Kill the Dragon

Kuro, standing in the cave, raises his gun. The posture was not clumsy. A marksmanship learned through countless repetitive exercises. He looked at Grunt.

“You can't resist. ”

Kuro raises his pistol and Grunt flinches. Grunt's eyes widen and closed like a frog.

“Karr.”

Grunt lets out a boiling sound of blood. You struggle to survive, but your restrained limbs do not move. Death is at hand.

Grunts are simple creatures. I live my life loyally to my destructive instincts every day. There are no moral ethics or rules to their actions. It is because it is a simple beast without reason.

“I'm gonna kill you. ”

Kuro mutters. His brain reminds me of the corpses of the people of Ussau. The grunts killed the villagers.

‘If I don't kill the minions, my friends and others... will.' ’

Kuro covers his eyes. I slowly raised my pupil and aimed at Grunt. Grunt's enormous gaze was as pure as that of violence.

“Sorry. I'm going to kill you all. ”

Click.

Kuro pulls the trigger. The bullet pierces Grunt's head. Grunt doesn't die on one foot.

Voodoo.

Kuro pours a magazine on Grunt's head. Grunt's head grows ragged. The bribe drains dry.

“This is my decision. ”

Kuro said while resisting vomiting. I did it with my own hands. Murder is not the first time. Previous murders have always been committed in the midst of chaos. It was far from voluntary. For the first time, Kuro faces the target with a calm mind and has a vivid sense of life deprivation.

Kuro has escaped the cave. The squad members who were waiting stand up one by one.

“Well done.”

Lee said, picking up his helmet. Kuro's blood is on his hands. I decided to enter the battlefield by my own choice, not by chance.

‘I've chosen my place. ’

Kuro decides to live next to his allies. I have no regrets. No matter how many flames of life we put out in the future, even if the target is a human... Kuro has decided to move on.

‘I will surely step back and tremble in fear a few times in the future…. ’

When a weak heart falls and falls, it is enough to stand up again.

Zach examines the subtle atmosphere of Izzie's squad.

‘Are these the 2nd generation? ’

Definitely something different. Humanity is alive. It doesn't feel artificially modified to be a human weapon. A naturally matured ‘human’. The arc doesn't just inject combat skills. I carefully tuned and calibrated humanity to prevent it from collapsing during the training.

“We'll meet them soon enough. Check the equipment and ammunition. ”

Lee told me that the squad members checked their equipment and delivered that everything was fine. They followed the grunts into the woods. The rough terrain became more and more gentle. The pace of Izzie's troops is that fast. Maintained the pace at which the adults ran.

“Zach. How are you feeling? ”

Izzie's squad lowers. At the edge of the forest, the grunts were resting. Grunts, equipped with primitive armor, sat down exhausted.

“No problem.”

“I need reconnaissance. Enemy numbers and armed status. And the leader of the herd. ”

Zach nods. He takes a deep breath and receives a radio. His body became more and more transparent. It was not a trick through the use of clumsy optics. It became transparent as if the body really did not exist. It is completely transparent, completely indistinguishable to the eye.

Bloop.

Zach takes off his shoes and walks out slowly.

‘I'll kill you all. You bastards.’

Zach utters a profanity in his heart. The people of Wustou died without even resisting. They were civilians, not soldiers. The war against the dragon army is not the same as before. It's not just a conflict of desire. If humans are defeated, the existence of the species itself is dangerous. In front of the dragon army, the difference between civilians and soldiers is meaningless.

‘But I can't put myself in a group that does that. ’

What Zach came out of the arc was a conflict of personal values. Even if there was a cause, there was an acceptable category. Jacques' values have made it unacceptable. So he came out of the arc.

‘Maybe I'm irresponsible. Someone has to get their hands dirty. They didn't do it because they're villains. ’

Zach wanted to get out of his misery. So I ran away from everything. I settled in a village far from the world.

‘Or I just didn't have the courage to get my hands dirty. The courage to become a villain... ’

Upon encounter with the arc boys, Zach continued to feel uneasy. I didn't know what was right or wrong.

‘The world is crazy now. ’

Zach looks at the grunts with bitter eyes. He counted the grunts.

‘17 grunts. Even if Izzie's squad's combat strength is average, this number is not difficult to deal with. ’

It's not a problem for an equipped psychic.

Where's the commander? ’

Zach rolls his eyes around. If the leader of the herd is Elu Meiji, we must remove him immediately. Elu Meiji is sensitive to psychics. Even if you have made it transparent, it will soon be a challenge.

Why is it invisible? It's gotta be around here somewhere. ’

Zach is gradually nervous. I don't see the leader of the herd. Grunts are inherently destructive beasts. We do not do this organized action without an intelligent colonel.

- Zach, time has passed.

Lee Han sent a communication. Zach decides to go a little deeper. One of the grunts flinches.

Are you blushing? ’

A poisonous grunt had red eyes. It wasn't red because the blood stood on its feet.

‘Psychic eyewear. ’

In Grunt's eyes, the psychic glare glowed red. Zach's mind got complicated.

You're using a psychic? That can't be right. You can't have that kind of intelligence. Mutants?

Zach hurries to join Izzie's squad. You look at the red eyes as if Grunt had found Zach.

Woohoo.

Grunt with red eyes suddenly settles down. After a while, Grunt looks around, ignorant of the English language. The glowing red psychic glare disappeared.

Ku-ung!

A red psychic energy rushes from Grunt's body. It was like a ghost. The red psychic whirls like a wave. The red psychic pierces Jacques through his body.

“Huff!”

Zach groans and covers his head. I squeezed my hair and moaned.

‘Something is pouring into my head. ’

Jacques' transparency is already solved. The grunts around you only watch over Zach.

Gooooo!

Zach's eyes changed. A red glare spills out of your pupil. Zach gives you a nasty smile.

“Waruza.”

Zach throws down his communicator and says, It wasn't the Earth's language. He grabbed the knife. You tilt your head a few times and then move your body. The body quickly became accustomed.

Zach was no longer Zach. The red psychic ghost swallows Jacques up.

Woohoo.

I even used Zach's psychic features. Zach's body becomes transparent. Zach's ego has already sank deep. The ghost has completely taken over Zach's body.

“We've lost communication with Zach. ”

Lee said, you only hear noise on the line connected to Zach. The squad members looked at this.

‘You have to decide. Engage now or watch more. ’

We know most of the enemy's power, but the uncertain factor may change the situation. Fighting involuntarily without knowing the enemy commander will result in the loss of the squad members. Lee Han prioritizes perfect combat without damage. Winning without sacrifices is just a suboption.

“Knut, Silence. Go in. Target secure Jax. Then set the course of action. Kuro and I will back you up. ”

Knut and Silence leap forward. Knut and Silence are skilled at taking care of themselves under any circumstances.

“Wajah! Wajah! Waaah!”

The grunts grind their teeth and draw their weapons. Silence swiftly draws his knife and slashes Grunt's head.

Crack!

Silence slits their throats before they even stand up.

“Zach!"

Knut leaves his back to Silence and goes deeper. He chants Zach's name.

“Shit, he's dead. ”

Thung!

Knut shoots a shotgun at Grunt's head. A shotgun with a short range and two shots is useful against grunts.

“Where is the commander? ”

Knut mutters, trampling on Grunt's corpse. If Jacques was attacked, it would be the work of an unknown commander. Knut, with the healing factor, was going to contact the commander first to teach the squad the information.

Woof.

Knute's psychic senses become sensitive. Something moves nearby. I can't see it, but I sense it in my gut.

Whitrick.

Knut looks around. At that moment, a red wound emerges from Knut's neck and blood spills out.

“Knng!”

Knut backs away, wrapped around his neck.

Zach?

Knut can't speak. Jacques, with the knife, looks at Knut. It was a red eye with a lot of flesh on it. Knut's blood spills from Zach's knife.

Bang.

Knut raises his shotgun without hesitation. The situation was unclear, but it was clear that Zach was the enemy. I can't help myself. In practice, Knut doesn't have that kind of relaxation.

Ta-ang!

Zach twists to the side. The shotgun sweeps Jacques' left arm. My left arm is sagging. Zach approaches Knute and swings his knife as if he didn't feel any pain.

Knut has been torn apart by a knife and has become a mess. The knife opened its eyes and it was dark in front of me.

‘Recover from neck first. ’

Knut collapses on purpose. Zach doesn't know that Knut's ability is a healing factor. Lee did not give Zach all the information about the squad members.

“Kagia-e Varudo. ”

Zach looks down and says, "Knut." Knut buries his face on the ground. As soon as his neck recovered, he said to the communicator.

“Zach is the enemy now. Again, Jacques has turned into an enemy for some reason. ”

Knut rises slowly. A green glow emanates from the cracked eye. His body has recovered.

“Heroes.”

Zach shakes his head to the left and to the right, surprised to see Knut.

“I don't know what it is, but let's start World War II. Zach.”

Knut disarms the clumsy equipment. One by one, the equipment fell to the floor. He throws his helmet off and grabs the dragon's spear.

“Rin, these things only weigh on me. ”

Father.

Knut swings his spear. Jacques and Knut charge. Knut stabs you with a dazzling move. Zach is in a hurry to stop him with a short knife. You can't use your left hand, so you don't even have time to pull out your pistol.

‘I stab him in the arm and leg, making him incapacitated. ’

The reinforced flesh and healing factor of Knut is close to invincible in melee combat. Regeneration speed is much faster than before, and I am good at using it to control regeneration speed by body.

Phew!

Knut stabs Zach in the thigh. Bones and muscles caught at the end of the spear.

‘I can't help but be crippled. It's better than dying. ’

Knut knew that Zach was insane. Something must have gotten to you.

“I'll buy you a nice wheelchair later! ”

Scab!

Zach's legs are severely broken. The slashed thighs in the window show bones and muscles. Zach settles down, motionless.

“I subdued Zach. ”

Knut said to the comms. Zach moves more vigorously than I expected, causing deep wounds. I felt like my body was swifter and stronger because of the ghosts.

‘We need to get her sane and medicated quickly. The wound is deep.’
