Chapter 507 - Age After Ending (21)

"We"ve got only five minutes left until we restore the wormhole!"

"Check all safety devices once again!"

They already reinforced the so-called "tunnel room" with the entrance to the wormhole in many ways, so that it would not collapse under any impact. Therefore, the impact that they had felt over their heads did not affect them.

But only one person, Jisu, could feel it.

"Something happened above."

The impact reverberated through the thick concrete layer and touched Jisu"s skin with the faintest vibration.

"What happened?"Kyungsoo asked.

Wiggling her eyebrows, she tried to feel it back.

"I think something has exploded."

Kyungsoo ordered one of his staff to go and check it.

But the guy who returned said something vague.

"Well, some of our members felt some mysterious impact, so they are checking it right now. They said it might have been the noise they made while installing a flying weapon."

But Jisu said, shaking her head, "I think it happened inside the research facility. And I feel like that sworn enemy of ours is rapidly approaching. Why don"t you try contacting the internal security team? I think someone has already come in."

"Got it. Hearing what you have just said, Jisu, I think you"re right. Let me send somebody else to double check it."

But it was too late.

Bang!

With a roaring noise, the entrance door to the "tunnel" room, a huge iron gate, was crushed.

Goooooooong-

That vibration hit the tunnel room, and hundreds of players waiting inside the tunnel room all bent down.

"What is it?"

There was another impact, which made the 20cm-thick iron gate collapse.

Thudi!

Everyone was astonished to see that.

What the h.e.l.l was it that broke through that thick door with only two hits?

Soon, about twenty human shadows walked in through the open door.

And the one standing in the center of them, a giant in purple scale armor and a purple iron mask, gracefully raised his arms.

"We want to share this historic moment with you," said Z.

Jisu drew her sword, and said, "Sungwoo, that"s the guy!"

Sungwoo looked at Z, who, in turn, looked at Sungwoo.

White breath slowly came out from inside Z"s mask.

Rattle- Rattle-

A strange tension seemed to fill the room.

One of them was expressionless, while the other"s expression was hidden inside his mask.

"..."

And neither of them said a word.

At that moment black letters began to arise from the bodies of those standing behind Z"s back. They seemed to be memorizing a spell before they came in, so it seems to have been activated just now.

Tztztztztz...

With a strange sound, their bodies burned black, then began to crumble. Panting from the huge pain, they did not stop chanting spells.

They then fell and died one by one.

"Is it black magic?"

And the black smoke rising from their corpses became a certain sign, then began to be absorbed into Z"s body.

Cheeeeeeeeeeee-

At first glance, it was very unusual.

"Lol!"

Z also twisted his body and moaned, as if he felt it was not easy to accept that power.

Thud!

He threw down the iron case he was holding in his left hand and knelt before him.

"Lol! Necromancer, I have prepared a lot for you."

Z opened his case with his trembling hands.

Woooooooooo-

A big sword was inside it. When Z reached out and grabbed its hilt, the sword emitted a brilliant golden light as if it woke from sleep.

"Whew…"

It was the best of the legendary sword, "Excalibur".

"Necromancer, I"m going to take back everything, by all means, you have taken from me."

Saying so, he pulled Excalibur from the sheath. With a gentle sound, the sword revealed its beautiful shape.

Woooooooooo-

A brilliant golden light burst out even more intensely, contrasting with the black energy that covered his body.

Then a message flashed before his eyes.

- "Battle of the Great King" begins.

*You are blessed with great blessings. But the more you are exposed to this power, the weaker you will be. The total amount of time you can handle the sword depends on your level, so use it wisely. (Remaining time: 31 minutes 11 seconds)

Does that mean that any king will eventually decline and fall? Because of this penalty, its owner could not carry "Excalibur" at all times.

However, its effect was enormous even for a short period of time.

- You are blessed with Excalibur and its sheath.

* All stats are greatly increased. (+40)

* Absolute immunity is granted to all abnormal statuses.

* Absolute defense against all attacks". (5 times)

* All stats increase every 1 minute. (+1)

That wasn"t all.

- You have absorbed "Forbidden Magic (Unnamed)". You will be in the "Warrior of Evil" status for 10 minutes.

* All stats increase (+10)

* Magic immunity increases (+50%)

* Moving visibility increases (+50%)

* Reflexes boost (+50%)

* All pain reduction (-100%)

Black magic he created by sacrificing his subordinates reinforced his body.

Gooooooooh-

Z let out a rough breath, acutely feeling a powerful force he had never felt before.

He felt as if he became a giant beast.

"..."

Even though he failed in all his operations against the Necromancer, he invested all he had to kill the Necromancer this time.

Rattle- Rattle-

While Z was approaching Sungwoo, the research director, Hendrix, shouted at Sungwoo urgently, "I"m sorry to bother you, but we"ve got only 2 minutes left until the wormhole opens! Please kill him quickly!"

Jisu moved first to hear that. She immediately jumped off the ground, throwing herself toward him to behead him.

Z also sensed her action. He swung Excalibur violently toward her as if he swung a bat. Then a shock wave occurred. The floor shattered and its fragments bounced into the air.

She was swept away by the impact and bounced off her. Just before she crashed into the ceiling, she quickly turned her body.

She pushed the ceiling with both feet, then threw herself toward him again at a terrific speed. She landed on his head in an instant.

This time she was faster.

She swung her body in the air, then wielded the sword towards Z"s back. It was an accurate and powerful attack.

Clang!

The golden s.h.i.+eld around him blocked her sword.

"What the heck is this?"

It was a s.h.i.+eld that emitted from the big sword that Z was holding, or more precisely, its heath.

Z felt as if he blocked her attack with the sword, but her attack itself was nullified.

Even though Jisu was not sure, it was one of Excalibur"s capabilities, "Absolute Defense".

Then Z swung the big sword.

Clang!

Jisu leaped to step back. She managed to avoid his sword attack, but a big wave occurred, hitting her body. She wielded the sword all her might toward the wave to cancel it out. But she could not completely block it, so she was swept away by the wave.

"Argh!"

She groaned in pain after she was thrown back dozens of meters.

It was indeed so powerful.

Jisu felt like her body would be crushed if she confronted it squarely.

"Necromancer!"

After pus.h.i.+ng her out, Z finally faced the Necromancer.

"...."
