Chapter: 243
“Hmm, I wonder if the soldier statues have respawned since I left and came back into the dungeon?”
As Jay approached the gates to the ruined city once more, he found that the destroyed bodies of the statues were still toppled and strewn about; each of them still piles of rubble.
“..I guess the dungeon only resets when everyone including summoned creatures leave. Good to know.”
This was a good thing. If you were in a party with others and had to leave for a moment before returning, the statues wouldn’t suddenly respawn when you came back, catching your team by surprise and slaying them all mercilessly.

Another statue was slain by his skeletons as he walked.
Jay walked past the rubble gateway into the city, heading towards the first pyramid – which he now knew as Sedulus’s home; of course, he would be walking around the side of it, as it was on the other side of this pyramid where a small mountain of empty soul stones were waiting for him to come and collect them.
Even though no statues respawned, Jay remained vigilant as he walked. He had the deathwalker shield raised, but to his surprise he didn’t encounter anything as he got to the two pillars in front of the black pyramid again.
“Huh, I guess there’s either no patrols, or my skeletons are quite thorough…” he thought, since he didn’t see any signs of the powerful stone statues.
As Jay walked around the side of the pyramid, he still didn’t encounter a single statue – despite not having personally travelled this path before.
Nevertheless, he did come across a few broken statues, and it was obvious who, or what, had slain them.

His skeletons were still putting in the work.
Jay didn’t care very much about not finding any statues to fight, as his mind was on other things. While he walked, a smile was beginning to form on his face – a smile of anticipation..
His soul stones were waiting for him.
“I wonder how many they gathered… And all while I was sleeping? Heh, If anyone finds out about my undead companions doing all the hard work, they would kill me out of jealousy.”
Jay had gained 2740 exp all while he slept, which was ridiculous numbers compared to normal adventurers who would have to do 4 or 5 dungeon runs to even get the same amount.
It would take a year of hard work for someone to reach level 20, be Jay was almost half way to level 20 in under a month.
Normally, your experience points would be divided equally in your party, but since Jay was alone, he was reaping all of the benefits.
Not to mention, the skeletons worked tirelessly through the night, showing no signs of fatigue, pain or exhaustion.
Jay finally made it to the back side of the pyramid, and turning the corner, glimmers of light entered his eyes.
“Ohh yes!” a wide grin appeared on his face as he ran to a mound of the empty soul stones.
Jay almost wanted to jump in and swim around in them, but it would probably be a painful experience, so he decided to restrain himself.
“There’s so many..” his eyes gleamed as he looked over the small pile of the dark-green crystals.
With a smile on his face, he put them straight into his inventory.
