Chapter: 567
Thankfully it didn’t take too long since the skeletons were conducting a one-sided slaughter.
[Soulstone: 501/500]
“Huh? I have… an extra soul stone? Wait… so I can get more than the quest requires?” he raised a brow.
Jay’s eyes gleamed for a moment, realising this meant that there would probably be extra rewards if he got another one hundred, or even five hundred soul stones.
He seriously considered doing it for a moment, but with a sigh, he decided to just take the reward; he was already beginning to feel overwhelmed with everything he needed to do, while there would always be more quests in the future.
Jay entered Sedulus’s lair with resolve, fixated on finishing the quest and getting his rewards: three new skills and an ancient helvetian spear.
Entering the darkness, he found the tall, slender statue once more, sitting silently at the head of the table.
It seemed like Sedulus hadn’t moved an inch since the last time Jay was here, and for a moment he feared that she had died somehow.
Jay didn’t really care if she was in a deep trance or sleep or whatever else a statue could do – he had a quest to turn in and he wanted his rewards,
“Sedulus?” he called.
No response.
“Hello, Sedulus?” he said a little more loudly.
Still no response; Jay started to panic.
“If she reset after I left the dungeon, I am going to lose my fucking mind…” he thought, gritting his teeth.
At this point he wanted to start shaking the statue.
“Young one. Jay. Hello.” the old voice sounded once more.
Jay’s clenched jaw instantly relaxed and a smile soon came over his face, he was instantly relieved.
“I have finished your quest.” he smiled, “five-hundred soul stones, two large soul stones, and three greater soul stones.”
“Also, I have one soul stone with a soul still in it. I’ll throw that in if you can sweeten the deal a little.” he winked.
“A soul… still in a soul stone?”
“Yep.” Jay said.
A moment of silence passed. It seemed the statue was deep in thought.
The statue still hadn’t moved yet, and to Jay it felt like he was talking to a wall.
“Break it.” the statue said.
“Oh… and you will add more to my rewards?”
