Only I Am a Necromancer (Web Novel) - Chapter 490: Age After Ending (4)
Chapter 490: Age After Ending (4)
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
The Necromancer’s rule began a year ago.
Then, who was the first to rebel against his rule? Most of them were once the losers who had been defeated by him. And those who had various dissident ideologies were united to establish the organization, ‘Originals’.
“The Necromancer has taken everything from us,” a gray-haired old man said, reflecting on his past. Then a young woman standing next to him with her hands folded politely nodded quietly.
“Yeah, he has taken everything I have achieved all my life…”
The woman nodded again. Given her unanimous consent, it seemed she was not just a companion to talk with.
“So now it’s time for us to get even on him, and as far as I know, it’s the way of the world.”
It was none other than Younghwan Lee, the so-called “bulldozer” chairman and the head of the Uijeongbu “Reconstruction Alliance,” who vented his frustration and rage.
He once aimed at taking hegemony over the Korean server, but he went into hiding after he was defeated by the Necromancer in Mt. Pukhan’s Imoogi Cave. But he eventually survived and established himself as a key member of the Originals.
But he was sitting on a bench, watching a magical phenomenon unfolding before his eyes.
Woooooooo-
“If we can succeed in that magic experiment, we can defeat the Necromancer.”
“Of course. I think you can realize whatever you do, Chairman.”
Hundreds of wizards were creating magic. They painstakingly cast a trickery spell over the whole mountain for the past several days not to get caught by the World Tree camp.
Woooooooooo-
The magical phenomenon, which flashed red, gave off strange yet eerie energy.
“Chairman, a guest has just arrived,” said the woman standing next to him.
The old man nodded, then turned his head to the left.
“…”
Given that he was overlooking the ‘Suwon World Cup Stadium’ at a distance, he was probably in a mountain temple at the foot of a mountain on the outskirts of Suwon.
“Damned world tree!”
He could see the world tree over the World Cup Stadium. The giant sacred tree was so huge that he felt as if it stood right before his eyes.
And under its shadow, or more precisely under the branches that glistened with a dazzling light, a magnificent city named Asadal was growing in prosperity day by day.
“I’m going to cut down that tree by all means…”
Wooooooooooooo-
As soon as he said that, a certain magical phenomenon that was taking place before his eyes came to an end. And a slightly stable light waved before him, then colored his face. Something was finally accomplished.
“Chairman Lee, have you been waiting for me for a long time?”
Somebody spoke to him in a deep voice.
“Ah, Z, you have come just in time.”
“I’m relieved to hear that.”
Rattle- Rattle-
Then he moved his heavy steps toward the chairman.
“Z, you’ve come to this place. Are you okay?”
“Well, I’m fine because I used the Hypergate, and you’re not going to have another day like today.”
The man named Z was an unusual figure. He appeared to be over two meters tall and wore a purple iron mask with purple scales of armor. And he was carrying an iron case as big as his size on his back.
Thud-
When he put down the iron case on the ground, sand and dust rose from it.
“Is this the ultimate magic?”
“Yes.”
“…”
“I’m going to blow up that world tree and that whole city.”
“Can you do it?”
When Z showed some skeptical reaction, Chairman Lee took a deep breath and opened his mouth.
“Hey, Z, let me assure you that even though the Necromancer has spent the last year achieving lots of things, I’ve spent the same amount of time solely preparing to break it down. He was in a better working environment than me, but wouldn’t it be easier to destroy anything than to build it? I never make mistakes when I deal with something easy. That’s the basics of business.”
Z nodded silently. Since he was wearing a strange mask, Chairman Lee couldn’t see his expression.
‘I just can’t figure out whether he agrees with me.’
Even though he tasted the sweets and bitterness of life, this veteran old man could not figure out what kind of expression this giant guy made inside that bizarre mask.
“It looks like Adrian has been caught. Do you see any possible disruption to our large-scale summoning operation?”
“Oh, no problem at all. As long as those idiots can draw their attention a bit, they will have fulfilled their duty faithfully.”
“I see. I think you have a different mindset as a businessman. It’s good that you have come to see me.”
“My pleasure. It’s good you accept me like this. Thanks for helping this old man proceed with my last business freely like this.”
Z nodded again, without saying a word.
“…”
At that moment the chairman agonized over what to say. It’s been a long time since he agonized over it. Since he was young, he had never seen anybody bossing him around.
Then his eyes rested on the black iron case on the floor.
“Is this box supposed to contain that sword?” he asked.
Z slowly turned his head and looked at him. He seemed to be a bit wary.
“Exactly.”
“This is that very X…Kali….”
Chairman Lee recited that word very carefully. He couldn’t even pronounce its last syllable. He acted with extreme humbleness as if he would be in big trouble if he mentioned it recklessly, thinking it was like a royal name. Then he checked out Z’s expressions.
“…”
But Z turned his head away without responding.
“With this sword and your divine power, don’t you think you can behead the Necromancer? I think you can without any difficulty, based on my actual observation of your capabilities.”
Z looked at Chairman Lee secretly and then looked straight ahead again.
A light breath was let out from inside his mask.
“I don’t know. There is no absolute thing in this world.”
Chairman Lee got nervous at his skeptical response. He was embarrassed and restless just like he felt as a young businessman when the politician in his constituency showed a cold reaction to his flattery.
Then Z said again, “But after blowing up that tree, I think I can build a kingdom on its ruins.”
Only then did Chairman Lee come to know the meaning of his reply. It was Z’s indirect request to him to carry out the task assigned to him perfectly. And that was a positive answer in his eyes.
“I will lay the foundation for your goal,” said the chairman.
“…”
“Z, you deserve it. Didn’t the owner of the voice that the Necromancer allegedly heard, or the helper, come to you first?”
Z laughed for the first time.
“That’s true. But I kicked her out.”
In the meantime, the 213th Task Force completely occupied the abandoned factory outside Suwon.
It was about 5km away from Asadal, the headquarters of the World Tree camp.
“If you move, you will be killed. If you move your hand or open your mouth, you will be killed, too. And if you lift your head, you will also be killed.”
The task force members lined up the captured members of the Originals.
They totaled 41.
“They are a lot. Did they have any festivals?”
“If we add up the guys inside, I think they will number more than 100.”
Given that they were not cracked down completely, they were unusually large.
