<Infinite Dendrogram>

Episode XI: The Kingdom of Alter

□ Alter Kingdom [Holy Knight] Ray Sterling

I saw a terrible brutal fight.

Me and Luke saw the footage of Marie on the crystal she put on the tabletop and honestly pulled it off.

First, the direct hit of the chain quickly minced the bulk of the PK.

The footage alone didn't make any noise, but that's like an old movie and I'm afraid the other way around.

If the encounter hadn't prevented the blow of Shira in the Tomb Labyrinth, I'd be at the same end of the road as this PK.

Next, the PK clan leader like big armor and Mr. Figaro were relative, and the armor attacked Mr. Figaro with a gap after the two of them talked about something.

According to Marie's commentary, the armor is a player known for its middle name, and the power of a special attack is remarkable, especially when it is released counter-feeling from defense and proximity.

That narrative gave me a little intimacy in the armor, but shortly afterwards I was tragically killed.

First, they avoid a special hit.

The next thing I know, they lift me up to a height that doesn't show up on the camera in chains, sprinkling blood splashes and pieces of flesh with chainsaws where I've fallen... it's two straight things, like some shark movie.

I wondered if that was possible with a chainsaw, but I had no choice but to do it.

The grossing image also seemed like a future projection if Mr. Figaro and I fought.

"As a result, the Castle was wiped out in the south. When you come back, you won't have any more hands here."

I guess so.

If we block southern traffic, Mr. Figaro will be out again.

"The next time I go to the city called Duel City, I have to thank Mr. Figaro."

"Really?"

I spoke to Nemesis, but for some reason I am unfaithful.

Nemesis had been dining with Babi from the beginning that seemed uninteresting.

The amount you eat is the same as usual.

But it also looks like some sort of self-absorbing meal.

Why not?

"Next time, then"

Marie's next reflection was a familiar place.

The hunting ground I started and used to level up, the Easter Plains.

There was still a PK population there as well.

They are the only ones that have been shown on camera, but they are waiting for their prey while hiding so that the players can't see them.

Then another group emerged from the king's capital.

I don't know the exact number of the population, but there are at least a few hundred of them, marching together.

They uniformly wore clothes with a pattern of "Three Days and Closed Eyes”.

I felt like I looked familiar with that pattern, but I can't remember.

The PK group was upset while hiding in a group that suddenly appeared.

Then a woman walked out of the "Three Days Moon and Closed Eyes” group.

He stretches his dark hair to about the length behind his knees, reminiscent of the darkness at night, and wears a kimono like twelve.

She was a beautiful woman who associates herself with the Kaguya princess of Miyagi.

She raised her right hand softly.

Then the world turned dark.

The sun should certainly have risen to the brink, but it is “night”.

In the “night” that suddenly appeared, there was a pale full moon whose reality could barely exist in this world.

Shortly afterwards, a group of PKs lit by pale moonlight hold down their throats and suffer, and they can't move.

Then a group of "Three Days and a Closed Eye” moves out, and finds the suffering PK and kills them one after the other.

That was already a task.

Hundreds of people are going to kill the PKs who can't do anything.

But that's where the exception appears.

There was a PK that could move even when exposed to moonlight.

She is a beastly female player with ears and tails similar to wolves.

According to Marie's commentary, this werewolf is one of the two leaders in the PK clan.

The werewolf wields her claw fangs abruptly and heads to Kaguya Princess as she knocks down a group of "Three Days and Closed Eyes”.

But it doesn't arrive.

He was crushed by the difference in numbers of hundreds, and ended up dead in a quarrel.

The beautiful woman, reminiscent of Princess Kaguya, was laughing corny as she saw the sight.

"The person in this kimono is the moon night of the moon world. The owner of the clan, or the bishop."

Bishop?

Weird way to put it, speaking of which, was Job [the Pope]?

No, but it sounds uncomfortable to me.

"Um, what does this have to do with Japanese religious groups?

"... ah"

I remember it in Luke's words.

, it is the name of a religious group that exists in reality (...).

"Yes, the clan is part of a religious group... No, now it's headquarters"

"... why are religious groups entering the game?"

"Because the doctrine of the Moon" goes further than the flesh imprisoned by shackles, to the world of true souls ". Didn't you consider this < Infinite Dendrogram > the world of its true soul?

... I know how real this world is.

Both the five senses and the people of Tian in contact are authentic.

But... do we get that far?

Maybe I can't help but ask religious groups for common sense.

"If the goal is to go with Cinnaltama Shiino Sekai and you think getting into < Infinite Dendrogram > made it... what are these guys doing here now?

"Oh, the second doctrine is the main thing here, isn't it?" In a free world, sing your freedom as your soul goes "or something.

Hey, that's some dark god-like doctrine.

"Even among players are feared. In addition to the breached clan size of over a thousand people, even though, many people feel scared that" something could be done in real life "because real religious groups are the foundation"

That's scary, indeed.

He could be abducted all of a sudden, and I don't want to get involved.

"By the way, the reason I went on a crusade to the east this time seems to be" because the faithful were hunted for beginners in the < Easter Plains > ". You're too scared to come out and kill me."

... Isn't it true that war is the only thing that leaks < master > from the Kingdom of Alter to another country?

Marie went on to show footage of the west.

It was Mr. Raleigh, the woman in the Chinese dress who also attended the first day of the banquet.

By the way, this guy, a chinese dress, but his face is of Nordic descent. According to what my brother told me, apparently even in real life, he's that way.

Including Mr. Figaro and someone named Saito Moon Night, I don't think "The costume of Alter Kingdom doesn't look like the kingdom of knights."

gossip.

Mr. Laylay's battle was simple.

It's not like I lift it up to the sky, drop it, straighten it out with a chainsaw, or suffer it and then skewer it in a group.

I'll hit you close, that's all.

Each and every one, close to the hidden PK, beat him. That's all.

However, the result is strange.

It was minced with Mr. Figaro's chains, but this one's not the other way around.

It completely turns into liquid (...).

The human body bursts so lightly that I wonder if that is a water balloon in the shape of a person, not a person.

The meat crumbles all the moment Mr. Raleigh touches it, and all that remains is glow liquid with blood and organ colors and the skin it spilled out.

The skin is blown up and hanging from a tree.

A tree with the skin of a man is mass-produced there.

The skin disappears because it will soon be logged out with a death penalty, but once you see that at first glance, you won't forget it for a while.

Of the "sake pond meat grove”, the meaning of "meat grove” was very well understood. If the "sake pond” also refers to the "sake pond” as that gross liquid flows, let's be convinced. It's too scary, though.

He looked cheerful at that banquet, but I'm seriously scared of his fighting style.

By the way, they don't know why Mr. Raleigh wiped out PK in the west.

It also seems unclear how Mr. Figaro and Mr. Suzuku Lunar Night, whose attacks themselves had identified enemy allies, are also horns, and Mr. Laylay, who is obviously raiding with his bare hands, are discerning PK.

Finished south, east and west, leaving only the north.

As far as I'm concerned, it's the place.

It's where I was murdered anyway.

"It's north at the end..."

Marie is worried about something.

Is there something in the footage we're going to stream?

"You'll play it for now"

When Marie manipulates it, the crystal shows the sight of that forest.

The time was night, and given the chronological order, it seems this was the best place.

I was still diving in the Tomb Labyrinth.

But I don't see PK.

It is a disabling condition of the forest at night, but it is nevertheless not found.

When we were looking for PK over the crystal - camera footage was interrupted.

I'll be switching to another footage soon, but the footage there will be interrupted soon.

The next camera is not in the woods, but at an angle that overlooks.

Probably footage of a camera installed on the walls.

That told me what was going on in the woods.

is exploded by successive flying shells and inflamed by falling "incendiary shells".

Sight as if cut from a war movie.

The footage was finished with just the sight of the forest burning down without showing anyone as it was.

"Um, what is this... what is it?

When Luke asks, Marie answers with a laugh as troubled.

"Haha..." Unidentified "[Destroyer King] and the battle footage of an unidentified PK - commonly known as" Super Kill "- as well..."

Marie doesn't seem confident with the words she said herself.

That would be so. There is no sign of PK, nor of [Destroyer King] destroying it. This is just environmental damage.

"... if you can't see him, isn't it not necessarily [Destroyer King] who did this? I don't even see PK, so maybe it's not that."

"That's right. < Super Killer > is almost certain from the information obtained, but [Destroyer King] has no conclusive confirmation. I'm assuming [Destroyer King] because of the scale of the destruction. In the first place, this [Destroyer King] himself is a less exposed person..."

Yeah, they also "didn't want to stand out" for refusing to participate in the war.

I don't think "I don't want to stand out" or anything happened after burning one forest.

"Oh, but there are rumors that [Destroyer King] will use the“ Battleship ”. Here! Look here!

That's what Marie said, pointing to one of the crystals that stopped the video.

Beyond the burning forest, it looks like there are giant black shadows all over the darkness at night.

That's a ridge sharp angle for a mountain, and it looks like a giant battleship, depending on what you see.

"What kind of battleship is that?"

Luke was surprised that way.

I know the precedent of my brother's tank, so I can assume such a case.

Instead, I was surprised by the < Embrio > on the moon night of Suizumi. That's probably "night".

"But if we did this on a massive scale, we'd have damaged it besides the PK in the North..."

Now it doesn't matter if the player is Despena or Tian is dead......

"Oh, that'll be fine. He said there was very little going on and on because PK came out... and I think he did this flashy because he made sure he didn't involve the others in the first place that he was the [Destroyer King]"

"I see."

Or maybe I burned every forest because nobody got involved and nobody found it.

As far as the internet goes, they're so good at hiding that no one but me has witnessed them.

Speaking of which, how did < DIN > get the information that could determine that the northern PK was < Super Kill >?

"By the way, why did [Destroyer King] raid Super Kill?

"That's refreshing, right?"

Marie takes a good attitude again.

"[Destroyer King] is originally a player often at the heart of the case in various countries, but little is known about its identity or why it was involved in the case"

"So you're unclear."

"Yes, it's completely unclear why I did such a great destruction in this case..."

... Was there something you didn't care about, [Destroyer King]?

"But with this, we don't know much about northern information, do we? What about it as information compared to other places?

I agree with Luke.

It was a flat 600 lil, but wouldn't the information here be cheaper?

"Ugh!? That's what they say...... ah! But the information here is a little different!

"Saying?

"You have some amazing additional information… what a super kill!

To that word,

"- Ho?

Nemesis, who had never been very interested in crystals and was eating dinner with Babi, reacted.

I feel like I know why Nemesis only reacted here.

Rather, I could also understand why Nemesis had such an attitude until just now.

I guess I regretted hearing that PK was wiped out.

I guess you didn't mind being scratched from the side by the person you swore to defeat.

I had that feeling, too.

But......

"That's good news."

He was alive.
