Chapter: 415
“Eugh, any time now old man… What is it? Hmm? What? Is there something on my face?”
Suddenly, his hand turned upside down; each of his fingers crunched up except for one – with his dying bit of strength he was…
“Hey, fuck you too!” Jay finally realised what he was doing and gave him the rude finger right back. Right to his face.
“Decrepit old fuck. You should be thanking me for giving you a painless death.”
Suddenly he dropped his hand, his blue eyes went dark, never to glow again.
“Cheeky old bastard…” Jay smiled, “.. to be fair, I probably would’ve done the same thing.”
Despite Estobar’s last action, Jay still felt a hint of sadness; a great mind was lost to death, a grand hexamist of helvetia. It was nothing to celebrate about.

“Now…” Jay snapped his fingers – the skeletons began hammering at the energy shield.
Suddenly, it went down without any warning.
“Hm? Has it been 5 minutes already?” Jay wondered, guessing that the power source which was a soul stone must have run out.
“Oh well.” he shrugged, going over to loot Estobar before looting the throne. He decided to study the weird little shield-projector later.
[Escobar’s Journal]
“Oh, another journal… wait, it doesn’t crumble?” Jay smiled, flipping through the pages.
The writing was unidentifiable, it may have well been scribbled – however, there were a few pictures. Jay only looked at a few strange contraptions before closing the book – everything was faded and the pages were delicate so he decided to have a look through it later when he got to a quieter place.
Jay then went to see what he could look from the chair – as he walked around the back of it he had a sly smile on his face.
Gripping his fingers around a larger crystal, it popped out with a click though it had a strange, thick black wire attached; easily ripped off.

“Finally, a greater one.” Jay shook his head with a sigh, “I earned this.” he looked around the room at all the carnage left behind – yet there wasn’t much left as Jay had already added all the fallen skeletons to his gauntlet.
Jay checked his quest.
