Only I Am a Necromancer

Chapter 478: Last System Error (4)

The woman spoke in an impatient voice. Only then did Sungwoo nod.

She continued.

<Alright. I’m going to send you to a place where you can bring the system down right now. Once you are there, your skills, items, etc. everything made into the system doesn’t work. So if you go inside, I can’t intervene, either.>

Come to think of it, skills and items were created by the system, so it was absurd to destroy the system with them.

“Then how do I break the system?”

<You need to shock a specific device to shut down the system by only using the ‘physical force’ that exists in your world.>

“Simply put, you mean I can just break it by force, right?”

<That’s right. Please prepare a weapon other than an item.>

Sungwoo turned his head to look at Kyungsoo. He nodded.

Then a huge blue portal opened behind Sungwoo’s back.

Wooooooooooooo-

The woman helper opened it, and it seemed that Sungwoo was being led to a place where he could break the system.

<I am in control of this system now, but the GM is returning the sentinels who have visited another world to control this situation back. I can’t control it for long. While I’m blocking them, you have to go into that portal and destroy the ‘Main Core’ to break the ‘Link’.”

At that moment, Kyungsoo approached him and offered something.

“Would this do?”

It was a ‘crowbar’ called ‘pparu’ in Korean.

“It’s perfect for smashing something.”

It was not an item made with magic engineering, but an item made with Earth’s casting technology, so it could be used in places where the skills and items mentioned by the woman helper did not work.

Fortunately, there were many such items because there were a lot of tools for installing aerial weapons or repairing airships.

“Sungwoo, I’ve been overhearing what you guys said, but is our fighting over soon?”

Hanho and Jisu approached Sungwoo. They were aware of the situation to some extent because they had witnessed a ‘system error’ once.

“Yeah, but it matters how we end up.”

Sungwoo picked up the crowbar and looked around.

‘If I can’t use my skills, I can’t do this alone. I need a lot of people.’

Unlike Hanho and Jisu, other players were looking at Sungwoo with somewhat bewildered expressions. But, as they had done before, they would follow him in any situation.

Looking at them, Sungwoo raised his voice.

“Everyone, I promised a party for you tonight, but I’m afraid I have to delay it a little longer.”

He pointed at the portal with the crossbar.

“We’re going to go inside this portal and end this game. And the purpose of the party tonight is…”

Everyone looked at his mouth and listened for his voice.

“It will be our freedom and independence, not victory. Let’s go and finish this game together.”

After saying that, Sungwoo turned and walked towards the portal.

The players also resolutely raised their weapons and followed Sungwoo towards the portal.

It was their last assault.

Sungwoo and players arrived at a beach with a bizarre error message. It seemed to be a place where the original system restricted players’ access from the beginning.

“Watch out for your surroundings!”

Sungwoo looked around while the players scattered in a formation.

‘Sea?’

The sandy beach was so wide that it would have been mistaken for a desert if they hadn’t lifted their heads and found the lush forest behind them.

Sungwoo tried the ‘Fellblade’ just in case, but it didn’t activate at all.

“…”

It was as if he never had the ability.

<Right here!>

Again, the woman helper’s voice echoed through the air.

<This is the island at the center of the ‘Bermuda Triangle’ you are often talking about.>

Bermuda Triangle? Isn’t it the place of an eerie talk, which is often known as the ‘Devil Triangle’?

“Island? It looks pretty big. Is it here from the beginning?”

“It’s an artificial island that was created about seven years ago.”

“Seven years?”

It was long even before the game started.

“This game doesn’t start overnight. GMs are searching for a suitable world to make into a game, then go through the ‘installation’ process in a short period. This island serves as an outpost for the whole process.”

‘Installation’ literally meant the time spent in installing the game.

In other words, it meant that turning the earth into a game and hell did not happen overnight. It was an ‘invasion’ that had been planned and carried out step by step and deliberately from seven years ago.

<There is a natural ‘wormhole’ in the Bermuda Triangle on every planet. So it can be used as an easy passageway to another world. When you move to another world the portal opens in contact with the wormhole here, and you pass through the portal and the wormhole at the same time.>

There were also conspiracy theories that there was a ‘wormhole’ in the Bermuda Triangle because there were many cases where airplanes and ships disappeared while passing there. But was that true?

<Do you have more questions about how this island, the wormhole, and the system works? I can explain it to you in detail.>

It seemed as if she demanded it. Was it because she was annoyed when Sungwoo questioned her with intimidation?

“Well, that’s enough.”

<What a relief! You don’t have enough time.>

Sungwoo stepped forward without saying a word.

<There is a facility on the back of the island that manages the system. Find it there. And destroy the ball-shaped ‘main core’ inside it. You have less than an hour to control the system from now on.>

“One hour…”

However, all he could see right now was a vast beach that stretched out like a desert, its edges, and a lush forest that continued like a long barrier.

“Where is it?”

<I’m sorry, but I can’t get involved at this point. This is classified as a special containment space, so nobody cannot get access through the system. If you approach it deeper, you won’t even get any help through a voice like mine.>

“What did you say? What do you mean by ‘access through the system’?”

<To put it simply, everything made into the game, and even all the tools and commands that control the game, cannot be used here. It’s a place where you can defend against something made out of a system that goes out of control and threatens the GM and them. So, natural creatures like you have no choice but to enter it in person.>

What she meant was that even though they made the system, they were worried about the system going out of control.

‘Does that mean that if the system is released from control, can those GMs be killed by my skeletons?’ Sungwoo thought to himself.

Sungwoo thought that even though GM was an absolute being, it might die more easily than he thought.

“Perhaps…”

Sungwoo was lost in thoughts about something, then turned his head and looked for Kyungsoo.

“Kyungsoo, we need to start a search. Do the reconnaissance of a large area as quickly as possible!”

Since he had no items and skills available, he had no choice but to move in person.

Fortunately, so many people could do that job. The beach was full of players from the World Tree camp.

“Got it. We will move as fast as we can.”

It was not that difficult to search the entire island thoroughly.

They soon scattered all over the island and began to find the culprit of the game.
