Chapter: 651

“You two, start sparring with each other.” he said, a hint of anger in his voice.

The skeletons each nodded, and soon the clanging of weapons and the shield started sounding out on the edge of the rocky mountain.

While the encroaching beast was an ever-pressing matter, the sparring skeletons began to compete with it for Jay’s attention.

Besides, it would still be almost an hour before he would receive any notifications, based on the time it took Sweeper to die last time, so it was okay to watch.

*Clang!~*

Dark parried a slash, and using the momentum returned a thrust with its second blade.

The blade dug into the shield and left a small imprint.

Heavy was the smaller skeleton, but its weighty armour stopped it from moving back as it braced itself.

Dark jumped back and analyzed its prey as it thought for a moment. It wasn’t happy merely doing damage to the shield, so it was forced to come up with a different strategy.

Heavy gazed at Dark from behind it’s shield, slowly inching forward like a moving wall – albeit a very small wall as it was short.

Finally, Dark moved again.

Dark assumed a battle stance as it crouched low, spinning one knife into a reverse-grip and then dashing back in to the fight.

Heavy stepped forward with a slash – however it was a feint, it put zero strength into the slash.

Dark easily deflected the weak strike, but didn’t expect the shield to move so quickly.

*Boong~*

Heavy re-directed its strength into the shield.

With a small thud, Heavy bashed its shield against Dark, using the momentum of both of them to create a bigger impact. It was the lower level skeleton so it had to use its opponents weight against it.

Jay nodded in approval as he watched closely.

Dark was thrown off-balance for a moment; it had never experienced such a feeling before.

But now, another thrust was coming directly towards it – this time, it was easy to tell that it had as much strength in it as Heavy could muster.

Dark frantically slashed both of its dual daggers upwards at once.

Even to its own surprise, this was enough to deflect the powerful strike, sending it grazing right past its shoulder.

Dark jumped back once more, re-analyzing the fight after it nearly took massive damage delivered straight to its spine.

While it had dual daggers on its side, there was no getting past the shield. Despite being the level two skeleton, it was tactically outmatched. Plus, its mind was technically younger.

“Hmm… what will Dark do…”
