＜Infinite Dendrogram＞

□ [Saint Knight] Ray Sterling

"... ha"

Since the end of World War II, I've been back in the Eighth Arena.

Keep your back on stage like in the morning...... watching the flowing clouds.

"Kisher (how are you... not?

A little gal sat on my forehead lying on my back and asked me that as I slapped Pessipesi in the face.

"... To be honest, I'm not well"

"Kisher (… yes)"

After the game, Mr. Raleigh spoke to me in the same way as "It was fun."

Only Mr. Raleigh can tell if that was his care for me, or if he really enjoyed it.

However, he also said that if he stayed on the stage to fight < UBM >, he would invite members of the clan, including me.

Mr. Raleigh himself said, "Maybe not, but I'll try my best," but I'm sure he'll win.

So maybe that was good for the clan. He also tells everyone who comes for backup to support Mr. Raleigh, not me.

However, apart from the consequences as a clan... I have some thoughts about myself.

…………

Mr. Raleigh... lost even though he couldn't do anything.

Clearly, the shock is enormous.

I've lost many times. Including mock warfare is unlimited.

But this time, her breasts are heavier than when Marie first lost or when she was assigned to a senior feminized student at the home of the Moon Life Party.

That must have been because I thought, 'I'm stronger'.

Evolution of Nemesis, Riding Silver, Equipping Benefits Martial Arts, and Improving Local Power.

And numerous experiences I've been diving through.

I thought I could fight better than before, which is why it sounds like I lost without a hand or a leg this time.

Nemesis seems to be the same, and now he's caged inside the crest.

Still......

"Kisher (... broken heart?

…………

I don't have to be questioned that way following the overhead little gal...... I realize.

Think of yourself now, your own mind shocked by the defeat...... I know.

This is not some kind of pain that you can't stand up for.

"... it's not broken. Just a little bent."

I understand it's pain to be stronger.

The shock of complete defeat is great, but it hasn't broken yet.

I failed, but I didn't have anything to gain.

'Now I can do it' and to be satisfied with my strength and my bills... that I was just immature.

Because it has failed, the room to become stronger again appears obvious.

If you realize that, you'll soon have the strength to get up, too.

"... if it's bent, I'll have to hit it again."

With the words, a nemesis appeared out of the crest.

Apparently, the idea is the same.

"Oh. We still have time until the night the finals end. Let's work out a little bit by then."

"Uhm!"

Perhaps Mr. Raleigh will win the “tournament” on the first day.

Fighting Pearl's < UBM > allows those who have the right to fight to choose a desired day each time.

But Mr. Laylay doesn't have a free schedule, so he'll be fighting as soon as the finals are over.

I don't think I can be an MVP without Mr. Raleigh.

However, you should be able to gain experience with a strong enemy named < UBM >.

"You're up to a level in preparation for the fight against < UBM >.... I'd like to confirm something about this guy, but that's going to take a while, so maybe another time."

I took a single weapon out of the item box... an unnamed axe.

When I saw it, Nemesis turned against me.

"Nna ⁉ Ray! Are you still going to use this one ⁉ wasn't it a piece of wood dust!

Nemesis was, for some reason, very outraged.

"The last hand, more importantly, blew the whole body of the Lord out there!

Apparently, the way you settled with Mr. Raleigh was so much for Nemesis... it didn't bother her her, which is also a weapon.

It's time to pick a reward, I guess it's a girl and at the same time a criterion as a weapon is in her.

"But nemesis. That's not his fault, is it?

Indeed, Nemesis is right, the end of the game with Mr. Raleigh was my suicide bombing, and the cause was the use of Koitz.

But at that time... I was able to grasp it because of the suicide bomber.

One arm blew up in the simulation, and the whole body (...) disappeared in the "tournament".

Where the difference is...... I saw a little thanks to the fight with Mr. Raleigh.

A recoil that wipes out your arms and entire body is not a simple physical damage.

That's why the effects were expanding under the influence of Mr. Laylay's resistance down skills.

I don't know what the force was that ran through my whole body in an instant, but this is one end.

If there is a resistance gear that fits this guy's effect, one that grants him resistance to certain effects like "Light Absorption" in [Black Wrap]... he might be able to wield this guy.

"This guy is not an unreasonable substitute. Well, there were rules for this guy, and that was the only thing that happened."

"Mmmm..."

The verification of what this guy's recoil is caused by can be carried out within the boundaries of the home base.

It would be difficult to have all sorts of rare resistance gear, and it would take some time to verify, but I could grasp that cut.

"... but you are. Whatever that is, regardless of Ray Ray's skills, what if this guy just got in a bad mood and increased recoil?

…………

... Is there a line?

No, there isn't... right?

I've been talking to him all morning, but I need to be in a bad mood...

"It's okay, isn't it?

I'll ask... as a matter of course there was no answer from the axe.

"... well, good about this one. Where do we get to level more than that? There's a lot of people around Gideon these days, so we're not going hunting."

"Oh, did you have that problem"

Many are gathered in Gideon under the influence of the Tournament.

Many will compete in the "tournament” after tomorrow, enough to hear about the monsters around Gideon being allowanced or hunted as soon as possible to level and adjust.

Avoid going to a hunting ground with a lot of people because it seems oddly noticeable and distracting.

"Besides, where people are, you can't use Hell's Chi."

"Kisher."

"... I wonder if the premise is too much air use."

Now, if that's why we're going to level up, where there aren't many people, and yet it has to be my fair level hunting ground.

Yet far enough to be back by night.

When it comes to having such a convenient place, there is.

"There is?

"This is where my brother told me. They fly silver at full speed, about an hour south, and they have just the right hunting grounds for me to do it solo. It's the southernmost part of the kingdom, and it used to be a buffer zone with Legendary."

Anything was dominated by the powerful < UBM >, and he was taken in by the kingdom after his brother defeated him with someone.

"It's in the back of the mountain, where the road barely crosses, but it doesn't matter if you fly in silver. Plus, it's the opposite of the Tianlong habitat, so flying hardly ever encounters a Tianlong. If anything happens on the ground, I can fly away. Just fine, right?

"I see. It's just fine."

Luke used to level up there, too.

"... even though we started at the same time, the level difference with the guy opened up a lot."

Luke's leveling was originally fast, but he seemed to accelerate even more while I was in college class with a drastic drop in weekday login.

"Not only is he stronger, but the three of you are stronger."

Sounds like it's time for a pure dragon class.

It depends on who you're dealing with right now, but you're going to win the tournament.

If it's a match, does it have a neck waiting time to activate Union Jack? Pre-game rides and in-capacity monster deployments are safe, but you can't get ready to use your skills.

"Kisher (now I work myself out better than people worry...... right?

"Right. Okay, let's go."

"Uhm."

That's how I called Silver across, Nemesis behind him like one day, and Tibigal on top of his head.

... nemesis don't worry about the little gal falling anyway.

Either way, that's how we get back on our minds and head south to level.

To the former border zone, which was once the territory of the [UBM].

■ "Prison”

“Prison".

This was now the space of death, the last place where the Death Penalty was sent after committing a crime against the law.

For three days now < super >...... [Plague King] The lethal virus released by Candy's rechef has been sprayed and almost all of the prisoners incarcerated have died.

An unreasonable area where if you log in you will be infected with a lethal virus and subjected to a three-day death penalty of internal time.

A small number of survivors have also been killed by Garbera, set outside the virus.

As such, due to the massacre that lasted two or three days, there is no one left but the super guys now, and they can't even log in by way of a death penalty.

All of them, for this day.

Zex's planned jailbreak plan for the members.

As a prep, I did it to save the other indeterminate element.

But the prep is already ready.

In an hour... "jailbreak” will be executed.

"Huh. This is the last day I'll have a nice cup of coffee, sir."

"Well...... But I can still drink the owner's coffee... Oh, owner. Take these dolphin glasses with you."

Candy and Gabella share their thoughts as they taste the last cup of coffee at the coffee shop Dice, where Zex and the others were based.

The store is cleaned up and the view is as lonely as it was just before the move.

Aprile, an employee and property of Zex… [Killer of the Golden Rigid Stone] has also already been punished by an item box.

"... I fell here on my April head and I feel like I've been here a long time... but I'm not done with April yet... It's kind of time insane..."

I felt like I'd been in “jail” for three times as long as Gabella's senses.

That was the same with the candy next door.

"I miss you, sir. If I had earned experience outside (...), I would have come down. The suspicious Glasan corolled me, then I tried to level in“ jail ”and Zee interrupted me, my foot big poisoned woman...... Tori Ha trampled me, sir"

Candy looks back at her smudges and memories as she mouths an old slang with a single woman.

However, for such candy, I give you some information that Zex says "Speaking of which,"

"Mr. Hannya. When I got out, Figaro proposed to me."

"Ha⁉... are you serious, sir?

For a moment, Candy's character blew into too much shock.

It is such a shock to him.

"Yes, it's definite information from a handout."

"Ha, I'm surprised, sir... I'm a tea-drinking friend, but I thought that was definitely a one-way mistake for Ha..."

"Well, I think you all thought so, except for us, right?

"I'm really not sure about relationships, sir. GOD doesn't know, Zo."

That's what Candy said as she kicked some wink and pose for some reason.

Zex smiles as usual, without responding particularly to it.

"Ha seems happy, too, above all, sir. I bless you honestly because I flushed you into the water about being crushed."

I haven't flushed it into the water at the point of mentioning it and I haven't forgotten it, but for one thing, Candy seems to be in a festive mood either.

"Mm-hmm. But Ha's out one foot ahead, and Candy and his delightful friends are leaving now, though.... just here, what do you think will happen to“ prison ”after that, sir?

"Perhaps it will be a skirmish divided into small forces over the medium to long term. Isn't that what makes a city of outlaws?

Zex and the others, the presence of Super was heavy stone.

Prisoners pushed into this “prison" and limited Dendro's way of enjoying themselves, but there are some verses I was suppressing because I was afraid I would be able to keep my eyes on my never-benemies. (Though some of the regular customers would have felt purely like Zekes' brother-in-law)

Without it, he'll probably start playing in the form of a struggle.

"... what's that pull?

"Are you Fuuta-kun? He won't move yet."

"After all, what's he having fun with and logging into Dendro, sir? I'm just stuck in a hole warehouse in the corner the whole time, sir. I'm in trouble because somehow I can't even get the virus, Zo."

"He won't stand in our way, so no problem. Now he's doing 'nothing'."

Fuuta was there the whole time when Zex and Candy came to “jail”.

I'm not sitting in one dungeon, or raising my level.

Anyway, he's not in the job.

What's more, I haven't collected any items, or interacted with others.

He refused to do anything about the act of enjoying the game, and he was there the whole time.

"I think real is better if you don't do anything, sir."

"He's waiting to be ready."

"Ready?"

"Because time is on his Apocalypse side. One by one, they would erode the resources that make up" prison, "accumulate, and eventually eat through“ prison ”on their own."

Hearing that, Candy frowns.

It's like a malignant disease, but that's because it's supposed to be Candy's exclusive patent.

"... so? What's he doing out there, sir?

"I haven't talked to him that long either. I just remember the words I used to whine about."

Zex once invited Fuuta to < IF > several times, refused, and otherwise tried to interact, refused.

But even with that involvement, perhaps the one who made the most contact with him in this “prison" is Zex.

That's why Zex was listening to him whine.

"For your father (...), so be it"

"... father?

The words, Candy didn't quite understand.

"I can't understand why pulling and jailbreaking is for Papi at last, sir. I don't know more than your relationship, Zo."

"Right. I'm sure that's where the rest of us don't understand."

A man who had moved for his own motives in the past grumbled so... sipped his own brewed coffee to breathe.

"Now, there are circumstances like that, and Fuuta-kun will not be involved in the future“ prison ”situation. Future“ prisons "will be places for quasi people like Mr. Hungry Road, who used to be here, or for people who are more knowledgeable to play in formation (...)"

"That sounds a little fun, too, sir."

Candy says so, but only because there is no candy that can destroy the "prison” itself.

In fact, if he cares about it, “prison” becomes a city of death, as it is now.

"Speaking of which, what do you do with this store after you leave, sir?

"The shopkeeper decides to give it to someone in“ prison ”. After we leave here, ownership moves to the first person to visit this store."

"He's lucky, sir....?

So, Candy puts his neck up.

Usually I'd say, '... this place is like an accident property, so I guess I'd say you're lucky... It's time for Gabella to express her opinion of negative thoughts, because bending over means the owner's cauldron is going to be targeted for rights -...'.

However, I finally realized that there was no such thing as Gabella.

(Gah hasn't been around since (...) Sir?

We should have had our last drink with ourselves at first, but now only her favorite glass of dolphins was left there.

It has disappeared surprisingly naturally, and skill relaxation is not an earlier ratio.

Self-esteem has become significantly lower, Gabella, but its strength is inversely proportional.

It's not comparable to before you came here. Because of her low self-esteem, caution and a little cowardice...... her style is complete.

Xex is grateful to Shu for dropping her in “jail” in that sense and Luke for her obvious understatement but crushing her nose column.

(Mr. Gabella seems to be getting ready, too)

Because, first of all, it is certain that this escape will be a success.

"Well, then I'm done drinking coffee... should we get started"

Washing and serving the three glasses, Zex tells Candy… and tells the “prison” administrator who will be watching here somewhere to begin.

One action, which I have already continued to state as a finalisation.

"I'm breaking out of jail now"

That is - it is an escape from the bird cage enclosed by < infinite embrio >.

To be continued
