Curse Nightmare Party – Jagan Yousei ga Yuku VRMMO - Chapter 50

50: Venomlard After – 4

 [Hmm?]

[Good evening, Taru-sama]

Monday.

I had finished my lecture at the university and was about to log in to 『CNP』when I was stopped at the login screen by a man in a butler’s uniform …… C7-096.

Apparently, he wanted to talk to me about something.

[How may I help you?]

[I am here to explain about the event that will take place next Sunday]

Apparently, the event is less than a week away, he is going explain here so that users who have not yet visited the official site will be informed.

However, I had already checked the official site beforehand, so I skipped most of the explanation.

[This will be the prototype of the avatar you will use in the spectator area on the day of the event. Actually, the clothing will change depending on the items that Taru-sama possess that day, but there won’t be much different.]

[Hmmm]

The part that could not be skipped was the part to check the avatars with deformity level of 3 or less to be used in the spectator area on the day of the event.

The avatar that appeared had orange hair, rainbow eyes, and skin that was whiter than white, but… the hair grew waist length, and she had only three eyes: two on her face and one between her collarbones.

It doesn’t have insect wings, and it doesn’t float in the air.

It’s kind of like adding the real me and the 『CNP』me and dividing it in a way that is much closer to the real me.

[Was it the PvP countermeasure and the lack of curse concentration?]

[In addition, it will make it easier to navigate and interact in the city. There is also the intention of saying that we don’t want to startle the guest players too much. For my part, I think it would be better for people not to come to 『CNP』in the first place if they are frightened by the level of deformity, but I have no choice but to comply with the management. So, unfortunately, I can’t do anything to increase the level of deformity]

[Hmmm]

To be honest, it’s not enough, but …… well, it can’t be helped.

I’ll only be using the spectator area anyway, so there’s no need to get so hung up on it.

[I understand. I accept]

[Thank you very much, Taru-sama. You may proceed to the game]

And so I logged into “CNP” once again.

 ———-

[Login]

[Chuutaruwitchu]

I logged in and was welcomed by Zarichu as usual, but for now I look at the cup of poison rats that I created yesterday.

The cup of poisonous rat is …

[Uwaa…]

[Chuu]

It was filled with a dark green liquid, spilling and pooling on the floor of the safety area little by little.

Yeah, let’s just surround the perimeter with hanging flesh flower fern vines with the leaves still attached.

Let’s get it well under control.

[Now then, I’m going to have to process Venomlard’s fur]

[Chu]

I pick up the fur of the 『Poisonous Rat’s Leader』that I keep in my room.

The size is large enough for two of me, but there are some holes and cuts due to weathering.

So I did not turn this into clothing.

[Though I cut it to a reasonable size, made a hole and connected it with the hanging flesh fern tendrils]

I made a fur like a bandage, and at regular intervals, I cut holes in the fur and wove in drooping fleshflower fern tendrils, as well as applying a coat of polished drooping fleshflower fern leaves to the fur.

The finished product is then wrapped around my body, the vines are joined together, and the wide fur is adjusted so that it comes around the waist and it looks like a skirt, properly concealing the parts that need to be concealed.

I took it off while keeping it in that state, then soaked it in the poisonous liquid produced by the poison rat’s cup, and then brought to the front of the curse stand.

In addition, the poison in the poison rat’s cup did not seem to have much effect on me, and the poison displayed was insignificant.

[Suuu…. Haaa….]

Now, what we are going to make is the most important item of equipment, and that is no exaggeration.

This will determine whether I will be able to get out of the “Tower of Mice” or not.

So I put my clothes on the curse table with a firm image in mind.

[I seek the unknown]

Red, black, and purple fog gathers on the curse table, and the clothes are wrapped in a sphere of mist.

[For that I have to wear a curse of the right strength for me to live]

There is no dramatic reaction as when creating items to learn Zaritu or the spellcraft.

[Please give me the right to go through the cursed world]

The sphere of fog did not clear completely and remained in the surrounding area to some extent.

I appraised the clothes, which for some reason had been dyed a beautiful suho color, as I took them down from the curse table. (TL: Suho 蘇芳)

Cursed Bandage Clothes

Level: 10

Durability: 100/100

Interference: 100

Erosion rate: 100/100

Deformity: 5

Made with materials from Venomlard, the “Poisonous Rat’s Leader” that looks like a bandage wrapped around the body.

It has the effect of manipulating the surrounding curse to bring the concentration of the curse close to a level suitable for the wearer’s survival, and can increase or decrease the curse concentration up to a maximum of 5.

It has a poison disable (5) and high poison resistance and weak physical resistance, making it resistant to these forces from the outside.

Caution: flame resistance is reduced while wearing (medium)

Note: The garment is disgusting when viewed by those with low deformities (small).

▽▽▽▽▽

[Disable and resistance?]

For a moment I thought it was a bug or my mistake, but after thinking about it a bit, it made sense.

Perhaps, resistance is something that subtracts or a reduction in the probability of being hit.

And the invalidity is a fixed value subtraction, which means that if the value is less than or equal to the value, it will never be applied, and if it exceeds the value, it can be weakened by the number of digits.

I don’t know which one works first unless I think about it and verify it but… for the time being, as long as I’m wearing this Cursed Bandage Clothes, it is safe to assume that poison attacks will be almost ineffective like Venomlard.

[Equipping… It’s heavy after all]

I took off my Poison-Biting Rat’s Fur Clothes and put on the Cursed Bandage Clothes.

Perhaps due to the lack of level, it is still heavier than it looks.

As far as looks go, it’s a short length skirt and a lump of Suho-colored fur that covers the chest.

There is also the feeling of weights on the shoulders and feet.

[Hmm? I feel lighter, somehow?]

And, the effect of collecting the surrounding curses started.

Red, black and purple fog gathered around me and covered my entire body.

At the same time, the movement of the wings on my back and the feeling of weights on my body eased a bit.

[Maybe, I’ve always been weakened before?]

My deformity level is 19

The curse concentration that I have been active so far is basically 10 to 12.

The curse concentration around me now is 15.

If this makes it easier… maybe even if the curse concentration is not insufficient, does it mean that if there are not enough curses, some kind of adverse effect will occur to my body?

[Woah, I can fly normally]

[Chuu!]

And, if this idea were true, I could float up for a while without kicking the ground, just by moving the wings on my back.

Apparently, the impact is quite significant.

[And, now it’s time to go. Haaaa, it’s hard to have so much to do but not enough time to do it]

Unfortunately, today’s logout time is already approaching.

There is quite a lot to do before the event, including moving the center of the curse in “Tower of Mice” and refurbishing it, verifying changes in status due to differences in curse concentration, the usability of “Evil Eye of Poison・1”, procuring new weapons, and other matters that I have been putting off….today I spent a lot of time making the bandage clothes.

The rest will have to wait until tomorrow or later.

So, I logged out.
