＜Infinite Dendrogram＞

□ Dueling city Gideon [Saint Knight] Ray Sterling

"Ooh..."

Through the entrance of Gideon, the dueling city, I raised my admiration.

Gideon surrounds the entire city with glue and walls, which are equipped with multiple entrances depending on the application.

Many large cities in the Kingdom of Alter have circular barriers, including the King's Capital.

It is an essential structure for preparing monsters for raids and wars in other countries, while at the same time serving to separate the world from the inside.

Diving through the walls, there's a different view there than outside.

The same was true when I first logged in and entered the King's capital Althea.

At that time, I was impressed by the air in the town of Fantasy, which is conveyed by a sense of reality, but in this dueling city of Gideon I was once again feeling that emotion.

Different air.

Not outside, not like Wang Du.

The air here is pregnant with people's fever.

That must come from the Dueling City Central Grand Arena (Central Colosseum), right at the center of this city, at the end of its gaze.

The ancient Roman colosseum is a building about 200 meters long and about 50 meters tall.

But the great arena in this Gideon looks about twice bigger than that.

According to the booklet distributed at the entrance to the city, in addition to the great arena, there are also twelve smaller arenas arranged at equal intervals, where duels and competitions take place daily.

They say the Central Grand Arena will be used for special events.

How did you get this booklet, by the way, at the entrance to the city and at low prices for tourists? The sale was good as far as I could tell.

This city is very busy.

I was devastated by the war and still don't think I'm part of the Alter kingdom just before the defeat.

If you look at it, there are also a large number of races that we didn't see much of in Wangdu.

The species with the ears of the beast, the horns like dragons, the fairy-like species as long as my knees.

There was a class of people there called subhumans in their fantasy works.

Looking at them, it seems that some tourists live and do business in this city more than others.

Including the residents, this city is not like the Wang capital.

As Mr Figaro said, it is full of the vibrancy of the living.

"It's kind of a healthy city."

I snort at Luke's words, too.

"This neighborhood doesn't have borders with the northern drife, and hey. Nearby are the borders with Legendary and Cardina, but Cardina has a trade pact, and Legendary is an ally, so many tourists from both countries."

Marie shows me the map.

The simple map is written Gideon in the centre, Cardina across the mountainous area to the east and Legendaria to the south.

By the way, the west side is the sea at some distance, and the north is, of course, the king's capital.

"In addition to geographic safety, you can count fighters in the arena. Gideon is no exaggeration when it comes to being the strongest city in the kingdom."

I see. Is that the safest city in the Kingdom of Alter?

Then I guess some people have fled here from the Wang capital.

I had a lot of requests like that for my guild in Wangdu.

Conversely, however, some merchants go from Gideon to Wangdu to buy them out.

This is what Mr. Alejandro told me on the road.

The items available in the Divine Dungeon in Wang Capital are rare specialties of the country and can be sold well to tourists and foreign merchants.

Yesterday, however, it ends in a previous defeat… While players' exodus to foreign countries reduces the number of Seekers in the Gravemark Labyrinth and inevitably yields less.

Blockade by PK clan that has lasted for the last few days in Todome.

The price of items in Gideon soared.

As a result, shortly after the street blockade was lifted, some merchants went out of their way to buy to hold off valuable items, he said.

By the way, Mr. Alejandro and I split up in front of Gideon's entrance, but they want us to come to the store during our stay because we also want to thank you.

"Quickly, but shall we head to the Adventurer Guild? I need to file a delivery quest and a [Gardranda] crusade."

In response to Marie's words, we headed to Gideon's Adventurer's Alliance.

◇

Gideon's Adventurer Guild building had higher ceilings than the King's Guild, and the gates were built larger.

I guess it's taken into account in this city, where there are many users of the sub, because some of the sub people are of a larger race.

Well, the liquidation, but the delivery quest was clearer without any problems.

The reward is 30000 lil.

That's 10,000 lire in equal shares. Medium delicious.

But there was also a problem.

[Gardranda] Yes.

[Gardranda] is a prize-necked monster, as Nemesis had checked in the King's Capital Adventurer's Guild. Crusaders get prizes.

The proof of the crusade itself was well proven by showing the MVP Benefit's ["Armor Gardranda"] at the Alliance's special desk.

MVP benefits when crusaded are named < UBM > and non-transferable items are available in a form that is tailored to the MVP acquirer.

I mean, I have [Gardranda] named [Gardranda], which seems to be the most effective proof of my [Gardranda the Great Ghost] crusade.

Most of all, this is an easy story to prove, and even a slightly procedural investigation can prove it.

Some bounty necks are not, so naturally.

Now, the prize was earned safely this way, but the problem was at that amount.

[Gardranda] 's bounty was one million lil.

It's 10 million yen in Japanese yen.

And right now, we were at the table in the guild, face-to-face, rubbing in the distribution of prizes.

Like this.

"Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

"No! If I get paid for the medicine, it doesn't make sense for me to get any more!? I'm not in the fight at all! How about 1/2 each with Mr. Ray and Luke!

"I'm not even in the fight against [Gardranda], so you won't get the same bounty as Mr. Ray! Wouldn't it be nice if Mr. Ray took it all!

Everyone was claiming to reduce their share.

Firstly, it was confirmed that Marie would receive approximately 100,000 lire, the cost of medicines used to treat [soothing all-purpose psychotropic drugs] and carriage people, out of a million lire prize money.

Marie said, "I used it on my own," but I let her take it.

900,000 left, that was the problem.

I insist on dispensing 1/3 at a time because I am the fruit of the party.

Marie insists she doesn't need more than the cost of the medicine because she was just using it.

Luke also claims he can't receive it because he didn't fight [Gardranda].

From me, if it weren't for the two of us, I wouldn't have beaten [Gardranda] either. So I want you to take it.

"I mean, I already get MVP benefits, so I guess the bounty doesn't have to be my share."

"There's no greed in the boulder. It's a strange level of reason."

Wouldn't you?

I thought that would be all right, but Nemesis is looking at Azumi and they're both looking at each other like, "What's this guy talking about?"

"No, because the performance of this MVP perk is weird. I think my share will blow up when I get this."

I put a pair of armor in my own hands.

Colored in red and black purple two-tone colors, this armor was in my item box after defeating Gardranda.

The details are as follows:

[Gardranda, armor]

Legendary Arms

A legendary weapon that embodies the concept of the three-sided ghost of the Qi and Qi.

It has extremely high hardness and enhances the wearer's strength.

* Non-transferable and non-sellable items

* No Equipment Level Limit

Equipment correction

STR +100%

+150 Defense

Equipment skills

Purgatory Fire

Hell of a Chi.

"* Unopened skills

Yeah, there's something wrong with the performance.

The attack power has doubled, and the defense is up from the [Ryatt] set with this one.

300,000 lil won't do it if I make it an amount.

[Gardranda] would be higher than the full bounty. It says a legend or something.

"The system's chosen MVP was definitely me, but if I accept as much as I can with this, it's too much."

In the fight against [Gardranda], he would have lost without support from Marie's items.

Even Luke defeated many of his men before he fought [Gardranda], and since then, he's been holding back Audrey, who was his horseman.

If it weren't for the two of us, we wouldn't have won this one, so I figured it would be 1/3 of my contribution and other good things on this quest.

"But Mr. Ray fought alone."

"So not on my own..."

"Okay. I have a good idea."

Marie says so, poking a ton of desks.

"It's definite that Mr. Ray will receive 300,000 first. Nobody deserves to receive it if you don't."

"... ok"

"Next. Luke seems to be reluctant to just get the same as Mr. Ray, so take half 150,000."

"Yes."

"So, if I don't get it, I'll get the story back, so let's just have 50,000."

That's half a million. The balance is 400,000.

"Let's use the rest as a party."

"Saying?

"Study for the future, is it?"

What does that mean?

"Leave it to me first. I'd like you two to get together after lunch in three days in this time. But are you okay?

Three days later here, that means almost a whole day in real life?

"I have no plans for tomorrow, so I'll be fine."

"I have no problem with that either."

"So be it."

"What are you going to do?

"That's a secret pleasure. Oh, tell me if you don't like my idea. I'll refund you for that."

"No, that's fine."

Whatever it is, I'm not going to get any more, so I'll leave it to Marie.

"Then that's the end of the story of distribution. Then again, Quest, you're annoying."

"You're annoying."

"annoying"

As a result, our first quest at the party ended.

We all had dinner that day and I decided to log out because I was tired too.

◇

Logging out late at night in that time and back in real life...... the sun was rising.

"... I feel jet lag"

Whatever it is, I am tired of everything this time, so I decide to take off the < Infinite Dendrogram > equipment and block the sun from sleeping with curtains.

Let's get some sleep and log in again when the date changes over there.

... I need to fix this discrepancy before college even starts.

Closing the eye lid reminded me of many things as I did yesterday when it became a death penalty.

Nevertheless, in real life I feel like I had a long and dense time even though it was three days or so.

Liliana's quest, including meeting Nemesis and rendezvous with Kumanisan.

The day Luke and I became friends and then PK.

Level up at and encounter with Mr. Figaro.

Meet Marie and Alliance Quest I received at the party.

And the fight against [Gardranda].

What has happened since I logged into < Infinite Dendrogram > crosses the back of my brain like an edited VTR.

It gradually aggregates into a scene where there is an "exchange of life”.

…………

Fight against [Demidragworm].

Raid from.

And a death fight against [Gardranda].

Even though I remember when I was PK on < Super Kill >, I didn't have the strong regrets like right after the wonder and death penalty.

Instead, my chest ached just a little when I remembered [Gardranda] and the Tian people killed by the little ghosts.

“AI with the same intelligence as a person".

That's what Tian's people are reputed for, my brother said.

".................. but"

One by one, as my brain dips into my sleep, what I was thinking at the first night feast comes to mind again.

Liliana and Migliane...... Tian.

[Demidragworm] or [Gardranda]...... monsters.

And......

"Nemesis......"

Including her.

They felt too... alive.

"... really..."

Is it really a game (...)?

My thoughts fell in the midst of the mellow before I could shape that word...

"Mu?"

In the darkness, Sole tilted his neck while performing the tasks and records laid down.

It's unusual for Sole to keep working silently at normal times.

"Incredible. I didn't know it could be defeated at a lower level. It's a rare case."

Sole's question was from impossibility.

Extraordinarily isolated.

Has performance differences that draw a line from other monsters.

With one exception, the level of a monster is 50, or 100, and it's kanst. You never cut a job like a human and reach 500 levels in total.

But yes, so the boss monsters typical of subdragons and pure dragons are far stronger in stats than humans of the same level.

And < UBM > has equal or greater combat power compared to boss monsters with more than double the level.

Lower - Tian will also need more than one advanced party to defeat Level 50 or lower.

Even advanced masters are inevitable of struggle.

Therefore, defeating < UBM > at a lower level is not the case.

Many low-level players came together to defeat them, and Sole called the log of the battle to see if this person even happened to be an MVP.

But reality was beyond imagination.

The person - Ray was alone in destroying [Gardranda], < UBM >.

"Ho?"

Being the right ability for Giant Killing.

that the evolution during the battle by ■ ■ ■ was the ability to completely metaphor the situation.

Unfrustrated will of the person.

There were a few winning factors, but there's only one thing Sole cared about.

"At the time you smashed your first head, you're aware. Too soon."

Sole certified to < UBM > (...) [Gardranda the Great Ghost] was a chunk of trap.

First of all, there is a head that exhales at the sight.

If we destroy this as a weakness and a prospect, we can now have a new face on both shoulders.

All three faces are traps.

Where I crushed these [Gardranda] will not fade.

On the contrary, it will be more fortified.

Assuming you destroy all the heads - further transformation and increased combat power.

Extremely is that it is indestructible, unless it destroys the biological core of the abdomen, which is the weakness of truth.

Due to this nature, [Gardranda] was expected to be a fairly growing individual.

I thought it wouldn't be strange to join SUBM's Superior Unique Boss Monster, an exception beyond 100 levels, which is the culmination of UBM and the limit point of the monster.

but was actually broken in the growth process by the miracle-like battle of low-level players.

Because they destroyed the biological core of their weaknesses before they destroyed everything in their heads.

"Do I look good? Or is there another factor? Fine. There are cases like this one. Helpful."

Finishing the analysis of the battle, Sole closes the Combat Log window.

But the words leaked from my thoughts and I spoke to myself again.

"Whatever it takes, I'm delighted. It doesn't make sense just to strengthen the existing < super >. If you don't grow new, you won't be able to reach 100... Infinite."

And Sole snorted cocky on his own, then turned his gaze back on Ray's record again to spin the word.

"Well, can he handle...... [Gardranda]?

Sole loosens his mouth slightly, imagining the future.

"Whatever it takes, you just have to be strong while you enjoy it. This world is for you to play from start to finish."

And Sole - Administrative AI No. 4 Javawok, who is in charge of UBM, returned to his duties.
