Chapter: 566

Before Jay could even reach the first two sets of guards, the skeletons had already decimated them; they descended on the statues like a shadow of death, leaving a path of rubble in their wake.

None were spared and there was no mercy. The statues may as well have bowed down and offered their necks on a chopping block.

Finally they got to the pillars in front of the pyramid with the same three guards. The spear statue in the middle was still wearing its strange black helmet, but it would be useless against these barbaric skeletons.

Again it happened: Before Jay even got there the skeletons had killed the two swordsmen statues at the sides and then made short work of the spearman statue. It was like they were clearing a path for their king.

Previously, the dungeon had felt like a slow, tiresome grind, but it now felt like a massacre. Jay was pleased seeing how much stronger he and his minions had become.

The lower level statues simply had no hope; they barely got to swing their weapons before they broke down and crumbled into dust before the assault of the undead.

As for landing a hit on the skeletons? The statues might as well be dreaming.

While walking, Jay recalled how there was actually no way to get to Sedulus through the front of the pyramid. The first time, he had escaped a jail cell, walked through a series of passages and passed through moving walls, so he knew he would have to go through the back entrance.

As he walked around the side of the pyramid, the skeletons continued their rampage with no restraint or hesitation.

The statues in this part of the dungeon fell one after another with little resistance.

Jay didn’t mind walking around the side of the pyramid, since he still needed to collect about thirty soul stones, but this was an easy task now, and the quest would be over in no time.

Finally, he reached the back and found the familiar passageway into Sedulus’s tomb.

Before entering, Jay checked how many soul stones he still needed.

[Soulstone: 489/500]

“Argh, come on.” he said, frowning slightly.

More exp notifications popped up, and Dark came running back with two more soul stones.

Jay decided to practice his mana sense ability while he waited, trying to expand it as far as possible. He managed to activate it again, and slowly began walking around.

It did drain his mana rapidly, but he didn’t care at this moment since he wasn’t going to need it anyway. He simply wanted to train until he actually acquired the skill.

Meanwhile, Dark continued to return with rings and soul stones until Jay finally had enough.
