The Skeleton Soldier Failed to Defend the Dungeon - Vol. 2 Ch. 97

[nomadicengi]

Again with the temple. I do wonder thou, will it be filled with corpses or will the come way before it was attacked.

Also, Jesus Christ that's a lot of development. With so much development, his assimilation rate dropped again.

 

[Nekuroi]

then you start to doubt if the assimilation rate going 100% is good or bad.

 

[ZookaDex]

I miss ghost anime they were so far ahead of this, why did they delete all their uploads?

 

[weeniedex]

i hope it doesn't turn out that they're in a video game

What is with the bribes

 

[imcrazy]

so... i kinda feel like Mrs.succubus could have, maybe, brought back from the dead her lover (a demon? magician?) but because the soul of her boyfriend was too powerful for a skeleton to handle, they come up with the idea of a simulation that strengthen the user in stages upon leveling up (physical) or unveiling memories/stories (mental) to make it suitable for him to get his power and memories back.

 

[CinderKin]

I guess this is officially an isekai now.

Hum ...

First of all, Isaac is lying. Better said, he is not telling all that he knows. Remember that Isaac in the other timeline knew who Skellebro ... skeleton belonged to and the author cut him off when he was about to drop the beans? Sure, this Isaac might have not made the connection yet, but he has intel about who Skellebro is ... and for sure he is not sharing.

Second, all that Isaac thinks he knows was force fed to him by "Kevin Ashton" and who knows for what propose Ashton revealed this piece of intel ( true or not ) to Isaac . In other words, he is in the exact same position than Skellebro or worse ( since he has no stats windows ) regarding knowledge of the world real mechanics. I would take his ravings with a grain of salt, because, after all, it is second hand knowledge by his own admission.

Third, I have to agree with Isaac on one thing: there is a heavy veil of dumbness around Skellebro, maybe a little too much to be natural

@rrolo1
He's a classic harem protagonist, that should explain, why he's so dense.

 

[gasbandit]

Isaac is an NPC on the cusp of realizing the truth of his world.

 

[rebel16]

At this point I'm thinking the Skeleton is Kevin Ashton, and the reason his Int goes up every time he reads a KA book is that he's getting some of his knowledge/self back. The author's also setting up Skeleton's name reveal to be a Big Deal, and "Kevin Ashton" is the only name of importance we've been given so far with no one attached to it; any other reveal, while still possible, would be less dramatic.

 

[rrolo1]

@rebel16

Maybe ( I would definitely not be surprised if that was the case ) , but then you would have to explain how Kevin Asthon is still around publishing stuff while Skellebro is moving around ( not only the books, but newspaper blurbs, that can't easily be prepared beforehand ). It is not unexplainable, for sure, but that part does not fit as well as that ...

 

[rebel16]

@rrolo1 Very true. There's a lot left to be explained.

 

[leandro1amaral]

Ch. 97 and we are still watching the plot developing.

Such a fresh feeling, diferent form most fantasy manga/manhwa, where all the pertinent story gets done in the earlly chapters and then goes full harem, op mc, uninteresting slow ending.

 

[Dark_Tzitzimine]

This was a surprisingly good development for Skelly boy, I can't wait to see how it all goes tits up in the next chapters.

I almost forgot about Succubus, what a way to bring her back into the plot.

 

[captain_crunch]

So many random developments, is this guy going to replace the thief girl as sidekick? 😎

 

[like_neat]

Does an 100% assimilation rate mean MC becomes a resident?

 

[Nk9bjP4A]

The talking sword should get a cat girl instead of a skeleton.

 

[AdBlockTurnedOff]

@like_neat you mean 0%?? I mean it is counting down. But an interesting theory nonetheless!

 

[Streoxys]

Another thing is, we don't know what was he even doing in his first "life" for whole 10 years (it was 10 or 20, don't remember) between his summoning/ Rubia's death and meeting succubus.
Pretty big time gap and he never talks about it. Maybe he got his memories erased.
When he remembers previous events he never uses his first life memories, like they're non-existent.
He was summoned, 10 years later joined succubus army and nothing notable happened in between? Not even world wide events like wars?
Very unlikely.
