Kill the Dragon

“Die.”

Lee Han landed, muttering and shining his eyes. Blood drips from your forehead to your chin. As I was on the move, I hit and scratched it, and it was a mess.

Kwa-jik!

Lee ran upward, putting a spear through the Death Worm's back. A lightened shell was cut through the window blade. Blood splatters. Lee wanted to leave the spear at least now because his grip was stiff. However, the Death Worm will recover in no time.

‘It has to be done at once. ’

Lee had pulled a few grenade pins with his teeth. Grenades are shoved into the Death Worm's torn lower body. Lee hurls himself upward and pierces a spear into the deathworm's head.

Boom, boom!

In a series of explosions, the Death Worm's lower body is crushed again. Lee got down on his deathworm back and survived the explosion.

The Death Worm is now too small to regenerate. You may die if you don't eat new food.

“Ha! Die! God damn it!”

Shootings continue toward the weakened Death Worm. The local soldiers who were hiding were excited to open fire. They thought Lee Han died in an explosion against the Death Worm. The bullet grazed Yihan's forearm.

Puck! Puck!

A bullet in the Death Worm's body. He was weak enough to harden the cover.

‘No. Run! "

Lee wanted to shout at the local soldiers, but he couldn't speak because his throat was bleeding. The Death Worm moves forward with a bullet. You leap with all your last moments and attack the soldiers.

“Shhhhh!”

The Death Worm has eaten again. The Death Worm, which quickly fed three soldiers, wakes up. The resurfacing has resumed. The coat became rougher and harder. A warhead sticks out of my body.

It was the work of local soldiers who had no experience engaging with minions. They seek an opportunity for the Death Worm to weaken, but give the Death Worm a chance to recover.

“Damn amateurs! ”

Arc's soldiers shout. They think the Death Worm is about to die. If we'd waited a little longer, Izzie's squad would have finished perfectly.

- Izzie-1, come in. Is he alive?

Lee let out a cough mixed with blood spurts. He barely answers, clinging to the Death Worm's back.

“So far.”

Lee Han really thought he might die. The Death Worm's mind is distracted from eating away the soldiers around him, and he ignores the strain on his back. When the boat comes back, I'll kill Lee Han.

Thief, Thief.

The skin of the Death Worm cracks open like a bitter ground. The cracking of the shell spread from head to tail. A change has occurred in the Death Worm's body.

- Get out of my way. Izzie-1! Step three.

The Death Worm hunches over the soldiers. Lee opened his eyes wide. I encountered the eyes inside the cracked shell.

‘There's another bug in the bug. ’

Inside the Death Worm is a newly formed body. The insect's eyes stared at Lee Han. Something jumps out of the Desert Worm's shell.

Farr!

Step 3: The Death Worm reveals itself. Two pairs of wings were crushed at high speed. The wet wings hardened with just a few moves. The Death Worm has been a pervert for more than 20 seconds. Like the snake's fault, the second-degree Death Worm becomes a transparent shell.

Lee was still attached to the back of the Death Worm in Phase 3. You missed your chance to escape. I can finally feel my limbs paralyzed by the explosion.

‘At this rate, I'll miss it. ’

Phase 3 Death Worm's maneuverability is untraceable as an infantry. Even before Arc's support comes, the Death Worm will do tremendous damage. Plus, if you lay eggs before you die, something terrible will happen.

‘Think.'

His blood pressure dropped a lot. The bleeding is severe. Your head is dull. He looks at the grappling gun on his back. Lee concentrated his mind and pressed the hook retrieval button with his mind. The widespread crossed hook turned into a thread.

Phew!

Yihan pulled out his hook. I looped the cable again to return it to its original state. The grappling gun is a device designed to be reused several times. It is heavy and sturdy because it is considered a Great Dragon War equipment. Durability is reliable.

- Get out of there.

You hear the comms shouting. Lee gave a certain amount of energy.

“Still no way--. ”

The Death Worm moves its wings vigorously before the answer is completed. It was like a giant dragonfly. The Death Worm's intention was to put an end to this in the air.

A psychic glare flowed from Lee Han's eyes. He thought it was cold and calm. Instead of excitement and embarrassment, I thought of what I could do now.

The Death Worm soars through the air with all its might. Lee Han's hair flew in the wind.

“Worms fit on the ground.... ”

Lee has made up his mind. Cutting the wings quickly regenerates them. Yihan fires a grappling gun close to the deathworm's side. The shocked Death Worm roars and scratches its back with its claws. Lee slowly avoided the claws as he rolled on his narrow back. He unplugs the cable and wraps two of his right wings around it.

Yuck!

The flapping wings have stopped moving. The right wing on which the cable is tied does not move properly.

“The key?”

The flying Death Worm crashes to the ground in a crash. It gains wings in Stage 3, but its body is lighter and weaker on the outside. You don't have strong legs, so your mobility is much lower on the ground. The Death Worm's ability to fight decreases drastically as soon as it falls to the ground.

“Kiei.”

The Death Worm knew it was all because of the human on his back. The wings are tied to the cable and cannot move. The human bends his claws at an odd angle to kill him.

“That won't work! ”

Knut sprints faster than anyone else. He grabs Lee's neck and pulls it out. Lee was stunned by the impact of the fall.

“Finish it!”

Knut pulls Lee out, and the attack continues everywhere. Soldiers who have seen the arrests have shot from afar. The ragged Death Worm's teeth tremble as it lands on the ground. You can regenerate with just food. But humans have the ability to learn. They know exactly how to kill the Death Worm. We must slowly dry them out.

“Get the oil barrel! ”

Soldiers push the barrel with their feet. The lid opens and the oil barrel rolls all the way to the Death Worm. The flame catches the Death Worm. Soldiers have not given the Death Worm the chance to adapt. They roll the oil barrels in succession to prevent the flames from extinguishing.

“Die, monster! ”

I burned it without leaving a single mark. The disgusting smell spread. A cruel frenzy flowed from the faces of the soldiers.

“Medic! Hurry! ”

Knut said to the comms. Lee was in serious condition. I was in a mess, but I was shocked when I fell. If it weren't for Enhanced Body, it would be dead. Lee barely breathed.

‘Damn, if only I could share my abilities…. ’

It is not possible to use the healing factor on others. I've already tested it several times in the lab. Knut waited desperately for the medical staff to arrive.

“Who is your commander? ”

Simon looked at the local soldiers and said, You have captured the Death Worm, although the sacrifice was substantial. They were drenched in joy before victory. But Simon's eyes were filled with anger, not joy.

After everything Izzie's squad has done, the Desworm has recovered to the local soldiers' post. Besides, they shot him without even knowing he was alive. Simon is as angry as he is.

“Shut up and come out. Who the fuck gave that order? ”

Bang!

Simon raises the charred oil barrel with his mind and throws it out. Local soldiers are pointing guns at Simon. A fierce struggle ensued. Simon and the local soldiers could have fought at any moment.

“Stop it. That's for later. You're yelling and yelling and your head's pounding. ”

Lee opened his eyes and said. My whole body aches like a wreck, but I was able to move. Boys with enhanced bodies can move if they don't die. In a way, it's a part of a psychoframe.

‘I can't believe I can move with this body. Even I was surprised.'

Lee Han mumbled and raised his upper body. I've never been so broken before. I was surprised that my body would move even in this situation.

‘More than I thought... we are strong. ’

Lee thought, wiggling each finger.

Despite Yihan's paper, Simon snorts.

“Those bastards shot at me! We don't even know if they're alive! What do you mean, we don't have enough missions? Friendlies? You guys are soldiers after all? ”

There was a rebuttal from the local military.

“Of course he's dead.... ”

“Do I look dead to you? Not only are there fewer black bastards, are there fewer heads? ”

Simon says with bloodshot eyes. You catch the Death Worm, but you feel tense.

“We won't tolerate this anymore. Warning, sicker. ”

Local soldiers have a gun on them.

Wee-ing.

Silence, who was watching, caught up with the local soldiers. The cold blade touched their necks.

- Warning, disengaged. Or die.

The message flashes from Silence's Helmetshield. It was an obvious threat. Simon wasn't the only one upset. Silence boils in fury as well.

‘I couldn't perform Striker at a critical moment…. That's why she almost died. ’

As soon as the local soldiers didn't even check that Lee was alive, Silence seemed to flip over. If the opposing Pokémon weren't human, they would have slit their throats long ago.

“What the hell are you doing! ”

Arc's soldiers intervene. They separated the local soldiers from Izzie's squad. They knew what was going on. It was a mistake of local soldiers. But that's not the end of the fight. The commanders have a problem to solve.

“Those bastards almost killed us all! ”

Simon said as if to protest. There was a complaint on the part of the local military. Simon's aggressive attitude brings anger, not apology. Local soldiers know their mistakes, of course. But Simon squashes his pride.

‘This is why children. ’

Arc's soldiers draw Simon back as if to calm him down.

“Lee Han, the party, is still like that.... Be nice. Simon.”

The soldiers of Arc who comforted Simon glanced at the wounded. Lee did not express emotions, just watched the situation quietly. Too calm for a boy who almost died just now. Though he did not complete 10 missions, his attitude was like a veteran soldier with the moon.

‘I learned a good thing. Unknown allied power can sometimes be negative, not positive. ’

Lee Hwan muttered while receiving treatment from the medical staff. He always realized that allies don't benefit from power, and sometimes unsure allies shouldn't.

The relationship between Izzie's squad and the local soldiers was at its worst. Izzie's squad had to withdraw, even if it wasn't for the treatment of injuries.

Whoo-hoo!

Arc reinforcements have arrived. Reinforcements that included psychoframe reinforcements. When more Death Worms appear, it is a power source for immediate suppression. They scour the bottom of the canyon.

“This Death Worm is a missing person from the war. We were unlucky to wait for 10 years of suspended animation. You're relentless. ”

Knut cuts the apple next to him and says, Transports for Izzie's squad arrive tomorrow. Izzie's squad received a restraining order. To avoid friction with local soldiers.

“I peeled too deep. ”

Lee accepted the apology and brushed Knut's swordsmanship. I scraped up the egg blind and had nothing to eat.

- Give it to me.

Silence took the knife and apple from Knute. I cut the apple peel with a cheerful poke. It was thin enough to look transparent in a fluorescent light. Silence shrugs his shoulders and slices the apple as if to tease Knut.

“What about Simon?"

Yihan, who chewed the apple, said.

“Furious in your tent. My junior year, the day I put it on the keypad at the competition, it was like that in the lodge. ”

Knut said as if it were no big deal.

- Personality deficiency.

Silence underestimated.

“But the mission is flawless. ”

Lee has done a generous evaluation of Simon. Silence seemed to agree with that. Even in this Deathworm battle, Simon was perfectly capable of his role without a mistake. If the supporter hadn't been Simon, the damage in Izzie's squad would have been much greater.

- I'm sorry, I dropped out fast.

Silence reflects deeply. Silence is considered to be the best fighter. The only disadvantage is that the combat persistence decreases. Blink itself consumes a lot of stamina and psychokinesis.

“It was all under consideration. ”

Lee had assumed that Silence was low in stamina and could not perform the striker. His ability was able to replace the role of Knut and Silence to some extent.

‘But Simon was an irreplaceable force. ’

Lee can't mimic Simon's abilities. Only a powerful sicker like Simon can assist his teammates using his mind-set for a long time. It is the most important role, even if it is not visible.

‘If it weren't for Simon again, I would have died twice. As expected….'

Lee thought he was right in selecting this squad member.

‘It's a perfect match for Simon. I've been thinking.'

I didn't have to give Simon my orders. If he thought he needed help, Simon was already putting it into practice. I've felt it every time in battle. My hands and feet match Simon perfectly.

"Ironic. I avoided being a squad member... I can't believe my hands and feet match my opponent best." ’

Lee scratched his head. My torso was bent and my ribs were shaking, and I was sore. I was about to burst into tears. The excitement of battle subsides, and my whole body aches. It hurt like hell just to move a little bit.

“Ugh.”

Lee Han leaned down for a while and didn't move. My whole body froze.

There won't be any bony joints on the body.

I didn't know if I was teasing or comforting. Lee took two more painkillers. My head was spinning because it was a poisonous medicine.

“Be careful what you do. Make sure Simon doesn't do anything wrong. I... need to sleep. ”

Lee could not help but lie down on the bed. Knut and Silence quietly step outside the tent. It means that if I show weakness, I'm really going to die.

“You don't look so good. ”

He said, feeling the look of Knut pouring out. The occasional local soldiers stared at Izzie's squad. Even though Izzie's squad was the main contender for victory today, they were not welcome. Local soldiers were the most affected. The dead don't leave even a body behind.

- Ignore it, it happens all the time.

Silence seems familiar. He has a different number of missions than other boys. This friction is nothing.

‘But I can't help but get angry. It sucks.'

I don't accept familiarity.

“Silence. Sometimes I think, are we monsters? ”

Knut looks at the people and says, Knut has a remarkable feature called the healing factor. But it is one of the detestable and inhuman traits.

Desworm regeneration and vitality are enormous, but they cause physiological disgust to anyone who sees them. The same is true of Knut's healing factor. A monster to be seen by ordinary people. Knut was already treated as a monster by the Pure Ones. The words were still embedded in the heart of Knut.

- Monsters and heroes are a paper difference. The difference is not innate in nature, but acquired behavior.

“What do you mean? ”

- Masked Radar. The protagonist was a creature born in an evil organization, but he became a hero in the fight for justice. That's what the main character said.

“You don't seem to know. ”

- I wasn't born a hero, I was a hero to act like one. No one was born a monster. You're a monster for acting like one.

Knut nods softly.

“Why didn't you just explain it to me? At least I don't think I'm a monster. ”

Silence nods. Silence knows the real monster. There was a time when even the old arc could not distinguish a superhuman from a monster. The earliest arc project paid a terrible price for its failure. You're only strong enough to raise another dragon.

Izzie's squad retreated the next day. Lee Han received intensive care in Arc's medical ward.

No further deadworms have been found in Africa. Once safety was confirmed, the dragon hazard exploration proceeded to the top of the line. At the Arc, we found plenty of room for dragon material. This excavation allowed for more weapons and additional psychoframe production.

“No matter how close we are to solidarity, it is estimated to be a minimum challenging season. ”

A report from the researchers. Several theories about dragon origins have been turned upside down. A new theory has emerged. ‘Dragons have existed since before the dawn of the living.’ But the only evidence was a fossil named 'Chronos.’

The head of the arc didn't pay much attention to such origins. After stopping the coming invasion, it is enough to study it thoroughly. Right now, it's important to study how to kill dragons, not who they are. The research team's careful report went into the trash in five minutes.
