The Origin of Species

A tower infused with the blood and tears of stems.

A tower infused with the power of ancient Humans.

Is that why?

The hourglass's blood starts to fall. Dizziness that makes you pinch your vision and attack unstoppable monsters. I wish I could hear the voices, but I have no news. I can't believe you're wasting this much blood just spinning the floor.

This was even higher than the space rainforest.

Somehow the space rain didn't work at the bottom of the tower.

Flips the Sand Glass again, avoiding the monster's attack. He opens his eyes and spits, noticing something strange.

“Ugh.”

Anemia. His salivation is irreversible and he's soaked in his protective shield. A single cylinder that will soon burn through the shield.

Shit. This is a fucking risk.

At this point, I miss my old power. Bonaparte, if I hadn't told him to be lenient. I don't know about him now, but my previous attack was something that overwhelmed the power of time. Is that because the paper is different, too? The temperature was different once it was able to breathe. and cold fires burning at minus temperatures. I was the one who destroyed the common sense that fire needed oxygen, ignition points, combustibles.

Still, I had no choice but to flee the ninth floor of the tower. There were bugs that didn't catch fire. To put it that way, there was no denying that time was good. How powerful is it to just return it to before it's born?

Just when I heard Lindsey's voice.

“Teacher!! Status changer!!"

Oh! Here comes our Lindsey at last. Yes, there was a risk of bleeding, but as long as I had her, I had a chance.

A scalpel cuts an artery in the wrist.

Bloody spill. The hourglass's blood spills again. The moment the base of the tower was originally empty. I turned back the clock to that moment.

But...

“Sir, it's lava!! ”

Like Lindsey said, the floor turns into lava, not air. Unlike what I thought, the Emperor's monster has fallen into lava. Big lava like a very big lake.

Fish profit.

A dark poison rises from his shield.

Glug-ug-ub.

His body begins to sink.

“ @ # % @ # $@ #!! ”

A scream that you don't know the meaning of the monster. At the same time, his arms start to move. I also turned on the radio and shouted.

“Avoid. Monsters moving!! ”

Across the radio, simultaneously, I heard an answer, as well as a bang.

“Sir, look at that. Monsters are getting dragged faster and faster. ”

“Is it accelerating? ”

It was then that the monster attacked again.

His shield remained intact in the lava, and his attack was still powerful. Faster spilling sting attacks. Lindsey also quickly lowered her eyebrows. Lindsey's movements to avoid cooking. She pulls out her pasta sword and jumps high into the muscles of her elastic thighs.

“Haha!”

Kick!

The sound of his shield and sword colliding.

Thump! Thump! Kick!

Lindsey attacks his shield in a row. What if he falls into lava? Her appearance of acrobatics spread over the creature's shield is faint. I returned the beast's attack and supported her as best I could. Due to Lindsey's unprotected nature, it seemed like I was right to help.

“Teacher!! Kill him before he moves his arms again! ”

“Lindsey, he's not playing with his shield. ”

In fact, a little while ago, I thought the shield would be destroyed if I kept attacking him. But not now. That creature has already crossed the line of sight. Is that what you call a "king"? I've been immersed in lava, and soon I'll fall to the 8th floor. All you have to do now is hang in there.

“But a lot of people might die! ”

Yeah, that's the problem.

“Ha.”

You sigh briefly, then flip the hourglass again.

Return Guild, Natsin, Executive Officer, 101st Circuit. And a lot of people in None continent. They are relatively weak here. But considering my risks, I may not necessarily need their help when deciding with the public gardens.

Maybe even the public gardens will take care of it.

In fact, knowing that the public gardens were artificial intelligence made out of technology, there was enough chance that there was a team of robots. An army of robots with shields. There was no choice but to bleed alone to deal with such a large army. The amount of blood pouring out of my body might have dried up.

So I decided to try again for the future.

First, it starts with Lindsey's time.

“Oops!”

She came back to the time she was next to me.

And...

I severed the artery on the other wrist.

Due to the nature of my body that is transcending its seriousness, bleeding will not kill me easily. Besides, if we hang on a little longer, we'll be able to go back to the standby.

Tofu.

Much more of my blood in the sand continues to fall than in the rain.

"Space Rain."

It's not the same range as before.

From the ground with the lower half to the top of the head of the upper body.

I put all that space under my will.

Space that surrounds the monster's entire body.

I keep turning the hourglass upside down and go back in time.

More, more, more!

And in that instant, nothing came into his place.

I'm fine!

The shield of a useless exploding monster. And then it expands to the body of the monster and explodes. Just like the Big Bang in the painting. The beast's flesh spreads in a vortex, and its body fluids become gaseous and disperse. It was like seeing the first universe.

It was then.

Damn it!

A thick crack across the middle of the hourglass.

“Teacher!! ”

Lindsey's voice fades at the same time.

Are you fainting now? I suddenly worry when I lose consciousness.

“Lindsey, protect my heart. ”

Yeah, it is.

I don't fully trust people, except for a few clans.

Saving lives and believing was different.

Because to me, the former was merely reason by my judgment, and the latter was emotion by long-standing affection.

...

“How's the expedition commander doing? ”

“Have a good night. I've already finished my treatment. ”

Lindsey crosses her arms, and the dragon nods coldly.

“Well, that's a relief. We won't be able to break through the ninth floor without him. So, when can I see your face? ”

“Soon, you'll wake up. Then why do you come here so often? Suspiciously.”

“Can I be honest? ”

Lindsey raises her eyes, and the dragon takes a step back.

“Let me be clear, he seems to doubt me. I have no interest in his heart. Rather, I'm suspicious of you. Did you just say" yes "? 'You were going to say? But that's what we have to do, isn't it? He hasn't shown up for more than a week since the treatment was over. ”

Lindsey was ridiculous. I cleverly press what is just my own doubt with the word 'our position.’

‘That's why you said that last time. ’

What the teacher didn't understand at first, now I fully understand.

Your power is beyond belief. Without greed, it was rather unusual. They saw it with their own eyes. The sight of a giant monster disappearing completely, leaving nothing but an arm.

But Lindsey did not forget the look on some people's eyes when they looked at the teacher. The look of greed and jealousy. The first thing that responded to the teacher's collapse was Surin's sister. She quickly summoned Sohee and started giving orders.

Summon everyone in the Battery here.Send only the Teacher and the Empress to the Battery. I knew you'd be cold no matter what. That was the Lindsey I wanted to be an example of. She raises her head and looks back at the dragon.

“Are you really responsible for doubting us? There are others like that besides you? So here's what we're going to do. ”

As Lindsey was about to catch up, the dragon quickly said.

“Well, that's just it. Hmm, I have to go on patrol. ”

A dragon that only talks about itself and falls in love. Lindsey thought that his future poem had already heard his last words. If you are so suspicious, let's move separately from now on.

“Aye. Just wake the teacher up. I'll tell you everything. ”

Other people are fine, but their own health is a problem. In the beginning, they were gathered for the reversal of slavery, a group seeking strength. By comparison, the Supreme Executive Ray was as worried about the teacher as he was about losing his father. Such tendencies were the same at temperature. However, he seemed more concerned about the citizens of the Nonane Empire than he was about the teacher. On the other hand, the people of the homecoming guild were more depressed than they had lost their families. For them, you were a vision and a hope.

Soon Surin came out of a temporary tent made by the members of the homecoming guild.

“Lindsey, was it a dragon? ”

“Yes, I'm annoyed. Seriously, what are you talking about? ”

“Hang in there. I'm patient, too. He's not without his head, he's doing it because he believes in something. But I don't know what it is. ”

“Hmm · · · ·. Did we miss anything? ”

“I don't know. I feel light-headed watching her collapse. ”

“But he gave the order. ”

“Habit. Habit. Don't freak out. ”

Surin rubs his back against the red-blooded eyes. Unlike her strong appearance, she hasn't slept all night.

“Now it's your turn, right? ”

“Yes. Now, let's go see Mr. Jung. ”

Surin's face smiles brightly despite tiredness. They were taking turns nursing the circle. Now the crew was by his side, and it was Surin's turn next. At her behest, Iran was always in the Battery.

“Phew, there's still hope. ”

Lami and Sohee were comforting the hope of crying away from the tent.

“Ahhhh! The clan leader is dead. You've lost your appetite! You haven't eaten anything good in over a million years! ”

“Hope, he's not dead. He's just sleeping. You saw his face yesterday. ”

“Ugh. You just breathe? Clan leader, you can't eat the snacks I gave you. Arrrgh! It's as if he's dead. ”

Sohee pinches the ball of hope.

“This guy. Do you want to keep talking shit? You ate all the snacks! ”

“Hope didn't taste good. I forcefully ate to survive. Without a clan, snacks are tasty. Happiness is over. I have to recharge, but I can't! Dongbaek will be sad, too, playing outside! ”

By the way, Dongbaek was upgrading the happiness lake outside the tower. Surin saw that and quickly stepped in.

“Sohee, I'll take hope with me. Hope, will you continue to cry here? Or are you coming with me? ”

“I follow my sister with hope. I'm not crying anymore. ”

“This guy. If you miss it, you should say you miss it. Is that how we're gonna do it? No?”

Hope held back his tears and responded with a crawling voice.

“· · · · · · · No. ”

“That's right. Good boy. Now, why don't you and your sister go see the clan? If you cry and make as much noise as you did yesterday, should we come back here? ”

“Hope is silent! ”

Surin smiled softly and looked at Sohee.

“Let me go with hope. Sohee.”

“Yes, Mr. Surin. ”

Surin and hope head straight for the secret chamber of the Armory Tower. Then he went to the cottage where he had been lying for a week.

By the way.

What is this groaning coming from somewhere?

“Haang! Uncle. It hurts! It hurts!! Ahhhh!! Ahhhh!"

Surin quickly blocked the ears of hope, but everyone had already heard about it. Nevertheless, he smiled brightly and shouted as if he had heard this many times.

“The Clan is awake!! He's harassing her again. Uheeheehee. Hope wants to harass you too!! ”

Surin shakes his head at the words of hope, but his eyes are smiling. There was so much I wanted to ask him about why he hadn't woken up in a week. And there are cases that need to be handled.

Living a meaningful life in her eyes.

It was such a terrifying look that hope opened its eyes wide.
