【繁殖力:3 → 0】
【順応性:2 → 0】
大気中へと踊り出た瞬間から、このような低数値へと成り果ててしまったのだ。
「それにしても、天より吊るされた電球の数は全部で三十六か......」
ほんのりと明滅する電球一つ一つには、大気中の成分などを読み取る能力があるらしく、それを色として俺に伝えてくれる。
電球たちは一見すると不規則に吊るされているように見えるけれど、実は違う。中心にある電球を俺と見立て、そこから四方八方に広がりを見せている電球は、大気中の成分を把握した位置を大まかにトレースしている。
つまり中心の電球から右斜め前にある電球は実質、俺の右斜め前に存在する大気を読み取っている。
一個一個の電球の差は3センチから10センチ、これは実際の空間に見立てると3メートルから10メートルの空間にある成分を把握する事になる。
「これを......一気に、処理して察知するとか......」
発動してみてわかったのは、かなり扱いが難しいアビリティだという事。
電球が多ければ多い程、自分の周辺にある成分を探る精度は上昇するだろう。けれど36の地点を瞬時に把握とか、なかなかにシビアだ。
電球の灯は似通った色みを帯びてはいるけれど、その濃さは違う。
全体的に緑っぽい。けれど幾つかの電球だけは異なった色となっている。
:電球の色は周囲の属性を表しています:
:光の濃度が深い程、電球内に宿した彩菌の繁殖に適しています:
ログから察するに......。
「森だから電球の光は緑っぽい? ......ええと、濃ければ濃い程【
【繁殖力:0】
【順応性:0】
】より数値が断然落ちている。
次に緑っぽい電球の中でも、数本の電球だけ色に混じりのある方へ目を移して気付く......それは、ちょうど敵の槍
【感染力:2】
複合可能な大気成分に【人間値】というものがあるので、おそらくは......このような色みを帯びている電球は他に4点。つまり、目の前の槍
「あの銀髪っ子......何もしてこないな?」
「こけおどしか?」
どうやら、様子見から
うん、正直に言ってまずい。
一度止んでいた矢も再びこちらへと狙いを定めたようで、ブルーホワイトたんが叩き落としてくれるものの、槍
トワさんも鞭で迎撃してくれたりするけれど、どうしても弓矢の方に警戒がいってしまい完全防御までには至らない。
そうなると矢のいくつかが電球へと当たり、砕けてしまうのは必然だった。
すると電球から青の液体......【
に適した環境下ではなかったようだけど、液体の振りかかった土がわずかに凍っている。
ふむふむ、直接散布しても凍傷程度には威力を発揮すると。
しかし電球が減ると周囲の情報を探れるツールが一つ減る事になるわけで、壊されるのはあまり得策ではないか。
さマ、申し訳ありませン」
分析している最中にも敵の槍は猛然とした突きを放ってくる。
そのうちの一本がブルーホワイトたんの防御をくぐりぬけ、さらに一つの電球を突き壊してしまう。するとどうだろうか、敵の槍先にみるみると霜が張ってゆき、冷気を漂わせ始めたではないか。
しかも明らかに先程よりも矛先の輝きが増したように思える。
武器にも感染するのか......って、攻撃力を上げちゃってないか?
まるで氷槍、そんな変貌に舌打ちをせずにはいられない......が、待てよ。崩壊因子を混ぜ込んだ
「あの電球に触れるな!」
「状態異常をくらいそうだぞ!」
「凍傷か? しかし俺の武器は......氷属性の追加効果がついたぞ!」
考察と推論をいくつか立てつつも、概ね『彩菌に飢える天動球』についての性能は理解した。
あと実験すべき点は......彩菌の適合性強化と変質、そして仲間への感染の有無かな?
これは一度で全部実験できそうだ。
【木値15】【草値8】【土値7】【暖値3】【冷値7】【人間値4】【魔素値2】の中から、それぞれ10まで取り込む数値を設定し、天動球の中で新しい菌を生成する。
おそらく、木値を注ぎこめば木々への細菌感染力が増したりするのだろう。その予測が当たっていれば、【人間値4】は欠かせない。残り6数値を吸収できるわけだが、次に優先すべきは......魔素値というのはMPが関係しているのか? 不確定要素の高いものを取り込むのは避けておこう。
彩菌のステータスには【感染力】の他に【繁殖力】や【順応性】などの項目をあったから、やっぱりフィールドに適した数値を伸ばすのが上策なのではないだろうか。
そうしてできた天動球の数値を窺えば、
【感染力:2 → 5】
【繁殖力:0 → 2】
【順応性:0 → 4】
まだまだ本来の【
:彩菌を生成させる地点を選択してください:
一つは沼化で身動きの取れない仲間二人と槍
ものは試しの気分でウィルスを散布......ん?
しかし、俺の想像とはだいぶ違った事態が槍
それは一本の天動球、電球が虚空より垂らされ――何やら不思議な光を地へと降り注ぐ。するとどうだろうか、その光に呼応して地面より氷でできたキノコがニョキニョキと三つ四つと生え出したではないか。
「キノコ......」
うん、見た目はだいぶ綺麗な、現実にあったらとっても美しいキノコなんだろうけど......なんだろう、なんかこう違う気がする。
これって森の中の4地点でも起きている現象なんだろうか?
微妙な感情を持て余しながら様子を窺っていると、どうやらキノコが
ほんのりと粉のような物がキノコの周囲を舞い......消えていった。
なるほど。ウィルスの順応性や繁殖力を強化し、
今回はそれがキノコの胞子。
そしてその効果は......【感染力5】の威力とやらは、かなりのものだった。
まず最初に変化が訪れたのは槍
まるで壊れてしまった人形のようにカクカクと身体を動かし、ついにはその動きを止めてしまう。良く見れば顔や肌の部分が氷晶化しているようで、あんな状態では身動きするなど不可能に近い。
そんな隙だらけの敵をブルーホワイトたんの拳が容赦なく砕いた。次々と氷粒の煌めきとなって、宙空を舞う敵傭兵さんたち。その無残な様とは正反対に、ブルーホワイトたんの姿は勇壮だ。
そして氷晶化は敵だけに留まらず、沼に足をとられていたゴハンゴッドさん達にも及んでいるようだ。彼らは沼であがくどころか微動だにしていない。
「あー......やっぱり仲間にも有効なんだ。トワさん、シズカマシロさん、ちょっとここから離れた方がいいかも?」
そうして二人に下がるように言いつつ、俺は念のため
そもそもキノコという形状を得ても、繁殖力や順応性が低くなってしまってはダメだ。もしかして【木値】を多めに取り入れた天動球から生成されたキノコは、木に生えたのではないだろうか。確認する必要があるな。
腕を組みながら今回の収穫を頭の中でまとめ、ついでにブルーホワイトたんに事後処理をお願いしておく。
「ブルーホワイトたん、森の中にいる氷人をお願い。あと、氷キノコの生えてた場所も教えて欲しい」
「御意でス」
が感染したかどうかは、すぐに判別がついた。なぜなら、彼らがいるであろう箇所に呼応する天動球の色が変化し、【人間度4 → 0】へ変化し、新しく【氷度3】という物が加わっていたからだ。
「まぁ、相手の位置や状態が遠方からでも察知できるのは美味しいな。あとはウィルスの調整中に俺を守ってくれる前衛がそろえば問題ないって感じか」
しかし、強力な
アビリティの有用性について考察していると、不意にすぐ近くからトワさんの遠慮がちな声が響く。
おっと、自分の世界にばかり浸っていてはダメじゃないか。ここはトワさんを安心させないといけない場面だったな。
「あ、なに? もう敵の心配は必要ないよ。森に潜んでる
それにまだ何かあっても心強い味方もいる。
「不測の事態があっても、フゥがいるから大丈夫だよ」
「たろりんは守るーん♪ たろりんのお友達も守るーん!」
にぱぁーっとトワさんに笑いかけたフゥは、ちょこんと俺の頭に鎮座する。
「そんなに平然と言われても、ね? 何が何だか、わからなくて......ね?」
困惑するトワさんに続き、シズカマシロさんもおどおどしながら俺に語りかけて来た。
「君は一体、何をしたんだ......? 電球みたいのがズラっと並んだかと思えば......君はその場で動きもしないのに、敵を簡単に無力化って......」
傍から見ると、俺が突っ立っていただけで敵の様子がおかしくなったように見えたのか。自分ではけっこう働いたつもりだったけれど、確かに一人でに電球やらキノコが生えて終わりって感じだもんな。
「......こんな圧倒的なPvPの終わり方なんて初めて見た......」
ポツンと畏敬とも感動とも取れるような声音で、俺を見つめるシズカマシロさん。だけどまだ俺のやりたい事は終わっていなかった。
「まだ終わりじゃないよ。ほら、あの二人が元に戻るまで待っておかなくちゃ」
そう、味方でありながら感染してしまったゴハンゴッドさんとヒロキさんの検証結果を見定めるまでは終わりじゃない。
「だって、ウィルスの効果が何分持つのか観察しておかないと。貴重なデータだから」
満面の笑みで以ってハッキリと伝える。
「あははッタロくんって、あはは。ぶれないねー」
「あ............はい」
するとトワさんは可笑しそうにお腹を抱え、シズカマシロさんは怯えたように一歩下がった。
俺達はそれからしばらく、氷漬けにされてしまった二人を眺め続けた。
ジーッと二人を見つめていると、彼らの表情は動かないのに何故か居心地が悪そうな気がした。
別にこれは拷問とかしてるわけじゃなくて、ただ仲間が元の状態に戻るのを待っているだけですよ?
データが欲しいなんて黒い本音は、にこやかな笑みの裏にすっぽりと隠しておかないと。
[Reproductive power: 3 0]
[Adaptability: 2 0]
From the moment we danced out into the atmosphere, we ended up with such low numbers.
"Nevertheless, the total number of bulbs hung over heaven is thirty-six..."
Every light bulb that flickers slightly seems to have the ability to read the components in the atmosphere and so on, and it tells me that as a color.
The bulbs look irregularly hung at first glance, but they're not. The bulb, which looks at me as the bulb at the center and shows a spread from there in all directions, roughly traces the position of the ingredients in the atmosphere.
In other words, the bulb in front of the right diagonal from the center bulb reads essentially the atmosphere that exists in front of my right diagonal.
The difference between each bulb is between 3 and 10 centimeters, and when you look at the actual space, you get an idea of the components in the space between 3 and 10 meters.
"This... all at once, process and sense..."
What I found out when I activated it was that it was a pretty difficult ability to handle.
The more bulbs you have, the more accurate you will be exploring the ingredients around you. But it's pretty cynical to instantly grasp 36 points.
Although the bulb lights are of similar colour, their intensity is different.
Overall, it looks green. However, only some bulbs come in different colors.
: The color of the bulb represents the surrounding attribute:
: The deeper the concentration of light, the more suitable for breeding the colored bacteria housed in the bulb:
To observe from the log......
"The light on the bulb looks green because it's a forest?... Uh, if it's dark, the darker [colored fungus (virus)/frozen color (platier)] is prone to reproduction..."
[Reproductive power: 0]
[Adaptability: 0]
The number is definitely lower than the original [Frozen Color (Platier)].
Next, among the green bulbs, only a few light bulbs move their eyes to those mixed in color... it shows just where there are three enemy Spear Mercenaries (players). It is brightly extinguished by the shades stained with red and yellow in the green.
[Infectious power: 2]
There is something called [human value] in the compositable atmospheric component, so perhaps... there are four other bulbs with this color. This means that more than four other enemies are lurking in the woods besides the spear mercenaries (players) in front of them.
"That silver-haired guy... he's not doing anything, is he?
"Only Kokomo?
Apparently, he moved from appearance to attack whether he had cut the paralysis.
Yeah, it's not good to be honest.
The arrow that once stopped seems to have set a target for us again, and although the Blue White Tan will knock us off, there is also restraint against the three Spear Mercenaries (players), so they come out here with a chill.
Mr. Twa can intercept me with a whip, too, but he's really wary of bows and arrows, which doesn't get to full defense.
Then some of the arrows hit the bulb and it was inevitable that it would crush.
Then the blue liquid from the bulb... [Colour Bacteria (Virus)/Frozen Color (Platier)] flows out. But it vanishes in an instant like a juicy evaporation.
Apparently it wasn't under the right environment for colored bacteria (viruses), but the liquid shaken soil is slightly frozen.
Hmm, even if sprayed directly, it is powerful for the degree of frostbite.
However, if the bulb decreases, there will be one less tool to explore the surrounding information, so isn't there much you can do to break it?
"I'm sorry, Lord."
Even as we analyze it, the enemy's spear releases a sudden thrust.
One of them creeps through Blue White Tan's defenses and breaks one more bulb. Then what do you think, if you look at the enemy's spear tip, the frost will come up and you'll start to get cold air.
Moreover, it clearly seems that there has been more spearhead glow than earlier.
Are you going to get infected with a weapon... or have you increased your attack power?
It's like an ice spear, I can't help but tongue over such a transformation...... but wait. Using colored bacteria (viruses) mixed with collapse factors, can weapons and protective equipment also be worn out?
"Don't touch that light bulb!
"We're about to have a state anomaly!
"Frostbite? But my weapon... has the added effect of Ice Attributes!
While making some reflections and reasoning, I generally understood the performance on "Heavenly Dynamic Balls Hungry for Colored Bacteria".
What more should I experiment with... Enhanced compatibility and degeneration of colored bacteria, and the presence or absence of infection with my peers?
This looks like we could experiment with it all at once.
[Tree Value 15] [Grass Value 8] [Soil Value 7] [Warm Value 3] [Cold Value 7] [Human Value 4] [Magic Value 2], each of which sets a number to take up to 10, to produce a new fungus in the heavenly moving sphere.
Perhaps pouring tree values will increase bacterial infectivity to the trees. If that prediction is hit, [human value 4] is indispensable. So we can absorb the remaining 6 numbers, but the next priority should be...... Does the MP have anything to do with the magic value? Avoid capturing those with high indeterminate elements.
In addition to [infectivity], there were items such as [fertility] and [adaptability] in the status of colored bacteria, so I guess it's a good idea to extend the numbers appropriate for the field.
If you look at the number of heavenly moving spheres that you could do that,
[Infectious power: 2 5]
[Reproductive power: 0 2]
[Adaptability: 0 4]
Although the status of the original [Frozen Color (Platier)] has not yet been withdrawn, the number is as high as 2 in terms of [adaptability] as the original.
: Select the point where you want the colored bacteria to be produced:
One designates two immobilized buddies and three spear mercenaries (players) as the middle point, just like taking the back from the enemy.
things spray viruses in the mood to try...... hmm?
But something very different from my imagination occurs behind the three spear mercenaries (players).
It's a single heavenly moving sphere, a bulb draped above the void - somehow pouring a strange light down to the earth. Then what if a mushroom made of ice more than the ground in response to its light grew three or four gnocchi?
"Mushrooms......"
Yeah, it looks a lot prettier, it would be a very beautiful mushroom if it were in real life... I don't know, I feel something different.
Is this a phenomenon that is happening even at four points in the forest?
As I watched with subtle emotions, the mushroom apparently released its spores (horns), which were scattered as colored bacteria.
A slightly powdery object danced around the mushroom... disappeared.
I see. Is it at the core of this ability to enhance viral adaptability and reproduction and change it into a form of bacteria suitable for the environment (field)?
This time that's the mushroom spore.
And the effect was... [Infectious 5] 's power and doings were considerable.
The first changes came from spear mercenaries (players), who suddenly began to slow down.
He moves his body as if it were a broken doll, and he finally stops that movement. If you look closely, your face and skin areas seem to ice crystallize, close to impossible such as moving in that condition.
Blue White Tan's fist relentlessly crushed enemies filled with such gaps. Enemy mercenaries dancing in space, one after the other becoming a brilliance of ice grains. Contrary to its unbroken appearance, Blue White Tan looks brave.
And ice crystallization seems to extend not only to the enemy, but also to the Gohangods, who had their feet taken by the swamp. They don't make it faint rather than cheerful in the swamp.
"Uh... I knew it would work for my people, too. Mr. Twa, Mr. Sizcamasillo, maybe we should just get away from here for a second?
That's how I tell both of you to back off, and I summon Fu, the Wind Calling Princess (Garuda), just in case. If the spores are the cause of the infection, the wind won't carry them around us.
Even if you get the shape of a mushroom in the first place, you can't have less fertility or adaptability. Could mushrooms produced from heavenly moving spheres incorporating more [tree values] have grown into trees? We need to make sure.
Wrap up this harvest in your head as you put your arms around it, and then ask the Blue White Tongue for aftertreatment.
"Blue White, please, Iceman in the woods. And I want you to tell me where the ice mushrooms were growing."
"Su by your will."
By the way, it was immediately discernible whether the enemy mercenary (player) lurking in the woods had been infected. Because the color of the heavenly moving sphere that corresponds to where they would be, changed to [human degree 4 0], and a new object called [ice degree 3] was added.
"Well, it's delicious to be able to detect the position and condition of your opponent from afar. And then there's the avant-garde that's gonna protect me while I'm tweaking the virus."
However, although it is a powerful colored bacterium (virus), Friendly Fire is difficult to use. I really have difficulty making use of it.
Discussing the usefulness of abilities, Mr. Twa's reluctant voice sounds inadvertently from just around the corner.
Whoa, can't you just be immersed in your own world? This was the occasion where I had to reassure Mr. Twa.
"Oh, what? You don't have to worry about the enemy anymore. The mercenaries lurking in the woods are going to shatter the blue whites."
Besides, there are still comforting allies even if something happens.
"Even if something unforeseen happens, it's okay because there's a hu."
"I'll protect Taron.  I'll protect Taron's friends, too!
Hu, who laughed at Mr. Twa, sits right on my head.
"Even if they say so flat, right? I don't know what it is... right?
Following Mr. Twa's confusion, Mr. Sizkamashiro spoke to me as he stayed.
"What the hell did you do...? I thought there was a line of light bulbs... you didn't even move on the spot, but you easily powerless your enemies..."
From the side, did it look like the enemy was acting strange just because I was standing there? I meant to work this way myself, but I do feel like I'm done growing mushrooms on my own.
"... I've never seen such an overwhelming PvP end..."
Mr. Sizcamasillo stares at me with a voice that can be both potent and awe-inspiring. But what I wanted to do wasn't done yet.
"It's not over yet. Look, we have to wait until those two get back together."
Yes, it's not over until we determine the results of the verification of Mr. Gohangod and Mr. Hiroki, who are allies but have become infected.
"Because I need to observe how many minutes the virus will have. Because it's valuable data."
I tell her it's clear with a full smile.
"Hahaha ttaro, haha. I can't shake it."
"Ah............ yes"
Mr. Twa then held his stomach ridiculously, and Mr. Sizkamashiro took a step back, frightened.
We kept watching the two of us getting ice pickled for a while after that.
Staring at the two, Jeez, I felt uncomfortable for some reason even though their expressions didn't move.
Nothing. I'm not torturing you or anything, I'm just waiting for my buddy to get back to normal, right?
I can't believe I want the data. The real black stuff needs to be soaked away behind a grinning grin.
