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

I could really depend on your vast amount of knowledge.]

Putting her hands over her chest, Seras long eyelashes lowered.

[I’m very honored that you’re counting on me.]

[I will keep on counting on you.]

[Yes.]

Now then… An organ that absorbs magic energy huh.

Immediately after hatching, the size of the foal increased.

Did the foal absorb the magic energy around the area and became bigger?

Before its egg hatched, it was at a size that would fit in that egg.

And after it hatched, it absorbed the surrounding magic energy and grew larger.

[………………]

Based on the above information, there’s one thing I want to try out.

[Aside from Pigimaru, could all of you step away from me and this guy? And Eve, please watch out for the surroundings.]

Upon hearing my instructions, Eve asked a question.

[What are you going to do, Touka?]

[I’m going to pour magic energy into this guy.]

Eve looks confused.

[Your magic energy?]

I told them about my hypothesis.

[Fumu… A monster that changed after absorbing magic element huh.
Certainly, that could explain why its body suddenly grew right after it was born.]

I placed my hands on the half-orb.

Turning around, the foal looked up towards me.

[Pakyunn?]

[Do you dislike it?]

[Pakkyyyuuunnn♪]

It doesn’t look like a reaction of denial or hate.

On the contrary, it looks like an affirmation.

I wonder if it’s because I have always liked animals…

Or because of my experience back in the Disposal Ruins…

Perhaps, both of them were the reason…

I feel like I somehow understood the intentions of this monster.

[Status Open.]

I displayed my remaining MP.

This status display is useful to grasp the amount of MP I’ve injected.

[Now then.]

Within a certain amount of MP, I wonder what would happen.

Injecting magic energy— start.

The orb began steadily absorbing my magic energy.

The color of the orb then started changing to black.

The gem in my leather bag.

The gem on the door in the Disposal Ruins.

It seems to be almost the same principle as those two.

The color began filling up the orb just like a gauge.

And then, the orb completely turned black.

[Pakkyyyyuuuuuuu!]

Is it better to call it a dark light?

Darkness gushed out and wrapped around the foal.

The silhouette of its body began changing.

I could hear Eve mutter.

[That is—]

[Bururururururu…….]

A black horse.

Its appearance had turned into a typical “horse” that I had imagined.

The mascot-like loveliness it had before has diminished.

I think its physique is about the same as the horse we used to arrive in front of the Demon Zone.

For some reason, its neigh sounds imposing.

Well, it still had its cute round eyes though.

[Pinyyuuu~]

Pigimaru looked astonished and interested at the changes of its body.

[Horsey-chan, amazing…]

Liz also had the same reaction.

Seras has her hand on her small chin and is looking at the foal with interest.

[I see, so that’s what it turned to…]

A horse huh…

With the way it looks now, I may be able to leave my luggage to it.

However, as expected, I still had some concerns.

Would it be frightened after we encountered a monster in the Demon Zone?

We need to make this clear first.

I took a glance at my status display.

[It needs 1000 MP to transform huh.]

I held out my hand towards the cheek of the black horse.

[Pakkyyyuuuu~♪]

The black horse rubbed its cheek on my hand.

Good.

It seems that it still properly recognizes “me”.

It still had its consciousness even when it transformed.

It hasn’t lost its sanity.

It also doesn’t seem to be bewildered with its transformation.

[Bururururururu~]

[Hmm?]

Is it trying to appeal towards me?

…Its back?

Ah— Is it appealing for its orb?

However, it’s already fully dyed black.

[….Wait.
Perhaps, you mean—]

[Paakkyyyuuunnn~]

The black horse pose looks like it’s bending down.

Perhaps, this is—

It lowered its height to make it easier.

[In short—-]

I ask the black horse for confirmation.

[You want me to pour some more magic energy to you?]

[Pakyurrriii.]

The black horse deeply nodded— or so how it looks to me.

Did it understand my words just now?

[….Alright.]

For the time being…

If this guy still has some kind of hidden power, I want to check it while we still could afford to do it.

Depending on the result, the strength of our group may increase.

Well, I can’t disregard the possibility that it just liked the feeling of being injected with magic energy and that’s why it appealed to me…

I placed my hand over the orb again.

[I’m starting.]

I began injecting my magic energy.

I feel like the color of the orb began changing again.

A faint red spider web began to appear on the surface of the orb.

The pattern of the red light kind of resembles the artery.

[….It still needs some more huh.]

I checked my status.

My MP is steadily decreasing.

The MP consumption of the transformation earlier was 1000.

However, I’ve already poured around 5000 MP this time.

I still haven’t seen any changes on the black horse.

As expected, I would like to avoid the situation where I would need to use half of my MP…

[——————-]

Just when I’ve poured 10000 MP, a change finally appeared.

Just like a deep crimson lightning…

The black horse suddenly raises its body and a red lightning struck and the surroundings burst out.

In the next moment—

The body of the black horse was wrapped around by a red and black light.

The two different colors of lights began converging…

[Barururururururu….
Bururururururururu…]

The light began dispersing and its appearance finally appeared.

Its loveliness has completely disappeared.

A red-eyed black horse with a large body appeared in front of me.

Its body had become larger than its previous size.

It had two demonic horns on its head now that wouldn’t normally exist on a horse.

Its blood vessels were vigorously popping out of its tough body.

I couldn’t see the appearance of a foal that had just been born.

Its jet-black mane swayed with the wind.

The thing that caught my eyes the most is certainly its legs that were treading on the ground.

It has 8 strong legs.

It’s an eight-legged black horse.

The black horse has sharp, piercing eyes.

However, I could certainly see reason within them.

It hasn’t turned mad.

Rather, it could be said that there’s a light dwelling in its eyes as it stared at me as his “lord”.

There was loyalty shrouded on those eyes.

Magical Beast.

A divine majesty.

An ominous majesty.

[Ah, I see.]

I understood now why I strangely find it quite fitting for us.

Its color kind of resembles a fly.

[So that’s why…]

My mouth—-

[So, this is your true form huh.
This guy is—]

—couldn’t help but distort from the joy I’m feeling.

[I never expected that an amusing comrade would join us somewhere I never expected.]
