Kill the Dragon

‘If the AP pulse only works on dragons, or if the effect I thought was different... I die. ’

That's why Lee hesitated. The AP pulse is not a reliably proven ability. Lee measured the likelihood on the scale of probability.

‘But we'll get what we deserve. ’

Lee's decision is made. He reaches out his hand forward. I looked at Spectre and focused. I was not familiar with the use of conscious AP waves. Until now, I have only instinctively applied in emergencies. There is a delay until you recall your senses and concentrate.

The opponent is not good enough to wait for that delay.

Bang, bang, bang!

Spectre makes a run for the wall. The wall cracks as if it were falling apart. The sheer blade flashes as it drags the floor.

After stopping his focus, he jumped backwards. The blade touched Lee's arm.

Scab!

Lee checked to see if his arms were attached. I cut off my armrest and fell to the ground. My heart was pounding.

‘We need to buy some time and distance. ’

Lee Han avoided the rushing Spectre attack. There was a gap between his movements and his. As long as Lee could concentrate, he could avoid it.

‘Narrow spaces, psychoframes, silences. ’

Lee thought as he recited the words. The combat accident ability reacted quickly to the situation.

Whee!

Lee takes off his battle vest and throws it to Silence. A battle vest with magazines and grenades hanging around it.

Click.

Lee Han pulled the auxiliary trigger on the lower part of the rifle. It's a grenade launcher. The grenade under the rifle goes straight for Silence. At the same time, Lee's grenade exploded.

Kuaaaaang!

Silence is pushed back by a series of explosive shocks.

This limit has not been completely out of range of explosions. You flew away from the explosion. I slammed my back against the wall. The bones crack.

Lee smiled, swallowing blood.

‘Everything is expected. I've bought myself some time and space. ’

Bold tactics for victory, quick judgment and execution. It was Lee Han's organ.

Wiiiing!

Lee reached out his hand and focused. It's a narrow space. There's no way Silence can avoid the AP pulse. Enough distance.

“Checkmate. ”

Ku-ung!

Lee Han's arm was swollen. A colorless wave swept through the passageway.

‘I'm dizzy. ’

Lee Han was clumsy. He tried to control it as best he could, but his whole body seemed to be completely drained. I felt heavy after just one use.

Wee-ing.

It was a familiar sound. Lee was cool. He opens his eyes wide. Spectre disappears from view for a moment, then appears.

‘Blink…! ’

The red aura blooms from the body of Silence. Spectre staggers. He jumps over the AP using a blink. It was unstable if it did not completely avoid the AP pulse.

Huff.

Lee lifts the gun with his finger, which is not strong enough. You pour out the remaining magazine. The psychoframe was still strong.

"Blink here. ’

I didn't know that Spectre could even use the possessor's ability. I thought Spectre would have used Blink if it was available.

‘That's a lot of variables. ’

Lee smiled bitterly. The coming Spectre was like an envoy. The blade flickers with evil.

Boom.

Spectre stops walking. I got into position to cut it off.

Twitch.

Spectre suddenly convulses. You're shivering from lifting your sword.

I could not avoid this AP wave completely. The AP waves were effective for SPECTRE. Spectre's grip was greatly weakened by the splash.

This is my body! ’

Silence's ego rises above the surface. The struggle between Spectre and Silence begins.

“Silence?”

Lee looked at the painful Spectre and Silence.

‘Opportunity.'

Lee barely stood up against the wall. His pupils glow with a spiral psychotic kick.

Can we do it again? ’

It was judged by instinct. Ability can be used again.

‘I don't have the strength to stretch far. Use it closely.’

If Spectre gets his lead back for a while, Lee Han dies. He slowly approaches Spectre.

Burrrrrrr!

Spectre shudders and swings his sword slowly. Lee swallowed the saliva and rushed to Spectre.

Ku-uk!

Lee's palm punched Specter-Silance's abdomen. The AP pulse rocks Silence's body. The red aura that once ruled Silence melts away.

Lee said, catching the falling silence.

“Come to your senses. Silence.”

Lee knew that SPECTRE was gone. I felt a sharp sensation in my fingertips. The unpleasant and relentless psychic energy disappeared.

Fallen to the ground, Silence exhales and shrugs. It seemed that he had not regained consciousness yet.

‘I've never seen this type of psychoframe before. ’

Lee touched Silence's psychoframe. The method of desorption was different from conventional psychoframes.

Booooo.

While he hesitated, the psychoframe log swelled up. As the compressed gel layer developed, there was free space.

“The detachment must be comfortable. ”

Lee mumbled and pulled Silence out of the inside of the psychoframe. I thought his weight was light.

‘It's dry.’

Lee Han frowned. Silence slaughtered the body. Very little health care

“Phew.”

Lee wanted to lie down at least now. It felt like the circulation stopped in my brain. I was short of breath and dizzy. The surrounding area was not secured, so it only survived as if it were a bad idea.

“Hmm."

Lee looked at Silence with a deep tear. It was an exceptional mental limit. Like a power outage, the brain blocked the consciousness. Lee fainted as if he had fallen down.

‘! ’

As soon as Silence gets up, he finds the knife and stutters. It was an engraved reflex. Silence grabs the knife, and then he's back on his feet. I turned my head around and looked around.

‘Hahn.’

Silence remembers the day Spectre took over. It was like a dream. I saw this in a blurred memory. I thought it wasn't as bad as this in my nightmares.

Are you serious?

Silence flinches as he makes his move to feel this. He leans over and shivers.

Ew. Ew. Ew.

A tremendous amount of pain grips Silence. It was an injury from earlier combat. You are caught in the explosion and move too hard. It also caused muscle cramps. I couldn't be more healthy. More than just muscle pain, the muscles seem to be torn apart.

‘It hurts.'

My tears turned pink. It took me a long time to adjust to pain. The cold sweat dripped down.

Silence turns his trembling hand back inside the carrier. There was one ampoule injection.

‘There's one left. Thank goodness.'

Silence plugs the ampoule into his arm. Silence curls up like a fetus. The drug administered was a precautionary awakening agent. The pain subsided as the medication moved around the body. Rather, I listened to the urge to fight.

‘Now I can live. ’

The sober Silence stares at this. Lee was dozing off.

Bloop.

I raised my hand and touched Lee Han. It wasn't a dream.

‘Alive. How...? ’

Silence's questions bite his tail. I watched him die. There is such a thing alive. Silence considers for a while, nodding quietly and smiling.

‘Whatever. ’

Right now, there's nothing more important than Yihan being alive.

Lee woke up wrapped around his itchy head. The headache seemed to penetrate through the back of the head. The short break was difficult to recover from. I wanted to sleep more, but when I thought it wasn't a safe zone, I opened my eyes.

“Silence?”

Lee looked at Silence, crouching. He was pulling out the instant food he got here and cooking it. Hot water was poured into a container containing sauce and cotton.

-Hi, Hahn.

Silence pulls out a palm-sized notepad and makes a pseudo-representation. I did not write the same electronic notes as before.

“It's been a while.”

I lost my body to him.

Silence hesitates. I could see how intense the combat trail around me was.

“It's okay. We're both alive. That's enough.”

Lee said as if he was fine. Silence stares at her for a moment.

‘My tone... I don't know why it's so sweet. I wasn't always the type to blame others... but something's different. I don't think it's been that long. ’

Silence turns his head and focuses on cooking. Something seemed off, but it smelled appetizing.

Is this ramen? ’

Silence guessed the food he cooked was ramen. A Japanese cotton dish. I've heard that they often eat in Korea. Add cotton and sauce and pour hot water. Silence deduced it's a common sense recipe.

- Eat.

Silence gave Lee a disposable container. The thick sauce floated separately from the hot water.

“Well, it's ramen. ”

Lee looked embarrassed. He read the packaging manual that Silence tore apart.

‘I see.'

Lee Han smiled bitterly. Silence's cooking was wrong.

- Is there a problem?

Seeing his reaction, Silence hurriedly twisted the writing.

“This is dumping water and soaking it with sauce. ”

- Any ramen without soup? If you just explain something to me, it's gonna get nasty.

“This is worse now. Throw this away first. ”

Lee gathered and threw away the noodles that Silence cooked without hesitation. Silence is a little confused.

Lee Han moved himself. My joints are aching.

The water was heated using a portable port. The hot water was placed alternately in a bowl with cotton. Lee shut the lid and looked at Silence.

- You're good.

Silence looks at his hands as if he were watching a magic show.

“I ate a lot when I was a kid. It was easy to find. ”

Lee saw that the cotton was ripe enough. I threw out the water and rubbed the sauce in. It was a spicy cotton dish. It tasted a little irritating.

Hoo-roop.

I was also hungry, so I was scared. The bowl was empty with two or three chopsticks.

- It's hot.

Silence drops his pen and drinks water fearlessly.

“You'll get used to it. ”

- I don't think you're gonna get used to it.

Silence eats it all up while complaining. It's been a long time since the food itself was instant but warm. He asked me to relieve my tired stomach with dry food.

“Looks safe here, though. Let's take a break and get up there. It's hard to move right now, actually. ”

What have you been up to? How are you still alive?

“I ask you quickly. ”

- I forgot to ask. I'm just glad I met you.

Lee hesitated to tell Silence. No one has told you everything so far. It was hard to let go of his burden.

‘Silence will be fine. ’

Silence has a heavy mouth. Defending his trust. Betrayal and plot are words far too far away for him. And he wanted to believe Silence. It was hard to take everything by myself now.

“Silence before that. Why did you come all this way? ”

- To find your brothers. I wanted to tell him about you. And I wanted to protect her if she was alive. These are the people you were trying to protect.

Lee Han bowed his head for a moment.

‘What I didn't even do.... ’

At some point, their work was behind them. I always stopped thinking with excuses like this. I was afraid to see my brothers, even if they were alive. So much time has passed, and so much has changed for my younger siblings.

- I'm sorry, I couldn't find it.

“No, thank you. ”

- You're welcome.

Silence nods. Lee thought he was smiling. Even though I didn't see his face, I felt conveyed. Is this what it's like to be an emotional friend without even saying it? Lee thought so.

“Silence…. I know it's hard to believe, but I was in the past. ”

Lee opened his mouth quietly. He went through it and spoiled everything he remembered one by one. Silence nods and hears the story.

A world where dinosaurs live, encounter with silver, the secret of the Hive, the division of dragons - and return.

Silence did not ask questions about Lee's story. I thought the words he needed were completely different. His words were filled with deep loneliness and loneliness.

Lee had to hug and moan without speaking to anyone. It was nice to spit it all out. Even the headache felt gone.

Silence has heard all of Ihan's stories. He squeezed one letter into the notepad and wrote it down carefully.

- Yeah, that must have been hard. Welcome back, Hahn.

He needed that warm empathy and understanding.
