Kill the Dragon

# 27 Black returns

The body of the Black Hive is gone. It was unpleasant no matter how many times I went through it. No matter how much I was resurrected, I was reluctant to face death. His mind floated into the air and returned to the Nest. The nest will find a suitable subject and implant the Hive's spirit. A series of processes proceeded like natural providence.

The spirit of memory and information is exquisitely preserved. Every time you move your body, the Hives perceive you as the same person. That is why it is immortal.

If we define life and life in a narrow sense, the Hives are not immortal. Replication is more accurate than resurrection.

Bugle, buzz.

A new Black Hive object has been defined. It was an intact and healthy individual.

At the heart of the nest is a swamp made of organizing liquids. The Black Dragon, deep down, has begun to pervert. As the liquids seeped in, the Hive's memories and information were implanted. The body grew to Hive grade. A thin shell surrounds you like an insect pupa.

It took a long time to resurrect. The Hive is a more complex and elaborate creature than any other dragon. No hives are created overnight.

- Stronger power...

The Black Hive has expressed its will. He knew the Gold Hive was dead. Gold Hive's spirit travels through time and back to its nest. Black checked Gold's information.

There was an unusually strong human in Gold's memory. The human was able to confront the Hive with pure psychic ability.

- Nest.

The nest was the sanctuary of dragons. A place where dragons are born. Nests are not meant to be constant places. One day, dragons suddenly appear when they need it. Organisms and liquids gather to form swamps and nest around them. Like the Hive, it is an immortal sanctuary that does not physically disappear.

The nest has its own will. Having an emotional connection with Hive, dragons have always provided the power they need. The birth of the two kinds of dragons that humanity talks about was also the power of the nest.

The Hive hasn't changed for a long time. It was so strong that there was no need for change. But now the Hive needed a change. I needed a stronger body.

The Nest understands Black's will. Faster, stronger, smarter.

Black needed a strong force to wipe out all the humans.

Yuck, yuck.

You hear a strange sound in the black swamp. The organics were synthesized as they boiled.

Black eyes open in the swamp. I needed more time to get out of the fix.

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

The low sound of crying burns. Hatred for Humankind has become stronger.

The nest analyzed its battle history to date and provided Black with a ‘winning flesh’.

After the battle with Gold Hive, three days passed. Colonel Tobias sent a report to his home country. It takes a few days to reply.

‘Maybe it'll take longer. There's a lot to review. ’

Colonel Tobias is a patriot. The country was a meaningless era, but he was loyal to his country. That's why I was afraid of the resurrection of the Citadel and the Syker. Kuro was too strong, but too strong. Humanity was hard to cope with Kuro.

How do we stop Kuro from turning his back on humanity? ’

I didn't even have to test Kuro's abilities. The pure power of humanity cannot kill Kuro. Nuclear weapons, no snipers, no assassins. It was an indispensable presence.

‘The only possibility is this. ’

It was Ihan's assurance. He was the only one who could stop Kuro. Only the AP-wave was able to overcome the power difference. Colonel Tobias emphasized that in his report several times.

“We don't need any support for this. At this rate, even if we win the war, humanity will be subject to the sicker. ”

Colonel Tobias mutters, drinking only a little wine. The whole plan went to shit. As planned, the United States intended to absorb the arc and place it under the command of the Cyclist army. The Citadel is considered a powerless organization. I thought they could be eliminated at any time.

‘It's too dangerous. At this rate, the order of the world is in the hands of one person. ’

Colonel Tobias pours the remaining wine into his mouth. He couldn't resist the rushing slumber. I spent three nights working on a report. He decides to go to sleep and think of the following:

Terra Node was a festive atmosphere. The cold border between the Ark and the Citadel melts as well. They have won against the Hive. No casualties. Most importantly, it was hope. There is hope of winning the war. I felt that the war was not far from the future.

“Not bad, Kuro. ”

“I always knew he'd do something big. ”

“He always knew how to use his powers when it mattered. ”

“Usually, it wasn't stupid. Haha.”

The assessment of Kuro pierced the sky. Kuro was the reason there were no sacrifices in this battle.

‘Not bad. They're united in some way. You are united around Kuro. ’

Lee finished the exercise and drank water. He glances around his eyes. Most reinforcements were favorable to Kuro.

- Omega's gonna love this.

Silence approaches. Silence was unable to participate in the last battle. Psychoframe logs make it difficult to hive and go all out. Silence was also waiting for a new psychoframe.

“I think it's okay. I don't want to take anyone's side. It doesn't matter if it becomes a cluster around Kuro naturally. It's important that we fight together somehow. ”

When Silence hears this, the bear thinks: Though there were some emotionally reluctant parts, Lee was right. Now is the time to concentrate on defeating the dragons together. You have to stop feeling trivial.

- You're right.

Silence nods. The most important thing is to end the war. After that, it was enough to think about.

‘When the war is over... I... ’

Silence has spent his entire life as an Arc soldier. He has lived in the arc since he was very young.

‘… do I have the courage to live my own life? ’

Silence silently bites his lower lip.

Just in time, Lee Han received a call from the command. Silence watches as it disappears down the hall.

Lee went into Colonel Tobias' private room.

Chuck, Iehan saluted me in manners. Colonel Tobias looks at this and smiles like a nice man. He waves his hand excitedly.

“There's no need to salute each other like that. Have a seat.”

Colonel Tobias said, Lee's eyes widened. I've confirmed that Colonel Tobias didn't make it.

‘I don't think that's crazy. ’

Lee sat down. A soft couch. In front of it is a Coke with ice. Cola is a rare supply, even if it seems insignificant.

Shorty.

Lee shakes his collar. The ice strikes and makes a clear sound. A sip of sparkling carbonate pierces your throat.

“Not bad. ”

Captain Tobias laughs.

‘You're as good as you were when you were rude. ’

Lee quickly rolled his head after entering the room. We're clear.

‘In short, this is entertainment. Colonel Tobias is just as scared of Kuro as he is of you. ’

Lee had once promised that he could stop Kuro.

‘To be honest, I'm not sure. It was a force that surpassed my expectations. Is it even possible to hit an AP pulse on Kuro? ’

Lee drank all the remaining cola. You put an ice cube in your mouth and bite.

Enemies. Enemies.

“Well, what else do you need? I'll do whatever it takes. ”

Colonel Tobias seems to be able to remove the liver.

“Aren't you feeling a little overwhelmed? ”

Lee said as if he shot me. Colonel Tobias laughs.

“We have to do this now. ”

Lee felt the desperation of Colonel Tobias.

“Even if I don't do this, I keep my promises. ”

Captain Tobias was not relieved.

Colonel Tobias' biggest concern was holding hands with Ihan and Kuro. Even if Yihan breaks the neutrality, there's nothing Colonel Tobias can do. Moreover, I have heard many times that Ihan and Kuro are close friends. According to the training record, he was almost like a brother.

‘It's terrible to think about what happened when Ethan came to Terra Node. It's not unusual to hold a grudge against us. Normal would be normal. ’

Lee put reason before emotional judgment. It was bad luck for Colonel Tobias.

“If, very if. If something happens.... Lieutenant Ihan. How likely do you think you are to defeat Kuro? ”

Colonel Tobias asked carefully. I was careful not to buy this contradiction.

“Home is meaningless. Kurora is just an ant with poison that can kill an elephant instantly. Maybe there's a bigger difference between elephants and ants. ”

Lee Han shrugged his shoulders and laughed. Colonel Tobias cries out.

“I see.... He demanded a psychoframe from his home country. Psychoframe for you. I will provide you with the highest specifications as far as technology can go. ”

Lee Han only opened one eye.

“I'd say no with a reactor mounted. ”

“You don't have to worry, the whole psychoframe scheme with the reactors has been abandoned. ”

Colonel Tobias ordered only the finest equipment for this purpose. If you know the seriousness of the situation in your home country, you can squeeze the budget and resources you don't have and prepare the best psychoframe.

“I know what you're worried about. But Kuro is not a Cyclist. If we don't betray them first, there won't be any worries. ”

Kuro doesn't like discriminating against anyone. Kuro is a boy who knows the suffering of weak and powerless people. Unlike Omega-1, a natural carnivore. Lee believes in Kuro.

‘It's true that I'm anxious, but I have to trust Kuro. If I don't trust Kuro, Kuro will really collapse. ’

Lee got up.

“Thank you for the cola. Goodbye.”

Colonel Tobias nods. Lee Han left the room. Click, the door opens and Lee's reflexes disappear. Colonel Tobias breathed for a long time.

“Whose future is it...? ”
