Chapter: 543

Time passed and the 2 vs 1 battles raged on.

At first, Jay and Anya watched with their weapons raised, but nothing happened so soon they lowered them – then leant against the walls, then stashed their weapons away, and eventually they were sitting down.

Jay of course was sitting down on the chair he brought from home, having a small feeling of superiority for being so prepared.

Anya began sharpening her throwing knives, bolt tips and examining her crossbow as she leant against the wall.

“Well, I might as well do something productive too.” Jay thought as he took out his old familiar book.

“Oh, a new page?” he smiled, opening his immortal book with hungry eyes.

For some reason, he was craving a new lesson. It was almost like he missed it.

“Oh? Good.” Jay grinned, looking up from his book as he noticed the tunnel went quiet – the fighting had finally stopped.

During the fighting, the skeletons only had to be resummoned twice, and after meditating a few times Jay’s mana pool was almost completely full again.

Over time the skeletons took damage and died, dropping their hammers, but Jay sent Dark in to grab them before the statues could advance any further.

It would have been a nightmare if he missed this small detail, but thankfully he fixed the issue before any problems came up.

One by one, the statues moved into the killing tunnel only to slowly get grinded into dust – the only reason Jay and his party would move back would be due to all the debris from the statues’ bodies.

[2550 Exp]

A few hours later, Jay and Anya both grinned with excitement as they shared the exp.

At first they got ready for a long battle and began to rest, but the constant trickle of exp made them smile slightly each time.

“You haven’t levelled up yet?” Anya asked, tilting her head to the side in curiosity.

“Mm. I need more as a necromancer.” Jay said, dismissing her as he packed up his chair and book. Due to his disguise stone, his status still said he was a level nine necromancer after all.

“Shall we get going?” he said, pointing to the end of the tunnel.

“Sure.” she nodded back, packing away her leather-wrapped sharpening kit.

As they walked out, Jay had his skeletons collect all the soul stones and rings.

[Helvetian Ring] x 34

Jay gave Anya her cut of the rings and they continued through the passage, entering the courtyard.
