＜Infinite Dendrogram＞

□ [Brilliant Cavalry] Ray Sterling

Standing in front of me and behind me, two [Geeganites].

Tiger at the front gate, wolf at the rear gate.

No, in this case, both demons, huh?

"Ray......!

Warning voices similar to the screams of Nemesis.

With that in my ear, I desperately think of a way to cope with two legendary demons attacking from front to back.

There was an earlier route, but now it's blocked.

Even the hell with it, the demon who was finally getting a hand wound.

If they are two, the possibility of diving through the devil and defeating [the demon general] is like too fine a thread.

"...... Still!!"

Still, move on.

If you give up here in despair, there's no chance there.

No matter how narrow the gate the visible viaduct is, there is no more obstacle to blocking the viaduct than stopping the foot.

So I call on my five bodies to move without hesitation.

Move your legs.

Even if there's an impending blade of subsonic speed trying to pinch me from front to back, I won't give up.

- It's always possible, with your will.

- Whether it's on the other side of a decimal line with a few zeros, which is very slight.

"There is always a possibility!!"

I once heard from my brother, with words rooted in my heart, step forward.

At the moment when the blades of me trying to move forward and two demons trying to turn me down overlap,

- I love that word, too, huh?

I heard such a “voice” along with the shock sound of something clashing.

□ ■ A discussion

In Infinite Dendrogram, the strength of a monster is often a measure of combat power.

The most commonly used subdragon class is the equivalent of a junior position one party.

It would then be a pure dragon class equivalent to a senior position one party.

Most of all, it is a conversion in Tian, so it is not uncommon to defeat the subdragon class by one junior position and the pure dragon class by one senior position.

Even for Ray, he is destroying [Subdragon Beetle] at level 0 instead of junior position.

Conversely, there are measures that are only used for the presence of very limited areas.

Anecdotal, Epic, Ancient Epic, Mythical, Super.

They are all ranked < UBM >, and each < UBM > rank can be seen from the reward weaponry you get when you defeat them.

< UBM > has emerged many times in the history of < Infinite Dendrogram > and has been defeated at great cost.

For what it's worth, Tian built a technique to measure the ranks of < UBM > before the crusade. (If you are also proficient, it is possible to gauge how much by rule of thumb)

There are jobs that were most strongly influenced by that.

The name of that job is [Demon General].

Once, when the < UBM > measure of strength was revealed, the then [Demon General] looked at his job skills and realized it.

Job skills are changing, he said.

Until then, the text that said "summon a mighty demon" had been rewritten to "summon an epic demon".

As if the job skills themselves had embraced the change in common sense in the world.

[Demon General] 's skills were not "mighty demons" or "extremely mighty demons," they became skills to invoke "legendary" or "mythical" demons.

That is a name only change, but it is indeed a change that has taken place.

However, let's ask one question about this change.

That's not "why the change happened"......

"Is the demon to be called truly equivalent to the Epic class of < UBM >",.

At the time of the change [Demon General] never called the Epic Demon of his life, but in later years... Logan, who became [Demon General] after the service of < Infinite Dendrogram > began, has repeatedly called.

And he says. "This is a truly epic class," he said.

In fact, he defeated [Evil Stone Dragon Voltgaizar], an anecdotal < UBM > in the legendary demon [Geeganite], and has obtained the great sword he still uses, [Evil Dragon Treasure Sword Voltgaizar].

From this, Logan affirmed that the Epic Demon has comparable performance to the Epic < UBM >.

Most of all, one had a different opinion.

"Defeating the anecdote class doesn't prove that what you defeat is more epic than the anecdote class, does it? It could also be anecdotal."

"Huh? [Geeganite] 's status is really as good as that of an epic? Ha-ha-ha, that might be true. What matters is the status, isn't it?

"The anecdote class defeated by [Geeganite] in the first place is unknown because it was built into < UBM >. There goes the pinkie of what stops and what goes up to higher heights. The anecdote class isn't actually suitable for the measure of strength because of the individual differences. In fact, I think it's because His Excellency the General (laughs) [Geeganite] is legendary and the anecdote class can't be used as a measure? It really leaves me wondering if it's equivalent to the legendary UBM."

"Yeah, it looks like the roughly < UBM > is stepping up from the anecdote class. Something from the old days that came out of it may be certified to a higher rank just after it came out."

"Sometimes." That? Kind of not strong? Some anecdote classes become performance weapons, right? I guess that was really supposed to be a stronger, higher rank. "

"What makes you stronger in the future is evident even when you die and become a perk. I've defeated quite a few too, but it's kinda fun to look at the perks and think" what was supposed to happen ""

"..." what was supposed to happen, "

"Speaking of which, there were a number of interesting things about his gear data obtained at Gideon"

"The boot of an MP tank that was supposed to be the original but not on the list of brilliant jade horses and had the opportunity to defeat [RSK]"

"And... Hands"

"I hear that was a privilege for the legendary UBM."

"- I don't know what was supposed to happen (...)"

□ [Brilliant Cavalry] Ray Sterling

The source of the shock sound was the great sword wielded by two demons.

The blade that tried to pinch me from the front and back was being taken by something just before it touched my body.

Something about it is - [Chuckles Armor Gardranda].

He held the blade in front with his right hand and grabbed the blade behind him with his left hand to stop it.

Soon... Alone out of my arms.

"Hey, is this...!?"

Nemesis gives a startling voice, but I knew it.

There is only one willingness to do what is happening in front of us right now.

This phenomenon tells us that 'now is the time' - that she (...) is the will itself.

"... Oh! Then I'll leave it to you!

Then I'll do the same.

You left me alive for her.

Whether there is a death penalty or more risk, I accept it...!!

Accept... Defeat [Demon General]!!

"Give it to me!! Give it to me!!"

As well as being able to roar, convert all the resentment accumulated in [Purple Grievance Runaway A] into MP.

That [monochrome] incident and the accumulation now in this carcellatan - it turns into a huge MP of over 400,000 approaching that Franklin case.

Pours all of the magic thus generated into the [armor].

"Skill activation time setting… 400 seconds (...)!"

feed on huge MPs,

[Xu Zhenjian] into a medium,

- The summons (...) skills are realized.

"Come..." "Princess (Gardranda)" ah!! "

Immediately after proclaiming the third skill of ["Armor"], an explosive change occurs in ["Armor"].

The red and black flames and the black and purple temper wind the vortex, which eventually converges on the ["armor"] to its starting point.

A red copper arm extends from the armor, and in turn the torso, both legs, form a face.

On that forehead, two horns.

That's just the way I saw it in that dream - but the look of a ghost wielding enormous killing and fighting.

"Ko, what about this one...?

Answer the sudden appearance of a nemesis that cannot hide its surprise.

"[Gardranda] That's it."

"Become!?"

Yes, she is the [Gardranda].

The mother I once defeated... is not incomplete.

The true figure that was supposed to manifest itself even in that battle - [Princess Gardranda].

Now that you've been crusaded by me, it shouldn't have happened anymore.

It was the third skill of [Xuan Armor Gardranda] that made it possible.

"Princess (Gardranda)" - that's nothing more than a skill to summon [Gardranda] in complete condition in exchange for a huge MP and certain disadvantages (...).

"What the...! [Saint Knight] said you were a Summoning Skill!?"

I hear the wolf voice of [General Demon].

I guess the move up to the summons was so unexpected.

But perhaps the real unexpected - is coming.

"- Out of the way, I guess?

Before [Geeganite], the legendary demon, she leans her little neck, - kicking [Geeganite] 's armor forward with her thin feet as it were.

Shortly after, [Geeganite] blew up nearly ten meters to the rear.

"WOWOWOWOWO!?"

The armor didn't crush, but it was heavily distorted.

Then, [Gardranda] jumps into the nostalgia of the rear [Geeganite] at an unnoticed speed - supersonic manoeuvre, holding both of its legs in.

From that dwarf, like a joke, I held up [Geeganite] - and threw it into the universe.

――――!?

No matter how subsonic the devil moves, [Geeganite] has no wings.

Towards the immobile [Geeganite] in the air, [Gardranda] turns his left hand - to the left [● armor].

The ghost mouth on the back of his hand opens and emits a brilliant red glow that he has never seen before.

"-" Zero/Purgatory Fire ""

With that proclamation, a flame is emitted from [the armor of the hand].

But that's a completely different power than the flames I used earlier.

It's the same as [Gardranda the Great Ghost] once used...... no, it goes far beyond that too.

The depths of the [Corpse Immortal] that Xunyu showed, like "True Fire True Light Blast Dragon Hegemony" - the flame of the Red Lotus rising to heaven.

"WOWOWOOOOOOOOOO!?"

[Geeganite] didn't have any help to avoid that flame.

The flame captures [Geeganite] at its center, and when hit, together all of its firepower converges into [Geeganite].

Shortly after--

"Dirty, fireworks?

Leaning his little neck, he let it go. Keep that word - it blew up.

[Geeganite], which burns out as it blows to the wood end dust, turns into light dust.

I shredded the HP, said to be 300,000 overs, with that blow and destroyed it.

... That [Geeganite] was the one with the whole eye, and had also suffered 50,000 damage from Revenge, but the power is ridiculous nonetheless.

"I burned it... right. I can't use it for a while, can I?

[Gardranda] has a troubled face, with a skank and a smoking left-handed [armor].

In contrast, [General Demon] has the look of being incredible.

Additionally, similar emotional movements are transmitted from the nemesis in hand.

That's what happens if an epic demon is knocked down in one blow by a girl who suddenly shows up.

Irrationally and naturally, wonderfully.

But I don't think I'm unreasonable, and I'm not surprised.

Because...... she is also an Epic (...).

[Gardranda] turned it into an epic ghost, because it is.

"I don't know what else to do, you do it with your bare fists, right?

With that said, I take it as if I were a martial artist.

And she declares.

"With 320 seconds left - we can clean it up, right?

With his fingers ringing - the Epic Ghost ([Gardranda]) declared the devil hunt.
