Over The Infinite

-1 -

It took a little time to reach the ground, whether it had slowed down by entering a flock of faces covering the stars, or whether it was thicker than I had imagined.

Countless faces bounced by the unfolding barrier of the realm dragon and easily vanished. Everything outside the spherical barrier is filled with faces. A sight so unrealistic that it is more convincingly said to be some sort of magical mental attack. If he is weak-hearted, he will freak out just by looking. That's not just the visual effect of a different sight. My face is looking at us. The gaze of countless, madly colored usurpers flies in with physical mass.

That density is much darker than it is in the artificial satellites we've cut through so far, and it's no longer the same as digging through the ground. If the realm dragon barrier is unraveled, we will be swallowed up without the art of exchange and robbed of everything.

All of this is a victim and perpetrator created by a nightmarish chain. How many faces exist that cover this planet up the universe? And to make this sight a reality, how many worlds in the world have the innumerable appearances destroyed?

I feel the time since I entered is unusually long. Or maybe it's actually long, but I can't grasp any sense of distance. Far to the ground.

- "Not good. The Great Junction has already begun to contract.

But apparently this length was an anomaly for the Realm Dragon as well.

"You know what I mean?

- "It's not a strange distance to be already within the Great Junction, but the magical reaction of the Junction is far away. Even if it's inhibited because of his face. It's probably only a matter of time before they destroy us.

"Um... what happens if the junction breaks? I know the storm will be unstoppable."

It was Clarice who spoke the question. Unlike us who were moving assuming there was something going on, I guess she just got asked about the situation by Beautiful Bow and she can't assume the worst.

"As far as I can tell from the material I've received, the only way to be safe is with Kugelschreiber."

It was the sky dragon who answered that question.

"There is now a double bond on the ground. The great junction that blocks the storm of ultra-high pressure and the small junction prepared by the labyrinth city to adjust human-livable environments around its inner ruins. It is no longer an environment in which human activity can take place, whichever of these is lacking... because inner junctions are those with great outer junctions in the first place..."

"You mean all but Kugelschreiber when the outer junction is broken...?

An empty dragon nodded at the words.

This assumption applies not only to us humans, but also to all dragons on earth. Because there are only a handful of dragons that can live in a storm.

- "When I get off the ground, I'll rebuild my great bond. And for now, the worst should be spared.

It's just not the worst. The status quo is already about one step ahead of it, but no one talks about it.

- "Both large and small junctions need to go to the center of the ruins and re-tension. If I protect you, one or the other will never break.

The words of the realm dragon have no meaning other than recognition of the status quo.

In the meantime, I might just want to talk about not having to think separately.

"It's because of that face that correspondence and" reading stories "don't get through. Now that you're in the juncture, you're going out into an open space somewhere, and anyway, once you get through the flock of faces, Sky Dragon is" Reading Tales "for all directions. If possible, get in touch with Second or Dirk, Werner. Yuki asks you to check periodically if it passes to the example message board."

"I tried to sound an alert when I had a reaction."

"... Yes"

Huh, if I turned my face, the sky dragon had the look of something on his mind.

"If anything happens, you better keep it in your mouth. They're surrounded by dragon barriers. Not now, but if you're bored, it's their bait."

"Excuse me.... I was wondering why your mother told me to run away etc"

What a reason to leave a successor if you normally think about it and keep the clan going, but if you think about the dragon's ecology and how it's there, that's hard to think about. Because at the root of the dragon is nothing more than revenge for malice rather than the prosperity of the species and so forth. And that's what the Imperial Dragon should have done, and the other dragons were only created as much as possible with their hands and feet. Let me tell you, it is a species of dragon royalty.

As a mother, at least the child has the emotion of wanting to live... I can't say enough that there is no fine dust, but it would also be unnatural for Sky Dragon to be the only one.

"I don't know what the intent is, but I guess it means something"

I don't think he's going to bother suggesting a whole lot of futile things that aren't up to purpose.

You thought that if you were near me, indirectly, you would serve your purpose.... No, I don't. We have no feelings for other prisoners. Plus, it still doesn't have to be an empty dragon.

If we consider ourselves in the same position, our purpose as prisoners of cause and effect is still paramount. If so, it would be more natural to think that Sky Dragon has elements to replace the Emperor Dragon.... if he dies, he moves onto the body of the Sky Dragon, or the captivity of the cause and effect itself is inherited... No, I don't see how a beating like this in the event of death would insure the opponents who come to challenge him through a means of attack that I don't know well. They want to kill those who cannot. It's absurd to expect the next thing to connect in a state where concepts and beings themselves are scratched off.

Perhaps Gergial's trump card is the Affidavit. Or something close to it. Its accuracy is probably so advanced that it cannot be compared to that of the Dilks. If you're the kind of person who freely rewrites concepts, you might come and tear them all apart.

... If so, regardless of the life or death of the Imperial Dragon, the Sky Dragon already has that meaning?

- "The ground is close. This reaction gives me a lot of time...

World Dragon's "Tales of Reading" stopped.

No, it wasn't just The Tale of Reading that stopped. All of us were stunned by that unusual sight.

The realm dragon has stopped in this critical situation, but to such an extent that it seems impossible.

- What do you mean? ――

No one can answer that question.

Seeing a flock of faces that would cover the entire planet, I... no, I was aware that we would all be in a similar situation on earth. Even if you look optimistic, it's to the extent that the area around the ruins may still be safe, beyond the unbroken junction that the Imperial Dragon was straining.

But if we tried to get close to the ground, what we waited for was a different sight than we imagined.

The realm dragon is lagging between the earth and the heavenly narrows. Perhaps a blank part that occurred because no prey existed. Probably outside the Great Junction, where the storm should be blowing.

There are faces that fill the ground. Yes, but its density is thin. Some, though, are enough to see the exposed ground. On the other hand, the face that fills the sky is so free of gaps that I could understand that the storm that was blowing up here was blocking the flock of faces. No storm has stopped. It just seemed like his face was too dense to stop doing it. So where are the faces that are supposed to be filling the ground?

"... Black Old Tree"

Sky dragon squeaks.

... Yes. A mysterious tree dotted without falling in a storm that covers the entire planet. Perhaps a flock of faces are concentrated where they appear to have been. I can't see the contents, so I can't confirm them, but the sight is like a tower stretching up to the sky, like a tornado.

I understand what is happening, but I have no idea why it is happening.

- "I don't know, it seems like the situation is just a little better than the worst. It's not so much movement.

That's what the realm dragon says and starts moving.

Ahead, where the same flock of faces are shaped in a dome. I can't confirm inside, but that center is probably the ruin.

Though faces flock to flying realm dragons, they are sporadic, not enough to fill their sights. I don't know why, but I guess I'm still drawn to black old trees.

"No. I knew I couldn't connect. Maybe Kugelschreiber's already on the move."

The message board Yuki is trying to access is via Kugelschreiber. Naturally, I wouldn't be able to connect without the Kugelschreiber acting as a server.... I wish we were off and returning to the labyrinth city, but there could also be a case of total destruction.

"What about The Tale?

"No. In circumstances where the subject cannot even be identified…"

Is it a distance problem because the Dragon and the Realm are connected in "Tales of Reading"? But Sky Dragon should still connect with Kugelschreiber at this distance. If so, should we still consider it inhibited......

"No, please wait a minute.... The connection...? Yes. Yes! Dear Watanabe, Mr. Dirk and I are connected to the Tale of Reading! I'll connect you."

In the seemingly unlikely, the joyful voice of the sky dragon rises. Good news, but do we bother to connect individually?

-2 -

- "Good. I was wondering what I would do if this didn't connect. Are you all right? ――

Dilk's voice sounds familiar to my brain.

- "Safe and sound, but the situation is near the worst. What's going on over there now? ――

- "Excuse me, but I'm also in a coma, so I don't know the details. In a situation where we are collecting information solely through the Kugelschreiber network......

"What?"

I accidentally made a voice out of words that I didn't quite understand, rather than "reading."

Dirk's remarks were so pointless that he had to go back to vegan in such a situation. What do you mean, coma? You can talk.

... No, exchanging information with each other is a priority now. I can't go in either way.

- "Then briefly explain the situation here. Two captives of cause and effect appeared, and the Imperial Dragon entered into warfare with his inner unity. Instead of anticipating rescue, there's even the danger of the world's extinction that you used to say. And the other one is the one who caused this situation.

- "After all, that face and the unnamed being... Watanabe said..."

- "The whole captivity of causality who also intervened in my previous life, an unlimited appearance. Faces that exist innumerably are all identical, and decadence is celestial level. It's a monster that takes the face and name of every being and makes it a part of itself.

- "A joke... no, you know what?"

It's not the kind of information that I can accept just because I explained it. Unlike those of us who watched the sky cover, those who were on earth have not seen the whole picture.

Though Dirk is some convincing wind.

- "... what is Watanabe's current location and status? ――

- "Shortly after he descended from an artificial satellite with the help of a realm dragon. Our current position is outside the Great Junction and we are now heading to the ruins. The companions are Mr. Glenn, Yuki, Berenvar, Beautiful Bow and Clarice, Sky Dragon and Realm Dragon. The confirmed sacrifice is General Wu Long's inner two. Spiritual dragons are dealing with the whole thing.

- - "… five. Really... do you mean this is a mark of seizure? The numbers don't match.

Fast and helpful to understand. Understanding isn't convincing, but that's fine now.

- "Right. The memory of those who have been seized will be lost. Not all relevant information will be lost, but they won't be there. The one who is taken away becomes a kaonashi, just a deceased who robs another of his name and face. I don't even know exactly who was sacrificed.

- "How to deal with it..."

- "... probably not. Especially if it's recovered at the end of this World Magic, it'll be a complete part of him. Ever since they showed up, information has been flowing in through Prisoners of Cause and Effect, but there's no such information in it.

This influx of information is difficult to understand without being the person who experienced it, but Dilk would draw on it for about what it is.

- "In the meantime, you should aim to rendezvous.... In this situation, first of all, Kugelschreiber is experiencing delays in launching due to institutional problems. We are in the process of accommodating as many personnel as possible while switching to spare...

- "What's the damage to your face and kaonashi? ――

- "Very big," I can only say. This is a situation where the sphere of influence is too great to grasp. From the information we've recovered, we're being attacked by faceless people and dragon-like things.

Are adventurers and dragons still sacrificed as well?

If I lost my memory, I wouldn't even know where the sole came from and would feel like it had suddenly appeared. Even if that was a friend who was right around the corner.

- "Hull damage is mainly external walls. A good part of the interior is also damaged. At the time of departure, the outer walls were also considered to be disconnected.

- "What was the status of the accommodation of those who were outside the ship? ――

- "If you judge by the number alone, you can accommodate more than half of them. However, many people have been left behind in shelters for local residents, and Mr. Werner and Mr. Ligres are on their way to accommodate them.

- "Our people. And is it possible to deploy it to people who have some information? ――

- "I'll have it unfolded through Mr. Second and Dr. Ladine."

- "... you can't move? I don't know what's going on, but...

- "It's a little harsh. My brain was burned with every safety feature for literally breaking through the existence of a vast amount of information. Now that it's being repaired with minimal functionality, I can't move it.

What do you mean...?

- "I just grabbed a great deal of the cause of the communication failure, including reading. It's a theoretical only assumed story, but it seems that the surrounding information is too vast to be able to connect to the subject. In order to connect properly, you can either fly magic with extra high output, as you do now, or you can approach it up to close range... or if you blow a certain amount of your face......

- "Is that why?"

The cause is the face. However, it is not something in itself, but a huge number of problems that have arisen as a result.

This means that there is no proper "reading" or correspondence within the community. I wonder if this communication was achieved with a divorce out of common sense.

- "That and equipment for junctions and environmental adjustment may be damaged. As it stands, there is a possibility of total annihilation except for Kugelschreiber...

- "I'll handle that over here. That's what the dragon came down for. We need you to drop us off somewhere. We can handle Kaonashi.

- "Excuse me, but I won't be able to reach you for a while. I'll see what I can do.

- "Okay. I'm sorry, but please...

That's how my "Reading Tales" with Dirk ran out.

Shortly after, the realm dragon roared.

A shockwave-like phenomenon occurs, not a brace, and the face that was sticking to the great junction blows up simultaneously. It broke into the junction so as to pass through that gap.

Apparently, it doesn't inhibit unconditional entry from the outside, it also does the sorting.

The situation within the junction was much better than it had been on the road so far. There seems to be a massive intrusion, but the ground also afforded density to the extent that it could be ascertained.

If you look at the sky, you will see a flock of faces that are inhibited by a junction that sweeps without gaps. I don't know if it's due to mass, or if I have the ability to do that, but it looked like I was continuing to do damage to the junction.

I have no idea what their ecology is, but perhaps the faces in the junction have also emerged here. Probably means inhibiting it with a physical disorder after it emerges. Though definitely not more than the junction is damaged.

- "Keep going to the center. You guys are on your way...

"Brother!! Down!?"

Huge masses emerged from the ground directly beneath the flying of the realm dragon along with the screaming screams of the sky dragon.

eruption-like ground protrusions. Inhibited by dirt and sand, I can't confirm who I am, but its size belongs to the dragon. Large compared to the body of the realm dragon, limbs and tails stretched from rocky skin are thick to the point of being undressed. The mountain-like presence jumped, and in an instant it packed the distance from the realm dragon.

... and there was no face on that huge mass that was too much to block our sight.

-3-

Naturally, I don't recognize him. Normally, you can't forget this kind of presence.

"■ ■...... No, it's General Wu Long!!"

Only one person, Berenvar, who can recognize who the other person is, screams.... That's what I mean.

The Kaonashi dragon in front of the eye is the unity within the two taken Wu Long generals. I don't know what the hell kind of ability it is, but it's progressing through the ground.

There are no wings in that body. In fact, maybe he doesn't have the capacity to stagnate. But by spraying intense magic from his back, he launched a fierce assault on the Dragon of the Realm.

- "Oh, no!!" -

Neither does the additional defensive junction deployed forward stop that momentum.

Above all, keeping us in your hands is extremely restrictive. If they throw it out here, they crush it with supergravity and die. I wouldn't have targeted you, but it sucks as the timing of the raid.

"Dragon! The boundaries of the labyrinth city are critical. Get us down!! It's just a leg wrap!

- "But... no, I get it! It's gonna be a little rough! ――

"Mr. Glenn! Empty dragon! Berenvar! Whatever, it's a cover for leaving anyway."

The realm dragon leaves Kaonashi Dragon with all its might as he pursues and attacks with tremendous speed.

To coincide with that attack, he taps into Mr. Glenn, Sky Dragon's sorcery, and Berenvar's "Engraving Art," but it doesn't look like he did it willingly.

I can't stop attacking Kaonashi Ryu. I can see it's not not working. But no matter how many attacks you hit, no matter how much you destroy the area, you come into it.

It's always the way to throw yourself away.

- "Berenvar, if you remember my abilities and fighting style, let me know. I'm not kidding like this.

"Okay. … it's a strange story to explain to the same Five Dragons General, the Realm Dragon"

I can't help being told that. Because Berenvar is the only one who knows that I was General Wu Long.

"His means of air travel is acceleration by magic injection. Fast minutes, I hear it is linear and difficult to change direction. If you're going to get away with it, avoiding pursuit should be easy."

The turning ability is low. I'm not good at aerial stationary. However, only the speed and propulsion of the straight line is picky. Its properties have also manifested themselves in previous attacks. Pack the distance for each attack and change direction after a slight stillness if it doesn't hit. Sometimes I don't use my skills, and the pattern is simple.

The problem is that it exceeds the speed of sound and rolls out at a speed that is as if it were wrong for light. Whatever the dragon, can we even prevent the sonic boom that occurs?

"Notable abilities are physical attack power, and playability that is powerful enough to sustain battle even when shattered."

However, the speed is not his true summit either.

Many times so far, the attack has hit directly, crushing the body, but shortly afterwards it is restored as if there was no damage or anything else, and the attack remains intact.

"Depending on what you see, you shouldn't have HP or defense. That body is brittle and made on the assumption of destruction. Immediately regenerates to destroy the area while attacking, continuing the attack regardless. Even if restrained in an attempt to stop the movement, discard the restrained area and cause it to regenerate. If we're gonna kill him, we're gonna have to wipe everything out with one blow, or we're gonna have to disable every playback capability like Werner did."

In other words, the damage is taken in advance. No matter how much they destroy your body, only an attack passes. Pure attacker. I can't stop losing my fists and arms beating me up.

A hell of a pig rush. It's the kind of ability and style that purified my Hunger Storm Beast and Lotte's Blood Princess to attack even more.

Or does Werner seal off these chemicals?

Berenvar, Sky Dragon, and possibly Mr. Glenn, have a blow that will only make them toddle if they make them hit directly. But aside from the fact that it's on the move, it can't be an effective hit against that kaonashi. It's hard to hit, and it's hard to ignore the damage, and it's not time buying.

Regardless, I guess there are limits to playability, but there's no room or time to try that.

I guess because of the simplicity of the behavioral pattern, it doesn't go well with the realm dragon, which is supposed to be a tank, but the status quo just works to the disadvantage.

- "... not good" -

I see a rush on the realm dragon. We knew what caused it.

The shrinking of the Great Junction is visible and fast. The distance from the wall of the face inhibited by the junction does not open, even though it is headed inward.

In addition, several kaonashi dragons could be identified as new problems. Now we can ignore it and move it, but that number increases the closer we get to the area around the site. We'll have to force a breakthrough to get to the center.

"It's time for the labyrinth city's bounded range. Dragon, if we get down, can we break through to the ruins?

- "I can... but I have another problem. If you leave me alone, I'll destroy the Labyrinth City line.

The biggest problem is Kaonashi's Wu Long General, who is still on a fierce offensive. Even if we don't need our amulet anymore, it doesn't necessarily mean the dragon will be able to finish it. There's no more time for that.

I don't have a hand in splitting it between my hands and us, but it makes it harder for me to get to Kugelschreiber. If they take that thing and destroy it, I can't even see it.

- "Even though we just redeploy what was originally there, we also need to twist the activation time of the great junction. I don't know if I'll miss that gap...

This is the only obstinate pursuit. That can't be right. Something must be done.

"... I'll accompany you to the escort. It's going to be hard to pin it down, but we'll figure it out for about the time during the operation."

Ms Glenn's proposal was probably the most sensible one in this situation. Even if we can't defeat General Wu Long alone, we can protect the defenseless realm dragon and buy enough time.

"Then so are we... No, you're on foot."

And that's enough for one person. With a lot of hands, it'll be easier, but it doesn't mean much to go out of your way to accompany us.

"I know it's going to be a war force, but in your case, we should give priority to going to Kugelschreiber. You are the one who has the most to do with this whole series of problems. I don't know what I can do, but if I can do something, it's you."

I don't know what I can do to get here. But I'm also certain that I feel I have to do something.

"Sky Dragon, you're the one who took on the role of letting you get away."

"That's right..."

Maybe the only reason the Imperial Dragon told me is because it needs to be a prisoner of cause and effect to do it.

Of course, there are reasons why I was simply trusted because I was dying of spiciness or something like that.

- "... listen to me without responding" -

Between those interactions, Mr. Glenn flew the Reading Talk.

- "From earlier, I feel a strong sense of loss. I don't know who I am, but I must have lost something important.

That's... the claw marks of the seizure I've felt innumerable so far. One of them took away something important from Mr. Glenn.

Someone from Ark Sabre, the adventurer who was on this expedition, or maybe there was something like that in the craftsmen.

Mr. Glenn originally acted like a resident ambassador. Alternatively, it is possible that "Mr. Glenn's family was accompanied".

But I don't know what that is. Mr. Glenn himself wouldn't know. All I have is a hole in my pompous, empty heart.

- "I don't deny that it contains sentiments. But I also feel like they're telling me that if there's anything I can do, I should. In fact, I'm sure I'm the best.

"... Tuna?

As hard as I could, I wasn't going to put it on my face, but Yuki seems to have felt something. Shake your head if it's nothing, to delude you.

"... ok. Please."

"Well, I'm not going to die. Tell him I'll get back to you when I get in touch with someone at our house."

- "Help, thank you. I'm sorry I let you go out with me.

"What, you're a representative of the Adventurer for once. Besides, we're used to dragon fighting, so we might as well go with it."

- "It's hard to be treated like a vehicle, but let's leave it now" -

Unlike Linda, she has no saddle or reins, but she is also certain to have combat experience aboard flying organisms. If Mr. Glenn is the only one on board, then the Realm Dragon may also be able to fight with all his might.

"Okay, first fly me to the designated point"

-4-

We broke up with Mr. Glenn and we were going underground.

Underground tunnel built in the ruins basement. Aside from using it as a contact passage with the shelter, it seems to be one of the things we had prepared ahead of our future development plans.

Although the distance traveled would be longer once it descended underground, it was decided that this one was faster as a result.

There is also the danger of a closed space loss, but we cannot cope with kaonashi dragons that can fly in the air on the ground. The basement also has room for dragons, but still better than the space is open.

"Beautiful bow, are you okay?

"... you're not okay, but if it's enough to run"

"Because it's a reflection for all of us when we get back. Be prepared."

"Ha..."

The beautiful bow that was in charge of Berenvar had regained consciousness for once. The MP is depleted and the battle seems tough to see if the "Status Conversion" affects more than that, but it is huge that Berenvar's one arm is empty. Besides, there are things you can do to make a beautiful bow even if you're just conscious.

"... why Tomato?"

Yuki was surprised by Tomato's appearance, which she saw for the first time, but if she didn't care about her appearance, she was a stranded reinforcement.

Tomatoes indiscriminately fire machine guns at the faces around them. The power is not so great, it just spreads pieces without specifying a particular aim, but if it was just a face opponent, it could still be said that this was enough fighting power. Wastefully supervised behavior creeps me out with appearance, but now I'm reliable. So much so that I want to pay tribute to a suicide bombing attack that doesn't look at me.

"Berenvar!! I'll take care of the guy behind you! Sky Dragon and Clarice follow!! Yuki, we'll get rid of the guy in the front!!"

The biggest obstacles that inhibit the way to go are Kaonashi dragons and human shapes.

If there is a gap, he becomes alert to the faces reaching out to take his face and name, while disabling them. Whether the human form is a mix of ordinary people and adventurers. The power is fragmented, but the dragons are all high specs. Skills hardly seem to activate, so we can handle them, but even the vegan state is a sufficient threat.

But Berenvar, who scaffolds fine, whether it's walls or ceilings, as well as Yuki, is good at fighting in closed environments. It is a little wider to call it closed… but allows for more effective combat than on the ground with nothing.

It is the role of Sky Dragon and Clarice to protect the dull beauty bow of movement and to tailor the big man who can't handle it with Tomato. This has been the case since the battle on artificial satellites, but Clarice has demonstrated strength without any problems even in impromptu parties. I don't know if it's the original talent or due to my experience as a veteran adventurer, but now that the situation is suddenly changing, it's easier to count as a force than Beauty Bow & Tomatoes.

It's not a dungeon, it's a reality, but an unlikely situation surrounded by vicious enemies, but if you cut just this part off, it's no big difference from being dungeon-attacked at a six-man party. In other words, demonstrating our strength as a party was necessary to get through this predicament.

Mr. Glenn said this underground road is the main road to the Kugelschreiber launch base. The exact current position is not known, but the distance should have narrowed considerably. If there's nothing like this, we can get there.

... but he was feeling uncomfortable as the war stabilized. Really, I was wondering if that's all.

Countless faces and grabbing white hands are certainly a threat. As a first-time killer, he is the worst, and if he forgives an ambush, any strong man will be rendered powerless.

Kaonashi will dominate if you see combat power. Though a large part depends on the original existence, if adventurers and dragons become kaonashi, they become powerful and extremely powerful soldiers. But if the original specs are high, you won't have any combat experience left, Kaonashi's battles are mostly force pushed. Skills are barely activated either, and they strike for face and name as if they were ghosts or deceased. Behavioral patterns are simple in themselves, and if you get used to them, you can gently repeat some strength differences. Unless, of course, you come out of the standard like General Wu Long, but otherwise, there are few wary beings where you have become a kaonashi. Kaonashi sucks around Werner and Second and Mr. Ligres, but remembering his name means he's safe. And acknowledging that it's the highest power there can be worse than that. It is also a threat if the executives and main players of each clan become kaonashi, but they will not find themselves in a situation where they cannot do anything if they fail to use their abilities. At least Kaonashi doesn't act in tandem.

Not only that, there are other anxiety elements.

If the dragon loses. If so, to what extent is there a time lag to the collapse of the world? Does Gergial have to be vigilant? Wouldn't the Five Dragons come down to earth if the Spiritual Dragons fighting in space lost? Can't the realm dragon and Mr. Glenn fail without connecting? Even Kugelschreiber is difficult to say is safe.... but all of these are just issues currently being dealt with.

What we should fear now is the complete unknown.

This is not a dungeon, even if it is a battlefield.

No trials prepared by Dammus to train adventurers, no surprises prepared to uplift the venue.

Or the performance of the [stationary clock tower] prepared by the nameless for fun is not necessary either.

I'm not attacking anywhere, and the conditions are not being presented. Of course, there's no need to position the boss.

I don't need those performances. If there is to be something, it should be considered to have a realistic meaning.

In that case, the most alarming thing to do would be… an unlimited appearance. Because there's no such thing as meaningless.

In the first place, we're fighting faces and kaonashi, but this is just part of him. From the whole point of view, it may be less than one cell in part. In other words, there is as much room for action as there is for innumerable appearances.

I don't have much information about him. The information that comes from "The Prisoner of Cause and Effect" is superficial and not of the kind that can predict behavior.

Hardly likely to be helpful is the memory of a previous life.

I have fought Kaonashi on Earth. All of them must have been human beings, animals and insects. They were sufficiently counter-productive without the power of adventurers, and only silent if they lost their function as organisms. It would be one of the reasons I could have lived.

I don't know exactly with my memories cloudy, but at least a few days after they appeared... at the longest, they shouldn't have looked like kaonashi when I went to Tokyo. Based on this, we can predict the activation time of "Namesharing Realm" to be about a few days. Of course, it will depend on the will and circumstances of the surgeon, but at least that's how long it was activated in that world. Though faint by the impressions of countless aliens and monsters perverted by malice, that was the only intervention of the innumerable appearance at best.

In the first place, why would he take his face or his name?

That's just not a delightful offender, it would mean something. At least every single one of existence is willed and walled. It expands, and if it gets huge, it becomes that much harder to die.... But is that all?

I hate to admit it to my kind, but our enemy is our only malice. There are prisoners of cause and effect, trials prepared to take the stage and relationships that take their final seats away from each other, but the ultimate goal is common.

A difficult paranormal to understand. Closest to the true God among those who became sub-gods. I have no idea how to perish at the moment, but is that something that can be fulfilled only by inflated, albeit celestial, levels? Doesn't the act of usurpation have a secondary meaning? Isn't that a ritual to strengthen him?

I'm saying face and name, but what I'm doing is snatching the very existence. You can call it soul.

If there's anything contained there... the first thing floating around is a gift. One day I heard that Arre was more deeply rooted in the soul than he was in his skills. It can be considered one of the elements that make up the shape of the soul.

Or maybe that includes skills and stats, but if that's how you're robbing countless abilities, it could also reach the end of the expansion to the only malice.

Take away, inflate and grow as part of yourself. It's quicker and more efficient than working yourself out as an individual. Talent can be strong without feeling any limitations.

And if that's the right answer...... there's one danger that comes up.

We are now resisting usurpation. If one does not have the means to defend oneself… the creatures of the earth are also able to resist phenomena that cannot be resisted in their hectic ways.

If the goal is to seize the power of the opponent, the target that should be given priority is a strong man like a dragon or an adventurer. In that sense, it can be said that only a few were on Earth.

It didn't make sense, so you didn't intervene more than you had to?

If this presumption is correct, then this is not the end of the intervention of the innumerable appearance.

And the hypothesis, second only to the hypothesis, is reinforced at a level close to certainty by the knowledge flowing in from "captivity of cause and effect".

That's not the end of it. This intervention undoubtedly has a continuation.

Wave the sword. There was a sense of vision in the mutilated kaonashi wound. As if it had been there. I know now.

It's not predictive. I didn't look forward to the future. I'm looking at the experience I've already passed. I understand how I can best act.

Now I'll look like I'm making a move that's not commensurate with my level or experience.

I thought the path I had taken was like a rail distorted by the Prisoner of Cause and Effect, but that was a mistake. Come here, I realize that. No, I'm about to remember.

I am convinced that the existence that prepared this path is a completely different one.

"Tsuna!! Dangerous!!"

Almost at the same time Yuki screams, leaps.

The passage that stood until earlier collapsed. Beneath the collapsed passage is a space from which numerous kaonashi dragons invade. It's tough to get this many people who don't care what the hell they are. It'll take a lot of time, even if you don't get killed instantly.

Multiple kaonashi dragons flesh on me at the same time as they jump out into the aisle.

But for some reason there was no rush.... No, I was in a hurry, but at the same time I felt calm I was living together.

The other me, as if overlooking that, is just aware of the situation.

Because I know the path to follow.

"Ohhhhh!!"

- Action Skill.

- Skill Chain.

The shadow that suddenly jumped in fleshed into the kaonashi dragon, blowing every individual behind him.

It belongs to a fellow too familiar to wear metal claws on both hands and feet and leave countless claw marks like dancing.

"Gaul......"

"I'm here to pick you up too late. Even so, there are four of them... only three and one."

-5-

Looking back, I saw Tilia and Moyer joining the war. Beyond it is a different figure compared to Kaonashi...... there is a chimera. No, that might be me counting as a person, but I wouldn't bother to say it again...

"Hmm? I'm not surprised. Did Dirk tell you the story?

"Ah... no, it's nothing"

Somewhere, the consciousness that was flying into another world was clear.

I realize you're in the middle of a battle, but you're staying in a feeling so vain. Extremely dangerous.

"You guys, where are you from?

"There's a separate communication corridor for the staff. narrow because it's for humans but rolled in the opposite direction"

Apparently, there was another passage along this passage. It's totally for staff and not even on the map, but let's get some info from the second and come through. Look, some of the walls are open.... Sure, I can't get through a dragon giant with this.

Nevertheless, narrowness would not have a unilateral advantage in a place full of dragons that would come to destroy the floor.

"Get together once! Disable this Kaonashi dragon before moving!!"

I don't know what to do. It's a lot of stand-up people, but it's easy to collaborate with members who have partied all the way here.

Even if not, a simple increase in maneuvers will lead to increased combat power. The addition of Tilia, a pure tank, has often allowed Sky Dragon and Clarice to come forward. Kaonashi dragons crawling out of the basement also stopped in a short amount of time.

"Mr. Leader. I'll take the lead, please."

Even if the Kaonashi Dragon organization disappears, there is no difference in the situation where the face blinks and the Kaonashi appears uninterrupted.

Tilia will set up at the entrance to the contact corridor to secure the exit. I'll take the lead and go down the aisle.

"I've got this from Dr. Ladine."

And, after a paragraph, they handed me something from the Moyer that was behind me.

"Earplugs?

"It's a high-output communications machine. For ear use only, it will be amplified to send and receive wherever you put it on."

Apparently, he pulled it out to cope with a situation where he couldn't communicate. We're on our way to the shelter, and Werner and the others are on their way to the rescue. Certainly more versatile than the Mindset, which only Dilk can use if it's a communications machine.

'This is Ladine. Looks like you're safe.'

"Oh. We're pretty close to Kugelschreiber. Do you receive information sharing from Dirk?

'It's hard to believe, but Dasan is. It's time for you to return, Dirk. "

... What is he really? Don't come back from a brain burn in a few hours. No, I appreciate the comeback itself.

Then we shall supplement it to the status quo, including Mr Glenn's situation.

'Neither was its Mr Glenn, but those protecting him at the shelter were also found impossible to recover. The damage is also spreading over time, and there is a risk that it will not be possible to launch itself while awaiting recovery. I can't, but I plan to call you back immediately...'

It is a judgment that can be described as frivolous, but it is understandable that there is no choice.

On an optimistic note, it would be possible for Werner and Mr. Ligres to endure the few days required for a round trip. Dammus must know something's going on over here, so he's probably already on his way. It is also possible that within a few days the effects of "Name-Takeover Realm" will expire.

In the present situation, it would not be difficult to endure just a few days. … although the situation continues as it is and the assumption is that the Imperial Dragon will not be defeated.

"The Kugelschreiber will be ready for launch in about thirty minutes. Seems tough to wait individually... can we make it?

"You don't seem to have much room, but you don't seem to be able to"

Distance and time to manage even with enemies at similar densities until now.

"As an insurance policy, all small boats except Bog are unloaded. In the worst case scenario, get on it and break into the corridor. You just don't have a track record, and theoretically you should be able to reach the labyrinth city. One plane, but some are already ahead of us."

I'd like to avoid it if possible, but having insurance just helps. Worst case scenario, I was supposed to travel by myself.

That corridor that connects the world has little time lapse, just like a dungeon. If we can get into it quickly, we'll be able to contact the labyrinth city faster than that time.

"... bad. Ladine, we may not make it."

But this is how something happened while we were talking.

"What happened, whoa!!"

Passages for humans. There's no space for dragons to act, but it's never narrow. Even if we line up next to each other, there's room for about five of us. There is pressure because most of one side of the wall is buried in a flock of faces. I was proceeding with that face and the white hand that was stretching out of it cleaving.

In the meantime, there is unnaturally an open space in front of you. The floors, walls and ceilings remain uneven.

At the center of it, there was a nanny like a group of faces waiting for us.

"Ha, ha, hajimemasite? Konnichiwa or Kombangwa?

As usual, the source of the utterance is unknown, but its nani is releasing the word as if it had an unlimited appearance at first. Of course the target will be us on the front.

It doesn't mean no questions asked. It would be helpful if you could avoid the fight with words, but I don't even think of you as the one to allow it.

Be utmost vigilant and put into battle at all times. It is behind us to react to Ladine's voice heard from earplugs. But the mysterious anomaly kept the word going regardless of our reaction.

"The eagle, the infinite smallest unit, the small thing, the Nirvana silence, the whole thing. eagle, you ni interested al '

I don't strike them indiscriminately like Kaonashi, I understand and relate to the existence of us.

Oh, I get it. This is specially made. Apart from the countless faces, I guess it's an individual that can be called part of the innumerable appearance.

I'm afraid of that evidence. I'm more scared than Kaonashi's Wu Long General and others. It also feels like freezing cold permeates the core of your body and takes away the temperature in your body.

"... is this the second stage of robbery?"

"Ihih, Ihih, direct collection of the foolish ducks who cannot understand the honor of being part of the Lord, Sulu, Sulu"

You can't just ignore me and let me through. I'm not going to. Is that what they all feel, they went into a combat position to surround them.

The anomaly swells. As if to free the 10,000 faces that had been trapped so that they could be torn from the inside out.

"I know you, eagle, il. I'll be the Ikenier of the Lord, and I'll be the loser.

"... I hear there's an insanity about not getting your hands on the prisoners of cause and effect who exist."

For once, I'll try to put it in my mouth in a clear mix, but I don't think this guy with no meaning is moving according to the rules. I'm sorry if they say I'm the only one who misses it.

"You, Watanabetuna, prisoner, I know. Interests Nye '

"What?"

"Interested Al is Sole... Its Tabenokosi... Name, Namae, Namae Al"

Not me? But I'm the only one who seems to have anything to do with these guys...

"Soo, Tilia, for sure. Tiliatiel. You, Recovery Srl '
