Chapter: 511

This proved quite effective as they skeletons lost grip and were pushed off, though they still damage their own kind.

The feeble creature had died by this point, and another skeleton was soon to follow – but it didn’t matter to Jay. They had done their jobs quite well.

It was a crazy tactic but it worked.

The dihexapedes that had noticed the commotion were already attacking the preoccupied spearman statues, taking advantage of the chaos.

Jay didn’t want to favour one side over the other, but it seemed that this was all the dihexapedes needed to shift their battle in their favour.

Two spearman statues perished, followed by the rest of Jay’s skeletons and then two more statues.

***Bonus chapter 2/5***


Jay and Anya had made it to the entrance of the pyramid, and compared to the dihexapedes they were now further away from the floating statues – they wouldn’t be targeted.

They were safe for now at least.

For a moment they watched the battle behind them, but after they broke the line of spearmen, they were now being decimated.

Jay and Anya caused a weakness in their formation which became the helvetians’ soldiers undoing.

The formation was what made them strong, but the dihexapedes could now go around and attack from behind, while getting too close for the spears to even be effective.

Before entering the pyramid, Jay quickly brought out a pile of bones and resummoned all his skeletons.

“Let’s head inside before all the statues die.” Jay said as he handed the skeletons their hammers and daggers back.

“Sure.” Anya nodded and followed the skeletons inside with Jay.

Like the other pyramids, this one was also dark inside, so Anya took out her brighter luminous orb.

“Lamp.” Jay pointed at the luminous orb in Anya’s hand.

“Thanks.” Anya said as she let the skeleton carry it.

The small passageway opened up into a large rectangular room with pillars trailing down either side.

As they cautiously crept between the pillars, two dual-dagger stone statues suddenly stepped out from behind the pillars and slashed, taking the skeletons by surprise..

*Shring-shring~ shring-shring~*

It was an effective surprise attack, as the skeletons took heavy damage before they could defend themselves.

The skeletons jumped back and got into a fighting stance.

Jay raised his shield and got into a defensive stance, checking for any other enemies in the hall about to ambush them, but it seemed like there were only the two dual-dagger statues here.

“Hmm…” he squinted around the dark shadowy pillars, not trusting anything.
