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

Chapter 380: Raid

<Author's Notes>

My apologies. In the end, I was away for 2 weeks.

First in line is Sogou Ayaka.

After Sogou and Banewolf exchanged a few brief words

[Just make sure you come back safely, Sogou-san.]

Suou Kayako called out to Sogawa with a very worried voice.

Even that Suou has started to show such expressions now.

[Ayaka-chan.]

[Class Prez!]

The rest of the group staying behind also called out to Sogou.

To be honest, I kinda want her to just leave already.

However, the mindset right before departure is crucial for the battle ahead.

I looked around again.

As expected, I couldn't see any signs of the Sacraments or Vysis's subordinates.

Aside from the skirmish just before entering the Royal Capital, it seems Vysis hasnt placed any of her pawns outside the labyrinth.

[.]

This labyrinth.

Wondering if there might be some kind of "trick" that can be used here

I had confirmed this with Loqierra.

"Regarding that entrance limit Vysis had more than a hundred of her pawns waiting outside the labyrinth, right? Right after this appears Suppose if they rushed into the labyrinth before we reached the Capital, couldn't they immediately fill the entrance limit? If that happens, we won't be able to enter and would have ended up being stuck outside. Why didn't she just do that?"

When I asked that, Loqierra explained.

"Oh, you thought of that too huh. Actually There were Gods who pondered the same thing in the past. However, that wasn't possible. Why? Because the labyrinth is "alive"- in other words, it has a will of its own. The labyrinth detects unfair "tricks" and prevents them. The labyrinths structure reflects the will of its creator, meaning that any intent to "cheat" is also conveyed and detected. It's kind of like the labyrinths own sense of pride. What counts as a trick' can be unclear though, which is what makes this labyrinth interesting."

I see.

This Genesis Labyrinth

What counts as a trick' in the eyes of the labyrinth

In a way, exploiting those loopholes is part of the strategy.

At that moment

[Touka.]

Seizing the opportunity, the Mad Emperor called out to me.

[I too shall join in entering the labyrinth.]

[Are you sure that's alright?]

The Mad Emperor is the ruler of his nation after all.

[From His Majesty Mira's side, Chester Ord, known as the bravest of the Ord Family, will also participate.]

Incidentally, the Head of the Ord Family, Yoyo Ord, will not be entering the labyrinth.

Her age had still taken its toll on her body and she had fallen ill during the march.

Moreover, in terms of individual combat power, she isn't that strong.

But if it's the Mad Emperor, who is considered the strongest in the Empire

[While having Your Majesty participate is much appreciated Weren't you strongly opposed by Yoyo and the other Mira nobles?]

The Mad Emperor had already volunteered to enter the labyrinth before.

However, he faced strong opposition from the Mira faction.

Even Yoyo

"If that's the case, I'll just go in place of His Majesty."

Despite not feeling well, she was determined to participate.

It wasn't just Yoyo who said this.

The Mad Emperor Falken Dotzine Mira Dias Ordzit.

This young Emperor is someone the people of Mira can't afford to lose.

[Don't tell me, Your Majesty, you're not planning to enter the labyrinth without informing the Mira people-]

To that question

[I persuaded them.]

The Mad Emperor replied so.

However, feeling skeptical

[The Mira people actually agreed to this?]

At my question, the Mad Emperor smiled mischievously.

[Fufu They were quite taken aback by how stubbornly I insisted on my "selfishness". It was quite a sight.]

With a somewhat satisfied expression on his face, the Mad Emperor continued.

[Even if I were to fall here, Mira's next Emperor, Wright, is fully capable. In fact, seeing his recent growth, Kaiser is also fit to be the next Emperor. Our Mira has two suitable candidates. Besides, after defeating Vysis, I had been planning to abdicate anyway.]

I did previously hear about his intention to abdicate the throne.

[Your Majesty]

[Also, that's enough of that.]

[Hm?]

[No matter where we are, I want you to speak to me as you would with anyone else. This might be our final farewell in this world after all.]

[Then, how should I address you? No What should I call you?]

[Fufu, just call me Zine. However Please excuse the way I speak. I've been speaking like this since I was a child, so it's deeply ingrained in me.]

I paused for a moment.

[Is that okay, Zine?]

The Mad Emperor Zine lowered his voice

[I will enter close to Asagi. I'm the one who brought her to our side. I will make sure to take care of her to the end.]

Be careful Doesn't seem to be words I need to speak here.

From the way he said that

He must be aware that I sense something out of place about Asagi.

Putting that aside

[Am I your first friend, Zine?]

[Hm? What do you mean?]

The "friend" story that I heard from his brother Kaiser.

[Am I, Touka Mimori, Zine Mira's first friend?]

[-]

There was a slight pause.

Then, Zine naturally showed a faint smile.

[I suppose so That indeed seems to be the case. Fufu It seems that way indeed]

At his lips

[Touka.]

A smile truly befitting his age could be seen.

[Well then, I'm off.]

After exchanging farewells, Sogou shouldered her backpack and spoke to those staying behind.

[When this battle is over, we can finally go home together with everyone, back to our original world.]

At Sogou's words, Hijiri briefly called out to her.

[Sogou-san.]

In response to Hijiri's call, Sogou nodded with a dependable expression on her face.

A reassuring smile adorned her lips once again, instilling a sense of dependability to others.

As Sogou started walking towards the entrance, I called out to her as well.

[I'm leaving those to you, Sogou.]

[Yeah, leave this to me.]

Sogou passed by me and stepped into the transfer room.

Inside her backpack were magic tools designed for use against Vysis.

If we were to entrust them to someone, it had to be someone who could activate them alone without fail.

After discussing this with Eve and Loqierra, we selected to entrust them to Sogou.

"Erika set the range of this magic tool to encompass the entire labyrinth, so its effect should cover it completely."

After Eve explained so, I asked Loqierra.

"It seems that to some extent, it's possible to bring weapons and luggage into the labyrinth but does the effect of these magic tools properly reach inside even if used outside the labyrinth?"

To my question, Loqierra answered "It's a bit iffy".

"There's a concern that the effect of the magic tool might be "repelled" by the Genesis Labyrinth's outer membrane. Just to be safe, I think it's better to bring it inside."

If we're going to activate it, the first person to enter should be someone who can "almost certainly" activate it alone.

The candidates for this include me, Seras, and the Takao sisters- but after some consideration, it was decided to be Sogou.

If it's Sogou, even if she encounters enemies, she could use her Silver Knights and floating weapons as a shield to buy herself time.

Being the first one to go in is also so that those who follow next can easily join forces with her, our strongest member.

At that moment, the transfer room was enveloped in light.

When the light subsided, Sogou had vanished.

With this it can be said that it has truly begun.

The final battle.

Entry is one person at a time.

Until the transfer is complete, the next person can't enter the teleportation room.

If someone is in the teleportation room, an impassable semi-transparent membrane seems to manifest.

After her, the ones entering next are divided into the vanguards and the rearguards.

A rearguard will enter after a short delay after the vanguards.

As for the vanguards, they're assembled mainly with members who can deal with the Divine Servants.

On the other hand, the rearguards consist mostly of volunteer elite members from various countries.

Why?

Because most of the volunteer elite members from each country

They're primarily prepared for the battle against Vysis.

Thus, we want to avoid unnecessarily reducing their numbers in battles against the Divine Servants.

As a precaution, we put some slight pause in between the entry times.

During that time lag, the vanguards will deal with the Divine Servants.

If they can deal with them, that would be most desirable.

Now then.

The next one would be teleporting

[I'm off.]

is Munin.

Based on the ordering, she's sandwiched between Seras and Sogou.

Sogou Ayaka and Seras Ashrain.

The top two in solo combat power among the raid members.

Munin's ordering is based on the expectation she would be meeting up with one of them.

Munin enters the teleportation room.

[Munin.]

Hearing her name being called by Fugi, Munin softly smiled.

[See you later Fugi.]

Munin gets teleported.

Next to Seras is- Pigimaru.

[Pyurii~~ Pyuu, pyuu.]

He bounced his way into the teleportation room.

Slei, who will be staying behind, cheered for Pigimaru.

I also waved my hand, seeing him off.

[See you later.]

[Pigi!]

Pigimaru's teleportation ends.

After him is me.

I entered the teleportation room.

After me would be Loqierra.

After her are the Takao Sisters.

I have my Abnormal State Skill.

If things work well, I have the power to win without having to exhaust myself.

If that's possible

The best-case scenario is I get to deal with the Divine Servants early with my Abnormal State Skill.

That way, we can face Vysis while preserving the others.

No

If possible, it would be best to quickly take down Vysis.

However, Vysis has that <Dispel Bubble>.

If, by any chance, that thing is also casted towards the Divine Servants

In this battle, it would be absolutely necessary for me to join up with Munin.

Depending on the conditions, meeting up with Munin would become more important than meeting up with anyone else.

Incidentally, Eve is moved back in the ordering a bit.

This was to take randomness into consideration.

"It's not guaranteed that those with close ordering will be teleported nearby."

This consideration led to a "dispersed deployment".

Responding to Slei's cheer just before my teleportation

At that moment.

As some sort of sound seemed to buzz in my ears

Kyuuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnn

Going from inner areas of the labyrinth to the outside It felt like there was something passing through.

I suppose I could describe it as some sort of "glaring sound".

For a brief moment, Loqierra, who was waiting for her turn

[Hmm I see, so that's how it is

-reacted as if she felt uncomfortable.

From the entrance of the teleportation room, I could somewhat see the outside of the labyrinth.

The air was sparkling, shimmering with light.

The current scene I saw just before being teleported

Yes, it's as if snow made of light was falling.

Apart from that buzzing sound in the ears, I felt nothing unusual.

[.]

I had already been teleported inside the labyrinth.

My view consisted of a white corridor and white walls.

The corridor was a bit wider than the hallways of the school in my previous world.

As for that sound- It can't be heard anymore.

It's become quiet.

The sound and light just before I was teleported

There's also Loqierra's reaction

[I see, that just now]

Sogou, who went in first, had probably successfully activated the magic tool against Vysis.

This notation is commonly used to avoid confusion when scheduling late-night programs, making it clear that the show is airing after midnight, but still considered part of the same day's programming block.)

We hope to enjoy this anime together with everyone.

Thank you for everyone's continued support for "Failure Frame".

<T/N: Here are the character images as I saw them in My Anime List. Some of the characters looked quite different, so I'm posting them here.>

Mimori Touka

Seras Ashrain

Pigimaru

(Already seen the above Touka and Seras before, while Pigimaru looks like typical slime.)

Vysis

(What purity. Surely she doesn't have any sort of ill-intent in her heart)

Sogou Ayaka

(Yeah, she does look like a goody two-shoes Class Prez, almost like an NPC)

Takuto Kirihara

(At least he doesn't look like an old man pretending like a highschooler now.)

Takao Hijiri

(Certainly looks like that cool-type sporty onee-san.)

Takao Itsuki

(A gyaru.)

Kashima Kobato

(Looks like a character from Clannad who somehow found herself in the wrong genre)

Ikusaba Asagi

(I'm kinda confused if short-haired girl or a beautiful dude. Also, MAL listed her name as Senjou Asagi. Dunno if they got that from the LN, haven't read the official translated version. ps. I got the Ikusaba from the furigana written by the author.)

Tomohiro Yasu

(They totally beautified this dude. I remember this guy having the hairstyle of a chopped coconut.)

Oyamada Shougo

(And they turned this guy uglier. Meh, don't think I remember much of his face either, but well, he now looks like the typical blondie from NTR.)
