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 shine .
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 goddess .
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 goddess 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 classic 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 .
