Chapter: 518
*tink tink tink*
They bashed their hammers against its heavily armoured back and took away more chips of stone along with some of its health points.

“Hm?” the statue wasn’t moving towards Jay or Anya – instead it was going to the forge area. Its head was fixated on the metal hammer.
Jay recalled what happened with Estobar. It might be interesting to see what would happen once it reached its metal hammer, but it was simply too risky.
“Nope. Not this time.” Jay thought as he instantly commanded a skeleton.
The skeleton hopped across and made it to the hammer first – it tried to grab it with one hand but it didn’t budge, so it dropped its bone hammer and used two hands.
Nothing. No movement at all. It may as well have been fixed to the ground.
The hammer was simply too heavy.
“How the hell was it lifting it with just a pair of tongs?” Jay’s brows creased in confusion.
The statue was coming, so the skeleton gave up on its prize and grabbed its bone hammer again before dashing away.
Just before the statue grabbed the hammer, it hesitated for a moment as it gazed at the metal hammer; it was about to dual-wield two hammers.
As it reached out its hand paused for a moment – though as another hammer strike from the skeletons came down on its back, it shook its head and grabbed it instantly before swinging around behind itself.
The hammer was instantly coated in a faint golden aura; it was hard to see because of the orange light from the forge, but it was definitely there.
*BOOM!!!~*
It smashed right through two skeletons, ending them instantly.
“What the fuck?!” Jay said as he watched two skeletons turning to flying bones in one attack; he instantly resummoned the destroyed skeletons.
The statue was now looking directly at him.
As it walked forward, the hammer slowly stopped glowing golden, it became faint before pulsing for a moment and suddenly disappearing.
Next, the metal shine the hammer was giving off before disappeared.
Jay looked a little more closely and noticed that it had dark-grey veins now travelling through it. It was turning to stone, and the grey veins now growing through it were beginning to look like the other stone hammer it was dual-wielding.
*Doon, doon, doon~*
It walked faster towards Jay, who suddenly realised what would happen.
The curse of Helvetia’s revenge was changing its last metal hammer to stone – this was why it used the metal tongs to hold it awkwardly. Due to its blacksmith experience, the metal hammer in its hands was much more dangerous than some cursed stone imitation.
If the hammer connected with him with it was still metal it would end in instant death; if he evaded long enough, it would be a battle of attrition until he wins. It was over once the hammer turned fully to stone.
