Chapter: 371

They both headed through the metal door and began walking up the passage again.

“We need to be stealthy again,” Jay whispered, “those deep sounds were coming from up here and that creature could be anywhere. Be ready to leave at a moment’s notice.”

Anya nodded, her expression serious as she became professional again.


The duo crept up the passage with the skeletons in front.

Passing the rings of crystals, each of them caused the crystal detectors to light up both green and yellow respectively.

Jay remembered that the dihexapede soul eater caused a red light to come from the passage, so it must have lit up red; right before he heard the deep booming sounds.

“Hmm… I wonder why it lights up yellow for me and the skeletons.” Jay wondered.

Anya was the only one who made it green.

“Strange..” he thought as he walked through another, the yellow light reflecting in his eyes.

They silently reached the top, the only sound the small party made came from the taping of the skeleton bones.

Finally they laid their eyes upon the dihexapede soul eater once more.

“What…” Jay’s brows were creased, seeing what was in the entrance, he stopped himself from speaking.

Before them was a battlefield – the remnants of one anyway..

The massive statues were still standing on their pedestals, however not all of them…

The two swordsman giants had been turned to rubble, along with one of the spearmen statues.

“They aren’t just statues?” Anya whispered.

Jay was still gazing up at them, nodding slowly with fearful eyes.

Between the giant broken statues, the recently slain body of the dihexapede soul eater lay, oozing red blood from its corpse; the human head had blood still pouring from its mouth and eyes, the jaw was still slack.

A spear the size of a tree was pinning its body to the ground, along with some giant arrows sticking from its hide, each of them larger than javelins. Giant holes, perforations and slashes riddled its body.

“No fucking way…” was Jay’s only thought as he looked over the battle scene.

The dihexapede was still partly wrapped around the broken legs of the destroyed statues, it clearly didn’t go down without a fight.

Jay looked over the statues next.

Blood was dripping from the spear of the remaining giant spearman statue.

The two legless floating statues were both turned, facing towards the dihexapede – but unmoving, as if they were frozen in mid-air again.

Jay felt it was safe enough to talk quietly since none of them moved.
