Chapter: 610

As they got closer to the base of the mountain range, the throne was slowly tilting backwards – combined with the darkness and gentle bouncing, it only served to make Jay feel more relaxed.

His eyelids were getting heavier and began closing, and he tried to snap out of it a few times but it was a losing battle.

“Wake me up if something happens or if I need to get off,” he said to Blue.

Jay didn't plan to sleep but this was just a precaution.

Suddenly, as the last traces of light left the sky and the forest was drowned in pitch blackness, a howl sounded in the forest.

“Fuck.” Jay thought as he looked around – yet he couldn't see anything and he snapped out of his sleepiness.

More howls sounded out until it became a chorus of howling sounds, almost like they were coming from all around him.


Jay wasn’t sure what creatures were in the forest at night, but based on the howling, he assumed he was dealing with wolves. Probably glade wolves.

“Fuck…”

He didn’t know what level they were, but he was sure there were a lot of them because it sounded like they were coming from all around.

There were two other problems too: one problem was that he had no clue how they had surrounded him so quickly – it was like he somehow entered right into the middle of their territory.

The second problem was that it wouldn’t only slow his speed to a halt, but if there was a fight, then there would be traces of it left over for mage hunters in the future.

Jay jumped off the throne and added the chair to his inventory again. For a moment he considered pulling out his luminous orb – but wouldn’t that be like a beacon for these nocturnal creatures?

“Dammit…” He pursed his lips as he thought about what to do.

Jay remembered his skeletons could see perfectly in the dark, and now, he could use that skill too.

He sat down on the ground and used his [Host] skill. It used quite a lot of mana but that was the least of his concerns right now.

He wasn’t looking for enemies, but for a spot to hide – preferably high up in the trees.

*Awoooo!~*

The howls seemed to be getting closer as he looked around.

Jay had to hurry.

The trees near the mountain were skinny with not many branches, there was not enough time to climb up one. Due to the proximity to the mountain there were many rocks around though.

“That will have to do.” he frowned as he saw a boulder with a flat top across the forest.

It was about up to his shoulder, and a wolf would be able to jump onto it, but it was better than nothing.

Jay ended his host skill and stood up as he held out his hand. He had commanded a skeleton to lead him to the rock.

The howls continued to sound out, and Jay prepared his skeletons, equipping them with their weapons which he re-crafted while on the throne.
