Chapter: 220

“Soul stones again.. What about that helmet.” Jay walked over to the black helmet, picking it up to try it on.

It was far too big for him, he looked like a child wearing his fathers helmet.

Jay tried to analyse the helmet.

“Hmm?” Nothing happened, and he didn’t receive any notifications.

“I guess it doesn’t count as armour maybe?” he tried to store it in his inventory, but still, nothing.

“Huh, it must count as part of the dungeon or something… I can’t even stash it away. Damn.”

Jay pursed his lips, a little dissatisfied that he had to leave the helmet here. After physically inspecting it, he found that it didn’t even have the slightest mark from when he smashed it with his hammer.

“It’s a shame. I guess it has no use to me.” he thought, leaving it sitting on what was left of the spearman’s crumbled stone body, a tombstone of sorts.

“It does seem a little strange that there is even such a thing in a dungeon – an invincible helmet?” Jay thought as he walked away “Maybe it’s not invincible, maybe it’s just a training mechanism of the dungeon?” he wondered to himself.

The two skeletons had finally slain the last stone soldier, and Jay casually went over to loot it too.

“Phew, a little rough but we did well.” Jay thought about the fight, “And I have learnt another lesson the hard way: always analyse enemies. That reminds me, come here.” he beckoned Lamp over as he used [Shell Restoration] on it. Green gas left Jay’s hand as the creature’s hitpoints slowly returned to 100%.

“Thankfully you only took 5 damage this time.”

After Lamp was healed, Jay finally took a moment to admire the massive pyramid before him. It was the smallest of the ones he saw, but in front of it he was like an ant; it was larger than the hill that the adventurer association was built on.

Even the gigantic pillars he stood between seemed to betray it as they paled in comparison.

Jay felt like sitting down, gazing at it for a while, but he resisted the urge.

Walking forward, he made his way towards the entrance. As he got closer, the slab roof above casted a large dark shadow, noticeably colder as he passed into the shadow.

Since the structure was so large, it took him a while before he even made it into the pyramid.

Walking through the entrance of the dark pyramid took 10 minutes, and Jay held the deathwalker sentry shield forward, using it’s [Shade Vision] skill to see any looming threats in the darkness.

Not much light got past the entrance or the large statues holding up the roof, so it was hard to see the walls on either side.

The large rectangular entrance was the start of a long passage, which continued for some time – but after a while it gradually became smaller.

“The air smells stale and dry,” thought Jay. Nevertheless, he pressed on as he waited for his shield to detect traces of enemies in the darkness ahead – nothing was seen though.

“Hmm, it’s getting a little too dark now…” Jay took out a small luminous orb, a soft blue glow emanating from it.

The skeletons were already using both hands to carry their hammers, so Jay sheathed his sword to hold the orb.
