I Became the Strongest With The Failure Frame【Abnormal State Skill】As I Devastated Everything Chapter 55

Chapter 55 The Abnormality that Began to Encompass the Ruins It happened just when I turned towards one of the passages . The cries of multiple monsters began resounding from the place where I came from . [Giggyyaahhhh!] [Gooeeeggeeehhh!] [Guoogggaahhhh!] The approaching cries suddenly came to a halt, but their ferocious roars kept on increasing, resounding from that area . [Kissiiaaahhhh!] These voices were in that location where Monk and the duo is nearby . Monk and that duo was already paralyzed and poisoned by me before . I wonder if they would die because of the poison . Or is it they would be killed by the monsters? I still don’t know what exactly happened . Along with these atrocious cries, I also seem to hear a short scream resound from that place . Pigimaru’s protrusion slithers out from the back of my neck with something that looks like a face on his protrusion . [Pigii!] Pigimaru looked a bit angry . It seems that he’s angry towards those guys we had met before . [It seems that you clearly know who you like and hate huh...] [Pii!] I killed some time at the corner of that passage . [Piipiipii? Piggiii!] Pigimaru warned me . The monsters that have been making noise at that place where Monk and the duo used to be . The ruckus that they have been making had subsided . It’s just that, their cries began to get nearer to where I am again . Are they able to follow me through my scent? [Their next prey is me, huh . ] [Gisshhhiiaaaaa!] I peeked out of the corner I’ve been hiding on and held out my hand towards them . This is already a tried and tested move that I could rely on . [Guugggooeee...] The first move would always be to seal the movement of the monsters that are about to swoop down on me . These monsters haven’t been affected that much by the poison that were already in Monk’s body . The virulent effects of my abnormal state skills... Does it affect no one other than the person that I had targeted? I returned towards where Monk and the duo used to be . It looks like they died as they were being eaten . Their corpses are stained all over with their blood . The blood even splattered all over the place . I thought about taking their money but— I think it ain’t worth the trouble . The satchels they have were torn apart and the coins were scattered everywhere . Their blood had already clung into the coins . There’s a possibility that the officers in the entrance of the ruins will check the coins that I have when I’m about to take them back home . [Just in case that they would really inspect such things, I think that it would really troublesome for me if they were to ask for some explanation from me . ] It will take some time and effort for me just to wipe the blood in these coins while I’m here underground . Fortunately, I am still not that desperate for coins . That’s why I decided to leave these corpses untouched . I turned back to the passage where I was hiding in earlier . The monsters that I had paralyzed and poisoned were still alive . It’s troublesome to just wait here for them to die from poison . I cut the monsters’ throats one by one with a dagger . Did I even get some experience points from them? However, my level haven’t risen ever since I have entered this ruins . I thought that I would gain some because I had been killing quite a lot of monsters from this ruins . Is it that the monsters in here also give low experience points? Then, it seems that there’s no need for me to go out of my way just to hunt them down . After I finished killing all these monsters, I went down to another floor . v This place had been narrower than I had thought . I feel cramped in here . It may have been because the Disposal Ruins was too wide . I already traveled quite some distance while I killed the monsters I encountered with the combination of paralyze and poison . At present, the only problem I have is the range of my . The range of is about 20 meters . In other words, I can use this skill as a long-ranged weapon . So, the first move that I will always use would be If they were given enough time, I could use at that time but... At that pace, it would take some time for it to gain sufficient experience . I want to reach Lv 3 . As I proceed deeper into the ruins, the frequency of seeing other mercenaries have decreased . My level still haven’t gone up . I hid in the shadows and confirmed how much MP I have . MP: +58517/59037 I don’t have to worry that much about my remaining amount of MP . By the way, I have just known this morning that my MP recovers every time I get some sleep . Last night, I had checked my remaining MP before I went to bed . When I confirmed my status when I have woke up, I saw that my MP has recovered . It seems that MP recovers after a certain amount of sleep . I remembered back when I had stayed in the residential area of the Disposal Ruins . The frequency of checking my status had decreased because I had been leveling up and my MP would recover every time I do . At those times that I had rested there, my MP may have recovered a little but I haven’t noticed . Anyway, now I can freely use my MP with ease . I check the time in my pocket watch . I bought this in one of the stores that I had visited together with Mist . [I guess it’s about time for me to take some break . ] [Pii . ] There are several rooms that I could rest on in this ruins . It seems that the mercenaries and the private soldiers of the marquis had set up these rooms before while they were conducting their search . I heard that there were some kind people who would sometimes leave some preserved food and water . However, if someone were to retreat towards this place, there’s a high probability that monsters would occupy this place instead . I found a break room when I’ve reached the 10th floor . The door to the break room was marked with paint . This is the sign of a break room . However, it seems that there are already others that were in this room . Their voices were leaking out of the room . Human voices . It seems that this room isn’t occupied with monsters . I ask Pigimaru to remain vigilant towards the surroundings as I listen on their conversations . [Before we noticed it, we’re already in the 10th floor!] [Even the faster ones among the other mercenaries should still be around 7th floor right now . ] [And with that, we now have a perfect chance to get some rest . ] [As I thought, it’s still advantageous for those who were first to dive into the ruins . ] [Well, we still have to hunt these strong monsters that would come out from the newly discovered floor . ] It’s just a thought but... Are these the mercenaries who quickly went in here after the explanations have finished? [This is great! Our Drunken Sword Party will be the one who will acquire this Dragon Eye Sakazuki!] [That’s right!] [If we were to descend five floors more, we’ll finally reach the new floor! You guys, are you ready or what!?] [Leave it to me, Elder Sister!] [Okay! That’s a good reply!] It seems like the mercenaries here were the fastest ones to dive into this place . I don’t see any other mercenaries that have reached this floor... Now then— What should I do now? I actually want to take some break right now . It’s just that... I feel like renting the room together with them would make me a bit tired mentally . [......... . . ] That’s right . Should I just look for another break room that’s available and take my rest in there? I proceeded through the ruins and went down to the next three layers while killing all the monsters I’ve encountered . 13th floor . Two more floor to pass through and I would finally reach the new floor that have just been discovered . However, I still want to take a break before entering that new floor . When I was wandering through the 13th floor, I finally found a mark that I had seen before . The sign of a break room . [Guugggaarrruuaahhhh!] [Buuuuooooohhhh!] It seems that this room is occupied my monsters . Moreover, there are about ten of them in here . I could feel their killing intent gushing towards me . Designating multiple targets... [] [Guguuaahh!? Ugguuuahh...?] [] I had defeated the monsters that occupied the room . It’s just that... [How do I get these corpses out of here?] There’s even a big one mixed in along with those monsters . [......... . . ] Should I just forget about it and proceed another floor deeper? I went further into the 14th floor and tried searching for a break room while I killed all the monsters I’ve encountered . However, I haven’t found any break room at all . [It’s no good...] I reluctantly returned towards the break room in the 13th floor . I take the monsters out and cleaned the room as much as I could . [Fuuu...] This room is different from those room in the residential area of the Disposal Ruins . [Can I ask for you to keep a lookout while I sleep?] [Pii!] I’m really thankful that I had a comrade who I could ask for lookout . It’s really different compared to that time when I was in the Disposal Ruins where I could hardly rest as all . I rest my back behind a wall and closed my eyes . v [————–] I opened my eyes . My consciousness have also began awakening . I check the pocket watch for the time . [I’ve had three hours of sleep, huh . ] [Pigii!] Shuba~ “There are no abnormalities!” It seems that’s what Pigimaru wants to say as he salutes with his protrusion . [Thank you . Umm, are you okay even if you haven’t slept?] [Piipii!] [However... don’t hesitate to say it if you want to take a break, okay? We don’t really have to participate in their struggle to find that Dragon Eye Sakazuki... We also don’t need to rush with diving into this ruins if it’s impossible . ] [Pii ♪ ] I have never seen Pigimaru sleeping before . Do slimes even sleep? When I had asked him about it before... [Pii?] It’s a reaction that looks like he doesn’t know whether to say yes or no . Wondering about that, I gave some dried meat towards Pigimaru . There are still many mysteries regarding slimes . [Pyuunyunyuu~ ♪ Pikyyuupikkyyuuu~ ♪ ] He’s happily eating the dried meat . It seems that it has a normal appetite... When we were able to satisfy some of our hunger, we promptly left the room . v We once again aimed towards the stairs leading towards the 14th floor . Since I have been there once before, I already know the general location of where the stairs are located . [Hmm?] A man who had varying expressions on his face is approaching . You could see other mercenaries following behind him . I put my guard up against him for a bit . He doesn’t seem to have any hostility towards me but... [Oi, you . ] This voice... Isn’t this voice from that fastest group in the break room from the 10th floor? I switch over to a humble mode as I spoke to them . [What do you want?] [There something weird that’s happening in this ruins right now . ] [Weird? What do you mean?] The people who seems to be from the Drunken Sword Party stopped in front of me . Everyone’s complexion looks like they’re pretty disappointed . Did something irregular happen without my knowledge? A red-haired woman from the back vomits as she looks pretty mortified . [Damn— He’s just another newcomer huh . ] A tanned man glances behind his back . [It’s just... it seems that there’s perhaps something that hasn’t happened in the past but is in the Mills Ruins right now . The guys who went here from the past already felt something really different exists in here . ] I was only sleeping for about 3 hours . Something must have happened around that time . I don’t think they looks angry because of the expressions of their faces and the shape of their mouth . It’s an expression where they’ve found something seriously unexpected . Even I got anxious as I asked them . [Specifically, what is this weird incident that has happened? Excuse me, but this is the first time that I have entered the Mills Ruins . ] The tanned man looks quite meek as he answered my question . [It’s just that... the monsters we have found before on our way here, they’ve died from something unnatural . ] [They’ve died from something unnatural, huh?] [Yeah . They’re all dead, but I can’t determine what in the world are the cause of their death . Their corpses have no wounds at all . There are also no particular changes in their body . The best that I could find was that their skin looks a bit deathly pale . ] Hmm?
