I Became the Strongest With The Failure Frame【Abnormal State Skill】As I Devastated Everything Chapter 28

Chapter 28
The Ruins Area
I wonder if its because the scenery had completely changed .
My dull thoughts that’s clear of any uncomplicated things had regained its color .
[Those ivies… are they edible…? Hmm?]
Something is coming .
[Booohh… boohh, bo hiyyooooohhh…]
Something spherical is floating towards me .
It’s a monster that look like an eye .
An enormous golden eyeball .
It’s deep golden pupils, which is proportional to the size of the eyeball, is moving about restlessly .
Suddenly, many arms grew out of its spherical body .
The appearance of the arms resembles to those of a human .
Busshuuuu…!
Acid is spouting from the tips of the protrusions scattered around its body .
As expected, the monsters here also spouts acid like that, huh .
[Hiiiioooohhh, ggiiyyooooooohhhh—!]
Suddenly, the monster released a high-pitched scream .
It looks like it’s howling .
Or is this just how it cries?
The eye looks like its having some little twitches every few seconds .
In those multiple arms that sprung out of its body, magic circles in the form of rings that were clad as they formed .
Those magic circle seems to look like bangles as they perfectly fit in its arms .
It’s similar to what the goddess was clad at that time when she stopped the quarrel of Oyamada and Yasu .
[]
I took the initiative on attacking .
[]
Pzzzzztt!
Bachichichi!
[Booyyyuuoooohhhh!]
The eyeball is continuously hit by paralytic shocks throughout its body .
It seems that the premature discharge of magic backlashed towards him .
It’s like that time when that lizardman back then blew up its own head because of backlash .
[Gggii, ggiiyyuuuuiii—]
The monster’s gigantic eye is opened wide as smokes fumed out of the white part of the eye .
[Ooouuggguueehhh…]
I’m patiently waiting for this monster to die .
The gauge I used earlier is about to be emptied out .
[]
The monster’s gigantic eye closed .
After waiting for a while, the monster finally died out of poison .
My level is still increasing .
[This is…]
If the level limit is not 999, would I be able to exceed Lv 1000?
I look around my surroundings .
[I guess I should look around the area for the time being . ]
I start searching the surrounding area while being vigilant for any danger that may show up .
I don’t know how far I should travel until I reach the upper grounds .
It would be good if I could secure a base for me to stay at for the time being .
I found some door-like objects along my search in this ruins .
However, all of them were tightly closed .
It won’t open even if I push or pull them .
There’s also no handle for it to be a sliding door .
[Hmm? This jewel—]
I have just noticed something .
I recalled the jewel in the leather bag I have .
[Does these doors require for me to inject magic energy on them?]
I decided to inject magic power in it .
The gauge in the jewel started accumulating the magic energy .
Ah, now that I think about it…
[Status Open . ]
Displaying my current status .
MP: + 31345/31713
With this, I can confirm the decrease of MP as I’m injecting it to this door .
I can now also keep track on how much magic energy I need for the gauge to fill up .
The gauge is now full .
Looking at how much my MP has decreased— about 1500 MP is the required magic energy to be injected .
The door then started to vibrate subtly .
It opened from the middle as the door split open to the left and right .
I went inside while keeping being cautious for any surprise attacks .
[This room should be… around 8 tatami mats wide?]
My eyes came upon a table and some chairs made of stone .
I can also confirmed some furniture-like objects here and there .
There’s also some kind of crude cloth that’s spread around the floor .
Was the a former resident of this place used to sleep there?
The place looks like it’s uninhabited .
I sit in one of the chairs .
[Ahh… this feels great…]
I feel like it has been ages since I last “sat down on a chair”…
Once again, I realize that I’m a child raised in a modern civilization .
[Well then . ]
I get up from my seat and went to the door .
The jewel had already lost its color .
I display my status again in preparation .
I will try injecting 1500 MP into the jewel in the door again .
The door closed along with its subtle vibrations .
[I see . ]
It’s necessary to inject magic energy for opening and closing of the door .
I inject magic energy to the door again .
As the door opened, I went out of the room .
I want to check how the other rooms look like .
The second room I went to was empty .
There are only crude furniture made out of stone similar to those in the first room .
The third room was also like that .
The rooms’ appearance were all same and it continued even when I have reached the seventh room .
But, the eighth room was different .
I’ve found them .
Humans — that is .
No, to be exact, two human skeletons .
[These skeletons should also be from disposed people, right?]
Both of the skeletons were wearing light armor .
These light armor looks quite old .
Guessing by how these two are dressed, I think they should be a man and a woman .
How long has it been since they were disposed?
The two skeletons were sitting side by side with the wall behind their backs .
It’s as if these two were quite close to each other .
I’ve also just noticed it but they were also holding the hand of the other .
They have probably taken refuge here as they run for their life .
There were brutal monsters roaming about outside .
They would be killed if they were to go outside .
They couldn’t go out of this room .
Having neither food nor water,
They have chosen to die in this place together .
There is no traces in this room that they have been in conflict at all .
They had simply accepted that they would die together .
[…that’s quite amazing of them . ]
After I voiced out my thoughts, I checked out in search of what they have .
rustle, rustle
This and that are different things . There’s no place for sentimental things in this kind of situation .
I have to search for something I can still make use of .
Even I might die in this place .
I have to search for something that may seem even a little bit useful .
The sword leaning to the side already had its blade chipped and cracked .
When it comes to the staff, the crystal part on the head of the staff is already broken .
[…it’s no use . ]
The clothes I’m wearing now, the school uniform and the cloak I’m wearing over it should be enough .
Moving in clothes I’ve already grown accustomed to is easier .
Most of all, the skeletons’ clothes was just as damaged as the other equipment they have .
I also don’t want to change into it, hygienically-speaking .
Hmm?
I noticed some kind of small pouch in the pocket of the skeleton’s clothing .
I can feel its weight as I take it out of the pouch .
Confirming the contents of the pouch…
[Are these… jewels?]
The pouch is crammed with jewels that glitter blue .
After looking around the contents of the pouch, there were some silver coins mixed in .
It may be possible to turn these coins to money when I’ve finally reached the ground above .
It would be nice if these silver coins were the currency used above ground though…
Anyway it is, I’m quite thankful I’ve acquired something worth of money .
Because no matter which world it is, money would always be necessary .
I went to the two skeletons and spoke .
[I’m sorry, but I’ll be taking these . ]
I put the pouch of jewels inside the pocket beneath my uniform .
But… I’ve discovered one important thing .
That perhaps, this room can be a safe zone when it’s closed off by injecting the door with magic energy .
It seems like the monsters here in this area can’t inject magic energy towards the doors .
Or is it that the monsters just don’t know that the doors would open if they do it?
Anyway, I could finally secure a bed for me to sleep peacefully in .
Thanks to my leather bag, I’ve also got an stable supply of food and water .
[With this place as my base, leveling for some time should not be a bad idea…]
I resumed my exploration in this ruins area while I was arranging my plans for the near future .
v
During my search in the nearby area, I’ve encountered another one of those spherical eye monster again .
It seems that I have not been noticed by that guy yet .
I target the eyeball and release from behind a building of this ruins .
I followed up with .
And when the gauge for paralysis is about to run out, I released towards it .
Before I could even repeat the combo for a second time, the monster had already died .
Great, my MP is fully recovered again .
It would be better to understand that I’m jumping levels because of the monstrous amount experience of I’m gaining from the monsters here .
Therefore, I want to raise my level as much as possible before I would leave this place and reach the ground above .
However, my skill level doesn’t increase that easily .
Well, the skill is exceptional even with the current skill level, so I can give up on leveling them .
In the first place, I’ve never thought that my skill level would rise again by how slow it’s increasing .
I’m under the impression that my abilities would quickly rise as I just increase my level .
I resume my exploration of this ruins .
The number of rooms I had confirmed had reached a total of 24 rooms .
You could see some regularity by how the rooms were arranged .
If the pattern on how they arranged rooms were followed, this should be all of it .
I choose one of the empty rooms and decided to use it as a base .
I need to take some rest .
When I have finished resting in the home base, I stand up .
[Now then, shall we start?]
Leveling up .
And thus, I started leveling up in this ruins .
It seems that this area is where those eyeball monsters had made its nest .
I continued killing the eye monsters in the area even if it’s just me alone .
About half a day has passed since I have started hunting monsters .
I can’t see any eyeball monsters any longer .
I went back to my home base and checked the jewel in my leather bag .
The original yellow-green color has not returned yet .
After confirming it, I proceed on leaving the room and went down to one of the areas where there are monsters left .
I kill the monsters in the lower area with the usual skill combo of mine .
After a while of doing that, monsters in that area also ceased to appear .
I returned to the base again .
This time though, the color of the jewel in the leather bag has returned .
The meal of the day is a block-type nutritional supplement and oolong tea in a PET bottle .
I’m quite grateful for the nutritional supplement .
The food’s packaging is the same as the ones I saw back in my previous world .
It makes me forget that I’m in a different world for a moment .
[Fruits flavored, huh…]
I unexpectedly quite like this . (T/N: not specified . )
[Chomp…]
First is to chew it lightly with my molars .
I feel like I bit something like a moist cookie .
[Nyom, nyom… chomp, chomp…]
The block was broken down in my mouth .
A unique fluffy sweetness spreads out of the block .
I could still feel the faint sweetness it’s releasing through the scent it gives off .
However, I feel that just having this feels quite dry .
Without delay, this is where I drink the oolong tea .
(T/N: Hazure Waku is not a food novel . )
[Gokun, kokkunnn… muu… pfuhhaaa!]
I could feel the astringent sweetness in my mouth stiffened .
It’s not bad .
The cookie-like dough flavor I had tasted in that nutritional supplement was easily swallowed away by the rushing liquids .
I may be far from what you can call a gourmet .
But, I can say that I unexpectedly like this kind of meal .
Having finished my meal, I chopped the paper box of the nutritional supplement into a thousand pieces .
It may be just a temporary way on dealing with things, but I’m now able to brush my teeth, even if the brush is hard to brush with .
I’ve installed one of the dragon’s bones in front of the door just in case that someone approaches .
I don’t think it would happen, but the possibility of a monster intruding here is not really zero .
Well, that bone alarm device I made is meaningless against that floating eyeball monster .
However, I think if it’s just against that eyeball monster, it’d be fine .
If it can really get in, some of the doors in this ruins would have been opened already .
Or so, I explained to myself as I fell asleep .
After a long time, I was finally able to sleep without worrying about anything .
