Chapter 3 (1/2)

The skeleton moved according to Sungwoo’s intuition. In other words, it did what he wanted by checking his preferences in advance even when he didn’t want to control it consciously. It was fighting a deadly fight with the two goblins on his behalf now.

Woof!

The skeleton pulled a dagger out of the goblins. It seemed that the attack was not fatal as if the dagger had missed the mark a bit.

Then the two goblins indiscriminately began to wield the swords at the skeleton that had been resurrected like them.

But their swords, originally designed to cut apart human flesh, didn’t seem to deal any damage to the skeleton.

It seemed that the skeleton’s durability was not that strong. Its right elbow was smashed by the goblins’ clumsy attack. Now with its left hand as the only weapon, the skeleton was on the defensive. Sungwoo began to feel nervous while watching the fight.

‘If I don’t go to its rescue, I have to face them again.’

When he confronted the goblin, he felt that it was not a formidable rival. Besides, the goblin’s build was as small as a child. But it would be tough for him to fight several goblins this time. So, he thought he had to preclude such possibilities.

‘I wish I had a good weapon…’

Turning his head, Sungwoo looked at Minsu. He was standing there awkwardly, gripping the sword with both hands. Sungwoo could not find any righteous spirit in him.

“Hey, give me the sword quickly! Right now!”

Minsu opened his eyes wide at his yelling. Then he hugged the sword he had stuck out.

“What? Why do you need it?” Minsu asked.

“Give it to me quickly! Let me kill them with it!”

But Minsu shook his head and said, “Nope, this is mine! I got this by selecting the card!”

What the heck? Sungwoo was dumbfounded to hear that. He was aware that Minsu was not sociable, but how could he claim such ridiculous ownership of the sword in this situation?

“Then, you go out and kill them yourself!”

“…Ugh?”

When he said that, Minsu’s face turned white.

‘You don’t want to, dickhead!’

Sungwoo didn’t force him to hand it over. He knew he would be in bigger trouble than now if he touched such a timid guy. Based on his experience as a retired sergeant, it was best to not touch someone acting like an advisor.

“That’s fine. Go and peel potatoes with that.”

“…What did you say?”

This time, Sungwoo also lifted the desk with a chair. At that moment, the skeleton, with its only functional left hand, stepped aside as if it had been waiting for his move.

‘Oh, you already know what I’m going to do?’

Sungwoo then threw the desk toward the goblins. They fell to the floor, struck by the heavy desk.

Seizing the chance, the skeleton sprang out at them and skillfully stabbed the sword in their necks and bellies.

Puk! Puk! Puk!

<You’ve earned ten gold by hunting a goblin!>

<You’ve earned ten gold by hunting a goblin!>

While a total of two messages came out, the skeleton killed the two goblins at the same time and the lecture hall turned into a sea of blood. When the fight was over, the one-armed skeleton waddled toward Sungwoo and looked up at him blankly just like a puppy thirsty for praise.

“…Well, I’m sorry, but I feel bad. Can you look somewhere else?”

Even though it was his ally, Sungwoo felt unpleasant when the skeleton poked its skull at him.

It bowed its head at his request.

‘I wonder if the skeleton was disappointed in me.’

As he could not read any feelings in its hollow eyes, Sungwoo checked its face, fearing that it could change its mind.

‘Ah, since it has no eyes, I can’t check its feelings anyway.’
