Chapter: 531
The large statue was launching sword after sword at the skeletons, keeping them at a distance for the most part.
More and more swords floated off a nearby weapon rack to replace the ones it lost, but they were quickly sent flying at Blue’s head as well as the other skeletons.
The skull was a smaller target so it was harder to hit. Blue only tilted its skull to the side to evade, but its necrotic helmet still took a graze.
Jay was too far away to analyse the large statue, but he already understood the danger of the upper floor: Get pinned down, and the truth guards will make you poisoned and bleed to death.
Thankfully the truth guards were already slain by now.
Other adventurers would have probably taken their time in dealing with them carefully and tactfully to not take poison or bleed damage, and would end up just giving time for the sword-levitating statue to attack, but this wasn’t true for the undead.
The statue continued to blend the air around its body with its flying swords. The sword attacks were not as damaging as the truth guards, but it would still be hard to kill this boss as its crowd control skills were advanced.
*Shhhh~Boom!*
A skeleton got close, but not close enough. The statue narrowly avoided taking a hammer strike as it swept another skeleton away with one sword before pinning it to the ground with the other.
Its tactic was quite simple: It would spin two swords around its body to keep the skeletons at bay before launching one when it found an opening.
Jay quickly resummoned his minions whenever they were getting pinned down or dying.
Multiple skeleton remains decorated the walls, ground and weapon racks of the room, pinned to them by the stone swords. Slowly they began accumulating in the room, making it seem like an ancient grand battle had happened here.
Jay grinned as he thought of a solution, realising the weakness of this boss..
“The statue will definitely shit itself…” he smiled like a devil.
Lamp was summoned again and Jay quickly put his plan into action.
“Here.” Jay handed his own hammer to the skeleton before sending it off with its own special orders.
It wasn’t long before Lamp was hard at work.
*Clank~* *Clank~* *Clank~*
The other skeletons were busy distracting the statue, but after a short pause the statue suddenly released two swords, sending them rocketing towards Lamp.
*Ka-Boom!~*
Lamp evaded easily and ignored it as it continued its special mission.
*Clank~*
It was destroying the stone hammers on the weapon racks.
Needless to say, the statue went crazy.
