Day 314
The fourth day of the festival.
Today I think I will pay attention to Asue-chan.
Asue-chan is supervising a “Rock-Climbing Cliff-Wall” that uses a huge pit made from Asue-chan's ability.
The depth of the vertical pit leads down about three hundred meters.
Though the projection of the rock wall had key points that can be used as handholds and many stable areas, accordingly there were locations, where depending on the leaning wall overhang, there is a need for moderate skills.
Participating members who are climbing are also in an armed state, climbing over the cliff-side precipice training to be taken by surprise attacks was the idea. Even if you think you have excellent physical ability, ascending by yourself will be far harder than one would think.
Sometimes there will be a rock falling from above and <<Parabellum Hot-Spring Village>> elves came to cooperate by firing suction cup arrows in attacks. Carelessness cannot happen.
By the way, they are aware of the high risk of dropping from fallen rocks.
There are precautions in place to rescue them should they fall. Your life will be saved so you don't die instantly.

[A certain Boss Monkey Garudora Ebura's point of view]
It is necessary to crawl up, from the bottom of the huge black hole that empties into the vast forest.
It was said to start today.
The black holes are also called [Hell Abyss] by members who sank on the first day of the festival, the depth was approximately three hundred meters underground.
Normally it would be a difficult height to climb, and it is definitely a challenge to climb it in armed state.
But for the species of monkey man Ororin that specializes on tree life, it is a very easy thing to climb by using clues like slight irregularities and cracks in the rock-face.
Within the group there was such a monkey man, it proceeds faster than others by smoothly climbing.
“Ukiki, from here, at this point, it is a little troublesome area.”
Such monkey men are, among the Superior variety classification, heated on the tail of hair with a hardened shell “Tough Husk Miracle Monkey Buraiorurin” to present the [Rank Up] evolution.
Ovarou , the leader of Parabellum, calls me Boss Monkey, Garudora Ebura.
With light armament, which gives priority to mobility, I stood closer to the exit than anyone else, vertically from the rock wall while folding my arms.
Hefty legs move freely grasping snags on rocks, and to stabilize the body by using my powerful three tails which allows me to move my limbs more precisely, and we have seen in detail to better observe the situation before proceeding ahead.
“From here on, we can be knocked off by surprise attacks. Ukkiki, it's somewhat difficult.”
To the side was an armament with similar light dress prepared for the climb, “Monkey Ogre Yahuru” with two angular white hair tails - - called Yajuku. It stands on the rock wall by using its toes and two tails.
Yajuku became a monkey demon from a hobgoblin. There were many twists, but it turned out to become one of my followers, that is what our relationship is like.
Every day he follows me, he is a comrade-in-arms who ran in both battlefields and labyrinths.
“Occasionally, certain parts of the ground will collapse easily and that is a little troublesome. Asue-neechan had made “Artificial Rock Golems” which drop rocks, making it a little tricky. But the most troublesome are what the extra elves bring in.”
Gardula is driving Yajuku, he briefly talks about information on the waiting violators instead of finding out by themselves.
The news spreads to the following people, as a help to capturing it.
“Well, I could do nothing as a guy alone, it is safer to lead the excursion from within now, less tricky.”
In that way Garudora is standing on the rock wall, chanting in a low voice.
[Magic] converges rapidly to the right hand, with red and green magic light scattering around.
“I will skewer it, Ukki! “Stabbing Flame Blossoms of Proud Roots Spear Thief Genovese 'Gu””
Mixed system third tier [Magic]: “Stabbing Flame Blossoms of Proud Roots Spear Thief Genovese 'Gu”
It was invented by mixing from the [Flame] system and [Plant] system, the spear was made by forming a root like a red flower two meters in length and five centimeters in the diameter. (ED Note: "Changed Intense Heat" into "Flame". I think it's better since the word flame was used in the name of the ability.)
The ear tip of the pointed root is far sharper than that of a normal metallic spear. Garudora threw out a spear that shook the surface like the flame in high heaven just by twisting his waist and with his physical strength.
It is unleashed from an arm so strong that the spear flies through the heavens and his aim is true, piercing into the chest of the artificial rock golem that is causing interference with falling rocks to make it stay in place.
Though the artificial rock golems should be called a human type as composed of rocks, it was not a fragile structure to be stopped by just this action. However, within the spear the flaming roots rapidly grow, a huge flame blossoms with explosive spirit.
“Kikiki, Looks like dirty fireworks huh!?”
The rock body of the artificial golems got bombed to pieces from the inside, by the spear that grows bombs did enough and did not disappoint, the broken pieces were pulled by gravity and fell.
In doing so, it rushes towards the other members who were climbing.
The largest piece is the size of an adult human male, if it hit directly it would do considerable damage. Most likely, both could not endure and will fall together.
Fortunately no one was hit. But, if it was off by even a little a number of people would have been involved.
For that reason, one or two complaints are indeed going out.
“This is too dangerous!”
“Damn-so, please be careful!”
“Ukiki, I calculated properly so it wouldn't hit, don't worry Ukiki.”
In the future, the blocking threat will be eliminated first, therefore please be a little patient. While thinking that, Gardula is going further each second, the third root spear is thrown.
The root spear hits perfectly, with the fire flower blooming well, and the disturbances were crushed.
For while the root spear continued to burn by magic in a full bloom, the dark [Hell] was colored gorgeously, even if it's only a little.
“ Ukiki, such massage ukki probably. Ukiki can do nothing but climb now.”
“Kiki. Kiki. Both of the artificial golems have been decreased to the size of palm seeds, which make it much easier.”
However, even if you can ruin the regenerating body effectively (in which substitution is very much to our regret), the elves that were awaiting for Garudora are holding bows and arrows. So when he climbed up to a specified range, they were prepared to shoot.
Elves, who are our neighbors, participate in this event as entertainment.
Although it is done, but not with carelessness, and to ensure good behavior as a show of visible action, the worst punishment from Ovarou is to be killed while being eaten alive, I believe doing this much is enough.
As one would expect, the absolute power and terror that comes alongside that drive should not be taken lightly, Violators who were mopping up seem to decide to stop by here once.
“Ukikiki. Well, it's time to climb.”
I think the safety of Garudora has been secured. As I begin to climb using both hands, feet, and the three tails, some evil voice was heard.
“Oh no, this group is also doing well. Wanting to climb by care of the palm, that isn't a trick, is it? But it is a rule palm, well, that's all right. Everyone good luck and, from here on I will assist you.”
High above, the thing near the exit was the supervisor Asue.
What kind of development is this? Garudora, driven by a frustration that can barely be expressed, beginning to spring to mind easily was an instinctive sense of crisis, I looked up and tried to investigate the cause.
But there was no need to investigate, it was obvious.
“Ukiki …....... I'm beaten Ukki.”
Garudora was going to advance from now on to the [Abyss Hell] rock waterfall. It flows as if inside of the body of a living organism.
But the flow settled in an instant, the rock wall shape seems to be more difficult to climb than before and the rock golem that had been expelled is revived.
More than revived, there appears to be even more of them than before.
“Kiki, kiki........ They replenish it if it's destroyed by ranged attacks, incidentally the geographical features are changed and it rises the difficulty, what is this thing. Really unpleasant, Explain it to me for just a moment.”
“Ukkiki what have I done...... Everyone, Ukki I'm sorry.”
Damn it. While thinking of the expression it hangs in the wind, Garudora scratches his cheek.
Yajuku shrugs as much to say no help for it, other members who had been following were also floating with a wry smile.
Certainly this time was a blunder of Garudora, if the disturbances are being destroyed and the geographical features change as well as being immediately replenished, how could you know in advance.
Immediately excluding the threat to begin with is not a wrong idea, this kind of blunder could occur to anyone.
Just this time by chance it was Garudora, because everyone understands that, we gently think things out in a positive manner as the attack plan was changed.
“However, Ukki, the path ahead seems longer than I thought”
Disturbances of the violators were never a thing to ignore, members probably will be defeated in blame without forgiveness.
Therefore trying to eliminate them in order to make it easier to climb, they are immediately restored, and increased in number.
Either way the difficulty increases when you remove an obstruction, so it's best not to do so. But what still awaits are the countless difficulties of [Abyss Hell] trials yet to come.
Garudora sheds a cold sweat, and imagines what exactly lies ahead.
And having rocks fall as big as three meter make them take careful aim after that.
In climbing, the rock golem starts its obstruction.
■ 〒 ■
Asue-chan's [Rank Up]'s generative capacity and ability operation to do changes to geographical features and are obtained to her full advantage. If constructions made from rock were broken, they would get replenished and increase in number, easy to work with only if changing geographical features for a moment so it took time to make the climb up not too easy.
Once the easy roles of the work is given to elf such as basic instruction, you come to me.
When even the exit comes to about twenty meters to the back, though an easy obstruction such as making the projection in the rock wall at random is done, a little after that, the person who relaxes his guard seems to be caught unexpectedly.
Caught members must not drop their power of attention, even to the last minute, lessons learned got things going.
In its own way things that hurt people come out, it must have still been safer when compared with the combat area of Minokichi-kun.
The ability to respond in an unstable environment should be much improved.
Dozens of members were shot down, they will work hard as well tomorrow due to there being no deaths.

“三百十四日目”
祭り四日目。
今日はアス江ちゃんのところに注目してみようと思う。
アス江ちゃんが監督しているのは、アス江ちゃんの能力で造った巨大な縦穴を使った“
円柱状に地下へと続く縦穴の深さは約三百メートル。
ゴツゴツとした岩壁は
参加する団員達は武装した状態でここを登るのだが、今までにも断崖絶壁を乗り越えて奇襲するなどの場合を考えて訓練しているし、優れた身体能力から考えても、登る事自体はそこまで困難なモノではないだろう。
しかし時折頭上から落石があったり、≪パラベラ温泉郷≫に来ているエルフ達の協力によって吸盤付きの矢が襲いかかってくるので、油断は出来ない内容になっている。
ちなみに、落石などに当たれば落下する危険性が高いのは承知の上だ。
落下した場合でも救出できるように幾つか対策はとってあるので、即死する事が無ければ命は助かるだろう。
■ 〒 ■
【とある
広大な大森林にぽっかりと空いた巨大な黒孔の底から這い上がるべし。
今日はそう言われて始まった。
開催初日に潜った団員達によって【
普通に登るのにも困難な高さでありながら、武装した状態でそこから這い上がるのは間違いなく難題である。
しかし樹上での生活を得意とする
グループ内に居た猿人達は、他の団員達よりも先行してスイスイと軽やかに登っていく。
「ウキキ。ここから先はちょっと厄介な場所だウッキー」
そんな猿人の中でも上位種に分類される灼毛剛殻三尾の“
自在に動く屈強な足の指で岩をガッチリと掴み、四肢以上に精密に動かす事が出来る力強い三尾を使って身体を安定させ、これから進む先の様子をつぶさに観察しているのだ。
「ここから先は、アッシ達を叩き落とす気満々のエリアですからねェ。キキキ、ちょいと大変でさァ」
そんなガルドラの横にまで登ってきた同じような軽装備で二角白毛二尾の“
付き従うのは日常で、共に戦場や迷宮を駆けた戦友である。
「ちょいちょいとある崩れやすい地盤が厄介だウッキー。アス江の姐さんが造った“
ガルドラはヤフ公に対し、自分で見つけた待ち受ける妨害者達の情報を手短に語る。
それは後続の者達にも伝播して、攻略するための手助けとなっている。
「まぁ、やれる奴だけでも今のうちに排除しとくのが無難だなウッキー」
そうして岩壁に立ったままガルドラは、小声で詠唱を行った。
その右手には急速に魔力が収束され、赤緑色の魔力光が周囲に散った。
「串刺しにしてやるぞ、ウッキー！ “
混合系統第三階梯魔術“
炎熱系統と樹葉系統の混合によって生み出されたそれは、長さ二メルトル直径五センチメルトルの赤い花の根で造られたような造形の槍だった。
尖った根の穂先は半端な金属槍よりも余程鋭く、炎のように表面が揺らめいている根槍をガルドラは腕力と腰の捻りだけで天高く投擲した。
豪腕から繰り出され天高く飛翔する根槍は狙い違わず、岩壁に開けられた横穴に潜んで落石による妨害をする予定だった
岩石で構成されたヒト型とでも言うべきロックガーグはそれだけで行動停止するような脆い構造ではなかったが、しかし根槍は内部で急速に成長し、爆発的な勢いで巨大な炎華を開花させた。
「キキキ、汚ねェ花火ですねェ」
成長した炎華によって内部から爆砕されたに等しいロックガーグの岩石の身は呆気なく砕け散り、砕かれた破片は重力に引かれて落下した。
その際、登っている最中の団員達の間際を通り過ぎる。
一番大きい破片は成人男性程度の大きさがあり、それが直撃すればかなりのダメージになった事だろう。耐え切れず、共に落下していた可能性は高い。
だが幸いな事に当たった者は誰一人居なかった。が、少しでも何かが違っていれば、数名は巻き添えになっていた可能性はあった。
「危ねぇっすよッ！」
「気ーつけて下さいよッ！」
そのため、流石に文句の一つや二つは出てくるというものだ。
「ウキキ、ちゃんと当たらないように計算してるウッキーよ、心配するなウッキー」
後々必ず立ちはだかる脅威を事前に排除しているんだから少し我慢してくれ、などと思いつつ、ガルドラは更に第二、第三の根槍を投擲していく。
根槍はその尽くが命中し、その分だけ炎華が咲いて妨害者達を粉砕した。
しばらくの間は魔力によって燃え続ける炎華が咲き誇る事で、薄暗い【奈落】はほんの少しだけだが華やかに彩られる。
「ウキキ。まあこんなもんだウッキー。後は登るしかないんだウッキー」
「キキ。キキ。ロックガーグ共をザッと減らしただけでも、かなり楽にはなりやしたねェ」
しかし残念ながら幾らでも替えの効く生成体を壊す事が出来ても、弓矢を構えて指定された範囲にまで登ってくるガルドラ達を今か今かと待っているエルフ達には手が出せなかった。
隣人であるエルフ達は、言ってしまえば今回のイベントに娯楽として参加している。
やってやれない事もないが、実際に行動すれば確実に面倒事に発展するのは目に見えているし、最悪見せしめとしてオバ朗に生きたまま食い殺される、何て事も十分に考えられた。
流石にその絶対的な力を恐怖と共に骨身に染み込ませているガルドラがそんな愚行をするはずもなく、妨害者達の掃討はここで一旦止める事にしたようだ。
「ウッキキー。それじゃまた登るんだウッキー」
ガルドラは一旦安全が確保されたと思い、手足と三尾を使って登り始めるが、上から何やら不吉な声が聞こえた。
『あちゃー、今回のグループもやってもーたなー。登るん邪魔されれば面倒やし、そりゃ手ー出しちゃうやろな。でも決まりやし、ま、しゃーないわなぁ。皆頑張ってなー、ここから応援しとるでー』
それは遥か頭上、出口に居る監督官のアス江のモノだった。
何が起ころうとしているのか。内心で湧き出す表現し難い焦燥感や本能的な危機感に駆られたガルドラは、顔を上げてその原因を探ろうとした。
しかし探る必要すらないほど、それは一目瞭然だった。
「ウキキー……。まいったなウッキー」
これからガルドラ達が進む予定だった【奈落】の岩壁が、まるで生物の体内のように流動し始める。
流動自体はアッという間に収まったものの、岩壁は先ほどよりも登るのがやや困難そうな形状で固定され、ガルドラによって駆逐されたはずのロックガーグ達は復活していた。
しかもただ復活しただけでなく、破壊する前より数が若干多くなっている。
「キキ、キキ……。遠距離攻撃で破壊すれば即座に補充され、ついでに地形を変えて難易度上昇、って事ですかねェ。いや全く、説明がねェ分タチわりーですねェ」
「やっちまったウッキー……皆、すまんウッキー」
しまったという風な表情を浮かべながら、ガルドラは頬を掻く。
それに対してヤフ公は仕方ないと言わんばかりに肩をすくめ、追随していた他の団員達も苦笑を浮かべていた。
確かに今回はガルドラの失態であるものの、妨害者を破壊すれば即座に補充されると同時に地形が変えられるなど、事前に分かるはずがない。
そもそも脅威を即座に排除するのは間違った考えとは言えないのだから、こればかりは誰にだって起こり得た類の失態だった。
今回はたまたまガルドラだったというだけで、それを皆理解している為、軽く流して前向きに攻略を考える事に切り替えたのだった。
「しかし、先は思った以上に長そうだウッキー」
妨害者達の妨害は、決して無視できるモノではない。容赦ない責めに団員達は蹴落とされるだろう。
だから登りやすくする為に排除しようとすれば、即座に修復され、その分だけ数が増えていく。
どっちにしろ困難なら、難易度が上がらないので、排除しない方が最善である事は間違いない。しかしそれでも数多の困難が待ち受けるのが【奈落】の試練とされている。
一体何が待ち受けているのだろうか、それを想像し、ガルドラは冷や汗を流した。
そして三メートル近い大きな岩が狙いすましたかのように落下してきたのは、その直後の事だった。
登った事で、ついにロックガーグ達の妨害が始まったのだ。
■ 〒 ■
アス江ちゃんは【存在進化】して得た生成能力や地形操作能力をフル活用し、岩土で造られた妨害者達が壊されれば補充と追加を行い、ちょっと地形を変化させて登り難くさせるだけの簡単なお仕事だ。
一応、協力してくれたエルフ達に簡単な指示を出すなどの役割もあるが、基本的にはそちらがメインになる。
出口まで後二十メートルくらいのところに来ると、岩壁にランダムで突起を造るなどの簡単な妨害も行うが、あと少し、と油断していた者は意外と引っかかってしまったようだ。
引っかかった団員達は最後まで注意力を落としてはいけない、と教訓を得た事だろう。
それなりに怪我人が出たモノの、ミノ吉くんのところと比べればまだ安全だったに違いない。
不安定な環境での対応力は、向上した事だろう。
何十人と撃墜されたりしたが、死んではいないので明日もまた頑張ってくれるだろう。
