I stopped being a warrior and became the strongest

“.. Yes? ”

I can't believe there's a way for everyone to live.

Is that what you're saying?

“Is... is that really possible? ”

“You don't believe me? ”

“Th-that's not it. ”

A middle-aged man who asked a question in an emotionless voice quickly shakes his head.

I don't know what I'm seeing that's possible.

But the question still remained unchanged.

The Bone Dragon opens its mouth to face such gazes.

“The method is simple. We can get out of here. ”

“I can... get out of here?" ”

I thought I'd say something big.

I'm just saying, you can get out of this room.

‘Rumor has it the Bone Dragon is nothing. That's all I could think about. ’

You're taking the sub with you, right? I'm so dirty... ’

Awakening in their guts.

A Bone Dragon that keeps on talking.

“The number you can escape is 20, increasing the absolute value. ”

“What? ”

Increasing the absolute limit?

Which means we're going to have to increase the number of passengers on board the sub.

“ · · · ”

Maybe it's his bombing speech.

A heavy silence flows through the Awakenings.

Does that... make any sense? ’

Increasing the number of flight attendants? That's impossible! This can't be happening! ’

But even in deep doubts, the curiosity grew.

A middle-aged man bravely asks questions on their behalf.

“I-I don't think I can keep up with the Bone Dragon's thoughts with my d-lack of insight. ”

Just like the Bone Dragon said.

The man keeps talking.

“We know that a defined system of transitions cannot change anyone. as if 20 people were the limit. ”

“I know. ”

“By the way, how did the Bone Dragon say it would increase its absolute...”

As the man spills his ponytail, everyone's gaze is directed at the Bone Dragon's mouth.

“Those who are excluded from 20 will escape with me. ”

“ · · · ”

Confusion is becoming overwhelming with words that are hard to understand.

The middle-aged man asks again.

“Er... so... may I assume that Bone Dragon will be escaping here with only 20 men left?" ”

The Bone Dragon nodded as if it were the right answer.

Everyone is frightened and unable to even speak properly.

"So 20 are safely aboard the sub, and the rest use the Bone Dragon's power to escape? ’

‘Even if the Bone Dragon is an unprecedented Awakener, is that even possible? ’

‘Dammit... I was hoping for a little, but I can't believe I'm here.’

In common sense, his opinions were as close to impossible as possible.

No one believed his words.

“Stay here if you don't want to. ”

“ · · · ”

But they had no other choice.

No one was arguing.

Some Awakened Shine Eyes.

‘Wait.It's not over yet. We just need to get to 20 people, right? ’

The question is, will the Bone Dragon take me out in 20... and we have to negotiate? ’

As the Bone Dragon has always been the one in charge.

Everyone looks at him eagerly.

“Burn the Awakened who have the worst abilities. That's my decision. ”

“ · · · ”

“Come out before me one by one from now on. ”

A decisive voice echoes through the space.

Awakened people can't even tolerate the complaints inside.

He moves forward and demonstrates his abilities.

“Pass. Hop in. ”

“Thank you!”

While the faces of the Awakened who passed through a lifetime of interviews were joyful.

“Good job, reject. Step aside.”

“ · · · ”

Instead, I have clouds on the faces of those who have the ability to heal my body.

“Show me your true power. ”

“How did you...”

There were occasional Awakenings who wanted to deceive me.

The lie was meaningless in front of him with the truth.

Soon the screening will be over.

“That's... ironic. I didn't think I'd be able to survive because of my poor abilities.”

“Thank you. Thank you.”

The most incompetent Awakeners were on the sub.

“Damn it."

Other Awakeners were looking at them with envious eyes.

A middle-aged man cautiously asks:

“M-Bone Dragon. I agree that the Bone Dragon's plan is a brilliant one... but is it really feasible? ”

“You don't trust me? ”

“N-no! It's just...

In a dry voice, the man is furious and quickly shakes his hands.

“How you're going to get out of here, and how you're going to survive out there in all that big fish... at least if you tell me how to do it, I'll feel a little better." ”

I acknowledge that the Bone Dragon has dealt with the catastrophes that destroyed the city and has made great achievements.

But that's only in the past.

Who knows if the Bone Dragon's power has weakened in the end?

“ · · · ”

When the anxiety each of us had was gradually amplified.

“Icarus. Put up the veil. ”

The quiet recitation of the Bone Dragon resounded.

Wheeing

A cool breeze begins to blow through the closed space.

Sassasak

The calm breeze soon took shape.

No one can imagine it was made by the Spirit King of the Wind.

“Is that...”

Awakeners who saw a translucent object resembling a large box were staring at the Bone Dragon dazed.

“Get in here. ”

A Bone Dragon pointing to a box.

“... go inside?" ”

“This is the way you asked me. ”

Then the middle-aged man looks at the box, swallows his saliva, and slowly sets his foot into it.

Zec

And his body went through the box as if it was going through the air.

“ · · · ”

The eyes of the Awakened become cooler.

"Crazy... that's the way?" What am I supposed to do if I go in there? ’

‘Course the water's coming through,' cause... shit. Ha.. ’

When their faces gradually turned desperate.

Woong

Suddenly the Bone Dragon raised his shining sword.

Knock down the translucent box containing the man.

Cow

And the clear reverberation shook the room.

“ · · · ”

The Awakeners stare at the box with dazed eyes alternately.

“This is my way, and the decision is yours. ”

“ · · · ”

Is it moving, or is it not leaking?

Numerous doubts shook the Awakened's mind.

“Th-that 'll do. ”

Not as many options in the first place.

Awakeners enter the box crying.

“Safety, even if it's been proven to be somewhat... if water comes in...”

“Then you should think you're dead.”

They were sighing deeply as they predicted their future destiny.

“I... I'll see what I can do! Grey sigh!”

One Awakened using my abilities.

Sent a sharp spear of water to the outskirts of the box.

Cow

The window of water directly across the box loses its shape and scatters the acid.

“Look at that! The water's not coming out! ”

The Awakening Man who was watching him shouted God.

‘I was... Honestly, I was wondering what box... It's worth coming up with. ’

‘I can live. I can live!! ’

Then I feel relieved with other people's expressions.

‘Doubts are... well, it's not that I don't understand. ’

The Bone Dragon who was watching.

He grumbles.

“I'll be out in time for the next ceremony. ”

The Bone Dragon's bland voice echoes.

Awakeners staring at him dazed.

‘Thank you so much... Why are you helping us like this? I don't know...’

‘I don't think heroes have ever done this before... Is he mixed up with his acquaintances? ’

Circumstances that cannot be understood by common sense.

The Awakeners tried to read the Bone Dragon's insides somehow, but they didn't know.

'Cause if you die, there's gonna be a big deduction, so we have to stop that. ’

A Bone Dragon that keeps thinking while confusing everyone's face.

And if we save them... maybe we'll get more points. ’

If we succeed in rescuing the people who are being eaten by fish.

You might get quite a lot of points.

‘Yes. Let's burn them all. ’

He was instructing Icarus to build another box.

“M-Bone Dragon... I hate to say this, but... isn't there a better way? I don't know why you chose the hard path.”

A middle-aged man speaks in secret.

“That's the path I chose. ”

“ · · · ”

I wonder what his answer was.

The middle-aged man looks at him with an eaten gaze.

I heard that if you get stuck at the end of the day, you get to know your personality.

It doesn't matter what the media is saying, what other Awakeners are saying.

The Bone Dragon, who is here now, was a true hero and their savior.

Kwaak

Was it violently moved?

A middle-aged man holds his hand tightly and says:

“Honestly, I thought... there was a bubble in the rumors. But today, I found out that the rumor had been underestimated. You... are a true hero! ”

“ · · · ”

I didn't make this decision because I wanted to sacrifice myself for someone else.

‘Well, it doesn't matter. ’

I don't think there's anything wrong with this misunderstanding.

The Bone Dragon nods, his hands tapping.

“Prepare for escape. ”

One last thing.

The Awakened follow the Bone Dragon's orders and begin boarding the submarine and entering the box.

“If you want to live, get in. ”

Everyone who was left in the room follows his instructions into the box.

Soon I finished all my preparations and waited for the moment of the battle.

[Lunch time. Start feeding.]

Soon, the voice will ring the room to announce the second batch.

‘It's time. ’

The Bone Dragon stands in front of the space where the ceremony takes place.

‘I'm a little worried, but it's going to be okay. ’

Some people think it's a reckless challenge and it's impossible.

‘But nothing is impossible for me. ’

“We're leaving soon. Prepare.”

At the same time as ordering the Awakenings of the Bone Dragon.

Chop chop.

The place that I thought was a translucent wall opened.

The dark water of the sea enters their field of view.

“ · · · ”

"I never thought the sea would be so scary."

‘If we make it back alive, we'll never swim again. ’

Everyone was so nervous that they couldn't even breathe.

Wiiiiiiing

Suddenly there was a violent breeze in the space.

Along with the Bone Dragon, the box containing the people begins to run towards the sea.

“Huff, puff, puff.”

Soon, the water in a rectangular shape and a translucent box will come into contact.

Burr

The Black Wave swiftly envelops them.

“Oh, my God."

But luckily, the box was still intact in the rough waterfall.

I couldn't even get a drop of water inside.

“You're... you're fine. Haha... I'm fine! I'm fine!”

“Now we're alive.”

When the Awakeners held each other in cheer.

Zec

Suddenly, huge eyes protrude from the abyss.

“Oh, my God."

“What kind of body...”

Those who have handled dishes or tastes on top of the prize.

Now I look at them as if they were prey.

Meow.

“Ugh...”

When the meat opens its jaws.

In the meantime, the stubborn teeth seemed meaningful.

“It's okay... it's gonna be okay... it's a space created by the Bone Dragon, right? ”

“Ugh...”

From gibberish Awakeners to moaning gibberish.

I could see a lot of panic in people.

[nonsense response]

“Gaaaahhhh!”

Finally, their attack began.

Each of them opens their jaws and tries to swallow the box.

“Waaaahhhh!”

“Please... please...”

When people screamed and cried.

Spatula

A beam of light sweeps through the fish's head.

“ · · · ”

Dumplings

“What the...”

When the Awakened looked at my head blank.

The Bone Dragon moves freely into the water and approaches them.

“Don't make a fuss, just stand still. ”

The End
