Chapter: 412

Jay decided to enter the fight; if he ran out of mana before this shield went down it was game over.

Swinging his hammer at the shield, he was disappointed by the damage number.

[6]

“What? Aren’t I supposed to be doing at least 12 now??”

Jay analysed the shield again, realising it had 50% melee mitigation.

“Dammit…”

Jay began bashing away at the shield. If he was doing only 6, then his skeletons would be doing much less.

The strength of the skeletons was only 13, having gained one per level since level 1. Each of them dealing a whopping 3.5 damage to this shield per hit.

It really wasn’t much, but at least when the four of them were hitting it, the damage added up.

For now though, two of the skeletons were off dealing with another level 5 imitation skeleton, while a skeleton next to Jay was just about to crumble after having ten of those knives embedded in its body.

Meanwhile, Estobar was pumping out even more of the level 5 skeletons.

“Dammit, I take back my apology you old bastard!”

[6]

Jay smashed his hammer against the shield, causing it to flicker off for a moment.

It would only take a single love tap to kill the shield-projector, since it only had one HP, but Jay decided to try and preserve it so he could study it later.

He made it clear in his mind that it was off-limits, forcing the skeletons to avoid it too.

Instead, Jay and his skeleton targeted the deathmourn turret; it was doing too much damage to be left alive.

[5]

Despite its high damage, it went down in a single hit, having similarly low HP to the skull-shield.

In this time, another level five skeleton had formed…. then another.

“Dammit, the pipes are speeding up?” It seemed that Estobar had managed to raise his other hand during this long fight to place it on another glyph, causing the pipes to speed up – this allowed more of his bones and soul stones to be ‘reconstituted’.

“You dirty fucker Esotobar!” Jay barked.

Meanwhile the ancient Helvetian Estobar, still having a permanently angry face with furrowed brows, seemed to have an ever so small condescending smile on its face as his two new skeletal golems stood before him – though only one lashed out.

One had to guard Estobar since the shield was down, so Jay and his skeleton only had to deal with one for now.

Thankfully, Jay’s other two skeletons had killed their target, but only one returned to Jay since the other had died.
