I Became the Strongest With The Failure Frame【Abnormal State Skill】As I Devastated Everything Chapter 28

Chapter 28 The Ruins Area I wonder if its because the scenery had completely changed . My dull thoughts that’s clear of any uncomplicated things had regained its color . [Those ivies... are they edible...? Hmm?] Something is coming . [Booohh... boohh, bo hiyyooooohhh...] Something spherical is floating towards me . It’s a monster that look like an eye . An enormous golden eyeball . It’s deep golden pupils, which is proportional to the size of the eyeball, is moving about restlessly . Suddenly, many arms grew out of its spherical body . The appearance of the arms resembles to those of a human . Busshuuuu...! Acid is spouting from the tips of the protrusions scattered around its body . As expected, the monsters here also spouts acid like that, huh . [Hiiiioooohhh, ggiiyyooooooohhhh—!] Suddenly, the monster released a high-pitched scream . It looks like it’s howling . Or is this just how it cries? The eye looks like its having some little twitches every few seconds . In those multiple arms that sprung out of its body, magic circles in the form of rings that were clad as they formed . Those magic circle seems to look like bangles as they perfectly fit in its arms . It’s similar to what the goddess was clad at that time when she stopped the quarrel of Oyamada and Yasu . [] I took the initiative on attacking . [] Pzzzzztt! Bachichichi! [Booyyyuuoooohhhh!] The eyeball is continuously hit by paralytic shocks throughout its body . It seems that the premature discharge of magic backlashed towards him . It’s like that time when that lizardman back then blew up its own head because of backlash . [Gggii, ggiiyyuuuuiii—] The monster’s gigantic eye is opened wide as smokes fumed out of the white part of the eye . [Ooouuggguueehhh...] I’m patiently waiting for this monster to die . The gauge I used earlier is about to be emptied out . [] The monster’s gigantic eye closed . After waiting for a while, the monster finally died out of poison . My level is still increasing . [This is...] If the level limit is not 999, would I be able to exceed Lv 1000? I look around my surroundings . [I guess I should look around the area for the time being . ] I start searching the surrounding area while being vigilant for any danger that may show up . I don’t know how far I should travel until I reach the upper grounds . It would be good if I could secure a base for me to stay at for the time being . I found some door-like objects along my search in this ruins . However, all of them were tightly closed . It won’t open even if I push or pull them . There’s also no handle for it to be a sliding door . [Hmm? This jewel—] I have just noticed something . I recalled the jewel in the leather bag I have . [Does these doors require for me to inject magic energy on them?] I decided to inject magic power in it . The gauge in the jewel started accumulating the magic energy . Ah, now that I think about it... [Status Open . ] Displaying my current status . MP: + 31345/31713 With this, I can confirm the decrease of MP as I’m injecting it to this door . I can now also keep track on how much magic energy I need for the gauge to fill up . The gauge is now full . Looking at how much my MP has decreased— about 1500 MP is the required magic energy to be injected . The door then started to vibrate subtly . It opened from the middle as the door split open to the left and right . I went inside while keeping being cautious for any surprise attacks . [This room should be... around 8 tatami mats wide?] My eyes came upon a table and some chairs made of stone . I can also confirmed some furniture-like objects here and there . There’s also some kind of crude cloth that’s spread around the floor . Was the a former resident of this place used to sleep there? The place looks like it’s uninhabited . I sit in one of the chairs . [Ahh... this feels great...] I feel like it has been ages since I last “sat down on a chair”... Once again, I realize that I’m a child raised in a modern civilization . [Well then . ] I get up from my seat and went to the door . The jewel had already lost its color . I display my status again in preparation . I will try injecting 1500 MP into the jewel in the door again . The door closed along with its subtle vibrations . [I see . ] It’s necessary to inject magic energy for opening and closing of the door . I inject magic energy to the door again . As the door opened, I went out of the room . I want to check how the other rooms look like . The second room I went to was empty . There are only crude furniture made out of stone similar to those in the first room . The third room was also like that . The rooms’ appearance were all same and it continued even when I have reached the seventh room . But, the eighth room was different . I’ve found them . Humans — that is . No, to be exact, two human skeletons . [These skeletons should also be from disposed people, right?] Both of the skeletons were wearing light armor . These light armor looks quite old . Guessing by how these two are dressed, I think they should be a man and a woman . How long has it been since they were disposed? The two skeletons were sitting side by side with the wall behind their backs . It’s as if these two were quite close to each other . I’ve also just noticed it but they were also holding the hand of the other . They have probably taken refuge here as they run for their life . There were brutal monsters roaming about outside . They would be killed if they were to go outside . They couldn’t go out of this room . Having neither food nor water, They have chosen to die in this place together . There is no traces in this room that they have been in conflict at all . They had simply accepted that they would die together . [...that’s quite amazing of them . ] After I voiced out my thoughts, I checked out in search of what they have . rustle, rustle This and that are different things . There’s no place for sentimental things in this kind of situation . I have to search for something I can still make use of . Even I might die in this place . I have to search for something that may seem even a little bit useful . The sword leaning to the side already had its blade chipped and cracked . When it comes to the staff, the crystal part on the head of the staff is already broken . [...it’s no use . ] The clothes I’m wearing now, the school uniform and the cloak I’m wearing over it should be enough . Moving in clothes I’ve already grown accustomed to is easier . Most of all, the skeletons’ clothes was just as damaged as the other equipment they have . I also don’t want to change into it, hygienically-speaking . Hmm? I noticed some kind of small pouch in the pocket of the skeleton’s clothing . I can feel its weight as I take it out of the pouch . Confirming the contents of the pouch... [Are these... jewels?] The pouch is crammed with jewels that glitter blue . After looking around the contents of the pouch, there were some silver coins mixed in . It may be possible to turn these coins to money when I’ve finally reached the ground above . It would be nice if these silver coins were the currency used above ground though... Anyway it is, I’m quite thankful I’ve acquired something worth of money . Because no matter which world it is, money would always be necessary . I went to the two skeletons and spoke . [I’m sorry, but I’ll be taking these . ] I put the pouch of jewels inside the pocket beneath my uniform . But... I’ve discovered one important thing . That perhaps, this room can be a safe zone when it’s closed off by injecting the door with magic energy . It seems like the monsters here in this area can’t inject magic energy towards the doors . Or is it that the monsters just don’t know that the doors would open if they do it? Anyway, I could finally secure a bed for me to sleep peacefully in . Thanks to my leather bag, I’ve also got an stable supply of food and water . [With this place as my base, leveling for some time should not be a bad idea...] I resumed my exploration in this ruins area while I was arranging my plans for the near future . v During my search in the nearby area, I’ve encountered another one of those spherical eye monster again . It seems that I have not been noticed by that guy yet . I target the eyeball and release from behind a building of this ruins . I followed up with . And when the gauge for paralysis is about to run out, I released towards it . Before I could even repeat the combo for a second time, the monster had already died . Great, my MP is fully recovered again . It would be better to understand that I’m jumping levels because of the monstrous amount experience of I’m gaining from the monsters here . Therefore, I want to raise my level as much as possible before I would leave this place and reach the ground above . However, my skill level doesn’t increase that easily . Well, the skill is exceptional even with the current skill level, so I can give up on leveling them . In the first place, I’ve never thought that my skill level would rise again by how slow it’s increasing . I’m under the impression that my abilities would quickly rise as I just increase my level . I resume my exploration of this ruins . The number of rooms I had confirmed had reached a total of 24 rooms . You could see some regularity by how the rooms were arranged . If the pattern on how they arranged rooms were followed, this should be all of it . I choose one of the empty rooms and decided to use it as a base . I need to take some rest . When I have finished resting in the home base, I stand up . [Now then, shall we start?] Leveling up . And thus, I started leveling up in this ruins . It seems that this area is where those eyeball monsters had made its nest . I continued killing the eye monsters in the area even if it’s just me alone . About half a day has passed since I have started hunting monsters . I can’t see any eyeball monsters any longer . I went back to my home base and checked the jewel in my leather bag . The original yellow-green color has not returned yet . After confirming it, I proceed on leaving the room and went down to one of the areas where there are monsters left . I kill the monsters in the lower area with the usual skill combo of mine . After a while of doing that, monsters in that area also ceased to appear . I returned to the base again . This time though, the color of the jewel in the leather bag has returned . The meal of the day is a block-type nutritional supplement and oolong tea in a PET bottle . I’m quite grateful for the nutritional supplement . The food’s packaging is the same as the ones I saw back in my previous world . It makes me forget that I’m in a different world for a moment . [Fruits flavored, huh...] I unexpectedly quite like this . (T/N: not specified . ) [Chomp...] First is to chew it lightly with my molars . I feel like I bit something like a moist cookie . [Nyom, nyom... chomp, chomp...] The block was broken down in my mouth . A unique fluffy sweetness spreads out of the block . I could still feel the faint sweetness it’s releasing through the scent it gives off . However, I feel that just having this feels quite dry . Without delay, this is where I drink the oolong tea . (T/N: Hazure Waku is not a food novel . ) [Gokun, kokkunnn... muu... pfuhhaaa!] I could feel the astringent sweetness in my mouth stiffened . It’s not bad . The cookie-like dough flavor I had tasted in that nutritional supplement was easily swallowed away by the rushing liquids . I may be far from what you can call a gourmet . But, I can say that I unexpectedly like this kind of meal . Having finished my meal, I chopped the paper box of the nutritional supplement into a thousand pieces . It may be just a temporary way on dealing with things, but I’m now able to brush my teeth, even if the brush is hard to brush with . I’ve installed one of the dragon’s bones in front of the door just in case that someone approaches . I don’t think it would happen, but the possibility of a monster intruding here is not really zero . Well, that bone alarm device I made is meaningless against that floating eyeball monster . However, I think if it’s just against that eyeball monster, it’d be fine . If it can really get in, some of the doors in this ruins would have been opened already . Or so, I explained to myself as I fell asleep . After a long time, I was finally able to sleep without worrying about anything .
