Episode IX Outpost

□ [Saint Knight] Ray Sterling

There are four Super Embrio masters in Alter Kingdom.

Fighting the PK clan that was blocking the Wang capital... No, you can tell by unilateral annihilation, but they all have out-of-group fighting power.

Let Marie tell you that lower and higher levels, and higher and superior, have different stages of battle.

"By analogy, the lower level is the dog, the higher level is the tiger, and the super is the dragon," she said.

I don't think that's a desperate difference anymore as an organism.

Now, it is inevitable that research and intelligence will be gathered from other players, naturally, because they are super combative compared to other players.

Especially < Super > is explored as a top priority for < Super > Taruji and < Super Embrio >.

However, he said he had little idea of the details of the Kingdom of Alter's Enbrio.

Except for one, they don't even know the name of Embrio, and their ability traits don't leave the speculation range.

One of them is the leader of the largest clan in the kingdom, [the Pope of the Lady] Saddam Moon Night, but the other three < Embrio > are still riddled with mystery.

As Marie said before, it has been speculated that the [King of Destruction] 's < Embrio > is a battleship, but it has not actually been confirmed.

That's just what's expected from that overwhelming firepower and the huge shadow that glimpses into the battlefield.

Because of all this speculation and the lack of definitive information, the players are still collecting three pieces of information.

And Mr. Figaro's duel was truly an excellent opportunity.

After the semi-event, until the main event began, there were about 30 minutes of intervals for the development of the stage and the juncture.

Marie is removing various pieces of equipment from the item box. Apparently to take a record as a [reporter] job.

Was Luke and Babi tired of doing something during the day, bringing them to their seats to sleep with Suyasuya? Let's wake up when the game starts.

Nemesis looks at the battlefield and audience seats under development while puking over the dishes he bought at the store.

I didn't do anything after finishing the bathroom in real life either, but I was watching what was going on under my eyes.

"... that?

"Mm?"

Me and Nemesis noticed, too.

Therefore, the black shadow disappeared into the passage on the other side.

Slumpy black bear attire.

... Isn't that my brother?

"What do you think?

"Besides my brother, there would be other players wearing worn worms, but you looked a lot like my brother's worn worms"

But if you're my brother, what are you doing out there when you have a seat here?

"I'm just gonna make sure"

I wonder if I'll go, too.

Me and Nemesis told Marie we'd be back by the start of the main event, and we headed to find our brother.

The hallways inside the arena were made to remind me of the hallways of stadiums and sports facilities, although they were stone built.

Exactly. I don't have a vending machine or anything, but there are quite a few people selling snacks and drinks.

It's before the main event so the aisle is pretty crowded with people running to buy drinks and people heading to the bathroom right now.

By the way, it doesn't matter to players who log out and add use in real life, there are washable toilets in the toilets of this world. More than middle-class houses and public facilities have magical water washing toilets.

More importantly, I have a bath.

Just not high prevalence to the average household, but instead there is money and water all over the city.

Especially since one of the twelve neighborhoods, such as this Gideon, seems to be a hot spring district. It's called the arena, it's a Roman-like city halfway through.

... Well, make it a bathroom. Make it a hot spring, I've never used either yet.

I toiled over here. It's too dangerous in case the real body interacts.

gossip.

"Kumanisan, you're not here."

"Something that seems remarkable."

Whether he was my brother or not, at least I'm pretty sure he had a bear in him......

"Mm, aren't you suspicious of this aisle or something?

"It says staff only..."

"If you're a little lost, it means you're in trouble. Whatever you want, I can act lost."

"... in what act, by the way?

"Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha"

"You're the one who keeps crying!

"That song ends up solving the problem of the lost cat."

Well, if you're asking a crow or a scratch, you can't get to the goal.

gossip part two.

Me and Nemesis broke into the staff-only aisle.

Though it is likely to be blamed, the staffs in the arena do not see if they are preparing for the main event elsewhere.

As I walked to the back that way, I heard a familiar voice from across the corner of the poke.

'There were two of us in the guest room. With Cardina's guy... maybe Drife's [Beast King].'

"I see. Sounds prominent to me."

'Cause you're new to fighting Super in the arena, too. I'm guessing you're stepping on it this time.'

"I'm not hiding anything."

'Cause the effect itself is plain, your.'

I think so.

'And... it smells a little like kina mixed with the heat of the city. There are people who seem to belong to the kingdom but are suspicious of their behavior. There may be some conspiracy going on, so be careful.' Cause that's what you're blunt about. '

'Okay. But am I that dull?

Lord Figa is a gentle brain muscle.

'Really? Though I don't think so.'

"If a suspicious figure comes out in the dungeon,"

"Shoot [Red Lotus Chain Jail Guard] In From Medium Distance"

"What if the PK population was occupying the area?

"Kill all the constituents, then stick your exit demands to your head."

"What if you only have one stick on hand and you have a bunch of monsters?

"I'm gonna hit you."

"Brain muscle."

'... may be so'

Talks between the two people.

But for some reason, both voices sounded familiar.

If you look softly out of the corner and peek,

Black bear dressing guru and gold lion dressing guru were talking.

…………

"What a stiffening. What the hell is Bhuhu...!?"

Nemesis blows out when he sees the same sight, and the two dressed animals notice this one

"Yo, tee time first kumar"

The black bear is, as expected, the voice of his brother,

"Oh, Ray, Nemesis for you. Looks like you made it to this city."

The golden lion... has spoken in Mr. Figaro's voice.

I mean, it was Mr. Figaro.

"... erm"

In the meantime, Mr. Figaro, the third one, seems like a freak too, so let's just say wearing guru = freak.

The four of us were supposed to move the place from the aisle to Mr. Figaro's depot to talk.

"So, how did you get the lion dressed?

"Look, I'm a celebrity in this city, right? Walking face-to-face is tough."

Oh, like an entertainer's hat and sunglasses?

'By the way, this is a story gear I bought from a bazaar. It would be nice to have a reward gear like Shu's, but MVP rewards are all I need.'

Indeed, I need my [armor] and [purple grudge armor] as well.

"I've also defeated many < UBM > before, but I've never worn them. Instead, how do we get out, Shu?

"... but Figaro, except for one thing that came out, I'm having trouble with the boulders. I can't get dressed in layers."

I'm more concerned about the one thing that's left.

What would have happened if it weren't for the dressing?

Did you even answer the holding sign?

'Cause in your case, it makes little sense to be armed with perks as opposed to mine... Isn't the system also air "Let's give him a worn mule for now"?

"Humpty guy...... forgive me bear!

"Is management AI that much of a control?

"I don't know!

... I asked Chesha about the person in charge at the time of login, and is my brother hated by admin AI?

"But the lords are close. I heard from Kumanisan that we were friends."

'Friend...... yeah, well I guess I will. You know, both me and Shu are from this country. < super (s) "

"A fellow bear in this country! Two members, by the way, bear!

... that's just the two of you.

Besides, Mr. Figaro feels like he's attached to you. It's very flawed.

'Uh... Yeah, well, speaking of perks, Ray, your hands and boots are perks, too, right? It looks like a good weapon inside. "

"Ah, yes. We've defeated two of them so far."

"Heh... Hmm, [Gardranda] and [Purple Grievance Runaway Gozmaize]? Oh, Ray, was it you who exorcised those bandits that were rumored? '

"Yes."

To be honest, there was just a few things I wanted to say to Mr Figaro.

If Mr. Figaro had gone out, those Gozmaids bandits would have been destroyed early, and I am sure there were few victims.

But I also know that's something I can't help but say.

Mr Figaro also had a reason, I suppose, for Mr Figaro.

Besides, I don't think "do it because you have the strength" is a word I can't get through.

"Because Ray himself is the type to do it if he decides to do it with or without power."

Maybe.

The various things I encountered in that case are in me.

It would be a mistake in itself to think of it as, for example, if someone else were out there instead.

'Both are good skills and... a weapon of your own thought. You should take care of it.'

"Yes."

But now you were naturally appraising my gear.

"Negative correction hangs when appraising people's gear, but Kumar is visible because both me and Figaro are almost" appraisal eyes "Max. What I can't do is kumar about the MVP perks of ancient legends and above with a concealed effect."

"This or something."

Mr. Figaro said so while pointing to his brother's clothing figure.

You were bigger than I thought your brother was wearing.

...... though it looks totally screwed up.

"By the way, why were you in the staff-only aisle, bear?

"Oh, that's"

That I didn't see my brother in the box seat.

That I found my brother from the box seat and came looking for him.

I told him I walked into the staff only aisle because I didn't see him in the aisle.

"Uh, there's a little wild for you, Kumar."

"It's time to get in the box seat. I'd like to introduce you to my party before the main event."

'Right. I'll be there in a little while. Oh, yeah. There was something I forgot to give you at noon'

That said my brother fished the item box and took out what looked like ear cuffs from inside.

"What's this?

"[Telepathic Cuffs] Kumar. Kumar lets you talk to friends who are equipped with the same item '

"Heh."

I was given that. Fitting it in my ear filled one slot of accessories.

[Can you hear me, Kumar?

Then I heard my brother's voice in my head.

It doesn't sound the same as what Nemesis does without a heart or the same mindset.

[I can hear you, I can hear you]

[Test OK Kumar]

I am able to read perfectly.

But as far as I can tell, you don't have this [cuff] on your bear's ear.

... Well, it doesn't make sense if you have to put it on your raw ear.

"Pretty handy, this item"

"Distance is limited, but if this gideon or the range around it is about it, Kumar will probably connect. If this is true, I was going to give it to you when we broke up in King's Capital, Bear. '

"Oh well. But I think it's okay now. If I had received it from the beginning, I would have relied on my brother."

"Hahaha, self-reliant spiritual and quite Kumar. But if there's something you can't do by yourself, you can count on it."

"Oh, then, please."

"Asked"

Saying so, Gurumi's brother strained his chest.

I was somewhere proud of that, and I owed it to the style of my clothes.

"And it's time."

Yes, when Mr. Figaro was told and looked at the clock, he was about fifteen minutes away from the start of the main event.

Mr. Figaro will be ready, and I think it's time to spare you.

"Good luck with the game, Mr. Figaro"

"I'm not a stranger, so I'm here for you!

'Yeah, thanks. Oh, yeah, you'll still be accepting, so you can bet on me at the reception.'

With that said, Mr. Figaro disarms himself from wearing a variety of gear that I know of.

And said, laughing calmly but powerfully.

"Because it makes money"

That is what Mr Figaro said, as in the matter of the decision.

In one word, I could see the pride of being an absolute king and the weight of the dueling city's strongest war history.

"Okay."

That's what Mr. Figaro says, so I'll take a ride.

"I'm gonna talk to Figaro some more, so I want you to stay ahead of me, Kumar."

"Yeah, okay"

That's how I left the booth with Nemesis.

◇ ◇ ◇

"... by the way, what is a < lovely love to wear gurumi hobby >, shu?

"That's all I could think of, Bear."

"Didn't you reveal yourself in a moment?

"I'd love to rose at a better time anyway"

"Oh, you're the type to keep your trump card warm just to surprise me... even before"

'Past stories are good bears. The Problem Is Ahead, Bear.'

"Right."

'You, you proclaimed it like you could always beat Ray, but you're not that easy of an opponent. Almost five minutes, as far as I can tell. It's a little bad.'

"That's how I see things. Anyway, the opponent is one of the strongest players in the Yellow River

"Against is Alter Kingdom's most powerful solo player, Figaro of the“ Infinite Chain, "or"

"... that sounds like an interesting card to say for yourself. As much as I want to watch the game."

"Whoa."

"I want you to feel safe"

"I'm here for this kind of battle... for the moment when I burn my life."

"So... I'm gonna win with everything I got."

◇ ◇ ◇

□ [Saint Knight] Ray Sterling

There are two roles at the arena reception.

The first is the entry into the competition, and the other is the gambling process that entails winning or losing the competition.

Participation entries are for entering the day's freelance events or booking events after the next day, but the reception for participation is closed.

Gambling people bet too. The bet is over, and since it's just before the game starts, there are few people, including the aisle.

The bulletin board at the top of the reception - close to the magical electro-optical bulletin board - shows the odds of the main event,

Mr. Figaro is 1.2x and his opponent is 5.6x.

Though it varies a lot, that would mean that Mr. Figaro's popularity and strength are recognized in this city.

I'll talk to the lady at the reception and make a bet on Mr. Figaro.

"How much do you bet?

"Right, 1.2x so you don't get a lot without some betting... ok"

I bet 60 million lil on Mr. Figaro.

"Asshole or lord no no no no no!?"

Shortly afterwards, he ate an intense dropkick of Nemesis and blew it up.

"Hey, do what?"

"What is your lord doing!? Why are you throwing the property you got in the corner here into full gambling!?"

"I believe in what Mr. Figaro said."

"The real deal."

"I wanted to try something like these gambling comics once"

"All right, fix it there. They teach you the importance of money with their own hands."

Trying to start a sermon by Nemesis in front of the receptionist.

"- Too bad it's like you dumped it in the dob, Na"

At that moment, someone grabbed my shoulder.

Looking back, turning back in momentum.

But there was no one behind me.

Precisely, there's only one.

But that's ten meters away, and it's impossible to grab a shoulder.

In fact, my shoulders aren't grabbed right now.

Just my voice, I'm sorry they grabbed my shoulder...... no it can't be.

I still only feel it. Instead of the shoulder, it feels colder than ice, which is likely to crush the heart under the clavicle as well.

"Steady si, Figaro 1.2x sir. Away, so I can't help it, but I got licked na"

The guy standing behind me utters the word.

Even < Infinite Dendrogram >, who has excellent interpreting capabilities, spoke with a unique intonation.

He walks over here with unusual signs.

Those who remained marginally in the aisle take him closer to the reception and lag behind to distance themselves from him. Some of them turned their backs and fled.

The lady at the reception also slips off the chair and goes in with a half crying look.

I can't help it.

I don't know what you don't like, or if there was anything uninteresting about it, it's spreading unusual killings all around you.

…………

Man is also an animal... whose animal instincts had warned him of his present death.

Still, I didn't lose sight of him approaching me - I noticed.

The guy was unusual, unusual.

The distance, thought to be ten meters, is really more remote, and it was because of his height that he misrecognized it so.

By sight, it's over four meters.

Even the ceiling of the aisle, which should be designed high because it will also be used by the subpeople, is critical.

That guy was wearing a hat with a plaque like the Chinese movie Johnsey was wearing.

He's wearing davodavo clothes that are too big for his body, and his hands and feet are just barely hidden and slightly visible.

Let's put it the other way. - The sleeves and hem of the clothes are said to be more than two meters long, but the hands and feet are slightly visible.

Only hands and feet are unusually long.

The slightly visible nails are golden, sharp, - with a sense of intimidation that I just said I've killed thousands.

It was horrible.

"………………"

If I realized it was horrible, my legs were shaking.

[Demidragworm], [Gardranda], [Gozmaize].

Never before has war itself shriveled when it looked like any mighty enemy.

But now, it's about to be broken.

Instinct tells.

This opponent, who leaks killing in front of you, is not of the same rank as the enemy he has fought before.

Instinct tells.

You need to leave now.

"... ugh!

I tried to do it - I realized it.

On the left arm of Soitz - to have one woman, held like luggage.

That the woman looks terribly painful.

When I realized that, I could neither ignore nor escape.

"Nemesis!"

When I call Nemesis to me, Nemesis merges with me accordingly and becomes the figure of the Great Sword.

The beating of my partner in my right hand brings me back to war once and for all.

I point the sword at him.

"What da, you do ka?

That guy raises his right hand like a pain in the ass.

On my left hand I keep a woman in my arms.

"Huh......"

The response still seems troublesome...... however, the right arm moves as strangely as if the snake would strangle the sickle.

At the same time, the killings that were spreading around me concentrate on me.

- The attack is coming.

"< un"

"Late E"

Moment - I visioned my neck dancing through the universe with a nemesis that would be crushed.

"Staaap, Kumar!

But that moment didn't come.

'... huh?

……

In an instant, his killing spirit was gone.

No, it wasn't gone, it was poured on someone other than me.

It is the Lord of the voice of the earlier.

"You, what da?

He was all alone in his gaze and killing,

"A passing bear, Kumar!

... was my brother.

"......, huh"

I breathed heavily out of his mind to kill him.

Convinced.

Now, if my brother hadn't come out, I'd be dying here for the second time.

"Bear? Phew, you look strong, Na"

"No, just a dressing enthusiast Kumar"

"Ha ha - well said ze"

Half a second after he laughed.

The bursting, metal rubbing, clashing and crushing sounds echoed simultaneously.

!?

I heard a noise, but I didn't see the moment.

If you realize it, your brother was like he played something with his right arm, and he had his right hand pointed at his brother.

And one of the columns was shattered, and the right arm of his brother's clothing guru had some contact friction marks, from which white smoke was rising.

I didn't see anything in my eyes, but I was pretty sure they both did some sort of offense.

That's a super fast fight that doesn't even make me see.

Paranormal movements resulting from too high a status I was hearing from Marie.

I can feel that the high-end player's battle area was there now...

"... ku, fu, hahahahahahahaha! Oi, funny na, bear! You Ka! You are Figaro Ka!?"

"Different Kumar"

"Yes, Na! Yes, Ta! Unlike the pictures, Si, Gideon's dueling king doesn't dress as unusual as that. Ca!

... but I did.

"Good Na! Funny! You, I just played it a lot slower (...) than I did!

Was it much too late?

"I was insulting you as a dying country, but it was worth coming to Ta! Even if your opponent Figaro can't do it, it would be fun to do it with you!

'Right. If Figaro loses today's game, I'll deal with him. "

To that word, my brother adds:

But you won't get that chance.

"Ho?"

He's gonna beat you.

"Phew, phew, phew! I'll make you say that, Figaro! Really funny, Na! Then there are two main dishes to enjoy."

With that said, he's about to walk past us and head down the stadium aisle.

"... wait!

I shout out my voice.

"Ahn?

Something troublesome again. He tilts his neck and looks at this one.

It reminds me of my fear of the intention to kill that was about to be directed again, but I can't retreat.

"What are you going to do with that person?

I know very well that I am no match for the opponent in front of me.

Still, I couldn't miss what was happening in front of me.

... aftertaste, it's bad.

"The person............... ah, this ka"

That's what he said. He put the woman on his left arm down on the floor.

"Ugh..."

The woman who was put to sleep on the floor is groaning.

"This guy's a companion, yo. It was just a little (...) rough to get around so I got drunk and just got glocky da"

That said, he sighed heavily.

"Huh?"

Are you one of them?

Oh, really?

…………

... If you look closely, your complexion and painful look are serious, but there was not a single trauma.

"N? You, Ka, you thought I had kidnapped or something, and you stood up to me."

".................. sorry"

Seriously, I'm sorry.

I was as quick as I wanted.

Some of you couldn't calmly move under the pressure of your opponent.

If I were dead from this, I'd be totally dumb.

And now I'm so embarrassed............

"Ku, fu, kuaakakakakakakaka!!"

He laughed at my answer for some reason.

"You, Kuk, you're funny too. That's why he ate me! Funny Na! Oh, bear and good you. Hey, there are a lot of funny guys anyway, Na! of this country!

That said, he had long gold claws on my head with Pong.

And I couldn't react at all to the motion by putting the face hidden with your bills close to my ear.

"I liked it. I'll play you next time."

That's what I whispered.

Huh? The voice now......

"Hahaha, bye A, I'll see you later Na!

That's all he left to say. The guy turned his heel back and dragged the woman rolling on the floor toward the back of the aisle again.

From the back of the aisle, he said, "Hey, ambassador, wake up, Na. You'll be at work soon, Ga." and I thought it belonged to a woman who was being dragged, and I heard a weak voice saying, "hey, I don't want to travel in the sky at supersonic speed anymore -..."

As soon as he left, the air was calming down.

"Hey, Kumar, that was close."

"... thanks, brother"

I'm sure if my brother hadn't come in there to help me, I would have died again.

He had the strength to do just that, and the intention to kill.

'It's nice to have been able to fight in front of that, but Kumar is where the courage is used. It's too early to cut the front, Kumar.

"Super... Then I knew he was..."

"Oh, Figaro's opponent. One of the four strongest players in the Yellow River of the Wuxian Empire, The Four Spirits of the Yellow River
