Chapter: 194

Sitting down cross-legged again, he started to make five more – though after only making three, he had to stop himself. The hammers required so much of his essence during their creation, and since Jay’s mana was getting too low, he ended up only crafting four in total.

Giving one hammer to each of the skeletons, he realised that he didn’t need more than four anyway. The skeletons were holding the hammers with both their hands.

Since they were smaller than Jay it made it seem like they were two-handed hammers, specifically designed for them.

“Good, good.” Jay smiled, glad he didn’t waste time making more.

“I guess with two-hands they can hit harder too, so this works out great” he thought, looking at his blue skeletons.

Each of the skeletons looked threatening, their blue wolf-skulls gazing defiantly as their bone hands ended in claws, grasping the shaft of the dark green bone hammers.

Jay was glad with how much work he put into his minions, and they represented his work over the last week or so.

At first, he started with a single tiny skeleton that didn’t have any weapons, was made of weak rat bones and wasn’t even as high as his waist. It could only do 1 or 2 damage and had 15 health.

This first feeble creature, true to its name, was feeble. At the time, it didn’t even have a name; though now it was Jay’s strongest – Blue.

Blue was now reclassified as a ‘perennial’ creature after levelling up to three, having 45 health, strong blue wolf bones and could craft its own weapons. It even had mana, which was rare for summoned creatures..

Jay smiled with pride as they stood before him. He had worked hard, and had truly come a long way.

“But while I may be much better than other adventurers my age, I should not forget that I’m still weak. Unlike them, I’m trying to survive. I must get stronger so that I can’t be killed on a whim of some powerful noble. I’m not evil or a monster, and I don’t deserve to die for my class.”

Gripping his new hammer tightly, he marched back up the hill again, encouraged by how far he had come as he was resolute in himself. The two wolf-skull skeletons followed after him.

Peering over the hill, he found his first two targets – the two statues guarding the gate.

Jay took the path down and made his way over.

The deathwalkers sentry shield squeezed his arm, warning him of danger, but this was unnecessary, it was pretty obvious what would happen. Not to mention the clue from the association making it clear he would fight statues.

Jay analysed one of the 7-foot tall stone statues, each of them another head taller than Jay.
