Chapter: 227

Nothing was inside the chest. Suddenly, before he could realise it was a trap, four glowing blue walls materialised around him and his skeletons. The walls went all the way up to the ceiling – which was seemingly endless as it looked like they just kept going.

“Shit,” Jay boredly said, disappointed that the chest was merely another trap. He wasn’t scared, as it was a low level dungeon – rauther, he was annoyed. “I probably could’ve activated my boots and dashed out of here if I was quick enough… oh well.” he shrugged.

“Here we go again.”

After a moment, he felt a little confused as nothing happened after the blue walls formed – though suddenly, the ground below him, along with the chest, dematerialised. Jay and his skeletons fell down into a small chamber.

The floor re-materialised as they fell through it, creating a roof and sealing them in his room.

The room was quite small, and Jay was feeling a little too close to his skeletons. There wasn’t enough room for any of them to fight.

“Damn, at least this trap’s a bit more creative. The wall-ambushes were kinda getting boring.”

Looking around, one side of the room had a lattice of tiny black threads, criss-crossing to form a sort of web-wall. It almost looked like the wall was made of fibrous hairs.

Jay squinted at it suspiciously, approaching slowly, and putting his hand on it.

“Ah, bastard.” the fibres that made up the wall were sharper than razors, easily cutting into Jay’s skin.

“Damn, how am I supposed to get out of here?” Jay didn’t bother touching the hair-like fibres again or forcing them, knowing it would just end in pain. He tried to gently slash his hammer across it, but it had no effect. The fibre-wall was made of the same invincible dungeon material.

Walking to each different wall of this prison cell, he cautiously put his hand against each wall – all three sides were solid without any engravings.

“Damn, I guess I could try to use a spell against the fibre wall. It’s too bad I shoved my last tooth down that leech queen’s throat.” Jay smiled to himself slyly, remembering how much that parasite squealed in pain.

“Well, I suppose I could just leave the dungeon… but that’d suck, what a waste of time..Surely it wouldn’t end like this. I guess I could try calling out.”

The fibre-like wall wasn’t completely filled, and Jay’s orb glowed through to the other side, forming gentle shadows on the ground.

“Hello?!”

Silence…for a moment.

“..hello” Jay’s voice echoed back after a moment. Clearly it was a very large room.

After the echo died down, Jay heard a new noise – the sounds of stone boulders grinding once more.

“Ok, so somethings gonna happen at least.”

Jay went to the back of the cell as he waited patiently for whatever was about to happen. The sounds of grinding stone soon started to mix in with sounds of heavy footsteps – though it was hard to tell how many. There could have been four or fourty statues coming for him, he wasn’t sure.

Jay wasn’t too phased though, as he would just sacrifice his minions and leave the dungeon if it was too dangerous.

“Bring it on,” he said confidently, raising his shield as he waited.

***Sorry for the slower chapters. Study has started again. Doing a healthcare degree is a lot of work. Fear not though, the book will continue :).***
