＜Infinite Dendrogram＞

■ Royal City Fourth Floor Corridor

The fourth floor of the royal castle is a royal living space.

Therefore, various condiments are also placed in the hallway, lined with paintings, ornamental plants and even stunningly shaped armor.

In such a hallway stood an integral alternate.

(This is the thirteenth place. Have you finished crushing the coarse wiring?)

The kind of man who mixed people with bats with blue and black skin and wing film - [Wespertiglio Idea] thing [Surprise King] Motor squeaked so in his heart, pulling his own wing hand out of the wall.

His role is to crush the castle's defense equipment by cutting off the wiring. For him, who acquired magic detection abilities through the modification of La Crima, it can be felt even by meditating on the wiring of magical defenses.

(... [Flaming King] and [Raging King] 's grandfather combine to attract security, so it's easy)

The motor that thinks so was only in his thirties.

(But this castle's defenses aren't moving properly... that's excessive. It was my place of work. It's a good fight.)

Thinking that way, the motor looked back on what was once

The motor was a successful hunter in Cardina until a few months ago.

It's a business of raiding, killing, and depriving people of what they've got by exploring and achieving brilliant results.

Without anyone knowing, instantly annihilate and take the target away. He was an extremely smart usurper.

But it also marked the end of it by targeting [vessel god] Rascal.

An ambush was sensed and made into a hive in an instant.

Motor trembled at Rascal, who looked down at himself falling down in a tattooed position, and at the maid who deployed countless weapons like a hare next to him.

I'm sure that wasn't just the shock and wound pain caused by the blood loss.

But Todome wasn't stabbed. Because Rascal forced me to make one choice when I realized that the motor was a super position.

"Die here, quit humans, or choose. I recommend the former".

But the motor chose the latter.

I choose to live if I want to die or live. If you live to be enslaved, you have an opportunity.

Rascal applied the treatment to the motor that replied so and later handed it over to La Crima.

Under La Crima, the motor was reborn into a rehabilitator, and now he is raiding the royal castle of the Kingdom of Alter as [Wespertiglio Idea].

(But you were right when this happened. I've eaten it by the looks of it, but this power isn't bad. I feel more fulfilled than when I became [King of Surprise].)

Motors could feel it wielding power on the stage called this royal castle.

The cramped shell of man is removed, and the sense of almightiness satisfies the spirit of the motor.

I see something I didn't see. I can do things I couldn't do.

Such a sense of liberation occupies his spirit.

(But I wonder what. This guy...)

But I also have questions because I can see them.

As far as the motor detects, there are up to three giant magical reactions in this castle.

One is a companion [King of Fire]...... [Ignis Idea].

But I don't know the other two.

One is that the concurrent super position of something smaller than [Ignis] has been overtaken and is still immobilized at a point in the castle.

The other is that the magic reaction is expanding and shrinking repeatedly. This one was moving slowly to the fourth floor of the castle.

He told Zeta this before entering, and Zeta instructed him to head for a strange reaction that continued to expand and shrink while crushing equipment.

Following that instruction, he's on the fourth floor now.

……

As he was heading for that reaction while continuing to detect, the motor accidentally glanced down… in a certain direction on the ground floor.

(Has [The Vicious King] 's grandfather died? The item box in your body smashed when you saw the slightest amount of magical reaction being scattered. Well, I would have used that hand if I was going to kill you too)

Understanding the history of his fellow defeat, the motor sighs without sound.

He knows not only the death of [Alanea], but also that [Ignis] was imprisoned by the kingdom.

But I wasn't going to go rescue that.

It's a fire across the shore for me that I haven't found yet, and I haven't received any orders.

Above all, for motors, the top priority is their survival.

In addition, even orders would have been renounced and escaped, assuming there was a means to be free.

Although it was impossible because it was collared at this point in time.

(Base, we're experimental animals. There are as many design errors as there are. [General Worm] 's idiot is out of the question, but even [King of Fire] 's grandfather, who has become the strongest of us, will die soon if he lumps [MP Booster (like that)])

The motor was also familiar with the equipment [Ignis] had loaded in his body because he was businessman hunting in.

(La Crima's psycho bastard doesn't have much knowledge of biology or medicine, even if he has the power to modify humans as he thought. It's just a mixture of humans, monsters and items with the power of Embrio. So I can't do it somewhere)

As long as we have the material, it's the idea < Super Embrio > to automatically modify the human body just the way La Crima wants it.

Even if the knowledge and skill of the process is not in La Crima, Idea has it.

That's why we can mass-produce a modified human being called a remodeler.

However, even if there is a problem with La Crima's desired modification, it can be said to be a disadvantage due to the fact that it will be finished to run.

(The more powerful the Phantom, the greater the risk of self-destruction. It will be so much so that you have excessive fighting power)

In that regard, the motor was relieved by its own modification.

Notably, there are two things: the ability to detect magic and the ability to generate ignored space. In addition, lower flight capacity.

Because it was a relatively suppressive eye mechanism, no glitches have yet been found either.

(Is it just me and those guys who can call it success? No, to say those guys are successful too,......?

The motor drops its gaze downstairs again.

([Flaming King] 's grandfather, what are you going to do?

There was a huge movement in the magical reaction of [the Flaming King], who was imprisoned in the junction, and he was detecting it.

Shortly after I tried to explore the meaning of the movement, the whole castle rocked heavily.

"... chip"

Until then, the motor, who was silent because he was active while erasing the signs, also struck his tongue.

(That grandpa, what are you really going to do)

Though tongue-beating with that in mind was really a trivial sound......

The next moment - the sword swung down at him

……

The motor reflexively jumps away and dodges that sword.

But while I do, I get confused.

(What? You weren't supposed to be there, nothing. There was no magic response, no knight appearance. Is that like Zeta's optical camouflage? He said he did it... what the hell was that?)

Doubt and thought run at high speeds, but it is blocked by what is perceived in sight.

The look of the thing that was waving his sword down where he stood.

He was watching it.

I was watching.

It was a decorated armor in the hallway.

The armor that was decorated the hallway of the castle is moving out on its own.

(... Was it like a golem? No, there were no shards of magic reactions)

That's not all.

The armor swells up as it changes shape.

Eventually, over its head, the name [Massachul Armor] - the monster name is represented.

'... what is this? Huh!?'

Immediately after that whine the motor flies reflexively again.

Shortly after, the wall behind him (...) was biting where he was.

The wall is labeled a huge mouth with fangs - [Big Mouse Wall].

Change still doesn't stop.

The ornamental plant deforms into a form as if it were an instrument of torture and becomes a [Torcher Plant].

The framed painting laughed and was renamed [Scream Picture].

Something that was just there, but not a human or a monster, turns into a monster with an evil appearance and hits the motor.

"... a ton. A monstrous mansion, this castle."

Too bad a hobby for a defensive device, or was it the work of < Embrio >, so deep down, the motor suddenly entered the battle with the monster that emerged.

But he doesn't know.

That wasn't defense equipment or anything, it was really just armor, walls, ornamental plants and paintings.

He still doesn't know what the horrible things are that have turned them into monsters.

□ Royal Castle underground evacuation area

At the end of the hall where the Kingsguard Knights made it their final line of defense, behind the staircase leading to the basement is an evacuation section of the Royal Castle.

Elizabeth and the others were heading further down the aisle in the evacuation section.

The number of adults exceeds ten but there is no obstacle to mobility. The underground passage of the evacuation compartment is wide and the ceiling is high, but there is just room that seems easy to get through.

It is the belly of First Princess Ultimia who leads the group, the Marquis of Findle, who divides the intelligence of the kingdom.

Also, the accompanying six Kingsguard knights are moving to protect Elizabeth and Tsanron, Migliane, and their samurai.

"We're here. Start by caging in this shelter and waiting for the enemy to retreat."

When the leading Marquis of Findle said so, he approached the thick door that was at the end of the path and operated the touch panel on the wall.

Then the door opened with a heavy mechanical sound, little by little the wide space ahead...... the deepest shelter appeared.

"This... is a robust make"

Tsanron shrugged as he watched the shelter.

The shelter was constructed on a natural underground cavity, which is covered with a thick metal shelter and completely separated from the ground.

In addition, we do not have trouble with the water because we are fetching water sources under the Royal Castle, and food is also abundantly stockpiled by a type of item box that reduces aging to the extreme. It is also possible to cage until rescue arrives.

It is the safest place in the royal castle under attack.

"This is the first time I've been here."

"I wouldn't use it if it weren't for times like this. There are a handful of opponents, and it seems possible to repel them if the < Master > under the castle rushes. Alternatively, we may also be looking at the cage castle until the return of those who were headed to the harmony conference…"

"Hinan...... I wonder where Theresia is..."

"Sir Grandria is searching. This shelter also has surveillance camera equipment, so if Sir Grandria could bring His Highness Teresia, I would understand. Then open the door."

"Hey, I don't know..."

"Sir Grandria is the strongest knight in our country today. Don't worry about it."

While answering the words of the anxious girls, in his heart the Marquis of Findle was frightened by the danger of the situation.

There have been reports that one of the thieves is the [Flaming King]. Super Position... It's also a super position that has acquired unusual powers. In the opponent, you can't be optimistic or anything.

(Most of the kingdom's < super > and rankers are absent. I wish Lord Figaro had at least not gone to the pageant, but there are no reports yet that he has returned from that world. The location of Lord Laylay and the newly joined Lord Hannya is also unknown.... luckily during my misfortune is that Lord Xunyu was there for me)

Boys and girls evacuated here while the Marquis of Findle protected them. Xuan Yu, who was with them, remained on the ground for the intruder's interception.

At this point, he is fighting the death of [Bandit King] Zeta in the hallway of the Royal Castle.

(If I knew this would happen... Failure to detect the raid on the castle was my impropriety in keeping intelligence. You have to take responsibility for the malfunction after the incident...)

The look on the face of Marquis Findle who thinks so is hard.

I feel responsible for failing to grasp this move beforehand.

The current situation that is endangering the royal family while the Lord is away, not to mention guests from other countries. It's a state of regret but not remorse.

(And again, you have to think about enrolling the Master in the intelligence department. Or maybe that will be my last job...... But more than that, we have to protect His Highness and Prince Tsanron now.)

With that in mind, the Marquis of Findle will move the operating board in the shelter to operate the internal equipment, including air conditioning, etc.

Tsanron, who was watching such a work of the Marquis of Findle, whines as he realizes something.

"Was this subterranean compartment, possibly before the Royal Castle was built?

"Do you understand?"

"Yes, the castle on the ground was designed with an emphasis on life and aesthetics, but the construction is too martial in the basement. In addition, the kingdom's facilities… it also seems to have a lot of machinery and equipment hundreds of years ago."

To Tsanron's words, the Marquis of Findle nods.

"It's on the left. This subterranean compartment was built before the first king built the King's capital here."

The Marquis of Findle begins to talk about the history of this underground facility, wondering if talking could alleviate the anxiety of the youngsters at all.

"Once upon a time there was a capital of another country in the land where this king capital was. The name of the capital is Industry Capital. It's the capital of the invading nation of Adraster, led by Rockefell Adraster."

It is a great conqueror famous for history.

It is the name of [the King of Champions], who is said to have made it the strongest tian in history and dominated the western half of the continent by its force.

"It seems that this subterranean section was built as a fortress installation in the battle of the capital, which was extremely robust and could not be dismantled, so they used it as it was and built a new castle on it," he said.

"So that's a lot of mechanical technology."

"Exactly."

[The King] ruled the western half of the continent (except Legendary, which was an alliance relationship).

Therefore, the invading state Adraster had also acquired the mechanical technology that would pass on to the current drife, he said.

"Though Kaka [the King] built the capital here, he disappeared from history within a few years and a few years. But the capital remained in the land, and it was fought many times over in a bloody war accompanied by the division of the invading nation of Adraster."

At the end of the war that divided the continent between East and West, [the reigning king], who was leading the invading nation, disappeared somewhere.

The invading nations then broke down in the air by the powerful and fought over each other.

And the land was the throne, and all the forces seized the capital, not only to say that it was proof of the succession of [the king].

In the process, the largest city of its kind at the time was devastated, with the exception of underground facilities.

"But eventually… the land will eventually be ruled by a certain figure"

"It's..."

Perhaps the people of the kingdom are more famous than any stranger, like stories that are passed down to other countries...... true stories.

A mighty being who once terrorized the world more than this land and a record of overthrow.

That is......

"That is the one, [Evil God]. This land was once crusaded by the First King and his companions as [the evil god] 's… final dwelling house"
