Chapter: 542
In truth, Jay was a little more disappointed than bored. He had used this tactic before so all he had to do was keep summoning skeletons and wait.
It seemed that to excite a necromancer, one needed a diverse battlefield with fluid battle tactics; to manage the ebbs and flows of a full-scale war is what he subconsciously desired. While he didn’t have the forces necessary to wage a war, this still felt like child’s play.
Still, he would at least enjoy seeing his minions crush some enemies.
*Pshew!~*
Anya began launching bolts from behind the group of skeletons.
The statues simply raised their shields though, so for now she gave up trying. It was a fearsome statue formation; each of them had their spears pointed and their shields raised as they slowly marched forward, forming a semi-circle formation around the passage exit.
It was like a wall of pointy death with no cracks to get through. A perfect formation which had only been honed after all the centuries.
“Hmm. Get back.” Jay said.
The skeletons all retreated back into the passageway at his orders. It didn’t make sense to fight them out in the open like that.
All of them stood about 10 meters deeper in the passage.
“That’s better.” Jay smiled, seeing the first statue have to enter alone.
Unfortunately for the statue, all it could do was thrust its spear due to the narrow passage.
It would be a decent attack under normal circumstances, but since that’s all it can do here it became obvious and easy to dodge.
The skeletons displayed their nimble capabilities once again, easily dodging each thrust that came their way and retaliating with a hammer smash.
The only disadvantage of the skeletons was that they had to break down the statues shield before they could do any significant damage to the statue behind it.
The skeletons were already used to its thrusts and even seemed to get better at dodging them so it was only a matter of time.
*Crack!~**Crack!~**Crack!~**Crack!~*
Hit after hit they whittled down the first shield and it wasn’t long before it finally crumbled. The statue went down soon after – without its shield, it could only continue to thrust helplessly.

The enemy statue crumbled, and unlike the statues at the start of the dungeon these ones had no cares about stepping over their dead comrades.
The shield-breaking process started once again, and after a while the second one went down.

“Hm. Seems like it’s a battle of stamina?” Jay raised a brow, “maybe a test of stamina is more accurate…”
“Well, the undead have unlimited stamina so… I guess we just wait while I pass the test.” he shrugged with a slight smile.
“Yeah. As long as your skeletons don’t die it seems we’ll be fine.” Anya smiled, happy with the easy experience. She did a lot of the damage in the last battle so she didn’t feel guilty for taking a rest and letting the exp float in.
