Kill the Dragon

“Kuro. Where are the others?" Why are you with Omega? ”

“… disagreement. ”

Kuro said with a straight answer. It was a shortsighted tone, but there was no sign of death. I looked her straight in the eye and said,

“What did Omega do to you? ”

Kuro smiles bitterly. He turns his gaze toward the Omega.

“You should have explained it more clearly. ”

Kuro says, as he blames Omega-1.

“I have so much to explain. Three years of work has been nothing to Alpha. ”

Omega-1 shrugs. Kuro sighs and wears eyeglasses. I wore black sunglasses, but the blue eyes glistened blurrily.

“Do your job. X.O.”

Kuro told Omega-1: Lee's eyes widened.

X.O.?

Lee, of course, thought that Omega-1 was the Commander. His eyes stare at Kuro.

“Very well, Commander Kuro. ”

Omega-1's voice pierces his back head. Lee was creeped out by his back. He pauses and grabs the wall.

‘This is the right shot. ’

You hear the laughter of Omega-1. The owner of the Citadel was Kuro.

Kuro looked at Lee with worried eyes.

“Hahn, are you okay? ”

Lee heard Kuro's sweet voice.

‘Kuro is Kuro. Nothing to be embarrassed about. ’

Lee organized his thoughts calmly. What you need to know right away was Kuro's transformation. Kuro was too psychic to control his eyelight. Like the psychotic exposure, the skin and blood vessels were covered in blue light.

‘And explosive psychic energy. ’

Kuro's room has a very high density of psychic energy.

‘Omega-1 says Kuro is hope. ’

Lee looked at Kuro and Omega-1. Lee's reasoning came together. The conclusion was quick.

“Did you use the dragon's psychic core? Kuro, did you want to kill yourself? ”

Lee Han shot me fiercely. Omega-1 grabbed Lee Han from behind.

“A misunderstanding. Commander Kuro is unique. We just stumbled on it. I swear I have no intention of molesting or exploiting the commander. ”

“Specific?”

Lee Han protested.

“You'd never put a Commander in front of you in battle. I only rearranged as a supporter. When we settled in the Citadel, I couldn't help but wonder. During the battle, something happened the moment the commander stabbed the heart of the dragon. The commander absorbs the psychic energy from the damaged core. I almost killed myself. If you absorb that much energy, there's no avoiding psychic exposure like you said. I can't hold on. Rarely do we drop the Core and Commander. ”

Lee alternated between Omega-1 and Kuro. Kuro nods, meaning Omega-1 is right.

“Is that what this is about? ”

“The Commander should have died of psychic exposure. I said" singularity "because I didn't die. A psychic core crystal formed in the commander's heart. It stocks and regulates high concentrations of psychic energy inside the body. The commander's body is now stockpiled with Psychic Energy from 4 dragons. ”

Kuro looked at him. He quickly tackles the high-density psychic kick like clay. The cat-shaped psychic energy shakes like a balloon in the air. Kuro's hand gestures scatter the energy. It may seem like a joke, but it is not measurable with traditional psychic grades.

“That's why you've made Kuro Commander. You weren't a commander before that, were you? ”

Kuro winked and looked at Lee. Kuro has been commander ever since. Omega-1 volunteered to be deputy commander.

“That's great. How did you know? ”

Kuro clapped his hands and complimented Lee.

“Everyone knows that far enough. Idiot.”

Ihan gives Kuro a pint and looks at Omega-1.

“Kuro and I need to talk alone. Get out of my way."

You scratch your head as if Omega-1 were in trouble.

“I haven't heard the answer yet. Alpha, whether to cooperate with us or not. Depending on the answer... ”

The one who was annoyed by it was Kuro, not Ethan. His glare shimmers in horror.

“Don't treat hahn like that. X.O.! Now get out of here. Don't come until I call you. ”

Boom.

Kuro's nerves recede at once. It was a threat to Omega-1. Omega-1 nods and retreats. Evidence of a clear ascension. Kuro was superior to Omega-1.

‘It was intentional. The Omega-1 showed itself more underneath Kuro than underneath. ’

Kuro is the commander, but Omega-1 is in charge of the administration and command. The Commander was an iconic position. It resembles the Arc's Commander-Chief relationship.

Kuro, who expelled Omega-1, escorts Lee to his office.

“It's my private office, but it's rarely used. Everyone else is doing their job. ”

Kuro said with a drink. Lee sat down and looked at Kuro. In Kuro's mouth, the laughter did not stop. It was better than any news that Lee Han was alive.

“What about Knut and the others? What's going on? ”

Ethan asks, but Kuro only smiles lightly. It seemed difficult to answer.

“I'd like to start by saying how delighted I am to meet you. ”

Kuro sat down and said. He became as strong as he always wanted to be. I have a strong mind and body. We can now speak at an equal position.

“Nice to meet you, too. Kuro. But you know my personality. ”

Kuro nods. He was reluctant, but answered Lee's question.

“Silence left without a word before the arc collapsed. He escaped on his own. Knute and José are probably with Sergeant Red. Simon's been missing since the attack on Bahamut. ”

Lee Han carved the names of people in his head. Silence is strangely lost. Red Sergeant, Knut and Jose are alive. Simon is most likely dead. Lee remembered Simon's name in his mind.

“What does it mean that the other children are with Sergeant Red? ”

Kuro hesitates for a moment. He explained calmly.

“Are you supposed to call yourself Arc's successor? The Citadel is the bastard son of Arc. When the artificial island was attacked, Chief of Staff Alexander, who was at the heart of the arc, died. Since then, Sergeant Red has actually led the arc, assisting Commander Jurgen Teller. The Ark, as you know it, has collapsed, but the Ark remains intact. ”

Arc is divided into two groups: Arc and Citadel. You did not join forces with differences in position.

Lee Han frowned.

“Together, we're screwed. ”

Kuro lowers his head depressingly.

“I'm sorry, but I had no choice. Now our sickers are dying to protect a meaningless president, a prime minister, and some high society. Arc has already turned the world upside down once, but he hasn't abandoned his old order. I just decided there was no future there. ”

Kuro swallows the last horse. That's not why he acted so decisively with Omega. It was a more primitive emotional problem.

‘I... hated the arc that let you die. ’

The attack on Bahamut was an operation that sent reinforcements to the limbs. Arc told you to take the reinforcements to a strange place and kill Bahamut without any specific action. Kuro later heard about it and burned a strong hatred for the arc. If only such irresponsibility were not an order, Lee would have lived.

‘It's okay now that you're back. ’

Lee Hwan came back, who thought he was dead. I liked the details. If Lee was alive, it was enough.

“Neither Arc nor our Citadel could concede to each other. ”

When I heard it all the way to the end, I was about to throw a drink. Just like Silver said. Humans were not dragons, but were doomed to destruction.

“Do you think that's how we can win? The opponent is a dragon.”

“There's a chance. I'm here. ”

Kuro said he was not a weak boy of old. The eyes beyond the sunglasses glow like a show of strength.

Kieing.

The choking psychic energy has taken over the area. It was Kuro's energy. His skin turned completely blue. As the skin became translucent, the shapes of blood vessels and bones were visible. It was a grotesque sight.

“I'm strong. Hahn. Stronger than anyone. I know you're worried. Omega-1 will try to manipulate me while using me. But I'm not weak enough for that kind of scam. If I had my heart set on fighting every Cyclist in the Citadel, I could win. ”

Kuro's words were not a lie. In order to compete with him, we need to get to the Hive. His power transcended not only humans, but even dragons.

“Kuro.”

Lee Han opened his lips. It has a complicated meaning to it. Lee looked at Kuro. There was a mix of worry and anger.

“Hahn. You don't have to protect me anymore. No omega, no dragon, no arc... no one can touch you. You can rest assured now. I'll protect you. ”

Kuro spoke with sincerity and friendship about this. Lee was not angry with Kuro. Kuro was still innocent.

Lee understood Omega-1 and Kuro's choices. I know the context of the process. He was preparing for the aftermath of the war, just like Omega-1. The omega was just a little more aggressive and extreme. The essential directionality of problem-solving was the same. If the humans take out the bikers, the bikers have to stick together.

What will happen to Saiker? No one knows that. As long as there are dimensional cracks associated with the two systems, the sicker will continue to be born. There is no guarantee that the war will end. Dimensional gates have the possibility of remaining scars and dimensional cracks even when closed.

“Killing dragons is not the end. ”

Kill the Hive, the essence. They are immortals. Survive by borrowing another individual's body.

‘I need Silver's help to win the war. ’

Kuro is definitely strong. But being strong is not enough to win.

"The Citadel is a half-breed. I need a psychoframe. Not just the Cyclops, but the other troops that are still out there. ’

A gathering of all competencies is required. Lee did not talk about silver. Information is always powerful. I don't intend to divulge important information more easily than Omega-1 is a key figure in the Citadel.

‘I must also contact Arc. ’

Lee made plans for the future. He thought, writing letters on paper.

‘Arc-related military groups and their first objectives were achieved. As expected, the tissue is in a distributed state of force. The comms are down. Omega-1 will hold me back. Kuro cannot leave the Citadel easily. ’

Lee came to a conclusion.

‘What I need now is a psychoframe and equipment. And a trusted colleague. ’

Yesterday, I rested and slept as soon as I came home.

Is it the heat that's making you weak, the lack of exercise, or both?

It's getting hotter in July.
