Kill the Dragon

# 23 Dead Rising

Silence walks through the silent darkness. He leaves the arc. It was a long time ago. After humanity's last frontier, Silence roamed the world. It moves from the end of the world to the end.

‘Han.'

A lot of people have left Silence. However, his death had great significance to Silence. Silence himself didn't know why. Maybe it was because he was the first mentally conscious peer friend.

‘I'm not the only one who left my side. ’

Silence recites the names of the dead. Silence is discouraged. The world remains unchanged after the heroes' sacrifice. The world was destroyed, and peace became a far-off word.

‘I don't know what's right. ’

Silence sees the Arc's disagreement. The quarrels and conflicts between the brains and the bikers were deeper every day. I fought against each other for one decision. Silence never took anyone's side. In his view, both were right and wrong.

‘Ihan would have given me a clear answer. ’

Silence always believed in this. I thought what he was doing was right. Lee was thoughtful but sometimes cold. My life with Lee Han was pleasant. Silence moves forward, reminiscing.

Silence's footsteps are heavy.

Huff.

He's wearing a psychoframe. A lightweight psychoframe modified by Octo. Octo was called MK-2 Rogue type. To be precise, this is not Okto's creation. Reference is made to other schematics. Psychoframe log types have already been designed for long-term solo intelligence and guerrilla use.

"This is not a giant dragon psychoframe. ’

The log was vulnerable to use as a Great Dragon War. Given the dragon fighting style, there's no reason to develop it.

‘Perhaps for the greater good, for espionage, for assassination, etc…. ’

The log type is easy to wear on its own and undressing is not difficult. Low dragon material makes the output weak but easy to perform for long periods of time. Output is also a garage-rich level if it is for the in-person, not the Great Dragon.

‘Why did the arc develop this psychoframe? ’

When the Dragon War is over, all the psychoframes will be destroyed. It's one of the Arc Project treaties.

‘Arcs, humans, cycles. ’

Arc is a neutral and complex group. They are not entirely on the human side, nor are they a group for the sake of the Saiker. The neutral contradiction may have led the arc into division.

Beep, beep.

Surrounding radiation levels have risen to a hazard level. Silence would not have lasted long without the radioactive coating of the psychoframe.

‘A land of death where even minions don't come. ’

Humans used the core to reduce the number of minions. Radioactive materials are spread over the earth. It has become a land of death where life does not come near. Ironically, this land is a good refuge for dragons. It is because even humans cannot break in easily.

Jubbuck.

Silence killed his step.

‘Killing a dragon won't change anything... ’

He gazed calmly forward. There was a dragon on the ground that was covered in gray. He was sleeping the dragon. Whenever I exhale, my body stirs.

‘At least I won't let those who stand out to me live. ’

Woof.

Silence used a blink. More than twice as long as before. He draws his twin swords.

‘I would have saved this if I could have used the Blink this far back then. ’

Whew.

Silence stabs the dragon in the neck. You stabbed the psychic core with the remaining knife. It was a completely resected movement. Without unnecessary movement, the dragon breathed a single blow. No one in the world has killed more dragons than Silence. Close your eyes and find the heart of the dragon.

Shhh.

Blue smoke seeps through the cracked hide of the dragon. Silence pulls the knife from his waist in a gentle motion. He has escaped the dragon's resting place.

Silence has cleared the map beyond the radiation zone. A digital map was visible because the handset system was alive. I couldn't use the network or GPS, so I didn't know exactly where it was, but I did know where it was.

‘Almost over China. ’

Silence's destination is Korea. Rumor has it it has already collapsed. Even in the first invasion, the country suffered heavy damage, so it could not withstand further confusion.

The surrounding safety was secured and the psychoframe was removed; it was housed in a large carrier measuring 2 meters. It was not difficult for the wheels to run at every corner.

Tsk.

Silence shredded his jerky. Only the mouth of the helmet was opened. The dry lips were pale. It was hard to manage nutrition by myself. Sometimes I starve for days. It used to be sleek, but now it is appropriate to say that it is dry.

Silence eats in a ruined building.

Kirik.

I heard a strange noise. Silence raises his pistol. You gaze into the darkness. The helmet's infrared field of view has been activated.

‘Vagabonds.’

I saw three vagrants dressed in ragged clothes. They wince at Silence. I said something while gesturing.

'The conversations don't work. ’

Vagabonds spoke Chinese. Silence doesn't even know Chinese, but he knows roughly what they mean.

"You're asking for rations. ’

The vagrants grope with open arms. Silence craves the food he's eating. They also starve for a long time, and their fingers are badly parched.

Backwards, backwards.

Silence pulls out the bulky, low-calorie confectionery.

‘I'm sorry, I can't give you much. ’

Silence has lived alone for a long time. I know the importance of food. The world was torn apart by compassion alone.

Silence hands over the snacks, and the vagrants are afraid to eat. They look at Silence and disappear. Their eyes were filled with greed rather than gratitude. Other foods Silence is eating are coveted. But Silence didn't have the guts to hold a handgun.

‘It's annoying.'

Silence moves his bed after the vagrant disappears.

He closes his eyes, leaning against a strange wall. I didn't intend to fall asleep. Silence is suffering from chronic sleep deprivation, but he has nightmares when he falls asleep. I was afraid of nightmares, so I was reluctant to fall asleep.

Knuckles.

If you want to avoid nightmares, you can't avoid them all the time.

Twitch.

Silence grips the floor. I trembled. The background of the nightmare remains the same. It was time to fight Bahamut. The empty universe, dying Bahamuth, standing still. A helpless silence. I couldn't save it after a few repetitions.

Silence opened his eyes. I raised my head and looked forward. I saw three people. Silence reaches out, reflexively.

“Hiya!”

The vagrant who took the food earlier screams. They had bars in their hands. They attack Silence. I was going to kill Silence and take his food.

‘I knew it. ’

Silence smiles bitterly. This was not the first time. It was a cold betrayal to come back even if you showed kindness first. At first, I felt sorry for them.

‘They are worse than beasts. ’

Silence no longer showed them mercy. He saw how evil humans can become. No matter how bad things get, there are things you shouldn't do. If you cross that line, you are not human. Silence thought so.

Kwauk.

Silence subdued the vagrants with his bare hands. I broke my arm and took my weapon. I broke my legs, so I wouldn't move.

“Huff, huff, huff. ”

Silence breaks the wanderer's limbs. They cried out for forgiveness. Silence didn't want to fight back.

‘It's not worth saving, but I'm not going to kill it myself. ’

Silence hated them. I once saved a group of traitors like this. You show mercy for one betrayal. It was a terrible sight to return to him. The vagrants Silence rescued raided their hidden homes, plundered their food, and plundered their women.

‘Self-friendly compassion and awkward pity are bad deeds, not good deeds. ’

Silence understood the past. I had a little experience of what life Lee had. Lee was often so suspicious and determined that Silence thought. I had to. In a world without order, people were hard to believe.

‘The outside world is like this... ’

The world was so crooked by Silence's belief in uprightness. There were far more wicked men in the world than good men.

Silence has given up sleeping tonight. You leave the immovable wanderers alone. You hear the Werewolf cry from afar.

‘I won't be able to give up today. ’

Silence knew the vagrants would die tonight. He would have spared their lives three years ago. Silence wouldn't have had the time three years later.

Lee has reached the Citadel through a jumping point. He was treated and rested in the Citadel. Stranger doctors examined her body.

“Enhancement experts. The doctors in charge of the Hellboys in America. ”

Omega-1 told Ihan. Hellboy is an American Special Forces Minion. The whole team had a strengthening procedure. Lee had met them before.

“I will go to Korea after I finish my treatment. ”

Lee told Omega-1 in advance.

“What is the current report? ”

“I'm not obligated to write a report. ”

Lee said with reluctance. Omega-1 frowns.

“Don't forget it's our Citadel to back you up. ”

Omega-1 favored Silence. Silence is the best striker. Silence is more helpful in the Great Dragon War than a clumsy army.

“I appreciate that. ”

Lee did not report the encounter with Simon to the Citadel. I thought it was right to bury Simon like this.

An omega-1 surgeon has left the room. Lee looked at the bandage tightly. I wanted to leave quickly, but I don't intend to be reckless and unhealed. It's dangerous out there. We can't be sure if we'll survive the operation in the best condition.

Woof.

Lee Han raised the glass of water using his mind. I grabbed the water cup from the air with my hand.

‘I need to know exactly what I'm capable of. ’

Lee knows that his ability is a new feature.

Nullify Psychic? ’

Lee said so.

"My power pierced the heart of the dragon. After that, the dragon lost its psychic ability and crashed. Weak enough to be beaten by a naked biker. ’

It reminds me of the scene of the battle. I rethink the plot like a mirage.

‘Anti-Psychic pulse. ’

Lee called it that first.

‘It's not psychic neutralization. With my power, it's impossible to neutralize the dragon's entire psychic energy. It is a structural force, not a force, which disrupts the psychic energy. ’

Yihan firmly gripped his open hand. It is more useful than any other capability to use.

‘If I use it, I will also be exhausted. ’

After using the AP wave on the Red Dragon, Lee is incapacitated. Psychic overload has occurred. It was definitely an ability that was difficult to use several times.

“The distance is over 50 meters. Emitter gauge. Is it possible to change intensity according to output control? Or is it just a circular pattern ability? ”

Lee murmured, setting aside the proven facts and questions. There were a lot of things to find out later in the test. If it was Arc's research facility, the researchers would have created the test item themselves, but we don't have the talent for it here.
