Kill the Dragon

# 20 Returning

The Dragon War is over.

Peace be upon mankind. After a great sacrifice, mankind triumphed. Now I am free from the threat of the dragon. The third graders involved in the arc project became heroes. The warriors' names are etched into the memorial stone one by one.

“We did it. ”

Kuro smiles and says. Next to him was Lee Han. He nods. I had a light smile on my mouth.

“Hey, you're alive somehow. ”

Simon crashed, but survived. It's because I used my psychic abilities well while desperately enduring it. Your whole body is crushed, but it's important that you survive.

- Victory!

Silence still hasn't taken off his helmet. Even without seeing his face, I could feel that he was happy and didn't know what to do. Everyone in the arc heard the toast. Everyone drank alcohol even though they were underage. He also accepted executives who had to be taken seriously. These are the children who saved humanity. I don't know if it's just the booze.

‘We did it. ’

Lee looked at it again. I looked at people who were drinking excitedly and talking. The future of living and planning was a problem. Lee was going back to Korea for a while.

‘The future. ’

What to do next. Lee Han was a war hero, a hero who defeated Bahamut outside the atmosphere. Lee thought of a bear.

"How did we kill Bahamut? ’

Lee recalled the battle scene at that time. Lee planned to dig into his mouth. Silence has successfully entered the mouth of the Bahamut. I even remembered Bahamut suffering.

And then what? ’

Lee had a headache. Suddenly, the surroundings became dark. The people who were talking excitedly disappeared.

‘Bahamut bombed me. I got caught up in it. ’

After realizing something, Lee smiled. He swung his beer tightly.

‘Damn, it's a dream. ’

Until now, I have only seen hope for this. It was a happy future, a world where there was no strife and peace. But the happy dream world was shattered like a beer cup. The consciousness I had dreamed of came to life.

When I opened my eyes, the sky was blue. Lee blinked his eyes. The accident system has not been working properly yet. The dream I just had flew away like smoke.

‘Am I still alive? ’

Lee had stumbled upon his memory. I was still alive when I fought Bahamut. After that, I lost my memory. When I woke up, I lay down like this.

Uxin, Uxin.

Lee Han frowned in pain. My whole body was torn apart. He slowly raises his torso to examine his condition.

‘What a mess.’

Lee's psychoframe was ragged. The armor plate is broken, the skeleton and muscles are torn and torn.

“Hmm.”

Lee let out a groan as he stepped on his feet. Broken right leg. He took off the psychoframe by himself. It took me a long time to break the locks. My fingers tremble.

Sloppy, sloppy.

The right leg was completely twisted and shaken. Lee gripped his teeth tightly and twisted his legs.

Wood Duck!

I squeezed the leg bones together. Even the giddy poison can't survive without screaming. I felt cold sweat on her forehead. I was sweating like rain. Lee Han tore the corners of his clothes and made a simple bandage. You tie around the wound and splint the broken leg. He was so strong that he was able to move.

“Where am I? ”

Lee just had time to look around. The plants around me were unfamiliar. Plants with wide leaves grew high, like rainforests.

‘The handset doesn't work. Psychoframes are big.’

Among the psychoframe's weapons, there was only a dagger that Lee could use. The rest was large and unavailable.

‘What happened to me. ’

Lee thought of a bear. His calm shines. Even in unfamiliar environments, there was little fluctuation. Lee was caught in a psychic core explosion. Even space-time was a tremendous force that distorted.

‘Let's prioritize. ’

Lee took a breath and organized his thoughts. The problem we face is recovery, not returning home. The first step is to get your body feeling normal. So you can search and combat.

‘If I wander around in chaos for no reason in the present situation, the risk is greater than the gain. ’

Lee Han moved around the psychoframe.

‘Hideout for now. ’

During Arc's training, there were survivors, and Lee learned survival skills from Laocha as well. I am familiar with the manual for surviving in strange environments.

Stab!

Lee looked through the bush as he winked. A worm larger than his fist leaps out violently.

Bloop.

Lee looked at the crustacean worm dazed with cold sweat. Seeing this, it looked like an alien. What is that? "

It doesn't look like life on Earth to me. ’

Lee had put aside such questions. I was eager to cut down the trees and build a hideout. It took me half a day to build a simple hideout. The leaves around the trees were wide and large, making it easy to disguise. Lee put the psychoframe and the body in a barely built hideout.

Fluffy.

Lee gathered the dry branches and leaves in one place. The climate is hot and humid, so it took me a long time to get some firewood.

Lightning.

Lee had dismantled the left glove of the psychoframe. The armour plate falls off, but it remains roughly fixed with a rope. Lee was going to light a fire with lighting.

“Huh?"

Lightning did not work Lee Han tilted his head. He used his psychic powers just in case.

'I can't use psychic abilities. ’

The psychic glare leaked from Lee Han's pupil. No psychic ability was expressed. There was a slight tingling of anxiety and agitation. Strange environment, pressure to stay alone. Even the psychic ability is unstable.

“This is a big deal. ”

Lee smiled bitterly. He figured out how to start a fire right away.

‘Will this do? ’

Lee had disconnected the hook cable device that was hanging underneath the psychoframe arm. Open the lid and place the flashlight on top of the cable.

Phishing!

The hook cable is lodged in a far away tree. The cable loosened sharply, resulting in friction heating. The heat ignited the flaming torch. Lee hurriedly dug the fire into the wood. The wind blows a few times and a fire rises.

“Ha.”

Lee sat down sighing. It was pathetic how he looked. He stares at the blazing campfire.

‘What happened? ’

I suddenly thought it might be Earth.

‘I took care of Bahamut. I'm sure of it.’

It was fortunate to be unhappy. The worst enemy, the dragon. Among them, I killed Bahamut, presumed to be the leader. After all, the war is over. All that's left is to get rid of the minions. Lee thought so.

Glug-ug-ub.

Lee was hungry. Strengthened body should eat high-calorie foods. Hunger comes faster than normal people, and the pain of hunger is greater. If you cannot eat food because your body metabolism is active, the muscles and fat in your body will disappear quickly.

“I'm sorry, but there's no emergency food. ”

Psychoframe has no survival gear. Lee slept through hunger, touching his stomach.

The next day, Lee Han expanded his radius of action. On the big leaf there was water that was embarrassing to say it was dew. Lee drank it and wiped his mouth.

“Can I eat it? ”

Lee found an unknown fruit. It was the first fruit I had ever seen in my life. I only remembered it with my eyes for a while. He went a little further.

The tree gradually faded. It was proof that the forest was ending. Lee Han sped up with an uncomfortable leg. The sunlight that was breaking through the leaves was intense.

Whew.

After escaping the forest, Lee reached out and covered up the sun. I saw this dazzling meadow.

Fluffy.

Lee sat down. His pupils bulged as if bursting. I saw an unbelievable sight before my eyes. A swarm of herbivores protruding from their backs are grazing the grass. The dragons flap their wings in the sky, and a dinosaur that is taller than Lee's waist sprints quickly. After looking at this, he tilts his head a few times.

“Ha.”

A laughter emerges, extinct dinosaurs long ago. Lee Han's trained brain made a judgment even at this moment. There were two hypotheses.

‘It's a different world, or... I've come in the past. ’

A few days later, Lee observed the fruits eaten by herbivores. Later, I gathered the fruits and tried them one by one. I selected what I could eat and what I could not eat in that way. In the last few days, Lee was a little thin. I lost my muscle first because I had less caloric intake.

Tak. Tak.

Lee ran into the ground with his broken leg. Even if I did, I wouldn't be able to move. Instead of lightening the density of the bones that were high density, the exhausted calcium was broken bones like adhesive. The bones snap fast like reinforcements.

‘Psychics are still unavailable. ’

My head was clear with enough sleep. But I was unable to use psychic abilities. I didn't feel psychic at all. Having been unable to use psychic kicks as naturally as my hands and feet, I felt refreshed.

‘You have a lot of reliance. ’

Even the slightest move was handed to me. Lee Han's hideout took on its own shape. Lee Han extended his radius of action around the hideout. I haven't met any predatory dinosaurs yet.

‘It's the same or similar environment as the dinosaurs lived in, I don't know. ’

Lee Han specializes in the knowledge of the current era and dinosaurs. I just acted as carefully as I could.

‘What do dragons have to do with dinosaurs? ’

Dragons certainly look like dinosaurs. But its ability and intelligence are incomparable. Dragons like Bahamut had the same or greater intelligence as humans. Communication is possible.

‘I got caught up in some kind of gate. ’

The only way back is through the same gate. I came to the conclusion.

“It's dark.”

Lee Han said out loud. Lee's psychic abilities are gone now. Moreover, it is unlikely that I will encounter a psychic in such a strange environment, and I did not even get a hint that I will return through the gate.

‘There is no plan. ’

The goal faced is survival. After that is the return. Lee can make a plan for his own survival. But return is not a matter of magnetism. External assistance is desperate.

Lee Han doesn't know how long it will take to get home. He was neither desperate nor excited. I cleared my mind quietly.

‘No matter how long it takes...’

He puts the firewood in the campfire.

‘… I'm going back. ’

The spark reflected into Lee's eyes.

Lee found out a week later that dinosaur meat tasted like chicken.
