Chapter: 295

“Shit…” Jay suddenly realised the predicament he was in as the statue continued to draw back its first shot.

Immediately, he ran forward to the first three statues that stood in the darkness.

Each of them prepared for his charge with their spears pointed forward, it seemed like they were trying to stop him from making it to the next circle, of course this was in vein as they soon had to turn to face each of the skeletons, their defensive formation made useless.

Seeing that the archer was about to fire, Jay charged as he was going to use the spear statues as a shield.

“Hopefully the archer statue will hit its own troops in their backs.” he glared with one eye on the spearman statue before him, and another eye on the archer much further behind.


The golden bow was finally stretched all the way back.

*THROOSH~* The arrow released with a deep boom sound from the bow, creating an echo in the room.

A golden arrow of light was released, flying across the room at such a high speed that it almost had no arch.

Strangely, it stopped glowing as it passed through the darkness, though it was flying so fast that it seemed to make the arrow flash.

Finally, it was about to hit the spearman statue in front of Jay.

“Let’s see how powerful this thing is…” Jay thought as this was all happening.

The statue was still in the darkness, and the arrow stopped glowing as it was about to hit the statue.

*Vrrrr~*

The arrow suddenly reappeared with its intense glow right before Jay, making a humming noise as it flowed with energy.

Jay instinctively side-stepped and raised his shield.

He did manage to move to the side but it seemed like the arrow was somehow magnetised towards him, changing its course in mid air.

“F~” he couldn’t even finish the thought as it hit his shield.

*DWOOSH~*

[-3]

“ARGH!” he gritted his teeth as the force of the hit sent him flying backwards. He almost lost balance as he fell to his knees.

“Shit.” he almost didn’t have time to raise his shield..

It did three damage to Jay after much of the damage was negated by his shield – though the shield was not looking very healthy at this moment. All the green veins that coursed across it were gone and there were no traces of green necromancer mana flowing through it anymore.

“Dammit, it might break after the next attack” Jay thought, seeing the sorry state of his shield.

Since the skeletons had circled around, they were now fighting the statues in the darkness from either side.

Red and Sweeper were fighting the statue on the left, while Blue and Lamp worked on the right one, leaving the middle one for Jay.
