＜Infinite Dendrogram＞

Episode Six: Insanity

□ Ray Sterling

My brother told me about the Tomb Labyrinth yesterday, three days ago in Infinite Dendrogram.

It was time for a short pause in shopping to get all the gear together.

"The biggest dungeon in this country is Kumar, inside the king's capital."

My brother told me about the proper level of novice hunting grounds around the King's Capital and so on before starting to talk to me to add.

"Inside the king's capital? What's that supposed to mean?

"In the basement of this king's capital lies Kumar, the largest of the Alter kingdoms known as the Tomb Mark Labyrinth, no, the largest dungeon on this continent sleeping.... By the way, there's a bear on the lower level with monsters that [Demidragworm] can't compare '

Me and Nemesis gazed at the words.

"This country can't be doomed before the war on Drife..."

"The Tomb Labyrinth is a divine dungeon bear. An internal monster never comes out of a dungeon, Bear. '

"God made dungeons?

The first time I ask a parrot back to the words I hear, my brother immediately begins to explain.

... You like to explain, brother.

There are two kinds of bears in the "Infinite Dendrogram." One is a natural dungeon. This is a 'what is not inherently a dungeon has been dungeoned under various circumstances' bear. Fighting that [Demidragworm] is a typical example, Bear.

Other nesting holes made by highly intelligent demons and fortifications attacked by demons are also included in natural dungeons, my brother says.

"The other is a god-made dungeon." Made as a dungeon in this world from the beginning, "Bear. I mean, dungeon bears made for operation. '

"Hmm?"

"There are three main differences with natural dungeons, bear. One, there is no outflow of monsters out of the dungeon '

Otherwise, you wouldn't be living in this king's capital.

"Two, Monsters Automatically Lipop Regardless of Ecosystem or Factor"

Lipop.

This world is not only about human personality and life, but also about monster ecosystems. A female male and breeding type of monster never springs up for no reason.

Apparently, monsters can also be too hunted and extinct to keep the dead Tian from resurrecting.

But the monsters in the Divine Dungeons are the exception, and they gush out inexhaustibly.

They also say it's normal for the undead to gush even though they don't have a body.

"Three, a boss monster is placed on every certain floor, and in addition to the drop, an extra reward is paid"

Just as monsters don't run out, so do treasures.

The deeper the hierarchy, the higher the grade of the treasure, and in the depths, one million lil is dropped as normal.

Something like boundless wealth, really?

"There are other divine dungeons, but this is about as easy to enter as a bear. When you see it as a game, you can say this is the biggest benefit of belonging to Alter Kingdom, Bear. The only condition for entry is that the item belongs to the Alter Kingdom.

So my brother cut the words once and said:

"That is also one of the reasons why Drife is after the Kingdom of Alter, just like fertile land. Drife can't get into the Tomb Labyrinth unless he knocks this country down."

From a drife standpoint, is the Kingdom of Alter like having a treasure trove with infinite amounts of money in it?

"You didn't move to your country of choice even after your brother got a clothing guru that could hide his appearance, and you continued to belong to the Kingdom of Alter also to explore the Tomb Labyrinth?

"I've barely been in there, bear."

It was an unexpected response.

"Why?"

"... after the fifth form, it's too big to be used in a dungeon."

…………

I know it's not like "It's too far, but it was a story that seemed to have advantages and disadvantages in everything.

And what's bigger than a tank, brother bear?

◇

And right now, me and Nemesis are exploring the Tomb Labyrinth.

Sometimes I thought it was dark because of the underground labyrinth, but unexpectedly the lights are on.

Apparently, they implant ore that emits light into the walls and ceilings of this labyrinth.

It shouldn't be fluorite because it keeps glowing in the dark... but it's a fantasy world and I guess there's as much wonder ore.

About three minutes down the stairs heading downstairs, we reached a flat cobblestone passage.

The width is quite wide and about ten people seem to be able to walk side-by-side.

By contrast, the ceiling is not that high. Big size, like my brother said, would catch me and make me unable to move.

I thought that stone walls and ceilings would break it and proceed, but if I tried to slash it, it wouldn't scratch one.

Apparently this dungeon is indestructible.

"I was anxious because it had a horrible name such as Tomb Labyrinth, but when I came in, it was a beautiful dungeon."

"Right. Maybe it's cleaned with some force."

Management at the hands of the operation may take precedence over the real world as regards this dungeon.

'I wondered what would happen in a cemetery on the ground, but there would be nothing wrong with this. They cut both monsters from one end to the other!

"But the monsters that come out of this hierarchy are all undead."

'.................. Huh?

I pointed to the back of the aisle.

Rumor it, shadow. At the end of the pointing, there was only a monster left over from the bones of a person wearing worn out clothes...

The name [Civil Skeleton] appears above the bone's head to prove it is a monster.

I don't have a weapon and come closer with my bare hands wide open and chattering.

I guess that citizen (Civil) is not originally a soldier or knight but a corpse of a citizen.

That said, it shouldn't be the body of the deceased because this monster in the divine dungeon pops naturally.

This is just a monster in a setting called Citizen Undead.

... Well, I guess [Skeleton] coming out of this dungeon is really someone's body.

But I never cared about it in any other game or comic book, but I'm obviously concerned about my joints being apart.

It is a mystery that there is nothing connected, such as muscles, and even though there are still gaps in the joints, they move in tandem normally.

In addition, [Skeletons] made of bone are too scary within < Infinite Dendrogram >, which boasts a quality unlike reality.

I hate it when it's too real to have slight red or yellow on my white bones after a little fluid dries up.

Only now do I think "I should have animated my vision choices".

…………

"Nemesis?"

…………

I'm not responding.

Apparently, you're losing your mind.

I cut him with nemesis from now on. I'll fight him...

"Do you want to do it?"

I was cut by [Skeleton] with the Nemesis of the Great Sword.

[Skeleton] extends the thin finger of just the bone this way, but crushes it across the arm and shoulder of the finger.

Then a full swing toward the head of [Skeleton] with the belly of the Great Sword pointed at it.

The head of [Skeleton] was crushed by a sword wielded like a blunt instrument.

He could take it down with that blow, and his experience comes in.

Experience is less than yesterday's wolf. It would be like that even if I told you from the response.

But as the information suggests, the monsters in the first tier seem to be as strong as the beginner hunting grounds. I can also level this up.

"... I wonder if I can do it without touching it a little bit more."

"What kind of fight is there other than slapping us right now?

I haven't mastered offensive magic, and I only have Nemesis skills in Defense's Counter Absorption and Contact Counter's Revenge.

I bought some consumer magic items, but they are also limited.

If we try to defeat our enemies, we still have to make melee physical attacks.

"That's right... it's mentally tough."

"[Skeleton] here would still be good"

Because it wasn't really monstered by someone's remains.

Then it may actually be surprisingly clean, even if it is creepy. It's dry and I made it.

"Mmmm... if you think about it, it's somewhat better"

"Yes, yes. Ah, the monster again..............."

……………………

Me and Nemesis lost words to the monster who showed up from the corner of the aisle.

The monster is still the same undead monster as [Skeleton].

But that monster was “fatter" than [Skeleton].

Because the rotten, maggoted flesh was stuck to the bone.

Some of the accompanying meat is missing, and body fluids of yellow or red and black colour drip from its cross section.

Boasting a sense of five-dimensionality that is different from reality, Infinite Dendrogram extraordinarily conveys even the unpleasant stench it produces.

And the monster's head is marked with the name [WOUND ZOMBIE].

Seeing an ugly monster like this in the world, the Seeker checks out the 1/1 D6 SAN......

"... Ha! My consciousness was flying to another game because of so much grossness!

Too much stuff showed up......

Well, there are [zombies] besides [skeletons] in the undead nest.

Unlike [Skeleton], who was quiet, [Zombie] approached us with a groan and dripping his body fluids with a flicker.

"Begin the battle?"

"Become!? I can't wait! I guess you're not willing to slay that one with me!? '

"... because that's a monster made out of this dungeon, not a dead man"

'No, no, no, no! I don't care how much you were born, I don't want to kill that awful thing!

"Nemesis"

Against the nemesis I seriously hate......
