Chapter: 299
Jay certainly didn’t want to get hit by a tree-trunk sized arrow, so he made a mental note to save his boots for that.

Finally, he was now close enough to analyse the archer statue.

“What the hell? I can’t see any of its skills? …And it’s level one?” Jay scoffed, “I don’t believe that for a second…” he pursed his lips, frustrated..

Something weird was definitely going on, and while there was an element of danger, Jay now believed he could still win.

His skeletons wasted no time in engaging their targets, and Jay wasted no time either as he jumped right into the battle.

He pounced on the statues with the cold and diligent focus of a veteran assassin; keeping one eye on the archer as he punished the spearmen with his hammer.

The middle spearmen seemed to be a little more fearsome this time as it seemed to have better reflexes, and Jay squinted at it in suspicion, analysing it.

“It’s level four.” he realised before commanding his skeletons.

“Finish the level three ones first, boys!”

*VRRR~* another arrow hummed towards Jay, but he stepped into the darkness just in time. The arrow dematerialised right before him, threatening to bore right into his chest; Jay unconsciously exhaled seeing it.

Jay was fighting with one foot in the light and one foot in the darkness, allowing him to easily evade the arrows now.

The archer statue had no expression as its face was stone, but Jay was sure that it would be grinding its teeth with a vein bursting in its forehead if it could.

This only encouraged Jay to hammer faster, dodging spear thrusts and smashing stone helmets.
