Chapter 37
Things from now on
I managed to escape from the disposal ruins that had been said to have zero survival .
Feeling the warm sunlight with my body, I could finally take a break—
I can’t say sothing like that .
“There is a mark on the entrance that only the investigation team, who goes to inspect regularly, understands... There have never been any change in that mark . ”
I rembered the words that sh*tty goddess has said before I was being disposed .
Hiding behind the shade of a pillar, I kept my vigilance on my surroundings .
It seems that there have been no monitoring establishnts nearby nor investigators that would guard the entrance .
I think back again about the words of the goddess .
“–the investigation team, who goes to inspect regularly—“
Is it because this ruins had always been closed?
I’m constantly looking around the area as I look around for any presence of humans as I examined the entrance of the ruins .
I don’t see any thing that has changed at all .
I also can’t find any indication of anything that looks like a mark .
“—a mark on the entrance that only the investigation team, who goes to inspect regularly, understands...”
To sum it up, the mark has a troubleso disguise .
It should be considered that it’s only a matter of ti before they know that I have escaped the ruins .
The door of the ruins had already closed .
The mont that I had gotten out, the door had surprisingly been closed .
It’s as if this ruins is telling to “Quickly get lost!”
Is it because I’ve killed too much of the monsters living in this ruins?
I wasn’t able to bring out that golden jewel that was needed to open the door .
I would have sold it if I was able to bring it out but...
It seems that the outside world is not doing well too .
The area nearby the exit of the ruins looks like a ruined landscape .
In other words, this ruined landscape could be said to be the inheritance of an ancient civilization .
I could definitely see the image of what should be an ancient ruins, just like those photographs I had seen on my textbook .
I quickly looked around the neighborhood .
It seems that this ruins is in the middle of a forest .
I guess it’s about ti that I should live this place .
I need to escape here before they would be inford of my existence .
I have no business with this place anymore .
v
I’ve discovered a path that I think people had used before .
I could see the bare earth .
The ground had solidified after being treaded on multiple tis .
Is this the road used by the investigation team and the people who normally goes in this forest?
If that’s the case, I think it’s better for not to go through this path .
“Captain! I had seen traces of unfamiliar footsteps that has passed through this path!”
It’s possible sothing like that will happen later...
I guess I’ll go through this forest a short distance away from the path .
[I wish I can find so place that have so water... I want to wash my body already . ]
Although I have already escaped from that place, there are still many things that I have to do .
I’d also like my habit of speaking to myself that I had developed in that ruins to be cleared off .
I really need to stop it .
[Status Open . ]
LV 1789
HP: 5367
MP: 59037
Attack: 5367
Defense: 5367
Physical strength: 5367
Speed: 5367
Wisdom: 5367
Only the MP had a different amount of digits in it .
But this is not what I really want to check out now .
I wanted to check the skills entry .
I want to check out the two skills that have leveled up .
MP-consumption 10 / Multi-Target Casting / Optional Release / Partial Release (Head)>
MP-consumption 10 / Multi-Target Casting / Optional Release / Option: Non-lethal>
The entries have increased .
Both of the skills have added on them .
When I were back in the ruins, there had been no situation where I felt the necessity to cancel my skills .
I haven’t really thought about my inability to cancel my skills .
It is now possible for to release them out of my skills if I so will it, huh .
If I there is a monster nearby, I’m going to try it later...
The other new addition in the skill is the .
I am wondering about the additional display, this “head” word that is enclosed by parentheses .
Does this an that it’s possible for to release just the head from the paralysis?
It seems that it will be useful when I want to talk with the one I paralyzed .
There’s also the new addition in the skill, .
In short, I think that I could now make my poison into sothing that doesn’t kill my target .
If I were to talk as if this were a ga, it’s like a poison that always leaves soone into only 1 HP?
I think this might surprisingly be useful .
I don’t think I’ll be using this skill that much though .
[............]
If I want so kind of effect to be added on my skills, I think sothing like making it work to that sh*tty goddess is a perfect skill for .
[I need to test out the additional effect of my when an opportunity cos . ]
I close down the status display and took out a cola from the leather bag .
This cola had been in my bag for quite so ti .
This is the last mouthful until the PET bottle is completely empty .
Let’s drink this in celebration for returning alive from the ruins .
I gulp it all in one breath .
It might have been obvious, but the carbonic acid in the cola has long been lost .
However, this dense sweetness quenched the fatigue out of my body...
[Fuuuu...]
I keep the empty PET bottle with .
I will keep it as a water container when I have found a clean river .
I started walking through the forest again .
There are many things for to think about .
However, I need to confront them just one at a ti .
I would get too confused when I think about all of them at the sa ti .
Besides, Multitasking has never been my strong point .
[Now then...]
I guess I should find a village or town first .
I want to take a proper rest at so inn .
I also want to buy so new clothing .
It’s because I want to change out of this uniform under my robe .
This uniform from my original world is too conspicuous .
With the situation I am right now, I need to avoid standing out as much as possible .
I also want to know where I am now .
Is this place within the territory of the Allion Kingdom?
Am I closer to the center of the territory?
Or am I sowhere near the frontier?
Or is it that I’m in an another country?
Worst of all, there’s a possibility that I’m even in the other side of the sea .
I want to get a map if I can find one .
Fortunately, I have found so silver coins and jewels in the ruins .
It’s reassuring that I’m not completely broke .
However, I think I need to know how much is the worth of the silver coins and the jewels .
I also need to know the market price of the commodities .
I’ve also received so macro informations when we were just summoned by that goddess . (T/N: macro information = public info . )
However, I haven’t heard of the section where the micro information was explained .
I think I need so suitable confirmation myself .
[After that—]
I glance at the leather bag that I am carrying .
The Forbidden Archives of Spells and Curses .
I can’t gather any information from this .
This may be the power that would help fight that goddess .
[Now that I think about it...]
Is it possible for to learn the contents of this book?
Can I beco a forbidden spell-user if I were able to learn how to read the language used in this book?
Or the ones who could learn these spells are limited to their race?
I want this to be clarified too .
[I have to gather information about forbidden spells as much as possible . ]
And then...
[I want a sword . ]
Unintentionally, I muttered .
My status other than my MP is low .
That’s what I had been thinking until today .
I recall the mory of when I was in the ruins .
I almost haven’t used any of my stamina around the second half of when I was there .
I haven’t gotten sick even once .
I also feel that the fatigue I feel on my feet as I ascend the ruins got diminished and it’s as if my feet feels lighter than before .
There’s also the luggage that I have been carrying in my leather bag that I feel is lighter than before, even though the things that I had been carrying has increased .
That’s why I think that the effect of the correction value has certainly started to show .
However, the Soul Eater and the various monsters has continued to recognize as soone who is “weak” .
Even after I had broken through Lv 1000, I was still the weakest in the ruins .
So to speak, I’m probably the magician types who stays at the rear guard .
I’m not the warrior type who fights in the vanguard .
That’s what I think .
That why I suddenly said that .
“I want a sword . ”
That’s why I murmur such a thing .
[It would also be reassuring if soone like a shieldbearer could be my escort...]
If I have a “sword” that protects when I was casting my abnormal state skills on the rear, I can concentrate on invoking my skills without worry .
In the ruins, I don’t have to worry about blind spot if I just put my back against the wall .
Removing the blind spot can be used at that ruins since that place has nurous walls that you could also hide in .
However, that is not always possible when I’ve arrived here above ground .
[...... . . ]
Hiring a skilled rcenary could be one of the possible actions I could take if I wanted an extra helping hand in the fight with the goddess .
[–Or I could just make my own rcenary group . ]
In order to achieve my revenge, I would have to exert double... no, triple counter-asures for every possibility that could happen .
This unidentified forbidden power .
It would be dangerous if I bet too much hope on just these forbidden spells .
I scratch my head .
[If my abnormal state skill works on that sh*tty goddess, it would have been easier for to exact my revenge... well, it seems you can’t be hasty on the things you do even in this world . ]
It can’t be helped .
There’s nothing convenient in this world .
On the contrary, I think that things have been too convenient for since I have the abnormal state skill and the convenient ability of my leather bag .
[After that... I should also find so ti to look through the contents of that book that I had received from the Great Sage, “Encyclopedia of the Forbidden Arts”—]
(T/N: I’m going to rena the book to synch it with the one written on the manga . )
A presence .
I close my mouth and raised my vigilance upon my surroundings .
I can’t feel any thirst for blood .
However, I could feel its intent to attack others .
Is it a monster?
I investigate the source of the presence as I hide behind the trees .
[Pigi!]
[Pigi!?]
[Piggiggiggiiiii!]
[Piggi!]
A translucent creature that is blue and round jiggled on the ground .
[Aren’t those—]
There are apparently six of them, as far as I could see .
[–slis?]
