Chapter 501: Age After Ending (15)
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
“My strength comes from the heat and light of the sun.”
However, the ‘fall of the sun’, the Necromancer’s skill using the Superheavy Bow, also used the same energy as the sun.
In other words, it was good news for Z.
“I didn’t know I ended up confronting him like this.”
He had been looking forward to this occasion for quite some time.
“If I can’t destroy the city, what if I kill all the people who live in it?”
As he raised his hand higher and higher, the sun began to swirl in the form of a ball.
It looked as if it was going to explode at any moment.
– Caution! A ‘Fire of Punishment’ will be activated in the area to wipe out all ‘living creatures’. (Remaining time: 00:02:59)
Z mobilized even weapons of mass destruction.
“What the heck?”
There were only three minutes left before all the Asadal residents would be annihilated.
“Argh! I have to stop him!”
But she could not get any closer to him.
– Caution! The ‘Fire of Punishment’ will be activated in the area to wipe out all ‘living creatures’. (Remaining time: 00:02:48)
Everyone in the striking range of the Fire of Punishment saw the message. And the whole Asadal was within its striking distance.
Even Sungwoo confirmed the message. And he watched the red ball falling in the south.
‘There is my sworn enemy!’
But he could not reach there in three minutes.
‘It looks like they deliberately made a precise attack!’
The situation was more serious than he expected.
He took a deep breath to stay focused. Then he tried to find out how to respond.
“Fire attack?’
Fire was an unrivaled natural enemy to all ‘living things’. All living things were made up of proteins, and heat easily destroyed them. However, there was an exception in this game.
‘I’m not going to die in that fire.’
If anybody can increase their immunity to fire like Sungwoo, they can survive.
And most of the fire resistance obtained by Sungwoo was related to a lot of ‘dragon-type’ items, such as ‘Dragon Hunter Synergy’ or ‘Drake’s Leather’.
This is because they are born with ‘fire resistance’.
“If that’s the case…”
He immediately flew towards the World Tree with the bag containing the ‘Adam’s Bones’ he had collected. It was time for him to finish the ‘Myth Quest’.

Chairman Lee watched various things taking place near Asadal from a distance.
“He’s a strong guy.”
Even though his operation “Mountain Meteor”, a fatal attack aimed at dropping a mountain into downtown Asadal, failed, Z was carrying out a more powerful attack than before.
A red sun was being lit in the distance. It was an AOE slaughter skill ‘Fire of Punishment’ that burned all living things within its striking area.
“Yeah, he deserves great respect!”
Chairman Lee began to mutter to himself with a thrilled expression as if he was a boy watching a hero’s brilliant action.
“His first impression was so striking from the beginning. He had a noble appearance. He even overwhelmed those leading thinkers from the world over. Yeah, he was really special…”
As the head of the ‘Originals’, Z held absolute power that even a dozen judges could not disobey.
“Well, I’m really curious about what that man in the mask is doing.”
But there were none of the Originals who knew his identity.
At that moment the woman standing next to him, or Chairman Lee’s secretary, Miss Choi, finally asked as she couldn’t hide her curiosity, “Even you don’t know him, Chairman?”
Even though she had served this senior boss for a long time without showing any curiosity, she dared to ask this time because she could not forget the image of the masked man that she saw first today. She had a fundamental curiosity about him: who the hell was he?
Chairman Lee replied, “Well, I don’t know him at all. Rumor has it that he’s a man in his 40s from a British server… Well, what does that matter? I know ordinary people are curious about the birth and growth of a hero, but that’s nothing, compared with the hero’s achievements.”
The chairman laughed happily and chuckled while saying that.
Then he continued, “How can an ordinary man figure out a hero’s aspirations? We are not even qualified to know about him.”
It was not even known why that guy was called the last letter of the alphabet, ‘Z’, or what it meant. He just introduced himself as Z.
Therefore, the nickname ‘Z’ was the only information about him, and his face was always covered with an iron mask, so even his usual expression was kept secret.
In other words, he was a total mystic.
However, those who worked a little more closely with him, such as the ‘judges’ who were the core executives of Originals, knew one more thing about him.
In other words, Z was the ‘first man chosen’ by the Helper.
Chairman Lee said, “He received the unknown touch ahead of the Necromancer. By the way, he didn’t like it because when he noticed that they were trying to take advantage of him, he declined their offer.”
GM, Zero Earth, the Helper, etc, were things in a different world that ordinary men could not know anything about. Of course, the Necromancer did not directly acknowledge their existence. Nonetheless, they were accepted as an open fact.
And the fact that he was related to such things made him look very ‘special’ in this world. It served as a kind of ‘justification’ because it meant that he faced the truth of the game that even ordinary people didn’t even know at all.
How could he be chosen by the Helper first ahead of the Necromancer?
It’s going to be a huge plus for Z.
Its effect was powerful enough to empower Z and the Originals, not the Necromancer, to rule this world.
“And today he might be able to add one more nickname to his existing one, namely, Necromancer Slayer…”
To seize the real power in the turbulent times, he needed some sort of ’cause,’ and today he was going to combine the two ’causes.’
***
Z looked at his world tree while feeling the rough waves of the ‘Fire of Punishment’ burning on his hand.
‘Is the Necromancer there?’
He hated the Necromancer. He’d never met him, but he began to hate him at some point. He reconfirmed his hatred of the Necromancer.
‘You don’t deserve that position. It was given to me in the first place, but you were lucky to have taken it from me by expedients.’
It was also true that Z was contacted by the Helper, and earlier than the Necromancer at that.
He experienced his first ‘system error’ when he got the title of ‘Guardian’ before anyone else as the No. 1 in the rankings of a certain server. The person who borrowed the voice of the boss monster ‘Giant Gargoyle,’ namely, the Helper, spoke to Z.
‘He promised to support me.’
But one thing was wrong. In other words, Z rejected the Helper’s effort to contact him. That was not true. Z trusted the Helper and waited for his contact.
Since then, the Helper has helped Z after contacting him twice. Backed by the Helper’s support, Z rolled on with great success.
He was trusted and admired by his capable colleagues.
‘I could have done well.’
But at some point, the Helper changed his attitude toward him.
‘All of a sudden, the Helper has asked me to help the Necromancer! I’ve been doing well alone!’
Z was pushed out, after all.
