＜Infinite Dendrogram＞

□ [Saint Knight] Ray Sterling

I've been running mock fights with the Rankers for the past month.

Regardless, they were all far more capable than I am and a series of miserable defeats except for about one, but I know who the particularly struggling opponent will be in there...... I know it's actually clear.

With the exception of Mr. Figaro and Mr. Xuan Yu, the hardest person to deal with was Mr. Masked Riser, sixth place.

Yes, he was tougher on me than Juliette, a superior in fourth place, and a senior in sixth place.

His special skill was to transform and significantly enhance himself.

Counters have difficulty taking Enhanced Transformation types that increase their stats for extended periods of time compared to Special Attack type Special Abilities that fire powerful blows.

Even so, in my current status, every single attack after the Enhanced Transformation can be a fatal hit.

Because of that, I am uncomfortable with the Enhanced Transformation type...

◇

"Oruhhh!"

[Princess Fu] waving her arms as she roared in front of her eyes was totally your type.

[Fushihime] 's fighting power, fitted with an exoskeleton, shows with certainty that she is equal to the famous Rankers.

"... hard to do!

In addition, it was homogeneous but not homogeneous.

There is a definitive difference between [Fushihime] and Mr. Riser, even with the same ranker and the same enhancement transformation type.

Now [Fushihime] was obviously...... durable (...).

Me and my predecessors have attacked [Fushihime] many times.

He has been hit several times by poking a gap, but there is no fine dust in the way it was enjoyed.

Instead...... I doubt that the damage is going through even a single point.

"Ha, the rankers were mostly speedy people."

As Nemesis put it, all of them I fought for were good at high-speed combat.

Even with this [Fushihime], I thought you might have dropped by since the first ambush.

"Or..."

Did you switch to durable by using that special skill?

At that time I was using the monster skull to activate my skills.

In addition, a battle that is not an ambush as well...... Battle style now seems different from the battle seen with that crystal.

When that happens, what is likely to be the ability to create battle style exoskeletons that vary depending on the skull used?

If so, it is versatile and powerful.

I can also snort that it's fifth place.

"Ahahahahaha!! What's up, what's up!!"

[Fushihime], wrapped around the exoskeleton, is wielding both arms - his right arm as if it were an iron ball (or should I say a bone ball) and his left arm as if it captured a spear - and launching an attack on his senior.

Its power is high, and the shield erected by the seniors just plunders and shreds.

There are no gaps in both defenses, and [Fushihime] 's attack and defense are awesome now.

"But not fast"

Yes, speed is never fast.

Somewhat slower than me.

Regardless, the previous ambush was faster. It's obviously much slower than that now.

If so, did the reinforcing transformation increase the weight and slow it down... you're half right.

It does get heavier and slower.

But that's not due to transformation.

Its weighting is……,

"... Again, can you still move at this distance? It weighs up to five hundred times (...)."

Senior Beasley's skills.

Now at the foot of [Fushihime] there is a crack, and the foot of the exoskeleton is sinking about ten centimeters into the ground.

Contrary to the skill I used earlier called Anti-Gravity, I guess it's a skill that weighs the opponent down.

But that's how it's weighed, while sinking his legs [Princess Fushi] is running and attacking seniors.

Seniors flush [Fushihime] 's attack, slowed down by weighting, on the curved surface of the shield, avoiding a direct hit... but if properly received, they would crush the shield with an earlier reproduction.

And the skill of seniors is not only that, but they are pulling [Fushihime] away from the carriage one by one.

Louis is hidden in a carriage that had defensive junction functions to keep him out of battle now.

but the offensive power of [Fushihime] now would easily crush every carriage in the junction.

So the seniors are guiding [Fushihime] little by little as they recieve.

…………

Alternatively, I also talked to seniors just before the limit that the < K&R > move might stop if I told them of the presence of Lewis, who is Tian.

< K&R > has rules set by the owner, and there are fears of getting Tian involved in the nomination arrangements, so there's a good chance it will stop.

"It sucks when you didn't," said the senior.

This time, they set us up at the time we reached the middle of the map, the most impossible time to escape.

If those guys had a reason to have to take us down... the seniors said they could take Louis hostage by teaching him to exist.

And now that [Fushihime], who actually has the greatest power, is after us, it reinforces the expectation that he's trying to "defeat us at all costs".

... yes, if those guys want to take us down, they can just do what is in the circumstances where Lewis is and they can seal us up.

Seniors said, "Now that there is no cashmere, it is also unclear how far they will follow the original rules. So you should move assuming the worst," he said.

So now, Lewis' presence remains secret, and we have to fight to make sure that Lewis is not harmed.

It should be noted that I said, "Didn't you already find Louis in Biosearch earlier?" He also asked, "That's a search marked with levels, so Tian's kid wouldn't hang it," he returned.

I guess you haven't noticed because until this time there's no mention of Louis. Or are you pretending not to notice?

"It's still some trained skill, Beasley! But you know there's no point in that, too!

"... ugh."

Seniors and [Fushihime] 's offense continues even more intensely.

[Fushihime] is probably referring to the special skills that seniors have already used.

If you release that attack after limiting the opponent's movement, the formula will be high enough to decide the battle.

The PK I saw on Marie's crystal before should have used a similar combo.

'And besides, Beasley! You're not even switching main jobs, are you licking my battle?

"... because this is my best now"

I'm not wearing a cat without my skin on it!

Thus, the defense of seniors and [Fushihime] … Seniors' defense continues.

In the meantime, [Princess Fushimi] has not given me a single indication of an attack.

He doesn't even give me a glimpse and concentrates on fighting seniors.

"Hmm, you still got too famous"

"... Apparently"

The "Counter Absorption" and "Vengeance Is on Me" combos that have defeated many powerful enemies so far in my hands are already exposed.

That's also because Franklin was relaying last month's fight against [RSK] with audio.

It seemed to flow not only to him, but even to what I said.

So it's already well known that I have the skills to absorb damage and that I can beat back the damage.

If you knew that, you wouldn't attack me or anything.

The only damage that can be done beyond the endurance of the current [Princess Fushimi] is mine and Nemesis's Revenge Is On Me.

If you knew that, you'd ignore me now and target only seniors.

…………

I can't even use Hell's Cheer than having Lewis in the carriage. I also thought about giving Lewis a "soothing all-purpose psychic," but I still can't because I can't even see if my temper is in the wind and the other Master or Tian is damaged.

When that happens, the only hands I can use are Counter Absorption and Revenge is mine.

Then how do you make [Princess Fushi] attack me (...)?

If I were to do it, it would be a way to pinch me between attacks on seniors.

But even if you do that, you shouldn't be noticed until the time when your opponent can't stop the attack.

But even if you're not looking at me right now, if you get close to fighting seniors, you'll definitely be noticed.

I'll look around to see if I have any hands...

'Ray! That's not good......!

The voice of Nemesis prompts me to turn to the battle between Ha and Senior and Wolf Cherry Blossoms.

Seniors were cornered.

That's not a dominant disadvantage, it's a position.

[Fushihime] changed the positional relationship between the two if they got around, - and there was a Lewis carriage in the rear of the senior.

"Haha! I'm on my way, Beasley!!"

[Fushihime], while in supergravity, kicked the earth and braved the assault with sudden momentum.

[Fushihime] rushes with the power and destructive power of the outside world, as if it were a pure dragon of that exoskeleton that would have become the material of that exoskeleton.

"Avoid, heh...!

Seniors could neither evade nor deviate from the ensuing [Fushihime] attack.

I didn't exactly dodge it and didn't deviate.

Because behind the seniors there was a carriage...... there was still a carriage with Lewis on it.

Yes, this is the way to seal us up in Louis' situation.

If Louis is targeted... we have to move to prevent it.

That's the only way to get rid of your opponent's posture.

Now [Fushihime] wouldn't have done it intentionally either.

But that doesn't change the situation.

If you divert the blow of [Fushihime] from the detour, you will strike the carriage straight ahead and threaten the life of Louis inside.

So the seniors didn't deviate and had to take it directly from the front.

"Faithful Defender" Huh...!

The shield shines only for a moment and can be crushed by the attack of [Fushihime].

The shock blows the seniors away and knocks them on the carriage.

There [Princess Fushi] strikes again.

"Ha! I even used the Defense Up skill to dispose of the shield. Ah, isn't it stuffed already!!"

"... shut up, Faithful Defender"

Continuing attacks are also taken by seniors on defenses that use their skills.

But if you're going to lose one shield at a time for that skill, your senior is jilli poor.

Somehow I...!

"If that position..."

I quickly move to make sure [Fushihime] doesn't notice me, guessing that seniors don't have much time to endure.

The senior's shield was shattered five degrees, and little by little during that time, the senior was damaged.

Is it because of that, seniors were just a little late to take out the sixth shield...

Don't miss that gap, [Princess Fushi].

"Todomy! Beasley!! '

[Princess Fushimi] waves both arms as she takes the chase.

The right osseous ball arm is released with the left spear remaining fierce as it finishes seniors.

That serial strike will hit the seniors directly...

- On the brink, I jumped out from under the carriage (...).

!?

At a time when [Fushihime] concentrated on fighting his senior and started attacking him in the direction of hitting the carriage, I was diving under the carriage from the other side of the two.

If it's a carriage with a higher car height for uneven driving, I can dive if I give in. It is also a blind spot that cannot be seen for [Fushihime], who has become megalithic around the exoskeleton and even higher in perspective.

In addition, the car height of the carriage is still higher than the wolf cherry blossoms of today, making it a wall. If I had gotten that close to the carriage, my vision would have been blocked and you wouldn't have noticed me going around the other side.

And at this time, I can slip my body between my senior and [Fushihime].

That means - a great opportunity.

"Counter Absorption:!!"

"Shit...... I'm gonna bust your butt!!"

It was [Princess Fushimi] pulling for a moment against Nemesis's defense, but on the contrary gaining momentum.

With every Counter Absorption deployed, it takes me and my senior year to crush it.

"Zuhhhhhh!!"

A blow to the right bone ball arm hits the wall of light hard and causes it to crack,

"liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiioo!!

The spear-capturing left arm releases a continuous strike.

There are already no walls of light that have been rendered powerless by absorbing a single damage.

The second shot came right in front of me and the seniors without crushing me.

"Counter Absorption:!!"

Right in front of me - I'm held back by the “second" wall that Nemesis deployed.

"Nah!?"

Fast continuous roll-out of Counter Absorptions.

That's the technology that Nemesis was getting to meet with unevolved growth. The moves you wear in battle with the Rankers who specialize in fast combat.

The second wall was powerless the blow that would kill me, creating a gap for me to tap into the counter.

"Vengeance is..."

Counter for two shots.

However, [Fushihime] does not reach the person by exoskeleton, and is not powerful enough to crush the exoskeleton.

Still one thing to aim for... I've already found it.

-It's on me.

The blade touched the tip of the protruding spear arm - [Fushihime] 's main body.

As soon as I finish the declaration, all the damage accumulated in the two Counter Absorptions will be sent back to Embrio.

Immediately afterwards, [Fushihime] 's Embrio was scattered with damage that exceeded his endurance as a weapon.

◇

…………

Me and Nemesis at the counter, [Princess Fushi] 's < Embrio > splashed.

With it, the exoskeleton has also collapsed, I guess, maintained by the power of its.

But that was it.

"Oh, my God, I'm so busy."

"... at all"

[Princess Fushimi] herself survives with five satisfied bodies.

At the moment "Vengeance is on Me" burst, he was taking off his own exoskeleton and escaping.

I am now wary or distance myself from my senior's weighted skills.

That was an escape play to say brilliant, but the situation tilted with this.

I still have one more stock of Counter Absorptions, strictly speaking.

But the seniors have already taken out a spare shield, and that weighting skill is continuing to unfold.

In the present [Fushihime] without an exoskeleton, I guess if I'm imprisoned by that weighting, I won't be able to escape.

"Ha... ha... I'll do it, then,“ indomitable ""

[Princess Fu], who lost < Embrio >, still looks at this one with a fierce grin.

According to the first Chesha description, < Embrio > is not lost forever even if it is crushed and scattered.

But regeneration should take time.

"Hehe, I already used my first shot and it's gone... not yet... the battle is coming up!!"

Even though it is, fine dust has not lost its will to fight either.

... Similar to the duel ranker face in such a place.

But any more fighting is honestly tough on this one.

In a moment, other K&R members may intervene due to unfavourable circumstances.

If that happens, we're exhausted. We're in danger, and the likelihood of Lewis getting involved increases. Even earlier it would have been dangerous if the seniors hadn't sheltered.

... Wait.

If [Fushihime] can't get his hands on Lewis right away, can you handle it if I tell him?

When I send my gaze to the seniors, the seniors respond small and overwhelming.

"[Princess Fu]!!"

When I call out to my voice, [Princess Fu] answers yelling.

"Wolf cherry blossoms or“ bone eaters ”when you call me“ indomitable ”boy! I don't like being called [princess]!

"Oh, yeah! Then wolf cherry blossoms, we're on our way to take Tian's child to the village of Torne! But < K&R > shouldn't harm Tian, but what happens to him!

If the werewolf cherry blossom tries to take Louis hostage, and I ask, the werewolf cherry blossom laughs with his nose and answers.

"Rest assured! If I make you a death penalty, I'll deliver you exactly!

... I see, that's a conscientious answer.

Apparently, they're not going to discuss this one while harming Louis, who is Tian.

But the werewolf cherry blossom reply was also an affirmation that "I'm not willing to leave yet even with Tian".

After all, should we somehow take down the Wolf Cherry Blossoms here in a fast-track fashion and get out of this map with that momentum?

"Come on, my first shot and my next one are my losses, but I'm not giving up my battle stuffing! That's a big reversal from here!

A replacement weapon was removed from the item box - the wearable nails and fangs.

This one also has a nemesis and seniors are ready to activate new skills with replacement shields.

The next attack will settle.

The moment I thought so.

"- That's it, you two to Wolf Cherry Blossom. I want all three of you to stop."

Between us and the Wolf Cherry Blossom, there was a strange person cracked in.

The person appeared as if it were an instantaneous movement.

But it looked like instant travel, probably due to simple speeds.

Experience tells me that if I hadn't disarmed my skills to hide myself like Marie's "The Art of Concealment" or my brother's [Kimunkamui], I hadn't even shown up using some kind of metastasis like Xun Yu.

But that's... if there's no madness in my eyes...

- This guy is faster than Mr. Figaro or Mr. Xun Yu.

"I hope you don't move. Just a few more steps, and I'm in time."

The person's first impression was… in a nutshell, "mockingbird".

The person wears a coat of texture that stays wool rather than wool......

"When you're in time - whoever it is, your neck will fall off"

The following impression...... the knife.

He hangs a large knife that doesn't suit his small physique with a chain hook that mimics the skull of a rabbit.

Spookily, every ring of the chain mimics the head of the "bamboo", and inside the orbit of the skull of the "bamboo” there is a bright red light.

"So is Mr. Wolf Cherry Blossom. If it moves, you can't. Hunting is over, please lower your weapon."

And finally, I realize. that the person of small stature is… a true child (...).

That child, who looks younger than Xun Yu, continues to issue warnings to the three of us, including wolf cherry blossoms, in the Boy Soprano, which is endemic to his boyhood.

"Right, darling! Can I log in?!?"

…………………………… - Rin?

Now it's like a musculoskeletal, long-length werewolf cherry blossom has been unleashed words that are too unsuitable for low height children......

But my question... blew up with the next word the seniors let go.

"Are you out?“ Headstand "… [Battousai (Dj Ansheath)] Cashmere"
