Chapter: 364
Approaching the wall of bones, he held out his hand like he was going to use some sort of powerful force on it. He held his hand at the wrist and braced himself.
Any onlooker would have thought he was about to release a powerful spell capable of wiping out a city.
“Amputation?” he thought, desiring a bone to enter his dual-finger armour.
The bone he targeted rattled for a moment and then began to float gently towards him. Not as dramatic as Jay wanted.
As the bone came within reaching distance, Jay lost control of his hand as it grasped the bone.
“Huh?” he thought, wondering what was happening.
Suddenly the two finger pieces of armour squeezed with unnatural strength, crushing the bone as if it were nothing more than a dried out leaf.
“Wow…” the bone turned into two separate pieces with only dust and fragments left in the middle.
The two pieces had splits and cracks in them, and now the necrotic gas had caught them from falling to the ground, like flies in honey their fate was sealed.
The gas entered the cracks and they were then split into smaller pieces before being stuck onto the finger armour.
Somehow, the bone fragments began to dissolve and disappear; They melted like ice sitting on a bench, turning to liquid before disappearing completely.
Jay couldn’t stop smiling seeing this weird trick. He did it again a few more times with different sized bones; to him, it was simply too amazing. There was also a feeling of contentment welling up in him each time he snapped a bone like it was a twig.
After satisfying himself enough, he finally stopped; realising that Anya would be getting bored too.
“Ok, time to get back to business.”
Jay shifted his ring to the orbital form again and began carving another path through the skeleton sea.
Some time later, he got the notification again.
[Criteria met – 400/400 Skeletons]
[Necrotic Fingers – Evolution Available]
[Consume all stored skeletons to evolve the necrotic ring?]
[Yes / No]
“Oh, it’s not going up by one hundred, it’s doubling… damn.” he pursed his lips.
The first evolution needed 100 skeletons, the next was 200, and now 400.
Jay hoped that it would stick to only needing an extra 100, but it seemed that fate had already given him enough today, at least he thought so anyway.
“Well, even having 100 skeletons is crazy.” he shrugged, allowing the evolution.
After the process completed once more, there were now three fingers – but no new skills or changes to the item.
