Chapter: 430

Immediately he de-summoned Sweeper; its skeletal body collapsed with a clink on Jay’s wooden floor.

Jay got on his hands and knees, digging through the bone pile; he was looking over the bones with expectation, but he didn’t find any of the armour he made for it.

“So… where the hell did it go?” he furrowed his brow in confusion as he resummoned the skeleton again.

There it was again – all the armour Jay made for it, including its new helmet too.

“Give me your helmet.” Jay commanded, holding out his hand.

Of course, Sweeper dropped it on the floor.

Jay shook his head and de-summoned Sweeper once more, ignoring the helmet on the ground.

Even though Sweeper was summoned, the helmet was still there; Jay re-summoned Sweeper again.

This time, it came back with all its other armour except the helmet.

“So… is the armour being stored somewhere or turning back to bones…?”.

It was Jay’s last test – but he was low on mana; too low to summon Sweeper again.

Of course, Jay didn’t want to wait to find out tonight or tomorrow, and with a sigh, he put all his other plans on hold and sat cross-legged on his bed, beginning to meditate.

It was a skill he had not used for a while, not since he was in the Stink-rat Marsh dungeon, but as he started, it was like muscle memory.

Once again, he felt energised as the ambient mana flowed into his body.

Jay took a break, checking his mana gains.

“Wow, five every ten minutes, looks like I’m much faster now too” he smiled. Last time it was only three every ten minutes.

Since Jay was now level 10, had practised with Viladore, and had gained a better feel for ambient mana it was flowing into his body more freely; he could easily pull it in and make it his own.

Jay kept going until he had 30 mana, which would be enough to raise his level three skeleton twice.

He only planned to raise it once more though, as the second time would be for an emergency. It didn’t hurt to be cautious.

“Ok, let’s see…” Jay unsummoned Sweeper, and it clinked onto the floor once more.

Next, he pulled out some of the bones from its corpse – he guessed the approximate amount of what he used to craft the armour and pulled them out.

“Ok, here it goes.” Jay held his hand out as his necrotic, sickly-green, glowing mana made the bones float and clink around once more.
