I Became the Strongest With The Failure Frame 【Abnormal State Skill】As I Devastated Everything
chapter-238-30041322

Hearing the Fly King’s name, Mikhail looked like he had thought about something.

[That Fly King outfit…… Naming yourself Belzegia————- Y- You’re that person!]

[I’m sure you know who we are, right?]

[T- Then!? The one in the Fly Knight outfit is……]

[Seras Ashrain.]

[A- As I thought……!]

[As you may have seen from our previous battle, we see the Great Demon Emperor as an enemy to be defeated. And we strongly sympathize with the ideas of the Holy Alliance——— especially, the Goddess of Alion.]

[Which means……]

[As I had told you, we are on your side.]

[Ooohhh!? N- No, but…… I appreciate your assistance, but in this situation……]

[Oya, you didn’t know? In the battle in that White Castle, we crushed not only the Human-Faced, but even the Demon Emperor’s First Oath. Compared to them……]

His eyes looking down towards me, the Fly King snorted.

[Rabbles like these…… aren’t worth that much.]

[Oohhh! How reassuring!]

A glimmer of hope lit up in Mikhail’s eyes.

Thereupon, the Fly King pointed his palm towards me.

[ < Paralyze > ]

[? Ah…… Eh?]

(Arehh? My body…… won’t move?)

[T- That just now…….?]

[This is the rumored Sorcery. The Spell I used just now had the effect of paralyzing people. That aside———– That Arachne, we can use her as a hostage.]

[No, Fly King, I’m afraid…… that is not possible. This bug, for that Leopardkin and Centaur over there————]

[No, making you think like that was exactly their plan. They want to make it look as if she isn’t worthy of being a hostage, so that you will not use her as a hostage…… They’re beings capable of things such as acting.]

[ ! ]

[Thus, that Arachnid Prime Minister is useful enough as a hostage.]

[H- How can you be so sure…….?]

[Until a few days ago, I had been within the Faraway Country.]

[What!?]

[Pretending to be friendly, I tried to probe what exactly is within their country.]

[O- Oh my……]

[It’s no exaggeration to say that the person supporting their country right now is that Prime Minister. In other words, for them, losing their Prime Minister would be a huge blow to the future survival of their country.]

[So that’s how it is…… Tsk, d*mned fake humans! To dare take a trivial scheme against this Mikhail Eucalion, unforgivable…… This is unforgivable!]

[……It seems like you have something you want to say, Liese-dono?]

[——-Youuuuuuu! Eh? I can talk……]

[I’ve weakened my Spell so you can speak.]

D*mned b*stard!!!

I glared at the Fly King.

But at the same time, I felt wetness drip down my cheeks.

Tears.

I hate him.

Being in this situation frustrates me.

[This is…… your retaliation towards me!? This is…… This is just……]

[I’m supposed to be the Fly King here, but she’s even more annoying than a fly every time she speaks…… It can’t be helped, let’s plug that mouth again.]

[You…… ——–bas…….]

For some reason, I can’t speak properly again.

I guess he strengthened that Spell of his again.

[Whoa there———— Gio-dono, Qir-dono, Armia-dono…… I’d like it if you don’t move. If you do anything I don’t like, I will kill Lieselotte without mercy.]

[Kuhh……]

Not one of them moved.

It hurts.

I want to tell them to not worry about me, and just beat them all up.

However, my body won’t move.

[My apologies, Mikhail-dono.]

[F- For what?]

[My apologies for being late in coming to help. The 1st Cavalry’s mobility…… was such that we lost sight of them in this rocky terrain. It already took us lots of effort catching up like this.]

[I- It’s alright! You don’t have to worry about that! It’s just that my 1st Cavalry was specially mobile!]

[However, please don’t worry…… Although we are inferior to your cavalry in terms of mobility, my Sorcery is unmatched in power. Their numbers matter not before me. This battle is already under my command. These barbarians who are supposedly surrounding us with overwhelming numbers aren’t moving at all…… That is proof that we’ve taken control of the battle.]

[This is——-]

Trembling with excitement, Mikhail spoke.

[The tables have turned.]

A twisted smile appeared on Mikhail’s face, his eyes turning bloodshot.

That smirk that seems to tell us “Serves you right”……

It turned into a broad grin.

[Filthy beasts…… How do you feel now!? Hear me, you better prepare yourselves…… For I will have you all tortured to death in the most horrific ways imaginable! I will make a spectacle out of you! I’ll set up a large whorehouse for your females! However, don’t expect that they would be left off easily! It will be a torture whorehouse where any cruelty is allowed! I’m sure it will be popular! Do you have children!? Some of you probably have children, right!? I’ll have you tortured in front of your children! Then, I will torture your children before your eyes! Regretting things now———– is far too late! Serves you right, fake humans! Serves you right!]

[……By the way, Mikhail-dono.]

Looking like he had spoken out in a trance, Mikhail heavily breathed.

[Haahhh, haahhh…… Haahhh…… U- Umu. What is it?]

[I know that we’re in a situation here…… but there are a few things that I would like to get a quick grasp of here. So that we could plan out what to do next, I mean.]

Hearing his words, Mikhail seemed to have regained his composure……

[Yes, you may ask anything. I already consider you one of us.]

The Fly King asked a series of quick questions.

However, among his questions————- I found one of them that seemed to bother me.

I felt a very subtle feeling of discomfort.

However, there was something different about “that question” from the other questions.

That’s what I think.

However, Mikhail didn’t seem to feel anything unusual about it.

[That Dark Elven village…… I think they call themselves the Shanathyris? What’s the matter with that Demi-Human village?]

(T/N: シャナティリス / Shanatirisu)

[The Shanathyris are a tribe that I had a history with in the past…… I was planning on taking revenge on them one day. However, I suddenly heard that they were murdered. I’ve heard rumors…… that the people who killed them are apparently in Alion’s Thirteen Cavalries. Do you perhaps know anything about it?]

Thereupon, Mikhail fell silent.

For some reason, he somehow had this expression filled with regret.

[……I know about it.]

[If this is an uncomfortable topic for Mikhail-dono, I apologize.]

[No, it’s a request from the person who saved me from this predicament. Uncomfortable subject it may be, but I will tell you about it…… They’ve talked about it a few times in front of me.]

[They?]

[————The Sixth Cavalry. I’m certain that almost all of the people who were part of the extermination mission at that time are still here…… That group is a little different from the rest of the Thirteen Cavalries, including their captain, John Doe……]

[————Please don’t worry. I am indeed grateful to them for killing the Shanthyris, with whom I had history with. However, that doesn’t mean that they could earn my support.]

[R- Really?]

[Fufu, what are you talking about? They are just a bunch of hoodlums, but aren’t you a man with Alion’s noble blood flowing within your veins? I think it’s as clear as day as to which side is the wiser choice.]

[You’re quite wide, aren’t you?]

[I never thought you would be so stupid though.]

[…………………..Eh?]

(…………………..Eh?)

I reflexively reacted the same way as Mikhail.

Just now……

What did the Fly King just say?

Before I could even process what just happened, the Fly King snorted again.

Thereupon, his foot swept below Mikhail’s feet and sent the dumbfounded Mikhail tumbling.

Just one would expect, the fallen Mikhail’s eyes opened wide———–

[————– < Paralyze > ————–]

[ ! What——— are you……!?]

[I’ve got all the information I need. That’s why———]

The Fly King’s mood.

The tone of his voice.

All of it completely changed.

Stomping on the fallen Mikhail————- The Fly King ruthlessly spoke.

[I have no more use for you.]
