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

Chapter 143

Towards those flock of demons approaching from behind us .

I spread Pigimaru’s tentacles towards the monsters leading the group .

With my position facing towards them, those monsters were now in my field of vision .

[Let’s do it . ]

Swwwoooooossshhhhh——–!

Pigimaru’s tentacles morphed .

Those tentacles bloomed in mid-air .

A large amount of those thin tentacles flew out in the air .

Just like countless missiles fired—-

Aiming towards those monsters kicking off the ground, those discharged tentacles chaotically assaulted .

[————-]

[Gooooonnnoooooooohhhhhh—–! Uuu! Uuuiiii! Gooooooooohhhhh!]

Several shouts of the Human-Faced blended along with the activation of my skill .

Towards the Human-Faced that were caught in my field of view .

Several tentacles were collectively “annihilated” by one of them .

By a Human-Faced that was breathing out fire .

However...

[Uruuguuaaaahhhhh!]

[Gigaruueeeaarruuuaaaahhh—-!?]

There were still some changes that happened behind us .

My skill has been able to “reach” some of them .

I’ve successfully invoked Berserk to the monsters .

They began to attack the surrounding monsters without any distinctions .

I could feel the vibrations flowing from Slei’s body with each of her kicks to the ground .

While feeling comfortable for some reason, I muttered .

[Go, crush them . ]

Incidentally, the effect of the Gem of Voice Amplification has already ended .

Unfortunately, those words I’ve said just now won’t be able to reach the monsters .

I checked the semi-transparent status floating in front of my sight .

I still have some MP to spare .

[We have quite the good start huh . ]

However, we obviously couldn’t say that we have successfully subjugated them .

The monsters following behind the leading group were mercilessly trampled down by the monsters I’ve invoked on .

Bitten to shreds...

Poked holes through their bodies...

Pulverized...

Torn into pieces...

Neither bewilderment, hesitation, nor any emotions .

The monsters’ ear-piercing screams resounded out all over the place .

It was as if I was watching the decisive battle between fellow monsters .

I brought forth even more tentacles and chaotically lashed towards them .

It’s time for the second wave— of invoking Berserk .

[]

That tentacle attack I used against that Smiling Mask in front of that ruins we spent a night in .

While I’ve converged the tentacles into one, I could control it more effectively compared to when I’m controlling multiple tentacles .

However, if it’s times like this where I had to fight several opponents, it would be fine even when I lose control of them .

I invoked Berserk towards several of them .

[Gurruuuooooooaaaaaaahhhhhhh——–!]

[Gigigyyyooooooeeeeeeehhhhh——–!?]

The monsters who have fallen into state again started attacking their fellow monsters .

It’s like seeing their own kind running in front of you suddenly losing its sanity and swoops down on you .

Some of the monsters were confused upon seeing this .

However, they immediately moved on to a battle for their own survival .

Survival instinct .

It’s kill rather than be killed .

That is their instinct .

I pointed towards the monsters who were fiercely fighting behind us .

That’s right...

[If you want to survive, kill as much as you want . ]

Slei raises her speed .

Her eight tough hooves trample on the ground more violently .

I gazed behind our backs .

Contrary to what might have been expected .

[———It wouldn’t be that easy dealing with them huh . As I thought . ]

They’re coming out of that horde .

Many...

Many...

Many more .

I can’t be bothered with the monsters that I’ve already invoked on .

The most particularly remarkable of them were the Human-Faced .

The Human-Faced crushed all the tentacles that were approaching from all sides at the same time .

As a matter of course, the monsters near them would also be unaffected with my skill .

[Uuiiiii! Uiiiiiiiiiii! Goooooooohhhhhhhhh—–!]

The fire-breathing Human-Faced in the leading group are also burning away the tentacles beside the nearby monsters .

I clicked my tongue .

[Some of the ones leading the group would be able to see through the distance of my range...]

When and in which timing should they crush those tentacles .

There should be several Human-Faced that understood this already .

There are some clever bunch mixed in among the Human-Faced huh .

Moreover, there were even some of them protecting the Golden-eyed monsters that weren’t Human-Faced .

Having said that though, It’s more likely that these weren’t compassion to their comrades .

Yes— They were disposable pieces .

If you make your disposable pieces scatter about, it’s possible that an opening would appear on the prey’s attention .

They would use all the things that they could make use of .

I could see it—- Their ruthless plans .

[Well—-]

Inside the mask, a smile spontaneously curved up on my mouth .

[That’s what I would also do if I were in your standpoint . ]

Now then, unto the next part .

The effect of the combination of my multiple tentacles and has become less effective .

I can’t keep battling the same way .

I started bringing forth three times more new tentacles .

The number of the ones leading the group hasn’t changed much .

It’s because there would be someone replacing them after they fall .

It’s like even when a hole was created, the other parts would immediately fill in the gaps .

...... . . Well, fine .

Currently, I should hit those guys that were far spread out to the left and right .

They’re the newcomers who have just filled up the gaps from the leading group .

[—–—–]

[Hi! Hiiiieeeehh!? Hiiiiiiieeeeeeehhhhhhhh!?]

Following that shriek (?), a change happened among the leading group .

A reaction that’s different from before .

“If you approach that tentacle, your allies would attack you . ”

That was the understanding imprinted on their minds .

But this time, the movements of several of their comrades suddenly “stopped” .

The monsters...

“......Eh? Why did you suddenly stop attacking?”

...or so their reactions look like .

It’s different compared to before .

This “unexpectedly” temporarily stopped the monsters from moving .

Changing the fixed pattern for another fixed pattern .

It’s also a good way of making use of stacking my skills .

You could find similar techniques in martial arts, sports or even stand-up comedy .

This abruptness— is an effective means of battling .

However, I’m still fighting against Golden-eyed monsters that could immediately get back to their fierce attacks at any time .

That sudden halt had only earned me a few seconds .

Those monsters that had been paralyzed were cruelly crushed by the monsters before them without any way for them to get away...

Most of all, the Human-Faced in the leading group who have been intercepting the attacks of my tentacles—-

—Are still alive .

I looked in front of us .

The scenery hasn’t changed yet .

Trees, forest, groves .

It’s likely that this scenery would continue for a while .

I imagine my current position in my mind .

I should have been successful in pulling them away from Seras and the others .

Thin branches blocking our path snapped apart as we continued going straight ahead .

[————–Tsk . ]

These large amounts of monsters moving towards me weren’t the only ones that I’ve lured in huh .

I could feel presences not just from behind us .

Monsters have started gathering towards me from other directions .

I’ve already dealt with some of the monsters in the previous group after some troubles but—–

I ended up being surrounded by monsters from all directions again .

There were already some deviations from my original plan .

The plan was that I would scatter my skill towards the ones behind my back, stop their movement and pull away from them .

And once I have got a far enough distance away from them, I would hide .

After letting some time pass, I would return back and meet up where Seras and the others are...

That plan ended up bursting into bubbles though .

If possible, I would like to avoid having to fight these monsters in mid to close range .

However, in this kind of situation... It’s hard to say if I could keep it like that .

Perhaps, I need to get through the group by breaking through one point .

[Pigimaru, Slei . ]

The two of them briefly responded to my call .

[Can you still go on?]

The both of them showed affirmation .

However, I could see that they’re somewhat overdoing it already .

......How long would they be able to hold on?

[Hmm?]

I saw the status display floating in front of my sight .

——This is bad .

My remaining amount of MP is steadily decreasing .

At that time...

Pitter, patter...

It began to drizzle .

The weather looks ominous .

It seems that my situation has been getting worse and worse .

Shuuuuuaaaaahhhhhh......

The rain began to get stronger .

The weight of each raindrop also got heavier .

Raindrops began hammering down on the nearby leaves like a multitude of spears falling down on the ground .

The sound of rain blocked my hearing and dulled my sense of distance .

I made Slei pull over .

Shaking her body, Slei flung away the water off her body .

Water was dripping down the tactile part of the mask .

I could hear a large amount of footsteps coming from a distance .

They’re approaching from all directions .

Through the curtain of rain blurring my vision, a smoke of dust floating about on the other side .

That’s what I could see from behind my Fly King’s mask .

The raindrops dripping one after another converged near the eye section of my mask and ceaseless began flowing down towards the ground...

Experience Points .

I could level up by acquiring them .

Currently, I don’t have any other means of recovering my Mp other than sleeping .

In this current battle, combining with Pigimaru is indispensable .

While we’re combined, the speed of the decrease of my MP rapidly increases .

Even if I have lots of MP, I can’t continue fighting for more than 30 minutes if my MP were to reduce this fast...

The only way that I could continue fighting is by levelling-up .

The Human-Faced which gives a large amount of experience .

If I were to keep on killing them and my level continuously increases—-

[No... As expected, that would be too absurd . ]

I immediately denied the idea that came out of my mind .

Following that plan would also put myself in danger at the same time .

As far as things go, I must keep a certain margin away from the monsters .

Why is that?

It’s because of the things I understood from my investigations in the Disposal Ruins .

“If I’m not within a certain distance, I will not be able to receive the experience points from the monsters at the time it dies . ”

Therefore...

I turned around .

[In that case, I need to go back a bit to where I came from...]

It would be a “half-limited battle” where I would fight while making sure of the distance where I could still acquire the experience points .

[......If I say I’m going to do that, will you two still follow me?]

The tentacles movements became more lively in an instant .

Slei also vigorously kicked on the ground with her forefeet .

[Pigyyiiii!]

[Bururururururuuuuuu!]

Without any hesitation, the both of them responded in agreement .

I crook my neck to the side .

Crackle...

Really......

[I’m really blessed with my friends . ]

There’s the sinister army of monsters chasing us from the direction where we came from .

Turning towards that direction, I would go stand off against them in the front .

Looking towards them, I noticed that there were some mud clinging on my hand .

Swish—

Swinging my arm, I shook off the mud in my hand .

With the mud off my hand, I looked towards the approaching flock of monsters .

[Let’s go . ]
