I Became the Strongest With The Failure Frame【Abnormal State Skill】As I Devastated Everything Chapter 48

Chapter 48 Disposal Ruins Investigation Team Several men were walking in the dark forest . A member of the investigation team suddenly stopped and looked back at something he didn’t notice before . [What in the world are those corpses?] Hearing him, I also turned around and looked at what he’s looking at . [I don’t know . Those corpses looks like a fallen mercenaries to me . ] [Are they perhaps on their way to Mills?] [That’s possible . Other than our group, the only people who pass through this forest are those who are heading towards Mills . ] I noticed that one of the members looked really pale . He is very pale . [Have you ever seen a corpse that had turned into that state before?] [Ye... Yes...] The corpses were terrible . There were a total of four of them . None of their faces could be identified . It must have been eaten by some kind of beast or a monster . One of the members knocked over the sword that was hanging on the waist of one of the corpses . [To fall in a forest like this, these mercenaries probably aren’t that strong . ] [These corpses, no one of them had any money?] Anyone could seldom find that much money from dead corpses . Of course, that includes the baggage they had . However, no money were found on these corpses . [They may have encountered a robbery . Well, it’s rumored that there have been occasional robberies going on in here . ] [Does that mean that after these people were killed by a monster, other travelers who pass by looted these corpses?] [If they were just going to be killed by some random monster in this forest, they shouldn’t have bothered becoming a mercenary . ] [Did a monster finally come out from the Disposal Ruins?] [Hahaha, if that were so, then we have to ask the Magic Knights to handle this instead . ] [You’re right . ] The members tried to insert some jokes into their deductions of what they think could have happened to those people . [Oh, we can finally see our workplace . ] Disposal Ruins . The familiar landscape . There would be no change yet again this time . That’s natural, or so the captain thought . [There’s no abnormality this time again . ] One of the loose-lipped members spoke . [This job sure doesn’t have that much change . ] [An unchanging job is fine . Okay, I’ll do the usual confirmation . ] [Captain, you’re so serious~] [It’s because this is still our work . ] This is the job that was tasked to them by their Allied Kingdom, Allion . A periodic survey to the Disposal Ruins . Urza Kingdom and Allion Kingdom have been hand in hand together . These two kingdoms have a good relationship that they had been maintaining for a long time . I’m glad that I got this job . I strongly like that . First of all, the pay for this job is good . And yet, the job is very easy to do . I take out a magic tool from my bag . This is a magic tool that was personally made by Goddess Vysis . For many years, this investigation had been occurring from one team to another . I walked along the walls of the ruins . I traced around for quite some time until I pressed on one unsuspecting part of the wall . Clank~ clunk~ A dent appeared out of nowhere . It’s an elongated hole that is just wide enough for an arm to fit through . I would then bring the crystal near the hole . It’s a black crystal . If you see this crystal’s color turn to platinum, then the work is over . I don’t know the principle of why the crystal changes color . However, I had no intention to investigate the reason . An easy job . Everyone in the Investigation Team is happily enjoying the leisurely job . I know what kind of place this Disposal Ruins is . But I’m not interested . It has nothing to do with me whoever is sent to wherever it is . It’s a discussion that has nothing to do with my life . If I can have an easy life without danger, then that’s just fine . I don’t wish for any change in my life . Everyone was used to the leisure of our job . Even I’m the same as them . I don’t want any trouble in my life . I just want to continue to do this good-paying job with ease . [Hmm? What the?] [What happened, Captain?] [The color didn’t change . ] The black crystal didn’t even shine at all . There’s always something that behind that hole that made the crystal shine into platinum . The crystal at my hand should have changed its color in response to that . [Captain! Does this mean—] [Ah...] My eyes turned serious as I looked at the others . With a stern expression, I held my hand over my mouth . [I guess this crystal had finally reached its end . ] [Even the magic tool that the Goddess had personally made had a lifetime too~] Clink~ I poke the crystal with my fingertip . [I guess we have to this crystal changed for a new one . ] [When we get back, should we report this to Allion?] [No—] I replied quickly within a beat . [I can just tell them at the time of the regular report . That should be about half a year later . ] [Is that okay?] [The procedures to handle matters are really troublesome especially when the news have to be sent to Allion . The procedures would be easy if it would be just talked about in this country . ] [Ah... I understand . ] The Investigation Team started preparing to leave the Ruins . [Well, I guess the report this time should be “No Abnormalities” as usual . In fact, I can’t anything that had changed at all . ] [Well, what if there may actually be some people who had lived and managed to get out of this Disposal Ruins?] [Hahaha! That’s impossible!] Laughing and joking with the rest, I turned back and looked at the ruins . [There was no record of someone of someone who has managed to live through there and escape the ruins even once, even after examining the past records about this ruins . ] The Disposal Ruins with zero survival rate . There can be no change . I put the crystal that doesn’t work anymore into my leather bag that was strapped on my belt . [This will be just an easy job . Absolutely . ]
