＜Infinite Dendrogram＞

□ ■ Around the border of the Western Alter Kingdom of Cardina

Before dawn, wind blows in the thin desert.

Winds that have crossed the Kingdom of Alter from the far western seas shake the desert sands of Cardina.

It's quiet dawn time now.

In less than a moment the sun will rise, and then it is the great desert of Cardina that will burn in two minutes.

The land of Cardina is the land of sand.

90% sand and wilderness, and a minute oasis...... that was the country called Cardina.

The national territory is the realm of death beyond poverty.

Cardina, however, is located in the centre of the continent.

It has flourished as a central point of trade between the two eastern countries of the Yellow River and Heaven and Earth, the Kingdom of Alter and the three western countries of Drife and Legendary, these countries of East and West.

The ruins that delivered underground minerals, underground resources, and numerous magic items were abundant, and the resources were wealthy, except for food.

The food is also available in the trade.

Yes, Cardina is a land of sand, wealth and trade.

The desert becomes a path and carries countless riches to the east and west of the continent.

That's similar to what was once called the Silk Road on Earth.

Ten or so dragon cars - large vehicles towed by subdragons - run in a row along such a sandy path.

Dragon cars seem so upscale that even amateurs can see them, and sub dragons carrying dragon cars seem to be in good shape and upscale.

The making of those dragon cars belonged to the Yellow River, not Cardina.

It is not uncommon, but not unusual, for the Yellow River, an eastern country, not to unload Cardina, a relay point, to be transported directly to the West.

This whole group may have been one of those things, but there were two very odd things about it.

One is that each dragon car is flying the flag of the Yellow River Empire.

Even the merchant's dragon car may contain text indicating the country to which it belongs, but it will not fly the flag in this way.

The other is the person in the dragon car, not the dragon car itself.

Dragon car at the rear, people were sitting on that roof.

The man watched the desert before dawn as the dragon car passed away.

And the landscape is cooked, and bubbles are flowing into the wind from a fine tube for a chavon ball that resembles a metal flue pipe stuck at the edge of the mouth.

If that's all, it's not weird to be unusual.

What was odd was not the person's act, but his appearance itself.

Long.

Too long limbs.

They cover their hands and feet with long sleeves and hems of the clothes they have worn, but their length cannot be misled.

He's over four meters tall, but his legs make up more than half of it. It's like a circus foot length.

Arms are also equally long. The five fingers that sandwiched the flue-shaped fine tube were the right thin metal blade to say sword rather than finger.

The person strangely bends his overly long hand and enjoys the landscape as he blows his chavon balls.

As such, the appearance of the face covering the fine tube was also different.

The worn hat has bills stuck on it, and the dripping bills hide his face.

Paired with the clothes worn, it was as if it were a chinese movie Kyonsie.

A visibly unusual figure is bringing the person out of the world.

But at the same time, the person had an intangible sense of intimidation that only the understandable could understand.

Unusual, beauty.

The person, who seemed to be threatening the world just by being there, was now just quietly watching the world enjoying the landscape and the bubbles dancing in the wind.

"Mr. Xun Yu!

Alone, I was watching the desert before dawn, Kyonsey - someone called Xuan Yu spoke up.

It was still a boy who might be ten, about to climb the roof where Xunyu was sitting.

The roof of a dragon car is tedious because it does not have a climbing ladder or staircase.

That condition was dangerous and could have fallen out of the dragon car while driving.

…………

A visible swift feather stretched out its long arm, grabbed the boy's collar and pulled him up on the roof.

Put the boy down on the roof with Ston as it is. Even though he exchanged it with his five fingers like a blade, there was no scratch on the boy's luxurious clothes or fine skin.

"Wow, thank you! Xunyu-sama!

"Wake up early Na, Tsang"

The voice emanating from the mouth of Xuan Yu had a unique intonation.

But the boy, who was called Tsang by a word hung without a wind who cared about it, breaks his expression.

"No! Not as good as Xunyu-sama"

"... it's not easy for you to call me"

Xun Yu took a deep sigh with the chavon balls in the way the boy looked at himself with his eyes shining.

This boy named Tsang, his real name is Aolong (Tsanlong).

Only men of the emperor's direct line were allowed to add the word "dragon" to their name in the Yellow River Empire, which showed that this Tsang was the royal family of the Yellow River Empire without even fixing it.

Tsang is the third son of the present emperor.

Yes, this line of dragon cars doesn't belong to a traveler.

It was a mission to another country with the royal family on board.

Dragon cars are moving towards borders with other countries - the Kingdom of Alter.

"It's almost the border, Na."

"Yes! Mr. Xunyu! Has Xunyu ever visited the Kingdom of Alter!

"I don't know, Ga, the Dressing Universe..." "Spiritual Turtle” said you came here once before. "

"Are you Gray Alpha Centauri! Gray, what happened to you?

"... 'There was an interesting dress guru', let's just say"

"Dress up?

While they have such a conversation, the line of dragon cars reaches the border of the Kingdom of Alter.

Officials on the kingdom side who go through a group of immigration procedures are nervous faces, but during that time the two men on the roof remained intact.

Not only on the kingdom side, but also the imperial squire and officials said something, but feared Tsang, the royal family... and at the same time hesitated to pay attention in fear of the swift feathers.

Tsang is curious and has an honest and pleasant personality.

Therefore, it is common to speak freely to those who are not royalty.

Most of all, that's not true when it comes to the side of the person who was called in responding like a swift feather.

It's supposed to be more awe-inspiring and grumpy. Naturally.

I don't treat you as comfortably as Xun Yu.

Then why is this the case with Xuan Yu?

There is also the personality problem of Xunyu himself, but it is a different matter that it is “allowed”.

That's because Xuan Yu is a special race in this world called < Master >... among them he was special.

◇

It had been about an hour since we had crossed the border and started running through the < Cruella Mountains >, near the border between the Kingdom and Cardina.

It had been notified in advance by the Kingdom that there were thieves who would be the Gozmaids Bandits to root this neighborhood.

Apparently led by a powerful undead and fighter, that group specializes in kidnapping, but it wasn't like there was any chance of hitting a dragon car, so I wanted you to be on guard.

It's not supposed to be an alert place, but officials on the kingdom's side didn't say any more.

I'm not lazy.

For them it's only a matter of vigilance (...), so all I said was vigilance.

".................. Stinky Na"

Unexpectedly, Xunyu said so with his nose ringing.

"But not undead, eh? Tsang, get some sleep Les"

"Yes!"

Tsang fell asleep on the roof of Petari and the dragon car at the behest of Xun Yu - the long arm of Xun Yu flashed shortly afterwards.

Two seconds later, I heard something burying on the ground away.

Buried in damp soil - that's what a knowledgeable person would know as a "bullet” as soon as they saw it.

…………

Xun Yu says nothing.

However, an eye peeking from the shadow of the bill was just staring at the rock a few hundred meters away.

◆ ◆ ◆

Cardina unites East and West and carries wealth, a golden aorta.

At the same time, in recent years, more and more luxury merchants were moving to Cardina and the East, abandoning the kingdom that could become an exile.

Go to Cardina, leave Cardina, and those who cross the border with Cardina will possess wealth.

It's because it's such a land... the hungry wolves grind their teeth, too, trying to flock to the wealth they carry.

"First bullet, not hit. Sorry, I took it off."

A woman sleeps on the rock where Xun Yu was staring at her, with a large firearm with a scope on it.

Other than her, there were more than twenty people hiding in the shadows of the rocks.

Each holds a weapon and looks at a row of dragon cars hundreds of meters away.

They are from the opposition.

Such people are not uncommon in this world... but they had something in common.

That's a unique crest floating on the back of your left hand.

What it points to is that they are immortal beings who use their peculiar abilities, called < master > … < embrio >, and are game players of < Infinite Dendrogram >.

Their name is PK Clan.

In the case of the blockade of the King's Capital in the Kingdom of Alter, which had just been resolved a few days earlier, it was a group that had blocked the Wes Seaway connecting the western port city to the King's Capital.

They were rooted in the western Alter Kingdom in that incident, and now they're near the border with Cardina.

There was a reason for that.

Three PK clans and one PK were hired by someone in that case.

The four......, K&R, Super Killer were all PK, but their behavior guidelines are different.

Robbery and superiority from players, the main purpose of villain roleplay.

for the purpose of hunting players.

Take a request with money like a killer and push the player to a death penalty < superkill >.

And a bunch of bandits looting whoever their opponents are < Goblin Street >.

The only thing that happened to Tian - robbery, assault, and murder - was that Goblin Street was netting.

Therefore, Goblin Street was the only of the four to have been nominated within the Kingdom of Alter.

In this < Infinite Dendrogram > world, killing a player or robbing a player's possessions is not a criminal offence.

Because I have the idea that if we fight each other, we can't judge each other under the law of the unspeakable.

However, this does not apply when the Master commits a serious criminal act against Tian.

Appointments are arranged domestically, or across national hedges, just as Tian committed a crime against Tian.

If nominations are arranged in all of the states we set as a point of resurrection, the resurrection from the death penalty becomes a savepoint inside the "prison”.

That is also why Goblin Street, formed within the Kingdom of Alter, operates in Cardina.

Save points within Alter Kingdom are wiped out.

One of the Super Kingdoms of Alter, everyone who was logged in at that time by Laylay of "Liquor Pond Flesh Forest," received a death penalty.

Some revived at savepoints in other countries, but many went to “prisons” because they only set savepoints in the Kingdom of Alter.

As many as half of the members of Goblin Street leave.

The damage is enormous and it is not strange to suspend or dissolve the activities of the clan.

He was also responsible for a piece of the beginner hunting siege net, which is actually happening.

Although not a nomination arrangement or a "prison” send, Figaro has suspended his activities due to a shock unilaterally annihilated by one person.

It was impossible if we experienced fear in < Infinite Dendrogram >, where the amount of equipment destroyed when it was ravaged and the dimensions were no different from reality except pain.

In contrast, it was the savepoint that moved from the Kingdom of Alter to Cardina, but it still uses the Kingdom of Alter as a hunting ground.

He dives across the border and sneaks in, netting in the east, which is easy to get to and from Cardina, not the west.

Especially in this < Cruella Mountain Zone >, besides Goblin Street, there is a notorious thief named the Gozmaids Bandits. It was an easy place to do it.

Regardless, there could have been a fight against those who come to crusade them who are criminals by making them PK or bandits, including the Gozmaiz Bandits, who root here.

But Goblin Street wasn't afraid of it at all.

"Dude, didn't you say the effective range was a thousand meters or something because you transferred to [sniper fame (sharpshooter)]?

"Apparently, I misjudged the speed of movement of the dragon car."

The face of Goblin Street talked about the shooting she had done against the dragon car person, but she thought she had taken it off.

"You're not, Niara. You didn't take it off. They just bounced."

Except for one.

"Owner, what does that mean?

Called the owner was a young man with red hair.

He is wearing a red jacket with a lion-like hyena.

But while the hair was a shade reminiscent of his ground hair, the red in the jacket was a shade made of dye.

Yep, it's like I got a mess of something red......

"He played the bullet you shot. That's all."

"It's impossible. Bullet speed is supersonic, right?

"I can do it. And he can do it, too."

To the red man who said it was salary, his surroundings swung.

It's not about what the owner can do, it's about what the other person can do.

They believed and knew that owners could do that.

[Robbery King (King of Burglaries)] Eldridge.

A man who took the seat of a robbery lineage super position and is regarded as the strongest corner of the Alter Kingdom's PK.

He was accidentally logged out when PK, who had the Wang Du blockade, received the Solemn Qing by.

So he was safe, but at the same time the members of Goblin Street thought.

- If the owner hadn't been logged out, he would have returned it.

The strength of Eldridge is what keeps Eldridge active even though Goblin Street is the bank of the river.

The members of Goblin Street also believed that if Eldridge was safe, they would be able to continue their activities without any problems.

Eldridge now announces to members as he sees a crowd of dragon cars visible hundreds of meters away.

"Perhaps the opponent is a super position on the Yellow River. But there is no problem. I'll crush it with sashimi. You guys take the attack on the other gushing mutton fish. That's how it's done."

That said, Eldridge opens his left and right hands and rears out.

It's like squeezing a bow string, invisible force and willingness to kill into his arms.

With his muscles tucked away, Eldridge holds his hands and opens them.

This behavior means nothing to the use of the skills he is trying to use.

This is a habit.

It's an unconscious habit that his will to grab and take away from him.

"Greater Big Pocket... Greater Takeover... Set!

[Robbery King] has three dedicated skills, all of which are released by both hands.

What he set in his right hand was Greater Big Pocket, a skill that takes away items.

Force items other than non-transferable items present within a range distance (within a radius of 100 meters) to be stored in their own item boxes, whether they belong to someone else. A threat skill that even a dragon car puts into its nostalgia in an instant.

Set on the left is Greater Takeover, a life-taking skill.

Take away the part of the opponent present within range distance. If I can grab my own hand size, I'll take it away, no matter where it is.

(If you're after him, that's the dragon car with the “long guy" sitting on it)

Eldridge's superb Appraisal Eye understood that that dragon car was specially made.

(That's a mobile savepoint)

One of the finest luxuries in the Yellow River Empire for creating magic items.

Even as the head of the clan who lost his savepoint in the kingdom, Eldridge can't help but take it away.

The dragon car is now three hundred meters away.

From the speed of travel, we get into range in a minute or two.

First he snatches the dragon car where he sits, forces him to collapse, then robs him of his "neck”.

That's it, Eldridge thought.

- If I'm going to add one thing here.

- Eldridge's formula wasn't an error.

- If it was according to the conditions he had set, there was a good chance it would be.

- But he was wrong about one condition value.

- He read the value of Xuan Yu as a super position in the Yellow River.

- Because there was something decisively missing from that value.

"Down, you say?

A swift feather sitting on the dragon car stepped off its roof.

Those hands and feet look longer than they are sitting on.

It's too long vertically in the distance, and the impression is that the poles are extremely close.

"Are you going to set me up from over there?

"You noticed where we were in the first blow!

"Be on your guard! I can take it from the west and east of the continent. The job configuration is different, I don't know what you're going to do!

Eldridge was quietly watching the swift feathers as the clan members made a scene.

(... dangerous)

His possession of "Hazard Awareness" skills, or his own natural intuition, alarms him.

But it was also felt by powerful boss monsters, Tian, and many times he twisted them down and knocked them down.

He did not see Eldridge, a superior [robbery king], as an opponent who could not win even while acknowledging his opponent as dangerous.

(You should be in more offense to this one than you've come down. But the moment you get into range, you just take that neck first)

Instantly, the right hand Greater Big Pocket also switches to Greater Takeover.

Eldridge didn't even know what was going on inside the clothes that were too long, but if he took the neck he was seeing, he should die, that's what he thought.

Not wrong.

Humans die if they take the human steeple.

Not wrong.

He's killed so many people before,

- I've killed Xunyu the same way.

"Is it moving... gov... huh?

I was surprised by Xuan Yu, who stood still as he got out of the dragon car and didn't move, and tried to speak to him.

But it wasn't the sound that overflowed through his throat, it was a huge amount of blood.

Blood floods not only from the mouth but also from the ear, from the nasal cavity and from both eyes.

Seven holes of blood sprayed straight.

"Uh-oh!?"

"Oh, owner!

"Hey! Recovery job, hurry up... no [healing all-purpose psychic (erixil)]..."

Eldridge was in a strange and quiet mood as the members made a scene.

It was too quiet.

I can't hear the one I'm supposed to hear.

Eldridge tilts her neck and touches her chest.

(Right...)

Eldridge turns his gaze to Xuan Yu.

The right hand of Xun Yu - a metal nail that emitted too much brilliance to call it a sword swallow - had a red and black “something” gripping it.

It was like - "heart”.

(.................. taken away)

Shortly after I understood what it was - the man known as the strongest PK in the Kingdom of Alter became a particle of light and vanished.

"Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh"

"hey... eh"

Members wolfed and screamed in front of the sudden and mysterious “death” of the person most to rely on…

But...

"Late."

Shortly before they screamed, there were swift feathers in their center that should have been hundreds of meters away.

And faster than the woman who tried to point a sniper gun at me, faster than the man who stuck out the blade, faster than the people who tried to use the skills of Embrio - moved.

- Kurli, and.

Xunyu twisted his long body on the spot and showed his hands spinning one too long.

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding face of Goblin Street fell to the ground in a "roundabout".

Some of them wore accessories that prevented lethal damage, but such a guy was especially carefully mutilated.

Their bodies, devastated by deadly damage, disappear without resurrection respite time due to the intensity of the damage.

After they scattered, only the sound of the wind rocking the trees and the overly long shadow of the swift feathers stretching in the morning sun remained.

Thus, the PK Clan tasted its second annihilation.

Xunyu got out of the dragon car and it was something that happened less than two minutes ago.

"I'm bored, Na."

Xun Yu can retrieve the fine tube that had been stuck in the item box again and put it on the edge of his mouth.

"The kingdom is something like that even in super positions. Ca?

Sigh with the chavon balls, cleverly clawing his neck with sharp nails - < Super Embrio (...) > that cut dozens of people into rings the other day.

"For this matter, I don't know how much you can expect, Na."

Xunyu - The < super > of the Yellow River Empire exhaled again and returned to the dragon car looking bored.

◇ ◆

"Good luck! Xunyu-sama!

"No, brilliant! [Feng Shui master (geomancer)] tells me that the thief is dozens of < masters >, but only one of them!

"The boulder is one of our country's proud Yellow River Four Spirits!“ Mine. "Oh, no.“ Divine Speed. "“ Responding Dragon. "

When Xunyu returns to the dragon car, Tsang, the dragon car's companion, his squire and officials speak up.

But other than Tsang, it was something that labored Xuan Yu, and at the same time seemed to fear somewhere.

"Light work da. But a job is a job, and I'm still sleepy because this is the time."

When Xunyu said so, they promptly left for another dragon car.

Tsang also quit the dragon car, which was dedicated to Xunyu in a courtesy of Pecori.

Xun Yu exhales hun as he lays down his body on a specially ordered long sofa in the car where he is alone.

"If it's as pure as Tsang, it's cute. Ga, adult sesame rind is ugly."

They are desperate too.

He took Tsang, the royal family, to the Kingdom of Alter, entrusted with a certain serious role (Xun Yu has not been heard).

Many raids were expected on that road, as they are now, and the force of the swift feathers was imperative to protect oneself from them.

But Xuan Yu is.

A whimsical idiosyncratic for Tian even being.

Leaving for a long time here by Xunyu - their job will not be established if they are logged out.

On the contrary, if anything were to happen to Tsang, the royal family, their necks would fly physically (...).

Most importantly, their escort was not on the schedule for Xuan Yu, so I would like to say, "We can do something about it ourselves."

Because their destination was the king's capital of the kingdom, and because Xunyu happened to have errands to go to the kingdom at the same time, he only undertook escorts with it.

Most importantly, this special dragon car - a mobile savepoint - was attractive as a reward for the escort.

"Phew."

While lying down on the couch, Xunyu takes two sheets of paper out of the item box.

One is a requisition for the nomination of Xuan Yu and the other is a flyer.

The request was made via the Adventurer Alliance of the Yellow River and even considering the trip to the kingdom, a good reward is written for it.

The contents are that you want to have a match in the arena of the dueling city of Gideon.

My client is Count Gideon, who rules the city.

The reason why the request came is also known to Xunyu.

Xunyu is the number two duel ranking of the Yellow River.

At the same time, he is a user of Super Embrio…

According to the information gathered, Gideon's city had a situation anxiety yesterday, and there is a verse that attempted to open a great deal of fun like a dueling city to blow up its depressing atmosphere.

That's another piece of paper, an event flyer labeled Super Clash.

Figaro, who belongs to the Kingdom of Alter and is also said to be the absolute king of duel cities, and the clash of Xuan Yu, who is also Super.

matches. This was a groundbreaking battle that had never happened in a dueling city in any country.

Therefore, it has been prominent at home and abroad since shortly after the event was announced.

(Count Gideon and I know they want some local hero, Figaro, to win and cheer up the residents...... you're not in for a favor until you hate and lose)

Xunyu raises his mouth angle and smiles.

The sole glimpse from the shadow of the bill on the hat was a very fierce grin.

(Didn't you notice that much, or do you believe in Figaro and them? Either way, there's one thing I'll do. Fight as hard as you can. Enjoy as much as you can and shoot as hard as you can. That's all)

Xunyu is on the back of a bill covering his face, hehe laughs

"Kukakakaka, chit-chit-chit-chit-chit-chit-chit-chit-chit-chit-chit-chit-chit-chit-chit-chit-chit-chit-chit-chit-chit-chit-chit-chit-chit-chit-chit-chit-chit-chit-chit-chit-chit-chit-chit-chit-chit-chit-chit-chit-chit-chit-chit-chit.

Thus the dragon cars carrying the transcendents of the East and the princes of the Empire cross the border to the kingdom of Alter.

A few days later, a Super Clash will be held between Figaro and Xunyu.

- But the battle also triggered another incident.
