Chapter: 410
Jay squinted as another skeleton was formed; now Estobar had two level 5 skeletal golems running around the room.
This was still manageable, so Jay gave it another chance before having them slain.
“Come on you old prick…” Jay squinted, “…make another skeletal contraption…”
“Come on you old prick…” Jay squinted, “Make another cool skeletal contraption…”
Suddenly, something different was being ‘reconstituted’.
Four bones made a cross-shape which were placed flat on the ground as the base of the structure, while some long femur bones made a tall column with a skull on top.
It appeared that the skull had grown some thick bone hair, similar to dreadlocks – but upon closer inspection, these were all tiny finger bones connected to each other, attached at the back of the skull.
Jay watched silently as he was taking everything he could in, committing everything to memory.
The skull then turned its head at one of the skeletons and opened its mouth.
*Trok… trok… trok*
“Aw shit, it’s a turret! It’s a damn turret!” Jay was as shocked as he was excited.
Each finger bone that made up the turret’s ‘hair’ was pulled into the back of the skull, converted into what looked like a tiny throwing knife and quickly shot out.
Each of these strange knives made a ghostly wailing noise as they travelled through the air to meet their targets.
Jay was figuratively drooling at the mouth. It was a simple-looking design but there was an elegance to it; having only the bare-bones needed to function – literally and figuratively.
Jay didn’t even care that his skeleton was being attacked by it, but he wasted no time and quickly analysed it..
<Dreadmourn Turret – Level 3]>
HP 5/5
<[Weeping Kunai]>
– Causes fear (weak) while airborne
– 4 piercing damage
– Requires ammunition (Bone, fingers)
“Amazing. I could probably make my own ammunition with my scrimshaw skill, so that won’t be a problem for me” he grinned.
Jay would definitely try to make a turret and an energy shield creature now, he didn’t care how long he would have to experiment, it was simply too cool in his eyes.
Estobar obviously didn’t care what Jay thought, he didn’t give Jay any rest as another level 5 skeletal golem was being crafted.
