Chapter: 537

*Phoonk!~*

A bolt from Anya landed right in its chest, causing it to stagger for a moment.

This gave Jay an idea.

A mastermind tactical decision, which is what he would call it later.

The statue was playing checkers while he was playing four-dimensional chess.

He turned and quickly ran back to Anya.

“Let's just fuckin' run.” he laughed maniaclly as he dashed towards Anya.


Jay gestured to go deeper into the room – he didn’t actually mean to retreat, but to get a little further away and keep shooting at it; unknown to Jay, it was typically called kiting.

Anya gave him a confused look for a moment but happily grabbed her crossbow and began to run too.

The statue almost seemed disappointed seeing this, it had made all the effort to materialise a fragment of a distant memory, one of its soul-bound sword – now the enemies simply run from it?

This was like a slap in the face.

*BOOM!~*

In its anger it immediately launched one of its stone swords at Anya – but unlike Jay, she was simply too fast and agile.

Immediately she went into the black mist and re-materialised behind a few weapon shelves with her crossbow ready to fire.

*Pshew!~ Phoonk!~*

Needless to say, the statue didn’t expect this at all; after losing its target, another bolt suddenly pierced its chest. It had no time to deflect it at all.

*BOOM!~* tat tat

Jay flung one of his unstable teeth while it was looking for Anya again. He and the skeletons took advantage of every moment it paused. They were becoming quite an efficient killing force.

The statue was slowing down, and weakness began to spread across its body. Its transparent ghostly sword disappeared as it dropped its arm to the side..

The floating sword behind it got slower and now the skeletons were taking full advantage of it as they smashed their hammers at it with no remorse or honour.

Finally the statue dropped to its knees, collapsing. Its floating sword dropping to the ground and shattering.

Jay exhaled, it was finally over, It was slain.
