Chapter: 253

“Interesting…” he gazed closer, taking a few hits from the water bullets.

[Mana burn – nullified]

“Heh, must be my mana membrane skill. Well, I guess I better end you.” he turned to the turret, stabbing his sword into it.

The water turret deformed for a moment, but quickly reformed and began firing again.

“… nothing happened?”

*flup flup flup* it continued to fire its little water projectiles at Jay’s shield.

“Huh, no damage. I wonder…”

“You’re probably made from mana, so I simply need to attack your mana reserve right?” Jay looked at his shield, remembering a skill that it had.

[Mana burn – Physical contact causes manaloss to enemies]

“You’re not the only one with mana burn” he smiled.

Jay gently brought the shield closer to the turret – and upon contact, the turret deformed.

The turret, of course, tried to reform – only to touch his shield again.

“Stop hitting yourself” he chuckled.

This process repeated a few times, and it didn’t take too long before the turret turned back into a harmless puddle of water.

Jay stood up, looking around at these strange little turrets he just killed.

“Hmm. Weird. I guess it was probably some adventurer testing their skills and forgetting to de…construct them.” He almost said desummon, but realised that wasn’t exactly accurate.

Jay put his sword and back his inventory and used [Shell Restoration] on his shield as he continued to walk through the forest before he put it away again.

Continuing along the path, it curved around a thick patch of trees and bushes – this was when Jay heard a now-familiar noise: the sound of the turrets activating.

Jay ducked behind a tree just as the turrets began firing.

*taka taka taka*

*taka taka taka*

Two stone turrets, one fluid turret and one forest turret began to assault Jay – that was when he heard someone snickering at him from atop a large rock.

“This is what you get” a short man with a proud sneering smile and his hands on his hips spat, he was looking down on Jay as if he was a pig rolling around in mud.

It was Stephen, who Jay publicly insulted before entering the dungeon. Clearly, he was bitter about it – and Jay expected as much.
