The Origin of Species

The chunks crumbling white from the hillside. The beginning was small, but over time it was creating a catastrophic event.

It was an avalanche.

The scene was visible even from a little distance. And then Faye starts to rumble behind Iran.

“Heeeeek! Your Highness. Let's go, let's go! ”

“Don't whip me. I'm going as fast as I can. How is that possible, by the way? · · I can't imagine what you must be like. ”

In the meantime, Lindsey and I concluded a status exchange. Shinwoo's brother touched his hat and looked at the avalanche.

“Is there really Leo? ”

“Well, if we're lucky, the avalanche will hit him, and if it's bad, we'll just move on. Well, we got nothing to lose. Do you really think he's gonna die in this kind of attack? What I'm after are the soldiers of the SS. Honestly, we're not afraid of one Leo anymore, are we? It's about the lifespan of tens of thousands of people. ”

In fact, when life force was exerted through the tool, it was in no way negligible. Especially if the muscles turn like steel, but we get hurt when the life force breaks through. If the head or heart was pierced, it was instantaneous.

What worries me is that more than a few of the originals acted like soldiers. Using appropriate tactics, not silent movements. Then even the space to avoid life force could be eliminated.

At that time, Shinwoo's brother suddenly narrowed his eyebrows, looking at the avalanche.

“Isn't Marca there? ”

“Brother.”

Xinwoo's brother looked surprised when I hung up on him briefly. And I scratched my head and apologized.

“Oh, sorry. It keeps happening these days. It's because I'm old. ”

“You said you'd try hard the other day. That's what you said when you heard about Payne. ”

“I did. Something's been slumming ever since I got out of the fence." Are the people in the well okay or is your mother okay? · · ”

I sigh briefly as I look at him touching his neck. We need to quickly forget about the problem we can't solve and focus on reality. Maybe we should have a proper consultation with my brother sooner or later.

"Hmm, did you feel deprivation from the armory? ’

In fact, the clans were all getting stronger. One day, the sailors were stronger than any other carnivore, and Fei was also learning to grow and help in combat. Bonaparte's heat rose fiercely, and Surin's combination with my powers was good.

The power of water has been helping at least by Eiran's joining us, but he's not making much of an effort at the Battery. Wasn't the power of water more vivid, especially for woodmen?

When I thought about him for the first time, the strongest of us, I thought I might feel a sense of self-esteem. Though he considered the overall power of the clan the most important, his own might as well have considered it. In fact, Shinwoo never stopped practicing.

It was then.

“Fuck you, man. Hey, look! What the hell is that? ”

All eyes of the clan follow her fingers on the horse. And some clans open their eyes. And hope cried out in excitement.

“Heehee. Snowballs in the sky! ”

Lami closed his mouth to such hope, and he could not keep his mouth shut. I watched the avalanche freeze at some point and thought Leo would be there. Fortunately, during the avalanche that was falling everywhere, there were snowflakes that struck the SS.

“Snowball! Snowball! Town!”

“Hope. Quiet! ”

Lami once again opens her mouth, gagging at hope.

“How is that possible · · · ·. I can't ignore Leo's power. That's why the avalanche your Clan created won't work. ”

“No, I'm sure it's worth it. Lami.”

“Yes?”

“You're transcendent, too. There are risks to every transcendent power. ”

I didn't care if Leo survived there. I thought only the soldiers of the SS could be killed in the first place, and I didn't want Leo to die. However, we may be able to ascertain some of his risks because of this.

No matter what I thought, Surin was counting his time. Lindsey was also wagging her fingers at the avalanche.

One minute, two minutes, ten minutes passed. The sailor folds his arms as he inflates the ball.

“Mister, I think that's too fucking much. I can stop that size for more than 10 minutes. ”

“Hmm · · ·. I think you might be overreacting. Looks like the SS are making time to evade. ”

“Dammit. What are his risks?" I wonder if she even knew anyone. ”

Obviously, when we first met Leo, Iran said he didn't know his risks. Maybe he's using his own lifespan, like Iran. It was frankly the same without risk as long as there were refined stones.

But Iran said his risk wouldn't be lifespan. He said he was no longer eating refined seats at the end of the hall.

Kuku Ball Bow.

The halted avalanche starts to move again. And Surin opened his mouth.

“Sam, it's 20 minutes. ”

...

We have returned to our destination. I didn't think I could kill Leo, but I did. I knew he could use his mind for at least 20 minutes, and I knew that if I could bleed out infinitely, I could completely destroy the sulfuric acid. Moreover, Leo should have seen a considerable decrease in the likelihood of pursuit.

“Soon, I think we will arrive at our destination. ”

Iran is slowing down Bricksha. And he squeezes his lips and keeps looking in the rearview mirror. He seemed quite concerned that someone might be coming after him. Then the seaman shrugged his shoulders and spoke to her.

“My lady, there are no ants around us. Relax."

“Oh, thank you for your concern. ”

“Well, I keep looking in the mirror, and I get more anxious. Tsk.”

There was still a blizzard outside the window. Do ants live in places like this? I suddenly became curious, but realized it was a useless idea and thought about Nerson. What kind of person he is, what kind of power he has.

It's the first time I've actually met him, but I may have met him in the past. As a relationship between the commander and his men.

Bricksha stops. But in front of me, there was still a blizzard of white land. The clans tilt their heads and look at Iran. She looks at the rearview mirror again and opens her mouth.

“The wooden house is that way. Looks like we got here before the first time. ”

The place she pointed to was like a white stone tomb. Iran starts spreading his eyes from above. Only then did the clans realize that the house was buried in the snow.

“Ehey. I'm perfect for this. ”

Soon after Pei left, the roof of the wooden house was revealed. And soon I was able to dig down to the entrance.

Kiririk.

Door opens.

As soon as the clan members set foot inside the house, everyone shouts.

“Hiic, it's cold! It's cold! ”

“Fuck. I'm freezing. ”

“Sir, it's so cold. ”

“Bonaparte, hurry up and do something. Ugh. We're freezing our mouths off, Sam. I see you're keeping your mouth shut. ”

The house has been empty for a long time, and the arrow-pricking Han Ki has attacked us. Like Surin said, it was so cold that I couldn't even speak. I thought the blizzard was cold outside, but this place was even worse. Bonapas soon floated several flares into the air.

“Guys, it's gonna be okay in a minute. ”

“I hope so soon. Gentlemen, let's sit on that couch over there. Luckily, it's a long couch. ”

Surin says the clans head for the couch. Then I sat down and trembled all over. Then Surin called me, tapping his side seat.

“Sit right here. ”

There was her upper lip. Something seems to have changed. Of course, there was no need to refuse. Lindsey was looking at us with such a eager look. It was at that moment that Iran pulled out the soundlink.

[Yes, Iran.]

“Now, where are you? Did something happen? ”

[No, I'll be there in a minute.]

“You said that before. ”

[It's real now. Really, I was afraid you'd be worried. Hmm, looks like you guys have already arrived. I'll be there in five minutes.]

Whether he was telling the truth or not, the sailor said.

“Someone's actually approaching. Two of them. One of them looks a little tired. ”

Each clan member sits on the couch twisting their legs or crossing their arms. Although it was said to be dying, it was the head of a group. And you're serious, aren't you? Suddenly, a sailor woke up on the couch.

“Coming.”

At the same time, all the clans stood up and watched the door.

Kiririk.

With the sound of the door opening, I can see the first face. And the man with the puppy eyes behind his back. At that moment, Iran picks up a Class S refinery stone and rushes to Nerson. Dongbaek, who was delighted to see that, told us.

“Haha. It's been a long time. And how has the sailor been? ”

“Yes, Dongbaek grandfather. ”

But now I see only Nerson eating a Class S refinery stone. Scaled face and pudgy, dry arms and legs. He can't even open his eyes properly. He can't say a word to Iran.

Was he hit in the abdomen? ’

I thought I saw Lindsey's face, but she was already shaking her head. Status exchange means no communication. What if they have multiple poisons like that? I felt I had to be quite careful.

I think the treatment effect of the Refined Stone is starting to make Nerson's body glow. Everyone at home watched the scene.

The old man with the puppy eyes.

He's a golden boy, just like Iran, so I thought he might have red eyes, but his wet hair has turned half empty. The same was true of the beard that came down to the top of the chest.

Was it from the poison? ’

Even though it is true, fine lines around the eyes and dry skin make our eyes awkward. Literally because he looked like a sick old man now. Luckily, the S-grade refining stone worked, or he soon opened one eye.

At that moment, I felt the room become clearer. Wouldn't he be pretty miserable if he were healthy? Well, I didn't have one eye, so I thought it would be quite powerful.

His one eye rolls from side to side and stops at Iran.

“Ah · · · · · · · · · · · · egg · · · · ·. ”

“Yes, Grandfather. It's going to be okay. Those thugs helped us. ”

“You · · ·. Maybe in the tower. ”

“Yes. I entered the tower. I wandered around the tower for almost a year. I wouldn't have been able to do it alone without him, without them. ”

Airan squeezes the corners of Nerson's clothes. Her red eyes darken. Nevertheless, my eyes were bright and lively.

Why do you feel so uneasy? Strangely, I didn't feel like seeing my granddaughter and grandfather. At that moment, Nerson did his best to touch Iran's arm.

“Really · · · · in · · · gone · · · ·? ”

“Yes.”

“Rot · · · ·. ”

“Yes?”

Iran's eyes are wide open, but Nerson's eyes are already on us. And where it came from, I screamed out loud.

“Oh, shit! Which one of you took my granddaughter?! ”

“Grandfather, that's him. I had sex with him. And I was happier than I thought. Very much · · ·. And I want to keep having sex. ”

Iran's answer without hesitation.

So this is what originated women look like?

Somehow.

I felt like I was interviewed at the hospital for the first time.

It seemed that Nerson was just an ordinary grandfather before he was a true grandfather and head of Natsin. But · · ·. Well, I don't know what to do.

I confidently told him.

“Sir, it's over. The rice is ripe and ready to go. ”

Iran shudders for another drink and turns red.

“Grandfather, she was going to get me pregnant. I really want to have her baby. ”

“Well, what!! ”

I almost screamed, too, following Nerson. Perhaps I should have taught Iran to lie first. But first things first. I wiped my smile and opened my mouth to him and Iran.

“The key, that was the price of a Class S refinery stone. I heard you have it. Hand it over now. ”

Airan nods and looks at Nerson.

“Grandfather, you have to give him the keys. A promise is more precious to me than life. ”

Nerson closes his eyes on his forehead. Whether it was his personality or his origins, he seemed to soon regain his composure. Soon after, he opened his eyes and said,

“You must keep your granddaughter's promise. I just hid the keys in some kind of place, so it's gonna take some time. ”

No, what are you talking about?

It was then that he added a strange word.

“But you. Have you ever met me? You look familiar. ”
