＜Infinite Dendrogram＞

■

Bremen.

[King of Music] Four pairs of TYPE used by Berdolbel: Legion.

Centaur shaped strings playing strings (violin).

Ketsey shaped horn that blows the brass instrument (flute).

Kobold-shaped percussion that beats percussion (bass drum).

Harpy Kraville playing keyboard instruments (piano).

Each of the four bodies is responsible for a separate kind of instrument, and even the sound of other instruments of that kind can be played at the same time, emitting a melody that outperforms the orchestra with only four bodies.

Then, if it is a form of combat, each destroys the enemy with ultrasound females, hypnotic music, vibrating waves, and low frequency sounds.

For Berdolbel, who had devoted his life to music before coming to < Infinite Dendrogram > and now also sought battle, he realized that his < Embrio > abilities were just for him.

This can be said of other masters, most of whom are convinced of their abilities.

It was natural, in a sense, not to dislike it because it was a snail of power that arose more than within itself.

But that being the case, Berdolbel honestly disliked it when he first saw his < Embrio >.

What Berdolbel didn't like was his own "motif".

< Embrio > are all inspired by the myths, legends, fairy tales, great men, etc. of the earth to determine their names and appearances.

Same goes for Bremen in Belledor Belle.

The fairy tale that most humans heard as children, in some civilized area, is the motif of Bremen's musical team.

But Berdolbel hated Bremen's musical team.

- Bremen's musical team are animals who have embarked on a journey with the ideal of becoming a musical team

- But in the end, we took the warm house and meal away from the bandits, where the satisfied and rested beast

- They compromised.

It holds an ideal and is never acceptable to Berdolbel, who pours his whole body out to shape the ideal.

And it's like having once attempted to compromise and degrade and shape your ideals with your own stupidity, as it were.

Therefore, Berdolbel continued to dislike his appearance.

At the same time, however, Berdolbel is….

◇ ◆

…………

Berdolbel stood alone on Gideon Ninth Street, which had been turned into ruins.

Bremen's special skill, the Beast Seismic Orchestra.

A skill that concentrates all of Bremen's power as one, a legion, releasing musical skills at outputs far above normal times.

Although it is a rare special skill in which four-street patterns exist due to its nature, this blow, which has expanded the oscillating waves of percussion, has chosen the boulevard over several kilometres.

This does not change whether it is a special skill or a music-based skill, and is the result of several times more effective riding due to [the King of Music] 's passive skill, "Command of the King of Music".

Until then, its power can even be said to be different digits than that of the vibrating junction.

There was no crowd to avoid getting involved in the fight more than the original, but even if there was someone there wouldn't even be any shards left.

Some of them... Marie doesn't even look like her now.

"Acoustic Exploration"

Berdolbel orders the three non-percussion bodies to explore and search the perimeter.

Each of the three bodies sounds and explores its surroundings like a sonar.

Even if you hide yourself, if you have an entity, you must find it.

"You're not here."

The conclusion is never-ending.

There are no organisms within range.

That meant Marie had already left < Infinite Dendrogram > by way of a death penalty.

Or did you manage to escape and head to Franklin?

Either way, Berdolbel beat Marie.

"..." Hardbeat Pulpalisation, "disarm"

Berdolbel finally unlocks the "Hardbeat Pulpalisation" - vibrating junction there.

Truth be told, when I stopped waving tact just before my special skill, and even after I let it go, the vibrational junction had not been lifted once.

The exception is only the moment you were releasing The Beast Seismic Orchestra.

At that moment, if Marie had penetrated after deciding that the performance was over, she would have scattered without waiting for the use of the Beast Seismic Orchestra.

"… to boulders, have you consumed"

The music-based skills used by Bremen are multiplied by the passivity of the [King of Music], with consumption MP and SP being a fraction.

Still, the skills that continue to be as powerful and developed as Hardbeat Palpation are costly.

If we continue to deploy, we will shred the MP and SP of Berdolbel, a super position, by 4% in a minute.

The use of Special Skills is also combined, and in order to conserve and restore MP and SP, Berdolbel first releases the Vibration Junction and attempts to use the Recovery Item.

Moments later, a flash of blade ran breaking Berdolbel's spine.

!?

That flash is inhibited by the lethal attack disabling effect of the accessory [lifesaving brooch] worn by Belledor Bell.

But the attack doesn't stay flash.

Someone who sparked a flash continues to release dozens of slashes on his back and around his neck faster than Berdolbell and Bremen take the next action.

"Hardbeat Palpation!

The moment Horn, who acted in that way, unfolded a vibrating junction of sound speeds, the raiders are jumping backwards at "supersonic speeds”.

"You...... you are!?"

In a performance similar to the previous one, Berdolbel spins the words.

Because in flesh voices, they are extinguished by the vibrating kingdom.

However, it is not necessary to ask who the Raiders are… in words.

"Sixteen on the right, twenty on the left. Well, did you run out of substitutes?

Paralysis Dagger [Paralysis Bee Sword Belspan], also an anecdotal weapon on your right hand, and an attack orbital cover-up dagger on your left [Nightpane].

It is the figure of [stunning] Marie Adler equipped with two different daggers.

(Wide...)

Just because the enemy's shadow disappears completely and doesn't hang on the sonar, Berdolbel shouldn't have lifted the vibrational junction.

Marie was unable to launch the attack because, for one thing, she was held back by the vibrational junction.

If you are not defending yourself in the vibrating junction of the speed of sound, Berdolbel will be killed in an instant.

Belledor Belle is a super position [King of Music].

But it's only a non-combatant super position.

Its physical status is extremely low, except for MP, SP and DEX, which boast close proximity to the top of the battle system in combination with Bremen.

Exactly as we have now been attacked by AGI-specific combat superiors, if approached, Berdolbel will be killed dozens of times before he takes one action.

Because, as Marie said to Ray at noon, the difference in the number of actions due to combat speed differences exists as a pre-tactical and trick issue.

Belledor Bell was outdone by the effect of the equipment,

(crushed, or)

Fully equipped defenses and substitute weaponry were all lost in the current contact.

Berdolbel is determined.

He said he would never solve the vibrational junction until he definitely defeated the opponent in front of him.

"How did you beat the Beast Seismic Orchestra?"

"Well, how do you do that?"

Marie grins sparingly.

But the fruit, not so much room.

The damage sustained in Kraville's low-frequency attack had not recovered, and the SP was on the verge of depletion.

Depletion of SP.

That was the price Marie paid for surpassing The Beast Seismic Orchestra - the cost of "Deep Righteousness”.

Hidden Systems Super Position [Absolute Shadow] Deep Righteous "The Art of Cancer".

Only for a short time - completely “disappearing" from the world, is the greatest secret of the covert system.

It doesn't look like everything, it doesn't touch everything, it doesn't sound like everything.

Complete stealth ability.

It is the identity of a technique that unharmed and outraged the Special Ability as if it were a weaponization of destruction.

It was also this skill that allowed Marie to escape the Great Arena.

It's not a powerful direct attack system like [Corpse Fairy] 's True Fire True Light Blast Dragon Heel, but it's comparable or surpassed its skills.

Irrespective of the drain is intense, an extremely bad fuel consumption that would root out Marie's SP if it disappeared for less than a minute.

I used it for thirty seconds now, but if I included the amount spent by then, I would cut the SP residual amount of Marie by 20%.

But it was also worth it, cutting off all of Berdolbel's defenses in a melee ambush from a dead swing.

(... only this opponent, will you be sure to knock them down)

Marie abandoned her later struggle to use the "consumer art".

Belledorbell in front of you is far more dangerous and powerful than expected, and if you don't defeat him here for sure, you will greatly reduce the likelihood that anyone but yourself will even defeat Franklin, that's what I thought.

Therefore, Marie decided to defeat Berdolbel with her own whole spirit, and took one bullet out of the crest of the left-handed - Embrio.

That's three times bigger than the "paint" pod I usually pack in Arcane Shell, with red and black on the sides...... character paintings (...).

"It's not over yet. Leaving on this occasion now is unacceptable '

Words arrive by Belledor Belle playing.

"Perhaps tonight is the turning point in the history of the land. An act to be portrayed as a legend '

While it was an examination of the sound, it was more emotional than the flesh voice.

"Therefore, you cannot leave until you burn the moment into your eyes and carve it into your soul"

Belledorvel can roar with sound as he runs blood through both eyes under a hat that mimics a bird.

'Otherwise...... I cannot complete my work!!'

It is the figure of one who desperately craved something.

Marie... Marie's manipulative palace has seen her in the mirror more than once.

"... oh well"

Marie squeaks, like she was good at it.

"You... you're close to me"

To get something you're missing.

To bury something you're missing.

To move my work forward.

who set foot in this world.

In one respect, Marie and Berdolbel were identical.

"Still, you'll be asked to leave here. Old man."

Ichimiya is - Marie doesn't hesitate.

Because if we do not abolish Berdolbel, we will not be able to achieve our own ends.

And - because even the memories of yesterday's girl will be engulfed with grief.

Marie doesn't hesitate to crush herself and the mirrored man.

"Unplug... little girl..."

When I told him so, the tone of communicating the words stopped,

"Final orchestra!"

By flesh voice, a declaration of use of skills was made.

It's the depths of [the King of Music] - a life-threatening performance conductor that will further multiply the effects of music-based skills in the next minute in exchange for 90% of his own HP.

Immediately after skill use, four bodies of Bremen join together.

With another special skill, now is the time to bury Marie.

"Hate and disrespect are my characters."

And Marie spinned the pistol at hand - the arcane shell with a kurli.

Moments, Arcane Shell makes a big difference in its appearance.

Take the barrel that was a six-second magazine gun (revolver) - into a large single-shot pistol.

Load the large bullet you took out earlier and point the muzzle towards Berdolbell.

Marie has no way of avoiding it or flirting with it at supersonic manoeuvres.

Is that to avoid being dealt with and discussed?

Or… because of my personal desire to challenge a man standing in this < Infinite Dendrogram > for the same reasons as myself.

Both.

There was a distance between us, but nothing like it.

The blow that you two are about to unleash now is a special attack together.

Whichever wins, whichever loses... I'll settle for this blow.

After a moment of silence - both moved.

"" Rainbow Fantasy Gun (Arcanshell) - "Daisy Scarlett of the Bombings" "Huh!!"

"" Beast Seismic Orchestra (Bremen) - "Horn" "Huh!!"

The two Special Skills clashed - settled.

◇ ◆

The Beast Seismic Orchestra has four patterns.

Strings of Magic Slash.

Percussion of extensive physical attacks.

Kraville in stealth low frequency attack.

And it is the horn of hypnotic music.

Why did Berdolbel choose the only non-damaging horn of the four?

There were about three reasons for that.

The first was because percussion could have been outdone as well as earlier.

Berdolbell doesn't know how Marie outplayed Percussion's Beast Seismic Orchestra.

Therefore, he thought that the same hand would be avoided with the same hand.

The second is the presence of substitute accessories.

Berdolbel himself endured Marie's series of attacks with accessories.

By the same token, if Marie possessed an accessory that would invalidate instant death damage, it would likely not have ended with a simple attack.

The same holds true for the first Beast Seismic Orchestra, but there is also the aspect that in order not to release the vibrating junction in non-playing state after the use of special skills, the only way to do so was to shoot percussion, the source of the vibrating junction, on the spindle.

In contrast, the hypnotic sound wave of the horn had the advantage that it would continue to die on its own until it died whether it had accessories once hung.

And for the third, the biggest reason.

The music released with Bremen's special skills, using the depths of [The King of Music].

The most complete of these is Horn, purely “as music”.

The complacency that this can't make the mind, spirit, and soul of the other person swing.

The horn's performance, which unites the powers of Bremen and releases them in the whole body and spirit, is an examination of the divine domain.

A melody worthy of giving one's own life as consideration.

Yes, Horn's melodies, combined with Deep Righteousness and Special Skills, are not in the realm of hypnotic music.

It's so divine that it makes them give their lives.

Polar of [fascination] if you say so.

The sound of inadvertently trumpeting every resist and putting his life to the hands of numerous mighty men.

This is the tremendous - trust - that those who do not fall have never been alone before.

Berdolbel hated the Bremen motif.

But at the same time, I loved Bremen's music more than anyone else.

Disliked the way Bremen looked, the man most believed in the sound of Bremen… that's The Beast Seismic Orchestra by Horn.

This can't keep you from falling, and if you do, you have no problem releasing the vibrating junction for defense.

Yes, Horn's investigation has defeated all enemies until now.

- I couldn't defeat one woman right now.

"Heh... why...?

Berdolbel raises questions with his dying body.

There were also appearances of the Bremen around him who had caused the body of the machine to crush.

Berdolbel, who devoted 90% of his HP, is still alive after a clash of special skills… thanks to four broken embryos who became walls on the brink.

But it showed one fact.

- Lost.

Berdolbel is aware of the fact and is therefore questionable.

"You're my winner."

There was another, no “two” appearance in front of Belledor Bell.

Needless to say, one [shadows out] Marie Adler.

The other is the bullet creature Marie fired by Arcane Shell's special skill - no, “Daisy Scarlett of the Bombings”.

That's the red girl.

The same girl Marie was painting on the cartridge of the loaded bullet.

She laughs furiously as she shows teeth similar to her fangs - one of the characters created by cartoonist Ichimiya in her work Into the Shadow.

Arcanshell's special skill, Rainbow Fantasy Gun.

That's usually the skill of using “paint” that produces bullet organisms by packing them into a magazine, and Marie herself using "drawn” bullets. Special and powerful bullet organisms are released from such bullets.

Competencies depend on the “paint” used to draw - Marie portrayed her comic book characters reproducible with each “paint” characteristic.

“Daisy Scarlett of the Bombings" was portrayed by one of them by "The Red Bombing” and “The Black Tracking”.

It continues to have small explosions around it today, preceded by such a big explosion that the radius of 100 meters becomes even more ground, a thing that defeated Bremen and Berdolbell.

"Why aren't you dead listening to Horn's, life-compensating melody?

Berdolbel was not surprised that he and Bremen were dying.

We shot each other with special skills, that's what happens.

But it was strange that Marie and “Daisy” were not dead (...).

Berdolbel was aware that Marie's < Embrio > was what fired the bullet organism.

So if things were to go according to the plan, Marie would have killed herself by touching the horn's melody no matter what bullet life she released.

Whether it's a monster, that's a mechanical doll, it's melodic enough to hurt yourself in consideration.

I couldn't believe that it didn't make sense.

"... I'm sorry. Neither I nor this girl listened to that melody."

"Listen, aren't you there?

To the words, Berdolbel was stunned.

What is this woman talking about?

"Yeah, 'cause"

That's how Marie pointed to “Daisy" and said:

"Because this kid's explosion is blowing up the air around him. I can't hear you."

Terrible, simple story.

A sound is a vibration, and it is not transmitted to the target without something that conveys the vibration, such as air or water.

Thus, Marie blew the ambient air by the “Daisy" explosion - creating a wall of uninterrupted vacuum of sound.

…………

If this was a string of magic attacks or a percussion of a high-output, wide-ranging attack, I might have left it to the output to bring it in for a hit.

But the melody of Horn, a refined and divine domain, makes no sense unless it reaches the other person's ear precisely.

"The melody of life as consideration. I'd also like to hear it... because that's not now."

"... Ha, I didn't know you didn't like corner music... you're a filthy little girl"

Not to regret, unfortunately...... Berdolbel closes that eye lid.

Marie pointed the muzzle at Belledor Bell,

"Goodbye, [King of Music]"

I struck out his forehead.

That was how one battle was settled and the club disappeared from Gideon's board.

◇ ◆

"... that's tough"

After the settlement, Marie exhaled heavily and knelt.

Remove the high quality SP Recovery Potion from the wristband-shaped item box and swallow slightly.

SP almost bottomed out with the use of "consumer technology" and "rainbow phantom gun".

I have a healing item, but it does not heal with a single use.

Anyway, if it's a weakly effective recovery item, what super jobs use is powerful. Instead, continuous use over a short period of time is ineffective.

It takes some time for the SP level to return to combatable status again.

Besides, there is still damage from low-frequency attacks.

And......

"Now you can't use“ red ”and“ black ”anymore"

There are two major disadvantages of Rainbow Fantasy Guns.

First, the character must be drawn on the bullet beforehand, and the bullet itself can only stock up to six shots.

The only bullet in the possession of “Daisy” was the one I just shot, so “Daisy" cannot be used until I draw it again.

And the second disadvantage.

The "paint” used for the "Rainbow Phantom Gun" bullet… cannot be reused for 24 hours after using the "Rainbow Phantom Gun".

Used for “Daisy" are “Red Blast" of explosive power and “Black Tracking" of tracking ability. For the rest of the day, I can't use bombs that are powerful and tracking bullets that excel at hitting power.

This is the same thing with the other Special Bullets in Rainbow Fantasy Gun if it includes "Red Blast” and “Black Pursuit”.

Powerful and versatile. However, the disadvantages are also extremely great.

Squeeze out your own costs and draw characters.

That was Marie's special skill.

"When this happens, it seems impossible for me to defeat Franklin. But......"

Franklin is the same type as Belledor Bell.

It is the type of non-combatant who outperforms a combat position in a synergy with his own < Embrio >.

That was horrible, but if it is the other way around......

"It's not like they don't have a chance to win."

He looked Marie on the run with Elizabeth, and during the battle with Berdolbel.

We're heading to the west gate, see the Rays.

The target is Super. An opponent even higher than Belledor Bell, who Marie herself defeated on the verge of stabbing him wrong.

Normally, there's not a single chance Rookie wins.

Still......

"They might be able to"

Ray has broken down a number of mighty enemies in character.

Luke took Marie's arm while in non-combat.

Those two could win.

Perhaps it will rescue Elizabeth.

Even such pale hope boils down.

"Heh heh... but I can't let them go all the way backwards."

Throw away the empty bottle of [SP Recovery Potion] and Marie stands.

"Me too... shall I do what I can"

So he murmured, [shadowed] Marie Adler ran away to disappear into the shadows of Gideon's city.

To be continued
