I Raise a Skeleton Episode 112
Is it pride or arrogance?
“Hahaha!”
From far away.
The laughter of the thunderous Flora spread like an echo.
“You little punk! No matter how much you fly and crawl!”
Pazuzex!
Electricity splashed everywhere.
Under the ground, behind the trees.
Some of them fell like lightning from the sky.
“All you’ll find is my afterimage! And know this! Unless you see me with your own eyes, there are no special privileges!”
“… … .”
I frowned.
Flora, that guy.
Now he’s openly showing off his presence.
Is it okay for a judge to be like this?
“Ugh!”
I groaned and kicked my feet.
I didn’t have the luxury of harboring complaints.
Because Flora’s attack was stronger than expected.
When I touched the spot where the electricity had passed, I felt a high fever that made my face flush.
Kkwadduk!
I felt like if I made even a slight misstep, it would be my body that split, not the rock.
“her.”
Phagec!
“Ugh.”
Woozikkun!
Every time I ran, the rocks and trees next to me would fall down and sway limply.
Debris from the sandy ground flew in all directions.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The entire area was shaking as if it was collapsing.
Dust filled all directions.
‘But one thing is certain.’
My eyes flashed.
Despite this powerful attack.
Even though it is an attack carried out by a double-digit ranker.
The reason I can endure.
‘Floah, that guy.’
It was clear he wasn’t attacking me.
Just beating around the surroundings as if it were something that should never be touched.
There was absolutely no direct impact on me.
“That damn thing… … It looks like your odds of winning will go up.”
The old man who was following along muttered.
I chuckled.
‘I feel that way too. After all, physiognomy is a science.’
“Physiognomy?”
The old man tilted his head.
I nodded.
“Yes, you remember what he looks like, right? First of all, he has a really high nose. Do you know that? People with high noses really hate being ignored.”
“What are you talking about? You little punk… … Have you learned physiognomy?”
“Also, your eyebrows are really raised high, right? Your mouth is twisted in a foul way. I’ve heard that people have really hated having that kind of face since long ago.”
“Kk, kk, are you like me?”
The old man chuckled teasingly.
‘hmm.’
Was that what my physiognomy was like?
I don’t think so.
Well, one thing is for sure.
I also hate losing more than dying.
Flora and Nana’s personalities can be seen as similar.
And that’s it.
‘It’s the same for you, sir. You have some pride, don’t you?’
“Kekeke, what, you or me. Isn’t there a saying that goes, ‘the teacher passes it on to the disciple’?”
‘… … Wasn’t it a story of father passing it down to son?’
“Anyway, you punk. The pride of the strong is something that should be used, and it should not be compared to the arrogance of the weak.”
‘Then what is he doing now?’
“Of course it’s pride.”
‘I see, right?’
The old man and I made eye contact.

We looked at each other and smiled.
“You are the one who creates the results. Look at that idiot. If only he could run away. Can’t you see the answer just by looking at him falling for your provocation and acting like that? No matter how strong he is, he is still idiot. Hehe, don’t you know that too? I am incredibly good at seeing a person.”
‘That’s right. So back then, you chose me after seeing our bones, right?’
Paz!
Right now, at this moment.
I was constantly fidgeting with my feet.
The field of vision was already a mess of dust and dirt.
It is not easy to discover the shape of the floor.
‘hmm.’
What should I do?
“How much time has passed? It would be time to react by now.”
The old man turned his wrist and asked.
‘It hasn’t been that long. But.’
“Are you going slowly? Click click.”
‘Yes, as the old man said, we should start to tighten our breathing now.’
Wiggle!
The poison hidden in my stomach twitched.
A few minutes ago.
Thankfully, the guy gave me and the old man some of the poisons we wanted.
okay.
You shouldn’t think that you can live in a cozy house for free.
this.
I’ll give you one month’s rent.
* * *
‘what?’
Flora, who had been attacking closely, frowned.
If it were the same as before, Joo Dong-hoon would have panicked and stopped advancing.
‘You keep sticking to me?’
indeed.
Are the ranker candidates different from the start?
How can you charge forward after seeing such a powerful attack?
“… … .”
But he’s just a cotyledon.
It was just a sapling that hadn’t grown properly yet.
Besides, are you really an average ranker?
He is ranked 84th in the world.
One of the strongest people in the world who receives VVIP treatment wherever they go.
The odds of losing a fight with him would be close to 0%.
‘The problem is.’
The point is that this isn’t a fight where we risk our lives.
Although he himself cannot hit Joo Dong-hoon directly.
He can strike me at any time.
No, you don’t have to hit it.
It would be a fight you can win if you just ‘discover’ it with your own two eyes.
“really…….”
It was funny.
Even if there is a penalty, it is like that.
How can a contestant like me become a ‘game’ with a double-digit ranker like me!
“Ahaha!”
It was so funny that I couldn’t help but smile.
How long has it been since I’ve felt this excited?
“Hey, what the hell are you doing?!”
Flora used radio waves to broadcast her voice.
By shouting in this way, one could communicate without revealing one’s location.
“Where on earth did you come from? Do you have a teacher?”
Questions I asked because I was so curious.
“You can answer right there. No matter what you say, my hearing transcends space.”
“What kind of person am I?”
Joo Dong-hoon responded to this indifferently.
“He’s the one who’ll catch you soon and get special privileges. Why.”
“Hahahahaha!”
Flora burst into laughter.
What hunter in the world would treat you like this?
She secretly liked the spirit of the man in front of her.
No, I didn’t like it; I just found it a little strange.
He’s the type of person I’ve never seen before in my life.
“You? You’re going to catch me?”
She had a sour look on her lips.
It was a feeling of bewilderment mixed with a trace of interest.
“Yeah? Try it. If you can find me when I treat you with sincerity, then you are my brother.”
“Brother?”
“Yeah, new. But don’t worry about that. That won’t happen.”
It was certainly a meaningless promise to her.
Because I don’t think even 1% that I will lose to the contestant.
however.
The cocky man goes even further.
“I don’t want to hear the word ‘older brother’ from a foolish kid like you… …? How about slave bread instead?”
“what?”
Flora asked back with a hollow laugh.
What is that saying now?
“Slave bread?”
“Yes, it’s literally slave bread. The loser has to bow down and put his head down. He has to do everything he’s told to do. How is it? Surely the 84th ranked player isn’t scared? Well, if you don’t like it, you can stop.”
“Hey hey hey. Are you crazy, really?”
Flora put her hands on her waist as if she was dumbfounded.
“f*ck, no matter how much I hear people say I’m thoughtless. My worth and your worth are on a completely different level. Why would you make such a ridiculous bet? It doesn’t make sense!”
“why.”
The man snickered.
“Weren’t you confident in your ability anyway? Besides, if you investigate, I’ll probably be worth my money, too?”
“you?”
Flora tilted her head.
Well, assuming that he becomes a single-digit ranker in the future, it’s a huge price tag.
That was back then.
Not now.
A single-digit ranker isn’t even the name of someone’s dog.
“Oh. I have a lot of money. I can make S-class items. If you’ve eaten Hunter’s food, you must have heard about the recent Dmir workshop, right?”
“… …Dmir Workshop?”
Dmir? Dmir… … .
I’ve heard that name a lot… … .
What was it?
“ah?”
Flora’s pupils dilated.
“If you’re talking about Dmir, are you talking about the workshop that makes S-class weapons? The one that’s a hot topic in South Korea these days?”
The value of an S-class weapon is enormous.
That is why the Dmir Siege incident spread all over the world.
She, too, had heard of it, as she was a top ranker and was very interested in weapons.
The light warrior received a weapon from you.
“Huh, it seems like the owner of that Demir workshop was a necromancer… … Could that be?”
“Yeah, that’s me.”
“Hoo.”
Flora’s round eyes blinked rapidly.
A reaction that would seem extremely innocent to someone who doesn’t know.
“That would be fun.”
Something was a good guess.
First of all, the chances of you losing are almost zero.
Then you get money and items for free.
‘Besides, I can keep asking for my own exclusive items to be made, right?’
This is totally awesome!
My head was spinning quickly.
And the decision was made in a short period of time.
“okay!”
She nodded.
“Come on! I’ll show you, the arrogant one, that the world is vast… … Hmm?”
Sniff sniff!
That was when.
A strange smell caught Flora’s nose.
An extremely vile and horrible scent.
“Huh? What the hell?”
Within moments, Flora froze with her eyes wide open.
“poison?”
It wasn’t just poison either.
The feeling of a super-strong neurotoxin, with dozens of level 1 toxins coming in, complementing each other.
‘Since when?’
The distance between himself and Joo Dong-hoon is at least 500m.
However, if it is this much poison, you must detoxify at least 5 minutes beforehand…
“Sir, really? This little punk!”
That guy.
Was this the reason why I had been dragging my feet with wordplay until now?
The man chuckled at Flora’s reaction.
“You clearly said okay? There’s no way a ranker like you would break a promise without any remorse. You trust me and catch him?”
That moment.
Joo Dong-hoon’s new model is starting to approach at an explosive speed.
“under.”
Flora let out a hollow laugh.
I was dumbfounded.
It’s so absurd that I can’t even say anything.
Her lips parted in a bewildered expression.
“Was it a trap?”
“Can’t you say that I used my abilities rather than trying to trap you?”
“This dirty, deadly bastard.”
“Yeah, thanks for the compliment.”
“Shit.”
Flora quickly kicked the floor.
First, to widen the distance again as we get closer.
but.
‘My body is getting heavy.’
I felt myself becoming more and more numb.
Oh my gosh, how strong of a poison must it be for it to even affect a ranker like me?
What’s more, my vision was blurry.
‘Oh my god, you even solved the fantasy poison?’
What was originally one road appears as two.
The sky appears to change into the earth and the earth appears to change into the sky.
I felt suffocated and my stomach was churning.
Break! Break!
She continued to run the current through her body.
The process of burning the poisons that have penetrated inside and remain in the surroundings.
Her eyes sank into a serious look.
‘Poison is poison.’
That’s it.
A position that one must never lose to a contestant.
‘I was just a little flustered, I’m not the type of person to get caught up in something as simple as poison.’
That was the pride of the ranker Flora.
