Kill the Dragon

00122 # 19 Judgment Day

Yihan captured the other reinforcements and the dragons one by one. There was mental fatigue. His PP readings fluctuated. Lee had remained extremely focused throughout the battle. I saw and judged the details and the whole at the same time.

Knuckle.

Lee bit his molar firmly. I felt like my head was going to explode.

-Alpha-1, take a break.

Jose sent a radio. He quickly notices that his PP level is unstable. As a squad leader, there was an eye to see the whole in this situation.

- Shit, he's dead.

- Fuckers.

Swearing went back and forth between communications. The reinforcements fall one by one. The reinforcements who have been doing well so far also meant that their concentration had reached its limit.

‘If we do this, we will be beaten. ’

Lee took a deep breath and looked at the dragon horde. The power is overwhelming now.

- We need to call for backup.

Several squadron captains have called for the remaining reinforcements to deploy at the command post.

‘Patience in gambling or domination right now. ’

Lee thought about it. However, there was no need to wait for Lee's judgment. More than a majority of the squad leaders agreed to the request for backup. Command has decided to launch a third assault squad.

Bang, bang! Bang!

The reinforcements just moved as if they were waiting. Unlike the exhausted reinforcements, the reinforcements rushed headlong into battle against two kinds of dragons. All of a sudden, the battlefield leans toward the reinforcements.

- Push it!

Nervous reinforcements pushed the pace even further. They were also feeling disadvantageous if they dragged time. When you gain strength, you must slay the dragons.

There was no psychoframe with no blood on it. Without time to wash away the thick blood, the reinforcements fought and fought again. I barely wipe the blood from my weapon and move on. Like the beginning of the battle, there was no movement or maneuverability. You take a step forward, like a knight in heavy steel armor.

They're just teenagers. A belief injected close to brainwashing is a source of their mental strength. The great sense of responsibility, the pride of being a hero, that if they are defeated, the human race will end. Training and education that will transcend even death. That's why there was no boy running away from death.

‘Please end this. ’

By stopping the Second wave, the reinforcements cut off the dragons' breaths one by one. Over a hundred dragon corpses cover the meadow. It was unrealistic. The reinforcements stood on a mountain of dragon corpses.

‘The gate is getting bigger. ’

Lee looked at the dimensional gates. Instead of getting smaller, it got bigger. Despite the absence of an Elu Maze or dragon to hold the gate, the gate does not get smaller. Different from the gate so far.

‘It's still there. ’

Lee quickly realized that it wasn't over yet. Heavy despair sank deep into my heart.

- What else is coming out?

Even the reinforcements knew the battle was not over. They stare at the vacant gate. In the distance, you hear the sound of battle between the minions and the soldiers. The air is hot with explosions and flames, making it hard to breathe. If it wasn't for the filter on the helmet, it would have suffocated.

[Co... liver.]

You hear a scratching iron plate. The reinforcements stumble around your head. Lee remembers this feeling.

‘Bahamut.’

A black dragon called Bahamut. It was the dragon's voice.

- What's going on? Whose voice?

- It's not communication.

The voice that pierced directly into the brain was not a physical method. Telepathy is transmitted directly to the brain like a voice. The reinforcements who don't know it are in chaos.

“The voice of the dragon. Calm down."

Lee said, but the reinforcements are more excited than they are to calm down.

- A dragon?

- So it's true.

- How?

The gate expands rapidly. The rainbow glow seemed to be blinding when faced with it. A dimensional crevice held out its head several times larger than any other dragon. The yellow eyes stare at the reinforcements.

Goooooooooo!

The Psychic Airflow is raging.

- Bahamut?

- The Bahamut?

The great black dragon, Bahamut.

“A 97% match or better. Bahamut.”

Command has concluded. Bahamut has resurfaced.

Bahamut lost an eye to Lee. The hollow eyeholes are tightly closed. You take a relaxing step toward the gate, revealing your majesty. The wings fluttered lightly and made the air rich.

Flutter!

With no one to stop him, Bahamut soars into the sky. I jumped higher and higher. Upon arriving in the heat, the area around Bahamut's body heats up. But without stopping, I cut through the air and climbed out of the atmosphere.

Bahamut has arrived at an oxygen deficient space. The continent looked small, and the stars in the universe floated, not in the blue sky above. Wahoo, the body of Bahamut was filled with psychic energy.

[Destroy them. You little bastards.]

Black Dragon Bahamut. He is the Black Hive, the curse of dragons. The Black were the strongest and most cunning.

Kiuoo!

Bahamut opens his mouth. Psychic energy is gathering in your mouth. There's been a tremendous surge after a minute. It was unbelievable to scatter rays of destruction here, about 1,000 kilometers from the ground. The Arc has never assumed such a situation.

F-Jung!

Through the clouds, rays of destruction drop to the ground. Ignoring all the laws of physics and falling into a straight line, the rays of destruction caused a huge explosion.

Kuku ku ku kung fu!

The ground is decaying like an earthquake. A devastating psychic ray shatters the earth. Minions and soldiers... all caught in a flash. The air gathered as compressed, followed by a series of afterstorms. Even the giants who kept their positions for centuries were pulled out in a storm.

“External, sensor, extinction. ”

The operator said, pouting. Command has lost his eyes and ears. I couldn't see the whole thing. All we can see from the satellite is smoke and dust. A tactical warhead just exploded.

‘Is this really Bahamut? ’

So far, they've been different from dragons. Even Bahamut, who only had his head in his mouth, had lost the first generation. Bahamut's full disclosure of the body was a natural disaster.

‘Is there any way we can hit the Bahamut outside the atmosphere? ’

Even Chief of Staff Alexander looks dejected. There's no way a missile attack can work. We need to get the sicker out of the atmosphere.

‘Were the reinforcements alive before that? ’

I haven't heard from the reinforcements on the ground. In the worst case, extinction. That's what just exploded.

Bahamut flaps his wings. You attract Psychic Energy as you prepare for your next attack.

“What about the transport, or Black Crow? ”

Command is an emergency. We can't do anything with the transports. Black Crow is the only one who can climb beyond the atmosphere.

“Black Crow has one more term left. The line is now open.”

“Tell them to get down to the ground. If he's alive... that's the only way. ”

The meadow that the Bahamut rays destroyed has turned into a wasteland. The ground is turned upside down. The reinforcements have fallen in the center.

- Kuro!

Most of the reinforcements survived. It was a miracle.

- His heart stopped.

- Initiate emergency treatment!

It was Kuro who rescued the reinforcements. Only Kuro has the ability to neutralize Bahamut's rays of destruction. Kuro opens up his limits to protect everyone. As a result, his heart stopped.

Kuro's eyes blur without focus. The reinforcements around you snap off Kuro's armor plates. The stimulant was injected deep into the heart.

I saw all the reinforcements. Kuro faced the rays of destruction and frontally blocked the rays of destruction with abilities similar to the psychic shield. Evidence suggests there was less damage in the area. Kuro absorbed the shock instead.

- One, two, three.

Parker!

Kuro's body rots in shock.

- Heart's beating again!

Kuro spits blood and spills his eyes out. He was unconscious, but he was insane. It takes time for normal brain function to return to normal brain function due to overload of the brain.

‘That way.'

Lee looked up at the sky. The Pokémon unleashes an attack where Bahamut can't be seen. We've lost communication with the arc again. There's nothing the reinforcements can do now.

This is Black Crow, come in.

Black Crow has sent word. The radio waves have been amplified through BlackCrow's relay. A line between the reinforcements and the command post is opened. Alexander exclaims urgently.

- No time. The observed psychic wave analysis shows an estimated 20 minutes until the next attack. We have to get up there and hit the fighter. ‘Hahn.’

Chief of Staff Alexander picked Yihan up and said, Not all third graders have outstanding combat skills. There are many who fight better. However, he has the coldness to control variables and move ideas into immediate action.

- Yes, sir.

Lee has often understood the implications.

- Theoretically, even outside the atmosphere, psychoframes can be active for about 10 minutes. Systemic emissions of Psychic Energy at regular intervals are blocked externally through a similar Psychic Shield. The air inside the psychoframe will only last 10 minutes.

- Theoretical means... unknown.

- That's the only way. Get seven reinforcements and bring them to Black Crow.

You can carry up to 12 of them, right?

Lee Hahn speaks, fearfully Black Crow's hatch opened. There were four Sakeman psychoframe reinforcements.

Unfortunately, we have to come out and save the world. Haha.

Omega-1 said with a nasty smile. There's already an Omega team on board in Black Crow. They were the fourth brigade that Arc saved.

- Hmph. Detailed operations... I'll leave the contingency plan to you.

- No problem.

Lee responded decisively as if the other boys had asked him to listen. It sounded like there was a plan.

‘There is no operation yet. I don't even know what's going on up there. But there's no one else who can. ’

Lee looked at Silence and some familiar ones. They were ranked in order of power and PP. I mainly borrowed a lot of supporters. Simon was also stuck in the gap.

- As the Chief of Staff said, there's no time. And you may never come back.

Lee already understood. Alexander did not speak directly, but he understood enough. Orders and operations have not precluded resurrection. I didn't want to borrow and attract my closest friends.

‘But Silence or Simon's ability is essential. You can't take it away. ’

Lee left Knut on the ground. The features of Knut are not helpful here. He coldly recruited members to form the team with the highest probability of success.

- Funny, isn't it, Alpha One?

- It's not funny, Omega.

Omega-1 shrugs. He smiled at the ironic situation he is in now.

- I never thought I'd be in charge of something so important. You mean the situation isn't convenient. But I don't want to die either. For now, let's think head-to-head. Alpha-1.

Omega realizes that there is no such thing as a plan. Even a genius doesn't know the situation above, but he can't devise a plan. Moreover, there was no practice in zero-gravity combat outside the atmosphere.
