speed, and strength, dove into Arebizou’s arms as he swung with a large movement and struck him in the abdomen.

-Kaaang

“Big?!”

Edgar’s mana-laden fist struck Arrebizu in the abdomen, and he retreated back without even fully swinging the sword he was holding with both hands. Arebijou frowned and stepped back, put a hand on his stomach, and used mana to ease the pain in his stomach.

“Mr. Frozenborn, weren’t normal necromancers more like wizards?”

Maria, who was watching him, looked at Ed and said.

“Isn’t that a normal necromancer?”

Ed lightly brushed his aching left hand and waited for Arebijou to aim the sword again.

Arebijou completely let go of the pain in his stomach, then pointed his sword at Ed again. This time, he gripped the sword with his right hand and wrapped mana lightly in his left hand as if to substitute for a shield.

“Go again.”

“great.”

Like Maria’s question, I thought of Ed as a ‘magician’ and swung his sword with a big motion to subdue him in one blow, but in the first place, the sword of a paladin was a sword to protect, an impregnable defense befitting the castle of Guardian, blocking the enemy with a sword containing mana of light. that was the purpose

Seeing the changed appearance of Arebijou, Ed also raised the cold attribute because it seemed that the luck of using fists would no longer work. The heat in the south made it uncomfortable for Ed to use cold magic to the level he wanted, but he was able to hold the ice sword in both hands thanks to his use of Corsis.

‘The robber is a little uneasy.’

When Ed was in the North, the mana required to make a sword of this level was low. It was nice to be able to make it smaller and harder, but I thought being affected by the weather wasn’t always an advantage.

“Magic Swordsman…?”

Seeing Ed wielding two ice swords, Maria couldn’t get to know Ed even more.

Maria thought that the necromancer was someone who cursed people while gloomyly touching bones and corpses, but it was more physical than expected. Maria lowered her gaze slightly to examine Ed’s body, and she could see that Ed’s body was well-trained, although he was not shaggy because he was wearing thin clothes because of the heat.

‘Why didn’t I think of seeing Mr. Frozenborn’s body?’

I’ve seen male naked bodies while treating patients, so I thought I had some tolerance… . Maria’s gaze lifted slightly. Silver hair with a slight bluish tint was shining brightly in the sunlight, and blue eyes with a slight smile seemed to be overflowing with confidence against Arrebijou.

‘I only saw the face.’

Maria felt her face heat up a little.

And it wasn’t just Maria’s face that was burning.

Arebijou now took a slow step to fight properly. Ed decided to create a variable for the movement that would have completely disappeared if he had been holding a shield. I made a small ice needle on the back of Arebijou and put it on the nape of my neck.

The small ice needle, which did not use corsis, could not stand the hot southern weather and turned into water when it touched the nape of Arebijou. But it was very cold because the ice had melted and turned into water. Arebijou trembled slightly at the coolness felt on the nape of his neck, and a gap appeared.

Ed, aiming for the gap and digging in, swung the sword in his left hand wide. Arebijou immediately came to his senses and swung the sword in his right hand to block Ed’s sword.

-Kwajik

The sword of ice that collided with Arebijou’s sword immediately shattered into pieces of ice.

‘The strength of the ice is weak.’

Arrebijou thought Ed was a little fortunate that it was difficult to use ice magic in the south, and swung a mana-filled fist instead of a shield. However, instead of swinging the sword he was holding in his right hand, Ed activated his core by swinging the ice sword he was holding only by the handle.

-Pabababak!

The sword, which had collided with Arrebijou’s sword and was fragmented, was restored in an instant. Arebijou couldn’t react to the ice sword that suddenly grew back and opened his eyes wide.

– Kaang!

The ice sword that hit Arebijou on the shoulder was completely shattered. Arrebijou, who stopped fully extending his left fist toward Ed, looked blankly at his wet right shoulder.

‘The amount lost during restoration is larger than expected.’

If it was a skeleton bone, it didn’t matter if it was hot or cold, so it stuck again, but it melted quickly the moment the ice was separated from the core. As originally expected, it would have ended with a sword strike on the shoulder, but the restoration was not perfect, so it was broken once again.

“twice.”

Ed looked at Arrebijou and said. Arevijou looked at Ed with a more relaxed face than the first time, as he was a little shocked that he had lost twice without being able to properly divide the sum.

“I have more to show you. Would you like to continue?”

“Kuu…”

Arebijou clamped his mouth shut and raised his sword again and aimed it at Ed.

Ed saw that and thought he was in a good state to use the curse now.

‘Curses don’t work well on strong-willed people.’

That’s why the curse barrage was quite helpful in a state where the will was reduced like this.

Curse of Blindness, Curse of Loss of Stamina, Curse of Exhaustion.

Ed threw three curses at Arrebijou in an instant with a shadowless spear.

At the moment, Arebijou’s eyes darkened, his armor felt heavy, and his entire body was drained of strength. Arrebijou, who suddenly lost his sight, could feel a cool aura on his neck.

“third time.”

Since his hearing was still alive, Arebizou was able to easily tell that the cool energy he felt on his neck was the ice sword that Ed was holding in his right hand.

“curse…?”

“you’re right.”

– perfect

When Ed snapped his fingers, his darkened eyes brightened. When Arebizou saw Ed coming closer to aim his sword at his neck, his head felt feverish and he fell down.

“Huh? Mr. Paladin?”

-Just right

“The curse has all been lifted?”

Ed was taken aback when Arrebijou collapsed on the floor with no trace of Corsis. Maria also came quickly and sprinkled Harmonix mana on Arrebijou’s head to help restore his health. When Arrebijou’s breathing, which had been speeding up, returned to normal, Maria looked up at Ed and said,

“I know you’re stronger than Arrebijou. So what did you really come to the South for?”

“I came here to relieve my stress. I got a little angry after losing to the students at Setin.”

“…foot.”

Because it was Maria who had used her powers and talked to many people, she could feel Ed’s sincerity.

“Wouldn’t it be okay to subdue monsters to relieve stress while coming to the South, and also sell monster corpses to make money?”

When Ed added a word, Maria seemed to understand why Aunt Enild had asked her to protect Ed in her own name. Maria stood up and looked up at Ed slightly because of the height difference.

“Okay. Ed Frozenborn, I will be your guardian. Even if you use the power of a necromancer, I will protect you in the name of Maria Setin Quasar, a saintess of the Church of Truth. Please donate to the church.”

“In the first place, do you have to pay if you are protected by a saintess?”

“Those who believe in Trillia or those who have been helped by the Church of Truth tend to donate a certain portion of their profits voluntarily. Even in the church, even if my aunt helped me, I would say something. But most of those things can be silenced with money, right?”

“Okay. Saint lady, do you need the fact that ‘a necromancer donated to the church’?”

“Yes. The larger the quantity, the better.”

Thinking that the saintess was more snobbish than he thought, Ed replied.

“Okay. I’ll make a lot of money by the end of this year and donate it.”
