Kill the Dragon

‘I missed it. It's much faster than I expected. ’

A steel beast that has passed through here has bitten the limbs of Elu's men. Screams spread everywhere.

Are you ignoring me? ’

Lee Han lunges at the steel monster with his spear. The smooth metallic cover does not stick the spear properly.

‘Then it is a shotgun battle. ’

Lee put his spear in the ground. I ran after the big investment tax. Psychoframe moves faster with psychic energy.

Boom!

Lee Han kicks the belly of the steel monster. A loud bang erupts. The steel monster flies away as it kicks. The steel monster breaks through three trees and pushes away. His metallic cover cracks.

‘Next, aim for the head. ’

Lee did not take long. You grab the steel monster and elbow him over the head. Psychoframes may not stand out because of this dragon, but psychoframes themselves are scarred. Increases Strength and Movement Elixir. The power that breaks through steel.

Phage!

An electric shock strikes you as the steel creature's head is crushed. Lee looked inside the steel monster. Mechanical parts are visible inside. It was a very elaborate and complex interior.

‘These are not creatures. ’

Lee Han tore the limb of the steel monster. The steel creature's head and torso twitch.

I've never seen a structure like this before. Machines are machines... Is that blood or oil? ’

Chip, chip.

The steel monster spills white liquid like blood. I thought it might be oil, but the sticky grain is in the white liquid. The white liquid circulates inside the steel monster.

‘With my current knowledge, I can't identify them. ’

Lee Han pulls out the head of the steel monster. A pile of machinery resembling your spine comes out.

“Aan Harder! ”

Elu says, they look up at Yihan in awe. Lee Han easily defeated the steel monster. Although there were sacrifices, it was good.

‘Certainly a type of monster that is difficult to target. I would have run if I didn't have a psychoframe. ’

The steel monster no longer moves.

Ihan and Elu returned to the village. Throughout the journey, the Elu did not spare the compliment to Ihan.

“Aaron Harther, Viktor Yankeebe. ”

Elu, the punitive force in town, shakes the head of the steel monster high. A festival was held based on news of the successful subjugation.

‘Looks like you've been through a lot with that monster. ’

Eluys thanked Ihan. It was a light battle for Lee, but for Elu, it was a big one. It was like he saved many Elu's lives.

Lee took a break from Elu's hospitality. Lee gave the elder time to understand and observe the iron monster's head.

“Hmm.”

Lee placed the head of the steel monster on the table. Complex internal structure was seen. My head was tingling just looking at it.

‘If it had been Octo, he would have found something. ’

Lee felt helpless. His mechanical knowledge was poor.

The steel creature was clearly a machine, not a living creature. It did not smell or decompose over time. The interior parts were being fitted and fitted neatly. White liquid flows from internal tubes such as blood vessels.

‘I can't tell if I'm looking at it in the white of day. ’

Yihan gave up on identifying the steel monster. He stayed in a Kuraz village for days and learned information. I spoke with people through the elders to confirm the geography of this place and the realm of the dragons.

- If it's the tallest mountain in the area, it's more wood than a mountain. I don't see it now because it's cloudy, but on a sunny day, the trees will be cloudy.

Elder Lee wondered if the trees were taller than the mountains.

“A tree? ”

The trees are older than our tribe's history. We live widely around the world's numbers. Elu doesn't live in the unseen world.

There were more than one number of worlds. There are world numbers all over the world. The high places in the world here were not mountains, but world water.

Lee thought of one trick. There are few ways to specify a nest in the current situation.

‘An unusually high density of psychic energy, where there are many dragons. ’

Dragons have psychic cores. If a nest is the birthplace of dragons, there is a tremendous amount of psychic energy. It is not visible to the naked eye, but can be observed with a psychic tracker.

Lee set two criteria for nest exploration. Inside the Dragon's Territory and where there's a lot of psychic energy. It was likely that these two would be nests. Considering the variables, it was worth trying Lee was going to go up and try to observe.

Lee received guidance from the elders. It was a map written by the tribesmen. It was better than nothing, even if it wasn't detailed.

- The Kuraz always welcome you.

Immediately before Lee Han left, the elder said. Others bowed their heads or waved their hands in gratitude. Lee left the road carrying dried food and drinking water.

Lee Han moved in the direction of the world water. Even though I walked for three days, I couldn't see the world.

‘Elu said it would look good on a clear day. But given that Elu's vision is far superior to that of Humans... I'll need to get closer to observe it with my own eyes. ’

Lee moved using a psychoframe. The activity time of the psychoframe spera was long. It was thanks to lightning fixtures and kinetic drives. It was a half-day's journey, not a battle.

‘If it was another psychoframe, not Spera, we'd have to ditch it and move on. ’

Lee Han confirmed that the sun is setting. He was looking for a place to camp. You cut the ground just right and broke the tree into its cover.

“Ha. I'm tired of this, too. ”

Lee said, taking off the psychoframe. As the day went by, I lost my sense of unity with the psychoframe. He couldn't even maintain it immediately after a fierce battle. Fortunately, it works.

‘I may have a shorter time. No psychoframes, no activity. But if you encounter a dragon barefoot... It's horrible just thinking about it. ’

Lee went steadily, repeating the camp and the journey. I often encountered strange wildlife. I would have hunted if I needed food, but I avoided unnecessary killing. There was plenty of food provided by the Kuraz Tribe. According to them, it is food that is left after going back and forth to the world's water. Dry compressed food was small and suitable for travel.

‘There are many lifestyles that have applied psychic abilities to Elu. I'm applying psychic abilities to my entire life, not just combat. ’

Elu's advanced psychic skills have solved most of the work. Only minor psychic skills make Elu superior to Humans.

‘My sense of psychic use is different from our own. ’

Lee walked thinking and thinking. The sun is setting again.

Well, well.

Lee lay down after finishing eating. I made a place with a leather cloak made by Elu. The cloak was excellent at preventing the morning dew. Lee Han quickly fell down.

“Is that the number of worlds? ”

Lee said in the morning. I rubbed my eyes and looked between the trees. You see a blurry, tall column. It looked like a top at first glance. Without the word tree, it would have been considered an architecture.

Lee hurried to walk. Ihan, who was heading straight for the world water, found Elu Village.

“Nobody. ”

Lee looked at the village for a while. Not at all popular It was strange that there were no people like this, no matter how daytime it was. Lee went into the village armed.

Lee looked around the empty village of Elu. There was no one here. Instead of warmth, there were cobwebs everywhere in the house, and there were often signs of wildlife intrusion. It seems like it's been a while since anyone's been in town.

‘It's a sign.’

The dragon army has many minions under their command. There are all kinds of races and monsters beneath it. They are a group that is mentally contaminated by madness, not voluntary will.

“The Elu's numbers were enormous. That means there isn't one or two Elu villages that have changed like this. ”

Lee was bitter.

‘Maybe the Eluz I killed were just like the Kuraz...' ’

A corner of Lee Han's heart was heavy.

‘I had no choice. If I hadn't killed him, my men and I would be dead. ’

Of course. Ihan would have killed Elu if he had known that Elu was just being used. If you have to choose between the two, you have to save your colleagues' lives.

‘But it still tastes bitter. ’

Lee Han passed through a desolate village.

After that, Lee passed through five more villages. Two were empty, three were living by the Ellu's. Among them, the Elu attacking as soon as they saw this. Lee ran with the psychoframe powered on. I didn't intend to kill unnecessarily.

“Carro! Carrio! ”

Elu followed after Lee, shouting. The Elu's tracking skills are excellent. Lee shakes his head excitedly. The battle is inevitable to keep him apart.

“You won't die. ”

The rope!

Yihan grabbed the tree next to him with one hand. Elu seems to be surprised by its power.

Whee!

Yihan threw a beautiful tree. The elders fly away, swept away by the trees. Several Eluvial jumps away from the trees with ease. Lee was waiting for that jump.

“Here we go! Wave 2!”

Lee immediately threw another tree. The jumping elbows are hit by a tree and fall from the ground.

“Kiyoooo!”

The Elu shout and struggle. Lee Han walked in front of the fallen Elu. The stride was heavy.

Preferred job.

Lee Han crushed the tree. The elbows scream in an explosive shock.

“... If you keep following me, you'll die. ”

Lee cut his throat with his fingers. I took the "kill" gesture. The Elu understood the meaning well enough.

Nod, nod, nod.

The wooden elves nod softly. Lee just lifted up the trees and let the Elu loose. The Eluys quickly flee to recover the wounded.

‘I told you not to follow me, you wouldn't follow me. ’

Lee left in a hurry before the followers arrived.

Four more nights. I've gotten used to the night here. As Lee Han became accustomed to this place, the world began to draw near. Lee walked further, reducing his rest and sleep.

‘Failure is not my only failure. ’

Lee let out a cold breath. He looked at the world water. It was wider in perimeter than the messy building. Trees were endlessly rising over the clouds.

Lee remembered the dead quietly. Death was everyday for him. Someone said the sacrifice was madness. Frenzy, I wasn't wrong. Arc's soldiers are not normal. Risking my life for the mission. They were fortunate enough to complete the mission with their own deaths. The reinforcements who had learned from them and fought together were the same. I was not afraid to die in battle.

It was definitely abnormal behavior. But the situation they were in was also unusual.

‘If I hadn't done that, would I have come here...? ’

Lee Han is outstanding, but not the best. His shortcomings have always been filled by others. Lee knows that.

“World number.”

Lee Hwan recites: He has reached the world waters. All that remains is to climb. I climbed the world like a hike. Climbing for a long time chose a slow and long way up because it was a struggle for Stamina. Jump packs were saved as a precaution.

‘I won't let their deaths be in vain. I'll wrap things up here. ’

Lee Han's pupils glowed. That's why he accepted Silver's offer and request.

‘Even if I can't go back, even if I stay here alone. ’

If you are afraid to sacrifice only yourself, you will be faceless to see the dead. In order not to be ashamed of myself...

No matter how dark and dreadful the path is, it moves boldly. It passes through adversity with the spirit of fortitude. Rarely do people actually say these common words.

Whee!

Lee looked down. It's just above the ground. 800 meters is enough. There's still so much left to climb.

‘What scares me more than death... is that all this has become meaningless. ’

Lee thought, his fingertips tighten.

Omega-1 was easy to say. ‘We can go to war again.’ Lee disagrees with that statement. Don't spit it out.

“Huff.”

Lee stretched out his arms, exhaling. The sea of clouds unfolded before my eyes. It's not the top of the world, but it's high enough. Lee Han sat on the branches of the world's number and leaned against his back. A cold breeze blew in. Lee opened the helmet shield briefly.

“Nice view. ”

Lee Han smiled.

The sea of clouds and the sun three, the faint two moons. An endless number of worlds. It was like a vision.

Enemies.

Lee Han chewed the dried meat. I was calm. My mind was clear as I went up, sweating like crazy.

‘There's only one thing I have to do. Other choices are not worth considering. ’
