Chapter: 357

[An abomination, its existence spits in the face of life and death – and they spit back. Flee if possible. Execute with extreme prejudice; burn the bones.]

“Burn the bones? Hmm…” Jay wondered why the description would say such a thing. Maybe there was some living material inside? Perhaps it was simply to expel the necrotic mana.

After seeing the dihexapede soul eater along with the degrading life forms in the tanks, he finally agreed – his skeletons were abominations.

However, they were his abominations; his own little horrors.

Jay found a bench near them with a journal. He went to touch it but stopped just before – he knew it would turn to ash. He analysed it to at least know the title of the journal.

[Estobars Journal]

Jay raised a brow, “Estobar huh? I’ll have to ask Sedulus to get any real answers.”

*DOON*

Another sound interrupted his train of thoughts.

More deep sounds came from above, but were getting less regular. Whatever was happening above them was coming to an end.


Jay wondered what the dihexapede was doing up there, and then he remembered the other notification he got after gazing at it.

[Hidden Quest Acquired]

He opened it, hoping that it wouldn’t ask him to slay a level 133 monster.

<[Hidden Quest – Slay The assistant]>

[Slay the Assistant]

[Progress]

[0/2 Slayed]

“Assistant, singular? But it says I need to slay two of them.”

“Probably some more mysterious bullshit, typical.” he thought, nothing about helvetia or its pyramids were straight-forward and simple.

Jay looked through more notes and other loot but found nothing except more glassware, tools and inscriptions. All of them were useless as they crumbled at his touch.

This was fine though, as to Jay, getting the chimera experience was enough to satisfy him. Besides, the pyramid was still undefeated, maybe there was still loot waiting for him.

Anyway, it wasn’t like there would be some ultra-powerful, mystical magic item that suited Jay perfectly waiting in every room.

With the room searched and the specimen tanks all oogled enough, it was time to find Anya.

Jay could sense the two skeletons he had to escort her so he knew she was coming back through the passageway..

Jay waited at the corner of the passage and put his orb in his inventory, silent as he waited in the darkness.
