Only I Am a Necromancer

Chapter 504: Age After Ending (18)

Wooooooowoo-

Ships equipped with magic engineering engines proceeded to the vast sea in a formation. A total of 489 people were on board 21 ships. They were Z’s ‘death squad’ members. And their target was a special research facility on a hidden island somewhere in the vast ocean.

“We immediately occupy the island and the research facility, then wait for Sir Z’s arrival!”

Composed of the elite of the elites of the Originals, they were at an average level of 19, armed with special items that were airlifted from all over the world.

The Original members fought against the World Tree camp with the help of Beast Terror until now because they could not confront the enemy by themselves, but the ‘death squad’ members under Z’s control judged that they were competent enough to confront the World Tree forces.

Woooooooooo-

So they confidently went out to sea to launch an attack against the enemy, but they had to stop a little later.

“What’s going on?” Alvarez, a middle-aged Mexican man in charge of the fleet, asked nervously.

He didn’t order his men to stop, but the whole fleet under his command stopped moving.

“Well, it’s because…”

The observation officer had a pretty serious expression as if he witnessed something with a reconnaissance magic drone. As if he doubted his own eyes, he checked the pictures sent by the magic drone over and over again, then reported in a trembling voice.

“Dragon!”

“What the heck?”

Alvarez could not believe it.

“What did you say? Dragon? A dragon appeared?”

“Yeah, that’s right!”

Alvarez hurried out onto the deck.

“It’s over there!”

The deckman pointed to one side of the sky.

“Oh my God…”

A dragon was looking down on the fleet with its huge black wings spread out in the deep blue sky. It was a dragon.

“…”

Alvarez could not give any orders.

Even though he commanded an elite unit of 489 people, he wasn’t sure that they could defeat a dragon among other enemies.

The dragon slowly flapped its wings for some purpose, just staring at the fleet.

Alvarez felt his body stiffen like a prey standing before a beast.

‘It’s not the Red Dragon. If that’s the case, it’s not Isabella of the World Tree camp. What a relief! It might not be our enemy…’

But there was a person behind the ‘Black Dragon’. A woman with red hair was lying with her chin resting on her hand.

“Ugh? Is it a person?”

Would it be possible for him to speak to that person?

Alvarez looked at her, hoping against hope. He saw her move her mouth and say something. Was she speaking to the dragon? Was she ordering the dragon not to attack them?

But her order was contrary to what he wished for.

“Come on, it’s time for the attack, Mir.”

The woman with red hair riding on the dragon’s back was none other than the infamous Red Dragon of the World Tree camp, Isabella.

“This is your first actual practice of fighting in a war. So focus on it from now on. And do what I have taught you. Wipe them out. Got it?”

After she said that, she yawned. At that moment a fire came out from her throat with gray smoke billowing out there.

“If I did what I was taught to do, it’s so disgusting,” Mir said as if he was bothered by her order.

“What did you say? Disgusting? Are you talking about me?”

“Oops, sorry. It’s because I’m still not good at expressing myself with words…”

“Are you kidding me? I know you’re an eloquent speaker!”

Shouting at him, Isabella slapped Mir’s back with her palm, so Mir flinched with a shrug.

She said, “We need disgusting attacks right now. So do it quickly! Attack them in the most dragon style, got it? Remember? Now, do it quickly!”

Mir folded his wings and nosedived as if he had no other choice.

“Oh, they’re coming!”

Noticing the dragon coming down rapidly, the players on the deck moved around urgently. But Mir approached sea level so quickly that they had little time to respond.

And when he opened his big mouth wide, something like a black wave burst out of his throat.

Quaaaaaaah!

He let out a black breath at the two ships in front. Unlike the Red Dragon’s fire breath, it exhaled poison and acid.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!”

The patrol ships made of iron melted like cheese.

“Alright. Good job! Tighten the muscle on your neck! Fire it further!”

In the blink of an eye, the three ships under Alverez melted, emitting thick smoke.

And within a few seconds, they sank to the bottom of the water, making waves.

“It’s not as strong as my fire breath, but yours is pretty cool too. So keep firing it! That’s the power of the dragon!”

Contrary to Isabella’s expectations, Mir stopped breathing out and then started hiccups with a cough.

“Cough! I feel like vomiting! I don’t think your style doesn’t fit me!”

“What?”

“Honestly, I like my dad’s way.”

“Oh my God!”

After all, Mir changed his fighting style, namely, Sungwoo’s way.

– Caution! The ‘Fellblade’ has begun in that area.

It was the signature fighting tactic that Sungwoo used when he confronted the enemy.

Black smoke burst out of the air and spread out over the sea level.

And white objects began to pop out of it.

Rattle! Rattle!

They were skeletons.

“Stop them!”

The skeletons got on the ships and took control of the decks in an instant. Then they stormed into the cabins. They fought against each other bare-handed everywhere.

But that was only the beginning.

“Explode!”

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

When Mir shouted, corpses exploded in various parts of the fleet, making large holes in the ships.

“Ship No. 11 has been occupied!”

Among the skeletons Mir summoned was the ‘Sea Sepencer’ in the shape of a giant sea snake.

Their shadows wriggled and moved under the ship, then at some point, they soared like a pillar and coiled the ship.

When they coiled the ship with their tails as long as dozens of meters, the ship was crumpled after it was bent forcefully. Then they dragged the ship down to the sea.

“We’re sinking!”

“Damn it! Get out of here!”

Those players who could not escape were buried with the ship.

“…Pooh!”

Some of them managed to swim and stuck their heads out of the water.

Suddenly, a purple poisonous cloud appeared above their heads, sprinkling poisonous rain. As soon as they came out of the water, they were covered with a more terrifying liquid.

“Argh! My face is melting!”

“Don’t get wet by that rain!”

It was truly hell for them.

“Alright, I like this kind of attack much better!” said Mir, laughing loudly as if he found it was great fun to see the enemy sinking.

But Isabella sighed deeply, watching him.

“I just don’t know why the hell the Necromancer left him with me. He is not a dragon, but Lich!”

Anyway Z’s death squad members were buried without setting foot on the island.

***

The Necromancer arrived on the 3rd basement floor of the Wormhole Lab.

In addition, a large number of high-ranking officials from the World Tree camp, including Jisu, Kyungsoo, and Junghoon, accompanied him.

“Welcome!”

The head of the lab, Hendrix, greeted them. He took off his robe, wearing only a short-sleeved shirt probably because he was sweating while trying to tackle the anomaly of the wormhole. His bare forearms looked so tough that he could be called a security chief, not the lab chief.

“Sorry. We have not figured out its cause yet.”

This was not the type of problem that the lab scientists could solve this time. Even the GMs from Zero Earth could not figure out the cause.

“We’ve found out nothing. We’re so ashamed.”

They had no idea of who was restoring the wormhole right now.

‘After all, we’ve got to face that guy to know why.’
