I Became the Strongest With The Failure Frame【Abnormal State Skill】As I Devastated Everything Chapter 42

Chapter 42 The Raceof Beautiful People I started to move while hiding my presence . An opponent who gives off this kind of intimidation... I still can’t determine if it’s an enemy . However, I already had a guess based on the conversation that those four people had before . “This is the wrong guy, right?” “But, as expected I couldn’t put my hands towards the prey...” It may come from the one they were chasing . [Nevertheless... I think that the one they’re chasing after had the intention to fight back . ] He plans to attack from the front huh... If he plans to launch a surprise attack, he should have erased his presence . But, he have such a stupidly deep fighting spirit full of simpleness . It’s as if he’s intentionally expressing his defiance . Is he that confident with his abilities? Or is it that he’s just stupidly honest? I pick up one of the thick branches nearby . Hyuuu... I threw it somewhere diagonally in front of me . Gasa... In just that one moment... [Pii . ] Pigimaru, who was also peeking out through his protrusion signalled me by making a small cry . The other party have moved . Pigimaru’s protrusion would show the direction where he had moved . He moves frighteningly quick . It’s as if he’s a raging gale . I quickly stood up and made my move . I will catch him off guard when I attack him from the back . It seems that he’s also surprised when he noticed me behind her . But, he’s a bit slower in his response . [] He was not able to turn towards me . No— he can’t turn towards me . It seems that he’s confused why his body can’t move . Now that I looked at her closely, it appears she’s apparently a woman . Is that a hood covering her head? No, that’s wrong . It’s those things... It looks closer to what nuns wear . If I’m not mistaken, they’re called veils, right? Or rather, aren’t hoods those head covers that extends or connected to their backs? Just like those hoods in a parka . The next thing that caught my attention is her overall attire . Is it possible to explain it if I just said that she’s wearing a dress-like armor? The base color of her armor and other equipment is white . There are also blue and green streaks added on some parts . Her hair is a pale yellow, like the color of lemons . Her hair was tied into a ponytail which drooped down to her back . It seems she have quite a slender body, though it may be somewhat be difficult to know of because of her armor . But, the thing that I was most concerned about... [I felt your intent to attack me—... though I also felt some impurities mixed along in your killing intent . Anyway, that’s beyond the point . ] I found out that the nature of her killing intent has changed along the way . I feel hesitation in them . The quality of her killing intent was different from those with pure killing intent, nor those mixed with sadistic tendencies . Compared to the monsters from the ruins and the four people that I had just met, her killing intent shows a different emotion . After being able to compare these kinds of killing intents, I could finally understand the difference between them . [I felt that there’s something different from the four-person group I had met earlier, so I guess I’ll talk to you for a bit . Though I said that, I’ll keep your movement sealed just in case . ] There is that unchangeable fact that my opponent might have dangerous thoughts . Though if you ask me, I’d rather face those four from before . Therefore, the fact that I’ve gained the initiative could be considered a win for me . There’s nothing better than making every situation more favorable towards myself . [What... do... you... want...?] The woman asked . I guess I’ll answer honestly for the time being . [If I were to put it simply, I feel like I lost my way . If you’re knowledgeable about this place, tell me where the nearest town or village is . I’m not a local of this place . It’s also because of it that I don’t know those things that you’d usually call common knowledge . That’s why I want you to tell me everything I need to know about this place—] There is some change on the woman . I could see some confusion in her . It slowly turned to doubt... I slowly walked in front of her while being careful for sudden attacks . [...a blindfold?] Is it included to that equipment she’s wearing on her head? That part have completely covered her eyes . It’s as if she’s wearing an eye mask . I looked down slightly . The whiteness of her skin stands out now that I’m looking at her in the front . Her chin have a bit of rotundity in her acutely-angled jaws . She could be considered to be someone who have a small face in her head . (T/N: kogao, some japs are obsessed with them . ¯_(ツ)_/¯) The thin lips of the charming woman is faintly quivering [Those... four...?] [—Are they your friends?] [They’re... not...] [.........] Talking with someone who is paralyzed is really difficult . There is also quite a bit of the remaining gauge left . Sigh... It can’t be helped . [I’ll make it so that you can just move your mouth so that we could make this conversation easier . ] It’s actually the whole head that would be released, but... I’ll just say that I will release her “mouth” here . I declared as such so that I could control the way our conversation goes . [But... Try anything funny, and I’ll use my skill on you again . I’ll also make sure that such movements have some appropriate punishments prepared for them . Are we clear?] I guess this should do for now . The other party should now have thought that I would use my “paralysis skill” on her again . However, it is actually impossible to stack the same skill in a row . Well, it’s not like I told any lie to her . After all, I will just my other skill on her if she tries anything strange . However, I can’t really talk with someone when they’re sleeping... That’s why, I would avoid using if possible . Well, I could just make her sleep, then bind her with some rope but— let’s just leave that for later if I she doesn’t cooperate . Pigimaru’s staying silent . It’s as if it had completely read the air and kept its breath . I was impressed by its spontaneous act... Or rather, I feel like Pigimaru had been getting smarter . It took a few moments, but the woman have finally replied . [Yes . ] I tapped the gauge that was floating near her head and tapped the Partial Release (Head) tag that appeared next to it . The way of changing the display works the same way as the other cancellation options of my skills . Kasha... After partially releasing her paralysis, I took a bit of distance away from her just in case . The woman just stared at me blankly . [—I can... finally talk... like normal...] [The only part you can move is your mouth . I’m sorry, but I still don’t trust you . There’s a lot of people that I have met before I got in here . That’s why, I can’t easily trust a stranger . ] [No— It’s not wrong for you to be vigilant against strangers . It’s just how a traveler like you would naturally think . ] She said no sudden insults . Is this just how she normally is? I could hear her clear voice filled with determination . If someone like a pure knight exists, he might be someone like this . I observed her again . With the way she looks, I think you could even say she could make money with just her appearance . I took a glance at the yellow gauge . I noticed one thing just now . It may be because I haven’t partially released those four-people just now, that’s why I haven’t really noticed it and it made me really uncomfortable now that I did . It’s probably because there’s no one other than me who can see the gauge . They’re not aware of this gauge . In other words, they can’t guess that there should be a time limit on my skill if they can’t see the slowly decreasing gauge . If I were to use my skill on someone who had never been targeted before, maybe I could just fool them and tell them that the effect is permanent? [There is one thing that I want to ask before I would answer your questions . ] [I’d answer it depending on what your question is . ] [Did you meet a four-person group earlier?] [I met them . ] [Where are they?] [I killed them . ] [......eh? You killed them? [Did I do anything wrong? They look like sh*t who can never change, and with the way their conversation went earlier, I think that these four were actually chasing you . ] [Ah— No... It’s not that you did anything wrong . It’s true that they were really chasing after me . It’s just that...] The woman looks at me as if she’s ascertaining if I’m telling the truth . [The White Walker... Don’t tell me, with just you alone? Or are there perhaps, some of your friends nearby?] [...I have one friend nearby . I’ve gotten rid of them along with my friend . It’s just that, I don’t intend to show my friend to you . ] I’m not lying about this either . Certainly, there is one more person “lurking” in here . I’ll just let her think that I have a friend nearby who she can’t see . This should also be an effective means of blocking her way just in case she ever intends to move . Anyway, for those four people to actually have a great reputation... Well, those four were not on this woman’s side . It’s enough that I know this now . Thanks to that, it became easier for me to talk to her . After all, it’d be harder to talk to her if I had actually killed her friends... [............ . ] Though I said that, I still can’t trust this woman yet . For example, this woman isn’t even showing her “eyes” . I’ve heard before that you could tell if someone is telling the truth through his eyes more than through what he speak . Did she hide her eyes so that others couldn’t see through her lies? That’s what I thought... Kasha... –when that veil that was covering her eyes slid upwards . What a nice timing . I don’t think... that she’s been reading my mind . I observe the appearance of the woman again now that the areas where that veil has covered before was being revealed . She have neatly arranged double eyelids . Her beautiful set of eyelashes are really elegant . She also have quite an intriguing, pale blue eyes . I wonder if I’ve ever seen eyes as clear as hers before . The cover in her face was completely removed and I could now clearly see her face . She’s what you would undoubtedly call a beauty . Though, she had this mysterious beauty that’s made her be disconnected from the average people . When I looked at her, only “that race” came on to my mind . In the literary creations that could be seen nowadays, they are often depicted as beings who have a slender figure along with beauty that surpass all the others . Their race was commonly called referred to as “Elves” . However, she doesn’t have that “part” of her which symbolizes them the most . Right... [......... . ] The woman’s ears that had been revealed after her veil was removed, is undoubtedly from a human .
