二列に素早く横隊を組んだのは
石畳だった物が大量にワサワサと動き、それはさざ波の如く迫りくる。
「来るよッ! 【
「まさにゴキ○リみたいなやつだ。あいつら、数に任せてそのまま突進してくる気だぞ!」
親友たちが構えるなか、直径1メートル程の平たい石生物たちが物凄いスピードで地面を這って来る。こちらの陣営と正面衝突が起きる前に、俺は『空踊る
フゥの豪風がなびけば、平たい虫たちは次々とめくれ上がっていき、その突進力を一時的に失う。それも数瞬で、後ろから次々とひっくり返った同胞を乗り越えカサカサと猛進は止まらない。
しかし、それで十分。少しの時間稼ぎで俺は自身の指から導き糸を伸ばし、ブルーホワイトたんと繋がる。そして俺の指先の動きに応じて彼女のお口がパカリと開く。
物理系の防御力が高そうな相手にはこれに限る。

火花の煌めきが残った空間に落ちた俺は反撃に備え、すぐさま『
街並みの一画、それらを変革するアビリティはかなり強力で大きな防波堤を築きあげる。
これにて『地殻の巨獣アースガルド【一本角】』と融合した恩恵のMP700は全部使い尽くしてしまったけれど、みんなの戦闘態勢が整うまでの時間稼ぎはできたと思う。
流れたログに素早く目を通せば、やっぱり期待通りの結果だ。
新素材かつ、これは......化石じゃないか!?
『失落世代の懐中時計』で新たな遺伝子を吸収できるし、融合化のレパートリーが増えるのには大歓喜だ!
「やった! やっぱり新素材のドロップだ! みんなも早く倒すといいよ!」
背後へと満面の笑みで振りかえれば、全員が唖然とした表情でボケッとこちらを見つめていた。
こうして俺達は石生物と全面衝突した。

「姉、こっちは大丈夫!」
「エル、生きてる~」
序盤は好調な滑り出しで、石生物を圧倒できた。
しかし、奴らは無限に沸いてくるかのように、倒しても倒してもしぶとく発生し続けている。
連戦に次ぐ連戦で、こちらは満身創痍......とまではいかなくとも、疲弊してきているのは事実だ。実際に70人ほどいた

「十中八九、傭兵たちは乗り込んでみたものの......逆に蹴散らされる、のがオチかな......」
2人の言う通り、おそらく【感染都市サナトリウム】は窮地に立たされている。
』の救済などと言っていられる状況ではなくなってしまった。
「あのっ、やっぱりうちは、こんなに敵が発生し続けるのっておかしいと思うの......」
「子龍ちゃんの言う通りだね」
「継子の見解は的を射ているな」
ニコリと親友らが微笑めば、彼女たちの頬が朱に染まる。
ちぇっ。
をばらまいている奴らを止めないと......」
「【感染都市サナトリウム】は、本当に石像生物たちに呑みこまれてしまう......?」
彼女たちの呟きに、俺含め周囲の
「継子も鋭い分析眼を持ってて頼もしいな」
むっ。
晃夜たちがやけに子龍さんたちに優しい。
まぁ別になんとも思ってはいないけど、妙に親友たちにしては丁重に扱っているというか......なんだか2人に優しすぎる。
いつもなら女子なんてスルーだわ、とかめんどくさいとか言ってあんまり相手にしないのに。
むむ......なんだ、この胸にわだかまるモヤモヤは......。
「うちの考えなんだけど、やっぱりタロさんを『欲しい』って言ってた、さっきのアイツに連絡を取るのが上策?」
ゆらちやシズクちゃんは終始不機嫌そうだったのに加え、その暗さが一層増した気がする。
それでも子龍さんたちが口を閉ざすことはなかった。
「あの、タロさん。さっきの人と連絡を取れたりしますか?」
「うんうんー、子龍ちゃんの言う通りー、フレンド申請とか送られてきてないですかー?」
実は俺、ゴッホさんから送られてきたフレンド申請を拒否してはいなかった。
受諾こそしてないけれど、彼は......彼らは俺にとって興味深い
「いちおう......? さっき、フレンド申請を飛ばされました......?」
俺のこの発言に、なぜか周囲の
不満というか、怒りのボルテージ方面で。
「くっ! 私の太郎にっ!」
特に姉の歯ぎしりが怖かった。
「とにかく今はッ! 今後の事も踏まえ、じっくりと作戦を立て直すわよ! それには一時撤退、撤退で異存はないな!?」
姉の号令に『首狩る酔狂共』含め、『
『この世にある石のほとんどは、かつての生物の残骸であるという説はご存知だろうか』
『1番有名なのは恐竜などの化石。あれらは数十万年単位で化石となったというのが通説だった。だが昨今、新たに発見された事実は、条件さえそろえば生物が石化するのに60年もかからないのだとか。肌など、体組織ごと石化する事例もあるそうだ』
真剣な面持ちで語る考古学者の男性、それに神妙な顔で頷き続けるニュースキャスターの面々。
『世界各地では巨大な岩がヒトの顔に見える、巨大な亀の形に似ている、と言った声が度々上がる。さて、石でありながらも【これも、もしかすると生物だったのでは?】と最も囁かれる存在といえば、エジプトにある巨像の数々だろう』
【感染都市サナトリウム】で石生物たちと交戦中だった俺達だったけれど、急に晃夜や夕輝が『現実でも巨大生物が次々と動き出したらしい!』と悲鳴を上げたので、事態を正確に把握するために一旦はログアウトしたのだけど......さっそくテレビをつけてみれば『世界各地で巨人の出現!?』と言ったタイトルの緊急速報が流れていたのだ。
『エジプトの壁画には人間よりも数倍大きな巨人が多く描かれている。あれらは実際に存在し、古来より人々を導き、また人間よりも長い寿命を持っていたという伝説がある。いわゆる神の系譜だ。そんな巨人たちも自分たちの死期が近付けば、自分の全身をコーティングする特殊な石材で覆うよう人間に命じたそうだ。と言っても彼らが真に死へと至るまでには数千年はかかるから、死後の世界に行く準備として自身をミイラ化させる儀式といったところだろう』
そんな伝説、本当にあったのだろうか?
『【メノムンの巨像】という世界遺産にも有名な逸話がある。紀元前27年の地震により、巨像たちにヒビが入る。コーティングされた石材の一部が損傷してしまったのだ。その巨像からは夜明け頃になると【うめき声】が聞こえる、といった噂が広がった。人間より遥かに寿命のあるレプティリアンは、ときたま覚醒する意識の残骸とも呼べるまどろみの中でうめき声を上げていたのだ』
『実際に数々の文献に記録として残されており、第14代ローマ皇帝ハドリアヌス帝と妻のサビナもレプティリアンのうめき声を聞いている。最後にその声が記録されたのは
単純にヒビが入って、その裂け目に風が当たって音が鳴っていたとかじゃないのかなぁ......。
『信じられていなかった説が、今回の騒動で事実だったと判明しました』
『メノムンの巨像は動き出しましたね。それに世界各地で巨大生物、特に巨人に酷似した生物が出現しているそうですね』
『えぇ。巨人に似た巨像たちとは、一応の意思疎通ができているので大きな被害はありませんが......巨人以外では知能の低い生物も多く......一部の街では被害が出ているとか......』
『日本では太古に作られたと言われる、いくつもの巨大な
『奈良県の大観音殿も大混乱に陥っているそうです』
『ここ千年間で新しく作り直された観音像は動き出しませんでしたが......古くからと言いますと、大きい物で100メートルに近い観音像もありますよね』
実際に神像と言われる大きな身体がゆっくりと歩き、家屋や車などを踏みつぶしている映像が流れる。その素振りには一切の悪意は感じ取れない。故意にやっているのではなく、極々自然体で歩き回っているように見えた......。
ただ、その姿はどこか、地面にいる
『人型以外の巨大生物も出現していますが、やはり一番興味深いのは巨人形態の巨像であると、仰っていましたね?』
『はい。実はエジプトの神話といえば【太陽神ラー】の存在ですが......今回、動き出した彼ら巨人たちは一様にして自らを神と名乗っていません』
『彼らの上に立つ存在を信望しているようです。それは【太陽を司る天使】だとか、【天光の

どこかで聞いた単語、というか......。
『これはまた【

『では巨像たちは......』
『はい、各国監視下の中で、日本へと向かっていると』
『巨像の行進ですか......』
280 277 Marches Of The Myths
: An unexpected event [huge statues all over the city] occurred:
; No overall quest rewards in particular:
: There are many more materials to drop than stone statues:
With this log announcement, it goes without saying that many mercenaries (players) rush to the [infected city of Sanatorium]. Although there are no quest rewards, the material you drop over the stone statue is likely 'new material', so to speak.
"All hands, intercept posture!
"" "Saar Yesser!
It was RF4you (Yuji) who quickly sidelined the second row.
A large amount of what was cobblestone moved, and it approached like waves.
"I'm coming! [Stone Beetle (Golibri)] That sounds like a name!
"It's just like a cockroach. Those guys are gonna let the numbers take care of them and go straight ahead!
As my best friends set up, flat stone creatures about a meter in diameter crawl to the ground at great speeds. Before there is a frontal collision with this faction, I switched gear to "Dancing Circles in the Sky (Rondo)" and danced over the fuzz.
If the proud wind of Fu swells, the flat bugs will rise one after the other, temporarily losing their propulsion. In a few moments, too, the scuffle and the upheaval will not stop over one fellow man after another from behind.
But that's enough. With a little time, I stretch the thread from my fingers and connect with the blue white. And her mouth opens up painfully as my fingertips move.
This is limited to opponents who seem to have high Physical System Defense.
An army of [Stone Beetle (Golibri)] that freezes instantly and blunts movement. As it were, I took a shot of Sniper Fireworks from the sky and then took the genetic information from Earth Gard, the giant beast of the crust, recorded in the Pocket Watch of the Lost Generation, into my body.
Activate the 'Ground Crack' of Extra Skills [Sleeping Crustal Beast] to run cracks on the earth. Several rows of [Stone Beetle (Golibri)] were swallowed up in that rift and succeeded in drastically reducing the number.
Though the gravity on me now stands at one-sixth, the mysterious creature of Togetuge Metro crumbled instantly if it fell there at a weight of 12 tons.
Falling into the space where the spark sparkle lingered, I prepared to fight back, immediately unleashed "Weight Multilayer (Snake)" and activated "Earth's Creation of Mountains (Earth Wall)".
A painting of the streets, the ability to transform them, builds a fairly powerful and large breakwater.
With this, I have exhausted all the MP700 of Benefit fused with "Earth Gard, the giant beast of the crust [one horn]," but I think I have been able to buy time for everyone to get ready for battle.
If you look quickly at the flowing log, it turns out to be what you expect.
New material and this is a... fossil!?
I can absorb new genes in The Lost Generation Pocket Watch, and I'm thrilled to see more repertoires of fusion!
"Yay! I knew it was a drop of new material! You should all knock them out soon!
If I waved back with a full smile behind me, everyone stared at me with a flashing look.
This is how we collided completely with stone creatures.
"Is my Taro safe?!? Is my El (mi) alive!?
[Stone Beetle (Golibri)] I give it back to my sister, who kicked a few and landed right next to us, with a thumbs-up.
"Sister, this way is fine!
"El, he's alive."
At the beginning it was a good slip, able to overwhelm the stone creatures.
But they keep occurring all the time, knocking them down or knocking them down, as if they were coming to an infinite boil.
It is a fact that in a streak after a series of wars, this one is getting exhausted, even if it doesn't have to be full of creation... The mercenaries (players), who actually had about 70, felt zapped when they floated just now and felt like they were down to around 60.
"I'm also suspicious that mercenaries will be working with each other as soon as possible."
"Ten, eighty-nine, the mercenaries tried to get in... but on the contrary, they kick ass, I guess that's the och..."
Two people are right, perhaps [Sanatorium, the infected city] stands in distress.
It is no longer a situation that can be said to be the salvation of the 'Cannibal Demon (Ghoul)', etc.
"Well, I guess it's odd that we keep having so many enemies..."
"Zilong is right."
"My stepchildren's view is a target."
If Nicole and her best friends smile, their cheeks stain the Zhu.
Huh.
"We need to stop the people who are spreading colored fungus (virus)..."
"[Infected city Sanatorium] really gets swallowed up by the stone statue creatures......?
To their whining, mercenaries (players) around them, including me, show a satisfactory color.
"My stepchildren have sharp analytical eyes, and they're reliable."
Mmm.
The shaking nights are slightly gentle with the dragons.
Well, I don't know what I'm thinking, but oddly enough, for my best friends, I'm being polite... kind of too nice to the two of us.
Normally, women are through, and I don't really deal with them by saying they're a pain in the ass or anything.
Mmmm... what, Moya Moya obsessed with this chest...
"It's our idea, after all, he said he wanted Mr. Taro, and it's a good idea to keep in touch with him earlier?
Besides Yukiya Shizuku always seemed grumpy, I feel that darkness has increased even further.
Still, Zilong and the others never shut their mouths.
"Um, Mr. Taro. Can you get in touch with the person you just spoke to?
"Yeah, yeah, Zilong's right. - Didn't they send you a friendship application or something?
Actually, I, Mr. Gogh, didn't refuse the friendship application.
I didn't accept it, but he... they were interesting mercenaries (players) to me, so I wasn't sure how to respond.
"Yikes...? Earlier, they skipped my friend application......?
For some reason, the mercenaries (players) around me were boiling over to this statement.
Disgruntled, or in terms of angry voltage.
"Goddamn it! To my taro!
I was particularly afraid of my sister's toothpick.
"Anyway, now heh! Based on what's going to happen, we're going to rebuild the operation carefully! There's no difference in temporarily retreating, retreating!?
Included in my sister's decree was the "Neck Hunting Drunk Communist", and the withdrawal was no longer disputed by the consent of the Silver Army (Silverley) and other majorities.
"Do you know the theory that most of the stones in the world are the remains of former organisms"
"The most famous are fossils such as dinosaurs. It was a legend that those became fossils in hundreds of thousands of years. But yesterday, the newly discovered fact is that it takes less than 60 years for the organism to petrify even the conditions? There are also cases of petrification of body tissue, such as skin."
An archaeologist man who talks with a serious face, plus the face of a newscaster who keeps nodding with a strange face.
"Around the world, huge rocks look like human faces, resembling giant turtle shapes," he said, raising his voice from time to time. Now, even though it's a stone [this was also, maybe, an organism?] and when it comes to the most whispered beings, it would be a number of giant statues in Egypt '
It was us who were engaged with the stone creatures in [Infected City Sanatorium], but suddenly Shaking Night and Evening Fai said, "Even in reality, the giant creatures moved one after the other! 'And I screamed, so I logged out once to figure out exactly what was going on...... I just turned on the TV and said,' The emergence of giants all over the world!? 'There was an emergency bulletin circulating for the title I said.
"Many Egyptian murals depict giants several times bigger than humans. There is a legend that they actually existed, guided people more than in ancient times, and also had a longer life span than humans. It's called the genealogy of God. Such giants also ordered humans to cover their entire bodies with special stones to coat them if their time of death approaches. Even so, it will take thousands of years for them to truly reach death, so it would be something like a ritual that mummifies themselves as they prepare to go to the post-mortem world '.
Is it true there was such a legend?
There is also a famous anecdote in the World Heritage Site called "[Menomun's Giant Statue]. The earthquake in 27 BC causes cracks in the giant statues. Some of the coated stone has been damaged. Rumors spread from that giant statue that when it was around dawn, [groans] could be heard. Leptilians, far more long-lived than humans, groaned in what can sometimes be called the remains of awakening consciousness."
"It is actually recorded in numerous literature, and the 14th Roman Emperor, Emperor Hadrianus, and his wife, Sabina, also hear the groans of the Reptilians. The last time that voice was recorded was in calendar year 196."
I wonder if there was simply a crack in it and the wind hit that rift and the sound was ringing or something......
'It turns out that the theory that wasn't believed was true in this uproar'
"The giant statue of Menomun has moved, hasn't it? And there are giant creatures around the world, especially giants."
"Yep. There is no great harm done to giant statues because they are uniquely communicative... but there are many less intelligent creatures besides giants... some cities are damaged or something... '
"Many buildings have collapsed in Japan due to a number of giant Kanyin statues, said to have been built in ancient times."
"The Great Guanyin Hall in Nara Prefecture is also in havoc," he said.
'The newly recreated Kannon statues have not moved in the last thousand years... since ancient times, some are large and close to 100 meters,'
Footage of a large body actually said to be a god statue walking slowly and trampling houses, cars, etc. I don't feel any malice in that bare gesture. I didn't do it deliberately, it looked like I was walking around in an extremely natural way......
However, the figure resembled a human being walking without caring about the ants on the ground.
"There are giant creatures out there besides the human form, but you said the most interesting thing is still giant forms of giant statues, right?
'Yes. In fact, speaking of Egyptian mythology, it is the existence of the [Sun God Ra]... this time, they who have moved have not uniformly named themselves gods'
'You seem to believe in a being that stands above them. It's an [angel who directs the sun] or a [divine son of heavenly light (Miko)] name... he seems to worship it as an absolute god'
Hmm!?
Words I've heard somewhere, or...
"This is another name that is likely to appear in the [Rainbow Goddess (Arco Illis)] Church's Rainbow Bible, etc."
"They say that [God Son of Heavenly Light (Miko)] exists in this age. When there are definite signs, we are awakened by the light. And the sign of its absolute Lord God seems to testify that... from this Far Eastern island nation [Japan] '
"Then the giant statues..."
"Yes, under national surveillance, he said he was headed to Japan."
"Is it a march of giant statues..."
