Chapter: 318

“Go, Sweeper.”

The skeleton went over to the throne and grabbed it this time. Jay still had a look of suspicion on his face, but to his surprise nothing happened.

“Huh, I guess I was wrong.” he shrugged before commanding his skeleton.

“Ok, bring it over.”

Sweeper slowly crept backwards away from the throne before jumping back, and then ran towards Jay at its usual speed with the stone. Jay smiled lightly seeing its human-like behaviour.

The stone was still kite-shaped but much smaller, and would fit comfortably in Jay’s hand, however It was not glowing anymore. It was a strange yellow rock.

Jay held out his hand to accept it, but again, just before Sweeper went to hand it to Jay, it dropped it on the ground before him.

“Dammit Sweeper…” Jay was a little dissatisfied, but this was still due to his own orders which he still hadn’t changed, though for some reason he felt like Sweeper enjoyed doing this.

Suddenly, a small skull popped out of the ground, grabbed the stone and held it up for its master.

Jay smiled, already appreciative of his new minion.

“Good, thank you.” he said, grabbing the strange stone and looking at his skeletons. He was going to reprimand Sweeper but decided not to say anything.

“I guess I did name him Sweeper after all…” he thought with a cheeky smile.

The skeleton worm-parasite snapped its jaws and went back underground, seemingly happy that it pleased its master.

Jay analysed the stone.

“Status concealer? So this is why that archer was level one!”

Jay realised quickly this was why it had [???] on all its skills. It had been bugging him since he saw the archers stats.

“So it’s like a disguise for stats. I’m guessing it wasn’t really called a treasure guard or whatever it was called.”

“Hmm… I bet this comes in handy someday. It would be good to change my name… and people won’t suspect a thing since they aren’t allowed to see other people’s skills… I could even keep myself at level 9” a big grin appeared to form on Jay’s face.

“Oh… maybe I could even escape the mage hunters by simply changing my name?” Jay looked up in thought “But… I would have to hide my face too. I guess it could work.”

“Wow,” a big grin began to form on Jay’s face as he realised other possibilities, his thoughts even drifted to things such as assassination.

“This is probably even better than the treasure that the statue was pretending to guard.”
