Kill the Dragon

[Human.]

Silver dragon said, a sharp slaughter has seeped into the dragon's eyes.

‘Maybe it was the wrong choice. ’

Lee closed his eyes tightly and opened them. My hands were on the spear as I danced on my back. I know it's pointless rebellion, but I can't die of starvation.

[Do you understand me? I won't kill you.]

Silver dragons, unlike horses, spat out a lot of flesh. He wakes up. Lee Han's pupils were trembling.

‘You're going to kill me. ’

I felt like Silver Dragon's words were a lie. Lee took a step back from the choking fear.

‘We have to run. Now! "

That's what I thought. Your instincts tell you to run.

I looked at Lee with the furrowed eyes of the Silver Dragon. A man faced with a dragon cannot stay sane. Lee Han felt like his heart was about to burst and die. I sighed as if I had a panic disorder.

‘Wake up. If a dragon wants to kill me, running away won't do any good. Think of my purpose. I came to talk. There's no reason to run away in front of someone who says they won't kill you. If I'm going to die, I'm going to die no matter what I do. Think of it as a head, not a body! ’

Lee forced his mouth to shut up. He raises his spear.

[Are you going to fight?]

Silver dragons said as if they were petty.

Lee shakes his head. I put the spear down on the floor. I opened my arms, meaning unarmed.

“I've come to talk. Dragon!"

I felt a slight tremor in Lee Han's voice. The pupils of the Silver Dragon have been tapered.

[You'd better keep your distance. Come any closer and you're dead.]

A silver dragon strikes back. Lee felt the pressure coming down. The beating heart sank.

Boom.

The Silver Dragon settles down like a human.

[I never thought I'd meet a human in the oil field. Amazing. And interesting.]

Lee lifted his head wide.

“Who are you and why are you here alone? ”

[Before you ask me, doesn't it make sense to introduce yourself? Human.]

Silver dragon said sharply.

“My name is Ihan, the Earthling who fought your dragons. ”

[You're not from here. There's no way that an invisible human could suddenly emerge from the ground one day.]

Silver dragons have kept their gaze far away. He did not look at Lee Han directly.

“Maybe I'm leapfrogging space-time. Is this Earth? ”

[You humans know that better than I do. I don't know the history. Are those beasts from your history?]

Lee knew he was mistaken. It was his idea that Silver would know everything. According to Silver, there is more reason to believe this than to be sure that Silver is Earth.

“Let me ask you differently. Can you dragons time travel? ”

[Of course, it can twist space-time. But not as sophisticated as you might think. An unstable force. If you can manipulate time and space all you want, you can call it God.]

“Then this is the Earth. It's a long time ago. ”

Lee was convinced, what are the chances that other worlds' environments and life are similar to Earth's past? It's more convincing to be sure it's Earth.

[That solves my question. Looking at the location of the moon and the stars, I expected Earth, but I wasn't sure whether it was the past or the future. It's in the past.]

Lee Han twitched his lips. The Silver Dragon seemed to be testing this.

‘Obviously, he said that he didn't know if it was Earth. You knew that. ’

Lee looked at the Silver Dragon. Silver dragons did not look at this face. I kept avoiding my eyes.

‘Anyway, he doesn't want to kill me. ’

I knew enough with my head. But instinct says to run. Lee grabbed the back leg with his hand.

Lee explained the situation when he came here. I thought about every little detail carefully. The Silver Dragon listened patiently. His gaze did not reach Yihan. Suddenly, Lee Han asked.

“Why aren't you looking at me? ”

[Just as you fear me, I want to tear you apart right now. It's very hard to resist that impulse.]

Yihan flinches. He thinks it's hard on himself.

‘This dragon is also exerting patience. ’

Just as humans who have seen insects instinctively feel disgust, every dragon hates humans and wants to kill them, just as they crush them with their palms and kill them. It was natural for a dragon to hate humans.

Lee understood the physiological structure of such dragons. After all this time, a dragon hates humans for no other reason. No, for some reason, I thought no one would ever know.

[It will take us a long time to understand each other now.]

“What are you? ”

[I can't explain it all in words. No, my patience will run out if I explain it in words. See for yourself, mortal. I'll see you, too.]

“What does that mean…? ”

Yihan argues: The Silver Dragon emits psychic energy instead of an answer. The bluish waves pierced his body. Lee was on his knees. There was no focus on the pupil.

Lee's eyes looked not at the present but at Silver's past.

There is a mountain that pierces the sky and looks at the universe. When you look up from the top, you see the universe in Sackhaman, not in the blue sky. All the dragon hives were gathered here, even in the thin air.

- Twelve hundred years.

Black says it's rare for the Seven Hives to come together in one place. For many years, their gathering was rare.

- First time since blocking meteorites.

There was a meteorite collision more than 1,200 years ago. If the Seven Hives hadn't altered the trajectory of the meteorites, their planet would have been destroyed. They stopped the meteorites and took 1,000 years of hibernation with all their might.

- Why did you call all of us? Silver.

The other hive said. Silver looks down at the cliff with his heavy body.

- I stumbled upon a ‘human’.

Silver said it was his hobby to see the gaps in space-time. Silver is a dragon that specializes in space-time. Despite Silver's lack of combat skills, the other hives respected Silver. Silver was the most intelligent among the hives due to its complex recognition skills in space-time.

Gooooo!

Silver opens his mouth. He tore the space with a psychic. In the cross-section of the torn space, there was a world.

Contemporary city, towering skyscrapers known as forests. Beneath it are cars and humans. What the Hive saw was Earth's human civilization.

- Human.

The Hive's eyes changed. They feel a fierce rage. An intense hatred for humanity has risen. There was no reason for hatred. I just hated the humans. I wanted to kill them all.

- You found a human.

The Hives thought they had to exterminate humans without anyone having to say anything first. I didn't have any questions. Hatred and disgust were mixed. If we don't exterminate the humans, they'll go mad first.

They executed an invasion plan. I sent the seven dragons ahead of me as I expanded the passageway. Humans were driven to their doom but failed.

- This is really over.

Black speaks. When it comes to war, Black has more power than any other Hive. No one knows when those rules are set. They didn't even question their origins. However, they were not foolish or shallow in their depths. They are highly intelligent creatures.

However, the first question started with silver.

How do we know humans? ’

Every Hive didn't know man. Even though I hated humans, I had no idea that I was human. But as soon as we saw "human," we all knew that it was "human." The contradiction pecked Silver's head.

- Is that so important?

The other hives had a grumpy response. They are slowly drawn to madness. Human beings have driven them mad. Even the wise Hives surrendered themselves to destructive instincts, as if they were degenerating.

Silver was nervous, too. I was in a hurry to get ready for the next gate. I thought we should not destroy Humans one day too soon.

‘But do you really think me and my brothers are moving at their own will? ’

Silver felt skeptical. I was offended by my obsession with killing humans. It's as if someone is controlling them. Silver looked objectively at its unpleasantness and artificial obsession. I thought and thought through reason. Long reflections and meetings led Silver to a conclusion.

- Why should we kill humans?

It was a question of breaking the taboo. The other hives are excited.

- Why would you want to kill a bunch of bugs?

Black grunts and answers. I was ready to rip Silver's collar off right now.

- Just emotional hatred and hatred?

- This unpleasantness is enough! Silver! You're the one who first told me to find Humans and attack them!

Black howls, his forefoot dipping into the ground. The impact breaks the rock and the trees are pulled out. The Black Psychic influence makes the clouds rain on the ground. A thunderstorm strikes.

- Brothers, we have ruled as gods on this planet, harmonizing and balancing. I taught the inferiors the right thing, and I punished those who sometimes broke the balance. Our actions are no different from those of animals who are devoted to their instincts without incident. Right now, we're not doing what we think is right, we're just trying to unreasonably resolve the unpleasantness and hatred in our hearts. I assure you, this is wrong!

Silver shouts. The other hives flinch. Black smiles and emits a red glare.

- Well said, brother! Yes, we are gods! Our will is good and just! What we do is right, and what we hate is evil and wrong!

Black chants evil. Silver answered Nazik.

- Disgusting and hateful Humans, but we are the greatest of them all... and we must not kill them. That would be proof that we were great. It means you chose a free will to pursue righteousness, not instinct.

The black eyes glow completely red.

- If you hadn't shown us Humans in the first place...! This did not happen. Are you asking us to be patient now? Silver, my brother... you don't deserve that. We will kill the humans.

- I'm not opening the gate. Humans and our world are cut off here.

Silver insists. The other Hives rumble. Black vomits a cold rage deep in his heart.

- Then I'll give up being you and your brother. Silver! There is no one to follow your madness.

Black has declared. The other Hive has joined Black. Silver closed his eyes quietly.

- I'll lead my clan down to the basement. I'm not trying to protect the humans. I just want to prove that we are a great race of noble will.

Silver was convinced that human hatred and hatred planted in dragons were ‘artificial’. There's no way to prove it, but it's like being manipulated by someone. Silver was unacceptable. There is a Pride called the Great Faction close to God.
