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

Chapter 37

Things from now on

I managed to escape from the disposal ruins that had been said to have zero survival .

Feeling the warm sunlight with my body, I could finally take a break—

I can’t say something like that .

“There is a mark on the entrance that only the investigation team, who goes to inspect regularly, understands... There have never been any change in that mark . ”

I remembered the words that sh*tty goddess has said before I was being disposed .

Hiding behind the shade of a pillar, I kept my vigilance on my surroundings .

It seems that there have been no monitoring establishments nearby nor investigators that would guard the entrance .

I think back again about the words of the goddess .

“–the investigation team, who goes to inspect regularly—“

Is it because this ruins had always been closed?

I’m constantly looking around the area as I look around for any presence of humans as I examined the entrance of the ruins .

I don’t see any thing that has changed at all .

I also can’t find any indication of anything that looks like a mark .

“—a mark on the entrance that only the investigation team, who goes to inspect regularly, understands...”

To sum it up, the mark has a troublesome disguise .

It should be considered that it’s only a matter of time before they know that I have escaped the ruins .

The door of the ruins had already closed .

The moment that I had gotten out, the door had surprisingly been closed .

It’s as if this ruins is telling me to “Quickly get lost!”

Is it because I’ve killed too much of the monsters living in this ruins?

I wasn’t able to bring out that golden jewel that was needed to open the door .

I would have sold it if I was able to bring it out but...

It seems that the outside world is not doing well too .

The area nearby the exit of the ruins looks like a ruined landscape .

In other words, this ruined landscape could be said to be the inheritance of an ancient civilization .

I could definitely see the image of what should be an ancient ruins, just like those photographs I had seen on my textbook .

I quickly looked around the neighborhood .

It seems that this ruins is in the middle of a forest .

I guess it’s about time that I should live this place .

I need to escape here before they would be informed of my existence .

I have no business with this place anymore .

v

I’ve discovered a path that I think people had used before .

I could see the bare earth .

The ground had solidified after being treaded on multiple times .

Is this the road used by the investigation team and the people who normally goes in this forest?

If that’s the case, I think it’s better for me not to go through this path .

“Captain! I had seen traces of unfamiliar footsteps that has passed through this path!”

It’s possible something like that will happen later...

I guess I’ll go through this forest a short distance away from the path .

[I wish I can find some place that have some water... I want to wash my body already . ]

Although I have already escaped from that place, there are still many things that I have to do .

I’d also like my habit of speaking to myself that I had developed in that ruins to be cleared off .

I really need to stop it .

[Status Open . ]

LV 1789

HP: +5367

MP: +59037

Attack: +5367

Defense: +5367

Physical strength: +5367

Speed: +5367

Wisdom: +5367

Only the MP had a different amount of digits in it .

But this is not what I really want to check out now .

I wanted to check the skills entry .

I want to check out the two skills that have leveled up .

MP-consumption 10 / Multi-Target Casting / Optional Release / Partial Release (Head)>

MP-consumption 10 / Multi-Target Casting / Optional Release / Option: Non-lethal>

The entries have increased .

Both of the skills have added on them .

When I were back in the ruins, there had been no situation where I felt the necessity to cancel my skills .

I haven’t really thought about my inability to cancel my skills .

It is now possible for me to release them out of my skills if I so will it, huh .

If I there is a monster nearby, I’m going to try it later...

The other new addition in the skill is the .

I am wondering about the additional display, this “head” word that is enclosed by parentheses .

Does this mean that it’s possible for me to release just the head from the paralysis?

It seems that it will be useful when I want to talk with the one I paralyzed .

There’s also the new addition in the skill, .

In short, I think that I could now make my poison into something that doesn’t kill my target .

If I were to talk as if this were a game, it’s like a poison that always leaves someone into only 1 HP?

I think this might surprisingly be useful .

I don’t think I’ll be using this skill that much though .

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

If I want some kind of effect to be added on my skills, I think something like making it work to that sh*tty goddess is a perfect skill for me .

[I need to test out the additional effect of my when an opportunity comes . ]

I close down the status display and took out a cola from the leather bag .

This cola had been in my bag for quite some time .

This is the last mouthful until the PET bottle is completely empty .

Let’s drink this in celebration for returning alive from the ruins .

I gulp it all in one breath .

It might have been obvious, but the carbonic acid in the cola has long been lost .

However, this dense sweetness quenched the fatigue out of my body...

[Fuuuu...]

I keep the empty PET bottle with me .

I will keep it as a water container when I have found a clean river .

I started walking through the forest again .

There are many things for me to think about .

However, I need to confront them just one at a time .

I would get too confused when I think about all of them at the same time .

Besides, Multitasking has never been my strong point .

[Now then...]

I guess I should find a village or town first .

I want to take a proper rest at some inn .

I also want to buy some new clothing .

It’s because I want to change out of this uniform under my robe .

This uniform from my original world is too conspicuous .

With the situation I am right now, I need to avoid standing out as much as possible .

I also want to know where I am now .

Is this place within the territory of the Allion Kingdom?

Am I closer to the center of the territory?

Or am I somewhere near the frontier?

Or is it that I’m in an another country?

Worst of all, there’s a possibility that I’m even in the other side of the sea .

I want to get a map if I can find one .

Fortunately, I have found some silver coins and jewels in the ruins .

It’s reassuring that I’m not completely broke .

However, I think I need to know how much is the worth of the silver coins and the jewels .

I also need to know the market price of the commodities .

I’ve also received some macro informations when we were just summoned by that goddess . (T/N: macro information = public info . )

However, I haven’t heard of the section where the micro information was explained .

I think I need some suitable confirmation myself .

[After that—]

I glance at the leather bag that I am carrying .

The Forbidden Archives of Spells and Curses .

I can’t gather any information from this .

This may be the power that would help fight that goddess .

[Now that I think about it...]

Is it possible for me to learn the contents of this book?

Can I become a forbidden spell-user if I were able to learn how to read the language used in this book?

Or the ones who could learn these spells are limited to their race?

I want this to be clarified too .

[I have to gather information about forbidden spells as much as possible . ]

And then...

[I want a sword . ]

Unintentionally, I muttered .

My status other than my MP is low .

That’s what I had been thinking until today .

I recall the memory of when I was in the ruins .

I almost haven’t used any of my stamina around the second half of when I was there .

I haven’t gotten sick even once .

I also feel that the fatigue I feel on my feet as I ascend the ruins got diminished and it’s as if my feet feels lighter than before .

There’s also the luggage that I have been carrying in my leather bag that I feel is lighter than before, even though the things that I had been carrying has increased .

That’s why I think that the effect of the correction value has certainly started to show .

However, the Soul Eater and the various monsters has continued to recognize me as someone who is “weak” .

Even after I had broken through Lv 1000, I was still the weakest in the ruins .

So to speak, I’m probably the magician types who stays at the rear guard .

I’m not the warrior type who fights in the vanguard .

That’s what I think .

That why I suddenly said that .

“I want a sword . ”

That’s why I murmur such a thing .

[It would also be reassuring if someone like a shieldbearer could be my escort...]

If I have a “sword” that protects me when I was casting my abnormal state skills on the rear, I can concentrate on invoking my skills without worry .

In the ruins, I don’t have to worry about blind spot if I just put my back against the wall .

Removing the blind spot can be used at that ruins since that place has numerous walls that you could also hide in .

However, that is not always possible when I’ve arrived here above ground .

[...... . . ]

Hiring a skilled mercenary could be one of the possible actions I could take if I wanted an extra helping hand in the fight with the goddess .

[–Or I could just make my own mercenary group . ]

In order to achieve my revenge, I would have to exert double... no, triple counter-measures for every possibility that could happen .

This unidentified forbidden power .

It would be dangerous if I bet too much hope on just these forbidden spells .

I scratch my head .

[If my abnormal state skill works on that sh*tty goddess, it would have been easier for me to exact my revenge... well, it seems you can’t be hasty on the things you do even in this world . ]

It can’t be helped .

There’s nothing convenient in this world .

On the contrary, I think that things have been too convenient for me since I have the abnormal state skill and the convenient ability of my leather bag .

[After that... I should also find some time to look through the contents of that book that I had received from the Great Sage, “Encyclopedia of the Forbidden Arts”—]

(T/N: I’m going to rename the book to synch it with the one written on the manga . )

A presence .

I close my mouth and raised my vigilance upon my surroundings .

I can’t feel any thirst for blood .

However, I could feel its intent to attack others .

Is it a monster?

I investigate the source of the presence as I hide behind the trees .

[Pigi!]

[Pigi!?]

[Piggiggiggiiiii!]

[Piggi!]

A translucent creature that is blue and round jiggled on the ground .

[Aren’t those—]

There are apparently six of them, as far as I could see .

[–slimes?]
