＜Infinite Dendrogram＞

□ [Armored Pilot] Hugo Receps

In front of us, Faye's thin body falls on the floor.

From the long wounds that ran on my body... let me zero out a lot of blood and body contents.

"Cuco!!

"Uh-oh, mam."

It was aggressive behavior.

But do what I have to do… I will execute why I got on this ship.

Lost against Emily can also disappear from her head into this moment's predicament.

As if it were my last offense in Gideon, my body was moving without straying along with my will.

"- The Hell Gate!

I reboard [White Rose] to launch Hellgate immediately.

――――

Emily [froze] in an instant, as she did during the battle in Cortana.

There was no circumvention of judgment, like when fighting Orthodox custom planes, and it was completely frozen.

"And then...!

Same as when I was in Cortana. Use the Bouclier Planetter to trap her ice statue and prevent the destruction of the ice statue by the axe and her resurrection.

What I did once. You should be able to do it again this time.

Yeah, right after I thought,

Emily's left breast glowed in the ice statue - Emily became the dust of light.

"... Huh?

Perplexibly, thoughts blank for a moment.

But that's not long either.

"- Negative"

- Because Emily, reconstituted from the dust of light, has laid an axe on both hands and planted it here.

"Huh!"

Take a defensive stance by fully operating the defensive skills provided for the fuselage.

[Murder Princess] Emily's attack sounds echo in the fuselage, heavier than when she was Cortana.

The weight of her attack is the weight of the life she took.

And even though that involves [freezing] by Hellgate...!

"Saiyan"

One or three seconds pass and she freezes again.

But her left shoulder glows, and then her whole body becomes dust of light again... reconstituted.

"No way......!

My spine gets cold.

That's what I expected.

To the method of warfare that broke her once, I was thinking of the possibility that her... companion, who would also be there, would strike a countermeasure.

But no way......

"... he, every time he puts on, is shining (...)"

- If it hangs abnormally (...), it dies (...), I don't know...

Not a skill.

I don't think Embrio has already acquired new skills, and it's hard to imagine that there are general purpose job skills that only have such disadvantages

Possibly… Equipment that reacts to state anomalies in restraint or curse systems to stop life activity.

It's nothing but a disadvantage, and it's impossible if it's normal.

Because the state anomaly is troublesome, but lighter than death.

But not for Emily.

For Emily, it's lighter to die once than to be sealed for a long time (...).

I can't believe you're breaking up like that......

".......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

As a countermeasure to Emily, I was hired by Mr. Manigold.

But this situation... is too unfavourable.

One freeze every 13 seconds, one death every 13 seconds.

But Emily's resuscitation times are limitless.

For sure, I lose faster than the resuscitation runs out.

There is also a problem with [White Rose] 's uptime.

The situation is more unfavourable than Cortana.

"... Still, we can't overlook her here"

Where she's going through this mall.

Do you go to the bridge and attack Mr. Manigold in the middle of a battle?

Going to a special hall and attacking a lot of people?

No matter where she goes, people die ahead of her on her way.

She kills people again.

"So I'll stop her here......!

"Uh-oh, mam."

Besides... I have measures.

If her measures against the Hell Gate are due to outside gear, you just need to get rid of it.

Destroy it with an attack, or... if Mr. Eldridge.

□ ■ [Eltrame] - Commercial block

"Faye......"

Eldridge holds Faye down on the floor.

"Faye! Are you okay!

Niara also abandons her usual calm expression and takes several healing items out of the item box and hangs them on the fay.

But her HP decline won't stop.

A lot of blood has already been lost from her body, and her guts are zero.

We need at least the depth of the senior priesthood to avoid death, but we are not here.

Faye looks down at her own body, exhaling irregularly.

"The dress, it's torn... I can see the boobs... it's off"

"Faye, till you're like this..."

With one laugh on, Faye is forced to make a smile with a pulling face.

Then I see Eldridge's face holding itself up.

"But the owner hugged me... you make a difference. Niara, are you jealous...?

"Already...!

To Faye, there is no goodbye grandeur.

Unlike Tian, < Master > is immortal.

If the death penalty dawns, she'll be back again.

"Oh, but... I'm sorry"

But......

"... with the owner, at the ball, he wanted to dance"

The only wish she wanted to fulfill at that time, it won't.

…………

I can't even fulfill the trivial wishes of the girl who followed me to my fallen self.

To that, Eldridge remembers self-loathing.

Still......

"Owner"

Faye laughs at him......

"Atashi, I want the owner to win..."

I spoke of a wish for a replacement.

"Win...?

I want him to win.

Eldridge quickly figured out who Fey was referring to as' the guy '.

[Murder princess] Emily, who caused Faye fatal injuries.

He is the owner of the Immortal Super Embrio and one of the most fierce of the Super.

There's nothing worse than a defeat to Eldridge.

"In me..."

But Faye pointed to someone like that...

"The owner is strong..."

Smile calmly,

"'Cause I don't think I can beat you...' cause I believe in you, Atashi (...)"

Beloved man's, pressed his back.

――――

To her words, Eldridge loses her words.

Look for where the answer is going, look down at Faye's face, and look up at Niara's face standing next to her.

But they were both... snorting at him.

Be brave with him.

They still believed when < Goblin Street > tasted the first total annihilation at the hands of “Sake Pond Flesh Forest” Laylay.

'If I had an owner, I would have beaten < super >,' he said.

But then Eldridge lost his trust when he beat Super in a row and the members left.

Still, Faye still believed in disappearing now.

Niara dropping her off next to Eldridge also believed.

If you own it, you can beat Super.

innocently, purely, wholeheartedly...... I kept believing.

That's... I could understand Eldridge so painfully.

…………

He feared more than anything another defeat to Super.

I kept frightened that if I lost the next time, it would be the next time even they would leave.

But now he understands.

Even if he loses... they were with us.

No matter how many times he lost... he kept believing in me.

Then what he should show is... not being afraid.

"Good luck, Atashi lover (owner)"

Leaving words at the end...... Faye became dust of light.

".................. oh"

Eldridge engraves the disappearing figure of Faye and the words she left behind.

Eldridge dropped off the light that was Faye...... up.

And look to the engaged Hugo and Emily......

"- Instead (...), Hugo"

With words - I waved both hands.

Immediately after, a blood splash splashes from Emily's neck... and Emily, whose throat was choked, retreats.

At that time came the judgment of Hell Gate, frozen with his throat held down.

After the left flank of the body shines, it becomes dust of light again and comes back to life, but temporarily stops moving.

"Niara. It's a falcon. Bury it."

"Copy that!"

Following Eldridge's instructions, Niara calls Siemorg's fastest fighter… Fighting Falcon.

Fighter like a mechanical falcon flies to the ceiling directly above Emily...... clash.

The commercial block ceiling collapses to bury Emily's ice statue alive.

Even if this resuscitates, it will buy us little time before it comes out of the rubble.

At this hour, Eldridge tells Hugo what to tell him.

"I hear Hellgate has been hit with measures and hasn't made it through. Then I'll deal with him here. Hugo to the power block."

"But if Hellgate, which doesn't work now, also takes away the opponent's opposing gear..."

Can be frozen and sealed again.

To Hugo, who almost said so, Eldridge shook his head.

He knows full well what Hugo is trying to say.

On top of that, deny it.

"I can't. I can't take that gear away."

Eldridge continues his words as he looks without alarm at Emily's buried debris.

"The emission point of the effect just before he died...... did you notice that the activated part of the gear skill was different each time? In addition, there is no noticeable equipment at the emission point. Perhaps your equipment skills are activated subcutaneously"

Even as he was dropping off his disappearing fay, Eldridge cautiously captured the changes that had occurred to Emily.

"What is that...?

"The estimated equipment location is' in the body '. It's also flowing' in the blood '. I can't take it away from you if I can't see it."

"In your body......!?

"Did you pour an ultra-small accessory into your body with a syringe, or let you wear another piece of equipment and send it into your body with the effect of that equipment? Either way, I'm surrounded. It's as if it was a" good deal to steal gear from someone you know. "It's also surprising that we can create such a mechanism... but some of us can. < Infinite Dendrogram > Bye."

◆

The name of the equipment is [Euseanesia (Euthanasia)].

Machina - a minimal accessory that flows through the bloodstream, developed by [Onao Designer], has the highest technical ability in previous periods of civilization in its ability to create items.

The extremely small size is also the result of the imposition of measures not to be taken by reference to [Bandit King] and others, known as Eldridge said.

Referring to the skills of a certain job for which Makina had data, activate the Immediate Death Effect on the equipper with the condition that it is' equipped '-' hanging on a restraint system condition anomaly '.

It has the disadvantage of not being able to erase the signs when it has an induced immediate death effect on the body as a whole (it cannot afford to have the ability to erase them), but it is first and foremost impossible to destroy or rob them with the aim.

It's gear to keep Emily from welcoming her defeat in Cortana again, which was unexpected.

◆

"Unless you can leave your whole body dust and incinerate it, but from what I've seen, we've got all the resistance to those attacks in other gear."

Having seen combat footage at Cortana, Eldridge knows Emily's gear didn't burn as if it were a direct hit by the Crimson Sphere.

"So drop the countermeasure gear and give up the possibility that you'll contain the [Murder Princess]."

'But......'

"I repeat... you go to the power block. The Hell Gate should also be valid for the head of the Orthodox government headed that way. It may not work for the same reason as the previous one, but clear the issue."

Mr. Eldridge ran out telling Hugo to dump Emily......

"- [Murder Princess] I'll do it."

Again, I declared a battle with < super >.

the battle he had avoided so much... but now he is not afraid.

"Mr. Eldridge......"

"I don't want to say a big word about taking revenge. I'll see you in three days."

is immortal.

Even if it's not an instant resurrection like Emily's, I can log back in if the three day death penalty breaks out in this time.

"- That's not why I'm not angry that they did Faye"

He doesn't hold his fist.

Because open palms are his fighting attitude.

That's why he shows anger with his open hands.

"I couldn't even grant him that little wish of his that followed me this far. Such indignation towards myself and [the Murder Princess]... clears up here"

"Mr. Eldridge."

"Above all... if the two of you who believe in me believe in my victory, just respond to it"

Eldridge says he will fight himself.

That's what Hugo had to ask him.

'... can you win?

and quasi.

The battle power difference is historical. That's how Marie Adler, who managed to defeat Super alone, was dubbed Super Killer.

Eldridge, like no other, understands that.

Not as many men continued to lose < super > in action as he did.

After all those facts, he...

"The odds of winning - 70% (...)"

Extremely natural... that's what I said.

A man who kept losing to said he could "beat" the immortal.

"Niara, follow Hugo and assist him, too."

"... Yes"

In the fight against Emily, Niara's help is unnecessary.

I nodded at Eldridge's words because Niara also knew it could be a foot clump.

"Don't worry. Now...... I win"

"... I believe"

"That's why, Hugo. I'll take care of this place. Go ahead."

'Okay.... good luck.'

"Knight or samurai-like rhetoric, but let's take it"

Eldridge smiled just a little and dropped Hugo and Niara off on her back.

Hugo didn't look back, Niara only looked back once... and headed to the power block.

At that time, Emily returned from the rubble.

"- Negative"

Her eyes were emotionally invisible and inorganic, but she saw Eldridge as a complete enemy.

That looked like a girl, but a horrible killing machine.

But there's not much that can beat her.

"Cardina's Strongest PK, [Murder Princess] Emily Killingston"

Still, Eldridge calls the name of the mighty enemy in front of him.

On his face, there is no fear.

Just calm down...... I'm double-checking (...) the steps to victory.

He already knows his opponent's hand with combat footage in Cortana.

That's why I said it after analyzing it.

The winning percentage is 70%, he said.

"My name is [Robbery King] Eldridge."

That's how he slowly took his name and

"- A man called the strongest PK in the kingdom (...)"

- I named two old names.

That's... the alias he once had.

He was replaced by the likes of Zechs and Cashmere, and now even fewer people know that he was.

But... the name is not false.

The first man in the kingdom (...) to be called that is - he.

――――

It is uncertain if Emily in automatic killing mode is able to analyze the enemy's power.

But now Emily...... does look out, alerting Eldridge.

Eldridge also... looking to his own enemies.

The little one (Goblin) - stripped his fangs to the immortal killer.
