<Infinite Dendrogram>

Episode 10 [Demon King] 's Power

■ About [Demon King]

There are three kinds of managerial AI created, starting with Redking.

The first is the Gravemark Labyrinth.

Relics left by the previous administrators who judge this world, dungeons created to seal it up.

The second is "Prison".

A dungeon set aside to entertain the Masters imprisoned in “Prison". It is also not named and mixes elements of various dungeons.

And the third, [Demon King] 's < Divine Dungeon >.

Dungeons created to overlap the Demon King Transfer Dungeons that existed before the Management AI managed them.

Dungeons of extremely high difficulty because of their dual structure by previous and modern administrators.

But those who controlled it are told they can transfer to the [Demon King] series, which is a super position.

This [Demon King] is the true opposite (...) super position of a special super position that demands special blood muscles and talents.

I ignored (...) the various talents required by super positions. Super positions.

Although the condition of one contemporary is the same as that of any other superior position, whoever controls the dungeon can take up office.

But very few have gained [Demon King] by dominating.

It has only appeared enough to count [the Angry Demon King (Lord Ira)], which appeared before the Three Powers era and was eventually defeated by the [Brave] of the time. Or, even if it appears, it's unknown. (Conversely, the few famous examples [Angry Demon King] anecdotes are performed both in modern times and as plays)

However, that was before the start of the Infinite Dendrogram service.

There are seven Demon King transfer dungeons, multiple of which exist within Legendary.

Three are present in Legendary except in Heaven and Earth, in Cardina, in Dreiffe, and in Unknown Location.

Three things: < < Hunger Mountains >, < Chi Bottom >, and < Tranquil Exiles >.

The placement cannot be helped by the management AI and others.

It was gathered in Legendary more than it was originally, so if it was made on top of each other, it would be.

Although the Redkings also felt unbalanced, they had no choice.

Because the intent of this placement cannot be known without asking the previous administrator.

Even if there were three Demon King transfer dungeons in the territory, there were no particular problems for Legendary.

It's all there is.

It's only in remote areas among legendaries, and monsters never come out of the interior like naturally occurring dungeons.

Sometimes it is a place where powerful people turn to gain the power of [the Demon King] and just never return.

Due to the high level of offensive difficulty, there are no [Demon King] in Legendary.

Therefore, it is a place of nothing.

I mean, don't sneak up on God who doesn't touch you. … [Demon King].

However, the situation changes.

In recent years there have been two unfortunate things for Legendary.

First, the increase.

The nature of returning after three days of death.

This has dramatically changed the difficulty of the dungeon.

A demon king's transition dungeon that included many elements of the first sight set up by a previous administrator in the offense and could only return alive enough dominators to count in history.

But < master > can bring the information back.

The three < Divine Dungeons >, which could not be cleared by strength alone, were made slightly more round by this.

Secondly, dominator.

After the gathering of information, it was a situation where we could dominate if we had enough strength to dominate.

But it's not Dada, but it's still difficult.

In addition, the convenience of the use of demon king transfer, or the specification that the difficulty jumps to different digits when human beings partied together, and the fact that they were asked to attack solo also played a role in making the strategy difficult.

I mean, we needed more than just information, we needed enough strength to clear it solo.

Not many of them, including Legendary, had that much solo and direct combat power.

But that's just... talking about who (...) belongs.

Now all three Demon King transfer dungeons within Legendary are attacked (...).

It was those who did not belong to Legendary while in Legendary.

- were the nominees (...) within the Legendary.

All three newly born [Demon Kings] were already major criminals in the nomination process.

I didn't show it to you.

It just happened as a result of their attack on each of them.

Legendary is the country with the most early players and at the same time the most < master > nomination arrangers.

The more < super > the nominations were arranged than they belonged to the country.

That's the only thing left for the three of us to turn into [demon kings].

In any case, the dungeon, which had thus long failed to emerge of the dominant, was attacked.

[Demon King] 's throne was hunted down by monsters nesting in Legendary.

They showed no interest other than their own territory (...) and hobbies (...).

He set himself up in an area within Legendary where he could easily spend time, obeying the tribes who lived there, and reigning as king.

In his own territory, he preys on occasional strays, Tians, and Monsters.

It was more animal like a demon than [demon king].

Alternatively, it is as artificial as the manigold of Cardina.

Separately [Demon King], they have no quarrel or cooperation.

The three [Demon Kings], along with other nomination arrangements besides them, had made an early commitment of no war.

An alliance (cartel) that rules only for mutual non-interference, not a clan that gathers for one purpose.

Don't get your hands on the other person's territory, otherwise expand the territory you want.

The Dark Faction game, set in Legendary.

And born is the Alliance of Sinners called.

The Great Sinners have a pact in place, and no other Master can defeat them. The way the country is called a tribal union and the environment that is too different for each region of Legendary was making it difficult for them and the tribal crusades that follow them.

And because there is no interest outside the Legendary, no one was ever alone when I was once solicited by La Crima.

There are monsters comparable to < IF > in the secret of Legendary.

Is it ironic to say that it is the most real (...) remote country, but therefore the darkest has deepened?

As a result, it takes the form of having more than one rebellious small state, apart from a nation that tops [the fairy queen] within its national territory, in the midst of confusion.

It is rumored that the assassination of the Prime Minister earlier was also a case related to this.

Only salvation is that, in this chaotic state of affairs, large cities with savepoints have not been dropped by sinners, including the [Demon King].

If that were to happen, the mess of Legendary would accelerate into the mess of the world.

Sooner or later, it might happen somewhere in the world.

Such is the current state of Legendary, but the escape of the Zexes has also affected this.

No, should I say that I have caused...

Certain [demon kings] have a territory only at the northern end of Legendary.

That was extremely close to the buffer zone once made into Negijo by [Sphinx Board].

However, this [Demon King] was not harmless in [Demon King] by jumping through (...).

Though he had bedded and left his clothing and accommodation to the skills of the territorial tribes and himself...... nothing else in particular.

It will not expand its territory, nor will it invade the outside world.

Rather, it is also admired by the tribe because it uses its skills as [Demon King] and also carries out vigilante activities to eliminate monsters from the outside.

The indictment arranged for the nomination itself is also like a half-accident, lighter than the other [demon kings] and almost abandoned from Legendary. You'll be out of jail in less than three years.

He was the only [demon king] and sinners greedy for his own desires, satisfied with the status quo.

This [Demon King] dream is a very cautious one.

I want to sleep leisurely and self-depraved in < Infinite Dendrogram > three times the time.

It's just that all the dreams have already come true, so there's no reason to infringe on others for their own desires, like any other sinner.

I just wish I could sleep slowly and safely.

But that was the cause of the problem at this time.

The place where Zex and the others escaped is the southernmost part of the kingdom.

Facing the northern end of Legendary, close to the [Demon King] 's territory, but just a little off.

Therefore, usually the [Demon King] doesn't care about what happened there either.

Indifferent to hunting there. It's inconsiderate that the streets are covered.

But not this time.

At the end of his eyes and nose, all three of them appeared.

Well, < Super Embrio > 's attack skills - after a long time of releasing Fall Down Screamer.

If I say so, it's like 'swinging the drill at high volume in front of the front door, allowance for stone and wood or gradually galloping shredded'.

It's noisy, dangerous, and irritating.

You can't ignore it, you can't sleep.

Therefore, for this [Demon King] … for beings who just want to sleep peacefully, there is nothing more than an act of intimidation that is difficult to pass up.

That's why [Demon King] bought a fight (...).

Legendary Appointment Arrangement - Sinner Alliance One, "Sleeping Greed (Sleep)".

[Lazy Demon King (Lord Akedia)] ZZZ (Zuzy Zee Zoe) certified them as enemies.

I got involved not only with the three Zekes, but even Ray, who is near them... I don't mind.

Whoever it is, whether it's three or four... has nothing to do with it.

Because there is no single defeat, he reigns in the territory, not in "prison”.

- kill collectively (...), and the most moderate [Demon King] decided.

◇ ◇ ◇

□ [Spellman] Ray Sterling

The thing that emerged in large numbers from the direction of Legendary is a familiar silver gloss...... an unrecognizable anomaly.

They looked awkward than a child's clay workmanship.

A mass of clay. "This is the torso. Hands, feet and head. Finished" and the monsters like they just stuck together properly.

I can't even see the minimum design like Franklin's modified monster.

However, the intimidation conveyed by the monsters below their clay work is enormous.

At least I feel more powerful than subdragons. Isn't it close to pure dragons, too?

The forcibly winged flying and gorilla-like land type, combined with 50, is superior.

The number is less than a hundredth of Franklin's “Suicide” series, but it's a dangerous deal if you still have the fighting power to remain under the pressure you feel.

"... but this is"

Or maybe that's all we could still figure out.

The oddest thing in the sight in front of you would be that all those monsters wrap around an aura of jade insect color (...).

Apart from the intimidation I feel about the monster itself...... I feel more signs than that.

"... of the territory series? Or is that an advance you hear rumors about?

"Could be..."

To the words of Nemesis, snort.

That aura could be.

And there's no line called Legion.

That overhead has a firm name.

- [Slal], and.

…………

Monsters with one name: [Slal], even though they are in different shapes.

One of these days, a dozen bodies with wings are coming at me.

The remaining 40 bodies were pushing toward the women under their eyes.

"... hey, it's so creepy... is this Legion's?

"No, it would be a product of job skills. Perhaps of any [Demon King (Lord)]."

"Affirmation, [Lazy Demon King] 's" Service Race (Slal) "

I can hear them talking, too, because they've lowered altitude.

But [Demon King]?

I've heard the name [Angry Demon King] from Azrite before... why would a guy like that attack me or them?

"Did you still know, Aprile? Rambling Treewalk

Activate the skill while piercing the sword in the hand of the woman who had previously been treating her into the ground.

Shortly afterwards, several trees grow from the ground, and they move their roots like feet towards the monsters.

"I can go with this...?

"No, I'm just buying time. Because this skill is weak enough to use ground nutrition (resources). It's quite user-friendly as an instant summons."

If you look, the trees are crushed by the monsters.

After all, those monsters have a pretty good fighting power.

And the winged monsters are approaching me.

"Ah! Purgatory Fire."

I could have expected to lose power in melee battles, so I use Silver's mobility to respond with Purgatory Fire from medium range.

But we can't shoot downwards because we're concerned about igniting the mountain forest.

Also, I can't use Hell's Chi any more than I have them.

... I don't even know if it works on that clay workmanship in the first place.

"Aprile, explain now"

She encouraged women in service clothes to explain while generating additional tree monsters.

'I understand. [Lazy Demon King] 's basic skill "Serving Race" is the skill to monster Animals "

The conversation you hear from down there, I hear it too.

I know it sounds familiar to me, but maybe Silver is trying to distract me from hearing it. It didn't say in the skill description, but if you can control the air to some extent, that seems like something you can do.

I've used unprincipled skills before, and there were many mysteries in talking to Integra.

'Monsters to be created, the performance of [slurs] depends on the material and the SP used. That material is presumed to be a misrill. Fighting power, I thought it was medium.'

Mithril,...... I see. I remember that silver glow.

Liz that Luke is taking is [Mithrill Arms Slime]. I guess it was close as a material.

It's unlikely to deform as freely as Liz, but it seems to prevail in its strength and power in that form.

"What are the other characteristics?

'[Slal] only obeys [Lazy Demon King] and cannot be transferred to others. Instead, we don't oppress party frames or capacity either'

"... Huh? Not bad?"

'As a price, [Lazy Demon King] status is the weakest of the [Demon King] series, except for HP and SP. In addition, [Lazy Demon King] 's own flesh cannot take combat action. Rely on the created [slur] to acquire the resources necessary for your survival. So I thought it was closer to saying limb (...) than subordination'

"... [Demon King] What an upbeat job, but you look like a caregiver"

Information about Job called [Lazy Demon King] and her knowing it. I can only be surprised by both.

On closer inspection, the woman in service clothes, known as Aprile, had spherical joints.

Or maybe he's not human.

…………

"... owner, what are you thinking"

"Inability to act in combat, [sacrifice (...)]. Transformation into a monster without life. It's like..."

Apparently, the woman who was called the owner thinks about what Aprile said.

But also in the meantime, the [slur] on the ground is smashing down a herd of trees and packing the distance.

The same goes for the upcoming winged [slur] here.

These guys don't pay attention to their damage if they're seared in flames. I am not trying to protect my life because I was originally lifeless.

Melting my body in Purgatory Fire, but trying to hit me with my remaining body.

I didn't even see the minimum fighting skills there, and it just seemed like I was only thinking about bumping that body.

"How troublesome is he for GOD, such as mineral-derived anomalies?... In the meantime, I'm gonna sprinkle a bunch of guys who break it down missly Zo" "

"... weapons stores around the world are making something that's going to cry, you"

That's what a woman who can't see her face from my position says, wielding her apparently transparent giant blunt instrument.

Something seems to be sprayed from the blunt instrument along with the sound of air erupting.

Just in case, instruct Silver not to reach this way to retighten the barrier by Wind Hood.

But......

"... it won't melt, will it?

"There is?

[Slal] on the ground wasn't affected by any attack of disassembling Mithril... as if it were.

"Is the material structure changing or hasn't it arrived in the first place? If it was number two, that sparkling aura would be suspicious, sir!

"Aprile. What's that?

"No data. Nothing has that effect on [Lazy Demon King] 's skills'

If that wasn't [Lazy Demon King] 's skill, I figured...... Embrio?

"You mean to strengthen the distribution...? [Demon King] What a genuine combo you're going to decide..."

That said, a woman with a bowgun attacks [Slal].

But the attack is not thorough because of the opponent's strength.

"... I knew it wasn't offensive enough. You don't have good memories for Mithril...... I mean this, only the owner and april can fight decently...?

"What about pushing it against the upper wal, sir?

"... not a good idea?

I'm about to be pushed...

And I'm a walnut. I don't know why, but there's some weird discomfort in telling them that.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Ray Sterling."

"Huh?"

Unexpectedly, a woman called the owner spoke to me, too.

No wonder you know my name.

Because my name is too good for me right now.

But why?

I felt that being known by this woman by her name was completely different from those.

"Pay attention... Perhaps fate will come."

That said, she pointed in the south direction.

[Slal] From the direction they came as a herd... now only one shadow was slowly approaching.

"That's..."

That was only in the name of [slur] overhead, but it was as if it were different from the [slur] that had appeared before.

First of all, the shape is different.

Unlike previous [slurs], which appropriately combined clumps of clay, their [slurs] were in shape.

A bipedal ground dragon, would be close. Is it characterized by a corner at the tip of the nose, arms, and tail as a sword?

At least this moulding puts a lot of effort on other individuals that they didn't put on.

And the colors are different.

It is the same that wraps around the aura of the jade bug colour, but [Slal] 's own colour was scarlet.

I once saw the same color in a carcellatan.

Dr. Mario used it, a scarlet doll.

Tom told me about the material in the array......

"... [Mythical Metal (Hiirokane)]!

In the current < Infinite Dendrogram >, the highest production material except for the privileged material.

According to earlier Aprile stories, [Slal] 's fighting power depends on the material and the SP used.

Materials are the finest, and if you look at the shaping, you can see that there are far more SPs to use.

Definitely, I guess this is the ace of [Lazy Demon King] and doing it.

It seems superior in power to [Geeganite] of the [Demon General] who once fought.

... but why are you putting so much effort into me and them?

I don't suppose that's the deal with some white coat, is it?

If they're after us, not me, Aprile... is it because of her presence who knows more about [Lazy Demon King]?

…………

Thinking without understanding the thoughts of the [Lazy Demon King] that I had sent over the Scarlet [Slal], the Scarlet [Slal] also looked around at them and me in turn.

And......

"..................... GI"

The scarlet [slur] skewered the unity of Mithril's [slur] with its sword arm.

"Huh?"

Fighting each other?

Why all of a sudden,...!

- Get away from me.

"- Get away from me!

Me and the woman they called the owner had a voice at the same time.

But sooner than that voice arrives, the change is happening.

Scarlet [Slal] sword arms shine more like molten metal than scarlet......

Immediately after, the [thral] of the misrill that was skewered boiled (...) - I could play (...).

After an enormous amount of heat, it evaporated from the inside... and exploded.

……⁉

A misrill wrapped around an aura of maggots splashes in all directions like a fragment of a grenade.

We issued a warning, and they got a warning just in time.

Jump back and shelter your face and other steeples with your arms.

"Huh!"

Calories will burn you, but if you take the distance, the power of the explosion itself will diminish.

Neither can an explosion attack in exchange for a whole bunch of subordinates be fatal.

- It should have been.

"... Huh?

A fragment of Mithril broke the protection of Windhoe and touched my arm, which sheltered my face.

As soon as that happens... my consciousness fades rapidly.

"This, is..."

Fluffy and unstable head. I don't even know what my vision is.

Still, if you look at the status... there was a certain state anomaly about to appear there.

- [Forced sleep],.

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

I don't even have to think about what caused it......

From the beginning, I guess that was the purpose.

That's the only purpose [slur] without any shards of combat technology, just to storm.

You just have to touch it.

If we touched that maggot-colored aura... that would be great.

That aura forces those who touch to sleep.

Touch it, and you'll get keri.

If you let him sleep, simmer or bake, over the palms of [Lazy Demon King].

"Hey, Shishi..."

'Oh, let's...!

In a vanishing consciousness, take down [a soothing all-purpose psychic].

Then instruct the nemesis to deform to the second form.

She also seems to be losing consciousness... but the deformity to the second form still came true.

But... I can't stop.

To sleep, falling.

A condition abnormality that once distracted [Gardranda] but did not pass through and cannot be reversed even in the second form.

What that means......

"< Supe, Rio..."

My consciousness falls into darkness with the answer that they are super.

Under his eyes, the three men, except the woman in the service clothes... were lying down.

At the last moment my consciousness disappeared, I heard an unfamiliar voice from somewhere.

- Welcome to [Dreamlands],.

To be continued
