I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul 116

Episode 117:

Wait a minute.

It’s a derogatory expression for a bug being thrown away.

I think it’s a bit inappropriate for a bug to call someone else that way, even though he’s not the bug himself.

Aren’t you degrading your own species?

Besides, no matter who sees it, you are the bug.

Even from the name, it is already a chungwangryu.

Oh, is that really the case?

I heard that cats raised at home think that humans are cats, too. In that context, do all living creatures look like bugs in the eyes of a chrysanthemum?

Even so, why throw it away? I don’t know if it’s a bug.

Are you a bit foul-mouthed?

I don’t know. It’s my first time meeting this monster, so I don’t know what its personality is.

While I was confused, Chungwangryu stretched out his front leg towards Seo Jihan without any delay.

A leg with sharp thorn-like objects flew in as if it would crush Seo Ji-han’s head.

Seo Ji-han was not surprised and lightly grabbed the front leg.

With one hand.

Then he pulled it out and rammed it into the monster’s head.

The giant ant whose head was pierced died instantly.

“What is happening all of a sudden?”

Seo Ji-han muttered as if he had stomped on a passing ant to death.

I couldn’t believe what had just happened so I blinked, but I was calm as if I had done something natural.

No, what are you?

What on earth is this ridiculous fighting method?

Can we call this a battle?

I killed a monster three times my size with just my strength without a weapon?

“You don’t look like you have any intention of talking? “It’s a deliberate attack.”

Seo Ji-han, with his shoulders shrugged, calmly looked back at me.

Since he was attacked by a monster, it would be right to ask him, ‘Are you okay?’, but when I saw him standing with the instantly killed monster in the background, I couldn’t stop talking.

I took a long time to choose my words and then finally opened my mouth.

Maybe, just maybe.

“Maybe you wanted to shake hands?”

“I have to collect it. “That’s not really true.”

“But…”

“You heard what she said. I told her to throw it away. No matter how much I heard, it wasn’t with good intentions.”

Yes, I heard that too.

But I couldn’t say, ‘Okay, let’s give up everything and find a sauce to put on Jirgis’ horn.’ We can’t give up

so easily.

I don’t want to eat the horn. I don’t want to eat the horn.

There is still no hope for an alliance. I’m staying.

I want to believe that. I’m going to believe that.

It’s only my first attempt. It’s too early to give up after just one try.

After desperately trying to think positively, I came up with an agonizing theory.

“They told us to get rid of them and they were hostile towards us. “I can’t see it.”

“what?”

Seo Ji-han looked shocked, but still listened to me quietly.

“Is it an insult for a bug to call another living thing a bug?”

“hmm.”

He narrowed his eyes and tilted his head.

I thought he meant to continue listening, so I slowly began to say the following:

“I might have just called you normal. Don’t we often call other people ‘human’?”

“Don’t you usually call your opponent that before a fight?”

I was silent for a moment.

Seo Ji-han blinked quietly and apologized briefly.

“Sorry, please continue.”

“Maybe we misunderstood. Maybe we just called it normal. Maybe calling it Burreoji itself put it within the confines of its own kind?”

I tried desperately to have hope.

If I give up, that’s the end.

Seo Ji-han, who was looking at my efforts as if he was pitiful, nodded in a defeated manner.

“I guess so.”

“Right? Right! This was our first try. So let’s try one more time.”

“But no matter how you look at it, that angle is an attack… okay.”

Seo Ji-han, who was about to say something, looked at my almost crying face and closed his mouth.

Please, please, let’s try one more time.

Please. Please. Please. I’m desperate. Please help me. It wasn’t long ago that I barely ate all of the Vargis horn. “ Now

, let’s look for the next monster. Maybe the word ‘burrowing’ is a nickname or a word expressing friendliness, so let’s keep that in mind and try again!”

Seo Ji-han gazed sadly at me as I burned up my motivation.

I did my best to ignore his gaze.

“Here, take the communication lesson.”

I took out a Sotong Yugwa, cut it into three pieces, ate one, and handed the remaining two pieces to Seo Ji-han.

He accepted it with a shocked look on his face, but luckily he didn’t say anything.

“Let’s try a little more.”

Seo Ji-han, who received the Yugwa , said. I clenched his hand and made an earnest request, and he sighed lightly.

Then he pointed at the anthill on the other side.

“I think there’s another one coming. Let’s quickly root it and get rid of it. If that guy sees it, the conversation and everything will be no fun.”

That’s right.

Of course, this friend attacked us first, or rather asked for a handshake, so we surprised him and killed him, but my new friend might misunderstand when he sees this.

I hastily rooted the first friend (what was).

The shell of the Chrysanthemum ( Grade: E) Obtain x1

Chrysanthemum molar (Grade: E) x2 Obtain

Chrysanthemum leg (Grade: E) x6 Obtain

Chrysanthemum magic stone (Grade: E) x1

This friend’s grade is very low.

As expected, his grade is low . Otherwise, there is a high possibility that we won’t

be able to communicate. I hope that the new monster’s level is a little higher, though.

“This time, let’s really succeed and ask him to arrange a meeting so we can have a conversation with the boss. That friend from earlier had a very low level. “Maybe they were scared and attacked.”

“Didn’t you say shake hands?”

Seo Ji-han muttered something softly.

I pretended not to hear.

He sighed briefly again and opened his mouth.

“We’re almost there.”

Seo Ji-han held the communication tool tightly and stared in one direction.

And the monster that appeared was my It was enough to inflate expectations.

At a glance, it looked bigger and stronger than the E-class monster we had seen earlier. The

intense golden stripes surrounding its stomach were gorgeous.

A piece of Sotong Yugwa that Seo Ji-han had thrown into the new friend’s mouth fell into it.

“what.”

The monster flinched and opened its mouth in a puzzled tone.

That’s it! At least it was normal, without hostility.

I smiled brightly and stepped forward. The invisibility had long since been removed through rooting.

As this was my second chance, I was planning to step forward myself.

Good. Greetings prepared in advance. The time has come to use it.

Using the culture of these guys we learned earlier, we call them by their friendly title.

“Nice to meet you, Bureoji.”

Seo Ji-han, who was standing next to the monster, raised one hand and touched his forehead.

Hmm, wouldn’t it have been better to talk a little more energetically?

You bastard! Be my friend! Like this? “I

‘ll kill you…”

The monster poured out intense hostility towards me.

The monster suddenly became angry and raised its front paws and took a deadly stance.

He then offered me a quick handshake.

“this!”

Seo Ji-han, who was watching, quickly intervened and kicked the monster.

Its huge body flew straight into the wall.

But despite this, the monster’s compound eyes captured me tightly and followed me persistently.

“I will kill you!”

Thanks to the communication skills, the monster’s angry cries can be heard very clearly.

The guy rushed at me, not paying attention to Seo Ji-han attacking him.

He looked incredibly angry.

“It was an insult after all!”

“of course!”

When I cried out and cried, Seo Ji-han answered.

No, why do you use the word ‘get rid of bugs’ as an insult?

I really don’t understand.

At least it’s something like pesticides…

No, Chrysanthemums have nothing to do with pesticides.

We repeatedly asked the second friend to reconcile, but his aggressive attitude did not change.

In the end, the second friend also ended up in my inventory.

“Are you going to continue?”

I sighed at Seo Ji-han’s question. And then he shook his head briefly.

“Actually, I thought it wouldn’t work, but it really didn’t work out.”

His face brightened.

You finally figured it out! It’s an expression of desperately holding back what you want to shout.

But even if you don’t say anything, if your expression is that explicit, you can’t help but know, Mr. Seo Ji-han.

“Hmm, that’s right. “It’s difficult. I’ve been fighting a life-or-death fight with humans.”

“Yes. I didn’t want to give up without even trying. “It would be good to reduce unnecessary sacrifices.”

“You have to collect it….”

“And you don’t have to eat the horns and you can get the dungeon.”

“That’s the point.”

Seo Ji-han calmly nodded and suddenly looked puzzled.

“But when you say that sacrifice, do you mean the lives of the monsters, or do you mean your sense of taste being sacrificed to eat the dungeon and the horn?”

“entire?”

“Too honest?”

Even as he said that, he smiled lightly as if it was fun.

Now that I think about it, I don’t feel that nervous even when I see him materialize.

I guess I’ve gotten used to it after experiencing it a few times.

“Anyway, I’m going to give up on conversation now. At least in this dungeon. “What about monsters?”

Seo Ji-han, who had been looking at me looking very discouraged for a while, suddenly smiled and opened his mouth.

“No, but you haven’t talked to Jirgis yet. “The king might think differently.”

“Is that so?”

Although he didn’t feel hopeful, Seo Ji-han nodded confidently.

“Let’s just change the method a little bit.”

“how?”
