[Keuaaaaaaahk!]
”Tch!”
It precisely aimed for Lee shi+n Woo with its sharp sword strike! It truly was a perfect surprise attack, but Lee shi+n Woo was faster, and avoided its attack He bent his head back and kicked upwards, causing the sword in the skeleton's grip to go flying!
[Keuhaaaaaaaahk!]
”This is”
The skeleton's sword flew directly up and lodged into the ceiling However, the skeleton seeed It seeh its mana was focused into its palm, and it attacked Lee shi+n Woo for a second tireen!
'It's acid, a poison made from mana It's at a similar level to the Great Slime's, and if that's the case!'
It was at that h his skill in mana analysis, which had noticeably increased due to his Mana Bone, he was able to grasp the structure of his enemy's skill, and at that very moment, the bone he had absorbed before the Acid Ghoul's Thumbnail awakened its potential!
[You have learned the active skill, Interic have increased by 15 Low Rank Acid Resistance has beco a intermediate skill All stats increase by 5]
”Huh!?”
Lee shi+n Woo was so astonished that he almost lost control of his h the Acid Ghoul's ability was indeed frightening, when he norht that they'd always be at a reduced level, so he couldn't help but be astonished
Could this also be due to Mana Bone? He was able to completely reproduce the special properties of the mana within the meoing to learn in the future started at a high level then hi that happened to him ever since he was dropped into the Ereen ertips softly wrapped around the skeleton's palht and retreated back, colliding with a desk Lee shi+n Woo saw a portion of the documents atop the desk melt away from the poison and freakily yelled out
”Hey, hey Calm down!”
[Acid Poison!? Who are you!]
Fortunately, the skeleton stopped when Lee shi+n Woo spoke No, perhaps it regained feeling after seeing hiardless His top priority was to calm it down if he wanted to preserve these precious docue
”I'm one of Gerrit's people”
Lee shi+n Woo slowly stepped back and lead hied, and answered hi by the time he realized that he needed to proceed delicately And he was able to say the lines most suitable for the situation!
[Gerrit?]
His hand paused its strike midair He had hit the mark!
[You're a subordinate of Doctor Gerrit Aterran? I don't recall seeing you before Are you part of the guard?]
”No, I'uard If I was, I would've died with you I came by his request”
[Did Doctor Aterran die T-That's natural I suppose]
The skeleton despaired, and dropped its head Seeing that, Lee shi+n Woo was actually surprised He had thought he needed to calm it down no matter what, but he didn't think that one line would calot a hold of itself, a e appeared in front of Lee shi+n Woo
[The Acting skill has become Lv5 Those who listen to your words will instinctually have a good impression of you]
[Your body is black, huh]
”It's because of the poison”
[Your poison's really strong Yeah, our tests were like that Now I remember a little bit]
At around that ti spirit It inspected Lee shi+n Woo and when it subsequently turned to look at its own body, which was likewise composed of only bones, it muttered miserably
[Our test ulti into undead In the end, that foolish Ereater disaster!]
Those words felt as though Lee shi+n Woo had just been hit by a straight punch It had clearly recognized that it was an undead, and was also aware of the passage of ti tests within the sewers? If that's true, then in the Empire!? Lee shi+n Woo did his best to conceal his astonishment no matter what, and replied to the skeleton
”However, you're better off than the guys outside Since the guys outside have lost their reason and are going wild”
[Is it a half success? Come in, comrade If I think about it, you, who knows the code for the Anti-Skull, can't be h I had also lost o Since all I did was despair alone from within here]
”Thanks”
Anti-Skull, huh It definitely had a connection with the skull pattern drawn on the door lock There was a sh chance that it stood for the organization of their group as well Lee shi+n Woo decided to remember that word
[Did youbased on General Seagald's orders?]
”No, I' based on Gerrit's request I need to collect all the research materials so that it can't be misused”
[Ah I see Those precious materials are spread about in this kind of place That's certainly an important task]
It was really easy to handle the skeleton Was it because it had just regained its reasoning, or was it due to itscompletely intact? If it's not that either, then was it due to his Acting skill? If he could handle him as he pleases, then it didn't matter
Lee shi+n Woo collected all the e of dozens of years The skeleton even helped him with his task In the end, he made this request
[There may be some of our comrades still out there Could you help search for theht Since I need to collect all thein his seat, and though he really wanted to inspect the materials, the current situation wouldn't allow him to However, the moment Lee shi+n Woo nodded at the skeleton's words, the htly shook
[A quest has occurred!]
[Those who uphold the spirit of a ruined nation]
[You have found traces of those who still resist in the Empire, and came in contact with them No one kno this attempt will turn out in the future But what's certain is that it will be an extreoal: Find and aid the Poison Skeleton's comrades]
[Quest reward: 1 permit for God's secret shop, and 1 Lv3 medicine]
'This does this mean that God is interested in this place too?'
