[Poison of Snakesprint Stone].

One of the weapons secretly researched and developed by the remaining [Crystal Rhythmist] after the death of the third generation that produced the Brilliant Jade Insect series.

A simplified version of the Brilliant Jade Dragon using the Earth Dragon type power furnace...... even the Brilliant Jade Snake should be called an airplane.

Although it is an unmanned aerial vehicle, it is not included in the scope of the Brilliant Ball Beast, but the power of the Dragon Power Furnace is utilized by the Dragon King class. It was necessary to put extra force into this field.

Above all, the characteristics of this machine are suitable for Splendida.

It is resistant to corrosive poisons that corrode metals as well as biological poisons, and it can operate without any problems within the [Venom King] 's abilities.

In addition, the special abilities of this machine shine through cooperation with [Venom King] and the Wide Area Pollution Weapons 4.

That's why [Crystal] deposited this plane with Splendida.

It was also the watchdog that [Crystal] had attached to him.

Vvv

Hydra's jaws grew more and more pressurized by the strange driving sounds of bee feathers and exhaling underwater.

"Tsk!"

Eldridge's bones, with a strong skeleton, would not have broken, but otherwise they would have crushed the flesh and bones together by now.

Even though you're a snake, you don't swallow it whole.

"What are you talking about? Moon shadow!" It's folding! Oh, keep your eyes peeled for the upper (...)! "

The situation around them had changed to their disadvantage.

Eldridge is being held by Hydra, a Dragon King class performance.

Moreover, Splendida's duplicates...... No, the Till Na Norgs, who cannot be called the earliest duplicates, are divided into 100 bodies.

The status visible in Discern does not appear to have been cut by Eldridge.

Now, it seems that only the duplicate of the fruit sitting in Hydra's belly was the subject of [Old Rain].

Still, we can deal with it.

Even though my current status was higher than that of [Venom King], if I was a super-skilled avant-garde, I could destroy it.

However, if all of them have regenerative abilities, they are a threat.

The Moon Shadow and Beasley are attacking the Doppelgänger, but they don't seem to work with regular attacks.

The Til Na Norgs regenerate and spread poison as soon as they are hurt.

I could even use Facial Mist .

Even if we were to help Eldridge to increase his maneuver, nearly forty of them would be stuck around Hydra, obstructing his rescue. It was also troublesome.

But at the same time, it was strange.

(...... are you wary of something?)

Beasley wonders as she responds to the growing Til Na Norg.

This is a ticket that Splendida would never have shown to others. There is no doubt that it is his true must-have pattern.

There is a flaw. Til Na Nog's movements are being blatantly simplified.

The number of attacks has increased, but the accuracy has dropped, and I can't evade them... no, I can't.

However, the volume and total status are not the same as before.

Yes, the 100 golems that are not reluctant to stop with their wounds are a team that clearly weighs in on the attack.

However, many of them are now hardened around Hydra...... around Eldridge.

Not to defeat Eldridge, but to keep Beasley and the others away from him.

(Because of his strength, I know it's hard to kill with a golem attack. If you suppress the movement and seal off the use of the [Healing Potion], you will also know that you will die of poison. But why are you trying to stop the rescue? Old Rain won't take any more stats. what is his vigilance.....)

― ― The light runs like it cuts off that thought.



Beasley turned away in response to a sign of something moving at the edge of her sight, but shortly thereafter she was amputated in her left wrist.

While holding the shield, a thin wrist dances through the air.

"Huh!?"

When Beasley looked at the cut surface, it was carbonized as if it had been burned out by heat.

If we look at the direction of the attack, we can see a large slashing mark on the ground, as well as both Till Na Norgs on the radiation line. Of course, Till Na Norg plays instantly.

At the origin of the rays - Til Na Norg had a white sword in his reverse hand.

From the right hand holding the sword, white smoke rose, and the rest of the area was burnt.

"Demon Blade (...)...!"

Beasley immediately determined that it was a type of weapon produced in heaven and earth.

Instead of imposing serious life-threatening disadvantages, the superior demon sword has a powerful effect comparable to that of a perk weapon.

Splendida used Til Na Norg to make the weapon of high risk high returns.

That's right. Beasley's eyes are right.

That was the demon sword [Death Firefly].

It is one of the 42 dyed demon swords of the heavens and the earth, and it is a gem that emits a slash of light at the speed of light and heat.

As a quid pro quo, I burn the entire body of the user every time I wave.

Once fascinated by a certain weapon, the swordsmith was launched from the beginning to produce it as a demon sword.

A demon sword that has claimed the lives of many enemies and owners in the history of the heavens and the earth.

Of course, there is no risk to Splendida wielded by Till Na Norg, who plays indefinitely.

Like Destiny , the no-risk use of high-risk attacks is the root of Splendida's attack.

…………

The carbonized right hand collapses and the demon sword is removed, but another Til Na Norg picks it up.

It was lost in 100 bodies, and I didn't know which was the individual who hid the demon sword.

He even extended the branches of many of Til Na Nog's arms, and made them look like they were hiding a demon sword.

Among the massively deployed Tiru Na Norg, there was one with a high firepower attack.

"Troublesome...!"

Eldridge can't use the Greater Old Rain anymore today.

If Beasley and the others are to win, we need to scratch Hydra's belly and get the fruit now.

However, the composition of the Splendida side is too thick.

Deploy a large number of lightweight units, suppress Eldridge with Hydra, a heavy unit, and relay the demonic sword to hit the target.

Horrible combo. Horrible unit configuration.

In Infinite Dendrogram, Splendida has never used this combo.

However, similar combos have been repeated many times in other games.

The world champion of the RTS game - his real Silvestro.

◇◆

As the Immortal Doppelgänger fights, so does Splendida, a cross-space creature.

A battle situation in which a VR headset and transformed branches are projected onto the retina.

By integrating the optical information acquired by a hundred Til Na Norgs, the main body can see the surrounding information in a bird 's-eye view map... Splendida can be seen as the play screen of the RTS.

On the map, Splendida moves the Til Na Norgs.

Your hands keep moving without stopping for a moment.

It's the easiest style for him to manipulate, the Fairy Wars hand technique.

Bring together 100 bodies in units of 5 to 10, attack according to the movement of the opponent, and use the demon sword by punching through the gap.

The moon shadow and beasley wrap their tongues around the light-speed slash that detects motion and avoids fatal injuries just before it releases light speed slashes from the flock, but does not stop their hands with surprise.

Keeps moving, keeps flowing, keeps scraping the opponent.

This is natural to him.

He didn't become the world champion with nothing but an advantage bug.

The combination of technology and bugs left everyone in the Hall of Fame without enemies.

Although he was hated by his opponents and sponsors due to the use of advantage bugs, he was also reputed for his overwhelming hand as "splendidida".

Drop "Infinite Dendrogram" into such a deepest form of play.

That's his special skill.

That said, it wasn't a powerful force that purely multiplied its combat power by a hundred times...

That's just a part of it (...).

It is divided into strains by the overexpression of regenerative power, but it is only one fruit, the unitary body.

Therefore, you can only use the equipment for one person (...). It was the bark and branches, not the equipment, that protected it, and that was one of the reasons why it relayed its weapon, the demon sword.

Otherwise, we would have prepared a high-risk weapon as much as the funds allowed.

I didn't use it at the same time, even if it was poisonous.

I switched the trigger point between my right and left hand.

Alternatively, you can select a unit in the RTS and then use the skill.

Hence, his terrifying skill in using weapons and skills amid those limitations.

He does not possess the same craftsmanship as Vito, but stands at the top of the world with different craftsmanship.

(Caution, Eldridge)

There's no need to worry about your stats being cut off, but [Usurper] is a dangerous opponent for your gear.

Hydra had a mechanism to prevent theft, but not the demon sword.

If touched, it will be destroyed by the Special Ability, or if it is not, it will be stolen if it is seen and used in the Greater Takeover.

Therefore, Hydra suppresses the movement, encloses it with a few percent of Til Na Norg, and operates it at an angle where the demonic sword does not enter his sight.

It is a good situation to say that it is fully sealed.

But Splendida is convinced.

Now, how do you plan to conquer it?

Relative challengers should take steps to break this predicament.

To show it - Eldridge was holding a magical item of communication in his hand sometime.

◇◆

"Hmm. I started using my superior demon sword." The composition of Faith Mist naturally eliminated the destruction of equipment.

The reason I tried to use [Fatal Mist] again was probably because I wanted to neutralize the poison of the Metal Degradation System before the operation of the demon sword.

[Facial Mist] does not inhibit among the ten species mixed at the same time, but it eats the poison when it is reused as usual.

Formerly Cardina's superjob, Eldridge was listed as normal in the job materials he read between jobs.

After reading the nature of the opponent's job and the changes in the environment caused by the tactics, Eldridge pulls out the radio.

"Niala (...)"

Eldridge, pushed to the ground by Hydra, calls the name of one of the masters.

It's one of his clan members.

No matter how much he fell, the name of the one wing that remained together.

And now that I'm here, I can trust my people.

"Don't mind me." Drop it (...) "

Yes, sir.

After a short exchange through the communication device, I heard the hatch opening from the communication device.

At the same time, Nialla stands at the rear of the airplane - "Cargo Pelican" and points her seal at the open sky.

"-" Genocide Condor "

― ― Along with the declaration, the steel wings flew from Nialla's sigil.

It was a bomber mimicking a condor.

The [Genocide Condor] was Nialla's legionnaire's largest fighter in the [All Wings Siegmorg].

It now descends straight to the ground.

As if the condor itself were a bomb.

- No. The truth is, it's a bomb.

Condor identified Hydra as his target and struck her with a special attack in front of the enemy plane.

Hydra looked overhead at the sudden descent.

Condor crashed into Eldridge's head - causing a massive explosion.

Detonate all bullets named suicide bombers.

The series of violent explosions wipes out everything, and the damage increases around Hydra, the epicenter of the explosion.

A hundred Til Na Nogs were blown away, crushed and burned.

Beasley endures the explosion by using the AstroGuard and the Five Body Throwing Barrier together, and the Moonlight dives into the shadows of either.

And Eldridge, who was in the center of the damage...

"This is freedom."

─ ─ Even though she was burned all over her body, she was free from her jaw and stood satisfied with her five bodies.

Nialla is inside him.

Naturally, cooperation using the "Genocide Condor" is assembled, and we have prepared measures to minimize the damage to ourselves at that time.

In particular, the effect of explosion and heat-resistant equipment in a sound asset situation is significant.

Just before the explosion, I used Change Dress to switch to those gear, and then I managed to withstand the explosion by combining it with my own defense.

-v-v-

But Hydra didn't do the same with the same thing that existed in the epicenter.

To put it simply, it presented a scrap-like appearance.

The upper half of the head is ripped away by the explosive pressure, the tail is cut into a thousand pieces, and there are several holes in the torso, large and small.

No matter who looked at it, it was devastating.

(...... [White Rose] wasn't as tough as those two planes.)

Nialla, who was looking at it from above, thought that the strength of the three planes she encountered in the [Ertraum] battle was inferior to the planes that had withstood all of the Condor's detonations.

That view is correct.

Hydra's basic armor is not a sturdy substitute for ancient Epic or Mythic metals, but is made from all-purpose materials of earlier civilizations, such as the Brilliant Jade Horse, the Brilliant Jade Insect, and the Decisive Weapon III [Accra Vuster].

Defense falls slightly and is destroyed like this.

However, "being destroyed" and "being defeated" are not equals.

--Vvv



When Eldridge tried to extract the fruit from Hydra's abdomen, Hydra, which was supposed to have been destroyed, restarted.

The shattered armor regained its shape while it was still in sight.

But no.

The dark green armor changed to clear black and purple only in the damaged areas.

It looked like a tank filled with colored water, and it was obvious that the material of the armor was different from before.

"Is this... poisonous!"

Brilliant Jade Snake, [Poison of Snake Stones].

The airframe characteristics are "ability to operate in abnormal environments" for operation as an accompanying machine of No. 4.

It's not just about being highly resistant to poisons and contaminants.

When the aircraft is damaged, the surrounding poison (...) is reconstituted.

― ― VvvvVVVVvvv

The snake that had lost its armor to the explosion was now surrounded by Till Na Norg's [Fatal Mist]...... and the [Extreme Poison] in its abdomen.

The poisonous reconfiguration continues, forming a new snake's head, the attacking tentacle from the damaged location.

This is the [Poison of Serpentine Stone] --- [Poisonous Outfit].

It's like a poisonous snake (Hydra) that dies when touched.

"Not only the plant type, but also the mechanical type." It's troublesome...... If it's the opponent, it's the opponent now. "

Eldridge threw up his [Healing Potion].

It is not just the fruit that is to be obtained.

Even Hydra, who must be defeated to get it, will lose his life in contact.

But, as Eldridge says, that's all that matters now.

"Super" is irrational.

And they are not standing here without being prepared to challenge irrationally.

"There is no chance of winning a long-term battle on any path."... Beasley "

Therefore, Eldridge speaks out against the rogue edge of the struggle here.

"Die first (...)"

Seems like that's the only way.

Beasley nodded at the rumor-like words.

That's because she also imagined the strategy procedure that Eldridge would have thought of, and she also understood the meaning of the word "first".

"Vice Chairman. Escort (...)"

"I'll turn mine over to you, please."

I understand.

In short verbal exchanges, they make sense of their intentions.

They are not alone in the realm of... Super Embrio.

However, they were veterans who ran through the early days of Infinite Dendrogram.

Seriously, those who have faced this game (the world).

Therefore, they challenge the RTS with all the skills, knowledge and experience they have gained in Infinite.

─ ─ I'm going to open it.

― ― The final strike and defense began.

To be continued
