- The last one, "Outlander".

Now there is only one half-breed with imperial blood who can appear in this apocalyptic world.

Dressed in a maple-colored kimono that is not suitable for moving in the woods, a pair of paulownia-colored clogs with cotton socks on his feet, and a small blood-red horn on his left forehead, a delicate young man walks out of the ruins that hides his body.

Yuan Zhinu stood in the barren shadows behind her, with an awe-inspiring look on her beautiful face.

"Do you know ...... 'me'?"

Bu Shun smiled at the vigilant Yuan Zhinu and said meaningfully: "I know more than you think. ”

After speaking, he stretched out his right hand to the Yuan Zhinu, "Since you can come here, it means that you are also the chosen one." Wouldn't it be a good idea to walk alone in this apocalyptic world, and to walk with me for a while? ”

"Doomsday?"

Yuan Zhinu pursed her lips, stared at the man with a strange white-haired cat-eared girl in front of her, and hesitated: "...... Can you tell me more? ”

After separating from Lu Mingfei, he was not mentally ready to return to the cage of another self, but when he found that he had "vision" again, he had already come to this completely unfamiliar place.

He was quick to accept the experience of appearing in Kivotos, but the danger of this place was far greater than he had imagined.

The instinct brought by the purity of dragon blood reminded him of some terrible creatures sleeping in this area. The breath floating in the thick fog is like a temporary storm, and the heartbeat is like the beating of the drum of doom, which naturally awakens the fear engraved in the veins of such a small thing as human......

It was a long memory of the time when humanity had not yet become a human being, crawling and struggling at the feet of a giant object.

The innate instinct of the half-breed made the source girl know the name of the sleeping beast.

- Dragon.

He was eager to know more about the situation, how to leave, and even more so to know if his separated partner and his new friend had also arrived.

"Absolutely."

In response to the plea of the studious student, Bu Shun smiled and nodded, giving people a feeling of being extremely gentle and polite: "I am used to solving the doubts of others. ”

It's better to say that the doubts of the source girl are his wishes.

The mirror realm has covered reality, and the only people who can access the copy are the members of the literary society related to Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang, as well as Professor Guderian.

But in reality, no one else can enter, and the mirror copy itself can accommodate another "traverser...... In this script that he has laid down so far, how can he let the student Yuan Zhinu stay out of the matter?

And just as he thought.

Yuan Zhinu kept a distance of one or two bodies and kept up with Bu Shun's footsteps.

Smoke and gravel roam freely in this dead world, and there is no life in sight along the way, and even the most tenacious weeds have died in the cracks of the stone under the mist.

Walking deeper into this barren ruin with Bu Shun, the more Yuan Zhinu advanced, the more she felt an inexplicable chill.

Life seems to be swallowed up by something intangible, and death is replaced here by dead silence, as if entering a realm that the living should not step into.

In Ruri Kazama's memories, he had seen the crazy ghosts, the cannibals, and even the dead attendants who had slept in death and were driven by the superiors...... But even Ruri Kazama, who calls herself the "Dragon King", has not really experienced the power of the "Dragon Clan".

"You're wondering, the enemy is strong, right?"

Along the way, Bu Shun also informed Gen Zhinu about Kismes Island and the Misty Apocalypse, and at the same time felt his uneasiness.

In this regard, he just calmly recounted the facts, "However, the truth is that in the world where the dragon is no longer there, the hybrids who think they dominate the world have lost the concept of [strong]. ”

"When they burned the discovered subgenitals into statues in South Africa and put the found dragon fetuses in formalin's cans, they had a kind of arrogance that became 'gods' who could control the fate of dragons."

Humans, do you really understand dragons?

Half-bloods, can they really recognize the power of dragons?

Bu Shun had already experienced a lot of copies of the [Dragon] element, and those performances that were different from those recorded in the novel made him deeply aware of the weakness of human beings.

"It is true that the hybrids can be said to have conquered the incomparable and powerful enemies of the past through their proud technology and alchemy technology, just like hunting a Tyrannosaurus rex with tanks and planes."

He stretched out a hand and grasped a red apple that suddenly fell on his palm, and pressed his five fingers: "Wisdom and knowledge, the greatest weapon of human beings to conquer nature with their weak bodies, the crystallization of thousands of years of culture......"

"It's like a fruit like this, it's beautiful, isn't it?"

Yuan Zhinu looked at the red fruit that was pinched in Bu Shun's hand, and the extraordinary vision given to him by the imperial blood made him clearly see the cracks on the apple that were silently cracking.

"You want to say that the crystallization of human wisdom is nothing more than beautiful in the face of the powerful power of dragons, and as long as you pinch it lightly, it will be shattered?"

He understood what Bu Shun meant, but he had even greater doubts.

Bu Shun answered the question in his heart before he asked, "In the hundreds of thousands of years that dragons have dominated your planet, or even longer, are they just a group of beasts that drink blood?" ”

Gen Zhinu was silent, according to the education that Ruri Kazama received, it seems that the half-breeds of this era think so.

"Dragons are nothing more than a group of powerful beasts, and even like to kill each other, and it is only through their powerful bloodlines and hidden spiritual abilities that they have become the masters of the world."

"But we are different, we possess human wisdom, we have kindled the flames with stolen fire, and we have put an end to those arrogant beasts on their thrones with knowledge and technology."

- That's what most of the half-breeds are told.

Even the fact that the dragon king possessed wisdom that was not inferior to that of human beings was not convinced by the fact that it was only regarded as a kind of "inference" written in a secret document, and only circulated among a small number of people.

In the hearts of many people, dragons are completely equal to a group of beasts that have been eliminated by the world.

"'Not inferior to others'...... Ha ha. ”

Bu Shun's face rarely showed emotions other than a smile, and he sneered, "Don't you think this kind of arrogant idea is ridiculous?" When man writes such a declaration, he has already put all other living things under himself, and has considered himself the master of all things......"

"Even in the history of the half-breeds, they were originally just toys for the dragon king, a bunch of slaves that were not so useful?"

Yuan Zhinu couldn't accept this overly naked tone, and couldn't help frowning, "This gentleman, I'm not here to listen to you tout the dragon clan!" What I want to know is the state of the world, how it got to the end of the world......"

But before he could finish speaking, the young man's voice suddenly froze there.

In the man's smile, the source girl gradually realized an answer that was actually very obvious-

He shouted with some incomprehension: "The end of this island is because of the dragon clan?!" ”

It was at this moment, when they walked together for a long time, and in the center of the intersection of the high-rise buildings and the ruins of the street, a huge cavity with constant fog and air currents suddenly appeared in their field of vision.

The dim sky could not illuminate the bottom of the cavern, and it was incompatible with the ruins and nature, and could not be considered a creation of nature or man.

The cave that greeted the eyes of the young girl was like the entrance to the abyss.

Bu Shun stopped in front of the hollow, hugged his chest with one hand, pushed the frame with his raised right arm, and said indifferently: "It's a bit biased to describe this island, one of the factors why this world has ushered in the end is the [Dragon]...... Once fate is decided, the world will follow its trajectory and change into what it should be. ”

"This is the end of the world, and the 'dragon' is the arbiter and terminator of all life here."

He stared at the huge cave in front of him where the unknown dragon was sleeping, and said softly like a teacher who taught him, "Now and only in such a world can you see true power...... a corner. ”

It's not just dragons that are strong.

- And "I".
