Chapter 499 - Age After Ending (13)

Without letting down her guard, she turned her head slightly to observe what was happening at the epicenter of this vibration in the distance.

But she had no choice but to turn her head in no time.

"That doesn't make any sense…"

The whole mountain was rising.

Watching it, Z laughed again and said, "By the way, I don't have to kill the Necromancer by myself because I know many other ways to get rid of him. For example…"

He raised his right hand. Jisu lowered herself instantly, but his gun was pointed at her back, or more precisely, the world tree.

I'm going to blow away everything he has, so he can leave nothing behind."

What appeared before her eyes was more shocking.

The mountain that soared has completely disappeared! In other words, it was warped.

'What the heck?'

She could not help but be surprised. How could such a huge object disappear in an instant? Moreover, there wasn't even a portal in sight. So he must have cast a massive spell. That mountain was moved into the sky in the distance before it began to fall as a gigantic shooting star.

"I am not as arrogant as you think. So I waited for today when he would be away."

The world after the ending was always chaotic because someone made an all-out effort to create chaos.

***

The 'Order Tower', an administrative center built in the center of Asadal, was one of the tallest buildings under the shadow of the World Tree. The 'President's Office' was on the 22nd floor,' where Sungwoo usually stayed.

Tick- Tick-

Only the sound of the clock ticking was heard in the quiet office, which showed that Sungwoo had been away for quite some time. There was a thin layer of dust on the desk and bookshelf, and a bone that Mir appeared to have chewed through was scattered on the floor.

Tick- Tick-

It was a storm that broke that heavy silence.

Whooooo-

Something flew towards the Order Tower outside the windows, then barely turned and brushed against the outer wall before climbing up. It was a white object with huge wings.

Thud-

It landed on the roof of the Order Tower, shaking the building quite a bit.

The landing noise resonated throughout the area, and Kyungsoo, who was in the Asadal Command and Control Room on the 1st floor, hurriedly ran outside.

"What's going on?"

Everyone looked up at the roof of the Order Tower.

With its head held high and its vast wings outstretched, the strange creature Bone Dragon was standing tall.

***

When fighting terrorism, it is important to keep in mind that the threat is not what appears only in front of your eyes because terrorists have a bad taste of hiding weapons before taking them out at unexpected moments.

That's why 'tracking' terrorists and 'crackdown' on them are important.

And that's why the specialist team called "White Wolf Forensics Team" belonging to the Strategic Intelligence Agency was summoned whenever a terrorist attack occurred

"They are hiding the second and third tactics. So we have to find out even their fourth tactic, and nip it in the bud."

So they pursued the underlying plot of the Originals, based on their unique special tracking capability.

"We've detected an abnormal mana flow. Well, it's like short-distance movement magic."

As evidenced in things like this, they could easily detect the magic information that the enemy used a few hours ago.

"There were a total of 11 people here."

When one of the crew members scanned the floor with his hands, the footprints were visible under fluorescent light, which was a skill among the 'Pathfinder' series skills that reproduced the footprints several hours ago.

In addition to this, when they were equipped with the 'psychometric' ability to read memories from objects, they could narrow the distance with the enemy quickly. Soon they could track down the cause of the bad smell quickly.

"We've found it!"

Whoooo-

The last place they discovered was a mountain with a cold wind blowing hard.

And there they encountered Chairman Lee.

"..."

His face hardened as if he was embarrassed. Did they succeed in tracking him down?

But he said, pretending to be calm, "Well, you guys seem to be pretty mature enough to stop playing house, but kids can't beat seniors."

Chairman Lee began to feel relaxed now. Even though he didn't expect their sudden visit here, he was well prepared for some measure in this kind of situation, namely, Plan B.

"Miss Choi, close the lid."

At his order the woman standing next to him nodded, then released mana, spreading her arms. She pressed a button.

Wooooooooong!

At that moment, a huge protective shield appeared on the dotted line like blue ink, which was drawn on the floor. It provided cover for Chairman Lee and hundreds of wizards.

"Damn it!"

The forensics team moved quickly, but it was too late. The enemies completely isolated themselves from their attack.

"Break the shield!"

"It takes time!"

But time was not on their side.

"How stupid! Do you think you can snatch the tail feathers of a flying crane like us because sparrows like you are chasing after us?" Chairman Lee said, sneering at them.

Then he walked further into the inside of the shield. Soon he operated the Hypergate that he had prepared there. He tried to escape from this place.

Meanwhile, the mysterious spell that hundreds of wizards were casting was finally completed.

"Let this fall on your cities as well as this mountain!"

Kugugugugugu...

- Caution! The forbidden magic 'Scroll of Doom - Forced Warp' has been cast in the area.

Along with that message, cracks began to appear throughout the ground and the whole mountain. Trees there collapsed everywhere.

The White Wolf turned and looked around. Certain energy began to engulf the hill.

"What the heck is that?"

And it lifted the mountain in no time.

"We've got to get out of here now!"

Something serious was happening.

The whole mountain began to be lifted from the ground. Then it was warped into a farther place in an instant.

After confirming it, the forensics team opened the portal at the last minute.

***

The sunrise dyed half of the world orange.

Thump- Thump-

Normally the still dawn would have felt like a peaceful landscape, but now with roaring sounds and explosions echoing everywhere, it looked crimson.

"Ugh?"

Around that time, an observer standing on guard duty at the huge watchtower towering in the center of the western part of Asadal discovered something.

"What is that?"

A black shadow appeared in the red sunlight.

"Ugh? What do you mean?"

His assistant standing next to him also raised his head, then frowned unwittingly.

"Isn't it a dot?"

There was a black dot on top of the orange dye. And it was slowly growing.

The two could not identify the mysterious object at once, rubbed their eyes, and examined it again.

"No way…"

That was a meteorite.

Ku-oh-oh-oh-oh-

It certainly looked like a meteorite. A huge chunk of green stone was flying fast towards the city.

"No way! This can't happen!"

They just stared blankly at it without responding at all. They even forgot their duty of reporting it to their supervisors.

Ku-oh-oh-oh-oh-

It flew so fast that they did not have time to report to their supervisors. While they lifted the walkie-talkie and explained the situation, the city would disappear.

Even if they had time to respond, how could they prevent such a formidable meteorite?

With a meteor of that size, it would break through even the invisible barrier of the World Tree camp, namely the Shadow of the Divine Tree, with the destructive power of its mass.

"..."

The two just watched the scene blankly. They were just speechless, so embarrassed rather than frustrated.

At that moment a gust of wind blew from somewhere.

Whooooooo!

"Argh!"
