Only I Am a Necromancer-Chapter 495: Age After Ending (9)

The huge steel structure 'Jump Space,' which was installed at Asadal's 'First Airfield,' was one of the most secure places in the center of Asadal. Aside from the protection of the 'Shadow of the Divine Tree' that covered the world tree, this was an area that no one except the person concerned could access because of its shield in operation around the clock.

"10 seconds before mana supply!"

Everybody at this place was busy at the moment.

"No. 1, get all the gates ready for operation!"

The members of the 'HG Management Center', nicknamed 'gatekeepers', were busy moving around. They were in the thick of operating the Hypergates installed at regular intervals in the Jump Space.

There were a total of 16 hypergates installed there, which were then connected to all over the world. In other words, this was the hub of the world.

"No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 all working normally!"

"No. 3, No. 4, No. 5 all working normally!"

Woooooooo-

"Supplying mana 6 and 7 is okay!"

Each Hypergate consumed a lot of mana, so it could only be maintained when dozens of wizards had to work on it.

But the way the World Camp members operated them was different.

"Transferring mana on the Hypergate of No. 1 is okay!"

As many as 30 'mana batteries' were connected to the Hypergates, so they could be kept fully charged at all times for the Hypergates to open within 10 minutes at any time.

The manager of the control tower, HG Management, lifted the radio item.

"Open all the Hypergates!"

As soon as he shouted, the seven Hypergates leading all over the world opened at the same time. Then the players or the heroes from various servers walked out.

***

On a dark moonlit night, the ground was vibrating with a big noise.

Adrian, the judge of the Originals, arrived near the Hypergate opened to the north after escaping from the surprise attack by the World Tree camp.

"Alright. Are you guys already in the party mood?"

He took a seat on the roof of the building with several members of the organization and watched the horrible scenes of the 'Beast Terror'.

The city was completely ruined while it went through the game, but as the boss monsters pushed their way through it, even those debris that remained were crumbling.

Bang! Bang!

But most of the city was devastated by the indiscriminate shelling by the World Tree Fleet. The cannonballs fired from four airships destroyed the unoccupied city center, eradicating everything crawling in the crevices of the building.

Monster rats the size of a big dog screamed in pain after they were devoured by the flames.

"Are you crazy enough to think they can kill our special boss monsters with just shelling?"

"Hahaha! No way!"

They could push out the so-called 'miscellaneous monsters' that appeared along with the warlord monsters, but the 'boss monsters' would never collapse at such an attack.

Sheeeeeeeeng-

At that moment a tentacle soared from among the flames.

Bang!

An airship that was flying in the sky was tilted with an explosion, then crashed through the buildings. Then, three airships flying nearby raised their altitude by waving their searchlights in all directions. They were escaping from the scene.

"Wow, this is the third airship that crashed!"

"Really? Man, an airship isn't a big deal, is it?"

Watching the airship crash helplessly, a product of magical engineering that the World Tree camp boasted about, the members of the Originals felt thrilled that they won the victory after a long time.

"It looks like we will be reaching the enemy's rampart soon!"

As could be seen, the boss monsters they summoned this time were quite different from those before the ending. They were like living creatures born artificially, then strengthened repeatedly in a special way.

Thump- Thump- Thump-

It was bizarre and grand to see them striding through the gray smoke, then come across the black city center and move towards the rampart of Asadal.

"Oh my God...unless we have someone with divine power, I'm afraid we can't stop them!"

There were only three players in the World Tree camp who had the divine power or deity status. And two of them were not here.

Adrian smiled, then nodded.

"Great. Considering that those conceited guys haven't appeared yet, it seems that the black agents under my control are doing their job pretty well."

"Black Agents? Do you mean…"

Black Agents are often referred to as spies.

Adrian has long planted some disguised Black Agents in the World Tree camp, so that they could cause disturbances in the rear, timed with his operation.

"Well, I still haven't found out where the Necromancer is and what he's doing, but I ordered three of them to shadow Valkyrie in Australia."

One member of the Originals opened their eyes wide at his pretentious words.

He asked, swallowing in surprise, "Wait a moment. Did you order them to assassinate Valkyrie?"

"What the heck? Are you crazy?"

"Pardon?"

Adrian shook his head as if he was speechless.

"How can I assassinate the Valkyrie? That should be done by Sir Z himself."

"Oh, I see…"

That guy paused for a moment. He didn't know anything about the "Black Agent Operation" because he wasn't Adrian's direct subordinate.

So Adrian began to boast, "Well, as long as we can break the Hypergate that they must have prepared in Australia for her to exit, it will give us plenty of time to destroy the world tree. Don't you think so?'

"Really? I see."

As if he was proud of himself, Adrian giggled at himself, and those who listened to him chimed in as if to curry favor with him.

"Wow! How great you are, Judge!"

"You are really out of the box when it comes to strategic thinking!"

When things went smooth, they were quickly elated with joy and satisfaction, predicting their victory too early.

"Yeah, it wasn't a bad operation."

At that moment an unfamiliar voice was heard from somewhere.

"Ugh?"

A female voice, or more precisely, a female voice filled with cynicism, echoed over their heads. Even Adrian and the Originals members, who were getting very excited a little while ago, felt tense and nervous at the voice.

They slowly turned their heads.

"Oh my God! How come you…"

They opened their eyes wide, one by one, then took a deep breath.

Someone was standing upright on the tallest spire on the roof of the building.

"Is she Valkyrie?"

That was true. She was Jisu, or Valkyrie.

A woman in her dark red full body armor was looking down at them with her long black hair fluttering.

"..."

She threw something under their feet with them unable to react because they were so shocked.

Tap-

It was a severed hand. A small symbol was engraved on its wrist, soaked in blood. It looked like a triangle inside a square. It was a symbol that meant 'Black Agent' planted by Adrian in the World Tree camp.

The Black Agents that he had dispatched were caught and killed by Valkyrie.

Only then did Adrian seem to have grasped the situation, then stepped backward, putting his hands into his pockets.

But his weapon was not there.

"Ah…"

Come to think of it, he had it confiscated at the abandoned factory.

And he knew that even if he had that wand, he could get out of this place.

Jisu threw herself from the spire. However, her body did not fall under gravity, but floated in the air, defying gravity.

She said sarcastically, "It was not a bad operation. By the way, next time if you have a chance to attack me again, try to send your agent who doesn't make a sound in front of me."
