How to Raise Your Skeletons Chapter 306

I Raise a Skeleton Episode 306

Star Wars (5)

“That guy. His eyes are quite distinctive.”

Those were the first words spoken by the old man who had been watching the match from behind with his arms crossed.

“It feels like I’m seeing you for the first time.”

Hmm, is that so?

I tilted my head and looked at the elder in front of me, Canard.

‘What a poisonous look in your eyes.’

Even though he was hit once and his body was a mess, his eyes were still alive.

Does that mean his eyes are shining brightly, like those of an absolute master of martial arts?

‘but.’

It was quite a lot.

If I were a normal person, I would have surrendered after getting hit once, but they didn’t let me off easy and asked me to come back and do it properly again.

“It’s like you’re rushing in even though you know you’re no match for them. It’s not a bad thing for that kid. He’s met an opponent who can break down the wall he was blocking, and it’s not like he’s risking his life. He’s more than happy to do it.”

I am a coincidence.

So then, what should we do with this?

Should I help or ignore it?

Hmm.

“Didn’t you tell me not to look at it?”

I asked Kennard back.

He nodded slowly, his hand gripping the cane tightly.

With eyes filled with refined venom.

‘okay.’

I nodded my head as well.

Okay, let me help you.

Because we are allies of Matap, and I also receive a lot of help from Sophia.

Moreover, if you don’t just let it go and beat me, then I’m fine with it.

It’s easy too.

Also, as the leader of a special event, shouldn’t we provide a spectacular spectacle for the spectators who come to watch the game?

“Huh, you’re a guy who fights with your own strength and tempo, and now you’re trying to act like a magic master?”

The old man behind me sneered as he read my thoughts, but I shook my head slightly.

Why isn’t this my own strength?

Because it’s my item, it’s my power.

‘Actually, more than that.’

I liked the canard itself.

Eyes similar to mine.

A completely different attitude from the elders before him.

People like this are sure to succeed in whatever they do.

‘If you’re ranked 13th in the world, you could say you’ve already succeeded.’

I know.

How many dangerous and terrible things lurk outside of this universe?

When I think of those countless beings, I cannot settle for reality.

I need to work harder, try harder, and become stronger.

Because the Earth is a well and we are still just frogs.

Do you know?

As Delilah fears, is there really such a ridiculous danger coming to Earth?

Even if you just look at Jisoo Ryong, wasn’t it a huge disaster?

That’s why I really wanted to cheer on Canard’s growth.

It was for the sake of a cause, but it was also my personal feeling.

When I was weak.

Just as the prosecution rate helped, just as Seoul Oseong showed its favor.

Shouldn’t I also take a stab at a promising seedling?

“Then I will go right away.”

Woohoo!

I pulled up my magic again.

* * *

‘iced coffee.’

The moment he sensed his opponent’s magical power, Cainard trembled.

‘What the heck… … .’

What is this person?

The entire flow of magic being cast is visible.

– Grow stem.

– Grow hold.

– Water night.

– Sand storm.

Two wood-based magic, one water-based magic, and one earth-based magic.

It was the most basic of the basic magic that all magicians of the Magic Tower could handle.

‘But.’

What is this vortex of tremendous magical power?

Are you really saying that that’s basic magic?

Crunch, crunch!

The stems growing from the ground began to coil like whips.

Not one.

There are more than 10 stems that are pulled out.

“Ugh!”

A terrified Cainard quickly put up his shield in front of him and dodged to the side.

I moved suddenly and felt the muscles in my whole body twist.

“Hmm?”

The other person tilted his head.

“You told me not to look after you, but you’re just going to avoid me? Grow Hold!”

“Hey, up!”

The magic of Grow Stem’s linkage unfolded.

The outstretched stems rushed forward all at once, trying to bind Canard.

‘This is.’

It must be burned with fire attribute magic.

That too, at intermediate level or higher.

‘but.’

Seeing the water already forming in front of me, gurgling, gurgling! I feel like all my motivation is disappearing.

‘crazy.’

Cainard bit his lip hard.

Is that a water bomb?

That?

Looking at the ball of water that appeared like a spirit ball above Joo Dong-hoon, I couldn’t come up with an answer.

If we continue like this, we will be dragged away like prisoners and will have no choice but to suffer without answers.

‘At this point… isn’t it a mismatch? It seems like I should be competing with the Lord of the Tower.’

Joo Dong-hoon listened to what he said really well.

There was no consideration at all.

He just waved his cane with an indifferent expression.

“The last one is Sand Storm.”

Quagagagagagaga!

Swirls of sand blow from all directions towards Cainard.

“Khaaaaat!”

I try to spread my shield with all my might, but it’s not enough.

The flying growl holds tightly bound my limbs.

My whole body was tied up tightly, and as if that weren’t enough, the water bomb that had been prepared came.

A compressed ball that will hurt terribly if hit.

In addition, the sand storm that had already reached his side was pounding his entire body.

‘iced coffee.’

Does this make sense?

I knew it was strong, so I tried again, but could it be this overwhelming?

“Keuh-uh-uh!”

I felt the force hitting my body, and all the muscles in my body felt like they were bursting.

Blood boiled inside me, and the tip of my nose was tinged with the pungent scent of blood.

Gulp.

Blood was leaking out from the corner of his mouth.

‘Something like this… … .’

magic?

To be honest, it was beautiful.

If one could perfect their magic through hundreds of millions or billions of years of training, it seemed as if magic like this would unfold.

‘What have I done so far?’

Cainard’s body trembled.

How hard have you been working?

When I woke up in the morning, I laid the foundation through magic, and at lunch, I read all the translated books without fail.

Before going to bed, I organized the books I had read in my head and actually tried to do them.

Repetition of routine.

There was no vacation or rest for Cainard.

His life as a hunter was soon magic, and magic was him.

‘But.’

Now I feel like that magic has been denied me.

I had a feeling that the magic I had been chasing was actually fake.

A sense of uneasiness.

That’s when the weight of negative emotions began to weigh him down.

“Healing.”

With Joo Dong-hoon’s whisper, the bonds were released.

Pure energy healed his torn muscles and quelled his twisted, rampaging magic.

“Keuhuuk.”

Only then did my choked breathing begin to ease.

I could breathe and feel alive.

“What is it?”

He asked.

“… … .”

“Where did the spirit you had when you told me not to look after you go? Did you lose your will over a mere basic spell?”

He was grumbling.

But, I have nothing to say.

I’d like to ask if that’s some kind of basic magic, but I can’t.

Because it’s really basic magic.

“Ugh, if that’s the case, then why did you ask to meet again… … .”

Helpless.

I feel like I’m worthless, unable to respond to those mutterings.

“Kaynard.”

He says.

With a look of disappointment.

“If you want to become stronger, you have to take the opportunity when you encounter something stronger. Too bad. I thought you knew that… … .”

“… … .”

It was strange.

These are the words of someone much younger than me.

This is my first time mixing hands.

He’s like a teacher.

‘Why is that?’

His words, one by one, feel like sharp spears piercing my heart.

“You must have tried. I know. I can feel how hard you tried. Because I did too.”

“… … .”

“But you know, there are many strong people in the world. There are literally countless of them. But are you going to give up every time you meet one of those people? Are you going to get caught up in those depressing feelings?”

Trembling.

My body was shaking.

Even if you recover through healing, there is nothing you can do about the aftereffects.

The muscles that are already startled are not listening.

but.

Cainard lifted his cane with difficulty.

Somehow I felt like it had to be that way.

‘If I give up here… … .’

You’re blocked by a huge wall, and you can’t break through it anymore.

The gap between you and him will only widen further.

Eventually, it will become so far away that you won’t even dare to touch it.

Also, the current defeat will become a kind of trauma, and it will hinder his growth. He will suppress it.

“Absolutely not! Haaaap!”

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Once again, a flame rose from the Elder’s staff.

Fire Blaster (S-Class).

The boiling flames shot at Joo Dong-hoon like a gun.

It was a much faster and more powerful magic than anything the Elder had ever tried to use before.

one.

“It’s urgent.”

He, who doesn’t even move a muscle, cools down the fire with a water bomb.

At the same time.

Whoosh whoosh!

A fireball unlike the previously used fireballs is created and rushes forward.

Kwaaaaaaaang!

Once again the stadium erupted in explosions.

– What, what is this… …! Am I really seeing this correctly? Isn’t this like… … . a teacher educating a student?

The caster was embarrassed.

– This, this doesn’t seem to be a match for me.

– When I saw it, the match was already over. This is not a match. Shouldn’t the match be about a certain level? Look at Joo Dong-hoon. But, he didn’t allow even one hit.

– The problem is that the opponent is an elder. He is the second best magician in the world.

– … … It’s amazing. Yes, I feel like I’m dreaming right now.

The commentators also kept sticking out their tongues at the absurd situation.

The problem is.

The fact that the game continues even though the winner has been decided.

“Huh?! The Elder has risen!”

“But why do you persist so persistently?”

“Aren’t you going to die like that?”

Buzzing.

Suddenly, the cheering died down and a commotion began.

I don’t understand.

The way they act.

But some of the rankers watching clearly had shining eyes.

The elder’s hazy eyes.

I know when I look into those eyes.

‘A state of no self.’

The highest level of concentration… where your mind is completely focused on something and you forget what you are doing.

Isn’t this the best chance that a ranker can experience at least once?

If you get into that state, you’ll get something.

Whether it’s growing, leveling up, or going up in rank.

‘iced coffee.’

‘Joo Dong-hoon, is he an angel?’

‘There is no other great person like him. He watches over and helps the growth of his duel opponent whom he has ignored until now? How great must one be to do that?’

‘From now on, I truly respect that person.’

The rankers looked moved.

I empathized with the elder’s situation.

When that kind of situation arises, it’s rare to find someone who can guide you through it with ease.

‘The elder probably thinks of Joo Dong-hoon as his lifelong benefactor.’

‘If it were me, I would quit the rooftop and go to Byeolcheonji.’

Kwaaaaang! Kwaaaaang! Kwaaaaang!

This time there were three explosions in succession.

Once again the elder knelt down.

“… … .”

The audience was speechless.

It was shocking at first, but it’s not surprising anymore.

“I think I know why… … Hyper Rankers are called gods.”

“That’s right, that’s exactly it. It’s like a human challenging God.”

“Elder… … Poor thing.”

These are the people who came to the stadium with those expensive tickets.

Since most people have a lot of knowledge, they know better than anyone else how great a person that elder is.

No, it’s a matter of knowledge and opinion.

Wasn’t he ranked 13th in the world?

The sight of Joo Dong-hoon just playing with the 13th place like a child is just… … .

It didn’t look human.

‘Yeah, that’s right.’

Cool!

Keenard, bleeding profusely, picked up his staff again.

I thought about it even in my subconscious.

‘That person is not human.’

That’s why.

This challenge must be meaningful.

‘What on earth is it?’

Ultimately, magic is about creating something in the present world through magical power.

And the magical power that people use has to be the same.

How can such magic come about?

Even in the situation where he was put in, Cainard continued to worry and worry again.

‘Why can’t my magic have that kind of power?’

Honestly, I don’t know.

But it doesn’t matter.

That’s not what’s important right now.

‘Don’t give up.’

The man who was ahead of him, that was the homework he gave him.

Don’t try to win with magic, just persevere.

Don’t be discouraged and keep challenging.

Kwaaang!

Even if my body breaks.

Kwaaaaang!

Even though it feels like terrible pain.

‘Just holding on.’

The audience watching, the people waiting in the stands, the casters, and the commentators.

Now I watched that sight with reverence.

Immersion.

What are the limits of human ability?

How long can humans endure?

But unfortunately, it cannot last forever.

That doesn’t make sense physically.

How much time has passed like that?

Kwaaaaaaaang!

The fireball that melted the shield struck Cainard’s front once again.

“… … !”

Kanard’s hazy eyes opened wide.

Finally, all the magic power in my heart was emptied.

As soon as the immersion was broken, I came to my senses.

“Take it, take it… … !”

Elder Cainard, who let out a painful scream, finally knelt down.

And then, as my consciousness gradually faded away, I looked urgently at the being in front of me, Joo Dong-hoon.

‘I am.’

Didn’t you disappoint him?

Did you complete the homework he gave you?

Fortunately.

There was an answer to that.

Because a deep smile was blooming on his lips as his vision faded away.

iced coffee.

thank god.

An inexplicable sense of relief washed over Cainard’s entire body.

I’m so glad.

Only then was the elder able to completely let go.

Swish!

Kanard lies quietly on the floor as if his body has lost all its strength.

Yes, that’s right.

It was a complete defeat for the elders.

“… … .”

“… … .”

But, even so, the public was left speechless for a while.

Who can mock the defeated Elder!

No hunter here would be able to withstand the Elder’s presence if brought before him.

The audience felt at that moment that the ticket price was worth it.

A true battle between rankers.

The Elder’s will once again impressed upon the rankers why they could be called rankers.

There’s a reason why it’s the 13th most powerful country among 8 billion people.

– This match is an overwhelming victory for the Skeleton Emperor, Joo Dong-hoon!

And so the third match came to an end.

Only then.

“Wow! This is the best!”

“Wowaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

An explosive cheer began to shake the entire paradise.
