Chapter: 341
*Doon doon…*
The first group of heavy soldiers approached as they marched in unison, causing small pebbles to shift on the highway.
While each group of soldiers was separate, they all marched in perfect harmony.
“Get ready.” Jay said, grasping his sword tightly as he stared ahead.
Anya nodded and squinted, ready for battle. She held her crossbow up, aiming to fire as soon as the soldiers came within aggro range of the skeleton vanguard.
The soldier statues suddenly got into range and began to charge. This was not their usual tactic, as they would usually either fight defensively or slowly push forward.
“Somethings different.” Jay said to Anya as he charged into the battle.
Each skeleton kept a statue busy, leaving the fifth one left over for Jay to fight.
*Swoosh~*
*Thwonk~*
[9.7]
Jay dodged a sword slash and retaliated with a hammer smash.
His hammer did more damage now that his strength was higher, but he didn’t have any time to think about it as they had to kill these statues as quickly as they could.
Anya wasn’t idle either, unleashing a stream of heavy bolts at the statue Jay was fighting.
*Shring… shring…*
Each bolt shuddered and cracked off bits of the statue as its health plummeted..
“Nice damage” thought Jay as he finished his enemy off with a final wallop of his hammer.
It seemed like Anya still did more damage despite him raising his strength to 20.
The swordsman statues were level three and only had 35hp, while the spearmen statues were level four with 50hp.
Without pause, Jay dashed over to a nearby statue, smashing its head with the back of his hammer while it was distracted.
Anya dealt massive damage too; soon enough the second statue fell, returning to the rubble from which it was hewn.
The fight was then a five versus three, and the last statues were quickly culled.
*Doon doon doon*
The next set of marching statues was coming, and they barely had any breathing room.
“Keep fighting!” Jay yelled as the skeletons returned to formation.
