＜Infinite Dendrogram＞

Lesson five.

□ [Saint Knight] Ray Sterling

Then when you sleep of your own free will, you fall conscious and fall asleep, just as you do in reality.

But not those slow sleeps, slightly different if you are forced to lose consciousness.

My body is [stunned], but my consciousness remains awake.

It is a form of being detached from the flesh and in a space of consciousness only.

"... here again (...)"

The first time I got into this state was in the fight against [Gozmaize].

At that time he was thrown into the world of memory reproduction and encountered a red and black silhouette that created that world of reproduction.

So, a month in dendro time since then. There were two or three times when I [fainted] in the same way when I was exploring.

And just like now (...) I was to stand in a dark space.

Unlike the first, there's no world that reproduced my memory, and I haven't even seen that red and black silhouette.

Instead, in the center of the space there is a placard like this.

[Preparing now]

[Coming Soon…]

"... so what are you getting ready for?"

Whimpering, but of course not responding.

The plaque would have been put up by the red and black silhouette - [Gardranda, the armor of the hand].

This is all I've been doing lately when I [faint].

It's not a memory reproduction world, as it was then, only placing bills in a space of nothing.

Well, it's this space of nothing to visit originally in [Stun], and I should say it's as weird as there's a placard.

Similar to other psychiatric state disorders. Even if the player protection function gives the result of a mental state abnormality, there is no process for the mental state to follow.

So instead of really losing consciousness when you [pass out], you have to wait until the [pass out] of your flesh is lifted in this space of nothing, that's why.

It seems that [Gardranda] was creating a world that reproduced my memories here.

"If I can't see him again this time, I'll have to wait and do it now..."

There were a few things I wanted to make sure of him, but I had no choice.

... Well, the time to just wait is just right for you to think.

I close my eyes and remind myself of a contact that I can't even say was fought a while ago.

- You can beat the absolutely strong to the point of compatibility. - Heh, Boya.

…………

Those are the words of the Saito Moon Night just before [passing out].

It's not like when you fought Franklin, who's been putting together meta measures against me and Nemesis.

He was winning by compatibility, but was lightly overshadowed by pure power differences.

You can call it a complete defeat.

I've been relative to Super several times before.

However, they are mostly simulated battles with accidental contact or chest borrowing.

I was totally hostile, except for this moon and night, only Franklin.

In Franklin's case, [RSK] and Franklin himself were defeated by me, but most of his power was defeated by his brother.

Compared to those experiences...... earlier dependency moon nights.

Strong, on top of a clear malice towards this one.

I guess it's basically a support system because the inherent skills of < Super Embrio > are debuff and super positions in the priesthood... it's not like Franklin.

Such a horrible opponent... is obsessed with me.

Susan Moon Night somehow seemed to want to draw me into my clan... religion.

You won't let me go when I wake up.

The only way to log out is to harm yourself or fight a battle to escape from the home of the Moon World Party.

Then,

"... we'll have to do it"

We just have to fight whether it's that horrible opponent or not.

It's my style to grasp that very slight possibility, even if it's not 1% likely.

"Though... there's a problem. That womanizer...... I'm really scared."

Yes, even at this time I was afraid of the moonlight of Busan.

Before the difference in strength...... I am under pressure.

More than anything I've ever been relative to that feminized student... I learned fear.

It's a strange story to find more scary than the first relative [Demidragworm] in this world or [Gardranda] and [Gozmaize] who were horrible monsters.

I'm scared, but I don't know one thing why I'm scared.

... but if I knew it was something scary, I wouldn't be as scared next time as I was last time.

"Mental is fine... how do I expect to win the rest,"

The opponent easily threatens even this life activity with extensive debuffs, and "Hell's Qi" and "Reversal is like a Flying Flag" do not go through.

Then I'll have to hit something else......

The Wind Hoop bomb still doesn't have enough MP storage (it can't be used all over the city in the first place).

I can't use Purgatory Fire either because I don't have my left hand.

Revenge will also save little for damage counters.

And then there's something like "Another Silver Light in Holiness"... but that chemistry, whatever the contents, Job is completely holy, so I guess not. There must have been a skill in reducing Holy Attribute Damage in the Passive of the Priesthood.

Pure status seemed to be higher than mine too, whether it was for the level to challenge the vegetarian melee... or whether it was planting anything into a job configuration other than [the pope].

You can move from the kick that cut my consciousness.

Speaking of how much...... my brother was in the Ankla tournament, about as pretty as the players in the main battle.

Maybe he's doing something in real life.

"Steady... even if my condition is bad, how come you're completing me better than Franklin, who aimed and countered?

Well, even Franklin said, "I hope you don't get me wrong! If I could have given you all my strength, you'd have won it all! Though I'm likely to disagree."

But I found out in this case that there is still a clear difference in total power, even if it can partly exceed the < super > thought.

I can't even grasp the possibility that when I wake up, the moon night of dependence is going to be stronger than the war is waiting for me and in the near future.

"Speaking of getting stronger... evolution"

evolution. It is the greatest characteristic and the most dramatic enhancement of < Embrio >.

They are the ones who have reached the seventh form themselves, so if you try to catch up, you should evolve first.

However, our nemesis has never evolved since it evolved into a second form in the fight against [Gardranda].

Luke's Babi, who entered the same period, has already reached the fourth form… advanced.

Marie says it's not weird to ask, if there's a month, it's usually in a third form.

... Well, I have an idea why the evolution of nemesis is so slow.

It must be because of that illegible system that came out during the evolution of Nemesis into the second form.

The window then should have said that the next evolution would be delayed instead of being able to evolve optimally for the situation then.

That's fine in itself.

If I hadn't evolved into a [Black Flag Axe Spear] with "Reversal" then I wouldn't have beaten [Gardranda] and then I wouldn't have beaten the [Gozmaize]...... if I hadn't gotten [Purple Grievance Axe] I wouldn't have beaten Franklin's case either.

It was only then that we were able to dive through previous incidents with evolution.

So I can't help but delay evolution due to side effects.

The question is how long that delay will last.

No way, it won't even remain a second form the whole time.

"... it's time for some signs of evolution."

There will be no such thing as a convenient evolution to the boulder and the nose of the moon and moon.

"For him, too."

I know Nemesis is constantly worried about things he can't evolve.

He's not going to say anything because he's going to hide it from me, but I want him to evolve it for himself.

………… ……

"Hmm?"

As I thought about the evolution of nemesis, I felt I heard voices from somewhere far away.

"...... i!... Ru!

"Nemesis?"

The voice that calls me belongs to Nemesis.

A ghost voice as if through thick glass.

"Ray! Wake up!

The moment Nemesis's voice was clearly heard, the space of consciousness disappeared and my consciousness was drawn back to the avatar.

◇

"Ugh..."

"Wake up!

I woke up. The place was on the tatami in that japanese room where I was first put to sleep.

There is a nemesis beside me, as usual.

That would be normal, but the nemesis looked very pressing... and the condition of the room was not normal either.

First of all, the wall is about two sides gone.

It's a piece of wood dust as if it was blown away by a bomb.

The condition of this facility, which looks even beyond the walls gone, was also, in a nutshell, miserable.

sunset sky can be seen from beyond the slippery roof of the roof tile,

vision is opened because the walls and columns are broken,

Countless condiments are scattered.

It was like a major earthquake... or even a tornado, but no.

This tragedy was created in the hands of men.

How do you know that?

Because at the heart of the tragedy, there are two people I know.

"- Let me guess, shall we? This sick and weak Prince."

"- Can you get a death penalty soon and give you back, Ray?

There were two of them.

◇ ◇ ◇

□ - Home

Time goes back only slightly.

Figaro arrived at the home of the Moon Sessions long enough before Ray was woken up by Nemesis.

It hasn't been as long since I left Gideon. If you try him, it is the path of King's Capital and Gideon, which you are accustomed to going through, and the gear made him specialized in AGI enhancement.

In front of the home of the Moon Sessions, he was equipped.

Anti-debuff protective gear suitable for the opponent you are about to fight and a huge stone axe that could be smashed even in the mansion.

Finally...... turn on the monocle as an accessory.

The monocle is not so rare. It is a substitute used to detect traps and such, simply because of its light Clairvoyance skills.

But Figaro didn't intend to use it for trap detection.

This is simply for looking at the other person's left hand back (...).

Yes, only < master > has a crest on the back of his left hand,

"If we defeat all (...), Ray, we'll have to let you go."

- The monocle was needed to identify the Master who was going to kill us all.

This brain muscle that Shu asked me to rescue Ray was going to save Ray by killing all of the Master of the Moon.

Unfortunately, no one on this occasion can point out the problem of the act,

"Shall we?"

The cerebral muscles begin (...) by throwing a giant stone axe at the main entrance of the Moon.

The main gate collapsed with a blow......, the brain muscles stepped over the gate that turned into rubble and rode into the home base.

Thus begins the festival of collapse of cult religious institutions by virtue of the appearance of your son's brain muscles.

Collapse the facility, become a death penalty, a runaway tian.

In the midst of the catastrophe of the nasal cry, Sayid had to leave the moon and night himself to intercept Figaro.

Kaguya, who was arguing with Nemesis, also returned to the moon and night, in a state of battle between the two sides.

The two of them face each other as they raise their mind to kill their opponents.

That's the sight that awakened Ray witnessed.

It began on the stage at the home of... Killing each other.

In other words, it is.
