ShangriLa Frontier Chapter 604: And It Keeps On Spinning Round and Around Part 1
What, it was in fact a really simple story. No one in the “Library” knew who he was, so no one would even suspect a thing.
The original Orchestra is certainly a mysterious Unique Monster, that’s for sure. But its essence is a music player. Under the nature of Unique Scenario EX, there should be a way for us to learn about its backstory and its true nature. So far we have challenged it over and over again, but no new tips were coming to light…… If it’s been challenged again and again, there is no more tips, but the Leviathan…… Could it be that we are going to find something there? Possibly, the Orchestra’s creator?
Following it to its roots, that music player does not go anywhere, its stationary. But there has to be a place that should have some sort of intel or documentation on it, right?
「There is also that whole Elise Jitterdoll to consider……」
If you ask me for my opinion on the Leviathan, it’s just an oversized amusement park, first and foremost. Especially looking at that third layer. And it seems that the funhouse is so good there that no one managed to advance towards the fourth layer at the current point in time. So it’s like, I know that the Orchestra should be my priority, but there are always additional goals in here that can go hand in hand with it, you know?
That’s why for now, alongside Survivor we were going to continue to push through the Leviathan, hoping to find some additional clues…… And seeing that we had nothing better to do at the current moment……
「Oh man, it feel like ages passed since I was last here!」
But before that, we needed to make a pit stop at Rabbitz.
I wanted to give Break some of the materials from that War Orphan to see if she would be able to cook up something nice with that, but it was then that Emul came to me and said that Break wanted to see me. Apparently it was something about a…… sample, or something like that?
What I saw when I entered Break’s workshop was the Break herself who seemed to be scolding someone with a fiery passion behind her every single move and word. And that someone seemed to be a biped cat who was trembling so much that it would not be all that surprising if it fainted on the spot…… Ahh, now I remember. It was that one Cith Seith that stole a gemstone on his own and then a whole lot of trouble and mighty shit show resulted from that.
「Hey, Break! What’s up? You managed to finish something?」
「Y-yeash, thatsh right. T-Together with this giant furball here we have been working on it for quite a while now, but it’s finally completed. “The Emperor of Storms – Idea Gato Spellior –“.」
Opening a small box that was resting in the corner of the workshop up until now, Break presented to me its contents, and I must say that it was a strange thing, indeed. How should I say it……? It was something that looked like a device with wind turbines and gears added to it, but scaled so that it would be portable. Something like that.
Okay, so to try and see if I understand it correctly, is this supposed to be an accessory? Or maybe a set of accessories? Okay, for the time being I am going to see what’s the flavor text is all about, then it might actually shed some light onto this thing. But still, I am kind of worried about how a thing like that is even supposed to perform in the first place……
·”The Emperor of Storms – Idea Gato Spellior –“
If there are Gods in this world, then surely you will be punished for invoking this to life. It’s a tool that shatters bodies and fragments the spirits.
This device can be used to utilize the effects enclosed within the amber gemstones to their full potential, either stabilizing them or making them even more powerful.
The “sealed amber” series is a classified rank of gemstones, each one of them capable of carrying within itself the risk of bringing unspoken calamities onto the world should their potential ever be unleashed. There are five levels of power: “Miscellaneous”, “Hazardous”, “Pure”, “Disaster”, and “Spelliol”. Among all those classes, “Spelliol” encapsulates a gem that managed to preserve the effect sealed within it in a perfect, unblemished state. And there is no way to tell how great of a disaster it would cause to unleash their effects.
The names are given. The flesh is surrendered. Life is lost. It is from that vortex of flailing madness that the grains of truth can be sorted out.
※ Special state “Mobius of the Storm” … Upon stating, special acceleration occurs in response to the distance covered, travelled or jumped. All kinds of motion are eligible to trigger the special effect.
In addition, while always driving as an additional effect, the wind can cause knockback effects to occur.
Right, so about understanding how that thing works…… I can’t say I get it. I will actually need to take this thing for a spin to see what’s what.
Not to mention that when I placed in in my Accessory Slot and it appeared on the right and left side of my waist, when I tried to press my fingers against it I could actually feel as slight repulsion, as if the device was actively trying to push me away.
「Because this Coliseum is circular in shape, accelerating in here might be a little bit difficult, but oh well, what the hell…… Alright!」
Let’s start with the Levin Trigger / Disaster Hand, and then raise my stats even higher with the help of various skills…… Go!
Circular Coliseum is expanded in an instant and before I know it, I’m already outside of the circuit. And the speed at which I am going is only increasing with every passing moment…… I can also see that the two circles floating near my waist are proportional to the speed at which I am going, and it is understood that the rotation rate is increased in proportion to the speed!
「Hohuh!?」
At the moment when I tried to make a step with my right foot, I heard a strange sound and the world around me shifted all of a sudden, filling up with nothing more but horizontal lines. No, it was something different. A different kind of rotation, the one that was going counterclockwise for some reason!?
It is a strange state that was going way too fast for comfort, making it unable for me to control. However, the only solace here should be the fact that this state wouldn’t last forever. So I just need to focus on catching my balance just right in here and then……
「Hmmnh!?」
Yeah, just what I thought. The moment I kicked the ground with my left foot, it might be hard to believe but I ignored all the physical operations so far, and the super rotation of the engines started to go clockwise once more…… Great! This time around I am going to reclaim my balance for sure! But then all that I could see was darkness, as I managed to splatter myself against the wall while still going at full speed……
「S-Sanraku-san!?」
「Ah, yeah. I managed to find the cause of the whole commotion.」
