Chapter: 365
Jay continued anyway, gathering even more bones.
The swirling mass of bones around him was truly getting large now, as he needed 800 skeletons to satisfy the next evolution.
It was simple enough – he just kept walking down the ramp, deeper into the sea of skeletons.
Before long, he had his next notification.
[Criteria met – 800/800 Skeletons]
[Necrotic Fingers – Evolution Available]
[Consume all stored skeletons to evolve the necrotic ring?]
[Yes / No]
“Yes” he thought, getting the fourth finger of his hand and then gathering more bones.
[Criteria met – 1600/1600 Skeletons]
[Necrotic Fingers – Evolution Available]
[Consume all stored skeletons to evolve the necrotic ring?]
[Yes / No]
“Yep.” Some thumb armour appeared, all four fingers and his thumb were now covered.
The skeletons swirling above were also like a threatening storm, as the ring could hold more and more bones in the air.
Jay hardly had to move as it seemed that the storm of bones pulling the skeletons into itself was getting stronger.
By now, he made it to the bottom of the ramp and was on the ground level; the bottom of the pit.
Still, he kept moving as he had skeletons to gather. The necrotic gauntlet was still incomplete, as the pieces of finger armour only slightly connected at the sides. His palm and the top of his hand were still bare.
He went to gather more skeletons – but he heard a faint yell through the storm of bones; Anya was calling.
“Jay!” Anya yelled out through the masses of swirling bones.
Jay shifted the ring back into the 5-finger armour.
The swirling storm of bones above and around Jay all suddenly flew into a single point; it was like they were all a swarm of birds which suddenly dived on a single target.
The bones gathered, condensed and became the 5-finger armour and found its rightful place on Jay’s hand. With all of their rattles and tapping disappearing the room suddenly went quiet again.
It was like a hurricane had vanished before their eyes.
How long had he been here anyway? He completely lost track.
