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

Chapter 19

The instinctual impulse asa living thing

I went back to the place where I was first transferred .

That skull earlier is the only thing I found right after transferring .

I was then assaulted by the minotaur when I was found by it .

I didn’t have the time to explore back then .

The property of the heroes and warriors who were disposed .

[It would be great if there’s anything useful...]

Of course I had never let down of my guard .

Now is the time to be the most cautious .

There may be surprise attacks that may come from out of my sight .

Now, I only have my guts and reflexes to rely on to .

If I were late on using the abnormal state skill,

There’s a chance that I’ll die from a single blow from a monster .

The monsters of the disposal ruins are probably super powerful to have as enemies . I don’t think I’d beat them even if I tried .

Heck, some of the others who got here may be A-Rank heroes .

It’s obvious I can’t oppose this monster with my status .

My only countermeasure against them is my personal skills .

Literally, “whoever strikes first wins” is the key strategy .

At any rate, don’t get hit even by a single blow from a monster .

That’s what I should definitely focus on for now .

Putting my thoughts together, I finally arrived at my destination .

I raised my glowing leather bag filled with magic energy .

It seems to me that it’s more dangerous to be hidden in the darkness now .

It’s also difficult to keep track of directions in the dark .

Well, there’s still danger if the enemy had projectile weapons on them .

[But it’s not like I can do much about it...]

There were some human bones partially melted with acid .

It was probably done by that minotaur .

There were also some weapons that were dropped .

However, almost everything were half-melted with acid .

Even if I have it, it seems it would only be useless baggage .

[The only ones I can use are these ones, huh...]

A black cloak once worn by a skeleton .

And an old dagger .

The cave have been getting a little colder .

Should I were this mantle?

Basa ~tsu

I wear the cloak around my body .

It’s getting a little warmer .

The dagger is now covered in a leather sheath .

At first, I thought it would be to dull to use .

However, it was still usable after checking its blade .

I put the dagger inside the leather bag .

My left hand has to have an easy access towards the leather bag .

My empty right hand is especially for my skills .

This hand is the one who turns towards the target .

It feels like I can’t lock on without doing that...

My priority is for using the skills over wielding weapons .

I don’t think this dagger can ever hurt the monsters in here .

I think it’s their defense status .

The hardness of the skin when I had chopped the birdhead with an axe is quite traumatic .

I look at the transfer location .

A magic circle is engraved in here .

[This magic circle... well, I can’t really use it . ]

Only that sh*tty goddess can use this .

Otherwise, there is no point in sending anyone here .

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

Those fellows in 2-C, I wonder what they’re doing now .

No...

I shouldn’t think about them now .

I’m sure that I am the most at risk in losing my life .

First of all, my first priority is to find a clue on how to escape to above ground .

I resumed the exploration of this cave .

For a moment, I’ve returned to the place where I had fought hard .

Of course, the mountain of corpses there still remained unchanged .

[Now that I look at it again, It’s become quite a number huh...]

The feeling that I had done this myself is quite weak .

I looked at the way the birdheads had fled to .

[I guess I’ll go this way . ]

v

I kept walking until I came upon a wide, open space .

It’s so wide that my leather bag’s light doesn’t reach it’s walls .

I look up .

The ceiling is really high .

There are those pointed rocks that are protruding from above like those you can find in a limestone cave .

Gyu ruru~

Gu ~u

Uh...

Just as I thought .

I’m feeling it earlier but its quite subtle .

Hunger .

I haven’t eaten anything even before I got on the bus .

As a matter of fact, I’m getting thirsty .

All I’ve been doing earlier is running away from these monsters with all my might .

I’ve also sweated a lot in that deadly battle with the monsters .

I’ve lost a lot of water of fluids within my body,

I’ve yet checked if I had any water with me before I’ve arrived here .

I haven’t been able to confirm it so far .

The problem that I’m facing now following the threats of the monsters .

Water and food .

The crisis with the monsters is solved, and now a simple yet serious problem arose .

[...For the meantime, should I move on further?]

There may be something that the monsters use as food and water .

I began to walk again through the dark space .

v

I kept walking in a landscape that doesn’t look like it’s changing .

In the meantime, I found a place that will likely be going to the upper area .

When I went there, I was greeted by the same scenery again .

[.........]

Time passed without me noticing .

No– what actually happened?

I feel like I had been walking in this path for a very long time .

But it may not be a lot of time at all .

I can’t see the sun shine while inside this... cave .

It’s just simply- darkness .

I’m not wearing a watch .

My sense of time had been disrupted .

Gyururu ruru~

Ki ~yu ~u ~u ~u~~

[Haa... haa...]

I understand...

Even if my level goes up .

Even with the status correction .

I will still get hungry .

I will still get thirsty .

I’m starving .

No, more than that...

I have to quench my thirst first .

[Haa... Ha~a...]

The soles of my shoes are getting worn out .

My nerves are getting worn out .

Still, I have to make sure that I am able to activate my skills immediately .

I don’t know when the monsters will suddenly pop out .

I must always have even an ounce of awareness for my surrounding .

I walk .

Is there something else to do?

I walk,

and I walk .

Nothing .

I continue walking,

walking,

and keep walking .

There’s really nothing .

rock .

rock, rock .

rock, rock, rock .

rock, rock, rock, rock .

rock, rock, rock, rock, rock .

My everything collapsed .

What’s a rock?

Is it the rocks from mountains and stones?

Huh?

Mountain?

What’s that again?

It’s underground here...

This is not a mountain .

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

I have to do something .

I’m extremely hungry .

I’m extremely thirsty .

Does it have to be this harsh?

I don’t even see any monster anymore .

When I encounter them...

Kill .

Food .

Meat .

Anything is fine .

Someone, please give me food .

[Ah, right...]

A sudden thought came in my mind .

Those monster corpses I killed in the bottom layer .

[They may be edible...]

Is it because of thirst?

I spoke my thoughts with my hoarse voice .

I turned back there .

That’s because I have a bad feeling about that plain, deserted area .

There may be nothing but a deserted land further .

On the other hand, here’s a place where there’s certainly some food .

The corpse of the monsters .

Now that I know, I should go .

The minotaur is– beef .

The birdhead is– chicken meat .

I should go .

It should be possible .

After some time, I finally returned to that place .

To the place where there are filled with a great deal of monster corpses .

I feel like I can no longer sweat .

Water... .

Blood?

Should I drink blood??

I take out my dagger .

I held it in a reverse grip .

But my hand stops .

[Speaking of which, didn’t these guys...]

Didn’t they die from poison?

Are they even edible?

No .

The poison skill may have been gone already .

The corpses are not purple .

It’s not that I’m excited .

But I should eat if I can do it .

I ought to eat it...

Eat it, me...

I reached out in my leather bag .

My left hand is now for using skills .

I can exert more power with my right hand .

Minotaur meat...

I mustered my strength to the handle in my grasp .

The skin is too had for the blade to pass .

Even after dying, the feeling of hardness still remains .

If so, there’s a part in the head that can be drilled to .

From there, I attack!

Guri ~tsu

I gouged out its eyes .

Alright .

I can do this .

[...... . . ]

I peeked into the eye socket .

Will it flow smoothly from here?

Can I do this?

Getting it’s insides from here...

It’s uncomfortable– but it’s not the time to be uncomfortable .

I would die .

I have to eat something .

I have to drink something .

Okay .

First, push the blade deep within the socket of the eye–

Ju~u ~tsu!

[Uuwaahh!!!?]

I hurriedly let go of the corpse .

Acid .

It’s no good!

It’s insides is full of acid!

[———-]

The cow’s eyeball is lying on the ground .

Could I eat it?

This thing?

......... . .

I’m dying .

I have to eat .

I slowly bit out of it’s outer cover .

Gabu ~tsu!

Ju ~uuuu!

[Buwaahhh! Pweehhh!! Ahhaahhh!]

There’s acid even it’s eyeball!

[Pweehh! Pweehh! Geho~! Geho!] (T/N: sound of coughing,)

Are these like the acids in their body fluids?

It’s harmless to them .

But harmful to other organisms .

I wiped my mouth with the sleeves of my uniform .

Even inside my mouth...

The cloth melts somewhat, but it can’t be helped .

[... . . fuuu...]

I’m glad I didn’t immediately swallow it .

Vomiting it immediately was correct .

My tongue is still tingling .

But fortunately, the damage to my mouth is quite minimal .

Surprisingly, my may have been at work .

I look at the bird head .

[.........]

I also tried eating the birdhead .

The result was the same .

It’s not something edible .

Well, if you think about it .

This is a place where those who are wanted dead are sent .

When the monsters in the transfer destination can be used as food, it will be like easy mode .

There is no way to eat the meat of the monsters in this ruins .

There is no way to drink the blood of the monsters in this ruins .

There’s no way to do it .

If you are really intent to kill,

There is no reason to send him to a place where there are edible monsters .

There is no reason to send him to a place where there is a source of water .

Those who are sent here will, obviously, not be teleported with water or food .

It’s indeed the simplest problem, but the problem of survival is essential for a living thing .

[A disposal ruins with zero survival rate...]

Even if the heroes sent in here were stronger than the minotaurs and the birdheads–

[Damn it... this ruins are thorough enough to kill the heroes...]

You’d still die .

Because of starvation .
