Chapter: 555

Seeing that there was no trap or other enemies in the expansive room, Jay began walking closer to the battle.

The statues were doing minimal damage to the skeletons and it seemed that they were quite weak so he had no fears as he added the bone pile back to his ring.

As he drew closer, something else stood out to him: they weren’t just any ordinary stone daggers.

He didn’t see it at first, but each of them released a soft blue shimmer and left a faint dark-green scrape on the skeletons each time they slashed against their bones.

The daggers seemed to be coated with more of that mana-conducting material, coating it in a complex pattern across the blade.

Anya crept forward beside Jay and prepared to fire, but Jay just held his hand up, gesturing to her to wait a moment and save her ammunition.

Slowly, he continued to walk forward and analysed one of the statues.

“Huh, only level six and not even any skills? Way too easy… I guess they would have been annoying if the middle statue was still alive. It’s no wonder the skeletons are having such an easy time.” Jay shrugged.

He wanted to know what magical dagger effect the maids were using that caused the green cuts, but it seemed that they were merely channelling mana through their arms into the dagger somehow, and the dagger was doing the rest – so there was nothing on their skill list.

Unfortunately, the helvetian curse would still affect the daggers, so Jay wouldn’t even be able to find out what affects the daggers were doing after they died; the curse stopped him from using their weapons.

After pondering for a moment and checking the health of the skeletons, Jay simply assumed it was some sort of toxin or a poison, as the skeletons took no extra damage.
