＜Infinite Dendrogram＞

□ [Brilliant Cavalry] Ray Sterling

"East! Challenger, number three in the duel rankings...... [Battousai] Cashmere!!"

Smoke is burned at the east entrance at the same time as the announcer's voice.

The entrance to the stage of the Central Grand Arena is west and east, but mainly east will be the entrance to the challengers. Once when Mr. Figaro and Mr. Xunyu fought, Xunyu had also entered from the east, but Cashmere had also entered from the east.

Cashmere, who enters, carries a large knife delivered to the blue sheath on the left side of her waist and a large knife delivered to the green sheath about the same length on the right side.

They say the red sheath machete can't be used in a duel in the junction, so the green sheath will take its place.

"West! Defender, number two in the duel rankings...... [Cat God] Tom! Cat wow!! '

Tom enters from the west side.

A figure with a fat cat grimalkin on his head, no different than when he met him at the Calcheratan. Naturally, but not separated on admission.

That's how they get on stage, set up the dueling rules, and then leave on both sides.

All you have to do is wait for the decree to start the game.

Cashmere has already floated the chains and taken the posture of a knife extraction technique.

"If Theory Street, Cashmere moves right after the game starts"

"Huh?"

Seniors said that when the game was about to start.

"I don't know much more about Tom Cat either... but I've still heard this story before." Shortly after the game starts, it's our only chance to defeat Tom Cat, "he said."

"... right"

Tom's proliferative stature is due to his special skill, Cat Eight Colors, which he didn't activate until the game started.

And it activates right after the game begins... polarization If you discuss Tom sooner than that, you don't have to deal with a proliferative split.

If you think about it, it's natural... but still not a single one has defeated it that way.

I guess Tom can handle it until he activates his skills.

That is why you should be so skilled in survival measures against the first blow that you can't defeat it with Cashmere's sword speed.

Or is the art of breaking through it the skill of defeating Tom, whom Cashmere was talking about?

While thinking about such things - the time has come.

"Match, Start I!!"

At the same time as the announcer announces the start of the game.

Tom threw the overhead grimalkin over the sky,

…………

The opposing cashmere - did not move.

"... why?

In the time before the division, which is even said to be the only opportunity, do nothing.

I'm just waiting for Tom to split up.

"- I don't have to dance," Cat Eight Colours (Grimalkin) "

Tom, who was wary of Cashmere's movements shortly after the opening, looked doubtful that there was no movement at all.

But soon, he activated his special skill and threw it - the Grimalkin that was causing him to retreat over the sky turns into Mr. Tom, and each other grows to a total of eight.

From here on out, we have to beat all of Mr. Tom at speeds above the growth rate.

But even after Tom finishes his separation, Cashmere still doesn't move.

…………

Did Tom also find the move suspicious, causing one of the eight to head to Cashmere like a scourge?

With supersonic manoeuvres that are still dazzling within the decelerating state of the junction, one of Tom's approached Cashmere,

- My neck fell off and disappeared.

It didn't even show up in my eyes when I said it was in the deceleration state junction.

"... what, that"

The deceleration did not yet reveal a moment of knife pulling, and the knife in the sheath had already been pulled out, like a comma feed.

At the same time, Tom's neck, which was in hypersonic manoeuvre, is falling.

Though Tom soon grew to become the original eight, even if he lost one, that meant that the battle would have been decided in the moment if it wasn't for Tom, who would use the proliferative division in the dark.

Though his stature stands out, Mr. Tom is never weak by himself.

He is a super skilled fighter and would stand shoulder to shoulder with other rankers, even if he had no separation.

Still, if it falls into Cashmere's hands, he will be slashed in an instant.

I was chilled by the sight.

"Was that Cashmere scraping Tom's HP in one blow?

"No, nemesis. Maybe... he died of an abnormal wound system."

[Cervical amputation] It's no surprise that there are state abnormalities such as [Left arm fracture] and [Right foot fracture] that I first received in Dendro.

The effect as a condition abnormality is… as you can see, immediate death?

"Drop your defenseless neck at that sword speed, huh? But doesn't END itself work against unusually high opponents or armor-covered opponents?

Seniors answer such nemesis questions.

"Eastern swordsmanship related passive skills include" Sword Speed Thorough ". When the opponent is unable to defend against his attacks, he subtracts the opponent's END by multiplying the skill level by 10% of his AGI."

Assuming AGI 1000 subtracts the target's END by 100 if the skill level is 1, and if the skill level is 10, subtracts by 1000?

"Cashmere's skill level would be ten of the maximum. But before that, the cashmere pulls out too fast. It's like there's no END for vegetables."

"... and by the way, what's the number below zero?

"It's salvation that won't happen."

It's hard to imagine END being negative, but that doesn't happen with Cashmere slaughter.

"Does END subtract mean the defense of the equipment will remain?

"Yes, but with that said, Cashmere also has the offensive power of a weapon. Cashmere slaughter with razor-extraction related active skills, equipment defenses alone will be difficult to withstand. … If I didn't use Astroguard, even my [Magnum Colossus] would be slashed"

In response to Luke's question, the senior stroked his neck to remember something.

And while we were being briefed, the game was going on.

Cashmere, who dropped Tom's neck, returns the loose knife to her sheath, once again immovable as she waits for something.

What the hell are you waiting for?

"Sick!

Tom moved first against the immobile cashmere.

The eight Toms all change their arms to medium-range weapons such as bows and arrows and throwing knives.

It then spreads as it is hypersonic manoeuvring and moves around to encircle the cashmere in faraway windings.

In contrast to Cashmere, who remains immovable and silent, the ringing footsteps of eight Tom echo the stage.

"Shoot!

That's how Tom is alerting himself to the knife extraction technique, while repeatedly attacking him to restrain him in a long-range attack.

Cashmere is dodging away with a slight deviation.

But did you calculate from that evasive move, Tom showers a concentrated attack at an angle and number that Cashmere would not be able to evade?

visions of countless arrows and knife-targeted cashmere,

"Kourtmov"

A magic formation - something of a writing that reminds me of a pigeon - floats at the foot of Cashmere only for a moment.

Shortly thereafter, Cashmere had appeared more than a dozen meters away - at the present of one of Mr. Tom's.

Tom's neck fell just after that.

"What's that... instant travel?

Even before, when I first encountered Cashmere, Cashmere had suddenly appeared, as it is now.

Probably used the same skills then.

But as far as I can tell, the only ability I have is special skills, but the skill name obviously wasn't from special skills.

When I have such doubts,

"Walking without a Walk." Cashmere's Enbrio, Inaba's Active Skills. "

My senior started explaining it to me.

"... Beasley's commentary really helps because Marie is useless in Kumanisan's absence."

Right. After all, there are a lot of commentators around me.

"The magic team with the twilight pattern that appeared only momentarily at your feet is a moving floor, so to speak."

It didn't look very good to me when I was told that it looked like a bamboo.

"Momentary travel, isn't it?

"Yeah. It's not that convenient. Rather, it is a very modest performance as an inherent skill of Embrio"

"Modest?"

"That's just a skill of 'traveling without walking at the same speed as my AGI'. Strongly speaking, is it advantageous that there is no air resistance or inertia while you are on top of the" Walking Away "formation, and that you can move around with the knife extraction technique in place? If cashmere doesn't use it, it's a mediocre skill."

Skills that just don't need to move your legs and your speed won't change, huh?

Then it does seem mediocre as a skill.

Most of all...

"What is mediocre is the story of Cashmere if he is not the [Battousai],"

"Yes."

With [Battousai] 's "Shinto Battousai", the AGI of Cashmere reaches 500,000, although limited during the Battousai motion.

In other words, if you are in the knife extraction motion at the same time as the activation of "Walking Axis", the standard AGI is 500,000.

At the same time as the duel begins, it is easy to flesh and snap the opponent's neck.

"... on the contrary, has Tom ever outdone his beginner?"

Convinced at the same time. Is that why Tom won't attack you at once?

Usually, if Tom makes use of his regenerative abilities and numbers, it's a stone to evacuate one or two people in the safe zone and keep attacking the abandonment with everyone else.

But that's worse than being able to travel like that.

Worst of all, the approaching members were cut and killed with a single blade pull, and the rest could also be killed after being packed with a distance by the phrase "walkless."

There are two cashmere machetes and four arms with biological arms and auxiliary arms. You should be able to pull a knife in a row up to two times.

Because I know that, I guess Tom is fighting while scattering without solidifying.

Since the cashmere is only fast during the knife extraction motion, the ultrasonic travel of "Xuanxiao" does not last long either.

If there is only one person in a single blade draw range, Cashmere will never be able to defeat Tom.

"If it wasn't for Tom, it would be over..."

Cashmere has little power compared to what I know.

Rather, it seems easy to scratch an army of demons and take its neck around [Demon General].

I see the dueling rankers, starting with Juliette, are running out of words, "Cashmere is second in strength".

Without the “lid” of compatibility with second place Tom, I wouldn't know if the first place in the kingdom today was either Mr. Figaro or Cashmere.

"... and that cashmere talent matches too much"

Nemesis is right. It is called the auxiliary arm of the chain, it is called the "Walkthrough of the Sagittarius", and Inaba of Cashmere specializes in all of it in the art of extraction.

Precisely...... specializing in using a knife extraction technique with cashmere short torso.

Both the length of the arm for the knife extraction and the interval between the knife extraction in the young body are completely blocking the hole because of that.

The performance of is not unrelated to the personal of the.

So is there any reason why that cashmere pours its whole spirit into the knife extraction technique that far?

"... Thousand Hitachi, right"

Luke, who was observing the game, muttered so bossly.

Indeed, the situation is completely glued.

Tom can't break the combination of Cashmere's knife extraction technique and Walkthrough.

But Cashmere can't defeat Tom's identity either.

We lack the decision-makers for each other.

"Previous duels have often been won by Tom Cat, with Cashmere's SP running out of skills"

"Protracted war, huh?"

Though Tom's Cat Eight Colors is so broken, he seems to be cost-effective. Tom's lack of use of an active skill class other than Cat Eight was also a reason for the difference in endurance between the two.

So is it the same this time?

Cashmere, unable to crumble Tom's castle, ………………………………?

"Mr. Ray?

"Ray, what's going on? He's got a blue face, huh?

Seniors and Nemesis call out worryingly.

So much so that I would have stretched my face right now.

But to be honest... I don't even know why.

I was watching Cashmere, and for some reason - I remembered the unspeakable cold.

But that doesn't look like it to seniors and nemesis who were watching the game the same way.

And Luke...... no.

…………

Luke was just like me.

"I don't know who or why that shock was even though I was struck by something strong," he looks like that.

"What the hell... is that?

So I realize it's weird.

Too, the arena is quiet.

No one or he, in the way that he can't understand... is looking on stage.

Above the stage, Cashmere slowly delivers the machete in her left hand to the yellow sheath.

I can't hear Tom's footsteps surrounding Cashmere.

Instead - there were eight neckless bodies on the stage.

By the side...... my head is rolling too.

"-" Our Demon Sword/Lord Yakusa Ikatsuki "

Cashmere shrugged like a word and eight bodies...... the eight Toms became dust of light.

Shortly after, the stage junction disappears.

There's only one thing that that means.

Cashmere defeated Tom... only that one thing.

"... Keh, settle!! The winner of the duel is [Battousai] Cashmere!! Cashmere is promoted to second place!! '

The announcer, who confirmed the appearance on stage late, hastily announces the settlement and begins to blur, as the audience also understood.

That is neither a tribute to the winner nor a tribute to the duel itself.

That's even confusing. "When did the duel end? 'The same thought I have.

That's how the moment of settlement in anyone's eyes, even the signs remain invisible... Tom's duel with Cashmere is over.

Leave only the result that Cashmere came second and gained the right to challenge Mr. Figaro.

◇

…………

Different.

There was another result left over.

"Mm-hmm? Ray, I'm flattered, but what's wrong? What's that voucher you have in your hand?

"... tickets to the duel now"

"Again. So, you're betting on the tough side of Oz as well this time, and now you're losing? Gambling is what you lose. So, how much did you bet?

"5000"

"Five hundred lil? It's a common sense sum for your Lord."

... No, it's not.

"Five thousand... ten thousand (...)."

".................. dude. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Nemesis grabs my chest barn with a facial expression that makes me crank.

"Oh, my goodness... oh, my goodness, no!? Such a lot of money, no... Yep!?"

Nemesis looked like he couldn't even get the word out well because reality hadn't swallowed him.

Marie and her senior also said, "What are you messing with? He looks at me with a face that feels like

But Luke is nicotine, so I'm sure he knows.

"Nemesis. No. The other way around."

"On the contrary, what is the opposite!?"

No, that's why...

"Because I (...) bet on Cashmere"

"................................. Huh?

Nemesis finally leaked his voice with a pungent expression of thought circuitry.

"I somehow wagered on Cashmere. I was so confident when we met earlier."

Then he actually won.

The cashmere odds were five and five times higher, so the 5 million lil has changed quickly to 275 million lil. Wow.

"............ I have too much to say, words are jammed up and not coming out anymore. but say only one thing"

"Oh."

Nemesis glanced into my eyes with a grumpy face in this short time,

"Lord, don't gamble anymore. Scary."

That's what I said in a voice that spit out of my heart.

Worried about what I gave back, the words that came out of my mouth,

"............... does Gacha go into gambling?

The answer was a familiar drop kick every time.
