<Infinite Dendrogram>

Episode XVIII [Unshadowed] VS [King of Music]

Let's talk about one man.

The man was a composer.

And in his generation he was a fingerfolding genius.

Even people who are not interested in music often see his name in movies and game staff rolls.

He had one dream like that.

He wanted to paint an opera.

Once, ever since I saw opera as a boy... I had that dream.

It was the life of one hero he tried to paint.

He is a fictional hero who is not in an existing legend, and what he tried to portray is a story that depicts the whole life of a hero.

Draw people's joy, anger, grandeur, meaning of life in a series of songs and stories.

That was his ideal.

But that won't happen.

With his achievements in building, it was possible to compose, script and perform opera.

But that won't happen.

If he had communicated his intention to make an opera, there would have been a number of sponsors.

But that won't happen.

Because he himself could not make his own dreams, his ideals, into form.

The ideal is in me.

But it's badly vague, and when I try to fix it to a definite shape, it scratches off like a dream.

In front of the stationery he is troubled.

- Why not?

- Why can't I make

Having written countless famous songs so far, he stagnated in the steps of fulfilling his own dreams.

That's how, in plaguing his two years, he found out why.

- Right.

- I can't draw it because I don't have it in me.

The ideal story does not take shape because he himself knows no hero or battle.

So no matter how ideal you try to portray, the moment you shape it, it turns into a fake, and disappears.

At least, that's what he concluded.

- Yeah, but I don't know what to do.

- How do I know how to fight a hero?

He himself was old enough to go to war.

It makes no sense if you die before you go to it.

What is more, there is no such thing as the story of the hero he seeks in today's world.

- Why wasn't I in the knighthood?

- Why wasn't I in the age of mythology?

An experience that will no longer be realized or gained in this world.

With despair, he gave up his unfulfilled wishes and wondered whether the work should be left behind by compromise.

That's when.

- < Infinite Dendrogram > will offer the new world and your own possibilities (one-of-a-kind)

Those words reached his ear.

What is the New World?

If you look closely, it was a complain of the game.

He used to compose game music, but didn't play much.

But < Infinite Dendrogram > caught my attention with wonder.

Thus he entered the world of < Infinite Dendrogram > by obtaining < Infinite Dendrogram >, which was difficult to obtain at the time with his own handwriting.

And he meets.

Extremely close to his ideals, to a world where you can get a sense of what he wants.

□ ■ Gideon Ninth Street, dueling city

Gideon Ninth Avenue.

Unlike Third Avenue, which deals with relatively unusual items, this neighborhood has many black markets.

It was common in this neighborhood to be obscene after Eighth Avenue, which houses the headquarters of the Girls Guild and Bandit Guild, but it was somewhat refreshing tonight.

That's because of the small number of people and the... quantitatively (...) decrease in buildings.

Countless explosions, and crushing.

Ninth Street buildings collapse one after the other, centering on two strikingly moving shadows.

On one side of the shadow is [stunning] Marie Adler. PK, also known as Super Kill.

The other is [King of Music] Berdolbel and his three commanding < Embrio >.

As Franklin's prepared assassin in tonight's struggle, Berdolbel has buried many of the kingdom's leading masters.

Make it a super position, in the sixth form.

Except for the less than a hundred overwhelming strong men, they are top notch fighters in Infinite Dendrogram.

Therefore, after their battle, it is as if it were a disaster, causing enormous damage to the surrounding area.

Most of all... If you look closely, you know that only one of the two causes of the damage.

Yes, all the damage, such as the collapse of the house... had been caused by Berdolbel.

But that's not because Marie considers the perimeter damage.

"Huh..."

Marie keeps firing genuine explosive bullet creatures off the Arcane shell, setting all the magazines to "burst red” with a slight tongue strike.

Those are things that easily death-dead lower levels with a single blow and do just enough damage not to be negligible, even advanced in line.

If hit, one or two of the surrounding houses will blow up for every Belledor Bell.

But that won't come true.

All the explosive bullet organisms are scattered in the hundreds of meters in front of Berdolbel and remain in the air to bloom the flames of explosion.

(oh no more...... no matter how many shots I fired from earlier)

That's Berdolbel's ability.

An all-around attack that crushes hundreds of nearby Metel objects and returns them to dust.

Marie is already convinced of what that identity is from the first staggering and several attacks, plus the information she was getting yesterday.

(Sound...)

The identity of Belledor Bell's attack is a vibrating wave that transmits air - definitely a sound.

Most of all, crushing surrounding objects is just too much sword swallowing to say sound.

(Just as my covert lineage is a derivation of ninjas, musicians also have some derivations, such as songs and the performance of instruments. Among them, that [King of Music] is probably... Conductor lineage (...))

A conductor system is a job equivalent to an orchestra conductor and a job system that specializes in "increasing the effectiveness of the music-based skills of party members”.

Musicians themselves are in non-combat positions, and most party enhancements and opponent debuffs also when participating in battles.

Therefore, the chain of command derived from it was a (...) job to support, if I may say so...

(It was the type I'd never seen before in battle)

Belledor Bell's ability to destroy, which is currently relative, is the highest among those Marie has ever fought for.

Except < super >, you can say it's top notch.

It is not easy to support a very supportive position, etc.

(Embrio >, but he must have possessed music-based skills that could be used to attack (...). this tragedy because it multiplies its power by several times with [the King of Music] skills)

In addition, Marie was treading wondering if she also had the skills to reduce consumption MP.

Otherwise, you cannot continue releasing attacks that are also equivalent to Special Abilities without interruption from the start of the fight.

(That sound attack is probably not the type that lets the intrinsic vibrations collapse together, but purely high-output vibration waves...... the type that crumbles with shock waves)

Therefore, bullet organisms also stay in range of attack for a bit, but are eventually destroyed without reaching Berdolbel.

"I hate to say it, but it's not compatible..."

Marie's remarks were true.

Bullet organisms emitted by Marie's Arcane Shell are all organisms that can change bullet species in a universal way.

Jump inside that vibrating junction and you'll be devastated.

That's the same for Marie, and I can't use her other main method of warfare, "melee ambush since I erased the signs”.

Berdolbel will not stop that vibrating junction until Marie is definitely buried.

(Well, how do you deal with it?)

Marie is a mighty man even called Super Killer.

I have sunk many of them into the sea of blood.

Some of them naturally outweighed others who were incompatible with themselves and power differences, like this one.

She's the Super Killer because she's beaten them.

(Sometimes about Eli... do you use one or eight, “Daisy” or “White Princess”?

Marie also has a trump card.

It is something that all < masters > can hold beyond a certain stage.

Special skill.

It is possible that you can break this situation by using any of Arcane Shell's Special Skills (...).

(The problem is the disadvantages. When used here, the Franklin battle will be played with missing bills)

Arcane Shell's special skills are powerful but high risk when used.

Using it would undoubtedly reduce Marie's combat power.

You can't beat < Super > by challenging your opponent with less than your full strength.

Well, that Franklin is dumb at the bottom of the battle as it stands... he wouldn't even be giving out 10%.

All we have to do is crush each other terribly, more than we couldn't finish with the first ambush.

(And...)

What I'm not showing the bottom is the same thing with the relative Berdolbel.

That vibrating junction is not the only force in Berdolbel's Embrio.

At least there are other "two streets," with mixed attacks.

(The psychiatric state abnormality defense passive has been responding since just now... is it hypnosis caused by sound waves?)

It is the hidden system that originally has high tolerance to psychiatric state abnormalities.

It is a super position and remains equipped with accessories that increase resistance to sparring with Luke during the day.

So I'm disabling it... but I'm pretty sure Berdolbel is releasing a mental system state anomaly attack with a longer range than that vibrating junction.

(another one)

Jump to the right with intuition, in line with the Brain Alert for Hazard Sensing.

Then “something invisible” passed where Marie was until the brink.

Hazard Sensing is activated again, this time kicking up the rubble at your feet before avoiding it.

Then the rubble dancing through the universe was amputated in an instant.

The cross section is unusually smooth and sharp.

(When "sound” is "disconnected"... is it an ultrasound female (...)?)

Marie thought of a way of attacking "cutting off distant objects with ultrasound" used by an old movie monster, not as a surgical instrument.

Regardless, physical phenomena do not normally make such artistry... but this is not the planet. It's a magical existence.

(Is that a magic nearby skill?... but well, that's a lot of variation for being squeezed into sound)

Ultravibration waves.

Hypnotic sound waves.

Ultrasound female.

Marie guessed that each of the three Legions serving Belledor Bell were exercising their skills separately.

(There are generally two patterns of Legion. Do you want to increase the number to tocotonnes or use a different skill pattern for each individual? Legion of Berdolbel is typical of the latter)

Distributing abilities reduces abilities per unit, but I guess Berdolbel's support skills, which are [the King of Music], are working there.

It is perhaps more enhanced than dispersed and diminished.

Marie, a fierce warrior, felt the same or more pressure from that experience than three gardners had lined up to reach the sixth form.

"It's troublesome, really..."

I know because Marie herself was.

The combination of the Super Position and the Sixth Form sets one foot in the area of Super.

Not to mention if Job has a synergistic effect.

Therefore, Berdolbel is an indisputable foe.

"It's really troublesome... even though"

Even though I say so.

"Much...... it makes me play good"

Even though the inside of the vibrating junction says that everything is a shattering hell.

The wave of sounds flowing out to its exterior was famous enough to even remember the emotion.

Both Marie... Ichimiya, with Marie as her avatar, has been to listen to classic concerts of the famous orchestra in the interview.

Even then she admired...... but the performance of the Berdolbel orchestra echoing this battlefield is not even comparable to that.

That doesn't seem to be Marie's only sentiment, and there were several cases where residents occasionally attracted to that research said they were in battle, noticing a fierce battle going on and fleeing.

"Does the skill effect of [King of Music] sound like a famous performance to you?"

'Well. At least I wrote the score.'

Marie's grunt gets the sound of words on a wave of performances.

It seems that Berdolbel still hears Marie's words, even though the central point of Berdolbel's presence would be more chaotic acoustics than this with destruction and heavenly performances.

The two are separated from hundreds of meters and cannot exchange words without vibrational junctions.

However, this conversation had been established by Berdolbel's skills in delivering sounds and listening to sounds.

"Yourself...... that's a big deal. But I don't know more and more. If it's an art clan or a combat clan, why are people like you still in the clan of robot producers?

'I'm not contributing to their creative activities either. I was also working with Grand Marshall the other day to create a new theme song'

"Gula?"

With such a joke - a true story like that - on a wave of sound, Berdolbel goes on.

'The reason I belong is simple. Because Franklin won the war ahead and will continue to be the spindle in many struggles. Because he might be a hero. Or maybe it's on the side of being defeated by a hero...... either way'

"Hero?"

'Oh, I want to see the moment a hero wakes up. I want to see the real thing with these eyes. "

Even though I say it's pseudo-audio by performance, not flesh voice.

It seemed to Marie that there was no more enthusiasm on our part.

"Then wouldn't it have been better for [the Beast King] or [the Demon General] to organize it?

"They didn't suit their tastes."

…………

More importantly, Marie swallowed a light mouth that said, "Did you have a hobby with Arre?"

I didn't weigh myself down.

It's just... because I didn't feel like I was saying it.

Soon, the sound of the performance was weakened.

The range of effects of vibration junctions will also be reduced.

(MP out...... no!

Marie's upset elsewhere. Berdolbel turns the baton and stops.

That means the end of the performance.

Did you follow that modus operandi, or the three bodies that are Berdolbel's < Embrio > stop playing.

The music stops, the destruction that was swinging around, and the famous performances in heaven stop altogether.

Now was a good time, and Marie couldn't attack.

It is not perception by skill.

A woman's inquiry... or animal instinct, is alarming.

"Percussion solo. Strings and Horn are tuned."

That's the first time since this battle began, Berdolbel's flesh voice.

Shortly after his words, Kobold walks forward and sets up a hanging drum.

Ketsey and Centaur lined up behind Kobold - pulling the cable out of the machine's body and connecting it to Kobold's body.

"...... Huh!!"

True the opposite of earlier.

A warning that insight provides that if you don't move, if you don't stop it, it's not good.

But...

"Ofu."

Shortly before filling the distance, Marie threw up blood.

That's not all. With the bleeding from the orbit and earlobes, he is suffering from strong dizziness and is unable to move his body properly.

(Damage...... what)

That's how I realize.

The performance should have stopped...... the surrounding dust is vibrating slightly.

As if swayed by a wave of intense sounds.

(This is loud... it's also a low frequency sound below the human audible range!

Low frequency sound.

That's a wave of sound with a wavelength lower than 20 Hz, the lower limit of the human audible range.

But the sound exists just because you can't hear it.

That is the volume that unintentionally blocks the ear if it is in the audible range, even if it breaks the tympanic membrane and damages the nerves... the sound exists without hearing and erodes the human body.

(But from where... up!

She reactivates the Covered Nursing skill she used to look for Franklin, and Marie looks up into the sky.

Satellites similar to the moon of the Earth floated in the night sky I looked up to - there was an integrated silhouette floating against that background.

- The shadow was a harpy figure that hung a keyboard instrument connected by a belt and played cleverly with his toenails.

"Fourth body...!

Marie noticed.

Belledor, Belle's thoughts.

Why yesterday and today...... I have been playing in Central Square for the past few days.

To impress and mislead Belledor Belle's Legion as a "triple pair”.

The fourth body attack, which is also completely concealed from the thought, stops the opponent's foot and stops the roots of his breath with exactly the big moves he is about to unleash now.

That's the Berdolbel score (score).

That's the Berdolbel orchestra.

Marie sees Harpy flying over.

Being at a fixed point without moving all the time is also a ploy to attract your gaze to yourself and the trinity and keep you from noticing the harpy upstairs.

From the beginning, before tonight's battle began, Berdolbel wrote a score to make this flow.

Harpy then descends under the Berdolbell and connects the cable to Kobold, just like Centaur and Ketsey.

Four semi-animal leggions, lined up in a row.

Seeing the sight, Marie perceives.

(Oh, I see)

She noticed. Belledor, Belle's bird hat is one way to mislead him.

A disguise to keep you from thinking "birds are missing” when you look at the three non-harpy bodies and anticipate what the < embrio > motif is.

Centaur is a donkey horse.

Ketsey is a cat.

Kobold is a dog.

Harpy is a chicken.

Four pairs of animal music teams.

Namely, the name of Berdolbel is….

"Beast Seismic Orchestra (Bremen)" - "Percussion"

Sounds familiar - with the declaration of special skill, the concentrated emitted ultravibration waves ravaged the surrounding space for each marie.

Vibrating waves pass at sonic speeds and a moment of silence arrives in the world.

After it passed, it was a crushed accomplishment… nothing remained but dust crushed by what was shaped.

And Marie's appearance... was nowhere.

To be continued
