Kill the Dragon

00086 # 14 Oracle

A golden dragon appeared. The dragon chews through the minions. Blood spills out through your teeth. The reptile's eyes gaze around you. He was small. It was smaller than the last dragon in the war. The pressure was much lower than that of Bahamut.

People swept their hearts away from the fact that it wasn't Bahamut.

“Mwah!”

The dragon roars out of the dimensional gate.

- Blue team, we're on.

Command issued. Blue Squad of Four First Generation reinforcements is on the move. Among them was Sergeant Red. They jumped over buildings and buildings using jump packs.

“It's Bress!”

Like a dragon swallowing its breath, it collects psychic energy in its mouth. A psychic ray called dragon breeze, or shattered rays. If it is authentic, it cannot withstand the psychoframe durability.

Kuaaaa!

The Blue Squad has split up. They are experienced dragon subjugators. The dragon's behavior patterns are familiar.

‘It ends with our line. ’

Incoming call and command have come and gone. They moved according to their roles. Airbeats rise from around the dragon. The airbeats freeze as if they were fixed with mind-blowing power.

Uahhhhhh!

Sergeant Red shoots a grappling gun. A grappling gun is lodged in the dragon's body. The scales of the dragon with hooks falter. Dragons are two-dimensional. The psychic shields they were wearing were different from the usual ones.

‘It's like cutting through a water shadow. Even if it looks right, it doesn't do any damage. ’

The hook in the dragon's body will soon fall on its own. Before that, I approached him using a cable. You step on the airbeat and accelerate with the jump pack.

‘Wings first.'

Dragons can't fly if they lose their wings. Dragons don't actually fly with their wings. It's just flying with psychic ability.

‘But if you lose your wings, you lose your ability to fly. ’

Researchers say it's a manifestation of the mind. The dragon guesses it flies because it feels like it flies because of its wings. Feeling and imagination are key to psychic ability.

“Hurry!”

Instead of being small, the dragon moves quickly. The dragon soars high as if it had escaped the besiege of reinforcements.

Goooooooo!

A red glare flashes from Sergeant Red's helmet. He focused enough to burst his nose.

Glug-ug-ug!

A spark appeared on the face of the dragon. It was Sergeant Red's ability to fire. The dragon roars and shakes its head. The Psychic Flame takes away the dragon's sight and stops its movement.

‘Damn, you're old. ’

Sergeant Red has gone rogue. The other squads soar on the back of the dragon. Each of them pulls out his weapon. Dragon Warfare is divided into two phases: Air wars before wings are cut off, ground wars after wings are cut off.

‘The others boarded safely. Prepare for ground war…. ’

Pa-jik.

The dragon's body flashes. The scale was originally golden in color, but the area around it glowed more yellow.

- Shhh...

The dragon emits an electric current. Two reinforcements on the back of the dragon scream. The current seeps into the crack in the suit like a snake. We've lost all communication with the screaming.

“That kind of ability... is ridiculous. ”

There have been no current dragons so far. The dragon's attack patterns were relatively simple, consisting of grenade warfare and breasts, and psychoframes caught few casualties since the battle. At that time, dragons didn't have the current attack pattern they do now.

The reinforcements who are hit by the current tremble. One of them gets up close.

“Cut off your wings! ”

Sergeant Red shouts. I couldn't reach that voice, but I knew what to do without the reinforcements talking.

‘Crop your wings. ’

The reinforcer swings his sword at a concentration close to unconsciousness. You tear one wing apart, like you did your last.

“Kuoooooo!”

The dragon tumbles to the ground. You hear a distortion of reinforcements hanging from your back. Red sergeant rushes in before the dragon can even take over. He's tired of using a big Psychic Flame before.

Cough, cough.

You hear a warp in the dragon's skeleton. The limbs of a dragon that have lost its wings are widened. The whole body was agile, as if it fit before the ground.

‘The dragons have been updated. ’

Sergeant Red sensed that the dragon that appeared was clearly different. He draws his sword and lunges. I spilled all the remaining fuel from the jump pack and made a quick move.

Gaaaah!

The dragon lifts its front foot and attacks Sergeant Red. Sergeant Red spreads an airbeat in front of him and jumps over it one more time.

Qajik!

Sergeant Red rolls around with something. What hit him was the wreckage of the collapsed building.

“Meow!”

The dragon howls. Psychic currents rise. The debris floats around you, and you bump into Sergeant Red in unison.

‘Brainstorming…. ’

Red corporal's psychoframe shell has collapsed. Blood spills from deep distortions.

"Existing tactics don't work. There is a significant difference in attack systems and abilities. It's like a new species. '

Sergeant Red thought. There was little pain due to the use of preeclampsia. There are still two reinforcements, including Red. After entering the ground war, winning is still enough for one generation. The veterans are not so pleasant.

- Jihan, we're on.

You hear a transmission. Sergeant Red doubts his ears. A second generation of psychoframes that have not yet been tested.

‘The command will know that the dragon that appeared is close to the new species. It's already starting to reach inputs. ’

As Red Lt. Gen. thought, the command was going to watch the situation a little longer and then decide what to put in. I was relaxed because I went to ground war. It was wise to send a second generation after discovering more of the dragon's new abilities. It is difficult for a second generation reinforcer to suffer an unexpected pattern, such as a current attack. Even if there is a first-generation reinforcement sacrifice, it is right to endure it here.

“You gonna let Red die? ”

It was Oracle's threat that changed the Command's decision. Sergeant Red is the last strap left to Oracle. Once the fate of Red disappears, she really has no reason to stay. That came under great pressure to the command.

The command decided to put this on the line immediately. No one knows if it's the right choice. It is the right decision to capture a dragon with the smallest sacrifice, and it is the worst decision to make when the sacrifice is made through a swift and arduous force.

Oracle grabs the communicator and connects it to the trailer that Ihan and Okto are waiting for. Lee has already finished installing the psychoframe.

'What am I doing now? Just like the soldiers I despised.'

Oracle grips the communicator and trembles. Her face was agitated. Red might die right now. But she tries to leave the burden to the little boy.

My heart was numb. It's a decision made by a lot of people. It's cruel, but you can't win the war unless you use their power.

Finally, Oracle speaks with teary eyes.

- Save Red.

Lee Han listened to the communication and nodded his head. It was Oracle's desperate voice.

“Go, Hahn. I'm ready.”

Okto examined the psychoframe until the end. He shoves a combat stimulant in the back of his head.

Lee's orders have been dropped. Lee put everything in his head so far through the brokerage screen. As the trailer opens, you see a burning fly.

Tiric.

All sorts of information have been breached from the helmet shield. Lee Han purged the information sequentially.

‘A dragon unlike any other. ’

Lee ran out, and the psychoframe sprinted. You see soldiers engaged in a war with the minions. There were soldiers dying right away. Lee had bitten his lip.

‘If I leave now, I can save them. But….'

Save the soldiers in front of you, but if you don't kill the dragon, it's all over. Lee coldly ignored the surroundings and ran out.

Minions have failed to pursue the maneuverability of the psychoframe in the city. The nearby troops have secured the minions from approaching Yihan. Yihan approached the dragon without being disturbed by anyone.

Kuaaaa!

The dragon opens its mouth. The rays of destruction sweep away where it once was.

‘If you get hit, you die. ’

Lee remembered how dangerous he was. If you have a psychoframe problem like you did during the test, Lee will die.

- We'll be the bait.

Red sent word to Yihan. Lee saw the condition of the remaining 1st generation reinforcements. Sergeant Red has been de-motivated by a prosthetic limb. That's why Red, the original striker, was in the back. The other one is also a supportive biker.

‘It is unlikely that you will survive as bait. ’

Sergeant Red was determined to create a situation where Lee could safely take out the crystal. Even if there were inevitable sacrifices, it was for the best.

“It'll only take one. Block his sight like before. ”

Lee learned how to work the hook again. His fingers moved according to certain rules.

‘Generation 2 is highly responsive. It can counteract the movements of new dragons. If it's not broken... I can dig in and kill it. ’

- Is that enough?

Red said.

“Let's avoid…. ”

Lee opened his eyes narrowly. The dragon sticks its arm and leg in the ground and opens its mouth wide. Psychic airflow is rocking. The dust rises and the reinforcements are trapped there.

Whoo-hoo!

Lee Han bowed his upper body. It seemed like he would be sucked into the airflow.

Everything was sucked into the dragon's mouth. The dragon spits out its psychic energy into the acronym, not in a straight line. Energy clumps stretched for many kilometers, drawing a wide range of acrobatics. Several meters of explosion occurred at a point where energy was dropped. Soldiers in combat are annihilated by units.

“… we need to get started. ”

Lee looked back. Among those fighting on the battlefield, many third-graders are mixed. The slower the dragon slaughter, the less likely friends are to survive.

- Premature.

The psychic storm that swept the area was over. The raging dust settles. Sergeant Red's answer is too late. Lee looked at the reinforcements.

“Sergeant?"

Lee ran before the dust completely sank. It is a rule not to enter unless you have clear vision, but if you don't, Sergeant Red will die.

Sergeant Red barely regained consciousness. I lift my head, twitching my fingers.

“Grrrrrrrr!”

The dragon tried to swallow Sergeant Red as it reached out its jaws.

“Damn lizard bastard! ”

Sergeant Red rises up, shouting. You stir up a dust wind with your mind. I hid the dragon's sight for a moment.

“Blue-2!”

Sergeant Red paged the rest of the reinforcements. There are no answers. Sergeant Red stands up and looks around. You see blue-2 corpse, squad member with his head cut off. Blue-2 was already eaten by dragons. If you're unlucky, Sergeant Red was eaten first.

Kieing!

Lee ran fiercely. His lips were burning.

‘I feel like walking on the wire. ’

Lee was all over the place. I felt like I would slip every step of the way. When I enter a combat situation, I feel like the psychoframe is running wild. The psychic responsiveness makes every small movement overwhelming. It is a prototype that cannot be used unless it has excellent psychic control.
