Only I Am a Necromancer

Chapter 500: Age After Ending (14)

At first, they thought the gust was caused by the meteorite, but strangely, it blew from behind their backs.

“What the heck is this?”

They instinctively turned their heads. At that moment they had to adjust their posture so as not to fall.

A single ray of light passed through the watchtower at an incredibly fast speed. The watchtower, which had been built solidly, shook as if it were about to break down. When the air vibrated, a faint wave followed the movement of the beam of light.

They followed the movement of light with their eyes instinctively.

“What the hell is that?”

At first, it curved and soared into the sky, then at some point it raised its altitude and soared fiercely. It was a single arrow.

“…”

Its target was the unidentified meteorite.

***

A few minutes ago Z was going to kill Valkyrie in person. Even if he destroyed Asadal and the world tree, his greatest enemy, the Necromancer, was still there.

So it was clear that Valkyrie would be a significant stumbling block for him when one day he had to confront the Necromancer. That’s why he was intent to kill her when she was separated from the Necromancer.

Clang! Clang!

But she was much stronger than he thought.

After blocking the sword flying towards his vital point with the revolver’s barrel, he leaped backward. Then he soared more than ten meters at once and landed on the roof of a small shopping mall.

At that moment his revolver’s muzzle heated up, and black smoke was blown out of it. He fired all the bullets in a row. Since the bullets he shot were magic bullets, they spread curses and caused damage to the whole area, even if they didn’t hit her.

About thirty or so Einherjars were killed with a volley of bullets, but Valkyrie was still intact. Nonetheless, it was Valkyrie, namely, Jisu, who was more impatient.

“Oh my God…”

While she had no choice but to confront Z, she looked up at the sky in the south with an anxious look, where the ‘mountain’ was falling toward the World Tree camp.

She was worried that Asadal might disappear entirely quite soon.

“Valkyrie, there’s nothing you can do but deal with me.”

“…”

Z tucked the revolver into his waist, then opened his hands wide.

“Otherwise you may die in vain. I don’t want it, either.”

Woooooooooo-

At that moment, purple symbols appeared from both his hands and scattered all over his body. When he raised his arms, purple energy emitted and colored everything around him.

– Caution! An ‘extra-sensory space (ESP-Space)’ has opened in the area.

This was a skill that made it possible for its user to closely feel every movement nearby and move all objects very easily with ‘telekinesis’.

“It looks like you know how to play lots of cheap tricks, right?” Jisu quipped sarcastically before stepping back.

Then Z nodded readily, and replied, “Yes, I do!”

Z’s job fell into the category of ‘psychokinesis’ with a fairly wide use of the application, which was almost 5 stars among ‘super powers’, one of the most valuable job groups.

‘Shooting’, which he just used, was also one of the prime weapons that benefited from her capability. Besides, his job was a plus for anything that required a special ‘sense’ or ‘space’.

“Alright! Bring it on again!”

She charged at him quickly, backed up by one hundred Einherjars.

But Z jumped off the roof of the building and escaped from her close attack from all sides.

Tung! Tung! Tung!

With his telekinetic power, he lifted the abandoned vehicles, obscuring Einherjars’ vision, then quickly slipped into the gap. However, he could not escape her encirclement.

With dozens of blades stabbing him from everywhere, his body was torn apart here and there. At that moment he grabbed his necklace with one hand.

Woooooooong-

– ‘The Grace of the Saint’ protects your body.

At the same time that the message popped up, all the Einherjars who approached him were thrown away.

“Argh…”

Since they were souls, Einherjars groaned in pain unlike before. Besides, when they got disconnected from Jisu temporarily, their bodies flickered.

“Your access is denied.”

As long as he held the item around his neck, not only any beings in soul condition like Einherjars, but also other players could not approach within 1m of its wearer’s body.

This was one of the items that he had brought here to fight against the Necromancer and Valkyrie.

“Alright, it has a great effect!”

Having said that, Z retreated while blocking Valkyrie’s attacks. Then he pulled the heavy iron case that had been put down on the floor with his telekinesis and grabbed it.

Clank-

Jisoo slightly stepped back as if to be wary of the case. Since Z used all kinds of bizarre items and skills, she was not sure when she would be counterattacked by him again.

“…”

The two looked at each other.

At that moment the airflow changed.

Jisu and Z also felt it. And it was caused by something in a very distant place, the center of Asadal.

– Caution! The ‘fall of the sun’ has begun in the area.

With both of them not moving, a message created by a third party rang.

“What a relief…”

Confirming the message, she sighed in relief because it meant that the Necromancer, or Sungwoo, returned.

A ray of light roared towards a huge mountain falling towards the World Tree camp.

It was the ‘intangible arrow’ fired by Sungwoo using the Superheavy Bow.

The arrow hit the target.

Without making any sound, a yellow explosion colored the whole world faster than at light speed, scattering over the mountain. And its fragments rained down toward the World Tree camp like hails.

Tung! Tung! Tung!

Fortunately, such fragments alone could not penetrate the ‘Shadow of the Divine Tree’.

Of course, some of them were exceptionally large, so they looked a bit dangerous.

Bang!

A geyser-like stream rose from all over the center of Asadal, then began to push debris away. They were the water spirits. In other words, Lee Wei summoned them.

She was also there when the Hypergate opened, so she played a major role.

Jisu turned her head to Z and said, “You, I don’t think you were chosen again this time.”

Then she raised her sword in a more relaxed manner.

At that moment something like laughter came out from Z’s iron mask.

“Yeah, he is back, right?”

His voice was still calm and relaxed even when he realized that his plan fell flat because of the Necromancer.

He said, “Actually, I hoped he could.”

What did he mean?

Then, he raised his hand.

– Caution! The forbidden magic ‘Scroll of Doom – Forced Warp’ has begun in the area.

It was the same magic that lifted the whole mountain that had just been shattered and warped it into the distant air. He had two such magic ready to use.

Soon, something began to appear on Z’s hands.

That was a lump of crimson energy.

“No way!”

A nuclear fission-like explosion that was created by the ‘fall of the sun’ was ‘forcibly warped’ into this place.

“Argh!”

Since she could not stand the heat, she quickly backed away.

The asphalt where Z was standing was boiling with hot energy. All the metal within a few tens of meters began to melt.

That energy fluctuated wildly, but it gathered like a ball in Z’s hand.

“The scenes of the Necromancer crushing his city with his own hands? I didn’t plan it at all, but it’s going to be an attractive development!”

What the hell was he going to do with that?

‘He has divine power! If he can endure such intense energy, he must have divine power!’

As if to confirm her guesswork, Z’s divine power was the Sun God ‘Helios’..
