Uhuh. Thanks, Moleman. Appreciated.
Riddle 2: incorrect. Riddle 3: incorrect.> has been awakened.> Ah, here we go. The tomb bursts open with sharp bits of rock flying everyone, one stabbing deep into my chest and breaking a rib or two, which is totally uncool. I don’t know exactly what I expected the inhabitant itself to look like, but a burning skeleton wasn’t exactly it. Not that I’m complaining, it looks awesome, I’m just a bit surprised, is all. Hm. Okay, I just want to consider the pros and cons here. Firstly, being killed by a burning skeleton for failing to answer his riddles three is both cool and lame. I mean, burning skeleton? Awesome. Being remembered for failing three trick questions? Not quite as cool. Oh, and I never did check out what Moleman’s earlier message said. Hmm. Okay, fine, I’ll fight. I stand up, but only a second too late as the skeleton stabs his hand into my chest. My skin bursts into flames and my flesh starts to cook and I can feel it groping after my heart. Very rude. I grab onto its skeleton arm and break it off, but the skeleton hand inside my chest keeps going. Hm. That’s worrisome. Also, holding the skeleton’s hand is making my hands cook and char, which in turn makes my fingers curl up and close around the skeleton’s arm, so I can’t even let go. Not good. In a fight like this, I can’t exactly afford to lose both of my arms, so I keep my grip on it. I have no idea if this skeleton can be beaten through normal means, but that doesn’t actually matter too much. I have more than just normal means to work with, after all. Still gripping it, I activate Touch of Reverse Tolerance. <[Touch of Reversed Fracture Tolerance (Lv.7)]> <[Touch of Reversed Divinity Tolerance (Lv.7)]> <[Touch of Reversed Drowning Tolerance (Lv.7)]> <[Touch of Reversed Cold Tolerance (Lv.7)]> <[Touch of Reversed Blunt Tolerance (Lv.7)]> The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation. <[Touch of Reversed Oxygen Deficiency Tolerance (Lv.7)]> <[Touch of Reversed Fever Tolerance (Lv.7)]> <[Touch of Reversed Hypothermia Tolerance (Lv.7)]> <[Touch of Balance Nausea Tolerance (Lv.7)]> <[Touch of Reversed Acid Tolerance (Lv.7)]> Touch of Reversed Tolerance Lv.8> The skeleton’s flames flicker and it starts to crack here and there. But I’m far from done. <[Touch of Reversed Fracture Tolerance (Lv.8)]> <[Touch of Reversed Divinity Tolerance (Lv.8)]> <[Touch of Reversed Drowning Tolerance (Lv.8)]> <[Touch of Reversed Cold Tolerance (Lv.8)]> <[Touch of Reversed Blunt Tolerance (Lv.8)]> <[Touch of Reversed Oxygen Deficiency Tolerance (Lv.8)]> <[Touch of Reversed Fever Tolerance (Lv.8)]> <[Touch of Reversed Hypothermia Tolerance (Lv.8)]> <[Touch of Balance Nausea Tolerance (Lv.8)]> <[Touch of Reversed Acid Tolerance (Lv.8)]> That was apparently enough, as the bones I hold in my hands turn brittle enough for me to crush it fully. The flames don’t even cover the entire skeleton anymore, but rather only its head alone. So that’s where it’s coming from, huh? Since my hands are anyway curled, I just clench them fully. Time to punch some skeleton. And I’m just about to do so when I feel something hot and burning clutch around my still-beating heart. Oh, yeah, that hand is still in there, isn’t it? My mind speeds up to subsonic levels and I throw my punch, right at its cracked and weakened skull. With a loud crack, right as I feel its hand tighten around my heart, I punch my hand straight through its skull. <[Level Up]> Strength has increased by 2. Stamina has increased by 4.
