I Became the Strongest With The Failure Frame【Abnormal State Skill】As I Devastated Everything Chapter 27

Chapter 27 Finally arriving at my destination It seems these lizardmen came from the swamp that had a fairly weaker poison on it . That seems so based of the fluids that were sticking in their body . It’s like I thought, I wouldn’t be able to pass through that swamp . That’s why I think it’s quite difficult to hunt for more of them in their own habitat . It seems the holes where those two stinking dragons came out from previously, were also connected to that same swamp . I threw away the bones of the disposed people that those monsters were playing with . I threw it into that hollow where all those bones were crammed together . The ground is too hard, so there’s no way I could give them a proper burial . This is all I can do for them . The clothes that the skeletons used to wear which had been slightly melted by acid, were wrapped around a weight and is now submerged in the acidic swamp . This way, those clothes won’t be a plaything by monsters . After I finished cleaning up the slaughter I’ve committed, I decided to keep going in my journey to the upper grounds . I am now walking upwards along the gentle spiral slope while still maintaining alertness towards my surroundings . I can already feel fatigue accumulating in my legs . However, isn’t there some increase in my correction values? I feel that my stamina and leg strength are better than before we were summoned . In the meantime, I continued on earnestly climbing the slope . And after some time, I’ve finally been able to reach the upper floor . And there I came across a monster . It’s a two-headed humanoid panther . I’m reminded of the monster “war tiger” when I look at it . There are two of them . Its physique easily exceeded over two meters . It’s base features like its skin color seems to be the same as panthers in my world . It also have that acid that is spouting from its body . It really looks like the panther when I compared it to the panthers I know of . Both of the two-headed panthers looked at my direction with a familiar atmosphere around them . “Finally, the next prey has appeared . ” Did it descend from the upper floors after sensing my presence? I can feel its killing intent . It’s the same killing intent that those lizards were releasing, a playful type of killing intent that treats their prey as a game . I raise my arms . The pair of eyes of the panthers narrowed as they looked at me . It’s an expression that tells me that they clearly didn’t know what the heck I’m about to do . “What are you trying to do? You do know that no matter what you do is useless, human?” It’s like I could hear a voice that says as such . The two-headed panther on my right side treads the ground . He’s going to move— though before he even gets to move... There’s a time there where there is a momentary gap in movement . I learned it by my experience in this ruins . [] [Ggoo, gggooaahhh—] The two-headed panther on my right side stopped in the middle of its posture where its about to pounce on me . The other panther looks like it’s mouth is stuck on a face that looks like its jaws may fall off . It’s an expression that shows it doesn’t understand what had just happened . “That meager human... did it do something?” A reaction to something when they saw an unexpected phenomenon . And at that time, the other two-headed panther noticed . That its body can’t move . [] The next thing that the two-headed panther notices is its body’s change in color . And then, anomalies also started to appear in its body . It’s natural, since and can now multi-target . At this moment though, a thought I haven’t settled yet began to surface again in my mind . I wanted to verify if what I think is viable or not . Would I still acquire the EXP even if a monster dies from a distance? Should I try it right now...? No— I shouldn’t do that since this is the first monster I’ve encountered in this floor . This monster may be a rare monster which gives a lot of experience . [Gguu, ggoo, gggoooaaahhh...] After waiting for a while, both the two-headed panthers died almost at the same time . It’s quite a good amount of experience . But it’s not like they give that much experience compared to the others, right? I pass through the two of the two-headed panthers and proceeded further . I should just proceed like this, and I’d be able to reach the top-most area soon . After a while, I arrived again in a cave-like area . I walked for a while, [Ah . ] -and came across the same monsters I just saw before . Six two-headed humanoid panthers . They are sitting down and formed a circle . All of these monsters saw me at the same time . “Ah? Didn’t this guy meet the guys we’ve sent below?” Or so their expressions say . However, the monster became excited immediately . “The next plaything for us have come . ” Or something like that . Meanwhile, one of them went to aside and retrieved something . Its something looks like a cord that have human skulls attached on it on both sides . It somehow reminds me of a nunchucks . That panther held it its hands and began to wield it . Bunbunbunbun! (T/N: sfx of buzzing) [Ggooggaaaahh♪ ggaa, ggaaa♪ gggaaaahhhh♪] The two-headed panther next to the one wielding the nunchucks pointed its finger at me . [Ggooaaaahhh!? Ggaa, ggaaahhh!?] That’s quite a sadistic expression you have there . I somehow understand what it was trying to say . “See that? Did you see that? They’re your friends, right? Are you scared now, human?” I stick out my arms . [] [—uwoo...? Gguuggooohh!?] [] v There are now 6 corpses of the two-headed panthers lying right before my eyes . After applying on them earlier, I went back to the place where I had killed the two-headed panthers that I had first encountered . I think the distance between them is about 500 meters . My level did not increase . It seems that if I were 500 meter away, I will not be able to get EXP . Killing two of them made my level go up from Lv 665 to Lv 692 . After that, I had defeated 6 of the same monsters . If it were just because my level has been high, an increase would have happened even if its just 1 level . [I don’t know the exact numbers, but at least I understood something . If I’m too far away, I wouldn’t be able to get the experience . ] It’s a shame that I didn’t get the experience after killing them . However, I’m happy that I have verified what had been bugging my mind earlier rather than putting it for later . [......... . ] I picked up the nunchucks made of human skulls . I disassemble it and removed the skulls . I held the skulls under my arms and went back to where I came from . My goal is to find the place that I had found earlier where a dent on the wall can be seen . I place the two skulls side by side in the recess at the wall . I put my hands together and offered a silent prayer . I’ve never thought the skulls I’ve just touched were disgusting . Rather, I can feel some kind of familiarity with them . They’re the same disposed people like me . Now that I arrived here, I believe in the idea of ascending out of this place more and more . [............] I continued on moving forward . v The cave filled with nothing but bare rocks is all I see for a long time . A winding, rugged path . It’s a similar scene that continued endlessly . However, the path was definitely heading up . I can see that I’m steadily approaching the place above ground . The feeling that what I had been doing is nothing but fruitless effort has been considerably alleviated . [—oh . ] The light that the leather bag has been emitting disappeared . I thought I had injected it with as much magic energy as possible . It seems that the amount I had injected before killing the lizardmen had already run out . [Hmm?] This is? [Eh? The jewel’s color... have reset to its original color?] The gem that had turned gray had now returned to its yellowish green color . Another kind of nervousness runs through my chest aside from monster encounters . I ate one of the jerky I have on the way here . I only have one bag of it left . There is only about one mouthful of cola I have left . A feeling like I’m wishing for something came into me as I infused magic power into the jewel . A violet hue slowly colored the originally yellowish green color of the jewel from the bottom . H- how’s that...? Does this leather bag transfer food and water for me from somewhere every time I inject it with enough magic power? It would be useless if something like nails shows up... I’m relying on you... The result is— [Seriously?] One egg onigiri and green tea in a 500mL PET bottle . [It really came...] Food and drinks . I want suddenly want to scream . But, I can’t still perfectly decide whether my leather bag could really transfer foods and drinks . However, the possibility that it might be so has greatly increased . My leather bag may really be a unique item that transfers food and drinks . Most of all, what made me happy was— [—That the transfer function will be restored over time . ] I have seen egg onigiris before at convenience stores . However, I’ve never eaten this before . Prriii... I remove the wrapping around the onigiri . [Ahm... chomp, chomp... uwo!?] D- Delicious... Is the seasoning inside based deeply on soy sauce? The most delicious part, the egg yolk rolls over my tongue . The feeling when the soy sauce and mayonnaise melts together is also the best . The taste of nori further increased the flavor of the onigiri . Furthermore, this rice that I haven’t eaten for quite a while . Is this rice boiled with the dashi or something? The rice grains were coated by something that is slightly brown colored . A surge of deep flavors commenced on attacking my tongue with its wavelike attacks . The richness of this onigiri had successfully conquered my palate . I open the cap of the green tea . I pour the green tea into my mouth that is completely filled with the aftertaste of the onigiri’s deep flavors . (T/N: Hazure Waku isn’t a cooking novel . ) [Gokun... gokyun...pffuaah!] The refreshing green tea washes off the flavors in my mouth . It has a refreshing taste different when I’m drinking cola... There’s a different kind of satisfaction after eating the combination of jerky and cola . [......fuuu~] To put it in a few words... It’s the best . I stopped drinking the green tea after I’ve drunk about half of the bottle . I’ve already eaten the egg onigiri, but I will leave some of the green tea . I stash away the PET bottle into the leather bag . For the time being, I’ll put all my trash on the leather bag . The leather bag was surprisingly elastic, and it seems that I can still store more things in here . Is it because this is a magic tool? The fabric in this leather bag seems to be surprisingly tough... Now that my stomach is full and my throat is parched, I think I should move on . v I continued climbing all the way up . Ascend, ascend, ascend . I encountered monsters several times along the way . This is how the standard “dungeons” I know function . Usually, there is that standard where the lower you go, the stronger the monsters you encounter . However, it looks like that it’s different in this ruins . Even if I go to the upper layer, the monsters doesn’t show any hint of them being weaker . Rather, it seems that the monsters I’ve encountered lately is stronger than the minotaurs and birdheads . Why do you think I said that? Because my level still continues to rise . As expected, the increase in level has been slowing down as of late . This is probably because the necessary EXP I need to level up has increased . However, my level still continues to rise little by little . Perhaps even if I continued to kill the same number of minotaurs and birdheads, it would not continue to rise like this... [Ehheheh~ Hhiiyyoo ggoooeeehh!] A monster that have the lower body of a horse and the upper body of something that looks like some carnivorous plant, appeared in the darkness . It’s running towards me while screaming with its strange voice . At first glance, I thought that it kinda look stupid . That’s why, on the contrary, it looks creepier and creepier . [Oggoguueehh! Gguueeehhh! Goggeehhiiiiii!!! Oh—guueeehhhh!!!] The creepy monster suddenly discharged acid from its mouth . Firmly— I clad myself with killing intent . I won’t be fooled by its eccentric appearance . [] I will still punctually kill you . [] You’ll just be joining the pile of monsters that I will be making from the monsters that will cross my path . [] To kill, killing someone, to be killed . I never neglected to regularly check the color of the jewel attached in the leather bag . When I saw that the jewel had returned to its original yellowish-green color, I immediately injected it with magic power . The third gift I received is yakisoba bread and a pack of vegetable juice . I could finally get some vitamin supplemented on my body . Who ever should I be thankful for these blessing? I gratefully accept it . After I’ve finished my meal, I continued moving forward again . To walk, walking here, I walked for a while . I just noticed that my thoughts have been slowing down for quite a while now . The soliloquy that I had been doing has become fewer and fewer . I’m starting to feel some itch on my head and body . ...can I take a bath using the green tea? However, I can’t use something like my precious green tea for something like washing my hair or body . I often take some time for me to sleep when I find some hole on the way . I would take out some of the bone fragments I have from my leather bag . It’s that rotting dragon’s bone . I place these bones around the hole I’d be sleeping in . Its in order for me to respond immediately . However, I think it’s only useful for one surprise attack . At that time though, this bone alarm I’ve installed would play its role . After killing the monster that triggers it, I would level up . I aimed to proceed even further . For the topmost floor I’m aiming for, I continue moving my feet . If I find a monster that releases its killing intent, I would immediately kill it . I also regularly check the condition of the leather bag . I’m just repeating this same routine for some time . My thoughts have also been steadily becoming simpler . I’m not thinking of anything . I have no thoughts on anything . It’s like I’ve become numb . No thoughts, nor emotions at all... How long have I been walking? [......... . . ] I raise my face . I had finally reached this place . [This is—] Obviously a different scenery from what I’ve always seen . Disposal ruins . I’ve thought there must have been a reason why this place is called ruins . I could see ocher-colored buildings that were entwined with ivy . It’s like there used to be a civilization that had lived here in the past . [The ruins area, huh...]
