＜Infinite Dendrogram＞

□ [Saint Knight] Ray Sterling

After receiving the [VDA] from the senior, the store owner brought four items boxes with anti-theft measures.

There were also bags, purses, or rings, but they were made into small side pouches due to ease of removal and combinations with other equipment. It doesn't even look like the deck case worn by the character of the card game animation.

Incidentally, there is a disadvantage in counteracting the skills of stealing items inside, such as "burglary", and in being strong enough to destroy, but with fewer types of items that can be put in place.

They have the same capacity as the item boxes I have used so far, but there are up to ten items I can put in.

It's strange, but it seems that we need to have fewer types of contents to incorporate measures to combat "burglary".

So let's continue to use the traditional item boxes and decide to treat only silver and other valuable items that would be in trouble if stolen.

By the way, the price was 10 million lil.

... expensive, but I can't help but think "I've had a lot going on in the past month" around being able to buy it.

It should be noted that there were no Nemesis clothes just fine, so I decided to buy the day again.

Shopping time is over in that way, dropping off the logout of a senior who needs to go home to his parents, and then I'm off to my destination.

I also thought about going after taking [Holy Knight's] job quests, such as the crusade of the monsters in question for the cost of going, but not a single job quest related to the < ruins > of the Karcheratan territory was posted.

I had no choice, so I left my job quest for you this time and headed to Karcheratan territory.

◇

In the cheerfulness of Pokapoka, he rides silver with Nemesis on the road that leads to Karcheratan territory.

Though not at full speed, it's nearly twice as fast as when you're pulling a carriage. By this minute you will arrive in Calcheratan, the central city of Calcheratan territory, which is your destination by evening.

Silver is clever, so long as he holds the reins, he'll take the auto to his destination, and he'll avoid obstacles and other passers-by. There is no problem with slow progression.

... This is how you double-check it, it's still high performance.

Until now I have not even questioned it particularly, but after listening to my senior, I am also concerned about Silver a lot.

Whatever it is, the ruins you're about to head to are the ruins that get jobs related to Brilliant Ball Beast. If so, the formula for obtaining some information about the brilliant jade beast itself is high.

I'm looking forward to seeing you around.

"That's right, Ray. The corner silver is running for me on the auto, so why don't you check that one out while you still can?

"Is that it?"

"Shining Dispair charges (...)"

Oh, that.

"Aye."

I manipulate the menu with one hand and call the gear detail screen.

[Black Wrap Set] equipment skills, "Shining Dispair" is selected to display….

Shining Dispair:

It unleashes the light accumulated by "Light Absorption" and melts everything by the photothermal heat of despair.

Active skills.

Charge Amount: 3%

I read the Shining Dispair display and sighed.

"... that's only a 1% increase compared to four hours ago"

This Shining Dispair is nothing short of the biggest hotline used by that [monochrome].

I know that power with my own hands. Even through the two Counter Absorptions, it is important to note that they have died in the aftermath.

If it could be used, it would definitely be comforting.

But here is the problem of "charge amount”.

This is an indication of how much light you have accumulated to use Shining Dispair.

And it still stops at 3% even if it stays in the sunlight since it was earned yesterday.

"... don't take a month to shoot the first shot with simple calculations"

It would take more if you also thought about logging out at college.

I can't even take a little test shot with this.

"I wish I could shoot you on a half-charge. Max, you can't fire a charge. It's an unrelenting skill."

... When you can only shoot with Max, you're also scared when you shoot.

I know it's scaled down more than when [Monochrome] shot at the boulder... but it's the destructive power that originally threatened to wipe out the village of Torne. It's horrible to think about how much power you'll still show after you've equipped your skills.

"But what should I do with the charge? It's too inefficient just to keep it on the day."

Considering the "Light Absorption" skill, it is originally aimed at absorbing and accumulating light attribute attacks.

But it's not just the opponent who conveniently shoots light attribute attacks early.

"How about Figaro's Extreme Dragonlight Tooth Slash and Ultimate? That's going to complete the charge in one go. If it's just the beam, we won't get slaughtered... and then we can do something about the extra heat?

"... I'll stop"

One wrong step can only result in suicide.

Besides, Mr. Figaro should be in the solo attack of the Tomb Labyrinth by now.

"No... It doesn't have to be a light attribute. If we keep shining a strong light, we can't do anything about it."

"Strong light....... ah"

I only have one.

I use "Sacred Another Silver Light" for [Black Wrap].

Originally, it should emit silver light when used in weapons, but by the effect of "light absorption" or [black entanglement] remains black.

This means that you are safely absorbing the light of "Silver Light". "Silver Light" is a sacred attribute grant, so I thought it might be outside the scope of "Light Absorption," but it seems that the light generated is within the scope of absorption as well as sucking sunlight.

This should double charge the light with sunlight and "silver light" and, to some extent, also charge faster.

"That's a good idea for me."

"No."

That's how I was in a mood of exasperation, running silver as I continued to use my skills.

◇

And an hour later.

"Shivering......"

I was tired and leaning down, rocking on my silver back.

"It's kind of like a summer bat."

"Could be close..."

I wear a [black wrap] to the hood combined with sunset and sun absorption, so it may look extra hot and dazzling.

"It's hard to see the dark area around my face when I put on the hood because [Black Wrap] breathes light."

"Really?

You don't know.

From what I can tell, wearing a hood doesn't inhibit my vision.

"Mm-hmm. It feels like the top half of my face is hidden in the dark. Imagine a Necromancer monster, and I'm scared even if I know he's your lord."

"Do they treat you as“ undead ”with one hood..."

"No, I don't think it's because of one hood (...)...?

"Really?

Well, aside from what I look like.

The problem now is the cause of symptoms similar to this summer bat.

It is a charge of light using "Another Silver Light of Holiness".

With the continuous use of "Silver Light", the charge of [Black Wrap] is much better, and it is now 6%.

Instead, MP consumption is intense.

My previous MP is already depleted.

... MP would have accumulated some of yesterday's [monochrome] incident in [purple grudge stray A], but this one has to be used for "wind hooves" in some cases, so it is being kept warm.

Because of this, I drink the [potion] of MP recovery and continue to use "Silver Light", but a strange tiredness similar to summer bat appeared.

I hope I'm just on silver now, but this method could be a burden considering the fight...... let's not.

But when it comes to other efficient charges......

"... oh well. Should I buy the [Gem] of Light Attack Magic and hit the [Black Wrap]?"

Money consumption may be huge, but if you pay attention to the way it is guessed, you won't get any damage, or maybe it's a good idea.

I should have noticed before I left Wang Du.

In Karchelatan, buy in [Gem] before you go to < Ruins > or............?

"... what?

Unexpectedly, I felt something disgusting.

I don't have Killer Sensing skills like a senior, so this is just a reminder.

But still, I feel signs that something disturbing is nearby.

"Nemesis"

"Response"

Nemesis quickly turns into a great sword and fits into my right hand.

"... over there!

Next to the path I had pioneered, there was a noise hidden from the woods, which were densely made of broad leaves.

Plus, someone's screaming.

"Huh."

I guess I can't run silver decently from the width between the trees in the woods, then I put it back in the item box and run it on my own feet.

So after a dozen seconds of running at full speed, I found it.

"Ah, ah..."

It's a girl sitting around frightened and

"Threat-e. High aptitude. To be secured '

It was a mechanical mannequin approaching her.

Apparently the human form was a monster, and there was an indication of his name over his head.

- [Tealwolf], and.

"Where!?"

It is certainly a habitat because it is north of the king's capital.

But that in front of you seems to be a firearms-like barrel that wraps metal armor rather than fur, does bipedal walking rather than quadrupedal walking, and further integrates with arms rather than nail fangs.

I don't see anything in common with [Tealwolf] that I fought before.

It looks much closer.

"- Threat determination"

Did the mechanical [Teal Wolf] (tentatively) notice us, turn the helmet-covered head here?

What I hear is too blatant mechanical audio, but if you look closely, animal hair sticks out of the gap between the helmet and the parts of the machine.

So is that still [Tealwolf] as shown?

"Threat - B +. Recovery Dehanak Destruction Priority"

The mechanism of [Tealwolf] 's (tentative) arm - the cylinder that seems to be a firearm - begins to spin so as not to interfere with my observation.

I remember the sight of Dejav and the chills, and I fly to the side aggressively.

Immediately afterwards, countless bullets were fired through the space where we were, hiving the trees that were at the end of the ballistics.

"Gatling cannon... you've never seen a guy use it other than my brother"

That's Hugo's. The firearm was single-shot, but this guy's a totally gatoring gun.

Though not as barrage as my brother's Bardle...... turning to the enemy is an inexplicable substitute.

"- Pursuit"

The mechanical monster points all kinds of firearms at me as I gasp the mechanism of my whole body.

I keep moving out of the ray and I manage to dodge it.

It's linear, and it's not a bullet with that much range of attack.

It's not like you're tracking me, it's highly penetrating in vain, it's not like you're going to blow up your surroundings, it's not like you're going to be a character in a comic book and attack me.

... a very gentle shooting compared to a mock fight with my brother or Marie.

"Soon. This smell... gunpowder, huh?

I noticed they were shooting, but apparently they're blowing up some kind of drug, not magic, and flying bullets.

Then can it be that one?

The girl was just a little distant because of the attack on me.

"[Gardranda]"

I first came back to life yesterday in a month with a left hand - a left [armored gardranda] with a flamethrowing mechanism.

"- Purgatory Fire."

Activate your flamethrowing skills, which were the main wepon of the game against monsters, and wrap [Tealwolf] (tentative) whole body in flames.

Immediately thereafter, a dramatic change occurs in [Tealwolf] (tentative).

Broiled by Purgatory Fire, [Tealwolf] (tentatively) the chemicals used for firearms were heated by flames… swelled up from the inside of the armor and detonated.

◇

"Fire is strictly forbidden,"

I was relieved that the prospect had gone well as I glanced at the machine burning with the skank and the black smoke up.

Even when dealing with firearms, it was possible that they had a good fire-resistance capability, like the Bundle.

Well, as much as I can see fur from the gap, I didn't think so.

"But this, what is it?

Exploded from the inside, [Tealwolf] (tentatively) is blackened and falling on his back.

As I approached him, I saw the contents of the machine because it was exploding from the inside.

Although the machine has space inside, there is nothing in there. And so was the Lord of fur, who was visible from the gap.

I saw light dust right after the explosion, so does that mean I knocked it down?

However, the machine itself remains intact, albeit burnt and distorted.

It's not even an atmosphere of drop items, it really stays broken (...).

I held it in my hand and read the menu description and it only appears as' Mysterious Machine Wreckage '.

However, they are not monsters now that they are wrecked because descriptions have been displayed as items and there is no overhead name display.

"I wonder what it is, this?

Machines and monsters, when it comes to droves and… Franklin is associated.

But I don't think he did it all this time either.

Because that fucking white coat would... put a more mean trick on the monster.

That's what you should do if you try to burn it, enough to detonate it and sprinkle a huge explosion, or poison gas.

"Well, now I can't help thinking"

There's no end to the doubt, but let's leave it in the item box first.

... From what I've done with the item box, isn't it a monster?

"Well."

Speaking of the girl who was attacked by [Tealwolf] (tentatively), she has passed out either because of the shock caused by the explosion sound.

But the feeling I saw doesn't seem to be a single scratch, so I feel safe.

Now, even though that odd [Tealwolf] (tentative) knocked him down, we can't even leave a girl out in the woods who's lost her mind.

In the meantime, I'm gonna walk over to the girl.

- In a moment, a pale sword flash rushed to block that movement.

"Huh!"

The sword flash flashes to block me and the fallen girl - it moves to snap my neck.

I put my left [armor] between my neck and the blade to prevent the blade.

It was an aggressive reaction, but it was dangerous.

Fortunately, it has stopped just slightly eating the blade into the surface of the armor.

But if you take one wrong step, your left hand is again... or you were just missing your neck.

"What, you?

While who does what, grasp the orbit and threat of a blow right now.

A blow clearly aimed at a fatal injury from the first shot.

My heart pulses hard with agitation at that attack that associates the werewolf cherry blossoms I encountered the other day.

Look at the face of the opponent who attacked me with wonder as to why the hell I was attacked - I was taken aback.

That's due to the appearance of the person who attacked me.

The opponent erects a pale sword that feels strange pressure,

dressed in noble clothing where partial reinforcement by metal was carried out,

She was a long blue-haired swordsman who hid the top half of her face with a mask (...).

I speak the first word I associate with someone dressed like that.

"" Suspicious (...)...! "

... the word was worn, for some reason, word for word, unlike the other person.
