＜Infinite Dendrogram＞

North □■End City Winter Orb

The other < Master > had already returned to Laputa, but Xuanyu, who was responsible for receiving the pearls, was still in the Winter Orb.

We're headed to the city clinic, led by the informant's guards.

(But it's more complicated than it looks from above.)

Winter orbs are rich in stone as a by-product of rare ore mining, and many buildings are made of stone.

It is said to be a city that is easy to get lost in when you are unfamiliar with it because it is made so high and it blocks your vision.

However, if I stretched my limbs and moved fast, I could quickly reach my destination.

But now I was walking normally as I was guided. Anyway, Gideon and the King's City, if you do it in a city that is not used to the feathers, chaos will break out. The city is filled with air.

Now, the length of the limbs is more modest than usual. TPO can be understood quickly.

That's the clinic that keeps the pearls.

Heehee.

The guide pointed to a facility that was signposted "First Clinic".

The glass door at the entrance says, "This afternoon, the day off. If you are an emergency, there is a poster that says' to the second clinic '. It seems that he also paid for the delivery and receipt of the pearls.

(Well, there's going to be a backlash against handing over our medical equipment to another country.)

Winter Orbs are about to let go of such a convenient bead.

But at least the mayor and the informant seem to agree.

(Could it be that you have information that these beads are being targeted?)

I will return it to the Yellow River, not because of future concerns, but because it has become an imminent risk. I began to suspect that it was such a story.

In fact, the presence of Hugo Receps is one of the reasons for the mayor's decision.

"I'm paying for it, but is it an inpatient?"

"I wasn't originally in the first clinic. The injury will heal soon after treatment with beads. In case of illness, go to the second clinic."

"I see....... Ann?"

While exchanging such conversations, Xuwei tried to approach the clinic...... and noticed the discomfort.

"... oh?"

There was also a sign that a guide was coming next door.

However, it was also directed at the clinic, not at Suwa.

According to Mayor Rogue, the clinic was heavily guarded.

"But..."

"- Why is there no security on the front?"

- There are no guards around the clinic.

From what the guide said, I also understood that it was unusual.

"Before that..."

(Isn't there... somebody inside?)

The clinic isn't just for the guards. It is a fitting place to have medical staff such as doctors.

Those are people who have no reason to hide their signs... but they don't feel anything in the clinic.

Sukehane's intuition sounded an alarm at this point.

"... ha"

Rapid Feather Palace?

Xuanyu returns her limbs to the length of the battle form and excites the Talisman inside her sleeve.

This place was already a battlefield for Xuanyu.

Then I stretched my arm - about ten meters - and opened the door of the clinic.

His arms are stretched out to see the type of traps that activate when he opens the door and the enemy's reaction to an ambush, but nothing happens.

If this was a mistake made by Quick Feather, it would seem like a strange sight.

However, Xuanyu suspected that there was no such thing.

While returning the length of his arm, Kusuwa entered the clinic herself.

Because it was a glass door, it could be seen from the outside near the entrance.

So... there was a sole in the blind spot from the outside.

…………

Xuanyu remained silent, but pulled her eyebrows behind the [Symbol] that covered her face.

Although it was Kusuwa who had a mental strength that was separate from her age, she felt a strong discomfort and a little bit of wariness towards what was there.

"Hsun Yu! What the hell are you doing?!"

The informant, who entered the clinic late in the day, distorted his expression.

But that wasn't impossible either.

It was a pile of corpses.

It's literally a pile of corpses.

The bodies of the guards, doctors, and nurses overlap so that they are invisible from the entrance.

Everyone seemed to have his throat torn with a sharp knife.

A terrible tragedy. In a duel or a face-to-face battle, even though the opponent's brutal corpse is a familiar Kubu, Tian's sight is frustrating.

But there's something strange about this pile of corpses more than a visual problem.

(It smells of blood...)

The corpse bleeds heavily out of the wound, accumulating blood on the floor of the clinic... creating what is no longer even a pool of blood.

There is no smell even though it is.

There is no smell of blood, no smell of corpses, no smell of contents leaking from the relaxed body.

They are perfectly odorless even though by default they exhibit perfect reality except for painful sensations that are turned off. Otherwise, someone might have noticed this anomaly because of the smell that leaked out before Hayato and the others visited.

(I wonder if it was an attack on a pearl... when did you do it?)

Even though it was the Rock Quick Feather, there was no technique that could tell the time of the crime by looking at the corpse.

Still, there is something to be seen from the information that we have already obtained.

(To see the clothes... only the corpses of the people here and the guards. No Patient)

In that case, the official calculation of the time of the crime is high from the afternoon when the man was paid.

It wasn't quite that long ago.

Have you already escaped? No, this city is currently being watched by Gray's men from above. Gray won't miss anybody running away with their pearls. Is it possible that Gray has a cover-up ability that he doesn't even notice, or... is he still here (......)?)

"No way... the chairman is already in my hands...!"

(Speaker?)

In the middle of his thoughts, Xuanyu's ear picked up the leaked words of the guide.

However, before Suwa mentioned it, the guide held the communication device on his waist and called out.

"This is the first clinic...!"

There was an attack at the First Clinic.

Considering the location, it should be seen as a crime aimed at pearls, and the worst is that < UBM > is going crazy in this city.

Communication for security or evacuation is mandatory.

Xuanya might still be here. She was watching her surroundings to protect him from the criminal. If anyone approaches or attacks, I will immediately intercept them.

…………



However, the conductor, who was protected by Kuba's back, was silent as soon as he started calling the radio.

I looked around to see if I could see anything, but there was nothing.

Oi...

Then, Xuanyu turned around to be the guide.

He stood dumbfounded with the radio in his hand.

There is no speech from his mouth, and his eyes are empty.

And shortly after that,

― ― The guide's neck fell gently.

Blood gushed out like a fountain from the cross section of his neck, swaying the smell of iron and death.



Sudden beheading.

There was no sign of anything moving around, not even the air.

It wasn't a very fast slash like cashmere. There was really no sign of anything.

The possibility of doing something like that is a secret specialization that is not sensible, like the one where Shu and Luke once fought in Gideon.

Or ― ― it's a technique that Suwa herself knows very well (……).

Embrio, Job Skill, Perk Armor.

In response to the unknown but deserving maximum vigilance, Hayabusa starts supersonic movement indoors while stretching and retracting her limbs.

To prevent the target from being targeted (......).

(Surprise, but why did you aim for a guide instead of me? Didn't you see it?)

If it had been used by Kubu Hane himself, it would have damaged the [Brooch].

There are several possible reasons for not doing so.

First, it is possible that the other party has identified the target with a sound.

After entering this clinic, only the guide was speaking out, and Suwa was silent.

Therefore, the pattern is that the targetting was not possible.

Next, it is possible that the skill was a non-selectable type of skill.

If it strengthens the effect instead of removing the control ability, there is a possible pattern that hits the guide first rather than the super-kuba.

Or conversely, a skill with a limited number of targets... a skill that can only be attacked by Tian.

"And the worst possibility for Xuanyu..."

(Dare (...), the pattern of not aiming at me first hand...)

Knowing that it was "super", Kubu did not prioritize elimination, even though he understood that it was a battle force that could not be compared to the guards.

From there you can see the opponent's pride, some kind of plot,... or both.

"Shit."

While tonguing, Xuanyu sets up a [symbol] with a pattern.

It is the magical catalyst of the spatial search and was used to discover the Zetas in the Battle of the Royal Capital. Whether it's a sign or a disappearance, if it exists, you can grasp its position.

Xuwa activates magic inside this clinic to grasp it.

The door that looks out on the hallway that leads to this entrance.

Someone stands in the back room.

Without running away.

…………

We know you're there, but we can't make a sinister attack.

Because this clinic has pearls.

Have they already been taken, or are they stored in a room far away from each other?

"Neither, we can attack every room like this" is a hopeful observation. If I imitated it in a strange way, it would lead to the liberation of < UBM >.

Therefore, you can choose to step into the room or stretch out your hand and attack.

Or...

"--- [Tenaga]/(n, adj-no) (sl) trampled foot (Ashinaga)/trampled foot (Ashinaga)/"

- I cut the trump card with my first hand (......).

Tenaga Asinaga's Special Ability.

A direct attack into the enemy's body by a leap in space.

The spatial search had already captured the coordinates, and the opponent who was waiting for Kuba was not even moving.

Therefore, this blow was sure to cut the enemy's heart a thousand times - (...).



However --- there is no feeling transmitted by the left prosthetic hand through the hole in the space.

Obviously, it was an empty gesture (...). I should have gotten the exact coordinates and attacked, but we've been evaded.

As a result, Su-yu was slightly stunned.

In that gap --- an impact was applied from the side to the prosthetic arm that transcended space.

"Huh!?"

Xuanyu pulled her prosthetic arm back.

The golden prosthesis... had dropped two nails (...).

"... hey, hey, cum"

For Sukehane, the appearance was more surprising than an empty gesture.

Because Tenaga Ashinaga was. Its strength is attached to origami.

Even that Figaro could not have been slaughtered without a double enhancement, proportional to the duration of the battle and inversely proportional to the number of gears.

I made it easy, and I dodged the spatial transcendence attack.

At this point, Suwa determined that the opponent was in the < Super (...) > class (...).

…………

While continuing to move so as not to be targeted, Xuanyu scattered Symbol throughout the clinic.

With a versatile battle style, Kuma's Special Ability was evaded and her weapon claws were broken.

Then attack with magic instead of physical attack.

In the worst case scenario, burn hostiles for each clinic that no longer has survivors.

In view of the danger level of the adversary, I am willing to break even the beads.

Even if the < UBM > were to be unlocked, it would be better than this enemy. At the very least, a decent creature would be able to kill him with his Xuanyu's Special Ability.... unlike this adversary.

Xuwei unfolded the Talisman and a mysterious adversary.

A strange confrontation between the hallway and the door.

It was the adversary who broke the equilibrium.



The back door opens so that nothing happens.

They don't destroy doors, they don't run down corridors, they don't close the distance.

Naturally, the door slowly opens, and those who were inside walk out.

…………

The person was dressed in an irresistible outfit for this world.

The figure looks like a man, but his whole body is covered with clothes and gloves so that he can't see his scalp.

In his right hand was a dagger with a distorted red blade...... He held the Karambit knife in his reverse hand, while in his left hand he grabbed the bead of the Baoyu Beast he had seen several times.

And the color was hidden on the monster's face like a lion.

Not a realistic lion, but a strange and intimidating mask imitating the holy beast Baron of Indonesia. Furthermore, it is covered and concealed by the white hair stretched from the mask even the original hair.

It was an impossible aspect of this world, and even though I could not see the left hand's sigil, I convinced Xuanyu that the opponent was not Tian, but Xuanyu.

…………

An adversary who can only be described as an unidentified phantom...... tentatively named "Lion Face (Baron)".

The confrontation with the zombie feathers is like a costume tournament for Asian culture... but both are monstrous and powerful, just as they seem.

It was not surprising that one city collapsed in the aftermath of the collision.

…………

The appearing lion face remained silent and looked into the back of the mask......

Fufu

With a smile, he waved his right arm, shredded (...) the wall of the clinic directly beside him, and ran outside (...).

It was such a vivid escape that I wonder what was sitting with the killings in the clinic.

Once again, it was as if the purpose of the movement was to show up at Kubu and escape from (......).

"...... Shit!"

The lion side that slaughtered the guard and the doctor, including the guide, and fled with the beads to see it.

I also understood that it was a clear trap and an invitation.

However, since I escaped from the clinic where I was starting to develop a trap called magic, and I did not know the trump card's special skill, I had no choice but to "chase directly".

Hayabusa begins tracking the lion plane while communicating with Gray in an emergency.
