Chapter: 216
Normally, out of spite, Albin wouldn’t bother to share most of his visions, but this would be something that would affect all of them, something that would shake the world, turning entire nations upside down. Even though he was imprisoned, what he saw and felt during his vision made his skin crawl.
With two more of the sword-wielding stone soldiers destroyed, Jay made his way to the next pair.
“The spear-wielding ones are next if I remember correctly…” he looked at his skeletons “Focus on dodging this time.” he squinted at them, remembering that one of their rib cages was blown inwards last time.
Jay didn’t want to waste mana on repairing his skeletons, and he remembered that getting hit by the weapons of the stone soldiers caused mana burn, so he was trying to conserve as much of his mana as possible.
Feeling confident, Jay decided to simply have his two minions distract one of the spear soldiers while he would fight the other one.
As the fight started, the spear statues were more aggressive compared to the swordsmen variants.
Jay didn’t notice it before when he was low mana, but he had to dodge and duck a lot more to avoid the spear thrusts and swipes – of course, they were still obvious to him now that he was full mana.
After dodging a spear thrust, he jumped up, swinging his hammer sideways and smashing it in the side of it’s head, the stone helmet flying off.

“Oh?” He found a new trick to fighting them “I assumed the helmets were attached somehow… Well that makes things easier.”
Without much more thought, he jumped past another spear and smashed it’s head again.
[12][Critical Hit][Stunned]
Seizing the opportunity from the stun, he dropped his shield, gripping his hammer with two hands.
“It really isn’t your day, huh” he thought in mid-air.
Gritting his teeth from the strength he was putting behind the strike, he smashed it directly into its head, forming a small cave as he shattered it into rubble and stones.
[24][Critical Hit].

Jay smiled after seeing his damage, “It’s over when I land a stun, especially when I use two hands for double damage.. maybe I should just use two hands from now on.” he looked at his shield on the ground as he thought for a moment.
“…Nah, It might hurt me in the long run. The combat experience with a shield will be important, and it would suck to let such a good shield go to waste anyway…”
Jay picked up the shield “Besides, I can only go 2-handed when I know the enemy can’t strike, which is almost never. In the future, it will probably be too dangerous to fight without a shield.” he reasoned to himself as he thought about other adventurers who fought using two-handed weapons, such as Mark.
“Hmm, Mark’s probably a rare case of someone with insane damage, but most of the others don’t have those glowing swords, so how do they do it…“ Jay wondered how the 2-handed classes survived in dungeons, then he realised something incredibly obvious – something which he didn’t have, and may never have.
“Hmm, they probably go with someone who has a tank-class, someone who pulls aggression while they attack relentlessly… dammit. It would be easy if I could just party with whoever I wanted.”
He felt a little jealous, but looked at his skeletons, still fighting the other stone soldier.
“I suppose you guys are ok.” He smiled, looking at them slowly getting the upp hand over the spear-wielding stone statue.
Jay waited for a moment as he watched them, letting them finish the target off.
