Kill the Dragon

“Damn, it's hot. I can't even stand the psychoframe. ”

The reinforcements are circling the area. Even the air is dry in the flame zone of the Red Hive. The approaching reinforcements collapsed shortly after a struggle.

Omega-1 frowns. He fought as hard as he could.

‘The power of the Red Hive is superior to silver. ’

Silver Hive needed help. At this rate, you will be defeated by the Red Hive.

Strap in.

The approaching omega-1 flinches with heat. The heat created by psychics was enough to melt even rocks.

“We have to go in now. Omega.”

Lee came up to me one day and said, His psychoframe was a mess. Traces of a gunfight are etched into every corner. I could not even fathom Lee's efforts with empty words. There are still enemies left.

“This is a psychic heat. We, of course, do not approach dragons easily. ”

Omega-1 looks at the opening and replies.

“If we don't help Silver Hive now, what we've done so far is futile. If Silver dies here, it means nothing. ”

Lee knew the Silver Hive wouldn't last long. Lee is mentally weakly connected to the Silver Hive. I felt confused about Silver Hive's mood and condition.

‘Silver Hive has now faced defeat. If we don't help them, Red Hive will. ’

Lee Han stretched his arm out into the open. Heat seeping through the psychoframe and psychic shield seeps into your arms. The flesh settles. The heat created by the Hive's psychic kicks is intense.

“He created a thorough one-on-one situation. This is how we're going to end Silver. ”

Omega-1 said Lee turned his vision into a psychic tracker. A large amount of psychic energy is being released from the Red Hive's body. Even a Hibra can't withstand that kind of emission for long.

“Red Hive liberated the psychic core. There's gonna be a time limit on that condition. But silver will be dealt with before the time limit is up. In the end, we are the ones who have to force their way in. ”

Lee said.

- Khao Oho!

The Silver Hive screams high. Red Hive bites Silver's neck. Even the blood evaporated in the hot heat.

‘We have to do something with this power now. Time to think is short. It's a chance Silver will get his ass kicked. ’

I'm tired too. The psychoframe felt heavy. There was not much psychic energy left.

“Is there a valid way to attack the Red Hive? Alpha.”

Omega-1 said.

“As long as you keep your mouth shut, there's no way you're going to make a valid hit. ”

Lee said, Omega-1 folds his arms.

“If Silver Hive dies here, it's over. There's no way to make us open our mouths. ”

“We must save the Silver Hive without fail. Once the Silver Hive is dead, it takes time to resurrect. The other Hives will be resurrected first. As soon as the Silver Hive is resurrected, it's likely to be hit or sealed by another Hive. Then we must fight back against the dragon army and the Hive. ”

Omega-1 is silent for a moment, as if to think.

“Repeating the war one more time shouldn't be too bad. If Silver and Red perish here, we have time to prepare. I think we should retreat from here. Not a bad rap. There should be at least a few years to prepare. ”

Lee Han frowned.

“Let's do this all over again? ”

“One more sicker like Kuro could win the next war. Don't you think? ”

“It's an immature thought. Omega-1. Kuro can no longer use psychic abilities. Kuro's power is more dangerous than a dragon's. Didn't you see that earlier? If we use more of those forces, other realms and dimensions, we'll be finished before the dragons intervene. ”

“You can control it. We'll figure out a way to study your AP pulse. ”

Omega-1 responded calmly. Lee pushed Omega-1 forward.

“You don't look so good. ‘It will work somehow.’ is not the answer that comes out now. We're just avoiding the problem in front of us. ”

Lee looked at Omega-1 with cool eyes. Omega-1 shrugs.

“Am I saying I'm wrong? That's funny. Is there any way to get through that heat right now? ”

“If there's no way, we have to find it. ”

Jihan stepped on the boiling lava floor. Psychoframes are red.

‘Psychic is the power of imagination. If you can think of it, it will be done. I remember the feeling when I pulled Kuro out. ’

Lee Han carefully tuned with the AP waves. I didn't forget my senses when I pulled Kuro out of the singularity. At that time, Lee unconsciously wrapped an AP wave around his arm. If it weren't for that, even the prosthetic arm would be caught up in the peculiarity.

‘Kuro has used up all his features. He used an unknown new ability. Features are not assigned or granted. Every sicker has the potential of every feature. It just appears to be differentiated depending on how you think and how conscious you are. If so…. ’

Lee saw endless possibilities in Kuro. The classification was merely a pun, because it was a mind-set or feature. The incident closed and failed to perform because it defined the psychic ability.

Lee Han wrapped an AP wave around the psychoframe. He walks through the heat. Everyone watched the scene.

“How?”

Even Omega-1's eyes are wide open. It was a hot spot where no one had ever broken in. Lee was walking there.

Lee had remained calm. Psychic energy is the power of thinking. The use of psychic abilities consumes the mind. It is not the brain's ability, as many scientists speculate, but the non-material force associated with the five-dimensional realm. An unscientific and unproven ambiguous force called mental power.

Whoo-hoo!

Lee Han pulled out his spear and swung it into the air.

‘With my current psychic energy, I can only do it once. You have to remember that feeling. ’

Lee has gone through space and space distortion through teleport twice. I recently experienced Blink with the help of Silence. There was a common denominator among those abilities. If it is possible to express other features other than the current features, the most familiar capability would be the space slimming system.

Jiggle, jiggle.

Lee Han's soles were hot. I was distracted by other thoughts. The surrounding AP wave shield is shaking incompletely.

- You're barely holding on. In that state, fighting is hard. Come back, Alpha.

Omega-1 has sent a transmission. I thought it was surprising. As worrying as Turo Omega-1 says,

“Don't you hate me? ”

- Dislike and need are separate. Your AP skills are needed to use Kuro.

“If I do not return, do not use Kuro's power again." That's not a power we can control. ”

Lee told Omega-1: Whether Omega-1 ignored it or not, that was all he had to say.

The Red Hive has found this walking distance. Ihan was the one who killed the Black Hive. But I didn't have to care anymore. Psychic energy alone is scarce. It can't hit itself like that.

The Red Hive focused on Silver.

By the time you have a new body, all humans will be gone.

The Red Hive slowly tightens its breath, clawing silver with its claws. I pressed the psychic core of the Silver Hive with my claws. Silver Hive tries to block the claws of his arm, but Silver's psychic core cracks slightly.

- ….

Silver Hive is silent, not even capable of answering. His eyes look beyond the Red Hive. Lee Han looked small. Long ago, Silver Hive and Ihan deepened their senses. I shared a part of my memory. This is the first time humans have experienced emotional contact with dragons.

‘Let him open his mouth. ’

Ihan thought, I wanted Silver Hive to hear. The Silver Hive hardly raises its eyes.

Cough!

The Silver Hive gives up its defenses and straightens its arms. You grab Red Hive's chin and open it up and down. Blah! Red Hive's mouth is wide open.

Silver.

- Our weaknesses, the few means by which humans can kill the Hive.

Silver Hive struggled to answer. The Red Hive opens its eyes wide. The only way to kill the Hive. It penetrates into the mouth and attacks the inside of the body. Psychic shields are light in the body without leather. The Hives that have been hit so many times no longer open their mouths during melee combat.

‘It's a long way. About 40 meters. The legs walk on zero gravity, the space folds, but the body stretches like a pinch.... ’

Jihan mutters. The Red Hive's mouth is wide open. I didn't miss it.

Wee-ing!

Lee Han used this space leap. It's an incomplete leap. A ripple of blood spills out of your body. It was pain that tore my whole body apart. You ignore the pain. Lee reaches out and grabs the inside of the Red Hive's tongue. I ran down his throat as if crawling.

Red Hive shudders and closes his mouth. Lee was already inside.

- Kuoooooo!

Silver Hive screams. The seizing Red Hive has roughly beaten Silver's psychic core. The psychic core of the Silver Hive was about to snap.

Slippery.

Ihan enters beyond the throat of the Red Hive. Red Hive coughs and tries to vomit several times. Lee took a picture of the wall with his spear.

‘It works.’

Psychic shield is light on non-sheath areas. It is because only dragon hide and bones are unique in their ability to accept psychic energy. The intestinal tract is vulnerable.

Heat rises from Red's belly. Lee Han's skin became red. Tannat comes up from everywhere.

Whoo-hoo!

Lee looked around with a psychic tracker. I saw organs that were presumed to be psychic cores. All the psychic energy was intertwined around it.

“Huff.”

Lee took a breath for a moment. Heat seeped into my lungs. I felt like I was gonna die right now. No, I felt more comfortable dying.

‘Why am I fighting like this? ’

It's not justice, it's not mission consciousness, it's not compassion. There is no such thing as the Silver Hive. It was just a personal and human reason. The comrades next to me fell, and sometimes they were angry at the actions of the dragons to live... A mixture of hatred and sadness. Self sadness about his own devious life. I was also envious of Simon, who had escaped from the cycle of being called a sicker. But all Lee can do is fight. Do your best every moment and keep the rest of your colleagues and friends by your side. That was the personality that underpinned this.

“Aaaahhh!! ”

Lee Han shouted and moved his arm. If I don't scream, I can't move my body.

Kwa-jik!

His spear pierced the flesh and muscle layers of the Hive. Hot blood fell on his head. Heat permeated between the psychoframes.

One more time. ’

Lee Han stretched his spear deeper. I hit the psychic core in the window. Lee Ji-han twisted his spear and tried his last.

Tsk.

The sound of glass breaking. Destruction of the psychic core. Lee heard that sound. Then I was relieved. I sat down relaxed. I didn't even think of escaping. Steam rises from his body.

‘This is it.’

Lee Han bowed his head. I closed my eyes. It was dark.

- This is not where you die. You still have a mission.

You hear the voice of the Silver Hive penetrating through the darkness. Silver Hive's fingernails pierce through Red's chest. The hand grabs Lee Han and protects him.

Whoo-hoo!

The Silver Hive has secured maximum Psychic Shield deployment. His broken psychic core seems to be losing its light right now.

Red Hive's death was accompanied by a massive explosion. If Silver hadn't protected Lee, Lee would have died too.

All but the Silver Hive are dead. The dragons who lost the Hive plummeted and fell. The other dragons died miserably at the hands of the Silver Dragon and the remaining reinforcements.

“I won.”

A reinforcer takes off his helmet and says, They won the war. That alone was certain. It was a victory built upon many sacrifices. I cried before the smile of joy. No one smiled brightly. I sat down with tangled emotions, not laughter or crying.

- It's not over yet.

Silver Hive told Ihan: Lee barely opened his eyes. Surprisingly, most of the pain disappeared. Silver Hive used abilities similar to healing factors on Lee Han's body. Lee's body recovered at a rapid rate. If you let the injury remain, Lee Han is dead.

“Silver?”

Lee said, staring at Silver.

The only silver hive was covered in wounds. You don't heal your wounds. No, treating physical damage does not prevent death. The psychic core was halved.

- I'm supposed to go. We must go to the Nest before they are resurrected.

Silver Hive has omitted the context ahead. Lee quickly understood.

“But you're going to die. ”

Lee said, Silver Hive struggled to breathe. Soldiers slowly gather around you.

- I need someone to go instead.

“Okay, got it. Silver.”

Lee Han nodded.

- He might not make it back. You'll have to find a way to stop it.

“You don't have time to say hello to anyone, do you? ”

The big eyes of the Silver Hive blink.

- I'm sorry, Ihan. You kept your promise, but I didn't keep mine.

“It's okay.”

Lee looked at the Silver Hive. Silver is the source of the Dragon War. He was a hateful opponent, but his heart was not. I even felt sorry for him.

“If I were you, I'd kill humans on my people's side. You wouldn't have made this choice. ”

Lee said honestly. If humans go to war with pests one day, humans will not pity insects. That's what humans are to dragons. Lee still did not understand Silver's choice.

- If you take the psychoframe, you're on your own. If you're naked, you can have two.

“That's it. You're on your own. ”

Lee answered without hesitation.

- You and I may not understand each other, but at least we think we can respect each other.

Silver Hive slowly used psychic energy on Lee's body. Not many people understood that view. Only Omega-1, who arrived first, knew what was going on.

“Omega. If you really did all that for the Cyclist, not the Sarisa... at least avoid destruction." ”

Lee said to Omega-1: Omega-1 was neither positive nor negative. I silently stared at Lee Hwan as he disappeared.

Other soldiers only knew that he made certain sacrifices. Some bowed their heads, some bowed.

The roaring Silver Hive is dead.

Pot.

Lee Han disappeared.
