My Range is One Million

Chapter 239: Dangerous Choice – #2

#1

*Vrrrroooom*

An old SUV was driving through a desert.

It originally had been a highway, but the United States lost its ability to manage the roads that connected each state after the Great Confusion and had no choice but to tolerate the return of human civilization to the bosom of nature.

*Screeeeech*

“This is fun.”

L smiled gently while driving.

Human interests were so much fun. Dragons that live for more than a million years polymorph into other races to live their lives and enjoy the game. L also used to do that sometimes. Because she had lived dozens of lives, it took her 10 minutes to learn how to drive a car.

She was planning to go to Las Vegas.

She could go faster through teleporting through space, but she purposefully enjoyed the slow ride.

“Haah… Baeklin had some good stuff like this…”

She whiffed a small cigarette in her hand and threw it out the window.

Marijuana is incomparable with tobacco. Polymorphed, but her power as a dragon did not go anywhere. However, this joint makes even her strongest body hazy. It has become a new form of entertainment for this heavy smoking dragon.

“I’d have come more often if I didn’t make a pledge with him.”

If she had known about all these fun things beforehand, she would never have signed a non-interference agreement. The pledge that she made with Baeklin prevented her from interfering with human affairs unless she was harmed by them.

It was a covenant made with a human who would only live for 100 or so years, so she responded lightly under the condition of receiving the earth’s mysterious product called tobacco.

And now the covenant was breaking down little by little.

“Well, I did intend some but …”

It was the United States that Baeklin was most concerned about. This was a country originally born from invasion, so Baeklin said that they would probably do the same in Elus.

Of course, she was playing the role of a bystander when they showed up in Elus.

Just as expected, they killed her temple knights, who were basically L’s own hands and feet, solely for their own gain.

She could have come out, but she didn’t.

This was because her curiosity for human beings was greater than that of the pledge with Baeklin.

“That’s annoying by the way.”

She enabled a magic spell with her bored eyes. A golden sphere was formed at the tip of her finger that lit up the newly opened marijuana.

“Find a human being.”

*ppshhhh*

The golden sphere exploded, and the hemispherical halo was scattered in all directions.

Everything that the halo passed through was painted in her mind.

Before long, a smile crept around her mouth.

“There it is.”

Outside a considerable distance, she detected a human colony. Of course, to her, they seemed to be a bunch of annoying things.

“Hoohoo, let’s try attacking.”

L smiled lightly and accelerated, making the SUV jump on the sand dune.

As soon as their attack begins, this fun ride will end soon, so L was trying to enjoy it as much as possible.

Did they know that she was trying to expose herself from her attacks?

“After this attack, the covenant will be broken.”

The covenant with Baeklin was broken, but it was not completely done. This was due to the difference in the vessels of souls between humans and dragons; the dragons have much larger vessels, so it was an unfair promise to begin with.

The humans do not know, but the amount of magic she can use at the global level was limited by the covenant, and that covenant breaks down the more she attacks humans.

In the end, after all the pledges are broken, she intends to summon a huge meteor towards the United States to display her strenght.

“After that, I’m going to tear off some weird things here and take some useful humans.”

And Jean Tefman, the director of the US Hunter Secretariat, whether he is aware of what L was thinking or not, thinks that this was a golden opportunity to attack her and was carefully watching hundreds of large trailers lined up.

The specially made trailers had heavy armor plates that couldn’t be compared to the original trailers, which seemed to be specifically designed to trap something inside rather than to defend itself from outside attacks.

“Doctor, are you sure about the controls? If that is not controlled, the United States would be making its worst enemy,” Jean Tefman asked at the bald old man in a laboratory coat standing by his side.

“You don’t have to worry about it. Those biological controls in their brain will certainly work in any situation,” Doctor said confidently.

“Good. I’ll believe in your work for the past 30 years.”

“Haha, of course. Trust me. I also have my life on this.”

Jean Tefman, who nodded at Doctor’s promise, turned to the trailers.

The things in there were a lifelong masterpiece of the Doctor.

The things, called mutants, began with finding ways to eradicate Elus and Dark Earth monsters in a biological way. He was trying to make a kind of pesticide.

No matter how similar their biological roots were, bacteria, viruses, and many other microorganisms had developed in their own way of surviving and propagating. For example, many humans died of diseases from Elus and Dark Earth. It’s gone now because the vaccines have been developed, but that’s if the Earth vaccines apply equally to both Earth and Dark Earth.

But the research soon came to halt…

The reason for this obstacle was the self-healing and defense that one could have using mana. Weak monsters were fatally affected by the disease, but the monsters of the high tiers were strong even against them.

The research continued by using monsters that used mana to heal themselves and at some point, the awakeners who could use mana were used as test subjects as well. Of course, mainly villains were secretly taken out and used as experiments, but they still unethically used humans for their experimentation.

Some mutants were ready for commercial use, but they could not be publicly marketed since they were made using unethical means.

“This should be free from mistakes.” This was a crucial issue for Tefman also.

“No way. do not worry.”

If they could use the full power of what they are claimed to be capable of, the Gold Dragon would be defeated.

“I’ll start it off.”

“I’ll begin the preparations,” said Doctor.

“All troops aboard!”

Jean Tefman screamed through the headset. Hunters from the Secretariat and the researchers from the laboratory hurried into the helicopter. It was now Doctor’s turn now that the helicopters found themselves in the air. When the doctor instructed the researchers, he opened the trailers all at once by remote control.

Kukung

Kiaak!

3-meter tall biped monsters with milky white skin poured out of the trailer.

It looked like a milky white human moving on its skeletal frames. They have no hair. They were similar to humans, but their eyes are red entirely and have long tongues around the area that’s supposed to be their mouth.

KRrrrrrr …

A total of five mutants were confined to each trailer and the ones that came out screamed and radiated, possibly irritated by the sun. Then, they faced each other and growled as if they’re having a conversation.

“Disgusting”

“You’ll change your mind once you see what they could do.”

“No thanks. With that appearance, we can’t present them anywhere”

Tefman had seen them a few times in advance, but when they were released at about 500 at once, it was truly a sight. They were just a terrible hybrid. The Dr despised Tefman who was frowning at the mutants. No matter how disgusting their appearance was, they were precious results from the decades of his work.

‘You’ll see. If you only see the mutants’ ability, you will be forced to use them again.’

He was confident. Those monsters less than five tiers could not even approach these mutants. Their breath was literally a bacterial weapon so if they would approach them within a 10-meter radius, they would melt. Not only that, Mana-based high-ranking monsters were assumed to be their enemy, so all the attacks that use mana could be absorbed as energy for their own self-healing. It had its own regenerative cells, so its resilience would be comparable to a troll.

In addition, its pure physical capacity could contest the power of a six-star hunter and since they used human cells to make them, some of them could even use a hunter’s ability. Their defensive skills, borrowed from monsters, were strong enough that it could stop exploding attacks.

They were a masterpiece that cost him all his life.

If they had reached a human level of intelligence, he would have gone out himself to stop them.

“Start.”

“Yes.”

Jean Tefman leaned back and said to the radio, “Track… Target”

As the researchers manipulated the panel under his direction, the scrambled mutants turned their heads in one direction.

“KWWWAAAAA!!!”

The mutants suddenly fell to the ground and began to scream.

“What happened!”

“Huehuehue, please wait a moment.”

*bone crumbling*

A thin spear ripped and protruded from their backs. Usually, it was hidden under the spine but now, it spread out wide open that soon turned into wings.

After a while, the 500 mutants soared into the air at the same time with a loud cry. They were so fast that some of the researchers could not even see them.

“That wasn’t one of the original powers, no?!” Jean Tefman shouted because he had never heard of mutants flying in the air.

“Huh, it’s just a small ability that we added so they could catch aerial monsters.”

“Hmm, you can increase their ability that easily…”

“Do not miss a single live data.”

-Okay.

All battles from now on would be a valuable cornerstone for the future mutants upgrades.

“Hehehe, show your powers to the world.”

Dr. let out a creepy smile as if he couldn’t help but feel proud that his creations were finally put into practice. The flying Gold Dragon with magical powers was a great test case to show the power of mutants.

But looking back at him, Jean Tefman contends that he can never put those things into the future of American attacks again. The moment the mutants tear the Gold Dragon apart, he planned to turn both them into dust.

‘They’re too dangerous. Use it only this time and discard all materials once we’re done.”

He hardened his thoughts and just like that, an hour went by.

“Nonsense!” Dr. grabbed the screen with his trembling hand.

The mutants he created for his 30 years of research were torn apart on the screen.

What was the point of having self-healing abilities like a troll? What was the point of being an unapproachable biological weapon?

The mutants couldn’t even reach out to the woman who was supposed to be the Gold Dragon. She didn’t even get out of the old SUV.

It was as if there was a tight mesh that’s invisible in the air. No, rather, it was a storm of invisible blades. The charging mutants were literally being grounded but since their commands were hardwired into their brains, they rushed in even though they’re being torn apart.

The mutants he was so proud of could not even bear one of the dragon’s magic. Contrary to the doctor’s opinion, the mutants did not absorb the magic of the dragon at all.

This happened because of a lack of knowledge of the dragon in the first place. Dragons were beings who have set foot in the realm of God.

And such, dragons do not use magic.

‘Dragon spell’

God’s language which manifests itself solely by will.

“Tear and fly away.”

L’s single word for the rushing mutants was now pushing Dr. into a hollow of despair.

‘Unbelievable…’

Even Jean Tefman, staring at the screen with a devastated kneeling doctor, was amazed by the unbelievable power of the dragon. The mutants he was confident about died without even touching L.

‘I have to use it quickly.’

There was no time to spare.

The original plan was to pour missiles over the mutants if those mutants killed the Gold Dragon. Since it was not a city center but a desert, he could use conventional weapons all around.

But looking at the current situation, it seemed like he didn’t even have a chance.

*Click*

Tefman manipulated the frequency of the headset and said, “Start Operation Trinity under the authority of the US Secretary of State, Jean Tefman. Authorization code A4325FA98 … The goal is to eradicate the Gold Dragon. ”

—Authorization code confirmed. Let’s start Operation Trinity.

“No!!”

Now lost in despair, Doctor yelled and attacked Jean Tefman.

“KUuukkk”

However, he flew away with bloody mouth by a light sack coming from the one he wanted to attack.

“Take him out”

“Yessir!”

Tefman’s escort Hunters dragged out the fainted doctor as he looked at him in disgust.

“All forces move out of the scope of a nuclear attack.”

“Yessir!”
