Chapter: 670
[Mass Summoning]
Immediately his mood brightened up, “Oh?” he grinned, opening the skill.
<[Mass Summoning]>
– Can summon multiple skeletons at once.
– Can create a mana well within a pile of bones; skeletons will continue to resurrect until the mana runs dry or the bones run out.
– Requires free skeleton slots. Does not sub-resurrect.
“Amazing…” Jays eyes sparkled with delight, “a mana well. Awesome.”
As he continued to read though, he paused, and couldn’t take his eyes of a specific part of the skill.
“What does it mean by sub-resurrect?…”
“Sub…. resurrect…. so… my summons can summon too… I’m guessing? …But how?”
Jay looked at his skeletons carrying him, thinking about it some more.
“I don’t see why not? I mean, they have mana. Necrotic mana.”
“And I copied the scrimshaw skill from them… hmm…”
He read the skill over a few more times – right now, the skill wouldn’t be useful since his skeletons were already alive, but it held exciting implications for his future.
“We need to get you guys levelled up…”
As Jay said that, Lamp and Sweeper gazed up at him, their heads both turning back to look at him at an unnatural angle.
“…” Jay simply looked back.
“What?”
The skeletons went back to looking ahead, carrying their master over roots and between the ancient dark trees.
“…weird.” he thought silently.
As Jay was carried, he chewed on some jerky he had saved, but he made sure to savour every bite – this would be the last he had for a while, at least until he could find some meat and construct a smoker. His other rations were odds and ends he had stashed away – some dried fruit and forest nuts. They wouldn’t last for long.
“I’ll need to send the skeletons hunting soon…”
“But we will still need to travel out of the blood-vine bear’s territory, otherwise there probably won’t be much food at all.” he shrugged,
“…but if I leave its territory, then there might be other beasts. Stronger beasts.”
Jay frowned, in a predicament – albeit a self-imposed one: he wanted to keep travelling south, but right now he was in the safe territory of the blood-vine bear.
