I Became the Strongest With The Failure Frame【Abnormal State Skill】As I Devastated Everything - Chapter 14

Would you call it a miracle if it happened twice?

[Is it effective…?]

It rarely works on lower-level monsters.
That’s how Abnormal State Endowment works.
That’s what the goddess said.
Is it that minotaur have lower-level?
It’s different.
There’s no way strong heroes and warriors would be dispatched to this place just for lower-leveled monsters.
That’s what my reasoning think so.

With a miracle-like probability, I succeeded.

It happened.
A miracle.
I remembered the words of that goddess.
The duration of endowed Abnormal State is short.
It’s short.
I have to hurry up and escape.
I get up quickly.
And started running.

[Hah… ah–hah…~]

Thank god I can finally rest.
I was able to recover some of my physical strength.
This miracle,

Do I just let it go away?

[Wah~ ahahaha! Wa~ ahahafu–!]

Sh*t.
I was short of breath.
Physical strength correction?
Speed correction?
If I were a higher-level hero, I would have had more stamina.
Damn it.

[Zeehhh…~ Zehhh…~]

I closed my mouth with my hand.
I can’t suppress the sound of my breathing.
Anyway..
Where is this?
I timidly turned around.
I’m checking my back.
It’s not chasing.
Did I shake it off?

My feet hurts.
Probably because of fatigue.
I slowly slouched in place.
I touch my knees and ankles.
I think it’s not sprained.
Even if it’s just a little while, should I rest for a bit?
And then head towards above ground.
Somehow, above ground–

[Okay.]

I will raise my dignity.
I will become firm.

That’s right.
That’s extremely right.
There’s no reason not to.
After all,

But that story is after I’ve left the transfer territory.

I’m going to leave.
Of course, there are other monsters.

[Guiii~rrruuuu~! Birrrriiii~! Bi pa pi ko kkkooo~! Pi ko pi ko~! Ko kkeeee~!!! Koo kkeeee~!!!]

What is this thing…?
Its head is— clattering.
It’s like that doll I’ve seen before.
What is this?
A bird-like monster?
Is this that cockatrice?
It does look like that?
I mean, it’s head definitely looks like some bird.
It developed some deformity somewhere and grown really big.
No… is that a horn?
Even though it had that bird-like head.
And it has a four-armed humanoid body from the neck down.
It looks creepy.
I know that’s not how a cockatrice looks.
It’s skin is the same as the minotaur.
An orange line that looks like its blood vessels is on it’s black skin.

[O kko nni~~ yaa~~ ppaa pppii kkkooeee~]

Every time it clucks like a bird with it’s weird voice,

Dripping acid were released from the hole in its body.

Bicha~
Becha~ tsu,
Shuwashuwashuwa…

The bird head’s round eyes look down on me.

Gyoro~

[Pii kko~ ppaa rrrii~~ kkkoo pppii. kkkkooookkkkooookkkoookkkooo~ Kkkkooooeeee~!!!]

Sloppily.
Drool began to drip from the bird head.
Does this guy plan to eat me?

[O kkorrri~ ppoo rrooo~ kkoo rrooo rroor rooo rooo rrrrooo~ ppaa ppiii kkkooo pppiii kkkooo~ ppaa pppii kkkoo~ kkooo rroo kkkoo kkkkooeee~! kkoooeee!! Kkkkoooee!!! Kkkoo rrooo rorooororororororororoorrrooo~!!!]

An ear-piercing high-pitched cry.
It’s four arms move like an eagle.
Its huge claws are no joke.
If you’re scratched by that– serious injury is inevitable.
Can I escape?
No… that’s impossible.
I know.
I didn’t even feel its presence.
The minotaur’s speed.
Reflexes.
And all the other things.
It’s on a different league.
Now, I don’t care anymore about Kirihara and the other’s peace of mind. (T/N: not sure here.)
If I were to choose on of them as an enemy, I won’t hesitate to choose the <Golden Dragon Wave>.
A roar not made out of spite.
From the monster here is–

Killing intent.

Pure,
Authentic,

Genuine killing intent.

They may not have found any special reason for killing.
Killing for it to eat?
Killing for it to live?

Whatever it is– Just killing intent.

I don’t think this bird head is any way weaker than that minotaur.
It’s certainly strong.
Probably all the monsters in this level are–

Brutal enough to kill all those strong people who were disposed.

I thought I’m out of my previous predicament.
But,

Here’s a second predicament.

Everyone would have died.
The sent heroes and warriors.
They must have been killed.
By the monsters of this ruins.
Losing in the end.
Strong as you may be.
Even if you somehow kill one of them.
Another one is coming.
There’s many of them.
You’d be exhausted in the end and use up all your strength.
Your physical strength.
Your willpower.

I don’t like this.

I don’t want to die,
I don’t want to die,
I don’t want to die.

I unconsciously raised my arms again.
It’s like feeling on depending to a wish.

[–<Paralyze>–]

Miracles, you see…
They’re called miracles because they’re…
Miracles.
No matter the circumstances, they won’t occur twice–

[Gggoooo— ppiiii– ggggii…]

I opened my eyes.

[Eh?]

My mouth opened wide.

[It worked…?]

Is it unable to move?
It looks like the bird head is sweating somehow.
It’s desperately trying to move.
However, it can’t move for some reason.
That’s how I think.
It worked?
The miracle worked twice?
The endowment?

The paralysis.

Praying that the stopped four don’t suddenly move and extend its arms to me,

I pass through the side of the bird head.

And when the bird head is completely behind me,

I run.

With all of my strength.

At that time, a hypothesis came to my mind.
It’s like a revelation.

There’s no way, I thought.
But I thought.

Miracles are miracles because they rarely happen.
If it happened twice in a row, people will not call it a miracle.
For example,
If the success of the two skills are not a miracle–

Then is it a certainty?

The unique skills of Mimori Touka.
Abnormal State Endowment.
It succeeded twice.
To the monsters in this ruins.

Minotaur won’t be able to chase me.
The bird head also won’t be able to chase me.
For example,
Supposing,
Supposing, for example–

If this world’s skill and my otherworldly skill were completely different things.

Regardless of monster grade.

If the probability of success is very high.
If the duration that it works is very long.

[If so, then…]

Looking back behind towards the bird head.

[I may survive in this ruins.]
