I Became the Strongest With The Failure Frame【Abnormal State Skill】As I Devastated Everything Chapter 73

Chapter 73 Possibly, The Most Suitable... The direction where those black dragons flew away . The dragon’s roars . I followed these and entered the forest . Thanks to that, tracking these dragons weren’t difficult . My running speed . Stamina . Is it thanks to the correction in my status? Having both of them in my arsenal, it helped me arrive before anything bad had happened . Seras slips out from under the man wearing a black armor . I could exclude some target under my discretion while I’m designating multiple targets . Therefore, she is not paralyzed together with the others . My skill is quite convenient . [To—] Seras quickly closes her mouth . It seems like she was about to speak out my name . However, it seems that she has averted the situation where the man in armor hears my name . It seems that she has earnestly thought what I said before . [Umm... I guess I should thank you first for helping me out . ] Seras respectfully bowed . [I’m glad I came right in time . ] After saying so, I turned towards the man in black armor . [Is this one of those Black Dragon Knights?] [Yes, they seem to be the Bakuos Empire’s Dragon Knights . ] [Is this guy one of those rumored Five Dragons?] [No, though he called himself the deputy of the vanguard corps of one of the Five Dragons . ] Seras stands next to me . I then turned towards the girl beside me . [It seems that you’re in quite a mess . ] [Why did you come here...?] Seras’ eyes were still towards the paralyzed dragon knight and that black dragon of his . It seems that she’s still wary about them . Before I answered her question... [] I invoked Poison into the dragon knight . For the time-being, I’ve only set it into non-lethal . Though, I’ve applied lethal poison towards the black dragon . Now that I’ve confirmed that the poison has been endowed towards them, I began answering her questions . [Rumors about you has been flowing around Mills without pause . These rumors said that you had escaped . You even managed to escape towards this place . And so, I came into this forest again just to search for you . ] The seriousness on Seras’ face began increasing . [That isn’t what I w- wanted to know . What I wanted to ask was...] [Wait . ] [Eh?] [] I made both the dragon knight and the black dragon fall asleep . If she were to ask some questions one after another, she may slip out something that others must not hear . As if she felt a bit ashamed, Seras looked down . [I- I’m sorry that I didn’t notice . If we were to talk about complicated things, you would have to deal with eavesdroppers first . Umm, then... Why are you here?] [I hired you as my escort . Besides, according to the information I received in MIlls, it wasn’t like you’ve betrayed and ditched us . ] [Pii♪] Pigimaru happily added his comment too . [D- Didn’t you understand after this happened? If you were to stay with me...] [I will also be chased by the Black Dragon Knights?] [T- That’s right . That’s why, please get away from this place already . For now, it seems that they haven’t sensed your presence yet except for this man...] [Can’t we just escape together after you use that Illusion Technique you’ve used before? Or is it that you can’t change your face other than to that face you’ve used before?] [I can indeed use it to change into other faces but... the spirit that could use the illusion is currently confused right now after the effects of the Illusion Breaker . I can’t seem to be able to use its ability until it calms down . ] [When will its confusion subside?] [...I don’t know . ] Seras takes out a pouch from her pocket . [I’m sorry . That guard mission that we’ve talked about before, I will be canceling it . I will also be returning this Azure Dragon Stone back to you . ] I breathe out a sigh . [Why is it suddenly canceled?] [Like I said...] Seras puts her hand over her chest . [If you are together with me, you would be exposed to danger . ] She looks like she’s quite pained when she said this . [To be honest, this is really quite troublesome . ] [Yes— That’s right! It would be quite troublesome if you were to go with me . ] I inadvertently scratch my head . [That’s not what I mean . ] [W- Well then, what do you—] [I mean, it’s a hassle for me to search for a guard again that equals or exceeds you in the requirements that I needed for my guard . ] [———–] I feel like Seras’ words were stuck under her throat . She took a brief pause... And then after that, I could see some indications of her tenaciously facing me . [I- If you were to go north of Mills, then you should be able to pass by the capital city of Urza before you get into the Demon Zone . You should be able to hire a skilled mercenary there . If you want to exchange the Azure Dragon Stone into money so that you could hire an expensive mercenary, I can also tell you about someone that I know that could exchange that jewel...] As I thought, she knew of an under the table route to cash out this Azure Dragon Stone huh... [Hey, Seras . Which of us has the problem here?] [P- Problem...?] [The reason for cancelling out our agreement . Is the problem on your side or in my side?] Seras cast her eyes downwards . [...I- It goes without saying . It’s my problem . ] [Then, there’s no problem with it . Our agreement shall continue . ] [H- Hati-dono!] [Take off your clothes here . ] Seras’s time suddenly stopped . Her eyes blinked out in surprise . [—Eh?] I put down the backpack I’m carrying . I started taking out women’s clothing that I bought before . [The size may be a bit different, but I have procured you some clothes . Those guys back in Mills should still remember the clothing that you’ve been wearing . Just in case, you would avoid wearing those clothes you’ve worn before until we’ve entered the Demon Zone . ] [Ah— S- So that’s what you mean...] Seras seems to be a bit embarrassed . Hmm? Ah, I see . [Did you get confused by the words I spoke before . I’m sorry about that . ] [That’s right... Though it was a fact that I’m a bit upset—] Seras looks as if she suddenly became aware of something . [P- Please wait! Our guard agreement would be going to continue for quite some time, but my problem is much bigger than you might be thinking...] I turned towards the dragon knight that has been suffering in his sleep . [I’ve heard about it before, that the Black Dragon Knights were supposed to be strongest . Was it something like the strongest Knight Corps in the whole continent? And, this supposedly strongest knights were chasing you . That’s why you have to escape while you have to keep yourself hidden from their sight... or something like that, right?] [............ . . ] Did I push it too far? [Can I ask your real reason why you want to go to Jonato?] I thought that she would probably not say anything and began suspecting me but... After hesitating to speak out a few moments, Seras finally confided . [From the port at the western borders of Jonato, there is a ship that goes towards the west continent . However, it requires a lot of money to get into that ship . ] I see . That’s why she needed that 300 gold coins . [Is that story about you’re participating in this call for the Monks not true?] [Yes... I’m sorry that I’ve lied about it before . ] I’m not really that surprised . I thought it was possible that she could have lied about some things . Our conversation continues . [To put it shortly, it should be fine if you could just hide yourself somewhere safe?] [That’s right . That’s what I was—] Seras grasps her hand tightly and places it over her chest . [Because, that’s the last command I received from that person . ] It seems that there was someone who guided Seras’ escape somewhere . The way she spoke about it... Well, that place should be good enough . [Thereupon, I have a suggestion for you . ] I spoke about the suggestion I have . [How about trying to negotiate whether the Witch of Taboos can hide you?]
