＜Infinite Dendrogram＞

■ [Extinct Tiger Closer]

[Endless Tiger Closer] and the Tiger named to the world were born more than six hundred years ago now in the time of < Infinite Dendrogram >.

Born in what is now Cardinal territory… in dense forests which were not deserts at the time.

[Closer] has been [Out of bounds Tiger Closer] since birth......

[Closer] I don't remember when I wasn't, I was a born strong man.

Even when the child tiger was the most at risk of death in nature, [Closer] was the strongest in its survival zone.

That's so much so that the monster I ran into with him that I gave up and fed myself.

Everything was weaker than [Closer], only bait, and nothing to challenge.

Yes, by birth [Closer] was the strongest being in that dense forest...... from those living in the neighborhood he was like a god.

But it was, or [Closer] never felt comfortable with that dense forest.

If he fixed what he always thought to be people's words... it would be something called "This is a caged bird".

It is ironic that a tiger is a bird, but it was his red heart.

It was full from the beginning in the dense woods, but therefore his heart never sounded.

I guess that's why.

A year after becoming an adult...... [Closer] flew out of the dense forest and took a journey to the East.

[Closer] 's power as an adult at the time was something like < Epic UBM > when it came to world standards.

On his journey to the East, there were tians and monsters who challenged him to battle... but they were all defeated by him.

Of all the journeys since leaving the dense forest, he was the strongest.

Its strongest came to an end after it reached the East.

To one old man [Closer] was defeated by no skin.

The old man's attack did not go through the junction he makes, on the contrary, neither his claw fangs nor his attacking junction made sense to the old man... [Closer], who was supposed to be the strongest, was like a baby.

The old man was called the [Dragon Emperor].

A monster who was born with strong powers as well as a closer and continued to train it for hundreds of years.

The most powerful presence in the Yellow River at the time.

Yes, [Closer] met the strongest but himself for the first time and lost.

Thus, [Dragon Emperor] trapped [Closer] in the bead by secret art.

[Closer] since his defeat to [Dragon Emperor] and his sealing of the beads, was full of wonder.

Where I was strongest, I felt like I'd never felt it before.

For the first time, I was leaping my mind.

"... did I want this"

Fighting enemies above their own.

[Closer] understands.

That's what I was looking for.

Knowing what he wanted, [Closer] wished.

He wants to leave this bead and fight that [dragon emperor] again.

◆

But [Closer] 's first wish did not come true.

Because a few years after [Closer] was sealed in the beads, [Dragon Emperor] died in full Heavenly Life.

[Dragon Emperor] knew in advance that his life span would run out.

That's why I didn't crusade [Closer] and sealed it in the beads.

Crusade, if it is a benefit weapon, it will be recovered to the world (system) with its own death, but if it is enclosed in the beads, it will remain after death.

After thinking about the Yellow River Empire after he was gone, and the young emperor who had just taken the throne of emperor, [Dragon Emperor] left the beads behind.

Even though [Dragon Emperor] suddenly died a few years after his own death, he could not have expected the Yellow River Empire to break into two.

On the rabbit and on the corner, [Closer] lost his opponent, who he identified as his favourite enemy, while remaining sealed in the bead.

Among the beads, [Closer] was able to detect the death of [Dragon Emperor].

Because [Dragon Emperor] was powerful enough to see he was gone, or because the technique of sealing him in a bead was made by [Dragon Emperor]?

Either way, he knew [Dragon Emperor] was dead.

I was deeply saddened by it, but I was also thinking about it.

"It's a shame you can't rematch that old man"

"But as far as I know, the world is wide."

"I'm sure some of them, like that old man, will fight my heart out"

[Closer] hoped so.

He wants to fight the mighty again someday.

At the same time, I was thinking of one possibility.

"I'm going to be used as a bead, as a magic item"

"That must be a fierce battle"

"Any chance the beads break and it may also come true to go outside"

"Then I'll be able to find someone to fight with."

With such anticipation and waiting for the opportunity...... [Closer] delayed meditation in the beads.

◆

But contrary to the thought, [Closer] was foolish in the beads, leaving them not even to be let out...... a few years went by.

There was a fierce battle that [Closer] had in mind, a civil war over the Emperor's throne… even in that vortex [Closer] was never even used as a magic item, but in a collection.

Because the ancient dragons hesitated to use the legacy of the previous generation [Dragon Emperor] for civil war.

That was good sense when it came to good sense, but it was unnecessary care if you tried [closer].

That's how the civil war ended with [Closer] going through the battle… [Closer] 's beads were given to the Tundranians and they were to cross west.

During that journey, [Closer] understood that his own junction was being used.

Whenever it was used in this way, I thought, 'Is there something terrible about the strong that appears, breaks this bead, and doesn't fight me?'

And it came to pass that the dragon men reached the western land, without the fierce enough to exchange it.

And the beads of [Closer] were worshipped as gods.

The dragon men worship and dedicate him, performing festive songs and dances once a year.

They truly respected him.

He was worshipped and served as a patron saint for generations without ever using him to fight.

[Closer] was desperate for it.

More than not being able to rematch [Dragon Emperor], more than not being able to take part in a civil war, more than not being worshipped by the failure of the powerful to show up on their journey to the west... I was desperate.

Um, because after you jump out of the dense forest and find your true desire, you're being pulled back into a situation similar to that dense forest.

Because it's the same as it was when it was full but "nothing" in the dense forest.

Respected or loved, so [Closer] is not happy.

Because happiness for [Closer] is about making your mind jump in a life-threatening battle with the strong.

"The Strong One."

Me, the struggle, the mighty.

He earnestly wished.

But his happiness remains unfulfilled... six hundred years later.

◆

Over time, he wears out little by little.

In the beads, they fade little by little, even if they are not hungry or thirsty.

Within six hundred years, the power of [Closer], who was an epic, was also depressed to the anecdote level.

"Struggle..."

"Give the mighty..."

With that in mind, [Closer] was in a gentle shaking cage.

It's been hundreds of years as it is, and I thought I'd just be worshipped until my life was quietly exhausted.

At that time, [Lonely Wolf Shadow Faeul], the < UBM > other than him, attacked and [Extinct Tiger Closer] was unleashed.

"The Time Has Come"

"The time has come... here it is!!"

At that moment, his heart is wrapped in joy and anticipation.

At the same time, for the first time in hundreds of years, I have unleashed my full power and developed a great junction that encompasses one mountain.

In addition, the black junction that serves as a battlefield with the strong man in front of you - [Faeul] has also been developed.

[Closer] was hungry.

To the struggle, I was hungry.

[Faeul] in front of you is not enough.

[Faeul] Next up is all the creatures in this mountain.

Next, all the creatures in this country.

"Struggle!

"Six hundred years of impatience, it's time to fight!!"

[Closer] was going to slap all of his own struggling desires, which had been enclosed for six hundred years, all over the land.

Fortunately for him, his first opponent, [Faeul], was strong.

Keeping fighting [Closer] and not falling even after a week of fighting, [Faeul] was the best opponent for [Closer].

In that way, the “rust” of [Closer] 's exploration and abilities can also be removed during the battle.

Gradually, gradually, the output of [Closer] 's power increases.

I'm starting to regain my powers as a once lost Epic... or heading ahead.

"Determine the Competition"

"Defeat this wolf, then fight the earthlings, then fight all more of the land"

"It's a Feast of Fight!!"

Oddly enough, however, [Closer] 's wishes will not come true again.

Sudden fall of the summit.

Immediately thereafter, the departure of [Faeul] through the intervention of the bear.

…………

All I can say is that I was watered.

[Closer] is only dissatisfied with its aye-free settlement.

But...

"Excuse me. I apologize for interrupting the duel"

There was a new one standing in front of [Closer].

"But now, I want you to die with me. An old legendary tiger."

It was human.

human beings, but not far from the former [dragon emperor].

Even compared to [Faeul], the lattice would fall.

But from the very beginning, the man stood there to fight [Closer].

Knowing [Closer] as [Closer], I understood by instinct that he was here to fight [Closer].

I was just a little happy with why that challenge...... [Closer].

Therefore, [Closer] took the challenge.

"It's the first understudy of the struggle in hundreds of years. Don't die easily."

[Closer], with words, develops his own ability to "rust” … The Aggressive Slash Junction, which he once was best at.

It's a myriad of rod-shaped junctions.

Each is a shield that prevents numerous attacks… at the same time it is a blade that wants to slash the opponent.

Once in the dense forest, in the desert, the challenger - laughing - had before him the “claw teeth” of [Closer], which had torn apart every elephant.

"I see...... This is" exciting ""

Slightly raise the edge of your mouth to make your eyes shine challenger.

[Closer] thinks to the challenger who still laughs at his “claw teeth”.

- Me, too.

And [Closer] jumped to the challenger - Figaro.
