Chapter: 203
“AHH FRRRK!” he grinded his teeth from the pain as the spear was pulled out, doing more damage as it left the hole which caused his health to drop again.

[Mana burn – 0.5mana/second for 5 seconds]
The hole disappeared as his HP drained instead.
“You’ll pay for that!” Jay said angrily as he swung fiercely and stepped forward, his hammer smashing against the statue’s helmet.
No stun happened, but Jay wasn’t relying on it anyway.
The stone soldier stepped back as it prepared another thrust – but Jay had planted his foot on its shield and pushed it back, causing it to back up a few steps so it wouldn’t fall over.
“Damn, mana burn again. It must be caused by the soldiers’ skills since these ones have different weapons.”
As his mana was getting lower, Jay was finding it harder to think. He wasn’t in any danger right now but he wondered if he should retreat or not.
Not thinking too clearly, he decided to have his skeletons pounce and hammer at the statue he was fighting. If they both died he would just collect the bones and run, resummoning them later after he had meditated and was in better condition. Jay’s health was fine and it was only his mana getting low that he was worrying about.
The statue only had 20 health left, and after Jay’s skeletons pounced it was dropped to 10, then 5 after another smack from Jay.
The second statue thrust its spear at a skeleton again, easily hitting it since Jay had them fighting thoughtlessly like berserkers.
The speed and force of the thrust was enough to send the skeleton flying into some nearby ruins.
Jay ended the stone soldier with a final smash to it’s head, causing it to drop its spear which shattered onto the ground; it fell to its knees and stopped moving; still sitting upright with its shield in hand.

“Yep, it’s dead.” thought Jay as he glanced at it. He expected it to fall face down, but instead it’s body ended up in this upright kneeling position.
The second statue walked around it’s dead brother, thrusting at Jay and using it’s shield to swat the skeletons. It had 30 health, as one skeleton had managed to land an attack previously.
Jay and his skeletons made short work of the lone stone soldier. At least one of them could make an attack when it was distracted by the other two.
Jay was getting good at dealing with two statues, so killing a single soldier was simple now, a piece of cake.
With some well-placed hammer strikes, he crumbled the last soldier.

It died falling onto it’s back after Jay hit it with a final uppercut attack, his hammer successfully connecting with its chin.
“Come here,” Jay said to his skeleton. Red approached Jay, it was just about half health and it’s rib cage was caved in.
“Ouch, you took quite a hit huh? Those spears really hurt – more than the swords did.”
“Ok, that’s it. Home time.” Jay was really low mana, so he decided to finally head back.
