Chapter 141 (2/2)

[Eve, wai—-]

Slaaaassshhh!

[Gyoooeeeehhh!]

Raising out a hoarse shriek, blood spouted out of the monster.

The monster then fell and crashed on the ground.

Blue blood began spreading near Eve’s feet.

Swinging her sword, Eve looks confused.

[W… What’s the matter, Touka? It seemed to me like you tried stopping me from attack earlier—]

[——– ,….. Do you think it’s still breathing?]

[No, it seems that it’s about to die. It’s just twitching about now.]

[……Let’s step away from that for the time being.]

[U- Understood.]

[……………….]

Eve’s decision earlier isn’t wrong.

It suddenly approached us before we even knew it.

There’s also the fact that it’s really close to us.

If we’re thinking about our safety, that’s definitely the best course of action.

However…

I looked towards the monster’s corpse lying there facing up (?) in the air.

[That thing, it feels like…]

It felt like it’s one of “those” who doesn’t have any obsession with living.

However, I could certainly feel its aggressiveness.

Yes, it’s as if—-

It’s as if this thing is inviting us to kill it.

Twitch—

The monster moved— I could see it.

In the next moment, the monster began emitting light.

[SHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII————–]

I immediately called out.

[Everyone, get away from here!]

[Igggiiiiiieeeeeeehhhiiiiinnnnneeeeerrrorororororororoiiiiiihhiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeehhhhhhh——–!]

Its shrill, loud voice feels like it would pierce my ears.

Covering both of my ears, I tried blocking away its sharp, loud voice.

—-Don’t tell me, this guy…

Something suddenly crossed in my mind.

It was that man who had bandages all over his body who was together with the Five Dragon Warriors.

That rune magic that activates after death.

The rune magic that notifies Civit about the existence of a formidable enemy.

I had a bad premonition.

I think my thoughts were spot on.

No, should I rather call it intuition rather than premonition?

The voice stopped.

The light also subsided.

Eve then removed her hand from her ears.

[W- What in the world was that just now…]

[It looks like it already used up all of its strengths but… is it this guy’s final cry of agony?]

[However, it still have that loudness—]

The first one to notice “that” is the one with sharpest ears, Eve Speed.

[——-That is…]

———–stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp—————

They’re approaching…

From all directions…

They’re coming towards here.

Sitting on my knees and closing my eyes, I concentrated on the presences around me.

I propped up my fingertip on the ground.

Multiple ear-piercing roars repeatedly rang out one after another.

Continuous tremors shook the ground from a long distance.

Just like savages appearing with torture tools in hand.

Just like ink painting murky, black evil intent from all directions.

Sadistic feelings as muddy as coal tar.

[……I see.]

“Tsk.” I clicked my tongue.

They’re mixed along with them as well.

[Bunches of Human-Faced.]

I think I could already feel some thirst in my mouth.

Gulping down the saliva in my mouth, I took the composure off my body.

I certainly did subjugate a Human-Faced in the Demon Zone just the other day—-

[This is—-]

———————————————-just way too much.

Although it took some time when the next publication was released, thanks to that, two volumes of “I Became the Strongest With The Failure Frame【Abnormal State Skill]As I Devastated Everything” will be released on 12/25 (Tue). Even so, there may be some places where the stores were already being lined up in….

It was a very difficult task, but we checked it all out and made some minor revisions, corrections, and modifications in the novel. Also, we have additional scenes. Would the main additions be the two scenes for Seras, one scene for Civit, or Touka’s monologue in the prologue?

I was also very impressed with KWKM-sama’s frontpiece illustration, that also includes his other illustrations, and they were able to exceed all of the expectations that I have…. Anyway, I can only say that these illustrations are wonderful.

In addition to the wonderful illustration of Seras wiping her body in the room in an inn in the extra scene and lying on her bed in thin clothes, Seras’s illustrations in the other scenes are also really high quality. Sometimes I feel like I want to grab the paperback book and flip through the pages again (in which, I actually did). I feel now that the intention of including additional scenes and “making this book centered around Seras” has been reflected well.

However… Putting aside Seras being more wonderful than I imagined, Civit having a strong sense of strength, most of all … Touka is really cool. I’m glad that male characters also make this work attractive. In fact, I also designed Nyantan … but the illustration has become that scene of the goddess doing that (I might be a bit too radical though). In his work, they beautifully featured the reproduction of the appearance and clothing that were mentioned in the work like “Cat-like” and “Highly Exposed”. In addition to these works, I received illustrations that would make the work more appealing, such as illustrations by the incredibly powerful goddess (on the contrary though, it looked quite cool), and illustrations that introduced characters using Takao’s sister bathhouse scenes. There is an illustration that shows the image in my head as it is, and I really cannot thank KWKM-sama enough.

And I didn’t know how to put the image up to now, but this time it’s a beautiful cover illustration, so I’ll put it on for a show … (Sweat)

The Web version emphasizes the basic tempo and focuses on spotlighting the Touka’s story, but the book version may become more intense, such as the story of Touka & Seras.

…This was a long (too long) book. (It also affects the reading style of the book, so I’m going to erase it later or shorten it.) Readers of the Web may think that the book version should be like a collector’s item. I would like to recommend this for those who say, “I’d like to have something with KWKM-sama’s illustrations and additional scenes!”

In any case, thanks to all of you, I was able to publish these books and the continuation of this book. As usual, I would like to thank you for taking this opportunity. I hope that I will be able to greet all of you again around the end of the year, including my thanks by the end of the holidays.
