Techni-dilaton (TD) was proposed long ago in the technicolor (TC) near criticality/conformality. To reveal the critical behavior of TD, we explicitly compute the nonperturbative contributions to the scale anomaly $<\theta^\mu_\mu>$ and to the techni-gluon condensate $$, which are generated by the dynamical mass m of the techni-fermions. Our computation is based on the (improved) ladder Schwinger-Dyson equation, with the gauge coupling $\alpha$ replaced by the two-loop running one $\alpha(\mu)$ having the Caswell-Banks-Zaks IR fixed point $\alpha_*$: $\alpha(\mu) \simeq \alpha = \alpha_*$ for the IR region $m < \mu < \Lambda_{TC}$, where $\Lambda_{TC}$ is the intrinsic scale (analogue of $\Lambda_{QCD}$ of QCD) relevant to the perturbative scale anomaly. We find that $-<\theta^\mu_\mu>/m^4\to const \ne 0$ and $/m^4\to (\alpha/\alpha_{cr}-1)^{-3/2}\to\infty$ in the criticality limit $m/\Lambda_{TC}\sim\exp(-\pi/(\alpha/\alpha_{cr}-1)^{1/2})\to 0$ ($\alpha=\alpha_* \to \alpha_{cr}$) ("conformal edge"). Our result precisely reproduces the formal identity $<\theta^\mu_\mu>=(\beta(\alpha)/4 \alpha) $, where $\beta(\alpha)=-(2\alpha_{cr}/\pi) (\alpha/\alpha_{cr}-1)^{3/2}$ is the nonperturbative beta function corresponding to the above essential singularity scaling of $m/\Lambda_{TC}$. Accordingly, the PCDC implies $(M_{TD}/m)^2 (F_{TD}/m)^2=-4<\theta_\mu^\mu>/m^4 \to const \ne 0$ at criticality limit, where $M_{TD}$ is the mass of TD and $F_{TD}$ the decay constant of TD. We thus conclude that at criticality limit the TD could become a "true (massless) Nambu-Goldstone boson" $M_{TD}/m\to 0$, only when $m/F_{TD}\to 0$, namely getting decoupled, as was the case of "holographic TD" of Haba-Matsuzaki-Yamawaki. The decoupled TD can be a candidate of dark matter.
