[< UBM > [Grievance Cow Horse Gozmaize] has been crusaded]

[[Ray Sterling] has been elected MVP]

[Giving [Ray Sterling] an MVP Benefit [Purple Grievance Runaway Gods Maize]]

"Right..."

[Gozmaize] 's body became a little bit of dust of light, and the same format of announcement appeared in the window as when [Gardranda] was defeated to ensure the destruction of [Gozmaize]... but I'm not at that point.

Because we're in the middle of a fall from 40 meters above ground - the height of [Gozmaize] 's head.

This would also happen if the head that was piercing the great sword was gone.

What's more, my body doesn't move either.

To beat [Gozmays], he activated Reversal Like a Flying Flag by a slightly unscrupulous means.

Thanks to the buff effect of the state anomaly reversal that I gained, I was able to exert more power than I could and defeat him.

However, as in the case of [Gardranda], the skill will be removed if the weapon is changed or the enemy, [Gozmaize], is crusaded.

I'm the one left with all the abnormalities.

In addition to the state anomalies based on "Hell's Qi" such as [Violent], [debilitating] and [intoxicating] in the status window, the state anomalies caused by the consumption of [Gozmaize] meat such as [Curse] and [Food poisoning] are also visible.

If you eat undead meat, you deserve it.

Even after the reversal was lifted, I managed to move my body until I activated Revenge, but not anymore.

It doesn't even work with Pickle.

This minute, in a few seconds, I can't even get passive and beat to the ground.

Being able to withstand the current HP and physical situation is another dangerous bet.

"Nanjosan!

As I closed my eyes and stretched my immobile body to the impact I would visit...... I touched the unnaturally lighter feeling.

First the first time, then the second.

After two gentle swings...... my body was rolling to the ground.

If I opened my fearful lid, there was a silver artificial horse beside me - a silver figure.

Silver looks down on this one worryingly, just like I did when I first went down.

Apparently, Silver caught me gently falling and dropped me off to the ground.

I wasn't sure how I did it with the horse.

"Ha... thanks, Silver"

Silver is not an organism, and he doesn't have a mouth, so he doesn't ring, but instead of responding, he rubbed his nose tip on my cheek.

The trick was like a real horse.

He also helped me fight [the Great Necromancer] and track down [Gozmaize], and Silver is a credit for this one.

Besides, if it weren't for the hands of both hands, [Gardranda, the armor of the hand]... I might not have won if I hadn't dreamed of that dream.

Besides... there's a guy who helped me out more physically than anyone else.

"Thank you, nemesis. If you hadn't done your best, it would have been over."

If it weren't for Nemesis, if you hadn't bought me some time while I was passing out, I would have been pushed to death penalty early...... that [gozmaize] would have attacked someone.

It wasn't because of the nemesis.

So I wanted to convey my gratitude...

"…………………… ZZ"

I was asleep.

"But do you sometimes get tired and faint?," "I've been pretty unscrupulous this time, and you feel the limit has come?" The questions are endless.

There are other things I'd like to say about sleeping in the form of a weapon, and what happens to status correction as a weapon when I sleep.

But... whatever.

"Good day, Nemesis"

Nemesis went inside the crest of his left hand as soon as he disarmed his gear.

Speaking of me, I kept my HP with my healing magic skills while I couldn't move, and when my body started to move, I tried to alleviate the condition anomaly with the item in my hand.

Since there were some failures in the morning, I was able to quickly recover from the [poisonous], [debilitating], and [intoxicating] I received corresponding recovery items when shopping.

[Food poisoning] healed after taking a detoxification item after vomiting several times and the symptoms became lighter.

The remaining [curse] had disappeared at some point while fixing other state anomalies as well.

There was no monster raid while [Gozmaize] was focused on healing whether it was a recoil that was raging, and slowly the status on the surface could be restored to full healing.

That said, that's just a status story.

He is mentally and physically exhausted long after entering the fort and finishing his battle with [Gozmaize].

It would be under 60% of the usual if HP were full but in terms of performance.

I don't think Nemesis can fight either.

Incidentally, I check the MVP reward equipment acquired from [Gozmays].

[Gozmays] 's MVP perks are boots made of purple metal and leather material - I don't think it's human leather - as the name [Purple Grievance A] suggests, and this is what the description in the window looked like.

[Purple grudge walking armor gozmaize]

Anecdotal Martial Arts (Episode Arms)

"?

That's the first thing I did when I looked at the status screen.

[Gardranda] was an Epic Armor, but how is it different?

I was curious to find out in the help window and went to the item "Rank of MVP Benefits”.

They didn't when I checked the help items around here before, so they got more at some point.

Perhaps it was already there when I acquired the [armor].

... I knew it was a problem not to let you know with more help.

Now, the key piece of help is the MVP perks you get from the Crusade, and there are several levels of rank in UBM itself.

They are mainly set by the strength and threat of < UBM > and are set like this in order from the bottom up.

< Anecdotal (episode) >

Legendary

< Ancient Epic (Enchanted Legendary) >

Mythology

Super (Superior)

There were two doubts about this explanation.

One is the rank of my two MVP perks.

[Ghozmaize] should have been a stronger enemy than [Gardranda], even based on the increased power of this battle.

However, the rank is higher in ["Armor"], and the number of status-corrected ascending values and unique skills is excellent.

I felt like “he” knew something about this.

Because he said of himself, "The power that was not used, the life and intelligence that was born."

However, I tried to speak to the [armor] of both hands, but neither Un said Sung.

I found out that they still have the will in their example dreams, but they can't utter words in real life.

I notice it here.

In the same way that [Gardranda] thinks, [Gozmaize] will still have the will, he said.

…………

It's starting to seem like a curse gear at once... but I don't think there's any such will left in [Purple Grievance Gone A].

It's just a hunch, but I didn't feel wrong at all as to why.

If you dare to line up your reasoning, you can no longer feel resentment at this... "all you had was resentment" [Gozmaize] about what's left of the contents, etc.

The next question I questioned was the top of the rank.

I felt like dying in [Gozmaize], the UBM at the bottom.

Conversely, the UBM equivalent of the top is far more dangerous.

is likely to have something to do with super positions (super job) or < super (super) embrio > by name......

Mr. Figaro, a super position and user of Super Embrio, might know something.

But at any rate, I don't want to meet UBM for a while, which falls into that rank.

Well, I'll make my reasoning about rank around there and see if I can find out about my skills.

"Resentment Conversion" is a minor change in [Gozmaize] 's resentment motivation.

They can absorb and store ambient resentment and convert it to SP and MP.

Depending on the occasion, it seems user-friendly.

I thought it might be part of the feature. It doesn't have that self-repair ability.

... I got scared when I thought about doing my own repair that would grow even if my hands and feet were cut a thousand times. Is this okay?

There is another skill in [Purple Grievance A].

Skills that you would have gained from that being a human horse, The Human Horse as a whole.

That effect adds 1 to the Horseback Riding level.

Let's repeat.

Horseback riding level plus 1.

"Now I can ride silver!

I was so impressed that I screamed.

This is really good stuff.

It's what I need right now... because now I don't have to play a watersport disputed bend on Silver anymore.

Incidentally, other corrections of 10% of the Horseback Riding skill level have an effect on AGI when riding horses.

This is also good...... I guess this is the main effect of the Humane Horse Damn skill.

However, I would have appreciated the accompanying effect because I had to start with riding.

Thus, I ride in silver and follow Hugo and his carriages back to Gideon.

Silver kicking the ground with pacara pacara and lightly hooves.

I was a little impressed not to be shaken off while riding such silver.

Well, I'm on it and sometimes I realize it.

I've ridden horses in real life, but the feeling of riding silver, an artificial horse, is a little different.

In senses, it's not a creature, it's a big bike... no, it's more like it's crossing a rocket.

I guess that's what silver makes you feel like being a machine and the strength that comes from the hips you put on through the saddle.

The ride is very comfortable and I safely leave Silver on my way to Gideon.

I hope I can rendezvous with the Hugo's somewhere by the time I get home.

"... n?

Sole leaks a voice of doubt in a space where countless information windows emit blue and white light.

Sole seemed like a human adult male at first glance.

But if you look closely, the skin of the sole changes to a leather that resembles scales and beasts that are all similar to dragons, and there are demon-stained horns growing on the head. It was more like a dragon man, a beast man, or even a monster similar to a person than a human being, but it was a critical human impression thanks to the glasses on his face.

Sole was checking for crusade information for one of the tasks imposed, < UBM > every certain hour.

Sole's role in a system called < Infinite Dendrogram > is certified by < UBM >.

< UBM > is the generic name of a monster that possesses unusual strength and abilities, but its ultimate feature is to transform itself into an MVP perk when defeated.

There are also many strong individuals and individuals with special abilities in Boss Monsters that are not < UBM >.

When they are defeated by people or other monsters, they leave behind [treasure chests] defined by the system, or items that they possessed during their lifetime.

But the MVP benefits left by UBM are completely different from those.

< UBM > The ability he possessed and the image he built… that is, embodies the concept of < UBM > in an adjusted way to the most successful in the crusade.

Not strength or ability.

That change is the biggest feature of UBM.

I don't inherently share that nature as a monster.

However, if the administrative AI that manages < UBM > within this < Infinite Dendrogram > certifies that the individual is < UBM >, it will be granted the property to turn into an MVP benefit after death.

And it was Sole, who was working on countless windows in this space, who was the management AI - Javawok - who handled the certification, nature granting, and even the "design" of some UBMs.

"Ray Sterling. It's a player name I saw yesterday on Earth time."

That was the name of the one who destroyed [Gardranda the Great Ghost] yesterday, which was low-level but “designed” by Javawok.

Javawok was a little surprised that that was not the case day after day as an MVP crusader for < UBM >.

There are many Javawok designs or certifications in the world.

However, there are not many MVP crusaders.

I can't take him down.

I can't meet him.

I can't be MVP.

Absolutely powerful man above all - hunts multiple < UBM > bodies.

Only a handful of top players can be < UBM > MVP crusaders, except those who were lucky enough to meet and defeat them.

In that, Ray's presence, who encountered < UBM > day after day and was destroying it both times with his own power at the end of a struggle, caught Javawok's interest.

"Interesting. If it's going to happen, I want you to take him down like he usually does. I am unhappy with the current situation of being hunted by work. He still defeats after struggle and drama and gains a treasure. That's what heroic epics are called."

Javawok nods to his words several times, conceiving.

"Will it be a tougher design from now on?"

That's how I meditate and think......

"- Let radiation heat rays throw up at the beginning of the hand. Like Goora."

"Stop."

When Javawok uttered a dangerous thought in every sense, there was a voice to respond.

Soon, a cat-shaped mascot sat in the space behind Javawok.

Cat-shaped mascot - Management AI No. 13 Chesha utters the word as she warms herself up to Jessche, who shakes her head with the thought of "Oh man, you're in trouble".

"The only thing that's strong is letting it out in disaster. I don't need it likely to evolve regularly. How hard do you think I've had with my two previous irregular cases? [Corpse Fortress] is Humpty's favorite. He and Gran Barroa's. But he struggled so hard, and [Disaster Weapon] How dare Redking still seal the space in" prison ”? It's us, Tian, and the players who struggle and handle the UBM you created, right?

"Familiar. So, what's the point, 13?"

"Oh, yeah, yeah. Monster Management AI... Message from Queen."

"What's in it?

"'What are you going to do with the earlier certification', 'cause"

"What do you want me to guess just because of that?

"I shortened it because it was an emotional and redundant text that kept the text, but it really looked like that person - Additionally, you just certified [Gozmaize] to < UBM > about the monster."

"Oh."

The information convinced Javawok.

"A few more branches say," If it's not natural, it's not me or your arrangement making, what are you going to do with certifying the artificial undead made with human art? "

"[Gozmaize] had interesting inherent abilities. Performance and birth episodes also apply well if they are anecdotal. Nor will a second [Gozmaize] ever arise in the future from the birth history"

So there's nothing wrong with < UBM >, Javawok continued.

"Right. Queen's complaining about her breed of improved boss monster's < UBM > certification is less healing."

"It's just work. How valuable and problematic is the management AI, such as not certifying me to < UBM >"

"... I just think you're being obstinate because you simply can't admit it. Well, no."

Chesha sighs, considering the bluntness in front of her and the relationship between a colleague named Queen.

"The design of No. 3 in the first place is good to say, Takeshi, or worse, lacking in ideas and development in one pattern. If that's the case, this [Gozmays] or the player's design proposal would be better suited to < UBM >."

"Queen is simply a long way away, hey...... now what?

Chesha sensed that there was something in Jabawok's words that she could not miss hearing.

"A player's design proposal, what?

"It means the way it is. It's from the example drife."

"... uh"

That's all I ask, and Chesha agrees.

If someone comes to mind, it's possible to do that... and create a monster that will catch Javawok's eye, too.

"Ray, I think you're gonna get caught up in this."

There is no basis. That's what you can call it.

However, it is due to the unknown computational ability of the management AI… it cannot be said that it is merely an account.

…………

Jabawok wondered a little bit about Chesha's whining having the names of the players he had been interested in until the beginning, but didn't respond particularly.

However, Chesha wondered about something related to what she squeaked herself about.

"Oh, yeah. Ray, I remember you. Hey, Jabberwock."

"Anything?"

"You were recently defeated by Ray [Gardranda the Great Ghost], weren't you?

"Oh."

"That one, what was going on when you became a complete body? It bothered me because I was defeated in the second form."

Inside, Chesha asked, thinking, "I didn't have a full body because I fell apart from my weakness."

Javawok's answer to that is:

"It was born"

It was too succinct.

"... sorry I'm not sure"

There are so many things that people can't predict when it comes to unpredictable computational abilities.

"That complete body is based on the combat experience that the Great Ghost has accumulated." What comes into being hits it. "

"Individual?

"No, one way or the other, the mother was a cover, and the child to be born was supposed to be a true [Gardranda]. He didn't make it."

It is a force that was not used, a life and intelligence that was born and lost.

Silhouette in Ray's dream - as [Gardranda], who is not my mother, told me.

Chesha heard it and convinced herself, "I knew my stomach was weak but was that the reason -".

"By the way, what kind of individual would you have been if you had been born?"

"My mother fought a lot with humans, and she preyed a lot. Probably would have been born in a human form."

"But you don't have a chance to give birth anymore."

"Oh, no."

With that answer, Javawok added in his heart, "However…".

(Depending on that last skill that you armored, I don't know.)

Depending on the content of the skills that have not yet been opened, it is possible that the birth loss will come out in some way.

But there is no precedent in that case that Javawok envisages, so I concluded that there would probably be none.

"Then I shall return to work"

"Yeah, I'm going to work, too."

Javawok broke up the conversation and turned back to the window where he was spitting out information about something.

Chesha also left Javawok's office and started running to another job.

To be continued
