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

I’ve finally finished the procedure of selling the ornaments and jewelries I’ve found in the ruins.

After a while, my name was called.

They gave me a satchel that contains coins.

According to the officer in charge, I received quite a sum of money.

It seems that the Marquis has instructed them to do so.

Are they celebrating for the discovery of the Dragon Eye Sakazuki?

Well, I’ll gratefully accept their generosity.

Though I said that, I don’t even know the market price of those treasures I sold off.

In any case, my purse became warmer again.

To the extent that even the three days of lodging isn’t even a problem.

[I also have to check some information about that egg soon.]

Should I look through the “Encyclopedia of the Forbidden Arts” later if there’s any information written in there?

[Hati-dono.]

When we were about to separate in the ruins, Mist called out to me.

[I’ve only seen it from quite a distance, but it seems that there’s an immense uproar going on in there.]

[Holding still in your position was a great idea. It is Hati-dono who really needs to be praised.]

Mist let out a strained laugh.

I pointed towards my backpack that carries the silver bones.

[I entered the ruins not because I want your praise, but because I wanted to do something for this guy. There’s no need for me to face unnecessary troubles. Anyway, what’s your plans hereafter?]

[Tomorrow, I will be receiving some hospitality from the marquis along with the reward.]

Like I thought.

[I wish I could decline too. But if I weren’t to accept it, I don’t think I would be able to get my rewards.]

[Well, it looks like that marquis is someone fixated on formalities.]

Surprisingly, she was being recruited by the marquis to be included in his private soldiers.

[That’s why, I’m going to have to stay another night here in Mills.]

[Are you going to be staying in the inn?]

[I was told that they would prepare a room in the Marquis’ mansion, but I declined their offer.]

[Then, are you going to rent another room in the inn?]

[Yes. Nevertheless, I would be expecting to get 300 gold coins tomorrow so I have no concern about accommodation costs for the meantime.]

[You’re going towards their house tomorrow, so are you going to have some free time?]

[That’s right, but it seems like I will be able to stay here for some time.]

Around this time, the people of the Marquis were surely investigating whether this Dragon Eye Sakazuki that Mist brought is real or not.

I wonder if they can even be appraised by people who haven’t seen the real thing.

I take out the pocket watch.

[How about we talk in my room at around 8:00 pm? I thought you would also want to take some rest now in the inn. I feel like they’re making the dinner separately for different people in here though.]

[I understand.]

Finished making an appointment with Mist, I promptly left the ruins.

I already have the tools I needed to turn the bone meal into an enhancer.

I bought it when I visited the shops with Mist before.

They would get some cracks if I were to bring them with me inside the ruins, so I left them in the custody of the officer in charge of me at the checking station before I entered the ruins.

The necessary tools needed for the preparation of the Enhancer were also described in the “Encyclopedia of the Forbidden Arts”.

The basics about using these tools seem to be similar to the other tools from back in my world that resemble them.

It seems that making an Enhancer is simpler than I had thought.

The first bottleneck that I faced with making these were just the acquisition of the monster materials.

However, I’ve just safely acquired the materials earlier.

There was only one thing left that I have forgotten to buy before.

I forgot to buy it because I put my thought more on the ruins raid rather than the Enhancer.

I went towards the main street in order to purchase some.

Finding the store that deals the desired item, I entered.

There was a lot of them stocked in the inventory.

It seems that there were no shortage of this type of goods.

There are several types of the item I needed.

Their prices seem to differ from one another depending on the details on the said item.

However… the store owner won’t allow me to confirm the contents at all.

After checking them out, I presented the selected item towards the storekeeper.

[Can I have this?]

I finished the transaction and left the store.

Well, I kept standing outside the premises of the store and leaned my back against the store’s outer wall.

Untying the knot of the item, I spread it out in front of me.

[Let’s see, Jonato Principality is here…]

I have just purchased a world map.

I wanted to get this before.

The Urza Kingdom where I am now is located in the southern part of the continent.

Looking through here, Mills seems to be the southernmost city in Urza.

Further south of Mills, there is a dark-colored forest and the Disposal Ruins.

Right in the center of the continent lies the Great Ruins, the Golden Demon Zone.

North of the continent lies the Magnar Kingdom.

[The Magnar in the north is the forefront force against the Great Demon Emperor, or so I heard…]

The Kingdom of Magnar was spreading out from east to west.

It’s a pretty long country based on this map.

Magnar occupies most of the top part of the continent.

That place that the fallen Great Fortress – Night Wall was situated in seems to be somewhere in between two mountains.

Sharp mountain-like symbols were extending out towards the east and west of the fort.

I see.

So, they’ve set up the fortress in this plain area huh…

Before this fortress have fallen, they must have been obstructing the intruders in this place.

The name of the Mira Empire is written in the southwestern part of the continent.

This is a place that I’ve only known for the first time.

Situated in the southeast lies the Bakuos Empire.

Nearby, there’s the Holy Kingdom of Neia that is sandwiched in between Urza and Bakuos.

I heard that Bakuos has invaded them and they had surrendered though…

It seems that this map hasn’t been revised yet.

And then, there’s the Jonato Principality that’s located in the northwest part of the continent.

That’s the country that Mist said she was aiming for.

[However…]

I shift my line of sight towards the upper right corner of the map.

The Alion Kingdom is located in the northeast part of the continent.

It’s the country where that f*cking goddess lives.

North — Magnar Kingdom

Northeast — Alion Kingdom

Northwest — Jonato Principality

—In the Center — The Golden Demon Zone

Southeast — Bakuos Empire

Southwest — Mira Empire

South — Urza Empire

There are these six countries on in this continent, that’s if you exclude the Golden Demon Zone.

Alright.

I have roughly grasped the locations of the these countries.

[………….]

I was able to grasp the information that I wanted to confirm.

I proceeded on checking out the time.

There should still be plenty of time until the time we promised to meet up.

If that’s so…

[Is it possible for me to just go back to the inn and get started?]

–to make the Monster Enhancer.

After excusing myself from the innkeeper, I started making the Enhancers in my room.

It can be said to be easy to make since it only makes use of a single material.

I quickly washed the utensils that I would be using with water in the area below.

Pigimaru is lying on the bed.

He’s swaying left and right, but he’s trying to keep quiet as much as possible.

I spread out the tools on top of a clean mattress.

Overall, the utensils were quite compact.

Or rather, I chose the utensils that were as compact as possible.

It’s so that it would be easier for me to bring them on my trip.

Well, I might still make use of it in the future…

I reconfirmed the contents in the “Encyclopedia of the Forbidden Arts” that was left open beside me.

[Let’s see, I should first…]

First, I should finely crush the bones.

Again and again, I pounded down on the bone in a mortar and turned it into powder.

Crush~ Crunch~

Next, mix the powder with water.

[Hmm?]

When they had thoroughly mixed, it looks like the water level has considerably decreased.

The color has also changed from its silver color to a translucent blue.

[Next would be…]

I put the mixture into a glass container and heated it.

There are special tools that were specifically just for heating.

When it was heated, the transparency of the blue bone powder is increasing.

Until finally, it became transparent.

I feel like I’m doing some kind of science experiment or some sort.

[After this, I will use this filter to— wait, before I do that…]

There were some crystals that were attached to the filter.

When I’ve injected magic element into the crystal, it began to shine.

With this, this filter could neatly filter things through some unique ability.

The price of this thing and that heating magic tool was quite hefty.

It seems that tools that make use of magic energy is somewhat more expensive.

By the way, they said that these tools can’t be used indefinitely because it has some sort of life span which depends on the number of uses each tool could do.

The first filtration for the mixture of bone powder and water is finally finished.

I repeated this until all of the bone meal was used.

And with this…

[It’s finally complete.]

I seem to have used up a lot of bone meal…

[If you mix water with the bone meal, the water level would go down by a lot. In the end, I only have around the volume of one coffee cup…]

Anyway, the Monster Enhancer is finally complete.

Suddenly, I felt really drowsy.

I check out the time in my pocket watch.

[Should I sleep for a bit…?]

Sleep is really important.

I still had some fatigue that accumulated in the Mills Ruins that hasn’t been released yet.

I would try to use the Enhancer to Pigimaru later I’ve taken some sleep.

It would be hard for me to sleep properly after I tried using it and something wrong suddenly springs up.

Well, I think it’s going to be okay since the effect was written down in the “Encyclopedia of the Forbidden Arts”.

[And with that, We’ll just use the Enhancer later.]

[Pii~ ♪]

After asking Pigimaru to wake me up if something happens, I fell asleep on the soft bed.
