Chapter: 196
The sword strike also applied mana burn, though losing 2.5 mana was inconsequential for Jay, as he currently half-way up a sword.
The pain was intense, but the sword was quickly pulled out as the soldier prepared to thrust again. The hole in Jay’s chest was healed in an instant, his health points draining instead, while the pain left.
The damage would only be permanent if his health points reached zero – then he would die.
This was the first time Jay took a mortal wound; until now, he had only taken small stabs and scratches, though a wound like this would have originally killed him instantly; he certainly would have died if he was still a normal person without a class.
Thankfully, Jay was an adventurer with a large health pool now. There was no such thing as mortal damage as long as you have health points.
During the fight, it took some time for Jay to adjust to this, realising he was still alive and the hole in his chest was gone as he patted his hand over it.
“Dammit, glad I put lots of points into vitality…” he thought as he stepped back and rubbed his chest.
“What the fuck…” he thought, as there was no hole.
*Whoosh!*
He ducked another sword swing which flew over his head – then he promptly rolled to the side.
*Shruu*
The second sword made a different noise as it was thrust through the wind – directly at the same spot where Jay was just crouching.
The minions were attacking the ankles of the warriors by now, chunks of rock and cracks were forming.
*Clingg*
Jay dodged a few more times before finally, with a loud ring, the ankle of one of the soldiers was blasted apart.
The first soldier fell to the ground, leaving only the second standing.
Jay had both his minions focus on the standing one while he stopped dodging and put in some work with his own hammer.
*Cling cling cling*
After the soldier’s legs were crumbled, the three of them went together, ganging up on the second soldier.
Jay smashed at it’s head, removing a cheek plate off of it’s stone T-visor helmet.
The minions were each focusing on its ankles still, soon it turned around with a swing of its sword, hitting Lamp.
Lamp offered no resistance to the sword as it was sliced directly across it’s abdomen. The skeletons were light and the sword was heavy, so of course, Lamp completely left the ground.
“Lamp went fucking flying”
Jay almost laughed, the level 2 skeleton made it almost halfway up the hill that they just walked down. Their light skeletal bodies couldn’t contend with a huge stone sword after all.
“I guess they can fly.” Jay thought with a chuckle as he turned back to the soldier and smashed the back of it’s head with his hammer.
