Episode IX: The Territory of

□ ■ "Prisons”

"... it's my complete defeat"

In the “prison” where the three of them are gone, Redking said so quietly.

Alice explained how she got out of jail, and she was convinced.

Now he's also out of communication with Alice, and Redking thinks alone and reflects on his actions.

"I miss this sense of defeat..."

I've only counted enough since I lost < Master >, such as losing the battle and reviewing my shortcomings.

Lessons learned from great failures, new measures, and shapeless nostalgia were what Redking gained from this commotion.

"Zex. I couldn't read through your plan and you outdid my thinking. That's commendable."

The warden praised the jailbreaker who surpassed himself... honestly.

Even if it was a mistake at work, it was an honest feeling.

"But I'm sure you're not able to read everything either. That's why...... I might be back soon"

But the next word I say is no defeat.

Purely, I thought so.

There was only one ingredient in Redking that I thought so.

"For you in prison, you only knew indirectly what was out there."

To Redking, who presides over the space, is visible.

The likeness of those who approach them.

That's north... Ray Sterling, the average flying from Gideon.

It is incompatible with Zex who, if classified, is good and will strive to be evil.

But that's not the problem with him.

Whatever his brother is, he's extremely unlikely to be able to stop Zex right now.

So it's not him (...).

Zex deforms into a sandalphone and perforates the space... because at the time it begins to affect the outside world, the more terrifying beings are beginning to move.

…………

Redking confirms footage from around the prison.

There...... well reflected.

South of “Prison”... there are looming things from the territory of Legendary (...).

"Prison breakouts… many stories are real after you get out"

In the face of their jailbreak, the management AI monitors the outside world that way.

To change their position from a participant to an audience and watch the second act of their escape.

□ [Sorcerer (Sootherer)] Ray Sterling

I was headed to the southernmost mountain forest of the kingdom, which is a proper hunting ground.

Prior to the level increase, Job is switching to [Spellman].

The reason I chose it is still that axe.

From the huge amount of resentment wrapped around the axe, the candidate who would be most powerful in recoil damage was the curse relationship.

That's why I chose [Spellmaster] to try to alleviate it by gaining spell-based skills as well as resistance skills.

If it helps reduce recoil from the axe, fine.

If not... you just have to reset it as a priority after the junior job boundaries have been filled.

"Lord, if we stay like this, will we align [the Holy Knight] and [the Dark Knight]...?

"... there may be some flow"

The combination of the Spellmaster and Knight lineages seems to be the way to [Dark Knight].

Juliette seems to be delighted with the combination.

He's like the protagonist of the fourth retro RPG, so my brother might be happy with it.

"Maybe we'll find a combined super position, maybe it's a good idea."

Oh, like the [necrophilia] of Xunyu, which can be a combination of [zombies] and the Taoist system.

"But I think a lot of people are taking it on that set. It's classic."

Light and darkness in one, like, is a really common story.

Sure, the pioneers will be trying.

That's why I haven't found it, so it doesn't exist, or I guess I need a twisted condition on top of it being lost.

"It means leveling up in front of you more than the other super job."

"Oh. We're going to get some resistance skills by the end of the day."

If we can take it, we'll see if it works in our home arena.

If it doesn't work, I'll switch to another job after tomorrow and level it up.

"... hmm?

As the flying silver approached the hunting ground, an odd noise reached my ear.

A slight sound I hear from quite a distance...... but it would have been a roar originally.

It sounds like a giant thing roaring from somewhere and crushing something.

I just don't know if you're crushing hard stuff or ripping soft stuff off.

With the roar, you hear the sound of destruction from afar, which you have never heard.

Maybe it's my fault, but I've heard it on Gideon before...... I feel like it sounds like a sandalphone emitted.

"You want to go?"

There is an odd chest noise, changing the path of silver.

"... and you might get into trouble."

If that's the case, then you should still head for it.

Because this place is not as far away from Gideon as it should be.

So we headed in the direction of the sound.

When we got to where the noise was, something still seemed to be happening there.

Even in the distance, abnormalities can be seen.

"That sounds... pretty badly wounded"

One woman was falling down with blood paint.

One woman treats the woman.

And one woman in service clothes beside a carriage that doesn't have horses or ground dragons on it. It's an unusual outfit, but speaking of which, it's no surprise that some of you are wearing a goose all the time.

Then I'm in the shade of a tree and I don't see it very well, but I also hide the clothes from the women.

Apparently it's a party for a pair of women, and something happened here and one of them was seriously injured.

It appears to be undergoing treatment, but it can be seen to be a serious injury, including site defects, even in the distance.

Even senior positions are difficult to treat, and that is if not the [female pope] feminized seniors......

"Huh...?

But that's what I thought. Under my eyes, the bloody woman was completely healing that body.

Surprised.

Was there anyone other than the senior feminized student who could treat such a serious injury immediately?

Or maybe it's a < Embrio > skill.

"Ah."

They look up at me, too, as I look down with amazement.

That's how I got my eyes on the woman I was treating and the woman I was treating.

I also thought it would be rude to turn my heels here and walk away, and decided to let Silver descend.

Besides, the fact that he was badly injured may have caused him some trouble around here.

…………

It's just that Silver seemed to care about the woman in the service clothes. Why not?

……

But I overheard something.

Like earlier, it's not the sound of a giant thing emitting.

Little things sound like they're moving massively.

"What...?

The sound... was heard from the south.

◆ ◆ ◆

■ South-end and border mountain forests of the Kingdom of Alter

Gabella was in quite a hurry inside to see Ray coming down.

(Why are you here...?

I know who they are.

I'm also looking into Ray once when Gabella tried to provoke Shu by placing a sin on him.

Even if not, he was quite a celebrity in Gideon's case.

At least I know a lot better than a duel ranker or something like that that I can't even think of a name for.

But there is no way that such an opponent could be here.

(... No, I'm going to do this)

The more you fight, the more you say you must win.

That's the only chance Ray has of winning against the three of us on the other side of the decimal.

But bad for the three of us now at the point of battle.

If you fight, you will be noticed to exist, and Ray, who is connected to their enemies, starting with Shu, will convey it.

Even if it's a death penalty, I might communicate information about the three of them in real life or on SNS.

jailbreak and an approximate current location.

The risk of that being known is extremely great.

If you organize a crusade or something, it could be another death penalty.

Zex now levels down on top of HP being a third. If you're in Gabella, the Alhazard in the line of favors is worn out.

And if we go back to “jail," it's hard to do the same jailbreak because of the cost.

Zex's level is dropping, and he's going to do more than just leave “prison” with Hanya.

In the period leading up to another jailbreak, there is also a risk that Hanya will be out of stock for Zekes.

Most importantly, Redking may take measures and there may not be a second time.

(Running away too... bet, right?)

If all three of us log out, we might be able to avert the danger now.

However, it takes 30 seconds to log out in non-contact state.

In the meantime, I might be able to remember your face.

Zex wouldn't have found out because he's switching his appearance to [Virgin], but Candy is strongly afraid to be noticed.

In that case, it is also conceivable that it will be staked out at this logout point.

If you don't log out and try to get away with it, you'll be blatantly suspicious.

I might come after you to see if there's anything.

Besides, Ray has the mobility of a brilliant jade horse, so it's suspicious he could get away with it.

(... then I'll let you die instantly before anyone even realizes it,... you can't even...!

The use of the skills of [Dead Soldiers] has been confirmed during the recent meeting of the Reconciliation against [Beast King].

Kill him, but he'll stay close to a minute.

They definitely bring the information back.

He's the only one I see now from Gabella in the first place, but there are other people nearby...... that's even the possibility of having Shu or Luke.

In fact, even if not, it was a natural fear for Gabella, who had just left “prison” and had little outside information.

(No way - this guy is the most annoying person in this situation right now -...)

Killing doesn't disappear immediately, and there are handouts that give the information obtained to the powerful.

As for Gabella, it is a pleasure.

I can only count on Zex and Candy to do something about it already.

But......

"............ hey!?

Seeing the two beside him, Gabella was stunned.

Zex remains in the figure of [Virgin], grasping the < Embrio > of the sword that deformed his body in his right hand.

And if you're in the candy - I'm activating the lechef.

It was an obvious, combative attitude.

"Hey, huh? Do it ⁉ do it here ⁉"

It doesn't seem to me that the two of you, at least Zekes, didn't realize what you were afraid of, Gabella.

Then, as a result of his unintentional and profound conspiracy, he may have, at first glance, run for short-circuited obliteration.

"So, but I still have Alhazard's HP... let me retake it for now... eh, Bowgun will arrive..."

"Gah."

Candy tells Garbera to put up a weapon.

"Fighting is... not the guy in the more walward outfits than the GODs up there, sir"

"Huh?"

Neither Zex, nor Candy, nor even Aprile have seen Ray already.

And Ray's also out of sight of them.

The three of them and I were looking in the southern direction.

- The border with Legendary.

"- territorial (...)"

"Owner......?

Gabella was a little surprised by Zex, who shrugged so much.

That's because his unbreakable smile was only slightly distorted.

I don't sweat on his forehead, which is slime...... so much so that I wonder if I would have gotten cold sweat if I could.

"You were losing your mind. This was originally a buffer zone with Legendary and the border is still close… could this have happened"

"Hey, what are you saying is coming...? A territory... of what?

Zex answers quietly to the werewolf Gabella.

The answer was simple, common in creation, but... it was a name she'd never met face to face in < Infinite Dendrogram >.

That is...

"- [Demon King (Lord)]"

Shortly afterwards, the woods made a noise - the aliens who had herded came towards them.
