Atlas: Lightning From The Wild West
19: NECROSUMMONER

"I'll let him go first, I'd better finish my goal here soon. From now on I will watch over him, after all he is my eldest son" Ignis said walking away.

Almost 40 minutes Indra and Miller were unconscious until Misha finally got there. Misha could not have expected that those two people could end up being that sad.

Never had he seen Indra or Miller end up like that after a fight.

Indra woke up and lay on a mattress that felt familiar.

"You're awake, huh…? As usual you always trouble me" said a doctor who was sitting there guarding Indra.

"Anna? It's been a while since we last met. Oh... So I'm at your clinic? Good, I can go home faster" Indra replied.

"No, you should get enough rest!! You don't know that you've been unconscious for 5 days! If you get sick, I'll bother" said Anna again.

"By the way, Indra. Since when are the two of them that close?" Anna continued while pointing at the mattress beside the mattress Indra.

Indra turned her head in that direction and saw the unconscious Miller and Misha who were also asleep on the bed.

"That's it" Indra replied.

"But your healing magic is pretty great. It's not wrong I subscribe here" continued Indra.

"Th-not really! You're exaggerating too much!" Said Anna whose face was slightly flushed.

Indra spends her nights at Anna's clinic before she is finally allowed to go home by Anna.

In the morning Anna brought Indra a glass of medicine to drink.

"Thank you, Dr. Ox. Ah... I thought it sounded strange" said Indra.

"Why did you suddenly call me that?" Ask Anna.

"Aren't you the one who doesn't like being called 'Anna'? Oh yes... Your long name is not wrong.. Oxianna, a bit strange to call it Ox or Ian better Anna right? That's why I always call you Anna" Indra replied.

"You're out this morning, are you going out? Heh, I think I know for sure the answer" said Anna.

"That's right, I'll be leaving soon. Thanks, Anna. Oh yeah, tell them both I'm already first!" Indra said as he walked out.

Anna waved her hand to Indra.

Indra finally returned to see the atmosphere of the city of Houstin, it had been months he did not go there again. Even though it was only a few months he really missed the atmosphere.

"Necromancer huh? Hm.. maybe Opstann knew it, he was a living skull maybe he knew something" Indra said talking to himself.

Indra intends to return to the Eastern Region to meet Opstann. However, he also did not want to trouble his two best friends anymore. He stopped by the Angel Eyes Saloon for a farewell with Bella, Reisth, and Rana Rani.

He rented a horse-drawn carriage to the East. Night had arrived and Indra had just reached Lunar. He's too tired. However, he wanted to immediately search for information because it was a immediately go to the Bounty Store to meet Opstann.

"Teacher!! You're finally back!" Said a girl welcoming Indra inside the Bounty Store.

"Linda. I don't think you're even coming" Indra said.

"I've even waited for days. I'm so bored I've become one of the Bounty Hunters" Linda replied.

"Oh. interesting. Have you mastered what I told you yesterday?" Ask Indra.

"No, tomorrow only. I had a sudden affair with a skull over there" Indra said.

Indra left Linda and immediately came to Opstann who was sitting relaxing by herself.

"Opstann... What do you know about Necromancy?" Ask Indra.

"Why suddenly? I don't understand the mascudine of your question" Opstann replied in her low, hoarse voice.

"I have unfinished business with a Necromancer I recently met" Indra said.

"I see... You're looking for this information because you're having trouble dealing with an army of zombies that can't die, right?" Reply Opstann.

"You are right" Indra said.

"alright. I happen to be a Necrosummoner, so I can help you out a little bit" Opstann replied.

"Necrosummoners? How is it different from Necromancer or Summoner in general?" Ask Indra again.

"The necromancer must use a corpse to use his magic, for those who might already be great even his bones can also be used. However, Necrosummoners did not need to use corpses to awaken a soul. However, only the soul is lost or it could be the soul that has a contract with the Necrosummoner" Opstann replied.

"Relax, I'm just calling lost souls. They are damned souls who have no identity, souls who cannot reach the afterlife" Opstann continued.

"Then what do you mean by a soul who has a contract?" Indra asked again.

"You ask a lot too. The soul with the contract is the soul who makes the Necrosummoner contract to call them after death, this contract must be made before death. The soul with this contract can only be summoned once" Opstann replied.

"Now to answer the information you need. zombies that are turned on may necromancers may indeed not be killed. However, there are several ways to fight it, namely by eliminating the user, if it is too difficult try to at least hurt the user, it will weaken the zombie. Unfortunately that is all that can be done to fight necromancers because there is no other way to deal with the immortal zombies" Opstann continued.

Indra sighed. Touching that person alone he could not, let alone defeat him.

Indra tried to think while trying to look around at the poster of the fugitive rank S.

"Indra ... This is your jacket, um. thanks" Aurora approached Indra with a smile.

"Eh? Did you wash it too? Should have let it go" Indra replied.

"It's okay, by the way how was the work of the freak yesterday?" Ask Aurora.

"At least it went well. However, I myself just found out that he is my uncle" Indra replied as he put his beloved brown leather jacket back on.

Aurora was surprised to hear that.

Indra did not find an interesting poster there, he then said goodbye to Aurora and left he also advised Linda to meet him tomorrow at his training ground yesterday.

Indra sighed disappointedly.

"If only hunting down the bad guys couldn't help me to be stronger. Fighting humans will not teach me anything new. Maybe it can make me more aware of human nature. However, it will be difficult to develop. If I fight monsters whose way of life is definitely different from humans, maybe I will learn something new" Indra said as she walked home.

"Oh! That's her! I just need to fight monsters! Then I will try to become an adventurer like Misha. At least for a while until I can be a little stronger. Monter..The guy is out of his mind, he beats me like it's his food every day" Indra continued.

Indra finally reached his inn and without waiting any longer, he immediately entered to rest.
