Chapter: 320

Little did Jay realise, he was beginning to talk to these inanimate constructs as if they were his friends.

The dark cobalt-blue amulet had the image of a green crossbow bolt on it, and he felt like it was much better looking.

“Nice” he smiled.

“Now… how are you supposed to attack in this form?”

Suddenly, the ethereal head of the snake reappeared just above his shoulder. Slowly its jaw winded back open to almost a 180-degree angle, and then snapped shut.

“Oh?”

A crossbow bolt made purely from necrotic energy shot out towards a nearby wall of the pyramid at high speed.

“Wow..” Jay raised a brow before grinning, shocked with the speed of the projectile. It even left after-images, though that may be due to the necrotic magic which formed the bolt.

Seeing the speed, Jay felt like he could kill anything that would try to run from him now. With a shoulder-mounted weapon he felt like some sort of predator.

Jay watched with anticipation as the bolt was about to hit the other side of the room, but at it hit the wall, it didn’t affect it at all – It simply passed through it.

“What? Where’s the damage?” he re-read the helminth skill, confirming that it would do 5 damage – but he found that it specified ‘necrotic’ damage, and quickly he realised that necrotic magic energy probably won’t do much against stone – not to mention that this was a helvetian pyramid; a cursed land where even the stone statues were immune to magic.

“I suppose we should test you outside…” Jay said to his ghostly helminth “Still, I’m glad I can have you with me secretly… but definitely don’t go firing any bolts unless I tell you to.”

The ethereal skull snapped its jaw, lowered its head and disappeared.

Jay felt its energy-form snuggle itself back into a ring around his neck. It was weightless, but he could still sense it.

He tried to touch it but his hand simply went through it and he physically felt nothing.

“Huh, must be my necromancer senses I guess.” he shrugged, knowing the helminth was there even though he couldn’t touch it.

“I suppose it’s good that no one can touch you.”

With nothing left for him in the dungeon, Jay decided to leave.

Jay could have remained here longer and accomplished a few various tasks, but decided he should attend Viladore’s lesson.

“I’ll fix the shield later tonight.” he thought.

Jay knew he wouldn’t need the shield in the meantime, and besides, he should be saving at least some of his mana for Viladore’s lesson.

Jay willed to leave the dungeon, and the familiar obelisk rose with a door in it.

As Jay left, more adventurers were waiting outside, but Jay ignored them as usual.

“If people knew I was level 10, they would probably be coming to me for lessons…” Jay stopped a proud smirk from forming on his face as he walked through the adventurers.

Of course, Jay still had the disguise stone activated making him appear as if he were level 9. Nevertheless, being level 9 at this stage still made him a sort of infamous idol among the low level adventurers of Losla. The sense of superiority that was created around him even made it hard for some adventurers to approach him, they simply watched in admiration.
