Chapter: 290
“I see. Thanks anyway.” Jay nodded with a solemn smile.
“I can still just come here and gather them for myself after the quest. Who’s gunna stop me?” Jay thought, but he stopped himself from making a cunning expression. He wasn’t sure if Sedulus could see his facial expressions after all.
After looking at the beautiful war spear once more, Jay left, leaving the statue in peace.
“Hopefully I can get a large soul stone today… but they will be higher level statues to fight. Good thing I have about 60 teeth spells; I’ll probably run out of mana first though.”
Jay had completely forgotten that the statues were magic immune.
When using a tooth spell, the damage was mostly superficial, but there was still some. The explosive force of tooth would cause tiny bits of it to fly off at high speeds due to the [Propagative Stress Rupturing] part of the spell, which would cause minor physical damage.
Still, it was a waste of both a tooth and the 10 mana required for the spell.
Jay looked towards the second pyramid; It was much larger, and much more imposing.
Its grand size alone somehow resulted in a sense of beauty and majesty.
Thankfully, there was a large wide path connecting the pyramids; a highway of sorts.
The gigantic pillars that were out the front of the first pyramid were now lining each side of the highway.
Jay began his journey to the second pyramid along this black stone road.
It was still quite far in the distance, and many stone soldier statues made up military checkpoints along the highway.
“Hmm, I wonder what the point of these pillars are… just to look cool maybe?” He thought as he walked along.
It wasn’t long before he approached the first group of statues.
Three of them – all spearmen.
“Thankfully, they are all still level three. I wonder if they can work together.”
“Hmm, three is probably not enough to form a phalanx.”
Jay remembered the guards when he approached Losla, there was about five of them all with spears. Even then, they did not look very dangerous.
As he approached, the four skeletons finally jumped into action.
*** Sorry there was no chapter yesterday, the next parts of the story have been quite hard to piece together (I try to do at least one chapter per day); there was also another page of the immortal book. It’s also my birthday. ***
***You all know the drill by now. Free chapter, you can skip if you want; Why? Because I enjoy it. This one is about malevolence. Aero182.***

I found something, in the depths of a dungeon. I had never delved deeper, and never will again.
