I Became the Strongest With The Failure Frame 【Abnormal State Skill】As I Devastated Everything - Chapter 251

Riding Slei, Seras finally arrived.

After meeting up with her, I decided to return back to the central flank where Gio is.

Meanwhile, the support I had asked for earlier arrived and brought the wounded Dragonkin soldiers to the rear.

Arriving at the central flank————- Gio found out what happened to Niko.

Needless to say, Gio got furious.

Gio immediately tried rushing towards the left flank by himself.

Seeing this, a dozen or so Leopardkin soldiers tried to restrain Gio.

However, they weren’t enough to stop him.

That’s why……

[ ]

I put Gio to sleep.

Seeing that the Leopardkin soldiers were worried about Gio, I spoke.

[Don’t worry, I only put him to sleep. I can wake him up anytime I want.]

Learning what had happened to the Dragon Light Army, the Leopardkin soldiers shuddered.

Some of the people who treated them are here.

There’s no way that what occurred in the left flank could be hidden.

At that moment, Seras came to stand next to me.

Her face is stern and tense.

[……I’ve heard about what happened to Niko-dono.]

With a grim look on her face, Seras bit her thin lip.

However, she didn’t say anything else.

Perhaps, seeing Gio in rage had calmed her down instead.

……Well, it’s not like Seras could hide the anger budding within her heart though.

[I remembered hearing…… that there is nothing clean or dirty about killing each other. In the end, both of you are killing each other. However, such things don’t matter…… What matters here is that the Six Cavalry “used a method I don’t like”…… That’s enough for me.]

I’m not going to start spouting nonsense like justice or ethics.

However, if I’m “displeased” with something, that’s all the motivation I need.

And I’m quite motivated with what happened there.

[……Well, I’m not going to thoughtlessly plunge myself over there though. The 6th Cavalry is strong. They’re also smart. “Weaklings” like me have to make use of a plan———– or else, I’ll be killed by them instead.]

The first thing I did was tell Seras what I was planning to do.

At the same time, I asked the Leopardkin soldiers to prepare what we might need.

They were so cooperative that I could feel their enthusiasm————- seriously.

It’s as if they were entrusting their anger to me.

With such thoughts in mind, I looked down at the Fly King mask in my hand.

[……They use any means necessary huh.]

[Piggi?]

I snorted.

[Well…… I guess I’ll also use whatever I can too.]

[Preparations are ready, Milord.]

Hearing what Seras said, we mounted Slei.

Just before we departed, I deactivated the effect of on Gio.

When Gio woke up, he seemed to be still in a daze for a while.

And then, he seemed to have quickly regained his consciousness.

He tried to say something to me.

However, another voice———–

She, who had been awake during this time, called out to Gio.

Perhaps, because of this, Gio somehow managed to keep his emotions in check.

[The 6th Cavalry…… is best left to them, Gio.]

[……Tsk. The injured should just sleep away their injuries, Niko.]

Riding on Slei, Seras and I departed from that place.

As we were about to leave, I heard Niko’s voice behind me.

[I can’t stay asleep. I still have a battle to fight.]

[Are you an idiot…… You’re being reckless.]

[Gio.]

[……What.]

[When I encountered the 6th Cavalry, I knew I had no chance. Whether it’s the battle against them, or this war itself. They’re opponents possessing brutality exceeding what we thought…… Faced with wickedness that we don’t possess, it terrifies my heart to its very core. But at the same time, a thought occurred to me.]

Gio stayed silent.

We’ve already taken our distance.

However, we were just far enough that I could hear what Niko said.

[That we have “that guy” on our side too.]

[……Conquer wickedness with wickedness huh.]

[The battle against the 6th Cavalry, perhaps———— isn’t something that we could partake in. That was something I instinctively understood.]

▽

[Ahh? What’s thatーー?]

[They seem to be visages of people. They seemed to be riding…… something.]

[Hmmm…… He finally came out huh, the Mad Emperorーー.]

[? They don’t seem to be Human though……]

[Then, are those Demi-Humansーー? However, there’s only two of themーー.]

[No, that is…… probably not Demi-Humans, Ferenoch-dono. Those are———-]

The man named Ferenoch stands up.

[A Fly King headgearーー……? Could they beーー]

[If that’s true, why is he here?]

[I don’t knowーー…… Oiiiii, that’s far enoughーー! Stopーー! We’re Alion’s 6th Cavalryーー!]

The man named Ferenoch waved his hands overhead.

[Your rumored sorcery is scaryーー! But according to Captain, it can be prevented if we keep a certain distanceーー! He said that it’s dangerous to get too closeーー! That small crescent moon-like stone over thereーー! You can only approach until over thereーー! If the both of you are the real Fly King Squadron, then we need to talkーー! We currently don’t have any intention of causing you harmーー!]

I’m dressed as the Fly King, while Seras is dressed as the Fly Knight.

At this moment, Seras had already deployed her Regalia of the Spirits.

Listening to what Ferenoch said, we stopped at the rock that he pointed out.

The rocky terrain around here was so quiet that it was hard to believe that the whole area was a battlefield.

The cavalry’s horses were leashed at a distance, and they were all dismounted.

It seemed like the 6th Cavalry were resting.

In fact, they seemed to be taking a recess.

They’re quite relaxed.

After what they had done, here they are, taking a recess.

They didn’t even remove the blood splattered on their bodies.

They don’t seem to be planning on moving away from here.

During this time, the war situation in other areas is still ongoing.

I don’t want to spend too much time here if it’s possible.

[…………………..]

This area had a good vantage point and the path from this place was unobstructed.

It’s almost impossible to take them by surprise by hiding in the shadows.

They’re too far away to use my combination technique with Pigimaru to take them by surprise.

If they are wary of our combination technique, they might run out of my range.

Once I used it, I also couldn’t use it for a while.

It also eats up a lot of MP.

It’s a back-up move that should be used only when I’m sure that this settles the battle.

The soldiers in the front row readied their bows.

They were within a distance where our voices could be heard when we shouted.

However, they weren’t in the range of my .

They weren’t showing any opening.

Especially that man———– Ferenoch.

According to Mikhail’s information, that guy is the 6th Cavalry’s Deputy.

[———————-]

Even so…… He looks like he’s full of openings, while not having any openings at all.

That was also the same case for the other soldiers.

The quality of their cavalry is clearly different from the ones I’ve seen so far.

Perhaps, because their group is made up of a few elites, their cavalry is fewer than the other cavalry units.

However, even at this distance, I could tell that they were at a different quality from the others.

Fortunately…… Their numbers are within the limit of target numbers of my .

As for the Divine Beast————- I couldn’t see him anywhere.

The Divine Beast is the card that will end this war.

Is it because they know this that they are hiding him somewhere else?

That aside……

Their Captain, John Doe————- Which one of them is he?

He was apparently a guy whose feature is his lack of features.

There is indeed the problem of our distance———— but from this distance, I can’t tell which one of them is he.

I can’t sense him at all.

I can sense Ferenoch.

He has a definite presence.

He has the atmosphere of a strong person.

However, I can’t feel the presence of anyone greater than him.

I can’t sense anyone like that.

As I was thinking like that, Ferenoch came forward.

He’s at least 20 meters away from me.

From that distance, I think he’s trying to keep a distance of around 30 meters……

[People of the 6th Cavalry, it is my great pleasure to have met you. My name is Belzegia, the leader of the Fly King Squadron.]

Finished introducing myself, I asked.

[Even so, from the way you spoke earlier, Ferenoch-dono……  It doesn’t sound like you’re their Captain. Is the Captain not present?]

[Hmmーー? Ahh, he’s hereーー.]

Ferenoch pointed behind him.

[The one over there, in the middle row, is 6th Cavalry’s Captain, John Doeーー. However, the negotiations this time are left to meーー. The Captain will just observe youーー.]

[…………………….]

I see.

He looks ordinary.

Surprisingly ordinary.

The impression he gives out is thin———- No matter where I look at him, the impression he gives out is thin.

It’s as if…… He’s the concept of being a “mob” itself.

The man with no distinguishing features spoke.

[I guess we should begin with a greeting here, right? It is an honor to meet you. As Ferenoch introduced earlier, I am———–]

So it’s him———–

[The 6th Cavalry’s Captain, John Doe.]

We have received one new review since the last update. Thank you very much.

The next update is scheduled for July 30 (Friday), around 9:00 pm. (However, if there is no update by 9:00 pm on the scheduled date, it means that the story wasn’t written in time this time, and we would appreciate it if you could wait for it a bit later)
