Only I Am a Necromancer

Chapter 492: Age After Ending (6)

First came out a three-headed ogre ‘Triple Head Ogre.’ He was several times more powerful than a twin-headed ogre. As a ‘field monster,’ he would have been the ruler of a server in the pre-ending period.

Following him appeared the huge cow Minotaur that appeared to be over 20 meters long. As it was a monster appearing in a myth, it must have had more powerful strength than they thought. In addition, 3 boss monsters came out.

“Come on! Thank you for giving me EXP!”

Hanho welcomed them with great delight, but his Hyunmoo fired a storm of cold at them.

Pooooooooooh-

As soon as the boss monsters appeared, they were swept away by a pure white blizzard before getting frozen and turning into ice sculptures. They didn’t die yet, but they would be left defenseless for a while.

“Thanks for the food!”

Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck!

Hyunmu charged at them, then started trampling on the boss monsters with his massive body.

Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!

When Hanho, who was now riding on Hyunmu, raised his six hands and fired huge cannons in a row, he saw one of the triple-headed ogre’s heads being torn away.

Watching the scenes, Inho let out a sigh of relief. Even though Hanho was clumsy in some respects, he was a really strong guy.

“Okay, he will deal with the monsters here. Let’s go to the Hypergate right away, which has already been opened to the south!”

But they couldn’t fight the monsters everywhere.

“Admiral, what about the Northern Hypergate? The 3rd National Guard troops departed for that area in a hurry, but they said they could not stop the boss monsters by themselves, and asked us to send a Hunter-class unit!”

The Hunter-class unit referred to a unit whose members comprised 10 or more players whose level was 20 or higher. And they were powerful enough to deal with any boss monster.

“By the way, don’t you think our troops here are not sufficient?”

One year has passed since the ending, but not everyone has become equally strong.

As they entered the stable period, there were very few players who leveled up by hunting monsters, and most of them were dispatched to foreign servers to make the world safer.

“Don’t worry. Red Dragon Isabella will go there to help them!”

Of course, the World Tree camp had a secret weapon ready for this kind of emergency.

It was none other than a dragon, the boss monster of all the boss monsters, which could easily subdue any boss monsters, no matter how strong they were.

But there was another problem.

“Admiral? That Red Dragon isn’t in Asadal at the moment!”

Inho wrapped his head with both hands to hear that. That’s something he completely forgot.

“Damn it! You’re right. Because of Mir’s hatchling, she left for Amazon’s Rare yesterday morning.”

Isabella was playing the role of a nanny for Mir, who was in the process of becoming a black dragon. And when the guy’s first hatchling time approached, she left for the Amazon early this morning, saying that he could receive buffs only when he had hatched in a special space called ‘Rare.’

“Man, I just don’t know how she left right at this moment when she was needed most….”

At that moment Inho felt something very strange. Was the enemy aware of this situation from the beginning?

“Well, I smell a rat!”

The Necromancer was away from this place for a long time, and it’s been three days since Valkyrie was dispatched to kill the field boss monster that appeared in Australia. To make matters worse, Isabella left for the Amazon today of all days.

Then how come the enemy chose this particular time to attack them?

‘Well, the reason they kidnapped Hanho who was defending Asadal was because they knew he was the last defense there, so they wanted to cause a complete vacuum in our defense of Asadal.’

Inho got up from his seat and walked over to the window. He saw the Hypergate opened to the south at a distance.

“I wonder if there is a spy in our camp…’

Sungwoo’s allies have been growing so rapidly for the past year that they could not afford to pay attention to the details of their organizations, so there were probably some loopholes in their security readiness.

Even though Junghoon’s Strategic Intelligence Bureau waged an information war behind the scenes, nobody was sure if any mole or spy was operating secretly within their camp.

“Man, it’s driving me nuts. I feel like I can’t handle this on my own. Where the hell is Sungwoo right now?”

***

Sungwoo stretched out his hand and grabbed something.

[Item information

– Name: Adam’s Rib (No. 3)

– Grade: Myth

– Classification: unknown

– Effect: unknown

“Okay, you finally have discovered the last bone, right?”

The King of the Great Mountains asked, and Sungwoo nodded.

They were now in the deepest place in a huge dungeon whose location was unknown.

“Once you get it, you are going to break away from your human form and become monsters like me, right?”

“I don’t know. But at least I don’t become a furry beast like you.”

The King of the Great Mountains raised his eyes and opened his mouth wide in disbelief.

“I’m surprised to hear that the ruler of the world can make such insensitive remarks! Just watch your mouth! No matter how hard I think about it, you deserve impeachment! I guess you’re going to be a scaly, not furry, beast!”

Sungwoo ignored his words and handed Adam’s rib to Orun.

Crackle! Crackle!

hard!

Orun opened his backpack and put the rib in it. There were about five or six items similar to it inside.

‘This is the end of the myth quest.’

About 11 months ago when the world tree reached its final stage of growth, he satisfied some of the conditions of the ‘myth quest’. But it didn’t mean that he became the ‘Dragon’ race right away.

‘The hatching of the dragon and the completion of the world tree was just the beginning. It was only the beginning of the next stage…’

He could notice it just by examining the details of the quest.

[Myth Quest]

– Name: Origin of the race (Dragon Race)

– Type: unknown

– Goal: Find the ‘clue to evolution’

– Reward: Evolving into a new race

*You have obtained two ‘absolute seeds’. One is the race itself that’s been growing powerful, and the other is a vessel of life that can hold transcendent power. If the two seeds are fused under fateful conditions, it will create a new myth.

* When an unidentified egg ‘hatches,’ and the world tree reaches the ‘complete’ stage, the ‘clue to evolution’ will be revealed. (If either of the two seeds is damaged, you will fail.)

According to this message, the ‘clue to evolution’ was revealed. To be reborn as a new race, Sungwoo received a quest that ordered him to collect all the ‘Adam’s ribs’ scattered around the world.

‘It was not an easy quest.’

And he has spent almost 4 months discovering Adam’s ribs, and finally, he collected them all.

The King of the Great Mountains said skeptically, “Man, it makes me crazy to think what’s going to happen in the future. All the 140,000 players belonging to the World Tree camp are going to turn into dragons all at once, right? Well, don’t you think you have built the house too small?”

Can it take place?

Even Sungwoo was not sure of it.

“Let’s go back for now.”

He had no choice but to go back and check it out for himself.
