Chapter: 296
“Why didn’t the arrow hit the statue?” he wondered as he was forced to get back into the fight and keep the statue busy.
[-6][-6]
Jay got some hits in with the hammer, but the archer statue was already pulling back another shot.
“Dammit…”
[-6]
Jay got another hit in, but it would be bad to be fighting while another arrow was coming towards him, so he backed off and prepared.
*THROOSH~* Another arrow released.
Again, the blazing golden arrow flew across the room, flashing as it went in and out of the shadows.
Jay placed himself between a statue and the arrow again, but backed up much further into the light circle.
“This time, I will see what happens…”
The arrow was blazing with light as it passed through the circle behind the statue, then suddenly it entered the shadow and stopped glowing again.
Jay was sure it was on a perfect trajectory towards the statue, but nothing happened.
*VRRrrr~* it began glowing again as it left the shadow and entered Jay’s circle, coming straight towards him.
“Asklin!” Jay activated his boots as he ducked sideways, dashing to the right. This time he was well out of the way of the arrow so he dodged it.
“Damn, it’s too hard to see in the dark when it enters the shadows, my eyes don’t adjust quickly enough…”
“Why does it stop glowing anyway?” he raised a brow.
It didn’t make too much sense to Jay, realising it should have also hit the statues.
“It should have hit the soldiers though… is it simply disappearing? Or completely becoming intangible?”
There was no more time for thinking. Already the statue was pulling the golden bow back again, priming another attack.
Jay connected the dots after the first two attacks and dashed out of the light circle into the shadows on the right.
The middle spearman statue went to fight Blue and Lamp because Jay disengaged; now there was a 2 versus 2, a 2 versus 1, along with the archer statue firing at Jay.
The spearman statue Jay had been fighting wasn’t the only one to act differently.
“Hmm?” Jay gazed at the archer statue in the back. It was no longer pulling an arrow back.
Suddenly, its golden bow disappeared after bursting into particles of light.
The statue stood for a moment, staring at Jay. It somehow seemed like it was annoyed.
