Only I Am a Necromancer - Chapter 508 - : Age After Ending (22)
Z charged at his sworn rival, holding Excalibur with both hands.
But Sungwoo didn’t move.
Instead, purple waves occurred on his shoulders. The space around him was being distorted.
– Caution! The ‘Abyss Door’ has opened in the area.
‘What the heck is this?’ Z did not understand that message. ‘It’s the first time I’ve ever seen it.’
In order to attack the Necromancer, he collected all information about him and analyzed it. But he had never seen this kind of skill.
‘Is it something he has never revealed until now?’

He faced another setback in his operation.
Z slowed down his attack a bit.
‘It does not matter. I’ll fight it out with him this time.’
Z made up his mind afresh, then decided to charge at the Necromancer.
Since he had ‘Absolute Defense’, he felt that regardless of his attack, he would be able to defend it easily and seize the moment to counterattack.
In other words, he attacked him first to size up the Necromancer’s way of fighting.
“One minute before the wormhole opens!”
Hendrix shouted, which echoed through the wormhole room.
Sungwoo replied leisurely, “Got it. Let me kill him right away.”
At that moment, Z was stricken with an indescribable nervousness.
‘Why do I feel so nervous?’
He slowed down moving.
“…”
The closer he got to the Necromancer, he belatedly realized as if he was running towards a beast without knowing his place. He wasn’t stupid. Rather, he was the best and the strongest.
So he noticed something was wrong.
“Ah….”
Sungwoo’s level was 60, which was tremendous by any standard.
Of course, one’s level wasn’t everything, but its impact depended on whose level it was.
The Necromancer’s level 60 was definitely different from others at the same level.
The moment Z realized it belatedly, unidentified messages began to appear before his eyes.
– Caution! The ‘Abyss Door’ has opened in the area.
– Caution! The ‘Abyss Door’ has opened in the area.
– Caution! The ‘Abyss Door’ has opened in the area.
– Caution! The ‘Abyss Door’ has opened in the area.
– Caution! The ‘Abyss Door’ has opened in the area.
– Caution! The ‘Abyss Door’ has opened in the area.
– Caution! The ‘Abyss Door’ has opened in the area.
A purple portal opened right before Z’s eyes.

Sungwoo brought about the ending in person. One year has passed since then, and he hasn’t stopped playing the game. He was still actively hunting as a more enthusiastic player than anyone else. Of course, he did it out of necessity.
‘Of course, the administration is also necessary for smooth control, but fundamentally it must be backed up by strong power.’
He leveled up according to that standard, learned skills, and obtained items.
In other words, he kept growing endlessly.
He set out to find unoccupied dungeons and hunted field boss monsters that still roamed the ground.
‘I have to make sure nobody can challenge me. That’s the easiest way to secure safety.’
As a result, he increased his power at a much faster rate than before the ending. He could do it because he was immersed in growth without facing obstacles such as miscellaneous quests or hostile forces. Because of that, he was much ahead of others.
Just as those who had capital made more money, the ones who already had great power could have more power.
Sungwoo intended to create a super-gap between himself and others, so they could never narrow it in the system.
And his judgment was right. Whatever threat he faced, he could easily block it like today.
“…”
The one who dared to challenge the Necromancer faced a big obstacle.
“…”
Z looked at the purple portal that covered the whole world without saying a word, breathing out roughly. He didn’t know where that door would lead or what would come out of it, but it would be well beyond his imagination.
“Necromancer, you’re making good use of the privileges you have stolen from me! I can feel it when you show me a new tactic like this.”
His voice trembled strangely.
“…”
But Sungwoo did not answer. He knew from long experience that talking to people like him was just useless. And the longer he spent time with him, the worse it would be for him.
Then something started.
Dozens of portals threw something out.
Along with the enormous wind pressure, as if it came from dozens of aircraft engines,
black smoke poured out of the portal and swept Z all of a sudden.
“Kheeeeeeeek…”
Z tightened his legs and curled his body as far as he could to keep him from being crushed and thrown away by the gust. It was the ‘Abyss Breath’ that contained the power of death. In the past Sungwoo could summon it through the ‘corpse explosion’ alone, but he could do it anytime he wanted.
“It’s useless!”
But Z wasn’t affected at all because he was immune to all abnormal statuses after he gained the power of ‘Excalibur.’
“Well, if this is all your power…”
Z’s voice seemed relaxed now. He thought he could confront the Necromancer.
But this was only the beginning of the Necromancer’s attack.
The portals poured out something else.
This time, it had a form. It was an infinite number of corpses immersed in the abyss, the so-called ‘Abyss Hands,’ gigantic hands made of their bones.
The giant hands large enough to hold an elephant stretched out from all directions and rushed towards Z. He felt as if he was dreaming a nightmare.
“Damn it!”
Z swung Excalibur to block the incoming hands from all directions.
He managed to block the first couple of hands, but he couldn’t stop all the hands protruding from dozens of portals at the same time.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
The Abyss Hands flying from all directions hit his body in a row, so his ‘Absolute Defense’, which he could use only four times, collapsed in an instant.
He was now defenseless.
“Oh, no!”
Z crouched his body, then used the power of Helios, namely, the power of the sun. Flames rose and began to burn everything near his body. It was a shield that burned everything that approached him.
But this was only temporary.
There was no chance that the ‘Abyss Hands’, which were made with the high-level death magic, could melt and disappear because of such flames.
“Khuuuuuuuuk!”
In the end, Z was crushed by the ‘Abyss Hands,’ and fell to the floor.
At that moment, he even dropped Excalibur. He hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab it, but he could not. Excalibur slipped and skidded far away.
He twisted his body, but he couldn’t get out.
“Ahhhhhhhh! Necromancer!”
The only thing he could do now was shout at him with a voice full of hate.
His voice, which was usually silent, cracked and spit out a squeaky sound.
But even that failed because Sungwoo turned and disappeared out of the black smoke without hearing his shrieking voice. It was a total disregard for him. So much so that the Necromancer felt he was not even worth fighting
“No way! How can he…”
Z suddenly went limp.
He was subdued at once by the Necromancer as if a kid was overpowered by an adult so easily.
