Kill the Dragon

“Damn, this is a nest. ”

Lee wiped his mouth.

Nests are not fixed places. Location changes as needed and sometimes does not exist when it is not needed. But this nest stayed in one place for a long time. The scale is enormous. The nest surrounded the entire summit of the rock because it had to resurrect seven Hive in succession.

Poke.

The clear liquid envelope occupying the nest surface clumped together and turned into tentacles. Tentacles move, detecting and exploring the surroundings. The nest was a kind of giant uterus. At its heart was a green lake. Dragons were immersed in the lake where all sorts of organic matter boiled. From dragons near completion to protein masses vary in size.

“Grotesque.”

Lee said honestly. I even smelled an unknown stench. Even the air around you seems to be changing rapidly. Saints

‘We have to force it through. ’

Lee Han confirmed that there was no entrance to the nest. One nest was a giant creature. You don't know what will happen after damaging this giant bionest.

‘I can't even watch. ’

Lee Han reached out to the nest cover. Your right hand is immersed in a translucent liquid. Surprisingly, I entered without resistance. It was easy to get in, but it was difficult to withdraw the arm.

Slow down.

Tentacles and liquids were moving on this arm. Lee tried to break through with his strength.

‘It's hard to get rid of it with strength. It's very viscous.’

Liquid flows through the cracks in the psychoframe. The mucosa stretched along the limb. A viscous liquid permeated the inside of the psychoframe.

‘It is touching the skin directly. ’

Screw you.

Tentacles and liquids suddenly backed off. The tentacles retreat together like sledges.

"Why?"

Even the passageway into the nest opened. The nest was embracing this.

"I am the enemy of the Dragon"? ’

At the moment, the first thought that came into Lee's mind was a trap. The idea was discarded immediately. Earlier, you could have tied yourself with viscous liquids and tentacles. There's no reason to set a trap while opening the interior. If I had been so relieved and arrogant, I wouldn't have suffered this much.

The nest accepted Yihan. Nests and dragons have separate systems. Nests are just responsible for producing and handling dragons. The nest has no will or accident. It only follows a set of command priorities.

There is no way to know the system of such a nest. The nest was an unknown enemy to Ihan. Where dragons are made. It is natural to think of this nest as an enemy.

Bloop.

Lee went into a wet nest. I went deep into my ankle. The floor made of mild mucous membranes was anxious. Lee walked to the green lake barely balanced. It was bigger than any large lake.

"Dragon."

Lee opened his eyes wide. The green lake has a surprisingly high viscosity to say it's a lake. It was like a swamp made of jelly. Beneath it, dragons crouch. Like a fetus in a uterus, it seems to be waiting to give birth.

Bugle, buzz.

The swamp boils briefly. Jihan flinches. The bubbles boil intermittently. The swamp is hot enough to let off steam. Soup of life. Lee Han remembered that word.

‘Kill them before they rise. ’

Lee Han committed murder. He grabs out his spear.

Glug-ug-ug!

Suddenly, the mucous membranes burst into tentacles. Lee was wrapped around a tentacle and could not move. The tentacles forcibly dragged him away.

Yuck, yuck.

The tentacles are tough. The low output of the psychoframe makes it difficult to disconnect. The tentacles stopped Lee from approaching the swamp. Other than that, I let him go free.

I'm just stopping them from killing dragons. Anything else is my freedom. ’

Lee looked around. I could not make out the intent of the nest. Killing dragons will stop them. But I didn't attack Yihan.

"Chair?"

In the center of the nest was a chair. A chair made of bones and flesh made up of nests. It was like a medieval throne. Lee looked at the chair.

‘There was this chair before I got here. The surface is dry and well hardened. I didn't make it for me. This size is.... ’

The chair was not fit by the psychoframe. If I just sat there, the chair would be crushed.

‘It's not even the size of Elu with long arms and legs. A chair the size of a Human... ’

Lee Han's pupils shivered faintly. He closes his eyes for a moment.

“Why?”

You make a sound out of your mouth. I told the nest to listen. The nest does not answer.

“Why is a human chair here? A dragon... wasn't it a human enemy? ”

Ihan was confused. Immediately after coming here, the great chaos reached its limit. Lee looked at the dragons in the swamp with equal eyes.

“Who are you people? ”

Lee dared to flip his helmet over.

‘If I wanted to kill him, I could have killed me ten more times already. ’

The chest of the psychoframe was opened. Lee got out of the psychoframe. The pressure wounds spill like fountains.

Lee Han sat on the floor. The soft mucous membrane touched my cheek.

‘You're hurt worse than I thought. ’

Lee Han collapsed and took a breath. The smell of death approaches. There were voices in my ears. The shivering vision distorted by itself.

“I…. ”

Lee Han raised his upper body on the ground. I stood up straight, shivering.

“I didn't learn how to give up. ”

Lee was limping and walked to the chair.

‘It's not a mission that someone gave me. This is a mission I have given myself. ’

I leaned on the chair with difficulty.

“But if it fails, it's a shame. ”

He laughs.

And the chair worked.

The nest scanned Yihan. Gene level confirmed. It took less than a second for the bioscanner to finish. The nest sprinkled small particles that Jihan could not feel. As the particles dispersed, they penetrated Lee's body. Particles have traveled through blood vessels and into the brain.

Bang!

Lee opened his eyes wide. It looks like someone hit you in the head with a hammer.

Kirik.

I closed my eyes with my palms. There was pain in the retina.

‘This... ’

Lee opened his eyes again. Strange characters floated before my eyes. The helmet shield screen felt like it was imprinted on the retina. The earthquake of pharynx quickly subsided.

‘These are the first texts I have ever seen. ’

There were texts floating on the retina. The characters rotated at a very fast speed. The types of letters were not one or two. From time to time, I seemed to check something as the type of text changed. Some of the letters were familiar in form.

I stopped texting without rest. The pupil response was detected.

[Language set complete]

Lee Han bit his lip. I felt like I was going to scream.

“… English. ”

The letters of the retina have changed. Lee Han changed into a language that he could understand.

[Bioscan match. Confirmed human. Interface Permission level 1 of 1-5. Parent Permission requires additional security commands to be entered.]

Lee checked the messages before his eyes. Messages that were confused were arranged calmly in line with his pupil movements. This limit has become increasingly familiar with the flow of characters.

[Enter command]

[Authorized access]

As Lee Han's pupils moved, the letters followed. Lee reached out his finger and pressed [Access Authorization].

‘It's kind of an augmented reality interface. Did you project the image directly into my retina? Linked to a device in my head I didn't know.... It's a highly developed technology. ’

Lee did not let go of the rope of thought while bleeding. He thought about the current phenomenon.

[Emergency stop]

There was no other choice. His sole authority is to stop the nest.

“What happens if we stop? ”

Lee said, the nest accepted a negative ceremony.

[According to the manual, the institution will be frozen. Self-defense systems are operating at current level. The production line waits indefinitely for the next operating order.]

“What level is the abort order? ”

[Level 5. Excellent power.]

Lee Han found out the identity of the hazy nest. The nest was just a factory. It only produces dragons according to the prescribed instructions.

‘It was us who made this. ’

Lee finally understood the relationship.

"A dragon is a bioweapon made by man to kill man. ’

There's no way to know why the nest and the dragon are out of human control right now. Only humans who had any errors, failed control, failed operations, or controlled someone's evil… whatever caused the nest were all dead. The nest would have been neglected and repeated for many years.

‘Perhaps the last order engraved on the dragon is to kill the Human. ’

It's not uncommon for a human to kill a human being. Humans fought each other endlessly in the perils of destruction and destruction. There is no conceding in a cold conflict. Every scholar once warned us that the nucleus would bring an end to humanity. But man did not give up the nuke. It is because we know that the first to give up is to lose in fear of destruction.

“When was the last order of the nest? ”

Nests are not encyclopedias. Lee didn't have any information that I was curious about. I only had the information I needed to get to the bioweapons plant. Some of the questions didn't even come up.

[The orbital cycle will be calculated as 24/7. The following results are: -45,083 23 hours, 2 minutes and 9 seconds ago, a Level 5 Authority was accessed.]

40,000 years ago, Lee Han smiled helplessly.

“What modifications have been made to this authority? ”

[Level 1 inaccessible.]

Lee turned his head back for a moment. I close my eyes, and there is fatigue.

“How big a future is this? Damn it..."

I felt like I was going to cry. Lee opened his eyes with a pale face. The shimmering psychic energy from his pupils sinks.

This place is a peaceful future despite being cut off from the past. The true otherworld was only five dimensions that Kuro summoned in some sense. The world that follows the Dimensional Gate is either the future or the past, or only one of them. We didn't even recognize each other in the past or the future. Other time worlds that were disconnected from continuity were like two worlds for humans and dragons.

Have we left Earth? Or were you forced to give up? This is a future I can't even imagine. ’

The nest recognized Lee Han as a human. Biologically, this was a human being. Only humans have the power to engage in the nest.

‘The future is unimaginable, but human behavior is unimaginable. ’

Humans are animals. Biologically, they are the same humans as we are today. Maybe 40,000 years ago, it was not far from this world. Allogeneic where biological differentiation does not occur.

“Then there must be a war here, too. ”

It was Lee's hypothesis. There was a war here. Various stages were involved. Dragons are one of them. Robots called steel monsters are also weapons of the past. Maybe some of those creatures called minions are bioweapons. Armored goats for war have brought destruction. Even psychic abilities can be part of the development of such weapons.

‘The end of that psychic ability is the collapse of the world. ’

Lee saw it clearly. The power to bend the laws of physics is treason. The world itself cannot stand it. Do future humans know that?

“I'm full of curiosity, but I have no way of knowing what happened. ”

Lee said helplessly. He knows the nest is linked to him. The nest stops at one command. There are no more humans left on this planet. If the nest is stopped, there is no one to turn it back on.

‘That's it. ’

I desperately wanted to. I prayed for the happiness of those who remained. If you are not jealous of the people who will live tomorrow, you are lying. But jealousy was humble compared to his other feelings. In complex and multifaceted emotions, Lee found the right heart. I was not jealous and envious of those who would live by their sacrifice.

Wood Duck.

Lee Han narrowed his eyes. A large reptile's hand escapes from the swamp. A dragon hive opens its eyes. Even the leather's color hasn't come out right yet. The gray leather is imperfect and blood is spilled.

The Hive felt some danger. It was possible because it was a hive. The Hive was born with a deformity of existing dragon organisms. The hive is not perfect, but it can be maneuvered by the body of a dragon. The hive, in imminent danger, is escaping the swamp. The liquid floods and shakes.

Kuoooooooo!

Lee looked at Hive. I couldn't figure out what he was because he had no color.

‘But I know you hate me. You must hate me for dying. It's not about commands carved into your brain anymore. He hates me without it. Of course it is.’

Lee smiled, revealing his teeth. He taunts the Dragon Hive. I stopped laughing as I shrugged my shoulders. He tilts his head and looks at Hive's eyes.

“Likewise, I hate to see you die. ”

Lee Han chose an emergency stop. The nest has accepted the order. Suddenly, the swamp freezes over. Even the dragon hive, which took out half of its body, froze cold. The Hive stretches out its arms with all its last strength.

Oops.

The huge nails of the Dragon Hive stopped in front of Lee's eyes. Lee looked at the tip of the dragon's fingernails without blinking an eye. It was an unbelievably intense look in my eyes. Lee looked at the frozen dragons.

Gooooo.

Suddenly, the nest was filled with only cold air. Lee Han breathed out mixed breath. As the temperature inside the warm nest drops, his temperature plummets rapidly.

Lee's cheeks froze because they were not pale. He thought of a bear.

The mission is over. I'm tired now.

I looked at the psychoframe spera waiting for its owner. I remembered what Okto said.

“Spera. ”

It means hope. There's a smile.
