＜Infinite Dendrogram＞

□ ■ Border zones and over

Ultimia and Claudia take the distance, as indicated.

That's not evacuation, it's escape.

Something to showcase the maximum speed of both driven brilliant jade horses.

Not just in the air, the speed of travel in a riding battle depends on the performance of the riding, not the AGI of the person.

Therefore, after accelerating and taking an advantage over the opponent, fight the opponent with an attack of a weapon by his own AGI. That is the iron rule of riding combat in < Infinite Dendrogram >.

If you are serious about releasing a blow you intend to defeat your opponent, accelerating the ride is a prerequisite.

In other words, just like Ultimia, who declared with determination, Claudia does not reciprocate as she did earlier, but hangs on to the punishment with all her might.

Do you believe in her prowess or is there any other reason to do that to Ultimia, who should never be able to kill her?

Either way, for the first time here, it will be a combined offensive.

Two brilliant jade horses that take distance, walk, and fly.

"- Storm Acceleration"

But what exceeded the speed was - [Emerald Great Storm].

Get your own engine fully operational, spraying the wind like a storm from the vent that forced it out of the side of your torso - to maximum acceleration.

The flight gently breaks through the speed of sound and fleshes in an instant to the silver that was running through the air.

That's the real pinnacle of [Emerald Great Storm].

The Huangyu Horse Five Rides, carried out by Flagman, are each given a specific performance based on Unit 1 [Golden Thunder (Gold Thunder)].

Attack Specialized Unit III, [Red Jade Eruption (Ruby Illustration)].

Unit 4 with anti-sex specialization, [Aoyama Wave Tao (Sapphire Wave)].

Unit V of Land Warfare Specialization, [Obsidian Earth Edge, Obsidian Land Rift].

And unit two of mobility specialization, [Jade Storm].

Wind attributes… specializing in the control of huge wind outbreaks and peripheral airflow.

That is - [Emerald Great Storm] is the fastest brilliant jade horse.

……

Silver against takes a clear lag.

That's impossible.

Outside fuselage - Silver with special characteristics (...) cannot be fattened by speed to [Emerald Great Storm].

Not to mention the inability (...) to demonstrate its peculiarity in the present situation.

"Worship my hind dust, my newest brother."

That's what [Emerald Great Storm] tells us while clarifying the speed difference.

It is a vocalization using his function, Wind Attribute Magic, an application of what had connected Claudia's conversations until earlier.

Boasting performance on his brothers' rides, just before staggering, [Emerald Great Storm] carried out a lateral rewind - barrel roll.

"- First shot, I'll let you go!!"

And Claudia took position just above Ultimia.

The cutting edge of the blade did not arrive, but the horse spear is in position to reach.

On the horse of [Emerald Great Storm], turned upside down by a barrel roll, Claudia pokes a spiral horse spear (drill lance), a perk weapon.

"Huh!"

But it's not just Ultimia who takes it.

Shake [Alter] to match the protruding horse spear.

A horse spear thrust in for an attack cannot be diverted until the moment before.

And whether it's a perk weapon, Alter can cleave it with one knife.

Ultimia matched the tip of the horse spear and cut the [Alter] blade vertically into it.

On the verge, the horse spear that [Alter] was supposed to contact disappeared, - and the horse spear was poked from different angles (...) toward Ultimia.

"Huh!"

Ultimia twisted herself on her horse aggressively trying to dodge the spear poked from her blind spot, but the tip was toward her lower body, not her moving upper body.

……

Silver twisted his horse body again, but the tip slightly plundered Ultimia's left leg.

The impact of the contact is transmitted from the left foot to Ultimia.

"Kuh!"

After staggering, the two leave their distance in a different momentum.

Ultimia turns her gaze to her left foot in an attempt to ascertain the wounds she has now suffered.

"No scratches?

There was not one scratch there, not a drop of blood.

It did have to have been hit, and there was also an impact on his left leg.

But in retrospect, there was no pain.

But there's an anomaly.

"... you're not moving. This left foot."

The left leg the spear touched...... it won't move even if I try to move it.

You can't even move your fingers from your left knee down.

As if even a strong anesthesia had been applied.

"Well... you know, privileged weapons."

To the phenomenon, Ultimia makes two understandings.

One is why Claudia has put so much effort into killing Ultimia that she wants to get it.

At the same time that I believed in Ultimia's skill, I was certain that I would never kill her.

The reason for this is that privileged weapon... a spiral horse spear.

The privileged weapon seen in Appraisal Eye is named [Zhenxiao Vortex Drim Rogue].

"Town" and "Coma". What the words' repression 'and' coma 'mean… is Ultimia's left foot now.

Yes, behind that mechanical and, above all, seemingly destructive appearance of an object, the unique gear skill as a reward weapon is a non-killing attack (...).

A special golem for mob crackdown, once created in civilization earlier periods, rumbled while retaining function and direction (...).

That was certified as < UBM > by [Zhenxiang Mechanical Armor Drim Rogue] and is now in Claudia's hands as [Zhenxiang Vortex].

Drim Piercing, a constantly active passive skill, does no physical damage.

Instead, sleep the opponent's flesh according to the original amount of damage from the contact site (...).

If you continue to be attacked, you will not be able to take one physical move.

"I'm glad you were attacked on your left foot."

If I had received it in my right hand, I would have removed [Alter].

If it were my left hand, I would have let go of the silver reins and fallen off.

If it was the head, that was it.

But the left foot, if it is on horseback, is still not deadly. It is still possible to hold the horse's body with its legs because it moves from the knee to the top.

You are fortunate to have captured the identity of your opponent's Benefit Armor without being determined to compete in the first shot.

But yes, therefore, Ultimia understood one more thing, and fought.

"... and that spear orbit is not according to (...) on the perk weapon (...)"

A penetrated spear disappears from sight, as if attacking from a different angle.

If a non-killing attack is a feature of a benefit weapon...... that it is Claudia's own technology (...) there.

That presumption is correct.

The name of the skill is Paradox Stinger.

[Punch God] It is Claudia's knitted depths, and the skill to change the - starting point (...) of the penetrated spear.

An earlier generation of [Punch God], Ronald Barbaros used a lot of his skills to create a "Distribution Pile".

It was the skill of communicating the power and impact of the pilebanker to the forward space and extending the range.

It is another system of jobs, but the ultimate depths of the [Destroyer King] are those that tap into space with their own power.

There are a number of skills that use space or alter the superiority in this way… Paradox Stinger is one such skill.

The moment it penetrates, it twists and bends the placement of the space, mutating it into an attack from a completely different blind spot than just before.

The direction is any of Claudia's and surely hits the opponent's most undefended spot first.

(If Claudia is free to choose the direction in which to release the spear, it's inevitable even if she knows she's going to use it...)

It is an unparalleled and fearsome skill in melee combat.

However, shortcomings also exist.

MP and SP… especially MP depletion is jumping because it interferes even more directly in space than previous generations of Distortion Pile, which communicate only power and impact.

Therefore, even though [Punch God] cannot be used much.

- If only the user wasn't even Claudia.

"That's a second blow!

[The Great Storm of Emerald] was approaching behind me, arcing from the rear and chasing me away.

It is in a caught up form due to the speed difference between the two horsemen.

"Really?

But silver doesn't just get caught up either.

The ability to swivel faster by creating scaffolding in space because of driving rather than flying exceeds [Emerald Great Storm].

Immediately cutting back, Ultimia waves the blade to Claudia's impending torso.

The Paradox Stinger strikes again.

"I see it!!"

But Ultimia twisted her wrist and dodged her impending tip… Conversely, she tried to cut off the horse spear with [Alter], who changed her orbit with wrist rotation.

At that timing - the third Paradox Stinger was released.

The starting point of the poke changes again, and the horse spear that [Alter] was supposed to cleave can disappear immediately.

But the tip of the horse spear also doesn't capture Ultimia.

This isn't a blind spot.

Because of continuous use, there was no change of starting point to blind spot like the first shot.

Ultimia was dodging a horse spear to the head, captured at the edge of her sight, on a piece of paper.

So again, the two horsemen are wrong, and the distance is vacant.

(Continuous activation……. Skills that seem to drain heavily but... no, Claudia would be possible)

Ultimate thought so because of Claudia's talent, similar to the history and personality creation that led to [Punch God] …

More so, it is the reason why we have taken root in the rules of this world.

(That kid doesn't just carry [Punch God])

That's the answer.

Claudia is [Punch God] - [Machine King] as well.

[Machine King], the status of the mechanic lineage is skewed by the rise in MP and DEX.

And even if the main job is [Punch God] and the skills of another system are no longer available... the status of [Machine King] remains.

Compared to other avant-gardes, the enormous MP made a series of Paradox Stingers easy.

But I know one thing.

On the current offense, Ultimia realized that there was.

(In line with Claudia's attack, if this one targets her... she'll have to use that skill in defense)

That's the difference in the weapons they brought into this fight.

Whereas the special [Alter], the immortal [Drim Rogue].

It goes without saying that [Alter] is more lethal if you unleash an attack together and let the opponent hit you with a misstab.

It has nothing to do with being wrapped in machine armor. It would mutilate Claudia's body, without any defense.

Therefore, there is no way Claudia will be attacked by [Alter] in order to win.

Until recently, Claudia had completely absorbed Ultimia's offense by concentrating on defense.

But how talented Claudia shouldn't be, it doesn't mean she can be diverted in the middle of an attack.

Now that Claudia herself is turning to offense, it is impossible to have a complete diversion like the one she had earlier. If you try to do that while carrying out the attack, the spear will now be engraved a little bit.

That's why Claudia is switching to defense by attack.

It narrows the aim of Paradox Stinger to the right hand with [Alter] or the head that will faint if hit. Otherwise, because Ultimia will knock [Alter] in, even if it is pierced by a horse spear.

If you say so, you have to choose where Claudia will attack better, in reverse of the offense you were doing before the questioning.

If Ultimia is to win, it needs to be surpassed by the reward of that offense, and Claudia or [The Great Storm of Emerald] mutilated and pushed out of combat......

(but you can't win as it is)

In a mere reward, the palm is read.

If it's been read through, Ultimia knows she can't beat Claudia.

(The odds of winning at school, though they were cutting 10%)

All of those victories are only when Ultimia makes Claudia read off.

Therefore, choosing here is also such a method of warfare.

Attract less than 10% of victories - here.

"And that's a good one, too."

"I wonder what?

"It's a horse. If [the second model] had been used, it would have been easy to win or lose."

In that word, Ultimia had somewhere to think just a little "still".

Claudia chose to fight in the air because of the difference between the horses.

Claudia wants to work with Ultimia, but also craves victory at the same time. Therefore, I guess I was thinking about a meal to that extent.

But he rides almost the same size of silver, but the difference between horses is infinitely filled for it. The advantages and disadvantages of aerial warfare are not such that even if [Emerald Great Storm] is the fastest brilliant jade horse, the balance of advantages and disadvantages leans to one side.

"Is that a gift from Ray Sterling?

"Borrowed."

"Really?... Hey, Ultimia"

Claudia stayed just a little while,

"- Is Ray Sterling your lover?

Said an unexpectedly extreme word for Ultimia.

"Huh!?"

Ultimia mistook the reins for a moment and thought 'Shit'.

I wonder if it was a word to make my gap.

But Claudia doesn't look like that. He looked like he was waiting for an answer as he flew [Emerald Great Storm].

"... no."

"So you're one-sided"

"... I don't know what you're talking about"

There's been a reaction to the verdict.

"Huh!?"

Ultimia blushed, resenting the skills she had also used.

"But you don't have to make a" verdict. "I'm in love with you again, too, maiden. I fully understand that you are beginning to have a pale love for someone and that it is not me."

That's what Claudia said.

"Hey, Ultimia. It's like we're betting on each other's stature in this match, but... that you won't come to the Empire with that Ray Sterling when I win?

"... what kind of calculation is that?

Ultimia asked sincerely the words of her best friend, who again could not understand.

In contrast, Claudia answers as if it were nothing.

"I want you, but I don't care what you get on top of that. Either way, I or you will need to take over the country. So leave your thoughts beside me with you..."

- That's an unforgivable insult, Claudia.

But the answer touched the Ultimian scales.

"More than you want my body and body, that's unforgivable."

"Oh, really?

"Yes, if you want to threaten his freedom..."

While pointing the [original Holy Sword] of your right hand at Claudia,

"- Me and [Alter] will slash your demon hand"

Ultimia declared that.

"Haha. You make me jealous, Ultimia!!"

With words of jealousy, but somewhere happy, Claudia further accelerates [the Great Storm of Emerald].

Three assaults, there was a willingness to attack to move the situation further here.

In contrast, Ultimia will also be ready to intercept (...).

"Silver. Do you know what I want to do?"

…………

Silver nodded as he moved his neck to Ultimia's words.

"Yes. Then timing it"

Determined, Ultimia swirls silver again, facing Claudia on [Emerald Great Storm].

My distance rapidly approached zero...

"-" Cut "!

Moments later, Ultimia waves [Alter] into the space in front of her.

It is one of [Alter] 's skills, the "Cut" - Energy Cutting Capacity Launch Declaration.

With that force - I cut off the thermal energy (...) in the space in front of me.

At the same time, silver, drawing Ultimia's will from the mantle, changes the orbit as though it were a backstep while changing the position of formation of the scaffold of compressed air.

Shortly afterwards - [Emerald Great Storm] crashed into the wall (...) in the air.

The identity of the wall is the compressed air (...) that was instantaneously cooled to absolute zero by losing thermal energy.

Silver was forming a wall of compressed air right in front of his eyes just before he changed his orbit and just before Ultimia waved [Alter].

The walls of compressed air are cut off from thermal energy by [Alter], causing all the elements contained to freeze.

compressed air, but thus the volume remains almost unchanged, where walls of ice appear with multiple gases turned to solids.

……!?

Flying, but therefore, [Emerald Great Storm] was unable to evade the wall that suddenly appeared in front of him, clashing against the ice wall in the air with the momentum of the speed of sound.

Still, there's a brilliant jade horse by Flagman, and a barrier of wind, with little damage from the clash.

But the deceleration caused by the clash is inevitable.

In addition, the walls of crushed ice are scattered throughout the air, stirring the vision for a moment as though it were diamond dust.

In the middle of it, Ultimia on silver cuts in from the bottom.

"... it's a boulder!

For a moment only, Claudia was delayed in finding the approaching Ultimia.

Even though it's late, it's already releasing "Paradox Stinger" into the space ahead.

[Drim Rogue] crosses space and strikes Ultimia from space somewhere in close range.

"Disease!!"

But the discovery was delayed, so the aim lacked precision.

A little off your right hand, plunder the right flank of Ultimia.

But in the meantime, Ultimia caught [Emerald Great Storm] in between swords.

Ultimia flashes [Alter] faster than Claudia uses Paradox Stinger again.

It doesn't even reach Claudia's body because it goes down, but this flash breaks off her own leg, [The Great Storm of Emerald].

That makes it impossible to fight in the air, and it is almost impossible to fight even on the ground if you lack your legs.

Falling from high altitude stepped that it would be tolerable with [life-saving brooch], which would be equipped.

(This flash determines the situation!

So, with determination, Ultimia waved [Alter] -,

- I dropped that body in the void.

"... Huh?

A voice of doubt leaked out of Ultimia's mouth.

But or... it could have belonged to Claudia.

She also looked down at Ultimia with a surprised face somewhere.

The reasons for the two doubts and consternation, and the reason for the fall... are all the same.

The silver that was carrying Ultimia - was disappearing.

(Silver disappears... it's... it's...!

That's what Ultimia also said in her own mouth.

Silver is' borrowed ', he said.

Yes, it was loaned to Ultimia, but the owner remains Ray Sterling.

And there is one rule in < Infinite Dendrogram >.

When < master > becomes a death penalty, the possessions disappear together.

Ultimia falls to the ground, guessing why Silver disappears.
