I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul - Chapter 135
Episode 136
“Hmm, I guess it’s no one else’s business.”
I grinned as I looked at Seo Ji-han, who was confused.
Then, he took out one of Inogis’ two prongs and placed it on the table.
“Bite it.”
Seo Ji-han was silent for a moment. I smiled brightly and looked at his stiff face.
“I seemed to have good compatibility with Inogis’ Shadow Jump Seo Ji-han. Recovery skills too. It went well, right? “I gained useful skills.”
Either way, it is a skill that suits Seo Ji-han very well.
I don’t know which skill this horn will give, jumping or recovery, but either will be fine. You can feed them both.
“Yes.”
Seo Ji-han, who answered with a troubled expression, hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth.
“I said it before, but I don’t think it’s right for me to eat both the magic stone and the horn. “It’s shameful.”
“Oh, this much is okay. And this time, the skill compatibility is really good. “I can’t even eat it all by myself anyway.”
He was in awe, but when I repeatedly encouraged him, he finally pretended not to be able to resist and settled down in front of the horn. And then he glanced at me.
I nodded loudly.
Finally he opened his mouth wide and took in the tip of the horn.
“Bite hard.”
Haha now I’m not alone.
I have a horn-eating colleague.
I was truly delighted and looked forward to his first bite.
But Seo Ji-han’s jaw did not move.
“What’s wrong?”
“hmm.”
He spit out what he had kept in his mouth and looked back and forth between the horn and me with an ambiguous expression. Then he scratched the back of his head and tilted his head.
”I guess it doesn’t work. “There are no teeth at all.”
“yes? No way!”
“Really.”
“Look!”
Isn’t this supposed to be eaten?
Surprised, I lightly chewed the part right next to where Seo Ji-han had bitten.
Then, a simple, crispy crumb entered my mouth.
Then a notification message appeared.
I consumed the horn of Beast King Inogis.
The number of S-class skills that can be inherited has reached its limit.
To acquire additional S-class skills, existing S-class skills must be deleted.
When 100% consumption is completed, a special option < Enhancement > is activated.

?
When I looked at Seo Ji-han in an absurd mood, he drooped his eyebrows and smiled awkwardly.
“I guess it won’t work because I’m not really alive. “Seeing as how he couldn’t even use S-class potions, it would be better to assume that he has various limitations.”
No way! If Seo Ji-han can’t eat the horn, I’ll have to eat it all in the end.
There is no option to give it to someone else. I’ve said this over and over again, but why should I give something I can’t even eat to someone else?
It is already enough to give the horn to Yu Eun-dam.
By the way, did Eundam Yoo eat all the horns? I’ll have to ask later.
“I wanted you to have some horns while you were materializing, but I never thought it would be like this…”
I muttered helplessly, and he sheepishly apologized.
“I’m sorry.”
“No, no. What does Seo Ji-han have to be sorry about?”
Even though I said that, I still feel a little tired.
Anyway, since I chewed this horn, I have to eat it all eventually. My homework has increased again.
The good news is that I can eat almost all of Jirgis’ horn. I’ll probably eat it all by tomorrow evening. It looks like it can be cleaned up.
“Now there are two left? Dungeon.”
“Yes. One of the Beast King type and one of the Giant King type. In total, there are two left.”
“The place you were originally supposed to go to next was the Beast King Dungeon, right?”
I looked at Seo Ji-han nodding his head with a pessimistic feeling.
To be honest, I was so disappointed in the Beast King Inogis dungeon that I just went to, so I have no expectations at all about the next Beast King type dungeon. Besides,
what is the Giant King type dungeon? The name itself is very ominous. Especially the word ‘geo’ is very ominous. And the word ‘god’ attached to the end also looks very sinister… “Haha, there must have been an article about the closure of the Inogis Dungeon by now, right? Rumbling again
. “You must be swearing.”
I can’t convince the boss monster, I swear, and I have a lot of horns to eat, so I have a lot of homework. Every single
one of them is disappointing.
But I have no intention of quitting. If I don’t do it, who will?
* * *
The next day, I did the fourth . We set off for the dungeon of Beast King Pergis.
Thanks to three successive failed attempts at persuasion, the hopeful mood was completely dampened.
Even though I captured Pergis and gave him communication lessons and delivered the usual persuasive comments, I had no expectations.
Anyway, there was silence . “He would cry or howl or swear or curse or something like that.
Expectations? There is no such thing anymore. He is dead.
So when the pure white deer with multi-colored antlers nodded briefly while Pergis was being suppressed, I thought I had made a mistake for a moment.
” “I will be subjugated under you.”
“Really?”
I couldn’t believe it, so I stammered. I
reflexively looked at Seo Ji-han, and his eyes were wide open as if he was surprised.
Didn’t I hear it wrong? You
really said you would be my subject, right? Not an ally, but a subject!
“Mr. Seo Ji-han, Lion’s Scythe. “Try to clean it up. Quickly!”
It may have been a bit of a hasty action, but I was just as desperate.
And since Pergis is a monster that fights mainly with magic shields and slow magic bullets, it wasn’t difficult to subdue it again.
“Oh, okay.”
Seo Ji-han must have been surprised and thought he would object at least once when he was told to release him, but he took the Shinigami’s scythe without a second thought. As the
black scythe that was pressing down on the nape of his neck was removed, Fergis slowly folded his front legs and sat down, carefully observing our facial expressions.
Bright blue like a jewel . A huge white deer with eyes.
Fergis looked at me quietly with eyes filled with wisdom and opened his mouth:
“I agree with you when you say that this is a wasteful fight. What I lost on the way here is more than I can even remember, and the blood shed is more than enough to fill a river. “My blood relatives are all exhausted from the long flight.”
Oh, how hard it must have been to get here.
Trying to swallow the sweet consolation that was about to escape my mouth, I nodded faithfully.
“Your vassal is powerful. Even if my entire territory were to come forward, I couldn’t handle it. And the person who commands him. “You too are not weaker than him.”
Pergis tilted his muzzle and fell into contemplation, as if reminiscing about the past.
“I cannot feel your power, but I can feel the energy of so many kings. There are only a handful of people who radiate as much kingly energy as you, even after passing through the halls.” “There were so few. They were all very powerful.”
I have an impatient personality, so I was getting more and more anxious to receive the horn as quickly as possible. I
don’t think he would suddenly stand up and hit me with the horn like Geogis, saying, ‘Did you think I gave in? The reason I kneeled was to gain momentum!’
As I met the boss monsters, my doubts only increased.
“I do not want great power like other kings crave, nor am I interested in sweeping other worlds with slaughter. But what I want is the same as you.”
“Same as me?”
“It’s about surviving. It’s about not having weaker compatriots die anymore.”
“Oh yes…”
Pergis slowly got up.
My head, which was quite high when I was sitting, was now at an extremely high level.
It was almost comparable in height to a giraffe.
When this monster first slowly walked out of the forest, I was so intoxicated by the sense of mystery that I even forgot about the strategy.
“So, I trust you will understand my caution. “A king who has not reached the final hall.”
“what do you mean?”
I will think carefully, so give me one year. It’s not like this, is it?
“There are conditions.”
A message window appeared in front of me along with Pergis’ words.
This is a form I saw once in the past during Kim Young-gil’s time.
It’s a quest window, right?
The Beast King Pergis in front of you is asking for your safety. Eliminate entities that harm Beast King Pergis’ blood relatives within the dungeon. If you succeed in the mission, you can receive the rewards below.
Reward: Beast King Pergis’ Crown Inheritance
Time Limit: 1 day
Ah, a being who harms blood relatives.
You’re asking us to kick out our hunters. He must be hunting right now.
Now we’re on the same side, so we can’t fight.
That’s something worth asking for.
The one-day time limit is a bit urgent, but I understand that. It’s a bit like that if you put it off from day to day.
I was reading through the book, agreeing with most of the points, but stopped dead in my tracks at the failure penalty in the last paragraph.
Failure Penalty: Give object sergeant to Pergis.
Do you want to accept?
Reimburse the object seojihan?
So, if you fail this quest, you are going to take the sergeant from me?
The sight before my eyes turned white.
“Should I collect it?”
I heard Seo Ji-han calling me.
“What kind of trick is this?”
I wanted to ask as calmly as possible, but the words that came out of my mouth were so cold that even I was surprised.
Pergis seemed to have been overwhelmed by my momentum and was unable to say anything.
“The penalty details are strange.”
“Should I collect it? Let’s calm down?”
Seo Ji-han, who had no way of knowing the details of the quest that had only appeared to me, hurriedly approached me.
“Ha hahaha Seo Ji-han. I wasn’t excited. “You’re smiling.”
“Aren’t you gritting your teeth?”
“no. “I’m raising the corners of my mouth properly.”
“Aren’t you just trying to show your fangs?”
“No way. Would I make such a threat?
“No, it’s not a threat. I think I’ll just kill him right away.”
Only then did I realize that I was reflexively raising my magic power to my horn and aiming it at Pergis.
If I had hesitated, the Chungwang cannon might have been fired right away without me even knowing.
But my eyes were still fixed on the translucent message window.
In the part called ‘Repaying Seo Ji-han to Pergis’.
“What’s wrong with you all of a sudden?”
What was in Seo Ji-han’s eyes was pure worry.
I glared at Fergis, who was shrinking, and tried to smile casually.
“This goat says he will take Seo Ji-han.”
“He’s a deer… or he’s taking me?”
“It’s a quest failure penalty that drives all hunters out of this dungeon.”
This goat is crossing the line too hard.
