Dual Dispatch to a Nameless World

Kang Geon used two Nameless World Dispatch Tickets at the same time. The targets: Hedgehog Summoner God and one Iris. Since they were general dispatch tickets rather than specified ones, they were sent to random worlds—but because he activated the tickets without any time gap, the two ended up in the same world once again.

From the Iris feed, Hedgehog's size hadn't changed much from before. Fortunately, it seemed its Ancient Labyrinth form was its true size.

The Iris filming Hedgehog slowly rose into the sky to capture the dispatched world's scenery.

Iris emerged from the coniferous forest and ascended high into the sky. It overlooked the world below, taking in the scenery at a glance. Endless green plains stretched out. Towering giant ferns reached for the heavens. Mountain ranges rose on the horizon, volcanoes spewing black smoke along the ridges. Nothing but the breath of pure nature filled the world. No trace of civilization anywhere.

With that, Iris shot up even higher—to outer space beyond the planet.

As Rise said, this world was a dud. Without intelligent beings capable of conversation, he couldn't install a Dimensional Altar.

"Iris. You sure there are no sapients?"

"...Yeah, nothing we can do then."

It was a bit disappointing, but the tickets weren't that precious. General dispatch tickets were plentiful anyway, and they weren't expensive.

"Just think of this dispatch as a vacation for the kids."

"Stop parroting me. For now, descend and regroup with Hedgehog."

Iris descended rapidly, arriving back at the original spot soon after. Hedgehog hadn't moved—but it hadn't been idle either.

It had summoned two SS-grade undead spirits and was making them dance the Duumba. For reference, the spirits' sizes hadn't changed from their Ancient Labyrinth summons either.

After regrouping with Hedgehog, Iris reported that there was nothing for them to do in this world and suggested enjoying a vacation. Hearing this, Hedgehog's eyes sparkled as it bounced its butt five times.

The SS-grade spirits' expressions darkened. Unlike the others, these two still hadn't adapted to the Duumba. Forcing them to dance 24 hours straight would be torture. Not that he pitied them—they'd tried to toy with and kill Hedgehog in the Abyss. Hedgehog seemed to harbor a grudge too, working the spirits extra hard.

Iris flatly refused and turned away. It floated leisurely in one direction.

Iris seemed to read his mind. He'd been curious about the local wildlife anyway. The earlier aerial view hadn't caught any creatures.

Iris accelerated away from Hedgehog. After about five minutes, when Hedgehog was out of sight—

Thud! Thud! Thud!

A heavy rumble echoed nearby, like an earthquake. Iris halted.

Iris's gaze shifted smoothly, capturing a massive creature on screen.

"What the—a dinosaur?"

"Not a drake—just a plain old dinosaur. Threat level's only D-grade."

It wasn't particularly low or high—just appropriate for its massive bulk. D-grade meant it could shrug off gunfire, but that didn't make weak guns always ineffective. Careless D-grades got tagged plenty. Unless the body itself was the defense (pure physical types), special ability users needed shields up or active dodging to block bullets. Mages died to headshots if unconscious and shieldless. Even physical types had weak points—training every inch was tough.

Oh, and Elemen西亚 had guns too, though few mainlined them.

Anyway, this D-grade dinosaur didn't flee from Iris. Low IQ aside, it lacked instinctual threat assessment. Probably just sized up threats by bulk: big = dangerous, small = weak.

The dinosaur lowered its head slightly, eyeing Iris closely. Its face twisted—like it'd seen something hideous, expression rotting instantly.

Did it want to swat away the ugly thing? The dinosaur pulled back its head and swung its massive tail at Iris.

Of course, the tail never connected.

Ziiing!

Iris reacted instantly, firing a beam that severed the tail.

Thud!

The heavy tail crashed to the ground. Simultaneously, Iris's beam sliced off all four legs.

Legless, the dinosaur roared in agony, collapsing with earth-shaking force. Iris flew right up to its face for a stare-down.

A chilling voice emanated from Iris's body.
