39 – Monster Paradise.

Ed approached the corpse after confirming that all the stones attached to the Heavy Rock Turtle’s back had been poured down.

‘It’s hard to turn a guy with mana into a zombie, but this guy uses magic.’

After death, the mana in the body dissipates and it becomes easier to accept the temporary core, but I had no idea what the Heavy Rock Turtle would be like. If you think of Heavy Rock Turtle as a northern monster, you should give up raising it as a zombie.

‘It seems to have a magic stone. I just need to get rid of that.’

Inside the large body, mana was concentrated in the form of a small lump. Compared to the body of 10m, it was a very small stone, but considering that he used that small magic stone to maintain his large body and used magic to blow rocks, it seemed to be a high-grade stone.

Leaving it to a professional dismantler to remove the manastone is the surest way to get the manastone without damage, but in order to transport this large body, it had to be turned into a zombie first. Ed climbed onto the back shell to get to the place where he could feel the magic stone, but the piled stones were quite cumbersome.

On the line of not removing such a stone, I walked to the closest part to the magic stone and stabbed the sword containing mana into the shell.

– Kang!

“Written… It’s a big deal.”

A tortoise would be a little softer on the belly, but I couldn’t think of a way to turn this gigantic body over. Ed jumped off the back of the Heavy Rock Turtle, thinking it was okay since he was only going to order movement anyway, although the efficiency would decrease if he turned it into a zombie while being interfered with by magic stones.

“Mr. Ed, the sword won’t get stuck, right?”

“Yes. It would be better to break it by hitting it with a hammer, but it is difficult to obtain. I think it would be better to wait for the mana in its body to naturally dissipate first and then turn it into a zombie.”

“How long will it take? To be honest, since this place is a bit open, I think I’ll meet more monsters…”

Arrebijou thought it was not a good place to spend time except for the river in front. However, I thought that Ed would be able to defeat it anyway, if it was an incomplete monster. I ran away because I couldn’t think of a way to deal with that huge Heavy Rock Turtle, but Ed just defeated it with overwhelming force.

As a result of his overwhelming swordsmanship, except for using the bone spear to block movement and prevent his neck from being inserted, it was hard for Arebijou to calm down when he thought that he was far behind as a swordsman against the necromancer who had various means.

From the first meeting, Ed continued to be friendly and there was no big problem, but if Ed had a bad heart when the three of them met, including himself, the saintess, and Ed, would he have been able to protect the saintess? I thought it was impossible.

‘We have to form a deeper relationship so that we don’t make things that will become enemies of the Church of Truth.’

Arrebijou, who thought that it would be better not to become an enemy if he could not handle it, said to Ed, who was silently thinking with full of heart for the Church of Truth.

“Ed. Since I’m older, can I speak comfortably…?”

“Yes. It’s okay, Mr. Arebijou.”

“Thank you. Ed, you can call me Levy too. I’m your older sister.”

“Then I’ll call you Mr. Levy.”

At that point, it seemed like they were getting pretty close, so Arebijou sighed inwardly.

“Ed… so are you planning to ride this out on your way back to Les Sands through the sandstorm?”

It was still very awkward to call him Ed comfortably, so Arrebijou said after seeing Heavy Rock Turtle.

From noble mtl dot com

“Like Levy said, I’m planning on doing that, but I’m not sure if I can achieve the speed. I rode the Desert Lizard for about an hour. Besides, if I try to move such a huge body while being hindered by the magic stone, there’s a chance that I’ll run out of mana while moving.”

“That’s right. It’s big enough to build a house on its back.”

“house.”

Ed was struck by what Arrebijou jokingly said. Anyway, Heavy Rock Turtle can’t be put into subspace. If you have to slowly make your way through the sandstorm, why not build a simple house to shelter from the sandstorm on top of your shell?

“Shall we build a simple way to avoid the sandstorm?”

“Um… can I?”

“Let’s try. There seem to be a lot of ingredients around.”

Anyway, there was still a lot of time until the mana drained from the Heavy Rock Turtle’s body. Hearing the sound of the work being done, Ed thought that if there were any monsters approaching, he could hunt them down and put them into the subspace. He kicked the rocks remaining on the back of the Heavy Rock Turtle and broke them to lay the foundation.

– Quaang! Quaang!

‘After showing me my strength, I became unstoppable… ?’

Compared to the men he met while training as a paladin, Ed had the feeling of a scion with a thin line, and he was a person who kept the line, but once he broke out, he started to show his strong side. Arebijou calmed his pounding heart and began to be wary of his surroundings.

– Kugu Palace.

When Ed injected mana into the core wrapped around the magic stone, the huge body of the Heavy Rock Turtle rose from its seat. At Ed’s command, the Heavy Rock Turtle swayed from side to side, pushing off the rocks surrounding it and slowly moving forward.

“This is enough to cover the mana consumption.”

It was a little slow because it was a turtle, but since it was so large, it moved quite quickly. Ed, who confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the front legs that were messed up from being hit by the Bone Spear, looked at Arrebijou, who was standing in front of the simple tent prepared on the shell of the Heavy Rock Turtle.

“Mr. Levy, we left a bit to the section where the sandstorm comes out, but are you going to go in?”

“Ed, after making it, isn’t it too narrow…?”

“Well. It’s like this because there’s not enough material to block the sandstorm.”

When I looked at the materials to start construction in earnest, I found that there were many materials to build pillars and prepare a foundation, but there were not enough materials to fill the exterior walls. The large leaves didn’t seem like they would properly block the sandstorm, and peeling and using the monster’s skin wasn’t good in many ways if it wasn’t processed properly.

So what was used was the cloak that the two people had been wearing, and a small tent was made by putting two large cloaks on a stand with tree branches. The tent was a bit narrow for two people to fit in. You can increase the size a little, but I tried to completely block the sandstorm, so the size got smaller.

In order to reduce the volume of the body, Arebijou took off his armor and said that Ed would control the heat with cold magic, but he couldn’t do anything about the shame.

“Mr. Levy, shall I go in first?”

“I’ll go in first.”

Calming his pounding heart, Arebijou crawled into the tent. The sun had not yet set, but I entered the tent without any light and pushed myself into a corner. I could use magic to light the inside of the tent, but I held back the thought that if I saw Ed up close, I might faint like the last time.

And not long after, Ed came into the tent. Ed took a seat on the other side of Arebizu and spread cold mana into the heated tent, causing Arebizou’s heated head to cool down slightly.

-thud. thud.

The Heavy Rock Turtle was walking in the direction Ed had set, making loud footsteps, and Desert Lizard zombies were stationed around the tent. The Heavy Rock Turtle quickly arrived in an area where a sandstorm was blowing, perhaps because it was lighter than the rock on its back.

– Sasa sasa sasa sasa

Between the heavy footsteps of the Heavy Rock Turtle, I heard the sound of sand hitting the outside of the tent. Arrebijou, who had been constantly worried that his body would smell, began to feel a bit drowsy as he heard the calming sound of the sand. So I said to Ed in my sleep.

“Isn’t Ed’s younger brother a 7th-level necromancer?”

Ed answered the question of Arrebijou, who was drowsy.

“Now he’s a 7th-level necromancer… but he wasn’t originally.”

“I knew it.”

After answering that question, Arebijou completely closed her eyes and let out an even breathing sound. Ed said to himself after confirming that Arebijou was completely asleep.

“Wouldn’t it be nice to have multiple licenses?”

The Central Necromancer Association, I think I should try it.

-thud. thud. thud.

“What else?”

Beginner hunter Mali, who has a better sense than others, looked south while frowning at the earth-shaking sound. It seemed like something had happened in the south not long after the last time a necromancer showed an outrageous act of turning a Desert Lizard into a zombie and bringing it back.

Thinking it was the footsteps of a giant monster, Mali immediately raised her telescope and looked into the distance. It’s late at night, so visibility is not secured properly, but should we say that the moving thing is a huge disk? It was slowly approaching Lessand’s southern wall with a loud noise.

“f*ck! Why are you f*cking sh*t when I’m on duty again!”

Feeling the miserable reality of not being able to endure without swearing, Mali quickly descended from the watchtower. Unlike the last zombie desert lizard incident, the senior hunter was also staring at the approaching disk with his eyes wide open.

“Seniors!”

“Marley, wasn’t I the only one who saw that?”

“Do you know what that is?”

“f*ck. If I’m not mistaken, it’s a rock turtle… at that size… a heavy rock turtle?”

The number of large disk-shaped monsters in the south was small, so the senior hunter easily guessed their identity. However, knowing his identity did not solve anything.

-thud. thud. thud.

It was clear that the Heavy Rock Turtle was approaching the southern barrier, so I was about to ring the bell for an emergency call in the rain, but a bright light came from the Heavy Rock Turtle’s back. Under the light, I could spot two figures and four Desert Lizards standing on the back of the Heavy Rock Turtle.

“Whoa… It must be that necromancer.”

The senior Hunter sighed and said.

“Senior, can Necromancer and Paladin-nim catch Heavy Rock Turtle…?”

“I don’t know. f*ck… I want to quickly hand over my work to another guild.”

At Marley’s question, the senior Hunter gave up thinking.
