Chapter: 344

“They’re about to get up!”

Jay was in the attack range of one of them, and he didn’t take any chances as he immediately jumped back.

*Swoosh~*

Just in time as a spear pierced right where his head just was. A skeleton wasn’t so lucky as it was struck, it went flying and skittled across the highway.

“Fuck…” he shook his head.

“I thought that ability lasted longer?” Jay asked.

“They’re stronger somehow. I don’t know?” Anya shrugged as she aimed another bolt.

*Shring~*

“Dammit…” Jay thought.

“At least there’s only three left,” he said. “You can finish them off.” he waved his hand as he stepped back further and began to catch his breath.

The skeleton that was hit away returned to the fight with just as much vigour and ferocity as it always had.

“I guess Anya’s ability doesn’t count as magic since they’re magic immune? I wonder why it didn’t last as long though…”

Jay remembered previously when fighting the leeches; even inside the leech queen’s stomach he kowtowed – There was plenty of time to get out of the stomach and fight back.

“Oh well.” he thought, “I don’t rely on others anyway. If I wanted, I still could have activated my boots and got out of the fight safely.”

Finally, the last three statues went down, and the group received some notifications.

[Entrance Challenge – Complete]

[990 Exp]

“Not a bad amount of exp I guess. Pretty decent for a short amount of time.” Jay thought as he checked over the notifications – before turning to Anya who had quite a different reaction.

Anya’s eyes were bulging and she had a wide smile on her face – the first time Jay had seen her smile this widely.

“So much exp” she was ecstatic, completely joyful for a moment. Gone was the icy cold indifference she usually exhibited.

It would have taken a group of at least five to conquer this challenge, diluting the experience points gained – however, with Jay, they each received fifty perfect of the exp.

Suddenly, she noticed Jay looking at her.

Immediately she turned away and coughed, “Good job.” she said before turning back again with her usual cold stare.

*GURRRRRRR~*

Jay looked towards the pyramid – the doors were moving. Each of them groaned as they opened outwards; both doors were as thick as a road and as tall as giants.
