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

[The Witch of Taboos, is it…?]

[Didn’t you say before that no one has been able to confirm the whereabouts of the witch yet? If you were to put it in another way, isn’t her home the perfect place to hide?]

[T- That certainly sounds true, but…]

She glanced towards her backpack.

In exchange for just hiding Seras, I’m also giving her the Azure Dragon Stone?

To be honest, the ability of Seras’ wind spirit is really useful.

It has the ability to sense other people’s lies.

When we are going to negotiate with the Witch of Taboos, I think having the ability to judge the authenticity of her words would be a great help.

I heard that elves rarely appear outside of their village.

Moreover, Seras’ spirit seems to be a special variety among others.

What I mean is… It is highly possible that her ability is something that can’t be acquired by others.

Moreover…

I turned towards Seras’ face.

[?]

What I said about finding an “easy partner” is indeed true.

[So that you could conceal yourself, you should aim towards the Witch of Taboos’s home. In the first place, wasn’t the Golden Demon Zone itself was considered a dangerous area, and that people can’t approach that area?]

Dangerous monsters have gathered in that Demon Zone.

However, if it’s just against those golden-eyed monsters, there is a high probability that I could easily deal with them with my skills.

If there is also Seras with me, the safety of our travel should further increase.

I also told about this to her.

[In order to get some information about the ancient characters that we’ve talked about before, I need to go into the Demon Zone. And, if things were to go well for us, we might find a good place to hide inside the Demon Zone.]

[That might be true, but…]

[If that is so, could we continue this contract?]

[Touka-dono… why are you doing this for me?]

After thinking a bit about it, I answered.

[You kind of somewhat resembles familiar with someone close to me, my aunt.]

[I resemble… your aunt?]

[Yeah. My uncle and his family took custody and raised me after I was abandoned by my real parents… Well, unlike my real parents who just treated me as a hindrance, they were really kind people. I’ve never forgotten to be thankful towards them and I still respect them up to this day.]

I never expected that I would reminisce about my memories with my uncle’s family.

It’s as if some kind of force made me spontaneously blurt out of my mouth.

[Your way of speaking and your appearance was clearly different, and there’s also hardly any resemblance with your personality but… if I dare say it, it’s the atmosphere around you…]

You could tell that she’s smart, but she’s unreliable at times.

Seras is useful as my guard.

She can use those special spirits of hers.

Pigimaru is also attached to her.

However, the reason why I came to this place is—

[The thought of just disregarding you in this place… I felt like I was abandoning my own aunt and running away on my own.]

[Touka-dono…]

Seras smiles.

Is it alright to say that it’s a smile that’s filled with light?

[As I thought, you’re a kind person.]

[Well… I have to admit that this sweetness was something that’s common back when I was around my uncle’s family.]

At that time…

[Guueeeehhhh–!]

The black dragon has finally died.

My level still didn’t rise.

[Well then.]

The dragon knight is still alive.

[I hope I can draw out some useful information about the Black Dragon Knights but…]

I partially released the <Paralyze> on his head.

Next, I canceled out his <Sleep>.

The paralysis gauge is still sufficient enough.

[—-Guuggaa…? Guuuhhh… Kuhh, shii….! I- It hurts…]

I look down towards the dragon knight who will not die from the poison.

He acted just like Seras did before.

His behavior was still the same just as I invoked paralysis towards him.

Though, I would be crazy if I think of this as an established fact after just trying it out on two people.

This man is someone good to kill.

My face has finally been clearly seen by this guy.

I look like someone that doesn’t have any reason to interfere with them.

My indifferent face tells him so.

[If you answer our questions truthfully, I will save you.]

I’ll save you.

I didn’t lie at all.

Because I will just cancel out the non-lethal settings of the poison and save him for further “suffering”.

First of all, I asked about the current situation of the Black Dragon Knights.

Next, I asked about the strength of their units, their position, their movement, and the policies they would do in the future.

[If you have some things you want to know, you should ask about it now.]

After contemplating about it, Seras opened her mouth.

[Who is the one aiming for my life?]

[T- The other guys… how are they!?]

The dragon knight just passed through Seras’ question.

I took a deep breath and answered.

[The people that I met on my way here, I defeated them.]

[D- Don’t say stupid sh*t… guhh… Against a piece of sh*t like you!? Kuh!? Who is the user of that strange technique!? Who is it!?]

[Didn’t you know already? It’s the piece of sh*t in front of you.]

[Don’t think you’ll be able to get away from the Black Dragon Knights…Guuhhh!? Ugh… There’s also the ruin of that Holy Knight! Guuahhh!? Ku… Kuku… The day that you’re captured would also be the dawn of your life as you will be loved by a dragon knight’s pet for a really long time!? Fu, Fuwahahahaha! Even the women of the Neia Holy Kingdom that you have been protecting was quite delicious—-]

Seras got on her knees.

She walked towards the dragon knight and coldly looked at him.

[I said, on whose order were you sent here?]

The dragon knight looked a bit overwhelmed.

[V- Very well…! This Gizun is also a bit interested… What kind of face would the former High Elf Princess, who has dedicated her sword for the Holy Kingdom as knight, make when she knows the truth?]

A sudden chill…

Right into my spine…

I promptly…

Stood up.

[Seras!]

——-Schhhwwwiiinnnggg!!!——–

It was a white spear.

A white spear flew from the sky.

The spear accurately pierced through that man.

The head of the man named Gizun is even skewered.

It’s obvious that dragon knight on the ground is dead.

I move my line of sight upwards.

[………..]

Both Seras and I were doing our best to respond.

Even she turned towards the skies.

[Who is… that!?]

There’s an incoming shadow that’s approaching.

Three black dragons.

Even their size is comparably larger than the previous dragon.

There is also someone with them.

[………..]

He’s still currently out of range.

No.

Above all, he is someone—

[Seras Ashrain.]

A stiff voice in which you can’t find any warmth within reached my ears.

A white man.

His clothing is white.

His hair is white.

Only his pupil is bright red.

That man was clearly foreign.

He’s the only person who’s wearing white clothes among the Black Dragon Knights and the black dragons around him.

Just that one person, it’s only him who has that armor.

Even the mount he’s riding on is a white dragon.

I look towards the person beside me.

Seras’ eyes were wide open.

[No way—]

The white man opens his mouth.

[My name is Civit.]

When the man named Civit narrowed his eyes, he looked towards me rather than Seras.

[But most of the people in this world seems to call me by another name. They seem to call me like—]

While he’s talking about his other name, he seems as if he’s indifferent.

[“The Humanity’s Strongest”.]
