I Became the Strongest With The Failure Frame【Abnormal State Skill】As I Devastated Everything

Chapter 121

Chapter 121

The Heroes have gathered under the instructions of the Goddess .

We’re inside a large garden adjacent to the castle .

No one could enter this place without permission from the Goddess .

The garden is filled with blooming flowers .

There was a fragrant aroma wafting around the air .

As if it’s a dream come true, this would be the place where you would want to spend your time relaxing out of the ruckus of the outside world .

However, I couldn’t do that now .

The atmosphere around the gathering Heroes weren’t so peaceful .

The Goddess would always call us here whenever there is something important to talk about .

Everyone understands this already .

The Heroes have been travelling around ruins all these times .

Into the ruins where the Golden-eyed monsters live .

Thereupon, we’ve been continuously fighting all the time .

Of course, it was all so that we could obtain experience .

Other than that, Alion has also been capturing a large amount of Golden-eyed monesters .

They’ve captured them so that they could be used as experience for the Heroes .

The people that were prioritized to be given these captured monsters were Kirihara’s group .

They had the expectations of the Goddess .

The number of demons given towards them blatantly tells them so .

There’s hardly any monsters given towards me and the others .

(However, my level has considerably risen after defeating the monsters in these ruins...)

I also learned some tricks on fighting .

[Recently, I feel like there’s a tense atmosphere in the castle . Don’t you feel it too, Poppo?]

[Eh? I- Is that so?]

[Doofus~! You’ve sent too much nutrients into your breasts that you’ve forgotten sending some into your head?]

[A- Asagi-san...]

Hiding her breasts, Kashima Kobato curls her body to a ball .

Her face was bright red .

Ikusaba Asagi’s shameless remarks .

Some righteous indignation began welling up within me .

She has always been like this even back in my previous world .

It might have been different if she complained even a little bit .

Trying to caution her, I was about to open my mouth .

However, Kobato looked straight at my eyes then shook her head .

Did she read what I have been thinking?

“I’m alright . Having a dispute here would just be troublesome . ”

Kobato’s eyes were telling me something like that .

Strong will would only appear in her eyes at times like this .

Vexed, I could only withdraw .

Thereupon, Kobato gave a small nod as if she’s thanking me .

[.....................]

Ikusaba Asagi .

Currently, her influence within 2-C is increasing .

The greatest reason is probably because she has acquired an inherent skill .

Asagi is a B-Rank Hero .

Normally, it was said that inherent skills could only be acquired by A-Rank Heroes or higher .

However, Asagi acquired an inherent skill even when she’s B-Rank .

The Goddess was also happy when she learned about this .

“I knew from the start that Asagi-san had something special within her . She has the ability to bring all of her friends together . ”

Asagi’s inherent skill is . (T/N: Group Enhancement)

It’s a skill that bestows to multiple targets .

It’s a skill that not only strengthens your status after they’ve casted it to you once, it would also gradually increase your overall status up to a certain value .

When the duration expires, the status increase would turn back to its original value .

Asagi’s group now has strength in numbers .

It can be said that this is such a skill that would shine especially when you’re strong in such a way .

With this, the Asagi group could surpass the others in terms of team battles .

However, Kirihara’s group isn’t trying to drag her over to their side at all .

It doesn’t look like Kirihara and the others think well about Asagi .

It seems like they think it would be dangerous if they get ahold of her .

Kirihara and the others were vigilant towards Asagi .

I could see some signs that tell me so .

She has clearly refused to join Kirihara’s group .

Even the Goddess has given up hope pulling her over to his side .

Conversely though, the door to membership is still open for me .

Of course, I don’t have any intention of joining though...

Yasu Tomohiro’s group is also getting stronger .

However, it can’t be denied that this group has just turned into Yasu’s one-man group .

Only the A-Rank him have become prominent and strong .

The other Heroes’ level haven’t increased compared to his level .

It feels like they’re just gradually increasing their levels by pouncing upon Yasu’s leftovers .

On the other hand, our group is under the management that every experience points would be distributed to everyone as evenly as possible .

“We should concentrate all the experience points to Sogou Ayaka . ”

Kayako, who has now become our semi-mediator, suggested that first .

However, I rejected that .

I know the extent our strength would be if we were to put all resources just to myself .

It would be better if everyone would gather our strengths and fight together .

That’s why I rejected her proposal .

As a result, I improved my level and learned some skills together with my comrades .

What they’ve learned were Common Skills .

Basically, common skills were skills that any Hero could learn .

The common skills were divided into five systems .

You would be able to unlock skill as you level up .

When unlocked, the skill tree would also change accordingly .

Some parts of the uncolored tree would begin having their own colors .

It is said that the higher it is in your tree, the higher the ranking of the skill will be .

Incidentally, it was said that the skills of the Abnormal State System nowadays were useless .

Their performance was certainly just as the Goddess said .

Not just the techniques, even the skills of Heroes in the Abnormal State System were quite obscure .

And also, the inherent skills have different dispositions compared to common skills .

There were also some skills within the inherent skill that level up themselves .

It seems that its level will rise as long as you use them .

As their levels go up, their abilities would evolve .

[I wondered what would happen in the beginning, but we’re glad we could be of use to Ayaka-chan with our Defense System and Ability Enhancement skills... It’s just as Ayaka-chan says, isn’t it?]

Relieved, Minamino Moe said .

If you’re a user of Support System skills, you don’t have to be the vanguard of a team .

I would only be the one in charge of being the tank and the vanguard .

The others would be supporting me from behind while they would protect themselves with defensive skills .

Then, one of our comrades would slay the monster once we’ve driven the monster to its death .

Currently, this is the fighting style that the Sogou Group is using .

Everyone is doing well in their roles .

(However...)

I displayed my status .

LV 115

HP: +1390

MP: +2878

Attack: +10983

Defense: +2256

Physical Strength: +2313

Speed: +1574 (+500)

Wisdom: +1450

My level has considerably increased .

The Goddess looks like she’s in a hurry to strengthen the Heroes .

The effect of the strengthening has been steadily appearing .

If I remember it correctly, Kirihara Takuto was about to break through Lv 200 .

However, everyone’s level-up speed has decreased since we’ve passed through Lv 100 .

The growth of our status’ numerical values have also been visibly slowing down .

In my case, only my have strangely grown quite smoothly but...

My other status values were evidently showing poor growth .

I heard something from a boy from Yasu’s group just the other day .

“When you reached a certain level, your growth would suddenly slow down... It’s kind of designed just like those MMOs huh?”

I don’t really know what this “MMO” is .

I also can’t search for it on the internet because I don’t have a smartphone .

However, it’s a fact that everyone feels that their growth has become slower .

It might even be possible that our level and status would reach its peak and we won’t be able to grow anymore .

(Most of all—)

I’m more anxious about a certain something .

I displayed the information of my skills .

Putting my hand over my mouth, I look towards the display .

My inherent skill still hasn’t been unlocked yet .

I’m the only S-Rank who hasn’t unlocked my own inherent skill .

Even the Takao Sisters who stand from everyone .

Both of them have already acquired their inherent skills .

All the A-Rank Heroes have already acquired it .

Even the B-Rank Asagi have acquired it .

And yet, only I haven’t acquired my inherent skill yet .

[Are you worried about your skill?]

Did she realize that I’m anxious?

Suou Kayako called out .

Fixing my expression, I smiled at her .

[Y- Yes... A bit...]

The only person in charge of being the vanguard is only me .

(If I don’t do my best...)

[However, you have that specialized skill tree, right?]

[Yes . You’re right . ]

Specialized tree .

My skill tree is quite specialized .

There isn’t a single Common Skill listed there .

Instead, I could acquire specialized combat skills .

You could even say that my tree is very specialized for combat .

The reason I could be the vanguard alone is all because of the blessings I received from my specialized tree .

(However, it can’t be denied that these specialized combat skills were inferior compared to the other Heroes’ inherent skills...)

I’ve been becoming more impatient to get stronger .

Death always follows in each of our battles .

I can’t afford to be leisurely .

[Thank you for the wait, everyone . ]

The Goddess finally arrives .
