I Became the Strongest With The Failure Frame【Abnormal State Skill】As I Devastated Everything Chapter 15

Chapter 15

Remaining MP, Risk and Resolution

Can I go?

Above ground, I mean…

I just have to keep an eye on everything .

If I keep on using …

Wait .

There are things I have to check .

I entered the shallow tunnel I’ve found earlier .

I inject some magic into the leather bag that had lost its light .

The leather bag starts to s.h.i.+ne .

This secures my visibility .

[Status Open…]

All right .

Come forth .

LV 1

HP: +3

MP: +1/33

Attack: +3

Defense: +3

Physical strength: +3

Speed: +3

Wisdom: +3

As I expected .

My MP have decreased .

I’ve used three times .

Once for the G.o.ddess .

Once to that minotaur .

And another for that bird head .

Does using it each time consume 10 MP?

But what happened to the remaining 2 MP…?

Ah, I get it .

It’s those two times I’ve injected magic in the leather bag, huh…

This is bad… I have almost no MP remaining .

No, the G.o.ddess explained that the status that was just a correction value .

In short, that correction value is almost gone now .

In other words, my MP pool that is not quantified is the real amount left .

If it is, then that means I should have some MP left remaining .

On the other hand, I don’t have an exact amount of how much I have in hand .

If the remaining MP is 10 or less than that, the unique skill can no longer be used .

If my only weapon can’t be used,

It’s a complete checkmate .

[………… . . ]

It seems that I still have some MP remaining so I could feel relieved .

But still, I’m quite worried because I can’t see how much I have left .

I shake of my anxiety and moved to the skills page .

Flick .

If you look properly, the data on have increased .

The MP consumed was now displayed .

Is it a mechanism where it displays the MP consumed after I’ve used it at least once?

[……… . ]

Anyway…

[… . sh*t . ]

I hold my head .

This won’t do .

No matter how I put it, there’s now way my MP would hold on like this until I reach above ground .

Does MP recover over time?

Just like RPGs, will it recover if I sleep here?

No .

Even if I completely recover, I’ll recover just 30 points .

The rest of my own MP pool is unknown .

Wishful observation of my own MP is dangerous .

I’m still E-Rank .

[And also…]

What happens if I complete consume my own MP?

Will I faint?

Maybe .

If this is the case, putting my hands on my own MP is risky .

[!]

Come to think about it…

Wait…

After Kirihara used his unique skill, , he said something .

Something like his skill LV has improved .

It seems that the concept of “Level Up” exists in this world .

Yeah– Just like a game .

[If my LV goes up, I could overcome this situation…]

My MP pool would increase .

The skill’s MP consumption may also decrease .

However, I’m an E-Rank hero who have a low growth rate .

S-Rank hero Kirihara have a high growth rate .

Kirihara seems to have a so-called “experience points/EXP” by using only one skill .

And leveled up .

On the other hand, I’ve already used it three times but my skill LV still hasn’t increased .

This is the difference between E-Ranks and S-Ranks .

What should I do?

How do I raise my level?

If this is like one of those cla.s.sic games, if I defeat a monster, I will get EXP .

I silently stare at my skill page .

[, huh…]

When it comes to the the skills I have that are likely to deal damage, it’s this one .

Other than that… there were also those weapons that were left by the dead heroes?

Finding something like that, huh .

Then, killing paralyzed monsters with their weapons .

Since I’m E-Rank, the correction value is also low .

However, there may a chance to win depending on the weapon’s ability .

If it can damage one side continuously, or–

[Ah, but…]

If the disposed heroes that are transferred here were robbed of their weapons, then there’s no way .

Anyway, my unique items may be called the worse ones of them .

Can I keep the weapons and magic items of the strong heroes as it is?

Well, it might be possible that a strong hero was transferred with their equipment if it was as a grudge .

[Or rather–]

I peeked outside from the tunnel .

In the direction of the bird head .

[How long is the duration of the paralysis?]

I don’t have time to waste .

I want to avoid wasting my MP anyway .

Just in case,

[I should go back and check…]

If it’s still paralyzed, it’s a pretty long duration .

One-sided attack strategy may also be quite possible .

But, if it’s not there .

[At that time–]

Well,

[Then, that’s the time…]

Now I have to go and grab my little light .

Therefore, I take the risk .

And prepare myself for what’s to come .

v

I go back to where I came from .

This choice may have been wrong .

It may have been better to keep going up .

…… but still, I have to check .

After paralyzing it, I escaped .

I don’t know how much distance it is to the bird head .

At that moment, I turned around–

The bird head who slipped into the darkness may suddenly attack .

My heartbeat is accelerating .

Doku~ Doku~ Doku~ ——-

My breathing have become shallower .

But still… Is my eyes getting used to it?

Even if there is no leather bag, I can still see a little bit .

Even in the dark .

[Ah . ]

I stand still .

There’s something is falling down .

This is…

[An axe?]

Is it a disposed-one’s property?

It seems I have overlooked it earlier because I was running desperately .

It’s quite heavy when I held it .

Is the blade still sharp?

I only have 1 MP left in my correction value .

Should I check its condition with my leather bag using my last remaining MP?

No, it’s not necessary yet .

If I go near that bird head, there’s a light source .

That bird head that glows with orange lines .

I’ll check it at that time .

I walk again with the axe in hand .

My chest hurts .

I’m thirsty .

That bird head…

Is it still there?

There, beyond the darkness…

[—-fu!]

I can see it .

I can see the light of the orange lines throughout its body .

Yes…

The bird head is still there .

O- Okay…

It seems it still is paralyzed .

Unless it’s just mimicking one that is .

[Pppiii kkkkoooo, bbbiii kkkooo, pppaaa, kkkooo, pppiii! PPuuuuooohh~, pppuuu chhiiii kkkoooo rrrroooohhh]

It has been released .

I can feel its clear killing intent .

I can’t do anything because I can’t move .

I can sense it .

Only its habits are the things I can’t stop .

Paralysis doesn’t seem to stop all functions of the body .

No, I quite understand…

If all functions were stopped, it will become an instant death skill .

I can see something .

What is that?

A gauge?

If you look closely, there was a yellow gauge-like display above the bird’s head .

It’s like a game display .

Supposing that this yellow gauge is the duration of the effect…

I still have half the amount of time left until it frees itself .

I take my distance away from the bird head .

I pick up one of the stones that are scattered around on the ground .

And I threw it .

Ka~ a~ an~ tsu!

It hit the back of the bird head .

What is with that high-pitched sound?

That’s not the sound of skin .

Did it have an absurdly tough skin?

I hide myself and watch .

There’s no sign of the bird head moving .

I remembered the RPGs and social games back in my original world .

There were some of those kind of games .

Whether or not the attack will release the paralysis,

I wanted to try that out with that attack .

It’s still not moving .

Completely .

All right .

I involuntarily find myself doing a guts pose .

Well, there were many games that the paralyzed state was still intact even after being attacked .

I felt like it follows the same theory .

Well… It seem until the gauge runs out, I can do whatever I want .

I get out of the rock where I’ve hidden .

I’ll now check the state of the axe with the light emitted from the bird head .

It looks like there’s no chips on the blade .

[ 喰ら, eh—] (T/N: no clue . I think it’s the axe’s name . )

Wielding it with both hands, I promptly swing it .

I tried imagining a lumberjack .

First, cut off each of the bird head’s arms one by one!

Buooon~ tsu!

Gakyin~ tsu!

[Guhhh… . !]

A strong numbness ran through my arm .

I unintentionally dropped my axe .

My arms are bursting in pain .

A dull and heavy soreness came afterward .

[Hah~– Hahh… . ]

It’s no good .

It’s too hard .

Look at the blade of the axe there .

There was a crack .

[Ah…]

Some of the liquid around its body dripped towards the axe .

The axe melts…

It melted faster than when it dripped towards the ground .

Does the acid work better on metals?

I can’t use that axe anymore .

[Such toughness is foul play…]

Should I insert the blade in that hole? (T/N: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°))

No, that won’t work .

Won’t it just melt in that liquid?

If that’s so,

[I have no choice but to do it . ]

The MP other than the correction value .

I will use my own MP .

I will use on that bird head .

I get closer to the bird head .

I raised my arms .

It’s in my field of vision now .

[Fuuu~…]

I breathe deeply .

Calm down, me .
