＜Infinite Dendrogram＞

□ [Holy Knight] Ray Sterling

The scorpion of the machine disappears in front of me.

With the Despecialty of the [Stream Princess] you were manipulating, the special equipment of the aircraft also disappeared, and then several random drop mechanical parts of [Stream Princess] fell.

From above, the sun disappears, surrounded by darkness.

Those changes... were telling the end of the battle.

"It's over..."

After this morning's battle, it was a mess......

Use all health left in your current defense to kneel down.

Igoronac Battle, Trial Rush in Dreams, and Waking Up to This.

... it's been like hell since day one.

"But thank you.... thank you, Nemesis.And welcome back. "

Hmm! Not yet!

Senpai has heard that Nemesis went out with Luke and the others in pursuit of Igoronak.

I was relieved because I knew that Nemesis was alive, but I also thought it would be 'reckless'.... not even my stepsister.

Let's talk about Luke after we leave here.Are you sure you're okay with that?Your whole body is scratching, right?

"... I don't feel pain, but I have a strange feeling all over my body."

I really feel like a roast beef.

... I think they'll eat me if I put out a chivigar.

Do you have 10% of your current HP?If it hadn't been for the Black Shield (Nemesis), it would certainly have been dead.

Also, the resistance of VDA also acted.

I was able to help him with the axe trial.If you continue to face that challenge, consider getting a full set of high-quality production equipment to replace your Perk Armor.

... but I still need weapons other than nemesis and axes.

"... did you not think of cheating on me just now, my lord?

"... are you cheating on me?

When you're doing that kind of interaction,

"So, are you okay!?

I heard someone rushing in.

I twisted my body and tried to turn around, but it didn't work.

Again, the charge particle cannon seems to be doing a lot of damage.

"It's potion!

Without turning around, the approaching person is given a HP recovery potion.

I finally moved my body, so if you look back, it's the AETL coalition support job I saw.I had a light so I could check my face.

"Ah, thank you. Thank you very much."

"I'm sorry, I'm out of MP, so I'm just using the item right now... ah, this is a pill."

Then I drank the potion offered and listened.

Anything, it seems that there are six of them who survive the Master.

All of them are back guards and support positions.... it seems that the avant-garde was wiped out in battle with that scorpion.

However, all the survivors are running out of MP.

That [Stream Princess] 's wide-area MP drain seems to have a huge impact.

Looking at the Party's Simple Status Window, Senpai's MP recovered under the effect of Shooting Iron Armor is not much left now.... ah.

"Senpai...."

"Yes, I'm fine, too."

When I searched for a senpai who had not been seen since I was caught by a scorpion, I received an immediate reply.

Senpai is approaching us with a light, and she looks fine without any trauma in particular.

"Of course, I'm safe, too.Ray Sterling. "

"... I knew it"

Me and Senpai, the six survivors of the kingdom gathered together, and from the sky... the [King of Light] who rides a monster like a fish also descended.

Zodiac floats around, each illuminating its surroundings as a light.

The fish disappeared, and [King of Light] also went down to the ground.

…………

Raise the black shield while paying attention to the position of the zodiac around you.

"You don't have to be so open-minded, do you?

That's what you say when you look back on what you did.

This is a similar type to Franklin, and we don't choose the means to do it.

On top of that, it's a type of situation that scratches around with interest and curiosity.

Even though you have moved on our side this time, there is no guarantee that you will continue to do so from now on.

"Don't worry, my stock is running out.You know that, right? I'm just like you and I'm the type that stockpiles and fights in advance.In the first place, I have no intention of hostility. "

…………

I felt like I didn't want to lie.

But I can't spare any more than the [King of Light], so if I get stabbed in the back, I'll go first... be careful.

"Well, thanks to you for breaking through that barrier, I was able to defeat Juba."

"You charged it."

"Yes. I was hoping to break through the barrier and serve as a sort of siege weapon.No, should I call it a laser weapon? "

"Oh, my God."

"Nothing.Now, that's the problem that remains... "

That said, the [King of Light] pointed to a space that was still wrapped in darkness even when it was illuminated by lights.

It was the corner of the Imperial Splendida.

"[Stream Princess] Defeating Juba will not free you from this space.Then we need to kill Splendida, who is still alive, somehow, or we need to choose three survivors. "

"Does that make sense?

Even if Splendida is defeated or not unleashed, we should try to destroy it first.

And if we don't let it go... we'll have to choose the latter.

"But Splendida retains life by blocking the light, the source of recovery.I have no idea how to defeat this with just the surviving faces. "

"Where's Beasley?

"... I also heard the characteristics of the other survivors, but there was nothing Splendida could do about it."

"Really...."

is compatible with.

Me and Senpai, [Light King].And the six survivors.

Even if there were nine of them, there was no < Embryo > that went well with Splendida.

No, maybe the Zodiac of the [King of Light] is compatible with just being sealed up.

"It's just... some people aren't here, some people seem to be."



"We'll talk about that later.It's not a way to use it right now. "

Well, [Light King] and senpai don't seem to have guessed, but when it comes to me...

It's the use of an axe.

You've gained 1% control and have a 1% chance to unleash the Attack of your desired Power and Attribute.Alternatively, some attributes may have attacks that disable Splendida's Regeneration Power.

But there's a 99% chance of me dying from a recoil.

If I fell here, it would be a story of what this battle was.

So in the end, I don't have a fight either.

"... let's just cut off the light and hurt it.Compress with gravity..... "

Senpai started saying scary things, but for the time being, I asked [the King of Light] what to ask.

"Hey, Splendida has the same [dead soldier] as me, right?

"That should be it.It's been more than ten minutes since we took the lethal damage. "

"I see....."

If you don't heal for that long, [Dead Soldier] dies.

But I remember a lot.

I saw in the “tournament” the other day that people who were supposed to die would not die.

That's Mr. Alberto. As a kind of bluff, the core of HP1 was actually separated from the main unit.

Or Splendida thought it wasn't that pattern...

"Oh, it's unlikely that we have a separate core.Splendida used to fight the King of the Beasts in this space, so if there's another core like the King of Doom, he should be caught in the attack. "

Denied by the [King of Light], who explained my thoughts as he read them.

[King of Beasts] 's [Super Embryo] is a 100-meter class big monster.

This space is a hemisphere with a radius of 200 meters... and it will be easy to run around, fly around and ravage it.

"I also had time to explore the entire space.No core found. "

"Really....."

Then how does he avoid death...?

No matter how much it hurts, any light heals, disappears without trace, and returns to life with zero HP.I will not die past the deadline of Last Command.I don't even have a core.

That's all I can say about immortality.

Such an opponent...

…………

No, we still have something to catch.

After all, it feels like it's already visible.But not Mr. Alberto.

Something like that somewhere...



It was when I tried to put together a fresh idea.

Suddenly, our bodies were shaking.

It reminded me of an earthquake, but not the ground... even the air in the space seemed to be shaking.

Yes, all of a sudden, this space itself is shaking big... we are...

◇

We were in the cathedral.

I've been to the church cathedral in King's Landing several times.

We were all back at the intersection where Splendida activated the junction and trapped the surrounding Master.



Watch out for the Zodiac surrounded Splendida, but you're still in the dark.

I knew what he did... but he didn't.

... by the way, there was no suspicious movement in [King of Light].He is deliberately pointing to the darkness and nods as if surveillance is fine.

Why was it suddenly deactivated...?

"Mr. Ray?

When I'm in doubt, I get a strange voice.

Looking at the voice, Luke looked at me with an unusual and very surprising expression.

"Oh, Luke.... you know, right now?

I laugh ambiguously and raise my hand lightly without knowing why I came back to where I was.

"Yes, I'm here, too."

Luke told me about his return from the expedition.

Sub-owner to owner.

Everyone else seemed relieved to be reunited with their friends.

I feel the tight air relaxed by returning to the familiar landscape.

"I've been listening to you.Suddenly dozens of Masters have disappeared... and only ten of them are back here?

"Oh, there was a fight over there.I fought the listed Super Splendida and [Stream Princess] Juba.[Stream Princess] was defeated, but everyone else became Despennah... eh?

- Ten?

"Hmm!?

I see the Masters... who have returned from quarantine space together.

- There he is.

It was a face I didn't know.

None of the nine people who were there just before.

It's not even the face I saw in the documents.

But that color had an unpleasant smile on it.

At the same time, one of senpai's explanations in that space comes to mind.

--Made to order for disguise.

……

aggressively triggers the Signage on that person.

◇

Splendida

◇

It has a visualization of the name you expected.

◇

Occupation: [Venom King]

Level: 100 (total level: 500)

◇

--Even unexpected information will be exposed.

"Huh!?

The changed Splendida pointed at me with a smile on her face.

On the tip of Splendida's finger, there is an abnormal magical faint glow that I have seen many times.

"― Destiny

― ― I activated the magic with a creepy voice.
