I Became the Strongest With The Failure Frame【Abnormal State Skill】As I Devastated Everything Chapter 52

Chapter 52 Mills Ruins raid begins The entrance of the ruins were surrounded by fences . It seems that the most of the ruins everywhere were managed like this . Mills Ruins is managed like this by the marquis too . There was a building erected near the ruins . It looks like a tiny fortress . The people who looks like they’re the ones managing the ruins is going in and out of the building . Most of them were armed . It is said that they also are preventing monsters from breaking out of the ruins . [Speaking of which, isn’t the Marquis going to send his own soldier to raid this ruins himself?] Before I entered the ruins, I asked that question to the officer who is in-charge of checking of luggage . [There are some mercenaries that may be recruited by Creed-sama as his private soldiers . For the mercenaries that had went here, this ruins raid is a great way for them to appeal for him to recruit them . ] A rootless mercenary . The private soldier of a noble family . If people would get to choose, most of them would want the latter . [Most of all, raiding the new floor of the ruins is also accompanied by danger . Creed-sama doesn’t want to lose his private soldiers that he’s already familiar with as much as possible . ] That means that these mercenaries that they’re sending were just disposable pawns, huh... I was honestly impressed . [You’re a man who sees through what’s hidden beneath the surface huh . ] [W-Well yeah . ] An officer who doesn’t have a remarkable face . He’s trying to suppress his face from slacking . There are some people who act sloppy after being praised . Just like Oyamada when he was praised by the goddess . The check officer glances around the surrounding area . The officer then softly whispers . [I’ll only tell you this, okay? Actually, you could make lots of money if you sell something like a map of the ruins that you had created or the information on where the monsters live . Creed-sama will buy it later . Well, it’s basically first-come, first-served so you have to be fast when you want to sell these information . ] He talked about a way to make money behind the scenes huh... I feel that I can now understand how their system works . They would first send mercenaries as the advance party in that new floor . They would then try to obtain the information about the new floor from the mercenaries . The strong monsters were being defeated by skillful mercenaries . These things would ensure the safety of the raid as much as possible . Later, the marquis would send his private soldiers to search for the next floor . And if they had found another new floor again, then another set of mercenary recruitment would happen again . A well done plan . [Hmm? What’s this?] The officer found Pigimaru in his crystal form . [It’s a tool for my business . Though I’d like to say that, I’m just in the stage where I still think that “It would be nice if I could get used to using this in the future . ”... I’m still a novice when it comes to this . ] I said it as shy as possible . [An apprentice fortune teller huh? You’re quite multi-talented . Good luck with that . ] [Thank you very much . ] The crystallized Pigimaru passed through the check easily . The last process they conducted is a body check from the neck down . I’ve also passed through this without any problem . By the way, a man is in charge of checking a man while a woman is in charge to a woman . It seems that they put some considerations in this . The officer in charge finally completes the process of registry . [Be careful in there . ] [Thank you also for that valuable information . ] While I was being checked, I’ve also gained some more information . When I asked about the other mercenaries, he said that most of them were impertinent people . Some of them just openly looks down on others . That’s why I feel that it’s a good idea that I acted low-key earlier . v I touched the walls of the ruins . [It seems that I won’t be needing the light from my leather bag while I’m here in the upper floors . ] There are some stones that were buried in the walls that lightly glows . It seems that it wouldn’t be necessary to use a torch in this floor . An underground pyroxene . When you dig them out of the wall, they would lose their light . It is said that they would lose their light even if you remove all of the surrounding walls . I heard that they also don’t know the principle of why this happens . These pyroxenes weren’t even spread out through all the floors . Therefore, you would still need sufficient lighting in those areas and the deeper parts where these pyroxenes don’t exist . These were some information that I had also heard from that officer . [Burrgguuaaahhh!!!] A monster’s roar . Coming from deep within one of the passages, I saw mercenaries running away . [Hiiiii! It’s a Kogyuuki! There’s no information about this monster being here before! It probably came out of the new floor!] [They have just discovered the new floor, it’s still disadvantageous to those who goes in first . ] [Run away~!] A small monster that looks like it’s the mixture of a cow and a human chased those mercenaries . They kind of reminds me of those Minotaurus in the Disposal Ruins . This one looks like it’s a small version of that Minotaurus . They have the same golden eye . However, their intimidating aura was quite thinner . Compared to those Minotaurus that I had faced before, as expected... [Guaa— Bumomooooo?] It seem that this Kogyuuki noticed me . He turned his body in my direction . It seems that he switched his target towards me . [Bururuuuu! Buu— guuuauaahhh!] Nyorori~ A protrusion came out from the side of my neck . [Pii!] “It’s coming!” Pigimaru cried out as if he’s saying that . [Yeah, I know . ] Today’s Pigimaru looks fired up as he cried out while he’s acting as my lookout . Are you trying to make up for your loss at that time when I intruded while I was bathing? I don’t think that focusing on loss is that good of a goal but... Well, it’s good that he’s fired up about something . [Burumoooooohhh!!!] The Kogyuuki is charging towards me . I reached out my hand on his direction in response . [] Pishi~ Piki— [Bubuuooo!? Bu... . moomoooo... . ?] [] Paralysis and poison successfully invoked . I pull out the dagger from my waist . I tried to stab the blade against the skin of the monster . Gusa~ [Buuumooo!] I can feel that the blade as it buried through its flesh . It’s sticking through his flesh . I pull out the knife . [As I thought, it’s just that the skin of the monsters in that Disposal Ruins were too tough...] At least against a monster like this, the sharpness of this dagger is enough to pierce through their skin . It seems that I can use this to peel off its skin as a material . No other mercenaries appeared while I’m waiting for this Kogyuuki to die . After a moment, the Kogyuuki finally dies . My level still didn’t rise . Although I had already expected it, the amount of experience that I get here seems to be low . No, it’s probably just the monsters in the Disposal Ruins give out too many experience points . I promptly left the place . A little later, I felt presences from my back as they approached and their voices called out to me . [O- Over there! That’s where that Kogyuuki went! We’ll leave it to you!] [Yeah, leave it to me!] [Damn it! This is why I don’t like raiding a ruin after a new floor were just discovered!] [We can’t help it! After the discovery of a new floor, new monsters who reside in that floor would come out after a while!] [Though you said that, only those who get in there first would have higher chance to obtain the treasures! Thank you for your help here, but we’re going in first–! I turned to a corner without worrying about them . Those several presences stopped behind the corner, near where I had left the Kogyuuki’s corpse . [I- It’s already dead...]] [It looks like other mercenaries has already defeated it . ] [How should I say this... There’s no wound on its body though? Did he defeat it by using a technique? I can’t find anything that had changed from this corpse...] [Don’t you feel that its skin is subtly discolored?] [No way... Don’t tell me that’s the rumored sorcery that I heard recently?] [No, wait . If you look at it closely, there is a wound in here . ] [This wound, I think it’s from a dagger...?] [Wow!? It’s just one stab from a dagger!? Against a Kogyuuki!? How skillful is he!?] It didn’t die from the stab of a dagger though . [......... . ] I decided to quickly descend to the next floor .
