＜Infinite Dendrogram＞

□ [Reporter]/[Unshadowed] Marie Adler

I've known about the three top lankers in the Empire of Drife since before that war.

[Reporter] As a... and as a PK player, gathering intel on the strong is essential.

The three top lankers of Drife are all of different colors.

Top duel ranking. “Conflict Formula" [Demon General] Logan Godhardt, head of the Demon Corps using sacrificial rituals.

Top Crusade Rankings. Boasting the strongest status of all players, “Physics is the strongest" [Beast King].

And top of the clan rankings, [Archprofessor] Mr. Franklin.

Of these, Franklin was not the only one < super > at the time of the war.

On the contrary, it is the only non-combatant position.

If you argue with the status of a vegan, its power is inferior to that of a lower combat position.

It would be dust and mustard compared to the "most powerful of physics” [king of beasts] or “most powerful of magic” [god of earth].

Unlike the other two rankings, of course, clan rankings are those that compete for the size of a clan.

Even if that owner doesn't have the fighting power, there's nothing wrong with it because it's colorful.

The top clan ranking in war is second only to show strength as a clan, such as personal strength.

In fact, it was whispered that way.

But if I opened the lid, it was like a different result.

Franklin's threat was not to take a pull on the other two while not leading to Super.

By the war… the characteristics of Franklin's jobs and < Embrio > became widely known.

The super-professor specializes in the study of monsters, while the Pandemonium, Franklin's < Embrio >, specializes in the production of monsters.

As a result of the combination of research and production, the same field but similar and non-existent, Franklin created a horrible legion.

That's a legion of monsters with a wide variety of properties.

Physics don't work, reflex magic, when you hang on death, you blow yourself up, take possession and manipulate, ethosetra, ethosetra.

They say a legion of monsters with such fragmented characteristics - "looked exactly the same."

Only a handful of them were opposed to Franklin, on the side of the kingdom that was participating in the war, and the army directly under the king.

The two bumped into each other and the results ran out of catastrophic words.

It's like a surprise box. "I don't know what you're going to do." Confusion ensues in the battle with monsters, multiplied by that confusion. Powerful monsters of comparable status strike even super positions.

Thus the armies of < Master > were devastated, and the king was preyed upon by monsters.

Apparently, it took astronomical costs to produce and align a legion of monsters that formed this.

The materials needed to create the monster and the funds needed to get it were enormous, he said.

But that wasn't even a problem for Franklin, who was leading the biggest clan in Drife and getting sponsored by the Empire.

He challenged the war on the size of a clan and demonstrated a threat by his personal abilities.

After the war, I as PK... had a lot of requests to kill Franklin.

The main client is < master >, who became a death penalty in the war, or the edger of a soldier who was sacrificed.

However, I have not received that request.

I went to see how things were going.

I also thought about taking a request and killing it if I could.

But you can't.

At first glance, I see.

Easy to kill (...).

- But surely... something (...) will happen.

In my eyes, Franklin was like a dynamite wrapped iron balls around his belly...... no, it looked far creepier and more vicious than that.

I have forbidden the assassination of Franklin.

It was a little after I avoided fighting Franklin.

Franklin was frequently attacked because he was buying grievances, not just the people he asked me to.

Many of them are repelled by monsters, but only once...... they also said Franklin was defeated.

At that time, Franklin was not yet Super Embrio's.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

But...... only once after that war, Franklin has become a death penalty.

It is the weakest in terms of status and naturally assumeable.

But the problem is then.

Returning from the death penalty, Franklin... found the person who defeated him and set up the fight, winning the next one complete.

And then again.

And then, and then again.

That next, that next, that next, that next.

That next, that next, that next, that next.

also, after that......

They created the most incompatible monster for their opponent and stubbornly continued to kill the person who defeated them for a whole month in real life.

That's until that opponent stops logging into this < Infinite Dendrogram >......

Create weak but worst monsters.

Weak, but with the worst personality.

“Weakest and worst" … that's my assessment of Franklin and his most famous street name.

... To be precise, there is another person who sucks as far as I know, but let's put that aside.

The emergence of horns and Franklin on the rabbit will not remain the mere appearance of an uncluttered enemy to the kingdom.

They must always come up with something that's not even Rokuro (...).

□ [Saint Knight] Ray Sterling

Immediately after Franklin was named, countless arrows, bullets and attack magic were unleashed from all over the venue in pursuit of Franklin.

Some are more inhibited by the junction than Franklin is in the middle of the upper junction.

Still, there would have been light hundreds of people in the rain of the attack.

Some of them may have been higher-level offenses, like the ones we saw in the game, and superior offenses like Mr. Figaro and the others.

A blast of smoke envelops over the junction as it rocks the junction at Franklin's feet tremendously.

"Sarasu, but a dueling city with a bunch of brain muscles. You're a quick judge. '

But Franklin was alive.

I'm pretty sure he was in that whirlpool of attacks because his white coat was burning everywhere.

Still survived.

"Why are you alive, that guy?"

"... that's not a big deal yet"

"Right."

I didn't know what happened to me, but they seemed to see it for both of us.

"Fast-paced fatal fights outweighed by protective gear with substitute accessories and equipment skills."

"Plus, you've been temporarily evacuated in Casling ever since."

Kathleen?

"What is Casling?

"It's a skill to swap your position with a monster in your hand, Mr. Luke. It is a skill that can be remembered from a senior position, but it can hardly be used as a transfer skill because the effective range is not very long. It's one of the few available metastasis skills."

I see. The first surprise was that I was forced to endure with the kind of equipment I used in the Demidra battle, and I wasn't there after that?

'I'm telling you, hey! I don't want you to attack me anymore! You don't want to go to jail, either, do you?

“Prison"?

Keep an eye on Franklin by questioning his words.

Then one little bird stopped in his arm,

- If you hit this chick by mistake, you're going to jail in one shot.

Shortly after Franklin says so, something appears in his arms instead of a little bird.

That's one girl.

Look at that girl...... raise your voice like Marie is hacked.

"Eli......!

Yesterday was a photo, I saw it in the venue today - it was the figure of Second Princess Elizabeth S. Alter.

Happily I turn to the VIP room, but there was no more of a princess there.

"Did you create a monster that could use Casling to a third party?"

Did you create a monster that could do that?

You mean Franklin can do that?

In fact, Franklin has captured the second princess, who was supposed to be in the VIP table.

The princess keeps her body unconscious or powerless.

"I was wondering if you understood? Because royalty killing is an immediate“ prison ”. Be careful... isn't that what I can say! Hahahahahahaha! '

The man who killed the girl's father in his arms laughed high as if he had said even an interesting joke.

... this guy.

'Well, now that you're out of control, here's what I want you to hear...'

A new attack magic flew from a point in the audience to block Franklin's words and burst near Franklin.

"Nah!?"

If you look around released, the audience is in a gutsy pose.

Are you nuts?

"Are you stupid...!?"

My heart's voice overlaps Marie's.

There's a princess right next to Franklin!? There's no way you can attack her in a detour!

"Uh."

When the blown attack magic smoke cleared, there was an intact look of Franklin and the princess.

Apparently the previous blow was prevented by some means.

"Do you understand the situation? I grabbed the second princess. And talking. I'm trying to say something...... Oh, boy! So! Why are you attacking me?!? I don't know, I don't know, I don't know if it's Bakka. '

Franklin scratches his head with gassi.

Unlike when you were laughing high, the look looks terribly grumpy.

- Let's chill your head, idiot.

Immediately after Franklin's words, a blue liquid erupted from the foot of the < Master > who carried out the attack.

blue liquid - [slime] envelops its < master > in an instant,

―――――――――――――――

I created a hell of a picture.

As soon as it is swallowed, the skin and equipment dissolve and become indistinguishable. Screaming bubbles with gobbles in the blue [slime] and doesn't leak outside.

That would be the same as the carnivorous slime in a monster movie, but that [slime] isn't the only one.

My surroundings are frozen.

It is dissolving its internal prey while spreading cold air around it to magnify the damage.

"Yes, the child is [Oxygenslime], the development name Destroyer. I think it would be better if I made it by hand recently."

[Slime] - Introduce [Oxygen Slime] like a cake or something.

But not such a swallowing thing, [oxygenslime] is not only swallowing the first < master > but also swallowing, melting and threatening the surrounding audience by cold air.

Eventually, from the audience near [Oxygenslime], a flame broke out attacking [Oxygenslime] -

"Ah, idiot."

Shortly after such a Franklin whine - it caused a huge explosion.

A blue flame broke out in the corner of the audience, creating even a blazing hell.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Were you listening? I told you I was [Oxygenslime], didn't I? You know what oxygen means? You can't do science experiments on idiots who draw fire close to liquid oxygen, can you?

Liquid oxygen............!

Substances in which oxygen, which is a gas at room temperature, is condensed at ultra-low temperatures not exceeding minus 182.96 °C.

He is a theatre that combines extremely powerful oxidative action with combustion-assistance, and is also used for rocket fuel.

"Is his body-colored blue the blue of liquid oxygen...!

And the color of the flame was blue, also because of the excessive source of oxygen......

"... Mumble, I did it in chemistry class"

My brother is whining about that, but I feel the same way. I remember doing experiments with liquid nitrogen to cool the oxygen I put in plastic bags.

"By the way, it's useless to be ready to explode. Destroyer, even if you explode, it will bond with oxygen in the air and regenerate immediately. '

As Franklin said, there was a blue [oxygenslime] figure on the blast trail that rapidly restored volume.

Toxic immortal explosive organism.

I see, it's the nearest worst monster I've ever seen... what a thought and realized.

Dead is gone in particles.

And no bodies have rolled around where there was an explosion.

Luckily for me in my misfortune, they didn't have Tian caught up in that one.

"Well, the idiot made the explanation a roundabout, but I'll tell you what we need!

At the top of the juncture, Franklin utters the word, just saying that the disturber is gone.

"Let's play a game!

At the hand of Franklin, who raised his voice, an unidentified switch was held at some point.

"Poached."

When Franklin pressed the button, a new [oxygenslime] erupted from the corner of the venue.

Fortunately, no one was caught up in the emergence, but the audience leaves the perimeter of [oxygenslime] because of an earlier tragedy or half panic.

'Now that you understand, this switch is linked to the device I installed. What kind of device is it, Destroyer? It's the same device that sprinkles the monsters I prepared. Press to open one randomly.'

The whole venue rises from the seat where it was sitting in the words.

But his words don't stop there.

"You don't have to push it. It's all automatically open in an hour. - I installed a lot of them all over Gideon.

"Nah!?"

Count Gideon in the VIP seat raised his dismay.

Naturally, they targeted monster terrorism in the city they ruled.

And after all, it's more than just committing a crime in the audience or committing such a terrorist attack... this guy is willing to do harm even to a tian opponent.

'There are two ways to stop the device. Destroying this switch or pushing me to a death penalty. So the device stops functioning and all the monsters that popped up disappear. Isn't that easy?

That's how Franklin laughs happily again.

Then defeat him here and now and it'll all be over.

But...

"... weird"

How could he...?

'Though it has nothing to do with monsters. The princess keeps grabbing it. "

That's what Franklin says and holds the princess who remains stunned.

"Stop the monster terrorism! Save the princess! That's a very easy drawing! Good luck in the kingdom, gentlemen! Then that's why goodbye (ADIEU)! '

Leaving it at that, Franklin was using Casling again and disappearing from this venue to somewhere with the princess.

Immediately after, the venue is surrounded by confusion and anger.

Those who panic, those who scream, those who go right and left.

Inside, he can also be scattered about jumping out of the arena and trying to chase Franklin.

Alternatively, some try to deal with the two remaining [oxygenslimes] in the venue.

Common to those who took action would be anger at Franklin for causing this and ruining this night.

I was the same again.

"Fucking witch mountain games...!

I guess Franklin himself is a game feeling.

In fact, < Infinite Dendrogram > would be a game.

But still, there are unforgivable things.

That's what he's trying to do.

"It's probably a witch mountain play story."

That's what my brother said with a nod.

And yes.

I've been wondering since Franklin left.

Why didn't my brother... try to attack me in any way?

My brother wouldn't be surprised if he was shooting that gatoring cannon.

'But think about it. Why do we need to execute (...) that witch mountain play after declaring it?

…………

That's the part where I was a little caught up, too.

He said he had set up a device with [oxygenslime] and a wide variety of monsters in the venue and city.

Yes, the terrorism he's trying to do is ready to happen whenever you feel like it.

Even though......

'If it's terrorism, you can't declare it. Or grab it. I dare to declare that on such a stage and set a time limit to what a respite. You know what this means?

"Meaning…"

From Franklin's own words and deeds, he even looks like a funny half.

But I don't feel that's all.

I have something that's caught.

It also seems as if there is some intention, as in the declaration made by Kuniba just before the start of the Super Clash match.

I just haven't been able to linguize what it is yet.

"Guess what."

Luke pinches the words in my brother's conversation.

"I think the goal is to let you know that if you work hard, you can prevent it, and then you can fail."

"What?

Failure is what it's all about?

"I'm sure that's..."

When Luke tried to connect words, he was outside the room, not in the audience - he heard chaos coming from the lobbyist.

"The kingdom," "I can't get out"... I hear those words more than once.

"We're going to the lobby."

"... Oh!

"Yes."

In response to my brother's words, me and Luke, plus Nemesis and Babi later leave the box seat.

That's how I tried to get out of the box seat, and I noticed.

I should have been in the box seat until I was close...... that Marie was nowhere to be seen.
