I Became the Strongest With The Failure Frame【Abnormal State Skill】As I Devastated Everything Chapter 202

Chapter 202
Gently caressing the footprints with my fingertips, I checked the condition of the earth .
[By the looks of it…… It’s already been a long time since these people passed through here . ]
If they’re on the move, it doesn’t seem like they would be around anymore huh .
I stand up .
[We should go . ]
[Yes . ]
We began advancing with caution .
Like that, we made our way through the dense bushes……
[……This . ]
Seras gasped .
There were several Golden-eyed monsters before our eyes .
There were around twenty of them…
And all of them were corpses .
Blood was splattered all around .
They were splashed on the trunks of trees and the grass .
Fragments of flesh were also scattered about .
If this was a scene of a crime, it would have been quite a “gruesome scene” .
Kneeling down in front of the nearest corpse, I examined it .
I then raised my gaze and looked at the other corpses .
[What a surprise . ]
This isn’t within the depths .
But even if it wasn’t, the monsters in the Golden Demon Zone were feared in this continent .
Even so…
[Some of these monsters tried to get away . ]
There were signs that they had tried to escape .
A monster from the Golden Demon Zone had been frightened so much that it tried to flee .
The people responsible for this carnage, they were at least—–
People that don’t have any problem fighting against Golden-eyed monsters in the Demon Zone .
I can see it in the bodies and the conditions of the scene .
All in all, these monsters were killed without being able to fight back at all .
Moreover—— they weren’t overlooked .
It’s not just one or two monsters that tried to escape .
There’s also one that had its defenseless back slashed……
They didn’t overlook the monsters that tried to escape and went out of their way to chase them down and kill them .
[There are a lot of monsters that seem to have been slashed with swords…… From Seras’s eyes, how good are they?]
[They must have been quite experienced in the way of the sword . ]
Seras guessed without a second thought .
[Even more than you?]
[——I’m not sure without seeing them myself . However, I’m sure that their abilities aren’t average . Most of all……]
[It doesn’t seem like they were seriously fighting these monsters huh?]
[Yes . ]
[……………………]
Who are they?
What the heck are these people doing here?
We followed more footprints .
Looking at the direction of the footprints…
For now, it seems that they were headed in the same direction we’re heading .
The corpses of monsters lying around became a familiar sight for us .
There were even some corpses that were being pecked by a bird .
Judging by the footprints, there must be at least eight of them .
Speaking of which……
I haven’t encountered any monsters since I left that ruins where we interacted with Erika’s familiar .
Were the monsters within this area hiding in fear of the people who did this?
[If they were on the opposing side, it may be quite troublesome . ]
[……The closest forces from here would be Mira and Urza but…]
Speaking of proximity—– the Faraway Country is also around this area .
The Magic Knights?
Or the Brilliant Squadron?
Or perhaps……
There’s another group around .
[Speaking of being curious, we still didn’t receive any information at all……]
*rustle*
As we passed through the bushes, I stopped talking .
Seras’s eyes opened wide .
*Gulp*
And then, she gulped down .
[This is———-]
Different from a while ago…
Seras reacted differently than when she saw the group of Golden-eyed monsters .
This time, she could feel surprise from seeing something beyond her imagination .
[…………………… . ]
Well, it can’t be helped .
Corpse .
No matter who looks at it, it would be a corpse of “that” .
I look towards “that” .
With a slightly dry voice—— Seras spoke out what “that” is .
[———-A Human-Faced . ]
Sogou Ayaka’s name has recently been spreading out in the public .
However, it was once thought that one would have to rely on the Goddess or on the “Humanity’s Strongest” to defeat these vicious beings .
[………………… . . ]
I check the corpse and its surroundings again .
Judging from the traces I found, this Human-Faced’s opponent was a humanoid using a weapon .
It most probably doesn’t seem like a fight between two Human-Faced .
Nevertheless .
This Human-Faced has been miserably torn to shreds……
I don’t know how strong this Human-Faced was when it was alive but——
[This Human-Faced tried to run away once . ]
That Human-Faced with someone holding strength that made it try to escape .
Speaking of the powerful people that I know of…
The Goddess .
The Heroes .
Alion’s Sixth Cavalry .
White Wolf Knight Commander, “The Black Wolf” .
The Mad Emperor .
Other than them, yes……
There are also some people we haven’t heard anything yet .
I think I first heard of him from Eve?
He’s apparently one of the powerful people .
However, there was very little information about him .
Eve, Seras, and even Erika don’t know about him that much .
If I remember correctly, his name is——
[It may have been that “Heroic Sword” fellow huh . ]
