I stopped being a warrior and became the strongest

“What the hell is going on here?”

“W-we 're not going to do that, are we? What?”

Maybe it's because of a sudden situation.

Confused Awakened Awakeners are spouting nonsense.

A relatively experienced middle-aged man calms them down.

“Calm down. You said you wished for safe passage before you got here, right? I wonder what that means. It means we just have to get out of here! ”

“ · · · ”

Maybe it's because of his relatively calm tone.

Auseong fades, and the middle-aged man continues to speak.

“And think about it. You said it was morning feeding. What do you think that means? It's not the immediate delivery, it's the time until the next one. ”

Like you don't eat lunch right after breakfast.

It meant there was at least time until the next meal.

“So you're saying we should find a way out of here in the allotted time? ”

“You seem like a novice, but your head seems to be working rather well. Exactly.”

A middle-aged man nodding at the woman who asked him a question.

A man with a sword around his waist quietly asks.

“You speak plainly of reason. It's understandable, but there's a problem. How do we get out of here? no matter how you look around, you don't see an escape route. ”

“I'll keep looking, like I did before. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is we shouldn't panic. If you're anxious, you can't see anything. Keeping cool and calm will increase your chances of ever getting out of here. ”

A middle-aged man suddenly pointing to a dragon who had raised his hand.

“Look at the Bone Dragon. He's already looking for a way out, isn't he? That's what only a skilled Awakener can see. ”

“... looking for a way? All I see is standing still. How do you know that? ”

The middle-aged man shrugs at the sharp question.

“That's the difference between a relationship and nothing. How many times do you think I've survived before? ”

“ · · · ”

The others can't argue.

The middle-aged man smiles and continues to say.

“What about the Bone Dragon? Do you really think he's in the position he is without any obstacles? After all these disasters and obstacles, we've come to our current position. And those experiences will definitely help us escape. ”

Was it persuaded by the words of the middle-aged man?

As the Awakened agree, a woman nods.

“So we just wait for the Bone Dragon to find a way out? ”

“ · · · ”

A middle-aged woman shooting at her with cold eyes at her question.

“What are you waiting for? You sound like a beginner, so listen to me. No one here is going to protect your life. It's not obligatory. It's not common sense out there. Even if I cut your throat at the last minute, that's a common denominator. ”

“ · · · ”

A middle-aged man can't even argue that a woman growls like this.

My head is puckered.

“Listen to the others. Your life is your own. No matter how righteous the Bone Dragon is, I don't know what will happen to life. He could end up snoring and dying in here. I say again, take care of your own life. Okay?”

“.. I understand. ”

Let's see the Awakened gather together under the influence of the middle-aged.

The Bone Dragon gazes back at them.

"Yes, you must protect your own life. ’

It is a space where no one is responsible for the consequences of choice.

If at last he acts like the whole body of the past, how can he think like that?

I don't know if he's optimistic or thoughtless.

A Bone Dragon who watched a woman who listened to a middle-aged man's instruction.

He soon gains his attention and starts looking around the surroundings.

Dome shaped, underwater, and a lot of people -- is this also the inside of the machine that feeds the fish?

I don't know why they feed people to fish.

It was a quick task to find a way out of here.

“ · · · ”

However, there are no tools or devices involved in the escape, no matter how you look around.

"That's odd... At least I need a little clue..."

At least every advance he's ever broken through has a few clues hidden all around it.

But this was different.

‘I don't even see a little hint. ’

Then to get out of here.

Do I have to get out of the water with those countless eyes?

‘No, it can't be. Maybe there's something hidden somewhere we need to escape. ’

The Bone Dragon continues to explore the space.

‘Huh? This is...

The Bone Dragon saw strange shapes on the floor.

Greed thrives in despair? What's that supposed to mean? ’

Complex symbols, formulas, and sentences that are hard to understand.

Why is it written on the floor?

Is this some kind of lead to an escape? ’

The Bone Dragon was lost in thought.

The Awakeners who were looking at his reactions were also furious when they saw the shape on the floor.

“Was there such a thing? ”

“I never thought I'd see the ground in the environment... but the Bone Dragon...”

Awakened by his meticulous observation.

“If you release those symbols, will you be able to escape here? ”

“I'm not sure, but I'd say that's a possibility. I just don't know how to get it out.”

A clue is just a clue.

Having a clue does not yield results.

“Well..."

When everyone was wrapping their heads around it.

Kieing

Suddenly, a sword pops out of his hand.

Wh-what are you doing? ’

Are you trying to destroy that clue? Why? "

I don't know why the Bone Dragon decided to do that.

It was practically impossible.

‘It was a space that was undamaged by our weapons and abilities. It's impossible to destroy the Bone Dragon, even if it is a Bone Dragon. "

“Step aside.”

But then came the final command from the Bone Dragon's mouth.

Awakenings move quickly.

Boong

Let's sweep through the floor at the speed of a light sword.

A fine solid line is drawn over it.

‘Phew... It works. ’

He shot Bress up there, but he didn't even scratch himself.

The Bone Dragon has proven its distinctive effect here.

‘This will change the story. ’

It would have taken me a lot of time to solve the puzzle.

‘There was nothing around anyway. All that's left is checking the floor with this symbol on it and something underneath it. ’

There was no reason to solve the puzzle with a shortcut.

“Detos, a little something for Bress. ”

If you adjust your power incorrectly, the water will eat away at this place.

I needed delicate control.

[Grrr!]

The pleasant voice of detos echoes in the suit.

Kieing

A huge force builds up in his hands.

“Shoot.”

His terrible voice echoes.

Black rays shoot from the aggregated arms and are directly against the floor.

‘You don't think the water's coming from down there, do you? ’

If a hole was drilled, we'd all be dead, right? ’

At that time, the Awakeners were watching the results with worrying and anxious eyes.

“Th-that's...”

Strange objects are caught in their sights through the drilled holes.

“That looks... like a submarine. ”

“Oh, my God., why was that hidden? ”

“That symbol was a clue to get into that crypt. But the Bone Dragon just saved us time by blowing up clues.”

“Oh, my God, so he thought about the situation and broke the clue? Where the hell were you thinking? ”

The Awakened look and wonder at the Bone Dragon and the Submarine.

“Huh? ”

One Awakened awakener circles around the sub, frowning.

“What's the matter? ”

“Look at this. It's the only one with a large number of toxins on it. ”

Number 20 near the submarine entrance.

Evolvers who saw it gathered each other's opinions.

“It's like the number of a submarine. It won't mean anything. ”

I soon find it meaningless and get interested.

Whereas.

‘Hmm... 20. If that's what I think it is... "

Unlike what the other Awakeners think.

Bone Dragon on a submarine.

Tic

19

Then the number drops from 20 to 19.

The Bone Dragon nods as if it were.

“This is the number for the garden. ”

“.. the garden? ”

“Yes, a garden for submarines. Only 20 of us can get out of here. ”

“20 people..”

Awakeners who swallow his words.

There are more than 20 Awakenings left.

“ · · · ”

Which means it was impossible for everyone to escape.

The tension starts to drift between the relatively calm atmosphere.

“I will survive this. No matter how many people die. ”

“So am I. You think I'm gonna die in this place? ”

Awakeners holding each other's weapons.

There is an atmosphere that seems to want each other's lives right now.

“Ugh...”

Whereas the Awakened seem to have just stepped foot before, they don't know what to do but just look at their eyes.

The middle-aged man who was controlling the atmosphere speaks carefully.

“We can't all get out of here. There are 20 people in the garden, and they can escape on a submarine? ”

“Really?"

“Let's think about the possibilities after that. What if the sub arrives in the area of monsters? ”

Evolvers listen to his reasonably sound opinions.

“Thinking about the worst possibilities... I think we should start with the ones we don't need. ”

“So you're saying let's get rid of the needless crumbs first? This horse? Th-this place is worse than it looks. ”

“A place that requires more coolness than compassion. Do you think I made this decision because I like it? ”

“That's right. Anyway, I agree with your opinion. ”

When the eyes of the Awakened slowly returned to the beginners.

“Stop.”

A faint voice came from the Bone Dragon's mouth, watching the situation.

A middle-aged man cautiously approaches him.

“As you know, Bone Dragon only has 20 people on board that sub. Wouldn't it be heartbreaking if anyone survived? ”

It's a cold but realistic reaction

‘If there were a limited number of survivors, everyone would have to react like this. ’

“Only 19 can actually ride there, except for the Bone Dragon.”

“Why not me? ”

“.. Yes? No, it's...”

A middle-aged man sweating cold at the Bone Dragon's bite.

There was no Awakening to fight the Bone Dragon without going crazy.

Of course, one place is his, isn't it?

“If you're right, I also have to fight to cover up 20 survivors. Isn't that right?"

“ · · · ”

Middle-aged people swallow saliva at the voice of the cold Bone Dragon.

"If he's willing, the Awakenings here..."

It was no exaggeration to say that everyone died.

It was a situation where everything could change in one word.

As much as I can make fun of you if you make fun of me.

“ · · · ”

The middle-aged man was conserving words over and over again.

His eyes tremble with the raging voice of the Bone Dragon.

“There is a way for everyone to live. ”

The End
