＜Infinite Dendrogram＞

□ [Saint Knight] Ray Sterling

Escape from Igoronac on Silver's back in a disturbed vision.

Silver without a shuffle of vision can lead us to the escape route to the upper level.

Keep going, first floor...... no, I'm going for the ground.

Igoronak probably can't even be sorted out to be the subject of a sight shuffle.

If we could sort it out, we wouldn't give our sight to anyone who was close enough to reach us.

If you're an indiscriminate shuffle, the ground involving Tian shouldn't be covered.

Even if we can distinguish Tian from us, it will be a death penalty if the attack harms Tian in a non-combat area.

Those who operate Igoronac should also abide by that rule, and if they escape to the ground, the pursuit will cease.

Even if it didn't stop, if the staircase is narrower than the aisle, it's easy to strike even if it's crushed vision.

"Nemesis, what was the damage from the shooting earlier?

'No problem. It will be fixed soon. So, what do we do after we get out on the ground?

"I'll manage to get in touch with Xia Da and have him come back to Wang Du"

In order to turn to counterattack, we have to find those who move Igoronak.

For that, we need her help.

"To Kasumi?

"Oh. Igoronak said he was a remotely operated < Embrio >. But there must be a limit to the distance you can move. In this Tomb Labyrinth, or in the vicinity of Wang Du? Somewhere."

"I see, Tykyokuz."

If your opponent is a Super Embrio, it's obvious with the Kasumi Tykyokus.

Even if, as seniors say, a group of non-super people are making it look like that, if you lice up a bunch of multiple people, you'll hit it someday.

"Then first, we have to survive."

"Oh."

Silver goes on and on bending down the aisle.

In the meantime, I also rely on an uncertain map of my brain to imagine my current location.

There was a lot of uncertainty along the way, but as I approached the stairs that I had been through a lot, I was able to grasp it.

Eventually, if you turn the next corner, the rest should be in a straight line to the stairs.

…………

But the silver plugged into the corner stops the leg.

It slowed down that speed, as if there was something forward.

"Silver?"

I'm confused by Silver's abrupt movements, but I don't know what the situation is with my vision being disrupted.

"... enemies?

…………

I feel signs that Silver shook his head to deny it.

Eventually Silver stopped...... I heard a tip, a tip and a hard noise coming from the front.

With the vibration it conveys, I can tell Silver is tapping a wall or something with his leg... a wall?

"Here... there must have been a staircase, right?

"If you are certain of your memory, of..."

With the heartbeat, I get out of silver.

With his own hands and feet to ascertain the situation, he ascertained it.

There it was - a huge obstacle handed out to block the way.

I can tell by the feel that it's more like throwing out a rock or a metal mass than a giant wall.

"The stairs to the ground floor... are blocked (...)?"

Those who remotely manipulated Igoronac to block the escape route?

...! If so...!

"Not good! Not like this...!

- A bag of rats, I mean.

I heard the same woman behind us the other day.

Defeated Mr. Patriot, stuffed the distance, caught up, Igoronak's voice.

I know even if I can't see it. I guess it stands in the middle of the road and blocks the escape route.

The escape time Mr. Patriot earned me by standing up is zero because he was being crushed on the escape path itself.

'Do you want to go downstairs or out on the ground? It was a choice, but I thought it was this way. In the first place, the route downstairs was blocked by Igor Ronak and the man's Grand Cross.

…………

As my voice speaks, I hold Silver's reins.

'Let's get this done. - Shoot him. "

I heard firearms running from Igoronak,

"Windshoe, open up!

I pour the magic of [Purple Grievance A] into silver and deploy the full compressed air barrier.

Due to several repetitions, the compression speed due to silver is also improved.

Neither visible nor audible, but the shotgun bullets released would have been diverted and scattered by the wall of air.

"Penetrate!"

As it is, give Silver further instructions.

Covering compressed air, Silver rushes to Igoronac without me on board.

It is drawn to the reins like a maize chase once did, but since then, it has not sustained any injuries caused by an extraordinarily improved defense and END.

Soon, there was a feeling that Silver had clashed into something,

"- Windshoe, disarm!

- Free compressed air at zero distance.

The total amount of air collected as a result of the labyrinth is small in itself and cannot be as powerful as [RSK] warfare.

But enough.

Just now, something small crashed into the wall and the water sounded like it could play.

I know what that audio source is.

Now his eyes are crushed, too.

"Huh! [Eye]!

"Show (...)! Silver!

I give further instructions to Silver against Igor Ronak, who is upset by the voice of a man.

Silver responded instantly, kicking hard metal with its feet - Igor Ronak.

"Nemesiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiss!"

"Answer!"

I instantly wield a nemesis deformed into a black sword,

"" - "Vengeance is on me"!

- I beat the damage from the previous shotgun with a double return.

――――

I hear metal smashing and huge objects falling into the floor...... I know I destroyed Igor Ronak.

"Silver! We're leaving like this!

Knock him down, he'll be back soon.

We have to move before that.

By the time he comes back to life and gets a visual again, give him a distance...

……

But Silver twisted himself forcefully when Silver plugged himself into a bend in a map drawn in his brain.

Before I understood the intent of the action - I felt a strong shock along with the sound of something smashing.

I hear gunshots late and Silver falls.

"Guh!"

"Ray!?

While falling horses and being thrown out, I store the silver injured by the attack (...) in the item box.

He then touches the wall, grasps that it is a bend, and leaps into its shadow with his hands and feet on all fours.

Shortly afterwards, another shooting noise sounded, as did the scraping rubbing sound of the walls.

…… State recovery too fast!

Regardless of the resilience of the body, the [Broadcast Eye] that is replacing the 'Eye' should have crushed it...!

"How the hell,......!

That's when I get a sound in my ear that's neither metal nor shooting.

It's the sound of a familiar creature.

…… Not yet!? "

Second one, [Broadcast Eye]!?

No way, Franklin's automated release device used to terrorize him is also planted in a power suit?

Or... the skill of repositioning monsters like Tykyokus?

Either way, no way so soon......!

'Ray, Silver is...!

"... from the corrupt sound I hear, I can't run for a while"

How much silver is damaged? I can't confirm it with my eyes. I don't know now, but from the sound I hear, I'm also breaking one of my worst legs.

I just have to hope it fits within the self-repairable range......

The problem is...... I was crushed in the leg for a move.

We have to deal with Igoronak, who would be coming this way from across the bend with no means of high-speed travel and his vision completely crushed.

"Horn on the rabbit, we should leave here immediately! I have to run to the wall and get some distance from him!

"Right......!

I try to stand up in response to Nemesis's voice,

... I collapsed without force on my left leg.

"... Huh?

"Ray......?

I reach for my left foot, which I felt shocked earlier.

- My left leg was heavily choosen with my thighs.

"Me, too, my legs...!

Apparently, the shooting was damaging not only to silver, but to myself.

I couldn't perceive it because my pain was off, and I couldn't even confirm my status. Now I wasn't aware of the damage.

Remove the potion by hand from the item box and also swallow it by swinging it near what appears to be the wound.

Now the [bleeding] stops, but I don't know how much it will take to recover the injury system condition abnormality.

At least, I'm not going to be able to walk properly.

I get up against the wall, but I don't think I can walk properly.

"Ray! Be and support me as a person......!

"Huh! Nemesis, it's a shield!

I scream aggressively at Nemesis's offer.

Nemesis does not question, but immediately switches from the Great Black Sword to the Black Circle Shield.

And shortly after he pointed his shield behind his back, a series of bullets slammed his shield like rain.

Countless bullet streaks - machine gun attacks by Igoronak.

An uninterrupted attack breaks my left leg.

"Huh!"

But I can still stand it!

"Your legs are crushed! Keep it up!!

The direction of the voice changes slightly.

Igoronak himself moves and changes his angle of shot.

Moving the shield was not complete just for hearing, and an unprotected bullet decided the flesh on his cheek and leg.

"Ray!?

The other person is also invisible. I can't even turn to attack.

But... I still have a hitter!

"Please...!

I'm on the back of the Black Circle Shield, putting up [armor].

In his switched vision, the monster did not appear to have been inhibited in vision.

A monster Gardranda, not a human, might be able to fight fully in this situation as well.

I'm ready to cut one of my trump cards in this fight...

"- Active"

"-" The Hands of Ignorance "!

"-" Princess (Gardranda) ", 60 seconds!

- Slightly uneven as a carousel, three voices wooden spirits in the aisle.

"Huh!"

Just before I activated my skills, I was suddenly touched by both hands.

Shake it off right away, but there's no phenomenon that should be there afterwards.

- Gardranda, who was supposed to have called, doesn't show up.

"Nah!?

Immediately thereafter, further abnormalities overlap.

My own left hand, [claw], moves alone - strangles me (...).

And I feel the heat burning my neck...

"Huh!"

I used "Instant Attachment" and forced ["Armor"] to disarm it from my equipment.

I can hear the bounced [armor] falling on the floor.

Because the equipment itself was disarmed, the fire never seemed to set off.

But...!

"What's that...!

"Are you telling me they took over [Gardranda]?

As Juliette made me curse Gashadokuro in a duel with Wolf Cherry Blossoms......!

"Now you can't summon or use your temper."

Again in the woman's voice, Igoronak told her so.

Even then, Igor Ronak's shooting is after me.

"I have understood your shavings. Reduce the hand tag, sharpen the force, and ensure that it is finished '

……

I'm not moving properly. I'm moving my left leg so hard. I crawl halfway, I go back to the straight line to the stairs again to escape the bullet.

'Ray, not like this......!

"... ugh!

With this lack of vision, Shining Dispair is too risky.

Perception by the Nemesis damage counter may give you a good position, but it will be a pretty bad bet.

Neither does The Return... I don't have time to charge.

Plus, even if we simply destroy him, he'll be back soon, and now he's got no running legs.

I can't blindfold you by temper or summon Gardranda.

"Kuh! Not good......! Me too, already......!

"Nemesissssssssss......!

The sound of a series of bullets begins to mix with the cracking sound of a metal… nemesis.

It kills me unilaterally like this, such a hunch goes through the back of my brain.

"No...!

I can't lose. For Azrite, who entrusted me to myself, for Mr. Patriot, who kept me alive.

In this place, I can't die!

"... use an axe!

"Ray......!?

The most powerful armed, cursed unnamed axe I have.

It's not like in [Lazy Demon King] 's dreams. I don't have control.

However, I have also confirmed in the arena junction that it is feasible to do so if you sacrifice one arm and one swing.

Crush the wall blocking the stairs behind you with one swing on the right and exit Igoronak with one swing on the left.

When you lose both arms, the rest escape to the upper level, even if supported by Nemesis.

Even if it's a bad bet for a minute, this is the only measure you can take right now.

Ahead, Ahead...!

"Nemesis!"

'... don't worry! There's no such thing as running away with your lord!

Nodding to Nemesis's response, I decide to be ready.

And try to equip the axe with Moment Gear...

――

I heard an unprecedented sound (...).

As disputed by the sound of the bullet, - Kiddin and the clear sound (...) are echoing in the labyrinth.

Sounds like a quiet bang of high-quality metal.

Did you alert yourself to sounds of clearly different quality than before, Igor Ronak's shooting stops?

A sudden silence came.

- I advise you.

- What I heard shortly after was a voice I didn't know I heard.

Nemesis, not Igoronak.

It's like I don't know myself... but it's like I heard it somewhere, a strange voice.

- If there's anyone out there, get out of front of the rubble early.

The voice was heard from the… top (...) of the stairs closed by obstacles.

"Rubble!? This guy looks decent in the mockingbird's range......!

"... Vito! Settlement! '

Igoronak must have seen it as the intervention of the < master > of the other kingdoms.

If you don't kill me with certainty, there are signs of further attacks.

But before that...

"-" Grandasher ""

- I heard the sound of the wall behind me being crushed.

"Huh!"

"What!?

With a small rubble hitting me, but I desperately explore the surrounding sounds.

What I heard was someone's running noise and further destructive noise.

The sound I've heard several times before.

- The crushed sound of Igor Ronak.

"Lord Ray. Late ginseng is the extreme of shame, but more than this, it returns stigma with action. It is also my duty to act on behalf of the Lord, therefore."

Someone unknown called my name and held me straight up.

"Otherwise, I'm sorry!

And keep it up...... I can throw it away.

"Nah!?

I am stunned by the sudden acts carried out in invisibility, too, but there was no clash that I was prepared for shortly afterwards.

The impact of the landing was much lighter than expected, even though it was thrown.

Landing at the top of the parabola of the throw, … I understand that it was thrown from the basement second floor to the ground floor.

The mysterious man who suddenly appeared said he let me go.

"Hey, who the hell was that!?

"I don't know. But..."

My voice doesn't sound familiar and I shouldn't have noticed, but I felt like I knew that person.

◇ ◆ ◇

□ ■ - Basement level 2

The basement upstairs where Ray was escaped by someone.

Igoronak, crushed by a sudden intruder, plays it as it should.

But it doesn't work.

Because I tried to find out why the situation had changed dramatically.

In front of Igoronak, the intruder is royal and blocks the way to the ground floor.

All I'm saying is, 'If you want to go through here, take yourself down'.

"What, you?

Who does Hikaru do to the intruder?

A staircase connecting the first and second floors where Melo formed a barricade by releasing a large number of materials from the item box, causing them to be blocked.

However, the opponent in front of him destroyed the barricade with a single blow, which also contained high-hardness material, causing him to break downstairs. It is not a concurrent arrangement.

"Ask someone. You'll be asked. Naturally."

The figure in [Broadcast Eye] is not that bizarre in < Infinite Dendrogram >.

A woman made of dragon shell and wearing a plate mail.

What is characteristic is that you hold one horse assault spear (lance) on each arm, flat?

"If you ask me first name, I'll have to answer."

But what Hikaru heard was not a 'name'.

Now the first to third floors of this Tomb Labyrinth are within Mockingbird Clean's Special Skills.

All of them must be losing sight of themselves.

But not even Tian.

If it's Tian...... Igoronak's side is hitting him badly when he first appeared.

It was the bullet fired at Ray Sterling, some of which was hitting this woman who had broken into it.

I'm no more Tian than Vito is safe when he attacked me off the battlefield.

But if it's not < master > or < embrio > or tien......

What is this woman?

"My name is Gran Schwarthea Glorias Fortron"

And the woman that stood before Igoronak stretched her breasts, and told her the strange names of Hikaru,

"- And it is a dragon with the name Marilyn (...)!

- That's what I called it on top of each other.
