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

Chapter 55

The Abnormality that Began to Encompass the Ruins

It happened just when I turned towards one of the passages .

The cries of multiple monsters began resounding from the place where I came from .

[Giggyyaahhhh!]

[Gooeeeggeeehhh!]

[Guoogggaahhhh!]

The approaching cries suddenly came to a halt,

but their ferocious roars kept on increasing, resounding from that area .

[Kissiiaaahhhh!]

These voices were in that location where Monk and the duo is nearby .

Monk and that duo was already paralyzed and poisoned by me before .

I wonder if they would die because of the poison .

Or is it they would be killed by the monsters?

I still don’t know what exactly happened .

Along with these atrocious cries, I also seem to hear a short scream resound from that place .

Pigimaru’s protrusion slithers out from the back of my neck with something that looks like a face on his protrusion .

[Pigii!]

Pigimaru looked a bit angry .

It seems that he’s angry towards those guys we had met before .

[It seems that you clearly know who you like and hate huh...]

[Pii!]

I killed some time at the corner of that passage .

[Piipiipii? Piggiii!]

Pigimaru warned me .

The monsters that have been making noise at that place where Monk and the duo used to be .

The ruckus that they have been making had subsided .

It’s just that, their cries began to get nearer to where I am again .

Are they able to follow me through my scent?

[Their next prey is me, huh . ]

[Gisshhhiiaaaaa!]

I peeked out of the corner I’ve been hiding on and held out my hand towards them .

This is already a tried and tested move that I could rely on .

[Guugggooeee...]

The first move would always be to seal the movement of the monsters that are about to swoop down on me .

These monsters haven’t been affected that much by the poison that were already in Monk’s body .

The virulent effects of my abnormal state skills...

Does it affect no one other than the person that I had targeted?

I returned towards where Monk and the duo used to be .

It looks like they died as they were being eaten .

Their corpses are stained all over with their blood .

The blood even splattered all over the place .

I thought about taking their money but— I think it ain’t worth the trouble .

The satchels they have were torn apart and the coins were scattered everywhere .

Their blood had already clung into the coins .

There’s a possibility that the officers in the entrance of the ruins will check the coins that I have when I’m about to take them back home .

[Just in case that they would really inspect such things, I think that it would really troublesome for me if they were to ask for some explanation from me . ]

It will take some time and effort for me just to wipe the blood in these coins while I’m here underground .

Fortunately, I am still not that desperate for coins .

That’s why I decided to leave these corpses untouched .

I turned back to the passage where I was hiding in earlier .

The monsters that I had paralyzed and poisoned were still alive .

It’s troublesome to just wait here for them to die from poison .

I cut the monsters’ throats one by one with a dagger .

Did I even get some experience points from them?

However, my level haven’t risen ever since I have entered this ruins .

I thought that I would gain some because I had been killing quite a lot of monsters from this ruins .

Is it that the monsters in here also give low experience points?

Then, it seems that there’s no need for me to go out of my way just to hunt them down .

After I finished killing all these monsters, I went down to another floor .

v

This place had been narrower than I had thought .

I feel cramped in here .

It may have been because the Disposal Ruins was too wide .

I already traveled quite some distance while I killed the monsters I encountered with the combination of paralyze and poison .

At present, the only problem I have is the range of my .

The range of is about 20 meters .

In other words, I can use this skill as a long-ranged weapon .

So, the first move that I will always use would be

If they were given enough time, I could use at that time but...

At that pace, it would take some time for it to gain sufficient experience . I want to reach Lv 3 .

As I proceed deeper into the ruins, the frequency of seeing other mercenaries have decreased .

My level still haven’t gone up .

I hid in the shadows and confirmed how much MP I have .

MP: +58517/59037

I don’t have to worry that much about my remaining amount of MP .

By the way, I have just known this morning that my MP recovers every time I get some sleep .

Last night, I had checked my remaining MP before I went to bed .

When I confirmed my status when I have woke up, I saw that my MP has recovered .

It seems that MP recovers after a certain amount of sleep .

I remembered back when I had stayed in the residential area of the Disposal Ruins .

The frequency of checking my status had decreased because I had been leveling up and my MP would recover every time I do .

At those times that I had rested there, my MP may have recovered a little but I haven’t noticed .

Anyway, now I can freely use my MP with ease .

I check the time in my pocket watch .

I bought this in one of the stores that I had visited together with Mist .

[I guess it’s about time for me to take some break . ]

[Pii . ]

There are several rooms that I could rest on in this ruins .

It seems that the mercenaries and the private soldiers of the marquis had set up these rooms before while they were conducting their search .

I heard that there were some kind people who would sometimes leave some preserved food and water .

However, if someone were to retreat towards this place, there’s a high probability that monsters would occupy this place instead .

I found a break room when I’ve reached the 10th floor .

The door to the break room was marked with paint .

This is the sign of a break room .

However, it seems that there are already others that were in this room .

Their voices were leaking out of the room .

Human voices .

It seems that this room isn’t occupied with monsters .

I ask Pigimaru to remain vigilant towards the surroundings as I listen on their conversations .

[Before we noticed it, we’re already in the 10th floor!]

[Even the faster ones among the other mercenaries should still be around 7th floor right now . ]

[And with that, we now have a perfect chance to get some rest . ]

[As I thought, it’s still advantageous for those who were first to dive into the ruins . ]

[Well, we still have to hunt these strong monsters that would come out from the newly discovered floor . ]

It’s just a thought but...

Are these the mercenaries who quickly went in here after the explanations have finished?

[This is great! Our Drunken Sword Party will be the one who will acquire this Dragon Eye Sakazuki!]

[That’s right!]

[If we were to descend five floors more, we’ll finally reach the new floor! You guys, are you ready or what!?]

[Leave it to me, Elder Sister!]

[Okay! That’s a good reply!]

It seems like the mercenaries here were the fastest ones to dive into this place .

I don’t see any other mercenaries that have reached this floor...

Now then— What should I do now?

I actually want to take some break right now .

It’s just that... I feel like renting the room together with them would make me a bit tired mentally .

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

That’s right .

Should I just look for another break room that’s available and take my rest in there? contemporary romance

I proceeded through the ruins and went down to the next three layers while killing all the monsters I’ve encountered .

13th floor .

Two more floor to pass through and I would finally reach the new floor that have just been discovered .

However, I still want to take a break before entering that new floor .

When I was wandering through the 13th floor, I finally found a mark that I had seen before .

The sign of a break room .

[Guugggaarrruuaahhhh!]

[Buuuuooooohhhh!]

It seems that this room is occupied my monsters .

Moreover, there are about ten of them in here .

I could feel their killing intent gushing towards me .

Designating multiple targets...

[]

[Guguuaahh!? Ugguuuahh...?]

[]

I had defeated the monsters that occupied the room .

It’s just that...

[How do I get these corpses out of here?]

There’s even a big one mixed in along with those monsters .

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

Should I just forget about it and proceed another floor deeper?

I went further into the 14th floor and tried searching for a break room while I killed all the monsters I’ve encountered .

However, I haven’t found any break room at all .

[It’s no good...]

I reluctantly returned towards the break room in the 13th floor .

I take the monsters out and cleaned the room as much as I could .

[Fuuu...]

This room is different from those room in the residential area of the Disposal Ruins .

[Can I ask for you to keep a lookout while I sleep?]

[Pii!]

I’m really thankful that I had a comrade who I could ask for lookout .

It’s really different compared to that time when I was in the Disposal Ruins where I could hardly rest as all .

I rest my back behind a wall and closed my eyes .

v

[————–]

I opened my eyes .

My consciousness have also began awakening .

I check the pocket watch for the time .

[I’ve had three hours of sleep, huh . ]

[Pigii!]

Shuba~

“There are no abnormalities!”

It seems that’s what Pigimaru wants to say as he salutes with his protrusion .

[Thank you . Umm, are you okay even if you haven’t slept?]

[Piipii!]

[However... don’t hesitate to say it if you want to take a break, okay? We don’t really have to participate in their struggle to find that Dragon Eye Sakazuki... We also don’t need to rush with diving into this ruins if it’s impossible . ]

[Pii ♪ ]

I have never seen Pigimaru sleeping before .

Do slimes even sleep?

When I had asked him about it before...

[Pii?]

It’s a reaction that looks like he doesn’t know whether to say yes or no .

Wondering about that, I gave some dried meat towards Pigimaru .

There are still many mysteries regarding slimes .

[Pyuunyunyuu~ ♪ Pikyyuupikkyyuuu~ ♪ ]

He’s happily eating the dried meat .

It seems that it has a normal appetite...

When we were able to satisfy some of our hunger, we promptly left the room .

v

We once again aimed towards the stairs leading towards the 14th floor .

Since I have been there once before, I already know the general location of where the stairs are located .

[Hmm?]

A man who had varying expressions on his face is approaching .

You could see other mercenaries following behind him .

I put my guard up against him for a bit .

He doesn’t seem to have any hostility towards me but...

[Oi, you . ]

This voice...

Isn’t this voice from that fastest group in the break room from the 10th floor?

I switch over to a humble mode as I spoke to them .

[What do you want?]

[There something weird that’s happening in this ruins right now . ]

[Weird? What do you mean?]

The people who seems to be from the Drunken Sword Party stopped in front of me .

Everyone’s complexion looks like they’re pretty disappointed .

Did something irregular happen without my knowledge?

A red-haired woman from the back vomits as she looks pretty mortified .

[Damn— He’s just another newcomer huh . ]

A tanned man glances behind his back .

[It’s just... it seems that there’s perhaps something that hasn’t happened in the past but is in the Mills Ruins right now . The guys who went here from the past already felt something really different exists in here . ]

I was only sleeping for about 3 hours .

Something must have happened around that time .

I don’t think they looks angry because of the expressions of their faces and the shape of their mouth .

It’s an expression where they’ve found something seriously unexpected .

Even I got anxious as I asked them .

[Specifically, what is this weird incident that has happened? Excuse me, but this is the first time that I have entered the Mills Ruins . ]

The tanned man looks quite meek as he answered my question .

[It’s just that... the monsters we have found before on our way here, they’ve died from something unnatural . ]

[They’ve died from something unnatural, huh?]

[Yeah . They’re all dead, but I can’t determine what in the world are the cause of their death . Their corpses have no wounds at all . There are also no particular changes in their body . The best that I could find was that their skin looks a bit deathly pale . ]

Hmm?
