Chapter: 528

The second hovering statue was already beginning to cast its poison spells on the skeletons, though they were still completely ineffective.

Would their spells work on the undead? Of course not.

Like the other stone soldiers in this dungeon, it was clear that they had lost their intelligence with the passage of time.

Perhaps they had other useful offensive spells before but these would have been long forgotten.

The purple spells harmlessly floated into the skeleton rib cages before dispersing into nothingness.

“Tch,” Jay shook his head, pitying the floating statues.

All this time he had a bone pile next to him and was ready to summon skeletons, but it seems that for now he was overprepared.

Still, this would have been difficult for a normal party of adventurers, as the truth guards could deal as much as 16 damage per second with their poison spell, but for Jay, it was as easy as a walk in the park.

All he had to do was watch and wait.

*Doon… Doon… Doon…*


The statue that was sneak-attacked by the skeletons went flying and was already close to death.

After doing a few pitiful slashing attacks with its claws it died miserably, contributing almost nothing to the fight. The skeletons had a few scratches on their armour but that was it.

It seems these statues were designed to fight against living targets, causing damage over time effects with their poison and then bleeding them to death.

There was one thing though which didn’t make sense to Jay: the stone statues were magic resistant, so how could they cast spells?

Looking a little more closely at the one casting a spell, Jay found the answer.

They were invisible at first, but as mana was pushed into spells some faint blue veins spread over the statue’s arm. It seemed they were coated in some sort of mana-conducting material.

“Interesting…” Jay sneakily squinted at it.

His inner necromancer was impressed, however he had no use for such a material as his skeletons already could sense mana, each of them having their own mana pools.

“So… surely the skeletons could use spells?” Jay wondered.

A mischievous smile grew on his face as he imagined how insanely strong they would be if they started casting magic.

“But first, I will need to learn a purely mana-based spell myself.” He shrugged, reminding himself to copy his necrotic helminth’s spell..

*Doon Doon doon*

A large statue was approaching from the back of the room, but it would be too late – the second floating statue was getting bullied by the four skeletons.

The spellcaster types were usually much weaker in melee combat and this one in particular looked almost like it was suffering as it slashed at whatever it could, but it was all for nothing.
