I Raise a Skeleton Episode 244
suicide (1)
“……master.”
The expression on the face of the muttering voice seemed somewhat relieved.
“I see, that’s what it was? I just realized it after seeing the owner’s movements.”
Mujin.
Did you gain some insight after seeing my new secret?
That was highly probable.
The relationship between Mugak and I is that of a summoner and his master.
Because our thoughts and feelings are connected to some extent.
“It’s called Manryuguijong. Yes, master. All streams eventually end up in the ocean and become one. Why didn’t I know that until now, and why did I insist on just using my fists?”
The foot of the blind man kicked the arm of the apostle.
Towards the abdomen of the bewildered apostle.
Phew!
Moogak stuck his fist in.
– Khuu…!
The fist shocked the apostle greatly.
Moogak did not miss the apostle’s shaking and trembling body.
Kwaaang!
He kicked me in the face.
Kwaaang!
He hit his jaw with his fist.
– Ugh!
The apostle screamed and retreated.
It doesn’t seem to be recovering well, and judging by the pain it feels, it looks like the attack is working.
“… … In the end, whether it was fists or feet, the Master taught the same method.”
Moogak looked at me.
Those black eyes were filled with gratitude and relief.
“Thank you, Master. For showing me that skill.”
That was the moment.
[congratulations!]
[Clear the ‘Stage: Kwon Gak Daerip’!]
Huh?
My pupils dilated.
already?
“What good will it do to receive recognition from the gods? I’ve already defeated those who have received recognition from the gods with my two fists and two feet.”
Quagaga River!
Once again, a series of attacks without a horn unfolded.
With a different momentum than before, the gray monsters flinched and retreated.
– Krug, strong.
– Is it really silent?
Mugak was originally someone who had been recognized for his dedication.
That too, 100 years ago, in the first generation.
He practiced cultivation for 100 years.
Also, he uses his fists, not just his feet.
In other words, if you look at his skills alone, he is a senior among the apostles!
“good.”
I smiled brightly.
I wanted a picture like this from the beginning.
Use the apostles for training.
A picture of the mulberries being picked and eaten and finished frugally.
“Let’s try to control it together.”
Taat!
I kicked the ground and ran.
My martial arts advancement and Mugak’s martial arts advancement.
Now finish the dungeon and go out.
It’s time to re-evaluate the situation on Earth.
[Caution! Caution! Caution!]
A bright red message filled my vision.
“hmm?”
I paused and turned my head.
To be precise, before I stopped, I felt the presence of some alien being.
It feels like there is something about the being that is of a different ‘class’ from me.
The moment you turn your gaze in the direction where you feel that feeling.
“… … .”
I had to experience the experience of my whole body stiffening.
‘That’s.’
It was a man.

A man sitting on a cloud, holding a gourd, as if he were a god.
He looks strong just by looking at his abs and muscular arms revealed through his training uniform.
‘The atmosphere itself is just different.’
okay.
At least when I saw the gray monsters called Apostles, I felt like I had the will to fight them.
But what is this existence?
It felt like I had no idea what to do even though it was right in front of me.
“……crazy.”
It’s like the feeling of helplessness you feel when you first encounter a dragon.
My teeth chattered and my muscles trembled.
Are you scared?
No it wasn’t.
just.
It was an instinct of the human species.
The wonder of seeing a higher being.
[A throwing god (SSS-class) appears.]
“… … throw yourself into it.”
My stiff body wouldn’t move.
Even the gray monsters that were emitting fighting spirit stopped moving.
With his mouth tightly shut, he stared blankly at the being.
[First encounter with the body of the ‘constellation’.]
[Achieve great achievements.]
just.
A being that can achieve achievements just by looking at it.
[The reward has arrived!]
[Stamina increases by 1,000!]
I didn’t even see any compensation.
What good is compensation when there is something in front of me that can turn me to dust at any moment?
It was a time when I forced myself to keep my eyes still and stare at its existence, even though they were naturally about to roll down.
“So you are the being that the ancient magic spoke of?”
The monk opened his mouth with an arrogant look.
“Is it a fragment of an old god or something?”
The gaze of the devotee reached the body.
That alone made my heart sink and every hair on my skin stand on end.
“but.”
He smiled faintly.
“I don’t care about that. You have the power to defeat my apostles… … How is it?”
Swish.
The man who had been speaking brought the bottle to his lips.
Boom, boom!
The liquid inside went in through the throat.
At that moment, the scent of alcohol hit my nose.
“Will you be my apostle?”
apostle?
Does that mean that I too have been recognized for my dedication?
‘Hmm.’
Even when I was grinding my teeth.
On one side of my vision, messages were constantly uploading.
[The essence of fire furrows its brow as if it is annoyed.]
[Ancient magic, that damned bastard must have been talking nonsense.]
[The essence of wood nods.]
[The only constellation that remembers our existence is the Akashic Records… … .]
[They say that the essence of water is better. After all, life is like that of an insect. If I can at least become a scrubber for the constellations, wouldn’t that be a success?]
[The essence of fire is asking to close its mouth.]
[The essence of wood tells you to calm down.]
[The essence of wood tells you to choose quickly.]
[They say that if we delay any longer, the contract and everything else could be in jeopardy.]
[The essence of gold is said to be okay because there are countless potential contractors spread throughout the universe.]
‘contract?’
I frowned.
What does that mean?
[The essence of fire is troubled.]
[He nods as if he has no choice.]
[The essence of fire agrees.]
[The essence of water laughs.]
[The essence of wood is then said to be a 2:2 ratio.]
[The essence of wood looks at you.]
Swaaaat!
At that moment, the strong alcohol smell disappeared, and a refreshing forest scent took over the space.
The feeling of phytoncide calming down a trembling body and calming down a tense mind and body.
“Phew.”
Thanks to that, I was able to take a breather.
[The vote is a tie. The essence of Wood says the choice is yours.]
The choice is.
My share?
[The essence of fire smiles.]
at the same time.
The will of the essence of fire entered my mind.
– Even if you die and wake up, you still can’t defeat that constellation.
– According to our principles.
– It’s your choice whether to help you or not.
– Choose.
– Will you get help or not?
There was warm and gentle affection in that will.
– step.
– You have to be prepared if you need help.
– As we experienced last time, it can be extremely painful.
– Also, it can break the spirit.
‘Jin-gi… … Ramen?’
Innate energy.
Are you talking about the life force that everyone is born with?
– Your ‘level’ is far lower than ours.
– It’s not low, it’s not even at the level of dust, as the water says.
– If you receive our energy, you may easily disappear or become a useless person.
And yet.
Expecting something from me.
Is there even a slight chance that I can be of help to them?
– So choose carefully.
select.
“Hmm.”
The situation is dire though.
You can’t call it Baesujin again.
Do you feel like there is a way to survive even in water that is turning your back on you?
“Why aren’t you answering?”
The demon in front of me opened his mouth again.
“Aren’t you asking me if I will be your apostle?”
If you just become an apostle of suicide, it’s over, right?
According to the words of the sage, there is no need for the apostle to remain in this world.
‘but.’
I asked.
“Your Majesty.”
“Okay.”
The man nodded.
“If I become your apostle, will I also turn into one of those gray monsters?”
“……hmm?”
As if he had not expected it, Tushin muttered.
“… … What a strange guy. A guy who’s interested in things other than fighting.”
ah.
but.
There’s no way those brawlers would have turned down an apostle just because of his appearance.
Even if it was just a temporary measure, the ultimate goal was to gain recognition for his dedication.
within.
Tushin nodded.
“Of course. You will be given a body that is optimized for combat. With that body, you can even walk through space, and it will boast performance that is on a whole other level than your frail body.”
iced coffee.
They say that the moment you become an apostle, the form of your soul changes.
As a disgusting gray monster.
Then it’s decided.
“I don’t like it.”
“… … What?”
The boy asked back as if he had misheard.
“I don’t want to. I’d rather die than become a monster. Of course, I’m human. I want to maintain my dignity as a human being.”
at the same time.
I nodded.
A gesture asking for help from the essence of fire.
[The essence of fire accepts your choice.]
[The essence of wood accepts your choice.]
I am.
I just chose to fight the demon.
* * *
“Ugh.”
Underground lair.
A woman was sitting with her legs crossed in a luxurious chair that did not match the background.
Her name is Caliphena.
A high ranker ranked 12th in the world, she is called the Goddess of the Sea (Doris).
“What do I gain by striking a new world?”
Srp!
She asked, elegantly pouring the wine.
“Even though the guild leader there is missing, he’s still on the world ranking board. Also, that’s where Sophia, the magic tower master, took a picture of. You want me to hit that kind of place? Well, the Berserker and the Lightning. Those kinds of people are my food.”
The question is sharp, though respectful.
Nick Jakan, across from him, felt the cold chill in that voice.
but.
If you were going to back down at this point, you wouldn’t have even asked around and come into the underground den.
“That’s why it’s more attractive.”
“… … Huh?”
She kept rolling the wine glass in her hand.
There was no response, as if telling me to continue explaining.
Jakan continued speaking.
“Aren’t you curious, Caliph? Why was Ju Dong-hoon able to grow so quickly in such a short period of time? And why are so many rankers, including Matapju and Delilah, following him?”
Jakan continued to pique her curiosity.
“I think the answer lies in the stars.”
“What about the evidence?”
“doesn’t exist.”
Jakan said confidently.
“However, the evidence is sufficient. If you look at the records here, there is a flyer that says that Matapju brings books from the library to Byeolcheonji every week. Why would she, a hyper ranker, go to such lengths to do something like that?”
“Hmm.”
“Besides, isn’t it ‘coincidence’ that it’s worth moving with just a 10% probability? Also, apart from that, there are many side items in Byeolcheonji. It’s said that the workshop business is going well and there’s a lot of money.”
“That’s true.”
Caliphena does not discriminate between guilds.
Of course, the big three like Cheonmasingyo, Magic Tower, and Demon King’s Army cannot be touched.
Whether it’s a new or prestigious school, once I pick one, I get to work like a knife.
He is truly the villain of villains.
“I’m curious about the reason, right? How did he go from being in the top 1,000 to becoming a high ranker? It’s also suspicious that Sophia and Delilah are protecting him.”
Srp.
Caliphena licked her lips with her tongue.
“Well, I haven’t really had anything to do lately. But I’m starting to get interested.”
Shh.
She laughed.
‘It’s a whole new world.’
Money, chance.
Besides, there is no guild master now.
Countless methods came to mind in her wicked mind.
for example.
“There are also capable guild leaders, right?”
“iced coffee?”
Jakan raised his head.
“no way……?”
Then he muttered as if he was amazed.
“Hostage kidnapping?”
The status of Jinah Kim, the guild master who created a whole new world, is famous.
Especially when it comes to external affairs, it is Kim Jin-ah, not Joo Dong-hoon, who takes charge of everything.
The person who is famous for being almost at the ranker level is Kim Jin-ah.
What if we take Kim Jin-ah hostage?
“Haha, you’re really quick-witted.”
Toouk.
Caliphena put down her wine glass.
“The original task was to create an escape route. Shouldn’t we consider when Joo Dong-hoon returns or when Ma-top intervenes? Besides, would Gi-yeon come out and dominate the world without Joo Dong-hoon? It would be better to catch someone capable and negotiate.”
“… … Indeed, I learned a thing or two.”
“Well, if your Gilma has a mean personality, it might not work, but I’m the type to pay even if I can’t eat it. Hehe.”
Caliphena, leaning on the table, smiled captivatingly.
Then he gestured elegantly.
“Can we talk about it in more detail? If you like it, I can promise you something like a congo.”
“Welcome.”
A full-scale secret meeting began in the underground den.
