＜Infinite Dendrogram＞

□ ■ Northwest Kingdom/Inside [Halley]

< Babylonian Combat Regiment > and [King Eater] Kata.

Their battle power difference is clearly expressed in numbers.

All three of the Babylonian Fighters are at 500 Levelkanst.

But...... Kata is 1000 over just the super job level. Combine with subjobs to reach a total of 1500 levels.

A mighty man among the mighty even if he adds up to three levels.

The difference in level results in a difference in status, and the three of them do not extend to Kata in physical ability.

[King Eater] is a durable avant-garde type, but all stats exceed three.

But - < Babylonian Combat Regiment > was flirting with Kata.

"... fast"

What can be seen in Kata's eyes are two motorcycles accelerating on the inner walls of a sphere cage.

Helmose, Halley, and two bike types walk through a space with no goal.

The Globe of Death was a inexperienced battlefield for Kata running around this whole area, but something familiar to the Risers in multiple layers of mock warfare.

We also train on the premise of capturing enemies in this way and ending them with a coordinated attack.

"Is that pointy (...) bike ejecting poison gas? Involve your allies... no?

Halley's Active Skill, Tail of Harry, destroys the subject's red blood cells and releases poison gas that falls into a [suffocating] state.

However, the bike-riding risers and langs are both fully face-equipped and have breathing apparatus attached to them.

And the one remaining, Bishmal...

"-" Blast (s), Flame (l), Ang (t) Wo "

- It's transforming itself into a flaming incarnation.

To the trio's movements, Kata reads the thoughts of the Babylonian Combatants

"Combo of poisonous gases in flame combustion and breathing difficulties. You're gonna kill me with a state disorder?

The decision is not wrong.

Kata wins with status and easily recovers HP.

It's unreasonable to attack and sharpen that properly.

Not to mention contact attacks, which increase the risk of predation.

"But I can't take you down."

In such a passive way, you can never defeat yourself.

I already swallowed [a healing all-purpose psychic] with one of my mouths and the poison was rendered powerless.

And if it's a long-term battle, you're bound to win.

When Kata thought that,

"- Whoa whoa whoa!!

- Bishmal, turned into a flame, stormed (...) into Kata.

Ultra-high heat for non-entities.

A duel ranker and inevitable evaporation if properly bumped into.

Kata stands in the wake of Bishmal's assault, transformed into a living sun.

"I thought you said you could eat anything?

There are no two words in that word.

It would be flame, but it would be non-physical, but if I put it in my mouth and chewed it up, it would be a predatory target.

If you're going to storm, a summer bug that flies into the fire.

No, should I say fire that flies into my mouth?

to Bishmal coming directly from the front, swinging through the right hand forming the maxilla at the counter,

- Cut the sky.

We should have won at speed and captured Bishmal exactly.

But there was no response, and a flaming lever blow slammed against Kata's flank in a flash of clearance.

A powerful blow burns meat, shatters bones, and greatly diminishes mythical metals (healing items) in the mouth.

"Hmm?

"The only thing you can eat will be what's in your mouth!

The Bishmalls watched closely.

Earlier, even when I was burned by the flames of [Firelix]... I hadn't eaten the flames that burned the surface of my body, he said.

Kata can eat anything - if you put it in your mouth (...).

And the other thing they understand.

Because I didn't do 'what I would have done if I could' in the previous offense.

That's......

"You can make a mouth everywhere in your body, but not all of your body can be spoken (...)"

"I don't know if it's number or area, but if you read the incidence point and avoid it, you'll hit it right!

Bishmal's forward kick hits mouthless again with a growl.

Kata's counter, which could not be intercepted, also came off, and an accelerated Helmose assault from behind broke Kata's right elbow.

The two calmly scrape their kata in Hit and Away.

The second mythical metal melts and disappears in the mouth.

"... that makes sense"

Kata is convinced and impressed by the reasoning that their attacks are working on her.

"But how can you read where and when I make my mouth?

Kata spoken naturally, holding onto natural questions.

The answer is…….

"This one has hundreds of special training to defeat a man who grows his stature instead of his mouth"

"The way you read the timing of an outbreak is a treat!

A history of defeat to Tom Cat, overlaid by Riser and Bishmal.

The special training they lay to overcome the battlefield walls did not win the battle against Tom.

But now, that special training blossoms in this battle.

"... the two of you can do that. I wonder if you're keeping your focus on cages and poison and distancing yourself from me because you can't be around that gurgle."

As for compatibility, it is not a natural enemy. Kata will be in your favor.

But they've been challenging Kata with calculations that could win.

"You've been talking to yourself a lot since just now!

"What I thought would come right out of my mouth. You have a lot of mouth."

…………

"... < LotJ (of which) > Then it's an iron plate joke."

Deciding he apparently slipped, Kata exhales.

"If you're gonna lick us and deal with us, we're gonna get on with it."

"Though I wasn't licking it."

Kata doesn't have to lick her opponent.

Before you lick it, because you're a man who eats.

"And yet... that's weird"

The reason they were 'attacking Kata' was understandable.

But I don't understand 'the logic of not hitting Kata'.

I should have caught it for sure. It's off.

"I don't know about the fountain of magic, but can't I eat it like this?"

……

At the same time, judging by the

"-" Weiye homologous (cannibalism) "

- Declare one skill.

Immediately afterwards, Kata moves at a rate that doubles by then, eating Bishmal's left shoulder with a large mouth of his left hand that he missed avoiding.

Burn and rot your mouth, but eat the flame and turn it into your own resource, recovering.

The burns caused by this predation and the damage to the right elbow broken by the riser disappear.

"Riser! What are your skills now......!

"Oh, self-enhancing (buff) skills."

That's the depths of [King Eater].

A skill similar to the Beast Warrior lineage and homogeneous to Wolf Cherry Blossom's Trail of Dreams (Gashadokuro).

That is, the ability to multiply a selected status on itself for a certain amount of time by preying on a part of an organism's body.

The effect time fluctuates according to intake, but the status multiplies the organism's as it is.

Even in the previous contact with Alberto, he had increased his endurance at first by eating the ingredients of the END-type monster, and then increased his speed by eating the ingredients of the AGI type.

Wolf cherry blossoms with similar skills have noticed at that one time, and the hinted riser has already understood.

"Speed increased! Respond! '

I don't know what to say, but I know!

Against Kata, who repeats the supersonic manoeuvre, the two overlap the attack while dodging the bullet at critical intervals.

Kata wonders about that familiar (...) movement.

"Again...... It's like you've been through a lot of battles with guys faster than me."

"Oh! I know a much faster guy!

That's also the same as when Tom Cat was there.

A duel ranker superior to them, the kingdom's fastest [Battousai] cashmere.

A special training layered to beat a prodigy who emits an inevitable slaughter at dozens of times the speed of sound corresponded to Kata's movement in the state of "Weiyi Tongyo", which doubled the speed of sound.

"Do you have lower specs than me but higher interpersonal experience? I'm not in a duel, and I only eat like a monster or a clan challenger..."

In accordance with the rules of < LotJ >, there have been several battles betting the owner's seat.

But I have little other interpersonal experience.

The duel did not participate on the grounds that it did not feel like eating, and although its horror was well known, so there are never many who plan PK. The case of Kata herself taking the initiative to move to PK also did not occur unless she looked like an extra delicious opponent like this one.

Most importantly... you have fought your opponent differently before.

"Not to seal my predation, not to fight from the unreachable distance of the 'jaw', but to fight while dodging my 'jaw' at close range. Aren't you scared?

"I Know Something Scarer Than That"

What floats behind Riser's brain is a sight once upon a time.

The golden dragon that shines light from all over his body and himself with his friends who disappear in it.

And it's all that was lost when I came back.

Because I know that, no matter how rough and horrible Kata is in front of me... he doesn't retreat.

"Heh! It's no big deal to be eaten! I don't want to be eaten!

Bishmal also stands up to Kata with his friends.

Kata's predation overshadows my damage race with a single blow. There is also the fear of becoming predators.

These are the two of us fighting on such an opponent's mound, controlling it and sharpening the kata.

"Huh.... What is this? A little... fun (...)?"

Men who are not afraid of themselves, who are not overconfident of themselves, and who come head-on with courage.

unprecedented form of battle.

Kata felt an instinct other than appetite leap into this situation.

"Is this what duels are for? Maybe I should have joined you."

"You can do that when the war is over!

"Right."

Some delightfully Kata's mouth (...) makes a laugh at Riser's words.

"But I still can't lose, and I'm not gonna miss it."

Kata's mouth grin deepens, her mouth angle rises - and she rips (...).

"Needs - I'll break my form."

Shortly after his own decree to < Embrio > - Kata's fangs captured Helmose's tires.

Riser stuns in the mask.

An attack on itself that was clearly out of time, even adding supersonic speed.

The reaction is delayed and Helmose, preyed on part of the tire, falls.

"Huh!"

Riser flies off the bike aggressively, but something big passes through the space where he was close.

I was wondering if it would be ten meters long...

"Is this... an arm (...)!?

- Kata's arm (...).

However, it does not resemble the original shape.

The "jaw" that occurs in the arm opens to its limit, and the ends of the "jaw" and "jaw" that so open overlap, extending the length of the arm itself.

It is more like the tentacles of an alien creature than a human arm, all of which turned into 'jaws'.

If touched, it is scraped, swallowed and digested by the fangs.

(Shift from full to medium range! Did you even have a bill like that!

By unexpected hand, Riser lost the mobility of his own foot, Helmose.

However, I also understand that the current situation has not always deteriorated.

(I'm concentrating 'Jaw' on both arms! The percentage of 'jaws' in the torso area is reduced and the hit itself is easy to aim for!

The number of 'jaw' limit deployments, or limit volumes.

Whichever is the condition, those two arms consume them to a large extent.

The range has been longer, but the mouth other than the arm is to the extent that it can be counted with one hand, making the attack extraordinarily easier to hit than ever if you can dive in.

If you say so, that's a form biased against attack.

Riser had already understood it and so had Bishmal.

Still......

"... this guy!

Still, I can't step in time.

Kata wields both arms as extended as a whip at supersonic speeds, eating all around without distinction between up, down, left and right (...).

Even the cages (halleys) for trapping are eaten and extinguished when Kata's arm passes.

Now Kata's surroundings have turned into a space where death awaits if we step in.

…………

Riser thinks.

I've eaten through the cage, and Kata stays here.

I guess it's because Luke and the others are determined to destroy the Risers.

Thats lucky in itself, but if time passes without the Risers stepping in, Kata might get tired of it and change her mind too.

Hence......

'Step in!'

"Answer!

Riser rushes out to Kata on his own feet, and on the other side Bishmal also moves slightly out of time.

Riser steps in is a predatory zone of death created by both Kata's arms.

Step in and avoid the first swing, but a second swing like swinging down from the diagonal top captures Riser's body.

But the attack cuts the sky and the riser moves one step closer to Kata.

"... uh"

Bishmall also steps into the predatory zone in a gap where Kata's movement is dull in its unexpected results.

I wave my arms at you, too, but my arm, which is supposed to be a direct hit, also swings empty.

"Again... what is this..."

He gets stuffed with distance, and the body shoots him from front to back in a row, and Kata turns back.

Pull your arms back, but the two are escaping in time to replace you.

"The phantom of [the illusionist]? Shadow of Heaven and Earth? Not from the three builds here. There's a fourth? No, there's no sign of that. It doesn't taste like it."

I drool my tongue out of most of my mouth all over my body like that in the battle with Alberto... but the only signs of the flavor around me are the ones here, no one else.

"Also cages and poison gas, motorcycles, flaming. It's not an ability that seems to derive from illusion. So this is... uh"

Kata put a single hit on the identity of an incredible phenomenon whose attacks were being avoided.

"... Benefit Martial Arts"

To the words Kata groaned bossly, Riser pierced the poker face with a mask, but Bishmal's expression changes.

"" Tournament ”? I guess that's how you got it, huh?

…………

"Benefit weaponry that creates illusions about you and your party members. Hide in the shadow of the phantom, erase the phantom after I unleash an attack against the phantom, and hit my own attack. That repetition? Which one of you has it? Or the guy who's going around with the glue?

Kata's guess is correct.

[Alma Karma, a twin orphan] is the name of the UBM that Riser won the challenge in the Tournament.

The ability to do so shall be to 'create identities'.

In the state of the beads, the identity of those who possess them.

And < UBM > always had the ability to create identical identical identities.

He was a formidable enemy fighting while hiding which one was the main body, but he is destroying it with the addition of Bishmall.

Benefit weapons thus obtained, [two-star ring Alma Karma].

One of your gear skills, Screen, is the ability to generate 3D footage of yourself and your party members by consuming MPs, as Kata says.

That in itself is not very different from the skills of the [illusionist], but has the advantage of not having cool-time and occurring fast.

That's why they made me act as a decoy continuously, even in the midst of high-speed combat.

"False and fruitful. If you attack with the illusion as real, you can have a gap there. But bracketing illusions and heights may now remain real.... Yeah, that's a pain in the ass. I can't eat illusions, so I can't recover."

Kata understood [the two-star wheel] skills and also grasped the danger of continuing this offense.

That's a lot of damage.

If you eat one, you will be able to recover all of it, but it is the current situation that prevents you from doing so.

I still wonder if priority should be given to ingesting mythical metals (restoration items) first.

If it is a long battle, depletion is better done first by kingdoms that use more skills, such as Bishmall, which is using "Blast Fire", and Lang, which is developing "All Heaven Circuit".

And even if they keep their distance from the Kingdoms on their way to Murdoch, they can catch up if they keep gaining speed in Weiyue Kogen.

Even if it took some time, Kata decided she could prey on them and win... calmly.

(Where?

But the riser, whose defeat was deemed imperative, is watching Kata's movements behind the mask.

(It also accumulates damage. If so, it should be time to take it out)

What he is exploring while hiding his gaze in a mask......

(- Where is the item box (...)?

- It is the location of the item box held by Kata.

Yes, make it a mythical metal for recovery, a material to consume in Weiyi Tongyou, and Kata should have it hidden somewhere.

Destroy it...... or stay away from Kata and the efficiency of strengthening and recovery will be significantly reduced.

(Take it out of where?

After the Wolf Cherry Blossom attacked me, I was removing it from my pocket, but that's not an item box.

Kata has also been burned all over her body once by [Firelix]. Your upper body gear is totally burned down, and it's almost like charcoal in your lower body trousers.

If the pocket were an item box, it would have already been destroyed at that point in the flamethrowing.

So that was just, like, throwing candy balls in my clothes pocket.

It's also gone because of the size and bulge of the pockets.

That's why... there's got to be a real life item box hidden somewhere.

"... mmm"

In front of Riser, who thinks so, Kata puts her hand in a burnt pocket... but smiles when she realizes there is nothing.

- But the next moment Kata's body wound was fully healed.

No doubt Kata hasn't taken the item out now and hasn't even thrown it in her mouth.

(Because from the beginning......!

That is what points to the position of Kata's item box.

Burned all the epidermis won't destroy them and they can prey on items without removing them.

And yet, a place that isn't usually targeted.

The only place that applies to such conditions is…

"Bishmal! Lang! Where's the mouth that he never opened (...)!

- Any of the mouths formed all over your body.

"... ah"

Kata opened her eyes to the fact that Riser noticed her own lifeline called the Item Box,

"Mr. Riser! Mr. Bishmal!"

Lang, who heard Riser's inquiry,

"It's under the left pectoral muscle (...)! That mouth, it's never opened!

I kept observing the battle away, but therefore returned the answer immediately.

At that moment, the risers move.

"Bishmal...... I'll do that one!

"You're gonna punch it out! I'm so ready!

And they dare to walk for the second time.

But now it's not a build-up of damage, it's pushing along with a clear aim.

Its purpose is the mouth of the left chest.

Kata's greatest weakness lies in the place where she is preyed upon but thus avoids contact with the enemy.

If the item box is destroyed, endless recovery and enhancement will be sealed.

The only chance of winning over Kata was there.

"Though I won't let you."

Kata shrinks her arms, which were stretched, and arms together in front of her chest.

And from the side of his arm, he opens several 'jaws'.

Deformation from aggressive to protective form, counter-specific style of contact instant predation.

The two of us, who only have direct attacks, can't break through this protection.

"Now if there's no gap, - duh?

- But Kata's body had been jumped up in the air shortly after he took that defensive stance.

That's an attack from behind.

Huge amount of damage enough to crush and rupture your spine.

It was the blue and white shadow that exchanged it - a motorcycle with a sharp fang-like punch angle.

"- I'm here, too, huh?

- It is a flying assault (jumping) by a halley with maximum acceleration.

Trinity, including Lang, in fact, while calling only Bishmal out of consciousness.

Halley's jumping is a clash of super heavy objects that has reached five times the speed of sound.

A deadly attack that once drove Ray into distress and would have shattered his whole body if it wasn't a durable kata.

Kata's mouth concentrated in one place, making the others defenseless, and the timing when he could even aim for Lang... Lang kept accelerating for this moment.

Be sure to take this blow... to knock in a blow that creates a special opportunity.

"Kahu."

Kata throws blood out of her mouth all over her body and into the air where she can't move at any speed.

While being bounced off and spinning, but the guard on both of those arms is alive and well.

Try not to self-regenerate while chewing up mythical metal in the mouth of your left chest.

"- Heavy fire!

- But there is a light that illuminates its appearance from directly below.

That's Bishmal.

A special skill that was flaming all over his body gradually disappears.

No, not disappear.

Little by little - the flames gather in my right fist.

Bishmall's flames, which are pushed and consolidated, emit a brilliance of sunshine.

"of the territory (...), compression (...)...!"

TYPE: A compression phenomenon similar to that of the territory, that only part of it is used.

Kata also knew it existed - but there was no information that Bishmal could use it.

- That means he also took another step further.

"-" Flaming Asthma (Leviataine) "!

Bishmall slaps a shining fist at Kata as she falls to the ground.

It lands with a brilliance equal to that of the Stars and above the calories - it explodes.

……

A blow that compresses a special skill with some of the finest firepower in a dueling ranker than the original.

The air around Kata is wiped out by the heat that overtakes [Firelix], and the hitting arms carburize and smash shortly after predation, and the whole body is inflamed.

The guard on both arms that protects Kata's chest physically collapses,

"Ha..."

At the same time, the Bishmar of the blast will wipe out his whole body, and it will also become dust of light and disappear.

His body, compressed but thus no longer flaming, cannot withstand its own maximum firepower.

The sword of the sult that ends Nordic mythology is like the sword of the flame, the sword of the blades that burns down enemies with itself.

Still...... I had no hesitation with Bishmal.

- I'll take care of it.

His last words disappeared into the blazing space,

"Tu!"

- And the riser jumps.

My juniors cut me loose, and my friends made it with their lives. For the first and last chance to compete.

"The Storm Man Kicking Evil (Helmose)"!

In response to the Lord's call, Helmose, who was rolling on the ground, flies.

The part that merged with the Lord and became one sprays the wind, accelerating to Kata in the air.

"Sheaaaaaaa!"

However, Kata is also regarded as the strongest quarterback in the Empire.

Twist your dying body in the air and turn your original mouth into a giant jaw to intercept the riser.

In Kata's eyes with enhanced velocity, the riser movement is well visible.

Faster than a blow of riser reaches his own chest, the maxilla captures riser.

If timing is misaligned with illusion, it corresponds to you with the mouth of the reshaped torso.

That's what I thought, when I tried to unleash a special predatory counter,

- There were two risers in the air.

"Even illusions. - Ah."

And I realize it because it's Kata.

That's not an illusion either - that it's real (...).

◇

[Twin Star Ring Alma Karma].

Its primary skill, Screen's identity, is illusion.

But the second skill, Double Cast, is different.

Short manifestation of an entity with the same ability and the same movement as the wearer.

The power the Risers have adjusted to counter Tom Cat, who was once insurmountable.

Its power is now......

◇

"" - "Double Liza Akiwik" "

- [King Eater] Capture Kata.

The proliferation of phantom entities.

An instant gap, arising from thoughts to cope.

Two steep points - head, chest and kata - arrive at that gap - the kick of two risers.

…………

Kata closed her jaw and chewed up the riser, momentarily faster than she preyed,

"'-Sayaaaaaaa!!

- Riser kicked Kata to pieces.

――――

Kata was crushed cranially through the cerebromedulla, the thought center, and with her heart she was crushed through the chest item box.

The flesh and countless ingredients are also scattered, but they are burned out from one end by the flames of sults that linger throughout the body.

…………

With his head, heart, and arms lost, [King Eater] 's body still lands.

But it doesn't make sense to connect lives with the skills of [Dead Soldier] or [Honorable Soldier] if they completely crush the brain marrow that moves the body.

The body that remains is inflamed, yet walks only a few steps flimsily as it seeks a lost neck......,

……………………

Eventually, he fell and lay powerless at the bottom of the cage.

That is the sight of a clear settlement.

They can't reach it alone, and they can't follow it without their stack.

It was a sight at the end of the road they walked.

To be continued
