I Became the Strongest With The Failure Frame【Abnormal State Skill】As I Devastated Everything - Chapter 16

My entirety in this final wager

I felt that the bird head was shaken.

Immediately, the whole bird head changed color.

It became purple.

Pokopoko…

Poko~…

Translucent purple bubbles emerge from the bird head’s skin.

Powawa……

Powa, powa…

It’s like a little soap.

The bubbles slowly floated up.

Afterward, the bubbles shrunk and disappeared in the air.

Or so it seems.

[Probably, with this…]

Poison State Endowment.

It’s this.

Success!

Mimori Touka’s Abnormal State Skill.

The success rate probability for the time being is 100%.

Well, except for that time with that sh*tty goddess.

Probably because it’s paralyzed, the bird head is standing half-bent over.

It’s somewhat creepy.

The yellow gauge of <Paralyze> is still there.

But I don’t see any gauge for poison.

I though a purple gauge would come out.

I was concerned about one thing about the use of <Poison>.

If I add poison, it may overwrite and eliminate the effect of paralysis.

However, poisoning and paralysis can be used together.

Combo complete.

Combination of paralysis and poison.

I can do this.

This deserves a moderate guts pose.

Alright…

My emotions spring forth.

Delight, that is.

All I have to do now is to wait.

Just pray and wait.

If this thing dies of poison,

If I can defeat it,

My level may go up.

On the other hand, I’m uneasy about some things.

If there is a concept of damage, would this be enough to poison him to death?

What if you’re poisoned, you will still have 1 HP remaining at the end?

It will not be zero.

Direct damage is required to pierce it to death.

I saw this kind of pattern in a game in the original word.

And… is the poison damage a fixed value?

Or is it the type that varies depending on the strength of the opponent?

Fixed value, huh?

Or is it by percentage?

The usefulness will change considerably depending on which one it will be.

[Pi, go, po. Po, pi, ko…. KKoooeeee…]

Isn’t its voice getting weaker?

It is getting weaker.

Probably.

But I still don’t know if it’s a fixed value or a percentage damage.

Unexpectedly, it’s more likely to be fixed damage.

[But anyway it is, it’s getting weaker.]

Naturally, my mouth can’t stop grinning.

I probably have a strange smile right now.

A smile with a mix of joy and hopefulness even in the face drenched with sweat.

[I may be able to kill it.]

This monster from the ruins.

v

I kept looking at the gauge.

Waiting for the death of the monster.

While sitting in front of the bird head.

The bird head continues to be paralyzed and poisoned.

I just have to keep watching.

If the yellow gauge is gone. the paralysis will probably run out…

Before the gauge runs out, stack another <Paralyze>…

Before the gauge runs out, stack another <Paralyze>…

Before the gauge runs out, stack another <Paralyze>…

I mutter to myself like so.

[Now that I think about it…]

I’ve forgot about it because of my success in stacking…

But how about my MP?

I have to check my status…

MP: +0/33

The correction value has been emptied.

What would happen if I continue to use Abnormal State skills in this state?

It’s possible that it may influence the consciousness like dizziness.

And lastly, I may faint…

Just like the pattern in manga where you exhausts mental power.

Though I should avoid fainting at all.

If I faint in this place, my death is assured and settled.

The bird head’s eyes.

We made eye contact.

[What, you’re trying to kill me– it’s been said you know, you have the gut to kill so be ready to be killed… so don’t bother…]

You are trying to kill me.

I will try to kill you too.

In order to survive.

Our feeling are mutual. (T/N: not sure. オ互イサマダロ )

Die.

Die.

Die.

I’ts quite strange especially since I’m in the dark.

It looks very weird.

You can see it slowly peeling off.

Sympathy.

Morals.

I shouldn’t kill.

Certainly, I shouldn’t do that.

But then, I would die.

If I don’t kill, I would die.

In this kind of place, I shouldn’t not kill.

Certainly, meaningless killing is despicable.

However, the killing here has a clear meaning.

It’s a survival of the fittest.

In order to live, kill.

A limit?

Here? In this kind of place?

In this disposal ruins?

Even if this is another world?

……………..

F**k that.

For now, I have to watch.

The death of the monster in front of me.

[………………]

Observing the death of this creature.

For a long time.

There’s no sign of it being able to move.

I stand up.

I tried to crush the eyeball of the bird head with a sharp stone.

It was impossible.

The eyeball was covered with a thin, hard transparent film.

Time slowly passes by.

The gauge is running low.

The effect of <Paralyze> will soon expire…

I have to start stacking.

<Paralyze>

<Overlapping endowment of the same skill is not allowed>

[……eh?]

It’s impossible to stack?

Ah, I see.

Maybe it must be done after the effect has expired.

In other words, it’s only possible to endow <Paralyze> at the moment when it runs out.

My reflexes are the key.

The bird head may attack at the moment it breaks free.

I raise my arms.

It’s about to run out.

Soon.

…………….

The gauge disappeared.

[ko, ko~, ~e, ~e, ~e—- pa pi gu ~e gyo e e ~e!]

[<Paralyze!>]

The bird head is in the motion of turning its four arms…

I’d finally confirm if it can still move.

That aside,

[It doesn’t work…?]

No way,

[Such a thing…]

Is it because I’m out of MP?

<Continuous endowment of the same skill to the same target is not permitted>

Wrong!

It’s not that I ran out of MP!

I just can’t use it!

For the same target!

Even after the effect expires, the same skill can’t be endowed continuously.

I retreat back one step.

The bird head firmly steps on the ground.

zushi ~tsu…

It’s probably thanks to the effect of poison.

It’s body seems to be heavy.

It’s getting weaker.

It’s definitely working, the poison.

However, I’m now in a crisis.

There’s no point in using <Paralyze> again.

What do I do?

No, wait.

Calm down.

That’s it.

There is still another way–

[S- <Sleep>!]

Fuyoyoyo~

Powa~a ~n

The bird head’s eyelids start to fall.

[Po~? Ko ~o ~o…….. ~o?]

Gura ~a ~tsu

The black-skinned giant is starting to stagger.

Doshin ~tsu!

The bird head have collapsed forward.

[It worked…?]

Because <Sleep> was not the same skill as <Paralyze>?

Shortly after, a blue gauge is now displayed.

[Fuh… fuh… fuh… fu~u…]

I exhaled with my trembling lips.

Sweat flows around my body.

–I can do this.

Alternate endowment of paralyze and sleep.

In this case, as long as my MP allows it, even an infinite combo can be established.

Yeah…

Next, I have to check before the <Sleep> gauge runs out.

Whether or not <Paralyze> can be stacked.

Powawa…

Powa, powa…

Okay.

The poison effect is not broken.

The <Poison> can be treated as a separate system among the three skills I have because its effect is sustained.

That may be the reason of why the system of Abnormal State Skill is like that.

However, the amount of sweat in my body are increasing.

I wipe the sweat off my forehead.

[Ah, that may be it.]

This sweat.

This may be the effect of the consumption of my own MP.

[But–]

I look down at the bird head.

It’s already greatly weakened.

I feel that its life is rather thin compared to before.

Poko…

Pokopoko ~o……

kopo ~o…

<Paralyze>,

<Poison>,

<Sleep>.

Surviving with these three skills.

A rough breathing.

[…….eh?]

Rough breathing?

It’s not mine, though?

I turned around.

[Ah—]

[Buru ru ~u ~u!]

[Minotaur!]

The effect had already expired.

The first <Paralyze>, that is.

So, it came to search for me.

It’s probably mad.

I feel like it’s really angry.

It moved.

The minotaur.

To me in just a short time.

The continuous endowment of the same skill is not possible.

And so,

[S– <Sleep>!]

[Bu,gu ~o? O ~u ~u ~……]

Dosshin!

[Gu go ~o…]

The minotaur falls down.

The blue gauge appeared.

[Ha~a! Ha~a! ~u ~a—]

Ah, that was close.

My body is now trembling a bit.

Is it due to the use of my own MP…?

Now, what do I do?

Do I use my own MP to poison this minotaur?

[That’s right…]

I look down at the cow head lying down on its face.

I don’t have to feel anything.

I just have to kill the enemy.

I don’t have to feel compassion.

It’s not necessary.

That’s right.

After all,

This guy too–

[……?]

What’s that?

This presence…

I also hear footsteps.

Becha ~tsu,

shuwashuwa……

The sound of the ground melting…

[You’ve got to be kidding me…]

Several golden glimmers shone behind the veil of darkness.

Glimmering golden wicked eyes.

Many orange lines also appeared even faintly from the darkness.

[You’ve got to be f**king kidding me…]

Ah, I see.

[Pa pi ko, po pi kori n, pu chi ko ro kko]

[Ku ~e ku ~e ko kko ~o, ko ro ro mi rru ku!]

[Po ru pi ko, pu chi, pu chi ko ro ko ro kko]

[Buru ru gi a ~a ~aahh! Bu ru ~aahh! Bu ru ~ooo ~a ~a a a ahhhh!]

[Bu fu n bu fu n! Bu ru ru!]

[O ga ~a ~a a a a aaaahhhhh!]

A great chorus of bird head and minotaur cries.

They have been attracted.

Their friends.

[Please give me a break already…]

They didn’t come one at a time.

[How many are these guys?]

pota, pota, pota, pota (T/N: sound of dripping liquid)

I’m covered with sweat.

A parched smile surfaced on my lips.

Or maybe I’m just escaping from reality.

An uncaring thought covers my senses.

The acid easily dissolves the ground.

The ground is starting to get more bumpy.

Oh, I see.

Maybe the unevenness of the ground is because of the acid.

To make those fugitives to stumble and fall over?

The bird heads in the front.

The cow heads in the back.

It’s like they absolutely want to end my life.

The safe MP where I can see its numbers have been exhausted.

I don’t even have the status to fight them.

I look up the ceiling.

[——]

I did my best already, right?

How I should I put it…

Isn’t it normal for someone to come here for help?

An exceptional disposed hero who survived in this ruins.

It’s a different world… Maybe a great elf lives here and may help me.

Hey… I’m begging you…

[…………..]

I’ve used all the cards in my hands.

I really did my best.

I feel like I’m in hell.

If this were a manga, I would be that mob that dies at the beginning.

Air.

E-Rank.

Disposed hero.

[Howl and struggle all you want at the bottom of the base, Touka Mimori.]

That shitty goddess.

My back is now against the wall.

Is this it…?

[Don’t f**king mess around.]

I firmly gripped both of my fists.

I can’t expect for anyone’s help.

I am…

Even if I’m a hero

I’m not some heroine to be saved.

I’m just a forgettable mob.

No one will come and help me.

So I have to be the one to help myself.

For me, just for my sake…

I shouldn’t rely on anyone.

I shouldn’t cling on anyone.

I shouldn’t expect on anyone.

Don’t expect for the illusion that someone may come.

—I feel trampled—

…about everything.

Air?

E-Rank?

The lowest?

Ah, bring it on!

[Even in a harsh environment like this, I will survive even if resistance is useless… Just like a weed’s way of life…]

I understood.

I’ll take the risk.

My life and my everything.

My MP have been exhausted, huh.

Well, is this even the first time that I found myself in trouble?

I check my left and right.

I then raised my arms and extend them towards the left and the right.

Aim at the leading ones at their flock and release.

[<Paralyze>]

Bushi ~tsu–

Biki ~tsu

Piki, ri

[Pi, ko, ro?]

[Bu, gu ~o?]

The leading bird head and minotaur of the flock stopped.

Paralyzing– Success.

I feel dizziness.

But, I remained standing.

Pota ~tsu

Potata ~tsu

It won’t stop.

My sweating, that is.

[Ku…. ka, kakaka! Come on!]

I opened my eyes wide.

[Let’s get started.]

The survival of the fittest.
